> Python beat Perl for two reasons [...]

The reason I personally left Perl was the extremely hostile community. When someone asked a simple question, not only would they get an overhaul and namecalling, but so would anyone that tried to help them.

Python seemed to do a much better job at onboarding new people. To me, that seems like the most important reason they won in the long run.
The Verge, Bitcoin Gold and MonaCoin Hacks: All You Need to Know
Reddit user ocminer was the first to notice both attacks. The user commented that Verge’s system had not been properly repaired since April, and that “since nothing really was done about the previous attacks (only a band-aid), the attackers now simply use two [algorithms] to fork the chain for their own use and are gaining millions.”
In this case it is a contracting company, not an individual being hired on as a "contractor", who is said to have taken a contract that they could not reasonably fulfill. That is a much less ambiguous situation, and one that seems to be running rampant in businesses these days.
I believe that the journey can be exhausting and fatigue as well. The closer you get to completion, the longer you’ll have worked on the project, the more like you are to be fatigued. Any long journey will take its toll on you.

The rendering engine in Windows is accessible. It has not been as advanced as V8 but it is getting better and that means you can, or will soon be able to, create an app with html+css+js and run it on Windows without downloading a full engine.

For the more common solutions I think computers already have enough memory to handle this. The boot time is a bit too long but if each app uses 200-300 MB does not mean _that_ much when the computers have 8 GB or more.

Due to centralization of hardware the Chinese government can trivially do a 51% attack. That's a form of centralization your ignoring due to an overly specific definition.

The tiny block size is arguably an ongoing 51% attack from an oligarchy that is in collusion. Again, depending on what you consider centralization having a tiny group that's in direct communication easily qualifies.

Pas: In your example if the only option is to use picks from one company or your hands because other tools are confiscated at the enterance then it's very centralized.

Building the second best consumer map product is not merely “ok”. Apple have done something that very few companies in the world have the skill or resources to be able to do.

It’s not fair to say that Apple are slacking when an amazing experience depends of solving incredibly hard computing problems that have nothing to do with product design. They’re competing against Google, a company whose entire mission is to organise and data and turn it into products.
I think this is why it's super useful to have a cofounder for a side project: there's someone to let down (besides yourself) when you give up too soon.

This is also why funding (and employees) helps a lot of startups. Not so much the money itself, but an ever growing consortium of people who literally have a vested interest in the thing continuing. It's harder to give up when people are counting on you.

If your side project isn't the kind where you want to make money in the end then you're going to need to have higher intrinsic motivation I suspect as none of these pressures will likely come to bear and help you stay motivated.
I just skimmed it in 30 minutes. I feel I can write some simple stuff now. Except for all the examples it doesn't feel that overwhelming.
So, BTC created 16 million coins from air and nobody complained. Ripple created 100 billion coins from air and nobody complained. Tron, Stellar, Cardano, Iota, all in the billions. The top 1000 coins were created from air and nobody complained (most are scams).

Why creating Tethers from thin air is now a cause of concern? That's a coin just like every coin out there, like Tron, Verge, EOS, they're created from nothing by a program, they have the value the market decides it has and the creator has all the right to print all the coins they want just like everybody else.

And the market has decided USDT has more value than all other coins combined as it is number two in volume just behind BTC.

People use USDT as a safe harbor when markets collapse, it has its use, a very valuable use. Of course they will print trillions if they could, everybody would print trillions of their shitty coins and cash out tanking the market if they could, that's the nature of cryptocurrencies.

I fail to see why people complain about Tether (highly valuable) and not about the rest of the scam coins that are draining the market from stupid money.

What language do you think beginners should be learning that would not keep them from what you say is ‘cognitive effort, detailed typing and symbolic work, algorithmic thinking, architectural thinking, linguistic thinking’. Perl? And why is Python incompatible with those things?

