I actually use the build tools for the first time a few weeks ago and it was quite a pleasure as well. I believe there have been some major updates to the tooling recently. I did a lot of prototyping there so I could use ES6 and .vue files and coverted them to templtes and/or js strings by hand when things were more finalized. I don't mind reading and touching up templates/strings, but it not super fun to start from scratch.
uh... no. Not that there aren't mathematics found within writing, but that argument is irrelevant to this evaluation of taking a mathmatical, formulaic approach to code vs. one that is descriptive, and caters to the ignorances and shortcomings of the human reader.
This kind of argument is less of a rationalization and more of public relations spin. It ignores the increase in consumer spending that comes with raising wages. In fact, it completely depends on skating over that fact.
I missed this. Thanks.

Anki has become the de-facto standard for memorizing the large swaths of information required during medical school. Not everyone uses it, but pretty much everyone that does and sticks to it sees impressive results.
Right, but that's the trend of capital becoming more valuable than labor, which is related, but not the same thing as looking at real-wage growth. Workers portion of total production can be going down yet still be gaining an overall increase in real wages and purchasing power if it's made-up for by overall growth.

From the perspective of creating a better society, that long term trend of capital increasingly consolidating and rentiering is still dangerous and likely has a breaking point, but so long as real-wages rise for people, it's not as immediately or obviously devastating. Yet, the evidence presented in the article seemed to be pointing to real-wages not increasing, and I'm not sure that's true.
It's impractical by a huge margin.

Why? Well, not only because bit flipping does occur naturally due to radiation but also because there's no such thing as a formally proven hardware stack in the world. At the end of the day your software has to run on hardware that exists. Not only has that hardware not been formally proven, you can't even know exactly how the hardware will behave from one month to the next due to firmware patches (spectre/meltdown mitigations, for example). Those patches can affect behavior and performance by huge amounts.

Additionally, formal proofs don't cover one of the biggest classes of bugs: insufficient specifications. If you formally prove your software to the wrong specification then you still end up with buggy software. So even with provably correct software methodology you still need classical QA processes.

Moreover, it is not necessary to have formally correct algorithms and state machines in order to achieve the maximum quality of software.

Even though I'd push for tabs-for-indentation-spaces-for-alignment, I agree with your sentiment.

The "both"-camp is divided in two groups: the "don't care"-group and the "strict rules"-group (the former probably being much larger).

There was a Stack Overflow developer survey in 2017 which concluded that space users make more than tab/both users. Would be interesting to see the results when accounting for above difference in the both group.
Because those need attention. If I'm waiting for my Lyft to take me to my book club meeting, like I am right now, I only have three minutes. I can't use that to make any progress on Conjectures and Refutations.

So these things have poor cost structure for what they provide. I like The Economist on my morning fifteen min BART for instance. And that's because that's dense.

But if I have half an hour, that's enough for me to read something worthwhile instead of this stuff.

Immigration can have an impact on wages, but It's a much more complex function than more immigrants equals more labor supply equals lower wages.

Immigrants also contribute to the economy. Depending on how much they contribute, immigration can raise or lower wages. The issue is how much do they contribute? Immigration doves argue they are a net gain, while immigration hawks argue they are a net detriment.

Historically, in the long run, immigration has always been a net gain.
I have to agree with you on this. I've built and sold several "successful" indie apps (iOS, macOS, Android) and almost all had sales well into the many hundreds of thousands $ per annum.

From a quick scan of your comments on this page, if Donald Knuth came in for a job interview at your office you would 1) encourage him to spend less time on algorithms and more time learning "hard" stuff like ajax+css+php. 2) offer him $90k if he passed the rest of the interview. 3) fire him on his first day if he googled anything.
Pardon my french but what the fuck do you do with a number that you "own"? The whole point of a currency is to be spent as opposed to be "owned".
Your point rings true, but I think you're talking more about more microscopic asymmetries in wages. Certainly in some areas of the country you have a demand for labour that is not satisfied by cross state migration, however the aggregate demand doesn't really change. When you add excess labour to the closed system (The whole of the US labour market) it will inevitably reduce demand as companies looking to fill roles are more easily able to do so.
Thanks for that feedback :) I suggested it because OP asked for suggestions and thoughts for their new language. I'm kind of peeved at the downvotes because at a minimum it's a reasonable idea to look into - as you've just confirmed, saying you've picked it as the best solution.

I thought it's worth considering as the syntax solution for a new language! It's fully orthogonal and removes all style decisions. The compiler never has to guess. That actually means the IDE could be fully sure of it in every case and could let you adjust the tabs, as in this example I put together (using excel and a C program):

https://imgur.com/a/s7zQMpw

----

I chose my suggestion based on orthogonality. Originally I started suggesting 2-space tabs for OP's new languages (as a syntax feature), since they're a pretty common style convention used by many in the C world, so not totally absurd.

