> You massively overestimate C#. Microsoft devdiv marketing is working.

No, I don't. And it isn't based on marketing.

I've done C# since around 2001 and Go since around 2015 (in both cases tools, sites, and APIs) so my perspective on relative performance is from first-hand knowledge.

As regards Java I don't think the comparison is controversial, and I've done Ruby (and some Rails) on and off for many years and whilst some of it may be down to familiarity, I still find C# (after acclimatising to the .Net/Core Framework) to be equally readable, flexible, and simple.

You're totally free to disagree of course, I'm just taking the opportunity to correct the impression that I'm "overestimating" C# based on marketing when in reality there's no estimation happening at all - I'm speaking from personal experience.
What does the USDC token do?

Presumably they thought that they would receive the exact number of tokens that the Uniswap Router sent to them.

Most of these defi tokens do absolutely nothing except force you to trade them back through a deflationary AMM for whatever token you actually want.

> Canada is heavily dependent on resource extraction and export. Canada is also a former colony. But would anyone here dare say Canada is a "developing" economy?

There's a big chunk of that country that can pretty much only be used for resource extraction. It's hard/impossible to grow anything there and pretty harsh to live there.
I have high (mal)confidence this thing is about to shoot way off the rails but what an opening!!!!

ok well at least I'm let down by non-delivery. the changeover to this post bring a recommendation splash is about nothing. lulled a little in the middle then oh hey here's some super sweet rec.

my initial expectation was that it was going to have some weird axe to grind, have something to say about cloud & remote computing, being users of these monopoly-utilities. I didn't really feel any connection back to the original, lovely stated, connectivity empowerments that set off the beginning.
Sooner than that I’d even say. Even a China with GDP per capita 1/4 of the US would pass that bar I think. 1/2 the US would make quality of living comparable to the US, given how relatively bad the US is in QoL, if you assume an urbanized priority vs suburban
It turned out that the most efficient way to iron out these bugs _in the absence of computers_ was through trust and regulation.

It might still be through trust and regulation, but computers enable new ways of ironing out bugs.

> So many comments in this thread seem to conflate Open Source definition with the original Free Software definition.

The Open Source Definition and Free Software Definition are virtually identical in application. Other than CC0 being withdrawn from OSI consideration (not denied) and accepted as a Free Software license, I can't think of any differences in practice.

The Open Source community and the Frr Software community have differing ideologies, but nearly identical minimum requirements for software licensing to meet those different visions.

You're confusing two different decisions: 1) to relocate the capital to a new federal district in a rural-ish area, and 2) to decide where that federal district was going to be located. You're talking about #2; I'm talking about #1. Washington's recommendation to pick a location in the south came several years after congress had already decided #1. If Washington had not pushed for it, DC would have been built in a different previously-undeveloped area, possibly in the north. Again, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania_Mutiny_of_1783

Since you added a huge amount since I replied, I'll make a separate reply.

> But you know what will be worse? Dual actuator drives. Why? Because of what dragontamer (who was right) mentioned, which you overlooked: the two actuators serve disjoint sets of blocks.

They don't have to do that.

I was talking about what you can do with dual actuators, not product lines that already exist.

I didn't realize how mach.2 was designed, though. That's a shame.

> But here's the kicker: they still share some resources that are subject to contention - most notably the external interface.

Each head, even at peak transfer rate, uses less than half the bandwidth of the external interface.

So even if both of them are hitting peak rates at the same time, and the drive alternates transfers between them, things are fine. For example, let's say 128KB chunks, alternating back and forth. Those take .2 milliseconds to transfer. That makes basically no difference on a hard drive.

> Doubled performance is an absolute best case which is never achieved in practice, and I say that because I've seen it.

I completely believe you, about drives where each arm can only access half the data.

> The only way dual actuators can really compete with separate drives is to duplicate all of the resources that change behavior based on the request stream - interfaces, controllers, etc.

Or upgrade them to 1200Mbps, which isn't a very hard thing to do.

TV is even more terrible for discourse, but somehow people got used to top officials making appearance on TV.

I dug out a Nexus One last week, and even after upgrading it to Lineage on Android 2.3.7 it's basically useless.

The stock browser crypto algorithms are too old to connect to most sites, practically zero apps of use support anything that old, you aren't going to be running Firefox or Chrome unless you grab an ancient build. No WhatsApp, Signal, etc. The majority of stuff on F-droid doesn't run, the camera is terrible, it has basically no app storage and you have to use that old mod which allows an ext partition on your SD for apps, which is _slow_. I'm really not sure could find a single practical use for it.
Harvard, MIT, and Stanford would continue to cost about what they cost now, which would price out a substantial portion of the population if loans were not available. (There are well more than enough people with the means to send their kids there out of pocket.)

For me, it would virtually ensure my kids would have their pick of several top or top-middle private colleges paid from 529 accounts and by co-signing or remortgaging our house; nevertheless, I’m still adamantly opposed.

I’m not convinced you can live for four years on part-time work alone, let alone buy tuition, lab fees, and books on top of just your housing, food, utilities, and minimal entertainment in many college towns.

There are two things that matter in setting the price:

- what the buyer is willing to pay

Go can do this easily - you just do `go build -buildmode=c-shared` and put a magic //export FuncName comment before any function. This produces a C ABI .so (Linux) / .dll (Windows).

Although the resulting library is a little bit heavy (1-2MB) because it bundles the Go runtime and GC, and initializes it on first load.
> My i7-8700k has 12 threads, my Surface book 2 pretends to have 16 threads, my iPad Pro pretends to have 16 cores, my iPhone pretends to have 12 cores.

