Lol, yes, "distributed" means blockchain.

Someone should cancel Torvalds for building git on a blockchain. Clearly a scam!

...

So every single early computer innovation then?

Interesting take.

Feels cleaner to me, and while I want to argue about the opinionated payload bit, I suppose that's something that should be clearly defined in the contract anyway.

Maybe I've been abusing status codes too...

People are not meant to alone. If the book is advising to do things alone, I advise not reading the book

> psychology for example

while I'm pretty despondent with the replication crisis in psychology, medicine isn't much better.

but to dismiss it outright is pretty ignorant. curious how you explain the state of America if your assertion is psychology and mental health are "relatively useless" fields

I had the weirdest reaction to that last sentence.

As an engineer, the first thing that went through my head was "lots of photos of their faces available, easy filter. My face specifically: hard filter"

But as a person it was "ok wow, f_ck you too then?"

I did not know the DC-10 had bit of dodgy record and oh hey, it's McDonnell Douglas. Again! What a coinky dink

I've never had an issue with data race conditions in go. Can I ask what you did to lose faith?

The answer, for me, is always channels. What you put around the channels is the challenging part.

Channels are built to pass information between goroutines. If you are doing this via any other signaling, just don't. You can loop over channels for long running sequential reads, you can test them to see if they're ready to read or ready to write.

Honorable mention to context as well, extremely useful structure.

This opinion is just gross. Always do your required reading kids.

- nobody uses semi colons, that's a huge red flag because the tooling will literally remove these symbols from your code, did you even run any go code? clearly not

- goroutines are not threads and galloping past that obvious chasm is also telling: you're not really sure what these magical things are but, somehow, you know they're bad. this is a flawed line of reasoning that was never going to convince me

- because you don't know how goroutines and the userspace scheduler work, you skip over all the benefits they provide and thusly nurseries give me nothing than a hand holding experience less effective than the existing tools I have. Thank you for wasting my time because I was genuinely holding out for _any_ kind of empirical reasoning. My mistake.

- As proof of the author's research negligence: Not a single mention of channels. Not one. Homework was clearly not completed

I'm all for debating a language's efficacy and tradeoffs, but not when the opposing side has no idea how anything works. Then it's not a debate, it's just the ignorant proclaiming a need to interfere with others. Go away, please.

I need this to be expanded upon.

Presumably you don't mean your own life or data, or that of your friends and family where you can find consent.

So what's left is arguing for a right to remember strangers with high degree of accuracy, which is just fucking creepy no matter how you defend it.

And no, you don't have that right. Clearly trumped by the right to privacy. Unless you wanna defend some dude sitting outside your house (public property) recording you and your family's comings ans goings in a journal (which is already prohibited under most precedents around privacy, btw).

So unless it's some weird exercise in pedantry around accidental collection of background data (should you be forced to delete a photo because it has someone else in the frame? No but you shouldn't be able to make it _generally public_ either, a picture frame in your house is fine. Facebook is not) I've either missed something you or you lack obvious social skills? Help me out here

I think it's pretty pathetic some of you are focused on copilot (as if youve never ripped code off SO before). I'm willing to bet none of you have contributed anything to open source either. Dunning-Kruger effect on full display.

To the rest, congratulations and thank you from those of us who thanklessly use your hard work. I hope this kind of public appreciation takes off and we see more large names using this as a template.

Very American opinion you have their. It does not hold up the world over though.

Supermarkets are a bad example here because they are a critical link in the distribution economy.

Google? Not so much

Phone numbers and email: the primary identifiers that were never meant to be used as such.

No idea what a good alternative is though. Preferably something federated though
