Productivity is the main driving force of Python. You can prototype almost any type of app in it very quickly, with lots of libraries in the ecosystem to make use of, and it will have decent performance. If you need blazing speed you can write faster extensions in C. And it plays friendly across platforms, for the most part. People hate the white space but it enforces readable and maintainable code which plays into making teams productive.
I agree completely. Lemire's blog is usually a gold mine when it comes to detailed low level algorithms and encoding problems but this is the second time I've seen a post just come off so amateurish.

He just comes off as really removed from whole program and language wide thinking — and maybe he's just a bit too distanced from it given his specialty.

You’re missing the forest for the trees. What actually happened was social media allowed the weaponisation of microtargeted psychological warfare.

Read the books “mindfucked” and “targeted” for the detail on Cambridge Analytica (actually Strategic Communications Laboratory or SCL group) how it was a cognitive warfare firm developed for counter terrorism which was unleashed on the American, British (and now presumably Brazilian, Italian and French public).

People are not polarized just due to social media - social media is now a cognitive warfare battleground where cognitive heuristics are the trenches.
> Do you think my antibodies don't provide protection?

Your adaptive immunity will probably provide a lot of protection from severe disease and hospitalization but it’s far less likely to prevent infection now. There’s been a lot of antigenic drift in the circulating variants since January 2021 and it’s ongoing. Due to this your circulating antibodies probably won’t provide sterilizing immunity anymore but of course that’s true for the vaccinated too. Worrying about vaccination status to stop the spread stopped being worthwhile months ago. If the Omicron boosters work well then it’ll reoccur, until then we can probably all chill out and it won’t change a thing.

Also, as an automatic driver it is mildly annoying to be behind a manual driver at the lights and have to wait for them to get into gear and take off, or to roll back and forwards in anticipation of the lights changing and get uncomfortably close to your bumper... I have no hatred for manual transmission but I will be mildly relieved when the majority of them are off the road.

Some automatics have that issue as well, due to the "stop/start engine" (alleged) feature that is common on modern vehicles with strong focus on fuel economy. I drove one recently as a loan car while mine was in the shop and it was an awful experience... you take your foot off the brakes, and then half a second to a whole second later the engine finally turns over and you lurch into motion.
Your implication was that full nodes are less secure. That specifically is false.

You do not need to know the full indexed history of an account to know what its current balance is. There is zero loss of security in not knowing what a specific account's balance was 1,000,000 blocks ago if you have executed through every transaction and every block that has ever been committed to the chain.
We consistently have to go through Data protection practices, and limit the purpose of what the data collected can be used for. This seems like either a blatant miss in process, or willful ignore where $150m is under the EXPECTED value of the rewards through marketing
Yes. :)

One can write F# almost just like Python, including mutability, for loops, sequence/list/array comprehensions, OOP, etc., and yet, F# is cleaner, statically typed with inference, and much faster.

A few years ago when I was trying to understand the new JavaScript world with React and all its toys (moving from my background of PHP and other 'old-school' server-side rendered solutions), I hit problems similar to this.

This particular example isn't too bad -- looking at that line, it would be clear to me that I'm missing 'npm', and the solution is obvious -- find out what npm is, and get it installed. But the things that really bit me were tons of examples of JavaScript, which included strange lines like 'import', and I had no idea how to get my website's JavaScript to understand what an import is or any of the other syntax. Nothing would work! I didn't realise there was a whole ecosystem around how to build your code so that it can make use of these things. Every guide assumed I had things going, and I just didn't understand that I needed this other infrastructure in place first before I could do anything.
I thought that they were aiming for $2500/kg and the Falcon 9 example in the video was $4100/kg.

Yeah, but it's some kind of Alternate Web Ghost Story prototype where an uncanny valley ends up terrorizing the developer.

Imagine: you hear faint sounds outside your tent in the middle of the night. You get out to see an vector infographic rustling through your backpack.

And as you slowly approach, it gets bigger. And bigger.

Except for the text, which remains the same size no matter how close you get!

"AAaaaah!"

When the forest rangers arrive the next morning, you and your entire party are nowhere to be found. All that remains is a tiny library a mere few megs in size.

