I've been writing about my first impressions of the language here:

https://ianthehenry.com/posts/janet-game/

Not a whole lot of content yet, but I plan to keep going with it.

I am pretty firmly in the Haskell/OCaml "let me program with types" camp for most development, but it's a great to have a little scripting language to reach for instead of bash or Python or Perl. Using Janet (coming from Python) reminds me a bit of:

Simply out of curiosity, why do you have this sentiment? I've seen it given a lot as the reason why people don't want to buy one yet, but the performance differences are slim compared the current Tiger Lake option; perhaps 10-20% on certain quad core workloads, more if optimized for octa, but worse on single and dual. Additionally, by the time the Ryzen CPU comes along, likely the Alder Lake processor will be released at which point Intel will have the edge performance wise (hybrid cores, DDR5, Xe graphics architecture etc.) Is it brand loyalty or another reason?
That idea to treat some memory regions (e.g. memory mapped IO areas) as "external memory" which cause the CPU to run at the system clock speed (instead of the much faster "internal clock") sounds like it could also work well for (software) emulators.

However for "highly integrated" home computers like the Atari 8-bitters and C64 I guess this wouldn't be of much use, because most games and demos depend on proper CPU timing, even when not accessing memory mapped IO regions (for instance in wait-loops to get to the right raster position before reprogramming the video output).
We could probably debate whether 4% is "massive" in the context of COVID unemployment levels, but I'll sidestep that because I don't think it will actually resolve anything.

What I think is the better question is whether that 4% dip was better for the respective economies in the context of the aid they had to give up. It seems to me it probably wasn't a good tradeoff if the goal was to improve the economy.

I also understand it may be a moral argument rather than an economic one, but that's another one that could probably be debated without resolution.

>These benefits are being paid by all the rest of us in the form of inflation eating way our income.

I agree, but that's also the price to be paid by living in a society. We could just remove all safety nets whatsoever and deal with whatever instability results, but I don't think that's in most people's best interest. The point of the discussion is finding the right balance that provides a moral yet stable economy.
I generally agree with you, but I think that your example of FAANG workers is bad given what's happened to equity prices in the last 2 years.

FAANG workers probably made a boatload, I know my friends at Google did.
No, it's just the question I originally came into this thread with. Someone brought up "internment of a minority that they distrust" framing it as something that was specific to one side.

It occurred to me that people who are unvaccinated fit that classifier, and that I've seen plenty of dehumanization of these people in comments on the internet. I saw your comment as not quite to that level, but along the same lines (lumping unvaccinated people in with alt right violence).

So I thought you might be a good test case. If they rounded up the unvaccinated, would you stand up for them? Or would you do what most people do in most situations, and keep your head to the grindstone, focus on feeding your family and paying your mortgage?
If you installed ALL packages from npm, yum or pip, I wouldn't be surprised if 70% contains significant bugs or won't even start. Afterall, I published like 5 of them out of about 2 weeks worth of work and never looked at them again.

But it's not that 70% that matters, it's the stable branch OS that you're running. It's the science that has been there for decades, that is the backbone of that faith.
> (Why do you think Office still lives and breathes VB6-era VBA?)

It still supports vba because their customers won't allow them to kill it, not because they haven't tried to replace it (e.g. JavaScript has been the recommended way to make extensions for a while).
Nope. The only amount of Bitcoin in circulation is in actual wallets. Including deposits at exchanges, which are just aggregated wallets.

There's no such thing as loaning out a Bitcoin. You can loan out the fiat equivalent of it or a synthetic token (wrapped Bitcoin), but these are swaps, which is not the same thing as a supply increase. Truly loaning out BTC means moving the actual coin to the customer's wallet.

Say I run a bank that has 10 depositors that deposited 1 BTC each. My balance is 10K. Next, I assume they won't claim this BTC anytime soon so I "loan" out this 10K 10 times, for a total loan value of 100K BTC. Hence, I created 90K out of thin air.

This doesn't work. You didn't give the loaners BTC, you gave them something else. No new BTC was created. With fiat, actual new money would be created this way, not with BTC.
Same. Don’t get the hate for the new UI. It’s quite nice now that I’ve gotten used to it and given I often use 10 and 11 side by side I now quite prefer 11.
> He's supposed to pay tax on income not on wealth.

