Having grown up in Atlanta, please let be the first to tell you that black folks would be immeasurably angered (and quite rightfully so) seeing an old, privileged, powerful white lady who has spent months persuading the populace that she's firmly against racism and fully supportive of women's rights treating a black female staffer in such a manner.
They'd be angry... and then most would still go out and vote for her. Why? Because a disproportionate percentage of those voters is dependent on government programs, and their political and "civil rights" leaders depend on their financial and political ties to Democrats as well.
What Hillary or Trump believe or say has nothing to do with this simple logic of wealth and power.
Just found a site comparing different languages solving a number of computing problems. Now, i know these are to be taken with a grain of salt, but their results is that Go runtimes are comparable with C++ [debian.org] and way ahead of Java [debian.org]
That's the same site I was looking at actually. Note that there are two kinds of results there: those where Go and C++ are comparable, and those where Go is several times slower than C++. It's the latter that tell you that there are significant bottlenecks in Go somewhere, and given that the language is 10 years old and they still show up, they can't be all that easy to eliminate. An "efficient language" shouldn't have any significant bottlenecks.
Go's support of interfaces covers most of the operations you might want to perform using generics, even if it's sometimes a bit cumbersome to implement.
People had some excuse for that kind of low quality language design a few decades ago, when generics weren't as well understood, when computers had little memory, and when writing compilers was hard. There is no excuse today.
Rob Pike is more than likely looking towards some strong use cases in production that would have been better with generics than without them. He seems very caution to add big unwieldy whiz-bang features and is willing to suffer some tedious C-like software in the interim.
Go is 10 years old, and Rob Pike has been at this for forty years, and he still doesn't understand the common use cases for generics? Perhaps he should retire and go into Bonsai pruning or something, because language design doesn't seem to be his forte.
What is really funny here is every time Trump is mentioned you go "but Hillary...".
No, honey, Hillary was part of this thread before I joined it, and since then, you, not me, have brought her up twice.
Blind tribalism at work.
True: you are suffering from blind tribalism. As for me, I am an ex-Democrat, former Obama voter, registered independent, and libertarian.
Now go back and join your fellow Democrats and fellow Republicans in your common "basket of deplorables", because there is really little difference between you two.
If your hero has a chance he is going to fuck you over big time.
I'm a libertarian, not a conservative. Trump isn't my first choice for president, and I think he's not very competent, but his actual political program is a fairly moderate conservative program. Depending on how close it looks where I live, I may hold my nose and vote for Trump anyway because I don't want Hillary.
Stop pretending to be so stupid and open your eyes.
Hillary has already "fucked me over". But that's not why I'm not voting for her. Neither am I not voting for her because I think she is cold, opportunistic, corrupt, duplicitous, and utterly unlikable.
The reason I don't want Hillary to become president is simply because I think Hillary's political program is awful. I agree more with Sanders and JIll Stein than with Hillary Clinton.
The Clintons went from no money to a personal net worth of $120 million, all based on their government service. That is corruption.
The latest bit of Trump corruption to come to light was in Cuba a few years ago.
That was an instance of law breaking, not corruption. And given that I considered the trade restrictions with Cuba to be unjust and destructive, I have no problem with him having broken the law in that case. Any other examples?
I'm also not too fond of its semantics, and find the libraries somewhat limited. But other than syntax, semantics, and libraries, it looks like a great lanaguage!
IEEE lists a rating of "71.9 out of 100" for Go for both mobile and embedded programming. That doesn't make any sense: Go has little support for either use case right now. And the fact that the numerical rating is identical suggests a tiny sample size or other problems with their calculation.
But if you, for example, are interested in space and follow NASA, ESA and a few space nuts, you will likely be totally unaware of all that SJW and anti-SJW bullshit. And I'm sure that people who sell space-related stuff would love to be in your feed.
RSS is a much better technology for those purposes: unlike Twitter, it's open, distributed, not subject to censorship, and much more resistant to government surveillance.
So, use something like Feedly and/or get yourself an RSS reader and quit Twitter.
Eh, I'm afraid you described pretty much all social media platforms - the swarm of virtue signaling, perennially offended idiots have taken over all of them,
Well, my point is that a 140 character limit pretty much precludes any other use. Discussion platforms that allow for longer messages at least have the potential to be used for actual discussions.
