This was before the release of Apple silicon, and I hope that the Mac team has gotten more attention since then. While Macs might get less attention than the iPhone/iPad/Apple Watch, I don't think Apple is willing to let the Mac die like that. Pretty much every Apple devices depend on the Mac and macOS because their main development environment is Xcode, which only runs on macOS. If Apple phases out the entire Mac line, maybe we'd see a day when Xcode runs on Linux? Or some macOS version that can be installed on normal PCs.
Don't you ever share your projects between machines? I at least have laptop, a desktop, and occasional raspberry pi. An ability to have personal projects on both is very handy. It also acts as a nice backup.

But yes, if all your work is on one machine, and you have backups of it, there is not much point in svn.

This is somewhat true throughout all of apple's products. Release a new Mac or iPhone, you'll notice a lot of people (especially musicians) buying them for no utilitarian reason other than because it's new and because it'll be theirs - and it's expensive. Apple's marketing and reputation is so brilliant it's ingrained almost like a religion (Certainly socially what religion was to a ye olde' peasant)

If you browse around this thread, you'll find maybe 7 or 9 other times where I responded to this: of course, for most use cases people will be fine by using the current systems. This does not eliminate the other cases that are not viable with the current systems, such as cases where the risk is negligible to the user on the individual transaction, but the risk to the merchant is too high at scale.

No, the reason is that Zig doesn't make wild claims about what it can do and then fail to back them up.

Based on your posts in this thread, you seem to have a very paranoid outlook, where everyone is out to get V for no rational reason at all, and implying they have sinister motives. But: anyone can just run the code examples in the article and see for themselves that V is just not living up to its promises. It's just more confirmation that the V people are a little cult that can't take any criticism at all.
In June 2001 I heard two airliners crash into our tower one after the other. There was no airliners I hear noises. I went on short term disability and during Sept 11 2001 I saw airliners crash into the wtc towers on tv. It freaked me out. Ever since then I had symptons. I was hired at the law firm in 1997 and had no signs of the illness.
I wonder if InnoSetup could be a good point of reference for anyone interested. It is in Delphi though, but there is also this guide I found whilst trying to figure out if you could run Inno Setup on Linux:

Yes. This is the approach we settled on. Minimize to the best extent possible and don't waste time worrying about things we can't control. Basically just accept that you can't control everything and won't be able to totally eliminate exposure but make the attempt to minimize it as much as possible.
Well, they were right about games/Hollywood merger - just off by about 25 years
That’s insanely cost prohibitive, tbh. No wonder more people aren’t jumping at the opportunity. You would need 14 years just to pay back the cost of installation, and that’s assuming zero maintenance simultaneous with magically sustained like-new performance.

After those 14 years, you “make” an annual non-compounded 7% ROI (again in 2022 dollars).

Spending some of that money on insulation and sticking the rest in a savings account somewhere is a much wiser bet.
That would only be an advantage if you had to do multiple passes over the data, otherwise the data would still go through the CPU RAM before getting loaded onto the GPU, no?
> Remember, the competition between various younger languages has become a bit fierce and dirty.

As someone who works full time on one relatively young language, has created a couple more, and knows people working on many others, this is 100% wrong in my personal experience.

Most young language teams work very hard to communicate accurately and to set appropriate expectations because they know that user trust is a hard requirement for adoption.

V is the outlier here.

Your keep calling people "competitors." I don't think you're using the word right. Perhaps "detractors" is what you mean, but "reviewers" is more neutral. Xe and mawfig don't appear to be offering their own languages to compete with V. At one point, Andy Kelly (a "competitor") criticized the author's behavior, but he's also gone silent on the topic of V because of the vitriol he encountered.

One reason that people highlight older criticism is because it's useful to examine past behavior, past promises, and contrast them to current behavior and current promises. If V is going to improve its reputation, it's going to do it by (a) making good on the promises it can, (b) coming clean on the promises it can't, and (c) offer a clear win for some distinguishing featureset. Badgering people to shut up about the past isn't on that list.

Alternate wording: Mr. Yud has invented a religion that comes with a predefined Satan (evil AGI) and life work (invent God to beat it). A religion with no deity but only an anti-deity is a bit unique but there's probably historical examples.

Although that's not really what he says in the post. He says we've already failed to do it and are now doomed. Of course, saying we're all doomed (millenarianism) is what preachers have always done at some point.

> Your public mischaracterization of the whole field composed of many very smart people only shows your ignorance.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courtier's_reply

Note, something getting a lot of smart-looking posts online actually isn't evidence that this is the state of the field. As we know from Yud's own post (https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/uMQ3cqWDPHhjtiesc/agi-ruin-a...) the thing he's upset about is that people who actually run AI research orgs like FAIR don't believe him. And as we know from an HN post a few days ago (…which I forgot the title of), once you go offline you find most smart people out there aren't publicly posting anything, don't necessarily agree with the consensus opinion online about anything is, and don't know there is one.

…I wasn't talking about Yud though. He has a good reason to care about this, it being his job. I'm just saying people posting about it as if it's a certain risk are listening to him because it appeals to nerds. And, of course, if you value your own "intelligence" and thinks it gives you superpowers then a theory that says something with even more "intelligence" can exist and gets even better superpowers is going to be scary to you.

> Static Typing reduces bugs.

This matches my experience. People say otherwise might need to put more effort on writing better tests.

