Using monospaced when not necessary feels weird, because everything is unnaturally spaced too wide. Some do like the "typewriter" vibe, but in my experience most do not, and that's why fonts have variable spacing.

That's also why most monospaced fonts (and typewriters) tended to make letters such as 'i' or 'l' larger, not only for clarity, but also to fill up the ugly blank space around them. That's also important due to the fact that a blank space has it's own semantical meaning.
It is, unless you're deemed untouchable.

I find Java and C# to be significantly easier than Go. ("more reasonable" depends on your goals of course, though if I had to pick one language that makes it easy to do things in a reasonable way it would be Python.)

C# was one of the first languages I learned after HTML4 and Game Maker, no problem.

Java I learned later, no problem.

I also get C++ though I never used it enough to be really proficient.

And of course I know a bunch of other languages from awk to bash to javascript to php to ruby to sql to vba (not an exhaustive list).

But whenever someone makes something in Go, they seem to expect that the unique patterns and unusual operators for backgrounding tasks etc. to be intuitive to me and I should be able to pick up where they left off in a few minutes... it's not just not.

> Stackless means when you resume a coroutine you're still using the same OS thread stack

This is confusing, because it begs the question "same as what?" In fact, you can migrate a coroutine across threads, or even create a thread specifically for the purposes of resuming a coroutine.

But I suppose it is true that from the point at which you resume a coroutine to the point at which it suspends itself, it will use a particular stack for any function calls made within the coroutine. That's why you can't suspend a coroutine from within a function call, because the function call will use the stack.
They also aren't a useful rhetorical foil for any present-day arguments. In none of their former territory can you make political hay by deflecting present-day problems onto those particular earlier rulers. That's related to time, of course, but also very much related to what else has happened since, or has failed to happen.

Its the stack. I can't get interested in any crypto currency or related technology that doesn't provide, at a minimum, a linkable C library or .. even better .. a luarocks module .. to do all the work.

Altering data with text editors is more or less the opposite of the integrity afforded by a database.

Of course principled command-line tools for text (e.g. awk) and the possibility of running arbitrary SQL queries on a database blur the line, but the distinction between files that are read or written once as a step in a transformation pipeline or as something to load or save and databases that represent a persistent state, with transactions, remains sharp.
Ask HN: Why don't we create checksum for source code?
Suppose a developer puts the source code of an App in Github, so that we can review the source code to ensure it is securely safe for users. I know we create checksum for the binaries. But how can we know the App in App store is built from the source code in Github?
If I had to choose between scalability and better (more useful, more accessible, more maintainable) apps I would pick the apps. Ways to do real-world interesting things for people, buildable without any rocket science.

You are denying Pol Pot killing 1 million Cambodians was "genocide".

You are correct, it wasn't a legal pig. That is why the trials had to loophole it around killing the Cham and other minorities. Points for being technical.

As I said even by your legal definition the Chinese are not committing genocide against the Uyghurs.

That depends a bit on whether the language you want to support is already supported by your platform (Alexa, say). If it is, it can be as easy as gettext. It can also be a bit harder because you want to take cultural behavior for conversations into account.

If your language isn't supported by the platform, you're just out of luck. The best you can do is request your platform to translate it, but that is - like vages described - a lot of work and will take time.
The solidity language was never fun to me. I abandoned experiments before vyper and yul, the alternatives I know about, were out. Everything felt at the same time fragile and definitive. Bad things would happen if you “deployed” a flawed contract without the ever growing best practices of layers and proxies.

I have had more fun learning about finance and creating indices than I have ever had coding on ethereum.
Thanks for clarification. But don't you find it misleading to amortize panel power generation across day and night? It makes it seem like you just need more panels to cover power demand in the evening and night .. when in reality, no amount of panels will ever work.
Totally. None of this felt safe, or sane, ever.
Most certainly, don't get me wrong. It is not a value judgement on my part. I don't think people who enjoy coding are wrong and I can conceptually see how it can be fascinating.

I just wanted to highlight that this is not some universal truth that the more you do it the more in awe you are at it. For some, the experience forever remains a dredge.

The village where I grew up in Scotland has a cliff-sided promontory reaching out into the sea called the Green Castle - archaeological digs in the 1970s found remains of iron age and Pictish forts there. One part is eroding away and you can quite clearly see a line of burnt wood particles - one of the theories being that the fort was burned down in a Viking seige:

Currently WinRT has the best support for C++ co-routines, Microsoft was after all the main driver of the proposal, and they map to the Windows concurrency runtime.

It's basically a set of 4 principals or best practices:
1. decentralized data ownership.
2. Data as a product.
3. Self-serve data infrastructure.
4. Federated governance.
So I don't think of it as some new product thing but rather principals that work well for people with a certain type of use case. It's a bit like Microservices in that regard.
The brain science people are finding that making music, i.e. singing or playing a musical instrument, is likely to be very good for maintaining brain health. Additionally, because it is a physical activity, it encourages old folks to keep their bodies functioning reasonably well so that they can enjoy their music hobby.

That brings us to exercise, which is a great thing if you can enjoy it. Easy exercise, e.g. walking, shuffleboard, kite flying, billiards, ping pong, swimming, gently aerobic exercise machines, dancing, shuffleboard, golf, dog walking, frisbee, gardening, or just sharing simple activities with active younger relatives, are fine, and as little as 45 minutes on most days may be optimal.

I'm retired a few years and just a bit younger than your father, and I would spend 40 hours a week on those two kinds of activities except that my wife often direct otherwise, which I also enjoy considerably. Life is very good for me now. I have gotten rid of a vast majority of my programming and software books and almost eliminated programming activities entirely. The problem with programming is that if you like it, you always have a program that needs one more tweak, and that means that every day you will sit down much more than you expected to. Better to keep an active mind in an active body.

