Performance is a big one. Not focusing on performance is like a strategic mistake for a programming language these days.

I haven't looked at Perl in years, having long ago switched to Python/SciPy, but now I see that Perl 6 doesn't have GIL, something that Python has been unable to shed. So now a language that nobody cares about anymore solves the #1 problem that I have with Python. We are truly blessed to have so many shitty implementations of dumb programming languages to choose from these days!
Bless you. When I was started using the PC around Win 95, 98 era, tutorials weren't needed to figure out how to use programs. All I had to do was slow down every few seconds to read tool tips. And that was the time when intuitive icons were use.

Now I need tutorials to figure out simple programs - even web apps - frustrating.

And while we're at it, "Tips of the day" on opening a software dripped important knowledge.
Perl 6 is more different from Perl 5 than Java 11 is from Java 1, or ES2019 is from OG Javascript. It is genuinely a different language, and pretending that it's the same language has been a huge problem for both of these languages to an even larger extent than this article recognizes.
I wrote a short essay on this four years ago, here: http://www.fmjlang.co.uk/blog/NoSilverBullet.html

The gist of it is that although Brooks was correct when he wrote No Silver Bullet, since then there's been an enormous increase in accidental complexity and, if that is recognized and removed, an order of magnitude improvement is now possible.
I do put myself in similar situations with less gear, just for shorter periods of time, and when I’m closer to home. I don’t wear all that gear when riding in traffic, and arguably the consequences can be much higher when hitting or being hit by a car.

The gear helps when I have much greater exposure (i.e. longer periods of time) to the risks, and part of the idea is when I’m taking a vacation and spending a lot of money to go up to Whistler for a week, fewer small problems will end my vacation early. The gear also helps when I run the risk of exhaustion, which is a major cause of mountain bike crashes.

BTW, I actually do think there’s some truth to the idea that gear increases risk taking. That doesn’t mean that overall safety goes down though, so you have to be careful how you think and talk about it. If injury outcomes are on average lower when wearing gear, then that’s that, it doesn’t matter if people are taking larger chances, the protection is still outweighing the risk.

As an outsider who hasn't written perl code in more than a decade this all makes a lot of sense to me.

I think of Perl 5 as something "outdated" because I know that there is a language called Perl 6. When I think of Perl 6 I am not particularly interested in it because I assume it's more or less the same as the "old" Perl, which I don't use and didn't really like back in the day.

Renaming Perl 6 to something else would help with both of these problems.

That said, I wonder how much damage has already been done at this point and whether renaming it now will still be very useful. There are a lot of references to Perl 6 out there already, so convincing people that Perl 5 is the latest version of Perl again will be tough.

"replace the mean with median"

This illustrates the black-box aspect of it. You changed something and the results are affected but you don't know why. Median has a built-in implicit filtering (it's not affected by extreme outliers like the mean), so it could simply be that you needed to filter your inputs. But won't know, because... black box.
> It's pretty much going to be Trump vs Biden.

Possible, but I doubt it. The early non-incumbent front-runner almost never wins the nomination, and while Biden has a big lead, it's far from a majority of the party and all of his opposition and most of the party electorate differ from him in the same direction (e.g., Democrats prefer Medicare for All over keeping Obamacare by a 2:1 margin.)

As the set of candidates narrows (and it will considerably before the first primary votes are cast), that doesn't work in Biden’s favor.

"Progressive" in this case means it uses progressive enhancement: it'll work even if your browser doesn't have those additions (though QoL won't be as nice), and it also uses responsive design such that it's just as useful on desktop as on mobile.

There's no saving Perl 5; it's a legacy language in legacy maintenance mode for good reason.

Renaming Raku/Camelia could help that language quit being saddled with the perception that it's also legacy in the same way, though.

While I'm sure that buried in the TOS you can be banned at any time for any reason, and the sheer volume of apps they referee makes things difficult to have humans manage. The "right" thing to do here would be to at least provide some sort of substantiation of your assertion that it violates policy.

-App is asking for more permissions than it needs
-App is violating privacy
-App is direct copy of/ mimicking Core OS functionality
-App is using non opensource code

etc.

They obfuscation of the reasons for the ban seem to me to be one of the following
1) laziness
2) malice
3) fear that it would somehow expose the methodology for finding the policy violations and create a cat and mouse game.

It seems like mobile development is becoming less and less an attractive platform to spend my cycles. There are basically 2 markets with millions of apps that already implement your idea in some form or fashion that are free or cheap.

The predetermined sells side still has a loophole. Executives generally build their schedule in a relatively aggressive manner and cancel sells as they see fit.

I only know because I drove a CEO for the company I worked for to a meeting and we got to talking about stocks. He explained this loophole to me as his way to effectively trade how he wants with legal protection from insider trading.

