Take a look at this article/talk https://commandcenter.blogspot.com/2012/06/less-is-exponenti...

He's explicitly rude. Sets up a strawman argument with the developer who can't imagine programming without generics. Mocks the people who want generics. Gasps in faux disbelief that it could be solved by types.

And then, when he goes in for the kill, to show once and for all that generics are pointless garbage:

He attacks type hierarchies and inheritance... completely missing the point by conflating parametric polymorphism and subtype polymorphism.

I think "Fuck generics" does a decent job of summarazing the rudeness, misinformation and ill-thought out arguments that the article contains about generics.

"Not minding" data corruption is a perverted mindset that comes from internalising Intel's market segmentation. It's not a law of home computing that we don't deserve the good technology.
I don't think Node solves the problem of static dependency compilation and fast startup.
I maintain a small page about Stoicism here: http://pa-mar.net/Main/Lifestyle/Stoicism.html

I believe that the Stoicism's appeal (for modern tech people) is that it is basically a very rational approach to life and its problems.
It is also very adaptable to modern day culture: it downplays Religion but respects Society, for example.

Last but not least, the image of dour, ascetical, judgemental party poopers is a bit off mark, I think.
The ideal Stoic is of course quite restrained in everything, but feeling somehow superior, a part of some elite is a mistake in itself.

RISC OS, the OS from the company that later became ARM, used "application" from at least 1987, and by 1991 that had been abbreviated to "Apps" in some of the UI, although I think we still said "application."

These were school or home computers.

The classic Wizards lecture on generic '+ is good enough argument.

The numeric tower of lisps is the canonical use case of what generic functions are good for.

Smalltalk, the second greatest language after Lisp, is also good example.

Nice. But it does highlight a trend in modern programming languages such as Ruby etc. where these one line shorthand methods are used to such an extent these days that new programmers to the project have to spend an inordinate amount of time reverse engineering some of these shortcuts to make sense of program flow and understand the program in their heads.

Take the simple, quick initialiser:

foo ||= 1

Instead of the more verbose

if foo.nil?
foo = 1
end

Undoubtedly, the first line is a much cooler version, but like skinny jeans was once cool - getting in and out of them far outweighed the cool factor.

Untwised is meant to solve all problems twisted solves but it does it in quite a different way. They are two different tools that would solve the same problems using different approaches. Untwisted doesnt share code nor architecture with twisted. In untwisted, sockets are abstracted as event machines, they are sort of "super sockets" that can dispatch events. You map handles to Spin instances, these handles are mapped upon events, when these events occurs then your handles get called. The handles can spawn events inside the Spin instances, in this way you can better abstract all kind of internet protocols consequently achieving a better level of modularity and extensibility.
That is one of the reasons that sukhoi's code is sort of short, it is due to the underlying framework in which it was written on.
a good thought experiment. I think it's likely that the government forms a symbiotic relationship with Bitcoin if things get that far.

If the public does not want national currencies, then governments need to make them wanted. Physical force is an obvious approach, but probably impractical.

People often make observations like this, about lots of things. "It's not 100% perfect so what's the point?".

The point is it's closer to 100% perfect than any other system we have. Incremental improvements are still improvements even if they aren't all things to all men.
"Application" was around way earlier, as shorthand for "application program" (to be distinguished from "utility program", and, possibly, "game")

For examples look at the search hits in https://archive.org/stream/1981-03-compute-magazine/Compute_....

I wouldn't call this an application, though.

"App" is completely wrong, as it was introduced by Apple for user-facing programs running on a mobile phone (if Android had been the OS popularizing this, Google would have picked the first three letters of its company name as the new name for these things, and every web site would have a banner "install our goo" :-))
Apple supports enterprise distribution outside the app store. Like the idea though.

Nodes control consensus in bitcoin. If miners attempt to circumvent the will of the users, the Proof-of-work algorithm can be changed, making useless all of the miner hardware. They know this, which is why they can't force the issue.

Decentralization of mining is an issue, but decentralization of nodes is a far more important thing to maintain.

I saw a two man play at the Geffen Playhouse in Westwood years ago called "Defiled" about a librarian played by Jason Alexander dealing with the loss of card catalogs to the computer. There were long soliloquies about niceness of the physicality of the card catalog and the Dewey Decimal classification and what not. I enjoyed the acting but could not empathize at all with the premise of the play or the weeping and gnashing of teeth by the main character.
Eh, futzing with your asset allocation is significantly less important than budgeting well, managing your lifestyle/expenses, and making your career work out well. You can retire without beating inflation, let alone stock market indexes.
It is a pretty cool offering, for $30/year, you get to experience the GFW by sitting comfortably in your bay area fancy house.

So far, you can't really claim that you've ever designed a global platform because your stuff clearly doesn't work in mainland China. Think about it - 95% of all US services you can think of does _not_ work there, google.com/GCE/most AWS/golang.org/docker etc. For $30/year you get a chance to battle the GFW and the ability to build something truly work in all major markets.

We used imgix on last project as a last line of defense against unoptimized images due to the timing constraints of the project. However on greenfield, we would build the image optimization into the build process (could be as simple as few imagemagick commands), and the save pipeline for CMS'ish part (content blocks, adding products etc..) and then just use a dumb CDN.

Imgix really annoyed me as they didnt bother replying about the status page fiasco, this is after we gave them a free-pass with their capacity planning which made us look like idiots recommending them (i.e images loading super slow). Not again, bad ethics.

Yes, I think the real reason why VCs don't like meeting people outside of their networks is that it makes them uncomfortable.

Meeting new people all the time is exhausting and destabilizing.

