I always find it surprising how little small illicit operations usually make. At the high end this is only barely more than the US minimum wage (between three people). Amazing for where they live, but awful in the grand scheme of things.

Agreed mod_perl was a bigger problem in the critical time period than Perl 6. Perl 6 just made it so it was less likely anyone would fix the situation.

Can’t say I agree with the idea, but it’s certainly interesting to consider and at the least should help strengthen or discard a few assumptions!

I think he’s conflating the process with all the other human factors involved. Sure, Galileo maybe did some shady stuff to convince people of his arguments. But that in no way makes a telescope stop working the way it does.

> The idea that “enemies” of classical liberalism (or even adherents outside of the mercantile elites) have nothing to be afraid of from it is only true at the level of bland platitudes

I agree that there's things to lose, but I don't think the achievement that the enemies of an ideology should not be put to death should be underestimated! Sure there's things you lose, but there's a lot of things that you were historically at risk of losing when your ideology lost, that you aren't anymore. Like your life, your children, your self-determination. To me that's an achievement well worth protecting and celebrating.

I think inasmuch as that's a bland platitude it's because we've forgotten how bad it was. The guillotine is a tasteless internet joke now.

The J&J vaccine having lower effectiveness makes sense. Unlike the mRNA vaccines which use lipid nanoparticles as their delivery mechanism, the J&J vaccine uses an adenovirus. Some fraction of the population has immunity to this adenovirus due previous exposure to similar viruses. That means the delivery mechanism won't be nearly as effective for those people. It also means that booster shots won't be nearly as effective since everyone who gets the J&J vaccine will be immune to the adenovirus. For higher booster effectiveness, they'll probably have to choose a different adenovirus.

Obviously if you can get any vaccine, do so! But to claim that we can't possibly compare vaccines is silly. Yes the trials have differences, but they're not so different as to make us totally ignorant. We can use the trial data plus knowledge of the mechanism of action to make solid bets on relative effectiveness.

I started a project with Perl as the primary language recently (couple of years ago) because it has remained stable for 20+ years.

The lack of breaking changes between releases, so common in other languages, was a major selling point for me.

Just about every other language I've used, as a high-level coder, would not have stood up to 20 years, but Perl has.

I think of it as a feature-complete language, enough to get what I want done without making me worry about migrations when "old" syntax is "deprecated".

I still start my Perl scripts with "use 5.010", and it is enough for me to generate HTML from text and do whatever else in between.

Very well said. Funny enough, reading this comment in addition to the main article has greatly helped my understanding of the genre. I liked some of the 'pre-modern' stuff while in college but I could never get into the 'free-verse', 'spoken word' deal we have to day. Just personal preference I guess.

Agreed !

Current reactive code is littered with async/await for every IO function, which feels like they are trying to bolt reactive behavior. Library-based threading model provide the sync thinking with optimized async compute model.

> Because if it's a one time fee, there will be no recurring income and the developer will have to stop development.

I’ve bought software for decades and reality disagrees with you.

There’s software that I’ve bought as a one time fee years ago that still releases small maintenance patches. I don’t want to run your business for you, but there’s typically multiple products and the work developing new paid major updates or other products allows for some small amount of maintenance.

A really niche product called Moneydance has done this well, I think, and I’ve used them since 2009. I think I’ve paid $50-100 once or twice but would never pay a monthly fee. It’s software that runs on my desktop.

It’s certainly possible, but some companies think they make more money with monthly subs. And they might.

I had a very bad case of this condition. After a lot of searching, I came across many common themes for solutions. There is one primary solution - stretching out your neck.

The muscles in your neck become tight due to keyboard work, and the pain radiates to your wrists. It’s often misdiagnosed as carpel tunnel or similar.

As I searched for info I came across a litany of temporary solutions that scared me: ice, anti-inflammatories (some people popping many ibuprofen or similar per day), wrist braces, expensive surgery.

When I started stretching, I could barely move my head to touch my ear to my shoulder. My neck was incredibly stiff. Do this test yourself.

Stretch your neck out, multiple times per day. 30 seconds or more per stretch, and there are 4 really core stretches. There is a set of stretches I can share via PDF in a PM. I should put them on a website or similar.

In addition, take many micro breaks throughout the day - relax your arms to your side, let your shoulders come back. Just let the blood flow. These micro breaks can be only 15 or more seconds.

Other things people suggest here can help - ergonomics (chairs or desks, mice, speech-to-text programs), working out, etc.) but in my opinion the source is tight muscles in your neck.