I'd offer to simplify it even further: the problem is that many progressives haven't made the jump from "oh wow, western civilization has done a bunch of crappy things" to "oh wow, everybody has done a bunch of crappy things."
Haven't made the jump? US progressivism since the 1950's has increasingly incorporated elements of Frankfurt school ideology; rejecting Western civilization is part and parcel of that ideology.
Funny, you think everyone who isn't like you is an SJW. The difference being that "conservative" describes a political philosophy and is not an insult
The term "social justice warrior" was used as a positive term by proponents of "social justice" themselves for at least a couple of decades.. But you obviously like to follow the advice of your hero that if you "repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it".
It has become a pejorative because people disapprove of what it refers to. That's why left-wing political movements keep making up or appropriating positive sounding terms and applying them to their agenda: socialism, communism, progressivism, social justice, liberalism, etc.
You are everything you claim your worst enemies are.
Left wing and right wing ideologues are largely interchangeable and equally deplorable. That includes you.
What you describe sounds like some conservatives, yourself included. The ones who want to silence criticism (like the Eich debacle) and inflict their dogma on others (like so called "religious freedom" and "bathroom bills").
It does! See, progressives and the religious right both favor massive government intervention in individual lives, restrictions on free speech, and mandatory indoctrination of the population in their ideology. And as each side abuses government power, the other side uses that as justification for even more abuses.
and inflict their dogma on others (like so called "religious freedom" and "bathroom bills").
The "dogma" that is being inflicted there is a government mandate (1) for private businesses to associate with people they don't want to associate with and (2) make their bathroom facilities in ways they don't want to make them available in. The response of the religious right has simply been to create religious exemptions for (1) and impose different mandates for (2).
Establish bases, yes. Leave piles of radioactive, toxic shit behind when vacated, no.
Whether or not that's legally true depends on the exact agreement, which neither you nor I know. Denmark is welcome to try to make a legal case out of that. Good luck with that.
Morally, given that the US spent massive amounts of money first getting the Nazis out of power and then defending Europe against Russia, the least Europeans could do is clean up a small "pile of radioactive and toxic shit". After all, the crap that the Nazis and Russians left behind was far nastier and still keeps killing people to this day.
As someone who emigrated from Europe, this whining and complaining by Europeans simply doesn't impress me.
That's the summary. Keep reading for the detailed argument.
If you had actually read the complaint, you'd know that there is no more "detailed argument" in the report about the statistics. The entire "analysis" is limited to page 3, 20 lines of 12pt text, consisting of three paragraphs that repeat the above kind of statement for three different jobs, and a fourt paragraph making unsubstantiated claims of additional bias.
You are blowing smoke out of your ass and pretending you have read the report when you obviously haven't. You do that a lot.
The US is getting its payment now from letting Europe participate in all the US wars of aggression and let is deal with the immigrant flows they create
The borders and nations of the Middle East are the aftermath of European imperialism and European war mongering; they are on the doorsteps of Europe, they primarily supply oil to Europe. The US doesn't benefit from these wars, Europe does.
I suggest we help the invaded country by supplying advanced anti-aircraft missles. That will make the war soon too costly for the US to continue.
These wars are already too costly to the US, which is why as an American, I would like the US to withdraw from the Middle East and force the Europeans to clean up their own messes.
Europe doesn't need to ship arms to the Middle East in order to discourage the US from intervening; in fact, Europe already has a massive arms export business into those regions. It would be perfectly sufficient if European politicians didn't come begging on their knees to the US to intervene on their behalf.
As a platform, the main distinguishing feature of Twitter compared to other platforms is that its 140 character limit makes any kind of discussion impossible, and that it strongly favors social signaling and self-righteous indignation as the primary modes of communication.
I doubt advertisers want to see their products seen in such a divisive, biased, and angry environment as Twitter, and it isn't even useful for market research because its user population is so unrepresentative.

Yes, that's what I said when I left.
You should probably be committed actually.
Sadly, Go is both relatively inefficient and not all that expressive.

The mafia bribed politicians. The politicians were corrupt. English--you should try learning it some time.

I think Twitter is a honeypot of stupid, which makes it useful in my book.
If Twitter went away overnight a few hundred thousand rabid and confused people would be let loose to wreak havoc on other sites.

You mean the agents-provocateurs from the DNC that show up at Trump rallies with racist T-shirts and make a nuisance of themselves?
