>I don't agree with the article either, one could make the same argument for every piece of new code written.

No you can't. The issue is that languages generally have their own runtime and object linkage system. If you create a new one that doesn't play nicely with C linkage/runtime, JVM, .Net, or compiles down to javascript (or wasm) then you are creating an entirely new platform and this creates the fragmentation.

For example, Python and Rust play nicely with C linkage. Scala runs on the JVM. These play nicely with other systems. You can have Python code that calls Rust code that calls C code and it all fits together. But you may struggle to have Python code calling Lua code calling Julia code.

"every piece of code written" doesn't have this problem at all. If you write something in an existing language then you are contributing to that ecosystem instead of making a new ecosystem. And if you are making a new ecosystem, for pity's sake please consider making that ecosystem play nicely with at least one existing ecosystem.
Golden rule: don't upgrade until first sevice pack. Release date set by management, so you have to ship with whatever bugs are left. But patch is usually developed with more timely approach.
JavaScript is a pretty good example of a language that overshot its goal and that would have benefited from evaluating the cost of its release. It was put together in a hurry, without much in terms of forethought and we're paying the price every day.

> I don't agree with the article either, one could make the same argument for every piece of new code written.

So you do agree. Yes, you could make the same argument for every piece of code, and that's precisely the point, the author chose to use programming languages where the problem is the the least visible. But that does not invalidate the point, it strengthens it.

In the original, we are not proposing separate worlds though, not in that sense.

1. I assert that it is not raining.
2. It is not raining.

This chap saying that 1 and 2 exist in the same world, and are therefore contradictory. Equivalence of statement and assertion.
I remember when I was early in my career and fixed an enormous flaw in ad allocation for a large online publisher. It led to easily over a million extra in revenue that year.

My boss was delighted to take credit for it while also ensuring I stayed on message that it wasn't actually a result of him screwing up and being generally incompetent. I eventually figured I had nothing to lose and talked to his boss (politely of course) just saying how successful that had been and that I had plenty of other ideas for improvement. It was not well received.

But I hear my old boss is doing quite well these days.
Guess this is what they mean when they say we are in a "post truth world".
> there is a need for a polyvalent language that would enable development of Linux kernel (low level and performance), that would be easy to learn and that would enable quick development

That's a pretty tall order for a single language to support all those desires. But Rust seems to at least aim for that space (it doesn't check all your boxes though).
There are actually two economies - one where everything is an investment to be sweated for returns, and one where everything is priced according to real world utility.

In a financialised system everything is priced according to the values of the first economy, which are completely divorced from conventional economic utility.

This makes everything unaffordable to those who don't have access to that economy. It also lowers the quality of goods and services within the second economy, because providing quality and value conflicts with fast high returns.

It's funny, I was listening to the Hanselminutes, and in a recent episode, his guest (a lawyer) was underlining that the US partially created the current situation where current its companies are at loss in front of GDPR: by refusing to take the lead on data privacy issues, the US didn't have a framework for privacy laws, and couldn't negotiate a convergence of laws with the EU (I'm paraphrasing).

Imposter syndrome is mostly about making the valid observation that you are mediocre. Surviving this revelation without being crippled by feelings of inadequacy is an exercise in maintaining a realistic perspective about the world: understanding that the vast majority of people are also mediocre, that the vast majority of things that need to be accomplished do not require incredible genius, but rather pedestrian thoughtfulness and sustained brute-force, and so despite how small we all are measured against the best there ever was or could be, we each have a valuable purpose and role in the places we find ourselves.
Your choices of ISPs is. You buy a connection to a network. Thus the trade happens between you and locally present businesses.

The interstate effect could be due to different services available on the network. So due to the lack of throttling the bundles that the ISPs like to sell wouldn't work, because you could easily buy Netflix or any other non local content.

I started out at my company building HTML emails. I started seeing places things could get better. Better code base so I built it. More sophisticated tooling and build chain so I built it. Problems with the Econ site so I helped find and fix them. Possible places to integrate and become more efficient so I helped build them. 3 years in, 3 raises (I’ve more than doubled my starting salary) and 3 promotions now I’m a Systems Architect. I recently presented to the owner of our parent company and (feel at least) that I’m valued and make real contributions. I work on big projects and am seen as a leader. So it can happen.

Mediawiki can be configured to be both non-ugly and to be wysiwyg. By now there might even be docker containers around with it preconfigured in this mode. :)

For a while people thought wikis could be used to make corporate culture more open. They introduced curated wikis and crossed their fingers.

Internal corporate forces tend to really not like open information sharing. The way confluence is designed allows people to put a tickmark next to "we have a wiki", while still actually keeping a tight lid on what info they actually share.

It's much easier to pick tools to fit your corporate culture as opposed to changing your corporate culture to fit the tools. This is why Confluence is popular.

I read through the slides briefly, is it just an analysis of the current state of affairs? I can't quite tell to be honest, a lot of jargon there that's over my head, but I worry if those complaining fall into the same boat as me, in that there might not be nothing sexist there but now we can't discuss it in scientific terms now because the mere discussion point is sexist in itself.

Is something wrong with the data protections laws that apply to medical data? Those could be expanded for all private data.
I remember often stumbling on online communities and message boards on Google when looking for something ~15 years ago. Most people in those communities also stumbled on them through Google. I cannot remember a single time I saw one in search results recently.

So either Google is deliberately excluding them, or they actually ceased to exist for the most part, or it has been a self-perpetuating cycle and one cannot pinpoint what came first - exodus to 'social media' or disappearance from Google search results.
I've replied to your other comment, but to reiterate, you subsrcibe to a particular ISP, and especially in case of a cable/wire mediated connection, your choices are by definition all local.

Even if it is provided by corporations from out of state.

The Internet is the very opposite of local, yes. But the last mile connection, the way your packets get to the nearest IXP is local. And that's where the oligopoly and thus the throttling happens.

Sadly trust is not a renewable resource, and i lost mine years ago in cloud providers ability to keep data safe.

From the last slide, "Conclusions":

> Physics is not sexist against women. However truth does not matter, because it’s part of a political battle coming from outside. Not clear who will win.

So why poke that bear? You know it'll maul you if it notices you.

> PS: many told me “don’t speak, it’s dangerous”. As a student, I wrote that weak-scale SUSY is not right, and I survived. Hope to see you again.

Oh yeah, but being perceived as a crank in your specialized field is nowhere near as dangerous as alerting the pitchfork crowd. I don't think he'll survive that, he just painted a target on his whole field. It'll be Damore 2.0.

EDIT:

> When science and politics collide, politics always win. Science needs an environment free of politics.

Yes; to quote dlss[0], "The political process converts ideas from logical propositions into group signaling devices. Once a idea becomes a signal, any question of its truth or falsehood is commonly ignored for several human generations.". Science should avoid it as much as possible.

I don't agree.

With times languages become obsolete, so from one side they try to "upgrade" their syntax, semantic and internal, from the other side they keep backward compatibility.

Keep adding features on top of something that was not designed for those features will simply create a huge mess to work with.

And arguably the oldest languages are the one where you need to follow "best practise", where there are thousands of way to achieve the same goal, etc...

It is not bad, but we really need newer languages to move forward the field. Most of them will fail, some of them will fail while having used a great amount of resources, but some will eventually succeed and moving the field forward.
It is much worse, given that in the west biased reporting and cover ups can be publicly denounced, whether by other biased sources at the other end of the spectrum or in social media, whereas in China it is not allowed to disclose by any means that bad economic news is being suppressed.
