For people that don’t see the problem and are happily using these features, here’s an explanation of the second problem with these sorts of features, additional to the “it’s not just JavaScript with types which is what the label said” reason which is the focus of the article.

The real trouble occurs when TypeScript implements something because that looks like the way things are heading, but then they don’t head that way, and JavaScript and TypeScript diverge incompatibly. The type stuff is generally fairly safe, and fundamentally necessary, but some of the other stuff they’ve added isn’t safe and isn’t… as necessary, at least. Decorators are the current prime case of this divergence problem: they added a feature because it was useful, lots of people wanted it, and that was what people expected JavaScript to get before long, and some were using already through a Babel extension but people were sad about having to choose between nifty features (Babel) and types (TypeScript); and then because they’d added something not in JavaScript, why not go a bit further? and so reflection metadata came along; and then… oh, turns out decorators are actually heading in a completely different and extremely incompatible direction in TC39 now, but people are depending on our old way and PANIC! It’s been a whole lot of bother that will continue to cause even more trouble, especially when they try to switch over to the new, if it gets stabilised—that’s going to be an extremely painful disaster for many projects, because “experimental” or not, it’s a widely-used feature of TypeScript.

This is not the only such case; there’s one other that caused a lot of bother comparatively recently, but I can’t think what it was (I don’t work in TypeScript much).

Sciter used what was loosely a fork of JavaScript when it started, and diverged, for quite decent reasons in some cases I will admit, but this divergence caused more and more trouble, until recently they gave up and switched to JavaScript, … except with a couple of incompatible deviations already and more on the table as probabilities. Sigh. I had hoped a lesson had been learned.

So yeah, I’m content to call these things misfeatures. TypeScript overstepped its bounds for reasons that seemed good at the time, and may even have been important for social reasons at the time, but you’re better to avoid these features.

My bot was in full time development for more than 3 months before I started trading live with it, I had traded manually previously for 15+ years, and I was highly confident the bot was better than me. Why not put money into it? The execution framework is extremely stable.

My models do not use any leverage, and they perform better in volatile markets than stable ones. In fact, the only way they can gain alpha is from avoiding drawdowns because during long signals they get exactly the same returns as SPX.

And yes, you are right, it is incredibly difficult to make a profitable bot. 2020 isn't the full story, that's when I decided to give it my full time effort of 80+ hour weeks.

As long as the bots continue to perform near the backtest, yes eventually I would become wealthy with them without other monetization, and as mentioned in other posts, a net worth in the high 8 figures, probably dwarfs what I can make with this website and service so I make no guarantees that it will always be around. That said, I'm enjoying running it and having real people use my product, and it does not hinder my own returns, at least not at our current scale.

Side note: FWIW I think it's probably harder to make a successful crypto bot than equity bot because crypto is far more speculative and doesn't have as much fundamental and macro backing it up--would have to be mostly TA, sentiment and there's bound to be more inherent randomness to the movements since it is so new and speculative.

I'm not going to speculate on the accuracy of 90% value, but I will say that appropriately prefixed objects substantially help with performance when you have tons of small-ish files. Maybe most orgs don't have that need but in operational realms doing this with your logs make the response faster.

Sure there are solutions.

But my main point is that HideousKojima's "statically-typed" solution would result in a runtime type error if it was given unexpected input, just like a dynamically typed solution.
> Java and C# had object factories

Object factories were competing models (plural) for creating any object. A total replacement for classes and the like, not an augmentation.

Here's one such model:

function createCar(spec) {
const {speed} = spec;

let position = 0;

return Object.freeze({
move() {
position += speed;
},
get position() {
return position;
}
});
}

And so you'd find this or any other model or multiple competing models in the very same code base.

It sucked.

You are going to be mutating the internal state of objects. Using this and new or not.

Numeric enums are a lot more useful than string enums, in my view.

That's true, but diagnosing other bugs is an absolute pain in the butt when your enum value at runtime is 0, 1, or 2. You get all of the readability of C with none of the performance :)

> Your standardized test scores to a large extent determine your quality of life.

This is largely untrue unless one defines quality of life with a very narrow set of criteria and/or lives in a relatively small echo chamber.

I know tons of people with very high scores who have very low QoL, and I know many multiples of that with mediocre scores who have very high QoL.

