I had this realisation too, after spending countless hours searching the code bases with regexes to try to extract valuable information.

Right now we have ide's that provide rich language support but they only expose extremely basic traversals over language symbols, for example I can't semantically query for all the deprecated classes in a particular package that have 3 or more instances.

Right now we have to resort to grep and other text finding tool's to achieve the same functionality which is for all reasons not efficient or reliable.

Once we can semantically query our code bases using a rich expressive language then we could visualise the system and gain richer understanding.

Some of these idea's are being implemented in

Yes and no. I'm sure I wouldn't have hodled, so I didn't really "miss" anything. You also couldn't be too technically inclined because you'd fall in love with blockchain, cash out, but it all in ETH, and go work for a company building a computer architecture that runs at 100 Hz on Etherium for $1 per Hz that pays you a below-market rate, get acquiried when the company fails, and find yourself at FAANG, only to fail the acquihire interview. You also couldn't be too too technically inclined because you realize how inefficient the whole thing is.
It feels like DB technology is catching up to the cloud era. Back in the 2000s it was common for entire products to effectively be written as stored procedures, which carried a lot of benefits when it came to data consistency and performance. I'd bet good money that if Oracle didn't charge a C round, and it was easy to scale out RDBMSs with HA in the cloud that this era wouldn't have ended.

Now that we have managed, fast distributed SQL DBs, with high availability - I wouldn't be surprised to see companies moving more logic back to the DB.
True, but I've seen lots of answers that are "hacks" when there's usually a better, supported way that was spelled out in the docs, e.g. won't fail when you upgrade the library say.

Or they don't want to understand the issue at hand, so they put in a hack, when obtaining a complete understanding of the issue which might take 5 minutes of their time reading the docs, would provide a better solution.
You’re right, it’s already being done. When you see top pros train they wear something that looks like a bra on top of their shirts. This tracks their movements via GPS and also monitors vitals like heart rate. There are firms that provide the hardware and analyse the data as well.

Any evidence of this? Everytime someone mentions this, I ask, and I get no evidence. If this kind of allegation was true, I'd expect tonnes of publications to jump on this.

> our company tried to buy e-ink displays to integrate into a product. All I can say is, it is difficult

I perceive this as equivalent to my company trying to buy 100 displays straight from Samsung and then alleging that it is hard to do. It is all about volume. Even a 1000 and they won't talk to you. It has to be in the 100k volumes before the actual device vendors talk to you. Otherwise you go through distributors just like everyone else.

No, due to ventilation. Even an indoor fireplace for example is -always- vented, so the gasses can escape via the chimney. If you close the damper with a fire blazing, you'll not have a good time.

Outdoor fires well, are outdoors, so there's plenty of oxygen.

That's a bit of a lack of imagination.

What happens is any USDT-BTC exchanges utterly collapse. The price there shoots up to hundreds of thousands of USDT per BTC, those BTC all flood to legitimate exchanges like Coinbase, and deplete their USD. If you believe as I do there's way more USDT printed than backed USD anywhere in the system, Coinbase will dry up too. The price will drop to pennies per BTC on Coinbase.

Then there's a ton of bag holders with BTC, and literally no USD to exchange them for. Plenty of USDT though.

This is what the 2% per month risk premium is about.
Not fair. Upgrading java libs like spring is just as laboursome given enough major releases have lapsed. Backenders need need to get their oumf out of their oumfs, and realize this is all about what you’re used to. Upgrading spring if you know spring is not as hard as upgrading React when you have no clue about React. There’s no significant difference.

This is something my mother does on a grand scale, and we all probably do on smaller scales. (Obviously plenty of allergies are real, I'm not claiming it's all made up.) For 20 years she's attributed various health problems to allergies. There tend to be 2-3 allergies that she believes she has at any one time, each one lasting for about 5 years. Last I checked, she was "gluten sensitive", that was the main one. Another person I know claims to be allergic to "about 20 to 30 things, but all on a very mild level that combines and accumulates over time". Just the sort of thing that you couldn't, you know, test for. A more determined person would probably hit on one thing and stick with it for a long time.

I think "rationality" is not any kind of preventative against getting caught up in this. It's a matter of being in a community, and everyone in the community saying "yeah I discovered I had this problem, it's actually way more common than doctors realize and it had these symptoms, and fixing it improved my life so much." So then you start to think about whether you have had anything that resembles those symptoms, and your brain wheels start to go on the possibility that all your life issues could be solved if you just eliminated whatever it is. Pretty soon you do have the symptoms, you see them every time you encounter this thing. Why didn't you notice it before? You must have been desensitized... and so on.

