Something I really enjoy about golang was the design decision to make structured data stay separate from function, but then provide a simple mechanism for defining functions that worked in the context of structured data. It feels like a good split between the two desired uses for structured data... On the one hand, it's easy to encapsulate the data for common use case, and on the other hand I can generally trust that if I need to bit-bash a data structure (i.e. use only a piece of it, or introspect it, or serialize it), I can do that with a minimum of care as to ny object-like metadata it might be carrying.
Because for my proof to work I need polynomial-time hashing.
The goal of regulators should be to stop people from taking advantage/scamming others, not to stop innovative financial products from being built.

Defi protocols (at least on eth) are open source, so I can verify that they are doing what they are supposed to be doing and use those products. It would be far from ideal if some regulator decided that we can't use it because reasons x,y,z.

Twitter considers some of those hate speech already.
> Since then, it has definitely become mainstream. For games, it kind of "merged" with Entity-Component-System architecture, which is used by lots of mainstream engines and is kind of popular these days.

This isn't really true, it's extremely popular on the Internet but much less so in commercial game development land. Data-oriented design on the other hand is extremely common as things need to run fast. But that's almost exclusively in the underlying engine rather than for gameplay code.

Outside of that there are a lot of in-progress implementations in popular engines (likes DOTS in Unity), lots of very early open-source general game engine projects using them (like Bevy) and loads of open source implementations of which I believe one has actually shipped in a commercial game (EnTT in Minecraft Bedrock Edition). The other famous shipped game using an ECS was Overwatch.

> The Weather Underground was a radical left wing militant organization...

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_Underground

I also had some fun researching how the CIA (I thought was probably) involved in all of this. Found some stuff on Wikispooks.com about Chesa Boudin and also this comment (and more) from [1]:

> The whole Weather Underground was a project of Cointelpro-New-Left. The idea was to brand students as radical and violent marxists and put out propaganda about them to break up genuine student organizing in opposition to the Vietnam War. It’s a classic guilt-by-association strategy – by labeling progressive policies as “Crazy San Francisco” it causes a reactionary policy implementation almost everywhere else. Boudin is so obviously CIA as was Gascon and now we have yet another phony CIA culture war that gets everyone outraged, divided, and distracted.

Holy moly! If there was ever a self-answering question on this site! Look at how much traffic is being generated by Windows 11's lack of support for older hardware, and how confusing it is -- even for technical users -- to figure out of their machines are TPM-capable at all, or if it just needs turned on in the BIOS -- in order to install it. After 19 years of Linux on the desktop, and always dual-booting Windows for gaming, I'm delighted to spend the extra money on Apple hardware (and game on a PS) to avoid all of that sort of nonsense now. You may not like them, but Apple makes the answers to these kinds of questions pretty clear. I'm glad Apple doesn't waste their time and energy with supporting every piece of kit under the sun.
It depends on the UI configuration. I run an overlapping desktop WM on mine and as long as the software doesn't need a second mouse button it's fine.

Tolerating homelessness and the tent cities and open air drug use which victimize nothing but the eyes and noses of the uptight need not be analogous with tolerating rampant car break-ins, package theft and other petty "crime with a victim". Furthermore, the "real crime" that greatly reduces quality of life is not necessarily committed by the people shooting up on the sidewalk.

Enforce laws against theft.

Enforce laws against public indecency and disorderly conduct.

Enforce laws which will have the most positive impact on everyone's quality of life.

People being homeless isn't the problem. People being allowed to get away with all these other behaviors that reduce quality of life for everyone else is the problem.

I think that, while most people can't really articulate this well enough, there is a pretty good common understanding of what style of programming is OO: it's a style of programming where code is quite deeply tied to data, especially modifications of persistent state (encapsulation), and where subtyping is commonly used to model program behavior (interfaces, inheritance, virtual dispatch, polymorphism).

This would mostly contrast with procedural code, where code and data are much more separate - procedures often manipulate and pass around complex data structures -, and subtyping is not commonly used for program behavior; instead, flow control is usually explicit (e.g. switch()'ing on an enum value).

It is also commonly contrasted to Functional Programming, where data is also loosely tied to code, with functions often reading (but usually not modifying) deep parts of complex data structures; and where higher order functions and sum types are used to achieve dynamic dispatch.
I've been thinking for a while that modern languages shouldn't default to floating point computations. They're exactly the right thing if you do data stuff or scientific computing, but given how much of the internet relies on things like e-commerce and how often floating point is still misused for dealing with money, coupled with the fact that even many senior developers aren't fully aware of the subtleties of floating point, I don't understand why we keep making them the default.

If a user does need to do scientific computing, they could use a "# use-floating-point" pragma or something so that literals get interpreted as floating point. Otherwise, we map them to rationals.

Of course, doing rational arithmetic is much slower (for example, Gaussian elimination is exponential for arbitrary precision rationals, while it's famously O(n^3) for floating point), so there's a danger of people accidentally using it in triply nested loops etc., but I have a feeling that if you need to do that kind of thing you know that you might run into performance issues and you think twice.

There’s a lot of “ideological boilerplate” being thrown around in these comments. @dang maybe you can step in and moderate the responses? This right-wing propaganda seems to be triggering a flamewar.

As I mentioned above, if the module is expressed as a code extension, then it is, sort of, "free." It is compiled into the main code body.

