Your first link pretty much says it all: barebones website 5 years out of date, no docs, no resources, no community links, no indication that this project is even alive. To top it off the project is named after one of the most annoying creatures on the face of the Earth. This is a marketing issue.

The problem for older languages is that the bar for what's expected of a language has risen substantially. A long time ago, languages weren't even expected to have implementations. Today, not only are implementations expected for all major platforms, languages are also expected to run on phones and the browser, include package managers and library repositories, have a language server implementation and editing modes for all major IDEs, be open source with active development, provide extensive documentation on the scale of a book, and also promote a vibrant and active community. Oh, and to top it off, users don't want to pay for any of that. It's just expected, which is why most languages these days only come out of large tech companies that can afford to fund all of the above with no expectation of profit.

I disagree.

If you use a tool like Figma and you DON'T want the cloud features you have to pay a sub for ever.

If you have 100s of sketch files they work forever without needing to pay any continued fees.

I have sketch files from 5+ years ago i can still open with my copy of Sketch but with Figma, having over 2(?) files in a "project" requires a subscription.

I like that they give you options and you can find the one that works for you. Running collaborative cloud features isnt free for them, so i understand paying for it.

I DO NOT understand paying a monthly fee for a tool that never uses "the cloud" and i wish more tools had this kind of model.

You can only be useful as an ideas guy if you're smarter or more knowledgeable than everyone else. Everyone knows that, and that's why calling yourself and "ideas person" is received in exactly the same way that calling yourself the smartest person in the room is received: with some eye-rolling.
remove "pub" from your godbolt. Zig/godbolt is identifying that you're trying to build a full program and so it brings in a lot of the boilerplate necessary to launch a program (for example, the panic handler, stdlib stuff to format strings for the panic handler, etc).
This is really important.

30% of someone making minimum wage isn't the same thing as 30% of someone making 500k/year.

I'm fairly well off. If housing took 70% of my after-tax income, I'd still be able to live reasonably well (and would have one hell of a badass home to go with it).

My food, my phone, my electricity bill, my insurance, my transportation, they cost me the same as they cost someone else living in the same city making 1/4th of the money. Since real estate is wealth storage at worse and an investment at best, I can pour everything else I make it into it. It's not particularly optimal, but I -can- do it if I so choose.

The end result is that money available for housing goes up in a curve as you go up the income bracket. People below the threshold get screwed.

Full disclosure: I used to work in Uber's infrastructure group.

I'm always happy to see improvements to Go's profiling - the standard library's profiling is good, but it hasn't improved much since Go 1.0 (it took years just to get flame graphs integrated, and it's still near-impossible to get a usable dump of the in-memory object graph).

That said, I'm _very_ wary of tools that require a fork of the compiler and/or runtime. Uber's programming language research group is small (though mighty) and has a lot of demands on their time. Even over the medium term, it'll be hard to allocate time to keep this project current.

In the Go issue tracker, there's a long discussion [1] of the formal proposal [2] for these improvements. My understanding of the feedback is that the changes introduce too many Linux and x86-specific APIs. I'd love to see the author narrow the proposal to just improve timer fidelity when the OS exposes the PMU, without any new APIs. The more controversial proposal to collect richer platform- and architecture-specific data can be discussed separately.

It's also a very incorrect video about Rust. For example binary bloat isn't an issue and can be trimmed to quite a small size as needed based on the platform. Ignorance on your part in producing the video doesn't make Rust bad.

I don't think this is entirely fair. I'd invite you to at least listen to what local public health officials were dealing with:

A significant and vocal portion of the country thinks its okay to bully and berate officials.

Anna Maria Barry-Jester: "People are not willing to be governed," at least not by officials who ask them to make sacrifices for their neighbors. And as a result, the officials, trying to govern us are quitting in droves. Since the beginning of the pandemic, nearly 250 public health officials working in communities all over the US have left their jobs, many because of threats and political pushback.

Nearly one in six Americans now lives in a community that has lost its local health department leader during the pandemic, officials like Mimi and Gail. It's the largest exodus of health officials in US history.
Funny, it describes the opposite of me. When the high-level idea people start talking, I have already phased out. It seems somewhat useless to me, they spend so many hours talking about possibilities that shatter at the first contact with the real world. Without at least a bit of practical time to attempt things and fail, I am basically useless at design.
"The creativity tools of the app can prove very useful, the simplest idea that comes to my mind is a recruiter creating a TikTok video and says something like "Show me something that you learn in your career as X that isn't taught in school" and have the TikToker's quote and reply to the video. The recruiters then can go through the replies and pick candidates for interviewing"

This sounds like the very worst parts of LinkedIn, but with more video and far more social pressure.
> So in 1990 you could get a mustang for $20k, and if instead you stuffed 20k in you mattress for 30 years, you could now buy a base model Kia, which when all the positives and negatives are added up delivers similar value to the features of a 1990 mustang.

