I started off professionally writing Perl 5. A few comments.

Perl 5 fails in separate areas.

* no standard OO system
* no standard exception system
* no standard module system
* context-driven polymorphism
* the standard library didn't have JSON and a few other key needs built in, so dragging in CPAN all the time was a hassle.

The first three issues generate maintenance issues that are not found in other languages that are roughly isomorphic. The fourth generates bugs. The fifth generates deployment problems out of line with its competitors.

Perl is also, as alluded to elsewhere, an expert tool. Those have not fared well for the past 25 years, sadly. Hopefully in the next 25 years, as the industry matures and stratifies, experts will have the opportunity to select and use difficult but high quality tools on the regular.

The Perl 6 horse got put together for another ritual beating, I see. Have at it.

Sigils and the other ideas from linguistics are a notion which I believe will be adopted down the road more and more. I see them as one of the best syntactic ideas of Perl, although the context-shifting use of them (@ vs $) is something I see as bug-prone.
A buddy of mine does this for dating sites (don't ask).
It's also a strength on the demand prediction side which is typically done by marketing not the manufacturing side of the business.

Yes, I know Cook came from Compaq for his supply chain chops, but there are amazing supply chain folks elsewhere in the industry. On this dimension Apple is in a class by itself. Perhaps that fixation does come from Cook, as supply chain wizards typically don't rise that high in the corporate chain.
I’ve always admired Java for managing to slowly but surely move the language forward while maintaining backwards compatibility and keeping the community together. When you look at how many other languages have faltered and lost momentum due to transition issues (Perl 6, Python 2/3), it really shows have difficult of a task it is.

Progress can seem glacially slow at times - it’s always disappointing to see your favorite upcoming feature get pushed to a later release - but the current language is undeniably light years better than what we started with.

Isn't that because a lot of their vaccines get shipped all over the world? We need doses for ~7B people in total. I don't see anything there that says they're planning on administering multiple vaccination rounds per person.

Check out Frama-C/Alt-Ergo/Why3 projects. They address this directly.

I think I'm oversimplifying it, but as I understand they write the entire prover as a proof theorum itself, then use an alternative prover to prove the original theorum, then they write the program and use the proofs to proof itself.

Lots of good academia surrounding that portion of it. Further, assuming I'm reading your implication correctly, languages like Go, Rust or Zig do NOT have formal verification properties to them. They definitely have some neat anti-footgun tools, but they are very far away from formally specified code.
Is this GrapesJS ;) ?
I also find it surprising that Hardware Engineers have a lower pay scale (Although I didn't hear very big differences like you said). Is there some kind of supply-demand behind this? Engineers for car-related things as well.
Anecdotally I think you could in theory get a title change to software engineer, while doing the same thing, to get more pay.
The technical details are way out of my league, but I remember reading that stack copying can be made really cheap somehow? Perhaps due to the JVM having more abstraction below a virtual thread than Go?

For me, the thing that will always define cryptocurrencies was what occurred a few years ago at a datacenter I frequent.

Someone had built-out a cage with 50 to 60 really nice high-end racks of shiny, new bitcoin mining hardware. Snazzy logos, brushed steel chassis and lots of blue LEDs (I think the LEDs are required, in order to be cool). The structured cabling was a work of art. They really went the extra mile to look good.

These machines crunched away for maybe a month, and the next time I visited the datacenter, every machine in the cage was turned off and dark. No more blue LEDs. They stayed that way for months, until the datacenter needed the floor space and carted the junk away. I believe the hardware was recycled, I don't know who got the racks.

I dug into the story a little and found that the company hadn't paid their power bill. I believe that the hardware wasn't paid for, either, but it was not as efficient as newer hardware and not useful to anyone, so they just left it.

Scammers and waste, all the way down.
The hype around Rust is largely justified. There. I said it.

Rust is nowhere near perfect. It's also supposed to be a systems language- it was probably not originally intended to replace languages like Java for general "app" development.

But it's so much better of a language than most of the higher level languages you see in popular use: Java, PHP, JavaScript, Python, etc, that people are actually willing to deal with the lack of garbage collection just to get to use its excellent type system and well-designed standard library API. I think that says a lot about Rust and the programming language environment today.
This paper assumes a classic Lisp dialect with no lexical scope, represented by MuLisp, in which parameters are passed by saving and restoring variables.

What is worse is that it doesn't even acknowledge the existence of lexical scoping in Lisp. There is no statement about why they are optimizing dynamic scope using a hardware register file, rather than focusing on state-of-the-art lexical scope. Like, maybe it is applicable to lexical scoping too. If it is, which is likely the case, what a shame not to have remarks about that.

Optimizing dynamically scoped variables with hardware may have some intellectual puzzle-solving tidbits in it, whereby a problem is stated and some correct solution is derived, but it has no practical value. It's a fools errand, like retrofitting a turbo-charger onto a gas powered lawn mower, so that it cuts grass faster, instead of making more obviously effective changes, such as giving it larger blades and turning it into a miniature car that can be driven by the operator.

I now regret linking to this.

