Go-the-language does not have a preemptive scheduler, just guarantees about how various means of synchronization interact. In fact, Go-the-implementation is only partially preemptive, I believe: in addition to calls into the runtime, callin

Finally, something that purports to have Go-style concurrency that actually provides the equivalent of select{}! Lots of things just provide chans, which are fancy thread-safe queues and are fairly easy to implement. Getting select{} right

If farmers were billionaires and had a cartel to artificially manipulate prices (and it were widely known, just in case they already do that), I imagine we'd hear similar complaints.

"race" is just how humanity likes to self-segregate. "language" is a tool used to communicate, and it would be wonderful if any two arbitrary people could successfully communicate.

I literally found out about https://github.com/constabulary/gb yesterday, and was already planning on posting to HN this morning! The tools are very similar in philosophy, though certainly not identical in behavior.

News groups bribe European law-makers, European law-makers put the thumb screws to Google, Google covers the cost of the bribes originally made by the news groups to loosen the screws. It's a pretty solid business model on the news gro

> You could just as well argue that laying out object class hierarchies and using inheritance is "[solving problems] that have nothing to do with what you’re actually trying to achieve." Definitely, 100%.

What? I'm saying that the tooling that helps manage import paths in the way you want is not part of Go-the-language. The language restriction against unused imports certainly is.

It's not part of Go-the-language. It's part of the distribution of the most popular (ok, only) implementation of that language.

In general, "search" or "optimization" is what we call machine learning that we've gotten pretty good at.

That's actually pretty fair. All the big players more or less have a handle on how to do Google-style search. The big differentiator is the data backing that search algorithm. The primary (not only) reason Google keeps its search algor

Not a lawyer, but is "could" the threshold here? Because Google "could" behave badly, but isn't yet (presumably, or it "could" would not be the word used), it gets punished? My next startup could be so suc
