Sure the end compiled HTML is a mess, but that’s like complaining your bytecode or binary is messy. Who cares?

Everyone who downloads more data than necessary cares, or whose browser has to spend more battery power to parse that HTML, or who has to wait because you made a page that can't being rendered as it streams in, or any developer who needs to debug that mess in 2 years time because you couldn't write something simple and understandable and you've moved on to a new role.

(Not that any of those things are about semantic HTML specifically; they're more about caring about the structural output of your code.)
I like the explicit pipelining idea, seems much easier to reason about. Some comments:

I found the "# `|` can be used rather than newlines." a bit odd. So when using let, you're only transforming one column? I think the example would look weird with returns instead of |.

Depending on your intended target, it might help adoption if you stay closer to the naming conventions of that target. If you're targeting mainstream Java/Python/C#/Javascript etc. then functions need parentheses, "take 20" may be worse than slice, etc.

I think annotating microversions would get tiresome fast. I think the right way to think of this is that you put in a single version number like 1, and then only ever change that if you need to do backwards-compatible changes that cannot be handled by clever hacks in the runtime.

Also I think you should try writing one or more native wrappers in your intended target languages to make sure it's easy to interface between the two, even if it means you'd have to use dots in that language.

I could imagine an end game where the ergonomics were so good that a database like Postgres ends up with a native PRQL frontend. Not sure you're there yet, though. IMHO SQL as a query language suffers from a) sometimes really bad ergonomics, b) it's hard to wrap in another programming language (also ergonomics), c) it has far too many concepts - it's not orthogonal.

The fundamental problem of something like web3 is that is totally unrealistic. Imagine someone "posting" something that should be kept private. Can you go back and delete it? No, because the blockchain is immutable, you can try to hide it but it will still be there. Think of porn revenge videos, it would be a nightmare.
Another example: I recall a videogame on blockchain that had tons of issues patching it self, again because blockchain is immutable.
Also, web3 would really bring democracy to authoritarian states? A country like China with 1.3 billions of people 100% would not improve its democracy situation. That's a lot of people.

Last but not least, almost nobody really cares how web is implemented as far they can browse to their favourite porn site or facebook page or blog or something else.
> There's a ton of content that would enrich Gemini (and that fits Gemini's mission) but that simply isn't usable in text/gemini.

That's kind of what I've concluded too. I like the mission of gemini (and I believe the web is fundamentally broken and unrepairable), but I do feel like text/gemini flings way too far in the opposite direction. It's not a new pattern, I see this all the time: thing X is too complex and bloated and user-hostile, let's make a suckless thing Y. Y is minimalistic to a fault.

Making something that's too minimalistic or too complex is easy. Finding the right balance and making something that is small and simple yet still capable of covering wide use scenarios is an engineering challenge..

Since I agree with gemini's mission, I'm not going to complain too much about it. It's not exactly what I want, but if it encourages people to write content and deliver it in a form that is guaranteed not to have web's problems, I'm all for it, because I do stand to benefit from it.

The same argument can be made for machine translation. For an algorithm to be able to successfully translate an entirely new idiom, expression or metaphor, it has to be aware of the real world and context it came from. Until there is some level of AGI that can observe and interpret the world on its own, translation and toxicity detection will be limited to examples included in training data.

> Free speech is not without cost, but it has been successfully utilised to everyone's benefit for hundreds of years.

American history itself had tons and tons of situation where people risked a lot for saying things - including death. All within the scope you talk about. The time span you talk about include runup to civil war, civil war, reconstruction - all of which were full of political violence.

This also when dueling was the thing. Where men of means were expected to shoot each other over words. If you did not, you was effectively over in that town. And the line between "duel worthy" offense and not could be very thin.

> Eliminating free speech will harm the most vulnerable in society; not the most powerful.

Moreover, we are not talking here about legal standard at all. Neither was legal standard EVER. You could legally seek to insult and offend people as much as you wanted. Nobody cared about intent. This is about when people say "you are jerk".

There is threat to free speech, especially with new proposed laws, but it has zero to do with intent vs effect.

In the context of the GP about basic Maslow needs and fears about housing and healthcare, contract-to-hire as an alternative to interviewing is not risk free for an employee who needs a steady income and isn't confident they will find another good opportunity quickly if they need to.

Interviewing has risks of course, but with interviewing a person can usually continue their current job and only quit when they have a better offer.

With contract-to-hire they have to quit their current job first, then have high uncertainty about whether they have a new long term job or a short contract leading to nothing..
Well you are not much of an expert if you can't tell a Riesling from a Cote du Rhone. One would be a freshly tasting, dry (i.e. not sweet) German white wine and the other a rather heavy red wine. I'm not an expert by any means but I've consumed plenty of both to be able to tell the difference by hangover alone.

I guess there are a few grape varieties that are used for red and white wines that might pose some more tricky edge cases. E.g. pinot noir (a grape type) white wine is actually made with the same grapes as the red variety. The juice is actually color less; the skin has color. I guess it depends on how you process the grapes on what color wine you end up producing. And they'd obviously share a few of the same flavors because it is the same base ingredients that are used.

Fun fact (from 2012): some credit cards had more than one CCV. You could find out by simply trying all 1000 combinations on some web shops.

Is it actually a fact that there's a growing and general feeling of hostility from the general population throughout the world against some small subset of the developer population ? Or is that some woke pc-culture assumption ?