To be clear, I'm not making light of the issue, and I'm definitely not willing to say that this is what is happening to anyone in this thread in particular, but by my observation it's an extremely common problem, one I've fallen into myself before. I literally do not let myself listen to anecdata about allergies, because I know I'll fall for it again. This is all sort of reminiscent of England's famous "catching" psychological issues, or the betwitched children of Salem.

Exactly. I code in half a dozen different languages that all have their own ways to split a string. When I can't remember the syntax to do this in, say, Python, being able to just say "python split string" and it goes to a reasonable SO answer is a big win for me.

I love reading docs too, so I can get a deeper understanding. But sometimes I just need an answer in a hurry.

The go authors could do what they originally did with generics: only let the compiler/stdlib have macros.

Also, go users have _already_ started parsing comments for magic strings, so it's not like setting an example of using comments is stopping users from doing this crap too.

A macro language which is defined in a clear and consistent way definitely seems less magic than a macro language which has no real definition, other than examples of comments.
Most programs are not factories. Programming is mostly about handling state.
It’s nice that they built something into the service but
I think can this problem can be solved independent of the service.

One of my weekend project ideas is a small deadman-switch service that pings you every X days to press a button, if it hasn’t heard from you in Y days it sends a private key encrypted file and some instructions. Think onetimesecret with a button and a timer.

I really like this comment. Very rarely do people understand that there are reasons for people seeking escape. All addictions seem to be a way to deal with some issue they are facing. If the root cause is fixed, the problem should be solved. People would rather blame technology rather than understand human beings. It's an easier route to take.
> If "you won't have to use it" is something people accepted then wouldn't everyone stick with kitchensink languages like C++ instead of coming up with new "clean" ones like Python, Java, C#, etc? :-P

No because C++ still requires some amount of manual memory management, unlike the rest of languages you listed.
Right, yeah. That was exactly the issue. Tons of garbage gets dragged in when you use a little corner of a huge library. And I'm mostly leaning on Java libraries. Yet it seems it somehow couldn't figure out which parts I was using and which I wasn't. I'll try to give it another shot eventually. Thanks for the tips :)
Actually, it's not. The compiler using the comments for non-commenting purposes makes me puke. It's a dirty workaround and degradation of the language.

If you want a new compiler feature, add a new statement.
The real risk is Tether. Always has been.

If there's way more USDT than USD in the system, because let's say the Tether folks are printing USDT, buying Bitcoin with them, then selling them on Coinbase for cash...

What happens is USDT-BTC exchanges, the price skyrockets to millions of USDT per BTC. You transfer to Coinbase and try and sell there, but the price collapses to pennies.

No Firefox available and it would probably crash nonstop (Otter does). NetSurf is great though! Outside of that, the OS is easily-configurable and the "sane/secure defaults" approach is great. It also thus far feels very cohesive. Time will tell, but I'm impressed thus far. :)
Think of it like you pay for grain harvested by well paid workers. But you don't get that grain directly. Instead all the grain harvested by everyone, even underpaid near slaves, is put in one big pile. When you go get your 5 pounds from the pile you are getting the mix from everyone, but the well paid workers are the ones earning the money.

None of these are compelling use-cases at all. Who cares? There is an interesting idea behind wearable tech, but we shouldn't want the protocols to be locked behind specific-company technology, and I certainly have no interest in giving Google even more of my data.

The game-changing wearable tech will be related to specific problem-domains, particularly with elder-care and (to a lesser extent) infant/young child assets for their parents.

Hard pass on Jacquard.
Regardless, the interconnection absolutely does not care about the MWh of the battery. It has no concern, no care, no need to know. So when talking about interconnection queues, only the GW are reported.

As far as 17GW of battery, the only technology shipping at that scale is lithium ion, and all lithium ion grid batteries are designed for 30 minutes to 4 hours of duration at maximum discharge.

The idea of a week long battery is not a realistic one at this stage. With Texas' excellent solar resources, it may never need long-duration storage, whenever/if that tech gets developed.
Yeah, it's magic, but not black magic; it's a civilized way of doing things like these.

> As soon as the BTC market reaches maximum penetration and no new buyers can be found, Bitcoin becomes price stable.

Bitcoin is negative sum because the miners constantly have to sell Bitcoins for real currency to pay their electric bills. The equilibrium point is when the new money entering the system is equal to the cash value of block rewards. The higher the price, the more new money has to come in to keep it stable.

