That's a great point! There are quite a few specialized products for voice recognition and in fact domain specific voice recognition should surely be easier than trying to recognize general natural language. This is especially true, in the case of programming languages, because they tend to be so structured. There are a few major differences between most uses of voice recognition and programming though:

The biggest issue is that most coding is not producing code; it's navigating and editing existing code in a non-linear way. I think that makes it extremely difficult because it needs to be integrated with static (or dynamic!) analysis of a codebase. And once we take that step, we should be able to turn programming from shuffling text around to a more conversational (not unlike REPL-based) development.

There are also issues with the ability to pronounce things in some programming languages and being able to abstractly refer to these (often not linear) things. Because voice recognition is slower in terms of commands per second (as far as I've seen), we'd need more powerful and expressive ways of communicating intent to reach parity with keyboard-based programming.

What I was hoping for with "interactive metaprogramming" was to be able to do project-wide queries and edits. It seemed that trying to find a voice-based equivalent to the way we program with text and keyboards was never going to be a great fit and that, really, we should have more powerful tools for interacting with code anyways. Lojban provides a lot of fertile ground for these ideas, I think. For example, Lojban has a really powerful way of talking about space, time, relative positions, anaphora, and meta-linguistic correction/negation. I can imagine that being incredibly useful for programming by voice.

And I think the conversational style is key because the biggest issue with voice-based interfaces is presentation of relevant information. Lojban is based on relationships so it would be very natural to query the language itself with datalog-like evaluation, which provides an elegant solution to the hidden commands problem.

edit:

In regards to the price, I'd be willing to pay quite a lot. Losing the ability to program was one of the darkest times in my life. Soul-crushing, really. I was completely lost, unable to work and unable to enjoy myself. I remember when I thought $300-350 for a keyboard was expensive when looking at the Kinesis Advantage 2, but today, I'd be happy to pay 10 or 100 times the price knowing what it did for me. It's the difference between being able to work and enjoy myself (not being in constant pain from trying to work anyways) and laying around feeling hopeless and worthless.

To dismiss it all based on a brief newspaper blurb is insane.
> ... and that material is served to a European user ...

But in this scenario, Facebook would be blocking all EU users, based on IP address, DNS lookup, and so on. Just like Netflix blocks non-US users from accessing US-licensed media.

So EU users could only access Facebook through Tor, or VPN services. And Facebook could still argue (and make sure that it held no conflicting data) that it knowingly served no users in the EU.

It's crazy to think that in 2016 there were ~3.6 billion airline passengers. Passenger airplanes started as a luxury and moved to mass market. Honestly, humanity benefits more from having high capacity cheap flights than having lower capacity more expensive faster flights. Luxury options aren't off the table, buy business class or go private.

And saving fuel is in everyone's best interest.
So I'll state my bias up front. I'm a pretty happy non-native react-native developer.

After reading this write up and AirBnB's write up about RN I keep wondering if the source of the problem is more with integration points between native features.

Like I said, I'm not a traditional native mobile engineer, but as a single dev I've been able to build a rather large and complicated app almost entirely in react-native. That's not to say that I don't use mobile features, I'm using a dozen or so libraries for native features, but the common problem that seems to arise is "this doesn't integrate well with the rest of our native app". IMHO if you're writing business logic in swift/java instead of javascript you're going to have a bad time. If, however, you use/implement narrowly scoped native libraries that are glued together with javascript it's a pretty nice experience.

I wonder if the issues that they encounter are more a symptom of trying to "bolt on" react-native.
Are you sure that the culprit here it's uBlock Origin itself and not your configuration/filter lists?

I'm asking this because i've experienced similar problems with some pages and in most if not all cases it was the latter.
Same here in Finland, although it is mostly a joke that has some corruption undertones. But it still happens.
1. The market for PCs were virtually 100% business buyers in 1985. The non-business buyer would buy Apple IIs, which I didn't sell. I had a lot of small business and/or individual businesses. Large businesses like Boeing would obviously go through central procurement unless desperate for a PC , which absolutely would happen from time to time.

2. By the way, my 5% estimate on Byte saturation for my buyers is probably is too high. Refresh cycles were about 3 years back then, and there were roughly 11M PC bought in 1983 and 1984. There was around 8M PCs bought in 1985. So around 19M users of which 8M were buyers in 1985, which is where Byte was selling around 400K subscriptions. Therefore, the saturation rate of Byte magazine to PC users was roughly 400K/19M = 2.1%.