Depends on the country.

In the US, it's just on income.

In Switzerland, for example, it's also on wealth. Well under a single percent, but still.
We spend about a trillion dollars on welfare a year but i'm sure this next 20 billion would finally crack it!
I know a few business owners who received these checks and in their cases, A) they weren't nearly that much, B) they (helped) cover expenses, like paying rent and employees (the majority of their costs). I would expect the vast majority of non-fraudulent PPP ended up in the hands of employees first, for rent second, and to business owners pockets third (or not at all in many cases, e.g. plenty of places went out of business).

> The $1200 checks are nothing by comparison.

By what measure exactly? The total expenditure for those was >800 billion, which I believe is more than the total expenditure for the PPP.
> When we say "A extends B" we mean a) an instance of A composes in an instance of B b) A implements the interface that B implicitly expresses c) this implementation, by default, delegates to the instance of A from a).

This is probably the best summary of why traditional OOP is often suboptimal I've read. Clearly OOP solves (or solved) a problem that people were having, it's just that it tries to solve too many problems with the same system.

It's also worth noting that fans of "composition over inheritance" usually don't notice or mention that if you go with pure composition, you lose out on point (c) in most programming languages. Very few languages have a built-in mechanism by which a set of operations on type A can be automatically delegated to one of its elements, without at a minimum, listing all the operations to be delegated. So at least at present, traditional inheritance still provides an operation which is not available with composition.
I think he meant people don't walk anymore because the roads are fundamentally made for cars.
We are mostly not disagreeing. On paper does not necessarily reflect what would happen in reality if he tried to sell that much Amazon stock quickly.

You did raise a good point on equity vs working capital though, and I’m still inside the edit window so I’m going to adjust that now. Thanks!
It might make more sense if you read the site rather than random fragments quoted from it out of context. Fresco's idea of a "resource-based economy" is kind of vague to me but is definitely not a plan to move to a barter economy; instead it seems to be some kind of centrally-planned economy to mathematically optimize productivity using operations-research algorithms with democratically-decided production priorities.
Hm, really interesting, I have no idea. Google won a DOD contract last year in summer, but I don't remember anything major happening.

A botnet targeting these three providers is unusual as well.
I'm not saying that they should not be active developers, but people who can enforce change across the entire organization.

Previous Job (2500+ devs by the time I left) had an in-house RPc system that was being moved over to gRPC. That project was taking years because teams had no coordination on this process. The decision was made at some level and trickled out to everyone else. There was no single person or group who was in charge of:

- How services would be discovered
- Implementation Patterns of how Services & Methods will be defined
- Standardization of which libraries to use
- Examples and Pre-build shared libraries that provide the stuff like tracing, monitoring, retries, etc...
- Advocating for the changes

SRE seems to fall into the position of advocating business value for development practices that compete with business objectives that can provide value as well. At large organizations, if you don't have a central point that can set development objectives and be the one who teams can go to with "this pattern doesn't work for us, we can do this but we need buy in from other teams" issues and have directives handed down.

Unless you operate in an environment where the only cross-team communication is well versioned public APIs, then you will run into issues where you have to conflicting needs between teams and need someone to set a vision (this can be a group of people, rotating people, or a single person. how is not the issue)

Any system that rewards winners is going to see people lose.

Now I’m not suggesting we should do away with capitalism either. Just that we shouldn’t fetish over it as the perfect solution.
I understand what you're saying but skepticism is also a tool for manipulation.

We now have a significant number of people who are rejecting the Covid vaccine because they're "skeptical" or "waiting for the evidence" or, the worst, they've "done their own research".

Hint: some random guy talking about this in his basement and putting the video up on YouTube is not "research".

The fact of the matter is that we simply can't be skeptical about everything and research everything. It's physically impossible. It's why we delegate authority to people and institutions who do actual research and have credibility. It's why I listen to the CDC about diseases and CERN when it comes to physics.