The skill (or maybe luck) to find a way to use the abilities one does have in order to provide high utility seems to be the common thread in the high QoL folks.
This story has been submitted many times, and discussed a few:

The copy on this seems anti-cloud, but Backblaze and other providers mitigate bitrot with redundancy and things like RAID. I'm happy enough putting things on the cloud, since it will last longer than my on-prem hard-drives, which need to be spun up every few weeks to keep them working. Not to mention keeping my various SSDs in good shape by using them frequently.

I expect my SSDs to last 10 years since I don't do heavy writes to them often. Anyway, I do my ritual of buying a new spinning rust HD every 5 years and copying everything from my old drives for posterity of important data. Spinning platter HDs are my 'magnetic tape' for data storage.
I don't think a blogpost full of empty vitriolic arguments is the best rebuttal proving "the content was shit". It just shows this particular blogger had some axe to grind and cannot be taken seriously.

My understanding of the issue is that the content itself was "not shit", but the timing and context in which it was likely to be perceived at the very least, associated it with less palatable implications, which may or may not hold, and are typically borne by counterproductive groups. And there was some evidence that indeed this was how the article was perceived by such groups.

But the article itself, in a completely epistemic sense, was "not shit" at all. It was actually very insightful for anyone interested in the context of the actual science involved.

So this is not as black and white as you suggest, imho, and even if it were in this particular case, the broader issue raised is still important:

If you do science A which is useful for good thing B, but has the potential to be falsely interpreted as bad thing C by bad group D, should we expect an overreaching group E to shadowban/discredit A?

I say no. I would much rather have a proper discussion instead.

The same is true with regards to viruses, is it not?

I certainly hope they've found a pathway viruses can't evolve around, but that seems pretty unlikely. We've seen antiviral resistance evolve just like antibiotic resistance does. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/professionals/antivirals/antiviral-d...

- 1 Gbit/s fiber
- TP-Link media converter
- UI Security Gateway
- UI PoE Switch
- UI Cloud Key+ Gen. 2 (PoE fed)
- UI Flex Mini switch (PoE fed)
- 2x UI AP Lite (PoE fed)
- RPi for services

Pros:
- Reliable 1 Gbit/s symmetric with dedicated IPv6/48 block with prefix delegation, so no NAT on IPv6.
- Good WiFi coverage, typically ~300-500 Mbit/s
- Easy management and option to add camera surveillance
- No power cables to most equipment

Cons:
- UI software at times flaky
- USG doesn't support real-time protection at 1 GBit/s (but at ~120 Mbit/s)

They should be looking at Aurora, not Dynamo. Using Dynamo as the primary store for relational data (3000 tables!) sounds like an awful idea to me. I’d rather stay on Oracle.

It's generally around 35-40Mbps upstream and between 600 and 1.2Gbps observed downstream, depending on the time of day.

I would also very much rather have a symmetric connection than what I have now. We are within range of a fiber tap for Comcast's 3Gbps symmetric ftth service but construction costs are too high right now for them to do it. I keep asking every six months regardless. There's no other game in town as far as I can tell.

Comcast Business will run a 100Mbps symmetric fiber for ~$750/mo, maybe that would be a thing to do to get fiber in the door and then switch back to residential after the contract earns out.
Often they're measured on time to complete a call/ticket and they're not allowed to hang up on the customer, so in cases when I need to get something done, I insist that I have all the time in the world. You can keep me on hold for the 3 to 6 hours this will take, I don't mind. Just keep me on hold and I'll wait patiently, Yes, I do have all day.

They'll cajole me to hang up, say that I'll get a call back, etc, but I insist that they can keep me on hold while we wait for whoever to finish their lunch break or get back from their meeting.

Often the issue gets resolved in 10 minutes this way.

And surprisingly: it stays resolved with no worse success rate than playing call back tag.

If it's actually taking a long time (which doesn't happen often), then I hang up and try a new rep or a new support channel.
Which reminds me of a catastrophe movie, where all countries launched all their nukes, and earth became radioactively poisoned. A submarine survived, looking for signs of life, and they received sporadic messages like "the whales are fine" (which made sense to them since whales live under-water). They went to the origin of the signal, only to find a computer turning on and off because of its solar panel, sending messages at every boot.
Exactly my thought. For added hilarity, I got recruiter ads when I visited.

