I had assumed the slow-down was a result of resource-drain on two fronts:

1) Major updates of the actual Facebook product - I could see a lot of React resources being pulled into that.

2) Fiber implementation getting bogged down in the reality of implementing a production-ready cooperative multitasking scheme in the browser environment.

I have no evidence for that though - pure assumption.

> I don't understand why is it better to have something wired up by annotations than explicitly writing java code.

The argument is that most of your services will be global-ish singletons, and so the details of which services are used from which other services are ceremony rather than business logic; if you've made a code change that means service A now calls service C instead of service B, you want the diff to be about the actual code change in A rather than the plumbing of where it's getting service C from. Since there are problems with language-level singletons (e.g. testability) you want to use plain objects passed to the constructor, but since 99.9% of the time the FooService is always going to be the FooServiceImpl, you don't want the trouble of explicitly wiring it all up yourself. I don't necessarily think Spring is worth it, but wiring by hand certainly does involve writing a lot of code that's more or less irrelevant to your actual business logic.

> At least tools (including IDE) can look for method calls, annotation strings not so much.

Actually one of the things that makes Spring almost tolerable is that IDEs generally do have integration with it, and so "find references" will work properly even for things that are reflectively instantiated by Spring.

(That only applies as long as your wiring is "static" though. With Spring Boot's conditional bean annotations all that goes out of the window and you have no hope of understanding where anything is coming from or where anything is used).
Oh yes totally agree, certainly there are many guests who have been rejected from appearing on JRE and yet he is being touted as heterodox.
This is an unfair generalization that borders upon racism.
That wouldn't really help. Even if only publicly-funded lawyers could represent criminal defendants (which I don't think anyone actually wants), those with financial means would be able to employ an army of experts, researchers, investigators, etc. to aid in their case, in addition to the biases juries have toward those with means, and political sway the elite hold. And if you somehow prevented that inequality, you'd just drag everyone down to the lowest common denominator, and all the more people would be harmed by unjust prosecution.

Every criminal defendant (at least for felonies or serious misdemeanors) in the US has access to a government-funded lawyer, if they can't afford their own. There are over 15,000 public defenders in the US, who get a fixed salary as you mention. They are often overworked, and have limited time and resources to help the people they defend, but they help countless people every day. I'd like to improve the funding and the number of public defenders available (and of course decrease the number of people on trial for nonsense). I'm glad the system exists. It's helped friends and family, with largely positive outcomes that I don't think would have been any better with an expensive private lawyer. When it comes to more serious crimes, you probably don't want to be in that situation.
>> I have personally seen examples of people completely uplifting their family from poverty by the chance they have gotten via reservation.

I am one of the examples. I am from Tamil Nadu, which has 69% reservation and I benefited from reservation and other social polices of my state. Re-posting below, a part of my comment from an earlier discussion on the same topic, as it is relevant here.

Caste system is deeply rooted in the culture for thousand of years. It will take a very long time and massive efforts to eradicate it. Self-respect movement was one of the early efforts in the right direction and it had found great success in my opinion. I attribute my life progress to the effects of Self-respect movement. I was born in a poor low-caste family, raised by a single mother. I completed a STEM masters degree in India, migrated to the US and now work at one of the FAANG companies. I benefited from the educational and social policies of my state govt. and was able to push myself up despite financial and social disadvantages.

The major turning point in my life was when I was able to secure a seat at the top technical college of the state through single-window counseling which was introduced by the state govt. the year before. Without that system, I would have applied to individual colleges separately (costs lot of money) and had been at the mercy of racially biased selection committees, dominated by the so called upper castes. I neither had the light skin, nor the deep pockets to pay for a "management seat".

I made use of the best resources at the institution presented by the opportunity I wouldn't have got otherwise. It changed my life forever.

> Yeah but "Hello World" in actual java is a main class and a quick write to stdout, like most any other normal (programming, not scripting) language.

Scripting languages are programming languages, and a class with a method is only typical of a narrow class of languages (most of which that aren't Java are specifically designed to closely follow Java); leaving aside those programming languages typically called “scripting” languages, in C++ it is just a function, just like C; D is pretty similar (as are most procedural languages, including those like C++ that also support class-based OOP without being obsessive about it, and also most impure functional languages.)

In Haskell it's just:
main = putStrLn "Hello, World!"
It seems like a little much to claim that the same misinformation and misleading talking points being spread in many other places are "your ideas".
It those were used for admissions, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a huge market for answers (from somewhere in the production chain), stand-in test takers, etc.
In a way, DOS was a perfect platform to learn tinkering with. .COM files were basically pure machine code, and DOS would execute them directly.
My comment refers to people in general, myself included. But I guess it still hits a little too close to home, huh.
I wouldn't be so quick to presume causality when it may just as well be correlation.

