Even with all the economic struggles, Argentina was ahead many countries in the world regarding bank integrations. For years you can make immediate wire transfers between banks without any extra fee (beyond the taxes imposed by the state). If you want to create a digital wallet you don't need to be a bank, you can register as a payment processor and get virtual bank accounts (CVU) for every user which are compatible with the banking system. MercadoLibre/MercadoPago is one of the top players in this space and use a banking API (https://apibank.bind.com.ar/) behind the scene.
Under that standard it’s true, but it’s also true for virtually any language and is therefore not a good defense of whether or not a language lends itself to unreadable code.
I am not an expert on this stuff, I've just spent slightly more time reading some of the wikis than other people. Take what I say with a grain of salt, other people who are actually building ad blockers or managing blocklists would have more insight.

If you want to swap from a blacklist model to a whitelist model, there are a couple of problems to solve off the top of my head:

- you need a way to refer to content that supports re-hosting. You need a way to convert the Facebook/Twitter link someone shares into the scraped version without you loading the original link. See IPFS, but also see Invidious, Nitter, and the Internet Archive for a lower-tech, more straightforward version of what that might look like.

- you need good enough copyright exemptions that it's OK to re-host or proxy the content somewhere else. This is kind of a gray area, people are rehosting web content without getting sued, but it's not clear to me if that's scalable moving from sites like Youtube to the Internet as a whole. I guess nobody's called to take down Pocket, so maybe the situation there is better than I think.

- You need the web to stay relatively semantic. There are a lot of sites that don't work with Pocket/reader mode. A lot of the sites that do work are because there isn't a highly adversarial relationship between Pocket and site operators.

I'm not sure whether a cat-and-mouse game around content scraping would be better or worse than what we have. I can imagine it would be better in the sense that you'd only need to do it once per page, and then distribute the scraped version. But that's assuming that copyright would allow you to do that.

And I suspect that breaking a scraper is easier than breaking an ad blocker. But maybe someone could prove me wrong there.
It's not even close to dead.
Perl was released in 1987. The languages released in the 90s all stole Perl/Awk's good idea (have an associative array/hash map/dict type as a builtin data type) but had much nicer syntax.
My company got a counterfeit textbook.

On the cover was the book we had ordered, about control theory. The printed pages were a veterinary textbook by a different publisher.
The only real point of comparison between Witcher 3 and Breath of the Wild is that they’re both open world games that reward exploration. Witcher 3 executed that beautifully, but hardly invented it. Breath of the Wild is not only a very different experience, but took a big risk by breaking with the old school Zelda formula. It may not be to your taste, but the Witcher comparison misses the mark.
Luckily they seem to have no concept of timing. Why they think they can get away with something like this when trust of the police and authorities is so low is beyond me.
GitLab Developer Evangelist here

GitLab flow is much closer to trunk based development than git flow is. While no one "flow" works for everyone, I think that we are clearly in agreement that the simpler you can make your workflow, the better. The problem is some companies and organizations can't get all the way to trunk-based development based on their own regulatory needs or the type of software they are producing.

That's why we think GitLab flow is a great way to balance both - in fact in the other linked blog post [1] we mention that GitLab flow should allow for CD from either branches or tags. From the main branch would then basically be the same as trunk based development, yes?

Roundup Maker to Pay $10B to Settle Cancer Suits
I agree that farmers are misunderstood and under-valued by people who are only able to live in stability because of the ability of farms to deliver food to them, but isn't farm complexity able to be documented and analyzed in a similar fashion as other "very complex" fields like law and finance?

It seems like farmers are still beholden to long "if-then" chains and risk analysis (what to plant, where to plant, how to plant, etc. based on predictive yield), just that the underlying mathematics hasn't been as accessibly documented because it's not as profitable.

So "generational knowledge and tradition" are important, but I don't see how that changes the fact that this sort of thing can be written down and analyzed.

(Edit: I should clarify that I am not in favor of "disrupting agriculture" and I also do not think that mathematicians can somehow usurp farmers and plan better farms than the ones that already exist. I'm just wondering what's stopping the logic and practices of the ones that already exist from being documented and reproduced without "lifetimes" passing, as you say.)

> Are there actually people that are still deploying new things in Perl?

My personal experience: at one of my previous jobs we've had the need to find a support ticket system (preferably free) that was flexible enough to handle a few hundred email accounts with different signatures, headers, reply templates, queues, filters, and more for each individual account. At the time the "winner" was OTRS [0] [1], a system in Perl that is super flexible and had a free version (more recently renamed to community edition since it detached a bit from their enterprise version).