Like many of us, I started programming with BASIC, not C or assembly, but I turned out fine. I don’t think people need to or necessarily can absorb all the high level details straight off. To me python seems well organized enough that it makes a great language for beginners.
Spiking Linear Dynamical Systems on Neuromorphic Hardware for Low-Power BMI
I can only speak for myself but I consider myself to be some sort of pro academic. I should maybe consider a career at a university. Because one of my biggest flaws is that I love starting projects and following them through until I've learned everything new I can squeeze out of them.

> When I was younger I honestly thought there weren't many intelligent gay man, and that it was somehow a proof that I was never going to be really good. That was until I discovered Alan Turing was gay, and actively researched about intelligent gay people.

Indeed. Young people believing in themselves and feeling that the field will accept them is incredibly important. It reminds me of this quote from an article [1]:

> ...any healthy child—if taught early and intensively—can be brought up to be exceptionally successful in any field.

Children should be allowed to enjoy their childhood, but I think there is some ground to be covered in exposing more demographics to computer science early.

Ask HN: Why is there not a memory-safe C?
I'm going through a lot of "Why Rust?" reading material, and starting to wonder why is there no memory safe subset of C?

While going through Rust tutorials, I'm realizing how much more sophisticated Rust gets than C in terms of the language. So many syntactical things to remember.

Could there be a less powerful subset of C that we can use in situations where we're not building operating systems or distributed systems?
Its only gate-keeping if people want to be past the gate. I'm not talking about deterring people who are interested.

The vast majority of people do not want to be programmers and would not enjoy programming. Delaying the moment the actually have to do something difficult with a programming language is not especially heathly.

How would you feel about a career in football sold to you on the basis of table pong? Keep playing the pong, and then one day, you're face is in the dirt and you drop out.

The self-esteem hack psychology of the 60s-90s equivocated encouraging people with lying to them, as-if the only way we can get programmers is by lying about what programming is about. This isnt encouraging anyone, it's lying to them.
I usually think of it more as a three-dimensional spiral like a spring or a spiral staircase. Technically that's a helix, but "history is a helix" just doesn't sound as good for some reason.
Perl6 is mostly complete. Even though it has been getting significant weekly performance improvements (they have a weekly summary of these things), it still has a long way to go. It has a lot of really cool things such as simple to use concurrency, grammars, gradual typing...etc. It is a big language, but not super hard to learn. A bunch of books have been released on it in the past two years. Perl5 is used by companies now. Some are choosing to write new software in it, but there is a lot of legacy apps.

Remember that they are two different languages with some similarities. Perl6 has really good support for making big apps I would say as it has really good OO support out of the box in addition to making FP concepts easy too. Perl5 has atrocious support baked in, but they have the excellent libraries that everyone uses to give them world class support for OO. Still, it feels more natural in Perl6.

On another note, Groovy is another great and fast language that runs on the JVM and works very well in the scripting space with a lot of DSLs for GUI, XML, DB...cool stuff.

Welcome to the new Nim programming language forum
I’ve built a dozen apps over the past 10 years, most of them commercial, and I always encounter this dip that you describe as I approach the finish line. A number of commenters are suggesting it’s the fear of what comes next that is causing it, but I don’t agree.

For me, it’s so regular that I can see it creep up on me — all the major features completed, only the polishing and websites to complete, and it starts to hit me, trying to drag me down.

Steven Pressfield wrote a short book called The War of Art that talks about this. It’s common to any creative endeavour, whether you’re writing a novel or building a product. I’ve written a novel as well, and it hit me at the same time and in the same way — near the finish.

You need to power on through and come out the other end. All the problems and issues others have talked about will be there waiting, bit that’s a different can of worms.
I am in the same boat right now - a project is 90% complete but I have no motivation to do the last 10%. I blame laziness, but really it boils down to a few things:

1. The enjoyment of building - I quite enjoyed building this project, and once it's "done" that joy ends.

2. The fear of failure - what if it's a flop after I publish?

3. The hatred of sales - I'm a programmer, I don't want to deal with selling the product!
Not really. awk is pretty simple, basically I just assume it's plain C with a huge regexp pattern 'switch' case at the top level, then I google again for the arguments to substr() :-)
One cautionary note: Beware pushing/powering through incipient burnout, rather than addressing it. "Emotional debt" can be hard to pay off. I've had valuable projects that I was very reluctant to touch again, even years later.
The case of coins that optimise for consumer/general purpose hardware (by employing PoW algorithms suited for CPUs, or explicitely switching algorithms periodically) is interesting in this context.