Yep this was my point. We can see if the CPI is being calculated correctly by comparing cars which had the same price in each year and see if they really are about as good as each other. Whether you want to call this 'inflation for cars' is just semantics.

(The original article says a Mustang in 1990 cost $9000, but I've also found sources for $10000 and $20000 so you might be right on that point.)
That and hopefully competition from the rest of the world
of course your mileage may vary. Renting is more expensive because it is offloading risk in other ways. I don't need to keep a repair fund for a new roof, or a new dishwasher, or a new furnace. Housing is exceptionally illiquid with a 6 percent+ haircut whenever one decides to sell. In california, specifically, a repeal of proposition 13 would destroy both the value of homes home and tax bills would skyrocket.

Risk is priced in to both asset classes. Nothing is set in stone.

The leaked database of a fake review marketplace might be to blame here.
The "how to start" point resonates with my experience. There's a cohort of "idea" people who are efficient at anticipating and clearing obstacles (including those that occur at inception around "how to start") without actually being all that great at executing those adjustments.

I think we value that type of contribution (often allocating it to leaders, though every contributor does it to some extent) even though it might not materialize as "doing" anything.

I imagine the set of volunteers willing to commit just an hour in advance to being available for, say, the following two hours, is much more massive than the set of volunteers able to commit to continuity for weeks or months. But continuity of mentorship and long-term trust can be absolutely critical for many learners.

Do you see yourselves taking a hybrid approach to this to optimize on that spectrum? Can someone get involved if their schedule is too unpredictable to do anything but the former? As a startup cofounder who would love to teach, I’m very much asking for myself :)
Of course the best teams ended up like this - it means there were many many different explicit negotiations that didn't need to happen.

I think the harder problem to solve is mediocre teams, and mediocre management - all well meaning folks. I'd really like to see programming succeed with a mediocre team.
On a related note there are documents called "Bills of Mortality" showing weekly deaths during the plague in London during 1665 ( the year before the Great Fire ) which list the causes. There some descriptions we'd recognise and other would be a surprise to die from these days, such as "Teeth" - 113 in the week of the linked image.

>>Software that is not actively maintained (which is expensive) eventually stops working

Funny because I know many many many business that run entirely on old unmaintained code, code that can not be maintained because upgrading it will break things, will make things stop working.
Allocating/deallocating memory has a cost, if you can afford to just add more memory that's faster than any clever memory management solution you have.
I don't think this device can do any of that, right?
So now you're saying that the tweet Snopes responded to may not be unequivocally true, but there is some other tweet that was circulating about Rosenberg at the same time, circulating at least as widely as this one, that is unequivocally true?

In the absence of evidence for such a tweet, why should I consider the Snopes fact check a 'weakman'?

As for minutiae, that's the whole point of fact checking, to care about minutiae and not whether a statement just generally feels right. It's not about whether Rosenberg is or was a good person, it's about whether the specific claim made about her was unequivocally true.
No, the theory is that a zero day was used on Ulbricht and they knew he was guilty for a long time. Things like seizing the laptop was just theater to construct a parallel trail of evidence for the courts.

Same. And I don’t worry about having enough work, or whether or not my big idea will work.

In the great subscription exodus of 2018, about 10-15 of my apps moved to this "sustainable" subscription model. Only two are still being maintained with proper new features and improved (those would be 1Password and Jetbrains tooling).

All the other apps pretty much stopped feature work and are now mostly more broken than they were before switching to the subscription model. There's an occasional update, but it's all pretty much dead.

So out of that deal I (as a user) have gotten pretty much nothing - the developer is constantly taking my money with nothing to offer in return. If I stop paying, they'll take away the app I've paid for.

Compare this to something like VMWare Fusion or Parallels Desktop model - I pay license every year to get support for new OS and new feature. But it's MY choice whether I want to pay and if the updates actually offer me VALUE for the money.

And this keeps us honest - honest money for honest value delivered with incentive for developer to keep maintaining their software and not just sitting on their rent-seeking vendor lockin. It seriously sucks that Apple and Google don't allow for that sales model in their stores - it makes the market worse for all of us.
As someone who implemented over 70 different indicators and close to 20 tools for drawing Gann fans, Fibonacci retracements and so on, I've heard a similar thing about technical analysis and astrology and very much concur :)
People have a really weird idea of the timelines here. Blue Origin's first serious rocket was New Shepard, launched in 2015. It has been six years since then, and New Glenn, a rocket more ambitious than SLS or Vulcan Centaur or even Falcon 9, is due in under two years. The rocket has been delayed, but only by two years, which is typical for rockets of any sort, even SpaceX rockets.

This is not a weirdly slow pace.

The reason Blue Origin is behind SpaceX is that SpaceX built their first serious rocket in 2006, 9 years before New Shepard. Blue Origin was founded a long time ago but they spent most of that as a low-budget think-tank style operation.

