This is the type of prank you’d see some idiot do to try and get followers on TikTok, not something a terrorist would bother with.

If you’re a terrorist, I’m pretty sure you can think of dramatically more consequential things to do than cause a handful of planes to potentially divert. That’s a wildly pointless prank for something that will invariably wind up with you b

Yes, there is always going to be someone somewhere that sees some sort of issue. My point wasn’t that nobody anywhere has ever experienced a negative consequence, but that at scale, it is overwhelmingly safe and so it isn’t really worth adv

It’s a flavorless powder you mix into a drink. It unfortunately doesn’t really dissolve, so it can be a little grainy if taken with water but it’s mostly flavorless so outside of that you wouldn’t notice it. 5g/day is the general recom

There is a lot of research that suggests otherwise might be true for humans.

People’s opinions only matter so far as they have to care about elections. Not having to worry about those sorts of nuisances is entirely the plan and they are frighteningly near succeeding at it.

I genuinely hope you’re right.

Or Trump himself would simply refuse to step down, and have the might of the U.S. military brass behind him. If you can’t tell, I am not hopeful.

I think we all need to be honest with ourselves about the fact that they are very clearly not intending to ever allow the shoe to be on the other foot. The upcoming midterms are very plausibly the last free and fair elections we will ever h

VTI is float-adjusted so it will not treat SpaceX as if it has a trillion-dollar valuation. It will only consider the publicly tradable portion.

Setting aside for a moment whether or not this specific legislation is a good implementation of the idea, I cannot understand how people don’t comprehend that this only happens because there is currently no obligation to release their ser

VTI won’t really be affected by this. It’s based on the total market and not artificially limited to a small number of large companies. Plus it’s free-float adjusted so only the publicly-tradable portion of SpaceX is considered when weighti

by stouset 5mo ago
You can sidestep this entirely with a total-market fund like VTSAX/VTI, which hold the entire market and should be more resistant to being gamed. They’re free-float adjusted so entities like SpaceX are valued only by what’s available o

That is almost assuredly because nobody wants to live there. Now try this for locations that people actually want to live in.

I think it’s pretty clear this post was a response to the clear dogma within the community. > But we need help from everyone. Remember that none of the decisions in Go are infallible; they’re just our best attempts at the time we made th

Ah the good old “just be a perfect programmer and you won’t run into any issues” argument. Haven’t heard that one in awhile.

So this would be in line, then, with all of the other features they’ve publicly said aren’t coming and aren’t necessary but then do anyway after retconning their original stance?

Nil exists in C and is widely considered to be a massive mistake in the language. An understandable one at the time, but a mistake nonetheless. Thus “go borrowed it from C, therefore it can’t have been a mistake” is a pretty lame take. Th

Those are fine the way they are. I don’t want the language getting more complicated. Rob Pike has said they’ll never happen. Suggestions like this are extremely against the Go way of doing things. Actually the verbosity is a good thing. It’

> Why is iota a massive kneecap to the language? It is semantically identical to enum in C and Typescript. So is nil. Care to make the same argument?
235.
by stouset 5mo ago
We care that time and time again, when anyone ever brings up a criticism of the language, they’re told that everything is just fine and it’s not a problem and we just don’t get the Go Philosophy. There’s not a problem, stop trying to make G

No, you’re clearly wrong; golang was always going to add support for generic functions. Everyone also wanted and accepted the need for generics. It was always something they wanted to add to the language. Rob Pike never said that that kind

I am certain that with even two minutes of thought you can understand why this makes zero sense.

You’re hinting at another huge part of the issue. There are no economies of scale to be had here. If there are only a handful of plausible economically-profitable routes, all of the expenditures on R&D, testing, certification, and produ

Nobody here disagrees. What should be the case is that sites are broadly required to flag what kind of content they serve so parents can choose to exercise their own level of desired control.

That’s almost definitionally what a merge is . A merge conflict means that some automated tool couldn’t figure it out. But all a merge is is a commit with two parents and an accompanying diff that shows the process of combining them. A mer
