I'm curious: I've used PHP (not by choice) for the past two years and I strongly dislike it. (I could wax eloquent on this subject, but I don't want a flame war. :) What do you see of value in PHP? Is it the language itself? Its ecosystem or community?
This sounds a lot like when they started making it handle Unicode correctly. We ran into the same problem but fixed it by setting `LC_ALL=C` in the affected log processing scripts.
Erlang's use case is handling lots of connections simultaneously, and messaging between processes.

To me, the amount of electricity used is a similar issue to RAM. Just because we have computers with more RAM does NOT mean programs NEED to use that RAM. So many applications right now that don’t need as much memory as they are using but, whether it be lazy or poorly planned code or any other excuse, they guzzle it up like they are the only application running on your device.

I’m all for figuring out what’s the most efficient option while also ensuring it’s an effective one as well. If you kept a knife in its sheath to keep it nice, but never take it out to use it, then it’s not servicing its purpose as a tool (ignoring ornamental ones). However, no matter how cool it might seem, you really don’t need a samurai sword to pear apples.
Across the board Apple just seems to be struggling to execute on software. What they do offer is incomplete and buggy and they're falling farther and farther behind on new features. If they're serious about pivoting to being a services company they need to fix this ASAP. There's a deep-seated arrogance at Apple that I think they inherited from Jobs that isn't serving them well now that their competition has gotten its act together.

Just as a thought experiment ask yourself - of the apps you use daily on your iPhone, how many are made by Apple, other than Safari?

There could be economic and government factors here. Almost any form of birth control or medical procedure costs money (and kids really do), while many people are trying to just pay rent and eat.

Dogs, being social pack animals who co-evolved with people, are very adept at reading anthro-socio-emotional communication because tens of thousands of years of survival depended on and reinforced it. It's also likely that they're not consciously aware of what's wrong, but sense something is wrong because of an association formed by the distinct odor preceding a seizure.

To play the devil's advocate, isn't technological "addiction" the inevitable future, so why even fight it? The more engaging technology becomes, the more people will naturally(and perhaps rightfully) choose it over reality. Isn't trying to curb the addiction merely an attempt to postpone the future?
That's not how the game works. The community "plays the game" by submitting better benchmarks when they come up with better solutions.
Typescript is a superset of Javascript, you can literally submit the faster JS programmes as the TS ones.
Totally agree and I've always wondered how much of that has to do with the hardware feel.
There's a (relatively) famous problem in astrodynamics called "Apples in a Spacecraft". I wrote a blog post about it a little while back [1], but the gist of the problem is this:

Suppose you're in a rectangular spacecraft orbiting around the Earth and you release a bushel of apples so that they are uniformly distributed and stationary relative to your spacecraft. If you don't disturb the apples, what will their long-term distribution look like?

There was a bit of a debate in the literature as to the answer to this problem and the physicist Alfvén (better known for Alfvén waves [2]) ended up getting the wrong answer. The correct answer (due to Hénon, who is better known for the Hénon map [3]). Hénon showed that half the apples would end up at the top back corner, and the other half would end up at the bottom front corner of the spacecraft.

The reason for this is that the apples at the top of the spacecraft are in a slightly larger orbit and therefore have a slower velocity than the center of mass of the spacecraft. This causes them to drift to the back of the spacecraft. Similarly, the apples that start on the bottom of the spacecraft have a higher velocity and start to drift towards the front of the spacecraft.

To the naysayers: these languages are either compiled, or will be JIT'ed at runtime. What they will be compiled to will be chip specific binaries-- x86, ARM, whatever. The energy usage will be markedly different depending on which chip architecture is chosen, and will no doubt be inconsistent between different architectures and languages.

Or to put it another way. Why do you think mobile devices almost exclusively use ARM? Why do datacenter operators invest heavily in R&D for ASICs instead of engineering new languages or runtimes? Because languages play a secondary role in energy consumption.

