yomism

I think the main problem is that we have our heads contaminated by too much "news". We live in constant fear, even when statistically we are less violent than ever.

For instance, terrorism works when its actions are published for the more people to see as possible. Statistically you have more probabilities of chocking to death on your breakfast or slipping in the shower than dying from a terrorist action in Europe/US.

Rational thought is on the backseat... So hence the pessimism and thoughts that something bad is comming.

Please take a look at this: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2013/apr/12/news-is-bad-ro...

It's interesting to see how the main philosophy behind Apple products is to prevent this kind of tinkering and that they are also used by a lot of hackers (tinkerers).

I know the answer is "they just work" but it somewhat troubles me. I'm also a pragmatic but then I think about cases like the Bitkeeper debacle and Linus Torvalds vs Richard Stallman positions then. And who was right in the end and how this concluded with the birth of Git.

Ok, it's exactly not the same scenario (HW vs a SW product) but maybe someday we will see a similar conclusion...

Implying Hackernews us not a bubble... Ok

I have used it since 2 years ago or so to implement JSON REST APIs and some small admin pages for app backends. I compare with Python which I have also used for this.

Cons:

- More verbose than Python (returning errors and static typing make it not as succint as Python)

Pros:

- Static typing without being too ceremonius (compared to Python it's nice to have some errors catch by the type compiler that would popup in runtime. Refactoring also is nicer with a static typing safenet).

- Easy deployment (rsync the binary to the server and of you go, no more Pip and dynamic libraries bullshit)

- Low memory usage (nice to have the production backend running and see that it uses 15MB of mem where in Python it would be like 10 times more and with worse concurrence)

- Performance (somewhat minor plus for me because the bottleneck is almost always on the database)

The same as before BUT without the weight that UK had in the decisions of the EU (and that nice veto power it had).

Android I don't think so... There are tons of Java code in the Android ecosystem and their developers hate anything that comes from Apple.

So it will end as iOS only.

Sincerely, what you say sounds great from a bussiness perspective but maybe not from a lifestyle perspective (putting myself in Tarn & Zach's shoes).

Maybe something like that would be the kind of thing that would transform a work of passion into a boring bussiness full of obligations (to users, press, investors, Steam and whatnot). Worse even, after reading interviews with the Adams brothers I guess following a road like that maybe would even burn them after some years and end game development.

It's the difference of doing something for the money that can be extracted from it in contrast with doing something for passion and the joy of doing it. In some cases (or maybe for some personalities) these overlap, but in other cases they don't and it's ok, every person is different.

For rich people at least...

The Motorola X Style/Pure does this.

The curious thing is that he chairs the IETF HTTP Working Group and is a member of the W3C TAG.

Seeing this and how that blog loads make me afraid of the future of the web.

An clicking that link takes you to a talk about MongoDB & MEAN stack... the irony is strong in this one.

I too had a production deploy using Docker and but droped it because of changes like this and some instability.

Started using Ansible (ok, maybe comparing oranges to apples here) and its better for my use case.

So use a TURN server.

TL;DR: Does the same as STUN but also is able to relay video & audio for hosts where STUN fails.

I'm using it in a Android app of mine for video conference and works really good. You can download something like coturn and drop it in a 5$ digitalocean and run with it.

It works for me.

The only way that it affects you it's because Go programs can be compiled to a static binary. So from the final user perspective you just download it and put the executable in your path.

Contrast with Python, Node, Ruby... apps where you have to install via Pip, NPM, Gems.

But the real answer it's that Go is in the top of the hype curve right now (I say this as a Go fan myself).

Putting a single word inside double quotes makes it mandatory .

At least that's what I heard somewhere back then when they broke the + operator.

So 90% of the comments you are reading here are crap...

For me the links shows the japanese version.

Reading this post reminds of when I tried to learn Scala and ran away when I saw the heap of complexity it was.

It seems like they tried to put all features they could in there without thinking about the orthogonality of the result.

Languages that need all that restraint to be used right maybe are ok for some very clever people, problem is all the rest of us that can't juggle all that in out heads.

Great post!

If you liked this kind of descent to the low-level realm, the post author (Julia Evans) did a great presentation on Pycon 2015:

Sometimes when shit hits the fan it's nice to know what is going on behind all those layers of abstraction.

And that's capitalism for you, kids.

Quoting: "I do not rely on the state to care for my son."

Not being from the USA and seeign the place this human being is in, it hurt me reading that justification.

Goddamm, that is what state is for! You have been fed all that capitalist bullshit for so long that don't see that another way of living is possible?

Are people waiting for private companies to help them in moments of need? That's what a welfare state is for. Just look at Europe, for all the jokes about french-strikes, taxes, corruption and whatelse we are not as fucked as this.

Every time I see a Sun-tzu quote my cringe-o-meter explodes...

It's open source, it they loose interest in it anybody can pick up the code and continue supporting it.

I was going to apologize for using "dickish" in my answer before but seeing this you fit the definition perfectly ;-P

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dickish

I have read the horror stories thanks to ryanlol's posts but next time please post a link if you don't want to waste time re-explaining. Let's use the HTML powers!

Tribal is the right word here with all the blind faith in medicine men and cargo cultism.

It's dickish saying that without explanation. Like this it sounds like baseless smearing.

If he argumented the reasons before he could had just put a link. Sincerely, it's too much to ask?

My plan is to keep saying this on Starfighter threads, just in case there are people who have missed it. Take my advice or leave it: Please don't use Starfighter. If you are using it now, make immediate plans to switch. If you have friends who have used Starfighter, tell them to switch.

Feel how dickish this sounds without giving any reason whatsoever?

Please explain why.

Well, you and me for starters. And then add almost all of the people that have enough money in their pockets and are not slaved/working 3 different jobs to put food on their table.

We, everyone of us reading this, know the reality, if not just look around and see that lady cleaning floors or that guy in the fast food joint working their asses off for a menial pay.

You could say they are a step above slavery, but hey, no problem, you and me have good jobs and money enough so we can buy anything we want to eat and a shiny gadgets every year.

Ignoring this reality about slaves in those countries and almost slaves in our land is easy, but don't forget that this is a conscious decision.

And we happily buy their products absorbing their marketing message: "you are a creative and nice person that does good for the world (using our products, that is)".

And when faced with the reality that Apple is a money making machine and is only worried about doing a bad thing if it dirties its public image detracting from their marketing message our cognitive dissonance starts screeching.

So we, buyers of their products, are good people because they say their products are for good people, right?

Look at the thread and find the comments that say "they will remove the contractors, apologize and so they will return to being a good company, they are the best!".

Samsung sure is worst in their practices but at least they don't coat their public image with a hippy-happy-creative good natured coat. They are a ruthless asian electronics conglomerate behaving as such.

Watch what you say about regulating... if you look closely we are in a community that values unleashed capitalism (that is, money) above almost anything.

That anything being our image as good people.

Well, it's the same when there's a terrorist attack that kills 30 people but wait... the victims don't share our skin tone and also it is in country which name we'll forget in a week.

If it doesn't affect us directly or our money, we don't give a crap... except for keeping a nice social facade sharing the outrage as you said.

In a historic/anthropologic way maybe a big part of human progress is based on dehumanizing people and exploting them or the resources they have. Seems like as a society all is well if it affects "them" and not "us".
