None of the languages that you mention target the EVM, and the changes required to do so would turn them into restricted versions that look kind of like the original ones but have several differences that you need to keep in mind while programming in them. It makes quite a lot of sense to create a new language that takes advantage of the particular features provided by the EVM.

It's also quite hard for programmers to reason about performance or complexity in most functional languages. In the EVM, all functions should either be O(1) or bounded O(n) and should strive to use the most economical bytecode available to perform each task.

Preface: Over the past 12+ years I have spent a fair amount of time learning about foods/diets, at first to try to get rid of my acne (which I was successful at), but then later to stay lean and stop any diet-related dips in my mood (which I was also successful at).

What I want to say:

Cutting carbs is difficult for most people because of two things: 1) withdrawal from the sugar-high that you get from eating high-glycemic-load food (like bagels / pasta), and 2) your body needs* some amount of carbs, and people are cutting bad carbs without replacing them with good carbs, and thus experiencing an inescapable craving for carbs.

The vast majority of people in the US equate "carbs" with "grains/sugars/starches", and so when they "cut carbs", they stop consuming almost any carbs (like the author of this article says he did), they then experience discomfort because of the two factors I listed above, and if they get past the sugar-high withdrawal, the constant inescapable/healthy cravings for carbs eventually push them to begin eating grains/sugars/starches again.

My daily diet (when I'm eating "properly") has me consuming carbs in the form of two bags of "steam-in-bag" broccoli and a bag of carrots. Every day. When you've eaten that many vegetables, you experience no craving whatsoever for unhealthy carbs. But for most people, the idea of consuming that many vegetables per day has probably never entered their minds, and that's why they have trouble "cutting carbs".

I highly recommend that people who are interested in this topic watch this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M74Ao6y4vfg

--------------------------------------

*I'm using 'need' in the sense of "your body needs glucose, and the typical way to get it is from carbs, and so if you eat almost no carbs, you may experience some 'healthy' level of craving for carbs".
Your last point is exactly the same as mine, just with different numbers. It still comes down to a gamble - the chance of you succeeding is out of your control, only the chance of you failing is in your control. Hence the analogy to video poker.

Just like gambling, the lucky ones will hit the jackpot early and crow how it's easily possible if you put in the right effort and time (just like they did). The unlucky ones will spend time and money trying to hit that jackpot.

If we step through the numbers, and assume a median of 4 years per real attempt with a 25% success rate:

First round of ten 22 year old, equally skilled and driven entrepreneurs, two succeed. The remaining eight 26 year olds are failures, but try again.

Four years later, two more will succeed, the remaining six are now 30, with two major failures under their belts. But they're driven, and try again.

Now at 34, another two succeed, and the remaining four are trying to drive up the will to let one more of them succeed.

Twelve years, six winners, four losers.

The median entrepreneur will have to spend 12 years - 3 attempts - of their lives to reach success. And that's the median, there will be some (somewhere around 2%) who could never reach success in their own lifespan, regardless of how hard they try, through no fault of their own.

I get the appeal though, just like I get the appeal of gambling. If you do win, you have a chance to win big. But there's a downside too. And that downside is the opportunity cost of all that time, energy and money spent trying to hit it big.
Do whatever you can to get him that treatment
Replace "if" with "as long as".
Agree. I've been using Micropython for almost two years on several projects. This Spamvertising from Zerynth doesn't say why I should switch.
Stanford CS is copying my startup as a homework
I agree. If a function isn't side-effect-free, then you've got other problems besides whether it's used with a ternary operator.

My primary language, Object Pascal, even goes to the length of naming functions (return values) and procedures (don't return values) differently. It really helps to focus the mind on the purpose of each: one almost always expects procedures to do something and, most likely, modify something that may introduce side effects. Functions are almost always side-effect-free in "decent" Object Pascal code.
I see.

