> I cannot imagine building beyond >1000 LoC in interpreted, dynamically typed languages

Many have imagined and built valuable stuff in interpreted, dynamically typed languages before you, by being more focused on overall structure and making sure it's strict and resilient. One really doesn't have to search far for successful applications that are certainly way beyond 1000 LoC and still iterate pretty quickly for their size.

> significantly easier to dockerize a generated binary from golang or rust

Not sure the verboseness of either golang or rust would be worth it if you compare it with python. If you're just launching, your focus should not be on performance or how easy it is to dockerize but to figure out who your user really is. Scaling and deployment issues will happen much further down the road, and iteration speed is more important in the beginning as you have many changes. Your architecture needs to reflect this too, and dynamically typed languages (arguably) makes it easier to change things, as long as you know what you're doing.

But together with that, you are eventually gonna have to start leveraging more languages, as you have programmers working on different levels of the overall architecture. Some fit for some tasks, and when it comes to quickly launching and iterating on SaaS businesses, dynamically typed languages are a pretty good fit.

In the end, I don't really think dynamic/static typing is the most important consideration, that's such a small part of what you have to think about overall.
Airwindows' stuff is awesome, and open source too! Would highly recommend checking out some of the DSP on his github
It’s very clever to say that ‘technology’ goes back to the ancient Greeks, or the invention of bronze, or maybe the first chipped piece of flint, so ‘there’s nothing new about technology’. But this is also desperately pedantic, and adds nothing at all to the conversation, when we all know perfectly well what the normal usage of the word technology is. Quibbling about terminology tells us nothing about ideas
This seems like it could be a big new direction:

The Pentagon is considering sending active-duty troops to large, federally run coronavirus vaccine centers, a major departure for the department and the first significant sign that the Biden administration is moving to take more control of a program that states are struggling to manage.

When people make grand claims about egregious moderation failures like this, they never supply links. That's because, nearly always, the reality of what happened tells quite a different story. I'd like to see what you're talking about, that is so vile and reprehensible, and I bet fair-minded HN readers would like to see that as well, so they can make up their own minds.
Your responses make it seem like you have never used a sandboxed app on the Mac, as every single thing you have mentioned has significantly better solutions than you are suggesting as an alternative. Even if you haven't, the things that it doesn't aren't a stretch to come up with and I might as well just list them here:

> Eventually, the list is so large that many applications need access to at least one thing from which they may escalate to full access.

This makes zero sense. If an app wants access to keylogging APIs, then it better be an app where it makes sense to be able to keylog other apps. 99% of apps have no reason to do this and have no need for full access.

> In the alternative, one has to grant it access to files, or directories, on an individual basis with every save,

No, the alternative is that you give the application access to a file and now it owns that file.

> And you didn't address the fact that if he browser have recursive write permissions to the `~/Downloads` folder, it can alter anything that any other application downloaded to it, and thus install whatever malware it wish in there.

You can deny the browser the ability to read or write to the directory in general, but it may create new files and have permission to those.

Overall, it is eminently possible to make useful software, perhaps even most useful software, that operates under a reasonable sandbox.

Invoking parallel universes was solely for ease of explaining/emphasizing the math, not because I think it's a realistic model.

Talking about the Hubble Deep Field kind of misses the point. The original Drake equation[0] estimates the number of alien civilizations in our galaxy. I probably should have used galaxies in my example, but left it with parallel universes as that is the common phrase.

For local development that debian container is fine but for production you want something small like scratch or alpine. The fewer binaries in the container, the better and more secure.

This is one of the benefits of golang. You compile it into a binary and copy just the binary into your scratch container. Maybe it is 20MB in size.

I don't think you're correct about that.

About 10% of teaching income is from the government, but that's to cover courses that cost more to teach (medicine, physical sciences, engineering etc). There is no per-student subsidy as far as I am aware? Unis get the 9k a year, either cash or from the slc.

Also, international fees are unregulated. They're totally down to the uni and the student. Central government doesn't touch them. This is why there has been a big push to take on foreign students in most universities over the last 20 years.

