I think they're trying to own a phrase "experience age" "experience 2.0" etc.
That's so biased that it gives me the urge to puke.

The Julia team can be blamed for these critics. Full stop.

That said, obviously they are working hard and well! Obviously a critic of a language is not a critic of its conceptors! However the conceptors are to blame and they are the one who can change the language for the better. Not acknowleging it is plain wrong and won't help.

Not receiving support is a problem of Julia. It might be unfair, but this is the fucking fact. Finding excuses (assuming this is really a problem) won't help either!

Oh and guess what? Julia will always be younger than C, Python and co. so what you say about 1.0 and stuff is just misleading. Again, you are looking for excuses: the guy is comparing today's Julia to today's languages. If I invented a new language, the first critique could be "oh that new language does not even have a standard lib" that woyld be true and fair!

Regarding the last sentence, analysing a language with that much attention is "helping". And telling the author to shut up because he has not providing any code is fucking moronic. Does a referee in the olympuc games need to run as fast as the one it judges to provide an accurate judgement?

I think that with the progress of automatic translation and interpretation (which is not perfect now, but is likely to progress -- I can't imagine all the current progress in machine learning not being also applied to automatic translation) as well, learning a foreign language for practical reasons could also become useless.

No lingua franca anymore...
Good point. I do read that lately this 'brand building' is the key value offered by ad vendors. Although I am not so sure of its effectiveness (ROI), maybe its just a sales tactic in response to a dying business model (PPP & PPC). Yet, this is another subject.
I agree with you, and English is not my primary language (nor is it an official language of my country).

The medievals had Latin. We have English, and people do have incentive to learn English (while still keeping their regional languages) because almost all knowledge is available in English on the internet.

But we see everywhere efforts to "localize" everything from English to other languages, and this is ridiculous. Wikipedia in languages other than English is awful for almost all topics, websites I visit for the first time keep showing me badly-translated versions of their primary English content and I can't get MDN documentation to be shown to be in English, instead of the horrible translations made by voluntary people they automatically show to me.

I couldn't agree more! As a German, all my friends always ask me why my phone is in English and they just won't understand how much more the "English Internet" has to offer.

Just the other day, we had to look up something for our school and I simply sumerized the first few lines of the English Wikipedia article and my teacher was amazed how quickly I got those information.

Furthermore, English allows you to see topics from many different views – people from all over the world express their opinions which is much more then most German Jornalist find relevant/agree with.
> But to take your idea just one step further, once you've opened up all wifi for the general publics consumption (what a renaissance for wired networking!)

I think this requires clarification - I don't mean no business should ever use wifi. I mean businesses like telephone companies shouldn't be using to augment their networks. Obviously offices and the like need secure wireless networking that normal hardware can connect to.

> Why is it wrong to use unlicensed spectrum for private gain

Maybe with my above correction this isn't needed, but in cities the 2.4ghz channel is loaded to death and in a few years the 5ghz channel will be the same. All I'm objecting to are these closed commercial networks from people who should be paying for the spectrum bunging up the open one the rest of us use. My city is soaked with a wifi network that is closed to everyone except the customers of a telco. If your primary business is providing network connectivity, perhaps you should pay for the finite resource you use.
Thanks for the laugh, that was well done.

In our case, we were building our own nginx anyways, so the fix was relatively simple to just statically link it against libressl.

This only affects the nginx we use on the frontend for SSL termination and the rest of the OS remains unaffected, linking against the OS OpenSSL.

Oracle isn't Goodwill
Yeah, I agree with the other commenters that "serverless" is a pretty silly way to describe something that involves lots and lots of servers.

If you told me you created a "serverless app" or your app had a "serverless architecture" I would think it either had no off-device communication, or only peer-to-peer communication.

That said, I totally understand the reasoning behind calling a backend composed of lots of 3rd-party services "serverless". You're not doing as much of the work of maintaining a traditional server-side app. And if you just have a few Lambda functions that hook into data stores you don't have to think about anything that resembles a server in a more traditional sense.

