> like TypeScript; which has arguably far more powerful type system than Go.

"arguably".

Typescript is just a thin wrapper over javascript who doesnt have these types at all.


Wait, you can't be saying that TypeScript doesn't have a much more powerful type system than Go.

AGDTs, mapped types, conditional types, template literal types, partial higher-kinded types, and real inference on top of all that.

It had one of the most fully loaded type systems out there while the Go team was asking for community examples of where generics might be useful because they're not sure it might be worth it.


And yet its types are turning complete

It's just a uninformed hivemind comment written by someone lacking original thought.

If you are interested in the merits of golang, you should listen to someone who uses it.


I used it for years.

The school situation is indeed in serious problems.

I just read this piece the other day with countless witnesses from teachers in the US:

Not sure I want a black hole in my backyard ;-)

For all it's worth, there's no need to go black hole to explain the lack of visual observation. Objects that far from a star reflect very little if any light and would appear black to a black background.


Black holes are no more "dangerous" than other objects of equal mass.

If a black hole with a mass of, say, Ceres hit the Earth, it would not be particularly worse than if Ceres hit the Earth.


> If a black hole with a mass of, say, Ceres hit the Earth, it would not be particularly worse than if Ceres hit the Earth.

This equivalency is true for many aspects of orbital mechanics (depending on setup giving sufficient distance), but I don't believe that's true at all for a collision. Someone with more knowledge correct me, but a black hole with the mass of Ceres would be very tiny but also emitting a ton of radiation. The collision would be very different.


I more mean that the resulting moon-sized fragments of what used to be the earth would be equally devoid of life. I agree the physics might vary somewhat.

If the black hole had a mass more similar to a 0.5-mile asteroid...well, I'm not sure what would happen. Would it just punch a hole straight through the earth?


I’d love see a mini-Ceres about this streaming on Nebula.


cerial storytelling ftw ^^


Sort of. Ceres can't turn mass into energy at a ratio that makes fusion and fusion look pretty lame.

On the other hand taking 0.00016 of earths mass, turning it into a blackhole, and shooting it through the earth isn't likely to cause nearly the damage that Ceres (100x size of the dinosaur killing asteroid) ... unless you keep the velocity low enough that it stays inside the earth.


Increased yes, but not by a whole lot. See https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/CPU-p... and https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/CPU-p...

(I'm sure someone could dig up more recent graphs, but you get the idea).

In order to get more performance, your app needs to use multithreading.


It's already making us dumber.

Evolution follows the path of least resistance


FWIW, OBS is ~150 MB, not an electron app and actually open source.

> You have to understand, if user has 30 pieces of software, they have to update every day of the month. That is not a good overall user experience.

That's not an user issue tho, it's a "packaging and distribution of updates" issue which coincidentally has been solved for other OS:es using a package manager.


Getting used to changes is not something a package manager can help with.


Or a developer problem when they keep updating their apps every few days for no apparent reason..


That's only true if everyone starts at the very same moment in time. Of course that is not reality, and it works out well in practice.


> I've been wondering if anyone knows why there is no P2P protocol for mass live stream content in decent quality?

We had torrent client/streaming video players maybe 20 years ago already.

> Does anyone have knowledge on why it isn't a thing still though?

It is a thing, it seems you didn't do your research.

There's articles all over the interweb if you went and looked, such as

Seems you missed the "live" part.