So as an example of doing both, consider following Java pseudocode (simples example that comes to my mind now):

Foo value = someCondition()
? map1.computeIfAbsent("key", defaultValueProvider)
: map2.computeIfAbsent("key", defaultValueProvider);

This both gets a value and changes state of the map; which map is queried/altered is determined by the condition. I personally don't mind such code, and prefer it to if/else version.

"Moderation" doesn't mean anything, obviously.
Companies like Digital Ocean, Linode, Vultr, Scaleway cater to small developers. The costs are much lower, although the flexibility and features aren't the same as AWS. If you need the features of AWS then definitely take a look at their main competitors too (Google and Microsoft), they all have slightly different feature sets and optimizations.

Personally I've never found a reason to use AWS/Azure/GCS for small projects, they're just too costly.
The odds of "making a dent in the world" are pathetically, abysmally, absurdly small. You cannot plan for that. It just happens to some people and that's it.

If by, so to speak, you mean that some dents are bigger than others -- sure... contributing to a small startup that makes some people a decent amount of money and the rest practically nothing... sounds great. Turns out the bigger the exit the less the rest of the people make and the more a small group of people do. Of all the companies big and small that are started around the globe each day, how many have "made a dent in the world?"

It may as well be zero.

If you cannot be motivated internally you're not going to find it very satisfying to continue taking risks working for (or starting) startups. When the first one fails, and the next few, and you never end up making that dent... you're going to be very disappointed.

You can use that same internal motivation at a big-corp as you can working for a start up. Or anywhere else in life.

While I think the cop in the video deserves discipline and/or dismissal and/or criminal charges, and the person accused deserves a stronger than usual presumption of innocence, the video is not hard evidence that the cop planted drugs. He may have been simply recreating his previous discovery of the drugs.

I've watched lots of youtube videos of rock hunters recreating their discoveries on camera for the sake of drama and upvotes, often admitting it. Police are surely affected by similar incentives.

The above argument is brought to you by someone who thinks that all drugs should be legalized, and that all cops who work to enforce drug laws are acting immorally.
This is very cool, though the East London Line is going 24hour soon, which closely follows this route.

I was a technical sales manager at a fast growing ISP focused on selling T1, DS3 and "business grade" DSL. The money was good. It felt like we were on top of the world. Embarrassingly, looking back, the movie that best describes our culture/ environment back then was Boiler Room. It's one of Vin Diesel's last movies before becoming a star w/ the Fast & Furious series and it's streaming on Youtube if you're ever interested. Different industry but same vibe. Most of us were recent grads from no name schools. There were also a few dropouts and a few who never attempted college. Depending on where you live, this would be the equivalent of coming out of school in your 20's w/ very few skills to make a doctor's salary almost 20 years ago.

Towards the end, every week for a few months, we'd talk/ read about mass firings or competitors shutting down completely. The writing was on the wall when the CEO brought in the PE guy (who still maintained his role at the PE shop he came from) in as a VP to "tighten things up".I was too young and naive to recognize what that meant but his role was to come in and get the company ready to be acquired or parted out like an old car at the junkyard. Yup, we were being prepared for the slaughter.

That last day was tough. We knew it was coming but didn't know when. Working under that type of environment is a tough feeling to describe. Big cardboard boxes on everyones desk one morning, along w/ an offer to take or leave was devastating & relieving at the same time. I took the offer and used the cash to start a company.

Some never recovered. Some had picked up bad habits (cars, alcohol, coke, fast life) while the money was flowing, making it harder when the cash dried up. I always lived a low key existence. I never appreciated it more than when our world stopped spinning.
I'm not sure that it's reasonable to blame Firefox for this issue. I use Firefox on Windows 7, 8 and 10 without issue; the installation went without a hitch.
While I don't agree with the technique, I would certainly not call it "tricking". Especially in your example, where it very clearly (more than most) describes what will happen if the boxes remain checked. People who blindly click "next", "ok", or "continue" buttons are tricking themselves, not being tricked. Especially when dealing with "free" software.
Shouldn't that be:

Foo value = ( someCondition() ? map1 : map2 ).computeIfAbsent("key", defaultValueProvider);

Or some kind of moral equivalent?

