As someone who recently learned Go as well as Rust, I would definitely say they are very different (but both great!)

Go is way more minimalist and easy to quickly get some code going.

Rust has a lot more moving parts when writing, so it takes more thought to write, but it’s great for large projects because it’s fast and its features make it scalable (with a lot less worry about bugs).
Perhaps worth pointing out for general awareness that trial by jury has nothing to do with democracy, per se. Not all democracies do it, and it was (is) a pretty unique thing about the American system of checks and balances at the time it was enshrined in the sixth and seventh Amendments of our Constitution. Jury trials can exist with or without democracy.

To your point about different time and place, yes, but that’s the system: the jury you get, absent a mistrial, is the jury you get and their opinion is what decides what you deserve by definition (absent new evidence, appeals, etc, within the confines of sentencing regulation, etc.).

Perhaps what you’re after is that there’s no universally objective standard of what a person deserves for their actions, given all the myriad influences and conditions that lead to a particular moment in a person’s life, and which may lessen that persons agency. Therefore the judgement of society is imperfect in the sense that it cannot adequately grasp all these attributes, and may give attributes differing weight based on something as small as whether their eggs were over cooked that morning. So for a person to use the word “deserves” with authority is flawed because a person or people cannot render a perfectly objective judgement.

I think you’ll find that this is an argument as old as time, but whether by birth or immigration, people living in a system operate by its rules, and the word “deserve” reflects the authority of a society to bring down punishment on scofflaws. Like when I tell you something is “cold” we need not debate the true principle of what cold means, you assume to context. So should you assume context for the word “deserves”. Society has never achieved perfection in balancing agency and justice but herein lies a predictable truism - if you run around with a band stabbing others so severely that some die and by luck some don’t, society will determine ya dun f’d up.
We take care of children, old people, disabled people, and others that can't take care of themselves. We will likely have to take care of low skilled individuals who can't do a job better or more economically than a robot. Universal Basic Income is one proposed solution but faces opposition due the attitude that able bodied people should have to work for a living. This becomes harder and harder for people who can't learn to keep up and get left behind. The need for UBI seems like a forgone conclusion at this point.

That's likely the point.
Those who like to use the antisemitic label as a cudgel to stifle discussion on a topic care, and use it as such. This is a such a good example, because despite his first hand experiences, anytime you say the words "jewish bolshevism" together, as he does, you become a target of such a label. Just go look at the wikipedia entry for it, and you would walk away thinking the label is correct! (the truth however, is far separated from wikipedia on controversial subjects)
Here is my perspective: There are plenty of reasons to use the same language on FE and BE but for me the main problem is the JS standard library.

Let me give you one example:

Lets say you want to validate if a string is a valid URL.
What is a good way to do this in JS?

Just for reference in Ruby for example I can do:

URI.parse(input).kind_of?(URI::HTTP)

No gems or any other engines needed.

It’s definitely pretty hard to determine how long someone should be punished for multiple murder. I expect the most capable would be the judge and jury, so it’s hard to improve on that decades later with minimal information.

So life for multiple murder by a 15 year old doesn’t strike up my curiosity for optimizing the sentencing. Unless there’s lots more info. This article didn’t provide any and since the journalist would likely research to make a good article, I expect there’s not any compelling narrative.
So what is your native mobile engineering team doing now?
No one should have a computer science degree and not know multiple languages and multiple programming paradigms. Prolog, lisp or scheme, C, JavaScript, Haskell. The long term task of the professional software developer is to learn new stuff. Helps if your awareness of the cool things you could learn is already broad. I cannot explain how wrong it is to graduate with Java only and think that is sufficient. To be honest, I would also want people to understand the halting problem and Godel’s incompleteness theorem’s proof, as understanding the equivalence of apparent different systems that can handle the integers is very fundamental. And these days some knowledge of distributed theory is also good, the Lamport time clocks paper and so on. Unless the student is ambitious and doesn’t really like programming and just wants to program for a few years and then get into management or something like that (product? bizdev? I’d that a thing?) they will go thru many iterations of interesting new technologies. The brain that enjoys learning mind-bending shit will have a broader conceptual base and a better chance to see how lisp macro type things can help with k8s configs.

Or while lazy argument evaluation might not be in your language, having it in your tool box for message processing design or you know evaluation of user preference rule sets against an event might be helpful.
> I meant I could be wrong, ...

Your post is remarkably un-informed. Even cnn.com, a leftist organ, says the following:

The border states are facing record illegal immigration, to the extent all their police forces are buried in trying to do something about it.

This was caused by 3 things:

1) Democratic policy is to not enforce immigration policy in the expectation that illegal immigrants will vote Dem later. (There was a study done in the Obama administration that 80% of illegals would vote Dem.) This subverts our immigration laws for the benefit of one party at the expense of the nation.

2) Biden telling illegal immigrants to come north in speeches. This is based on his policy team believing "it's compassionate to allow illegal immigrants in", but no well-governed country allows that.

The EU tried unrestricted economic migration from Africa, and it's an unfolding disaster. We should learn from that. (Poland and Hungary avoided the ruinous expense of housing unemployed migrants by building walls to enforce their immigration policies.)

