I wonder if someone has done a study about the differences between mental state or health when you're driving 30 min vs. on the subway for 30 min. In my experience, it's a different kind of interruption somehow. I wouldn't avoid the 30 minutes on the train as much as the 30 min driving, but I'm not sure why.

(In steady state, of course, I expect someone's first 30 minutes on the NYC subway to be a shock if they haven't experienced it already.)

> but developers will no longer need to explicitly worry about data model their application uses. There will be a tighter coupling of programming frameworks and DBMSs such that all database interactions will be transparent (and optimal).

Sorry, but this feels hilariously wrong.

Databases that work performantly are all about making key architectural decisions about which information is indexed and/or denormalized and/or preprocessed, how, and ensuring that queries are written only in forms that take advantage of that design.

It's the difference between queries taking milliseconds or hours on reasonably-sized datasets of, say, 10GB+.

Because it's shockingly easy to write a query that, otherwise, will not only read every row of your database, but be required to read every row once for every row, because that's literally the only way to calculate the result if the right data isn't suitably indexed or preprocessed. (E.g. "find the number of users who have ever ordered the same item (any item) more than once" on a table indexed only by order ID.)

I don't see how that can ever ever be made "transparent", and it certainly doesn't have anything to do with tighter coupling with a programming framework.
> The world has tremendous labor to be done.

Is that so? There's already enough housing for everyone, with more empty houses than homeless people. Hunter-gatherer societies worked half or less as much as we do today, and they didn't have the benefit of industrialization. Production gets more and more efficient, but the workweek never gets shorter. Is this reasonable?

Idleness is the kind of comfortable life Russell lived. The alternative of working your fingers to the bone for your employer is a tragic waste of human potential.
I believe you, obviously. I have historically received drastically different results between, for example, web.dev / Lighthouse and PageSpeed Insights with the latter outputting a very low arbitrary 'rating' or 'score' and the former providing results I would expect. Like a lot of efforts at Google, things seem duplicated. As an outsider, it is a frustrating experience catering to Google's performance ideals because the tools and 'best practice' positions do not seem to be unified in one place.

I think your simple calculation assumes relatively even geographical subscriber distribution, which absolutely is not the case. Just rough estimating, assuming every other figure is approximately correct, you’ll probably have to cut that by 50-75% based on people’s natural tendency to live near other people.

2. An off chain order book. With an off chain order book, you have to hash and verify signatures for every order, which is expensive.

The news is not the albedo effect and its implications. The news is that the researchers determined which of four factors that were thought to contribute to reduced albedo were actually doing so and which were not.

In particular, as noted in the article:

> Within the scientific community, there had been a considerable level of debate over the role of soot blowing up from urban areas to the Arctic. One view was that it played a significant role in the reduction of the albedo effect in the Arctic because the dark soot would absorb more sunlight, thus increasing warming.

The researchers determined that this soot only had a minimal effect.

Of the factors that did affect albedo,

> They found that sea-ice, snow on top of sea-ice and ice on land contributed equally to the region's albedo effect
The point there is that you don’t need a buffer for whole line, you only have to find the line terminators. Something like:

printf(“0: “);
ln = 1;
while ((ch = getch()) != EOF) {
putch(ch);
if (ch == EOL) {
printf(“%d: “, ln);
ln++;
}
}

And I believe that original unix implementation of nl is mostly this, although with the stdio functions replaced with raw read/write.
It's not just about vanity. Warning users that a site "usually loads slow" is a statement of quality. The website might be the best resource on the internet for the type of service or knowledge being provided, but getting that badge immediately sets a bad impression. The person running the site might not have the ability or resources to fix the problem. As an example, Wordpress sites running a slow theme or plugin. There are a lot of small businesses, publications, and hobby sites that simply won't be able to fix these issues.

> I am not sure who these virtues serve in an economy maximizing extraction from the people contributing the work. The working class will always be pushed as much as possible, to the point of breaking, with no benefit to the workers themselves.

I call a bit of baloney on the last quoted sentence. You are significantly overstating your case. (You have one, but you're overstating it.)

Still you have a bit of a point, from the point of view of the workers as a class. From the point of view of an individual worker and his/her family, though, hard work leaves them better off than they would be in the absence of the hard work. That leaves the worker and the family in a better position then they otherwise would be. Hence, "I benefited..."
Nonsense.

Regarding the event: the mere discomfort of some people does not grant unlimited license to disrupt an individual's ability to conduct business and participate in society. As I've said elsewhere, I am not a lawyer but this looks an awful lot like tortuous interference.

Regarding politics: Whether abortion is the murder of a most innocent human life or the expression of women's sacred bodily autonomy runs right to the core of morality, ethics, and human rights (the mother's and the child's). And yet, it is also obviously a political issue. Trying to play word games isn't going to solve the problem that you share a society with people who may profoundly disagree with you.

You could say the same thing about Google and Facebook versus Twitter or Snapchat. Whatever strategies they did find and implement likely worked or were massively improved upon using the historic data the firm had on how to position quotes, what trades weren't liquidity constrained, what were the server response delays between exchanges, etc.