That said static typing usually catch minor problems like typo faster. But for dynamic typing it's going to catch by tests a bit later. But usually tests run faster with dynamic languages, so it's a tradeoff.

My favorite approach is the mixed approach like TypeScript:

1. Faster feedback loops: Usually statically typed languages compiles slower thus slower feedback loops. But languages like TypeScript can skip type check and emit only to the runtime, making test watcher very fast - as soon as I hitting Cmd-S I can see the result.

2. Optional typing: Sometimes a function signature is going to be 10x larger than the body, which is really a hassle. Sometimes I just skip them, or skip typing module private functions as long as it's properly tested.

It'd be fun to have a sparkline printed next to both the actual price, and the price-per-ounce (or whatever). Set it at like a year. Would make it really easy to see the price changes without having to memorize the price or price-per-ounce of a thousand different items.
That seems reasonable to me. Small groups can be easily torn apart bad bad actors. Even well meaning folks that just don't vibe well can really hae a large effect on small intentional communities. It isnt about being good enough, by my reading, it is about a good fit.

For what its worth, the zig site has what is functionally this blog post for its own language: https://ziglang.org/learn/overview/. There's maybe a few spots where I think they could be clearer about some tradeoffs, but overall its very explicit about what the language can and cannot do, and if I were using this post's style, we'd end up with lots of green checks and 1-2 yellow squares, but nothing red.

Which really is the issue here: v makes a big talk but doesn't do what it says on the tin, while other languages, generally speaking, do. There's a difference between goals and features, and Zig distinguishes those well.
How would a "language engine" know what you can do with `item` if it has no type information?

You can do that with Python (sometimes) because many libraries have type hints today, so even if you don't use types yourself, the type checker can infer them in your code and help you out.

Absolutely correct. If you want to use Stripe, go use Stripe. They are great (most of the times). I use it as well. When it suits me.

I am not trying to replace Stripe, or Visa, or Mastercard. I am building an alternative for when these solutions do not work.

Crypto payments (like cash!) do not require your identity to make a transaction.

Can you do micropayments with Stripe? You can not. Then, you might be interested in a system that can.

Do you have a perfectly legal business that is for some reason in Mastercard's blacklist? Then you might be interested in having an alternative.

I have not been on an official tilde server (I wouldnt join because they have a code of conduct which I think infantilises adult humans)... but I am on a few pubnixes (circumlunar.space, rawtext.club, colorfield.space) and know a large number of folks that do not align with social and economic left values on these servers. Honestly, most of us stay out of political discussion on the servers and mostly talk about tech or sometimes philosophy (which can have political elements to it). Anecdotal, of course, so ymmv... but so long as you arent being a jerk to other people I've not seen any issues with people having diverging views of those sorts on these servers (at least the ones I have been on).
Rewriting history is actively good because it means you can view it as a series of logical patches. I have worked on large projects using earlier versions of hg and they were absolutely full of merge commits just labeled "Merge" - some of them were safe, some of them had random changes in them, and some of them had automatic merged changes that actually caused problems.

It was also much slower than git. But I knew someone working on Google Code at the time who liked it better because it was "clean" and in Python.
I was really dissatisfied with life a few years back, so I took a year off work and lived off my savings. I attributed my dissatisfaction to work and I basically said to my boss I needed to do something else for a while, and I'd come back in a year if they'd have me.
I had a decent bunch of savings and nobody to support, so I could afford to gamble this way. But they did take me back.

I had a bunch of ideas beforehand about what I wanted to do, projects and so on, and many thoughts about what I was fed up with at work and a feeling I needed more time for my own projects. I tested these notions and ended up realizing that I was mostly wrong in my analysis.

I thought I wanted was more time to decide what I wanted to do with, to hack on projects, but in the end what I realized I lacked was variety in life.

So since then I picked up a bunch of new hobbies. Like in the years since I've dabbled in everything from partner dancing to latin. I'm a lot more well rounded now and I'm a lot happier for it.

I've also worked 32 week hours since then to have some more time for other stuff. Well worth the pay cut.

In the end, I never really accomplished very much on my sabbatical, but I did come back a much more well rounded and happy person. It's probably a far better tool for personal growth than it is for productivity or career advancement.

It doesn't really compare since ground-source/geothermal systems are designed to work with a smaller temperature difference (since the earth stays about 50F most of the year a few feet down).

I can disagree with the current policy and not say anything about it. Most of the time actions speak louder than words. A lot of people mentally tune out political 'hot air'.

Your [3] reference is not the original study. Some of the original studies were late 80's, early 90's and were discussed in the media even on the nightly news. They were printed in magazines that people at the time subscribed to. The discussion about the issue died down and was later resurrected by those who published that article.

The original time period when this was in the news would be 1995-1998 since I know where I worked at the time.

I don't know why it did not stick in the public's consciousness back in the 90's. I do know that it faded from the news stream over time only to be resurrected years later when the issues that were highlighted had affected a much larger number of people.

Yes I agree with you. My point is that almost everything we do in management if software teams and architecture decisions is a guess.

It was counterproductive for me when recursion was taught with Fibonacci and factorials. They were literally the opposite of easy to understand for me, I had absolutely no idea why those examples actually worked, so I just gave up and treated them like magic.

I think recursion should be taught with examples that would be easier for a student to write with recursion than without it. For example, listing all files in a directory.
