> Look you can claim that "having the necessary metadata for garbage collection and reflection in a statically-compiled language takes up a significant amount of space" but without clear evidence of how much space that is, with proper accounting of byte usage, this claim is non-falsifiable and thus of doubtful value.

I respectfully disagree. I believe there is value in pointing out the false claims in a long blog post even when there isn't time to write a full-length rebuttal.

I guess we can agree to disagree. You can absolutely experience ego death in this range (or at least 'ego-shaking'). An 1/8th is pretty normal yeah for the typical recreational user, but I don't think that's a great benchmark for a science experiment. Lots of people have scary unpleasant experiences with an 1/8 or less.

Humans have technology like medical care and a lack of natural predators that substantially mitigates any impact gene pool deficiencies might cause, whereas wild animals do not. So there's no real danger that the human population will collapse without eugenics. That isn't true of the wild. This changes the ethical calculus quite a bit.
Grant was more than a movie star, but also a symbol of movie-stardom. He's a prototype of the romantic male lead.

His name appears in dozens of song lyrics[1], many of them from after his death. Many are in other languages, and he's often paired with a similarly famous female star (Bette Davis, Audrey Hepburn).

I suspect many people have heard of him even if they can't name a single film he was in.

There is no greater sin than to say something positive about Java on the orange site...

IMO Java and C# and other compiled languages have the opposite problem with languages like python and JavaScript (I love all these languages btw). It’s easy to get up and running quickly with the latter. It’s not until your project has grown in complexity when the formers value becomes apparent. This is similar to mongodb vs say, Postgres.

Also modern Java has picked up a lot of the better ideas from Kotlin and Scala. I still prefer Kotlin but I think a lot of criticism I read is referring to older versions of Java.
I think you've got a point here. Not sure why, but many businesses I've seen here don't seem to be bothered at all about pushing themselves onto the next level. The competition doesn't seem to be too intense either,as I can't see how companies could stay alive with what often looks like they've been stuck in early 90s. There are literally sector after sector, where a decent injection of capital could wipe out any competition.

If your site does not call document.interestCohort() or include ads, Chrome will already not consider your site in computing FLoC:

A page visit will be included in the browser's FLoC calculation if document.interestCohort() is used on the page. During the current FLoC origin trial, a page will also be included in the calculation if Chrome detects that the page load ads or ads-related resources. -- https://web.dev/floc/

Detecting "ads or ads-related resources" uses a filter derived from EasyList: https://github.com/chromium/chromium-ads-detection/blob/mast...

Well Java is arguably one of the most IDE-reliant mainstream languages. It's completely unusable and unergonomic without the myriad of constant code generation and fixing as you write.

Treating the IDE like a separate problem is not realistic with java.

With e.g. Rust, I can use vim, vscode, whatever floats your boat.

I left Java due to the culture.

I actually think the core language is great. And under Suns management Java was largely what golang is today; it was the pragmatic choice and it put the focus back onto writing code and away from complicated language features.

Then IBM stepped in with JEE, and it completely transformed Java into a language for bureaucrats and over-complicators. JEEs ethos was that the programmer is stupid and that the framework saves the programmer from their own stupidity. Not the greatest of ideas if you ask me.

Sane people jumped to newer languages. I tried to stick around and argue against bureaucracy, but in the end I realized the pointlessness of it all.

Now I'm ironically back with c++, but still the community is much purer and focusing much more on actual coding than snake oil.

Still write Java on my spare time and love it for it's relative ease of use, speed, and clarity. Not the most portable, ironically, but my language of choice for prototyping.

Java still has some true high quality libraries in it. I'm yet to find a good replacement for Doug Leas concurrency libraries in other languages. And the containers are great. And despite all the flak it gets, I actually think Swing is really good for whipping up a simple UI.

From rfc801 (transition from NCP to TCP/IP) :
"FTP: This is specified in RFC 765. It is very similar to the FTP used with the NCP. The primary differences are that in addition to the changes for Telnet, that the data channel is limited to 8-bit bytes so FTP features to use other transmission byte sizes are eliminated."

So FTP is older than the standardisation of byte size :-)

> You keep saying the incentive is so people go to the site to watch a particular video. But nothing keeps that video on that one site.

No, that's not what I'm saying, and I don't know what gave you that idea. The phrase "original content" never even appeared in my comments!

People visit to online video platforms to watch videos. If there are no interesting videos, people don't visit online video platforms: they go and do something else with their time. And if people don't visit your online video platform, operators of online video platforms lose money, and go out of business. Consequently, operators of online video platforms have an incentive to ensure that interesting videos get made. This is true even when all videos are available on all the platforms. Same principle: one of my siblings operates a rural hotel, and regularly contributes to a fund promoting tourism in the region. Doing this is a net positive for her revenue, even though some (most!) of the tourists will not stay in that specific hotel when they visit the region, and some might stay in hotels that did not contribute to any such fund.

> If what you say is right, how far has ThePirateBay gone to produce original content?

TPB has to operate illegally, has an order of magnitude fewer visitors, and two orders of magnitude smaller revenue. They are not in the position to fund substantial original content, and those who accepted their money would risk prosecution. Despite all of that, TPB did fund a limited number of art projects in the past [1].

