Performing artists have for centuries had to balance catering for popular opinion and tastes versus a more faithful realisation of their vision in order to make a living. I don't see a difference with this at all.
Imperative is good (perhaps even better) on a local, small scope.

It is terrible on a system level with concurrent execution, there you really need all the safe guards.

Experience: 6 years

Looking for a new challenge! Used to high pace environment.
I love building, learning, optimizing, improving systems (especially high-load, low-latency), and helping other engineers.
Also speak German & Spanish.
There will be one in 2023 also :)
Oops, yeah that makes more sense :)
Adding features to languages by anyone but the language designer doesn't work. It's unsupported, it affects too many other parts of the stack and leads to incredibly hard to spot bugs. You, or any project, can't do this.

Also: doing this means as soon as you start using predictable finalisation to close DB connections, or anything, your code stops being C# code. It can no longer be used except in a highly nontrivial environment. It depends, in an undeclared manner, on a nonstandard runtime.

So for open source code, or anything you're hoping to reuse: please don't do this.

If you want this, switch to C++, Swift or Rust, or some other language that has it built in.
Oh yeah. I have been producing content full-time on YouTube for nearly 7 years. I have two NASes, each with ten 18TB HDDs and an SSD cache, plus a separate all-SSD DAS that has ten 4TB TLC NVMe SSDs. Video storage is a significant cost that people frequently overlook.

And we edit on two M1 Ultra Mac Studios, as well as M1 Max MacBook Pros, all fully-optioned.

People vastly underestimate the time and expense involved with “just posting videos to YouTube.”

(If it’s such easy money, why aren’t they doing it…)
It has a little bit more options than greg, but I don't see its use-cases yet.
Pharma profits so far could pay for research thousand years into the future.
I would have never expected a tank training manual to have so many naked breasts. Otoh given the audience at the time were young men in their prime this method of stimulating the reader is kind of obvious.
I think this is confusing different levels of abstraction. It's certainly true that more or less any system can be turned into a sequence of 'procedure calls' with appropriate arguments and return values. You can make the equivalent argument that OO is just the same as structured programming, or that functional programming is just a form of assembly language.

There's a sense in which it's correct (i.e. that it's possible to implement one with the other), but it's definitely not the right way to think about it.

REST is about working with state objects that live on other servers. RPC is about getting other servers to do actions. They're different ways of thinking and coding, despite the fact that yes, you can wrap an action up in some state, or that most actions will be modifying remote state.
The fact that Safari isn't an option makes this poll completely useless. It is used significantly more than devs realise, and is a massively important target.

Edit 1hr later: Safari has been added
>Northeast Asia into the Americas.

Not only Northeast Asia. Africans migrated to the Americas directly via the Atlantic and indirectly via the Pacific long before Columbus.
Yeah and a supermarket has to pay electricity and fridge repairs, but you don't see line items for these on your grocery receipt. Banks are massively profitable businesses and we still accept them externalising more and more costs to consumers over time.
Forgive me if I don't understand, but I don't think there's a problem with multiple companies using the same common noun as the base for their domain.

Let the best product be remembered for the name.
I do like the optimistic worldview of execs being like "version 2?! version 2 sucks!! I want version 3, of that thing you just said"
> is an illustration of my point: the language itself isn't powerful enough to do the job so you rely on a lot of libraries written in different languages to glue it all together.

The language is 100% capable. Matplotlib's API is horrible and confusing because one of their design goals was/is to be similar to matlab (that's where the "mat" in it's name comes from) to allow people who are comfortable with matlab to switch more easily.

Matlab's plotting facilities are a mess of global state, so matplotlib has copied it.

> An 'elegant' language would provide a way to do so without all of these leaky abstractions.

It would have to do something else, first: Exist.

In 10+ years of programming, I've yet to ever see a implementation of a complex abstraction that was comprehensive and complete enough that I didn't find a corner case requiring me to reach through it and deal with platform specific something-or-other.
Using it gave me this

Burden of proof is stupid if the only argument for the other is being the status quo.
How large an attack? How many nukes and what yield and where? Few of them could be deliberately high enough in the atmospheric to annihilate country wide electronics. Think one Tsar bomba in the stratosphere right in the center of America. That being said, American banks are a global animal. Some of them could have off-site in Switzerland for all you know.
I'm working on a 2D top-down time attack skill based spaceship racing game.

I plan to release it on Steam and Google Play Store this year.