Biden's stated policy is that he wants to solve the problem at the root, namely by improving the economies in Mexico and South America. It's laughable since we can build a wall, but we can't fix broken foreign economies.

3) Trump started building the wall because it was needed. But see points #1 and #2 about why Biden stopped that.

There's somewhere around 100,000 children abandoned inside the US border because there is no wall, and the families hope the children will reunite with existing family members in the US.
And importantly, because they're text, they can live in a version-controlled environment. I mainly use them within Confluence, and even there you can diff between versions to see changes.
This is not yet possible in Typescript, but imagine if you could define a numerical subtype that requires your input be below some threshold eg:

`type Limit = 0..100;`

See discussion here: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/15480
I don't see how you can possibly justify that view. That atoms and stars are not human creations, technology is.

Denying the existence of things because you can't measure them objectively is lunacy that if you follow to it's logical conclusion will take you to nihilism and epistemic surrender.
No, I have to. The treatment is not available on NHS and I would be dead without it.
> it's nice to avoid burdening beginners with extra syntax when they're already struggling to learn other things

As someone that teaches college students to program (not in a CS department) that statement is correct but doesn't provide the full picture. It's good to get rid of the extra syntax if and only if you don't need it - and that means you're intentionally limiting what you're teaching them.
> It is fraud and is a predatory practice preying on people's ignorance and gullibility.

Not just that, but these kinds of practices (e.g. homeopathy etc too) they specifically prey on the sick and weakest members of society.
hi, @cle! Curious to hear more about that, were they actually running validation/assertions in constructors?
So npm gives you warnings about vulnerabilities and that's a bad thing?

You notice you have thousands of outdated dependencies and that's a bad thing?

I used to work a lot with python years ago, and the only reasons we didn't have this problems was because the packages management was so terrible that you didn't even notice you had to update dependencies or that they had vulnerabilities.

There's like an uncanny valley[0] of fiction (I'm lumping Astrology in with fiction) where just enough truth makes it feel all the way true. Sometimes it's creepy in the way that robotics' uncanny valley is, but other times it's not, it's almost validating. If you want to manipulate people, this is where you need to lead them.

Yes but where is Lisp market share? It's mostly an academic language these days.

If anything Lisp current adoption proves that aiming to tackle both ends of the spectrum in a single language might not be a good idea.
C# just removed the requirement to start code with a class or a main method; you can just start typing into the file.
Couldn't disagree more. I was a Java programmer for my entire career until about 2015 or so when I switched to Node, and shortly thereafter to TypeScript.

I've commented this many times before, but having a system where everything is on the same tech stack (i.e. front end in TypeScript with React, back end with TypeScript on Node) has resulted in gargantuan productivity gains, especially for a small team where it's trivial for people to cross front end to back end seamlessly. For contrast, I know many teams with a backend in Python and a frontent in React/JS, and I've worked on some teams with that setup. In my opinion it's virtually all downside compared to a backend in TS, as Python and TS are quite similar from a web programming perspective (I'm not referring to Python's advantage in data science tooling), so all it basically is is a barrier to your front end folks being able to make small enhancements on the backend quickly.

Furthermore, TypeScript is a great language and I find myself being so much more productive in it than I was in Java, especially when it comes to refactoring.

JavaScript most definitely has its warts and head scratchers after being around for 25 years, but I feel like most of these oddities (truthy/falsey, typeof null === 'object', undefined vs. null, etc.) can be learned in an hour and written on a half page.
It would be very interesting to compare the satisfaction levels of astrologers' customers with those of more credentialed therapists.

According to the blog post, they said their payment server had been seized. The payment server must hold or have send-access to a Bitcoin wallet if it can make payments. By seizing their payment server, they also siezed the Bitcoins.
Right now being in contrast to the 18th and 19th century mentioned in the quote I was responding to from the article. Between quartz and the spring drive hybridization I would argue that great innovation has come since the 18th and 19th century and watchmakers from Japan have “matched them”.

That said I do agree with you that in today’s world innovation in high precision independent time keeping has stopped. A radio controlled relatively accurate quartz watch will keep excellent time with no user intervention over many years.
I had a similar experience with a Santeria Priestess in Santiago Cuba. She had a sign out front and I consulted for a lark, seemed to describe me to a T.

Years later in Boston I saw a sign advertising psychic readings. So I went in and sat for a reading. But with one difference. This time I resolved to make no expression or affirmative commentary whatsoever. I kept a neutral gaze, and at most I would say “I see” if she was waiting for a reply.

The reader was flustered, and nothing seemed accurate. Of course for a true experiment I’d have to go back and visit the priestess, but I suspect she was simply good at reading me.

Note that it isn’t necessarily a useless practice. I believe the priestess picked up on one aspect of my personality I hadn’t noticed. It had stuck out as a wrong description, but years later a major personal experience let me see it was actually quite accurate.

Again nothing earth shattering, I just think she noticed something about me no one had outright said. So, someone skilled in human nature, good at reading people and well motivated could actually provide a valuable service for some people
> Perhaps worth pointing out for general awareness that trial by jury has nothing to do with democracy, per se. Not all democracies do it, and it was (is) a pretty unique thing about the American system of checks and balances at the time it was enshrined in the sixth and seventh Amendments of our Constitution.

