Rob Pike doesn't disclose that he has color blindness when he says he doesn't see the value in syntax highlighting. Classy.

I believe that's called a unity build. Really nice speedup.

Your news sources have woefully misinformed you. Trump's argument is that it's not enough to be born here, you have to also be a charge of the country:

"Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

Note the "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof". Trump's argument is that people born in America to tourist parents here for a few weeks (for example) aren't subject to the jurisdiction of America. It's a valid argument to make, even if you come down on a different side. Even the author of the 14th amendment said that was the point of that clause. Even in logical terms it makes sense: You can't just let anyone in to give birth and then collect benefits; it's unsustainable.

However, this case wasn't about citizenship. It was about the broader issue of lower courts issuing restraining orders outside their jurisdictions. It's a recipe for chaos. There's a reason why there are multiple jurisdictions, and courts are limited to their jurisdictions. What happens when two lower courts issue conflicting nationwide orders? The only court in the US that has jurisdiction over the entire country is the Supreme Court. This was a losing battle.

There's a right way and a wrong way to go about addressing problems. Court cases are sometimes more about the core issues involved than the concrete circumstances. Sure, birthright citizenship was the reason for the suit, but the core issue was judicial overreach. Don't get mad because the way your side was "winning" was by cheating, and they were stopped. Try having an actual good argument, and doing things the right way by arguing the actual case in a court.

>No new wars

>Good support for Ukraine

You're looking through a particular narrow lens.

Ugh, please don't capitalize black. That's the kind of stuff Berliner was talking about.

Um, no. In general, if you tell someone to stop messaging you, they get to send one more message to react to that and tie up the conversation. "OK. You still haven't addressed points A, B, and C, so I still disagree. Let's wrap it up here then." That's perfectly reasonable and polite.

>How passionate do you need your accountant to be?

Oof. Yes.

>Do you read the docs of every basic feature you use?

Yes? You don't?

I feel sorry for individuals that struggle because of this, but collectively, the schadenfreude is delicious. You get what you vote for.

go.mod lists minimum versions. Minimum Version Selection may increase the versions used as required by other packages in the build. go.mod isn't a lock file.

>Reversing a string is a useless operation in the real world

I'm not sure why you focused on this one example, which was just meant to indicate the nature of the issue, not cite a broad concrete problem. There are plenty of situations where you'd want to operate on graphemes, not code points, like deleting the previous grapheme in a text editor. It would certainly help programmers write correct code if the two were the same.

>doing away with combining marks and encoding everything as precomposed would be impossible because you cannot have a definitive list of every single combination of letters and diacritics that may mean something to someone

It seems to me it would be trivial to enumerate these combinations, and assign code points to them. For example, the Germanic umlaut is only used with vowels, so that's at most 5 code points.

>Why would your data structure make that easy to do?

Reversing a string merely indicates the problem. There are many cases for operating on graphemes instead of code points. For example, deleting the previous grapheme in a text editor when pressing backspace/delete. I think most programmers assume they're dealing with graphemes when they're actually dealing with code points. See, for example, the rune type in Go.
