These persistent structures use what's called structural sharing. The simplest persistent structure is just a regular linked list. While random access is O(n), inserting, deleting, or concating is O(1). Since the list is not mutated, we can insert an element to the head of the list just by taking the new element and making a pointer between it and the original list. The original list is not modified, nor is it copied.

More sophisticated persistent structures like Funkia List have O(log32n) access, which is basically constant time. This makes them better general-purpose data structures than mutable arrays.

>And, more important… does it matter?

If author wants to continue using CF for his own reasons, that's fine but it's still worth knowing why others care about popularity:

1) job prospects - e.g. knowing Javascript will have more relevance in job hunting than knowing Microsoft's VBScript that was used in Internet Explorer 8.

2) large community that has seen similar problems and can provide answers to copy&paste code : blog posts, tutorials, books, Google searches, StackOverflow, etc. (Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/979/)

3) large ecosystem with lots of 3rd-party libraries, open source repos, etc so one doesn't have to invent everything from scratch

4) the language is continually enhanced with the latest technical features to stay up-to-date - e.g. Delphi didn't have 64bit compiler support for a long time (~2011?) even though C++ had that ability for years. That drove away many programmers that needed to access more than 4GB of RAM.

The common theme to all those bullet points is that programmers are using "popularity" as a rough cost-benefit analysis of investing time into using it. They know programming doesn't happen in a vacuum.

I've noticed that when a side project becomes a Patreon project, suddenly more time is spent with community involvement; blog posts, live streams, etc. Even $100 a month creates this implicit reporting obligation to keep the community in the loop, which might end up eating time that might be spent doing something else. It might also burn out a more introverted developer.

Personally i find writing XAML a step backwards when it comes to UI design and WYSIWYG tools like Lazarus which has some great layout tools are much better (and BTW personally i'd say that LCL is the best UI framework i've worked with, but it isn't without its warts - it just has less warts than anything else).

But my question was more towards how making WPF portable will create a renaissance for the desktop considering the market share it already can cover and that even among that market share isn't exactly popular, not how good WPF is.
I don't really care much for language popularity, but I think the case to be made, as can be for any language of waning popularity, is the pool of developers who are available for hire.

ColdFusion is also unpopular for an important fact: it's proprietary and their licenses aren't cheap.

James Clerk Maxwell was a genius, likely more intelligent than Musk, who did not take over the world.

If James Clerk Maxwell was born 10,000 years earlier, he would likely be a respected shaman or an intelligent warrior, but he would not have derived the laws of Electromagnetism without 10,000 years of scientific development.

Likewise, Elon Musk is nothing without the experimentation, empiricism, and the sum total of human knowledge accumulated to this day.

Paraphrasing the linked article, a superintelligent AGI will do nothing because physical resources and crystallized empirical knowledge is the bottleneck to human progress. Not intelligence.

Now I would like to see AGI fanatics address that core thesis.
> That's a fine opinion to have, but it doesn't make sense to demonize them for being a for-profit company.

Because some people are just born as for-profit companies?

Labels are useful to classify behaviour, but that doesn't automatically excuse that behaviour.
What really got to me is that in one of his promotional essays, he describes how his primary classification is how people feel about their jobs. There were lots of examples, one of which was how someone spent months compiling a report for a shareholders, only to have the report never read, or about how people feel they're not useful. In no case was the question of whether the job/work itself was useful, only how the workers felt about it. There was also a categorization of his "Bullshit Jobs" and as I reading it, I kept thinking "those are actually useful jobs that someone needs to do."

It is a common way of thinking about work that I've seen in friends, etc. I just think it's very cynical and self-centred and ultimately self-defeating, like the whole "follow your passion" advice. Asking how your job is useful to someone else, rather than how gratifying it is to yourself is a much more useful way to look at work. Being useful to other people is also an alternate way to find meaning in what would otherwise be derided as a "bullshit" job.
WSL is terrible and gives me a bad impression of MS (and gives Linux a bad name). Their new terminal isn't out yet as far as I know.
Wikipedia [1] quotes from Kármán's autobiography where he discusses the origin of his idea, and he used an example of 300,000 ft. (91 km.) As the paper you link to shows, it is one of several candidates for the 'edge' of space, and they are all inherently vague. The paper shows how, by picking one reasonable set of parameters, you can put a Kármánesque line at 80 km., but its strongest argument for space beginning there is that several different candidates overlap at around that altitude.