It was adopted directly from the British system; Americans had some recent experience with and anger about being subjected to fairly novel (at least in their breadth of application in the colonies) exceptions to the norm of trial by jury and the guarantee reflected a reaction against that experience, but trial by jury wasn’t an American innovation.
In some ways I don’t care what people do as long as it doesn’t hurt others. I’m just sad to see money that can be used to push tech forward and given to a real project, being given to something so fake. As an aside, since you mentioned it, I would also be sad to see VC money going towards a company that worked to expand the impact of chiropractors for the same reason, but as you say, there’s nothing to be done if it is a consensual transaction.
I can imagine that the original argument does not apply to the languages which compile to JS. But IMO the fact that there is so many derived languages covering the mess which JS is only supports the argument against it.
I don’t think anyone disagrees with that.
Good luck, people get downvoted for the mildest opinions. I don’t doubt comments like yours get straight up flagged.
It might be an instinct in the sense that language is an instinct. It just arises in every society even if you start a new one that is free of a common language / a religion.
They do. You can even see it on HN if you want. Find a post about Freeman Dyson and scroll the comments until you get to the section where fanboys rabidly defend his "don't worry about climate change because technology will just fix it" approach.

>It doesn't matter if export are restricted because of "America first" or because of an outright ban. The result is exactly the same.

Being the first to buy something, and being in a position to buy all of the supply (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-24/biden-use... ), is not the same thing as enacting a law to prevent other countries from buying some. Admittedly to the other countries the outcome is the same, but there is a difference.

Further, I specifically said vaccines. The US did invoke the Defense Production Act for certain medical equipment, to make sure its contracts are fulfilled first. But, let me quote from https://www.ft.com/content/82fa8fb4-a867-4005-b6c2-a79969139... , "The DPA does not allow the administration to block exports overseas".

The US's contracts would be fulfilled first regardless (albeit more slowly) without the DPA, because (as I said) the US was the first and paid the most. The US's Pfizer contract explicitly prohibited the company from exporting US-produced vaccine doses until March 31, but the company only began to export US-produced doses at the end of April because it still had to fulfill said US contract first. https://www.barrons.com/articles/pfizer-to-export-u-s-made-v...
Yes, in 1800, even in more developed countries at the time, about 30% of kids died by age 5. And being pregnant was frequently fatal as well, with nearly 1 in 10 pregnancies killing the mom.
It is a foregone conclusion only because of assumptions that conspire to make the argument circular.

I think you’re mischaracterizing some part of the opposition with “should have to work”. To my school of UBI skepticism, it’s not at all about Lutheran work ethic as a deontological good.

To clarify: I don’t believe we take care of elderly/disabled/children solely because it’s “the right thing to do”. Instead I believe we do it due to other conditions e.g. “it could be me one day” and “it’s just a few people so we can afford it”. Based on that, I think the stance will change if the conditions change.

I sometimes wonder if there is some truth in astrology, especially in places where you have seasons, because of the environmental stimuli in your first months as a baby? More sunlight, longer days for the summer astral signs versus dark days and being inside for winter astral signs. Maybe "Gemini" are so "energetic" because their forming months are in a time when people spend more time going out and enjoying the summer while the "Capricorn" is more "analytic" because it first experience is a winter of being inside, experiencing more reflectiv activities?

There are a lot of interesting issues here, but some distracting sloppiness as well.

The piece starts by noting that our current market systems are coming up short for laborers, but then suggests that a government job guarantee would somehow necessarily produce quality opportunities with fair compensation. It is possible that methodologies for making labor markets fair might apply both to market and government subsidized opportunities.

Cost disease gets called out with respect to education but is misunderstood. Education is not inherently a harmful cost but rather is having a problem with unsustainable cost increases that result in an existential threat. This phenomenon of labor intensive products becoming unreasonably expensive over time is extremely important to understand and characterize and should not be glossed over.
I’ve been stopped at knife point at dark by two people. It was traumatizing and I have no sympathy towards bad actors. What am I supposed to do? Just get stabbed and be thankful that the criminals were nice enough not to kill me?

I was going to night class and getting harassed by people my age. Lock them up and maybe they become rehabilitated but there’s something seriously wrong with people who are willing to go right up to killing someone over a few possessions. I personally will always vote strongly against crime. You can keep having sympathy for criminals I hope you’re never afraid of going outside after dark.
You know how you create a cryptocurrency that immediately rivals Bitcoin with no effort? You fork Bitcoin and give it a cute mascot. Dogecoin has a $65 billion marketcap and was made in about two hours as a JOKE. It's totally open source, so there's nothing even illegal about it:

I remember seeing Ethereum starting up and they had a demo where you could make your own cryptocurrency in about a page of code. I thought this shit is never going to work. I WAS SO WRONG.

I am sure this cryptoqueen scammer put a ridiculous amount of effort into her scam when these people who actually made absurd amounts of money legally in altcoins did far less work.
