When worked on Go projects, I found that I was far more likely to read library code to see how to use it than other languages I used. Cannot be too "fancy" is definitely a strength of Go as a programming language.
A comment there mentions the specific time that causes it:
I found that the crash problem occurs when the datetime is after 2017 Dec 02, 12:15am. The problem does not happen at 12:14am, but once the time goes past 12:15am, and I do a hard reset, the problem returns.
...the real question then, is what is special about 2017-12-02 00:15 ? It's not a leap day[1], there are no leap seconds, and nothing about the epoch timestamp stands out either. I'd love to read about the cause of this bug.
The reddit thread updated to recommend against adjusting clock. It suggests to turn off local notification for app that uses repeating notification, such as daily reminder.
The problem with the powers that be playing the ultra-nationalist card is that is difficult to stop playing; like gambling or burying corporate debt it might lead to short term gains, but sooner or later you have to pay. There are ample examples of ultra-nationalist states that have exploded, imploded, or withered on the vine; and none have lasted the distance with out some kind of revolution, quiet or otherwise. Things will get worse before they get better, this is definitely not the bottom of the barrel. You can tell the wise ones are already cashing in their chips and are exfiltrating their wealth. Loans that were once prime will become sub-prime once the capital has fled. These state financed, but often personally influenced, loans that are currently sub-prime; well...
If the price is good, I would assume customers will jump in and buy, they may even schedule their buy to align with this day, to celebrate this day or not doesn't matter imho.
+1 for right tool for the job. Also, I can imagine they have large amount code already there in C/C++ since this is the second deep learning system they designed.
and if you watch Jeff Dean's video, he mentioned more front end in other languages, Go is the only example and as the interest from internal.
