Your third point is the second most important, but the most important is number one by far. People are willing to let social media turn into a shitshow because they're not invested. It didn't cost them anything and it doesn't continue to cost them anything, so it has no value.

Starship Troopers (both the book and the movie) hit the nail on the head... "Something given has no value."
I agree. Something doesn't fit. Probably because some actor is trying to get an advantage? Cui Bono?
the future of NFTs will probably involve a shift from NFTs as collectible novelties to NFTs linked to offchain events, data and payments, combining the advantages of both decentralized and traditional worlds.

I agree that using a JS runtime makes more sense that Emacs's weird e-lisp runtime, with all of its dynamic-scope weirdness.

But dynamic scope, and e-lisp, isn't the only thing weird about Emacs. Emacs also calls "files" "buffers", and calls "windows" "frames" and "frames" "windows". It has weird keyboard shortcuts. Every third command also copies to the clipboard as a side-effect, which means you constantly obliterate the contents of the clipboard while getting ready to paste what you thought was there. Oh, but to address this problem, it makes the clipboard into a ring of clipboards, so that when you replace the clipboard with something else, you can still access the other clipboards in a ring by hitting the paste command multiple times in a row. Oh, but if you press another key in between, you get lost in clipboard madness.

Emacs also has an "undo", but no "redo" command. Except that when you "undo", it actually pushes the "undo" itself onto the list of "things to undo", so that you can undo that undo, in order to redo. But people also need to undo multiple undos before getting interrupted with a redo, so Emacs only undoes the undos if you press some other key after undoing a few dos in a row. But hey, this means it doesn't need a "redo" command.

So, I agree that the elisp runtime is a weird thing about Emacs, and something that is rational to change. But the thing is... if you're going to change that... why not everything else about Emacs?

I mean, at some point Emacs looks a lot like Bitcoin Core, or Wikipedia -- a beautiful historical community with weird consensus rules that flowered into a very exotic, strange, and usually-functional artifact. Although sometimes it doesn't work as well as the newer technologies.
Telegram can also sell "premium reaction packs" (steam hats), and/or go Discord mode and have people "boost" private groups etc with "premium features"... I would actually pay for better video calls (no one is giving us 1080p or greater)
I assume that concerns many cities worldwide but it seems that currently everyone is trying to get rid of cash and take cheap loans to buy real estate. I check the real estate websites in Austria on a daily basis and can say that real estate supply has definitely decreased during the past year.
No, what I'm saying is that it is useful. Because in a concurrent program, you'll almost certainly being using the single threaded techniques developed here. And that the fastest program will be the one that uses the fastest single threaded techniques. So it makes sense to simplify the model and just look at the thing that is going to dominate the runtime of the program.

If a "dumb" thread pool is indeed what ends up being the best concurrent solution, then Rust, Go, C and C++ (and probably most of the other languages) are going to have almost no problems implementing it. It's just Not That Interesting.

Now, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe there is something clever here to exploit in a concurrent program, and that some languages let you do that easier than others. I doubt it. It would be interesting if it turned out to be the case, but it would be a different benchmark. It wouldn't just be about how well a language can deal with simple data transformation tasks, but also about how it deals with tricky concurrency problems. But this doesn't seem like the kind of problem that needs such things. It complicates the model.

Like honestly, just saying that any benchmark that ignores parallelism "isn't very useful" is just totally ridiculous.
Obviously you are right... but...

If the fix had been some super application specific super obscure thing, we would all understand.

Instead... the bug is easily describable to anyone who knows what JSON is and the fix is “don’t parse JSON the slow way”.

So I think some of the leniency afforded to the devs may be misplaced. Then again, hindsight and all that.

I'm your neighbor to the south (slovenia)... here, your house is practically untouchable if you mess up, but most people want other people to be taxed for owning a house. They also want owners of vacant properties taxed a lot more (which they believe would create more rentable apartments, but vacant apartmnts in big cities are rented out without contracts and without tax - usually to students, who prefer a risky cheap apartment, to a contract+more expensive, and vacant houses outside of cities are empty because literally noone wants to live there - you can buy a house with a large yard around it for a price of a used WV Golf in some parts of slovenia, and maybe half a bathroom in our capital). The same people also want people making money by renting out apartments pay more taxes on rent, because they somehow believe that the increase of taxes wont mean increase in rent prices.... i have no idea why.

But our largest problem is the same as in many other cities, including San Francisco.... want to build something? You have to buy a run down house, because you're not allower to build stuff on farming area, literally by the city center... and when you build a house, it can be 2 family house max. We need huge apartment buildings, but finding an area where an invester can build ones is impossible, because our municipality and goverment don't allow it.
> if you insist "it can't happen here" (in the USA)

It can certainly happen. But absent some obvious incentives, I prefer to give the benefit of the doubt. (The Libor manipulation was done by people employed by the private sector, who had their career advances and their compensation linked to the way the Libor was marked.) You are right that some non-obvious group dynamics can happen in Government organizations, but based on this generic statement alone, we should refrain to accepting any conspiracy theory without at least a modest amount of intellectual due diligence.

There’s a philosophy of science and a philosophy of art, like there’s philosophy of physics and math. I think it’s more about the practice of asking the hard questions, in whatever field they may be.

No, but it tackles the same aforementioned issues:

> opaque maintenance/contributions, poor performance inherited from core design decisions made decades ago, the burden of backwards compatibility for legacy systems, etc.

The main goal of NeoVim is to ditch the backwards compatibility and simplify the codebase. Sure, it isn't a from-scratch rewrite, but it's a very deep fork.

Or you could just use lodash source and compile using your own compiler like rollup and remove uglification.

