Typescript isn't really a class-based language.

It's a language that supports both function and OO paradigms.

Also, if macros/DSLs are what you're after, then you'd probably be interested in typescript's decorators. (you can use the old experimental decorators based on the old standard from ages past, and the new *standard* decorators introduced in typescript 5 which are based on the current stage-3 ecmascript proposal).

The only things typescript as a language is really lacking are:

1. Pattern matching (minor issue)

- +90% of pattern matching is really just a more concise switch/case syntax

- the remaining -10% can be done by hand with mapping or just basic if statements

2. Immutable data-structures (minor issue)

- The `as const` suffix handles most of the use cases.

- There is a Records/Tuples proposal which would give some better syntactic sugar and some run-time performance improvements too.

3. Trait system (minor issue)

- Typescript compiles down to Javascript which at the lowest level is actually a prototype-based language. Traits can be approximated using run-time mixins which alter the prototypes to essentially perform the same functions as traits.

- But, it would be nice to have compile-time rather than run-time support for traits.

- I think most languages are still only coming to terms with the fact that traits are often better than "traditional OOP classes".

4. Effects system (investigate)

- It's too early to tell, but having an effects system (à la OCAML 5) will probably lead to entirely new programming paradigms. I'm not sure where it will lead, but having native algebraic effects to replace try/catch/throw would be very nice.

What is wrong with people who spead fear about "non-osi" license as if that is equal to a proprietary one?

Suppose we talk about "sspl" which a lot of people hate for no reason. Many say "but it is not OSI approved" but I want to ask, does it violate any of the 4 freedoms? If yes then its not a free license, if it does not, then it is not a free license.

Same for your blueoak one, does it violate any of the 4 freedoms?
I saw this filter claim earlier today. What is the source on this?
The Harvard quoted study above looks at children in China in areas with high levels in groundwater .. high being of the order of 3-11 mg/litre.

The correlated 'damage' cited was of less than half an IQ point observed difference at the upper end of the high levels.

The fluoride doses used in water treatment (here in Australia) are at most 1 mg/litre.
Well, that should be easy!

I’m not implying they’re in the same class, I’m saying that the level used is implicitly important in saying whether or not something is toxic. To me it’s not a good faith argument to assume otherwise.

You’re right I was wrong about enrichment [1] - I didn’t know that. It is wide spread, however.

The study you cited seemed to be from areas of naturally occurring high levels. So I guess I should further qualify my statement - I am to mean that it’s non-toxic at the levels used in municipal water and in toothpaste. I thought you were saying there were studies suggesting otherwise at the levels used, which the CDC disagrees with [2]. I’m now rereading your comment where you talk about the levels used so you did address that. Apologies for not better latching onto that. But it did make it sound like these levels in use were potentially toxic, which has been very widely studied across many countries over decades with increasing life expectancy and dental improvements, so it would be very unexpected if so.

It seems that there isn’t a federal requirement for fluoride in municipal water - perhaps there are areas that don’t.

On contrary you should absolutely use errno, if only to report your IO errors.

Or maybe he never does IO. After all a program that doesn't output anything is likely safer, since these are all evil side effects. I can just see that new programming paradigm: "side effect free programming" taking over the world in storm.

Just based on that gaffe I'm not sure I can take anything else in that post seriously. It's clearly not based on any practical experience.
I think the commenter was trying to point out that it seems that the specific case is somehow fictitious when you use an antithesis between specific and general and then relate the general case to the "real world". Or put another way: "real world" is an empty adjective in this statement, unless biology is not part of the real world. This is, of course, unintentional, which is why the commentator says "makes it sound" rather than something along the lines of "claims that".

No idea what is your point.

But that is no different than any other description I've seen. I took the question to be "what does it mean to orient to the observation?"

That is, I suspect the asker wanted specific examples of what that means. I think it is fair to say that people learn in concretes, not in abstractions. Is why so few of us know what a semigroup is, after all.

In the datacenter - absolutely. In a PC, different story. Poor thermals, rough handling and dust are brutal to mechanical parts. Solid state stuff will survive even outside of its typical operating temperature range.
I really think it's more complicated than that.

For sure, there's no legal expectation of support. If you don't support your open-source project, I can't sue you.

But there is a social expectation of support. If the issues page is a ghost town, proposed patches just sit, and there hasn't been a release in years, we call the project "unmaintained" and discourage its use. At that point, if there's interest, somebody can fork it and support the fork, but forking is a serious act: it strongly signals that you don't like the direction that the current maintainer is heading. If that project is truly unmaintained, that's fine, but all-too-many open-source projects end up with rival forks when the original maintainer comes back.

So yeah. There's zero legal expectation of support. But the social expectations are real, and providing a snippet (at least in my mind) has less of an expectation than a library.

I think this makes the error that experience is proportional to time. Some people are just “experiencing” the same problems and attacking them the same ways for years and years and not really building any additional experience beyond the first time they encountered the situation. But maybe that’s why you put experience in quotes.

