You know what is bad for GDPs? A goddamned pandemic. It was clear from the start that it is a false choice and even going full delusional moron and having no restrictions would still result in a GDP crash and more so long term. Nobody wants to tour the plaguelands but the narcissistic norm-worshippers are obsessed with sunk cost justifying the worst possible decisions.
I remember in the magazine section of Tower Records there was a section of paper magazines that came with a CD-ROM. You were mostly paying for the CD-ROM, but the paper magazine helped give you an idea of what was inside before you bought it.

I remember trying to play the content on the CD-ROMs was quite challenging. Different videos needed different video players to be installed. Or the latest version of a particular video player. Some of them needed more memory than my PC had. You had to have a relatively high end PC to play all the content, and I always had a low end PC.

But there was no other way to get that kind of content onto my PC. Download speeds were horrible. Connections were unreliable. Some of the download methods used required me to start over at the beginning when the download failed in the middle after 15 minutes. It was challenging.

Did I mention I had to walk to Tower Records in the snow, uphill both ways?
that falls under the "platform specific library", which I guess I should have clarified, does include things in the standard library.

As another F# enthusiast, I share the sentiment, but practically speaking I don't think F# would have been in any position to be the Python of today. It might have had a greater chance if .Net Core existed 15 years ago, but being tied to Windows was a big show-stopper regardless.

That's fair, I guess.
I can see that. When I interview, I often compare the difficulty of the questions that different companies. I have noticed that I feel a little more respect to the companies that ask the more challenging technical questions (not puzzles) vs. the ones that ask the super basic ones. It does make me think that the ones asking the simpler questions are likely getting lower quality candidates and that I would be joining them.
> Yes and no. I would argue that small projects are a misalignment of resources for FAANG companies. For example, niche music streaming services are better left to smaller startups who can easily solve those problems.

That's a catch-22. You have to be pretty big to be able to license this stuff at all.
I find this odd, because despite my cat wanting to live inside, I find it very clear that she is a pet living in captivity. The fact she wants to live inside seems something more akin to stockholm syndrome or apathy. I think the difference is when it is humans we consider this kind of thing to be more Hukley-esk. My cat doesn't really have free will if I make her think she can go outside but I just give her that impression when she doesn't want to (good tactic to keep them from running out all the time btw. But why it is a good tactic is kinda the heart of this discussion).
Yes, Poetry should be the blessed package manager.
For me, satisfaction comes primarily from the perceived level of usefulness.

If I'm either ineffective at my job, or my work doesn't seem very important(in a proximal or distal sense), or bureaucratic structure prevents me from being effective, then my interest plummets significantly.

I believe this is why some of my best work experiences were in less prestigious organizations. Despite how terrible my first employer was, there were times where I got tremendous satisfaction because I was allowed to be effective and my work had significant impact on company operations. (in retrospect, this wasn't a good thing since it came out that this company was running a massive robocalling ring, but you get what I'm saying)

In contrast, I certainly got paid much more in later jobs, but there would be long periods where I became dissatisfied because the majority of meaningful problems had already been solved and most of the work I was doing simply didn't matter. The most dissatisfying work I had was around propping up systems that, in reality, were creating more overhead than they were worth(i.e. the employer making things harder than they needed to be). It amazes me how many companies think that all the software they have is important to keep, even though it would be cheaper and simpler to figure out what really matters and then trim the fat.

Angular's fatal mistake was the name change around Angular 2 ("Don't call it 'Angular 2', just call it 'Angular'").

The problem is that Angular 1 is VERY different from Angular 2+ and searching "Angular" gave Angular 1 results... the search index of Google was poisoned for so long with the wrong results that I switched to React out of frustration.

Can that really be done for Python and the vast amount of libraries? I don't get the sense that one could simply slap on a static type system on Python and get libraries typed for free.

That is unless we're talking about a gradual typing system for Python, where new Python code could be typed and integrated into untyped codebases, similar to Racket and Typed Racket.

You making great points, I never thought about this way, it is compelling idea.