In other words, California probably isn't a wealthy state because it is less obese than most other states. It probably less obese than other states because it is wealthy.

Yup. For everything except winform designers. I’ve been exclusively using VS Code for .Net Core 2.1/3.1 for over a year now.
Inept question: would it be possible to outright lie about ones’ caste, or is it easy enough for someone else to figure out? How? I don’t see an ounce of shame in doing so if it levels an unjust playing field.
There's a few specific, actionable suggestions at the very end of the book - particularly a couple of pills he takes.

But regardless, my interest is as much in the general progress that's being made and the speed at which it's accelerating. It left me feeling extremely optimistic about what the next 20-30 years is going to hold in terms of developments in anti-aging science. Unless we blow ourselves up in the near future.
This seems very expected.
> Spin a blank "hello world" project in Android Studio

That’s Android Studio’s default workflow designed around the expectation that it's going to be used for building Android apps in a particular style, and to optimize for what is usually appropriate for that, which is very much not “Hello, world!” optimized.

As much as Java is a needlessly verbose language, the problem you are looking at is an
particular IDE / build system / project type combination issue, not a Java issue.
And the private ones aren't really prestigious like the public funded IITs.

> Works well, doesn't really devalue the prestige of the uni or the students who get in by paying like some of the sibling comments are speculating.

Not sure which part of India you lived in but private engineering schools like Manipal, SRM, Vellore aren't considered prestigious. BITS is the only private one which has good clout but they don't have any management quotas.
I think it’s the same idea as being on a team, a board, a committee, etc, and not in one — on denotes membership.
I am actually interested in doing pure JS pdf processing. All of the web interfaces for PDF processing are server side — which means it’s tough to process large files. The dream is a purely JavaScript solution that never leaves the local computer. I’ve got a few client-side success stories that do fairly significant image generation through the canvas. So far PDF seems reasonably manageable through manipulating the text, but it’s not the best format.

I can’t put my finger on it, but something feels odd to me about these React based or similar static site generators that don’t depend entirely on server side rendering (though that seems to be an option). Perhaps a fraction of a percentage of web users block JavaScript by default. What would their experience be on such sites? Do these non-SSR frameworks handle accessibility well? I’d appreciate it if someone could do a comparison on how these frameworks do compared to the ones that are typically server side rendering only.

I guess it depends on the type of productivity you're after. You could conceptualize software or schedule design through visualization, for example. This has worked really well for me. Or you could pick a learning topic which is amenable to travel, like learning to play poker on your phone or practicing morse code by tapping out signs and license plates onto your legs.

Really though, the details are going to matter here. Usually if you can get more detailed about exactly which details don't work, you'll find better traction faster. Good luck.
The converse of immigration being a cause of social instability is that emigration is a source of social stability for autocratic countries like China.

China would have to put more dissidents into concentration camps and show the real nature of their system if people couldn't escape China by emigration. Same for places like South Korea where economic privilege is reserved for the special few. Emigration is a safety valve and the health of President Xi.
Unclear what you mean the mainstream left ignores or hates Joe Rogan

Does the mainstream “anything” care about JRE ?

He is a successful podcaster, not in the mainstream (and when he gets there he will be accused of selling out anyway)

Should CNN, MSNBC or Fox have him on as a commentator or discuss his views?
As always line breaks and de-nesting a bit would make it more obvious and not quite so terse. However, parsers and DSL usually do look almost like nothing in lispy like languages/ functional style, yet in C it’s a rats nest of for loops and flow control to parse things.
Arctic sea ice hits 2nd smallest summer extent on record
I certainly think there is room and use for discernment in guest selection. My "who decides" is a bit of hyperbole in this case but my point is more that Rogan's podcast has a much wider band of guests across the political / scientific / psuedoscientific spectrum. It lets the listener be 'the decider' much more than most if not all other podcasts and media more generally.
Same. I use Sublime with very few extensions.

I have my own extensions for JS/CSS snippets and my custom color scheme, but that's it.

I've used VSCode and Atom for a couple of years but they feel so bloated once you have multiple projects open at the same time.

It's probably because I'm getting older, but I also find the UI quite annoying and distracting.
I would have been roughly kindergarten age at the time. That kid back then watching a face on tv would have never predicted the world would change in such ways that we'd be here chatting. As ugly as some things have gotten on the internet of late, that still fills me with something like awe, joy, and hope for the future.

I may only be 2/3rds your age, but every time I look back on life I feel the same way. I hope I always feel that way, because I think that means I'm continuing to learn and grow.
My theory is that being king of the foreclosed feels better than being the poorest servant in the metropolis, so it’s still a net gain for these people. Just because status is all relative.

