Yep. The wordy nature of Java is just giving you more info to work with when you dive into code you haven't seen before. Java is also a lot less wordy than it used to be, and if you use the right tooling you don't need to actually type everything by hand anyway.

What matters most for maintaining large codebases that a lot of people work on is the type system and the tooling. A large ecosystem of good tooling exists for working with Java, and it is empowered by the static type system to do some very impressive things. Some of the .net stuff is probably close to that with Visual Studio and the ecosystem around it. Everything else is pretty far behind, including Python and Ruby and Go.

I know people who work on a massive Java codebase that is almost 20 years old and has over 1000 people currently working on it -- and thousands more have passed through that codebase in prior years. It's not a lot of fun. But if it was a Python codebase, it would actually be impossible.

Thank you for stating this plainly!

I think that, very often, debates on these topics are hamstrung by one/both sides assuming that the other is being disingenuous.

I think our best hope of making progress on these things is to have an honest, shared understanding of everyone's positions and goals. I'm so grateful that you were willing to do that.
To add on to that, I use iTerm2 with tmux control mode which combines a native UI frontend with a tmux backend on a remote server, meaning I can spawn new native tabs, windows, or panes and they're all tracked by the remote so I can reconnect to all of them at once if I disconnect.

I keep one laptop at home and one laptop at work and can seamlessly switch between the two without having to manage my active sessions at all. If I open a new tab at work and go home for the day it'll be there on my laptop at home.

This diseases has infected almost anything. Even many expensive product I see have obvious cut corners and great effort seems to have gone into making it connect to an app, which nobody in their right mind would want to use.

The sever decline in general product quality, together with an increase in unneeded complexity, is absolutely awful.
You can go on amazon right now and for every product imaginable you can find many which are essentially just designed to be thrown into the trash in a couple of years, when with some actual effort the same thing could be made to last far longer.

It is easy to blame the buyers who "just cares about the cost", but I am not sure that tells the entire story. Surely there is a significant market segment of people willing to buy actual high quality products.
Wolf reintroductions to Yellowstone, for instance, totally changed the ecosystem for the better.

Animals evolved to keep each other in check. If you remove one animal, but not its prey, then the prey can cause an even greater loss of biodiversity by excessive proliferation. In the case of Yellowstone’s wolves, their absence allowed elk to proliferate. Elk then ate too much vegetarian, which prevented forests from developing. The lack of forest lead to a decline in song bird and beaver populations. The decline in beavers lead to a decline in dams, which removed key habitats for other animals.

To flip your question on its head: the reintroduction of wolves was clearly beneficial for Yellowstone. What is the argument against reintroducing the wolf, or reintroductions in general?
OK, that makes a bit of sense. But I don't know what it means for two real quantities to be relatively prime. Primality is about factoring, right? And you can only factor integers. So to observe primality, you'd have to partition interval measurements into an integral number time-units.

Can two reals be relatively prime no matter how you partition them into integers?
Places that use Yondr also make you go through airport-like security and won't allow either of those things in.
The market for ICE vehicles is going to dramatically change moving forward. Don't buy an expensive ICE vehicle looking ahead if you want to minimize the risk of high depreciation. (of course, this is a generalized statement, and as EVs continue to develop, the areas where EVs still can't compete will still provide stable markets for ICE vehicles. As that changes, expect changes.)

What I don't get, is that Apple lost their foothold in both the creative market & education markets, and don't seem to be trying to address it. Why is the Mac Pro still the same price, three years after its release? Why not work with aeronautics, engineering, CAD, architecture vendors to port their apps to the Mac? Why not sacrifice hardware margins, now that they're moving into services?

I read an estimate from a French firm that Mac Pro volumes are orders of magnitude lower than Power Mac volumes were two decades ago; are they doing anything about it?

It is not true at all. I have already seen more new styles since summer from Stable Diffusion than in the last 20 years of going to art galleries.

Every artist has their influences. If they come up with something new it is from a unique combination of their influences. Stable Diffusion makes this literally trivial.

You're right: it's the policy that's bad. However, facial recognition is what makes enforcing that policy possible, and society and the law haven't changed quickly enough to deal with the repercussions.