It served us well enough that I have deployed it again on my current job when a similar but smaller need arose (both jobs in tourism industry). It's a pretty big and complex thing but does it's job well once configured correctly which does take a bit of work.

> The only times I see it is for legacy stuff, and then only because the script is too much of a hassle to be rewritten.

That can possibly be the case here since it is "old" (changelog lists the first public beta at 2002) but has had pretty much continuous development until this day. Any company trying to develop something like this these days would probably choose something else but I guess they're a Perl shop now.

> Compared to Python for example where you'd literally just pass the array to the method like method(array).

How does one tell Python to pass the contents of said array as distinct parameters to the function, instead of as a lone array parameter?

In Perl, that's the difference between foo(@bar) and foo(\@bar) or foo(1, 2, 3) vs foo([1, 2, 3]).
"Then something happened at Google. I’m not sure what. But they stopped innovating on cloud software."

Google desperately iterates on multiple side-projects to find an additional revenue stream comparable to ads, that's all. Whenever the new toy can't deliver enough it gets nixed, we all know the practice.

I believe they know how vulnerable they are. An unexpected virus may shutter their ads business, this quarter results may be first of a kind in their history. They don't have the iron grip on marketplace on Android as tight as Apple. They know that cloud business will most likely be a Coke vs Pepsi market. I believe their monopoly on browser market feeds the status quo in ads, but what if Edge steals enough market share and comes default with ad blocking? What if the new the new Apple chip shifts desktops and laptops to Apple more and they need to seek permission of a hostile Safari to show ads?

Ads, their main source of income, is not something the end user wants. That's Google's problem.
No premature optimizations from the GC perspective that I am aware of. So far it has not gotten in the way from what I can see. The Go team has made some excellent improvements. The team has been doing work profiling along the way already even in this early phase.
The HIV treatment program, provided by the brazilian government for free to everyone that needs it, has been very succesful and is a model to be followed. Not everything the government does is rotten, just a lot of it.

"Throughout the 1990s, when the annual cost of drugs for AIDS treatment often exceeded US$10,000 per patient, the World Bank and other development agencies discouraged developing countries from implementing treatment programs, favoring “cost-effective” prevention over costly treatment. Brazil challenged this conventional wisdom and, despite World Bank objections, has provided free universal access to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) for all people living with HIV/AIDS since 1996."

While both parties are certainly beholden to big donors, I think the equivalency argument ends there.

When it comes to issues of money in politics (e.g. campaign finance), issues of government transparency (e.g. financial disclosures), or environmental protection, the differences are night and day.

You do have a point about civil liberties though. Both parties have become pretty extreme (on opposite sides of the ideological spectrum) about where to draw the line between acceptable/unacceptable discourse. I fear that the Dems have become too toothless to take on big tech companies due to the vast sums they receive from said companies. Nevertheless, anti-cryptography legislation still seems to be the GOP's play these days. The Dems of the 1990s are hardly equivalent to the Dems of 2020, especially with an ascendant activist wing running more and more of the show.
Perl 6 was released as language spec and on the Rakudo implementation; the rename to Raku was kind of a backformation from the name of the Rakudo implementation, but it was after the first stable release.

My team (I am the director of software at my company) switched to Notion from Google Docs a little more than a year ago and I'm very happy with the change.

Google Docs addresses a slightly different use case than Notion. Notion is one document for a lot of people, owned by the organization. Google Docs are docs owned by many people, often duplicated. Notion is much better for building documentation and for storing institutional knowledge.

We still use Google docs for things that we don't need to share widely and don't need to be referenceable to a large number of people.

Are you aware of how much water it takes to produce the output of the Midwest or Central Valley? We'd be talking about the largest desalination project in human history by orders of magnitude.

As of 2013, Israel had a desalination capacity of 500 million cubic meters per year.

As of 2015, the US used ~450 million (edit: fixed from billion) cubic meters PER DAY for irrigation.

Obviously not exactly a fair comparison for numerous reasons, but it gives a sense of the scale we're talking about here.
You will notice that this article is from an icelandic newspaper.

The electricity in Iceland is almost exclusively 'sustainable' energy (hydro and geothermal) and the Icelandic power system is one of the least carbon intensive in the world. At present it is #2 (https://www.electricitymap.org) in the world behind Norway at 28 gCO2e/kWh. Smelting aluminium in Iceland instead of say, the USA (~ 400 gCO2e/kWh), is already a great way to reduce the carbon intensity of aluminium products.

