On the other hand, many of my hot takes over the years have been celebrated , but it seems to happen when they are long and dense (and not personal attacks). Perhaps it is because fewer people read/flag them. Perhaps it is because thi

Well this is another very tricky one, I’ll give you that. So many N-order effects. I still disagree strongly with your characterization of “substance” in this context though. E.g. when another user sent this (ad-hominem) challenge: > Why

The enormous pressure inside stars is what sustains the reaction. Neutrons coming off a fusion reaction, even if moderated, can’t really “squeeze together” other particles in any sense. Also, per unit volume, the sun produces about as much

This is “inspired in part” by the same (excellent and a little scary) talk. Which makes you think, when would something like this have appeared if the talk had never happened?

It was a bit tongue-in-cheek, and note the word “attempts”. This one is much too big/high profile to delete, thankfully. The “this is just how to do science” defense is cute, but a lot people died and will die over it, and in general t

Same with anyone who was saying “it’s airborne” or “the case fatality rate is inflated” or “it could have leaked from that lab”. And now, behold as the intellectual class attempts to delete these mistakes from our collective memory.

If your opinion is as simple as “Go will be more better than Rust”, or the opposite, it is far too simple to be correct. Rust is unbeatable for services you want to deploy, stabilize, and forget about forever. Go is pretty darn good for bui
