Native binary is not a clear statement. On Android is CPU-native, really native? Or is CLR the future of Windows? CPU-native does not mean much. It means that you have a competition of almost all languages, that have head start and better tooling.

"Is FFI cheap on all interesting platforms?" is a better question, than "Does it compile to CPU-native binary on all interesting platforms?". In this space you only kinda get some JVM languages, but on Windows you would have to do something more special. Scheme to some extent. Also Haxe.

If you don't care about it you can read the rest of this thread with all other favorite languages. I for one cheer for Myrddin, Pony and Zig.

I was thinking lately about an imperative language, that would be easily compiled to other first class languages. To serve as a cross-platform core of application. It would be quite limited - for example no heap allocations. Something maybe akin to Google's Wuffs language. Just an idea on the one edge of the problem.

Most of the bang for their buck was when they used a plain old sorting of those ratings. That already hid a lot of the sludge. The ML stuff is just a minor optimization compared to that.

Everything is just my opinion, of course, they're probably following a bunch of metrics I don't have access to and which could prove that the ML effort was worth it.
I’m not sure what the implementation status is, but PEP 458 and 480 define how to integrate TUF with PyPI. It could be that pgp is being de-emphasized in favor of TUF?

(A quick search couldn’t tell me the integration status or if there are still plans to do so, but I’m familiar with the pypi plans from the TUF side)
This post says all you need to know about Twitter.

The very first thing they mention is engagement. They don't care about quality, or what users want, or to foster communication. They care about one thing and one thing only: engagement. More clicks, more likes, more moving around the interface.

This is something I've put together over the past couple of days. It's still a work in progress but I'm posting it here to get some critique and hopefully some contributions.

I'd love to see what others come up with. If you'd like to contribute take a look at the CONTRIBUTING.md file.

In my experience speed vs. reliability soon transmogrifies in inertia vs. rational (and usually inertia wins).

I'd like people that create "quick prototypes" and "just a throwaway excel with a few macros" realized that while they are valuably shortening the time to get something usable they are also shortening the time before their thing turns in a sort of albatross tied to the neck of the users.
I wonder what the flight path would have to look like - I assume you wouldn't be able to accelerate in a circle on the ground and then tilt upwards because of the G force of the tilt. So you would either sling horizontally at a fairly slight incline (taking advantage of the curvature of the earth, but imagine keeping that flight path clear), have a slowly increasing ramp that would probably have to be really long to manage the G force, or accelerate in a vertically-oriented loop (which would have to be huge to cope with faster speeds). I'm guessing the slow ramp is most practical.

Either way, there's some interesting info on the concept at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_gun and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_driver.
Thanks. I think that your experience sounds worse; I hope it hasn't left any lasting impression.

I learned to minimize burns by looking at everything that comes out as learning process, there is always something that makes us better developers.

However for production code I only use the programming languages directly supported by platform owners.

Of course others rather take part in ramping up eco-systems and that is fine as well, otherwise we wouldn't get new toys adopted by platform owners.
> First of all, the problem isn't that it's "compiled" - Python is "compiled" too, but still has one of the best REPLs available.

In a way it is. For a REPL you most likely need an interpreter for your
language, like Cling is for C++.

I don't know about the others (reportedly Cling for C++ is good) but the Rust repl doesn't work properly and is basically just a frontend for incrementally writing a Rust file.

There's a kind of a compromise going on here. Wild Salmon stocks are limited and were it not for farming demand would outstrip what's available. Apparently the tradeoff here is "dead zones" in the ocean unfortunately.

Of course, as I say, the farmed salmon is not the same fish as the wild one. The flesh is dyed pink. The flavour doesn't benefit from the wild salmon's varied diet, and the texture isn't developed by all that swimming upstream.

There is a very wide variance in the quality of farmed salmon too, to the point where you really can't be sure what you're eating unless you actually know the farm it's coming from.

I've heard it said that farmed salmon carries little of the health benefits of wild salmon. Personally I'd prefer to just pay a lot to eat salmon very rarely than to eat farmed salmon frequently. But everywhere you go there is otherwise indiscriminate demand.

Most banks will set you up with separate but linked savings and checking accounts that you can transfer between. Only the checking account comes with a debit cards. Auto-transfer any spare cash to the savings account.