3. I loved your line "but I was a kid who read Byte magazine and discussed benchmarking with adults, and I don't think we were all total freaks of nature or something." Actually a young kid reading Byte magazine to discuss benchmarks with adults was a freak at the time.

I should know because I was one, probably the same as you.

I liked this analysis of the situation from when the Bitcoin Miners came to Washington State for the same reason:

It's not that they're lazy, they're just clever. Generalizing, in southern countries, job prospects are usually tied to your last name and other things not tied to performance. So people slack off at work because they're not dumb. So their bosses ask them to work longer to compensate.

Contextually your question is absurd, but I’ll bite. “China backs $15bn tech fund to compete with Japan’s SoftBank” (Yesterday, https://www.ft.com/content/9cdd3098-7d3c-11e8-bc55-50daf11b7..., “Fund to look at global deals even amid concern over inflated tech valuations”)
If everyone had at least 1 million dollars but a few people had 1 billion dollars, that's massive income inequality. By your logic, or imprecise language, we should avoid this. Perhaps we could make everyone equally poor instead?
This isn't really an accurate portrayal of massively used protocol authors. People like Randall Stewart (SCTP, Netflix FreeBSD TCP RACK/BBR), Van Jacobson (TCP congestion control, Google BBR), Neal Cardwell, Yuchung Cheng (TCP RACK, BBR) etc. They are all what you might call "technical fellows" in older Electronic/Computer Engineering companies. They probably have significantly more sway than all high level managers on technical direction. I don't know as much about QUIC and WebRTC folks but I highly doubt they are "low level engineers".

A very good and nuanced write-up. React Native seems to get a bit of heat at the moment, or perhaps I am just paying more attention to the content, as I have just started building a project with it.

But nevertheless I am still sticking to it with what I have read so far. Building from scratch with no iOS or Android experience, but some "normal" React experience(and a lot of .Net experience) it seems like a no-brainer in my situation.

The issues I have gathered from numerous articles seems to relate more to existing teams with experience in iOS or Android. Or projects that have had high growth.

Starting out from scratch those issues are not of concern. I will deal with them if/when I get there. My main reason for using React Native is to build something fast that can target both iOS and Android at the same time. And they rightly also point to that as a good reason for selecting React Native in the end of the article.

I don't think a totally new approach is needed. We already have what we need to completely solve bufferbloat. What we're missing is universal deployment.

If we could get fq_codel on every router, modem and switch, then the problem would be gone and we wouldn't need any of the fancier TCP congestion control algorithms (but ECN-capable TCPs would still be nice to have).

If we could get BBR on every server and client device, then that would mostly solve bufferbloat (for TCP traffic), but probably wouldn't be as good as having fq_codel throughout the network.

Having partial deployments of both is sub-optimal, but even the potential negative interactions between delay-based TCP congestion control and delay-eliminating AQM should still be better than not having either and suffering the full effects of bufferbloat.

I’m working on a project right now that uses jruby for java interaction.

I’m so appreciative that we have an easy way to combine java code with ruby scripting, thanks Charles. You guys make my job possible. :D

I think particularly now that we have the excellent concurrent-ruby[0] project more developers should checkout jruby.

My suspicion is that the main pain point stopping people using jruby is around tooling and process forking.

The ruby tools I would normally use to get fast cycle times for things like running specs without restarting rails mostly rely seem to make use of forking which obviously isn't supported on the JVM.

If I can find more time and tallent that’s definitely something I look into.

A bit off-topic - well, to be fair, it may have been the other way: the man could have been the one saying "he'll cheat on us", and the women telling him "it's ok". Women are as prone to cheating as men. Women are not inherently faultless just because of their gender.

At first I thought this was gonna be about the "Paparokades" (priest-rockers).

Around the same time, in Greece there was a band of monks that played some semi decent rock with motivational and conspiracy theory-ish lyrics [1]. It was at the time when the "Metal music makes you a satanist" fad had arrived in Greece, and the whole ordeal was for some part of the population scandalous, and for the other part, hilarious.

Hi Kirubakaran,

I don't know if you'll see this comment because the thread is off the front page, but I came back to thank you. Your comment set off a lightbulb in my head and really helped me make a positive change to my life. I'd been wallowing in a major (3+ hours a night) reddit addiction and my productivity was way, way down and I wasn't accomplishing stuff I wanted to do (learn another language, work out, clean the house...) because of it. I also HATE the redesign (so ugly, so spaced out, way less "sticky" to me as a user because what I really love about reddit is the discussion subreddits and the conversations. I'd always been turning the "new reddit" off and using old reddit view. When I saw your comment above, it was like an epiphany. A-ha! Just leave the ugly terrible redesign activated on all the time!!

