Why Go and not Java?

This article just makes me more reluctant to ever use it for anything

But if Google wants to ruin their own lang, sure by all means

It's an IDE

Adding tracking to an actual language is unheard of, but can't say I'm surprised Google is trying

> Is anyone else noticing that for several 5 year blocks (pentad) the world just seems to get markedly worse? It's like no body seems to give a shit about anyone except themselves anymore. Whats the cause of this? What's the solution?

I used to think that random people on the internet could be trusted, now my attitude is (essentially) "if I don't know you, then fuck off and fuck your opinion too"

I'm not saying this directed at you OP, I've felt the same thing you've felt about the world becoming worse off

In 2018-19 I'd think about making a blog connected to my IRL credentials. Now, this isn't really something I'd consider doing. I used to want to write an autobiography, now I'd rather not say anything

And with respect to this:

> And at the same time, we get these cases where a dude like Tyre,

That whole thing makes me feel physically ill. If people are capable of that kind of cruelty, what does that say about our society?

> Similarly, strength is really just about how much you work out.

Some people can get shredded really easily because of genetics. Some people are just naturally more fit than others

> but I'm mighty suspicious of where you're hoping this conversation will go.

My point is your initial point is an oversimplification. If you throw the same resources at the same group of people from a similar socioeconomic status, there will still be a difference of ability. Some people will move faster than others

So the crux of my argument is this: just because there's an inequality of outcome does not imply that the cause is purely socioeconomic. Given constitutional differences, striving for equality of outcome is a sub-optimal use of resources

Should there be standards or some kind of baseline? Yes. But striving for absolute equality of outcome at the expense of everything else is a net negative for society

Quic sounds like it has a lot of performance potential but hasn't hit critical mass yet

> that while of course various aspects of intelligence can be affected by genetics

Yep this is what I was looking for. Given this, the original claim isn't right

> Can you demonstrate that genetic factors play a stronger part in how our society defines "intelligence" than the things I mentioned?

Claim above was that intelligence "is really just" access to education, but now the goalpost has shifted

Now it's that access to education is "the most significant part". Is it? How could we know either way? By churning out a bunch of studies? The claim still isn't falsifiable

> Aligning society along a hierarchy of "intelligence" is really just aligning it on a hierarchy of access to education, which is just a function of economic class privilege (or racial class privilege really, these are tightly integrated even today in many societies for historical or otherwise reasons).

This is the claim: intelligence is just some combination of education, class, and race

Let's state the obvious here: genetics. Why did you conveniently leave that one out? Are you in denial about (inherently) stupid people existing or something? Can you prove that they don't exist?

Also, before you assume I'm being more specific: I'm not saying equal access to education is a wasted endeavor. Sure, make the public school system good in rich and poor areas

But we're talking about intelligence in general here, so leaving genetics out is just avoiding the obvious because it isn't politically satisfying

> It's all worthless because I don't see any fancy branding in your resume.

According to who exactly? Some stupid person somewhere? Why should anyone here care?

No clue why this is getting downvoted, maybe by people working in said business who are coping over this

But really: why don't more people use ublock origin? It makes the web actually usable

If I go on a website and see a bunch of sponsored bullshit, it makes me much less likely to ever go there again

> It is why "redditor" exists as an insulting term, but fb/twitter/etc don't have one. Not necessarily just the users, but the mods too.

It really is. If someone mentions using reddit irl I usually assume that they're bad news and steer clear

> The investors and the engineers and all the workers at Reddit will become rich, but the people who do the most important work, as outlined by the brief, are the anonymous moderators that create the culture of every subreddit.

That's assuming the IPO goes well

> So four were appointed by Nixon, who specifically had in mind moving the court to a more conservative stance.

Did he? Whether or not that was his intent is unclear

> Bellman-Ford is optimal for positive edge only.

???

CLRS says it takes negative weight edges (just no negative cycles) and does it in O(VE). I have no idea where you're getting this from
