Magic of React Suspense with Concurrent React and React.lazy API
C# comes from a statically typed language tradition (the dynamic keyword aside) and has very little in common with Javascript beyond the surface level of curly braces. The trend in C# features seems very much influenced by functional programming, adapted to be more familiar and palatable to non functional programmers.

Some features of C# that seem influenced by functional programming in general or F# in particular include lambdas, type inference, Enumerable (F# pipelines), pattern matching, tuples, null coalescing (a Maybe if you squint), expression bodied members, record types and Range expressions. There is also what looks like an 'aesthetic' influence of F# in language features that reduce ceremony and make for more concise code like auto properties as well as a functional inspired recommended practice of making immutable types.

> Even a "basic lunch in the business district" costs $16. That's pretty close to my entire weekly budget for fruit and veg. According to this site you could by a kg of tomatoes, a kg of apples and a kg of potatoes for $12. That's a hell of a lot of food.

I'm not sure what I'm missing. That's only 1466 calories according to Google, mostly from the potatoes—which are not particularly healthy. For $12, it is not much food. An average man eating 2500 calories per day would be spending $143 per week with this diet (of potatoes!). How do you get it to $16/week, including fruits?

For me, at least, fruits and vegetables are the most expensive part of my diet. And I can't afford to buy organic or shop at the farmer's market. It's worth it for me, but I don't pretend it is cheap.

I shall claim that difficulty in using email for these things is mostly because of unfamiliarity. Keeping patches and discussion together can work really well. It tends to do better for record-keeping, especially. It may take a bit of getting used to, but when you are used to it, it’s a sane and reasonable approach in most cases. (Not all, but most.)

How does using a state management library prevent rerender of vast chunks of UI? Isn't that the responsibility of the react's reconciliation algorithm?

From having raised dogs :-) Dogs have similar dietary requirements to humans. If you look closely at the nutrient breakdown in the dog food, you can see that it provides a very good balanced nutrition -- or at least it hits what they are aiming for. People can quibble about whether or not there are healthier nutrient breakdowns, but it's not really that hard to change things around. There are actually studies showing life expectancies for dogs eating dog food vs eating food made at home and they are higher for those eating dog food. There is a variety of reasons for that. For example, dogs are generally smaller than humans and dietary imbalances often have consequences sooner. So it's not really the case that dog food is super food or anything like that. It's just generally reasonable nutrition. The reason I found out about this is that I once thought about cooking for my dogs (I was cooking for myself every day anyway) and my vet highly discouraged me from doing so. She put me on to those papers (It was almost 20 years ago now, so I'm afraid I don't have any useful links, unfortunately).

Dog food also tastes surprisingly good. I never fed my dogs anything that I didn't try first (which I suppose may be weird, but oh well). I can say that some dogs really like the taste of liver, but aside from that kind of thing, dog food is surprisingly good. Some of the wet canned food rivals prepared human meals in my opinion, though the price is a bit higher. I can't remember the brand, but I remember one "beef stew" which was insanely good. I would have happily had it as a meal.

It seems like soylent.com is still around. I think they are making meal replacement drinks. Not my cup of tea, but at $1.80 per meal, it's fairly cheap and convenient. Not sure about taste (I think I'd go for the dog food myself!) However, it is almost exactly the average price for meals I cook for myself, so I'm not sure it's a great deal price wise. The same is also probably true of dog food to be fair.

People are never properly prepared for tragedy. That is the difference between trauma and sadness. No less, these things happen. Trauma lives in the past. When you reflect on these past experiences they can define you or become you. That is the difficult choice you must confront when dwelling on these memories. With effort you can choose to let the pain of past memories go, if willing. The acceptance of such choices is the nature of perseverance.

Technically (and we are technical folks) it's a language with a closed source reference implementation. A serious language designer is going to specify his language, so that other implementations, closed or open source, are possible if not available. C is the ur-example, there are dozens of implementations, some proprietary and some free.
The green LEDs are not necessarily the most efficient in terms of amount of light emitted per watt of energy used, if I understand correctly. Hence the question - is the increased sensitivity to green enough to overcome that inefficiency, compared to white?

I didn't say that F# was created from scratch, I'm familiar with its heritage. My point was that C# started as a slightly improved Java but the trend in new language features, particularly in recent years, has shown a strong influence of functional programming in general and F# in particular. Hence the idea that if in some hypothetical universe C# was making changes not constrained by backwards compatibility I would expect it to look more like F# and less like Java.

There is something more than that, and good execution is crucial, and it is good to know on what worked well, and what didn't work out for both the current winners and past losers.

I think Reid has good things to say about what worked for them back than, and take it like that.

There is no rulebook on startups, as all of them have different patterns, but reading on what worked 2003-2010 (pre-mobile times), is not going to hurt anyone.

Dismissing the success as just being merely 'dark patterns' + timing, seems a bit short sighted.
Making a programming language specifically for the needs of one program, then developing that language and the program together, is an underestimated strategy. I believe the world would be more interesting if more people applied it—because then we'd get more qualitatively different new systems. The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis may not be something people currently believe about natural language but for sure it's true about programming: the language you program in conditions what you think, which conditions what program you write. When the two evolve together, evolution can go to new places.

