Indie is when the major investors are making the game, at least for me. So if the guys are making their own game without investments they are indie, as in the creators can be free of influences of outside investors.
The thing is, I've seen sloppy, hacked-together code in finance, in a variety of languages, including Java and C, where the barrier to entry is relatively high, and the language fairly strict. You just don't hear about the coding fiascos, as they're mostly behind closed doors.

PHP has a low barrier to entry, but that's a great thing in my opinion. It's something that should be celebrated, and at the very least, it shouldn't be a criticism!

Bad developers exist in every language, and no language is completely wart-free. People just like to zero in on PHP to criticise it because it's easy, and it bugs me a bit (especially if they're simultaneously singing the praises of another less than perfect language such as JS or Python or Go).
* Austria made vaccines mandatory. You got a letter from the government saying "present yourself at this time and place to get a vaccine". Making a vaccine whose long term effects are not known mandatory is an abuse of power IMO. There were talks of this in Germany too but luckily the officials were more level headed there.

* Despite taking literally daily tests, I was not allowed into any establishment inside Germany since I did not have a vaccine pass. The only place I could go for months was the supermarket -- it got so bad I left Germany temporarily get away from the measures.

* Lockdowns and curfews abound. My grandparents (not in Germany) were not allowed outside the house except for 1 hour a day, and they had to write down their route exactly in case the police checked them.

* This is from the people, not the government, but the amount of people who would blindly say "trust the science behind the vaccines" is.. insane. Do they understand the concept of science at all? You cannot prove there are no long term effects of a newly developed vaccine, also using a newly developed method of creating vaccines, without an experiment. No matter how smart the scientists are. Trust is not a thing in science. (The same can be said of COVID, but then _let me make my own choice_, based on my own risk factors)
My boss, the last 6 months. They are still looking what is the cause. A friend of hun had the same for years, then suddenly gone.
The interesting difference, and current problem, is VCs expect raised funds to be spent as burn on hiring more people despite existing people already being paid from VC capital instead of revenue. And they expect that to keep happening: each next round will be bigger and cover even bigger payrolls. If the next round doesn't happen, layoffs, and if flat (ex: bc markups are down 3x), dilution & quitting by the best - either way, downward spiral that is hard to return from. The gamble is nothing breaks while this happens -- doubling down the bet.

With interest loans based on revenue, it's fine to stop whenever bc you have revenue for (most of) payroll.

Operationally, that expectation is now worse than interest. In the good times, it was free money for free growth, but with fewer and marked down rounds, a killer. Some founders value efficiency, which avoids this issue, but in the last few years, VC boards certainly were encouraging inefficient growth, meaning bad times for such VC-dependent companies.

> he very obviously made a mistake in compiling files of incriminating evidence on the rich and powerful

This strategy clearly seems to have worked well in some cases (Scientology, Hoover’s FBI).

Maybe you need a big institution engaging in the strategy, to obfuscate and diffuse the responsibility & blame?
Maybe.

Take fuel injection as an example. You used to need to adjust carburetors for altitude, environment, performance; today, an engine's computer auto adapts. It can be modified but the specialization required is much higher with much less reward.

Take computers as an example; 30 years ago, and updating an OS took hours and a dozen floppy disks, installing a new program took purchasing it, installing via floppies, now we have app stores and wifi. (Installing apks not from store is an example to still get this technical detail and satisfaction).

Take networking; a single access point is solved, but if you explore into mesh, or figure, hey, i stream 4k there a lot, i should use cat5, it's exciting when you solve the problem.

I'm really late with the reply and it doesn't really matter anyway, but how Signal is doing it is not what I would like to see. It would be less of an issue if you can backup and restore your Signal chats, but as of right now, it's impossible (at least on Apple devices). I use Signal because lots of my friends prefer it, but I don't like that losing my phone would mean losing my complete chat history of all my chats. Maybe I'm not their target audience, but I think Signal is already mainstream enough that chat backups and restores should be a thing.

What I was expecting from Telegram (although it doesn't look like they plan to do this) is synced, E2E encrypted cloud chats. So any new device I add has access to all the previous message history, and is independent of all other devices.

"Web3 data" means nothing. If you're referring to blockchain data, say blockchain data.

I got a massive jump in performance when moving from Python 3.8 to 3.10 (over some function call optimizations I think, based on the project). And 3.11 got even better (up to 50% faster on special cases, and 10~15% on average) with respect to 3.10. Python 3.12 is already getting even more speedups and a there's a lot more down the road[0].

But Python core developers value keeping "not breaking anyones code" (Python 3 itself was a huge trip on that aspect and they're not making that mistake again), that's why things may seem slow on their end. But work is being done, and the results are there if you benchmark things.

It's about a personal insult in that thread, but I think it can be extrapolated to comment length. I agree that many news coverage are bad, or just a copy&paste of the press release. It's difficult to change the world, but at least we can try to have a nice discussion here.

You're conflating real life with logic.

In your example, according to logic, if X implies Y, then if you don't have Y, you necessarily don't have X. If this were a logic exercise, then not "SBF goes to jail" necessarily implies not "the government is not corrupt."

However, in real life there's no connection between the two.
> I didn't and don't have an opinion about it. Like everyone else here, I don't have enough information to reach a conclusion, let alone a high-confidence one.

This seems to be a few (shaky, IMO) premises.

