How about BASIC in Haskell?

http://augustss.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/BASIC
Eiffel, Oberon and LISP are three examples of programming languages whose toolchains offered JIT and AOT compilation models depending on the use case being targeted, all of them before Java was even a thought.

I am fully aware of Java 9 AOT compiler, including the facts that not only it is just for x64 Linux, it just supports compiling the java.base module and the result isn't distributable.

However all commercial third party JDKs that didn't suffer from Sun's dogmatic war against AOT compilation, do support fully compiling Java into native code ahead of time.

Sure Java 10 is supposed to make everything better, including supporting value types, which the above mentioned languages also supported by the time Java was designed, yet that is something that is still like 5 years away or even more.
Seedrs also does it like this.

I hand coded my own for a while. I moved to Word Press to try to spend more time producing content, less time fussing with the back end. I later moved on to BlogSpot (aka Blogger) to spend even less time fussing with the back end.

It may not be hard to code up a website, but keeping all the code up to date as the world moves forward and staying on top of security issues etc... Yeesh.

If you are a professional programmer and this helps you develop your craft, coolios. But if you really just want to blog or produce other content, it can be just overkill.
> If you took a province of China with 200 million inhabitants, it would be an extremely responsible country compared to a country of similar size.

Having such an enormous population and population density relative to Western countries is irresponsible. I don't agree that you can just divide by population and say they're fine.
De-anonymization of data or of trained neural-nets? I've read somewhere that you can sort of 'squash' a trained net down into a simpler version for performance benefits - the caveat being that it can't do any more learning. I would think that'd make it harder to de-anonymize.
Here is a fantastic article to get you started down this path. Note that the author, in his introduction, submits that the approach to FizzBuzz in this paper is a "somewhat tongue-in-cheek solution." Nevertheless, by applying this kind of thinking to what is, in some ways, a deceptively simple-looking problem, the paper serves as a great starting point for using DSLs as an approach to problem-solving.

I happened to be researching this for a book a few months back. I noticed at the time that article on Wikipedia appears to be missing a bit of history although much of that missing information actually appears elsewhere on Wikipedia (and is sourced).

Canning seems to have originated with the Dutch navy in the mid-1700s and there was a small salmon canning industry in Holland by the end of that century.

You're definitely not the only one to notice, there have even been articles about it. It's pretty disgusting, but from a utilitarian perspective, caring for victims is better than not caring out of spite. About all we can do is hope that once we get this particular epidemic cleaned up, the next time one comes around that mainly affects poor blacks, we remember the lessons learned.

2-3 Cups of coffee per day and 3-5 pints of beer (5-7% alcohol) per week.

This could absolutely be true, but in the context of this discussion I find it hard to imagine someone using dev ops tools like these without having written a shell script in their lives - even the most basic use of these tools is probably going to template a shell script at some point. I'd be shocked if the shell command resource provider syntax in these tools coupled with their templating engines is not by some margin the most commonly used feature these things offer.

> What do you characterize as drug abuse?

I tend to think about drug misuse, rather than drug abuse, since not taking certain drugs can be just as irrational and damaging as taking too many drugs.

But basically I think people should use drugs as tools to maximize their utility based on their needs and values. And I think that drug misuse is anything that leads to significantly suboptimal utility that's clearly not justifiable by any sort of internally coherent reasoning.

> Questions such as yours makes me realize that a lot of go developers don't even understand what is the purpose of generic programming.

While this sounds a bit condescending I know exactly what you mean.

There seems to be some sort of "language barrier" (where the language is programming language concepts) between developers from different backgrounds.

Go is currently used in a lot of successful projects, so it gets new developers from lots of places and they are failing to communicate adequately about the language itself. I see three main groups (there may be more!):

a) People who come from C and other lower-level languages: They are introduced to memory-safety, keep a type system that they already know and are comfortable with and in addition get a polished, well-integrated toolchain.

b) People who come from Python, Ruby and other "untyped" scripting languages. These are introduced to native code (wow! fast!), a type system that isn't expressive - but sufficient (and more than they had before), and the same toolchain experience.

c) People who come from higher-level, safer languages including (but not limited to) Java, Haskell, C# and so on. These developers for the most part already had well-functioning toolchains, but they are "stepping down" to a language that is less expressive (okay, for Java-people YMMV greatly) and often end up frustrated.

Now you get conflicts when the c-people have discussions like this with the a/b-people and nobody is happy.

There's an old joke about this in the Haskell community: http://www.lispcast.com/img/typing.png
I believe this is exactly an "ethics and morals" discussion, and apparently protesters were needed to stop the practice.

As the negative impact on the circus business in the case at hand shows, you can't separate the ethics and morals from the business model, just like with slavery-based cotton production. "Yeah, you may be right, but let's put the morals of slavery aside while we're discussing the bottom line of my plantation" will not fly.

They weren't happy about it. Behind the scenes, this stuff costs them a lot of money and potentially increases their legal exposure. It also makes them look bad to their customers, though that's not really a competitive disadvantage if everyone is compelled to be customer-hostile in the same ways. However, since they're UK businesses and they're not above UK law, what other viable option do they have?
> But it has a lot of functionality too, which is why I accept the JVM overhead

This is something that can be replicated with additional plugins. To be honest, I have used Eclipse and Netbeans extensively. They do have additional features, but not a lot.

