Async/await is inherently better than other syntax though, for a number of reasons, and the interpreter does indeed know the difference. If anything the interpreter knows much more about your intent, rather than “oh this function takes a `callback` parameter that’s a function” and can optimize based on that info.
>The next comment down and probably half of the readers are trying to figure out if they're the asshole themselves

Well, you see, most of the readers aren't the management. The management will read this article thinking they're saints and half of their subordinates are assholes. And most of them are, under the author's definition. So you can see how regular employees might be put off by an article like this.
A saas boilerplate with the fastest build out I can possibly muster and least code. Stack is hasura, graphql, stripe for the API, quasar framework for initial frontend to get easy mobile, native, electron, pwa, ssr, etc.

API has teams, users, roles, permissions, subscriptions and plans, following the paradigm that a user can belong to or own multiple teams and easily switch without logging out, users can be invited or request access to teams, admins can set and change features per plan... Etc...

The idea being minimal changes needed to go to market with an idea. Add a few services or features the 'what's it do' and everything else is ready to go.
Yes this seems to miss actual examples of developed countries where fertility is approaching and dropping below replacement rate.
fine, high speed controlled access freeways may have been built only for cars. But even in that case a regular service road parallel to it is still a much better solution that a bicycle path. I sometimes ride in such a service road.
I find the fact that you got downvoted and the subdued scorn of some of the replies you got quite "amusing".
I remember these creatures in the 80s, they would darken the sky, get in your mouth if you had it open. Some comments indicate this was a surprise but I think the mystery is where they have been in the last few years..

Now I've not been at the lake in many years but it seems insects of all types have decreased in numbers hugely. As soon as they adapt to what was hurting them they will come back in great numbers.
Modern day capitalism and the increasing specialisation of jobs combined with problems in the housing market means that people do extraordinary commutes. If the bus or the bicycle is your transport option then you are not going to be setting off at 6.30 in the morning to drive 100 miles to sit at a desk for 8 hours.

In the 1970's nobody drove 100 miles on a daily basis to get to work although there was a small army of travelling salesmen in 'rep' cars that did put in the miles.

Nowadays those reps are probably flying so nothing has improved on that front.

It is hard to untangle this mess, people have careers, kids at schools and considerable investment in automobiles. Also, when companies merge there can be highly dysfunctional travel arrangements going on as a result.

If it is bicycles all the way then that could mean electric bicycles, which means an effective maximum travel distance of 15 miles or an hour of travel time each way.

A government could unpick and sort the mess out, for instance, in the public sector you might find you have people from city A commuting to work in city B and vice-versa to do similar jobs, e.g. in the NHS or education. A government could look at this and use their weight to pay for people to do a job swap, so pay grades are the same but people are working locally. For instance, we have a secondary school French teacher in city A working in city B, and another in city B working in city A. There could be a straightforward incentive to un-do this travel mismatch, where everyone wins. Under normal circumstances opportunities for the French teacher in city A to get a job in city A might not come along. Same for the counterpart in city B.

This would have knock on effects in the private sector as the main earner in the household might be able to also go for a more local job at a lower pay rate with benefits in getting two hours of their life back every day.

The bicycle definitely can be part of this future, if the government could get a sizeable quantity of public sector workers to have local jobs part of the package could include electric bicycles.
They didn't sign it but they voted in favor of it.
I work for a company where the CEO has specifically implemented a "no-asshole strategy" from the start.

He too talked about the "asshole effect" that causes companies to fall apart. Hire one asshole, and everybody eventually turns into an asshole. Results: the company is only nice guys, and it feels so good. Sure we occasionally hire the asshole. But they're rooted out fairly quickly.

How to keep assholes at bay:

1. Stay small: Bringing the right people in is more important that shipping that project faster. Fast growing companies all get the asshole disease and then have to cut their arms off.

2. Have a lot of people interview: I had 18 interviews for my job. The company had 25 people.
Time to look into xi-rope again :)

I use BT openreach too. They do but as I said patchy connectivity. I see that when I run nslookup in windows which isn't smart enough to fall back to IPv4 DNS when v6 is not reachable. It seems to be on and off.

That is not far from truth, I use to work for a company that owned several Casinos, we use to have "whales" spending more than 100k each month, sometimes they lost everything so quick that we gave them 50% back or trip to Bahamas / Paris, Anything to keep them happy and coming back.

Same trait may have different effects in different environments. In stone age, bad eyesight might have been a severe evolutionary disadvantage. After we invented eyeglasses, bad eyesight has no effect on your survival or number of children.

In a culture where large families were normal, perhaps genetic traits that push you towards having a large family were hidden by cultural aspects that made you have a large family. Only in an environment where having a large family is not the norm, will they surface and have an effect.