This is still a really interesting business model, and one I applaud, as it helps a lot of open source developers.
Your virtual address space needs room for that, clever allocators can’t violate the laws of physics. Also, you can only do this at page size granules.

Facebook definitely does not care about the user returning to the same place, ever, or having any sort of continuity or coherence. I think that they do bank on confusion somehow making them more money. What I dislike is opening Instagram, and it shows me posts loaded the last time, and I want to click on them... But before I can, it reloads and shows me an entirely new semi-random selection of posts. Basically just like the Facebook news feed, you might see things that you wish to go back to, but have no hope of finding them ever again unless you have a great memory and are very dedicated.
It always seems strange to me how much deference is given to masters degrees for immigration purposes when in many industries they aren't worth getting, and can actually correlate negatively with someone's skill. And you get no points for a "mere" undergrad degree, even though in many fields such as CS that's more meaningful as it represents twice as much work. At my alma mater, the undergrad CS holders are much more capable than the graduate CS holders on average, simply because the undergrads know they don't need the grad degree and thus don't get one, whereas the grad students had a different undergrad degree and may have only gotten those two years' worth of exposure to CS. So the undergrads have twice the experience, which is substantial. This phenomenon is widespread in CS.

How to optimize your website for mobile?
Kind of bummed this is a new primitive type. Every instance of `typeof a === 'number'` just became `typeof a === `number` || typeof a === 'bigint'`...

EDIT: The more I think about it (and the more comments I get), the more I think this might actually be a good thing. I think bigint will probably not be used in places where integer numbers are currently used, and it might be unreasonable to expect code to work with numbers or bigints. In that case, it's actually probably good that you can easily tell the difference using typeof, without requiring some hacky fix like `Array.isArray`.

It does mean that "don't mix numbers and bigints" is going to become very popular JS advice soon.
I'd be up for automated payment suggestions in the corner of the page based on how much I've viewed or used the content, since I've so far sporadically chipped in a few bucks to youtubers. I'd like to be more even handed with my support.

There were these sort of reminders in the shareware, which was when I was young and didn't have much coin to chip in but it did present a good reminder every time I started the application. They'd even delay you 30 seconds before loading some of the apps if you were freeloading too often. Gosh, shareware, those were the days...
The problem here is not so much about open vs closed-source. GitHub is a large centralized social network controlled by corporation, and we should never expect a corporation to behave ethically because ethics too often contradict with commercial interests. There is so much possibility for abuse, they do censorship and there are ways in which they can discriminate against certain projects and licenses and promote others. Even if Microsoft or previous owners have not done anything bad with GitHub yet, it does not mean it is acceptable to give so much control and influence over the open-source community to a single commercial company.
This is NOT about helping us out, fellow maintainer-kids, it's about owning the playground and burning the forest.

There has been an ecosystem. If this was about anything except market capture through burning VC/reserve funding, GitHub would have engaged in existing nacent and experimental spaces. They haven't: http://opencollective.com/github

If a company is truly trying to be embody open culture, they support and and-yes existing projects as step 1. Case in point: https://words.steveklabnik.com/why-im-partnering-with-balanc...

If we have a problem or idea for OpenCollective/Liberapay/etc, the staff live on open chat rooms -- the github issue queues are public -- the code is interrogable by the curious and adventurous. With GitHub, we get bupkis. Or wait, we get coaxed into a one-on-one email support channel where we can't see one another, speak together, nor find fellow travellers. Or we get the unofficial wailing wall that is https://github.com/isaacs/github

You can dress as you want in SV as long as it's close to the standard. Try going to work in nicer clothes. You'll get plenty of comments. You're the outsider in the group. People question if you belong.

