I write modern C++ as my day job and work on mobile apps in swift/objc/kotlin/dart, and services in python for fun on the side.

I don’t know if it’s just cuz I code modern C++ so much, but I’ve learned to love c++, even when compared to much easier and theoretically more productive languages like swift and kotlin.
That's a fascinating idea. Since reading PG's essay I've thought I was quite good at spotting submarining, but that wouldn't have occurred to me.

Promoting a negative opinion seems risky though. After all, isn't the dork factor widely regarded as being what killed the Segway?

Do you have any examples of when the "negative submarine" has been done successfully?
There is a reason minimalism exploded in popularity at the same time as youth poverty did.

In fact, whenever I've browsed the minimalism-inspired subreddits, I've always made a game of it: minimalism or poverty?

Of all those things, Google only really put their weight behind Angular, and Angular 1 was incredibly popular for a while. I still frequently see it in the job postings of other companies.

I doubt Go is only successful because of Google, but a large corporate sponsor seems to make or break most languages.
If you like everything, or if you say "my birthday is the 32nd of February", the algorithm can detect you're trying to defeat the system, and ignore you: you become a known unknown.

But if you start to like random things, or if you say "my birthdate is the 2nd of March" while it's not, you become an unknown unknown, and the algorithm must start to reason with your wrong data.
If I were you I would try to be realistic and cut my losses. Follow the advice of getting an accountant and focus on what is important for your company. If you had a good reason to start it then you should persist if it is appropriate, however if you where dreaming too much either change your priorities or cut your losses. Its your money at the end of the day.

As in terms of career wise I dont think a failed business is such a problem - as long as you can sell it in a positive light. Career wise being an English teacher is the bigger problem I think. Many People that I know from Asia - foreigners and natives - look down on these so called "white monkey jobs".

Also its strange that you use "suicide" and "my actions to reflect badly on other foreigners in Japan" in the same paragraph. If you are depressed you shouldn't care how other foreigners look by your actions.
Angular is widely successful in the enterprise, being the JavaScript framework mostly adopted by Java and .NET developers.

Dart hardly had any major Google backing, it looked like a way to keep some well known VM researchers busy, which were rescued by the AdWords team before the project kind of folded.

Flutter looks like some of those developers trying to find a killer application for Dart, while being allowed some air time on Google's conferences, while Google management is full speed on Android and Web stacks.

Polymer has never about the framework, rather a way to push WebComponents as sane way to do web development, which up to HTML Templates they have been quite successful regarding adoption across browsers.
The common joke about buying a motorcycle is that "buy honey I will save money on gas" but it suffers the same issues for most that bicycles and scooters have which you mentioned.

This isn't about cities not favoring alternate modes of transportation but the realities of our daily lives. From distance to job, some time cause by having to change employers, to have so many things to do and little time to get them done. So once you start adding on the weather, the needs to carry stuff, or changes to your schedule, alternate modes quickly fall by the way side.

my issue with escooters is not the tech but the items highlighted in the article but I am not nearly as forgiving. I am not sure I want them in the bike lane and you know someone will ride on sidewalks. throw in no helmets or enforcement of requirements for one and its a recipe to hurt both riders and pedestrians. plus when people don't own it they don't respect it. not for all people but there are more than enough who just act out wrongly. there are stories of people dumping them in rivers, dumpsters, and even just breaking them. In a perfect society...
Phoenix and Elixir are great. The negatives I have are: not a comparatively large community, not many companies using it, and it doesn’t have the breath of options via package management that frameworks like rails have.
> main thread

I tend to give every custom "singleton" window its own thread -you don't have to limit yourself to one main thread and I dislike modal interactions. Performance in that sense was great and taking care to correctly use Invoke/BeginInvoke made hassle free multithreading a breeze.

> and don't create an enormous amount of controls

That's exactly what I did. I created so many controls, the application rendered white boxes with a red strikethrough or outright crashed. WPF does not have that problem and additionally offers virtualization to speed up visual containers containing lots of complex controls/children. Yet WPF is a complex, overengineered mess with a steep learning curve.

