There is nothing keeping them from not making some constructs not portable to certain platforms. Mostly they try to do this with standard language constructs (of course), but for example the 'dynamic' type is completely javascript specific.

This only goes for Valhala. The other examples seem to be java playing catch-up to Kotlin (Panama for Kotlin native and Loom for co-routines).

> And awful compile times can be a huge hindrance to productivity. I used to do web dev in Scala, but waiting for the sleepy compiler is one of the reasons is switched to Go.

If the compiler catches bugs that would otherwise only be found at run time, then the additional compile time pays for itself many times over in terms of productivity.
That's the supposed maximum cognitive throughput, not the (currently) practical encoding rate.
I think this is exactly what HN is for. You're free to promote your project. It's just a shame that this project, while a technical achievement, puts them solidly on moral low ground.
As a cofounder, yes. As an employee, no. I'm not my boss' comrade, and I'm sure he doesn't see me this way too. He wants money and code, and I have a defined límit of how much effort I'll do to give him these.
I know exactly what you mean, but this is incorrect.

CC is not "closed source". CC makes a license incompatible with the OSI definition of "open source", which is one of the interpretations of the term.

There's a persistent confusion over the difference between OSI's definition and the casual understanding of it. To the laymen, if you can _see_ the source, then it's an _open_ source. And if you can _use_ and _change_ it, then it's a _free_ source.

So when you start claiming that if it's not "OSI's open source", it's "closed source" - it doesn't help matters in the slightest, nor does it help advancing OSI's view of the open source.
I imagine with an app like this that gives visibility into which SaaS services are making good revenue, it would be very tempting for the app developer to exploit that information and select businesses to start replicating. Or hand the info off to an associate if you want to keep up appearances. Very clever if that’s what’s going on here.

> the speed of light

We still have quite a bit of optimizations to make until real-life latencies are limited by the speed of light over such distances.

For any given two points, the shortest distance between them along earth's surface is never going to be longer than half the earth's circumference. Light travels that distance in 67ms:

$ units --verbose 'pi * earthradius / c' milliseconds
pi * earthradius / c = 66.763248 milliseconds

Double that for a full roundtrip time.

In reality, the ping time between myself (in Germany) and the opposite site of the earth (in this case, my company's datacenter in Sydney) is more like 300 ms, i.e. less than 50% of the speed limit imposed by the laws of physics.
Or better from a funding PoV: dual licensed. AGPL by default, with non-FOSS licences available for a price.

That way companies or other projects that won't touch *GPL for whatever reason have an option that allows them to use the code while helping the project.

Of course this could make the code incompatible with other open licence (or the licensing policies of some larger projects) so isn't a perfect solution. I'm not sure a perfect solution exists when the project maintainer(s) need income to be able to justify the time to continue their work and have not found some other form of sponsorship.
yeah, but in this case it's a real problem

I don't understand. In Europe it works like this: There's limited parking space and if someone with a car wants to buy a place, they research the parking situation in the area. If there are not enough private parking lots or a garage, then people keep their cars on the street. There's a risk that it may be a bit of walking involved. Again, if that's not good for you, you buy a place in a sparser area.

I don't understand the veto thing. Can the government of the land of the free veto my decision to sell my apartment to whoever I want with ridiculous reasons like "may want to park outside"?

Ironically, since I interviewed for a Facebook position a year ago, I can't post my website link anymore (hosted on GitHub page - programming/photos, basically) there or on Instagram.

Is it more risky than getting a fake cash from someone? Is it difficult to validate NFC with say...your phone (make sure the NFC signal changes when you bring it close to your phone)?

For 2) I get the part about relaying communication but regardless of that, what makes you think any sort of communication will cause it to output the private key?
As far as high powered NFC, I am not sure that would work to begin with (someone who knows radio explained it to me but I cannot recall) but even if it did how is it different than existing mobile phone NFC payment?

You also gotta keep in mind,this is in-person. If someone defrauds you, they face several risks including law enforcement,legal,phsyical altercation(violence) and more.

Better would be nice but I can live with "as good as cash" or "as good as mobile nfc payment" when it comes to security.

But you might be able to pay rent with it if those not wanting to feed back their work wanted the code enough to negotiate a paid licence under other terms.

That can be messy for projects with many past maintainers where the licence options at the time of individual contributions did not explicitly allow this or arbitrary relicensing, but in this case (single current maintainer, other contributions made under a licence that allows him to do this) it needn't be.

Co-routines aren't the same as Loom, as they require explicitly code and thus might not interop cleanly with the new Loom thread semantics.

Does Kotlin/Native support multi field value classes?

Yes you can get around portability issues with multiple platform Kotlin, as many other guest languages have tried to.

However then one begs the question why use the language at all, when having to write the same stuff multiple times.

I rather have the JVM, .NET take the OS decision away, not see them as yet another OS to deploy on.
Maybe instead of reading On Lisp and Let Over Lambda you should have started with something that explains and encourages the use of CLOS, because that's where Common Lisp really shines.

That's a misconception by people not used to reading subtitles. It's like a logo of the TV channel, after some time your brain just filters it out and it doesn't steal your attention at all. I grew up reading subtitles and I'm absolutely not aware of the text when watching the movies, my brain just picks it up. If it's in one of the languages that I speak I'll both listen to the original and read the subtitles, and it all happens also on auto-pilot without ever really thinking about it. I become aware of that only when the translation doesn't match.
I'd love to have 50 upvotes to give to this particular comment. With Docker being so fashionable, too many applications which have strictly no business being containerized are shoehorned into containers (e.g. Confluence).

