>about to get very ugly That's all relative. There are legitimate reasons to trade a bit of complexity for a bit of speed. Go is not special in this regard.

I've been looking for something like this in Go (yes, yes, I know... lack of generics...). Does such a thing exist?

This is absurd. It's called duty and service because it falls under the category (and I'm being technical here) of a public service for which there are legally-assigned duties (e.g.: assistance to endangered persons).

This is true in principle, but the parent poster's point is that canine units are intentionally abused to legally justify searches that are otherwise unjustified.

>copaganda Your points may be valid (immaterial to my comment), but you're not doing yourself any favors by using such words. It's a red flag for "ideologically-driven zealot".

>Or they are exceedingly cynical about the arbiters and paranoid about abuses - not a bad tradition when defending rights. I agree, but that's a matter of opinion. What's factual is that the parent post builds an argument on a

I did not expect this thread to teach me anything, and yet here we are. Why is this the case? Do most birds of prey not have particularly virile screeches or what?

I don't have any useful answers, but you could explore how tech workers have unionized in other countries and what the results have been. In France for example, tech workers are organized under so-called "Conventions Collectives&

You realize _some_ science put a man on the moon, right? Clearly some of it is "more correct".

I'm a bit puzzled by your comment. Are you suggesting that we should have continued to over-prescribe?

I had the pleasure of taking to a French high-school professor who worked there for 10 years. He basically said what you said.

Your point may be obvious to you, but it's indecipherable to others. Could you elaborate?

I want to get started with packet radio. I don't know anything about it. Where do I start?

>I'm afraid in this case the antidote was worse than the disease. You're confusing "harmful" and "visible".

I think the pain-point being designated by the OP is that the cure is worse than the disease: Problem = tight coupling Solution = x, where x => {indirection, implicit_coupling} I'm not sure I agree the final judgement c

The comments here are far less insightful than I've come to expect from HN. It seems like this article has touched a (several?) nerve. Can we just get the following out of the way? 1. Sometimes it's good/necessary to offer h