A bush behind your tents hides an old, rusty sign with text too small for the rangers to read:

"Caution: tk canvas scale subcommand does not rescale text or images-- it only adjusts their x/y coordinates."

meh, the FBI, CIA, and all big tech already know you are at home... does it really matter if they know you are on the couch or at your dining room table?
Yeah you can, but there's more configuration involved. The default `nuxt generate` output is an HTML page that just has a loading element and a bunch of JavaScript tags*. On my Astro apps all of components that don't explicitly have a "client" attribute are prerendered

* unless something changed since my last Nuxt project
> Astro was a catalyst that caused developers to ask, ‘Do we really need to ship all that JavaScript?’ The reintroduction of multi-page apps (MPAs) in a modern context is a huge opportunity for developers in the Jamstack ecosystem to make the web better for users.

>That should be fixed by forcing disclosure of beneficial ownership arrangements but that has turned into a roadblock for investigations now precisely because AML laws mean police investigations can get that far. For example, police investigations used to be stymied by numbered Swiss bank accounts. Now AML laws mean that is no longer a protection, and now they are stymied by being unable to force disclosure of who is the beneficial owner of "This is not a criminal gang PTY LTD" from the Cayman Islands.

Are there any actual examples of this? Nearly every major jurisdiction, including UAE, BVI, all of EU, have UBO registers now (except America because despite having authority to do so FINCEN can't make a basic CRUD website). UBO in terms of actually stopping crime is useless because there is nothing that prevents people from lying about it. There are lawyers who will find homeless people to serve as straw men in just about every place in the world. If you're involved in drugs or large scale fraud the extra 2 years or whatever from lying on the UBO form doesn't deter you anyways since if you get caught it will run concurrent with the 10 years you got for your actual crime or it will make your plea deal slightly worse.

The loss of security is to the network. When there are only like 12 actual full nodes, the network is effectively centralized.

Also, please stop calling lightweight pruned nodes "full nodes". It's totally dishonest to try to imply the same security level of a bitcoin full node when it's actually a much weaker security model. I know you're not the only person doing this, but nothing is stopping you from using more honest terminology.
> TerraPower's reactor is an Uranium one, but it's a fast reactor, which has all sorts of advantages, like higher efficiency and fewer waste products.

Virgil doesn't have reflection, so not a lot of metadata needed at runtime. It does full monomorphization (like MLTon), so you can't have polymorphic recursion. Of course that could go exponential, but in practice I see something like 20%-30% space overhead. I have a tendency to use polymorphism for really generic datastructures, like lists, vectors, maps, but I use tuples a ton and now I added algebraic datatypes. It's a lot of fun and the compiler generates pretty good code and compiles fast--full optimized bootstrap in < 400ms).

Of course everyone worries about exponential code blowup. I have a slightly broken implementation of specialization-up-to-machine-rep, but that's not turned on because of some bugs. I think that's the way I'll go in the future.

It is certainly possible to do a type-passing scheme. The built-in interpreter can interpret polymorphic code using dynamic type environments, but can also run monomorphized code. The interpreter is slow.

It's more like calling an articulated robot with a manipulator a 'robotic arm', despite being infinitely simpler than a human arm and with much more limited functionality.

I agree that the speed comparison seems like a very misguided metric though.
It's not true.

I took most of the year off last time I left a job and I was able to get multiple offers when I was ready to jump back in.

Keep in mind my resume is great, I interview well, and I have savings. Not a single company cared that I took time off. Every single one offered me extremely competitive top-of-range compensation.

My leverage was simple - the ability to walk away and other offers/interviews on the table.

If you come off as desperate then yeah companies will use that against you. If you speak softly and indicate indirectly that you're in control - you'll get the respect you deserve.

Personal preference mostly. rvm/gem/bundle is just a lot to set up and keep in your head compared to running a statically-linked binary. It feels like a relic of a previous era. Plus compiled languages are faster, and massively easier to set up if you have contributors running Windows.

> There are ways, but unfortunately all of them run afoul of the spirit of DMCA.

This is not true. There is federal circuit precedent which invalidates the DMCA for exactly those cases

Chamberlain v. Skylink, final court of appeals for the federal circuit opinion, page 39:

"Underlying Chamberlain’s argument on appeal that it has not granted such authorization lies the necessary assumption that Chamberlain is entitled to prohibit legitimate purchasers of its embedded software from “accessing” the software by using it.

