Is this a Babel but for Go?
I wholeheartedly disagree. Too many options can be a bad thing, that has been proven and there's plenty of literature about it, for example: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Paradox_of_Choice

I remember when the first thing you had to do in order to program a videogame was creating your own TIFF or BMP parser. That's ok if you enjoy that sort of thing, but it gets in the way when what you want is a working videogame, not a tech demo. That kind of limitation, frankly, sucked.

On the other hand nowadays the problem is the opposite: there's so many ways to do stuff. So many options. Which engine. Which language. What graphics pipeline. Which Entity-Component System, etc.

The trouble is that we are back to the previous problem. The tech decisions get in the way of the creative process.

What Pico8 does right is limiting the amount of tech-related decisions you have to make. That frees mental cycles in order to be creative and build something that works. I know from the get go that I've got 8x8 16-color bitmaps, and that's it. No time wasted parsing TIFFs, and also no time wasted choosing tech. You start and go.

All that said, I don't think Pico-8 is for everyone. If you feel restricted by it, perhaps you will be more comfortable with other engines. I program games as a hobby an I am very limited on the amount of time I can dedicate to it. I tend to make small 1-evening prototypes that are never finished. Pico-8 is awesome for that. It's definitely awesome for me, at least.
Let's get real here. Apple (like Google) doesn't give a shit about your privacy - their only concern is profit.
This is a no true Scotsman statement. Questioning authority is okay as long as it’s just questioning, but any question can be dismissed as pathological questioning and forbidden.

If you want to use some qualification of ‘pathologically questioning’ you’ll have to define what it is. So it’s clear what kind of questions you want forbidden.
Just one thing - you can always write a separate contract which subdivides an otherwise indivisible asset on the blockchain.

For example, with NFTs, you could make a DAO that pools together capital to purchase an NFT and can trade their share of ownership of the NFT on the open market.

It's possible simultaneously for something to have a large societal cost, and for it to not affect any individual person enough to change their decisionmaking.
One of the more painful issues is hanging (lockup) at full CPU usage. At my workplace, initially we introduced a timeout to workaround the hang while trying to determine the cause of the hang. It happened within multithread R code. Various build flags for OpenBLAS have been tried to no avail. Setting OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS=1 surely makes the problem go away, at the expense of performance.

That R code has since been ported to Python, but we faced the same issue again when using ThreadPoolExecutor, so we had to change it into ProcessPoolExecutor instead.

I think that the issue is that many developers want to write "good" code but are forced to write code as quickly as possible to get features out the door. If you already don't enjoy your work because you are not able to take enough time to do it well, then even if you don't enjoy it, you may as well be the person in charge.

n the UK there's already some disdain for 'boomers' because they're getting state pensions and are quite likely to own several mortgage-free houses. Tax rises only affect those currently working so young people people get irked at having to pay more into a system where they're unlikely to get much out. It's not entirely unjustified but the assumption that 'boomer's got stuff for free isn't necessarily true.

It's a interesting development and worth watching.

I think being born around 1880 and living to 80+ would probably be the most change any human has ever seen over a lifetime in history. Many would have gone from pre-industrial revolution level tech in their personal lives growing up to seeing man go to the moon. Crazy to think about

A quote from a book by Terry Pratchett that springs to mind...

"They think they want good government and justice for all, Vimes, yet what is it they really crave, deep in their hearts? Only that things go on as normal and tomorrow is pretty much like today."

I've often wondered if for the majority in a lot of societies, that isn't essentially true.
>Let's not try to whitewash history.

That's what you're doing by discounting what was a fairly popular political opinion of the time.

>That's just not realistic. The Soviet army relied on its productive capabilities to wage war.

None of that matters if you get hit with a Soviet first strike.

The main goal wasn't to take out the conventional war machine, but the Soviet Nuclear capabilities. Counter force vs counter value.

And this was before "Spheres of Influence" was accepted as a realistic possibility on either side, when the admitted Soviet policy was that communism had to be spread worldwide, even if it came to instigating war. So a first strike wasn't just thought possible, but expected.
So now that everyone is vaccinated we can just accept that the goalposts are infinitely far away and masks will be demanded forever. And anyone who doesn’t want that is a crazy conspiracy theorist who thinks it’s because of the secret cabal.
The desired outcome here isn't "persuading Apple to budge." It's using the democratic process to arrive at legal changes that make businesses cease an abusive practice. The first step on that road is better public awareness.
I don't think that makes a lot of sense in a distro. If package A gets an update, it means a sufficiently bad bug was discovered in it. If it happens to be a library, you want to make sure you update every package B that uses it. Which, conveniently, the distro solves for you too.
You don’t know who I am yet you assume I’m unable to read math. I’ll ga have you know I’ve published original proofs and derived efficient algorithms from doing very delicate math. I’m employed to do this which is something most math graduates can’t say.