On some level, this is the strongest argument in favor of Facebook's original position - that they oughtn't be responsible for distinguishing fact from fiction. Ask any entity to discern truth at scale and there will be errors and vociferous debates.

So, what's preferable? Unfettered venom and lies mixed with the best attempts at rationality or the discourse moderated by unseen arbiters and algorithms?

Ideally, there would be multiple forums. But given how technology scales and how network effects operate, we'd likely wind up with a few enormous entities.

Thus, I refer back to the choice above. Which will it be?
Why a computer would need more than 640 kb of RAM and 10 Mbps 10BaseT Ethernet?

In my case my home network is part of the building network (4 apartments), my main server is in the basement (for noise and cooling reasons) and ~ 10 people in the building are using the network, making 1 Gbps sometimes too slow. My secondary server is in my apartment, so the sync between the 2 servers and the migration of VMs are constrained by the network performance, 10 Gbps would be a lot better, more than that ... not now, but in the future when 25 Gbps will become the baseline, I will use it.

DyanmoDB is pretty much the opposite of magic.

It is a resource that can often be the right tool for the job but you really have to understand what the job is and carefully measure Dynamo up for what you are doing.

It is _easy_ to misunderstand or miss something that would make Dynamo hideously expensive for your use case.
This list seems to carry a heap of bias with it. Enterprise cares about what works for them, and quick-and-dirty is just fine. Startups care about what works for a broader customer base and need higher quality. Different needs, and different styles. Neither approach is wrong... but they serve different purposes and will appear like cruddy work if you put an enterprise approach into the startup world. And vice versa.

The one point which seems completely wrong is #9 - I've never seen agile-hamster-wheel-rituals bog down an enterprise shop. I've seen the other extreme, where in an enterprise, platforms are dealt out to the devs like a deck of cards, and as long as you keep your platforms running and working for the business, your manager barely even checks in with you. I'd easily go days, often weeks, and sometimes even months without any discussions at all with my boss.
The issue is we don't have anything useful to compare those results against. Any other system in place over the same period in history could have just as easily yielded the same net result.

It's all right these days, if you're into mindless entertainment; they got rid of a lot of the more toxic parts (the_donald and co) and pornography is de-emphasized, likely will be removed altogether in the future. My feeds are now mainly poorly Paint-edited memes, cat photos / videos, and sometimes a bit of drama from the relationships or "am I the asshole" subreddits.

I don't actually do that much for mental stimulation anymore. HN doesn't do it for me anymore since three quarters are about technology or industries I'm far removed from, plus I never liked the SV culture of overhyping and grinding out startups to fish for early retirement. It's that culture that gave us the gig economy and that encourages the sigma male grindset bullshit where if you don't work 16 hours a day maintaining a healthy daily balance of soylent, melatonin, LSD and meditation you're not cool enough.

The point is, there is no such thing as a "2nd hand digital asset".

2nd hand exists for physical items only, because they are subject to wear&tear, they degrade, and copying them means creating something new from scratch that didn't exist before...a copy of a wardrobe is a new wardrobe that happens to look the same as another one. And if someone sells me his old wardrobe, then he no longer has it.

The same isn't true for digital information. A file can be copied 10 times, 10000 times or 10E10 times, it doesn't matter...the original is not degraded in the process, and all copies are exactly the same and the same as the original. And if A sends the file to B, A can still have a copy of the file, indistinguishable from the one B now has.
Type annotations are the whole point of TypeScript. The rest is mostly distraction and historical decisions that made sense at the time but have aged poorly.
Thanks for your contribution. I just wanted to add some context for the problem of N items that share a median value and they want to reach independently all the same value. :) Thanks for the specification!
"new music" is too derivative of old music. I'm into EDM. There is a techno revival right now. The problem is that new techno tracks sound exactly the same way as techno track 20/30 years ago. Why should I even bother listening to these new tracks at first place when they just copy what was done before?

Before, big labels could rely on ignorance to sell something old as "fresh". It doesn't work today when it's really easy to distribute and share old music.

EDM is in need for innovation, yet rely heavily on nostalgia. It's not going to help younger artists if they don't invent something of their own.
