My suspicion is that these correspond with changes in how these languages are used. I believe (but can’t prove) that Java has been shifting more from a batch processing language to a web services language. In the former throughput is king, in the latter latency is more important.

Also, the cost of memory keeps dropping, especially with auto scaling cloud services, which makes optimizing for memory footprint an increasingly bad idea.

"Sunset clauses aren't reliable mechanisms (patriot act)."

I don't know how often sunset clauses are used in (US) federal legislation, but I do recall that the original "Assault Weapons Ban" of 1994[1] had, and eventually utilized, a sunset clause. The law did, in fact, expire in its entirety in 2004.

Often overlooked in commentary on anti-vaxxers, and by the anti-vaxxers themselves, is this:

Freeloading

The anti-vaxxers are freeloading on the herd immunity created and maintained by the smart people.

That herd immunity prevents the regular epidemics & pandemics common before vaccines, when families often had 10 children to see a few survive to adulthood.

There is plenty deliberate ignorance of history, Dunning-Kruger Syndrome, and confirmation bias in their 'arguments', but the root seems to be a (likely) unconscious willingness to freeload on the benefits provided by others.

This is unfortunately coupled with a deliberate ignorance of and/or willingness to deliberately endanger the small subset of people with bona-fide medical conditions that contraindicate vaccination, and so genuinely rely on the herd immunity to survive.

It is far past time to coddle this deliberate ignorance and freeloading. If anti-vaxxers want to stay that way, fine, but they need to choose and not be permitted poison the well - vaccination needs to be required for alk access to public buildings, schools, transport, etc.

I genuinely get so much enjoyment over tinkering around with my tools, apps, shell, you name it. When everything is tweaked to look nice to me, work nicely, scripts automating things and when everything just clicks.. it's amazing.

I used to re-arrange my bedroom every few months when I was a kid, I feel like I do the equivalent with my dev machine. Look at tweaking themes, switching out plugins/tools, updating things, change things around a little bit and I always love it afterwards.

I also play Animal Crossing and I find it an interesting comparison. I'm playing with my GF and we made a plan of how we want the island to look and the timeline is 3-4 weeks with everything (because of how artificially they slow down a lot of things). Each individual thing sounds tedious and boring (dig up that whole hill, place all the paths, etc. etc.) but it feels good in the end for some reason. It turns into what we imagined, what we wanted it to look like and work, the same way I guess my dev setup right now.

I've spent so much time just tinkering and it gives me great joy!

Is your car designed to be used with the pedal to the floor at all times?

I don't understand why this would be a design assumption, especially for a portable device.

This isn't even an assumption for running applications on servers, especially the kind that serve up things like web requests. If you have pegged the CPU, your application will already be unstable.

Sure, the server can handle being pegged 24/7 from a power and cooling perspective, but in practical use no sysadmin will allow that to happen for very long.
Have you worked much with mid-00's era table layouts?

There was a book written in the late 90s, which presented a method that allowed people to take a document generated in a graphics program like MM Fireworks (IIRC) and then use table rows/columns to cut up that image and create layout with more varieties of graphical elements (like using a "corner" GIF to create a rounded box).

That markup, while very useful for creating "neat" looks, was incredibly difficult to modify once it was built.

But, specifically, that's what people are railing against when they "freak out" about tables as a layout tool... not using tables for tabular data (which is, of course, just fine unless you need to reflow stuff based on screen width).
Ah, well perhaps a better name would help then.

You are correct, my comment should have read 'theory' rather than prediction. Alas it is too late for me to edit it, so it will be forever wrong.
Trusting authority in some cases and not others is not cognitive dissonance.

Cognitive dissonance comes from encountering something that goes against your confirmation bias, and runs the risk of knee jerk reactions.

Example of knee jerk reaction: the GP's example of the article (and possibly you) conflating a doctor who says "maybe we should slow down" with anti-vaxxers.

There's a lot of GDPR consultants milking your company's cash for this.

