Clearly lol. I think a good-faith interpretation of the question is: "What kinds of things is go's concurrency model suited for where the normal pythonic alternative is cumbersome/less desirable"
It actually is a paradox, a veridical paradox. But I'm splitting hairs lol
This line of thinking necessarily throws out any formal systems of reasoning humans have adopted. E.g. belief in a divine creator gives little reason to believe that Newton's First Law is eternally consistent if an…
I'm not convinced jobs will be axed in the long-term - All the big tech companies frequently staff teams on projects that basically go nowhere to spread bets on multiple projects in case one has legs. Once LLMs reach…
One of the many things that has been strange to me is how often people will label written thoughts as AI slop when the "signs" are just normal phrases. Sure, that's a tired expression, and I 100% agree we should be…
Well this is not the context I had in mind. I'm thinking of the many times I've had to break apart 3kloc react components to reuse some part just because someone decided modularity didn't matter
Hot take - I hate YAGNI. My personal pet peeve is when someone says YAGNI to a structure in the code they perceive as "more complex than they would have done it". Sure, don't add hooks for things you don't immediately…
Stuff like this is very common. For example, at the start of Trump's second term, the whitehouse history page was changed to make democrat presidents look bad -…
Can you elaborate? This seems like a simple mistake if they are incorrect, I'm not sure where 33% or 50% come from here.
The distinction between rent/own is kind of a false dichotomy. You never truly own your platform - you just "rent" it in a more distributed way that shields you from a single stress point. The tradeoff is that you have…
Before I got into software development, I worked at a company doing technology-adjacent things. Nothing too fancy, but I got to improve a lot of things just by knowing a little powershell. One day, a senior developer…
Rust is an unergonomic language that slows development in the general case (because it has lots of arcane syntax and rules, and people generally don't know it). Suggesting it as the "obvious" choice ignores the…
I disagree that this is an issue in every language - the problem is that in other languages the validation against some schema is more or less required for unmarshalling, and it's optional in TS. Seeing a…
It's a lot more effort, but branded types for conceptual differences can bridge that last gap
Not parent comment, but TS is generally safe if you have types correct at system borders, but very scary when you don't. Some of the most impactful bugs I've seen are because a type for an HTTP call did not match the…
I think the point was that they are contradictory, yet "data" was shown to indicate they were each sound decisions, implying an inherent dishonesty and willingness to bend data to support an already drawn conclusion.
Not sure if it's just me, as I'm relatively new to the field, but I notice a surprising amount of people assume that the details in programming have already been made intuitive to them, and they use this "experience" to…
Wouldn't this complicate variable binding? I'm unsure how to think about this kinda of syntax if either D or E are expected to return some kind of data instead of "fire and forget" processes.
This is a foolish consistency, and a contrived counterexample. Consistency is not an ideal unto itself.

There are usually flights from hub to spoke, and spoke to hub, and each one will have the same number. This is within a 24 hour period. 3934 is one such flight between PHX and SEA.
The misconception here is that Flight numbers are not treated as IDs. A unique key to any flight is the composite of number/origin/departure date. And it's mostly a holdover from legacy systems airlines are entrenched…
If the problem is pervasive as made out to be, it stands to reason that a person would have at least one anecdotal experience in favor of the claim.
This is specific to the act of learning a language, where writing out the characters with intentionality will obviously have more carryover to memorizing the forms of such characters. When the learning tools are…
