Except that's not from the frame of reference of the photon. At the speed of light, the Lorentz transform shows that 1) Time stops completely, 2) All distances in the direction of travel collapse to zero. So in a very real sense, &quot

Try writing Go without generics. No typed maps, arrays, slices, channels or function types. Only `interface{}`. Go always had generics, you just weren’t allowed to write your own until recently.

Because go doesn’t have exhaustiveness checking when initialising structs. Instead it encourages “make the zero value meaningful” which is not always possible nor desirable. I usually use a linter to catch this kind of problem https:/

Nix has two types of derivations (builds). Input addressed, and content addressed. An input addressed derivation’s hash is based on the the hash of all its input derivations and its own derivation. Therefore trusting the association between

You’re confusing Outer Worlds with Outer Wilds, both confusingly released around the same time. Outer Wilds is an indie game where exploration and knowledge is the entire point of the game. It unfortunately has zero reply value as once you’

I really hate this kind of micro-analysis when it comes to health. The human body is really really complicated and getting fixated on things like oxalates is in direct contradiction to longer term studies on overall health that show that ea

Go functions are coloured as well. context.Context proliferates everywhere IO takes place to handle cancellation / short circuiting because goroutines can’t be sent signals to die like threads. They have to exit themselves.

If this were true, wouldn’t all corporate profits be next to zero as companies compete on the slimmest possible margins?

That attitude assumes that the go standard library is the global maximum for Getting Stuff Done, and because of backwards compatibility guarantees ensures that it’s difficult to innovate on. I think having a small standard library is actual

Not OP but at least for me, over time meat, dairy, etc become so deeply associated with the nightmare of industrial scale animal agriculture that they loose their aesthetic appeal. I know it’s surprising, and it happens slowly, but it happe

Meaning is use. “Milk” is a fuzzy collection of properties and use cases. Which is why when you say “coconut milk” or “oat milk” people aren’t confused. Hell, cows aren’t magic. Even “real milk” is just a collection of sugars, proteins, etc

But the whole point of "I, Robot" is that the three laws are incomplete and insufficient! That's literally the whole point of the book.

How do you square that away with its use in the standard library, and many third party libraries? Someone’s gotta write the reflection code.

The phenomenon of “coloured functions” is usually derided because of the way it infects the call tree. In this sense context proliferation is the same phenomenon. Otherwise no one would really care about coloured functions.

You’re correct that they’re fundamentally different things, I didn’t mean to draw a false equivalence between them. The comparison I was trying to draw between them was the way they infect the call tree and usually demarcate impure function

context.Background() is typically only used when one doesn’t care about the result. If you did care about the result, you should be passing the parent context to preserve the circuit breaker timeout in case the operation takes too long. I t

> Go decouples all that coloring away. Go does have “coloured functions”, it’s called `context.Context`. Any function in go performing IO usually has to take `context.Context` as its first argument so it’s cancelable. Which then propagat

I would agree if it weren’t super easy to cause a panic in go. Index slice out of bounds? panic. Close a channel twice? Panic. Incorrect type assertion? Panic. Dereference nil pointer? Panic. I would argue that all of these examples which a

Go always had generics, map, slice, chan are all generic. Go just didn't let the user write any generics, so fuck you if you want any other data structure until 1.18. If you really think you don't need generics, take your code cod
