- I really hate this type of blog. It pollutes the world with this attitude of “I messed up, how I have to frame the problem in a way, and write a blog that lets my ego stay intact”, which results in blogs like this showing in decision making process as “why you should not use go”. And mostly people never look past the title.
The fact is go is portable, it provides the ability to cross compile out of the box and reasonably executed on other platforms it supports. But in this case, a decision that had little to do with go, the desire to use c code, a non go project, with their go project made things harder.
These are not “just a set of constraints you only notice once you trip over them”, this is trivializing the mistake.
Entire blog can be simplified to the following.
We were ignorant, and then had to do a bunch of work because we were ignorant. It’s a common story in software. I don’t expect everybody to get it right the first time. But what we don’t need is sensational titled blogs full of fluff to try to reason readers out of concluding the obvious. Somebody in charge made decisions uninformed and as a result the project became more complicated and probably took longer.
- They might try. But nobody is going to pay for a sub par experience.
Some executives will get a big bonus for pushing this out, and later another for reverting back.
I won’t buy a car that does not have CarPlay. And I know many who are the same. My phone is a centerpiece of my life (gahh I hate saying that), my car however is not.
- > AI will be the worst thing to happen to society in a very long time.
Maybe. Keep going back and forth.
On one hand I might loose my job. On then other hand everybody might loose their job.
Ai is tricky. If we have a singularity event maybe one or two combines might take all the jobs overnight. Fine. But economies are weird. Once those jobs are automated and nobody has a job we probably won’t even need the jobs that were replaced.
Like today. We have jobs because some other thing came along and “made something easy”. Think about how many jobs we have simply because we as humans write bad software. If this goes away it’s not even about automation taking jobs, it’s about simply not needing huge swaths of jobs at all.
So I think about this and ponder. I’d all Job are basically worthless, then the “rich” people like to complain about, won’t be rich. They won’t have anything either. Simply put, nobody will have any money to buy things and thus the “rich” won’t have anybody to buy things to keep them rich.
So I think more. It’s really not an advantage for the rich and powerful to basically destroy what makes them rich.
For people to be rich they have to have a bunch of people to extract small amounts of money from. A starving and angry population is not going to be a fun place to live for anybody.
- Finally. It’s not a cut and dry as one side or the other. People have lost their minds. It’s case by case for every product and every consumer.
Some companies might chose to loose the margin (few but still passable ). Some might try to pass some or all to the sale price (which creates all sorts another dynamics) and finally the customer does not have to buy that product. There are many note breakdowns that all adjust who pays and when they pay.
- The buyer might pay more. If the importer (which is often a foreign institution) tries to pass the cost along to the customer. And the customer looks at the product group and decides to buy the higher priced item. But on average the tariff is doing what it was meant to do.
Promote the consumption products provided by a different vendor. Namely ones that tariffs don’t apply to.
It’s not a hard concept to understand, and talking about who pays is a distraction. Namely because it will be case by case involving 3 or more parties who won’t all chose the same choices they have every time.
- First off. Assuming somebody with autism has learning disabilities is incredibly tone death to those who have autism. My kid happens to be 2E special, and has not been diagnosed with any learning disabilities.
Second. I quoted the lyrics of a song that I have probably heard over 5000 times now.
Next you are going to tell me that SCP-294 is not a drink dispenser?
- I think people think masking is just for those who have Autism. I think at some level all people mask. Most people behave differently outside of work or in public places when they are alone or with close friends.
I think with Autism the process of masking is just harder, and the ability to read social queues takes extreme focus to understand the general emotional state of others around them.
- Yah. I mean, magically they are all CEOs now, kinda crazy, right at the same time minimum wage went up. The lord works in strange ways.
Really no. All you have to look at is the number of total jobs and now unfilled jobs. We don’t need to know about the people and them magically becoming CEOs.
- Well then. Seems like you would be a fool to not allow personal shoppers then.
The point is the web is changing, and people use a different type of browser now. Ans that browser happens to be LLMs.
Anybody complaining about the new browser has just not got it yet, or has and is trying to keep things the old way because they don’t know how or won’t change with the times. We have seen it before, Kodak, blockbuster, whatever.
Grow up cloud flare, some is your business models don’t make sense any more.
- No. I refuse to play your silly game that everything reduces race based of twisted reasons. It’s nonsensical reasoning that nobody with a line of reason should ever have to put up with.
Beyond that you are also horridly wrong. Age is not the only exclusion today.
1. Age is one. 2. Being not disqualified: not having certain felony conviction, or being judged mentally incompetent to vote (depends on state) 3. Residency in the state you are voting 4. Being a citizen.
While 18 year olds can make informed decisions they also are super capable to manipulate into making super bad decisions. Queue student loan crisis. But beyond that making school going age people capable of voting will reduce our ability to educate further by making schools and places of leaning battle grounds for political beliefs, which regardless is the leaning that wins will only result in a worse education.
- > But having it at 25 or 30 based on development smacks of disenfranchisement and eg jim crow literacy laws.
Nobody said they would have a test based system. Fairly sure we uniformly say brains are not fully developed until 24. So your Jim Crow comment is unfounded, at best as a misunderstanding or at worst an attempt to throw race into a conversation to try and strengthen your position with past atrocities void logic.
- If you are going to use the inherit argumenT, then why not 14 or 9?
I keep hearing that the human adult brain is still growing and changing until they are 24. It almost makes more sense to raise the age.
Most 18 year olds have not held a job, ran a hose hold, had a kid, managed other people, lives on their own, bought a house, or even own a car. But yes for the sake of “the will inherit” we should allow people with a childlike understanding of the world to sway votes of emotion void of logic.
There is a case of lowering the max age. As they could potentially sway votes for only ultra short term reasons.
- Maybe they can stop working because of cultural allowance.
Who knows how many people should retire at 30 if the social norms allowed it.
Think about it this way. If a 60 year old says “I’m retiring” most responses will be “aw good for you, you earned it”. But if a 23 year old says “I am retiring” I guarantee there will be many more negative responses and questions.
- No clue. I use it for hours on end. Longest run cost me $30 in tokens. I think it was 4 hours of back and forth.
Here is an example of chat gpt, followed by mostly Claude that finally solved a backlight issue with my laptop.
- Oh. The cry of due process.
Do you even know what the process is? Or even have a clue how many people deported had a process but it resulted in an outcome they and maybe you did not like?
I don’t have time to investigate everybody, but of the sampling I did all had orders active to be deported.
The part most of you are missing is there was a process. And failure to comply is what results in people showing up at your house and putting you on a plane.
This is no different than if I murder somebody and and escape after the trail before going to jail. 10 years later I am at a coffee shop. Maybe I have a good job a wife a new born and I have been a functional member of society. You better bet that I’ll be arrested and the Jane to go to jail once somebody finds out.
Just like the Disney movie, no touchy the Gemini.