If economics taught me anything is that there is always trade-offs; what are possible trade-offs when there is substantial constrains on monopolies, platforms, and aggregators ?
In a maximally capitalist system, corporations are only incentivised to make changes when those changes improve their profit generation. If environmental improvements would decrease net income, they generally won't do it on their own as it would be inefficient.

Similarly, companies won't generally elect to weaken their bargaining position with employees, such as paying higher wages, reducing working hours, providing PTO or fair hiring/firing practices.

One of the main purposes of government is to represent the will and interests of the general person, whether that's internationally or in collaboration with the companies that provide jobs.

Great idea to apply the principles of competition inside Microsoft:

After a few years of competition, they can just shut down the teams working with the least effective languages.

Using this methodology, Microsoft will end up using the best tools for the job. And they can accept people from any subculture for a few years while the experiment is going on!

> Forced updates every 6 months is annoying to most people.

You aren't forced to update on Fedora. Fedora always supports current release n and n-1. There's even a window when n-2 is still supported after a new n is released.

Even then you aren't forced to update. I work with a guy still running Fedora 29. I wouldn't recommend that personally but his machine still works fine and is rock solid stable. Probably not the most secure though :-P
My render target is 200 milliseconds for the first page load for the 80th percentile, so an extra round trip kills that. External resources via a preload seem to come to easily an extra 200ms, seemingly due to threading delays in Chrome more than the network latency.
This is probably a hard problem, but the dependency graph resolution in conda is a thing of nightmares. It is so appallingly slow even for relatively menial tasks that updating environments becomes an exercise in frustration.

I'm unsure what are the core issues, but in my experience cargo was always pretty quick to use and if it fails, it fails fast.

Conda on the other hand is slow for the simple cases, and if the graph becomes complex it will just churn for 15 minutes before throwing it's hands in the air and giving up with some cryptic error.

I suspect it comes back to the fact that packaging and dependency management was thought about upfront for Rust and the whole ecosystem was built well from the get go?
There's no way for me to know what happened without being part of the team back then. What I'm certain is that he had a bad experience which impacted him negatively and I'm sorry he had to go through this.

you are probably right, i read the comment as receiving respect from everyone and not just friends.

it was also not my intention to invalidate the achievement of someone improving their bodyshape, which, as someone who is overweight myself, is something i wish i could achieve too (although i am somewhat proud of the fact that i kept my weight stable for the last 20 years) and i appreciate your criticism as i realize that my comment can be read like that.

i'd like to apologize for that.

what rubbed me wrong was the implied suggestion that i should improve my body in order to get more respect from friends or anyone else.

it felt to me like doing it for the wrong reasons. again, while saying that i realize that this may not be what the comment intended to express, and i am saying this now not in order to restate or repeat any criticism on my part, but in order to explain my thought process however inadequate it may be.

finally, my comment was not meant critisize the parent at all personally but rather critisize the very idea of respecting someone for their body shape.

Careful with FIRE though. Don't fully sacrifice living with the goal of doing it later. I realize I'm not old by any stretch, but I'm at 40 next year. I've definitely made some sub-optimal decisions with money, but the experiences were mostly worth it. My retirement goal is to be able to do it by the time my kid is out of college - 14 years from now, unless she's smart and does the 5th year I never did. Anyhow, I digress, but I'm glad we traveled, ate, bought a house, sold a house, moved around a bit, etc. because even as income continues upward (along with some wealth if that's what you want to call our tech equity comp), life still gets harder in non-financial areas.

I'm convinced the worst thing we do to our kids is shove them through school and stick them behind a desk the day they're done. I didn't break into tech until my mid 30s, but for the folks who came out of college doing this, you have a legitimate shot to be set before you turn 40. That said, if I could rewind, I'd happily push my own retirement goals back a few more years in exchange for a financially secure year off in my 20's or early 30's.

The fact that Python code is readable like pseudocode is most definitely why I like it best, over esoteric languages like Perl or Erlang with their non-intuitive use of various characters.

To a seasoned programmer it may look obvious, but Python is still by far the best language for newcomers, and generally people tend to stick much longer to the language they were first taught.