Well that’s what it takes to compete at that level. If you want to work at Apple, learn a fuck ton of programming. If you want to work in the National Football League, learn to throw a football at 50 miles an hour with 3 inch accuracy while both you and the target are being chased by big strong men.

Competition at the top is supposed to be tough.
Yes, but you sacrifice security for scalability. One of the ethereum layer 2's seem to be the most promising but are yet to gain major traction. Loopring seems to be in a pretty good place right now though. You could also use some other crypto like BCH, which vitalik once suggested could be used to store ethereum state. So if its good enough for him, it might be good enough for you.
Well, today?

As much as I like some replacement candidates, C++ is everywhere, so if you want to do anything related with graphics, machine learning, compiler development, OS drivers ,IoT toolchains, and not having the burden to sort out infrastructure problems by yourself, then C++ is the less painful way to go.

Some would say C, but in domains like machine learning, you really don't want to write plain old C for what is running on the GPGPU.

Sometime when I am old(er) and (somehow?) have more time, I'd like to jot down a "Rosetta Stone" of which buzzwords map to the same concepts. So often we change our vocabulary every decade without changing what we're really talking about.

Things started out in a scholarly vein, but the rush of commerce hasn't allowed much time to think where we're going. — James Thornton, Considerations in computer design (1963)
The distro model did not work, which is why the other model took over.

I used to try to religiously follow the recommendation only to install Python packages which had been repackaged by Debian. Fine, but it meant that you couldn't use any even slightly obscure package, nor one that was younger than some timelag, which ranged from a few months to a couple of years.

Inevitably, you want to pip install something. Then the repercussions of mixing Debian packages and pip packages are a whole new set of problems. And you can't get anyone to look at your problem, even if it's a common issue which the Debian packager could fix or workaround, because 'pip is not supported, you should install this via `apt install python-foo`'.

The best solution is and was to only use pip packages, along with some form of isolation from the wider system, whether virtual environments, containers or what. Python now has extremely good native tools to work this way, and so do most modern languages. I only work like this now, and so, it appears, do all the maintainers of my dependencies and my transitive dependencies. Development cycles are much faster, and it all just works.
It's a bit broad, but nothing here seems unreasonable.

This also might change. German banks start again to take monthly fees for accounts, so why not for single transactions.

This said, I have to deal with accounts in NZ and Europe. Fees as well as speed for transfers between them is a whole other world when using TW compared to classic banking. These kind of costs have exist forever, SEPA conditions are the exception, not the rule, internationally.

Entire industries have been built on top of JavaScript, from rags to the most valuable companies in the world reinvesting back into it. It’s getting mature, too.

As someone who 5 years ago refused to learn JavaScript and was firmly in your camp, I don’t really see an “up to snuff” argument to be made anymore. All languages have quirks and JavaScript definitely has them, but it’s not alone in that regard, especially comparing to C/C++/Go. Besides, you don’t want a systems programming language to write code that runs in the EVM, or when running others untrusted code.

Use the right tool for the right job.
I have used Nuklear in a medium sized hobby project, and it's kinda cool but I will be migrating away from it. I am not aware of it being used in shipped products, unlike Dear Imgui which is a more popular alternative.

The first reason is that it doesn't have a good layout system requiring manually specifying positions and sizes in quite a few places and doesn't gracefully handle varying font sizes. My GUI code is littered with x*FONT_SIZE to do some kind of scaling to work on my low res 27" screen and a high res 13" laptop. I don't need it to do any magic behind the scenes with font sizes (such as moving from monitor to monitor), just allow setting the GUI font size to a reasonable value and sticking with it without manually specifying every row height.

The motivation for this probably is that the author wanted to have extremely skinnable UI to be able to do fancy game UI's. However, if you look at a lot of modern game UIs they have a flat "material design" type of UI with flexbox-like layouts, and no fancy skinning, just flat colors and rounded corners. Another motivator is that Nuklear can run on triangle-based GPUs and pixel-pushing APIs. This is not valuable to me.

The second reason is that it's buggy. The developers have taken to the extremes to avoid dependencies. This includes stuff like home-brewed implementation of printf. Which will hang in an infinite loop when you try to print a float that has INF value. With some hacking, I was able to make Nuklear use standard printf and some other standard library functions instead of the bundled implementations.

I appreciate all the effort the developers have put into this, but it's not ready for prime time and expect to spend time fixing bugs if you'll use it.

I'll probably be moving away from the immediate mode GUI paradigm as a whole (instead of using Dear Imgui or Nanogui), it's a poor fit for the application I'm developing.

Recently I've been seeing a quite polished game UI toolkit used in several published games, like Rise of Industry and Space Haven. Does anyone know what this toolkit is? Something Unity offers or some proprietary library?

On my spare time I've also worked on a retained mode flexbox-based UI layout and rendering library that integrates like Nuklear or Dear Imgui. In other words, the GUI library doesn't have any dependencies or have any side effects. You feed in a tree of GUI elements, the events coming from the windowing system and as output you get a vertex buffer and a list of triggered events. This concept shows some promise but unfortunately I don't seem to have the time it takes to turn this into a polished product. I'm happy to talk about it if anyone is interested.

I'm from the UK, we have national guidelines and laws, so the situation is a bit different.

But I wonder what claim to authority or special knowledge you are using to feel confident your own attitude is purely rational, and uninfluenced by your political beliefs and personal biases?

Moreover, whatever you think about the balance of scientific evidence, science should not be used to directly drive policy. Elected politicians create policy, and science is one sort of advice that feeds those decisions. Policy created purely from scientific advice would be a recipe for arbitrary decisions, and technocratic undemocratic rule. The politically motivated aspect is a feature not a bug!
