I don't have a background on theory of programming languages or history of CS (I'm EE), correct me if I'm wrong but:

1- I have never seen a language that made me wow. Like, to me, this whole concept of making a digital logic architecture do a task should be "solved" in a systematic/mathematical sense. Yet, whenever I read on criticisms of languages, people always talk about stuff like "Go doesn't have generators", "Rust macro is a mistake", "I don't like python's async story", "C's way of things is outdated" etc...

As an analogy, this whole discussion of PLs in CS circles is like complaining about whether we should use `dot` notation or `d/d(t)` notation or whether we should use `t` or `x` in solving a differential equation. Like, we are not solving the actual DE, but complaining about issues irrelevant to the big picture.

2- I have a feeling that https://www.red-lang.org/ is something completely new and innovative.

3- I think concepts like formal-proofs and RTOSes are under-rated.

Society is so mentally ill they don't even understand how current farming works.

So it's a lost cause. These cults come in and fill that space.

The idea raised in the article that Siberia will warm and become frontier land but we'll just let the infrastructure fail is a special kind of stupid.

I do like the way they used 2099, Not 2100. They don't even have to pretend anymore it's about zapping people's brains just like ad companies.
Aren't market crashes defined as events where the entire market crashes. In such cases even the index funds would have lost value. Didn't the crash of 2008 affect almost all stocks (and perhaps even bonds) ?

Not everyone has the forward runway of 20~25 years. There are periods of 20 years that gave little to no return in the stock market [in other words a loss].

"Sufficient time" might be long enough that I am on my death bed by that time. The opportunity cost of waiting in the hopes that the prices will some day pickup can be substantial.
If one peer is only allowed to talk to another peer via a centralised "hole-punching" server, it isn't p2p.

There's nothing wrong with that topology, but the very original point was about how sometimes you want p2p and IPv6 helps enormously with this. If you think p2p topologies in general are "insecure" because the peers need to be directly reachable on the internet, then that's a different argument.

Bot users aren't necessarily malicious at all. That's how automated bots always start out as. And there's no way to tell whether a user is a bot or not if they don't interact with the server.

Besides, if you say something on a public discord chat it's like saying it on Twitter.
I prefer to use languages which have been stable for 20+ years.
It probably was much larger than average Soviet house at the time, as well as far more luxurious. Stalin was into expensive cars and fine cuisine as well (even as parts of the country quite literally starved to death).

Thing is, you don't have to be ultra-rich to feel good about yourself. You just need to be substantially richer than the next guy. And no party functionary (let alone Stalin) ever had any lifestyle issues. Dachas, yachts, personal chefs - it's par for the course until your fellow party members take you out with a pickaxe or something to free up the spot.
The assessed value is based on recent sales of similar comps.

If you bought your house for $50k in 1979, of course you want it to be based on the original price. In CA, the assessed value can only go up by 2% a year. But if I buy your house today for $1.2m, then I am going to be paying $1,000/month in property taxes. And if you want to move across town, or even downsize a little to that $800k condo, well, then you are going to lose that low low property tax rate.

Which is one of the reason there is a housing shortage. People don't want to upgrade or downgrade or otherwise sell. They just figure out ways to give it to their children or rent it out and keep the low tax rate locked in.
Yes, that's true, however larger is relative when we're talking about pizza places and the local Chinese restaurant. These aren't national chains I'm talking about.
Get people healthy by force? What does it even mean? Fitness camps for the obese?
But in one sense, there are no languages with unique powers. Ultimately all languages are instructions for a CPU. The language can make you ‘feel’ smart as an individual or ‘be’ smart by allowing a large group of people to accomplish something that couldn’t be achieved by a single person.

My hypothesis is that languages that are good at making the individual feel smart have proven to be less effective at allowing a large group of programmers to collaborate.

I find that HN/Twitter are a good place to know about most tech related news, and sometimes important mainstream news as well.
My usual strategy is to be completely ignore all other sources.

For local news, if something is important I usually end up knowing about it through friends/acquaintances.
I'm not entirely sure about that. Sure, it's probably not in good taste to claim that, however there are plenty of tricky languages out there that have steep learning curves but that are very capable in their own domains.

Even in lieu of that bad taste or elitism, I'd still like to suggest that it takes more patience, self discipline and perhaps a tinge of being clever to pick up something like C, C++, Rust, Haskell, Lisp, APL, Prolog or even regular expressions than it does Java, .NET, Node/JavaScript/TypeScript, Python and others and I say that as a person who relies on the latter for the most part in their daily life.

It's not that you have to be an outright genius to use any of them, but writing code in them well (for example, managing memory and avoiding C++ footguns) takes discipline and definitely could be applauded on some level, as could using APL, Prolog or regular expressions to efficiently solve problems in the few domains that they're actually good at and suited for.