If I am not wrong, VSCode ships with a debugger and syntax highlighter built-in. There are tons of other plugins to add the extra functionality like GIT integration, built-in terminal, more syntax highlighting etc (Nowadays, you name it you have it). Even if you add 10 such plugins you are noway near a JVM based IDE on memory consumption. Also Netbeaans is very very slow, atleast in perception. Eclipse feels snappy, due to the use of SWT, but its a memory hog.
I'm going to disagree with your friend. The hardest part of Japanese is reading it. You can train all that social stuff through usage and watching a lot of TV. But reading? It's a nightmare.

The simple elementary school stuff isn't hard. But the highschool and college-level stuff? Ugh. Thousands of characters with multiple pronunciations each, sometimes with very tiny differences between them.

JVM has the same problem, isn't it?. In fact VSCode even after extending it with lots of plugin to make it a full-fledged IDE, feels more responsive and relatively lean on memory usage compared to full-fledged (JVM based) IDEs.
I do too. Unfortunately per the article, it was an internal experiment at Underwood and never released, even in physical form.
I feel the same way. I watched my dad go from Vicodin to Oxy to dead by age 50. All for a neck injury + surgery. It is a painful thing to watch the man who taught you everything reduced to crying on the floor because his prescription ran out early and it would a couple days until it could be refilled.
You essentially want to enslave people to push your dated concepts of how to live on them.

My job is 20 miles away, I'm not riding a bike. I don't want to spend hours going to and from work every day. I'm not moving my kids into a shittier house without a big yard in a shittier school district, just so I can bike to work.

I'm not going to move my family in a shitty apartment just so we can have "density" and force everyone to use shitty mass transit.

My daughters dojo is 5 miles from my house, she ain't walking there. I'm not sending her to the shitty dojo down the street.

No one is getting excluded. The young, old, poor and disabled are driven everywhere in cars. If they can't drive themselves, someone drives them. Thats what we do for family members. And soon the car itself will drive them.

> The US has a comparable train to your Berlin-Freiburg route.

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acela_Express

Well, it lags by over 100km/h of allowed speed (and more in practice I tihnk), but then the fast trains in Germany can't use their top-speed in a lot of regions either. The network isn't even remotely as varied. But, as you say:

> Unsurprisingly, it goes through a high population density region.

Everything in Germany is extremely dense compared to large swathes of the US. It'd not be feasible to have every medium sized city on a high-speed train network in the US.

But the situation on the US west coast, where I now live, is really kinda bad. There not being reasonable "public"/rail transport between Seattle<->Portland<->SF/Bay Area<->LA is hard to understand from a European/German perspective, although I see the political perspective of it being hard to do.

You really get used to that tho. I recently went to a conference in Stockholm, and reflexively wanted to hail a cab from the airport to the hotel/venue. Just to remember to check public transport: 15min less than by car.
Capitalism promotes improvements in productivity that creates the abundance that makes all of those public programs possible in the first place.

Small dollar amounts, but not necessarily "few" in numbers of people. Granted, I'm not particularly interested in crowd-funded equity, but crowd-funded interest-free charitable loans that Kiva has been doing in the U.S. have been steadily growing. https://www.kiva.org/lend/kiva-u-s

Growing at the bottom may not produce eye-popping changes right now, but could have some great long-term effects for re-invigorating small business growth (which has been on the decline in the U.S. as I've posted elsewhere).
I spent 3 years learning Mandarin in college, and then spent a full 13 months at Beida in 96. I've had significantly less training in Japanese: one year in CC, but decades now of regular subbed anime, a Japanese wife, and two Japanese-speaking-first children. I think their relative complexity is broadly equivalent, but in different ways:

Phonologically, Japanese is easier. No tones, and no retroflex consonants to worry about as in Mandarin (unless you don't mind sounding southern/Taiwanese). There is a pitch accent in Japanese, but apparently it varies wildly from one end of the country to the other, and it's not generally critical to comprehension, unlike Mandarin tones.

Lexically, Japanese is easier, at least IME. Don't know a word? Given all the borrowing in Japanese, I've had very good luck just to mangle the English word into Japanese phonotactics, and 90% of the time, the person I've spoken to immediately knows what I mean.

Syntactically, there's a lot more similarity in Mandarin's basic SVO word order to English.

But Kanji. OMG. You need to learn roughly the same set of Kanji as hanzi to be high-school literate, but the Japanese set will generally have a minimum of two pronunciations per character, which vary wildly in context. Mandarin generally has one pronunciation per character, which becomes far simpler to learn.
They could ask for a second interview and present follow up questions.

But this raise a primary question. Is the distinction of being able to instantly make follow up questions of such importance that it will swing the binary choice of charging Assange of a crime or dropping the case?

