I think it comes down to the fact that the predominate view of programming languages is that they are math and tools for conducting science/business. English was the lingua-fraca for science/business long before programming languages were around so it might have followed naturally that programming languages should be localized in English as well.

But it's hard to say, there are a lot of cultural elements at play. We see one right here in this very language that is trying to escape the English domain -- it doesn't have support for character accents native to the language it's trying to support. This limitation probably derives from the days when bytes were highly expensive, so character encodings had to be frugal with their use of memory. With one byte you can encode enough characters for the English alphabet, numbers, symbols, and control characters, but you're not going to have enough for all the combinations of accents. Just look at what went into the extended ASCII table: they made room for some common accented characters from western nations, but also allocated precious space for copyrights, trademarks, fractions, legal symbols, more mathematical operators, and currency symbols of the largest nations. More than a purely technical decision, this is a statement of priorities.

Again you see programming-as-math/science playing a role here; character encodings for mathematical symbols were given priority, but characters that could be used for communicating in other languages were disregarded. This is likely because the kinds of applications people were looking to use programming languages for were based in math/science, so those symbols were viewed as indispensable. I'm not saying this was wrong, btw, I'm just saying that's the way these things evolved.

This very early (circa 1960) decision still has rippling consequences even today, so it's clear momentum of early choices in computing plays a large role here.
> the supposed point of crypto is to reducing the reliance on, and grifting from, companies like Coinbase

That was the pitch of crypto. In practice, people are buying it as a bet that it will go up. I suspect most people are only buying it because the value is going up. If bitcoin actually worked like a currency and traded between $8k and $12 for the past 5 years, no one would care.

This sounds compelling but Covid also seems to produce long run risks in about 10% of those who get it, not to mention the deaths. You’re only looking at one side of the ledger but could make all the same points with more frequency on the other side.

Given that Astrazenca has the same issue, and given that both vaccines use Adenoviruses (known to cause clotting issues) then it is a reasonable bet the J and J issues are like AZ. Those are similar to Heparin induced clotting and Germany’s Erlich institute has given guidelines for treatment.

This is a new asset class, investors are going to dig deep and understand it. They will certainly have access to more data and analysis than the average student.

However, if the government were to start to guarantee the loans and the volume hit an impossible level, and people got used to minimal defaults for 20 years then that would lay the groundwork for the type of disaster you suggest.

Best analogy I have is vaguely RPG like. Let's say "normal" is 0, and the medication at a given dosage adds, say, +5.

So people without ADHD, take Ritalin, hit 5, get a buzz, smash out that project.

Then there's people with ADHD, who're starting at -5. They take the drugs, hit 0, don't get a buzz, and maybe actually start that project now that they're better able to ignore the delights of Wikipedia articles on the role of headwear for class signaling in Victorian England.

Nope, this is like if higher models of Teslas had a more in-depth mode on the display for a couple of years. When you first buy your lower model, during the on-boarding process with the dealer, they walk you through the setup process and ask if you'd like the standard view or the more detailed one. You say you want the more detailed one.

Then six months later Tesla pushes out a software update overnight that removes that view and offers no way to restore the old one, or start your car, or unlock it.

> Realistically, what's far more important than the language of the keywords is the language of the rest of the identifiers.

Exactly. Or the doc.

Having a standard library with a localized doc would probably help out learners way more than localizing some keywords. As one gets further and further away from the standard library, the doc increasingly won't be localized but by then the reader should know enough "engineering English" to get by.
There are leaps of logic here that do not compute.

For one, I would not trust any news that comes out about India right now. Both sides of reporting are so heavily colored by ideology, that most reports might as well be pledges of allegiance rather than sources of information. India's biggest boom came during 1991 (liberalization) which was a failure of democracy pushed through during a political and economic crisis. (Domestic terrorist assassination of popular leader + IMF threatening India to liberalize against popular opinion).

If anything, the economic failures of Modi showcase the problems of large democracies. It always devolves into populism and procedural in-action, where major changes can only be done by stealth; and thus haphazardly.

> North Korea, Zimbabwe, Pakistan and India

It has to be a cruel joke to mention India with 3 failed military states, when it has one of the the strongest election commissions in the world.

> concentration of power and wealth in the hands of selected few

Given that India was run by 1 family for 60 years, the burden of Proof is on you to show that the current Govt. has a greater concentration of wealth. India has always had a concentration of power in a few hands. It's just that the current bearers of that power are disliked by western elites.

PS: I do not particularly love Modi. His economic policies have been shoddy and I would prefer someone less tied to a narrow view of hinduism. But, the Indian opposition right now is more incompetent than fish climbing a tree.

Could not be farther away from the truth. Each of these govts inserted themselves strongly into personal life and their growth came during a short duration of strong authoritarianism.

My answer is correct.

Yes of course WASM is a VM of some kind, that should be obvious enough i.e. people are not running machine code in WASM.

My response indicated that if you want to run JS on WASM you have to build another VM on top of WASM (which you indicated is already a VM, sure).

To do JS in WASM you'd have to build something like V8 (a VM) on top of WASM.

The relational model describes a relational algebra, which in turn specifies a "relation" (often called a table) to be a set of tuples (rows), and "relational operators" that accept and return relations. And the relational algebra is complete in the sense that it can express all queries expressible by predicate logic + types and changes through a small set of operations.

The relational model adds constraints, state, and a mechanism for first-class derived relations (updateable views).

And while you can stick anything with a well-defined equality in a relation, including other relations, the point of the relational algebra is to describe structure using relations, thus making it all accessible to relational operators. In a properly normalized database, all structure can be manipulated through a common set of operations.

