I live in Denmark, and I am so frustrated that my country has invested so heavily in biomass plants for heating and electricity. We are supposed to be one of the countries that lead the way and demonstrate how the rest of the world can de-carbonize, but even if biomass was truly carbon-neutral (and I doubt that it is, at least in the short term of the next 50-100 years) it does not scale to the rest of the world, because we would need to have planted the forests for that a long time ago.

I live in an area that is planned to get central heating from a biomass plant, but I have chosen to invest in a heat pump instead. Yes, this will in part be driven by electricity from biomass, but hopefully our energy mix will become more sustainable in the near future, and at least I won't be locked into 100% biomass for the next 30 years.

The same name is a really good question. But since SRI TerraVision and the Art+Com TerraVision both seems to be started at the same time around 1993 and both use the same SGI hardware (an Onyx) I could image that Brian from SGI was in contact with both teams.
I agree with the article, there is no meaningful distinction between a compiler and what people typically call a transpiler except if you have a two way translation.

Also „machine code“ is not even the last step anymore, it gets further cached, interpreted compiled to instructions by the hardware. It’s abstraction layers all the way down.

FreeBSD _is_ a Unix, being derived from the BSD Net-2 release in the early 1990s.

GNU and Linux distributions are actually Unix clones, with different distributions mimicking or incorporating code from the various open source and proprietary Unix operating systems. For example, Slackware used to use an rc-style init system like BSD. Linux cgroups (underlying tech like Docker) look very much like Solaris zones. GNU coreutils have POSIX compatibility modes. Systemd looks a lot like Solaris SMF. Stuff like ZFS and DTrace were imported from OpenSolaris. And so on.
This post is oddly adamant about a point that it makes with (what it acknowledges to be) very weak evidence. If the Typescript compiler is really a compiler, then JSweet is surely also a compiler? Both go from a stricter type system to a laxer one, and neither is really reversible.

What really comes through is that the author seems to think that transpiler status is somehow lesser, and the whole nitpicking about compilers/transpilers is just an attempt to make sure Nim lands squarely on the compiler side.

Maybe the conclusion that should be reached is the one the author is hinting towards at the end - which is that transpiler and compiler don't really have a strong distinction, and their usage is muddied enough that saying whether something is "actually" a transpiler or a compiler is mostly pointless. (And then there would be less worry that people "mistakenly" call Nim a transpiler, eh?)

> just like adding branded content and sticking it in the skeletal husk of a bad shooter game for 12 year olds wasn't an improvement when Epic did it.

The reductive ‘Fortnite is for kids’ dismissal reminds me of the angry reaction by a particular cohort to the first cel-shaded Zelda game on the Gamecube. They dreamed of ‘realistic’ graphics targeted toward serious gamers and even claimed they were betrayed by WIP footage that teased their dream.

Fortnite is a game with an incredibly high skill ceiling around its building mechanic. I watched Jonathan ‘Fatal1ty’ Wendell (who is currently a 40-year-old and one of the earliest professional gamers) struggle in deep concentration on trying to incrementally improve his building speed and technique. I know many adults who play and enjoy the game, and they seem to enjoy the branded tie-ins. They are mature enough for their ego to be unaffected by the game’s cartoon art style, chosen instead of a gritty Call of Duty realism. It has solid mechanics and the content has been highly polished, even when not tied in to branded content.

Even so, I’m still not clear how that connects to Ready Player One being a dull and cynical exploitation of nostalgia shoutouts/callbacks.

Strange comment, since the semantics of all words are debatable and no central arbiter can be more than an opinion.
That is, ironically, one of the main reasons I decided to switch to fish instead of zsh — it’s even less compatible with bash. I’ll never be in a position where a script is subtly broken because it’s running in zsh instead of bash. Rather, it’ll just fail altogether and I can work from there.

Everyone has been using sentiment analysis for a while with any recorded call with executives. Frankly it’s often not exceptionally helpful and having longer duration knowledge about a company and its executives can be better for understanding when something in their posture changes. The fun alternative analyses I’ve heard of are when people start tracking executives’ travel to see who they’re meeting with.
When you hold a hammer everything looks like a nail. When your job is to write code you think the entire business is the code.

The UX org thinks the business lives and dies on design, the engineering org thinks the same about code, and the finance org thinks the same about budgets. None of these elements are optional but it's uncommon that any of them are actually what the business sells for money. Most businesses are not "technology first" businesses and at these companies you must not make perfect the enemy of good enough by obsessing about things like code quality or artistic design purity.