To claim that dose is the only factor involved is bad faith, or at least overly simplistic. For example, radiation and lead are cumulative. There is no minimum safe dose. Can you say definitively that there is no damage or cumulative effect from regular small dosages of fluoride?

Did you look at the study? The naturally occurring levels are below levels added to water in the US in many of the regions studied.

In any case you should be able to see that I'm not coming at this from some conspiracy nutjob angle but from sourced studies and reasonable thought processes.

My point is not that you are wrong. It's that, even if you are right, it's not some obvious open and shut case.
I won't pretend to know how top tier ML companies hire for research positions, but for literally any other job, the cost of applying is trivial. Throw in some outbound to members on the team for a potential connection and it seems like it's worth the cost for a dream job?

Add to the fact that OpenAI is almost certainly going to be expanding wildly given that they have taken on a 10B investment, it seems like as good as a time as any.

> Single-tasking on important problems

I think the author is right here. Being a professor is more like being a startup founder than being an employee.

> Prestige and money

I don’t think the author touches on some of the most important differences in this section. First, most academic faculty jobs are 9 months. This leaves a lot of time for other endeavors. Professors can make bank doing independent consulting work on the side, which is something frowned upon typically for employees.

The other thing is, there’s a lot of agency as a professor. Your day-to-day are managed by you. If you want to cancel a class, that’s your prerogative. What you teach in the classroom is yours as well, and the content you create (lecture slides, teaching materials, assignments, exams) is owned by you, not the school. Admin sets your teaching schedule but otherwise your days are yours to manage. I work 3 days a week at home. One week I went to a conference in Greece and taught from the hotel.

> Job security

Its true that it’s harder to switch jobs than a tech worker in SF. But at the same time, that every city has an academic sector means you aren’t locked into living in a tech hub.

Also, while most academic roles are hard to come by, CS positions are routinely open; many departments have been hiring continuously for years.

> Freedom

I think academia still comes ahead here. Beyond freedom, even more important is control. The administration can’t yank you off a project. If you change institutions, you can take your project and funding with you. That kind of control can’t be found in corporations.

More worryingly, many tech companies include clauses in their contracts which try to claim intellectual ownership over all ideas generated by their employees, even in their spare time. I don’t know if OpenAI does, but that kind of contract language is toxic to me.

In all, I don’t think the “industry employee”/“academic professor” dichotomy is valid. As I mentioned, the for-profit equivalent of a research lab would be a tech startup. If you don’t think you’d be happy as a startup founder, you won’t be happy as a PI of a research lab. The main allure of going the academic route is that it’s the proven way to work on an idea long term without having to worry about pesky things like profitability and product market fit.

The better comparison is academic research scientist, which is more like a staff role. There, you don’t have the breadth of scope a professor does, but you still get to work on a cool project. You don’t have full control over it, but you also are insulated more from it going sideways.

What I do have is a constitutional right to privacy that does not end where my CPU begins, and an unshakeable resolve wherein I refuse to voluntarily cede that right to privacy just because so many others do.

Anger might help, if channeled properly into lobbying your representatives in Congress. Making up imaginary constitutional rights to a DRM-free PC won't help at all, though. Intel and AMD have the right to shove their spyware into their silicon, just as Microsoft has the right to shove theirs into their OS. You have the right to decline to buy it. Your rights end there, given that nothing they are doing is actually illegal.

That last part could change, which is why I recommend lobbying. It should be completely illegal to use a Wintel PC for a vast number of things that people are currently using them for, from healthcare to government services to military applications. If we can convince Congress of the threat, they can pass legislation that will wreck the business model of anyone who doesn't give the user -- or at least the admin -- control over what information the PC sends out and what it can receive. They will change their tune in a hurry when that happens.

Having a few years of DE experience, I'm thinking about the same thing. I guess it's slightly different from a new graduate, but having some low level projects should help, or at least some higher level C/C++ projects to show competence in the language.

I think an easier maneuver is to find a job that works on developer tools (library, monitoring tools, etc.) that do not necessarily use low level languages, and then gradually move into a low level job. But I have yet to begin to test it.
You're right that the cash compensation is often similar. But estimating the value of options is really hard! One of the better (seed) companies I considered working at was able to tell me what my options would be worth given various exit scenarios. In that particular case the company would have had to exit with a $5B valuation in order to match my FAANG compensation. The company was worth $100M at the time. When I pointed this out, the founders reassured me that they were very confident that their company would exceed that valuation :)
Nix still has issues with things going out of date / falling out of support.

One of the good points about deno raised in the article is that deno removes that problem by having first-party solutions to things that developers usually need built-in.

Also while JS has plenty of footguns, Deno being built around TS and deno ts developers using eslint as a standard practice eliminates those footguns.
> In a multi-repo, you don't build source dependencies between projects.

In my experience with software projects, this is very much not the case. It's one of the main reasons I'm such a big fan of monorepos--I have been burned way too many times by the need to make atomic commits involving separate repositories.