The "serverless" term is kind of brilliant from a marketing perspective. It's ambiguous, a little confusing, and really just wrong. People will love to point out how stupid it is. And that means they'll think about it, and remember it, and tell other people about it. And then they'll get used to it and it won't seem wrong or stupid - it'll just be the way you describe these kinds of systems.

>On a related note: why are we putting up with other languages anyway? I've been asking myself for a long time why we (as in humanity) don't try to standardize on a language.

Because we value our languages and cultures, thank you very much?

Especially if you happened to be born a native English speaking, and you propose this from that vantage point, it comes as borderline racist, and reminds me of this except from Bernard Shaw's Julius Caesar:

"Pardon him, Theodotus: he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature."

English the language of the internet? It is perhaps the language of YOUR internet. The Chinese internet is as big -- and there's the Indian internet, the Spanish speaking internet, and tons more besides.

Why not just get rid of other cultures too, and just keep anglo-saxon culture?

Imagine how easier things could be then, not only we'll have one language, but we could all relate to the same stuff...

Oh, and about those English -- it's dominance in the last centuries is just a historical accident, caused by British and then US power. Even the very term used to describe such a phenomenon, "lingua franca" is not English. The main language used to be Greek, then Latin, then French and English, etc. And that's mostly on the Western part of the world (Europe, US etc) -- that westerners tend to think it's the whole world, but it's hardly 10-20% of the global population. The "lingua franca" could be again very different in 1 or 2 centuries...
I've been on OSX for five years but this year switched back to Windows 10 with a new surface book. Yes took some adjustment, but now I find it just fine for building python webapps with posgresql backends. Cygwin using mobaxterm pro is nice, all the jetbrains IDE's work fine on windows, and even powershell ISE is interesting.
I'm a Spanish native speaker and I think that one of the pros of English is that it's simpler. English grammar is much easier. Also English is the main language of scientific publications and the most used language on the Internet.

I think that a language is just a tool and I would evaluate it only by it's effectiveneness for sharing ideas.
I'm not sure we can accurately gauge this number. A large part of the internet and usage of technology (especially programming) are all in English. I would be shocked if a majority of the people in the world didn't know at least some English and if more people could speak English.

Most of these statistics are always the primary language of the people. But I don't think that's a clear indication on how many can actually speak with each different language.

I don't see why the debugging had to take place on 32bit binary. From experience, the debugger disassembly for 64bit is much more "readable" - as in much of the symbols called are spelled out a lot more, and accessing function arguments are much much more friendly - "po $arg1" instead of register math.

Hopper is capable of parsing 64bit disassembly and create pseudo code from that as well, if you need it.

Anything that publishes content for public consumption to get advertising revenue is a media company. Google publishes search results to get ads. Facebook published your information for ads. Twitter publishes your tweets for ads.

As a kid, I had a set of chores I was expected and required to do. Then there were chores I could do, above and beyond my normal list of chores, that I would be paid for. I had no allowance whatsoever.

I think this method is best. In addition to teaching me to be industrious and to spend my
hard-earned money wisely, it had the (probably unexpected) side benefit of teaching me to negotiate raises. Upon deciding that the pay wasn't worth the labor involved (when I could mow neighbors' yards instead for more money), I mentioned this. My mom, who is in management, replied, "Well, what do you think these are worth, then?" And then we negotiated to a mutually-acceptable set of numbers. This probably happened again after I got my first part-time job at 15.

Extra chores, at a couple dollars each, are how I paid for my own NES and the handful of games I had as a kid, since my parents didn't buy me video games. You had better believe I took immaculate care of them.

He's not lying about the role of weird build pipelines in making it harder to dive into a project (though it may not be the point he intended to make). Simplicity & repeatability yields surprising dividends.
I prefer to use my regional language when talking to people in my region, and doing local transactions, conversations and contracts in my region, while using English to browse on the internet and use any kind of software.

