From the article: "Finally, the increase in fatalities has been largely among bicyclists, motorcyclists, and pedestrians--all of whom are easier to miss from the driver's seat than, say, a 4,000-pound SUV."

It is also not at all helpful, in at least the instance of pedestrians, that far too many of them have forgotten (or choose to ignore) what they should have been told as a child: "look both ways before crossing the street" and "don't cross when it is not safe to do so".

I regularly see pedestrians who approach a crosswalk across a four-lane arterial road with heavy traffic moving 35-45mph in both directions who do not look for oncoming vehicles, do not slow down, and just barrel on across, expecting that the traffic will always stop (or even can stop, the laws of physics don't get overruled or revoked simply because the pedestrian has the right of way).

It is almost as if some of these pedestrians actively want to become one of those increased fatalities.

I feel like I should remind you here that many non-citizens are actually tax-payers. Taxes are paid in many different ways, but let's forget about that here for a second and realize that many non-citizens actually come here legally to work.

A blanket statement like that really doesn't mean anything. Same arguments were given about dreamers using tax-payer money, without realizing many of them actually are tax-payers as well.

Authors' conclusions:

Exercise is moderately more effective than a control intervention for reducing symptoms of depression, but analysis of methodologically robust trials only shows a smaller effect in favour of exercise. When compared to psychological or pharmacological therapies, exercise appears to be no more effective, though this conclusion is based on a few small trials.
All of the arguments given for Object Pascal in this article could apply to other languages.

A better question might be "why use Object Pascal over Language X"?

I could see a niche in cross-platform desktop development, assuming you didn't want to go the Electron route (and there's valid reasons for doing so). I've worked in Qt quite a bit in my desktop days and Qt/C++ is quite complex.

Object Pascal still has manual memory management though, IIRC, which is a large portion of that complexity.

Hotswapping just like security is one of those things that is hard to bolt on later, unless it is built in deeply into the very core of the language / runtime.

Erlang (and Elixir) define hotswapping very well. It is a standard way to upgrade code in production in some places. And even with it being well defined it is still very hard and there are enough corner cases to handle.

But when used correctly, it is really magical and can achieve nice properties.

Besides just upgrading code, hotswapping (at least in Erlang) can be used for debugging -- you can update the running code with extra log statements to catch sneaky corner cases. Maybe it is a customer setup, that is very hard to replicate.

Or you can use it for local development, as you edit code, the module gets auto-reloaded (with a helper).

It can also be used to deliver hot fixes. Say if the fix is simple and the customer cannot wait for a full release to be built, can update their system on the spot to tie them over. Not idea but I've seen it save the day many times.
Sendgrid also does marketing emails now right? Your thoughts on it?
The article talks about referring to resources by using URLs containing opaque ID numbers versus URLs containing human-readable hierarchical paths and names. They give examples like bank accounts and library books.

This problem about naming URLs is also present in file system design. File names can be short, meaningful, context-sensitive, and human-friendly; or they can be long, unique, and permanent. For example, a photo might be named IMG_1234.jpg or Mountain.jpg, or it can be named 63f8d706e07a308964e3399d9fbf8774d37493e787218ac055a572dfeed49bbe.jpg. The problem with the short names is that they can easily collide, and often change at the whim of the user. The article highlights the difference between the identity of an object (the permanent long name) versus searching for an object (the human-friendly path, which could return different results each time).

For decades, the core assumption in file system design is to provide hierarchical paths that refer to mutable files. A number of alternative systems have sprouted which upend this assumption - by having all files be immutable, addressed by hash, and searchable through other mechanisms. Examples include Git version control, BitTorrent, IPFS, Camlistore, and my own unnamed proposal: https://www.nayuki.io/page/designing-a-better-nonhierarchica... . (Previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14537650 )

Personally, I think immutable files present a fascinating opportunity for exploration, because they make it possible to create stable metadata. In a mutable hierarchical file system, metadata (such as photo tags or song titles) can be stored either within the file itself, or in a separate file that points to the main file. But "pointers" in the form of hard links or symlinks are brittle, hence storing metadata as a separate file is perilous. Moreover, the main file can be overwritten with completely different data, and the metadata can become out of date. By contrast, if the metadata points to the main data by hash, then the reference is unambiguous, and the metadata can never accidentally point to the "wrong" file in the future.

This is pretty big news for people living in Québec, as the Québec government invested heavily in the C-Series last year. At the time, the move was criticized as a big gamble and an irresponsible handling of taxpayer's funds because the C-Series' success was far from guaranteed and there were legitimate concerns about Bombardier's leadership.

With this move by Airbus, the government's stake in the project was reduced from 49% to 19%. I'm no economist, but it seems that the crisis was avoided?

I think that it is sad that we keep on creating new programming languages that are not radically different. The Zig language ecosystem faces the same problems as C and the compiler will preform many of the same tasks, lexing, parsing, optimizing, documentation, supporting all sorts of weird edge cases and use cases. From what I see in the introduction, I don't see a convincing case for a new language here. This kind of incrementalism is not worth another persons years of effort to create a parallel path.

