"Turns out people love array programming but hate terse syntax."

People hate Java and COBOL and XML and PowerShell and ActionScript and SQL for their verbose syntax. People adore `x ? y : z` while complaining about unreadable terse syntax that with symbols that don't say what it does in English. Why do people put up with data[4] to get an item out of an array with a special single-purpose symbol heavy syntax instead of index(data, 4)? How come the symbols are never the problem when people are familiar with them?

Can it just as easily be explained by "people like what they're used to, people hate change"?
That's the Nordic model which has been a collosal failure. The workers get harassed by both police and clients alike, they are no better off. Actual legitimacy would allow workers to better organize and protect themselves, and would also better mitigate human trafficking by leveraging regulation. Germany is working on improving its laws to this end.
I wonder if crypto will enable future crimes like blackmail as a service.

E.g.
> Escort moves to country B from country A.

> Acquires list of clients and determines their local contacts

> Leaves country B

> Informs previous clients that they need to submit monthly BTC payments or else contacts will receive secretly recorded videos

Continue to jump between countries and create larger baseline of blackmail dividends.
I will be pleasantly amused if China's imperial aspirations actually stop at Taiwan. It would be so tempting to turn the Belt and Road into an invasion route.
No. Learn Bash. The biggest benefit of bash is that you're virtually guaranteed to find it on any linux server. It's ubiquity is its strength. Write a bash script once and take comfort in the fact that it will be able to run on virtually any server for years to come. Does bash have a bunch of cryptic syntax and weird quirks? Sure, but that cryptic syntax and those weird works should remain pretty stable in the coming decades.
> Garbage collector field day.

Why? I'm not sure Garbage Collector cares if it's dynamically resolved or not.

Also, not all DI is runtime. E.g. Dagger2 uses build-time injection, i.e. it just generates glue code, which is easy on JIT or AOT compilation.
Quick Tips Regarding Kitchen Renovation in Toronto
No matter how often you paint the walls or get new units and furniture, it does not give you the right results. That is because the problem is not with the color or cabinets. It lies in the old and boring design. You can change that by getting kitchen renovation in Toronto. This way, you can reinvent the place completely.

Sure, but the alternative here is also pretty good. Conserving the land and not putting more oil on the market is also an outcome worth subsidising.

There are plenty of good points regarding issues like defaults that you set getting changed and the fact that you are using a device that has to be aware of you speech to function. I agree that we should be aware that we are giving up something in exchange for using any device with a microphone that listens for prompts. Personally I'd rather have an Amazon device on the basis that Amazon doesn't view me as a product (mostly), they view me as a customer and they cherish their customers. It is very deep in the culture they built. Any notion that you might bust the trust of your customers would quickly get squashed within Amazon. This is based on having worked there and having seen this firsthand at the highest levels of the company. The reason I hesitate is that advertising as a business is growing rapidly in Amazon. Advertising puts me in the "product" role which creates a conflict between me as customer and me as product. I sure hope the leadership at Amazon sticks to their guns on the leadership principals. I am also a chrome, android, and gmail user. I'd never use a google voice assistant. This is a bit irrational because the privacy leaking from my browser and email is probably way worse than anything else.

I wish this was a thing again. I spent most of my childhood living at a cemetery (it was my dad's side job to mow the lawns, open and close the gates, keep the water running etc., and we lived in a house right at the gate) and I always felt like the place wasn't dead because of the people buried there, but because we made it that way. We transformed what was essentially a park with tombstones reminding us of our loved ones into a weird, ominous, liminal space.

This is actually really common with natural resource extraction rights (not just in the US) - use them or lose it.

What is a bit surprising is that the same problems that show up with land use/housing, i.e. someone just sitting on a valuable resource, not using it, and watching prices go up is not considered an issue here. We cannot just allow all resources to be owned by organizations or people with no willingness to use them. So this is not something super simple to solve in the bigger scheme of things.

Christianity accounts for 2.3 Billion people in the world, the next highest is Islam at 1.9 Billion. Unaffiliated (of which Athiests are only a portion) is only 1.2 Billion worldwide. Thus, Christianity is, by definition, a majority.