Option 2: invest your cash in short-term low-risk securities like CDs or 3-mo bonds so that it's cash-like (available quickly if you need to tap your emergency fund) but not cash (burning a hole in your pocket because it's available to spend immediately).

And of course, anything you don't need for an emergency fund should be invested for the long term in non-cash-like securities (ideally via tax-advantaged accounts).

Buying a used car is not always "better" than a new one. It depends on how much your time is worth, and what utility you get out of your vehicle.

For example, if you live with a family and 1 person does not NEED a car, then they can be passed the oldest car, and when it's ready to junk, you buy a brand new one where you don't have to worry about the history of the car. Rinse, repeat, you will maximize the value obtained from each vehicle and not have to worry about how previous drivers or mechanics treated it.

This biggest expenses in cars are the surprise ones where you end up shelling out for towing or emergency repair or paying extra to buy a one since you are time constrained and can't shop. But if you have a spare car, then you have the luxury of using it until it's dead, and leisurely shopping for a deal when you need another.
Programming in assembly isn't harder (in fact quite the opposite), it just takes more grunt work. The actual difficulty of solving a problem (the 'irreducible complexity') is the same regardless of language.

Otherwise it's just "cyber".

Then again, I've seen dystopic sci-fi movies defined as cyberpunk when I wouldn't agree with the definition.

Note: Current Romania never claimed to be a descendant of the Roman state, unlike those other countries you mention. Byzantium was actually the valid successor of the Roman Empire, since the Romans themselves made it and it was a splinter of the former empire. The HRE, Russia, the Ottomans, etc., were all claiming the former Roman imperial glory.

Instead current Romania was named as such just based on the endonym (the name they gave to themselves) of the locals: Romanians. The name of the locals does imply a connection to the Romans, as their descendants, but that's it.

What I'm trying to say is a bit subtle, but basically Romania is a name which acknowledges a fact (the Romanians are descendants of the Romans/Latin speaking populations; not even our greatest enemy, Hungary denies this), not a claim to greatness. So the name is a logical extension of this fact, just like you'd call the land of the Greeks, Greece (or the land of the Albanians, Albania) :)

> you need to find out what your manager's motivation is from keeping you from such events and based on that formulate a strategy for dealing with him/her.

That's a pretty adverserial approach. Why not understand the manager's motivation and then work with him/her?

The "adverserial-ness" is also apperant in the possible causes you raised for the manager's decision (he's a company man / he's taking advantage of the fact that you're agreeable / he doesn't want you to work elsewhere). There can be other reasons, even with a manager that's 100% on your side. For example, maybe he worked hard to get approval for you to go to that conference, even fought his supervisors, but at the end he lost?
That's why the best advice is to ask him to explain the decision, and not to come to the conversation with any assumptions.

How have I never heard of this Gemini PA!?! I took a look and it really seems awesome! It's a tad pricey (I'm referring to the model with wifi only at $499 USD)...but admittedly I am a cheapskate, and I'm sure prices will go down with increased adoption, economies of scale, etc. ;-) Nevertheless, it really seems to be an amazing form factor. I could absolutely see this as being my laptop for the road. Thanks for sharing this!
Yeah, to clarify this should be possible, but I don't think it's going to happen for some time. There is a shard that creates a REPL, but it re-executes all previously executed commands each time you enter something new, which is super bad and dangerous. What we need is something that will compile just the line that was entered, and somehow "inject" that line into the existing program, and execute only that next line. Also there might always be a bit of lag between when you enter a line and when you get your response because the compiler is invoked. I'm not sure if that could be optimized to the point where it isn't noticable, but that would be super cool. I added on functionality for the Amber framework that allows you to execute one liners via `amber exec "code here"` as a replacement for `rails console` (amber is basically the rails of the crystal world).

Most people will not be able to judge status based on more than one metric at a time and the first metric will often be money.

The world is a maze and you always have more options than you realize.

Doing what you think would be best (i.e. learning Russian) is most often not as good as doing something similar that fits your routine better (i.e. there's a Polish guy in your building that's willing to teach you Polish). Another formulation: Don't force your dreams but rather take (with gratitude) what is given/in front of you.

If what you think is best is worth it then change your life so that it can fit comfortably into your routine.

Time doesn't exist but causality does. Whatever you are doing don't beat yourself up when your focus drifts to something else. You will find yourself drifting back to it when you reach a catalyst, so the things you really want to do will eventually see the light of day.