Why do you think you need my core count when that number is useless for any sort of performance indication?

> If it can be done, it will be done. Real progress lies in the social norms that we perpetuate through the standards and policies of the applications that we use. Try to be the force that makes changes that you want.

Sorry, but what is that even supposed to mean? "I do not know why we need to count client cores but we do it and there is some deeper truth to it"? I only use software that does not make useless claim like "Try to be the force that makes changes that you want", that is where real progress comes from.

There isn't law that mandates they split security updates from feature updates.

I'm suggesting that perhaps there should be.

In what other area of consumer protection law does a manufacturer or reseller get to provide a seriously defective product and then refuse to deal with the problem unless the buyer also accepts other changes that might make the product significantly different and possibly in their view significantly worse than the one they chose to buy?

The principle is important here. Your example about Paint 3D is cute, but in reality, there are plenty of other examples where user-hostile software changes have been pushed out after purchase, including those that disabled previously available functionality, reduced privacy, introduced advertising, or dramatically changed the look and feel of the product. People shouldn't be forced to accept these kinds of unwanted retrospective changes to the product they originally chose to buy just to maintain an adequate level of security.

I agree, but it’s very expensive to fix. Visual Studio is a de-facto standard in many areas for a reason.

> interop between two languages causes more subtle issues that you don't notice

I have some experience with python. C interop does work, but the usability is not OK. The languages and runtimes are just too different, which caused non-trivial amount of boilerplate to integrate the two. C# / C++ integration is much easier.

I remember a few times when I wanted to move that interop boundary, usually in the direction of “less C++”, but did nothing about that because development overhead was too large. And I agree that’s harmful in the long run.

Here’s a famous quote: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenspun%27s_tenth_rule The idea does apply to all sufficiently complicated programs ever since: MS Office has VBA, game engines have their scripting languages, AutoCAD has LISP, and so on.

I’m pretty sure that if in the future some programming language gonna become good enough to rule them all, that language will be much closer to modern C# than to modern Rust. Rust offloads a huge amount of complexity to developers (being such a developer, I don’t like that) and to the compiler (results in slow builds).
This may be a use case perspective. For your use case, knowing hex code is superfluous, and that is your mental model. I interface between researchers, designers and developers. If someone in my environment says "I want this cadet blue', the first thing others ask is "what is the hex code".
My 9yo Samsung runs 7.1 (I have an 8.0 image, but it's less fast and stable) with a couple gigs of ram, and has an up-to-date Firefox and Brave on a comfortable screen. Sure it's painfully slow, but so is my HP mini netbook, and I like using that (with an SSD).

It's tri-band, but I only use it on wifi. I might be able to compile newer firmware, but the Android SDK has never worked for me even in the most casual use, so I never tried.

December 2015: "We're going to end up with complete autonomy, and I think we will have complete autonomy in approximately two years."

January 2016: "In ~2 years, summon should work anywhere connected by land & not blocked by borders, eg you're in LA and the car is in NY"

June 2016: "I really consider autonomous driving a solved problem, I think we are less than two years away from complete autonomy, safer than humans, but regulations should take at least another year," Musk said.

March 2017: "I think that [you will be able to fall asleep in a tesla] is about two years"

March 2018: "I think probably by end of next year [end of 2019] self-driving will encompass essentially all modes of driving and be at least 100% to 200% safer than a person."

Nov 15, 2018: "Probably technically be able to [self deliver Teslas to customers doors] in about a year then its up to the regulators"

Feb 19 2019: "We will be feature complete full self driving this year. The car will be able to find you in a parking lot, pick you up, take you all the way to your destination without an intervention this year. I'm certain of that. That is not a question mark. It will be essentially safe to fall asleep and wake up at their destination towards the end of next year"

April 12th 2019: "I'd be shocked if not next year, at the latest that having the person, having human intervene will decrease safety. DECREASE! (in response to human supervision and adding driver monitoring system)"

April 22nd 2019: "We expect to be feature complete in self driving this year, and we expect to be confident enough from our standpoint to say that we think people do not need to touch the wheel and can look out the window sometime probably around the second quarter of next year."

April 22nd 2019: “We will have more than one million robotaxis on the road,” Musk said. “A year from now, we’ll have over a million cars with full self-driving, software... everything."

May 9th 2019: "We could have gamed an LA/NY Autopilot journey last year, but when we do it this year, everyone with Tesla Full Self-Driving will be able to do it too"

Dec 1, 2020: “I am extremely confident of achieving full autonomy and releasing it to the Tesla customer base next year. But I think at least some jurisdictions are going to allow full self-driving next year.”

The (rushed) original floppy release was 320x200 only. The (much better) CD-ROM version released later in 1994 supported 320x200, 320x400, 640x400, and 640x480. (Although good luck playing at the higher resolutions on typical machines of the time :-)
Yes but that is unrelated to net neutrality.

NN doesn't prevent a carrier from offering a plan with Unlimited* data where the asterisk means "up to 25GB at maximum speed, lowered to 128/64 Kbps after exceeding the limit, until the end of billing period".

It would prevent the carrier from not counting certain traffic in the data usage or not limiting the speed of some traffic after the data limit is reached.
> Im not sure who's right here, you said there was a law to adjudicate student forgiveness, but the article states that congress never passed any rule reversing executive action on the matter.

The executive action didn't technically erase the legal process, it just created administrative barriers to recovery and limited the amount of recovery to less than the full amount at issue even where all the hoops it erected were jumped through.

That borrower defense to repayment is an existing legal process has never been in dispute.

> So, if executive action by trump's cabinet was responsible for eliminating the existing process

It was not, the process wasn't eliminated it was just made less effective.