Also probably a lot of articles on privacy law across the world, available free. For sales tax/VAT around the world, for example, avalara.com has comprehensive information and monthly newsletters for free.

Generally, you can't go wrong by just doing the right thing. GDPR is nothing excessive. Businesses that weren't being awful before GDPR are probably in the clear after GDPR too; they just need to update their privacy policies.

Not to mention: if you can't afford a consultant, you probably aren't large enough to be targeted by the regulators on tiny bits either. If you're acting in good faith, at least the European regulators will cut you a break and just tell you what to improve, without penalty, if you're ever flagged.

As long as you have collected data on outcomes that contains more than 100 defaults, with covariates that would allow an informed expert to distinguish between higher and lower risk transactions, it's often possible to be more accurate than an informed expert on this problem.
Honestly, this sounds bizarre to me. The idea that everyone likes the same things in a shell makes no sense to me.

+1 to this.

Code has been written tens of thousands of times to take data from a webform, put it in a database, and display it on a webpage.

It's about time someone could just put that in a standard, simple, easy to use, yet extensive, library or service.

Simple things like defining a field on the frontend, in the server API, in the data model, and again in the database schema should be a thing of the past.
One fair point "Floyd said, “are talking about washing your hands, but why aren’t they talking about things you can do to boost your immune system like vitamin D?"

Given that in some countries in the northern hemisphere we are seeing a disproportionate number of ethnic minorities deaths from this, the aspect that vitamin D or lack of, does seem to be a factor and certainly one in which such advice would do more good than any harm I can think of beyond stock pilers effect. Though lack of vitamin D is not something that is the prevail of any pigment, just more likely and given the data, I'm supprised that such advice is not more vocalised. Though for many it will be basic health knowledge akin to basic first aid, that many is not all.

It's actually hard to avoid Turing completeness, and once you have that, any recursively enumerable function is calculable. All you need is addition and multiplication on numbers.

> As for performant, as of at least ten years ago it became impossible for a person to perceive a performance increase by removing exception handling.

You are really hung up on the exception handling. I never claimed that the error handling made Go more performant. I wrote "performant" as in "there are other things that are important that should be taken into consideration aside from use of exceptions". It might not be as apparent to others now as you edited your original response that was along the lines of "not using exceptions is the worst software decision of all time." (note I don't recall the exact thing you wrote, but that feels close).

As for the new edit you have:

> litered everywhere with if err != nil... garbage

I just grepped one of my Go code bases. It is 40,636 lines of code. It has 326 "if err !=" lines. Less than 1% of the lines are for error handling preamble, and we take our error handling very serious. In fact, a lot of those error checks don't directly bubble up. They perform fallback logic, logging and/or metrics, or set sane default values. Sure, some bubble up, but it is less than half as grep suggests 134 bubble up.

What I value about local error checking is that everything you need is right in front of you as a reader of the code. When I worked in Twisted Python, one particularly bad case of exception handling made it so I literally could not use ErrBacks in one part of the code because in some other module someone used an exception for a non-exceptional error.
Taxes are not totalitarian, which was the implication.
A number of years ago, I was conducting an interview for a front end developer position. I started with a mostly algorithmic question hoping to gauge the candidate's comfortability with javascript. It was something like “use a for loop and manipulate an array”. They froze up and asked: “can I use jQuery?”. At that point jQuery was at peak ubiquity. Here we had someone reaching for it when the DOM wasn’t even on the table.

I think we’re at that point with React today. It’s become the de-facto way to make a web page, oftentimes for the better. People use it on their complex sites so even for a simple landing page, it’s often the most comfortable tool to work with, despite the fact that it’s adding unnecessary complexity. Fortunately for the user, most of that complexity can be absorbed at build time using server side rendering (the client doesn’t even need to have react if the site is truly static).