Just speculating here.
The problem is many of these IoT pierce holes in the firewall (upnp) to expose themselves to the WAN.
The complexity in that few sentences you wrote alone wants me to keep doing nice and simple and reliable ipv4. I don't think I'll ever transition, because the amount of knowledge I have to acquire to trust myself with all the complexities of ipv6 is gigantic. Ipv4 however, is simple. I can have a simple firewall at home that does NAT, a DHCP server and I'm done and secure. Well ok, secure enough. But I don't even know how to find out what documentation to study to make that same setup on ipv6.
A copy is, so I can grab my bashrc if I need it. However, it’s still impossible to install things on certain systems…
Some social improvements do propagate across generations.

For example, we no longer throw virgins into volcanoes.

On the other hand there are also regressions with pockets of civilization reverting to outdated practices here and there, even now.

How an Obsessed Trance Musician Became a Disruptive Entrepreneur
I understand where you're coming from, but the concept of "regulars" is one of the things that can hinder newcomers from fitting in, adding to the loneliness and isolation epidemic.

Feeling like an outsider is hard to overcome and requires effort from both parties, but it's better if a community does not make a distinction between "outsiders/newbies" versus "regulars" to begin with.
Thats an excellent idea, really like it. Unfortunately I think it's going to be a problem getting traction, most of my neighbours are retired and not computer literate. But I hope it work out.

> I find this interesting because one the reasons that the industry moved away from XML was to have cleaner separation between data and logic.

That's not really true or even sensible, since XML doesn't combine data and logic. Sure, there were XML-based logic languages (most notably XSLT) as well as XML-based data languages, but while all were applications of XML they were separate languages.

XML lost ground to JSON, etc., as the fashion pendulum swung away from heavyweight tooling and detailed specs for most things (though it's swinging back again), and to some closer-to-memory-layout binary formats as efficiency became a concern in some of the places where rigid specs remained important.

You are correct about people having chances to be upwardly mobile, but in my experience in Africa that means that eventually they just move away to a more decent area.

The low economic areas grow very fast due to an influx of more poor people, but they don't develop much over time. If anything they tend to degrade due to extremely poor service delivery etc.
Interesting that this solution bubbled up.

I've struggled with similar issues before - when travelling, or out in a city, where to do some quiet work, or take a call, or speak to a group of colleagues?

I've explored short-term (i.e. hourly) office space rentals, but IME the low headline rates ("from...") become a lot higher when you dig into the specifics and have minimum spends. I'd happily pay $<=20-30 for a convenient small quiet office for an hour, but not $80+. I've also never found a service that offers anything like the low friction that (from the article) unlocking a car remotely would offer.

I wonder if this area is ready for some disruption...?
I think the Non-Turing completeness is misunderstood as "no infinite loops!". Of course, that's the obvious effect of not having it, but it has more important effects:

1. Any expression can be normalised at compile time. This means that you can remove all abstractions in your code and audit the result before running it. This is great of debugging and understanding a codebase you may not be familiar with.

2. You can be sure that the language cannot do a jailbreak and potentially read files or make network calls it was not supposed to. Not because the Dhall developers are security geniuses but because it is literally impossible without Turing completeness.

An example of a NT complete language that you would hate if it could read a file in your system and send it to attackers is Regular Expressions, for example.

3. It helps the language stay focused. This limitation is the biggest motivator to keep the language being focused on a single domain, and not try to be everything. This also helps execution performance of the language.
Some companies use bots for their support twitters. Samsung for example had a twitter bot that replies everyone

And it even uses a human name. Really dishonest.
Also, that evolution works by "the survival of the fittest". If an invasive species (that didn't evolve in the environment it's invading) is better-suited to the environment than the native species (who did evolve there, and by rights should be better suited to it), then that's a win for evolution. The fitter species survive, and will then evolve into the niches available.

The introduction of mammals to New Zealand is a disaster for the birds that live there and that have evolved into all the niches available. But for the planetary biosphere, it's a win because the mammals are better suited to living there (otherwise they wouldn't be so successful).

Cane toads, though... that one is going to be interesting.
I am planning to build a business card scanner like https://dev.camcard.com. Not that nothing like it exists. I am currently working on finishing deep learning courses from fast.ai and wanted to build a cool open source project to apply my learnings. Also wanted to release iOS app which does this on the device without server intervention using MLKit for iOS (I have worked with React native but not on swift - so personally challenging on many fronts).
Interesting bit about the 18 interviews. While your company sounds like something really cool, I'd probably not go through all those interviews unless a) they're brief and we move through them quickly (like, in <2 months tops), b) I know about the process in advance so I can prepare and c) I'm paid for my time, starting from after the screening interview.

Regarding c) - 18 interviews, each taking at least 30 minutes (screening would be 15 on average but other would make up for it), that's roughly 9 full hours of my very own time, if not more.
> Large families simply happen due to poverty. When poor, you want more children because there's strength in numbers. Plus the women are staying home and can afford to have children.

