Those features (except for nullability types) predate Java, let alone Scala and Kotlin, by a couple of decades. Those three -- like all programming languages -- get inspiration from similar sources. Java is just the most conservative of the three with regards to language features.
I don't disagree with your conclusion. But your comment communicates no argument against Spring and how the trade-offs it makes make it a poor option for new projects.
Not sure (IANAL) if buying a piece of hardware constitutes "freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her" (GDPR).

"Consent means giving people genuine choice and control over how you use their data. If the individual has no real choice, consent is not freely given and it will be invalid." and "This means people must be able to refuse consent without detriment, and must be able to withdraw consent easily at any time. It also means consent should be unbundled from other terms and conditions (including giving separate granular consent options for different types of processing) wherever possible." (ICO commentary)

Of course, this only applies wherever the GDPR applies.

The era of big government is back with a vengeance
One thing I find interesting in the analysis is the claim that crypto-currencies do not have effective short selling opportunities requiring a "long only" strategy. That is interesting as it seems like one of the few contracts that Etherium should provide, if one trusted any particular "stablecoin". Furthermore, it does seem that Binance (and probably others) do allow some shorting opportunities.
Because when you bet on the those lotteries with millions or billions of dollars it somehow transcends gambling into doing business.
So high tech crypto is the solution to making trading with the developing world easier? Aren’t these the same sorts of places which struggle to have reliable electricity, let alone internet access?

You should try setting your user agent to default block javascript + cookies. It's actually not that bad. I'm not a zealot, I just whitelist sites as I come across them that don't work without those things. In the end, most websites I visit work better without javascript/cookies rather than degrading in performance. For example basically every newspaper that prevents you from reading too many articles lets you read as many as you want without javascript running.

FTA:

In hotspot regions like Toronto, the new measures are very similar to restrictions that are already in place. At a news conference Thursday afternoon, Health Minister Christine Elliott said that the province did not issue a stay-at-home order like the one from the start of the year, because the last time officials saw that it had "tremendous ill effect on children and adults."

Many stores were already doing curbside pickup only, or already limiting capacity for in-store shopping, so this lockdown isn't really all that much of a difference than the current status quo. The meat of this order is to limit social gatherings, which has been a sort of Achilles heel in Ontario's policy IMHO.

At the end of day, the infection rates have started going up again, the vaccine rollout has been somewhat slow, and "something must be done, this is something, therefore it must be done".

Hopefully it's enough.
Got it. I appreciate the explanation.

C# and Java are kind of in the same space, they tend to pick up the same kind of features. But not always in the same way e.g. Records are different between the two languages. As is the path to Async.

Java benefits from more experimentation in the JVM and bigger variety in implementers.

I need to find the funny slide deck by Brian Goetz (java language architect at Oracle) where in slide one (what industry thinks he does) he shows his job is to copy from C# and in slide two he shows what academia thinks he does, copy from scala ;)

I'm an atheist. I also have a degree in comp sci a degree in Mathematics and a master's degree in mathematics. I read arxiv daily. I love science, I read constantly. Watching the cutting edge of science from afar is a passion of mine. I like to try to hold a holistic vision of it all in my head - an impossible task, but it keeps me busy.

So, I'm not an enemy of science, I just dislike people harping on about 'impossible' from behind their keyboards when they have little more than a rudimentary knowledge of the subject at hand and too high an opinion of authority.
Frameworks like Spring/Spring Boot kind of force that as well with their runtime creation of proxy classes.

Show HN: Ultimate Startup Apparel–Founder friendly clothing
We built Capbase to make life easier for founders, and we take that mission seriously.

Capbase started out on a mission to simplify the process of starting a startup for founders. We realized there is a bigger problem that needs to be solved first: founder fashion. When you are thinking about starting a startup, looking like a startup founder probably isn’t top of mind. But a founder’s fashion choices can make the difference between a failed startup and a unicorn.

Say hello to Ultimate Startup Apparel: https://shop.capbase.com

We have designed founder-friendly clothing and home goods that make your startup more fundable and unlock maximum productivity for employees.

For too long, clothing has not been founder-friendly.

Do you really feel secure carrying your crypto cold-storage device in your pants? Probably not. That’s why we carry the Startup Sac-Visor, where you can store things like your cold storage device on your head.

Let’s play out another scenario: you are about to sit down for a meal and you want to sanitize your hands. Your only solution is Purell, which is a legacy, broken business model. Instead, you can use our Startups hand sanitizer, which has been formulated using state-of-the-art testing procedures. (The creator of Purell’s step-nephew is on our advisory board). It’s actually now insane to think about using a hand sanitizer that doesn’t align with your personal brand.

Stripe always talks about expanding the GDP of the internet, but what about expanding the GDP of branding?

It’s a strongly held company belief that everything in your personal life should be an extension of your professional life. Your car should tell people that you work for a startup. If you are getting married and you haven’t pitched to the wedding party? You are falling behind.

These are table stakes in today’s world.

So why would you wear clothing that doesn’t reflect this reality?

People wear a Polo pony because it’s aspirational: polo represents a glamorous segment of American society. And the name is simple and straightforward: it’s just “Polo”.

But that era is coming to a close. Startup founders are the new polo players.

Our vision is to create clothing that our children will be excited to wear. Our job is not complete until we see a family walking down the street in matching Startup outfits.