From Wikipedia:
"After Rule 10b5-1 was enacted, the SEC staff publicly took the position that canceling a planned trade made under the safe harbor does not constitute insider trading, even if the person was aware of the inside information when canceling the trade. The SEC stated that, despite the fact that 10b5-1(c) requires trades to be irrevocable, there can be no liability for insider trading under Rule 10b-5 without an actual securities transaction, based on the U.S. Supreme Court's holding in Blue Chip Stamps v. Manor Drug Stores, 421 U.S. 723 (1975)." [0]

Why are the only options for installing apps "Strict App Store" and "Open App Store"? That's a false dichotomy. Let apple have its app store but remove the restrictions on installing apps from outside of it. If I want to install an apk directly from a publisher's website I should be able to.
From the summary:

> If your data is strictly sequential; you should use a regular array. If your data is often sequential, or approximately sequential (e.g. an arithmetic sequence stepping by 64), Judy might be the best data structure to use. If you need to keep space to a minimum--you have a huge number of associative arrays, or you're only storing very small values, Judy is probably a good idea. If you need an sorted iterator, go with Judy. Otherwise, a hash table may be just as effective, possibly faster, and much simpler.

I’m not so sure you know what you’re talking about.

4K and >120 FPS are incompatible goals. If you are optimizing for frames in a competitive title the first thing you will do is turn total render target size down to the minimum. Conversely, if you want to render at max quality, those pixels look a lot nicer as resolution than as frames.

If you’re a real pro, you can spend five times as much money to hit 80% of cutting-edge performance on both metrics simultaneously. You hardcore gamer, you.

People who talk like that are usually kids spending their parents’ money.

FYI, genuine demand for higher gaming performance is mostly being driven by VR, where sentences like “8K at 144hz” aren’t just big numbers.
Personally for me spacemacs is bit slower in startup for my liking, so I use my own custom configuration. It's just lisp at the end of the day.

Are you just trying to win an argument? Please look at what they actually do, and then maybe let's have a discussion about that. In any case I'm sure Mike is way more pragmatic than you imply, and couldn't care less about language labels as long as he can do his thing.

Btw for extreme data-oriented programming you might actually be able to afford GC, provided you have value-type compound types like I think C# has. That's because there are only a few allocations around. Not that GC matters in this case - you don't free the global tables anyway except maybe at the end. And bounds checks might be easier to optimize out (?).

From my experience, debugging monoliths is much easier. Microservices a bit hard (mostly networking). Event Driven Architecture with microservices is even harder. My company's brief stint into building one out turned into a disaster of trying to isolate wtf was going on when there was some issue.

> "There is no single development, in either technology or management technique, which by itself promises even one order-of-magnitude improvement within a decade in productivity, in reliability, in simplicity."

I think its important to remember that the statement is rather specific:

"no single development" and "which by itself" -- but there could be many developments, which, together, provide the order-of-magnitude improvement.

"order-of-magnitude improvement" -- but there could be smaller improvements.

"within a decade" -- the improvements may take longer.

I'm pointing this out because incremental improvements can and do occur, there's just no "silver bullet" to fast track the process.

Consider the poor quality of the existing js modes for 26.x, any idea why this depends on a future version of Emacs instead of current versions?

Alternatively, could somebody convince the author of the railwaycat port (Emacs with better macOS integration) to get a version 27 out soon?
Neat project! I wanted to leave some feedback for the author.

If you just want an interface for building up an AST using composition, you can do this without React. You can even continue to use JSX—it's as simple as having a function definition to create AST primitives and have a JSX pragma that calls into it.

What React is excellent at is taking two trees and finding a set of mutations to transform the nodes from the first tree to the second—with utter disregard to how those trees came to be. That's what the renderer provides—the set of operations that can be performed on nodes.

I don't see how the actual React part can be used here. Even the suggested uses are all single-pass operations where this diffing will never come into play.

That said, to me this project (in its current state and with the goals expressed) would be so much simpler and more efficient written as a JSX pragma, without the React part.

Maybe there's more to the React functionality in this project that I'm missing. I don't want to discourage the author from doing something with React for this project—there's many directions you could take this that could make excellent use of React.
It's a bad thing to promote people such as McInnes, who if they had control of the world would prevent such free exchange and presentation of ideas and would kill minorities. It's his show so obviously he's free to do what he wants, but I think one of the most popular podcasts in the world should show restraint when presenting people who are neo-fascists. This normalization isn't helpful and I feel strongly that people such as McInnes should be deplatformed, and he has on places such as Twitter, as studies have shown it to be the best way to stop the propagation of such harmful ideas.

The US was never isolationist unless you ignore the existence of Native American Nations; it was brutally expansionist from day one. From the time of the Monroe Doctrine, US imperialism expanded even further, leaving the US “isolationist” in most of the 19th Century mainly only in regard to what happened outside the Western Hemisphere, and not even always there.