Poverty and risk, fertility changes lag behind medical advances / availability e.g. in europe the large families were mostly around the first half of the 20th century (to soon after WWII), where culturally you wanted to have a fair number of children so you'd have some living to adult age (and also manpower on the farm) but medicine had also progressed and spread enough that almost all of them would survive to adult age.

Culture quickly caught up and the default assumption that all children will live to adult age means even farming families aren't really large anymore (not to mention machines & automation makes the manpower of many children less relevant).

Developed countries are mostly at the point where medical advances are getting available, leading to huge families because the cultural aspect hasn't caught up yet.

"how they reached the conclusion that fertility was heritable?"

Isnt it obviously true? If you don't breed you don't pass on your non breeding genes, if you do breed....

Living organisms are literally breeding machines, that's all they really do. Natural selection favours those who do it better.
If I write an API that exposes the resources A,B and C. Now I use graphql to access a subset of all of those resources, doesn’t this just mean that I have written the wrong API? That I would ditch A,B and C and write a resource D which just did that I wanted?
If you're doing anything involving externally defined/named data and analysis, working with it interactively/exploratory, I find it infinitely better, just because you can BOTH represent data using the same name that external sources are using AND not clobber/shadow any functions, macros or code currently in scope.

Its a little thing, but if I designed a language for data munging/science/analysis, it would be a lisp-2...

/and yes, i'm well aware that python and julia are not...
I have always wondered whether something like this could be observed.

I wonder, shouldn't this be already observable? I would look not at the median/mean fertility, but on the outliers on the upper end. If the share increases/becomes more expressed in social groups that are not associated with a large number of children otherwise, one should see indicators that the theory is has some thruth.

Also, we are talking about heritability and entire generations. If such trend can be identified, I would expect it to be very small and take time (measured in generations) until it will have a real effect.
Gatekeeping loneliness is hardly constructive.

Suggesting people start by solving larger problems before smaller ones is equally not constructive.

Connecting a heart rate monitor to a linux system and attempting to study the impact of different activities on my heart rate.

Context: I train for endurance events, and that's seen my resting heart rate fall by about 13 beats per minute. On some days this goes lower during training, and some days it doesn't. The idea is that certain kinds of foods, and certain activities might help me make my training more effective.

If a trait is not strongly selected for but variation exists it will be maintained in the population. See height, hair colour, propensity to gain weight, etc.

Then you change the environment so that the trait is under strong selection. The people living in Scandinavia 3,000 years ago couldn’t digest lactose. Now ethnic Scandinavians who are lactose intolerant are basically nonexistent. It’s at above 99% homozygotes.

Imagine taking a population and killing everyone over 18 under 1.8m and doing this for four generations. Assuming anyone was left after the first generation the fourth generation will be substantially taller than the first.

Desire for children was never under strong selection pressure before because desire to have sex led to children pretty reliably up until the birth of the demographic transition in France in the ~1700s. Now it is under selection pressure, everywhere with reliable access to contraception so the people who like children are going to have more children, and their share of the population will grow.

> Large families simply happen due to poverty. When poor, you want more children because there's strength in numbers. Plus the women are staying home and can afford to have children.

This will be news to the Mormons, Amish, Hutterites and the Hasidim among a number of Orthodox sects of Jews. Large families do not just happen due to poverty. Some people want more children and arrange their lives around that.
Wow! Very interesting. Would love to know how you're building it! Any write up on this would be very helpful. Thanks!
The _internal_ problem is addressing all your _internal_ systems, so that's what IPv6 immediately solves. You don't need everybody's cat blog to migrate to IPv6 to be able to connect to your 15 000 Cisco routers in 48 data centres distributed around the country, only the 15 000 Cisco routers need IPv6 addresses for that part.

For those smartphones, the other half of the equation is 464XLAT adaptors at the edge of your network. So no, the smartphones don't get given IPv4 addresses at all.

What happens there is split into two scenarios

1. User goes to Facebook. Facebook has IPv6, everything just works, no extra expense

2. User goes to My Cat Blog. My Cat Blog is IPv4-only but two layers of NAT64 make it work anyway [ Edited: My previous explanation here was just wrong. Sorry. Go read up on 464XLAT if you care, the phone needs to know what's going on here, so this is easier to deliver for a phone network than to home computers... ]

Case 2 isn't much better than CG-NAT for IPv4 services - your smartphone still doesn't have a "real" IPv4 address. BUT the ISP only needs to spend on it in proportion to continued use of IPv4. As sites big or small offer IPv6, their users automatically stop relying on 464XLAT for those sites and cut the costs of the equipment, whereas people who choose CG-NAT are stuck paying for that forever.
