Since "N nines" for positive integers N denotes an uptime of 1 – 10^(–N), I think it's fair to analytically continue that formula, and say that 9% availability corresponds to 0.041…

This is true as stated. However, it is important context that the time bomb was originally introduced in Trump's signature Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in his first term. So, yes, Trump's…

> As for the detractors, from the first generics proposal this was called out as a "not now", not never. What? The post quotes the Go FAQ as saying, "we do not anticipate that Go w…

The converse and inverse are logically equivalent by contraposition, so it doesn't really matter which one you use. If you think through it, you can see that "if you're the product…

I might guess that GP is referring not to interface ergonomics (for which a struct is a perfectly satisfactory solution, as you describe), but to implementation efficiency. A point…

When we're talking scales like 10^-23, "one" and "one sixth" are comparable enough to warrant an "approximately".

This is what I was thinking, too. Without some kind of linearity, `connect` et al. don't give the claimed guarantees if you can just reuse the old socket handle. Especially if it's…

It can mean either. "Suspicious behavior" doesn't mean that the behavior thinks that you've done something wrong. "She's suspicious" can mean either that I suspect her intentions o…

This is effectively what happened with the BotGhost vulnerability a few months back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44359619

Red/green has no inherent semantics. It has the semantics that you assign it. If you choose to assign it meaning that disenfranchises 8% of men using your system, that's your choic…

Maybe we could put a wind turbine on the boat, generate electrical power, and use that to power an onboard motor!

Rob Pike retired from Google in 2021.

Ng, Le, Li, Lu, Wu, Xu, Xi, Fu… come to mind immediately for last names. For first names… Jo, Ty, Al, maybe?

You may wish to search for "readability at Google". Here is one article: https://www.moderndescartes.com/essays/readability/ (I have not read this article closely, but it is about …

> what about situations where you might have two variables closely related that need to be locked as a pair whenever accessed. This fits quite naturally in Rust. You can let your m…

Umm, actually, it's specifically a coproduct of functional programming. ;-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coproduct

I have usually heard it called "A–AB–B migrations". As in, you support version A, then you support both version A and version B, then you support just version B. The rest of the se…

College athlete Lia Smith died by suicide last week after years of targeted harassment and attacks from the people we're talking about. At some point, when the institutions of powe…

Sure. If T is a zero sized type, then chan T should just be an atomic int. I am not sure how much this improves code readability in practice—I see chan struct{} frequently, but I c…

Thanks for explaining!

The term is correct. Grammatically, we would say, "I love vacuous truths", or, "I love vacuously true statements". (To my ear the second version sounds very slightly more appropria…
