Same. I'm actually building a programming language for non-programmers. Trying to create a language for UI designers, which requires a unique sensitivity to complexity in order to feel inclusive.
Technical debt is a sign of success in the best case. It means you had to rush out changes to satisfy possibly shifting customer demand. Few businesses have the resources to devote to technical debt reduction vs new features or new products.
I'm also curious what you mean by this - do you mean accessibility in the sense of what languages like Elm try to do?

They mention two things in the article - speed and number of lines of code. Are either of them the most important thing in the average business code? Sure devs always like to get things faster just because they can, but in most business settings whether its java, .net, php, etc it really doesn't matter it will be just fine for the speed (considering its probably database calls, etc that are the bottleneck).

I would argue its more about code readability and maintainability than speed. Can I take a java developer and have him/her look at some Go code and know what's going on? For the most part I would say yes.
Removing perfect nouns for the "in Y" part might also help.
> The block can cool with relaxation times measured in nanoseconds.

At what density?

I mean sure if you have a single device in isolation it might be able to cool in a few nanoseconds. What matters is the density at which you can have a checkerboard of these things toggling in opposite directions without neighbors inducing failures.
Otherwise we're simply trading the propagation time of electrons for the propagation time of heat rather than the propagation time of light.

Light may move fast, but heat doesn't.

Edit: also, I'm skeptical about power efficiency if the principle of operation for this thing is fundamentally based on turning free energy into heat. Generally heat is a waste product of the switching event, leaving hope that future generations can continue to reduce that waste. Here, the waste product is what makes it work, meaning that it's probably very inefficient (joules per switching event) and unlikely to improve much. Current mode logic is wicked fast, but never caught on (except for I/O drivers) because fundamentally it works by burning up energy into heat -- it's crazy inefficient and hasn't improved after 20ish years.
I couldn’t agree more. I love Go, but this piece is superficial at best.

One thing I’ll say about Go, and why I love it. I’ve been coding for decades, and it’s one of the few languages where I find it very easy to read and understand other peoples code.
Modern attempts at reform / what led you to your own derivation were the aspect that I wanted to ask about :)

The docker documentation states that by default, containers are connected to a bridged network (https://docs.docker.com/network/). You can disable networking on containers with the option "--network none" (https://docs.docker.com/network/none/).
Even if they are just “warehousing” the credit this would be false, as they need to hold some of those assets on balance sheet while they try to sell them.

This balance sheet is indeed what regulators would require them to hold capital/reserves against.

Further, what’s the documentation that they “just sell them on” end if they do, why wouldn’t their balance sheet shrink??
IntelliJ feels like coding underwater. The only reason I ever use it when I have to or when I get tired of typing page after page of awful verbose Java APIs.
> However, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, in current medical studies performed in controlled environments, no participants have experienced severe anxiety, fear or severe adverse reactions as a side effect. This is more common when psychedelics are used recreationally, in settings where users are more likely to feel unsafe or uncomfortable

Set and setting is so important, although I would prefer not to trip in a cold, calculated environment under supervision by psychiatrists. Maybe an actual shaman would be a better fit.
CS Research : Programming, Physics : Engineering ? I think you can level this criticism, and yeah, you have a point, but I think there has to be constant back and forth between the practitioners and those who develop theory or else both sides seriously lose out.
Pretty much all of the content on that blog is fluff garbage.

"Making the most of your one-on-one with your manager or other leadership", "Communities and Connections will power our growth in 2021", "Static site generation with single page app functionality? That’s what’s coming Next(.js)".
Who knew Apple would adopt Tasker before Google did.
What can make this hard is wearing multiple hats. Your boss might be micromanaging, but not with the boss hat, but a senior engineer hat, or an architect or product owner hat. I have considered introducing a convention where people declare what hat they are wearing first!

Also if the manager is also the expert in the technical area this can have the same effect. This often happens in small companies where the managers have been there about 10 years and wrote all the early systems. They take the role of manager, mentor, architect and code reviewer.

The solution which takes time is to start delegating out a stream of that work to a individual contributor who becomes the expert. This is a win for everyone. Less bottleneck for the team, less micromanaging, new ideas can flow in, and members build up skill and experience. New eyes on code, if they are good eyes can also lead to tech debt being paid off.
Read the article: photons don't interact with each other. Electrons do.

Photons are great for communicating. We still don't know how to use them to do computing without first transferring back into the electrical domain.

Edit: in a certain sense, this work hasn't solved that problem, it' just transfers to the thermal domain instead of to the electrical domain.