As I replied in a sibling comment regardless of whether those biological traits have a real impact or not I don't think it's particularly relevant in this context.

Maybe nature will prevent a black person from reaching Michael Phelps-levels of swimming proficiency but I don't think it would prevent anybody from learning natation 101.

I don't think I'll ever win the 100m sprint at the olympics but I can definitely run 100m and probably faster than the average black person too.
Except for the fact that carbs are the only macronutrient that are not essential and can be completely synthesized by the body via gluconeogenesis. There are essential amino acids that need to be sourced via food (protein). There are essential fatty acids that need to be sourced via food (fat). There are no essential carbs.
Thanks for your replay.

Bags can vary greatly in amount, what weight does that represent, is it 150g or 3kg?
Nice username... :)

It's totally logical, but wildly scary sounding. Is there any sort of anesthesia that is delivered which... I don't know... changes your perception as the patient to not think about the fact someone is poking your brain?

I think it's a problem of reputation, actually. Google and Apple keep stuff online because they promised they would, and there would be backlash if they turned it off all of a sudden. There's nothing stopping a random, anonymous "filer" (like miner) from stopping the upload stream.

To go even further, if you orchestrate several miners carefully (maybe computationally) they can together perhaps stop people from accessing certain files.
> Objective would be weight, waist width, blood test results, etc, and subjective would be energy, drowsiness, amount of willpower required to stay on diet, environmental pressures for or against (social eating, food availability, cost), etc.

This is really the best answer here. Lower calories is the way to lose weight. It is how someone switches to less calories and maintains that state for their lifetime where problems arise.

Mentally, some people just cannot eat a single cookie. For them they have to avoid cookies all together or else they wreck their caloric intake. Only protein and fat for some people is good because it's easy to follow. Carbs are not evil, unless they make up 70%+ of your diet. Look at all of the people who are very successful on If It Fits Your Macros for example. They have a mix of carbs/fat/protein to hit each day.

But React isn't a framework. It's only a view library. So by definition, it shouldn't care less about Ajax. Similarly, Redux is only a state-management container. It also shouldn't care about Ajax. What you're probably looking for is redux-saga[0]; it provides the tools to let you easily write all the fancy functionality you're talking about.

When has the ridiculous license ever been an actual problem for anyone?
I swear, there is a website for EVERYTHING.
I've experienced this so many times, it's depressing. Often it goes something like this, I'll sit near the guys (it's always guys) in the other team and overhear how they're planning to implement something, when the library or framework they're using already does that, but they don't know about it. If I say something, I'm ignored, and they go off and write a bunch of buggy code that causes everyone problems down the line.

Other times, it's someone new to the team|company|career who's given a task that directly impacts my area of the app, and they go off and build some monstrously over engineered solution to a not difficult problem, without asking for client (ie my) input. Once had to work with a guy who would implement plugins for the build system for trivial stuff for example.

One that stands out is a guy (experienced, 10 year+) who was hired on to implement a one off for a client such that he was able to re-use a lot of existing code. He systematically went though and cut and paste entire source tree's into a new project. This time, I threw caution to the wind; "don't do that, package it and use it as a library!", no effect. A couple of months later the same guy comes to me with a bunch of bugs related to hard coded paths in the code he'd moved, but hadn't updated the paths. Oh I was a jackass; told ya so, didn't listen did ya?

I have struggled with this over the years. I have tried to be super diplomatic and circumspect. I have tried staying silent, I have tried talking to leads and managers. Here's the thing: nothing works. I have come to believe there is something in the DNA of (some) developers that prohibits asking for or taking advice.

> myself was once in a situation where I thought myself a star team member only to find out later that I was not helping much, and that is putting it mildly. I wasted 12-18 months before I figured this out and moved on.

This is incredibly self aware, and I congratulate you. I believe most developers achieve this after some period of time in the industry, but some never do.

