Java and C# are both languages with A LOT more features and things to learn. Go someone can pick 80% of the language up in a single day.

Java and C# have way to much baggage to compare them to Go. They nearly look like different languages depending on the version you're using.

You're getting downvoted, but most of the time I prefer room temperature water.

ramenmeal · 7 months ago

probably downvoted because it doesn't really add to the conversation.

Does anyone else feel like dayquil is an effective decongestant? I do. I can literally feel the gunk running down from my sinuses to the back of my throat when I take it. Confusing to me cause it's phenylephrine, which is what the article states is ineffective. I've had this experience after reading these reports about a year ago.

A lot of evidence, but no claim.

"Smart home" has really fallen flat across the board, from smart speakers to the Roomba. It would be great if Apple changed that, but I'm not optimistic. I just don't think people really want smart home devices all that much.

From what I hear, it's a nightmare to get Siri to know what light you want to turn on. Unfortunately it seems like apple is trailing the pack in the smart home area.

150 miles off the coast doesn't sound that far from the subduction zone. Seems hard to believe there wouldn't be some tectonic relationship between the areas.

EV utility is less than ICE cars, but far worse than commuter rail. Most of the pollution in the bay area is from car tires. So if they really want to clean that up, they need to switch to light rail and inter city express rail

ramenmeal · 2 years ago

Honest question, tires, or brakes? I was under the impression brake dust was the worst polluter. I'm sure tires aren't great either, but they should be equivalent between EV's and ICE cars. Brakes last significantly longer on EV's and therefore would help with pollution.

> note that gofmt doesn't indent, which is the hard part

interesting because for me it's hard to read changelogs of js/ts based repos that are using prettier compared to go repos, I wonder if the indentation is a reason for that. I'm honestly not sure what the author means by that either, gofmt seems to fix indentation for me.

It seems like they're targeting the symptom instead of the problem.

One of the biggest problems with robocalls is that it's really impossible to know who's calling you, and that SPAM reporting tools don't have much teeth.

IE, when I have an incoming call, I should be able to see who's liable for the call. IE, "[phone number] is registered to [Person or corporation]", and that reports of spam should impede that party's ability to use the phone network.

ramenmeal · 2 years ago

I think "SHAKEN/STIR" is supposed to fix this long term. I'm not sure why it's taking so long, but I believe phones will already indicate if the phone call has a verified caller id. Probably next step is to just block any non-verified caller. I'm assuming there's just a lot of migration work to happen.

This is making the news since it's another Boeing issue, but it seems like any issue with a 757 at this point would be from improper maintenance, right?
