It is not systemd dependent.

How is go more portable than C?. Genuine question.

> Canadian banks has a very conservative “stress test” ... Therefore it isn’t possible to “stretch yourself beyond any reasonable limits”

“stretch yourself beyond any reasonable limits” means that you may not be able to pay your mortgage, it doesn't mean the bank won't offer it to you.

As GP said, the exact numbers are configurable, therefore your simplification may not work. BTW, none of the examples (the first text and all the subsequent variants) on the web site follows exactly these 3 rules, it must be something more.

Somebody has to make the tool :-)

If appeal didn’t exist for novice or average players then nobody would be over 2000 eventually and the chess would not exist as a (popular) game.

Every 3-4 years.

> If software developer produces $100k/year value, then it's worth spending several thousands of dollars for every percent of increased effectiveness. This can buy almost any monitor on the market.

This doesn't add up: 1% of $100K = $1000. You would spend _several_ $1000 for every $1000 of produced value per year.

EDIT: Added "per year" at the end, thanks to Arcuru's question.

Likely out of love to educate. And/or if you are inclined to look for less altruistic reasons, just his blog presence in HN could bring him a lot of visibility. Every of his amazing posts appeared on first page (disclaimer: I have seen and enjoyed a few, I don't know that for certain.)

It would work, but still not “credible”, too “forward thinking” :) Who in the DOS era would come up with such folder name ….

> Especially sad since those affiliate links to Amazon mostly resulted in "This product is currently not available" sites.

This should not be considered "especially sad" in my view. It would be worse if these links worked, thus generating additional revenue for these "web players" (pun intended).

Ideally, yes ... but in large orgs with different internal agendas and politics it might be problematic to get through :)

And these days: if it cannot make video calls it is not a computer for work.

My wild guess is that GP comment was meant to "provoke" thoughtful comments in defence of FP. And regardless of GP's intend, it really succeeded in that regard - just looking at some of the responses.

A side note: Thank you for using phonetic transcription in IPA. This is very rare and I really don’t understand why it is not used more often.

Perhaps 1/frequency.

But do you use this weapon?

> getting angry at your manager is shooting the messenger

Well, a manager being (only) messenger (in this situation) is one of the traits of bad manager, isn't it?

A copy-paste from "Use Cases" in Janet's README.md:

Janet makes a good system scripting language, or a language to embed in other programs. It's like Lua and Guile in that regard. It has more built-in functionality and a richer core language than Lua, but smaller than GNU Guile or Python.

> totally disconnected from all physical services

Do they have mail or courier services?

> In what way?

Anti abortion laws.

GP likely meant anti abortion laws.

And their close “cousins” English wine cask units [1]

> Do any other entrenched software projects come to mind?

SQLite.

> ... it’s rare to see someone come through with significant OSS contributions

Because these people rarely apply for a posted job opening.

Yes, it is like cleaning an oil spill.

Unfortunately this version 15 is deployed in production already and it will be very difficult to fix it :-(

GP meant Go run-time speed, not its compiler’s.

> the resistance will be overcome eventually

Like 50-60 years in this case :-(
