There is basically only ever one country in the history of ever that has been able to do that

I guess you mean the British empire? Or Dutch? Maybe Spanish?

To be fair, you don't need to implement exceptions in golang because they already exist in the language, they're just called panics

It's actually pretty common for local payment systems to exist, it's not just Brazil. I've seen such systems in Europe, Asia, Africa and I'm sure they exist in other places I've never been to

If you’ve ever tried using type erasure for something more complicated than std::any or std::function, you’ve either written 100+ lines of easy-to-mess-up code or reached for a boilerplate-heavy library like Boost.TypeErasure or Folly.Poly

Or you just used void* and went on with your life

Are you calling an entire generation of programmers idiots? Do you think they didn't know about C, Smalltalk or Lisp? C++ was the most popular language in the 90s because it was the best tool for a lot of jobs back then, people chose to use it willingly. Arguing that it only got popular because of PR is delusional, it had already gotten popular long before it got any corporation money behind it

Or "high lede" in English

You're wrote those words using technology built in C++. Just saying

I always underline ш and write a line over т

Interesting. I think this style completely died out in Russia, I wasn't taught it and never really seen it outside of some old letters and documents. Interesting to hear it survived in Belarus

The Russian language itself comes from Old Bulgarian / Old Church Slavonic, as does Serbian and other "Slavic" languages.

That's some interesting nationalistic propaganda, never heard that one before

Human rights? Personal freedom? The entire structure of society? The economy? The political system? Laws? Modern views on morality? Even science itself was created by philosophy, what is knowledge and how to get it is a philosophical question, not a scientific one. Every time you interact with other human beings you're doing through the lens of what philosophy and humanities achieved in the last millenia

If I remember correctly, what finally broke the camel's back was the new API that Google introduced. But I may be wrong

Do you only consider fundamental research in maths or sciences worth pursuing? Do you even realise how much of your everyday life depends on the results of fundamental research in philosophy and humanities?

You need a steady supply of new grads to keep the research going. How many exactly is a different question, of course

At least, Google has the resources and the will to support all their implementations in the long run. I don't always agree with what they do there, but at least I can be sure that it will still work ten years from now. At some point it becomes more important than implementation details

The golang implementation of protobuf sucked historically (still does, but is improving) and gogo was an alternative that fixed a lot of problems and was nicer overall. Until its creator burned out and deprecated it. Chasing a constantly moving target that you have no control over is very taxing in the long run.

On the contrary, who else is going to fund fundamental research that is not immediately useful? Stuff that prints money will have no problem finding funding, looking at the greater picture is exactly what the government is supposed to do

After gogoproto I'm hesitant to depend on another non-standard implementation, getting off gogo was a pain. This thing may be better than the one from Google (gogo definitely was), but can we be sure that it will still be around in 10 years?

You really should check out the list of voters, you will be surprised who exactly voted "yes". The list can be found here: https://www.thatprivacyguy.com/blog/chat-control-the-415-who...

How many child abusers do you think there are out there?

Most infrastructure in Europe predates the EU by quite a bit

Even anatomically modern humans have gone through similar events several times in the history of our species, let alone our ancestors. Climate change itself will not be the end of humanity, but it may be the end of the current civilisation.

To be fair the situation with the Internet in deep rural Russia was never great. Not everyone lives in a city.

The plant will produce chips for intelligent power management

The company ... sought to capitalise on the massive AI investment boom

These chips are probably very useful and important, but I don't see what they have to do with AI. Does everything need to have the word AI these days?

The revolution against the rich will be led by poor precariats armed with robots

If anything, robots will make rich people richer and their position more secure. Once again, you're hoping for a technological solution to non-technological problems

But not lagers, I think

No

Yeast are not bacteria, though

Because large scale production is generally more scalable and efficient

Rooftop solar is an example of small scale decentralized energy production, maximum efficiency is not the only relevant metric.

And you probably don't want dozens of "microreactors" scattered across cities

Why not? If they're considered safe and pass all inspections, what's the problem?

Yes, it is an object now, at least in my book. Public/private is less important, there are examples of OOP systems with private data being optional or non-existent at all, for example in Python.

Your example lacks data. An object is the combination of data and code manipulating the data with some syntactic sugar on top
