Shameless self promotion but I'm writing my own shell, murex, as well[1]

The goals of mine are akin to Fish in terms of REPL use but with a greater emphasis on scripting.

Like Fish, murex also does man page parsing (in fact I wrote mine before realising Fish did the same), but unlike fish autocompletions can be defined by a flat JSON file (much like Terraform) as well as dynamically with code.

Currently I'm working on murexes event system so you can have the shell trigger code upon events like file system changes.

My ultimate aim is to make murex a goto tool systems administration tool - if just for myself - but the project is still young

Finally a modern shell that understands the importance of COMPATIBILITY! This gives it a realistic chance of getting real adoption. Shells like zsh and fish will never get mainstream adoption because they are not compatible with bash.
"There's lots of recreational activities like that that people start doing because they're very pleasant, then they start getting all competitive about them and take it all to extremes where the only reward is knowing you can beat the competition."

For those that haven’t seen it, intel is releasing a new chipset that has an integrated AMD GPU on it; I am eager to see how the sales for that go. It does seem to imply that intel has given up on their own iGPU aspirations, which makes no sense given how much they’ve doubled-down on the GPU tech in recent years. But it may be just intel playing the long game to compete with nVidia, which is just killing it in the GPU department in recent years.

As a PM on the team, I actually _share_ your concern! ;)

In fact, we're very mindful about the cognitive overhead of new features, but we're also motivated by pragmatism. These features have been highly demanded to help them write real-world code. My coworker Ryan has written up a pretty good explanation of why we tackled the feature set that we did: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16277367

Keep in mind that TypeScript strives to model JavaScript as it's written broadly. While we could always take the stance that you have to rethink the way you write JavaScript, that would be unnecessarily stubborn. Hope that gives some insight!

"This is the real problem. Philosophers can’t prove their own existence to themselves, how can they be expected to prove anything else?"

Whereas the rest of us are easily able to prove to our full satisfaction that atoms didn't exist, asbestos was safe, white flour no different than brown... etc, etc. It's not just possible for there to be too much certainty in the world, it's common - which is what that Billionaire knew thanks to courses in Philosophy, and exploited to earn his stash 'o cash.

Incidentally Buddhists think that any proof of individuality is false or tainted, too. Best lump them in there too. (Descartes had to please the church, we can't know his private opinion, just his published works with necessary nods to the church.)

> Shouldn't we discourage people from writing shell scripts?

...people frequently ask this? Tip #21 of "The Pragmatic Programmer" states: "Use the Power of Command Shells."
I like the idea, I've even written something similar myself, but for me a few things were not clear.

How would I load in data that is stored on my harddrive (not web addressable) without having to run my own server or go through the file selector popup box each time. User JS can't just read the harddisk (a requirement for web security). If I have to run my own server then a major selling point of this is gone.

I work with large tabled data and very often use vectorised functions using numpy or pandas, working on entire columns with a fantastically simple interface. A = B * x, for arrays B, scalars x returning a new array A. Is there something as beautiful available, working around the lack of operator overloading in JS? I've only seen string abuse like p('A') = p('B*x'). Auh.
You can always invoke a script and have it execute with the right shell using the shebang line.

> Pointing out that the book's subtitle is ''An Experiment in Literary Investigation,'' she said that her husband did not regard the work as ''historical research, or scientific research.'' She contended that it was, rather, a collection of ''camp folklore,'' containing ''raw material'' which her husband was planning to use in his future productions.

I wouldn't have gotten the joke about not actually being able to complain had you not added this comment. I would have interpreted the response as, "Meh, it's not too bad."
> "I disagree, i do think we may have a misunderstanding on experts."

I have no problem with "experts" in general, but I do think we have a misunderstanding with regards to experts in the field in question.

What incentives are in play for the experts behind that website to be honest? Let's conduct a role play. Consider that I'm the expert in question, and I decide I want to short the stock for a company (i.e. bet that the stock price will fall rather than rise). In this situation, what would be the best advice I could give on this website to make sure my bet works out? I would mark down my "confidence score" (which is effectively what the website publishes) in order to maximise my chances of making money. The financial health of the company is secondary. The financial health will have some influence on how likely the bet I placed is likely to succeed, but it's not the only factor at play.

Benjamin Graham (Warren Buffett's mentor) summed up the most obvious path for a successful investor to take by stating "The intelligent investor is a realist who sells to optimists and buys from pessimists.". Taking this a step further, without knowing the financial position of the "expert" you're getting advice from, how do you know if the "expert" is in the market to buy, to sell, or is neutral? I would suggest to you that you don't know that, and with that in mind any advice you get from an anonymous investor is advice to be taken with a large dose of salt.

