Language design and lib design are different things than building, maintaining, and shipping a game involving hundreds of programmers. To use Boost is somewhat of an internal joke within the game industry. You don't need to use index

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. That standard for loops are less readable just doesn't make any sense to me. Neither do the preference of exceptions which is pretty much the first things most experienced peopl

One simple thing is for sure, if inequality continues to rise, or even just the perception of it, social unrest will follow. At some point, if you want a peaceful and free society, the low-income worker and up needs to feel that they can

Yeah, it does indeed. But compared to what? Reviewing high density code can surely hide bugs as well when reviewing? Either way, it's also easier to debug low density code so there are more things to consider.

I think Go is pretty well known for being easy to read so I'm not sure what exactly you find hard to read. Duplicated code is not inherently unreadable. Code shouldn't be abstracted away and be made "reusable" before it&

You will go to great lengths to give a reactionary "it's actually not that bad" or "this is actually good!" to every suggestion that the status quo may not be that good for a lot of people, won't you? On a broa

There is nothing natural nor reasonable about absentee ownership. It has always been upheld by force. By kings, feudal lords etc. For other cultures, like for example native americans, the entire concept was completely foreign.

How do you imagine absentee landlords would be able to collect rent without force? Or an even more extreme example, how would the property right of the only water source in town be upheld without force? These things are far from natural, pr

From a EU perspective, US Conservatives are pretty extreme though (not to even mention the religious variation). There seem to be some idea here on HN that racism/white-supremacy bullshit is somehow comparable with an oppressed scienti

Not really. What surprises me however is this: We have above mentioned demographics. We have controversial topics that seemingly panders to this particular demographic's confirmation bias. We have an academic pseudo-intellectual writin

He has certainly not been silenced in any way shape or form. Him closing his blog is just a way to create outrage, it has no effect in whether the NYT article will be published with his name or not.