This study is just like countless of other meaningless benchmarks seen in language war flame posts. Pointless and misses the big picture.

Honestly I wouldn't go anywhere near Palemoon. Not unless you feel like using an antiquated browser such as Firefox 28 which is where it forked.

I expect their shills will be deployed to this thread shortly.

It's certainly not more secure when you've got all your extensions running at highest level privileged (not WebExtensions), the sandboxing code "removed" because mattatobin a Palemoon developer says that it "doesn't work", without giving any specific use case and their non-compliance with the HSTS spec RFC6797 [0]. There's probably countless other things wrong with it, but that's what I spotted after a cursory look.

Their developers are also toxic https://github.com/privacytoolsIO/privacytools.io/issues/375 that's all the proof you ever needed.

Many of your sentiments there are demonstrated in that very thread. One of the developers (mattatobin) repeatedly avoids answering my questions and just says "fake news" and goes all trumpian on me.

Don't bother trying to ask on their forums about this they will just delete your posts and go on about "the untrue narrative" without addressing your questions.

If you contact them on twitter they will block you. It seemed like their while mode of operation was very "alt-right" if that makes sense. They live in a small "social bubble" it would seem.

I'd heard from other sources when Bluetooth 5 was first coming out that increased bandwidth was part of the spec, so I was hoping that would resolve my congestion woes. 2.4ghz is unusable at some points in the city.

This is way better than reading endless blogspots and searching on google. How much time did you invest into making this?
My best guess: probably written by someone that doeant know how to write performance TS. I say this with no skin in the game. I write neither JS nor TS. What I have observed in language benchmarks over the years, is that the benchmarks are rarely written by an expert, but usually by someone with cursory knowledge of the language. E.g. just enough to be dangerous.

Often times, these sorts of benchmarks are done with prejudice (not necessarily malice). The benchmarks are written by someone with something to prove: my chosen tech stack performs better, and let me show you why. A favorite of mine is Perl vs Python comparisons, where you see an idiomatic Perl implementation vs a non idiomatic Python implementation (or other way around). Typically in a head-to-head comparison, the benchmarks are developed by the same individual whom likely has above average knowledge in their favorite and below average in the target they're trying to show as inferior.

You'll see this time and time again in internet benchmarks comparing performance. Unless you can see the code from all benchmarks involved, my suggestion is to avoid them. I mean, for all I know, the author of the benchmark was unaware of the built in sort and instead bubble sorted.

This kind of thing is an pattern unless the benefit over Boyer-Moore huge.

This is exactly what happened. I was super surprised they didn’t realize AirPods 2 before Christmas, but I guess they figured people would buy gen 1 anyway. Then they release the new airpods in combination with their other launches of the iPads etc when they realized that AirPower wasn’t going to happen. Then they dump AirPower after the release so as to not taint sales of AirPods 2 on launch day.
Basically already done in Manhattan. If you want working internet in an apartment building, it has to be 5ghz at this point.

Yes. Bluetooth low energy in Bluetooth 5.0 now supports two megabits per second data rate, up from the previous speed of 1 megabit per second.

The specification for audio over Bluetooth low energy is not out yet.

> but there's no telling what "extra" Javascript (and thus overhead) might be inserted by the Typescript compiler.

That's true, but the fact we're talking about an order of magnitude running time difference is what lead me to think it's not as easily explained as that.

> there's no point jumping to conclusions

Respectfully, I don't think I did. I put out a theory, with my reasoning, fully acknowledging where it might be wrong. As someone that doesn't use TypeScript (and I wouldn't consider myself in expert in JavaScript either), I don't feel qualified to assess the respective algorithms for those languages in the benchmarks game, so I brought the issue to a larger audience so someone else might take a look if so inclined.

> Typescript is still 2-3x slower than Node in several of the benchmarks, and the results could have been different in May 2018 when the article was written.

