Maybe go just isn’t for you? It really doesn’t need every feature of other languages. The error handling is ideal for me, better than any other language. You are always explicit, with every function call, about “what…
But an individual human eats a fixed amount of food. So that fact seems pointless, since people will get less nutrition overall- unless we should all only eat ultra-processed snacks and reserve fresh food for the…

I mean I agree that it’s stupid, but my point was that there are protocols in place to handle this already. If the US government says it’s the name of something, then it’s any map company’s job to display the valid name…
Why would they? Its name was officially changed. Things are renamed all the time. For a recent example, Mount Evans in Colorado was changed to Mount Blue Sky
That would be exactly what I need! Ideally something like 5min bike ride to the grocery store, 15min walk from a train station, and 30min drive to my in-law’s house. It would be really interesting to do something like…
I’m not actually sure since I never had issues, but I’ve heard it’s not much since they’re basically just an API for transferring money between banks. Each bank app still needs to integrate with the network separately.…
If it’s the same as mine, it measures your heart rate overnight after you settle in. Then, when you wake up, it tells you your “resting heart rate” number. It can be an indicator of short-term stress if it is higher…
Something like iDeal, which is a payment processing system in the Netherlands. It works so well and is very secure. You get to the checkout page on a website, click a link. If you’re on your phone, it hotlinks to open…
Your comment comes off as alarmist, but then I realized the content of the article, and think that you may be right. I still stand by my point that most of our politicians have done this to us, on all sides of the…
Agreed - I think we say similar things. I am mostly suggesting that authoritarians currently live in all sides of the aisle in our government right now. And they’ve all been ratcheting up in intensity, getting us used…
They’re not both the same level of bad currently, I agree. But they have both been consistently working to normalize their authoritarianism. I mentioned the 2020 protests in another sibling comment, which I think is a…
I see your point, however, in this case the democrats and republicans are part of the same entity. I am suggesting that the politicians’ interests are somewhat aligned, in regard to grabbing power. Their techniques are…
Edit: thanks for all of the replies, I’m questioning my framing here now due to some smart people’s thoughts.. I suggest reading the full thread, as there are some interesting comments. I see the obvious parallels to…
Wouldn’t a headlamp or a flashlight achieve the same purpose?
I think an important note is that regulatory agencies in other countries have cracked down on some of those scary-sounding chemicals, due to them being unnecessary for food with no real benefit for the person eating it,…
Yeah probably not the environmental management, but likely they are in favor of the other point I made earlier about leveling the playing field by ensuring American companies are competing with others who value similar…
Yeah, that's fair. I guess I'm ok with raised prices in the short-term if it brings more stability and better working conditions + environmental management in the long-term.
> American companies will never go below whatever the Chinese widget costs Why not? If there are 3 American companies with similar costs, would all of them just say “well, the price is the price?” Or would there…
What about the harder ones that come up? A personal choice like that is easy, but “I don’t drink when I know I’ll have to drive home because…” It’s harder to empathize with those who do drink in that situation
The American consumers do have other options — other American companies. Who are all held to a higher standard than foreign companies due to sharing a regulatory environment. So the price may go up, but it will…
It depends… do the states share a common set of laws and values? Do the benefits of one state profiting transfer in part to other states? Is there a course for grievances to be settled across state lines with reciprocal…
I listen to a podcast called Crushing Iron. One of the two hosts realized he was in poor shape and his friends were starting to decay. I think he was about 50 when he had that realization. He decided not to let it…
Neovim is basically unusable due to the plugins I use having Unicode characters not supported properly (like telescope), so it does make a huge difference to me. Also, latency is an issue, and of the third-party…
As-is, it works very well in California. I had never experienced the resistance you imagined during the 3-4 years I lived in California, and regularly cancelled subscriptions that were notoriously hard in other states