Think about the quality between Google Maps and Apple Maps when Apple maps was first launched. Apple even hired a bunch of ex-Google Maps employees to improve their product, so it likely was using similar algorithms, but with worse data. Apple though had the luxury of gathering every iPhone user's location data though to build up their dataset. In Rentech's case, a competing hedge fund would not only have to build out the team and infrastructure, they would only likely lose a lot of money at first to gather enough data to have a similar edge. There were a lot of HFT firms like Jump, Citadel's unit, Getco that generated very impressive risk-adjusted returns for a while, but I don't believe it was close to Rentech in terms of capital capacity and number of years.
Take a look at Pushbullet.

If performance was the criteria by which they made decisions then they would probably bake ad-blocking directly into chrome, since ads/tracking is one of the leading reasons for poor performance.

What's funny that you think that about me is that I'm an anglophone that absolutely HATED my mandatory French classes in Vancouver high school.

I also remember being a kid being ANGRY at Quebec for daring to want to separate, and thought we should just "kick them out, if they want their own country so badly."

I've come to appreciate Quebec as a unique and meaningfully distinct part of Canada. I do not think it weakens my Canadian identity to have one part of the country have a fiercely proud and unique perspective on feeling equally Quebecois and Canadian at the same time (or some balance of the two). Just because I don't have a similar sense of identity about my province, doesn't mean others can't.

I do think it's a bit unfair that the Federal Government has to treat English and French equally while Quebec itself does not, however I've also learned ago that fair actions and intentions do not always lead to fair outcomes. If Quebec did not fiercely fight to protect it's French-speaking status, it would have died a long time ago and got swallowed up from both sides by the English side of Canada. And that would have been a shame.

Finally, I'm an immigrant. And as such, I am deeply welcoming to other immigrants to Canada. But I also am conscious of the fact that refugees notwithstanding, immigrants have a choice in which part of the country they immigrate to. And given that, I don't think that it's unreasonable to build expectations for them that if they move to Quebec they will need to study and master French if they want to integrate. This should not be any more of a shock or burden than expecting Belgian immigrants to understand that there is a French half and a Flemish/Dutch half, and they are quite different.
Hahaha

Thank you for the laugh, I imagined you typing that last paragraph, reading it, and thinking you had said something pithy and being proud to share that hackneyed screed with the world.

Up until this point I haven't even shared my opinions of Clojure (which I've used) in absolute terms, did you realize this is all in relation to OP's description of "dorky languages", so I was speaking to OP's PoV as someone who probably doesn't use non C-like languages, not myself. Erlang, my pet language is plenty dorky, you seem to have confused "dorky" with "bad" or lacking utility.

But alas, let me just be straight forward, Clojure is bad.

A masturbatory aid for bored developers burning perfectly good time and money for their own overinflated sense of accomplishment and their quirky resumes.

Imagine being a language that literally lists it's half it's rationale as "our customers who won't let us run what we want, so we stuck what we actually wanted to make, on this JVM thing that they all know real well".

Clojure code bases devolve into contrived spaghetti so blindingly fast, but by god will the people writing it get off to how dense the code they're writing is while the decent into madness marches on, and boy will they enjoy how they're really sticking it to those stupid Java guys with no types... while 90% the code they interop with was clearly designed to be used in a typed setting.

And you can count down on a M-F calendar view how many days before the codebase will feature a different DSL for each programmer who's touched it which allows them to define complex business rules as a new sub-language instead of icky "normal" shudder code. Java did only a few things right, and no macros was one, imagine thinking undoing that is the right choice.

Clojure devs love to hold up the few high-profile successes and a bunch of no name success stories that are small enough to probably have served just as well by anything from Clojure to writing out Java bytecode in pico.

The funny thing is the most common successful cases actually went and tacked on a freaking type system! https://typedclojure.org/

Have they heard of F#? And if they're so allergic to types, good god why are you on the JVM and trying to interop with JVM code. If you're not trying to interop with JVM code, why Clojure? Why not Elixir or Erlang, which kick Clojure's ass at the other half of the rationale it always gets, concurrency and immutability.

Actually, don't answer that, we already know. Because JVM contains Java, and Java = business, and you're not going to get to jerk off at work with an unproductive language if it doesn't have something a business type can latch onto! You don't want to admit "we want to use this language with a much smaller hiring pool, much less mindshare, unnecessary barriers to interop with one of the largest ecosystems in tech, which is very prone to creating unmaintainable nightmares in the long term by it's very nature."! You want to express it as "we want to use Java but with parenthesis can we huh can we pls pls k thnx".

Clojure is a garbage language that always gets defended with "you just don't get it". What a joke.

Suite of React Hooks for Adaptive Loading
How does it do source-to-source while maintaining debug-ability? If the result of your partial evaluation is source code that is run then what happens when I set a breakpoint on a line that has been partially evaluated away? Is there some metadata that is produced alongside the source to allow that breakpoint to be applied to the code that has been optimized away and how does that work?

This is why optimisations aren't usually source-to-source - they need to include in the output extra information that isn't normally representable in source code. Another reason is that compiling to a lower-level representation gives you more power - when I partially evaluate I gain extra information such as that an add operator will not overflow, and I want to include that valuable information in my output even if there is no no-overflow add operator in the source language.