Sure, a new wave of cases, but will it translate to deaths? My understanding is that most deaths come from 20% of population and we have vaccinated over 30%.
The Firefox-for-Postmarket-OS modifications don’t really patch Firefox in a way that can be upstreamed. They are merely UI settings that disable some elements that would take up too much space on the screen, and much of Firefox's UI still won't work regardless. Only significant work on upstream Firefox itself would make a difference, and neither Mozilla nor Purism have the manpower for that.
Events are another excellent place to find targets to interview. For example, if you work in security, go to RSA and just bug people in booths or wherever.

> If every government in the world is printing money like crazy, how is this "stable".

It's not stable for most governments, and they risk an inflationary crisis if they go too far.

But the US government is a bit different: the dollar is backed up on one side by Saudi oil exports and OPEC agreements to reinvest profits into US Treasury bonds. And on the other side is the Fifth Fleet.

Howso? A running process won't affect your current env, and changing your current env doesn't affect the running process.
When exactly would you benefit from overloading based on a generic type? How come it is never brought up with Haskell for example, or the other majority of languages that employ type erasure?
Correct. That’s what the video states.
As per usual, MIT is conspicuously absent from the list of compromised schools.
We don't really have enough contact tracing data to reliably conclude that that many younger people contracted the virus through participating in sports activities, as opposed to other activities. That seems like unscientific and irresponsible speculation.
$12 trillion

Take a look at where the money went. Buying $800 billion of mortgage backed securities and 1.96 trillion in long term treasuries. A lot of other line items. 1.54 trillion in Loan and Grant Programs. You can argue that these somehow all of these trickled down to keeping businesses open, as perfectly designed by the masters of the universe that have only our interests at heart, but I'm skeptical. I personally think a lot of these were designed to reinflate asset prices for the already wealthy capital holders. Why is it that asset prices re-inflated to pre-covid levels? Is the future prospects of these enterprises somehow much higher than pre-covid? How does this make sense?

Well, two shots a year, probably, maybe less.

The real reason the EU needs this kind of capacity is that the current EU vaccination campaign is going very poorly. Most of the population will only get vaccinated late in summer and autumn, so the yearly capacity needs to be appropriate to at least get it done this year and before the next flu season.

Oh, and the EU produces vaccines for a lot of others like UK, Israel and the US, as well as most third-world-countries. Imports into the EU are neglegible.

Thanks. Good to know. Might I find out why you signed up?
I love that in Arabic, China is a metaphor for "far away," and in Chinese, China is basically "the central place." I am hoping to find out that the Pashto or Hindu for China means "medium far away."
I can't believe people are accepting it in canada either. I'm hoping that people will start to push back more as restrictions move from temporary to systematic, but so far I see very little evidence of this. Possibly just because the media refuses to cover it.
It's an export market, and the vaccines they are using require 2 doses.

Yep. Give it a one line error description and it turn into stack trace longer than "War and Peace".
With checker framework, you can basically have it (and much much more, I believe no other language comes close to that level of static analysis). It is annotation-based and not a fancy keyword, but it is there.
Are you serious? About a third of my job is frontend with typescript. The rest is backend and some application dev and embedded. Frontend is seriously the worst environment. It's great if the magic works. But that's the easy part. Once something breaks, and it will, you have to descend to the seventh circle of hell to figure out where something in this mount everest of tooling and dependencies broke.

I love the idea of frontend dev. But the tooling takes all of the fun out of it.
I would love to see how this was implemented. Is this on GitHub or equivalent somewhere?
Roku | Senior Software Engineer | Boston, MA or San Jose, CA | Fulltime | https://www.roku.com/

Whether you’re a dedicated streamer or still clinging to the cord, by now you know that Roku is the #1 streaming platform in North America (with our sights set on helping the world cut the cord). But what is it like to work at a company that expects to grow by 50% in 2021? We chatted with Software Engineering Director Hugo du Plooy in our San Jose office and he told us what something surprising: Roku’s success is all based on working together as a team rather than as a collection of egos. https://youtu.be/TQf8c8U-P2k

In this role you will work as a key member of Data Activation team. You will design, develop, and operate components of our system to create a privacy compliant and performant way to manage data using big data technologies like Druid, Map-Reduce, Hive/Presto, Kafka, Spark, and Aerospike. You’ll also participate in the creation of REST APIs for accessing the system by 3rd parties.

I completely disagree.

I didn't pay $80 for an editor that doesn't provide updates. I paid $70 for 5 years use of an editor that has updated a major version and a few minor versions and that I've installed on many workstations and VMs through the years. I use it every day so I'm glad I paid.

The parent commentor said they are already using it and will continue to do so without paying. Neither of you need to pay for the editor if you don't like it. Just use a different one.

You should record it as ordinary income.

I don't see how that makes May 15 and beyond look any worse. A wave now means more organic immunity as well as more tranmission in the short term. But with so many vulnerable people already vaccinated, and so much organic immunity already, do you really think it will be a six-week-long wave?

Probably not. And in 6 weeks, that just means millions more will be vaccinated and younger people will have even more organic immunity.

In other words, there may be another surge, but it will probably be the last one, and probably over by May 15.

Again, non expert, don't cough on people, etc.
No, it was not "stolen", nor have they (Namecheap) "taken it hostage".

"we were required to put these domains in the custody of the court" - which is something quite different.

You may well have a legitimate gripe with Facebook, but Namecheap are simply following the orders of a court of law. What other action do you think Namecheap could take here?
