Don't worry, this is normal for HN. As a commenter higher up said, "People without experience come around and think they can replace an old tool with a better one". People tend to like thinking along the lines of "surely old things must be bad" and you'll get met with disagree-downvotes anytime you try to explain why you want old software in fields like crypto or internet routing. Try defending BGP in any of the DDOS or hijack threads and you'll be met with the same fate.
It's not. One of my friends has a name somewhat similar to a person formerly suspected of terrorist activities. His first and last name are both different from the actual suspect, but his email is kinda sorta close. He gets detained and questioned for hours every time he flys.

This is kind of a follow on to the problem of "if all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail"; to over stretch the analogy, this article is like asking "now that we have power drills and sawzalls, why do people still use hammers".

Because some problems still nails?
"The hate is mostly a cultural misunderstanding."

It's not even that -> there is not 'hate' but among a fairly small group.

There is no general movement among the rank and file devs against OOP, nor among leaders.

It's really just a specific group.

More to you point - all incumbent systems have 'arbitrary antagonist'. It doesn't matter who is in charge, who is #1, who is the best, there will always be vocal critics.
Every programming paradigm falls apart on high complexity large projects. So OOP isn't necessarily any worse in that regard. As an industry we still haven't figured out a consistent set of best practices for such projects.
You can create a simple python http server to expose files in a directory to the local web:

$ python -m http.server 8000

and then you can start ngrok to expose the file

$ ngrok http 8000

that will give you an URL to share with whoever wants it.

People don’t generally take category theory because they don’t really understand how proofs work or how to read definitions. The maturity required is about being able to cope with proving things and following proofs based on definitions which will probably seem somewhat bizarre at first and unmotivated at first. The immaturity you seem to talk about is people taking category theory because they don’t know category theory but that’s different and not what is meant by mathematical maturity.

That said, a background in mathematics helps with category theory. Things like group theory, topology (particularly algebraic topology), Galois theory and set theory can be useful in motivating a lot of category theory. I’m yet to see much of a strong motivation from programming (where is there a functor that isn’t an endofunctor?)
>Following orders or implementing a law that violates citizens right should come with criminal consequence.

But we don't live in a world where things work like you think they should work. In this world, there was no crime, and a court opinion of some aspects of one kind of law does not lead to criminal indictment. That is a better world then the imaginary world that lives in your head.

You do realize government is run by humans in a messy world, trying to figure things and and deal with all kinds life-and-death stuff - like terrorism (which is the context for that law in the first place). Let's set aside 9/11 and terrorism and look at government policy around this pandemic. This pandemic has led to unprecedented government abrogation of civil and citizen rights. It is unprecedented that government would forcibly lock-down huge swaths of the economy for dubious reasons, and destroying countless lives - as well as control what HEALTHY people do with their bodies. Do you know why nobody gives a shit? Because nobody gives a shit about what lawyers on a court have to say when people are fearful for their lives. We see this during wartime (and civil war was a great example), and other extraordinary situations. The only power the constitution has, is the power that is imbued into int by the populations willingly submitting to it and willingly raising it up as a model.

When life-or-death situations arise, the constitution takes a back-seat.
Thanks!

I've read most of this collection of Greek Lyric fragments:

I highly recommend reading Howard Zinn's "People's History of the United States". I assure you that things like this -- and things much much worse -- have been going on in the US since before the US was the US, without much of a break through present times. I dare say that things are actually better now than they used to be[0].

The stuff Americans learn about in primary school about US history, respect for the constitution, blind justice, etc. is a very very "polished" version of what actually happened. It's a shame to hear that even people from outside the US get this whitewashed history.

[0] As a simple example, it was common until the early 20th century for police and state militias to be brought in to break up what are now legally-protected workers' strikes, often with fatal results for workers, where no one was held accountable for those deaths. Police were a tool of the elite, land- and business-owning classes. And to some extent they still are.

Umm, no? Indices are ordinals[0], forming the canonical/nominal well-ordering of a collection such as a array.

My impression is that every new translation of one of the canonical works produces a similar reaction. Emily Wilson is just the latest that everyone is fawning over. I guess the value is in making the old thing new again.

(Personally, I find that I always seem to have a special place in my heart for my first translation of something -- for me, nobody beats Richmond Lattimore. But I'm more nostalgic than most.)