This could be done by the ISP hosting an instance of the service that can inter-operate with other hosted instances on other ISPs. They already do this with email and many of them did with usenet.

Yup, I still feel bad that the one thing I asked my parents for when they visited the US when I was a kid was for a Calvin and Hobbes t-shirt. I knew nothing about Bill Waterson's stance on licensing at the time and my poor parents spent hours in NYC looking for a t-shirt till they finally found a bootlegged t-shirt.

I can't wait to share my entire set with my kids but I'm waiting for them to mature a bit more before getting them into it since a lot of the humor is lost in very young kids.

do you have an argument to make, or just some vague hypotheses about whether I'm joking?

I understand the scientific process as well as any non-scientist could expect to (ie, in theory if not in practice). I studied physics in college (not that that's some big credential, but I do have some exposure to the idea).

My issue with scientism is it aims to credit "the pop scientists" as an authority rather than encouraging scientific skepticism and scientific literacy. It also promotes science as the only way to glimpse truth, but that's a separate and more complex issue.

Hero worship of scientists as a class (let alone individual scientists, or TV presenters in some cases) as being the holders of truth is not a good thing, but I'm excited to hear your arguments for why it is.

They tend to get a lot of community accolades but yea - spending time fixing someone else's intellectual property isn't a great place to start your proposition if you want to make money.

Even traditionally mod friendly companies will tend to sweep in and either block any derivative work that's monetizing their improvements or else negotiate with the creators to take the lion's share and republish the content under their company label. There are a bunch of examples of this but Counter Strike is a pretty famous one.

That all said, it's pretty hard to argue that making minor alterations to a product should allow me to resell it as a novel work. Fan Fiction exists - but it doesn't (legally) exist as taking a novel and taking on a few new chapters then reselling it without giving a portion to the original author.

> But dynamic scope, and e-lisp, isn't the only thing weird about Emacs. Emacs also calls "files" "buffers", and calls "windows" "frames" and "frames" "windows".

Using "buffer" as a name for text being edited is hardly worthy of the title weird, vim does it too. Lots of other text editors as well. "Buffer" != "file", the first exists in the memory of the text editor process, the second exists on the file system. Their contents may differ, and one may exist without the other.

Likewise, calling the subdivisions of the screen "windows" is something which vim does too, and likely other editors also. For a text mode editor, it makes perfect sense. When you then port such an editor to a GUI, you end up with "windows" which are subdivisions of the GUI "window" – vim has that too, not just emacs. (Unlike Emacs, vim doesn't have the "frame" concept, because vim doesn't appear to support multiple GUI windows.)

I had one developer who was VERY smart but would ask for help at the smallest problem. Usually I'd be able to help him fix it in 5 minutes, or he'd rubber duck it himself explaining to me. So what I did is he'd IM me if asking if I could stop by, I'd say sure let me finish this code I'll be over in 15. Five minute later I'd get an IM saying n/m I fixed it. I'd ask him about it later in the day so he didn't feel ignored. I think it worked out pretty well for both of us.
Does lodash support tree-shaking if you only import the utilities you require? Sounds like you probably don't need the obscure math Unicode bits.
I think Singapore also has some particular relevance to the US because of its multi-ethnic nature.

Often when I talk to Americans about public housing a really common argument is the image of public housing as a sort of racist thing that creates enclaves for certain (usually low-income) groups. Yet Singapore, with its integration policies has virtually completely avoided this, and it basically can only do it effectively because it controls the housing stock.

It's not a utopia but the degree to which people intermingle and live together is quite astonishing if you're used to French Banlieues or the segregation in many American cities today.

You can’t tell me that exterior outlets are rare or expensive. The fuel saved in a single year would easily exceed the price of putting some exterior outlets in a parking lot.
TANSTAAFL :)

The thing is that if your social network gave you more value than $10/month, you’d sign up for it, no? Remember when texting on your mobile phone was a separate plan that cost about $10-20/month? People fell over themselves to sign up for that because it gave them access to a large social network, one that consisted of people you actually meet in real life and that are presumably worth keeping up with. I don’t use Facebook because nobody on there really is worth my time to keep up with, and I can’t bring myself to try to curate my feed/friends list because that’s just work, all the while FB will keep polluting it with ads anyways. Instagram is mildly more worth it to me because you can actually find some meaningful connections on there as a photographer, but I suspect that’s 100% temporary.

Ironic, in this case. And the fix isn't much better; there's no guarantee that RDRAND won't revert to the -1 behavior after the check runs, perhaps after a VM migration or resume from suspend or what-not.

Overall RDRAND seems to be a terrible userspace instruction. Special-casing its use sounds more complicated then proper multi-platform support for system RNGs.
Unlike some other places (the US?), in Austria property tax is a relatively minor part of cities's finances. It's also computed based not on "actual" property values but on fictional values that haven't been adjusted since 1973 or so. For both of these reasons, the city doesn't stand to lose from sinking land prices (not that they are sinking).

Also, I can't find the numbers right now, but a lot of land in Vienna is owned by the Catholic Church. Religious organizations are conveniently exempt from property tax.

As far as I can tell, Austrian courts don't subscribe to a notion that investments in real estate should be guaranteed to be risk-free.

There has been a rash of scurrilous people buying popular Chrome extensions and or paying owners to add malicious code.

The malicious code can add third party script references which then behave differently depending on target user or time of access, and these can be credential thefts/keylogging, (very inefficient) cryptocurrency miners, ad injection or participation in click farms, or just general connivery.

I'm very glad Google is starting to do source code review on extensions, it's long overdue given the access they have.
From the article: “In other words, this had nothing to do with code obfuscation or minification. My extension would still include the violating strings even if it were published without processing the source code in any way, simply because Lodash explicitly declares Unicode characters.”
