FOR THE RECORD,

Financial crashes are not "black swan" events. I've never seen a black swan in my life, but I've seen two or three financial crashes. As far as I can tell, Taleb is just a memer.

His degeneration of late is hopefully cluing people in, though the compulsion to substitute memes for thought will continue. Hey, maybe that's what IQ is, a person's likeliness to think instead of resorting to memes? Maybe that's why Taleb hates it?

What does QE have to do with anything? Also, if you think extending cheap financing to businesses during a financial collapse is wasteful you're a fool.

Pretty strange to be bitching about monetary policy then in the same breath praise pseudo-weaponized Keyensianism that doesn't even yield anything useful. Who do you work for, friend?

Shameful FUD

Don't people just write helper functions to deal with the error checking spam? It's five lines at the top of the file...

Anyway, I will miss our GOPATH overlords. I have enough decisions to make, I'm fine with the language making some for me.

It's a lot of trouble to go through to get people to forget you called some Thai firefighter a pedo on Twitter...

Eh, it's a very limited study that basically says two sets of subjective effects are similar. Useless, maybe, but not pseudo.

Will someone please update this with experiences with Ryzen?

I think the question is, what happens when we move away from this usefulness in physics? I didn't follow the paper, but some way of backdooring quantum uncertainty into classical physics might be useful, too

Very carefully.

Another week, another example of people doing something dumb on the basis of medical superstition...

Forget that. There's example code in the standard library documentation that golint will flag. Seriously. And the devs don't give a fig, even though the "proper" way forces you to put some throwaway variable outside the if statement scope.

Golint literally suggests scope pollution. It deserves to be replaced.

The author is obviously alluding to democracy.

Suicide is the purest expression of the precautionary principle. Think about it.

Seriously, oxygen is a known carcinogen, responsible for the massive generation of free radicals in the body. Realize: look at how oxygen burns wood, it can even eat steel! And you're sucking this extremely hazardous and potent oxidizer into your body with every breath.

Finding a good doctor is harder than finding a good mechanic these days...
