I know that's my point exactly.
It was definitely not as widespread and explosive as Gutenbergs printing press though. The number of characters is two orders of magnitude smaller and cuts down the manual labor far more effectively. You can't argue against that.
Woodblock printing was in use long after the invention of movable type because of that.

> you can "understand" them quicker in Kotlin, but you can't change how they work or use them to implement a new structure.

I'm not sure that extension methods are a particularly fitting example here.

Scala adds a lot of boilerplate for — in my view — very little gain. Of course, Scala's extension methods are actually a special case for implicit conversions; yet, the Scala we write today in my experience tends to avoid implicit conversions per se.

E.g., I'd rather be explicit about a type conversion when that is what I want to achieve: for instance, I'd rather read `javaListMethod(mySeq.asJava)` than `javaListMethod(mySeq.asJava)`. Thus, I'd rather have a first-class construct for extension methods rather than having to write `implicit class RichSeq(val s: Seq) extends AnyVal { def asJava = ... }`

In this case I do prefer Kotlin.
Whoa.. way more vegan hackers than I ever imagined!
If I couldn't find a job writing Scala or OCaml or F# (all of which I'd consider better options for rest-ish backends) then I'd look for one writing Rust.

As I got more into this kind of language I found that the language tools gave me very strict isolation, which lowered the value of separating everything at the process level. So I've shifted towards a more monolithic style of architecture.
Side projects are not mandatory, don't feel bad about not doing any if you can't.

Also, not all learning or your spare time has to be related to programming. Take a hobby that takes your mind off coding completely (I suppose your baby will take care of this :)). You know what they say: "you can't miss something if you never go away". It truly helps to disconnect now and then.
Could the timing of this be something to do with Rambus/RDRAM patents expiring? RDRAM made it to market in the late 90s, so relevant patents could conceivably be from ~1995-1996, and would be expiring around now. I seem to remember QDR being mentioned in the context of RDRAM back in the day (although the stuff that shipped only ever used DDR tech). Or have all the major players already licensed those patents years ago and squeezed out the tech? Or is that 20-year-old tech pretty much obsolete in today's context anyway?

The problem with companies getting involved in social issues is that social issues take a degree of tact, planning and prior-research. You can't just wade in and play with peoples lives.

Good on them for trying - and I hope they don't feel burned by it - but there's a reason public entities and charities are better placed to addressed these kinds of problems, even if they're not well resourced for it. Hopefully they'll continue to refine how they approach it.

How blockchain tech could change the way we do business
Exactly. I've started learning Japanese less than two years ago, and with some determination and a tool that supports efficient memorization (thank you http://www.wanikani.com) the writing system starts to 'click' once you've reached about 500 Kanji, which took me less than 2 years on a casual schedule. From there, recognizing and learning new words that are a combination of these 500 Kanji starts to come almost automatically (meaning, and reading). Latin languages have the same thing to some extent, but much less so, some words are composed by combining other words, but most things have their own proper noun which can only be remembered by rote memorization. For example the word 'swan' would be 「白鳥」 in Japanese, which would literally translate to (and is pronounced as) 'white bird'. Japanese, and I guess also Chinese, is full of these words.

I found the article narrow-minded and short-sighted, and can only assume the author never spent any effort learning a logographic language. I recognize the sentiment from back when I just started learning Kanji, but it doesn't take too long before your brain seems to 'rewire' for the different way to write, recognize and compose words, and you start to see the benefits.

Pretty great article. I've thought alot about these issues aswell. The tension between the two types is difficult to deal with and I don't really know any solution, apart from mutual respect.

My characterisation of the two types would actually reverse the top-down/bottom-up labels: type-A's seem to be dithering around in the details, trying to assemble something larger, while type-B's get the big picture, but loose focus as they zoom in on the details. In practice this explains the outward appearance: type-A's obsession with getting the plan right (because they are chronically lost), and type-B's rapid tinkering (because they never know if their crazy idea is going to work or not).

The two types struggle to connect: type-A just sees the B as a big mess, and type-B sees the A as technically correct but missing the point entirely.

It's funny that most of the arguments people make for retaining old languages and writing systems are "so we can read old literature or perpetuate old cultures". Surely if everyone used the same language, that would have the opposite effect and open up far more writing to more people - Chinese people could read Shakespeare. Translators would only have to convert from each old language to the lingua franca, so Hebrew speakers could read Confucius too. That's an O(n) task instead of the O(n^2) that we currently have.

