It always puzzled me why so many Perl devs moved to Python when Ruby is a much closer fit. Sysadmin tools can't be the reason because Ruby led the way with Chef and Puppet. Perl was my first real programming language back in 2002 and "Programming Perl" was my bible. Larry Wall is a wonderful gentle giant of a leader but unfortunately the community imploded over never-ending debates about OOP and MOP then there was the 15-year Perl 6 energy drain. If Perl had established a web framework to compete with Rails and Django it might have survived but Catalyst is an ugly beast and Mojolicious somehow never gained the momentum required despite being a much better option for web development.

There's even work to address that with linking types:

https://dbp.io/pubs/2017/linking-types-snapl.pdf

If the component is externally type-checked, the integration can be type checked against the language including it. They're also working on verifying compilers that do that:

https://dbp.io/essays/2018-04-19-how-to-prove-a-compiler-ful...

Previously, others made the assembly languages themselves type-safe. Example:

https://www.cs.cornell.edu/talc/papers/talx86-wcsss.pdf

We might eventually be able to drop a caveat or three when talking about where type/memory safety ends. Cool stuff, eh?

Like other HN users, I like to do things myself.

So when G RR Martin was taking so long to write Winds of Winter, I thought I would just hack a copy myself. And by "hack", I mean I would write it.

I had a good sense of the characters, and I knew what I wanted to happen so I started writing.

It came out utter rubbish.

Wondering why, I realizes I was using Google Docs whereas George Martin used Wordstar.

This is all coming together.
Hi, I'm Adora, a YC partner, and will be helping out with the course. Very excited to meet and work with everyone. Happy to answer any questions.
Yes, and if they sell AOSP-based devices they then can not sell any other device with the Google components.

Or sell a device using only some of the things Google wants to make mandatory, but replacing others with their own.

That way they keep AOSP-based products on the fringe, since only niche manufacturers can afford to make them, and stop manufacturers trying to make/integrate better replacements for Google services. That's anti-competitive, that's the problem.

Surely you just believe that the fine is not high enough, not that it is ineffective in principle? There exists a number X which is the amount that google could be fined where they are ambivalent between that fine and a ban from the market for some period of time which is what you had in mind. Thus, a fine would be equally effective at X. So I don't see why you think fines are fundamentally ineffective?

Neither of those actions are illegal per se, but just because you it's not illegal to dictate terms doesn't mean you're allowed to choose any terms you want.

The problem here is that Google allegedly dictated terms that gave them an unfair advantage in an unrelated market, breaching EU antitrust law.

A stricter antitrust law might have prevented them from gaining such a dominant position in the first place, but that doesn't seem to be the issue here.
It’s about abusing the power of a monopolistic position in the market. The power being abused is the monopoly power.

If you don’t have a monopoly and do things your partners/competitors don’t like, they can’t complain that you are abusing a dominant market position to get away with it.

There’s nothing wrong with bundling. But when you have a monopoly on the market bundling suddenly is wrong and abusive even if it’s the right thing for your end users.

So we see time and again monopolies are knee-capped in the market and face these absurd fines, in the name of fairness and competition.

I have no doubt that some monopolies leverage their market dominance for some pretty atrocious dealings. I personally see nothing wrong with Google licensing the optional (but extremely popular) Google Play services such that it requires Google Search and Chrome along with it.

If they were unrelated then the experience of Google Play Services would be identical with or without the other pieces (Chrome and Search). I don’t use Android so I can’t say for sure, but I’m quite confident that the overall experience suffers without all three pieces together.

I actually used an Alphagrip daily at work for probably a year+. It halved my normal qwerty speed (120 wpm down to 60 wpm), but got rid of all of my wrist pain. Good exchange! I had a similar experience that I bought my first one ten years ago, then sold it after a few years of not using it. On a whim after I started feeling pain, I tried again and after doing typing tests for 10-15 minutes each morning for a month it finally stuck. Ended up modding it with a teflon trackball before I finally unplugged my normal keyboard and put it behind my monitor.

Uganda’s social media tax is causing a ruckus
Jets exist without a JIT. In fact, the whole point of distinguishing "jets" as an idea is that they're a potential feature of naive bytecode interpreters, rather than of JITing interpreters or of (potentially optimizing) compilers.

I mean, you can think of an interpreter with jets, but without a JIT, as an interpreter which passes the code it loads through a specific kind of JIT that only does native codegen for explicitly specified patterns, and has no "generic" path, instead leaving everything else as calls back into the interpreter.

But that's not actually what's happening, because there is no JIT in such interpreters. JITing necessarily happens either during code-loading, or asynchronously with a profiling thread. Jets, meanwhile, happen within the instruction-stream decode stage of a VM, where the VM has enough of a read-ahead buffer that it can decode a long sequence of plain instructions that fits a given pattern, to an intrinsic. Jets are "recognized" within the VM's instruction pipeline itself, each time the pipeline's state matches a given bytecode-sequence pattern. They're a register-transfer level optimization.

In essence, jets are an implementation technique for bytecode interpreter optimization, alternative and complementary to a full JIT.

---

Also, I'm speaking about VMs here, but jets apply as a thing you can do just as well in a hardware CPU design, too.

An example of a common "hardware jet" is recognizing a multi-byte no-op sequence (that is, not a multi-byte NOP intrinsic, using a long instruction, but rather a sequence of single-byte NOPs), and making it have the same effect as a multibyte no-op intrinsic of the same size (i.e. given a NOP sequence of length N, the replacement would free up the ALU and other later pipeline stages for N-1 cycles.)

(There's probably another name this technique is known by in the hardware world—I'm not a hardware guy. I'm just highlighting the equivalence.)

And this isn't just a particular kind of microcode expansion, either. Microcode expansion is effectively a kind of cheap, throw-away JIT: CPUs expand their ISA to microcode not during the decode stage of their pipeline, but rather when the instruction pointer's movement causes the CPU to copy a new chunk of a code page into a cache-line. The cache line is expanded as a whole, and the result stored in a per-core microcode buffer. This works for regular instructions, since regular instructions are necessarily cache-line aligned; but the sort of composite, multi-instruction patterns a CPU might want to recognize aren't guaranteed to be cache-line aligned, so they won't get caught by this pass. A "hardware jet", on the other hand—since it happens at the register-transfer level—can optimize these instructions just fine. So CPU designers use both.
Enjoyment is always subjective and if you feel that you've got appropriate levels of enjoyment for the money you've spent then it obviously works for you.

Microsoft should be delighted then that they can force Internet Explorer on everyone again.

That argument doesn't hold for Chrome. The core experience of Android is the AOSP browser (aka Android Browser). Later Google started to use their monopoly to force the inclusion of Chrome alongside Android Browser, followed by the removal of Android Browser in Android 4.4.

And even now, the only reason Chrome is part of the "core android experience" is because Google pushes hard to make it that way. There are plenty of other good mobile browsers.

But Google doesn't licence the OS. They donated the OS to Open Source, and use their licencing agreement for the App store to control unrelated parts of the OS experience

It seems more culture impacts language, you don't have social structures that are created in language and implemented in culture later. I agree it's a construct of culture though, but I don't know that adding words is necessarily bad.

Why would actors learn a language when they can just learn their lines? If you're already borrowing concepts from other languages why not the whole thing. I don't know if conlangs are better, but I don't think it would be unethical to use an existing ancient language for a movie or TV show.

In the US, it's actually explicit - monopolies can actually only exist if they are using their status to impact pricing/consumer choice, which necessitates size.