The weirdest thing is, this is absolutely the opposite of what Politico reported this morning (in a story headlined "‘It’s a mess’: Biden’s first 10 days dominated by vaccine mysteries ")

After a week on the job, Biden’s team is still trying to locate upwards of 20 million vaccine doses that have been sent to states — a mystery that has hampered plans to speed up the national vaccination effort. They're searching for new ways to boost production of a vaccine stockpile that they've discovered is mostly empty. And they're nervously eyeing a series of new Covid-19 strains that threaten to derail the response.

“It’s the Mike Tyson quote: ‘Everybody’s got a plan until they get punched in the mouth,’” said one person with knowledge of the vaccine effort who’s not authorized to discuss the work.

Interesting, why are you selling so soon?
There is a big difference of running a PC on the cloud that runs your game vs what Stadia does, that's why Stadia is so much better than the competition, the game is compiled for that purpose.

The other thing that no one is talking about is that it removed 99% of the cheats because the game is not running locally and you just use a "dumb" terminal.
> That cannot be left unchecked.

While I agree with your goal, this approach relies on the idea that "not leaving it unchecked" results in some sort of change in the right direction.

Unfortunately, the evidence I've seen doesn't really support that "confronting them with the truth" actually accomplishes this. It would be lovely if this turns out not to be the case.
I somewhat agree with you that being loud once a year isn't that bad but .... if I was to do it I'd invite the entire neighborhood (which is also ends up being notification and a chance to object)

Also, in Japan this would almost never happen. If someone wanted to throw a loud party they'd rent a space for it. That doesn't seem common in the USA in my experience. But, having gotten used to it in Japan, it's kind of disappointing that it's not more common. Sure you can sometimes rent an entire bar or restaurant in the USA but it seems super rare where as it's common in Japan. On the other hand, it's also not common in the USA to pay for a party but in Japan no one blinks an eye if someone invites you to a party and says "We're having a party Friday night. It's $30 a person"

I know it's not entirely the same because it's indoors.
It’s often better to have something you may not need than have not something you may need, especially for projects you intend to grow, iterate on, and possibly pivot. If my experience has taught me anything, I can never assume what I don’t need in the future. Most features come with Django and Rails almost for free (the only downside being some additional deployment size), so why not.
The WSB crowd complaining about the "ladder attack" (short selling the stocks between themselves at lower and lower prices to drive down the price), misinformation on CNBC, being prevented from being able to buy the stock on various broker (thus prevented from driving the price up and causing the gamma squeeze to cause the short squeeze)
"it was supposed to be a free market and we can't trade as freely as the billionaires" which, fair complaint I guess.
These are examples of an individual being sympathetic towards something that isn't traditionally part of their political affiliation's viewpoints. The study is about building respect between people with different political viewpoints.

That is a double edged sword. Sure, that dynamically typed language of python or ruby might be quick to develop on but they often contain a lot of surprising bugs.

Z3 is intended as more of a backend for higher-level languages, like TLA+, to use in model checking. I would be surprised if anyone were writing specs in the input language directly.

For rich people it is often just fat fingers. At that much money, you can't help but step on someone's toes.

For millions of manic amateurs, it's mania and collusion. The planning of it is evidence.

So become rich, before you break laws, seems to be the moral hazard here.
Can also relate--I've been writing software for 15 years, and for probably the first 5 years I produced more raw lines of code than the last 10. At some point we (hopefully) all learn that slogging more code at a problem has a vanishingly small chance of solving it well.

The act of sleeping on a problem is almost mystical in that solutions seem to come out of thin air. The reality is that you're allowing your experience time to apply itself.
> We can get rid of the kidnappers and the evil concentration camp-building bastards.

> In the world I'm envisioning no one could build concentration camps.

Okay, but you don't have a way to get to that world.

If we're talking about what we want society to look like, then I might as well say that in the world I'm envisioning, we don't have concentration camps or kidnapping or mass surveillance. Let's imagine that we've figured out a way to get rid of all of it without any cameras anywhere.