I think that if you are going to spend years creating a new language, you ought at least to try something new. Otherwise, you become just another amateur landscape artists. Maybe you're paintings will look nice, but they'll never really be of any great value to society.
So why would I be interested in Zig rather than Rust, if I'm trying to replace C code with something safer and more modern?

I've done something similar for my side project which needs to receive emails. My side project is a monitoring tool, and inbound emails is one way of sending "I'm alive" messages to it. Link in profile.

I started with Mandrill inbound emails. Friendly UI, easy to understand, works as advertised.

Then I moved to AWS SES for inbound emails. I wrote a small Lambda function which dissects the email and forwards it to my HTTP endpoint.

With usage growing, SES was getting expensive as well. So I wrote a SMTP server in Go using this: https://github.com/mhale/smtpd It's very basic, doesn't support SSL, but seems to work OK in practice. My inbound email handling is now basically free.

I'm assuming the author is hosting Mailwizz on his own desktop machine? I didn't see the costings for an EC2 instance in his AWS breakdown.

If it is indeed his own machine, I wonder if he has factored in the data transfer costs to/from AWS. If he had an EC2 instance fired up, then the data transfer is free, however there is the monthly cost of the instance to consider.

Also, what about the stack that Mailwizz runs on? It it available as a simple turn key virtual or docker setup, or do we need to install a LAMP stack etc. to get it running? Time to get the stack running (and maintaining it to keep running) should also be factored into the $54 licence cost of the software.
Interesting approach! Coincidentally, I published an article [0] on this very topic last month. It uses sampling, so it's close to the approach mentioned in the Jamie Wong article you (and I) linked to, but with a path-tracing step capable of producing an SVG path definition. I'd be interested to see how the performance of these two methods stack up to each other for a given quality level.

I agree investors will continue to own these companies in a very big way. They won't continue to maintain much less inflate the premium that presently exists.

Microsoft for example has barely grown its income in a decade. On what planet should they have a 28 pe ratio? The stock has tripled (!) in five years on the back of zero income growth. It's massive value destruction just waiting to happen. Shareholders will not just sit, hold and tolerate the inevitable value destruction that is looming, it doesn't work as insurance at all in such a context.

Do you have reason to believe they won't be? Are you betting your business on the failure of Apache to do basic release engineering?

That's fair. Because you listed it then I think that's the "major" advantage. Is that right?

> ou forgot "by default" -- and probably never, not on Apache's main release tree. Or at least not for a long time.

Why? Let's Encrypt and HTTPS by default being something that a lot of people want, why do you think Apache will ignore that and not include mod_md in Apache "for a long time"?

Competition is good. I don't have major reasons to be afraid but I would like Caddy/Traefik and others to succeed. From the very basic mistakes they're making in coming up with a business plan, I don't think they will. And no, being open source alone is not reason enough to ensure project survival.

If you re-read your own comment, I think you're the one spreading FUD about those other projects (and their implied inability to outpace Caddy).

Current owner of Delicious here.

Here's my understanding of the history (which I hope people like joshu correct if I'm wrong):

The site was awesome and popular pre-Yahoo, but also pretty overwhelming to run. Yahoo brought it with resources, scale, and sweet, sweet promises that they understood Web 2.0. Instead, they quickly moved Joshua to a position where he couldn't really steer the product, and got sidetracked into redesigns and time sinks like integrating Yahoo ID as logins. The original, ambitious plan (integrate Delicious as a signal into Yahoo search, and make it unbeatable in real-time trending topics) was lost to management paralysis.

Yahoo disastrously announced it would 'sunset' the site before actually having a plan for it, so in winter 2010 a large number of people jumped ship. Sites like mine (Pinboard) benefitted a lot, Delicious was crippled.

The new owners at AVOS seem to have had a grandiose idea that they would repeat their YouTube-scale success, and rewrote the site accordingly, to serve billions. The handoff from Yahoo was one of data, not code (since things were written to run on Yahoo's platform) and required users to opt in. This hemmorhaged users further, while AVOS engineers wrote a bloated and ambitious Delicious clone.

But the biggest mistake was when AVOS turned off some features beloved by a core Delicious constituency, fanfic authors. In particular, they made it impossible to search on the "/" character in tags, which instantly rendered a lot of the elaborate fanfic tagging and classification scheme useless. In my mind, that's when Delicious hit the point of no return.

AVOS failed through some combination of founder grandiosity and short attention span. They managed to get the worst of all worlds—high spam, low revenue, and a $40K a month AWS bill. They sold to Science Inc., a bunch of LA tech bros who WROTE EMAIL IN ALL CAPS and owned a bizarre collection of other online apps.

When they tired of it, they sold it to Tony Aly, an SEO specialist who wanted to try his hand on a bigger project, but eventually found himself overwhelmed by the support and operational burden. At that point, he sold it to me, and I parked it on a couple of expensive servers and made it read-only.

To the question "what happened", I think the best answer is that Yahoo killed the site by neglect. AVOS took it past the point of no return by making it bloated, slow, and antagonizing the last remaining group of core users. None of its acquirers ever understood what it was for.

Except me. I understand you, Delicious! But I also compete with you. No more tears now, only dreams.