I am so thankful I saw that- I changed all my reddits to the new design and successfully accomplished a ton of stuff I'd been procrastinating on over the last few weeks.

Cheers and thanks so much for the great idea.
I recently paid bottom dollar for a flight and was annoyed when my knees jammed up against the seat in front of me. I had to contort myself a bit to fit.

Then I chuckled at the annoyance since I, myself, had decided to get the dirt-cheapest flight available. Couldn't even be bothered to pay +$15 for an emergency exit seat.

...And I would've done it all the same again for that 2 hour flight.

I just saw a Reddit thread where someone asked how many people would pay extra for a flight with no babies allowed. I had to roll my eyes at every commenter who said they would.

> I would not trust any person who cheated on their spouse
> either.

In personal relationships—by all means.
In business matters—it depends, unless you think that someones views about family directly transfers to the business world.
If anything I'd speculate there should be an inverse correlation: the more seriously someone treats their business
the more sloppy they can be about personal relationships. I would not be surprised if workaholism caused more divorces than cheating.
“One of my husband’s business friends got married just two years ago,” explained Li, in her early 40s, who co-owns a steel business with her husband, “We went to his wedding. But when we hosted an event last year, he came with a young girl who was obviously his mistress. We discussed it with him, and discovered that the nuances of marriage and relationships in other countries might not comply to our narrow points of view. I told my husband that we should have a more open mind about the kind of relationships people have. He agreed -- he’s a good guy, we can trust him! Now this man owes us a lot of money that he won’t pay. But, really, it has nothing to do with how he chooses to live and love.”
I think, generally speaking, there are very few people who would consider Martin Luther King Jr., George Washington, etc. as "untrustworthy." Some historians suggest that "Honest Abe Lincoln" cheated on his wife with two men.

What could trustworthy mean if historical archetypes of honesty and great morality are not considered trustworthy?

> There were no discussions about soft vs hard brexit around the referendum, I was there.

I was also there. I remember many of the Brexit campaigners explicitly naming some of these options:

“Absolutely nobody is talking about threatening our place in the Single Market” - Daniel Hannan, Vote Leave founder

“Only a madman would actually leave the Market” - Owen Paterson MP, Vote Leave backer

“Wouldn't it be terrible if we were really like Norway and Switzerland? Really? They're rich. They're happy. They're self-governing” - Nigel Farage, Ukip leader

“The Norwegian option, the EEA option, I think that it might be initally attractive for some business people” -
Matthew Elliot, Vote Leave chief executive

“Increasingly, the Norway option looks the best for the UK” - Arron Banks, Leave.EU founder

From my list, the Turkey and Ukraine models were not something I remember prior to the referendum, but “deep and comprehensive free trade area” sounds a lot like the “deep and comprehensive free trade agreement” the government continues to talk about: https://www.ceps.eu/publications/theresa-mays-deep-and-compr...

(Turkey is just there for the sake of completeness).

> Very few parties had your versions of Brexit in their manifesto. All of them lost. It's just not what the people want.

The election happened after May made her red lines. True, Corbyn also wanted a deal that can’t be done, but given polls still show 50-50 (+/- margin of error), I think basically everyone still wants what they voted for during the referendum.

However, my point was more that she had options for various types of Brexit and could’ve made a different choice rather than what the people want from the options they were given.

This is a mess.
...what Article 11 is really about is that the European contentmafia wants to collect taxes from Google. We've already seen how that played out when Spain introduced something like this on the level of national law. IIRC, Google retaliated by taking Spanish media companies' content out of the index which is something that advertising clients of those media companies were less than pleased about, and a deal was quickly reached between Google and them, saying that Google didn't have to pay.

So, what it will really do will be to create a monopoly enshrined in law, that news aggregation and search is a business you can only be in, if you already wield Google-esque influence over the world of media.

Which is wrong. It's just wrong, on so many levels.
> it aims at protecting pieces of a work that are generally too short to enjoy regular copyright protection; second, unlike the usual practice in continental European copyright law, it grants ancillary copyright to publishers, not authors, for easier enforcement of these rights.

So it wants to expand copyright coverage and give it not to creators but to those who profit on them. Why should anyone accept that? Copyright is already crazy overreaching, it should be reduced, not expanded. This corrupt control grabbing should be completely repealed.