Relaxing is more powerful than tensing, you can get further and faster (This one I keep learning over and over in new contexts).

Everyone is obsessed with fashion and how you look says more about you than you yourself are able to comprehend. This is because there are people that can see everything they need to know about you from how you look, you are familiar with this phenomena but from the other side. Resist it.

It can be argued that "compiled/interpreted" is not a property of programming languages, but of programming language implementations.
Capitalism will try to exploit every human weakness.

If we have a population of people who are not aware of the intricacies involved in self driving, and the current technical state of the art, it is pretty clear there would be entities who would capitalize on it, by claiming to have implemented self driving.

Now, the way they does is saying stuff that actually does not make that claim, but in effect projects it. So right now, we have Tesla people saying "We will start shipping full self driving features by august". And without no clear understanding of what comprises of "full self driving features", the stocks rise. Seriously, it is used everywhere. When a toilet cleaner that claims to kill 99.99% of bacteria, they are doing the same. They project a claim that is very hard to nullify. But that does not prevent it from boosting the sales.

Car companies are particularly at fault because what they are doing can be dangerous to the users.
On the package?
Cadillac now has a system called "Super Cruise" that allows you to keep your hands off the wheel indefinitely. It only works on freeways that have been specially mapped by Cadillac using LIDAR. I find this quite alarming. Are there systems in place to automatically invalidate sections of freeway when the government modifies them? Does the government even know that Cadillac is trying to maintain its own map of the freeways? This is a nightmare waiting to happen.
I've been concerned about this very thing for quite awhile now. It's too easy of an attack vector. I first noticed the possibility when tools like VMWare came out on Windows and developers started playing around with images of Linux on their computers. It would be pretty easy to compromise an image, get it loaded on one of the main distribution sites and then as soon as someone starts one up inside a corporate network, you're in!
What does lossless mean in the context of analog processing?
I enjoy the give-and-take that comes with trying to guide a Customer toward what I perceive to be their best interests. Doing that with multiple Customers in parallel means that I have victories and defeats. That's heartening and engaging to me. I would find it very demoralizing to continue to engage that way with a single party over and over again. I found it that way back in the "bad old days" when I was an employee, and I'm certain I'd find it that way again.

When I talk about being self-employed I like to say that I traded having a single "boss" for multiple "bosses"-- one or more from each Customer. One thing that I've really enjoyed, to that end, is being able to cut my losses with a given Customer if the situation becomes untenable. That option wasn't so easy when I was an employee. An employer, in most of the US at least, has the freedom to be fickle at any time for arbitrary reasons. Being self-employed, to my mind, helps to level that playing field.

Being an employee amounts to running a business with a single Customer. If that Customer leaves you've suddenly got a business with no Customers. New Customer acquisition costs are very high (especially in the employer-provided health insurance world of US employment) and Customer loyalty can be very low. It's a precarious situation to me, not one I'd ever want to be in again, and not one I'd counsel someone to put themselves into.
It wasn't like the Soviets could just turn their TVs to the right channel. I doubt the Soviets knew what frequency they were using, and analog video is still "encoded" in the radio waves.

You don't need an interpreter for a REPL. Swift's REPL performs line-at-a-time compilation, running the program to that line and suspending it until you write and compile another line.
I can certainly agree with some of those similarities but most of them I would attribute to the weather combined with a generally working class culture (at least in the North of England, not sure about Scandinavia). As I understand it, prizing roast meats goes back to its rare availability to working class people from the industrial era (where Yorkshire at least derives much of its modern culture). Beer is common to working class areas and whiskey to cold areas. Woollen clothes help with the cold. Social egalitarianism is more of a working class thing.

Not to say there aren't links, there certainly are, but I wouldn't say they are strongly culturally bound compared to our relationship with Western Europe.
I interpreted OP's statement as referring to other, unsaid aspects of (US) American life that they saw in contrast while camping in Europe--not as referring to the "free" in "freecamping" as a significant difference between the two regions. I'd be interested in what those differences were, though.

> GC will always introduce jitter.

> You can choose not to use it and allocate statically etc, but that does not mean that use of a GC does not introduce jitter.

It only introduces jitter if it runs at all.

If one really wants to be drastic in performance critical code, in most GC runtimes it is possible to just turn it off.

On Go's case a runtime.SetGCPercent(-1) will take care of that.
