> Your description of optimizing Ruby sounds like it is exactly like optimizing JS.

Yes it's the same problem and it's unique to neither Ruby nor JS - but the problem is just scale.

Ruby has a larger library, so needs more rewritten from the current C into Ruby+builtins. And then that rewrite doesn't maintain Ruby semantics (the C API currently used does not exactly match Ruby semantics) so a rewrite matching semantics is often very hard.

> Maybe the reason why Ruby optimization has problems is nobody has done it the JSC way.

People have been trying the approach you use in Core (for over a decade, starting with Rubinius, now TruffleRuby and others), but I think (based on practical experience working on optimising both languages) that it's just a larger problem in Ruby which is why it hasn't been conquered yet.
Certainly it matters, but I'd expect a library implementation to have more research applied to it than I can do on my own.

I think that the way you’re describing the solution for Ruby tells me that you don’t see the problem the way that I see it. The problem isn’t rewriting things in builtins. The problem is making an IR in which you can reason about the standard library at scale: reason about its speculation opportunities, all of the implied dependencies and effects, it’s GC impacts, etc.

None of the IRs I’ve seen people try for Ruby does that. JSC’s DFG IR does a lot of this. Hence I don’t think folks have really tried the JSC approach for Ruby.

>> Systems that run automatic backups in the background might try to make a backup copy of an SQLite database file while it is in the middle of a transaction. The backup copy then might contain some old and some new content, and thus be corrupt.

> I am surprised by this! Is it really not entirely safe to take a backup while some software is running, has a SQLite database open, and might be writing to it?

I've written backup software: You only know if another process has an open file handle if you write your own driver. (Or integrate with 3rd party drivers, like ELDOS.)

In most cases, writing a driver is overkill, so you have to accept that you might read a file mid-write. In general, the other process should lock the file, but there's no way to force every programmer in the world to write their software to be convenient for you.
That seems pretty straight forward to measure, you just take the temperature of people who exercise regularly (say three times a week) and compare that to people who work physically demanding jobs, and to people who work in office jobs, and don't exercise.

Some privacy advocates want to see a society as you describe, a society in which all tracking itself is totally impossible because no one can/should be trusted ever. While to others privacy (or a right to privacy) is giving people ownership over their data, giving them the final say in what can and can't be used, who is and isn't to be trusted with that data, and the right to be forgotten, etc. In my experience, the people who actually put in the hard work of privacy advocacy are usually the latter, so I'm going to call strawman on your first argument. Though, I admit, if privacy is impossible for average Joe I definitely want the rich and powerful to lack it too... Anyway, your argument makes me realize just how counterproductive the tinfoil hat folks are to the privacy movement. They prove the strawman.

For argument two, I don't believe owning your personal data is economic suicide. Imagine, instead of having ad companies track your every move and perform a bunch of expensive AI guesswork, they finally got smart and served opt-in ads that helped you research stuff in product categories _you_ tell them _you_ actually care about. Perhaps some of these services operate like "personal electronic shopping assistants". They're so good at saving people time researching cool new products people might otherwise never know about, people actually volunteer a little bit of their time in this process. Perhaps such heavily personalized ads makes clickfraud a thing of the past. Perhaps companies stop wasting money advertising diapers to 12 year olds watching minecraft videos on youtube. Perhaps this helps small businesses connect with customers and grow faster... Sounds like a better world to me.

Argument three falls apart when you remove the strawman. Privacy as data ownership doesn't stop you from allowing LEAs to issue amber alerts... Anyway, I'll leave it there since I need to go do other stuff.

I did some work in Smalltalk (working on a mod of Scratch 1.4, which was written in Squeak Smalltalk from the turn of the century). Once you got used to it, it was amazing. The environment is lively, and you can debug into everything.

The tech is great; it is just that the community of people who know it is relatively small. If you wanted to develop an open-source project in it, you may have a harder time finding other developers to help.

On the other hand, if you wanted to make a cross-platform desktop application that doesn't look native (which, given the prevalence of Electron, doesn't seem to matter too much to people), this would be an excellent choice.

I wish I could do more development with Pharo. I also think the web framework Seaside would be fun to work with. http://seaside.st/

A person who is a talented musician but got a generic office job that has early starts and late evenings. They work hard but never really progress past a certain point. After work they're exhausted so they just watch Netflix. At weekends they socialize with their friends and family.

Instead if that person had worked hard to dedicate themselves to becoming a successful musician their hard work would have paid off more.

Unless you’re making a large or complex game, I doubt it will matter. Remember that Minecraft was written in a garbage collected language (although its possible they carefully do object pooling, I’m not sure they did in the early days).

On your second point, some people dynamically recompile C++ too! I guess that code maybe is designed for fast compiling. Many other people use an embedded language like Lua for fast iterations.
Sometimes enriching possibilities is good enough to break out of an investigative minima but other restrictions prevent you from recapitulating that evidence in your line of thinking. That's why parallel construction is helpful.

I don't know, but there is often quality of work comes into question.

Businesses who look to offshore expect it to be cheap, they often find that cheap doesn't mean good. Good offshore may cost a similar amount to good onshore. Offshore may be be unsocial hours for local time.

There's also often a cost of the business decision makers taking a jolly trip to the offshore location to see their offices (no idea why this is needed), if telecommuting doesn't work well enough to trust the remote office, why go there?

That's what has been true until how. But is it still true for the future? Interest rates are low, money is cheap. The rare resources are connections and cleverness.

If you inherit wealth, it's likely that you also got some connections. But life in that rich bubble, does it prepare the heir for the future where change is happening faster than ever before?

It's definitely not appropriate for suggesting that a certain person is in the video. Instead, what it can do is help (or poison) the imagination of a viewer, by inserting what a person matching the few details that are in the image/video would look like with average other details added.

Maybe your person has a darker pixel on the one side of their face you see: might be a mole, a face tattoo, or a five-o'clock shadow, or maybe they've just got a bit of mud on their face from falling in the dark. DNN will 'helpfully' provide that large facial moles and tattoos are less common than facial hair in their database, and most of their models wipe mud off their face before having their picture taken, so it will give your suspect a bit of realistic salt-and-pepper growth. Or maybe it has a bunch of interesting pictures of a guy with some facial hair and face tattoos that it can fit to the video. Suddenly you find you've been burglarized by Post Malone.

It's only useful if you're trying to get an idea of what an average situation looks like because you can't imagine what you're seeing in the noise.

If it is the most requested, then perhaps one of those requesting it should try to do it themselves? HiDPI support sounds like a high effort low reward task (according to this[0] HiDPI monitors practically do not exist in the wild and chances are none of the main developers have one), so unless someone who really wants it puts the effort themselves it may take a long time to appear.

Generally speaking unless there is a big company behind the scenes that pays the developers for an open source project, it doesn't matter how many people ask for something if the developers themselves aren't interested in working on it and your best bet is to do it the old fashioned way (yourself :-P).