I'm the solodev making the Game, Game Server, as well as various integrations to external systems
The unreal part is there being only two options. Most dichotomies are false.
The flat part. Developers are binary
Cork trees are an exception to this, and are harvested all the way round without harming the tree.
I mean, OOP is still a very great model for plenty of programs.
Exactly. My bet is it's simple greed, and that it shuts enough people (and revenue) out to make Google a pretty penny.

Likely it was a decision based on analytics that Google, and no one else, has.

Imagine we are talking a cable TV platform instead, and your analytics show that most people flip through channels most of the time, as opposed to actually watching something specific. You make a rule to only share revenue with channels if the viewer is engaged longer than 120 seconds. People are still watching TV, you are still monetizing, but the channels aren't getting fully paid and only you know the money involved.

Making people feel they need to earn the right that their earnings be shared with them is just icing on the cake.

Last Side Project: https://enjamon.com/ (this has been shelved over a year ago / is running on lambda for cost reduction so expect it to be a little slow!)

Full Stack Software engineer for over a decade. I mostly work with startups with multiple hats on (backend / frontend / aws infrastructure). Prior to that was focused on fin-tech (FX, FI and structured products).

Previous projects I worked on in the last few years:

- agreewe (still in closed beta): A web 3.0 company around smart contracts and a modular legal agreement system (can't really provide more detail till they launch)

- marta.de: A startup focused around matching caregivers to those in need (based in Germany and east europe)

- backboneplm: A startup (in production for years) that I helped simplify their AWS deployment / infrastructure via terraform and optimised their tooling / codebase to improve the day to day life of developers / QA / release cycles.

- enjamon.com: A personal project around building an audio book reader app using an audio engine that allows for experiences to be interactive. Both the studio and player (shelved for now since it's a huge project and I needed to free up some time).

- emso: A london based hedge fund where we rebuilt their inhouse solution using react and redux

- deepstreamHub: My own startup where we hosted realtime servers that provided data-sync and pub/sub in multiple different countries.

Looking for something ideally part-time.
At least they kept the old version and thus didn't screw up others.
A legendary animator and director, both who helped found Pixar with Jobs, aren't credible because they became so successful that they're now millionaire executives?
Hope-wise, better ontology than oncology, in any case.
Depends on how much of Jobs' current reputation is accurate vs. mythologising.
He never worked in Apple, no?
So, India inherited the British civil services system wholesale. The formal pseudo legal language used in the system, instituted by the British, continued. It was different enough from the language taught in schools that when someone was exposed to it or had to use it tried to conform to it's idiosyncrasies.

Over time, isolated from the cultural changes happening to the English world, it developed in it's own way. Like the albino and blind animals evolved in the seclusion of an isolated cave system.

Today, the best way to observe this secluded language branch is to read official Indian government announcements.

It has started to meld back into the main branch [0][1] as younger and younger, more exposed to the global English culture, take over responsibilities.

Hi. I think this is an exciting development. It will be much work to replicate all dotnet standard libraries. Is there anything existing that can be ported/reused? For instance the original work on mono? Or is any of microsoft’s work licenced permissible enough to use?
It was a pretty easy sell for us because Django ended Python 2 support in 1.11 So in reality the conversation actually went more like "hey you know the web framework we use for all of our services. yeah, that will be stuck at the same version for forever with no security releases and unable to use any new integrations unless you devote 2 engineers for 3 months and take the medicine now instead of digger a deeper hole"

But it was a lot easier for the CEO to digest `2 -> 3` as a clear path to the future as opposed to switching to a new language.
They should have made the Python 3 interpreter able to embed the Python 2 interpreter. It would’ve then been possible to mark projects as 3 while they continue to import 2 libraries.
We probably shouldn’t have constexpr conditional operator
Haskell does, and you get decent type-level arithmetic with a compiler plugin.
Yes, in the cyber security domain. Took about a month of part time work (45 hours?).
Led to conference talks internationally, attention from the press, external vendors who were impacted. I'd say it was worth it because I had a respected platform to launch the paper from. Without that it would have been a waste of time.
But if you agree on a certain formatting tool anyway, then you don't need significant whitespace to get that. That's one of the things I like most about Go. It shipped with gofmt from day one, so literally no one ever argues about coding style.
Thank you, will look at these.
So what is your suggestion then, to punish the poor some more? Is there not enough homeless on the streets of San Francisco for you? Are the slums of Bombay too small in scope?