Currently, Tesla's $1.5B investment is about 4-5 weeks of electric bills (lmao).

The point at which there are no new buyers is actually a negative slope point.

Clubhouse is definitely full of this stuff, but so is a lot of superficial social networking. It also feels like the VC lovefest a lot of times, but there are also some moments that can be pretty cool. For example, I listened in on a discussion of the Chinese government’s treatment of Uighurs, and when that ended, I listened in on deadmau5 geeking out about cabling runs at live shows and livestream dvr tech. Obviously I didn’t contribute to either of these discussions, but it was still nice to listen in on them. As for contributing, this is where clubhouse is a bit odd. If I want to take part in discussion, I need to start my own talk, join talks with my friends, or be connected enough to be on someone else’s talk. I don’t think it’s likely that you will just drop into a popular talk and start chatting on it, as most of them are “panel-like” discussions.
I do think it’s very different; types are not classes and interfaces are not like interfaces in java, obj-c for example, being defined at point of use.

If you try to recreate inheritance in Go it will be frustrating and not very useful.

The shape of the code ends up very different and embedding is not used even half as much as inheritance (which is the default position in most other oop languages). That has profound impacts.

Introduction to ARM Semihosting
I was obsessed with this for a little while several years ago and ended up making my own version based on the same paper: https://github.com/breckinloggins/vau/blob/master/README.md

It was my second try at a lisp, the first being erlisp (https://github.com/breckinloggins/erlisp).

Neither of these projects really went anywhere, but they really scratched an itch I had and I learned so much about programming language implementation while working on them.

If you haven't tried yet I highly recommend writing a little lisp of your own. It doesn't need to take over the world to be a meaningful project in your life.
I lost my fiancée to cancer a few years ago, and this just reminded me that I suggested she create a GitHub account years ago. I didn't know she had used it, but this post prompted me to check, and it turns out she created some (good) issues on a few Minecraft/CraftBukkit projects.

It's great to see companies dedicating resources to putting these policies in place. It can make a huge difference while someone is going through the most difficult time in their life.

Inflation is only relevant from the time you receive cash to the time you invest it in productive (or in the case of Bitcoin, totally unproductive) investments.

I don't think relief valve will help with freezing pipes. Freezing pipes burst because ice is less dense than water, so water expands as it turns into ice. Pipes freeze on the outside first, resulting in remaining water being entrapped in ice. As remaining water freezes, it can't move into relief valve.

> all questions should follow a very specific format

Do you remember the pictures from the early Covid lockdowns — of the Himalayas becoming visible in parts of India for the first time in decades? City streets deathly quiet everywhere. This is what actually saves the environment: less human economic activity.

Bitcoin contains the built-in incentive to keep you put in place, without engaging in any economic activity. It does so on a massive scale, without sickening people, voluntarily and by design.

Everyone likes to focus on Bitcoin’s cost to the environment, without considering the upsides of Bitcoin adoption, chief of which is a pronounced decline in consumerism.

Consider what would happen if we saw continuously falling asset prices, and dramatically lowered capital investment globally. Consider what would happen if government scrip became worthless, disallowing governments to fund war machines and large public works projects. Bitcoin throttles humanity. This is a big benefit to the planet’s natural ecosystems. Meanwhile the environmental damage Bitcoin can do is capped by the maximum productive output of humanity, which puts a ceiling on the value of one bitcoin.
Thanks for your insight. What do you think is the secret sauce for the success of these companies?

Is it marketing and grabbing mindshare? I hear a lot these days that people discount programming aspects or ideas for a product - they say rather it’s the ecosystem to take an idea and push it to the masses.

Is there a common trend in these examples or do they all have their unique particulars (eg Facebook being borne out of Harvard social network)?
Rolling only works for demand overages of up to 20% or so. With a loss of generation capacity of over 1/3rd of generation that is out the window.

They were trying to keep the grid alive and not have a statewide blackout.
The Chinese have an amazingly ambitious plan to shift power from one part of the country to another with UHV DC. It has its own challenges, but it is definitely the way to shift massive amounts of power without grid interconnect (and the resulting frequency stability issues). Much lower loss, even with DC-AC converters.

If America built a network of 20GW HVDC interconnects it would be far more significant infrastructure than building some highways.
I do agree, I feel like they’ve used this hack to sneak changes into the language which technically don’t break their Go 1 guarantee. I hope they tidy that up in Go 2 and add proper macro commands with a syntax the compiler checks.

Otherwise these magic comments will grow into their own unaudited meta language with no formal spec, just a few usage examples.
