There are differences:

Bitcoins can be divided. Ana can take her pile of coins and mark them as "This half can be moved by Berta in the future and the other half can be moved by Charles in the future". Now what was one pile is now two piles.

Bitcoins can be combined. To combine two piles of coins into one, one has to be the owner of both piles.
Streamed-response use cases get weird/complicated if you have to return the response.
Still sucks that unwitting people would have to (1) know this is going on and (2) go through the trouble of paying fees to burn the dust / figure out how much they need to burn.

And sure that could work once or twice but if this becomes a regular thing it's most certainly not sustainable.
An actual old-school handbrake can be engaged gradually. One reason I'm not fond of the new automatic parking brake systems.
The p50 speed up from delaying memory management comes with a trade off, namely you get Garbage Collection pauses, bad p99, and spend your effort tuning the Garbage Collector instead of your code.
That's seriously amazing, do you know if there are solid state breakers for high voltage? 480v is of course a lot, but if these guys were working on a distribution box outside the actual DC, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't fully stepped down yet.
Why couldn’t it be native (whatever that even means)? At the end of the day, it does have a canvas you are free to draw anything on, so there is nothing you can’t imitate.
The bottom line, from my experience is this:

XML means you have to think about how you're architect information exchange much more thoughtfully, because XML is much more strict and follows very explicit rules. It also means you have to develop a schema for your interchange.

With JSON, you can, more or less, just serialize as is, not much thought in the world, and it can be understood by the client. You're not obligated by the protocol to do anything about developing a schema or anything of that nature.

Yes, parts of the XML world have now bled over (defined schema and path algorithms being the big ones I think) but they're optional for better or worse.

Everyone takes the path of least resistance when given the opportunity at the end of the day. This is especially true of software engineers I've found.

I don't really write in Java these days, but when I did the biggest pain points for me were:

- IDE: IntelliJ and before that, Eclipse, were painfully slow to use. Even now occasionally if I have to launch Android Studio I have to wait for Gradle and various other things. The entire IDE gets sluggish while it's doing indexing and all sorts of weirdness. vim integration was quite poor at the time, I don't know if things have changed since.

- Verbosity: It always feels like I am writing boilerplate and long names. I remember trying to write something with websockets and no matter what library I picked there was a ton of boilerplate to write for just connecting to a socket and sending a message.

If given a choice I'd much rather write in Python, C#, Ruby or even Typescript. The language feels very dated - or perhaps there are newer ways to do things that I'm totally unaware of.
Interesting read, thanks for sharing

Experienced C developers have switched to it. Actually it gets even better, they are extremely productive in it. Don't trust me, check github.

I wonder why. /s
That's exactly right - or at least it's my theory which has so far worked just fine. Seems that without the extra capacitance on the output of my power supply, the voltage can droop just enough to cause a reset in the CPU or somewhere in the phone's hardware during high-draw moments. The extra capacitance helps lessen the droop enough to keep things humming along. :)

I forgot to mention this, but the phone has also been loaded with LineageOS to get rid of a lot of the default crap that was on there. It boots way faster and IP Webcam seems to run more reliably this way!
Don't forget about credit rating agencies, and the US Post Office, and ...

The tracking has always been there, it's just now becoming harder to ignore. It sucks, but it's possibly also a good thing because people are finally starting to care.
There is no obvious way to get a hash from (void*).

And yes, C developers also tend to avoid ordered containers.
MAUI in .NET 7 checks many of the boxes you have here:

- Native looking: MAUI supports native controls as much as possible

- Cross platform: Nearly everything but Linux today (and there are forks out there trying to bridge that gap); macOS (Catalyst), Windows, iOS, and Android

- C# as the default .NET option is a very sane language. Other options may be possible with more effort. (Some people are still working on that.)

- MAUI's focus is still on declarative XAML UI with databinding (MVVM), but there's a growing community for MVU (vaguely Elm-like) architecture including some official out-of-the-box support now.
Our system is highly beneficial to the top quarter roughly.

The median of that group has gotten significantly richer over 20 or 50 years and is better off in the US than they would be anywhere else in terms of wealth and scale (scale as in how many of them can reach that level of wealth and have access to the kind of economic opportunities that the US presents). Europe has nothing remotely like it, outside of small population nations like Norway or Switzerland (and you need to reach the top 10% there to be comparable). Wealth isn't everything? Correct, of course; the US culture is rotting rapidly, and devolving into predictable tribalism, an unavoidable result of government policy choices over the prior many decades.

If you can get into the top quarter in the US, use that position for all its worth. If you can't, it's not going to be a great existence unless you live in a nice college town or the equivalent.

However, the middle class (and the near groupings below or above that) across most of the developed world are facing a severe smashing, which will result in recurring French-like riots and protests in the decades to come. Most of affluent Europe hasn't seen consequential economic growth in two decades or more at this point. It's destroying their welfare systems gradually, weakening their social safety nets and loading their systems up with debt, just as their demographics are breaking. The huge French riots prior to the pandemic were one of the first big warning shots of what's coming. Japan, as another example, has seen a minimum of 1/3 of its standard of living wiped out over the past 20 years, and there's a lot more damage to come; the US and EU are both suffering from variations of Japanification economically (high debt, low dynamism, aged demographics, persistently mediocre productivity growth, low GDP growth, low GDP per capita growth, falling or stagnant standards of living for decades, struggling to allocate enough resources to the welfare state to maintain social promises, and so on).

