I didn't read it that way myself.

For HN comment readers that skip citations (I'm not saying you did, just helping the conversation):

First paragraph

> cgo is an amazing technology which allows Go programs to interoperate with C libraries. It’s a tremendously useful feature without which Go would not be in the position it is today. cgo is key to ability to run Go programs on Android and iOS.

Last paragraph

> To be clear, I am not saying that you should not use cgo. But before you make that Faustian bargain, please consider carefully the qualities of Go that you’ll be giving up in return.

I don't see this as devaluing.

I don't know why a general observation and citation is getting downvoted.

Discouraged doesn't mean banned. It means avoided.

Regarding why, the article speaks to that.

You are right, in some cases, your best option will be cgo. That's fine. That's why it exists. It just shouldn't be someone's go-to anymore than goto is your go-to for flow control. Will you find circumstances for it? Sure. Do you want people to use it unnecessarily?

Memory safety would be a large selling point in my mind.

Why include console exclusives? Aren't people trying to compare Windows as a gaming platform to Linux as a gaming platform?

The article doesn't mention the performance overhead or the fact using cgo is generally discouraged. [1]

It depends a lot on where you land in tech (both department and company). That's definitely true for SWEs at FAANG companies.

I wonder what it would take to update these laws to require total comp disclosure instead of simply salary disclosure.

Initially, pandemic life was much worse for my sleep. Stress, burnout, exercising less (not even walking to/from the office), getting older, eating worse, all contributed to sleep problems (sleeping too much).

I changed jobs, saw a doctor, started eating better, am forcing some exercise, improved body chemistry, improved blood pressure. I'm sleeping better now than before the beginning of the pandemic, I have an easy time staying awake during the day, and I'm not even having caffeine anymore.

Being in your 40s, a reduction in sex hormones could be a contributing factor as well. Consider getting them checked.

"Run on Linux" implies either native or supported in my mind.

According to the article:

> 80% of the top 100 games on Steam now have gold or better ratings [in the Proton DB].

> If you are confused about the various ratings, here’s what it means:

> Native: Game is available on Linux natively

> Platinum: Runs perfectly out of the box

> Gold: Runs perfectly after tweaks

So, not all 80% are either native or supported. Still cool though. I look forward to no longer needing Windows. Options are good.

Intentional infliction if emotion distress is a cause of action for a civil suit. You don't have to have lost money.

From the study's FAQ[0]:

> Did an Institutional Review Board consider this study?

> We submitted an application detailing our research methods to the Princeton University Institutional Review Board, which determined that our study does not constitute human subjects research.

From the social experiment[as reported by OP's link]:

> I look forward to your reply without undue delay and at most within 45 days of this email, as required by Section 1798.130 of the California Civil Code.

I'm pretty sure most people would find that to be a thinly veiled threat of a lawsuit. I'd like to know if the review board considered the text of the email that the "researchers"[1] intended to send and the fact that they were likely to send it to individuals instead of solely publicly traded companies.

The page also no longer references the iMessage forced snitching on children. Was that covered in another news story?

Probably. It's not just about 1 in 8 billion people having taken the time to look, it's also about 1 in (what I'm guessing is) at least 100 people at Microsoft not leaking it. Apple had a leak before it was even released. Secrets are hard to keep.

> I don't care. I [switched to Linux]

That's short-sighted and self-centered.

You don't care about whether or not other people's rights are violated?

You don't see how normalizing rights violations could lead to downstream effects on you?

That may have been simple ignorance instead of whataboutism. The person asking it may genuinely not know how much easier it is to inspect Android (both the device and the open source). They may not know you can build custom images of Android either.

> That will disproportionately affect lower income households who can't as easily withstand these rising costs, which further drives income inequality.

I see your compassion, but income inequality isn't driven by prices, it's driven by the employers not paying enough to their employees. Prices can't fix that.

> This is trivialization of the transition

Is it? I read it more as this being an important step toward addressing the climate crisis.

> as the worlds depends oil in many ways

How much oil is used in making acetaminophen? Why even bring it up? Nobody is saying "no oil," they're saying "stop polluting so much".

> perhaps we innovate on making its extraction more eco friendly

The extraction is a small problem. The global warming it causes is the large problem. Less pumped oil means less burned oil which means fewer greenhouse gases.

For additional context to my Canadian friends, it's not actually legal in the US. Various states have banned state and local law enforcement from enforcing the federal law.

Since it's still illegal federally, dispensaries can't use banks as their funds could be seized without a trial, and merchant services (credit/debit network access) can't offer services to those businesses as it would be aiding in a felony.

Thanks for engaging here.

Unfortunately, everything is on autopay. I rarely access the app or browser extension, and almost never access the dashboard.

I hope folks over there are thinking about how many people will have fewer than 30 days to update their cards. Emails should have gone out much sooner. I'm guessing this was a rushed job, and I'm sympathetic toward the things vendors force on companies, but communication is 100% in a company's control and should have gone out much sooner (I still haven't received an email).

Since the title is a little misleading, here's how the article describes itself.

> Labor productivity—defined as output per labor hour—has grown at a below-average rate since 2005, representing a dramatic reversal of the above-average growth of the late 1990s and early 2000s. The productivity slowdown during these years has left many economic observers wondering why this situation has occurred and what factors may have contributed. To clarify potential sources of the productivity slowdown, this article presents an analysis of labor productivity and its component series—multifactor productivity, contribution of capital intensity, and contribution of labor composition—at both the economy-wide and industry levels, complemented with a survey of the contemporary productivity literature.

I wonder if we'll end up with something like smoking and non-smoking sections. E.g. this building is for vaccinated and that building is for unvaccinated.

False dichotomy. Systems of reasons affect decisions.

E.g. I'm willing to add a fully vaccinated office to my risk profile, but how do I get there? Even if I could trust everyone in the office was vaccinated (I can't), public transit was my only option before. Will the company send me a taxi with a vaccinated driver? Of course not.

Companies are asking people to take unnecessary risk for questionable speculative gain and burdening employees with figuring out (and paying for) how to do it safely.

I'm surprised I'm hearing about it here before getting an email from them.

What are your sources for hostnames to crawl?

I looked into it a long time ago and seem to remember there was a way to get access to registration records, but I imagine combining that with HTTP certificate transparency records would significantly increase your hostname list. Anything else?

And screen loggers.

And MitM network traffic loggers.

That said, I guess everyone's threat model is different and maybe a remote browser like this solves some problem for them despite those constraints.

IIUC, they can get 7 years worth of SMS/MMS (including contents) with very little effort/cost.

The link offers no proof, but that's somewhat understandable (I wouldn't want to dox myself either after such an event). If the claim is true, I hope they find an appropriate way of broadcasting it with credibility.

There's an interesting juxtaposition between your last point (people aren't keeping up with the times and instead blaming Google) and the commonality in your tips (don't use Google Search, use special communities).

That said, your tips are good. Thank you.

Yes, "mixed" means you have to read the nuance. I think I accurately captured the reality. If you have a correction to offer, please do.

EDIT: Ultimately, the nuance in that history is not relevant to the point that criminal law changes to include new categories in unexpected ways.

The people in the USA practicing eugenics thought they were doing the right thing. The people in the USA creating concentration camps for the Japanese (a.k.a. internment camps) thought they were doing the right thing.

Belief in yourself and your cause is irrelevant. Most people have that regardless of what they do.

Title is a little misleading.

Article is basically saying that, through a combination of too many streaming services, fragmented content, and premium pricing, the tv/movie industry is recreating a demand for piracy.

Good points.

I accidentally replied to yours. I had intended to reply to preseinger.