But, for example, say we are talking about a communication module. One module may use a well-known library as a bundled dependency, and another module may use the same one. They may be smart enough to use dylibs, in which case, you have the potential for "DLL hell," or they may use static libs, in which case you have duplication of code, and maybe resource contention.
What is “flat” codebase, if you don't mind? Is it opposite to the hadouken-style nested code?
LOL. I get that bashing the US is popular on this site, but this comment is really detached from reality.

I did an install of Windows 10 Pro N on a Mac Pro a couple weeks ago (followed this guide: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/opencore-on-the-mac-pro..., search for "Installing Windows and Linux " section).

The Mac was connected to the Internet, I had to do a couple of clicks during the setup to create a local account but it was easy enough to do - I had not searched beforehand and I hadn't set up a Windows machine in the last five years or so.

Side note for fellow people willing to run W10 on Mac Pro's, two things: the multi-socket variants won't run on the Home edition, you need the Professional edition, and if you're using Opencore you will need to enable the OpenShell EFI shell as you'll need to run bootmgfw.efi once from the UEFI shell.
I wish people writing long from would take the opportunity to actually explain why, rather than just keep repeating assertions of "this means a discontinuous change".
Of course it's different, but you're still sending a probe to a celestial body, so things like building the rocket, designing radiation-hardened hardware, space communications, launching on a desired trajectory, automated landing with retro-propulsion etc are all similar and needed for both. Basically, if you're going to practice the Moon is the place to do it, and that's why the US, Soviet, Chinese and now Indian space programs are all following the same basic game plan.
In my limited experience surströmming doesn’t taste as bad as it smells (it smells pretty bad). But, it doesn’t actually compensate by tasting good either. So I never saw any point eating it beyond the first try.
1. journalctl is painfully slow. Most frequent commands I use: journalctl -u myunit --since=today and journalctl -u myunit -n 1000 take minutes on loaded servers with large amount of logs. 1st command is instant for daily rotated plain text logs and 2nd is almost instant for any plain text logs.

In theory it is possible to make a binary log database which will work fast for many queries including these, but journalctl is not fast at all.

2. People are fine with gzip because log compression is usually done in a way which makes log corruption/loss highly unlikely:

gzip log.ystd, fsync log.ystd.gz, rm log.ystd

At any time you can reset a server and you will either have uncompressed or compressed logs, not some partially written binary blob.
It's not just fear. Building a nuclear power plant is a complicated, decades-long, tremendously expensive engineering prowess. Due to the catastrophic failure modes of nuclear reactors compared to other power plants, it requires a huge amount of safety and regulation (and it's why it has killed less people than other energy sources). It also requires a large and steady amount of water to work with current designs, so you can't build them just anywhere, and you need to extrapolate 50-100 years into the future to take into account droughs and rising sea levels.

I'm all for nuclear, I'm amazed at the power density of nuclear fuel (I saw recently that a few hundred grams of plutonium contain the same amount of energy as a fully fuelled Starship), but reducing the counter-argument to "fear" is not useful. Let's try and solve the real problems instead: the cost problems, the building time problems, the nuclear waste problems and the proliferation problems. The fear and political reluctance will then go away by itself.

In parallel, we should not waste time and enforce more energy-efficient housing, mandatory remote working whenever possible, promote better transportation options than cars, connect grids together, put solar/wing/biogas/geothermal plants everywhere, find more efficient ways to ship cargo across the planet, etc.
You can put almost infinitely much effort into optimization. When do you stop? Do you test every user-interaction takes less than 100 ms below which it can be considered good?

You are comparing currency (dollar) against assets (gold.). You are complaining that a currency is acting like a currency (inflationary) and not an asset (relatively resistant to inflation.)

I am so confused by this argument.

I think you are right though that Bitcoin isn't acting like a currency, it is acting like an asset. Although it is highly speculative, more so that gold, as evidenced by its wild swings.

Bitcoin is a crypto-asset, not a crypto-currency.
Dude, because he's defended their actions. Last year didn't he refuse to press charges against a guy snuck up behind two cops and fractured one's skull with a glass bottle and cut the other's face open, all caught on video?

How many rapes has he refused to prosecute?

And then he turns around and blames the cops, even though the reason they are overwhelmed is he keeps letting repeat offenders off to immediately commit new crimes.

His views on justice are incredibly twisted, likely starting with the pretzel he had to turn is brain into to justify his parents being murderers.

OCaml comes to mind as a static language with a macro system that sees a lot of use. I have no idea, though, how sound its type system is.

For my part, my sense is that it would be appropriate for a static lisp to choose completeness over soundness in its type system. Gödel's incompleteness theorem tells us that a static type checker can't be both sound and complete. So you've got to pick one, and there's something about sacrificing liberty for the sake of security that strikes me as being fundamentally un-lispy. All the talk further up about CL-style unhygienic macros seems like a good illustration of the relevant culture. You can't ignore Scheme and Racket, of course, but the longer tradition in Lisp is to say, "We'll give you all the power and all the footguns, and leave it up to you to use them responsibly."

This phenomenon is not unique to America though. Like, try Chindian food some time. Not invented in China.

It might appear that way but much of the cost of non-community-maintained software is hidden and people don't realize it until long after it becomes expensive to leave. Because of this I'm not sure I agree.

Well it depends on the level of abstraction you use. You could think of the operating system as the platform, and each piece of software as a plugin. That can work well enough.