For instance, say 18 year old "Joe" gets caught stealing soda from a fast food place. The manager kicks him out and bans him from the store. Fast forward a decade, when Joe walks back into the store with his wife and kid to buy a quick meal.

Without facial recognition: Joe's grown up and matured. The manager was either replaced years ago, or doesn't remember the incident, or vaguely remembers but doesn't care about it anymore. Joe and his family pay, eat, and leave.

With facial recognition: the system notices that someone on its "do not allow" list has entered the store and summons police to deal with the trespasser.

When human judgment is involved, we rarely deal with absolutes. A lifetime ban isn't really for life. It's until both parties grow up and the situation cools down. A ban on a competitor's employees isn't absolute. Maybe you won't serve the owner, but if his dishwasher comes to your place on a date, you're not gonna hassle the kid. We're really, really bad at designing automated systems that handle nuance. It's way easier to write code like `if photo_hash in banned_people: ...`.
eh, kind of both.

When you invent a hammer someone is going to use it to hit someone else over the head with it. It is an unavoidable foregone conclusion. Now, instead of a hammer in which society thinks they are useful and that anyone should have one, lets look at more controversial things like guns. In the US we tend to think everyone should have one, other countries tend to think the opposite, and are crime statistics reflect that.

And I would hold the same is true when it comes to 'business crimes'. The US will likely uphold that businesses can use advanced technology against the general public, and countries in the EU will more than likely prevent businesses from discriminating with it.

There is a reason we have laws regarding technologies. People will abuse them and the law is there to punish those who are abusers.
I have two exception for the buy it cheap rule. I first look for a high quality option being sold used. Sometimes you can get the better option for cheaper. This is of course only worth the time on more expensive stuff.

Then, I also have started getting the one step up from the cheapest option. A lot of times that seems to be a better buy these days.

>The USPS is primarily looking to get its fleet from defense contractor Oshkosh, which will provide 60,000 vehicles, with 45,000 of them being electric. But the mail agency will also look to other automakers for another 46,000 vans, with 21,000 of those being EVs.

>Podesta told The Washington Post he believes it will pressure other shipping and delivery companies “to up their game, too.” Some companies like FedEx have already reserved 2,500 electric delivery vans from GM-backed BrightDrop, and Amazon ordered 100,000 Rivian EVs to be on the road by 2030.

Is a military contractor really the best solution we have for cars? As much as I love the headline, this feels like a handout to defense contractors

Regarding having drivers respect preferences...

Shippers end up eating the cost of these packages, and they are making an economic tradeoff: Slower deliveries by following preferences vs. eating the cost of loss. They are choosing the latter. Maybe they haven't done the analysis right, or maybe the overall costs really are lower that way.

I've been asking around about the dot com bust, trying to get a better picture of it

The problem is that most of the people I've talked to were employed at huge, profitable companies that made actual products. So it was just a blip for them.

I was working on web development after school and got laid off, but all that meant was I had to eat the food my parents made for me instead of eating at fast food places with my friends..

GitHub Copilot

As a manager & parent with only occasional bursts of time to code (some work, mostly side/fun stuff), Copilot has turned out to be incredibly useful in smoothing over all of the small things I'm slow at because I don't do them daily. And especially since I have limited time, I just want to get the damn thing working and am quite happy to <Tab> my way there as quickly as possible.
Not 100 hours yet but I've been pleasantly surprised how effective ChatGPT is at giving me code that is 90-100% good to work with. Never used Copilot but now I'm warming up to this idea.

It’s madness to allow an unconstitutional vigilante law to remain in force on the pretext that after enforcement took place, victims might be entitled to protection from the courts - on an individual basis and at their own risk. This creates a clear chilling effect. The plaintiffs knew this and the conservative judges on the Court also knew it. The politicians who passed the law also knew it: that’s precisely why they passed it.

Fortunately the elected branches provide a backstop for when Courts begin endorsing absurd arguments like this. I presume we’ll keep seeing results like the one we saw in November as long as voters keep hearing absurd and politically-motivated arguments like this.

How about an e-giftcard that is just a series of numbers and I can use to purchase anything online without filling out my credit info.

e.g. I went to somewhere and bought an e-giftcard of $1000, I use $100 of it to buy a licensed software and download it, I pay another $50 for an online subscription,etc.