In one example to prove my second point, politicians in Texas are pushing Christian morality around abortion into laws. This is the opposite of being oppressed.

Yes, but the best way to sell USDT is via crypto legs: buy BTC/USDT and sell BTC/USD - the net result of this is selling USDT/USD. The actual USDT/USD markets just aren't real/deep enough.

So the price in USDT terms skyrockets and the price in USD terms craters.

That's a great point. I am writing now, short stories. I write 1000 words almost daily. Also I have started to submit my short stories to competitions to see if they are any good. Eventually, I will move onto novels.

And the plan is once I start making enough money from writing, I will quit. I set 25 years deadline since I am not really good at writing, and then I will be retired anyways and kids will be done with college.

> Bash is not perfect and that's ok. It can't handle floating point math? bc can, so use it. That's the beauty of the Unix philosophy.

Nailed it. It's perfectly okay that bash doesn't have every feature under the sun because it's main goal is to let the user interact with the OS, which includes calling the right program for the right job.
This approach also works extremely well if you want to stall or cancel a project in a big corporation for political reasons.

Just embed one of your engineer in their team to gain knowledge, but fail to deliver on almost all items except a few. You will end-up pitting "your" exec against "their", and it will take them forever to solve the problem. If conflict resolution looms, just send everyone in summer or winter vacation for several weeks.
It's not market inefficiency causing that, but rather expected value. If a company has $1bn in the bank and you expect them to squander it, then you'd be foolish to value them based off of it.

This same logic explains the value of Amazon; they plow profits back into the business, making the future business bigger and more valuable. Their shareholders clearly agree with that type of longer-term thinking and have rewarded Amazon's growth with giant valuations repeatedly over the years.

I'm not a libertarian and I'm not a small government person.

I believe inimited government, not small government.

If you need a giant government to enforce law then you need a big government.

For example, if you have a government of say 100 people, and they decided to hire 10 people and start a fast food restaurant I would be against this new government of 110 people. On the other hand, if the same government needed to hire 5000 people to combat drugs, I'd support that.

Why? Because limited government means government should only do a limited number of things. Opening a fast food restaurant is not the proper place of a government. Enforcing drug law is. Government can be as large as necessary to accomplish that.

Well there's major drawback here:

> nlvm does not:

- understand C - as a consequence, header, emit and similar pragmas will not work - neither will the fancy importcpp/C++ features
- support all nim compiler flags and features - do file bugs for anything useful that's missing

One of the unique and best things about Nim (IMO) beyond being multi-target, is that you can do things like say "emit this exact C/C++ string", or "import this type from an existing header".

With this LLVM backend, that doesn't work, and it doesn't support JS (which probably isn't a big deal to most people).

That means you can't do stuff like this:

type
VectorIterator {.importcpp: "std::vector<'0>::iterator".} [T] = object

# std::vector<int>::iterator x;
var x: VectorIterator[cint]

You seem to argue two things in the same comment, which conflict with each other.

If there is a stagnation (the price stands still), then people would start using it (since your point is that people are not using it now because the price goes up), how would that lead to a crash in that case?

Not that I agree with any of your points, your message seems confusing as it stands now.
OP, make sure to test your site with a non-maximized desktop browser that is taller than it is wide. Your site has severe layout issues in this orientation, with text overlapping text, the clock overlapping the text, the links overlapping the logo.

No, transpilers are completely different than compilers.

For a transpiler, you generally need a tokenizer, then a parser to parse the token stream into an AST, which you will then have some set of transformation steps, often transforming into other ASTs for optimization steps or incremental transforms to the final target, before you take the final AST and serialize it out into the target.

Wherease for a compiler, you generally need a tokenizer, then a parser to parse the token stream into an AST, which you will then have some set of transformation steps, often transforming into other ASTs for optimization steps or incremental transforms to the final target, before you take the final AST and serialize it out into the target.

