> I do think he's remarkably unconcerned about other people's problems.

With respect to this and the blog post on poverty I cannot agree.

Thiel has been complaining that outside of Silicon Valley people are not getting wealthier for at least a decade and a half. There's even a video in 2008 where he angrily accuses Eric Schmidt of telling people to eat iPhones. If anything he is remarkably concerned with other people's problems compared to his contemporaries.

The common belief in many wealthy circles is that everything is progressing onwards and upwards (look at any blog posts by Peter Diamandis). Unfortunately this is utterly afactual when you subtract computation and its effects. The average person's intuition is actually correct about the economy and the communities of the wealthy are basically self constructed Potemkin villages.

The Role of Higher Education in Entrepreneurship
So again you are arguing that they are trying really hard. What does that have to do with whether or not this generation is above the trend-line or not?
Anyone have any idea what this is saying? All I get out of it is that The Princeton Review's list and the U.S. News and World Report's list of entrepreneurial schools were totally different and apparently the author has no idea why.
Rust has a unique design that would be rather difficult to map other languages efficiently to, unless you simply used it as as complicated assembly language, in which case why not just use LLVM?

Most obviously you cannot map Javascript or Java methods or variables directly to Rust because these languages don't have anything like the borrow checker. You could come up with a way to work around that, but then why target Rust at all?

I think there's a deeper problem with your proposal though, which is - why? I know you try and answer that in the article but I found it unconvincing. The JVM was explicitly designed to solve the problem you're trying to solve, as you clearly know, so a good starting point would be to much more thoroughly analyse why you aren't satisfied with it.

You say you have to "shoulder the runtime overhead of a garbage collector" but then name lots of languages you want to compile to Rust, all of which assume and require the presence of a garbage collector. Then later you talk about needing a good GC written in Rust. Well ... why? If you're gonna have to provide a GC anyway for practically every modern language, then the runtime overhead of this will be paid no matter what.

Having studied the JVM quite extensively, I don't see much in it that's obviously wrong or could be done wildly better, but I see a lot that's done right. If you re-walk that path, you will probably end up reinventing the wheel.
> Although, am I reading correctly that you are considering HN to be "without anonymity"?

No. Sorry if unclear. I categorise HN accounts as pseudonymous with optional real life names.

> In the current "persistent pseudonymous" system, what do you think constitutes a "fake account"?

What would annoy me is real sockpuppet accounts, controlling more than one account and using it to

* upvote ones own comments and postings

* astroturf

* using it as a strawman to defame opponents (i.e. by running a sock puppet account that seemingly supports some cases while posting bad arguments for that case etc.)

* etc

Personally I have nothing against using multiple accounts as long as there is a reason (i.e. someone has an account with full name and another that they use when they want to post or comment something that they do not want to reflect back on their real life persona, family and workplace.)
I really doubt that - support for HTTP/2 is generally still in its infancy, and web servers supporting it haven't made it into LTS releases of most distros yet.

I get that impression from the stats. They say the autopilot is ok if you keep an eye on it but in the real world people won't always - I think the guy who died was watching a movie.

On the other hand about 1 million people die each year in driving accidents so if by winging it a bit you can stop that a year earlier it's a million lives saved vs maybe <10 autonomous deaths in the research phase.
Rust most probably will be getting hooks that make it possible to safely integrate efficient GCs. Writing a safe nonconservative GC for rust has already been done, and once these hooks are in place it should be possible to write a good GC. Though for a codegenned language on top of rust you may not need these hooks.

https://github.com/mystor/rust-callcc is callcc for Rust. Technically abuses a feature for a purpose it was explicitly not intended for, but meh :)

callcc and gc are usually not useful operations in rust. That doesn't mean that its not possible to implement them. The implementation might be annoying to use, but of you are codegenning to rust this doesn't matter.

Yes, some semantics won't copy over. I feel like most would though. Those that don't can often be emulated at the lower level with enough codegen.

Dear Imgui is absolutely awesome, first time in my life where I'm actually enjoying writing UI code. AFAIK it was an intentional (and IMHO good) design decision to not tie the API to the C++ std library, this makes imgui more widely usable, for instance in code bases that also don't use the STL, exceptions or RTTI (and that's quite common in the game development world), it also makes it easier to write wrappers for other languages.

The quality of the content on TV seems to have been in a steady decline for many years.

Looking at the graph in the article, ad spending on TV is at an all time high, it has just plateaued. So maybe revenue isn't the issue, maybe quality is.

It my guess that the TV networks somehow believed that if you made X amount of dollars on one channel, then adding a second channel would make you twice that amount. Networks that had one or two stations 15 years ago, now have 8 or 10. Rather than increasing profit, they are left with roughly the same amount of revenue, but they have to spend it on content for many more channels. Not wanting to close channels, networks started to produce cheaper programs, "reality" TV mostly. Meanwhile you can't buy a good, independent news channel, even if you're willing to pay.

TV can blame streaming, Youtube, the internet in general, but that's not what's "killing" TV. I believe it's the quality of the content that's the issue for TV.

The main integration points between compilers and GCs are pointer maps and write/read barriers. I don't see a good way to do a GC-as-a-library given the need for the GC to contribute barrier code, which has to be tightly optimised. That's one reason Java/.NET use JIT compilers: there's not yet any one-size-fits-all GC algorithm, and all the best ones need tight compiler integration, so allowing you to pick your GC on the command line and then that impacts how the code is compiled represents a way to square the circle.
That was exactly my point. Sorry that I was unclear.