Personally, some of these views of mine formed after listening to a podcast that talked about APL and someone's experience with it: https://corecursive.com/065-competitive-coding-with-conor-ho...

Yeah, there are ways to trun this into something useful and at the same time help people.

Not at all making light of the pandemic, but I think this was a missed "opportunity" for those guys.
Western propaganda is so boring... Yes, Tu-144 wasn’t the biggest success story of the Soviet civil aviation, but it gave birth to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-160
And 35 years later the West is still unable to match Tu-160. The wise would say that every coin has a flip side, and every story about a Soviet “failure”, however one-sided coverage it usually receives in the Western propaganda, normally has too...
This is a great idea and concept but either has to be narrowed drastically in scope or grow to unsustainble levels.

When I first clicked in on this link I was thinking it would allow moving from AWS (for instance) to Azure (or any other vendor).

That is a truly hard problem to solve.
I see that is not a good use case for this.

Thinking about going from SAP -> Oracle E-Business Suite
(if that is what Oracle's name is now) is another hard problem and in general takes years.

It is not just moving data, but enormous amounts of logic / routines / rules that are not 1:1 mapppable.

Producing a solution that is repeatable enough to reuse would take years as well and in that time the products themselves will have shifted

Scaping is ok you can get information but the
forms of the new ERP will again not be 1:1

Many many years ago I worked on a similar project to this.
Migraitng one ERP system to another (not the players mention here. Both were fully on prem.

After beating our heads, the wall figuring it all out, we ended up going directly at the database of the source system. This is certainly -not. advisable, it is not supported and not documented.

I still have nightmares about sitting for weeks figuring out the schema to the extent we could get the data we wanted.
That it was non intuitive is an understatement.

What we came up with would not be usable to sell to a different company that wanted to do the same migration.
Though we cold give them a lot of hints on the data model.

This was all secret. Had the ERP vendor we were moving away from seen what we did they could be quite displeased.

I hope I will love to see where this ends up.

If you manage to solve it well there are containers of gold in your future. If you end up taking a year or more pre major project then probably not as profitable and higher risk
I think by "smart" they mean "reasonably smart" or "smart about the programming language they pick". Some people just don't care and work 9-5 programming jobs without caring about what language they use as long as they get a paycheck.
I think OP wants to get rid of the spam because it annoys him, not wallow in it.
Those homeowners get richer and richer every year. Their borrowing power increases and even as renters are getting gouged by rising rents, homeowners don't even have to worry about their property tax going up. This leads to disproportionate political power.
> As an analogy, this whole discussion of PLs in CS circles is like complaining about whether we should use `dot` notation or `d/d(t)` notation or whether we should use `t` or `x` in solving a differential equation

Until you start manipulating the 'dt's on their own which wouldn't occur to you if you were using the dot notation.

(And then some people tell you that it's illegal, or maybe okay but only if you've taken real analysis... it gets confusing)
They have an effects branch but admitted it won't be ready in time for OCaml 5.0 (supposedly arriving around end of 2021 / early 2022) so they have a separate compiler variant with it where the progress can be tracked.

Last I read, they really want to nail down the entire multi-threaded environment to the last detail first (which mostly means make sure no parallel bugs are introduced + single-threaded code won't become slower; both pretty huge goals).
> And macros are definitely evidence of techniques that go beyond glue programming. For example, solving problems by first writing a language for problems of that type, and then writing your specific application in it.

Is this fundamentally different from "writing your own library to solve a problem, and then using it"?

> So if you want to expand your concept of what programming can be, one way to do it is by learning weird languages.

Isn't the conclusion here "contribute to/write your own libraries" rather than "pick a weird language"? Or "solve problems from scratch instead of relying on libraries when learning"? I feel like the "weird languages" are shoehorned into a discussion about glue programming vs library programming.
How does using a sub-object make it any different? You can’t know which one is going to be called without knowing which object was put in the compositionary scenario exactly the same way as in order to know which implementation is going to be called you need to know the type of an object.

I don’t think your argument is strong here.

First you get hit with the wall of bureaucracy with all its rules and regulations, but behind it you find highly engaged people willing to do whatever they can to get this thing going.
I often respond and tell I’m currently not interested. Legit head hunters leave me alone or ask to contact me again in a year or so (which I’m ok with. You never know when you need a new job).

Sure! Just curious about what specific languages would fit this description.

Yeah, after looking at some data, my characterization of the tobacco companies getting crushed is probably not accurate. I knew that tobacco use has been in stark decline, but the data show that it has been a steady decline over many decades (down ~60% over ~60 years), and not a stark, immediately like I had (mis)remembered.