Sure bugs can reduce customer facing quality, but not as much as completely lacking the new features that your team put off for two sprints so they could switch CSS preprocessors for the second time in 8 months. Look at all the companies founded by former programmers with perfect clean code who fail miserably at being an actual business. Then compare that to the number of successful businesses with absolutely junk tech that do silly things like appear in the S&P 500. It's not that I think garbage code is great, simply that over focusing on code quality is frequently selfish and benefits developers at the expense of actual customers.

True, I think I have something like that in multiple places for tests that are used to validate prod code. But our code won't lock people's devices down with no recourse.

I think what made me scratch my head is that they didn't consider that generating random phone numbers might lead to collisions. I've been hesitant to publish fake datasets that have randomly generated and validly formatted SIN/SSN numbers in it for that exact reason.

"Nick Clegg, Facebook’s vice-president of global affairs, has said he now takes his Monday morning meetings in the metaverse with a virtual table and whiteboard."

I once had a short consulting engagement with a VR company that spun out of Second Life and had to be "in world" the entire time. They had made a VR office space for the dev team to congregate in. The first time I beamed into a meeting room and saw a dozen blank faced avatars staring back at me I got filled with anxiety. I've been working remote for 13 years and I can't remember another time I felt anxious like that running a remote meeting.

The people were great and the spatial audio was interesting, but I found it really distracting to have to be in a VR world when really I just wanted to be in emacs coding. I felt mentally drained by the end of every day, worse than being in an office working a full day. I felt "always on" in a way I don't in an office (and certainly don't when remote). Maybe there's a niche here, but it's really not for me.

I said sex work is an old profession to exemplify why banning it doesn't work. I certainly didn't present the age of the profession as the sole reason for legalizing it.

I don't think you consider assassination and prostitution equivilant crimes, yet you made the comparison. Why? What's the point of taking something out of context to invalidate it?

If you have reasons for opposing the legalization of sex work, they're completely lost on me. Maybe start there instead of pedantry.
Er, okay. In the tech space, there are often words that refer back to some real or de-facto owner, or strong pattern of historical use. I'm saying this is a case where that isn't true. Making definitive statements about what is, and what isn't a transpiler, is difficult.

I mean, to me it is a transpiler because it is a "frontend" to several other languages.

You choose whether you want to emit C, C++, or JS. There's an experimental, fledgling community LLVM frontend for Nim, that is what I would call a "compiler":

https://github.com/arnetheduck/nlvm

What Jetbrains calls Kotlin -> JavaScript, is "transpilation"

What Google calls Java -> JavaScript in j2cl, is "transpilation"

But this is all pedantic IMO.
This is the programmer's way.
The advantage of that, though, is that you can still benefit from the many "how do I do X in bash" posts on various fora, Stack Exchange, etc. With the more esoteric shells you have a much smaller community.
What I'm describing was just a desire for a very simple "this script requires python version >= X" error, with the ability to write unfettered python version X code below it, in a single file script.

import sys
if sys.version_info.major < 3:
raise Exception("this script requires python version >= 3")

plus an extra line or two if you're worried about minor versions.

The definition this article puts up is, without references, is: " A transpiler on the other hand is a tool that converts between two languages while keeping the same level of abstraction. A theoretical perfect transpilation is therefore a two-way process where you could go back and forth between languages."

Is the level same-level-of-abstraction really part of the usual meaning of the term?

Wanna bet there is now a rash of interviewers who have 'breakdowns' about a problem in their lives?
Shifting to only buying green electricity only actually works if so many people and businesses move to the green energy providers that there becomes more supply of carbon-based energy than there is demand. All that a marginal level of people making the request does is shift what production goes where, and not the overall level of demand for electricity in the grid. And since very few businesses are willing to make this type of change, and businesses consume a greater portion of electricity than direct consumer use, personally switching to “true green” has very little effect on the situation unless it becomes a mass cultural movement to do so.

Which doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it, it can only become a movement if enough people put their money where their mouth is and make the switch. But the current situation appears such that, without politicians intervening, there will not be enough entities willing to make such a switch to have an effect on the overall grid. (And therefore without politician intervention, our only real hope is non-carbon based energy becoming so cost effective that it displaces almost all carbon based energy use)

I agree. I’ve seen a few libraries (I can’t remember which) instead take the approach of a constructor that takes a single-use struct as an argument. The struct implements Default and all of its members are public. You can then use ..Struct::default() to splice in the default values, and override only the values you want to set.

It ends up being an approximation of named optional arguments, albeit with a somewhat more clunky syntax.
Yes. Empowerment is mistaken to mean power and authority over others instead of power and control over one's own destiny.