Edit; added a bunch of stuff, this is a sore point for me apparently.
After Water Quality Fixes, a Paris Canal Is Swimmable
An interesting point (which you bring up) is how complex the behaviour of the glycemic load is. It's dependent on the combination of food stuffs (as you point out), but also on things like the physical shape of the food.

In Sweden we have something called "snabbmakaroner", which is basically macaronis but smaller and with thinner walls to shorten the time needed to boil them. Regular "makaroner", with the thicker walls has a lower GI compared to these thinner-walled ones. Even though they have the same exact ingredients and nutrients. I did a report on this during highschool when I tested it out on a bunch of willing classmates, and I was able to confirm it.
I don't think anyone is for removing them entirely. But when you look at the obesity epidemic, there's certainly a case for tamping down on the avg American's intake.

ScalaQuest – a game to learn Scala (Kickstarter)
No solid reason, just a feeling. I feel that if-else block communicates intent more clearly when you're dealing with statements - because it can't return a value in languages we're discussing, it's specialized for that job. The same motivation makes ternary better when we care about a value.
> Yes because that would still be a crime. Expanding on your analogy - if I declare right now that it's ok to murder me, it's still not ok to come and murder me.

The comparison to murder doesn't work because you can't consent to murder, but you can consent to theft.

It's not clear to me whether that situation would be taken as consent, but unless you know something I don't, it probably shouldn't be clear to you either.
It depends on the type of work but in general it seems the most fun to have more flexibility.

In stead of starting at 6:00 one could start between 5:00 and 7:00. Then have a break between 11:00 and 13:00 for 30 min or 3 hours, whatever the fuck you want.

Moderation is usually a thought-terminating cliche. Whenever there's a conversation among of those looking to examine the details, someone is around to dismiss the inquiry with "everything in moderation".

Could be, though this is an artifact of a simplified example that I didn't mean to be relevant here.

Foo value = someCondition()
? map1.computeIfAbsent("key", defaultValueProvider)
: list1.get(42);
The rush to use Redux for every React project is one of the most annoying parts of the React community; using a tool just to use it, before understanding if you need it or not. This article summarizes a lot of good points.

> your body needs a fair amount of carbs every day,

I think you're mistaken. Carb is the only macronutrient that is not required. The body can make glucose via gluconeogenesis. Take someone who has not eaten a single carb for a month and measure their blood glucose level and you will find a stable 90mg/dL. This is why Type-1 diabetics still need insulin (although much much lesser than otherwise) in spite of being on zero-carb diets.

Love to hear your thoughts on this!
Exactly. Moderation is relative to thresholds deemed 'extreme', and there are usually no objective, culture-independent standards on which the extremes are based. Moderation can be whatever you rationalize it to be.
To some extent this is true. One, used to be Fortune 50 but now probably not even Fortune 1000 famous corporation has been "going to replace TOLAS on OpenVMS" for the past 20+ years. Every attempt, without exception, has failed spectacularly. Now every attempt will fail because everyone who knew the business rules which went into the code modifications is either retired or dead. If management decided to "just pull the plug" and install some worthless Oracle or SAP or (insert big named software package here) the lawsuits for contract violations would bankrupt the company 5 times over.

Despite _constant_ denial by a good many people who claim to be "in the know" OpenVMS is still heavily used by defense contractors and various Homeland Security/DOD groups. Once you purge _all_ OpenSource from it the OS really is rock solid and secure.

During the time around the Bejing (sp?) Olympics, the largest and most modern Chinese steel mill was being designed and scheduled to be built after the games. The came to America for a custom control system written in FORTRAN running on OpenVMS. I know because I architected it.

A certain very famous brewer of dark beer in Ireland supposedly uses it to make their tasty beverages.

Most steel and paper mills around the world run OpenVMS for process control. A large number of nuclear power plants as well.

Putting it bluntly. OpenVMS, with _all_ OpenSource removed, is the OS humans bet the species on each and every day.

If you want to read a novella which has a big section discussion what happens when OpenVMS suddenly doesn't exist you should read this:
