I would never trust Microsoft. Their next drama is revoking Office 2019 perpetual licenses https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRnno9VIZx0. It never ends with them because they know they have you by the balls.

I trust them on a daily basis. No issues thus far..

You should post the link to that. Police chases costing people’s lives is an awful thing, anybody that’s ever seen a cop driving 130mph because they think they’re Knight Rider might want to donate.

How is it not the motorcyclist’s fault? He voluntarily chose to get into a chase with them instead of obeying traffic laws.

High speed pursuits are a severe public safety hazard at best and extrajudicial murder at worst. The municipalities that ban them do so under the notion that given a choice between not chasing someone and risking the lives of every passenger in the car, other motorists, the police, and pedestrians, not chasing them makes more sense legally. An officer seeing what they believe to be a busted tail light does not actually constitute sufficient cause to execute a pedestrian crossing the street eleven blocks away.

Report it. GFM has rules around fundraising around crimes.

so make your own and let's see how you do

I am actually working on my own language, and getting something better than Go is actually not that difficult!

The hard part about making a language is creating the stdlib and tooling and support for the language, but actually creating a language itself that has more features and better features than go can be done by a single person in a few months or a year probably, depending on how much experience they have.

Generics specifically are a great example here. A single person can implement a language with go-level generics fairly easily.

Have you?

I frankly don't buy into this trope that a lack of monetary cost should shield something from criticism. Anything created by humans for other humans, especially tools meant for getting work done, should certainly be open to evaluation/judgement/critcism, regardless of whether the creator chooses to charge for it.

And it's not like Golang is some freshman student's hobby project; it was created by one of the world's largest tech companies, by people with a strong pedigree in programming language design.

it's not about the design yet stock plunged 6% for no reason then?

stock has been going down all year, drop was just bump coming back down

markets are volatile, 6% on one ticker is noise

You mean all vpn protocols? Otherwise in the next step you'll call to ban of all dedicated servers, vpses and compute from hyperscalers.

Also make sure to block all OSes allowing to install apps from outside the app store, lest someone uses a private socks proxy on their free Cloudflare Worker account.

Make sure to ban/backdoor all the encryption protocols so the traffic not yet blocked can be analysed. And ban all free OSes or someone will write a "black market" encryption/communication protocol.

There's insanity in your request and it needs to be called out.

You but them smartphones, tables, laptops, and internet access and then complain there is too much access?

Yeah, why should it not be desireble to give them access to the good properties of such devices and the internet?

What are the good properties that justify giving kids smart phones?

How much of your current knowledge would you simply lack were it not for the Internet?

It is trivial for a parent to gather materials for the kids without exposing them to billions of strangers/companies with who knows what intent toward them.

I think they've pulled ahead of Intel by a large margin

In market cap maybe but in total units sold? In importance?

~70% of PCs/servers sold have Intel chips in them.

only because China is at a point where they are producing technology and they don't want others stealing from them like they've been stealing for years

yeah but chaining is almost ubiquitous - found in js, ruby, python, rust, go, etc

But so are pipes, right? Bash, and the many variants, powershell, nushell... Not to mention the languages that implement them with slightly different symbols (|> in R for example).