This strategy is time-honored in the Lisp world, where making a language and writing a program are more intertwined, and the cost of making a language much lower, than they usually are.

The parent poster stated that clojures days were numbered because in his opinion statically typed languages were becoming increasingly popular and Clojure didn't follow this trend.

I specifically mentioned JavaScript and python because people have been extolling the virtues of static typing literally before either shipped, while both rose to prominence, and became wildly popular. I'm arguing that neither posters personal preference nor even a correctly assessed trend in computer language design is by itself a useful tool to predict the future success of a given language.

This especially rings false when the same prediction is made several decades in a row.

I wont even address your analogy because analogies are like buttholes. Everyone has one and yours stink.

The real examples I posted contradict what you are saying.

You perhaps have a cartoon level understanding of Chinese tones that causes your confusion. Tones in Chinese aren’t always singsong or rising or falling as you seem to think they must be. They can be subtle (including a neutral tone and very deemphasized uses of all the other tones).

The English examples I posted are quite analogous to tone differences in Chinese in real usage, and your attempts to assert otherwise are lacking relevant evidence.
the poster I originally applied to was arguing exactly that dynamically typed languages were going to die out.

I personally haven't have a LED bulb last 2 years yet, most last 3-6 months. I get them from dollar stores, Walmart, and Ikea. Maybe there is some magical lighting store that sells good ones, but I think there are 3 burnt out ones in various places in my house as I type this.
It's not big. But I'm developing V so that everyone can create large applications with very fast compilation times. I'm getting x120 improvement for DOOM 3, and I think it can be up to 400 times faster for more complex C++ projects using more templates, boost, etc.

Of course I didn't need a new language to make my project compile faster :) I just wanted a simpler C, and I had some experience with writing languages (I wrote 2 languages at school/uni).

Now I'm actually more excited about V than the original product I created it for :)

It's because drivers can and will reject orders with $0 tips. Drivers with GH get paid $3 + $.50 mileage as the crow flies. A $0 left on an order will be a total pay anywhere from $3-$5 depending on distance. It's absolutely not worth it to drive for $3-5 per order especially when a round trip for that order takes around 30 minutes. Also we don't get paid mileage for the trip to the restaurant. To add to the fire GH, DD, UE, etc all take about 25% from the restaurant so everyone is losing except for the courier companies.

I generally like the new features of C# but I still find C++ to be a much more coherently designed language. C# can't escape its poisoned roots in Java despite its best efforts.
casual criticisms on hackernews are still more valuable for drawing attention to your project than in depth comment chains from renowned experts on [repository manager of choice].especially since those comment chains are undiscoverable unless you're already interested in the project(or the chain gets linked on hackernews)

Definitely agree with you that we need legislation.

I meant that I don't really agree with this part of your rhetoric where you are trying to shame people into behaving ethically in business or quit their job. What happens if everyone capable of thinking about morals quits? Do the companies just disappear in a poof of smoke? How does this fix anything, regardless? You have to understand that the situation is not this black and white for 99% of people.

> poor people cannot afford to eat more fruit and vegetables,

Why is this statement so persistent? Vegetables are the cheapest food there is. Lentils have long been a staple of students. Poor people are poor because they are bad with money and make poor decisions. That is why they don't eat vegetables.

So orogene/rogga didn't give you any obvious word associations?

There's more if you look closely, though. Let me quote something straight from the second book in the series, "The Obelisk Gate":

"Our position is thoroughly identified with the physical integrity of the Stillness — for the obvious interest of long-term survival. Maintenance of this land is peculiarly dependent upon seismic equilibrium, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the orogenic can establish such. A blow at their bondage is a blow at the very planet. We rule, therefore, that though they bear some resemblance to we of good and wholesome lineage, and though they must be managed with kind hand to the benefit of both bond and free, any degree of orogenic ability must be assumed to negate its corresponding personhood. They are rightfully to be held and regarded as an inferior and dependent species.

— The Second Yumenescene Lore Council’s Declaration on the Rights of the Orogenically Afflicted"

Recognize that wording? It's the Mississippi declaration of secession in the Civil War. Here's the original bit:

"Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery - the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product, which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization."

Of course orogenes are not the same as African Americans (they're not a race, for one!), and the situation in the books is different in many ways. Nevertheless, there are many intentional parallels and call-outs like that there.

Ask HN: Company is using low quality sites to build links. Is that bad SEO?
It has been found that company is creating, or paying a "trusted vendor" to create, fake websites and user profiles in order to stuff keywords on those sites and then link back to company site and social media profile. This is part of SEO strategy.

Sites include everything from free website hosting sites, forum profiles, industry job / skills boards, and even artist community sites.

Every site has same messaging and same links to company site and social media platform.

Many of the free website hosting sites appear as if it is company but often have incomplete templates using example text, example services, example address, and example team member profiles including photo but home page has same messaging and same links to real company site and social media platform.

Nearly 50% of the sites use rel=nofollow links.

Nearly 50% of the sites use a fake person name.

Some sites say the fake person works for the company.

Is this is bad?

If think this bad how would you try to educate company that this is bad (keep in mind trusted "high quality" vendor is in play with the decision making process).