> Oh that's right, they just take Hollywood content and ads flow just fine. That's the future you're fighting for.

Heartbreaking injustice. No comment.

Maybe, but OTOH we have very efficient 3D rendering technology that we understand very well. If I had more compute, I'd want to raytrace everything in real-time, but I wouldn't feel the need to bring neural networks into the mix. A better use case of machine learning is probably to help procedurally generate the data to be rendered. It would be really neat to be able to turn a few photos of a real-world location into high quality 3D meshes with no gaps, for example.
> But evidently, by the way people talk about ordering everything from Amazon (despite its numerous problems) and look at you like you have three heads if you talk about going to even say just Target.com, there seems to be some counterintuitive hurdle for switching websites that's actually worse than for physical stores.

I think there is truth to this since I personally for a long time would go to Amazon for everything. Over time I have shifted to using them less and less.

However I think it’s just a matter of consumer maturity. Apple Pay has done a lot to make it easier for me to buy from 3rd party websites. There is a lot of money to be made in services to help the rest of the web be more competitive to Amazon. We are just at a certain stage in the cycle.

That’s what concerns me about getting the government involved. These ‘monopolies’ have arisen very quickly - on the order of a decade. Things can change in the marketplace just as fast.

Can you elaborate? It's my understanding that Monero uses ring signatures and that it's impossible to tell which key actually signed the transaction. It's also impossible to correlate multiple transactions without external metadata such as exchange records. This implies there's no way to compute intersections of the set of keys in all related transactions until only one element remains.
in that case you can happily static-link c++ programs, which probably will be smaller than go binary.
The truth about my life as a developer in an investment bank
hi! very cool article (and language!)

something I'd like your input on: from what I understand one of the biggest advantages of concatenative languages is their ease of refactoring ‘since functions can be trivially split and recombined along any syntactic boundary’ (as you wrote). but with the named stacks, we might still need to do some renaming, right? (with some splitting discipline it shouldn't be necessary, I'd say.) or is there something I missed?
Hmm.. I'd argue you need that 'melt-your-fucking-face' experience to truly experience breakthrough. But then again, people react differently to everything
> I wasn't a big fan of the Covid tracing app in the beginning, but in retrospect the concept of that app seems miles ahead of the current situation with the Luca app.

I think the concept behind is really solid and a great example for what is possible w/o invading privacy. The only problem is that development got very very slow after the initial release and a lot of potential was wasted. E.g. adding some kind of check in feature was already discussed mid last year but it took them until now to pick that idea up.

I walk my cat on a leash (am on a walk now) and he is the first cat I’ve not allowed outside on his own.

Cat walking and the belief you’ve espoused is extremely decisive, but not for the reason you’ve said.

Letting your cat roam free is a tacit acknowledgment that one doesn’t really care that much for the animal, because they will make time to monitor it.

I’m certain it makes no sense that cats are allowed to roam free, no more than dogs.

But it has taken many years for me to get to this position.

I have followed Apple architecture since the 128k Mac and the Lisa. They have studiously avoided breaking all apps at the same time. To wit, the 68k to Intel migration for many was recompiling with Xcode, and some code review per Apple guidelines. They actually went to great lengths to give you tools to ensure your migration went as smoothly as possible, where the OS interface was concerned.

Ask HN: Hardware startups – how did you choose your location?
I am trying to determine the best location for my hardware startup. Looking around the US, there doesn't seem to be much around NYC or SF areas for startups who need to prototype, build, and manufacture products more complicated than RGB sunglasses and IoT watering systems for pets. Austin seems like a possibility with access to all the necessary skills and tools but I'm unfamiliar with the area. I also know of companies with tangentially similar manufacturing requirements (e.g. System76) are located in Denver.

Our product is niche for industrial customers, not intended for the general public. Usage of plastic is essentially a non-requirement beyond early prototypes, where the final needs stainless steel and some soft metals to attain product ratings/certifications. In our case the final assembly for the product must be done by one or more specialized (certified well beyond ISO 9001) outsourced contract facilities - so supply-chain/logistics and shipping weight are bigger factors in the deciding location. Another major consideration is that we don't have a strong need to be in close physical proximity to our potential global customer base, only talent and tooling nearby.

I understand that prototyping and production are two very different activities with very different needs. Where are some good options for those who want to prototype devices without relocating later for manufacturing ramp-up / inventory / tax purposes? If you are a HW company - niche or otherwise (or considering building one) - why did you choose your location?
I'm not sure what you mean since a government agency who is responsible for consumer competition and conduct took Google to court and won?

They did their job. To challenge dodgy practices, and get courts to uphold the law. I'm not sure what else you want them to do.
Good point regarding tooling, metal, and tolerances.

But in this hypothetical timeline they would’ve hand-made the first leaky and inefficient engine if someone with some clout had the idea for a piston back then.

Humans aren't the only species to tend to their injured. Even some ants do that. The motivation is still debatable - is it done selflessly or because cooperation improves our own chances? Could that mean empathy is just an evolved impulse to help ourselves that was naturally selected? In some animals there may be an element of maintaining appearances that complicates things further. But there's no evidence to suggest that we aren't animals too or that the line we draw to separate less from 'more' isn't just drawn in some arbitrary place.

You changed the name of the company to match the renamed client?