Honest question since two people read my post that way, I obviously was unclear, but where?

And yet Rust, with its famously awkward borrow checker, isn't cumbersome at all? I find this set of priorities a little odd.

But if you want less verbosity, you can write your compiler in Kotlin instead. There's no requirement that Truffle languages be written in Java, they just do it that way because Java gives closest control over the bytecode which is generated. But Kotlin generates bytecode that's very similar to what Java creates, so you could use it and get a more modern syntax.

At any rate, I can guarantee you that adjusting an existing language to be less verbose or more to your liking is a lot less effort than building an entire ecosystem of compilers that try to use Rust as their lingua-franca, given that Rust was never designed for this task.
"Modern" in the context of the article means "after the invention and widespread use of explosives," which lead to the kind of physical brain injuries discussed in the article.

It's not that writing a GC is impossible - of course it is doable. The issue is that objects written in this hypothetical language will always make use of the GC because they do not have lifetime information in the first place. So the question arises naturally: why bother compiling to Rust if you have to avoid the borrow checker anyway?

So...it's a screen, a keyboard, and a battery? Am I getting that right?

I find it interesting that they went from a phone dock to the exact opposite of a phone dock. Like, a 100% pivot. There isn't even an optional way to attach the phone to the thing. It just has to be on a firm surface. Maybe one of the backer tiers should include duct tape. So, for example, if you wanted to leave a secondary phone permanently attached to this, you'd still have to disconnect it to move the thing or put it in a backpack or anything like that. Not sure how to refer to it. I'm not calling it a superbook since it's literally not a *book. It's some kind of combined peripheral.

Do people understand that this isn't going to do anything when a phone isn't connected to it?

Yup, there's no doubt that it's awesome that ImGui doesn't force you to use some particular library.

But for people already using STL and integrating ImGui with their codebase, using STL with ImGui may be somewhat difficult and that's why I wrote the article about things that worked for me. :)
In the past we used icinga at Zalando and it scaled for us to 40k checks, after that we got huge latency problems. We use now zmon https://github.com/zalando/zmon/ which is really great, because it scales the checks, the graph database is kairosdb on top of Cassandra, which also scales and even creating alerts can be automated and also added by development teams themselves and you can easily build team dashboards and reuse checks/alerts and filter to your entities.
Influxdb was a nice try, but clustering was very unstable in the beginning (tried with 0.7 and 0.8). If you don't want to be the monitoring configurator for your organization (application monitoring should also be created and maintained), I highly recommend to use zmon ( maybe Prometheus can also help). There is also a check to query Prometheus in zmon.

I really hope for that. Working with Unix tools a lot, I appreciate these programs, that were already useful over thirty years ago.

The developer mindset needs to change as well. I seldom here people wondering about the sheer computing power of the systems they use.

Many developers also seem to get a kick out of building complex systems (with (most of the time too) many abstraction layers burning cpu cycles) - because they seem to believe building complex things somehow means having control over complexity - but I'm not sure about that.

It's not impossible to guarantee that a system has sufficient memory for all possible inputs. Look at high stakes embedded software development. You need more control than you get as an application on a desktop computer but there's nothing inherent about finite state machines that make them vulnerable.
Note that they bury an important concept deeper in the article:

The new report embraces these trends, predicting an end to traditional scaling—the shrinking of chip features—by the early 2020’s. But the idea that we’re now facing an end to Moore’s Law “is completely wrong,” Gargini says. ... If a company really wanted to, Gargini says, it could continue to make transistors smaller well into the 2020s, “but it’s more economic to go 3-D. That’s the message we wanted to send.”
I realize I am biased, but I don't get it. Notepad++ and other tools are not designed around viewing log files. They are text editors. People use tools like Notepad++ to view log files because, traditionally, there hasn't been anything better.

Remote access is a good example. I am actually working right now on getting tail for remote servers working in [redacted]. FTP tailing a file is a special feature because you do not want to redownload a 1GB file every 3 seconds. The idea of a forward read-only file is a special concept. If I am using Notepad++ as a text editor, I want it to download the whole file because there may be important changes to the beginning of the document. If I am using it as a log viewer, then I need to provide a special configuration to the FTP agent. Not impossible, but the overlap in behaviour for the tool can be confusing. The additional configuration makes it harder when using it as a text editor and harder when using it as a log viewer. It starts to make the tool less useful for both tasks.

Now add additional features like grep, merging files, very large files (4 GB+), etc and it becomes clear that Notepad++ is a text editor. It is a fantastic tool, but not fit for every task.

This is lacking detail about the exact use case but either one of:

- use gitlab.com with private repos for free

- install from source to skip omnibus. I've been updating ours for a couple years now and it's always been simple. Bonus is that if you need a quick patch or even the occasional bespoke tweak you've got the git repo right there which has been invaluable.

- githost.io is a thing (contemplating migrating to it nonetheless because GitLab has really come so far that we don't need much patches anymore)

Even your CPU accepts firmware updates - in the form of microcode updates. There is no ROM any more :/ It wouldn't fix much either - find a bug/vuln in the ROM and those devices are owned "for life", since they can't be patched.
