Isn’t it funny how the self-proclaimed “liberal” governments who warn about the “dangers of rising authoritarianism” are in fact the authoritarians?

I don't think anyone goes out of their way to travel or be out around people when they are sick without good reason.

The only thing I am concerned with is what are you going to do about it? Being quietly pissed off is your own personal issue, sit & stew if that is what you want to do. But being mad at people for something that I am sure they didn't do on purpose seems pretty fucking self centered.

haha yeah... i refused to use modules for a whole year, they were buggy af lol

now, idk how we'd survive without it but i'm not sure they did it quite perfect, i still keep a GOPATH as a convenient way to organise all my repos

but it works!

there's some glitches here and there with dependencies sometimes though... the btcd and lnd repos notably are a shitfight of dependencies literally back to different versions of the same fucking repo, it's madness

I see u

My global feed is actually so good now using WoT relay this is elite shit

yeah they declined it, it's something you can dig out of the golangnuts mailing list from at least 5 years ago, they just don't see the point of adding this feature to the compiler because of the dramatic computation cost

It’s only a 2x from here and we are back at $100k. Let’s f* go!

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

wait what? go doesn't have tail call recursion, does it?

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.