1. EA the organization (not the philosophy) are made of people who are adept at doing risk-reward calculation. This is the premise I find most suspicious given their recent record of blowing wild axioms out of proportion and blowing up their own face by suckering up too much to the FTX money without realizing the risk.

2. The people in the org are in it for actually doing good instead self aggrandization, a sin they blame most charities for. I find it more suspicious that somehow the world gathered a few angels in human form in one place, and more plausible that it's the classic "oh that guy is shady, listen to me" variant of the scam. Am I cynical? Maybe. But the evidence here supports me.

Which leads me to the final point, circumstantial evidence. In a third world country where I grew up, if my region had a large flood that brought in a lot of charitable donations, and the next week the local politician showed up in a new SUV, we didn't debate all that you're arguing. If it quacks like corruption and walks like corruption, it's probably corruption and not some 357-dimensional chess by the most brilliant minds of our generation.
> I know some people aren't going to like reading this

That's because it's an unpopular opinion in an industry teeming with reclusive and rabidly antisocial people.

But it's one that I subscribe to and indeed all the engineers at the company I work for do, as well. The fact is, at remote jobs I made zero relationships even though the people were generally approachable and easy to talk to. I got one job with a person I already had good relationships and wouldn't you know but our relationship never got much deeper until I flew out to Utah to simply hang out with him.

That was what made me switch to an on-site job, and 14 months in, I think I've made the right decision. Office shenanigans, small talk, an overheard joke are what really make the relationship. To say nothing of breaking bread with your office companions! Who likes eating alone every day? I've also found that the artificiality of Zoom sessions really ruin mundane interactions. I communicated less with people whilst working remotely, and the communications themselves were noticeably less satisfying.

There's a similar effect where you can describe a social program but frame it as a description of a replacement for that program and get Republicans (it's usually Republicans in these, since they're the ones who tend to have some amount of dislike for most social programs) to say they'd support it, while also saying they hate the existing program. Or you can get them to say that such-and-such program should be eliminated because it's way too wasteful, then to agree the program would be great if you could enact reform to get waste down to X... where X is actually the measured waste in the existing program.

Relatedly, you can get voters to say they don't like a social program, but get them to agree they like all the individual things it actually does (usually, they don't really know what it does, they've just been told to dislike it).

> The process of creating c involved stripping off everything but the most necessary features. Null references made it, nullable types likely wouldn't have.

It's not like you can just "merge" pypy into python, they are totally different implementations. CPython is written in C and PyPy is written in RPython which is a subset of the python language that gets compiled, into into an interpreter with JIT support.

Neither "simplicity" nor "performance" were huge factors in Algol's design.

And yet, suprisingly (not) they power everything at scale unimaginable to anything happening in crypto. The "amazing scalable crypto" barely manages the complexity and scale you can easily run from a Raspberry Pi with a sqlite database.

Yes and no. Living in a city defeats the purpose of working remotely. If you're remote with no dependants, you have ultimate freedom. Pick an outdoor activity and move east from your working timezone. Stay at a hostel, they usually have private rooms. Do said activity in the morning, work during the day, hang out with people from the hostel at night.

If you're in the city, then yeah, go to an office. Preferably one that is walking distance from a good pub or a good music venue.

If your goal is to minimize pathogens transferred from seat to hand, you can think of the man's second seat manipulation as "zero cost" in the sense that their hand is already contaminated and they'll need to wash thoroughly

Man 2x, Woman 0x = 1 "contamination" cost incurred
Man 1x, Woman 1x = 2 "contamination" cost incurred
Is this about being obtuse on purpose?

I could also do an immitation of a dumb pedantic person and just answer your "First, zero dollars were spent adding null safety to languages? False", with: "I didn't say "zero" I said "Close to none". So PWNED! or something equally immature.

But one can also chose to be charitable. E.g. to understand that:

> Zero dollars were spent converting code to those languages? False.

Having null safety doesn't necessarily mean "converting". Could also mean not having nulls in a language to begin with. So "how many dollars does it cost to have null safety" in that case is zero. It's fixing the addition of nulls after the fact that can have a cost.

Even so, the conversion to null safety is not that costly (it's nothing like a rewrite, more like going around a program and fixing SQL Injection cases or XSS). It also makes evident many logical and safety errors in the initial program when done (many teams have written about such experience), and any cost has to be offset with the cost of those errors not happening anymore.

In any case, those are not costs of not having null to begin with in the language. They are costs of retrofixing code in ones that did have it.

> Zero dollars were spent solving problems uniquely created by not having the benefits of null? Also false.

There are no "problems uniquely created by not having the benefits of null". In fact, there are no "benefits of null" to begin with.

> Sounds like a crappy way to reason about facts.

Then again sounds like you didn't provide any facts. Just shown ignorance of computer science theory AND history, along with certainty and immature tone.
Yes, lower than USDA limit. Except it turns out USDA limit is 25x higher than pre-agriculture erosion rates (which I guess no one had actually measured before).
Here's an example of a database abstraction choice: the data model.

Do you treat data as a series of normalized row-based data tables with joins optimized for strongly consistent OLTP? [PostgreSQL]

Or as a denormalized row-based key-key-value single table optimized for eventually consistent OLTP? [ScyllaDB]

Or as a denormalized column-based single table optimized for OLAP? [Pinot]

Or as a denormalized key-value optimized for in-memory caching? [Redis]

And so on for document stores, or property graphs, etc.

Each of these design choices then gives way to the abstractions of implementation.