Just in case you think I'm just describing a hypothetical situation, there have been high profile cases where investment firms were caught betting against the advice they gave their clients. For example:

To name but a few reasons off the bat:

1. Twitter is selling content feeds to TV news networks. With enough bots out there your tweet may very well end up on TV.

2. It counts for SEO. I once met a guy in 2010-ish who was into casino SEO. He was running a network of ~150k FB/Twitter accounts to promote articles that quoted the oddball news outfits that quoted his clients' press releases.

3. Some people actually read what's going on on Twitter. In particular journalists and swaths of opinion leaders. See any late night show, really, for ample Twitter coverage.

4. Some people with tons of followers occasionally retweet garbage memes on Twitter, including racist videos tweeted by white supremacist UK groups that turn out to be fake.

Your example actually makes me feel even worse about dockless bike sharing. If 600 people take a bike to a train station in my city and then leave them there, that would completely block access to the train station, use of the sidewalk around it, and possibly part of the street in front.

I don't know if docks are an essential part of the formula - I'm a bit worried about how inherently monopolistic the dock model is - but the dockless model seems like it is inherently in conflict with the idea of keeping the public right-of-way clear for public use. Real estate around places like train stations and major destinations is scarce, and companies really shouldn't have unlimited ability to use that space for storing their equipment, free of charge.

I suppose the city or private property owners could reserve the right to collect nuisance bikes and hold them for bond, sort of like towing improperly parked cars. If bike sharing companies hold the person who got the bike "towed" responsible for any fees resulting from where they left the bike, similar to what would happen with a car share program, then maybe that would do the trick.
I would love to get copies of your script if you wanted to email a link. I'm not so interested in bots but I am interested in social network analysis.

I don't know about Tumblr wrt porn - my impression is that there's a lot of sexual material there but that it's community-driven rather than commercial, partly due to the demographics of its user base.

Why do people care about "COMPATIBILITY" so much w.r.t. shells? It's so easy to use other shells to run your script.

> /bin/bash your_script.sh

And if your script is written with bash in mind, use a shebang:

> #! /bin/bash

And it will work perfectly fine on fish. As long as I have a bash binary, why do I need COMPATIBILITY?

I hope that in the next version they will improve support for dynamic typing even further by disabling static typing.

I spent a memorable day once with a Turkish acquaintance who was also doing archival research in Lisbon when I was doing my PhD work there. Her mother came to visit and we walked all around the city.

My acquaintance's mother and father both turned out to be prominent Turkish intellectuals. I asked her mother how she'd met her father - it turned out they met in prison. She said that was a pretty common origin story for Turkish academic couples of her generation, because that was where all the smart people were.
While I don't pretend to have been party to internal FB conversations when certain decisions were made, as an advertiser, FB has definitely done some things to significantly erode that trust over the years.

For starters, encouraging advertisers to spend money to build up an audience with the assumption they could continue reaching that audience much like email, only to throttle organic reach to zero was pretty bad.

There have been other things such as being extremely...generous...with the definitions of how some ad metrics are defined and what defaults are presented. Even as an experienced advertiser who knows to look for those things, the lengths to which some of it it is buried is astounding to the point of it being hard to trust that it wasn't intentional. And the recent lawsuits around such things shows I'm not alone in that feeling.
Here in Italy, supposedly a Catholic stronghold, I have absolutely no problem and no repercussions whatsoever declaring myself an atheist. I could easily run for public office and not be penalised on account of that (not that I would expect to win). Quite honestly nobody gives a shit.

And yet, in my few, brief visits to the US, I've learnt to avoid the topic or outright lie. I've noticed, according to an informal and unscientific survey, that I can declare myself to pretty much any religion (including Zoroastrianism, excepting Satanism) and get nodding approvals or at the very least tolerance. If I let slip that I'm an atheist on the other hand and I'm usually in for it.

Actually they start feeding immediately, but the bacteria which causes lyme disease lives in the ticks intestinal system (not all ticks carry the bacteria). After the tick is done feeding (in general approx. 1-2 days but can be longer or shorter), or overfeeds, it can ’vomit’ back into the host and possibly spread the bacteria from its intestines. This is also why you want to be careful when removing the tick and it’s best to use special plyers, and avoid squeezing the ticks body.
Manipulating processes, exit codes and output is idiomatic in shells and that's where they shine. I totally agree with you.

In a general purpose programming language there's a lot of overhead for doing the same things.

For maintainability, there are now linters for shell languages that can help making the job easier.