I’m not advocating for dumbing down —- rather the exact opposite. People have superficial understanding of things and think they know the subject deeply because they can write a bunch of symbols. But wannabe proofs written by such people lack predictive power or explanatory value. Logic, sets and numbers are precise about the things they address just like a board game can be precise about it’s rules and outcomes. This is not the case for mathematics at large. Doing exercises in the textbook will be unambiguous because the content of the textbook grounds the meaning of objects well enough using verbose natural language. The problems are also small in size. However there is a difference between reading a law textbook vs reading the constitution. Definitions and semantics at the frontiers of mathematics are under flux and consensus among mathematicians is slow. Proofs are large and contain a lot of holes. Without the kind of verbose grounding you have in textbooks, meaning can be quite ambiguous. What is a set by the way? Since it’s a fundamental construct, can you define it unambiguously? Again I’m not asking for the notation of a set. But rather the definition of it. If you were asked to present it to a tribal person with no formal education, do you think the definition you thought of would have the same explanatory value to them? If this constraint made you rethink your definition you see my point.

I’m not talking about any creative aspect. I’m just talking about formalisation. Geometry is notoriously hard to formalise for computers. Take a look at the Lean theorem prover and how hard it has been to formulate large sections of math despite repeated attempts over decades. The creativity you suggest is actually rooted in the pattern processing machine that is the brain which fills in large blanks left out from formal representation and which many mathematicians take for granted without realising the extent of ambiguity it brings.

Your language and usage of R word suggests you’re in an Ivory tower just because you understood a few problems in your textbook at some point.

Of course, if you read the article, you find out that the problem had nothing to do with R. It was a misconfiguration of the underlying linear algebra libraries that R (and Python and everything else) relies on. The author even made a minimal reproducible example in a single C script, no dependencies on R whatsoever.

I hear a lot of "R is bad, Python is Enterprise Production Quality (TM)" blather at my work. It's always because the people involved don't understand computers, don't read documentation, don't debug, don't do root cause analysis, and want to quickly pass off responsibility for their laziness and incompetence. Meanwhile I and my team are happily chugging away, producing millions of dollars of reliable value for my company in R year after year.

Python lags far behind R in wide swaths of data science. Pandas is inferior to both dplyr and data.table, and R's modeling capabilities blow Python's out of the water in breadth and depth. You only use Python when you have to, e.g. for unstructured data and deep learning type stuff.

If your colleagues make you deal with their bad R code, that's too bad, but don't blame the language. It's designed to be easy to use, so a lot of bad coders use it. Go train your bad coders or hire better ones.

As a compiler engineer, I get excited about tools. I think it's important to use mathematical foundations in a way that is both intuitive and transparent to the end user.

Aside from monads and macros, OCaml remains a great example in this area because of its support for type inference and type annotations; on the surface, the code you write is mostly 'untyped,' save for at function boundaries and data definitions. Much how like monads and macros ultimately compile, so will correct typed and untyped code.

I'm not sure how clear I'm being, but in essence: tools should be as lispy on the surface as possible (for ease of prototyping), while being built on haskelly* foundations (for correctness). There is no one silver bullet, it's about finding the right balance for the issue at hand: and as a tool, you should leave that decision to your end-users.

*I use lisp and haskell to mirror the article, but this is true of any tool, imperative or functional, language or otherwise.
EA does seem to be used as a crutch by AAA games. “Look, we missed the deadline, but we’re releasing it anyways as an ‘early access,’ so don’t be mad if it sucks.” Maybe I’m just biased, but “indie” games that go early access make much more sense than AAA because it’s one person versus dozens or hundreds.
Warlordism is the natural outcome of libertarianism. Anyone who isn't blind to the darker side of human nature can see this as pretty obvious.
It works the other way too. If everybody believes that your model is correct, the chances are very good that its predictions actually become true.
Conventional currency can do anything cryptocurrency can do with far less overhead and usually less complexity… if you can trust someone.

The problem is that centralized trust creates moral hazard and over time tends to be abused. Abuse of centralized trust can be incredibly destructive both financially and in humanitarian terms.

To me the key question is which is cheaper?

Is it cheaper to run cryptocurrency with all its overhead or is it cheaper to use faster cheaper simpler centralized systems and “eat” corruption and abuse since those represent the hidden costs of those systems.

The answer differs depending on which society you are evaluating and it’s corruption index. It’s not the unbanked that represent a hidden base of cryptocurrency users. It’s those that reside in kleptocracies and failed states.

