All thought is born of failure.
This has been happening in anthropic subreddits.
I have so many disagreements on goals for the language with Russ, but have been a fan since his early days of writing the regex package and the c-to-go conversion code. Glad to hear he will still contribute to the lang, and hoping for a bit different direction from the new leads.
How long until this is just a prompt?
You’re right. Backwards unfriendly is maybe a better way to say it.
min and max are common variable names so depending on the version of go and the scope you should expect min and max to mean different things.
No reason these functions couldn’t have been part of the stdlib.
breaks all my variables named min and max
tbh whenever I write one of these it makes me wonder if I can accomplish the same logic in a better way.
So I guess with new builtin functions we will be breaking backwards compatibility?
Are you kidding me? Why is this on the front page?
What happened to hn? Every third post is some random non-tech news I could have pulled from Reddit.
At a company with “flat team” aspirations it’s like this but the loudest juniors call the shots. Come in with 10 years exp in a language and get constant pushback on my suggestions because I’m new and unproven. After 2 years most of the loud ones that made all the decisions are gone and we’re stuck with something that doesn’t scale and needs to be rewritten because before end of quarter. Amazing how much tech debt is possible in this model.

I’m a staff engineer at a tech company but don’t have access to mentors that can guide me up into the higher levels of IC. I guess a distinguished engineer is what I’m looking for. I want to feel out what the track above me looks like in different companies, and what the day to day is like. I’d also like advice for how to navigate the increased income. I come from a family without money and am...
Why are we getting normal news here now?
Why is there a long form article here?
I assume this is here to discuss the mobile experience.
This is the new threat vector. AI copy pasta. Gonna make pen test research way more fun. Just describe the website you’re at and read the source code.
Yes and it’s completely arbitrary. My only point is there isn’t really anything new or interesting here, sadly.
Any representation of reality should not be confused with reality. The map is not the terrain. The menu is not the meal. -post-modern philosopherzzz
It’s true varying resolutions are stored and retrieved but all are a reduction of the inputs to some useful representation.
Surprise!! The human brain compresses all experience into low-res summaries. Full res is not possible. :D
I feel like we’re adding graph meta-modeling on top of Tony Hoare CSP. If these graphs were not dags we would be heading into cybernetics. I want to feel like this is novel but can’t escape the idea that the boundaries of a multi-way model are arbitrary.
It also seems like a natural next step for automata modeling.
Maybe I am missing the breakthrough.
Lol you think you are enlightened and you are part of the problem.