It was my first big project to write a desktop application -I used winforms for it and everyone loved it. It was a tiny .exe file. I tried rewriting it in WPF three times but gave up every time...

Sounds like you need to focus on yourself. There are many unanswered questions in the situation you've described:

1. Why are you in Japan? Is it a good place for you?

2. Why have you not been able to hold a programming job?

3. Why have you found it difficult "to do anything" with this or while with other companies?

4. Why are you concerned with what the Japanese people will think of other foreigners in relation to your actions?

5. How much of your savings can you recover from the company?

You seem like quite a self-aware person and yet your question lacks many of the contextual elements other people would need to help you. I think you need to talk this over with someone in person - probably someone with experience.
> "camelCase", "camelcase" and "camel_case" are the same (though CamelCase isn't)

I find this horrifying and think it probably reflects deep philosophical differences between myself and the creators of Nim. Languages shouldn't make assumptions and how to interpret my typos. They should tell me about the typo and suggest a possible fix.

Hell is other people
Most of your friends, family, coworkers, etc. have your e-mail or your phone number (or both). Some (most) of them use facebook, and a significative portion of them share those information with facebook, so even if you never subscribe to the service, they know a few things about you (your name, phone number, e-mail address and some of your acquaintances), and they know they don't know anything else about you (which is some sort of information too).

> "BLITW" still sucks if might as well write the code in Notepad because the editor/IDE integration sucks.

We have better editors than notepad that work with any language, and there's plenty of people getting work done with fairly barebones editor setups making no use of language integration at all.

> "BLITW" sucks if the community consists of 8 people on github.

While adoption and library availability are clearly huge factors, they're not necessarily absolute requirements. There are plenty of good (and surely also many bad) reasons why many real-world codebases are practically isolated from the wider community despite being written in a widely adopted language.

If some language was clearly the best in the world, or even just demonstrably superior in a way that is meaningful to whatever your requirements are, it can be a totally reasonable decision to choose that language for your project even though you won't be able to reach to github for a lot of conveniences, you'll have to write code in stock vim and you'll have to invest some extra time to get new contributors up to speed.

I don't know if Crystal is that language, I'm not even in a great hurry to try it to find out, but I feel like if I waited until a language had reached Go levels of mindshare before taking it seriously I'd probably be missing out.
At this time the only reason I'd upgrade would be to go from 32 G ram to 64. 32 is barely enough if i happen to need a couple VMs up and the usual 100 tabs of docs in the browser :(
As much as i like OpenStreetMaps, i wouldn't really consider it a great alternative for google maps.

You need to find someone to handle accounting/tax filings for you. This is exceedingly common, especially for smaller and one-person companies. You outsource all administrative work. It's also usually possible to find expats that speak your language and that charge very reasonable money for this.

This should take care of freeing up your time for actual work, but it's up to you to fight your procrastination.

You release fman on Linux, so you use at least some open source libraries. I wonder which ones are those and what is your policy of transferring a share of your earnings from your project to them.

Also I suggest anybody using this software with a paid subscription to evaluate this bit from the EULA:

> fman is provided as-is. You are using it at your sole risk. We give no warranty of any kind. You agree that we shall not be liable for any damages related to fman.

Source: https://fman.io/eula

Also, stop this FUD already. Anybody can release software however they want, free, libre or not, but this attitude that I quote from your link is plain wrong.

> We all like free stuff. But in a world where everything is free, we are the product.

We're talking about FOSS software here, not about Facebook or Google. If you don't want people "bashing a little guy who's trying to innovate", you can quit spreading misinformation about people whose gratutiuous libraries and kernels you use (yes every platform you release to uses FOSS somewhere).

I run it on my server in the basement, but you could go for a Digital Ocean droplet, there used to be "one click" installs, but I'm not finding those anymore [0].

The question was more: why does the law allow this? They are using one company to benefit another, then leaving it in debt without financial liability. Seems like a gaping loophole in the law there.
Some remarks:

> The forward button is the same as the back button with it rotated around 180 degrees, the original def being just two lines.

A sane minimal arrow button will be just one short path; referring to the other and rotating it 180 degrees can easily be more verbose and complex.