Kubernetes is actually a set of interfaces. In this case, they are not using default Kubernetes implementation but a simplified one : k3s so the experience could be different. Or not. But it certainly can't be judge on wpietri experience as is.
Here are benchmarks of the top processors from each competitor:

Single Core:

AMD 5900X - 3643 points (+15% faster)

Intel 10900K - 3178 points

Multicore

AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3995WX - 88673 points (+130% faster)

Intel Xeon Gold 6248R @ 3.00GHz - 38521 points

By the way, 5900X is not only faster than 10900K, but also consumes less power.
Yeah, I did think it was kinda weird (even as an American) that this is presented as a digital driver's license and not just a digital ID.

It's possible that they are afraid the latter will raise more "big brother" type concerns with people in the US, so they're focusing on the DL part of it.

I know people who don't have a DL, and instead have a (nearly identical looking, also obtained from the same government agency that handles DLs) state ID, and it would be silly if this new "mDL" didn't also support their IDs.
> You've confused a critique of your rhetoric for a critique of yourself.

If you call my comment hypocritical, I think you're calling me hypocritical. Apparently you don't think so. That's fine. It could be a cultural difference. Let's not litigate it.

> There's no need to defend a turn of phrase so vigorously. If you'd just led off with, "No, I didn't mean it like that," as you've done here, then I'd have shut up.

I don't think this is a charitable thing to say. If there was no need for me to defend it, there was no need for you to "attack" (criticize) my comment in the first place. If you don't agree, that's fine. Again, let's not litigate it.

> I mean, come on, surely you recognize how "Do you have a citation?" falls into the camp that both of us apparently dislike.

I don't agree. As I already explained, I think it's OK to ask for a citation, in a certain context. I don't think I was doing the thing you're complaining about and which annoys me. If you disagree, that's fine. Let's not litigate it.

I would have liked for you to find a way to continue communicating without continuing to criticize, but it didn't happen. Oh well. Let's call this conversation finished. Take care. On the bitcoin stuff you are bringing up, that looks fine to me. I don't have anything more to say about that.
The nicest thing about Go is that the trade-offs are quite clear from the beginning, i.e. you know what you are sacrificing to seize the pros. The cons are usually excessive verbosity.

I'll add my favorite pros as well:

- the language is very simple and explicit, which makes it easy to understand third party code bases

- the spec moves very slowly (or not at all), which ends up protecting the investment that you make into your software in the long term

I think Jesus is so open for everyone, that he doesn't see those people are atheists or criminals. I'm sure that Jesus even doesn't mind to help the worst people on this earth. However, would those people respond to the help from Jesus? It's at the end, the atheists or criminals turn to decide, if they want to appreciate their family, and say yes to Jesus.

buckwheat honey could be an acquired taste for some. i love it. it's definitely available.

buckwheat is a summer cover crop. that means the (good) beekeepers would allow the bees to keep some for their own food for fall/winter feeding. also...dont know a lot of people who summer cover crop anymore. i guess its definitely niche, but certainly available in the usa.

i cant control where my bees go foraging. so i just label it 'wild flower' honey. in early spring before they swarm, i make sure the brambles are flowering. at that time..even in california..there isnt a whole lot of forage for them when they come out hungry. they also gorge themselves before swarming and so usually there isnt a whole lot early spring honey. its a timing thing. so really..there is no good time window for collecting buckwheat honey. unless we steal it from them and replace it with something else for their feeding.

To some people managing equals micromanaging. They don't want to be told what to do at all. But then can they do it alone? No. And this is the dilemma.

One solution is to hire more competent people and hand them the work. It's like outsourcing but inside. It's insourcing. And outsourcing works too. Place the work outside the business. This eliminates management.

Another solution is to minimize the complexity of what needs to be managed to the point where management is almost redundant. Instead of micromanaging, you create repetitive microwork that cannot be mismanaged. This also eliminates management.

I've witnessed first hand both methods in action and working pretty well.

On the flipside, I've seen many workers that require microapproval. They need appreciation for every task and credit for all of their achievements. They want to be supervised, but instead of managed, praised. They fail to find meaning in their work and are unhappy otherwise.
Very cool story, there are just some magical memories linked to these first digital experiences. Nice to see someone going through such trouble just to revive them.

GNOME suddenly changing things for the worse, breaking muscle memory and making previously easy things difficult or impossible, while tone-deaf developers intone the "it's not broken, your workflow's broken" mantra in the background, has become a regular thing. It's like living in hurricane country and accepting you'll need to replace the windows from time to time.

