Anybody who is surprised by this has not been paying attention to how the recent acquirer of Twitter has stewarded it thus far.

I can't access the profile of the user in question, and the page tells me it's because they're suspended, so seems pretty real to me.

Corporations will run roughshod over regulators and everyday citizens' lives will be measurably worse as a consequence.

I would imagine most Americans on this website are capable of comprehending liters.

It's funny because that's how I feel about Rust on this website.

What about YIMBYism obligates you to cheer for anything unrelated to increasing housing supply?

IIRC Retool also offers this functionality: https://retool.com/products/ai

She willingly conjured up fake financial documents to suit Sam's needs. She had the kind of credentials that would have easily landed her a job at other financial institutions, she absolutely could have quit at any point.

This is like that comment on the launch post for Dropbox all over again.

If it's a society issue that Apple takes advantage of to carve a monopoly for itself, then that's an Apple issue.

And you think Apple had no role to play in this by making most of them useless on their devices?

You're on a tear in this thread being wrong about how Go works, but I'm really curious what extremely specific series of events you're imagining would have to happen to lead to this outcome. If I use a dependency, it gets saved in the module proxy, I can also vendor it. You would have to, as a maintainer, deliberately try to screw over anybody using your library to accomplish what you describe.

Ah yes, the notoriously popular and actively contributed Smalltalk ecosystem.

What changes are set to be made to the file format of PNGs that would prevent it from being relevant in the standard library 40 years from now?

I take it you're using urllib2 to make HTTP requests in Python?

Rust dependency management is the best parts of Go with the worst parts of NPM.

There's nothing about the Go compiler that enforces any case standard. I can't imagine a more trivial hill to die on.

I've been involved in the Go community for almost 10 years, and I've never once heard anybody say "worse is better". Comparing Go's tooling to Typescript feels like a farce, especially since you've neglected to mention the horror that is npm.

Yeah, we should only tolerate domestic propaganda outlets.

An accusation of such would have as much merit as the accusations that China is dictating the tone of conversation on TikTok.

In what way does TikTok operating challenge U.S. sovereignty? This is 2003 all over again.

This feels like a distinction without a difference.

Go fits into when you don't want to comb through 50-line stack traces that exclusively reference nested dependency after nested dependency.

None of this is part of Javascript, Goland does most of what you describe.

> This feels like a massive antipattern. Why is this lauded as a "feature"? Why do I want my build system to automatically reach out to the Internet and download random code, without an explicit request to do so like "npm install"?

It's not random code, it's code you've expressly used.

I guess now they can move on to making a shop where you can embed product affiliate links into your videos.

I would love to see some citations on this subject that don't come from The Federalist Society.

> Anyone know some of the pitfalls of an employee-owned company like that, and proven ways to avoid them?

The primary pitfall is that if you become successful, your investors don't get the returns they crave at the expense of those responsible for your success getting to live like serfs.

Most of the time you accept a context because some downstream function requires it (i.e. I'm writing an HTTP client, and the `net/http` std lib functions require context for some part of it). You can have general confidence that the standard library will respect things like context deadlines, even if the wrappers that invoke that don't necessarily.

Treating a context value as a bag to fetch data out of is the first mistake. They should only ever be used to control things like deadlines and whether or not a part of a function executes. IMHO they should disallow attaching values to a context.