I think it is much more of an insult to keep things as they are, where developers everywhere try to translate software and websites to my regional language, and the result is catastrophic. The level of the translations from English to Portuguese I'm forced to read on the internet is a terrible insult to Portuguese, a última flor do Lácio, inculta e bela, it is the horror, the horror.
AOL Reader was what I settled on as well after Google Reader shutdown. I was never a power user so AOL Reader feels like a perfect replacement for Google Reader's feature set. It can be a bit flaky at times with managing read state, though that seems to be a UI issue that resets itself fairly quickly.

Oh man, no wonder this sounded familiar! This is the thing my older brother was playing all the time a year or two ago on his Xbox 250 or whatever. He's got a PS now though so I imagine he doesn't play it much anymore anyway. He was like "hey look, this is programming just like what you do!" and yeah I could see some similarities. It was kind of neat I suppose.
Thank you. It appears I was wrong.

It't not about making "more", it's about making "better", not leaving everything up to chance.

See the movie Gattaca, for an example.
Maybe it's just me but I feel that it was also much easier to get to actually speak to someone on the phone back then. We usually knew when we could reach someone and call during those timeframes. If we didn't get a reply we knew they were out and call the next day. Nowadays it's much more rare to get an answer when calling a mobile phone. Either the person has left it in the next room or it's out of battery, it's in silent mode and the person doesn't hear it, etc. So people usually tend to resort to text messages, which is a highly ineffective way to communicate in many situations.

Also old telephones never took the initiative to call someone from their owner's pocket ;)
It's not as simple as "idiot Christians". You have to also consider the ethics of the situation. Would it be ethical to grow an embryo such that it is a fully grown human child for experimentation? I would say the answer to that is a clear no. Is it okay to do experiments on a few week old embryo? I would say yes. Thus, there's a point in between the two extremes where something ethical becomes unethical, and we should hold researchers accountable for it.
>Instead of having a bunch of barely connected Internets walled off by language, why not standardize language and have one global venue of communication, where everyone can work together?

Because I don't want a huge monoculture, and the end goal is not to have "everyone work together in one way" (which sounds like something from the Third Reich), but to let a thousand flowers bloom.

I think he means when certain Telcoms blanket entire cities with Wi-Fi in the unlicensed spectrum which at scale makes everyone else's connection worse. I have no problem with blanketing cities with internet access but I think commercial wireless should have their own frequency -- which would actually be good for them since they would be mostly alone in the space and could get a frequency which is better suited to large scale coverage.
Chrome was no longer accessing my site via http/2 – turns out that the docker nginx image has OpenSSL 1.0.1k. I switched to the Alpine image and that fixed it – a few nginx.conf changes needed, notably to change the user from www-data to 'nginx'. UID is 100 and GID is 101, which differs from the non-Alpine image.
One thing I have learned in this life: the more you cater to the lowest common denominator in society, the more everyone plays by their rules.

That post is more than a year old. Caddy has since had more than 70 contributors and > 1K commits.

Based on my experience, replacing nginx (in my case acting as a fairly simple reverse proxy for rails) with Caddy wasn't significantly harder than compiling a custom nginx. If you have a complex configuration, YMMV. I'm definitely not suggesting using Caddy as a drop-in replacement for your existing production web server without further testing. That being said, getting rid of a OpenSSL dependency isn't a bad thing.

> Calling ad blocking to prevent malware infection a BS excuse is ridiculous.

There are other (quite simple) plugins to stop any malware from running (like noscript, etc) while at the same time, not having an adblocker even installed. The two are not mutually inclusive. Thus, it isn't ridiculous in the least. It's actually ridiculous to imply that if you have one, you must have the other.

More importantly, these days, you only find malware ads (consistently) on real shady sites. When it makes it to big reputable sites, it actually makes the news because of how rare it has been. There are dozens of other ways to get malware (software downloads, etc) but you don't see people ceasing to download anything off the entire internet, they take a risk because they want the product. The risk is virtually identical -- it depends on where you go and what you do.

> Ads are being used to distribute malware through reputable sites

Sure, that has happened. But it's rare and again, it makes the news when it happens because of how rare it is. You make it sound like reddit.com, facebook.com or news.google.com serves up malware every other day. That just isn't the case. Not even close.