I really wish they'd stop doing this, though.

Go is simple and fast to use, but not so elegant under the hood, which is part of the cost.

Most people (male and female) hate it when you communicate openly and sincerely with them. The art of white lies and carefully avoiding any issues that might burst their make believe reality distortion field is required to navigate successfully in most social environments. Or you can do what I do: as much as possible, only spend time with people who’s reality distortion field is (almost) not there, and minimise your time spent on anybody else.
To me it's the fact that it's an alright language to build stuff in, but the tooling is hard to beat.

The fact that you can "go <command>" so many things so easily (build, run, test, etc.) beats almost every language out there. It makes starting new projects really easy. Personally, that's one of the main barriers I feel when I'm trying to start anything in other languages.

Consider Java (or Kotlin, for that matter). You need either a Maven POM or a Gradle build file. Gradle makes things a little easier with 'gradle init', but you're still stuck with arcane build files either way. If you have to use Maven and need any plugins... Good luck with that.

I think the general pattern here is that pretty much every language doesn't stand on its own when it comes to starting and working on a project. You need external build and dependency management tools. Go has it all built-in and it's super easy to use. It's beautiful.

Language-wise, I want a language that's as versatile as Kotlin, with the ease of use of Go. Imagine having a bunch of .kt files and just being able to 'kotlin build', 'kotlin run', etc. That'd be gold.

I particularly like the Al Jazeera map, because of the tile per EC vote, but also because of the ability to qiuckly flick across back to results of the previous 3 elections. Would love a version that went further back, to show evolution over time (which could be animated). I dislike the maps focusing on geographical area because they give the impression that the country is overwhelmingly red, when per capita, that's clearly not true. At the end of the day though, it all depends what you're trying to convey.

Never heard of it. Just looked it up. Looks interesting. Thanks.
I'd even go as far as label some of these behaviors as toxic, and not micromanagement. "Every task needs your approval" and "You need to be cc’d on every email" show that you, as a manager, are just a paper pusher who rubberstamps things to justify your massive paycheck.

There are more subtle forms of micromanagement that even well-meaning managers and senior engineers do. The best instance from my experience as both is "leading by example." Even as a tech lead and a manager, I went oncall, I fought fires, and I was just not efficient at delegating.

I later realized my juniors took this message in a different way. I wasn't "leading by example", I wasn't empowering them to take on what they perceived to be "my work" and drive organizational change in a way I couldn't.

I had an interesting chat with John McDermott at the IoT meetup in Auckland last week. He said that honey is one of the most difficult markets for IoT.

What's so hard about it? Connectivity isn't great in NZ - there's no phone signal in the remote places where beehives are common. Artisan beekeepers don't care about analytics to increase their yield; they're just doing it for fun (sometimes after retiring from other careers). Larger companies already have systems in place, or can afford the loss.

It seems like it would be an excellent opportunity: beehives get stolen, or overflow with honey, and the temperature and humidity of the hive have a huge outcome on the resulting product. Swarm Space or LoRaWAN might be able to help with connectivity. But the market is just really hard to get into when the customers don't have an incentive to pay for efficiency.

Australian native bees, apart from not having stingers, are tiny... about the same size as a baby fly. Most importantly, their hive structure is incompatible with normal modern beekeeping hives, hence they honey is taken directly from hives on trees, in the bush.
I recall that attempts are being made to have them work in normal boxes, but understand it's tricky.

Also, Jelly Bush is the common name for the NZ equivalent Manuka bush, both are of the tea tree family.

The absolute core gameplay mechanics of rogue like games historically was a combination of being strategic rather than twitch, resource management, permanent death, risk with randomized rewards, and progression. A game like Slay the Spire fits that mold much more closely than something like dwarf fortress.

Being brutal is just an outgrowth of those basic mechanics. Meaningful risks require meaningful costs. Using an unidentified scroll consumes the scroll. Fighting monsters consumes an unknown amount of resources to receive some benefit. But, if you tone the game down to near safety then without twitch based tests it’s just wandering around freely.

Similarly, if you can memorize the layout or the meaning of a scroll for the next life, then that’s not a risk you’re taking.
This is exactly it - it's just genre bickering. "Roguelike" isn't a thing other than "sorta reminds me of rogue" and maybe ascii art is what reminds you of it - maybe permadeath (or maybe you never really perma-died - who knows) or maybe just obscure controls that had you frustrated.

Rogue has imparted[1] a number of interesting features that add strength to a variety of games - rogue-ish attributes are reflected in these games and that's about the total meaning of what roguelike actually means.