My rule of thumb is: as soon as I have to `docker exec` into a running container because something's wrong, this container needs to be stopped and a VM should be used instead.
I think there should be either a dual licensing model, where if a company earns more than X$ they need to pay a license, if you are a student wanting to learn more about how its implement then it's free, or you just have to pay for it.

OSS has killed indie development, for the benefit of large corporations. Thousands of developers out there are putting in their own sweat blood and tears in advancing "humanity" by building great OSS products, only to be taken advantage of. Seal the pipe. Charge money for great work!

Hi,

I love this. I have been wanting something like this for a while. Personally, I desired a coin instead of a bill. 2-3CM thick coin made with material good for radio security and longevity would be neat. A phsyical 'coin'. Any plans for something like that? Any reasoning against it?
I have tried to use Gitmoji and other standards before on a few projects but I have since stopped. The motivation behind it makes a lot of sense but I can count the number of instances where I have used the emojis as a cue to find problematic commits with one hand.

That being said, I never really thought about the point about forcing you to ensure your commit is atomic. I definitely have become better at it but the habit has stuck even after using Gitmoji.

Fleischer isn't harmed by Google using it, in the same sense that Google isn't harmed by him releasing osxfuse 3.10 under a proprietary license instead of BSD.

For the community it's certainly a pity, but I guess if you consider open source projects to be "default dead", not contributing to keeping it alive isn't the same thing as harming a project community.
I feel you there - I moved to Europe from the US (though to a car-dependent place - Ireland, sadly).

What happens is:

* People in houses buy cars

* They park on the street (they have to)

* New houses get built

* Those new houses' residents also park on the street

* The street fills up

* Residents pass a law requiring all new construction to come with off-street parking

The idea is to preserve taxpayer-funded parking welfare at the cost of everyone to help car owners store their vehicles for free. Often you see paid street parking but with free (or virtually free) annual permits for people who live on the street.

It pushes buildings apart, makes less pleasant neighbourhoods, reduces walkability, is more dangerous, etc. but it's what we've got becauase we haven't figured out how to transition from "suburbia" to "dense mixed use" without angering the existing residents, who vote.

I mean, you'd think "well we all get a spot I might as well use it how I please so I'll ride a bike and plant a garden in my street spot" but no, apparently that's not allowed for some reason.

>Typical Java programs will do that all the time.

True, especially considering that parametric polymorphism is done via "everything is a pointer" way (although I've heard something about introducing "value types" in Java in the future).

Also Common Lisp's pairs are heterogeneous, polymorphic by nature, so I doubt there could be any other solution but pointers.

For performant computations you would need unboxed arrays in Java, just as you would use SIMPLE-ARRAY in Common Lisp (which should be implemented efficiently in ABCL as well).
KDEs “Season of KDE 2020” Student Program Is Open for Enrolment
Maybe. What we know factually at this point in time: osxfuse was BSD licensed, Google used it and haven't contributed back. osxfuse is popular project.

If it was GPL licensed, do you think Google would bother to use it? Or would they write their own instead? Would we even know about osxfuse then?

MIT/BSD is amazing on bootstrap phase, when getting code used and building user base is top priority. Monetization always comes later. Using GPL from the start might just turn your first users away and you might never manage to get critical mass of users to be able to monetize product at all.

In this particular case we don't know if there were any other previous attempts at financing it, like have maintainer contacted Google to provide consulting services? Or provide enterprise support to other parties? etc.
67ms each way. My UK-Syd latency is currently 265ms, in theory it could be as low as 112ms if it were in a vacuum. In glass with a refractive index of 1.3-1.5, you’re looking at nearer 150-170ms rtt.

Starlink and similar Leo satellites might even have a lower latency as they use laser via vacuum

> It's possible that in the US they simply spend more money on useless things, or do more screenings with better technology

These are both components to saying that the health care system is more expensive in the US.

> a rich country could spend more money on health care and still have worse average health than poorer countries

Yes. I think that multiple people on this thread would argue that this is the case with the US.

> many health outcomes may also depend on wealth - for example over-consumption leading to obesity, which might affect health more than spending on health care can compensate.

This implies that differences in social services and urban design have an impact on healthcare spending. This is relevant to /u/sykick's statements "the cost of healthcare, housing, food, and transportation should be taken into account." and "I'd rather be poor in Sweden than in the U.S."

that's not how it works, nowadays concrete columns are the thing that supports the weight of the building, the space between the columns is then filled with bricks.

Floors are usually made of thinner concrete, although sometimes a design of concrete mesh is used to save weight with the gaps filled with Styrofoam or light bricks, and then a thin layer of concrete is poured on it to serve as the foundation to the floor tiles.

The concrete floors also serve an important goal of supporting and delivering horizontal forces in the building.

This means that there is no technical limit to the height of bricks buildings, although there might be practical reasons not to use them.

Below is an example of how it looks [0]

In the not so distant past bricks used to carry the load of the building, and indeed that has limitations to how high buildings can be,

A key problem is getting people to pony up. People are all for "the community" and the maintainers doing right by "the community" when that means they (as a member of the community) get the benefit of the code. They are often less vocal about being part of the community then the project maintainers ask for financial assistance, generally assuming that other people will chip in so it'll be OK if they don't.

This isn't just commercial interests: this is private individuals too. Welcome to the idealism of F/OSS rubbing up against less altruistic parts of human nature.

While I'm judging others I'll have to hold my hands up and say that, while I have helped out some projects in the past via both bug-fix contributions and small financial ones, and having opened some of my projects in the dim & distant past, I don't think I can claim to be a net contributor by any wider measure.