That's because the whole internet idea of "a theory is a well-tested hypothesis" is silly and wrong. A hypothesis is a specific supposition or question about the way things work which if true has some level of explanatory power in a field of study. It can be confirmed or unconfirmed. It's still a hypothesis. An answered question is still a question.

A theory is a explanatory framework for a body of knowledge. Unlike a hypothesis, it's not inherently a question or a guess. That doesn't mean it's "true." It also can be unconfirmed (as you say, string theory) or even demonstrably false (phlogiston theory, Ptolemaic theory) and still be a theory.

Obviously there's considerable overlap between the two concepts and as you say they are sometimes used almost interchangeably. Colloquially, "I'm testing my hypothesis that orally ingesting booze provides protection against infection, which if confirmed will be a key part of a theory of booze immunology" gets collapsed into "I'm testing my theory of booze immunology." Big deal. It really only matters because people let themselves get bent out of shape about the whole "evolution is just a theory" thing.

And since I'm ranting already, evolution isn't "just a theory" because evolution itself isn't a "theory," evolution is the natural phenomenon that is being theorized about.

Except this isn’t really true in the common sense meaning (schoolchildren do arithmetic fine without knowing about category theory) or in the formal sense you’re trying to get at (there are formal axiomatic foundations which arithmetic can be based on which do not need category theory. A simple proof is by causality: arithmetic was successfully formalised before category theory was invented)
Almost all BT clients can create torrents. You can use a public tracker if you want, or you can use a magnet link (DHT magic will find the peer eventually), or worst-case scenario you can manually add the peer IP on either end.
But a power drill is a single tool, OOP is more like a collection of techniques. I prefer Pike's analogy that OOP is like woodworking. Sure, it is a self-consistent body of knowledge, and there are very beautiful things that you can make using wood. But that does not mean that everything that can be build in wood sould, nor that basic tenets of woodworking (e.g., the "direction of the grain") make any sense at all when you are using different materials.
Honest question, how does one get past the idea of reading this (to say that one did so and because one respects people who have done so and the authors themselves) and the actual act of doing so, which can take several hours and become on occasion dare I say it boring?

>Alexey wasn't a popular politic figure in past time, I believe that his peak of popularity was in 2013-2015.

He was banned from being a politician. Banned from media with any kind of reach, banned from elections. And we don't know how popular or not he actually is -- in a country like Russia accuracy of polling, any kind of statistics that is threatening to the dictator is one of the first victims.

>Third, I think no one here is actually benefiting from this tragic event...

A ridiculous statement. It's a signal to those who oppose Putin. In the light of what is happening in Belarus the signal is pretty clear -- Putin won't tolerate any real opposition, and he will not allow the situation to deteriorate to the level where he's actually threatened. "If you are willing to oppose Putin we will poison you with invisible deadly substances, and state doctors whose careers completely depend on their superiors won't treat you" is what it conveys. The goal is to have a chilling effect on the opposition's activities.

>simple approaches

Simple approaches are not as good for conveying a message. Using Chechens from Kadyrov's personal guard(in case of Nemtsov), expensive and hard to obtain isotope(in case of Litvinenko), or chemical warfare agents (in cases of Kara-Murza, Verzilov, Navalny, Skripal) indicates that's it's a state poisoning/killing, something only the state can do. It asks those who are not yet poisoned a question "Are you willing to fight the state/regime who's willing to kill you, make you disabled?

It's rather surprising that the regime doesn't yet target family members. Although I'm not completely up to date on the subject. Maybe it already does.

> Anecdote: a family member and software dev just bought the latest macbook pro coming from about an 8 year old macbook pro. Apparently he doesn't perceive much real world performance difference between the 2 machines. He said single core synthetic benchmarks were higher, but not by much.

I'm in a not dissimilar position with my (older) personal laptop and my (newish) work laptop. Two things I notice:

* Battery life. My work laptop lasts longer on battery because it uses less power to do the same amount of work. Not really a problem 99% of the time when I'm plugged into an outlet.
* Compile times. Work laptop is much faster at compiling, but this is really only noticeable on cold-builds. Incremental builds are fast enough in both cases.