But having an end goal isn't enough, you need a feasible path to get there. I don't believe there is any possible world where you have perfect mass surveillance that doesn't result in totalitarianism. I think it is a trade between kidnappers and totalitarianism, and saying you'd prefer it not to be a trade... well, great, but it is.

If you have an actionable plan to get to the society you're envisioning then go for it, but in the meantime let the rest of us try to invent invisibility cloaks, and build E2E encrypted chat apps, and promote Tor, and legislate/restrict State surveillance, because even if those solutions are imperfect we still want to try and protect the people who are suffering under the oppressive regimes that exist right now.

At the very least, even if privacy can't be preserved forever, every day that we delay the world of perfect mass surveillance is another day that people like you get to spend figuring out how to create the utopian society you're imagining. And frankly, it kinda sounds like you could use all the time you can get, because I don't see how you plan to get from point A to point B. So if it helps, think of the privacy advocates as buying you time to make sure that facial recognition won't be applied selectively against civilian populations while police officers don masks and cover up their badge numbers.

Once you've figured out the laws that need to be passed to make your utopia, and once they're far enough in the process that they have a pretty good chance of passing, then we can stop advocating for privacy.

I can also highly recommend Critical Path. In my experience, his invented words are designed to politely reprogram the way you think, and give you a tabula rasa frame of mind about the subject. The act of voluntarily interpreting the meaning of his words rewires you a bit.

"HN" isn't a person or even a coherent group. It can't "consider" anything anything. If you mean that a subset of HN users post things as horrible as you're describing, that's no doubt true, as it is on any large, open internet forum. When the long tail meets the bottom of the barrel, it generates dreck. The vast majority of it gets downvoted and/or flagged and/or moderated and/or autokilled. Some still gets through, and we ask people to tell us about those cases so we can moderate them. We can't see everything that gets posted here.

That subset of users is not representative of the community, or even close to 10% of it. If I'm wrong about that I'm open to changing my mind, but that would require real data. People's generalizations about HN are unreliable. The unreliability is proportional to the passion and confidence of the pronouncement. Typically, someone has seen a few egregious cases (or even just one) and then makes a generalization from them. The pain of running into egregious comments is real and needs to be taken seriously (and I'm sorry that you don't feel that we do—that really sucks). But the generalization is a non sequitur.

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

It even used to be a sport on Twitter for awhile to find the most egregious HN comments that hadn't been moderated yet and then pass them around as examples of things the HN moderators "agree" with (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...). But of course we don't. Anyone can look through the moderation comments and if they find even one example of us doing anything other than trying to get people to recognize and respect each other's humanity, I'd like to see it. We've written thousands of emails trying to do the same.

The assumption that we see everything that gets posted here is false (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...), as is the assumption that there's any way to stop anyone from making an account and posting what they choose. It takes time for moderation mechanisms to kick in. That's the way an open forum is, and if you think about it, it's rather amazing that HN isn't dominated by such shit.

Yes they are worse, they're practically untouchable. The delusion is that we've all convinced ourselves that some 4-5 yearly cycle popular voting system actually gives us any control whatsoever.

Big companies manipulate the power we've given over to government or lobby for the extra power to be given to the government for them to exploit. It's so obvious it has to be some sort of group psychosis that means we're all continuely having these same discussions.
There's also the fact the installation instructions of way too many open source projects consist of piping code downloaded from the internet straight into bash. A lot of people are probably used to doing that: they assume it's trustworthy just because it's open source and on GitHub. It's the perfect vector.
The work of James G. March is also very interesting in this regard. In particular, he wrestled with our description of rational decision-making. Instead of seeing bounds to rationality as some defect to be worked&modeled around, his contention was that rational people may not actually what we want, or even want to be, when we organize, collaborate, inform ourselves and others and, of course, make a decision.

If you are interested in this angle, I can recommend the collection "Decisions and Organizations".
