The clothing industry (or pretty much any low cost country manufacturing) is much much much worse than what is described here. Ubfortunately, people buy products produced by effectively torturing workers all the time. That doesn't in a

Users never returning has an effect on bottom line. So you can make the argument from that position. Whether users return, and how that hurts your business, depends very much on your site and your users. I will disagree about UX not being

Then you go back to the point made in the beginning of the article: Is the better UX during 5xx worth the extra investment? Does it directly drive more revenue than what it costs in developer time? I would argue that in most situations the

Neural networks are not magic. You can't solve the travelling salesman problem in polynomial time just by throwing machine learning at it... On a mathematical level you can prove that machine learning will do a bad job for certain thin

GDP is not just a number you know. If one were previously hungry and cold and are now well fed and comfortable, of course that affects happiness. Why do you doubt that?

If you are going to include remote effects like competition from poor people getting education, you also need to include an infinite amount of other effects; in particular world stability, the chances of terrorist attacks, 3rd world war, re

Lack of self-control really is a bad reason to choose one over the other. Just make a contract with yourself to save 2/3 of salary each month. More savings and more experience puts you in a lot better position to do a startup later at

"6% options is about average for a co-founder-level tech lead at a very small company." Even if true, the fact that there are a lot of gullible young tech leads driving this average down is no good reason that the poster should be

To me it sounds like Google... Take what Google offers as a baseline. Convert the difference per year to stock at a realistic valuation (as in, if you were a VC what would you give). Compare it, factoring in the strike price (so at a stri

The context of my comment was specifically that it was said that the one accepted paper had to pay for the cost of all the rejected ones. Is all the things you say (editing, typesetting) done prior to review? It wasn't done on the pape

Well, I feel pretty convinced that in 10 years the world has thrown technology at this problem and that costs has gone down and that the publishing industry is dead; whether or not you say you "can" do so or not.

...except that both can be applied to solve the same problems. And so they are in fact very related. For instance with a macro you could do (made up syntax) SortIntSlice = mymacros.MakeSorter!(int) ...then at compile time have code for sort

Go has a lot of pain points but the one positive thing it has over other languages is how it handles interfaces. The whole point is that the caller can make new interfaces to fit existing structs in other libraries.

Well I did a PhD in CMB analysis so that is how I know. Not sure if such things will ever be controllable by people who are not researchers in the field (or at least doing similar kind of data analysis). It is a shame the peer review system

In neighborhoods you charge cars slowly during night when consumption for other electrical equipment is lower. Certainly no need for 300A+.

I support it for lanes with a mixture of walking and biking (which at least in Norway is almost all the bike lanes). There is a huge difference in outcome in colliding with pedestrians in 25 km/h vs 30 km/h. Non-e-bikers that hit

Probably because you talk about size of population on the level of countries/continents which is clearly irrelevant to the question here (where population of an individual city is what matters, at best). So not distaste or disagreement

"Turned out to be not statistically significant" is a very polite way of saying it... they initially said "up to 6 sigma significance", while it was obvious to anyone in the field that the data analysis in the paper was

I would be very sceptical of data analysis papers with Penrose's name on them. Penrose & Gurzadyan committed this travesty: https://arxiv.org/abs/1011.3706 ...and the entire CMB analysis community quickly rush

...you have proposed try/finally/except I guess (just put some closures in there where needed). I think just using try/finally/except would be a step up over what has been proposed.

If I could do SortSliceOfIntFunction := MakeIntSorter!(int) ...then I would not need generics to sort a slice of ints. I just generate code that I would have written without generics to implememt the case for ints. You need to instantiate f

I am not sure if I understand your question. If a macro expansion violates typing rule then you get a compile time error of course.. is it a question about the quality og error messages?

By that logic, then currently, if you want cool generics abilities, there is Java for you. No need for Go. But then there's this spec for generics, so obviously one wants to develop Go further. And I think it's a valid question wh

by dagss 8y ago
I am disappointed that go seems to follow Java and C++ with generics support instead of taking a more LISP-like turn like e.g. Julia. I would much rather have powerful hygienic compile-time macros to generate code. Then I would have the pow