Yeah, Google Maps is pretty useless for EV cars. I wonder why they care about indoor navigation and pickup stuff so much, when EV cars is the thing of this decade.
The true argument should have been that it's more efficient (for everyone involved). Which would have invited the honest debate between the relative merits of resilience vs efficiency.
> This reminds me of advice I give to junior devs who over-complicate things in the planning phase: "Start with the stupidest thing that will work".

> You need to make something work before you can make it work well. You need to start simple before you dig into the complexity. Sometimes you find that the "stupid" solution is good enough.

100% true.

People love to dig at Test Driven Development, but it solves a common problem and is great for junior developers because it has 3 important rules.

1. Understand your requirements. And not in a wishy-washy hand-wavey way. But in an explicit, expressed as a single test verifiable/falsifiable requirement.

2. Implement the simplest solution that meets your requirements. Don't over-engineer anything, don't chase the latest fad, don't sleeve solve a way more complicated generic problem that you think we'll hit later, because you don't have enough experience to know how likely we are to hit it and the costs to make that tradeoff.

3. Keep you codebase clean and well factored. Don't let cruft and hacks build up.

Ignoring TDD, any junior engineer that can consistently exhibit those three behaviors is almost by no longer a junior engineer. Those are hard things to learn as an early coder.

Yes as you become mid-level and senior you should be more independent and break the above often - but at that point you have good foundations and the experience to make the tradeoffs to know when to deviate and by how much.

TDD is a very effective method for solving a problem that otherwise often takes a while to solve. Developing good fundamentals.
I always feel like a fish out of the water when talking about money-related subjects, so I looked up what the actual definition of fiat money is, and followed a dozen or so different sources.

Unless I am mistaken, it seems like cryptocurrencies that currently exist can all be called fiduciary money but not fiat money, as the fiat term seems to tightly connect with government decrees and issuing. There might be a form of crypto out there officially issued or backed by decree by governments, but the major known ones aren't AFAIK. Do you have examples in mind?

(This short summary seems to correlate with all I've read: https://quickonomics.com/different-types-of-money/ )

If that is the case (crypto != fiat), then I would have trouble understanding what your argument is.
Modern testing frameworks can indeed mock concrete classes, which beats the bytecode generation that Spring would be doing anyway.
Given the past few months have seen conditions that led to abnormally low "E" that are not expected to be repeated, and at the same time the amount of cash available to inflate "P" increased dramatically... maybe?

>Persuading someone to read an article which is irrelevant to them is likely a bad thing.

You're conflating content targeting with headline writing. Those are two separate points.

>Just because you don’t have a good metric for something doesn’t mean that what you can measure is better.

Certainly, if a metric is 'bad' in that it is not producing results, nobody wants to waste their time and keep using it. However, the engagement metric is producing results for many folks. Do you disagree with that?

>A metric can simply lead to bad results, and thefore be a bad metric.

Anything "can" lead to anything. That doesn't really make for much of a discussion without data to examine.
There was definitely an era where Perl had way more mindshare than Python. It was the winner of the snowball effect.

That's... that's the whole point.
The problem in 2021 (and 2022 and 2023, etc) is that the app will break over time.

OS updates will break a small piece of functionality. Critical security vulnerabilities will be discovered that need to be patched. If the developer abandons the application because it isn't earning new revenue, the application will eventually degrade over time.

I don't have a good answer here, because I also don't like the SASS billing model for desktop software, but I recognize that a "one-time purchase" rarely actually terminates the relationship at the time of purchase. People expect ongoing bug-fixes, and security patches even for desktop software.

I believe this is a major reason. Demographic shift.

Perl grew to prominence when being a creole of C, shell, sed, awk, and lisp was an advantage. Anyone who might reasonably use it would be familiar with at least a few of these tools.

Now, we live in a very different world. JavaScript is the new BASIC. Everyone has JsBASIC installed on their (virtual) machines. So that's what people learn on their own. Python and Java are closer to JS so, the transition is easier (at least superficially--I could argue that JS and Perl a lot in common, designwise).

> I do see value in a crypto that's pinned at a weighted average of every single currencies' worldwide weight, but it's a perfectly stable currency

If every government in the world is printing money like crazy, how is this "stable". In the US, 23% of the money supply was created in the last year, with no visible inflation (excluding asset prices, home, energy, etc). God knows what it'll be 5 years from now

What has been "stimulated" by the US creating 12 trillion in new asset besides re-inflating stock prices?

It reminds me of a joke about a group being really hungry so deciding to slice their pizza into 10 slices as opposed to 8. Money is supposed to be a unit of account. I think you can try to play games with it but in the end you're messing with complex systems with a high probability of creating unintended consequences (e.g. credit crisis, bail out, hyperinflation etc).
I love this direction. I was studying homotopy a couple years back with this intention.

Embedding functional relationships is the future
In short, yes.

To expand on that a bit, this shortest path is known as a geodesic and one of the more important axioms of general relativity is that all laws of physics are preserved locally when traveling along a geodesic. In particular all such observers should measure the same speed of light, since it's a simple property of electrodynamics. Interestingly they won't measure the same CMB, showing that the local part is important.

New cryptos are being minted all the time. If a government wanted to issue more fiat as a crypto token it could do so directly.