Keep an eye on your AuroraStorageIO costs going forward, as we said, we halved our costs and increased performance by switching back to RDS and increasing the PIOPs available. I'm sure that'll be workload sensitive though, so YMMV. We did a bunch of benchmarking, and aurora seemed nice apart from this.

We must've lucked out, as we got Jesse at the start.

Go is faster than .NET and the code is shorter. On average, results may vary.

I looked at the benchmarks.

In cases where .NET is faster it's because the C# version is optimized using unsafe code and x86-specific (i.e. non-portable) AVX2 intrinsics to do the math.

Go version is written in straight-forward way. I think all Go programs are shorter than their C# version.

Compare mandelbrot benchmark:

Those are not fair comparisons and therefore don't paint the correct picture of relative performance.

It’s really a question of how well it resumes: if you’re trickling in a 20GB file and get a couple lost packets at 10GB, was that earlier transfer wasted? Most people use wireless so it’s not hard to have a transient failure which will disrupt a TCP connection but won’t last that long in absolute terms.

I am okay with it. Our software is proprietary licenced, and we consume proprietary licence projects all the time (e.g. Highcharts, Nginx, ElasticSearch, etc.)
They seem to use standardized formats where possible: vcard for contacts, mbox for email, image files for photos, etc. I'll grant you that they do some not-nice things (like separating photo metadata into json files), but I'm curious what format for search or timeline activity would be useful for a "regular schmuck"?

If said person wants to view the data on their own time, HTML seems adequate. And JSON seems ideal if they plan on sending this data to a new service that ostensibly supports parsing Google's takeout.
If it wasn't a crowded/ popular-ish beach (not LA crowded, Oregon Coast crowded), it would have likely been fine. The big problem was the fact that they have a bunch of spectators who were parked within the blast range.
Sorry, I didn't mean to criticize, more so, I find that choice (in 2005) very surprising. So I'm just curious why would it have been made and how that played out.

> Having worked there the JS ecosystem was a tremendous advantage

How so? And to maybe ground my question, in 2005 I'd have expected a switch to Java, C# or Scala. So what advantages were there compared to those for JavaScript?

> It’s also important to keep in mind that Bloomberg is very willing to have their best developers go ahead and build actual tooling at the compilers (and language) levels to resolve issues they may face

That's awesome, but from my read of the article, seems like a lot of fighting to rebuild things that Java just has. And now this whole move to TypeScript to backfill in types, again, it appears to me like maybe if they'd gone with Java, much less time would have been needed on the devs building their own tooling, compilers and doing massive project migrations.
Black Friday Theory
It’s kind of hard not to have that interpretation when he prefixes the statement with “I’d actually like to…”. “

If he’d said “A part of me would like to” instead it probably would have been assumed to be metaphorical. But he didn’t, so here we are.
Much of Python's growth has been driven by data science. Here, the conda package manager is pretty ubiquitous. Conda packages system and other non-Python dependencies (such as the CUDA SDK), removing the need for data scientists to resolve these non-trivial dependencies themselves. This is likely unneeded/ unwanted for production web app deployments.

Given the varied use cases for Python, the goal of a single package manager may be misguided.
I see it differently. The awful W10 stuff to me is a byproduct of adopting the FAANG PM crap - everything's an A/B test, everything's about driving engagement (even if they drive it with a nailgun into your skull :).

Didn't you wear a covid mask?

Simple solution: just wear sunglasses on top.

Then simply refuse to remove either. It's about creating a shelling point: face scanner work on the pre-covid premise that most people were NOT covering their faces, so it required no action on their behalf.

Fortunately, the situation changed: the shelling point prefers the existing status-quo, so it will be seen as an unreasonable expectation to ask you to remove your mask, unless it's a TSA agent checking your id... and it's not.

I am hopeful coming from Honda that they have solved some of the critical issues. I was really impressed with their rider assist [1] for their new motorcycles and the ability to balance a bike. Perhaps that is a small feat compared to what level 3 will require but I am confident Honda will pull it off. This opinion is also based off the fact that I have a couple 37 year old Honda motorcycles that still to this day run strong and hard. I am just optimistic they can do what they say.