If I was hiring for a compiler position and someone showed up with 10 years of transpiler authorship on their resume, I wouldn't even look at them. Such divergent experience would be useless. It would be like hiring someone for a Javascript backend position when all they had was 10 years of intensive Javascript frontend experience. Madness. You'll go out of business making stupid hiring decisions like that.
The idea is that if you don't need a license or a degree to work in new fields. Software engineering is full of new fields in their infancy.

To say you only need a certain background to work is horribly misguided. You can be productive in many fields with a wide array of knowledge and education.

I'm not saying a frontend developer can write novel ML algorithms, but surely they can contribute in other capacities (like creating interfaces to work with the novel ML algorithms, which is meaningful in itself and requires new UX paradigms surely).
The lawsuit was really about FB converting H1B workers, of whom they already hired, into permanent US workers. They post a PERM position and then have to apply the H1B worker to it due to outdated immigration laws.

They argued that a company should not be able to do that if they can hire a minimally qualified US candidate, AKA someone who checks the job requirements.
> For example, would you sell your pancreas? Why not? Is it because a vital organ is not in the same class of goods as say a lightbulb? [...] Your kind of equivocation is morally lazy and conveniently abiological.

Speaking of lazy, that's a pretty ridiculous comparison. Depriving yourself of a vital organ is not the same as renting out your genitals for a limited time.

"Making a new person" is also a complete red herring. You can hire a surrogate to carry a baby to term, which is also paying to use someone else's genitals to actually make a new person. The only meaningful difference is the absence of "sex", so I think it's clear what you really have a problem with.
I was looking at it during the dip in July and thought it was too expensive. Of course it's up 100% since then. I also thought it was a bad time to buy when it was $2k.

It depends on you and your company's ethical take. Personally, if a vendor is providing anything of value to me, I might as well be taking cash from them. This includes sporting events or concerts, meals, golf, xmas gifts, whatever. If you work for a company that the vendor wants badly for the money or the credential, vendors are going to throw all of these things your way. I keep it simple: if we need to do business, I have a perfectly good conference room and we can do it there.

One area that's more fuzzy is free passes to user events, i.e., a DreamForce or Oracle World. We clear these per our process and are fine to accept them because we were going to spend money on sending someone anyway. We saved the company money. Also: it was never indirect between individuals, it was company to company.
Well, that’s because it was the point at which the interview started going well
"Heavily investing"

Eg. Stripe = 1 guy and 4 additional staffers. That's really peanuts for a company with > 4000 employees. They already did it in the past and abandoned it then.

Yeah, the subtext here is that BLM isn't really selling the land for any purpose but allowing extraction if you want. They're selling the land specifically for someone to start drilling.

There's not really a good way around this because even if there it was ruled that BLM couldn't refuse the lease next time they would just change the lease terms to be really really expensive, far more than conservationist movements could afford, and then offer a rebate once extraction began.
I had the impression we already had that discussion with Babel and TypeScript and the conclusion was, transpilers aren't really different from compilers, and we should simply calling them compilers.

I think, the background was the word transpiler was used by compiler creators as a way of gatekeeping.

I prefer to keep my utilities scripting and interactive shell the same. That way I don't have to keep two sets of gotchas in my head, and don't accidentally use the wrong syntax in one place or the other sometimes leading to confusing misbehaviours.

While I don't mix bash/zsh/sh/... I will consider python/node/other if I need specific things that they do well or I'm making something more than a simple tool or automation (for which bash is either underkill or just thoroughly unsuited). They are sufficiently different that I'm not going to cause myself the sort of mix-up I might with flipping between shell scripting syntaxes.
If and when there’s stagnation there will be no reason to hold crypto over fiat, and hence people will cash out.

You're talking about people who have already exited BTC - that's why they are holding USDT.

People flock to stables/fiat when uncertainty/risk increases, yes? So you have a bunch of people ($70b worth) who are currently in USDT. Then you have to account for all the people currently in crypto who would sell into stables/fiat in a black swan event.

What's the argument against this? You say that the argument is not well founded. Ok, fine. I've outlined my argument. What's the counter? What's the line of thinking where USDT holders en masse flock back into crypto when the safe haven that they already wanted to be in implodes?
