Good thoughts. I'll add it on my todo list. You can contact me on foolow.

Won't it get annoying if new posts of lesser ranking keep showing up first?

The point doesn't need to be to amass followers. It can be to share knowledge and spread news. There could be a more useful variation in this medium than today's Twitter.

Writing also helps develop ideas. Trying to explain things well in short sentences helps develop your mind. Surely this isn't useless.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I went ahead and implemented part of (2): letting the user who posts to rate. I'll work on ranking posts by this score.

I'm writing a fresh Twitter. Help me build it.

> I think that's reason enough.

That's not what companies think.

And a candidate that thinks of applying to a position knows nothing about the company's willingness to give feedback.

Hey, Slackers, you can't find what isn't there.

Most of the time I search for information I need is because I don't know anything about that part of the software. I never found this kind of information in Slack.

Parse the company docs, or our rep, and now we're talking.

You misunderstood what I wrote: why would employers give feedback?

How do you expect employers to start giving feedback?

What's the alternative? Maybe starting a startup your friends.

Because feedback is something candidates want. A site that had all candidates on it is where employers would go.

Do you see other ways of getting feedback?

Alrighty, let's try this again.

I'm thinking of writing a website that requires the employer to give feedback. Else the site will list the bad employers.

Or it requires the employer to pay upfront per candidate who applies, and they employer gets a full refund if they give full feedback.

If I were HR I'd be running away from this, because of liability, which is probably why employers don't give feedback at interviews. So the site will require candidates to sign away their rights of of suing the employer over the interview process.

What'd y'all think?

You shared a lot of deep insight here. Thanks.

> something I have a solution for in a way that no one is doing

Is the general direction for this something you can share? 30 years of database literature accumulated a lot of knowledge. It's be a bold claim to say there's something powerful yet non-obvious.

> you'd want to do caching

That's not what I meant. I understand caching helps.

What I meant is will there ever be a way for caching to happen automatically behind the scenes without me ever having to do anything at all to make all this happen.

For example, the OS caches files, but I don't have to configure the OS file cache by hand. The OS takes care of it.

These rules intimidate me (I don't know Go).

You also meant to say the go fix command does a lot (which is great), not that calling it is simple (which is not great).

Yes. I surf the web through Tor and Medium.com asks me to prove I'm not a robot. I don't like that, so I stopped reading Medium.com.

Question: who is going to remember all these conversion rules? By the second bullet you lost me.

Simply run the command below:

   go tool fix -diff -force=context state-of-go/tools/gofix.go

How is typing 59 characters simple?

Will there ever be an easier way to do all these kinds of caching? As in, do nothing at all?

> Fatal Famililal Insomnia is erm.... fatal. Its certainly not because you didn't forget.

It might be. It's a kind of garbage collection. Long-lived dynamic programs with bad GC run out of memory and exit with fatal errors, precisely because they didn't forget.

> Things scale differently in different markets and products.

This is vague.

Running on the cloud is always more expensive than running your own infrastructure past a certain size and always provides less predictable performance.

Sorry folks, the box ran out of memory. I restarted it manually.

Why would the form not be legally binding?

What kind of example are you looking for?

Hey, cool idea! We could add this to it: https://nochio.com/?kind=bad

"1 + 1 = 2" is true and objective for an infinite time period.

I was on the job market recently and similar things happened to me. It's worse when you don't get feedback after you go to an interview.

Two days ago I thought of making a job site that requires the employer to provide feedback, and the candidate to sign a form that says they won't sue the employer over the interview process. This way the employer has no excuse for not giving feedback.

Would you use this?

It looks like SWIM scales better than Raft. Are there well-known production systems that use it?

Can I write an ASIC with it?