No, of course you won't be told that you can't dress that way. You'll still feel it. It will still affect you.
> But they can if they want to!

Agreed. Most every problem is solvable if there's the will to do it. The problem in this case is that there doesn't seem to be the political/social will to make the changes and sacrifices necessary for this scale.

It's unfortunate, but most people are very present-biased. It's a tough sell to convince them to adopt a forward thinking policy when it causes pain now. Maybe I'm cynical, but if you offered people to vote on whether to double the price of gasoline in order to subsidize renewables because it will be better in the long-run, I doubt that would pass.

It is not much better. It is something different. It's popular because of the way React works. It is not always correct because it is easier to understand how state changes. Using array push over concat shouldn't make understanding more difficult and using the slower function for this reason is missing the point.
Not everyone, or even most of the FP community does that. There is even a famous paper on how lambda is the ultimate imperative.

Only during the very tail end of it. But I have asked all of these questions to my parents, and all four of my grandparents.

Between all of us, we had two cars, one datcha, one relative who was an agricultural auditor (and, therefore, recipient of food-related bribes), one black and white television, one vacuum cleaner, a few people with the status of 'victims of political repression' (awarded post-1991), one four-room apartment with a solarium (for six people), and one three-room apartment (for five people).

So, all-in all, we were quite well-to do. (Thanks to my grandparents, who were factory workers. My parents, who were physics professors, were not making very much.)

My earliest memories include standing in bread lines during the transition period in the early 90s, reading through textbooks with pro-communist pages crossed out, and listening to TV news announce a higher and higher dollar to ruble exchange rate on a day-over-day basis.
That's the funny thing: Those type of articles is what you get when someone without knowledge of CS theory like Big-O notation gets into an issue of a linear vs higher complexity algorithm. They have to do lots of simulations to grok the depth of the performance difference.

> The issue is that US companies are following the letter of the rules while violating the spirit.

"The spirit of the law" is the refuge of people that can't be bothered to make good laws to begin with and just want to make up whatever rules they want ex post facto.

> If the spirit of the law is to ban your business model, switch to a different one or stop operating.

If the spirit of the law is to ban their business model then stop pussyfooting around it and just make that the letter of the law.

> If US companies keep getting fined despite having "good lawyers", maybe those lawyers aren't that good after all.

A good lawyer can't always overcome a bad court.
It more or less is, my use case for it is more or less Notepad++ with Intellisense and a few of the marketplace apps. I like it though, it's lightweight and I've used it as a text editor a few times.

That being said, my most used is probably either regular Notepad or Notepad++ in a Windows env.
Not necessarily disagreeing with you, but that type of rationing in the U.S. only seems to work if there is a collective agreement on an existential crisis (e.g. WWII).

Unfortunately, there's still too much disagreement on climate change at the population level for that level of shared sacrifice.

Some are saying this is a response to needing more people due to decreasing fertility rates. At least in the US, I was shocked to learn that people actually _want_ children at the same rates as before (about 2.5 kids, and 95% of people want children). However, according to these sources, the major reason is that its too expensive (~65%) and the economy seems uncertain (~12%).

Until hardware changes away from being an intrinsically imperative machines, immutable approaches will be slower simply because the hardware doesn’t really support that.

We saw FP hardware leading to performance boosts kind of happen with GPUs (pixel and vertex shaders are just transformers), but then they got back to imperative again with GPGPU.

I am surprised and disappointed that the original paper and the blog post has zero reference to unikernel research, despite the fact that unikernel pretty much is the whole encompassing idea.

I am wondering whether or not this is a missing or a different understanding the concept.

Edit:
Sorry I did not really get the difference between library OS and unikernels.

It's still a lack of reference considering their connections.

A year or two ago I would have replied that ColdFusion is actually dead, and that using it or really, even, maintaining applications in it is irresponsible, because it's virtually impossible to secure. But I think it may have become so archaic that vulnerability researchers aren't really hitting it as much any more? Maybe you've weathered the storm, and CF will be safe to use from here on out?

(Obviously: don't use ColdFusion).