As I said in the comment it would be very difficult or perhaps impossible to achieve and the dangers are high (you don’t want a USSR situation happening). You might even need coordinated effort across multiple governments and there is evidence that this is kind of happening with the move towards a global 15% tax rate on corporate business.

At the end of the day, steps need to be taken to tax capital at the same rate or higher than labour. Until that happens inequality will continue to grow. As the scales have been out of balance for so long I don’t think having capital gains and other taxes at parity with or a couple of percentage points above income tax is really going to cut it. A couple of short, sharp years at 90% and all of it invested into major, physical public infrastructure projects to create jobs and filter the money down. Whatever happens, if we continue allowing wealth to concentrate in fewer and fewer hands we are going to end up with a dangerous situation.

And the problem is that it is being framed as “punishment” in the first place rather than as an opportunity to be the actual hero and save your country and fellow citizens from being thrown to the dogs. Once upon a time men used to follow leaders into battle because they had faith in them as leaders. Would we do the same today? Probably not because they’re not acting like leaders, they’re acting like arseholes who would rather get in pissing contests over the length of their super yacht than invest in making their cities and countries a better place.
Because it's stateful. And a JSON-RPC call is not guaranteed to get something in return. When abstracted with timeouts and callbacks it works nice though.
The big advantage is that it can run via any transport protocol, while compared to HTTP you have the transport protocol built in.
I addressed why the hypothetical is limited to two options, and taking a subset of plausible scenarios does not reduce the plausibility of the selected scenarios.
Being asked whether you want to pay with credit or debit when you are trying to pay with a debit card is one of those culture shock moments every time I visit the USA and I ask myself "how could it not know?"
What prevents you from making specific calls idempotent? You can even specify it via a POST/PUT method in any sort of RPC call to make HTTP proxies (or automatic resubmitters) aware of this detail.

Idempotency is not exclusive to REST. When you invoke File-Save twice in Notepad it doesn’t create two different files either.
It's not that the things you say can't be done. Of course they can.

But simply buying a product takes a lot of effort away. I've used XMPP messengers and it worked. But I'm a tech savy person. If you have colleagues who aren't then you need someone to support them in installing the client, setting up everything, etc.

With solutions like Slack there is a lot less friction. People know how to use it in a browser. People know how to install the client.

You pay for the convenience of the product, no necessarily for the features themselves.
>has a selection of beers and wines and hard kombucha for us, but never any weed even if its legal for all of us, a few of us do use it

Do you expect them to have a selection of cigars and cigarettes too?
> It’s a little late to bring it up now, but a good rule of thumb to keep in mind is that you shouldn’t buy a computer unless you know of at least two things that you can use it for BEFORE you buy it.

I guess this should also be a question to ask anybody looking to buy a high end computer today: "Sir, before you buy this, please name two uses of this computer which cannot be done by a $400 PC."

PS: I am joking.
That's Dreamworks, not Pixar, but nice reference
Dragonflies have very different wing muscles in comparison with almost all other 4 winged insects, which allow them to move each wing independently and with great precision.

Except for dragonflies, all the other insects which are agile fliers achieve their agility by using only 2 wings, because 4 wings that are not exquisitely controlled are a hindrance, not an asset. This is done by either not using one wing pair for flying, as in flies, or by having a mechanical linkage between the 2 wing pairs, making them work like a single pair, as in wasps or hawk moths.

While most flies are no match for a dragonfly, there is a fly family, the robber flies, which look like dragonflies with 2 wings (i.e. they have big heads with big eyes and a long narrow body, though not as long and narrow as most of the less stocky dragonflies). The robber flies routinely eat dragonflies, catching them easily during the flight.
Simple solution is to ban tabs from source-code using the compiler
It's a great point that the cannabinoid ratio has a dramatic effect on the high. Ever since high CBD:THC oils became available in cartridge form, I personally switched ratios in the 15-25:1 range. This is like 2% THC, but likewise I find I get all the benefits of smoking "regular" weed or high potency carts without feeling uncomfortably high or anxious at any point. You can "sip" it. I think finding your preference along this product dimension will definitely become more of a thing, because the difference is real. And while I don't have a favorite terpene or anything, more differentiation there feels plausible too.

That said, I still think the big difference between coffee/wine and weed is that finding your optimal drug dosage is a fundamentally different human experience to tasting food and drink. Imagine if all alcohol tasted the same and the only differentiator was the exact type of drunk it made you. It's hard to imagine the same sort of culture emerging, where people are flying to foreign countries to taste wine or lining up outside their favorite brewery for new beers. Flavors are subjective, same as drug effects, but they are also sharable. You can hand someone a glass of wine and ask what they think. You can't hand someone your sense of reality and ask them if they are tripping out in the same way.