> I also want to put them in the stylesheet with ::before and ::after pseudo elements.

This is incompatible with several of your other goals: currentColor, <use>, <title>, <description>.

> I also don't want width and height in my icons. I want just the viewbox.

In some contexts there are distinct advantages to specifying width and height; most notably, in inline SVG, before the stylesheets which define the size have loaded, they will tend to fill the available width instead, leading to massive icons briefly, or if the stylesheets simply fail to load (or are blocked).

> I also want to have titles and descriptions in my icons, in this way I can have useful mouseover text.

Better still, have actual text beside the icon. Text is really good. Icons and text is commonly really good. (In that case, you just want aria-hidden=true on the icon.) Icons with no text are generally just a bad idea.

> Maybe I get my 'service worker' to do the work rather than have the icons embedded as inline on every page. […]

You have bamboozled me with this one.
While it is old to you, HN prefers to add a year to the title so that others might happen upon it if they missed it in the past. Not everyone is able to watch HN 24/7, and new discourse might have come up since the last time this was posted.

Leaving out the sarcasm tags is also equivalent to expecting that your code is so obvious that it doesn't need any comments.
That could be a rational way of looking at it, but consumers aren't rational. I think revenue being tied to value is much more important in purchasing decisions.

Most software that was a one-off purchase model and have now become a subscription model, have added significant service-based features. Examples that come to mind are 1Password that now has family sharing and team collaboration features, or Office 365 which has sync/storage and more web sharing features.

It could be argued that the sustainability of subscriptions enabled these features, but I think it's much more symbiotic - these features enabled a subscription model to work.

For an example of where this hasn't gone as well, I'd look to Ulysses which has moved to a subscription model but doesn't have service based features, and which you do not get to keep using at all if you stop paying. This has resulted in a backlash from customers that can be seen in the reviews online.

The content of the link is FUD. He portrays FOSS as if it was like the exploitation schemes the ad supported free stuff, saying: "But in a world where everything is free, we are the product."

I did downvote him, although I'd not disagree with him (or anyone else) preferring to produce closed-source software. He could've justified himself w/o telling lies about the other side.
>Such quackery. Why do people feel it's valid to come up with fantastical conjectures about physics with absolutely no reason to do so?

Because people have inner lives and feelings and dreams and imaginations.

Agreed. Our house was an absolute steal because it hadn't been redecorated in 30 years. Plus we've had all the fun of gradually changing things to our liking in the 7 years we've lived there. Though it seems my wife and I are more tolerant to living in a building site than most.
Parcel.js aims to make web development simple again
There is a pretty promising answer to the current package management problems called OneGet:https://github.com/OneGet/oneget

The answer depends on who you are, what you've done, and what your goals are. Developing a Rust skillset is absolutely an investment-- but is it a worthwhile investment for you?
> and the Linux apps appear on the Windows Start panel.

GUI's are explicitly not the focus of WSL, and WSL is not VM's - it's running native Linux code on top of the Windows kernel. It is possible to run an X server on your windows and let your Linux gui binaries use that though.
>You would be right if he was talking about the "subjectivity of perception". But he is not. He is talking about "stars exploding far away", and the expansion of the universe, and relativity.

It's called having an imagination and asking hypotheticals.

He didn't put out a paper on a physics journal saying that it is so.

In fact many scientists started exactly that way -- from asking wild hypothetical questions. Whether you pursue a specific validated answer is up to your job, Glass is not a physicist.

So if you are willing to believe a data point like that, then clearly helmets make people less safe.

Having been in a high speed accident, a helmet saved my life.

The article also states that walking is no more dangerous than riding a bike, though physics disagrees.

I'm curious why it costs so much to handle the paperwork/filings for a company that sounds like it's essentially dormant. Is that just normal in Japan?

Also is 50k the cost of incorporation or the capital required to incorporate in Japan? If so, if he/she dissolves the company can she get some of that back?

To the original poster, I wish you all the best, sincerely, you can get through this, and like others have said you can make back the 50k, try not to worry about that, that only pays for a couple of years of private school for a little kid where I live.