People like consistency and a feeling that the world is a small place full of familiar faces.

I think that the herd mentality makes sense for small VCs who don't really know what they're doing and don't have any vision but it's disappointing to see it in these big guys too. They are the trendsetters after all.

That mentality is exactly why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Also it is sacrificing technology/innovation for sales/marketing/networking.

I work in quant finance, and indeed there is currently a boom of people claiming to be building AI/ML funds. I mean there's some smart people who actually do have AI/ML degrees, but it's sold just like Watson: magic beans.

Now it's not that it can't be done, it's just not as easy as "hire an AI guy and show him financial data". Same with Watson, it's not physically impossible to build a cancer scanner, it's just very hard and not quite fulfilling lofty expectations yet.

> The monoliths of finance will set the legislation that will determine everything about crypto-currencies in all major economies.

As it turns, they won't. Or, more to the point, can't. Bitcoin didn't 'ask' for permission for anything, because permission isn't required to do math.

There seems to be this unshakeable belief in some people that things that things that aren't given permission by a government aren't legal, where it is, in fact, the other way around.

Similar story for theater. A team is built from scratch for each show. Repertory theaters have a permanent core staff, but still engage specialists per production. Between Equity, IATSE, and USA, most everyone at the highest levels has union representation. There are strict boundaries on how a working day can be scheduled and who can be asked to do what. Members get health insurance through their unions.

A side effect is that most new and cutting-edge theater is done by 20-somethings in poverty conditions (or on trust funds) hoping to finally make it into the union and onto higher-production-value projects. Only large-scale commercial shows, or very prestigious nonprofit shows, use union labor.

A great wage for entry-level union workers does not equal a great wage for entry-level practitioners, it means that entry-level work is done outside the union, and only an elite few will make it to union work.

> If you've ever worked with data scientists working with Python, you'll quite often see them all chained together, probably with some other list comprehensions thrown in until it becomes one incomprehensible line.

It's not incomprehensible, it's just phrased a different way from what you're used to.

A lot of programming boils down to mutating local or global state, by executing lines of code -- each of which mutating the contents of some variable somewhere -- in order, one at a time. But this is just one style of programming, and is not the only one. When using map, filter, reduce etc. we, instead, construct a path through which data flows, where each line modifies some aspect of the data, as it flows through the path. This is essentially what Functional Reactive Programming is, although you can get the same effect using a pure language and function composition.
Did you read the linked article about UB? The odds that a random C++ program trips up some of that UB are actually pretty high, and all of the programs you've mentioned do have UB (Linus has infamously gotten angry about GCC starting to exploit it). It's just a question of whether a compiler (or hacker) is bothering to exploit it yet.

Right, my intention by pointing out Cloudant wasn't to offer it as a counter-example (I personally have 0 experience with it), but rather to see if anyone might have some red flags to share, as I'm considering using Cloudant instead of hosting my own CouchDB instances for a new project I'm speccing out, and especially since nobody has mentioned it as a counter-example in this thread so far.
Your math is completely off. a 100x10TB RAID6, with a failed disk need to read 990TB of data to rebuild in the case of a failed disk. With an URE of 1 in 10^14 you will see 79.2 URE events on average if the URE rate is correct (again, I don't believe it is) during single a rebuild - this is the reason no serious engineer recommends a RAID6 for large arrays.

In the case of a RAID1, noone uses 100 mirrored drives. You use RAID10, and in the case of a failed disk, you must read 10TB to recover. With the same URE, we'd see on average 8 URE for every 10 rebuilds, or around 2 orders of magnitude less failure rate compared to the RAID6 example.

Regarding trust, have you heard of the Rai stones [0] from the island of Yap in Micronesia?

From the wiki article:

The extrinsic (perceived) value of a specific stone is based not only on its size and craftsmanship, but also on its history. If many people—or no one at all—died when the specific stone was transported, or a famous sailor brought it in, the value of the rai stone increases by reason of its anecdotal heft.

Fraud.

You get X amount of quota (YY cores or ZZ bytes of GCS) per project. So while we charge you ASAP these days, if you can create 1000 projects you can have 25000 cores even if your fake credit card will bounce or bounce after it charges more than say $10.

It totally sucks to have to deal with this, but it basically costs almost $0 to get a fake credit card or a stolen one that'll pass for at least a few bucks. So this means your getting started experience has friction due to the folks that would like to burn our precious cores for whatever the most valuable coin mining is.

> (unless some large entity owns mining majority).

Without control of the nodes, the mining hashpower is only a secondary concern. If the miners ever tried to enforce their will, the nodes would simply change the PoW algorithm, and the miners would effectively be out of work.
In order to maintain compatibility with other interfaces, they have to return error in several places. Take bytes.Buffer, which return errors even when they are impossible. Same with http.Cookie(). It promises it will only ever be http.ErrNoCookie, but that isn't going to make static analysis tools happy.

Maybe, but the solution to this is not to say: Only the compiler implementers are smart enough people to not create messy code with generics, only a few built-in data types are allowed to be generic and the rest will have to copy-paste implementations or use lose type information through `interface {}`

No, it isn't. Ticket prices fluctuate incredibly wildly, and tend to increase sharply in the month leading up to the flight. In fact, this move is largely to displace overbooking to a new mechanic.

Now why this is a problem: Want to book a necessary flight 3 months ahead of time, shop for the cheapest fare, amd then find out a week before your trip that you've been bumped to a later flight (posssibly missing scheduled activities) because a last minute customer wants your seat? Unoversal adoption of United's model would make this common place (at least as common-place as overbooking is now).