But that is not fully orthogonal and hard to automate: if the compiler encounters 3 spaces, what is that supposed to be? Automatically a syntax error?

How many indents is 6 spaces again? -- when you use 2-space tabs the answer is 3

//Guess below line's indent level (2-space indents)
x

With two-space tabs, the answer is 3:

//This is indented how many?
x

a
b
c
x

but when you use 1-space tabs the same is:

//Guess below line's indent level? (1-space indents)
x

//Answer:
x

a
b
c
x

You can just count, and it is visually also very clear.

As mentioned your IDE can treat leading spaces as indents. (Visually indent them.) It's a 1:1 correspondence.

Anyway just my humble suggestion for tomcam's new language, who solicited ideas with "Any ideas?". I gave actual code snippets in my original comment. :)
Fair point about evolution - what I meant about intention is that some people involved in a decision could tell you more than they are willing to. I think it's worth distinguishing that from systems feeling opaque because of consequences nobody operating them was aware of.

> Someone needs to stock your shelves

Anyone can do it, and Amazon disagrees.

The world used to be inefficient, run on paper and phone calls. More and more is being outsourced to tech or foreign soil so less and lis as remains for The “guy that can stick shelves” to do.

We’re left with service or simple labor, which anyone can do, so prices will fall.

It shouldn’t be surprising that the more intelligent always have and always will continue to be more successful and drive discovery and innovation. We actually used to hold these people (scientists, inventors, philosophers, writers, etc) in a high regard. Now that the bar is lower and entry is easier (tech), thenperspective seems to have changed.

What we need now is a balance or redistribution since it’s becoming impossible for those that didn’t win the genetic lottery to prosper. But we need to stay realistic and honest, those with higher intelligence more knowledge (degrees or experience) are preospering and those that don’t aren’t.

I think grandparents comment was distasteful, but let’s talk about the concepts rather than downvote.

Because most of the bigger instances have shared blocklists. I am not interested in Mastodon as a tech stack, I am interested in joining a social network.

Interesting stuff, and apparently an interesting guy. This DataCase app looks great - wish I had something similar on my *nix box today! Lots of "note taker" apps out there, but this one was "databasier", which is to my liking.

" Datacase is a sort-of frontend to FreeWAIS. It uses the wais indexing engine to build indexes of data you give to Datacase. I build this tool out of my growing need to get access to little data sniplets fast. Often I encounter something nice, funny, important, etc. in the news or in the web. Now with Datacase storing this information is easy: highlight it in any application or terminal window, press the ALT-shortkey, give it a nick name (Datacase opens a dialog for check-in) and that was it. The index is rebuilded automatically in a few seconds, regardless how many data is in the database.

Datacase provides fast full text retrieval and understands natural english as query language. Data is presented in a special retrieval window that can highlight certain portions of text very fast."

Right. illegal immigration likely does not effect these numbers in a significant way, and legal immigration raises wages.

How is it not a scapegoat to say immigration is the cause of flat wages?

No, just you are apparently stating that a CLU compiler developed to be usable in 1971 hardware will run slower than Go on 2018 hardware, which doesn't make much sense.

Talking numbers, D was taking 1.24s to compile its complete standard library in 2010, (too lazy to try out the latest version) including the piles of template code that it has.

> 700sqft with a small accessory unit on a quarter acre lot

Most people think that houses are expensive. They are, but in developed areas the land itself plays are large role. (That's why the top three important factors in real estate are location, location, and location. It's not that much more expensive to build a structure in San Francisco than Bakersville.)

So it's unlikely that in most suburban areas it will make economic sense to build a only 700 sq ft house on a entire quarter acre. At that point, a duplex/quadplex makes far more market sense. And a duplex/quadplex is cheaper to build per resident.
That’s lowerCamelCase. CamelCase probably means UpperCamelCase to most people, because it’s what Microsoft standardized on long ago and that’s what so many people learned first.

> When you add excess labour to the closed system (The whole of the US labour market) it will inevitably reduce demand as companies looking to fill roles are more easily able to do so.

An increase in supply will result in an increased supply. But as I've said in another response--adding people to the economy also tends to increase the aggregate demand for labor. It's not a simple function.

The costs of the VA are either not calculated in or are grossly distorted/underestimated by planners. It is not an organization for vets.

What good are increasing wages if it is accompanied by inflation that negates those increases?

The truth is that the minimum wage worker today is able to purchase a LOT more than they could in the past.

The only two costs that have gone up disproportionately are housing and healthcare. The former is due to bad government policy that encourages homeownership as an investment. The latter is due to cost disease.
