I edited in the Clojure part after you replied.

Languages that have forgone static typing aren't necessarily trying to solve everything using language types at runtime. See eg Clojure's approach. Or SQL's.

But at the base popularity-contest level the answer is clearly yes: Dynamic languages have been on a roll for the last 30 years - Perl, Python, Ruby, Erlang, Clojure, even JS.

That's an interesting point. The slide implies there will be no next great programming language because academia nor industry nor hobbyists can deliver it, but overlooks the possibility of a combination working together. For example, Rust started as Graydon Hoare's hobbyist language and then development was sponsored by Mozilla.

Interested in how you think Kotlin interop is better than Groovy? Curious because that to me is one of the main things that makes me choose Groovy in some situations over other languages (eg: Scala, Clojure, Jython, etc) where the impedance mismatch is much higher.
They generally require PMI, so still an extra payment out of pocket, are usually hard-capped at 30% of buyer’s current income, and take looong time to close compared to strong cash offers with conventional loans, so sellers view them as last-resort.

They cite https://arxiv.org/abs/1610.09887 for their definition of network depth, which defines it in such a way that e.g. a ReLU network of depth 2 is of the form linear2(ReLu(linear1(input))). That means, depth is the number of linear layers.

The "depth-three" model in this paper is a bit strange in that their second layer has only one output, so the third linear layer doesn't have any effect. I would have called this "depth two"; but it is internally consistent with their definition of depth.

It is 1-Lipschitz, which is smooth enough for them.

For anyone interested, run Google Earth (the real desktop version), zoom in on the SF Peninsula from Palo Alto through Cupertino or Saratoga, select View/Historical Imagery, and then run the slider back to 1948 or 1953.

As you keep zooming in, look for a regular grid of dark dots in many places. These are orchards. Of trees. With fruit on them. All over the valley!

I worked at Tymshare in the '70s when we moved into two new buildings on the north side of Valley Green Drive between Beardon and Bandley (now Apple buildings). The first year we were there, they'd only built one of the two buildings, and the lot for the other building was still an apricot orchard.

We got to pick all the apricots we could eat. What a glorious summer!

The next year they built the second building, and it was less glorious. Tymshare had just acquired Douglas Engelbart's research team, and then discovered they had no idea what to do with the technology. It really didn't fit into any of Tymshare's business initiatives.

I remember running into Doug a few times there, and he always seemed a bit forlorn after a "successful exit" but now facing an uphill battle getting the company on board with anything he was doing.

A few years after that, microcomputers became a thing. Some of us had experimented with them and thought they had potential. But when we talked with the sales and marketing people, the message was clear: Tymshare had a successful and profitable business with their mainframe timesharing services. They didn't want to get into microcomputers, because they could be a threat to the established business lines.

And you know what, they were right!

Well, hard working is the answer.

The fundamental problem is that hard working for the right thing. Modern capitalism has perfected the art and tech to force people to work on inconsequential work (thinking Google hired so many to lure people clicking ads).

If people were freed and have the resource to work on things they care, the people who want yacht, probably had good chance to get it; and the people who want to go to Mars, should also have the change not entirely in the hands of a billionaire business man disguised as a genius technologist.

Instead of asking why an Uber can't pick someone up at the friends/family pickup lane, why not ask this question:

Why shouldn't a taxi be allowed to pick people up at the same place that friends/family would?

An Uber is, for all intents and purposes, a cab - not a friend.

I assure you, the SeaTac taxi lane existed long before Uber. This isn't some petty anti-Uber ruling.

My last CEO was a great leader, except he showed up at 10am most days. Employees saw him get to work 90 minutes after they did. They didn't see that he stayed until 9p most nights since most of them were gone by 530. He lost the respect of the employees because he never understood that the example he set was visual. And he got fired despite the executives who worked closely with him all thinking he did a great job.
Let's not forget, sometimes when you need some really basic functionality, you don't have to reach for a module that maybe does a lot more than what you need. For example, the last time I needed svg inlined into a web app I was working on, this is the quick component that I whipped up:

I dug into it a bit further, and apparently the story is that the Darwin Awards used to be more crowd-sourced, but as a direct result of the incident I'm referring to, they instituted heavy moderation and apologized for any distress caused by their seeming approval of a tasteless article.

I do understand net neutrality, my example might have been poor though.

Electricity companies can’t (reliably) tell what you’re using the power for so in a sense they do act as dumb pipes (except they do care if you use it for commercial vs residential), but they don’t strive to be dumb pipes. To put it in terms of your space heater analogy, they can’t give you electricity that only works with your space heater, so they’ll give you rebates for using a specific space heater.

The goal is the same, the implementation just takes the limitations of granularity in metering electricity usage.