So I do not need disclose my location and even my name when I do not need to, this is basically a simple bitcoin-style-debit-card-for-online-purchases.

does such thing exist? any online stores accept that? if not why not.

clickhouse-local is a really good tool for analyzing local data, as it supports a wide range of data formats and it's really fast. It can save you a lot of time, because there is no need to install a batch of packages to use it or setup a database server. Just download a binary/install one package and enjoy. It has developed rapidly in recent years and continues to improve.

What I meant is argument marked as Iterable is compatible with list being passed.

> Iterable is better as an argument type unless you have a reason to force consumers to use lists

See, I feel the exact opposite: I use Iterable only if I have a reason to force consumers to use Iterable.

When you're marking argument as Iterable, how confident do you feel that you will never query collection size or access it by index?

I understand the desire to limit the interface and YAGNI, but since lists are more familiar and ubiquitous, using Iterable feels more complicated and unnecessarily pedantic.

Oh interesting, so you only drop a public key onto the VPS, and you forward TLS to the VM at home instead of terminating on the VPS. That's a neat idea.

So with your statement, "I still don't want to trust a VPS provider", is this more about having your secrets or file contents leaked? Because even in your design, if the VM is compromised, then so are your users. At some level you still have to trust that the provider isn't malicious or vulnerable.
> I hate crypto but be real, Coinbase actually releases financial statements due to being regulated in the USA.

My argument is that tokens on Coinbase are unregulated and haven't been approved by regulators. That point still stands even if Coinbase publishes financial statements as a public company.

> Armstrong has a giant mansion in LA. Where is Binance or CZ?

He said once that he lives in Airbnb's and doesn't like the hassle of owning a house. I'm with him on this one. Do you really want a bunch of strangers (cleaners, maintenance, gardeners, etc) walking around your house as a wealthy person? That's a business. Not a home.

> Binance chain (BNB) is a fork of ethereum that is specifically created for frauds. Coinbase does not have one.

Coinbase originally just listed a few cryptocurrencies. Nothing changed in terms of regulation and then they started to list a lot more. So what changed in terms of Coinbase's thinking? Profit motive became more intense after they went public.

> Binance lists monero, the currency of darknet markets. Coinbase stays far away from any privacy coin that could raise flags.

Almost every cryptocurrency on Coinbase raises red flags. Quite a few of them did ICO's or something similar. They sold to investors without proper disclosures. ICO's are a slimy way to raise funds. So why does Coinbase list tokens that did ICO's?
This seems like overkill. I bet even a simple wooden box would do, simply because thieves wouldn't see whether there IS a package. They wouldn't go from house to house rummaging through the boxes I bet.

And the author of the blog post is a book author on the language and Java Champion, so uhh, yeah, it would be very weird not to go with Java in this case.
True that we know little and actually this is my point. I fear that "of course there is life out there in the universe" (as much as I too would like to share in this sentiment) may be an anthropomorphic projection and wishful thinking.

One thing we are able to estimate is the number of stars in the observable universe -- that collection of stars in causal contact with us. It is far from infinite. In fact, not that much larger than the number of atoms in a macroscopic chunk of matter. The number of possible games of chess is incomparably vaster.

This is not to say that we should not look for traces of life. That is a completely separate question.
With a better chip this should be totally doable. It would achieve the desired result of being able to play on your hardware of choice (the original gameboy), but at the expense of it not being a "true" gameboy hardware ran game, but rather an entirely emulated game.

There was a point in my life about 10 years ago while I was still in Portugal that I realized a lot of people around me were doing coke. That was a sad sad day for me.

People are so empty on the inside that they choose to drink, snort, smoke and inject poison in their veins just to numb and erase their own self.

I've always been very progressive and I grew up in a culture where drugs and alcohol were always "cool". I was never stupid enough to partake in the hard stuff but I drank and smoked enough weed for 10 lifetimes.

There is nothing cool about drugs, nothing. If you need drugs it's because you are lacking something inside you or you have many many demons.

Wholesome people don't do drugs. Took me 1/4 of a life to figure this one out.
