This article talks about Python getting type hints.
There as a HN post recently about Ruby getting a type checker (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17217815)

I think the debate is largely going in favor of static type checking. The widespread adoption of type inference in many statically typed languages (var in Java, auto in C++, let in Rust) has greatly eased the ergonomics of using a statically typed language.

Unless there is a massive ecosystem that you need to take advantage of (for example javascript), in 2018 greenfield development should probably be in a statically typed language.

On one hand it's nice that there's a standard way to specify types in Python now, but TBH, if I'm going through the trouble of specifying types then I'm going to use a language that has them built in and fully exploits them. In particular, not using them for performance tuning seems like a big miss.

I can independently confirm that people were using JSON before he named it JSON. I was dumping data in JSON in 2000 for dynamically displayed reports.

But then again I was already used to using Perl data structures as dumped by Data::Dumper for config, because I was taught a lot about Perl by a Lisp programmer who had used Lisp data structures for the same purpose since the 1980s. So using JSON didn't feel original or clever. It seemed like I was simply using a well-known technique in yet another dynamic language.

Then again our reaction to XML was the stupid thing other people were doing that you had to do to interact with the rest of the world. I got used to holding my tongue until I went to Google a decade later and found that my attitude was common wisdom there...
For thise interested in Murakami's contemporaries, Banana Yoshimoto is an interesting case. I've only read one of her works, Kitchen, but the similarity is almost astonishing. They both cover themes of loss, a strong sense of a mystical undercurrent right underneath everyday life, and independent (but not necessarily rebellious) protagonists -- and, while it may be an artifact of translation, they have similarly uncluttered but lively prose. She came a bit after he did, in the late 80s, so maybe he influenced her.

In Chinese, Ge Fei's Invisibility Cloak -- while a much more recent work -- also comes to mind, although there's something harder and less dreamy about it. Invisibility Cloak is about a niche audio technician and hobbyist who gets involved with a strange underworld customer, and I'll leave it at that :)

If you like Murakami and want to dip a toe into "deeper" (or at least more prestigious and less popular) Japanese fiction, Kenzaburo Oe (Changeling, A Personal Matter) is a good starting point. If you want to go darker, a little more unhinged, and on the opposite end of the political spectrum, Yukio Mishima (Confessions of a Mask) is also good.

If you want to go even further back, Junichiro Tanizaki's The Makioka Sisters is an oddly enjoyable story of adult sisters and their shifting relationships -- if Proust is like a jungle, alive and profligate and almost obscenely lush, then Tanizaki is more like fresh-cut wood, clean and with a certain reserve and neutrality, but still alive.

I find Yasunari Kawabata the least accessible of all these writers, but he seems to be held in high esteem in Japan. His Snow Country is I'm guessing making references to things I don't understand, but it's at least pleasant to read, and the ending is (I'm told, and at least kind of feel, but not with any sophistication) a very nice example of ma, which Wikipedia tells me roughly means negative space.

Finally, to end an overlong post, I first heard of most of these things in Brian Phillips' excellent longform article connecting modern Japanese sumo, older Japanese literature, and Yukio Mishima's very strange attempted coup/suicide: http://grantland.com/features/sumo-wrestling-tokyo-japan-hak...

JSON doesn't have comments. If I want to know why a config has a particular value, I can write a comment to explain it in YAML or xml, just like I would do in code. Lack of comments is the primary reason I would not use json for anything that needs to be written or read by humans.

While I agree with most of their analysis, I acknowledge that this reads basically like a "Grumpy Old Postmodernist"

Something the OP doesn't dive into much but I found myself wondering is that the "pseudo-modern" label is artificial. It seems like an important aspect of the post-post-modern culture/philosophy is that it's uncoalesced -- no one starts/joins a successful movement of self conscious difference (haha or differance) from post modernism.

So it's left to the grumpy olds to start making names
Three Japanese authors that are wildly different from Murakami:

* Yukio Mishima. Prose is incredibly dense to the point of being baroque (there are pages of footnotes even in the Japanese originals), but there's nobody else quite like him: heavy focus on themes of sex, death and mysticism. "Temple of the Golden Pavilion" is his most famous work but the "Sea of Fertility" tetralogy is also good.

