And then you face Go's usual awkward issues with having a lack of generics which becomes important when, say, traversing a tree.

Definitely not. It's the regulation of capitalism that is driving this. This is why the countries where capitalism is most heavily regulated (nordic countries, some european countries) are cited throughout the article. Capitalism on it

Oof trust me from experience you do _not_ want to write a compiler or parser or anything like that in Go. The string support is so limited -- for example you have to implement basic things like reverse string from scratch instead of them (a

Right but ironically, the fact that it is a minefield is likely what drove this teacher to make that discovery. Imagine if it was just a random scattering of students living in such apartments (but same number of people). It may have never

1. When a company of Robolox's size is still in single-region mode by the time they've gone public, that is quite a red flag. As you and others have mentioned, game servers have some unique requirements not shared by traditional w

This was in reply to OP who said deploying to a new region is insanely complicated. In general it is not. For Roblox, if they are manually doing stuff in EC2, it could be quite complicated.

A lot of this can also be mitigated by going all in on API gateway + Lambda, like we have at Arist. We only need to worry about DB scaling and a few considerations with S3 (that are themselves mitigated by using CloudFront).

Most startups I've worked at literally have a script to deploy their whole setup to a new region when desired. Then you just need latency-based routing running on top of it to ensure people are processed in the closest region to them.

Too bad they exploit young game developers by taking a 75.5% cut of their earnings. Big yikes of a red flag for me. https://www.nme.com/news/gaming-news/roblox-is-allegedly-exp...

No. Imagine if all traffic lights were 3D-printed, and that entire infrastructure depended, as an active dependency each time a new traffic light is printed, on some random guy's 3D model that he decided to post on his personal blog ye

In fact, this action could set a precedent that allows RIAA/MPAA/etc to sue GitHub because it demonstrates they curate and editorialize everyone's code, effectively.

Curious where you all are going where you aren't plugged in all the time anyway? I don't think I've been away from a charger being within 5 feet of me for 2+ years.

It's a shame they don't open source it. It's funny too, being AWS they really don't have to worry about AWS running a cheaper service, so at that point why not open source it.

It cuts both ways though. Without the internet I know for one I would definitely be a lot more isolated and have fewer social connections.

OP's economic argument is pretty sound. 40-50 years ago you could buy a new house, get a solid blue collar job with a pension, and watch your house 5x in value over the next 50 years. Makes it very, very easy to settle down with someon

First two years in the industry are literally just a stepping stone to greater things. I usually give my mentees the advice that they might as well try out some companies despite red flags because this is the time where you figure out what

PopOS is nice, but I still find that nothing beats Budgie as far as Ubuntu distros go. Just way cleaner UI than anything else out there.

No, but an avalanche in a flat area is a lot less likely than, say, "what if the coolant runs out" and it seems they were missing some basic handling of these sorts of scenarios while still waxing poetic about things like avalanch

Yes, but focusing on the astronomically low probability scenarios while failing to discuss much higher probability scenarios is a bad look.

Nor does it give NPM permission to tamper with his code and pretend it was he who published it. I firmly believe what they did is in violation of the underlying open source license, and if it isn't, the major licenses should be updated

Right, but my point is this code, in and of itself, really isn't malicious. It's only malicious in the context of "version XYZ used to do X, now it does Y". If you make versions indelible, you eliminate the potential for