That capability exists even on smaller power supplier, for example the Corsair RM-650 has it; powering the fan is done based on temperature (and that depends a lot on the load), not on the power supply max rating. This means you need to just add your max CPU consumption (not TDP, that is lower), GPU max consumption, the rest of the components and add a 200W reserve, not a 500W reserve.

PSU efficiency is low at the ends of the curve, underutilized (<20%) the efficiency can drop as low as 70%. The top (not peak) efficiency is somewhere in the 30-80% load zone, that is where you want to be.

My guess is that it is slighly better than the other prevailing paradigm: DB oriented programming.

In DB oriented programming, instead of god objects that store global state for everything under the sun, there is a god database that stores global state for everything under the sun.

Historically, software engineering has been a cat and mouse game of referencing global state, finding some clever way of hiding it, and then finding an even more clever way of referencing it again.

> Colan R said: So technically, through representative democracy, the regular people did agree to the constitution because their representatives agreed on it.

It actually is. This country is not a direct democracy. You are trying to reinterpret the structure of this Republic. The people through their votes uphold the structure every time they vote. It's a collective decision (social contract) to have our vote to have representation and we 'trust' (for lack of a better term) said Rep. to perpetuate the ability of governing.

I have used Hightail for years, from when it was called YouSendIt. Here is info from their website on plans and pricing

https://www.hightail.com/file-sharing

Hightail offers four different subscription levels for file sharing, with varying restrictions on file upload limits and storage. With our free Lite plan, you can upload files up to 100MB each, and have a storage limit of 2GB. Pro plans, which start at $15/month, allow you to upload individual files up to 25GB each. Teams plans, which start at $30/user/month, allow you to upload individual files up to 50GB each. Business plans, which start at $45/user/month, allow you to upload individual files up to 500GB each. Pro, Teams and Business plans come with unlimited storage.
This looks amazing. Haven't tried it out so far, but it does look promising. Most of my peers use Windows though :/
I like 432 Park Ave! It looks very cool, in my opinion, like a rendering error. The 50 new skyscrapers does directly falsify my idea, though. Let me quickly edit so I don't get taken for a ride on the bet.

That is not a universe anyone should have to live in. If you miss out on an extra baked good because you're not buddies with the baker, it's no big deal. If a cop treats you more harshly because you're not a friend of the police, that is a big deal.

Signal integrity. High speed signals degrade with even slightest mismatch in trace length or stubs. For high-speed signals you use a chip which is essentially an electrical repeater to redirect the output to port A or B.

Private insurers do have a profit motive, but with the right regulations, that can help, rather than the US system where it encourages more spending. There are plenty of countries with universal coverage that rely on private insurers - the difference is the system is set up to control costs while providing a pretty standard set of benefits and cost-sharing.

So one reason why Medicare Part D works pretty well is because the private insurers do the negotiating on drug prices. I've read reports that they actually get better prices than for their private plans (there is a ton of competition for Medicare prescriptions).

Are the prices lower than Canada? No, not generally. But they are some of the lowest prices in the US (excluding Medicaid which has a mandatory discount).
Google Drive seems a lot more practical than pretty much every other answer in this thread.
I agree with you, but trying to map your problems onto tree-based OOP inheritance is absurd.

Trait-based programming solves polymorphism much more elegantly as any type can adopt a behavior. These systems are going to replace the old paradigm.

> You're completely ignoring the other valuable aspects of being in a cloud: you're close to huge amounts of high throughput storage (blob and DB), and can increase/decrease the size of your fleet trivially. These are critical to nearly all modern scientific workflows (moreso than the raw compute, IMHO).

That has not been my experience. There are lots of scientific workflows that only need 10s of TB at most, yet can still consume lots of cycles.

> As for the cost structure for research computing, the argument that the costs are externalized isn't a good one- that overhead that pays for the facility, and the networking, comes out of your grant money, and using grad student time to admin your cluster often just causes your grad students to leave for FAAMG.

At the universities I've worked at, equipment (large purchases) is except from overhead, or results in a lower overhead charge. (Researchers balk at paying a ~50% overhead rate on a $1million instrument). Using grad student time to admin your cluster is dumb, but I'm more talking about users who need single-digit numbers of computers. If you need real HPC, you're in the world of queues, national and regional supercomputers, etc. etc.