I'm truly confused about the notion of JetBrains IDEs being slow. I'm using both IDEA and VSCode, for different projects but sometimes even concurrently (because IDEA's Dart plugin is somehow dumber than VSCode's but IDEA's database explorer is so useful) and if anything then VSCode is slower with autocompletes and refactorings. Typing speed has never been issue with either so I'm really curious what sort of hardware you're running JetBrains products so that they are slower.

There's really no elegant or generalized way of analyzing things that has acceptable fidelity because semantic rules are so contextual and conditional.

The same words can change context depending on what kind of building you're in or what time of day it is.

Even common phrases like "I'm running over" could mean I'm coming to see you or I'm taking longer than I expected; completely unrelated things.

Flow analysis may give you something, but content analysis is basically impossible unless there's also context analysis.

But since antagonizing trolls aren't usually using profanity or necessarily a different vocabulary of words but they are engaging in patterns, that kind of engagement style analysis may be all that's actually needed

> They’re [Merlot vs Pinot] just two different types of grapes, with marginally different flavor profiles

This is completely incorrect as any habitual wine drinker can tell you. Wines made from the two grapes look very different - Pinot is translucent, Merlot has a lot of colour - and taste quite different, though the specifics of the taste difference are dependent on the wine making technique.
It is when the alternative is "fail at a safety-critical task silently". In fact it then tends to become a regulatory requirement, like in this case.
Python's static type system was kept out of the runtime object values to keep a slow language from getting slower.

Mypy is also not 1.0 yet.

You can still find bugs in advanced use cases i.e. when you are mixing inheritance, generics, data classes...

The new type system is both flawed and also a godsend for python developers.
From memory, I think if you go to the user who submitted the posts “submissions” list it will show you the original time rather than the “second chance time”.
It is pretty much an "everything machine". I think they are positioning themselves as a platform alternative to having a separate origin + CDN. i.e you develop your entire application with Workers + Durable Objects + R2.

As a CDN it's pretty great though, I have managed very very large properties behind Cloudflare and they have always gone above and beyond for us when big DDoS have came our way.
They don't have the data ready as this data is scattered across multiple ( maybe multiple dozen systems) . Also it might not be fully automated.
But I think that's the exact reason we need to learn simple languages here. So that we know the closed doors first (the abstraction problem), then we will create a key or find a key elsewhere. Otherwise if "Class" is made the part of the language, like Java, you will not appreciate the importance of it to any extent and have a overall bad experience....
FWIW, thanks a whole lot!

As an engineer in the forties it is somewhat encouraging to read that you felt the same way even if it was about different topics.

For me, these days it is about frontend generally, Gradle on backend and devops. So much to learn, so little documentation that makes sense for me. (I'm considered unusually useful in all projects I touch it seems but for me it is an uphill struggle each week.)

I always win in the end even if it means picking apart files, debugging huge stacks and a whole lot of reading docs and searching for docs, but why oh why can't even amazingly well funded projects make good documentation..?)

I'm sure it does fine at that, but there are perils with SSHFS-type access (like file corruption risks when you switch between editing machines.)

And this really doesn't get close to what Visual Studio Code's Remote editing functionality can do. The Remote mode operates a full remote VSC environment over SSH or as a docker container, and that means things like being able to do find and replace at the remote end in the editor, but also manage git at the remote end using the built-in source control etc., but also it means support for extensions and build tools that run remotely.

It is astonishing.

I too cannot imagine going back to an editor that cannot do this. It has been so useful in conjunction with vagrant boxes, with a bit of ssh_config magic I wrote here that manages an ssh_config include file that (amazingly) VSC will follow:

>Encapsulation, modularization, abstraction - let's not pick nits about the precise meaning of these terms, they are all about the same thing, really: Managing complexity of your own code.

The thing is, code complexity can be managed superbly without the concept of a class.

Golang doesn't have classes. C doesn't have classes. But both have structs and they have functions taking a pointer to, or a struct of type T. (what OO calls a "method" for some reason). So we can have "objects" as in, custom datatypes, and we can have functions to act on them.

And on top of that, we have modularization in libs and packages.

So, why do we need more complicated languages? "Show a locked door before you show a key" indeed.
As teens, some of my friends and I had a "game" where we would find new innocent phrases to describe sexual acts, taking a shit, and other vulgar/gross/unmentionable stuff.

> that study on wine "experts" who couldn't tell the difference between red and wine is just terrible nonsense. It was some students who were recruited and smelled wines, given the visual cues of color.

It's even less than that. The study showed that if people are primed to think they're drinking red wine, their responses reflect that. If the experiments wanted a controlled study on whether the subjects could tell red and white wine apart, they could have blindfolded them or told them the wines had all been dyed the same colour, and the students would have discriminated between them very accurately.

Anyway, like you I tend to discount the opinion of anyone who misinterprets this study's results in the way that the article does.

You started with the weakest argument, that was based all hearsay and had no smoking gun. It was first only because the Twitter thread told the story in chronological order. And then.. you stopped there?

For me the strongest argument is that hours after they reached #1 on HN, Stripe posted, got #1 themselves, then Bolt's own post somehow disappeared, suggesting foul play. Twice, in two separate occasions, this is alleged to have happened. This is both pretty damning for HN itself (and in this case, @dang has some explaining to do), and pretty easy to confirm or refute with Wayback machine and such.

edit: but it appears.. Stripe post was earlier than Bolt's own post? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30068406 Were Bolt posts even removed? And if they were removed, for which reason, each of them?