Tobacco really is a great comparison, eg. cigarettes likewise claim to compete on taste/subjective factors like "smoothness", but in reality nobody is hunting down 2012 Vintage Marlboros. Maybe an analogy to the high end cigar market could emerge? A product variant intended for less habitual, slower but more refined enjoyment?
> SCC is so unrelated to anything even being remotely

Let's assume we make a remote call with a list of VM instructions for a virtual machine which has no access to any I/O. Now we only need to prove the correctness of the answer. Whatever you do on the remote side, you won't be able to make your computation impure. Yes, you still may write logs or sleep but it won't break referential transparency, there will be no way to return two different accepted results for the same inputs.

You may even have I/O in some very limited form.

You don't have to supply the code.

If you don't agree, show me side effects in EVM.

> In the context of your sentence hope and expect are synonymous

Only in your eyes.

Anyway, I've been saying that REST is too unformal and weak-typed.

The books are actually clearly written. They also have some humor in them. The horror.
I agree with what you're saying, and it's of course entirely your call to make.

However, given that a significant percentage of developers are on Macs, this makes bflat a non-option for a large number of use cases. Even if I'm writing a library (and not an app or a service), I can't pick bflat because sooner or later someone will want to target Macs and iOS.

Also, will .Net V8 NativeAOT being able to target Apple Silicon help with the effort?
Maybe it has? Please refer me so something better in the domain of consumer tech.
C++ templates (of all things) can do this. This is one reason so many C++ replacements fail. Numbers in templates can be key for performance.

Why wouldn't I be glad for something that I thought was worth it? Not really sure what you're trying to say.
On .NET Framework you surely depend on OS integration, that is one of the major design changes in .NET Core.

Starting with Java 9, finally the long deprecated APIs started to be removed.

In any case, the issue is that we are forced to write C# 7 and Java 8 code.

Some well known examples, Sitecore, SharePoint WebParts, SQL Server SP extensions, Dynamics, Office AddIns, VS plugins, Solr extensions (many places keep using Solr on Java 8 even if more recent versions exist), Android (unless one goes Kotlin or targets version 12), Forms and WPF 3rd party components (the versions on .NET Core are incompatible due to new designer)...
I have kind of set that rule for myself. I'm not going to buy a 3D printer until I have 10 projects ready to print.

I'm still thinking about the first.

Can you actually monetize this when you don't own the music?
Is nobody else surprised the amount is so low? If you look at his video catalogue, basically every video is a "hit" even if upload frequency is relatively low. Youtubers making 20 videos a month with <1M views/video make considerably more money, i.e., is better to upload less quality videos and have "moderate" views that to make high quality infrequent videos with a lot of views. You'd think advertisers should pay more per ad on a high quality video than on a trash one. The extreme example of this is Mr. Beast, who makes "high" quality videos (at least in the sense of production) but uploads pretty frequently (specially considering he has multiple channels).
Ha ha, well that was almost the CEOs verbatim reaction at a multi-billion dollar company. It helps if you are a financial services company and also add on "and if we dont do it, our web frameworks will reach EOL and have no more security updates"
I'm eyeballing a property on a slight slope and thought about cutting a trench alongside the driveway to act as a guide in which to lower a garbage trolley on a cable. One concern is maintenance and debris getting in the track. Anyone seen/done anything like that?
Whatever you use please make sure it isn't chromium based. Chrome monopoly is a real threat for the freedom of web.
These might be better as gists that can be brought into a project as subtrees. Your list of countries might have some political problems tainting your repo for universal acceptance. But, those cases probably overlap with local data considerations about where your database servers are allowed to be located, so some deployments might have conflicting “only gonna need one of these” tables.

Examples:

Existence of disputed zones

GIS shapes of borders and control

Year of founding

Maybe there are problematic color names
I finally started working on GigTablet, a resource for gigging bands. I use MainStage for notes but it has no tablet version and therefore requires a laptop mirrored to an ipad to be useful when I’m gigging. Features will include: web-based, song notes/images, gig scheduling, setlist creation, simple mobile UI, master controls so one band member can select the next song and all tablets will update, etc.
Same here in Australian country towns. Here the post office (which is often now actually an agency within a general store or the like) are setup to do the normal cheque, passbook and cash transactions that people previously expected a bank branch to fulfil.