Such an entitlement,
however, would go far beyond the idea that the DMCA allows copyright owner to prohibit “fair uses . . . as well as foul.” Reimerdes, 111 F. Supp. 2d at 304.

Chamberlain’s proposed
construction would allow
copyright owners to prohibit exclusively fair uses even in the absence of any feared foul use.

It would therefore allow any copyright owner, through a
combination of contractual terms
and technological measures, to repeal the fair use doctrine with respect to an individual
copyrighted work—or even
selected copies of that copyrighted work. Again, this implication contradicts § 1201(c)(1) directly. Copyright law itself authorizes the public to make certain uses of copyrighted materials.
Consumers who purchase a product containing a copy of embedded software have the inherent legal right to use that copy of the software. What the law authorizes, Chamberlain cannot revoke."
I feel like a more interesting piece of code would be one that generated random (but solvable) puzzles and showed what the minimum number of moves was to solve them.

Reading people's reactions to this makes me think there's only these possible outcomes to trying to get people to act on something that is super important but not immediately obvious:

Trigger: knowledgeable people sound the alarm!

Response action 1: people act immediately and well, leading to...

Action 1 outcome: problem solved before it manifests, leading people to complain about how ridiculous the alarmists were and the over-reaction to the issue e.g. Y2K.

Response action 2: people begin to act, but not quite enough, leading to...

Action 2 outcome: problem still manifests "a bit", leading people to argue over the alarmists and whether more action is warranted or not.

Response action 3: people ignore the alarm, leading to...

Action 3 outcome: worst predictions start manifesting, leading people to complain that the alarm wasn't loud enough or targeted well enough to make them act.

I feel we're experiencing a mix of 2 and 3.

I am writing a large Go web application right now and I disagree with this. I do not want to return an error. I want to write an error page or an error JSON message depending on the handler. By the time you are deep in a web application you are copy and pasting all your error blocks anyway. This [1] is a sample of one of my functions. I honestly love Go for how consistent it is.

I wrote a rudimentary static checker [2] to make sure that any function does not call both the jsonError() and errorPage() functions. This was quite a problem given how much I reuse code. I disagree with the author's take because it is incredibly obvious and quite easy to track down when you forget a return. You will have a big block of garbage in the middle of your page and JSON, and your unique error message should lead you directly to the line.

My problem is actually in executing the templates at the end of the functions [1], when you finally write out the page. If that has an error, you can't really back track. I've been thinking about changing that to write to a temporary buffer which then writes to the http.ResponseWriter but haven't made the change yet.

> Your statement does not contradict the general idea that its moat is evaporating

Personally I think it does because frankly speaking this sort of change tends to happen in the US/Canada and maybe a handful of other western countries at best and nowhere else, for reasons far greater than tech enthusiasts' belly-aching.

Take Apple Maps as an alternative, for example, which is pretty much only available on Apple devices and can thus not march towards parity amongst populations that simply cannot afford Apple devices (which is the majority of people on Earth). It's not just "a matter of time" before Apple Maps is a real challenger in India, because iPhones have a low-single-digit market share there. It would take actual significant action such as Apple releasing Apple Maps for Android for it to even be in the running, and even if that happens then it would still need to contend with Google Maps' existing foothold.
And yet the top of this thread begins with the claim that it's hard to alarm people (my words) appropriately enough to act. Ironic.
I tested it out with my typical work commute and the routing seemed pretty reasonable actually, beyond unprotected straights and left turns on major arteries that just aren't going to be easy to do. My issues are of course the osm layer view has a lot of seemingly useless information that I can't make any sense of. Look at the region around Beverly Blvd and Silverlake Blvd in Los Angeles: What is all that red stuff randomly on roads and alleyways supposed to represent? It's also on the stands in the hollywood bowl. Bike lanes are also not demarked on here, although weird things like the 'official' route of route 66 through LA are demarked clear as day although I'm not sure why anyone would ever need that piece of information. There's also a dotted purple line on some streets that I'm not sure what it could possibly represent, because its kinda like the red lines just randomly applied without any significance seemingly. Another issue seems to be that I can't type an address at all, I need to zoom in and choose it with the mouse. Good luck with the project, hope my feedback helps some.
