Inertia has a way of preserving value in a way that's easily overlooked. Consider the "save" icon - still commonly represented as a floppy disk even though there's an entire generation in the workforce that grew up without ever touching one.

It would almost cost more to change it (just in lost productivity) to be "correct" than it would be to just keep the association. I think the same is true for the editors.. changing the terminology would also mean changing a lot of mnemonics. Vim uses D and Y for kill (delete) and yank. C is already bound to another function, and there's an ambiguity there between "C"ut and "C"opy. (P is "P"aste, as you'd expect)

Just because you're unaware of the reasons for the design is not good enough reason to dismiss the UI design as "social signaling" and tar the whole of the userbase with that kind of accusation. It seems you have an axe to grind against those SmugEmacs(Lisp)Weenies[1] :)

I can write Perl. Okay-ish. But I can almost never read Perl. I mean, I can read my Perl, 75% of the time, but other people's Perl? Very difficult.

Managers (wisely) know that a large important project isn't (shouldn't be) built by one super-star programmer who then decides to leave for greener pastures, but that it's read, often times more than its written, by a team of people. Readability > Writability.

And so Perl was destined to "fail" in the corporate world, at the expense of more boring languages like Java/C#.

Of course there's exceptions and I'm sure there's 2-3 companies still out there that run Perl exclusively, but ultimately, it's a "bearded-loner-sitting-in-the-corner" language.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

>if you were using Python 10+ years ago, when Perl was more >popular, you would find that statement very surprising

I am not sure why do you correlate popularity with being 'institution-centric'. The thing is that the philosophy behind Python is very institution friendly (where institution can be academic or enterprise) and Perl's philosophy appeals to a very specific hackers subculture, but none of that has anything to do with popularity.

Perl was popular because it sucked less than the alternatives for CGI 20 years ago. Python benefits from its vast set of libraries to the point that sometimes feels more like a Lego language rather than that a general purpose programming language. Again, I don't see the correlation of that with the fact that might be coder or institution centric.
An entire blog about hypothetical things that could happen while playing Pokémon Go, but didn't.

Here's the important part of this agitation piece:

"I spent less than 20 minutes outside. Five of those minutes were spent enjoying the game. One of those minutes I spent trying to look as pleasant and nonthreatening as possible as I walked past a somewhat visibly disturbed white woman on her way to the bus stop. I spent the other 14 minutes being distracted from the game by thoughts of the countless Black Men who have had the police called on them because they looked “suspicious” or wondering what a second amendment exercising individual might do if I walked past their window a 3rd or 4th time in search of a Jigglypuff."

So the "death sentence" in the title refers to the author's speculations triggered by a "white woman on her way to the bus stop". Perhaps she thought a dude continually looking at his phone would bump into her accidentally. Perhaps that is just her facial expression.

People need to give each other some benefit of doubt and not aggressively try to interpret all kinds of cues.

Central servers are not required for contactless cards. The card itself holds the current balance inside a tamper-proof secure element, and it's updated with every ride.

A central server can be used for things like web-based reloads and auditing, complementing the system... but it's entirely possible for a terminal to remain in offline-mode and just check-in at the end of the day to get any pending messages and upload logs. This is why it takes longer to reload/unblock a SF Clipper card using a reader in a bus (offline mode) as opposed to at a BART turnstile (online mode).

> e.g. Non-empty lists form a semigroup.

If I take everyone's meanings correctly, what you describe (a monoid with the identity removed) is different from what cottonseed (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12110936) describes, which is a monoid with the identity forgotten. That is, it's still there, but we don't require it to be there axiomatically.

Note that every monoid is a semigroup (because it satisfies a stronger collection of axioms), but not every monoid with identity removed is a semigroup (because it's possible to combine two non-identity elements to get the identity element): consider, for example, the integers without 0.

>My problem is that I don't consider those institution-centric goals... I consider them to be essentials for developing good software quickly.

I would say it depends. Readability and maintainability are very nice virtues, but if you are a driver or graphics developer and it cost you the performance then it stops to be desirable.

>As if writing readable code is actually a burden or a cost

It does have a cost, most of the time in the performance form and some other times in creativity form.
In fairness, that's right about how I feel about the rendering of monospace in HN comments, and how HN commenters continue to use monospace for quoting even knowing how long lines will appear; I'm just a little better at expressing my dissatisfaction.
You are equating readability and maintain-ability with quick ramp up time. That is a very institution centric way of looking at software development.

As a great counter example look at Haskell. The ramp up time for a typical Haskell program is fairly high but once you invest the upfront cost and understand the programs major abstractions you can make changes quickly and in a much less error prone fashion.

India was completely conquered and ruled by the British for a century or two. China was defeated militarily many times, but was never really conquered, and wasn't colonized aside from a few places like Hong Kong and bits of Shanghai. That's a huge difference in circumstance which I'm sure results in a huge difference in attitudes.