If you read the abstract (I'm not saying you didn't), you'll see that this is what they are saying.

England was more stable at this time so it was less dangerous for them to train peasants to fight.
I guess pinyin is more like the German tv synchronizing English series. I live in the Netherlands, where we have subtitles on English shows and films, because that is much cheaper. So we're used to English, we all speak English. We have German tv channels here as well, and especially back in the 70s and 80s, when there were only six channels on tv, that was annoying and kind of funny. Maybe Germans growing up with these German voices makes you ignorant about the fact that what you see and what you hear does not match, but for everybody else it's absolutely clear. I see this on Spanish tv as well.

But I disagree with you "comparable ridiculous English word". The thing is that any foreigner can read it, look it up, type it on a keyboard, and pronounce it, probably remember it with a little effort and then use it at parties or to impress people. But well, I guess I'm biased from my "roman" point of view, and maybe Asian people have the same "fun" with that strange Chinese character?

As parent mentions, there are things that pinyin doesn't encode, such as temporal spacing.

Even in English we tend to opt for spelling homophones different. Witch and which, for example.
My complain with nil in Go is that there are different kinds of it as a nil pointer to a struct is not equal to a nil pointer of the interface it implements and code like https://play.golang.org/p/NwKvIztXwP prints false.

This is the reason for the rule of always returning error type in Go, not a pointer to detailed struct error. That leads to an ugly code when a check for non-nil err is followed by a cast.
Radicals are just a system which was invented to look up characters in dictionaries, so a character is often composed of components with different functions (e.g. sound component or meaning component) and one of those components can be the radical.

If you're going to spoit nonsense about how writing systems hold people back, you might as well attack Japanese, since its use of the same characters is much more complicated. Chinese is pretty simple: one character, one syllable, one pronunciation. Japanese kanji? One character, many pronunciations, context-sensitive.

Still, what you are doing is inherently racy. The very moment you pass the PIDs to your program, they can already be gone and reused. You can end up kill()ing a different PID. I don't think you can use this for anything serious.

It's definitely hyperbole, but the point still stands. Back when I used Gulp, I've run into quite a few situations where a particular package I wanted to use didn't support Gulp, but did have CLI support. And even if both were supported, adding a line to package.json was faster and simpler than using the gulp approach.

That said, I have nothing against Gulp and it's quite possible I might use it in the future. For example, the approach of using npm scripts can be problematic if you need to work on different operating systems. And I'm sure there are plenty of cases where the complexity is best managed with Gulp or its ilk.

AWS just announced Amazon Certificate Manager service, free SSL/TLS certs for assets hosted on AWS[1]. It makes sense to ask trust roots to add Amazon own certs.

[1] https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-aws-certificate-manager...
Eventually, once the roots are trusted natively in enough systems, dropping the cross-signed root, making handshakes smaller and path-building simpler. Also some of their roots are stronger than the cross-signer, so when/if the cross-signer becomes too weak and gets dropped, the better Amazon roots will stay.

>or even guess the meaning of words when you see them

That's the thing I don't get. You may be able to guess the words, but would the characters allow you to pronounce it? In English, and most other languages, you can spell your way through pronouncing a word, even without knowing it's meaning. Is that possible in Chinese or Japanese?

It also seems like you would need to be constantly updating computers to allow them of deal with new characters.

The argument that "these characters aren't widely used" isn't really helpful. The characters either exists or they don't. Because you might need it in the future means that you need to deal with it's existence. X isn't a widely used letter in many language, so should we just throw it aside? In case of the biang it might be more akin to throwing out a word, because it's rarely used, but still.

As someone who has taught themselves Chinese (lower intermediate level) as an adult, I agree with your assesement.

An equivalent premise to this author's would be to say that the inconsistent spelling and grammar of English is a millstone around its neck. The mention of the 'character amnesia' issue is similar to the same drop in spelling ability we see in Western countries amongst people who primarily write using computers.

I initially learnt simplified characters as I was travelling mostly to the mainlaind for work. Later, when I was doing more work in Taiwan, I picked up the traditional characters. It is not difficult as only some of the characters changed, and mostly it is the key radical that was simplified (like the speach radical 言) or else common characters like the default measure character 个, so once you learn these it is fairly simple to shift between the two (at least for reading).

As others have noted in these comments, pinyin is not a substitute as it is not a 1-1 mapping. That is part of the reason why spoken Chinese differs from written Chinese, being less concise and more verbose to impart additional information to assist with the decoding from sounds back to meaning.