Or take Germany as an example. They've had a remarkable - supposedly remarkable - economic run for decades now. Riding on an artificially weak currency (for their economy) which they've used to build up a freakishly abnormal export juggernaut. And yet their median net wealth figure is mediocre, below that of the US; their workers are not benefitting as they should be. And at this point Germany has seen net zero per capita economic expansion for coming up on 30 years. How long can that situation continue before something breaks? Not much longer I'd wager.

While the US is seeing many of the same problems, it's absolutely correct that it's better to live in cities in other affluent nations, rather than in the US. US cities are horrific by and large, with few exceptions.

That would just create a massive underground black market, this time even more pernicious because it's international, with state-level actors.
Indeed. All cars suffer the same speed limits and traffic, so how effective your car is ultimately depends on how you drive within those constraints. The analogy slyly condenses everything down to some car-manufacturer-marketing version of "fun", betraying both spirited drivers and whatever topic it is applied to.

Since we're throwing out analogies, Java-the-language is more like a riding lawnmower. It is capable of getting you to your destination, but will be slow and painful the entire time. There is probably some external constraint that you'll be forced to endure this, like losing your license.
So duplication is not inherently bad if each team has slightly different requirements and is expected to own its infrastructure. Or in other words, the overhead of communication can easily be higher than the overhead of duplication.

Any country with ICBMs pointed at us cannot plausibly claim special privileges for being "underdeveloped".
It's not true in all metros. I am within a reasonable daily commute to a major city. Being willing and able to move ~30 miles would add two other major cities. At least one of them, by nearly all metrics, is more expensive than several of the cities you listed.

And just because home prices drop a fraction of a percent doesn't mean you're suddenly taking a six figure loss if you sell and move, especially if like your example the price has increased 50% in the last year.
Avalanche lets you natively bridge bitcoin to their network, and it lets you transact fairly cheaply (think my last transaction was $.15) and their consensus algorithm can reach finality pretty quickly. Typically around 2 seconds. But it also has smart contract support.
I think as a society we'd do vastly better to learn how to socialize outside of work. People need to have hobbies and stuff (and they need to have enough free time outside of work to have hobbies instead of coming home and being too burned out to do anything).
That's interesting, I hadn't seen this version of "perilous" before but I like it.
Same. I prefer that the manufacturer dictates to me how I use my end user Apple device as long as it has marginally better battery life.

Median filtering and trimming saturated measures is common in research like this-- hopefully designed into the original protocol. I do agree it would be nice to see their preregistration.

But, weird things happen at the tails-- truncation effects, etc.
Java/.NET have first class support for XML and SOAP, most other languages don't. It's too easy to use XML in those languages. Other languages don't have that tooling or support and it's just a slog.

> The biggest thing Java is missing is full hot swap

The biggest thing missing in Java is an answer for the billion-dollar mistake. Real world Java is plagued by NPEs because a lot of Java is written by low caliber programmers. Java + functional error handling would be a monumental improvement.

That's a terribly broad generalization. There are multiple other options that are entirely sane.

"net/http" doesn't seem to come with a lot of great defaults that almost every web app would use such as named path parameters which you'd need to write a bunch of code and regex to extract, middleware, routing based on HTTP method etc. This is all stuff you'd have to implement anyway

I'd much prefer using something that's an abstraction of it like Gin, Chi, Echo and the like. They're fairly performative and add very little overhead on top of the standard package
Grew up driving pre-1980's cars and didn't know about this until this year. The light on the dash that lit up was the same indicator as the light that comes on when the hand-brake is engaged. When the light would not go off when the hand-brake was disengaged and I thought the brake needed adjustment. Nope, fluid just low.
The point is if you want to consider how successful a major infrastructure project then you should base things on similar countries. Brazil has multiple nuclear reactors though South America has very few.

If the history of nuclear incidents should tell us anything it’s the importantance of understanding failure modes. To use a Brazil example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goiânia_accident

Massive complex infrastructure projects in poor countries often fail to finish or suffer from substandard construction etc.

Yikes. Sounds like they either didn't dig deep enough to see if it was exploited or they don't keep records long enough to be sure.
> but I think it'll slowly move the way of COBOL and FORTRAN

That could be true of any language that's achieved great popularity, but in 2022 Java is the language that dominates server-side development (by plurality, not majority), it is a technological leader in areas of compilation, garbage collection, and low-overhead in-production profiling, no other single language looks posed to seriously challenges Java's dominant position on the server (as PHP seemed for a while), and, at 27, it is more popular than COBOL was in its (rather short) heyday.

But it is true that Java is among a select set of languages (alongside Python, JavaScript, and C) that have managed to achieve a level of success sufficient to become "a COBOL" or "a Fortran" someday.

