Any shite article is a great excuse for another cryptocurrency hatefest, right guys?

The thing that really makes me feel a lack of respect for cryptocurrency haters is the fact that at the core cryptocurrency is an obvious and very important improvement to the way digital payments work. That is leveraging cryptography so that payments don't require giving away credentials (such as the way credit cards do) and to verify the integrity of the ledger.
>Are you claiming that each individual's capabilities are the same as everyone else's?

What aspect of my comment made you think I was claiming that?
The post gives an example - overloading a method based on the type parameter (e.g separate overloads for Option<Integer> and Option<Double>). This is why Java's generic erasure is more of a problem than Haskell's type erasure: Java erases generic parameters at compile time, whereas Haskell retains type information for long enough to use it when linking modules.

It's quite traditional. Alexander Dumas used ghostwriters to produce a comparable number of books and many old master artists had entire workshops of apprentices producing art in their name.

Spot on. The cost is definitely the main issue IMO. I think they make for great option for home backup/offgrid use mainly due to their crazy high cycles like you pointed out. An Australian company (Zenaji) sells a solution with a warranty on 22,000 cycles. Again, super expensive (~$3k AUD per 1.95kWh) but IMO a superior tech other than density (not a huge difference but definitely not as good as LiFePO4/NMC), which doesn't matter as much in home/commercial stationary backup scenarios.

Yes, I worked in one union job - at a different point of time in my life also a guild. They improved my quality of work dealing with exactly the kind of predatory companies we're talking about here.

From what I gather from your comments, yours must have been a horrible experience (why?). It doesn't cancel the fact that these Amazon workers are being squeezed for a competitive edge in a company that's already a monopoly - in several sectors. They need to battle for fair working conditions which is exactly what a union will provide.

Bad humans come along and destroy what could have been a good thing in an attempt to fill their bottomless empty pit of greed at the expense of everyone and everything else. Happens every time any human(s) try to create something that's meant to be beneficial for everyone - along come a few scammy ass-hats who decide they're gonna ruin it for everyone (by weaponizing it, turning it into a scam, or what-have-you), and inevitably a whole bunch more scammy ass-hats always gotta jump on that same bandwagon, increasing the momentum of the downfall.

The halo effect point seems especially important. If you ask a bunch of people who are personally invested in DevOps, who are leading teams whose job it is to make have a successful DevOps org/transformation, then you're going to tend to get results back from surveys that show the method is working even if it's an unconscious bias on the part of the respondents. And they'll all be biased in the same direction towards each other, no coordination required.

Apart from that, the part about "inferential prediction" seems particularly damning.

Similar to the author I think that a lot of DevOps is valuable, but they raise some good points that some of the reasoning presented in the book is quite circular and prone to bias. We can't really say that DevOps is scientifically proven.
> Unit tests are a relatively recent concept (last 15-10 years?).

I was writing unit tests 20 years ago. I generally see SUnit considered as the birth of unit testing frameworks, and that's 30 year old art to solve something that was being done before anyway.

I guess one can say that Extreme Programming made it more popular in the mid 2000s, which is when relatively new languages started including built-in/standard unit testing libraries/frameworks/semantics (Python, Ruby, D...)

Yes, my point is that they're all preferences that people have and that's okay. Saying people are "missing out" because they prefer a certain race is like saying they "miss out" for preferring a certain gender. Maybe technically true, but not really helpful in practice.

Revenge of the JavaScript: Moving from Hugo to Next.js
There's the usual fact that the more extreme or fundamentalist someone's viewpoint is, the more like they seem to want to yell it (and the easier it is to say it, concisely). With cryptocurrency, I think that there are many people with a financial and/or political stake in it, who argue from a technical perspective about the merits, so the usual-moderate person senses this disingenuousness and, annoyed, responds more negatively than they usually would. So, in other words, the same dynamics that drive polarization on contentious political issues apply (and I'd actually argue that cryptocurrency is more of a political issue than a technical one).
A vast amount of the size that goes into the /big/ JS engines is performance, and supporting all the many edge cases and weird behaviors that these small engines often ignore.

Another huge part is actually support JS. This VM does not do this. It precompiles the "JS" to a bwtecode, and then merely needs a bytecode interpreter. It would hopefully be obvious why this drastically simplifies the engine and helps performance.

I'm fine with this as an application specific VM, but to claim it is a JS VM, and more importantly to compare size and memory usage to VMs that are able to actually parse and execute JS seems unfair. Even if the two compared inexplicably leave out some super minor syntactic features (switch, do, for, ..).

In this particular case what I'd say is this is essentially a redevelopment of bytecode interpreted languages (p-code, etc) as used in the 70s+80s, where compiling a high level language into a bytecode and the vm to execute that bytecode allowed programs to be much smaller than compiling to native code (and more portable in some cases).

>If I could buy 1000 loaves of bread with 1BTC last year, but this year I can only buy 900 loaves with that same 1BTC, that's inflation.

No, that's just an increase in the price of bread. If all the inputs in making the bread were in BTC, then it would be inflation.