The specific impact of the big tobacco trials on the tobacco industry at large is still a mystery to me, though. I'd still like to see some data for the entire domestic tobacco industry's revenues (I searched, but I did not find anything) going back to the ~50s, so that we could see the impact of the very public lawsuits, the big settlement, and the implementation of warning labels. The Phillip Morris stock ticker you linked isn't very helpful in determining that impact, as it only goes back to 2008.
My teenage son is a picky eater, still thinks unbleached wheat bread sandwich crust tastes bad. I used to feel like it was a waste to toss, still felt bad to compost, now that I feed the crust to my hens and see how they light up, I no longer feel bad.

Of course! Happens all the time. Go look for 1 person startups on microaquire or flippa. I bet there are dozens of 1 man operations for sale right now for over $1M. A million is actually not as hard to get to as you might think for an exit. (Still very hard I'm sure, I don't mean to downplay it)

The program is called "Redemption through Reading” and the officials statements are in similar vain. The implications are pretty clear.

It's only made worse by how only select people can participate. That is on top of Brazil's history of using literacy tests for racial discriminatation. As well as their current, ineffective mass-incarceration policy (now 3rd largest in the world), which as in the US hits indigenous and black south americans harder. I don't expect they'll have a rich corpus of indigenous literature either.

This is why I am very critical, despite reading a book generally hurting nobody. If they truly wanted to keep people out of prison they should end their mass incarceration and improve inequality, not allow select people (who will be almost definitely be disproportionately white) to get out easier.

But then again the head of state is an outspoken fan of the military dictatorship so that does not seem likely.
It's not quite built into the language but Scala has a really well-developed ecosystem of effect libraries (ZIO, Monix, cats-effect) that solve this problem really nicely.
> Many also cheated by watching movie adaptations of books.

This sounds risky as movie adaptations sometimes wildly differ from the original material.
> For example, did you know that C#'s string's hash code calculation is nondeterministic across runs? ... iterating Rust's/Go's default hash maps, etc.

I do, but I also know that in Java, C#, Rust and Go it's well documented that you should not rely on the iteration order of the values in a hashmap or hash-based collection, which (at least in Go) is one of the reasons hash-iteration order is randomized across runs.

If a bug is caused by this kind of nondeterminism, you're likely to catch the bug by replaying the history multiple times. In other words, if the history isn't perfect due to nondeterminism, the history is still useful in tracking down bugs because that nondetermism will be revealed over multiple replays.
Some ways NL is different:

- removal of parking spaces in urban centers (good luck doing that in the UK! People literally protest in the streets)

- large scale secure bike parking in train stations

- reliable and extensive rail network

- segregated bike paths between major towns and on majority of urban routes

- bike paths open to mobility assistance vehicles (independence for those too old to drive or with disabilities)

- one way and access only streets for motor traffic, walking and cycling is allowed / two way

- direct routes and bridges in urban areas reserved for walkers and cyclists, drivers must take long way around

- school buses replaced with guided cycling and cycle busses for children

- maintenance of cycle paths through winter (e.g. de-icing)

All of this creates spaces where people want to spend time, as opposed to more transactional journeys to out of town stores. The outcome is bustling high streets, cafe culture, etc. Children have some of highest independence and happiness scores in the world. Lower obesity and diseases of inactivity compared to most of developed world.

It used to be part of the kernel back in the day. It was called devfs. It was dropped because a userkspace implementaton is more flexible and easier to extend and tweak. udev also isn't the only choice, mdev also exists and works without running an actual daemon (there is a file in /sys or /proc which specifies a program to run on hardware events, mdev handles the event, then quits).

Of course, nowadays devtmpfs is also a thing, fully kernel space, but not at all configurable. Mostly meant for early user space like initrd and such. But if you don't need anything special it might work for you during regular use, too.
Most of the relevant plumbing is generic though. Check out ZIO or cats-effect in Scala which I think both provide highly composable effect systems.
What a mockery of justice. Can't wait until the bleeding hearts in the usa implement this policy stateside. Seeing as we are getting rid of bail because reality is racist why not just eliminate prisons entirely.

> By the way, check out how hard Discord makes it to report abuse:

From a dev POV, I'd say it is a deliberate choice from Discord. If they added a "Report" button to every message, people would assume that the report is sent to the server manager and mods, so there'd be a heap of reports while the messages do not necessarily break Discord's TOS, but rather the server's rules. It's the kind of thing that you need to establish/take into account when enabling customers to create their own "platforms."

The type and size of seed. Larger birds focus on larger (higher energy) seed sold at the stores.

The plants I select to go to seed have small seeds and feed small birds.

If these are migratory birds, then it is possible you are going to kill them by keeping them feeding while they should be migrating.