China also had an authoritarian government willing to impose Beijing Mandarin as the standard language for the whole country. I don't know that India's government would have been willing or able to do something similar.

That sounds easy but in reality you end-up rewriting 90% of the code. BaaS/serverless by its very nature is tightly coupled with the environment(in this case proprietary ecosystem). I think you also underestimating the effort required to migrate a "system". Migrating a service it's not the same as migrating 90 of such things. You need to make them cooperate in the new environment(authentication, communication API etc) not only to perform their task(i.e. crunch some data or update an entity). The only signifiant thing that you have from the previous system is perhaps the specification(hopefully you have a such thing).It has nothing to do with laziness. It's just a waste of time and energy. You could use that time to improve the current system not to migrate it to a different platform. You end-up with a rewrite. You will see it when it hits you. I've been all for managed services but lately I've started to change my opinion.
Being able to talk freely about his lies isn't helping; the Turkish citizens are happily signing up to be his brownshirts. Those of us who are outside the country and not Turkish can point this stuff out all we want, but it doesn't really matter. I'm sure people in England, the US, Poland, France, etc. said similar stuff about Hitler in the 30s, but it didn't help then either.

I won't be too surprised to see Turkey setting up death camps soon, for all the Kurds, intellectuals, and others opposed to his regime. And like Germany and Rwanda, the rest of the world will just stand by and watch.

I'd also like to point out that even with the internet and freedom of expression here in the US, we're not doing a great job of electing our next leader, and the ability to "expose lies" isn't helping either: no one believes it. People on the right don't believe it when others point out how their leaders or candidates are lying to them, and people on the left likewise don't believe it when others point out to them how their leaders and candidates are liars and crooks. It's probably much the same in Turkey right now; they do have internet access, Facebook, etc. But the pro-Erdogan people simply aren't going to believe anything they're told by anti-Erdogan people.

> I understand that Vulkan is very, very niche but as someone who doesn't know much more than the basics of maybe setting up an OpenGL window to draw anything, the "drawing a triangle part" just seems insane!

Every time a Vulkan/DX12 post is shared, this sort of comment is written. Modern GPUs are complex. They have a lot of knobs to turn. OpenGL has a lot of these same knobs, except they are implicitly turned for you in the most basic cases. But your average rendering code is nothing like the most basic OpenGL case, and involves much more knob turning.

You'll be fine. If you want to learn about how your modern GPU works, this will suit you. If not, no worries, you still have game engines.

Romance Makes Up 4% of Print, and 45% of EBook Sales
Those controversies of Qihoo 360 (stated in Wikipedia for both the society and the product of "360 Secure Browser") and Haier (for their partnership in the mobile platform) can't lead to anything good for Opera (browser).

Also, the presence of a "consortium" for which I haven't read any other relevant name sound like a way to cover the direct acquisition…

What I can see here is:
- A Chinese company trying to both comfortably beat their (Chinese) competition while gaining (out of PRC) customers for their "services" (which will likely be integrated within the browser); Which is fine, except for their "controversies".
- An executive team (at Opera), that seams pretty all about finance and economics, trying to make the most (money) from an offer in a market (the web browsers one) that is (at least, I think so) hard to remunerate.
Obviously those shareholders will be happy; but are those shareholders really involved into the product that they own, or they are just silent speculators who made an investment for the sole purpose of profit when they realized the company's potential of being acquired ?

I'm also disappointed because I used to like the effort that Opera has put into their own browser in the latest months; the same effort that convinced me to adopt their browser (beta version) instead of Chrome and advocate them.

P.S.: Obviously, those are just my thoughts after having read the article; I hope for a more detailed statement from Opera…
RestList, social bar and restaurant review app is now in Beta
Hi,
We've started beta testing on RestList, an iOS app that delivers trusted reviews of bars and restaurants from members of our users' social networks. Our beta testers so far tend to be users attracted for the food / drink aspect. We are hoping to get testers with a development / tech background to help evaluate our combination of review, social, and productivity features. Happy to answer any questions anyone has.

> Ataris were never really that good for gaming either

Atari practically owned the gaming business with its home games consoles, and its first home computers -- the Atari 400 and 800, launched in 1979 -- were the best games machines around at the time.

The Atari ST was the one the audio folks used, and it did play games, just not as well as the Amiga.

Curiously enough, the Amiga was developed by staff from Atari, while the Atari ST was developed by staff from Commodore. (This was after Jack Tramiel left Commodore and bought Atari, which he ran with his sons.)

I was focusing less in my comment on time-to-market and more on risk aversion to code ownership.

This can be truth for both initial time to market as well as the more obvious long-term maintenance costs.

Without saying what your level of expertise is, and showing a sample of your Perl, drawing any conclusions from your statements is like reading tea leaves.

Readability, of ANY code, is more often than not determined by how good the author is at naming things and avoiding senseless repetition (which are both skill honed with experience), and much less by any given feature of the language itself.
