yeah, performance optimization is the big cost with funcitonal languages, be it tail recursion or unfolding recursive stuff... recursion is very popular with functional languages but it has its own particular problems, i feel like the Go Authors have declined to add tail recursion to the language because the same logic is more efficiently expressed with for and switch and using concurrent channels and coroutines

yeah, they sound remarkably similar to interfaces

i like a lot of functional models but i think they don't cover you for actually that much... very nice for this kind of thing, but not so good for saving time and bugfixing on writing operations on mostly similar data types such as codecs

IMO, understanding how to write efficient codecs is a good thing for understanding how useful your programming language is, and i put an emphasis on efficient... inefficient, naive implementations are not difficult and easy to make bug-free but making them efficient often is a bit of voodoo haha

a lot of what you can do with polymorphism can be achieved with interfaces and templates (aka generics) with less ambiguity and lower compilation cost, that is facts

those differences can be very unpredictable sources of vulnerabilities and bugs

there is definitely an undersupply of both language coders

and i just point at this protocol, built by a go programmer, not the best, ok but still, he's at least 4 years into it

and docker and kubernetes, the original conception of Cosmos and Tendermint, i was introduced to the language first in a bitcoin chat on freenode in 2012 but second encounter was a tendermint guy

if you do a survey of some of the most quickly built and least buggy shitcoin codebases, all of them are built with Go, go is just see-through transparent and simple

having said that, our mate Roasbeef, co-inventor of LN, writes awful Go code, but btcd and lnd are both also Go... they are the worst though, ethereum and cosmos devs are better than the people they got building Go stuff for bitcoin

they are just bad ideas, at all

Are you willing to violently arrest sick people for traveling or being in public? Are you going to arrest people for not wearing a mask? Are you going to shoot these people or put them in cages when they resist? All laws, no matter how seemingly trivial are ultimately backed by lethal force.

Again. You are free to spare no expense & impose any discomfort on yourself that you would like in order to protect yourself from illness. It is not acceptable to impose the burden of your own fear onto others.

If you are the manager or owner of a business or private space you are free to tell employees or members not to come in when they are sick. You are free to regulate who comes in & out of private spaces you own however you see fit. You are not free to impose costs on others in public spaces.

yeah, i still struggle with seeing the imperative order of operations in javascript code

object oriented in general is a layer of complexity that is made obvious by how much processing it takes to compile it, i am totally an OOP disrespector... composition > inheritance, consistency > expressivity

there is a whole culture of protecting their supposed prime wages by deliberately adding friction to the work

more price manipulation ahead 💸

yeah, obfuscation and confusion is a standard thing in much of IT... you should see C++, Rust and Javascript, hooeee!

this is why i am a #golang maxi

go programmers and people willing to work as go programmers are scarce enough that i can find work if i need to, anywhere now... i hate them all but the endless marketing campaigns for javascript ninjas and rustaceans means they might have more trouble finding a job than me, where Google doesn't bother pimping their best asset so not so many know the language well and certainly not at 8 years of experience like me i first started digging into it in 2016)

code is hard enough to understand as it is but all these trendy languages use notations and idioms that increase its opacity by orders of magnitude, for no reason...

when i was in highschool, there was always a group, usually large and very social, of nerds who were all cryptomaniacs and cool kids in their own little club

that was not me, i didn't see the point in working to win points with these dickheads, but they all went off to pervert the course of computer programming, and i'm sure there is tens of millions of these cryptomaniac social climbers

I love that many bitcoin hackers only have an account on Nostr.

So something that has never been normal should now be the norm in spite of all evidence that it's a largely meaningless practice?

And people don't "feel" lied to, they were lied to in deeply fucked up ways.

weird that it did not overflow. some sort of magical tail recursion. php got much better then i remember ))

Good morning! Uncle is taking a break from social media, but with BTC hitting $53K, I thought I'd drop in with some positive energy and sats for you - I'm zapping every reply 🫂

Oil is down to $67? Oooaf

The pandemic made people retarded. If you're coughing on an airplane you should be wearing a mask, but people aren't willing to do it because they feel lied to and afraid it makes them look cucked.​ Sometimes critical thinking requires you to side with something you disagree with in alternative scenarios.

Do you know what's most annoying? Other people judging how you mourn. I was told to not take it bad because she wouldn't like it and others are strong to take it. Wtf. Yesterday after I cried for like three hours straight on my way there and during the whole show and finally got to laugh afterwards with others over some funny stories, one stranger guy there told me I don't seem sad at all. Like what the actual fuck is a judgement of others over a death.

It did, actually, because it showed me the same result that my logging was showing me: nothing.

And run it again... nothing.

And run it again... nothing.

It was an infinite loop. 😅 I had a copy-paste error with a getter that called itself. Looked at it for almost an hour and couldn't see the problem, so I was like, let me ask the debugger, and then the stack blew up.