I've tried vim support extensively in VSCode, IntelliJ, and Emacs.
The vim plugin for VSCode is sorely lacking; particularly with macro support. For my use case, it's unusable.
The vim plugin for IntelliJ is slightly better. It's usable, but I still find it lacking.
In my experience, the best (by far), is Evil for Emacs.

Paper, and now computers, are one of the best ways we have learned to augment the human mind.

Is it creepy for someone to (with their brain alone) remember a personal detail like a birthday? If not, it shouldn't be creepy to remember it with an augmented brain.

There is a fuzziness here when your brain is augmented with information that you didn't have original access to, such as a shared calendar with birthdays on it, but I'm not sure how creepy using that information is - it almost certainly comes down to expectations of privacy with respect to that information.
> And if you somehow prevented that inequality, you'd just drag everyone down to the lowest common denominator, and all the more people would be harmed by unjust prosecution.

Saying it would be an unjust prosecution should include something to back it up; the most logical outcome is that if both lawyers are just as skilled the little edge they may have by actually having a innocent defendant -or a gilty prosecuted- would help get better justice overall, I don't think I could even be persuaded otherwise until I can read about a real world nation where such system was tried and failed.
Not generously. It was very much a thing in the 80s and most of the channels of the 80s are still strong although there is the ineluctable transition of all basic cables towards showing nothing but Law and Order reruns.

Python is one of the few languages that I feel I can think in. I measure this by my ability to have “a ha” moments when away from my desk, where my brain has puzzled out how to solve something in idle moments (with at least a rough outline of the code).

I don’t have trouble working things out in other languages, as needed, but rarely find myself having these little bursts of inspiration.

>Court documents that detail the sequence of events say that Ms Parti was asked to clean his new house and office on "multiple occasions" - which breaks local labour regulations, and which she had previously complained about.

I'm curious why it was illegal. Is it illegal to ask a domestic helper to clean your house? Or is it because she was asked to clean 2 houses and an office?
After not finding much of a README (yet), I poked around the source code a few minutes ago. Thanks for my actually confirming my initial "...he can't be doing it that way, surely..." :)

This is nice. It reminds me of the IPL sequence of some mainframe OS I sadly can't remember right now (might be System/i?) where the bootloader that launched the kernel was a first-class OS process that went from running the entire system to being promoted to an OS task as the kernel started up. Except in this case you're promoting the entire
OS to a kernel task, while the promoted OS continues to run :D

I wonder if you could extend this to turn Linux into a replacement for HIMEM.SYS, to "properly" support the fact that HIMEM has to be disabled. :D

(Immediately after reading that I thought "wait; the two OSes are running independently, of course that won't work..." but then I realized, no, HIMEM works by trapping interrupts... so this is not only possible, but vm86 of course works by handing you interrupts to deal with.)

The extremely-confusing-but-still-positive benefit of this would be to allow you to elevate DOS to have demand-paged virtual memory, complete with swapfile.

It might be interesting to identify the oldest kernel version(s) you're prepared to put up with, to realize the smallest _in-memory_ kernel size possible, and _possibly_ enable running multi-MB applications on real systems with only 640KB of RAM (with the proviso that using an SSD via a SATA-IDE adapter would give the best results - and the rationale that both of those items will soon be cheaper than old DIMMs). The issue suggesting 2.4 is maybe a bit of a stretch, but the early 2.6 trees might be interesting.
In this case there will possibly be a new market for paying to be admitted through the merit path.

Care to elaborate why "it's not actually a meritocracy" is a stupid argument?

IMO every metric we define will be gamed by bad actors so "meritocracy" will only be used to provide legitimacy to said bad actors. It's quite telling that "aristocracy" (the government of the best) which was supposed to be just like "meritocracy", became to mean just the opposite, meaning nepotism and idiotic inbred leaders.
Well, I think you're right about performance being a problem, but I have 64 GiB and a 4790k and an NVMe SSD. It's like half a percentage of my pre-tax income and was even less when I bought it.

I don't need efficiency. I need something that, given fuel, gives me power. And as someone who has donated to vim, was an early backer of neovim's bountysource, and loves his terminal: vim is my ion drive, IntelliJ and friends are my conventional rocket.
I can't agree on Notepad++. It is my go-to for opening very large log files and I've never noticed scrolling issues. I love VS Code but I've found notepad++ to be the better solution for 'read-only' situations (opening very large files, searching files / directories).

> Tesla just made ICE car obsolete.

No, it didn't. It announced it is confident that in the near future it will be able to deliver the same thing it's said it would deliver in the nearish future a decade ago, which is an entry level electric car at a little under double the MSRP of the cheapest major manufacturer ICE cars in the US, and which will still be in many respects (especially range) far more limited than even the cheapest ICE cars.

They didn't make ICE cars obsolete. They didn't even announce something that, if/when delivered as predicted, will make ICE cars obsolete.
