I think this shows a very poor understanding of technology adoption cycles:

> If we judged a technology's use case by the number of legitimate users then we'd never invent new technologies because there are never legitimate users using technology that doesn't exist (and very few when it is new).

This is definitely not true. Take the internet as an example. From its earliest days it was practical for its initial users. Then there was a long virtuous cycle of increasing capability and increasing users. Along the way, many of the new technologies had plenty of plausible initial users. E.g., look at the initial proposal for the WWW: http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/Proposal.html

You might also read "Crossing the Chasm", which describes the typical tech adoption lifecycle, who early users tend to be, and how one gets from there to a real success.

> I think there is real value in having digital cash. That is, a digital currency that is both private and secure. I'm thinking something along the lines of zcash though, not bitcoin.

I believe you think that. But I don't think the evidence bears you out. For most people digital cash already exists, and has since the days debit cards became popular. Bitcoin's actual use is a rounding era compared with M-Pesa's transaction volume, let alone debit and credit card use.

> There are many big fin companies investigating and using different cryptocurrencies though. Whether you call these legitimate users or not is very debatable though.

Sorry, but no, there's no real debate. It's true that many of them have investigated, because some VP saw something buzzy enough that a pilot project would give him a career advantage. But it's also true that real financial companies are actually doing very little with cryptocurrencies, and it's less over time. One could argue that's because major financial companies just don't get it. But I think the more plausible explanation is that they see a lot of risk, especially reputational risk and regulatory risk, with comparatively little offsetting reward.

I'm in the same boat. I've been a backend web developer for so long, I've almost become accustomed to the kubernetes churn. I sometimes dabble in kernel dev, and sometimes want to show off my skills to a company like Google and try to go work on Fuchsia or Android or something. But it feels like grass-is-greener thinking, and I'm wary of such things, having burned myself by falling for it before.

The most popular server for years was named after the word nostalgia. A lot of people had a really fun time playing WoW as a kid but had no actual way to play the game any longe since it was online only and ever evolving.

After a decade or so Blizzard finally caved and released their own "classic" versions of the game. Apparently a lot of the infrastructure was incompatible with the software which made it a not so trivial undertaking. They originally said it was impossible but nostalgia hit one of the internal devs and he proved otherwise.
I do listen to some songs over and over.

> ...and given that none of the current implementations actually solve this issue right now...

This has been possible in Haskell for a long, long time. A ton of languages do something very similar with strings (Python, JavaScript, etc.) Strings are immutable in both Python and JavaScript, but rather than using a "StringBuilder" class like in C# or Java, the compiler and runtime will optimize certain pure functional operations (like string concatenation) into a mutable operation on a buffer. If you are not aware of this optimization, you might find yourself benchmarking some simple string operations and be completely shocked at how fast they are. (There are a couple questions on Stack Overflow where people are confused about why their Python code is faster than their C++ code when benchmarked.)

I think the term "sufficiently advanced compiler" does a bit of a disservice. People have used that phrase a lot, not only when talking about high-level languages but also when talking about things like ISAs. It turns out that people are bad at predicting what kinds of optimizations compilers will be able to do in the future.

The other reason I don't like the phrase "sufficiently advanced compiler" is because these optimizations are often tied to something other than the compiler. They may come from advances in library implementations, advances in programming languages, or advances in language runtimes.

Take a look at how Haskell does it. You have array implementations with a pure interface but impure implementation. You have a system called "stream fusion" which lets the compiler take array operations that logically produce arrays as values, and transform these into simple operations that loop over the array. Stream fusion is a feature that doesn't really require a "sufficiently advanced compiler", but rather some relatively simple compiler features (all things considered, "simple" is relative) and the ability to annotate library functions with transformations that improve the generated code at the library functions' call sites.

I think of stream fusion as more of a "let's write good libraries" feature, and less of a "compiler magic" feature.

Then take a look at how Python does it. When you concatenate strings, the library code can check that the left-hand argument has no other references, and modify it in-place. All the compiler has to do is make sure that variables are killed as soon as possible, which is a very ordinary thing for compilers to do. It's not magic, there are ways to break this optimization from happening, but it does work.

My experiences with the encroachment of FP into otherwise imperative or OO languages has mostly been:

1. Write a bunch of functional code.

2. Marvel at how clean and neat things are.

3. Get customer reports of performance problems.

4. Spend a lot of time ripping out FP components and replacing them with imperative code.

Organic fertilizer requires that the N, P, and K actually came from somewhere. Often, that's from something else that used non-organic fertilizer. So if a country goes all organic not only are yields down on the fields using organic fertilizer, the supply of organic fertilizer itself could dry up.
I'm generally a proponent of OO, and I actually think this kind of filtering chain is one of a number of places where fp code can be more readable than imperative loops.

> So first this comment is clearly influenced by your own preferences for MacOS.

I've always found very strange the love for MacOS professed by so many here on HN!

> Stackoverflow Developer Survey shows irl about 40% of development is done on Windows, 30% Mac and 30% Linux. So the platforms are at least equally appealing in real world circumstances.

Indeed. I use Windows and there's no amount of money you could pay me to use a Mac: at the bare minimum, I want an OLED screen, and there's no such option on MacOS.

OTOH, I try Linux every know and then, the terminal experience is still sub-par but the foot terminal emulator, despite how hard it is to configure it, is quite promising!

I use PixInsight myself, but you can do a lot on photoshop and a lot of people will take the output of PixInsight to touch up in photoshop.

Modern sensors are amazingly low noise. 10 years ago, I used to have to calibrate out darks, bias and flats just to remove my sensor noise. Now with modern CMOS sensors, people still do that but it isn't as necessary and you can overcome much of the sensor noise by capturing enough data - and that's where JWST just dominates. THere is nothing impeeding the data causing noise.

Shot noise is easily removed by integration, Read noise on modern sensors is almost non existent and easily calibrated out, dark current is extremely low, bias, hot and cold pixels are all things that can be removed with calibration and integration and with space telescopes cosmic rays are probably the most annoying thing but if you stack enough images they integrate right out.

But back to photoshop, the final images are just publishing art. I use pixinsight myself for all the heavy lifting, pixel math, integration and calibration but sometimes go out to photoshop for cleanup - especially for web/print.

Took them long enough. Though I'd wonder what changed. I don't see why they're worried about location data that much, as phone location is not accurate enough to say an individual was somewhere at a specific time or to show their route in a city within a few feet, or at least that data probably doesn't meet the legal standard of being evidence of a crime, or of being an accessory or co-conspirator to one, so it seems pretty low risk from a privacy perspective.
That's the nice thing about free trade and free markets - everyone is running a decentralized version of that experiment and incrementally updating the data live.

At night, I sometimes scroll through the live TikTok streams. There's one I've really come to enjoy. Some drag strip somewhere in Texas is open to almost all comers. People bring in their street cars or custom vehicles. And duel it out on the quarter mile. Kinda fun to see something like a 30 year old supercharged pickup go against some brand new Infiniti.

There's some people around to make things are safe. No cops in sight. When a new vehicle rolls in, people crowd around to check it out. It's a beautiful thing.

It's almost convinced me that cities should put in a public access drag strip. Just like they have facilities for other sports. A place where the teenagers and gearheads can go nuts. But away from public streets and with some basic safety rules and equipment. I think it would be a huge hit.

In my experience, exported goods provide very little profit to the original manufacturer. The middle layers greedily absorb all the profit. In fact, in the west, labor costs to stock/sell it in the supermarket are significantly higher than what the manufacturer made for their effort.