I learned all this from Rick Mahaffey of Peninsula RSI in the Bay Area. His practice is not there anymore, but he changed my life and I’m sure the life of many other keyboard workers with his simple and cheap method of stretches. For a while he was a go-to for local FAANG insurance companies when workers had RSIs.

I see your point, and that's a valid concern. I wonder how much damage public PR does to investors - who are supposed to be highly informed and not be pursued by public hype.
My interest is purely from avoiding further unpleasantness from catching COVID19. I took the J&J vaccine and ended up around 103F fever for a few hours so I have an inkling if I end up in the 28% who still has symptoms when catching COVID19, would I go through another bout of fevers and chills. Of course I could ride it out, but if I had the opportunity to avoid, I would!
Ironically, it seems random logic may have been scaling better than SRAM recently...

> More seriously, what are you missing in Go that is well-done in Java?

As cliche as it is to say, Go missing generics (for the time being) does hold it back in many ways relative to Java. I like and use both languages regularly, and as I thought about my answer to this question I realized that essentially all of my complaints stem from the lack of generics - things like streams, a rich collection framework, and non-channel concurrency features (java.util.concurrent among them) don't exist in go because you can build them as generically as needed for them to be useful.

You might have said "well-done" as a way of excluding generics in Java since many people like to suggest they're not well done; of course most developers would like more, but they already enable an enormous amount of stuff not possible in Go.
Of course you have a point. There is hypocrisy. Unfortunately it is difficult to express this without flames. Political polarity also plays a role.
How were you parsing XML? I've never found it to be a difficult task.

XML::LibXML is a nice wrapper around libXML.

XML::Twig is great if you need to process huge files.

XML::Rabbit will seamlessly map your XML into objects.

There are things to criticise Perl for, like idiosyncratic argument handling in subroutines or the use of weird punctuation variables, but to call out XML parsing as particularly hard is questionable.

Take a look at this example from https://grantm.github.io/perl-libxml-by-example/basics.html

use XML::LibXML;

my $filename = 'playlist.xml';

my $dom = XML::LibXML->load_xml(location => $filename);

foreach my $title ($dom->findnodes('/playlist/movie/title'))
{
say $title->to_literal();
}

How is that particularly difficult?
Docker doesn't do that. You can create a .env file, but it only reads the options you give it, Docker never writes/caches to that file.
I would use it in a commercial setting, but the emails don’t make me money. So I don’t think this license is ok for me.

Specifically, every once in a while I send out product updates to groups of people inside my org.

I'm not going to go deep on this right now because I don't have the emotional will to type out the entire story but my in-laws have kinda fallen off the "trust healthcare professionals" boat over the last couple of years.

This pandemic has really shined a light on their lack of trust in institutions, and while they both got the J&J vax, they are proactively sending me and my partner literature about why mRNA is dangerous / should be avoided / how it's all a big plot to... X/Y/Z.

They're not crazy, I swear. In fact if you sat and had a conversation with either of them, you'd think they were some intelligent / kind people. But for some reason, I have to spend way more time than I care to combating misinformation they send us to the point where we had a harsh talk recently that we need them to stop bringing it up or we'll cut off communication for a bit.

If I had to take a guess... they got to retirement with too much free time on their hands, so they spend all day on their phones reading crap they see on the internet. They might have had their initial biases, but when they see a headline that strengthens the bias they can't get enough.
Homebound | Senior Front-end / Full-Stack Engineers | Full-time | Denver or Remote (US-only)

Homebound’s mission is to create a more delightful and efficient home building experience and we’re already delivering on that mission on places that need it the most: communities impacted by devastating natural disasters. We were founded after the Tubbs Fire [2] which destroyed thousands of homes in Sonoma, Napa, and Lake County, and threatened our CEO's home [3], and are deeply connected to the mission. We are also expanding into markets that are non-disaster markets.

Recognized by Forbes as #2 Great Startup Employer in Real Estate[4], Homebound is a "full-stack startup"[1] and the technology org builds software to make the home building process more modern, transparent, affordable, and rapid. The challenge and opportunity for engineers at Homebound is to build delightful experiences for a range of different types of users -- from homeowners to construction professionals. We are still a small (<25) tech org and are looking for key contributors who have both strong skills and also a passion for establishing best practices for our future Homebound teammates. We are dedicated to building a team based around three principals: community, craftsmanship, and communication.

We'd love to connect with mission-driven, quality-oriented engineers and engineering managers with strong written and verbal skills. . Email joinengineering@homebound.com or direct to me at donnie@homebound.com.
