Pixel phones. Night and day difference from my wife’s iPhone. Same carrier. It’s simply not an issue.
I have an iPhone and I basically never get spam calls.
What makes compilation fast is a good goal at places with large code bases and build times. Maybe makes less sense in smaller startups with a few 100k LOC.
This describes the classic scenario of "You don't have google's problems, so maybe stop trying to hype google's toys". Protobuf feels similarly developer-hostile vs alternatives, and I remember a lot of similar sentiment around using it. It's funny that people don't seem to learn the lesson.
The hotspots are all wrong for me in Brave. I mouse over the fork and it says frame. I mouse over the handlebars and it says seat. I mouse over the front brake and it says stem. Etc.

Because enough people clicked the flag link. If enough of them click the flag link on this one, it'll get flagged too!
Flagging is there for stuff that's off-topic or generating low-quality discussion in the views of the people clicking the flag link. Sometimes the admins will step in to unflag the article if it looks like neither of these apply, and/or if it would be helpful to have a containment topic for discussion of a particularly popular contentious topic.
> Because enough people clicked the flag link.
Tautology isn't a useful reply to this question. At best it's a distraction, and at worst deflection. That people clicked the flagged link is already apparent by virtue of the post having been marked as flagged. That doesn't engage with why it was flagged.

This won't happen in practice because it's incredibly impractical. It would require massive amounts of manpower and be very expensive.

Why was this flagged?
Good answer for why found in the comment thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44979622
I've been using Go more or less in every full-time job I've had since pre-1.0. It's simple for people on the team to pick up the basics, it generally chugs along (I'm rarely worried about updating to latest version of Go), it has most useful things built in, it compiles fast. Concurrency is tricky but if you spend some time with it, it's nice to express data flow in Go. The type system is most of the time very convenient, if sometimes a bit verbose. Just all-around a trusty tool in the belt.
But I can't help but agree with a lot of points in this article. Go was designed by some old-school folks that maybe stuck a bit too hard to their principles, losing sight of the practical conveniences. That said, it's a _feeling_ I have, and maybe Go would be much worse if it had solved all these quirks. To be fair, I see more leniency in fixing quirks in the last few years, like at some point I didn't think we'd ever see generics, or custom iterators, etc.
The points about RAM and portability seem mostly like personal grievances though. If it was better, that would be nice, of course. But the GC in Go is very unlikely to cause issues in most programs even at very large scale, and it's not that hard to debug. And Go runs on most platforms anyone could ever wish to ship their software on.
But yeah the whole error / nil situation still bothers me. I find myself wishing for Result[Ok, Err] and Optional[T] quite often.

It feels often like the two principles they stuck/stick to are "what makes writing the compiler easier" and "what makes compilation fast". And those are good goals, but they're only barely developer-oriented.
The 9950X's TDP (Thermal Design Power) is 170 W, its default socket power is 200 W [2], and with PBO (Precision Boost Overdrive) enabled it's been reported to hit 235 W [3].