"Skepticism" these days is often a euphemism for confirmation bias.
I highly recommend the linked video (posted just above). It is not a natural law that pedestrians die on streets/roads, but it is a result of this typical North American road design.
I’ve literally never met the CEO of my small company. I once engaged with him on social media and had no response. Literally doesn’t recognize my name. Yet I built the majority of the product his success complete depends upon. He will get massive rewards if it succeeds and I have no stock.

I’d call that a disconnect.
Someone needs to pay for the storage and additional generation—both the direct costs and the externalities. Why not let the market figure out who pays for it?

If factories can’t afford to pay those prices, they’ll have to rework their business model, or maybe relocate to areas with cheaper power.
That doesn’t make sense. People can’t own the same NFT, just the same way two people can’t own the same bitcoin. Can a creator make multiple copies, aka a limited ‘print run’ of the same artwork? Of course, and this is common in the physical the art world as well. It shouldn’t be a surprise they are doing it in the digital at world.

One thing Heather Heying talks about with some frequency is the bias in science towards "Big Science", that is, expensive science with complicated studies and huge funding requirements and expensive machinery. These are the things our scientific institutions prioritize and highlight.

Science can be much cheaper, but nobody's interested in cheap science if it doesn't advance their careers.

It's similar to how NASA was obsessed with putting people into space for a long time. That's basically adding a gigantic expense to the exploration of space. When they decided to stop all that shit and use robots and probes and leave the human out of it, the science of exploring space became much cheaper (relatively) and we got far more out of it.
This is probably a bad place to ask this question. Posters here are likely to be biased to the minority for which capitalism is doing great.
This was really poor science. It graded me as 85% likely to be female.. there's nothing "female" about me. They also only used two questions to characterize each trait they were looking for. They also attempted to measure honesty and empathic-ness, something that women will always purposefully report as being higher than it is in reality.
I mentioned the Gtk-server above. You might be able to use it across an SSH connection even without X forwarding.
Simpler is an advantage in that world, if you can understand the functioning of your device to the cycle level then you have a much better chance of delivering something that will work reliably.
This is somehow super retro cool. I remember the 8032 being the most serious computer I'd seen to date. Wordpro 4+ and something called "The Manager" in use at my high school, plus the rebadged daisywheel printer Commodore had at the time (CBM 6400?) just had "serious computer" written all over them, right before the IBM PC steamrollered all of that into oblivion.

100MHz. The software you could run! Add a megabyte or so of full speed, pageable RAM expansion. Every computer language right up to C++ (if it works on the 8-bit Arduino it could be shoehorned into a fast 6502 - limited stack? Who cares, just do the big stack in software. Special zero page? Just use it as glorified CPU registers).

What's the point really? But awesome all the same.
Not the US government, which gives massive deference to private actors.

It would take weeks if not months to do something like that at the federal level, our government doesn't move fast.
That was fun! Thanks for sharing!
Wasn't meant as a critique or nitpicking, just an honest question. I am not a native speaker either.
Doesn't the 300M he spent on the yacht get distributed into the economy?

I don't understand why people want higher taxes on high income, i don't want the government to distribute that money. I rather it get distributed to the company and its employees building that yacht than adding it to the national budget.
Completely disagree on both counts. The desktop peek feature is gone which I used regularly to look at stats on my desktop widgets. Right clicking the taskbar has removed all the previous options and now only shows settings. I used that to open task manager with 2 clicks and it had a much larger surface area than just the start button. The non-optional grouping is just completely terrible. Not having an option to keep the taskbar on the edges is awful. The start menu has removed all grouping options and is now far less useful than it was. The new quick access bar doesn't show you the volume unless you hover over it

Explorer has completely made the right click useless that had a lot of utilities I used and now it takes 2 clicks to access them. The icons are fine but they removed all customisation like adding images to the icons which I used for improved readability

All this and it's not even consistent. The windows defender screen is still the old one. The eject disk menu is as old as windows 7. The improvements are inconsistent and as a result, extremely ugly to me. Also you can't even see seconds on the time. Basic crap like this is missing. Why...
> researchers presented both depressed and non-depressed participants with a button and a green light. They then asked the participants to figure out to what degree their responses (pushing the button) controlled that light. Depressed participants were much better at judging the degree of their control, while participants who weren't depressed tended to assume that they had more control over the light than they actually did.

Well that settles it then, doesn't it?