That doesn't really invalidate my theory, as it's possible those are also instances where it's lagging in a good submission. Given that there are several tests where it actually beats the fastest JavaScript algorthim submitted, that seems at least plausible.
This may be a dumb question as I know nothing about Typescript, but is it idiomatic to do that, though? You can, for the most part, use C in C++. But if C was beating the pants off of C++ in benchmarks it wouldn't tell me anything useful if someone submitted a C program as the C++ benchmark. If I wanted to use idiomatic C, I'd use C. I expect a C++ vs. C comparison to compare the encouraged features of C++ with what's available in C.
What if I don't want to be "protected" from non-compete agreements? If my company wants to pay me 7 figures to not work for 1-2 years (or to work in another industry and double dip), I should have the right to take them up on the offer. Why do you think you're entitled to ban me from entering a mutually beneficial arrangement with my employer because you made the paternalistic assumption that such contracts are intrinsically bad for me?
> Are there any legal methods for me to force him to sign a vesting agreement?

This seems like a red flag for any relationship. If your attitude to your cf upon disagreement is to find a way to force him, it doesn't sound like a partnership. more like someone you don't want to work with. if that's the case, maybe better to face it and find a way to part ways.
> So basically - LLCs are unnecessary if you are the only employee.

This is not true for many reasons, primary among them being taxes and healthcare.

I'll explain taxes below. For healthcare, I use Trinet as an HR provider (since I am a company) and they allow me to get benefits (including healthcare) at corporate rates. You need to be incorporated for them to even talk to you.

> I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this, but LLCs are pass through entities for tax purposes.

Happy to explain. When you are self-employed, you pay SECA taxes on your entire income.

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/fica.asp

For self-employed, that means both the employer and the employee portion. Let's say you pull in 300k. You're going to pay SECA taxes on all of that.

If I create an LLC, do an S-corp election, then retain myself in the LLC for say 50k, I will only pay those taxes on the 50k. The other 250k will be passed through to my personal income and I will only be responsible for the standard income taxes.

This is not a good thing. Having whole extended families get priced out of a large region and only the wealthy or well-paid professionals able to move in, so that people performing all manner of support jobs need to commute from further and further away and live more and more precarious lives, is inefficient, socially/environmentally destructive, and makes the place less pleasant for everyone to live in.

The whole Bay Area would benefit from housing prices coming down quite a bit after building a whole lot more housing units and transit.

In theory, it wouldn't be too hard to implement with an neural network. In theory. In practice, the problem is figuring out how to do the training because I don't have 2 hours of your voice saying the same thing as the target voice and with perfect alignment. I suspect it's still possible, but it's not a simple thing either.
Our ancestors at the time were small shrew-like creatures. The extinction event occurred in several phases. The immediate impact directly devastated the local region and created a mega-tsunami that spread yet more destruction. It also kicked up a huge amount of debris which then re-entered Earth's atmosphere around the world over the course of the next roughly hour or so. This would have heated most of the atmosphere to the temperature of an oven, sparking massive wildfires and killing off most land animals. The ash and other crud injected into the stratosphere (such as sulfur dioxide) would have stuck around for several years and reduced the effective insolation at the Earth's surface substantially, causing massive die-off of plants and a contraction of primary productivity (biomass creation) across the globe (effectively a "great depression" in the food web).

Many aquatic animals would have been able to survive the initial effects but would have been put in quite a pinch by the reduction in food that set in after. As mentioned, large land animals on the surface would have been mostly wiped out pretty quick, many of the rest would have starved as the one two punch of massive fires and reduced sunlight (and possibly global cooling) would have produced. Small animals that lived or took refuge underground (or perhaps were aquatic or semi-aquatic) could have survived the initial effects in large numbers and though they would have diminished in population in the hard times afterward could have eked through.

Scrappy little omnivores and/or scavengers would have been well suited to ride the waves of chaotic changes following the mass extinction.
