Nah at least in chess all the grandmasters lean heavily on the chess engines, including studying top games between the best AI

Acting responsibly as a researcher who has discovered a vulnerability requires delicately balancing a question of two greater evils. Will more people get hurt overall if we announc…

Doesn't phase 0 exclude the ability to transfer money? The whole point of a "currency"???

The first time I ever heard the Numa Numa song was when I was 10 and had the flu. I was puking in the hallway and had intense nausea for hours. My classmates kept playing the song …

I'm pretty sure part of the job of a bodyguard is to ensure the well being of their client. If they ask for something that improves safety but makes the client miserable, they are …

Those are the cases where the parallel construction was caught, right? What about all the cases where parallel construction was used and successfully kept secret?

Maybe I'm missing something but Go _discourages_ nested conditionals. There are even static analysis tools in the idiomic toolkit which tell you when your conditionals can be simpl…

Humans make mistakes. People code review after exhausting days or late at night. Or sometimes they skim more than they intended to. You want to make problems in the code obvious ev…

Have you used a lot of go? I'm a big fan of rust and definitely like rust devs and the rust community, but I find that people haven't used go enough to "get" it don't really unders…

This is not my experience at all. We've spent the past few years building a multi-hundred thousand line of code distributed system in go and have found that sticking to idiomatic g…

What is with all of the condescension that other developers have towards Go developers? Go has a set of highly desirable features that are very practical for building large team pr…

That's really not it. The more complex a language is, the more ways there are to approach a problem. The more things to have to learn and adapt to when reading code another enginee…

Loops in go are much less flexible than loops in C, you'd never see code like that in go.

The way many people read code, it's much easier to overlook three characters than it is to overlook three lines with indentation.

That's really strange to me because I find go to be very readable. There are so few approaches to each of the basic programming building blocks in go that once you have read a mode…

I find other people's go code is generally much more readable than other people's code in most other languages. Go's simplicity and heavy idiomatic culture means all the code more …

I'm honestly of the opinion that this shouldn't be allowed either. Accept that you need to name the variable 'fooErr' and just ban all shadowing

> Parallel construction happens way less frequently than people think it does This seems like a rather vague claim

Fees are not a significant part of a libraries revenue

Nah sometimes you need to resize manually read a webpage. Gotta keep usability at least a little bit. Letterboxing I think is a good compromise

Before patents, businesses depended fully on trade secret, meaning developments would be made and lost over and over, and progress on a particular technology would be a lot slower …

Trigger oriented, usually related to existential feelings of emptiness. Asking the question "does my existence have meaning" for a long time would spike my pulse to 150+ and cause …

Nah I'd flip the complete opposite direction. Responsible use of psychedelics has many strong upsides, and I think the outright ban has done a lot of net harm to society. At the ve…

Yeah I have several permanent overhangs from my experiences with psychedelics as well. At one point I did 500+ug of LSD in a single trip and I am still working through PTSD from so…

Do we have data?