If all of the inputs that went into making that bread were paid for in USD, and the relative price in BTC went up, that's called "currency risk". That's a completely different thing from inflation.

I'm playing along similar lines as the OP.

Using Linux as a base avoid a whole lot of code that is basically uninteresting to me (eg, drivers). And using Python (in my case) makes prototyping ideas quick and easy.

I've defined a "pseudo-kernel" API, which is implemented either using the Linux kernel and/or C libraries or uses various (small) services to emulate other functionality that would be in the kernel, if (or when) I end up writing it.

I can deploy to a Pinephone, a Raspberry Pi, or a PC trivially, and I can mostly test things on my laptop under macOS, which makes for a fairly productive development cycle.

Which means my few hours a week generally progresses things meaningfully, rather than being bogged down in the mechanics.
Ask HN: Are 2.5“ SSDs here to stay? For how long?
Thinking, especially abstract thinking, is crucial to software development, as often (not always) creating software is abstracting real life into algorithms and data structures. Writing text in a word procesor, notepad, etc. is in my opinion first step to validation of the idea, to having at least faint idea about the complexity of the solution we would like to build.

On the question of "how to think clearly" - I'd say it's pretty individual - some people start "from the bottom", some "from the top" and others "in the middle". Experience is to know which is which and which approach suits you best.

You can stay in that house as long as you pay the property taxes. If you can't pay the property taxes, that is a forcing function to get you to move. You aren't entitled to live somewhere all your life. You aren't entitled to have your taxes be subsidized by the next generation of folks so that you can keep living somewhere. It is placing the burden on the next generation of people because you happened to be there first and creates bad market incentives.
I get four matches a week on average. Converting those matches into dates is the hard part in my opinion. Even when I seem to be connecting and having a good conversation on text, it's always been so difficult to go beyond that.

> There's a great number of people watching the antilope being eaten, and rooting for the lion.

Ignoring the metaphor and taking it literally: watching nature documentaries, I don't think I've ever rooted for the antelope. I've always been on the side of the big cats (particularly leopards, snow leopards and such)[1]. And reading comments under such videos, seeing most people rooting for the antelope was always disheartening to me, knowing that, if this cat doesn't kill this or another antelope soon, it's going to die. And out of the two I always prefer the cat to survive.

[1]: Will also root for the lynx feeding on a deer, no questions asked. Lynxes are awesome. :)

> I mean, has the war in Ukraine not shown that having a strong defense is necessary, even in Europe?

In 2008 NATO Summit in Bucharest, NATO declared that Ukraine (and Georgia) will one day become a part of NATO. I read that France and Germany were against that decision for the fear of enraging Russia, but the US forced their opinion. Russia was enraged, and this is how we got to this war. My take from this war is that it's not always a good thing to let US orchestrate the security interests of Europe. Without US forcing their way through that summit, we might not have a war in Europe today.
I've been a technical advisor for several startups, I'd say that overall this advice is wrong.

It's right there in the first paragraph:

>..some prefer to purchase exactly the “Virgin Bitcoins” that has just been mined and overpay for them from 10% to 30%.

>meaning that buyers were able to scoop bitcoin at more than 6% below market price
Sure, the things being traded with a money supply can decrease and if the money supply doesn't decrease alongside, it also is inflationary. BTC was used to trade USD, supply of USD is decreasing while BTC is algorithmically not decreasing, so it shows a great deal of inflation in the purchase of USD (and the reverse during the run-up), which unfortunately you cannot prevent unless you instituted capital controls.
Unsurprising really. It seems like a mortgage gets you the best roi pf any conservative investment right now when you adjust for inflation.
Inflation hurts people who are least able to negotiate wage increases the best, yes. This is why it tends to be bad for the less well off. It's great for professionals with mortgages; it also tends to be great for people with hereditary wealth, since that's often tied up in land and businesses.

However this has a lot more to do with the supply of oil and gas than the number of banknotes in circulation.

Best Practices Setting Up Your Local Development Environment
Since we're talking about demonetization and crime and UK banknotes, I'd like to bring in the weakly related story of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Bank_robbery :

> The criminals took a total of £26.5 million: £10 million in uncirculated Northern Bank pound sterling banknotes; £5.5 million in used Northern Bank sterling notes; £4.5 million in used notes supplied by other banks; and smaller cash amounts in other currencies including euros and US dollars.

> The Northern Bank announced soon after the robbery that it would replace its £10, £20, £50 and £100 notes; the new banknotes would have different colours, new logos and altered serial numbers.[9][11] By March 2005 it had done so, meaning that the uncirculated banknotes which had been stolen would be hard to spend. This still left the £4.5 million in notes from other banks and £5.5 million in old, used Northern Bank notes, which were untraceable

Somewhere buried in a bog or at the back of a shed in Northern Ireland is slightly less than ten million pounds of unlaundered money stolen by terrorists. I wonder if it'll turn up when someone important dies.

Currency is itself a financial good that is bought and sold, and has value. It's not divorced from other goods and is not special. You even have currency factories (banks) and competition.

Also, any currency devaluing (which BTC is doing) is inflationary for an economy based in that currency.