Traditional cloud platform providers are also in a position to impact mining on those. I doubt that any coin could cope with those warehouses of potential mining power.

I'm looking closely at monero on this subject. Despite or because of their hardcore emphasis on privacy, that project has made interesting decisions regarding how to deal with potentially hostile miners.

Disclaimer: Yep, you guessed it, I hold coins, and monero is among them. I'm not saying buy XMR, but definitely take a look at their "politics".
It would be nice if HN had an all-around light moderation policy, with the sole exception that commenters who clearly haven't read the article and are debating with the title be barred from commenting for a certain period of time.
But after reading the article, you should agree with the decision, right? It was completely justified, and all options were explored.
I didn't think about it, but you may be on to something to watch out for... If Apple neglects the advise of automotive engineers for the sake of visual aesthetics that could be a red flag. Maybe they weren't going to ignore the engineers but didn't give off that vibe to the manufacturers they went to, who knows. I wouldn't want to drive with a car that puts aesthetics before known engineering safety decisions and the like.

Time will tell, I wish Apple the best in any regard. While I personally do not trust self-driving cars fully as a developer (software can and does fail for any given reason, and even car components aren't reliable / long lived enough in some cases, anyone else have that pesky tire air light come on recently? You'd think that sensor would just work kinda thing...) I don't mind some of the tech that could be created out of it, like warning a driver when they're trying to shift to a lane with a car too close for comfort, and other things. In other cases I wish we had self parking cars be much more common, some people just do not park right at all.
No, it's because those things are for working with large amounts of data. So some overhead is acceptable, as it ends up being a tiny percentage of the overall time spent when you're dealing with actually large data.
Sounds like it isn't very wise to come up with new cryptocurrencies as long as the mining network is unregulated and the double spending problem isn't solved...

This is so strange to me because I was unaware bitcoin was a real financial instrument any country would care about. I've had three financial advisors, from Edward Jones, Stifel Nicolas and a little guy around the corner, all tell me to stay away from bitcoins. One even told me that, in two years, bitcoin would be dead.

So this is all strange to me.
This austrian-style economic thinking about market cycles lines up with bitcoin ideology but is far from being accepted in mainstream economcs. It is flimsy pseudoscience.

There is no consensus about how consciousness arises from the brain specifically, or how it works. We're pretty sure that if the brain breaks, the expression of consciousness will also break (occasionally in predictable ways). Further than that, you can make no definite statements about it and call yourself scientific. It's still mostly a philosophical problem with no clear solutions.

Assistant is all about UX and the Apple of the past would do everything they could to be the best. I mean way better versus so far behind.

They have had plenty of time now to make Apple Maps better. Here is a great comparison.

Why is this acceptable?
Yes but that's a full UUID, using a 64bit integer with some encoding is far shorter.
Bitcoin is traceable by nature. Anyone who makes claims of anonymity either doesn't understand how it works or has a system in place that provides uncertainty (ie tumbling).

> Why creating Tethers from thin air is now a cause of concern?

If you are claiming they are backed by USD, and you are creating them out of thin air, then that's a scam.

Other coins are only valued based on how the market values them. There is no fraud there; you are not claiming that you will redeem them for something else, they just represent themselves and are valued based on how useful people find that particular kind of cryptocurrency, plus hype.

MtGox was also a scam by the end, since they were trading on their exchange bitcoins and USD that they didn't actually have for people to cash out.

Perl6 has grammars: https://docs.perl6.org/language/grammar_tutorial (recursive regex with sane syntax), which are much better than plain regex in many cases. Otherwise modern Perl5 is much more practical.
As far as the second part of your comment, I think if you make topics like this impenetrably difficult and complex at first, it will not only filter out the non-dedicated, but also those who don’t yet know that they would like to be dedicated to it.