The immoral part is "while millions around him suffer", not "the amount of wealth one person can have," and billionaires don't actually have all that much to do with that.
Yes but more than just zipper merges. There was street realignment which also included a braided flow (crossing lanes because not only would they need to funnel traffic from so of canal to the tunnel but also allow them to get off on a local street before the point of no return to the tunnel and same for the ‘uptown’ side) anyway it was an over complicated solution that only worked in simulation and not with real cars and trucks so none of it was implemented.

According to [1], over half the 700k were over 75, and about 3/4 were above 65. I am not sure what the median retirement age is in the US, but I would assume most people retire around 65. It sounds unlikely to me that "a vast majority (i.e. 350k+) held jobs".

All capitalist companies are centrally-planned hierarchical structures and run on quarterly plans.
You counter all skepticism the same way: by a designing an experiment to test the skeptic's hypothesis and presenting the results of the experiment to the skeptic. Name-calling, censorship, and persecution are not going to bring the skeptic to your side, but they will almost certainly discourage future skeptics from presenting their findings.

If we allow politicians to turn science into a dogma instead of an investigative process, progress will come to a grinding halt.
It's as if these people haven't heard of the government and how much money they have to throw around to fix their wish list of problems. Why is it a private individuals responsibility?
> Giving money to both corporations and to individuals destroys the motivation of both to do better.

No, it really doesn't. At most, this represents a one-time-only bump in disposable income, which you either spend to meet your immediate needs, save it up, or blowin up on whatever tickles your fancy.

A one-time bump in disposable income does not change anyone's drive, determination, or professionalism.

If that assertion had any bearing on reality, all companies which hand out hiring bonuses to new hires or pay any sort of bonus would be seeing determined workers turning into slackers overnight, which makes absolutely no sense at all.
This is first time I've heard that freebsd has good rt. Are there any good benchmarks or something comparing it to preempt_rt?
I’m not really sure that you understand MMT. MMT isn’t about giving out a free pass to print money, it simply states that deficits are the primary driver of inflation rather than changes in the money supply. That’s not the same thing as giving out a free pass, in fact, it’s proponents would state that in the face of rising inflation one should reduce budget deficits.

I agree with you about the article - but I reject your thesis that this is unknowable. you need to design an experiment to measure the success of predictive outcomes from 'depressed' and 'normal' people.

does this generalize? probably not. I'd be more concerned about coming up with a characterization of who is 'depressed'..but presumably people have made some progress on that?
There's never been an economy that wasn't resource-based. Money is just the medium by which prices and price movements are allowed to allocate those (scarce) resources in a market economy, and so far it has proven to be the most efficient way to achieve that.
I've never written down code for school notes. At least nothing more than a few lines. There is no point.
> In most places (not California) your property will likely be assessed higher

In California it will be assessed higher, there is just a cap in the rate of increase (lots of places have copied this though none in the US have as low a cap as California’s “lower of 2% or rate of general inflation”, and few combine their cap on increases with as low a cap on nominal property tax rates [1%] as California.)

I think this is true but for the opposite reason you do. The number is few because most people upgrade _less_ often, not more.
I'm not sure I buy your point about ISA extensions. Many programs still target Windows XP or Windows 7, and if that "lag" remains the case, then it will be many, many years until vendors can reasonably require Windows 11 as a proxy for those ISA extensions. In the meantime, vendors can offer a Windows XP-11 version, and a Windows 11 "optimized" version, but at that rate, it would be just as much work to put the optimizations in the single version and make the program automatically detect the CPU, saving the user the trouble of figuring out which version they need while also making the CPU optimizations work on older Windows versions.
I’m sitting at ElixirConf listening to Chris McCord talking about new features in Phoenix LiveView.
Even though i'm no fan, i think that capitalism is a matches better with our genes. Competition for resources and mates seems to be what drives us. Criminals and scientists alike exert the highest effort till they hit 30 years of age. The old status pyramid does not care, if we wish it away. But i still think better forms of living are possible. Instead of a tribal us vs them, be it neighbour / sports team / city / state / skin colour / political affiliation / whatever...

I think a more inclusive, communal style of living is possible. Would lower the rate of depression caused by loneliness / alienation too i think.