What I wanted was to die among strangers, untroubled, beneath a cloudless sky. And yet my desire differed from the sentiments of that ancient Greek who wanted to die under the brilliant sun. What I wanted was some natural, spontaneous suicide. I wanted a death like that of a fox, not yet well versed in cunning, that walks carelessly along a mountain path and is shot by a hunter because of its own stupidity…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yukio_Mishima

* Osamu Dazai. The F. Scott Fitzgerald of Japan in time, themes and popularity, wrote a series of heavily autobiographical novels about his struggles with money, health, family and basically everything. Fairly grim but compelling reading.

The year before last I was expelled from my family and, reduced to poverty overnight, was left to wander the streets, begging help for various quarters, barely managing to stay alive from one day to the next, and just when I'd begun to think I might be able to support myself with my writing, I came down with a serious illness. Thanks to the compassion of others, I was able to rent a small house in Funabashi, Chiba, next to the muddy sea, and spent the summer there alone, convalescing. Though battling an illness that each and every night left my robe literally drenched with sweat, I had no choice but to press ahead with my work. The cold half pint of milk I drank each morning was the only thing that gave me a certain peculiar sense of the joy in life; my mental anguish and exhaustion were such that the oleanders blooming in one corner of the garden appeared to me merely flicking tongues of flame...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osamu_Dazai

* Murakami Ryu. Not to be confused with his namesake, Ryu's writing is very opposite of whimsical and "Almost Transparent Blue" is shockingly brutal.

This was a factory, a sorting house. We were no different from dogs and pigs and cows: all of us were allowed to play when we were small, but then, just before reaching maturity, we were sorted and classified. Being a high school student was the first step toward becoming a domestic animal.

>No one actually expressed any defensible position, and they still haven’t

No, nobody has given you a position you agree with. You can't just say "EVERYTHING I DISAGREE WITH IS INDEFENSIBLE HURR DURR", that's not how things work.

Whether or not you agree is irrelevant, but you clearly can't see that, so arguing with you is just a waste of time.

Grow up.
"A Personal Matter" by Kenzaburo Oe is really incredible.

This paragraph is deliberately left vague - a Rorschach test of sorts.

I am not quite sure what he is referring to exactly. I do know that my local bookstore has much more books from authors who are gay, trans, black, Asian, etc than it did 15 years ago. If you value diversity in your media - which I do - then this is wonderful. We had a NY Times best seller last year about black women mathematicians working at NASA in the mid 1900s - it’s very hard to imagine who would have published that book in the 90s or 2000s.

If that constitutes “diminishing the literature and cultural products of the West” in the author’s mind, so be it, but perhaps he should be a tad more upfront about what he really means.
Unless it's designed to be obfuscated. Which is a very big "unless" IMO :)
> What "should be human interactions" is not meaningless. It means: there should be humans judging what should be left to human judgment. It's an assertion that there ARE things that shouldn't be just standards we blindly follow.

You mean...humans like the humans who decided to buy this software? Presumably you don't just mean 'humans'. You mean the 'right' humans. But which humans are those? Who decides which ones the right humans are? It's just a circular argument that reduces to "humans should do human stuff", unless you want to actually articulate a standard, but you have definitely not done that yet.
Almost every human endeavor has progressed better due to the specialization of labor. Automation is not required. 10 people sorting trash full time will do a far better job than an equal amount of effort distributed over 1000 people.

Seems like it is reaching. Core postmodern concepts like the hyperreal and simulacra are more relevant and true than they have ever been.

Furthermore, the article claims that postmodern is characterized by an ironic self awareness, and never has this idea been more prominent in culture. In recent years I have noticed that TV commercials have become more and more self-aware. Take for example a recent commercial by what I believe was Verizon. It says something like "More coverage, more data." and then another actor comes into screen saying "and more people saying more." If this isn't ironic self awareness, I'm not sure what is.