I know what net neutrality is, and I have no problem with a non-neutral internet. It’s not the same as a lawless unregulated internet. Right now zero-rating is what ISPs have taken advantage of it for. People argue zero rating means base prices must be encompassing the cost of the “free” service, but it’s coming with strings attached like reduced bandwidth or as a way to attract new users. While I do feel certain companies might be able to use zero-rating to reinforce monopolies, I don’t feel zero-rating inherently creates an environment where companies can’t compete.

If ISPs do take further moves to absurd it, those moves can still be regulated/blocked, but my experience in many other countries has been that it doesn’t progress further than that, certainly not to the 2 mock images shown in the article (the one real one has a subtle, but important difference, access isn’t blocked if you don’t choose one of those packages, you just pay the normal base rate)

That being said, I’ll refrain from talking about net neutrality on HN. This is the crowd that would have the most reasons to support it. After all, zero rating on Netflix doesn’t help a unicorn become the next Netflix, and there are plenty of people here who feel like all of this goes against the very spirit of the internet.

But it’s impossible to have a meaningful discussion when everything you say is immediately downvoted to ghost status. I mean I made that were barely more than a single fact got downvoted until they couldn’t easily be read anymore, and people are still mass downvoting my statements hours later.
It's only a problem if you use it.

potential energy = HAM = Height * Acceleration(due to gravity) * Mass.

Height = 250m

Acceleration(on earth) = 9.8 m/s/s

Mass = pi * r^2 * h = pi * 125m * 125m * 500m * 3 g/cm^3 = 7.36e13

HAM = 250 * 9.8 * 7.36e13 = 1.8e17
~9Wh/kg for the best supercaps, compared to the old (and still standard) lead-acid maxing out around 42Wh/kg. Li-ion maxes out at amazing 265Wh/kg but they are always? small and scaled up by putting many in parallel... and if you damage one it's emergency fire preparedness time.

My thoughts are that we don't really need more languages. Arguably we don't need better ones either, because they aren't the problem in general computing. Instead we need better design paradigms that better let us model complex requirements and systems into code. Let's have new languages that then support those paradigms.

We continue to struggle abstracting complex problems using functional decomposition, structured analysis, information (data) modeling, and object-based decomposition.

Many newcomers I meet only know modeling problem domain concepts as data in a database, with behavior and constraints acting on that data in a separate layer, organized using functional decomposition. Of course that layer increasingly approaches a 'big ball of mud' as size and complexity increases. Sounds a lot like we are back data-flow modeling as so popular in the 1980's, in a new guise.

A focus on programming languages in my opinion, masks the real issues we face.

Lots of comments here about how to be a successful CEO. We should all be looking at Elon Musk as the prime example. Work 120 hour work weeks when the going is tough, 100 hour weeks when the going's good, and if you're just starting out, spend every waking hour on your product/company.

If you do this, people will tell you you're insane, and you'll eventually stop. That's why Elon is different, because he cannot stop. I feel that this alone explains 90% of the CEO question - who can choose to stop and who cannot choose to stop.
> Am I missing something?

No, you're just bringing up a separate issue from the one implied by the parent.

Your own risk tolerance, the values of your life, the opportunity costs outside of this one -- those are real complexities but we ignore them to answer a question about how best to maximize your bankroll within the current situation.

12 Behavioural Interview Questions to Ask Developers
You can't assume the status quo, in which I'd agree you'd be correct.

The big deal right is now that is almost certainly a causal relationship between the skyrocketing cost of education and the ease of access of student loans. If you have a customer base who thinks your product has a practically infinite value and they access to x funds, then your price is going to approach x. Lenders are incentivized to just keep pushing x higher and higher. Their price point limitation is going to be when their lifetime 'rent' of real lifetime expected earnings starts to become comparable to the real value of their loan. A quick search shows real median lifetime earnings for low value majors at about $800k. 15% there would be $120k. It's actually a good bit higher than that due to reasons outside the scope of this post.

When loans are constrained to the expected earnings of an individual, there is going to be an incentive to offer loans that the individual not only can but will payoff rather than take the decade long credit hit of bankruptcy. Will somebody pay off a loan that's 70% of their disposable income? Probably not. Will somebody pay off a loan that's 5% of their disposable income? Probably.

This is what I meant by dismissal aligning the interests of lenders and students. Students obviously want loans they can comfortably pay off, and if loans were dismissible then lenders who would want to create loans that also fit this criteria. Instead we have this bizarre system creating results like your barista having an education that was supposedly worth 6 figures.

That said, no one should use a jammer. They are illegal in the US and that will expose the user to fines and potentially jail time. There are also legitimate times where someone might need to use a phone (emergency either at the performance or related to that person). As an example a friend of ours was an anesthesiologist who had to be 'on call'. There phone wouldn't ring but it would vibrate and they would leave if there was an emergency.

When I have been in a live theater that was disrupted (briefly) by a person using a phone, the effect response was to have the ushers escort them out and not let them return until after intermission, or if past intermission or no intermission, after the performance finishes.

Let people know before the show starts the consequences, and execute on those consequences when necessary. It seems to keep people respectful.