So you could, e.g. create a relation with a single JSON attribute and call it a day. But now, in addition to the relational operators, you need a whole mess of JSON operators to query it.

Thus, while you could have a sum type, you don't need this because you can put the various summands into separate relations. For instance, the simple case of booleans:

Persons(key id: int, name: str, is_tall: bool)
... noramlizes to ...
Persons(key id: int, name: str)
TallPersons(key id: int)

Or for an Either:

Persons(key id: int, name: str, zing: either<int, str>)
... noramlizes to ...
Persons(key id: int, name: str)
LeftPersons(key id: int, zing: int)
RightPersons(key id: int, zing: str)
AssertEmpty: LeftPersons{key} & RightPersons{key}

What you really want your database to do is to let you enter that first "Persons" table with the sum type. That should logically be a derived table that is backed by the normalized tables.

Then, you'd get the simplicity of entering Persons.insert(key=5, name='bob', zing=Left(5)), but that's simply an updateable view. It will really update the base tables Persons / LeftPersons with simple atomic values.
My read on the article is that they're considering two different frameworks: one where everything that comes out of the mixer is considered fractionally dirty based on the inputs. Or, randomly picking an output and tainting it 100% under the "FIFO" method.

The idea isn't necessarily to de-anonymize the transactions here but to disincentivize people from using mixers. Either a haircut kills a portion of your value, or you lose it all, the idea is you won't do that again.

That doesn't change that legally it still kills all your money, and creates a liability on the person who put in the dirty money. If you figure out who they are it's all you, you're welcome to sue them. If not, you've learned a hard lesson.

I'm fine with either.

Similar thought from me. My personal feeling is that the best founder advice comes from people who failed at least once (preferably more than once) before succeeding. And the best employee advice comes from people who've worked at a combination of "good" and "bad" companies. It's hard to have enough perspective to formulate good advice when your sample size is 1 (which could have been mostly luck).

Some ideas:

Be humble. I don't mean talk yourself down, but keep in mind we all are still learning.

Be open to feedback. Know the purpose and something about the audience. Make an outline (at least). Think it over. Have enough written that if you get stuck or have a memory lapse, you aren't just done. Learn the material well enough that you can look at the audience, and talk to them like they are other humans (maybe even some are friends). Know the time limit and stop on time.

And then what isn't to be confident about? We're all capable of thinking and of being nervous, and of saying what we think in an organized way then sitting down.

I wrote more at my site (buried there somewhere). I hope some info there on speaking can be useful (it is to me, it is how I work it out, when preparing to speak), whether because of or in spite of the religious content, as I had speaking in Church mainly in mind (in mine, anyone might be asked to speak, from a young age, though of course one can decline).

A friend from my past went to toastmasters, mentioned here, and now hosts a weekly radio show on ~ bluegrass/folk/world music. (gregharness.com)

Edits: But for ad-hoc settings, like conversations and meetings?: I am still working on that too. I think people are just different in those situations, some who tend to think fast, or deeply, or different levels of desiring to consider facts before speaking, or different levels or kinds of courtesy. Some prefer long meetings, others short; email vs. interruptions. Among the main universal desirables I can see are honesty, effort, and kindness, and observing people and situations. I have made many notes and reminders of things I am trying, like things to try to always remember, that help me. Sometimes I just fall back to "I have to think it over and can get back to you", or maybe "That doesn't sound right [or good], but I need to think about how best to articulate it." If people are so unkind as to not accept that, perhaps they need to see an example of honesty and kindness over time, while we all keep doing our best.

Listening and considering others' perspective are also key (without it, we end up at war or something). I also find it helpful to put myself in the shoes of the audience (or of others) and go through the process mentally, rehearsing in a loose way, to just imagine how it might go -- corrections and ideas often come up that way. Also imagining being the audience: what questions come to mind if you want to pick it apart? Then mentally practice an appropriate/helpful response. Mental practice of a challenging situation is really helpful -- maybe there's some better name for doing that -- how it could go, how you want it to go, how it could fail, what you would do to address the failure and move on so "no problem", etc.

The first step is to have a good coder who can organize their commits into simple self-contained small steps that can be reviewed individually. Then your job gets 10000% easier. If I giant mess of a commit ends up assigned to me I just send it back or stall. If you want my attention you have to help me help you.

The Linux Kernel communities have a lot of good advice on both writing self-contained patches and properly reviewing things.

As an extra advice, code reviews can often feel very personal and are a sensitive topic. Always make sure to be impersonal: instead of "you did this and that, which is not correct" try to go with "the code does this and that, which is not correct", and "we should do that" instead of "you should do that".

I'm not sure it was exactly analogous to a microphone or a different lock in the physical world. The bad actors installed reverse shells, the shells could have been sitting idle, but they could have also have been in active use by the bad actors. In the physical world, cops have exigent circumstance rules that would allow them to go inside a residence in cases like that. Their first priority isn't normally making sure that the home owner won't be annoyed. But in this case, the fbi obtained a warrant since this is a gray zone.

Yes, it would have been more courteous of them to have notified people before they took the action, but the notifications could have prompted evasive actions by the bad actors if those notifications went public.

I doubt the fbi had sinister intentions about abusing anyone's rights. These were nation state bad actors, not just some kid in Virginia. If they kept their word about what they would and would not touch in the warrant, then I don't see why it's so bad that they proactively protect their citizens. China has had free reign to hack our businesses and it seems good to me that our government is standing up for those businesses and trying to help them some.

Except currencies have much bigger market caps, it wouldn't have worked as a currency in that range (outside of a very small economy). We are now in the initial phase where it's being used as a store of value, but sooner or later, it's going to reach roughly it's true value at which point, you would expect it to behave more like a currency rather than an asset with a huge upside.