It's perhaps worth saying that if you must mix OpenMP libraries built against the LLVM (Kuck/Intel) runtime, and GNU GOMP on GNU/Linux: Ensure libomp is built with GOMP compatibility, however that's configured, make a shim from the result, like

gcc -shared -Wl,-soname=libgomp.so.1 -o libgomp.so.1 empty.c -lomp5

where empty.c is an empty file, and put the result on LD_LIBRARY_PATH ahead of the real libgomp. Alternatively, preload the compatible libomp5. On Debian 11 there's already a libgomp in the llvm packaging. Dynamic linking assumed, as is right and fitting.

> I care for human centered design. I care about technology with responsibility without data exploitation. I care about privacy and transparency.

That is idealism, definitely necessary in small quantities but what moves things forward is pragmatism. The former is more of a guide than a prescription. E.g. human centered design is costly - when you're pushing the envelope, you can't have everything in utmost polish (and a mere glance at any part of history of new tech should make that obvious).

Responsibility without data exploitation: again, pragmatism - if Tesla is still doing this in 10 years, then ye, I'd find it questionable, but right now, Tesla is the only entity on which to build hope on, if you actually believe and care about what they're trying to achieve. If you don't or think it's all for Elon's pocket, then you're mistaken (with plenty of proof around) and I hope you spend some time to challenge your beliefs.

Privacy: this one's actually a balancing act. You want perfect privacy, go in the woods and hunt. In SaaS case, you trade some privacy for time and money saved.

I'm not sure how to express it without it sounding that way!

> Faster? For what? May be tomorrow you will rationalize mass control with chip implants, because it is "progress" and this will get you faster toward the ultimate life goal : corporate profits.

Pick 10 things your life depends on today (some hints: medicine and medical tech, transport, ...) and you'd be hard pressed to find any of them that don't trace back to so called "corporate profits" in capitalist nations. It's not the ultimate goal as you put it. It's the requirements to be in the game. If you wanna make large scale impact, you need capital, which comes from investors whom you need to keep happy. That's not to say no one goes in for the money, but if you spot a smart person who's earning it the hard way, it should be a good signal that they're not doing it for the money (hint: leading the first publicly traded car company in over half a century where every other ones in the country have gone bankrupt - many easier paths to making butt load of money faster).

> the populace hates everything about it

This sentence alone tells me everything I need to know about your position: "the populace" (implying everyone) and "everything" -- riiight... I think you need to tone down the superlatives a bit and maybe try researching both sides for your next article. A 1000 people marched against bitcoin -- this is hardly "the populace"...

There is no arguing that it (Chivo) got off to a shaky start... but we already know that Chivo has more users than the banks have fiat accounts in El Salvador.[1]

As to "bitcoin systems" -- it's just regular bitcoin and the lightning network and these are _global_ systems, not systems that are only "there"...

Finally, you just need logic to know that if something is sold in BTC, and you have a BTC wallet, you can buy something in BTC, using your BTC wallet, without needing fiat. Hence, fiat on/off ramps are obviously not needed to be able to be paid, and live, and save, and purchase stuff there.

Terraform state files are sort of a workaround for the fact that it's not really feasible to discover the complete state of Terraform-managed infrastructure via the APIs only because it's not always possible to have an unambiguous mapping from declared resources to real ones. The Terraform code still represents the desired state of reality, but the state is needed to track it in practice.
Scarcity is largely artificial, but ok
'Nodes' are represented by the ID column [1] (aka single-column PK) in the respective table. 'Hyperedges' are tables that tie together 2 (or more) IDs, for example the classic ParentChild table. Table attributes can be seen as mini ID-Attr 'edges'. Adding a FK column to a 'node' table is a shortcut for relations that are binary and 1:N. In practice, the relational model is encoding graphs quite directly, perhaps with a funny terminology.

At the query language level, a graph query language has to somehow represent the notion of a list + sort/filter/aggregate too. Haven't seen convincing improvements over the relational model, and arguably there are none: the concept of list + sort/filter/aggregate is fundamental.

The use-case where graph dbs might have an edge is when querying recursive relations, but recursive query constructs are conceivable in a table-first approach as well. Possibly also creating / querying relations (tables) on-the-fly without the 'CREATE TABLE ... / JOIN ON ...' ceremony is handy

I wouldn't look at SQL in particular for a modern instantiation of a relational algebra query language. Modern relational algebra libraries like dplyr in R ecosysyem are better.

I have not found yet uses for graph dbs. But I am curious to see why people find graph dbs "easier", preferably with concrete examples.

[1] Arguably 'primary key' terminology is confusing, as it may denote either an ID column (node) or a multi-dimensional FK tuple (hyperedge), so I prefer to avoid using it.