This article is discussing the CO2 emissions related to some integral processes within the smelter, and it is a big deal. No, it wont save the world, but also no, it is not bullshit. These are the sort of small incermental improvements that we require in ALL industries in order to dent global carbon emissions.

I got EBV at university nearly 20 years ago. It laid me on my back for 3 weeks and I was ill for a month or two. I was delirious for so long that I think I actually flipped over into psychotic at one point! I'm bipolar type 2 and have always struggled with intermittent energy levels. Although it took until I was 38 to get a diagnosis and be put on meds that actually work. If only I had had the courage and self belief at 18yo to tell the doctor that the SSRIs made me high for the first 2 weeks and then made me worse. Sigh. Anyway back to EBV. I think it took me years to get back to 'normal'. And to some small extent I think I have less energy than I used to. But it's nothing life limiting and it's mild enough to be psychogenic.
Nice! This gives me more confidence on my decision to keep my websites text only.

A really great non-profit focused on more sustainable agriculture is The Land Institute. Generally people also don’t also understand that some advancements in agriculture take decades or even centuries.

One example of an advancement from The Land Institute is their focus on domesticating a perennial cousin of Modern wheat. This is no small task given humans have been domesticating modern wheat for thousands or years. Although the cousin still yields relatively less grain, it has significantly deeper roots, is much more resistant to weeds and big in turn requiring less pesticide and can harvested with existing equipment. With time it’s not unreasonable to think it would have comparable yields to modern wheat.

They have a number of projects and been focusing on sustainability since 1976.

I'm not even talking about people with cameras in their homes.

Take a look at the ubiquity of cameras in London for an example. Cameras are everywhere, and you'll be on hundreds if not thousands of them on a typical day walking around London.

As an individual, you only option for not being videotaped is to stay home. All your finger wagging about these people being jerks isn't going to change a thing.

I also really don't get why you're fixated on guns as being the only solution. You could simply make laws against it, and if they don't comply you could fine people/companies, or take away their business licenses. No guns necessary.

I'm no fan of Perl, but you can use $OUTPUT_AUTOFLUSH instead if you "use English;". So this isn't really a Perl language thing; it's a style thing. Other languages can be made to look really bad with poor style. The question then becomes what is culturally accepted, and what is not.

Or, you could sell the business to the person most qualified to run it well instead of installing the boss's kid as the new boss. Nepotism is gross.

Or, you could distribute more ownership in the business over time to the employees that help build your wealth.

But no. If you can't pass the wealth to your kid, then there's literally no reason to do anything other than burn everything down.

X = A+B

A= C+D

B = E+F

Love = X = A+B = C+D+E+F

Obviously the above is contrived and abstracted, but you get my point. If I took a little bit of time, I can schematically map every word to makes up the definition of love, and how they interact. Then I can associate 3D, real world graphical observations to each of those words and then love as a concept holistically (as humans do, we're not just confined to text data, we observe extremely rich 3D visual data, and audio data, and touch data, etc...). There's no reason to believe a massive "correlation machine" can't do the same thing with the right algorithms, enough compute power, and multimodal inputs. Furthermore, we can make the correlation machine even better by specializing parts of the hardware for certain tasks, just like the brain.
Sure, it's got lots of historical baggage, but there are more sensible alternatives to $| - like STDOUT->autoflush(1) - it's not like you have to use the obscure versions of every feature.
PHP was a reimplementation of Perl by someone who didn't understand why Perl did things the way they did and so ended up creating a vastly inferior language. Other than maintaining some legacy projects, I've not touched PHP in over a decade and I'm glad to avoid it. Perl is a tool I still return to for some tasks (one was a bizarre management request for a spreadsheet of all the Java classes in a large project which took fifteen minutes to create a Perl script to generate and ten of that fifteen minutes was looking at documentation for Perl modules I hadn't used in a long time).

It's the logistics chain from the farm to your plate that's the disaster. That's not for lack of trying. But having exposure to farming growing up, there's no good way to get a ripe berry from Washington State to Florida before it spoils without freezing it, genetically engineering it (which is fine, I'm pro GMO, it's just costly) or treating it. Even if you do, handling it will see large losses.

So the trick is, how do you reduce how far something needs to travel from the time it's ready to harvest until it's consumed.