The primary cause for a guilty and not guilty verdict should not be the quality of the environment for a police interview. Not for a such serious allegation like this.
The idea of the ultra-rich taking matters into their own hands is an interesting one. It seems like the world's governments are unable to reach a consensus about what to do about these issues. As a side note, has anyone ever compiled a list of all the crazy (but potentially feasible) actions individuals could take to combat climate change and pollution etc but that are far too expensive to attempt?
For sure. My argument is that, in general, consumers have found all of those listening devices more useful than terrifying.

I don't think Orwell imagined that universal surveillance would happen due to consumer demand rather than imposition by the totalitarian state.
Well I was alive before cell phones and I'll tell you people will find plenty of reason to not pay attention at 70MPH.
The machinery we build is more reliable than ever because of improved manufacturing tolerances, CAD stress analysis, better understanding of materials, etc, but manufacturing isn't perfect and materials aren't perfect.

When you add more complexity, you add more opportunities for failure, that's just a fact. Twin engine airplanes have twice as many engine-out emergencies as single engine airplanes.

I have the perception that 10 speed transmissions are less reliable than four speed because I've messed with the innards of both. There are size and weight constraints in cars, and you have to get those 10 gears into similar space where you used to get 4, particularly in transverse applications. Transmissions almost never fail due to the gear set failing. What happens is that some chunk of a clutch plate breaks off and causes havoc, or some solenoid gets weak and allows for clutch slippage and the clutch plates overheat and damage the fluid, which cascades pretty quickly. Big rig transmissions are seriously big and heavy duty, car transmissions are dainty things by comparison. Your Getrag example is an exception - it's a high performance transmission meant for expensive cars. Yes, once cost isn't a constraint, things do get beefier and more reliable.

My point was that the complexity of these things makes it very hard to fix them, so cars reach end of life sooner. You could have Jimbob's Local Transmission Shop rebuild your transmission in the past, now Jimbob is over his head. He has to send it out to a rebuilder, who will charge several thousand dollars for this thing, so it's only cost effective to fix cars which are relatively new.

Turbos are used to make smaller engines behave like bigger ones, they help generate more heat and more pressure to develop more power, but weight and size are still constraints, so everything operates closer to maximum stress tolerances. I've been racing cars for almost ten years, and on hot days, it's not the naturally aspirated engines which blow up, it's the turbos. As with transmissions, big rig turbos are not constrained by size, weight and cost like passenger car turbos. They have gotten a LOT better, don't get me wrong, but a turbocharged engine is a much more complex system than a naturally aspirated one.

In my opinion, the sweet spot for technology/simplicity is behind us. Cars built between about 2000 and 2010 have simple port injected engines, very good engine management systems which result in very clean emissions, and generally no turbos. You can cost effectively keep one of these things running forever, and what happens is that the body and interior fall apart before the engine quits being cheap to maintain.

I'm a car guy, I love working on the things and hacking on engines and ECU's. Don't get me wrong, I think new cars are wonderful, but they're becoming tightly integrated systems with little in the way of user serviceable parts - throwaways like cell phones.
Yes, people in Italy are poor and trapped in small urban areas unable to leave. That's not better.
Hmm, that's surprising. I am a bit of a track rat and figured the Miata had more aftermarket support. Flyin' Miata has a ton of parts and upgrades. I don't see a lot of Miatas on the track where I am, the ones I do see have a substantial number of mods.

Most of the BRZ/GT-86/FR-S I see in my neck of the woods are all blinged out visually with not many good "handling/performance" mods (aside from giant supercharger or turbocharger setups which IMHO is the last thing one should modify).

Good point. People are bashing Electron and chromium in general. But they do forget JVM based IDEs had the same problem. Rather than bashing Electron, if we can figure out to make it more leaner and faster, it would be much better.

I think it is worth mentioning that it actually kills pain and I am yet to experience any side effects. Only problem is to find the right dose, but it is a minor obstacle in comparison to the hell offered by pharmaceuticals. I have been taking Kratom for a month now and after a week dropped all pain medication prescribed by doctor. I feel like I am getting my life back. I feel that there are forces out there trying to make it illegal, because it interferes with the profits of pharmaceutical companies.
I had mixed feelings about Kotlin when I first heard about it. Usually I wouldn't think twice about a language developed and championed by a small company. But the "small company" being JetBrains, I had a feeling it would be well thought out with a good IDE. It doesn't seem like I'll be disappointed. I've avoided Android development because I dislike both Java and Eclipse. Both of those problems seem to be solved. Now of only the emulator was better and building GUIs....

Just read all the top line comments here. Interesting that no one had mentioned the one thing that has probably done the most to "better our chances as species" in the last few hundred years, and has helped hundreds of millions in India and China get out of backbreaking poverty and accumulate some wealth. And that is...

Work hard, accumulate skills, and become better at your normal job. Even if you're not writing open source software to help local governments in third world countries have free elections and fight malaria or donating 50% of your salary, you're creating value and "bettering our species" just by doing something that someone is willing to pay you for. In fact, that's how most of the world's wealth is created.

Not saying you shouldn't volunteer or donate your salary (I personally try to donate a decent chunk of my salary to givedirectly) but -- unless you're a nigerian hacker or malware developer or something -- just because you're getting paid or working on something that isn't an absolute necessity doesn't mean you aren't doing social good. Just something to think about.