Those are postmodern concepts about culture. But the postmodern metaphysical and epistemological nihilism are, as another commenter said, basically bedrock in terms of philosophy.
We're compiling a list of Baby Unicorns (Best companies to work for)
Context: My buddy and I are trying to build a website showcasing startups and companies that aren't yet unicorns but on their way to becoming one. We feel that Baby Unicorns (Cutely dubbed and startups that are valued at $200M+) are the best stages for people trying to find work to find the right intersection of impact, fast growth, job security and so we're compiling a list of them along with why you should work for them, and context about the startup, founders and the team.

This is super early stage - like 3 days old early so we're looking to hear some feedback from people that will most likely find this content valuable. So, let's hear it?

I agree, and yet dynamic languages such as Python continue to gain popularity because they are supposedly easier for newbies to pick up. I think we (experienced software developers) have to do a better job of educating newcomers about the dangers of dynamic typing.

No easely accessible guns make suicide harder (the success rate of pill or wrist cutting is way lower than the guns) and make passion crimes less deadly. Without accounting misfire and/or lost bullets, crimes are deadlier with a gun than with a knife.

That said, i don't really care if you are having a gun in your car or at home, or even carrying one with you if you have sufficient training, it's just for the sake of the argument.

This is pretty interesting.

It's become increasingly obvious that the basic structure of a NN for most NLP tasks is the same across multiple tasks.

The problem is that the "penalty box" mechanism doesn't distinguish between unpopular but well-reasoned opinions and offensive behavior. People here, like in many other online forums, are all-too-quick to downvote other opinions. This is particular stark in discussions around characters like Elon Musk, where for years criticisms were downvoted and flagged (and only recently has it become safe to comment negatively on the behaviors of Tesla and Musk)

> I am curious what is the next meaningful step beyond the C ABI and the C type system

The C ABI and type system omits a lot of stuff that could be useful. Some points off the top of my head:

* Vector types

* Multiple return values

* Functions with bound environments

* Coroutines

* Dynamically-sized callee-allocated structures (most notably lists)

* Distinguishing between "byte array" and "string" types

* Vtables

* Something that lets GC'd languages cooperate more nicely. I'm not sure how exactly to specify this, but this is the sort of thing we could have if we stopped insisting that everything must be in terms of C ABI.

As a user of messaging services, I nearly never want to delete a message. I want to be able to use my digital memory extension (phone) to store messages so that I can easily recall my conversations. Rarely do I want to delete a message. In fact, I would only want to delete it if it's sensitive: I rarely message such sensitive things. Most people fall into this camp. It's rare for someone to never want any message to be kept.

Why do you want your messages deleted by default when you use one of these secure messaging clients?

> Postmodernism is the final philosophical analysis You cant dig deeper than the very language we use to philosophize with. Every attempt at undoing postmodernism will get you right back at the postmodern realization. So very much alive at least philosophically but we are also starting to realize this in other areas.

I've thought about it in similar ways, but I fear those are the words of the incumbent facing the disrupter (if you'll pardon an abused analogy). What you say is true if you start with the premise of the postmodernist. That is, in effect I see it as saying nothing more complicated than postmodernism is the outcome of postmodernist assumptions.

Typically, the disrupter has a different agenda, different goals entirely, which is why the incumbent can't understand them - it makes no sense in the context of the incumbent's goals. In this case, the agenda, the assumption, of postmodernism is a desire for the truth (which can't be had) or as realistic an understanding of it as possible.

An hypothesis, stealing a bit from the article: The psuedo-modernist, to use the word from the article, doesn't care about the truth, so all your postmodernism is in the trash. Their reality is whatever they create or believe in the moment. It's fake news, fake economics, fake science (climate denial), whatever is in their Facebook feed, whatever their sources or friends repeat over and over, whatever is said most loudly or with the most anger - whatever can be insisted upon - whatever makes you angry. (Remember when anger was a sign of irrationality? Now it's a sign of a new reality being created.) All authoritative sources are destroyed, including all work product of academia (if you believe some HN comments). Propaganda is reality, and to an extent that is true: Perception is reality, and people can maintain those delusions for a long time. (And yeah, that's pretty scary.)