That’s the beauty of TikTok. the rich don’t necessarily get richer. You will often be presented with fresh people, AFAIK they spread out new content to measure response.

It’s not really the type of platform that everyone watches the same most popular people.

It’s refreshing that doesn’t push for “more from the same” .
No, Jesus didn’t. Jesus did, however, use a rhetorical device to emphasize that the rich could become worthy of heaven only by humbling themselves.
117 million downloads every month.

1 cent a download = 117,000,000 cents = $1,170,000.

So the project is dying because they cannot get every downloader to pay 1 cent for every download.

Even at 1/10 cent it would still come to $117,000

This is how screwed up open source is.

An advanced technological industry which doesn't have infrastructure in place to collect fractions of cents per product delivery.

Why can't the software be downloaded using an API using a key you have to pay for or something?

Elon Musk is also doing that, with tesla - not just the cars but with the batteries and solarcity too.
Is it really a pivot or just offering a new product in addition to the existing one?

Now you can have an offline tool you pay for once or pay monthly to get all the bells and whistles figma has.

To me it feels like a win-win - I don't personally want a sub but my company will. They moved from Sketch to figma for those features and dont mind monthly fees. Personally, I dont use it often enough to justify a monthly fee so im glad the copy i bought a few years ago still works just fine.

The article states that hierarchy is innate to human beings and links to Jordan Peterson as a reference?! This is a core belief of conservative thinking and is a political posture, not a scientific truth.

Hierarchies are a characteristic of agricultural societies and almost completely absent in hunter gatherer societies that precede it. Hunter gatherer societies are typically egalitarian.

During the Obama administration, he put out an executive order for Federal Gov't agencies to open up their datasets. There were hardcore standards set, APIs, certain formats, etc. This is the same initiative that created data.gov. It was revolutionary and groundbreaking, and the various federal agencies essentially ignored it, and were allowed to.

I'm talking about a full executive order, and I had a lot of expertise and was being tasked with helping agencies, including the VA and DOE, open up their data. HHS was also part of this.

I was immediately blocked in all of these agencies with foot-dragging, and a complacent, "I couldn't give a fuck" attitude. They didn't care about enacting the order, because unlike me, they all knew that there would be no consequences for not doing so. They didn't do it, and there were no consequences.

I voted for Obama twice, but one of the things I noticed about his administration was that they weren't willing to strike fear into the hearts of bureaucrats who undermined their objectives. Another executive program he pushed, for properly integrating military health systems with the VA's health systems, was also actively ignored by the VA, with zero consequences. That experience was the final straw for me to leave and join the private sector, and get out of DC permanently.

Looking at the Person class in the article, which has just a “name” property with String type…

I think if you mutate that string from multiple threads — like by appending to it — you would get crashes pretty easily.

I’m really not sure if you would see crashes if you simply access and assign to the name property (rather than mutating the value it is pointing to). I have not seen guarantees on this. Maybe I missed it, but if not, even if it appears to work today, it may not tomorrow.
I think you should entertain the possibility that not all that salary gap is explained by geography. I suspect that one of three things would have to be true of either you or the two hypothetical devs:

1. You are really bad at salary negotiation.

2. You would be willing to take an enormous (> 50%) salary hit to work on Babel compared to what you could get in industry.

3. You are insufficiently skilled to lead a project like Babel.

This is based on the conjecture that a suitable lead for Babel should have no problem finding a FAANG job and doing a quick search for average FAANG salaries in the UK.

It was probably some efficiency involved in having computer clerks running mainframes for calculations and card deck (database) processing.

Nowadays people are supposed to do their own Excel sheets and use complex internal systems, instead of letting specialists do it.

So devs are way more efficient but are too fine dining to do every day Excel.
It very much depends on the source - palm oil is a disaster but if there are alternatives it seems like it would be a net win for CO2 if you could avoid additional fossil fuel extraction. I’m thinking of a guy I knew who used to process oil from a local restaurant’s deep fryer – that would be problematic getting the formulation right for an advanced car engine but my (possibly completely incorrect) understanding is that marine Diesel engines are a lot simpler and there isn’t an obvious path for short-term replacement the way there is for an EV.

The post gives an specific technical limitation for why Nova wouldn't be possible due to iOS apps store policies. So they wouldn't be able to make a subscription version even if they wanted to?

> The biggest technical hurdle is the inability to run external processes on iOS and iPadOS. There’s just no way around it: this is required for modern web development. For example, the TypeScript extension is one of the most popular Nova extensions right now, and it launches and runs the TypeScript compiler. While we could attempt to build the TypeScript compiler into Nova, we can’t possibly anticipate and include every such tool that might be needed by a developer. We’d need to bundle compilers, interpreters, and language servers for just about every programming language in existence, not to mention tools like linters, JavaScript transpilers, and bundlers. The scope would quickly become unmanageable, and we’d always be lagging behind the latest versions of these tools.