It doesn’t matter that you have now moved your HTML into a transpiled javascript syntax that spits out a chain of javascript function calls which generates a javascript object that is then fed into a javascript library that builds an internalized DOM representation and, finally, translates _that_ into an HTML string (which, btw, is happening on a javascript powered server). The browser sees the same HTML + CSS that it might have seen if you had just served them a hand written HTML file over Apache.

For some devs, KISS might actually yield an incredibly complex blob of javascript ecosystem goodies, that is at the same time simpler to setup and get started with than remembering how to structure an HTML file ;)

Ask HN: I'm building budgeting app. What features would you look for?
I started budgeting years ago and I was never able to find an app (or even webapp) capable of doing so for me. Perhaps I didn't search enough.. budgeting apps that come to see this thread in the future, please don't judge me :)

Some of them integrate with your bank account, credit card and I'm not really interested in this sort of stuff. I don't want 3rd party apps having access to whatever my bank produces, not to mention that are hundreds of banks out there and I'd assume that making those integrations are in fact a big deal and possibly dangerous (for a security point of view).

In my specific case, it all started with a local spreadsheet on my laptop, that later became a google forms (I wanted to save new transactions "on the go" and also share it with my wife) and now I'm going to build yet another budgeting app for my needs. Nothing fancy, but just something helpful and makes me proud of.

If you are using a budgeting app already, what's missing?

If you wish to use one, what sort of features would you look for?
I always hear this back from people, but it's a failure in understanding what's being said. You can't conceive of any future "knowledge" or state of being or most broadly, "configuration of reality" which could retroactively justify or "make right" proven and real human suffering already suffered. That is just not possible to you.

That is what you're saying. It's isomorphic to your argument; it is your argument's essence.

Expressed that way, the issue becomes apparent. We cannot conceive of something; it is inconceivable. But that inconceivability is exactly what the original argument is asserting - it's a thing beyond human conceptualization. Exactly.

All parties to the argument find agreement on this point.

>do mathematical objects exist?

Yes, they do, in an abstract sense. Existence in math means a very different thing from existence in physics. There are mathematical objects that exist, and those that cannot and do not exist. Someone posted a SEP entry earlier, which is a good start on this topic.

>the main difference between concerning ourselves with whether or not mathematical objects exists vs music

There is no 'vs', because there is no difference. Music is math, any song or sound is a mathematical object. A physical waveform that you hear can be encoded digitally in numbers: ones and zeros. So any given wav/flac file is just a bunch of numbers that give rise to the qualitative experience of sound, when interpreted in a certain way.
For example, a digital waveform consists of samples, each sample takes 16 bits to encode. Sampling rate of 44.1kHz is 44,100 samples per second. So you have 16 bits per sample x 44100 samples per second per channel x 2 channels x 300 seconds = 2^423,360,000 possible permutations of a 5-minute audio file without compression, which is a number with over 127 million digits. A little percentage of these permutations would count as music (even if your tastes are really diversified), most of it would just be noise. But all these possible 5-minute audio files include not only every song and every performance that existed or will exist. They also include every possible sound recording: songs that will not be written, Paul Graham saying that he hates HN, Paul Graham saying that he loves me and the rest of the file is silence, you and me discussing this topic with Plato for 5 minutes, etc, etc. The data exists and can be discovered and listened to, even though some of these examples are obviously not physically possible (i.e. Plato is dead).

So all music already exists mathematically, and it can be a useful mindset that your job is to discover it. A lot of musicians see it that way, Tessa Violet, for example:

Out of interest what did you try and find most acceptable?
Yikes, they included grievance studies in their data set. I'd like to see these results only for science Ph. Ds. I'm sure women / minority Ph. Ds seem super innovative when you have so many fields dedicated to validating their identity-focused perspectives.
Well, the whole field of software development is geared towards solving that problem, isn't it?

You can have something highly customizable (e.g. write a web application in some common language), or you can try to create some out-of-the-box solution that works great for certain apps but quickly becomes a mess when you try to go beyond it.

The core problem is there's a lot of complexity that's not always obvious and it has to be dealt with somehow.