> If your organization exchanges bitcoin, you're gonna get the regulatory hammer

Does the American regulatory hammer have worldwide jurisdiction? US might convince the EU to follow suit, but what if China says "sure Iran, we'll gladly buy your BTC and sell you RMB", what then? These worldwide regulatory hammers that pretty much everybody (not just in the Western world) respects are called embargoes. Good luck embargoing China.

Unless by regulatory hammer you mean the US military, then yes, there's a chance they could do something, but it won't be pretty for anybody. If it's just lawyers arguing, I'm telling you it's easier not to ban Bitcoin but embracing it (and extinguishing it) without weakening the US position in the world stage.

This is just plain wrong.

This is called a “covert contract”. It’s perhaps the key part of “nice” behaviour that is everything but - you can’t tie someone up in a “deal” that they never agreed to. Even worse, punishing someone else for not keeping up their side of the non-negotiated “deal”
Lots of people judge others by the looks, but he's been creepy in his deeds, too.
EA started with a good idea: what’s the best way to donate $100? Bed nets! This is fantastic. What’s the best way to donate $1B? More bed nets? I’d prefer gov’t and infrastructure changes that lower the mosquito population in tropical areas. Similarly, if you’re concerned about pandemics, then govts should allocate some money and resources to that problem. The best use of donor money is to push politicians to pay attention to this issue.

The article ends with MacAskill saying: “My No. 1 worry is: what if we’re focussed on entirely the wrong things?” The problem with too-longtermism is it’s impossible to know the context of these problems outside of a decade or two. For pandemics, no one thought we’d have a vaccine so fast. Perhaps in 20 years custom vaccines will come on the market in days. It’s impossible to know, so let the next generation figure it out.
Spring would be my only reason to ditch Java.
I guess I was confused because right now you do not code Java like that.
I spent almost all of my career writing Ruby before I ended up at a company that required me to write mostly Kotlin (a bit of scala here and there too). After a few years of Kotlin I don't want to use anything else. There's a bit more ceremony to getting things set up but the experience of writing Kotlin with Intellij IDEA has been so wonderful I'm happy to keep doing it.
> As someone who wants to work more in person with our colleagues, it is disappointing to see that my opinion is so contrarian.

I don't mind that others want to work from the office. I mind that others want to drag me back into the office kicking and screaming, all the whole insisting it's "for my own good" when really it comes down to preference.

None of the points ring true for my life. Yes I feel less connected to coworkers, but that's just led me to being more conscious about getting my social interaction outside the office, which I view as healthier anyway. If your only friends are coworkers that's not a healthy situation.

Sure I sometimes procrastinate working by being on the internet (see this comment), but no worse than I did in the office. Rather I'm more productive because I don't have the constant noise of the office and people showing up and my workstation to distract me.

I don't doubt that some find that the lines between work and leisure are blurring, but there are solutions to that other than the office. A friend of mine put his work desk in his garage so he could get up and physically leave work. Another goes for a walk after work to simulate a "commute". Personally I've found it sufficient to maintain a strict separation between work and personal devices and shut off the work devices at the end of the work day.

If the office is right for you, you do you. But don't force it on me on the assumption that because it's the answer for you it must be for me as well.

Meanwhile in Japan, there was a crazy sentence for a crime of using a crypto-currency that has been stolen. Not the real criminal responsible of the theft, but some random idiots who think investing on crypto-currency was a good idea and purchased the token that was a part of stolen token.

I bet these idiots has never run full-node on the computer he owns. He just relies on some SaaS wallet service by somebody else.

I guess ignorance is a crime.
Right now, neurons in your head are firing and generating thoughts and concepts in response to light hitting your eyes in patterns that were created to represent thoughts in my head - there is a chain of direct physical phenomena that stretch from my brain to your brain that are affecting thoughts in your head right now. In person, it's even more direct - neuronal firing patterns in my brain cause jostling air molecules which incite neuronal firing patterns in your head. In a very real and direct way, my neuronal firing patterns influence your neuronal firing patterns.

What's amazing is that this extends out through time and distance - my neuronal firing patterns are shaped and affected by the neuronal firing patterns of beings long dead through both the same direct mechanisms described above and more indirect mechanisms mediated through other beings over time - in fact, by the time you've read this far, I'll have indelibly impacted your neuronal firing patterns. You'll never think again in a way that's not influenced by my thinking.
Jury nullification isn't just an evil jury frustrating the heroic pursuit of truth and justice for the land.

It's also a jury looking at a fellow citizen getting hung out to dry by a crooked/ambitious DA and law enforcement entity, or shifty looking DEA agent and saying "Enough is enough. This is overreach, dirty, and wrong, and every last one of you knows it."

Nothing is a given about how our system works. Justice and politics are constantly evolving things. Each process serving as inputs to the others.

We try to create a world of predictable consequences. We try to minimize the number of places surprising things can pop up from. However, deep down, we bear forward the history of abuses by systems past, which is why we maintain these safety valves, even if they are infrequently used, lest our vigilance wane that they need to be used again.

It's why jury duty is the most important damn responsibility in the country.

Adults exposed to lead as children have less brain volume in the prefrontal cortex and several other areas. It’s definitely not impossible that this could kickstart maladaptive cognitive patterns such as narcissism.
