I don't think that evidence is what would determine if it's worth of scientific study. For me it's testability the criteria. If the thesis is testable it's worth of scientific study because we will learn something fo

There are two forces sustaining fake physics : 1. "publish or perish" 2. preserve credibility capitalization (scientist's karma points) The former is what generates fake science, and the later is what let it pros

I'm afraid that this will simply move the problem (remove some problem and create new problems). How do you define big, etc. Another problem is that creating a glass cieling may cut motivation which was the biggest defect of communism.

I believe that capitalism is doomed. The sooner the better for humanity because capitalism is more dangerous than communism. The best way to expose the problem of capitalism is with this joke "Give a man a fish, and he will eat for one

I don't see any "strength" in the classical object oriented programming model as found in C++ or Java. Actually, in modern programming composition is considered superior to inheritance. The interface concept of Go makes progr

There is indeed room for improvement. I wish they would listen more the users or do ergonomic evaluations of the interface. Since the recent reduction of the team I'm afraid they are now more focused into finding money and a viable bus

He is estimated by many people for his multiple significant contributions that he started at a young age. He also made mistakes and a very big one (committing suicide). You say you don't understand why people estimate him. What's

I'm going full Go. I've got it accepted as programming language for some software component I'm in charge of. It's for a scientific research application. For me it's a big change since I was full C++ for the last 15

We need more OS diversity. Putting all the eggs in the same basket is too dangerous regarding security. I'm very impressed by the work of the Haiku community.

These two desirable features, email verification and minimal friction are not incompatible. It is possible to allow a user to login right away and verify email in parallel. It could also be possible to ask the user to double check the email

I'm very impressed by the small foot print of NATS server (2.8MB). It's definitely an interesting choice for IoT. We currently have to make a choice between kafka and Nats and the decision is not easy. :) Is it possible to know if

Since Go has pointers and Java doesn't. I thus expect Java to be safer than go. However, I don't know why but I don't like programming in Java. It's too verbose probably. I also prefer Go because it is closer to the meta

Not only static typing. I just found a bug in an open source python tool that crashed because of a missing member variable in a class. You have to assign a value in the attribute to create it. It requires careful programming to not get such

Compared to C it is safer. I never saw a segmentation fault, only some panic errors with bound checking. I prefer go to python or javascipt. It's far too easy to make errors in them. Minimal static code checking.

Version conflicts and package naming collisions are two different problems. The OP referred to the version problems. I overlooked package naming conflict which can occur with composed package names. It is true and correct that aliasing will

with big projects we will have dependencies with other packages. It is a good sign that this happens. But then we get also version dependency witch is currently ignored by go. I use gvm which is one way to handle it, but it is not enough be

To me the root problem for this alias proposal is that go currently ignores version dependencies. Go is designed so that we have to assume that an API and the compiler are either perfectly backward compatible or immutable. This is a simplif

There are a few steps missing. Before the push, we need to pull on master and rebase the branch on top of master. See triangular workflow in this page [ https://github.com/blog/2042-git-2-5-including-multiple-work... ]

I suspect that upwork received threats of legal action if they didn't terminate the account. They took the easiest path. Well the path they assumed, was easiest. Anyway, this shows poor crisis and damage control management.

Thanks. I saw that gitless has the option -p that is documented as allowing to select parts of a file to commit. I'm curious to test that. It seam possible to reshuffle commits using `gl fuse` which is a kind of `git rebase`, but there