>While Alexa is constantly listening, it only records data after the "Alexa" or "Amazon" commands are given. However, the Echo speaker was reportedly streaming music near the tub, and investigators believe it could have been awakened intentionally or accidentally. If so,the presence of a recording could tell them if Bates was awake when he said he was sleeping, for instance.

It only sends data after hearing its wake up words, just like everything else. If it were constantly streaming they would be caught as soon as someone decided to fire up wireshark (i.e. very soon after release.)
Quite often not.

Attention is the ultimately rivalrous commodity, and it's very easily consumed. Where true significance is carried by what's hidden or indirect, this can be especially pernicious.
I and most other developers I know use zsh, because it's focused on features interactive use and not scripting. Who cares about bash compatibility? Bash scripts are run by, well, /usr/bin/env bash. For DevOps/IT I could understand the concern.

France is a lot more compact than US, which makes for much more effective protesting - that is also true of other European countries. You can get to Paris from pretty much any point in France in few hours by hopping on a relatively cheap train, and blocking the capital with marches and protesting is a huge deal that people have to listen to. I know the same approach works to some great results in Poland - even if you're a miner from a rural town, you can get to Warsaw on a train in 3-4 hours for about $10 and protest all day long right in front of the parliment and get back home the same night. In US the impact is lessened, because it's very costly and time consuming for a lot of people to get to washington to protest, and protesting in state capitals is not quite as effective(and can still be expensive to get to, depending where you live). Also people don't get such strong employee protections, in EU no one could ever fire you for protesting, but in US if you miss work to go to a demonstration you can be fired without recourse.
Refueling GEOs will probably never be profitable. They already last for 15+ years and are replaced by much improved satellites when they are retired. Keeping an old one running isn't worth it because the orbital slots they are in are too expensive.

IMHO, asteroid mining only makes sense if you are also manufacturing things in orbit (like spaceships and orbital colonies). All of these plans to deorbit the mined materials are crazy talk IMHO. Even if you find some amazing near solid platinum asteroid nearly in orbit already the costs of mining it and bringing the material back to Earth make it extremely difficult to compete against terrestrial mining.

If you are actually manufacturing stuff, then you are much more free to choose your orbit. You can even choose to orbit the moon instead to reduce the possibility of disaster.
If you use the same shell interactively as you script in, then you only have to learn the one language.
Thanks so much for taking the time to respond in such a thorough manner :)

I really appreciate the work that the TS team is doing, and understand that they are up to a very difficult task in trying to keep up with JS while also augmenting the type system capabilities to cover more cases.

With regards to making the language more complex, yes, i agree that it's not something pretty, but at the same time i find these kind of additions similar to the recent JS additions: you can still ignore them if you don't need them. E.g., you can still code perfectly fine without using classes, or symbols, or whatnot. There is the issue of having to deal with different "dialects" of JS/TS when reading others' code, but that still happens in pretty much every mainstream language i know of :/
Haha... Just an example: actually last release of Web3 (1.0.x) is not supported by metamask.
> Does philosophy really improve critical thinking and reasoning skills?

I hope that's a joke. Lest you ignore all those that laid the foundations of western thinking like Socrates, Plato and Aristotle.

Socrates was the one of the first people to infer the validity of one's thinking by following the thinking to it's natural conclusion by asking questions. This is inline with (and probably inspired) verifying a scientific theory by making predictions and verifying them.

Plato talked the theory of forms. That everything can be classified, abstracted, and reasoned about. The first is inline with classes (in OOPS), and the last part with functional programming.

Aristotle took Plato's classification idea, and was the first known person to classify animals and plants. Oh, only that allowed the rest of science to startup.

Btw, Socrates taught Plato who taught Aristotle.

I am not a philosophy major, so I am sure what I covered is just a bit of what they did (and taught others).

It is very necessary to know and understand how we came to think in a certain way today (because it is not natural), visit the foundations of the knowledge we have today, to understand the world when the tools we know and use are too specialized to use.
Many people have pointed out time and again that the only way to convince politicians on this issue, or any issue where they receive substantial funding, is to make them feel the pain points personally. I'm not making a judgement call as to whether they simply do not understand the plight of those affected, or don't care unless it hurts them personally.

However, this concept betrays the actual feelings of large companies like Google and Netflix that claim to be Pro Net Neutrality. They've had over a year to implement a "Congressional access slowdown" protest, and have done nothing of the sort to demonstrate the issue to congress. People should recognize that these companies will benefit from slow lanes in that they can afford faster ones, while upstart competition cannot.
