Pprof should cover most of that for pure Go code, though.

But how would Valgrind know more than the GC? Of course a program in a GCed language can leak memory, but it’s not clear to me how Valgrind would detect the kinds of memory leaks that you can create in pure Go code (without calling into C o

That’s a factor, but I’d still rather have an M1 MacBook Air than any other laptop with a comparable form factor. Surely AMD and Intel can offer something that’s at least able to compete with an M1 in terms of performance per Watt. But Appl

Yes, but it is not till quite recently that this implied formal attendance tracking of student attendance at individual lectures. For example, here is how UCL interpreted the requirements as recently as 2015: https://www.ucl.ac.u

I think OP is talking about the rise of the Nazis rather than the period where the Nazis were already in control and resistance was much more difficult. Although, in fairness, Hitler was already chancellor ‘90 years ago’.

I agree with your overall point of view, but is this defense contract really the best example? If the UK is sliding into technofeudalism it's not because we've only just started forking some of our defense budget over to morally d

The actual guideline is “there is a convention on HN of asking users not to use quotation marks to make it look like they're quoting someone when they're actually not .” That clearly didn’t happen here because the commenter indic

It is not correct to think of garbage collection as malloc + free + GC overhead . For example, allocating memory is much faster in many GC designs than a call to malloc (it can just be a pointer bump on the fast path). I think you are assu

The question isn’t whether people should be fired (that’s up to their employers, within the law) but whether there should be a concerted popular campaign to get people fired who said dumb things on Twitter. That’s the “call out culture” par

You could ask the same thing about HN in general. There’s an interest in the UK that’s disproportionate to the country’s global influence or to the number of British HNers. As best I can understand, a particular negative outlook on the UK h

It’s not a historically unique phenomenon. The Weimar Republic ended 87 years ago. Progress isn’t monotonic. There are often periods of regression.

I don’t think it’s technically true that your shares in your company would be worth a multiple of what someone else paid for their shares when your shares were valued as part of your overall wealth for tax purposes.

Your scenario seems unrealistic at best. If you artificially inflate the valuation of your company then possibly you might pay more taxes. So, don't do that. But I don't think Harris's proposed law would have led to you payin

Harris’s unrealized gains tax was to apply only to taxpayers with a net wealth of over $100 million. So it would have had no implications for a typical startup worker hoping for an eventual equity payday. Given that you yourself mention the

Thanks for the response, that’s useful to know. It’s honestly amazing (to me) that Fil-C works at all, and I’m sure the performance will continue to improve.
