fwiw, the team that created Matrix almost exclusively used Java serverside from 2003-2014 (when we switched to creating Matrix). The last gen of Java servers we wrote were super efficient and nice to maintain thanks to netty.

The only reason we switched to Python and Twisted for the first gen Matrix server (synapse) was for rapid prototyping using a platform that we reasoned the open source and selfhosting community would already have installed and be comfortable with. Java felt way too enterprisey and non-open-source-friendly, making quick tweaks to the codebase a huge pain, not to mention the verbosity of the language. The team agreed that expecting casual folks to install and use a JVM just for a chat server would be a major turn-off, and we continue to feel that was the right call.

Alright, in the interests of educating I would point out that the US financed and fomented a coup in Ukraine in 2014 to install a pro-US government, which then lead to the Constitution of Ukraine being rewritten so that NATO membership was back on the board.

That's a pretty big fucking change. Imagine Mexico or Canada suddenly having a pro-Chinese government installed and the CCCP forming a military alliance with them. You think the US might see that as a threat? Oh but this is different because the US can be trusted not to interfere abroad lol..

Meanwhile, the people in Crimea and the Donbass region being heavily Russian did not want any part of that CIA-backed Western interventionism that we've used to destroy vast parts of the world. Crimeans then voted to be annexed to Russia while Donetsk and Luhansk tried to break away as independent of Ukraine. The people in these regions DO NOT want to be a US puppet and that shouldn't be hard for us to understand considering our track record. Not that Russia's track record is much better, but at least they associate themselves with Russia. Better the devil you know as they say.

So then the US-backed government in Kiev who has been at war with their own citizens in Donbass and killing them for 8 years decided to cut off the water to Crimea and run their reservoirs dry, leading up to the invasion last year.

Remember this next time you hear our fucking talking heads on CNN & FOX News parrot the same "totally unprovoked invasion" talking point.
Perhaps it's not fair to blame the language, but the javax -> jakarta EE transition and Oracles license changes have broken a lot of faith in stability that must be frustrating as a language researcher with that goal.
Carbon is such a werid choice. I don't see anyone in their right mind using Carbon for anything meaningful for a lot of reason. As others mentioned, it's really incomplete and you cannot trust google to not kill it out of nowhere.

I don't know what OPs project looks like, but in our company the choice has a clear path:
- performance/low level: Rust, Cpp

- CPU/memory is not the bottleneck and I don't need much concurrency / it's data science, machine learning, ETL ... : Python

- concurrency is key, highly distributed system: elixir, golang, erlang

- programming based on mathematical models: Haskell
I was just talking about this with my coworkers. Another big anti-aging trend among the wealthy is intravenous NAD treatments ($800/session). Apparently people who do so feel wonderful afterwards.

I am the Rosenpass author; Rosenpass is an add-on to make WireGuard even more secure. There are certain types of attacks (i.e. those from quantum computers) that could become possible to perform for governments and very large organizations.

To protect the infrastructure of smaller companies and to protect the data of private WireGuard users, Rosenpass makes WireGuard immune against these potential attacks from states and large organization.
Very inventive, electronics makes things so much easier. It reminds me of the high speed mechanical cameras used in the 1950s Atomic tests that can take 200K - 10M images per second (although not for very long).

Could not stress this point more. OP's therapist should be all over these issues, offering different tools, strategies, frameworks, etc. Good therapy actively solves problems. If your therapist is not doing this, fire them immediately and get a new one. Look for a cognitive behavioral therapist.

> For JavaScript based projects

This is viable for personal projects and things that exist in a vacuum.

Suppose you hit a performance bottleneck with your backend and want to migrate to Go

Or, if you want talk to your JavaScript background from a native mobile client. Or if another team or customer wants access to the API and not using JavaScript.

gRPC solved this problem by having Protobuf as the many-to-many translation layer. Client stubs and backend service stubs in a variety of languages are autogenerated. Telefunc is a subset of this wherein you define the Interface in TypeScript instead of protobuf. With gRPC you also get a binary encoding over the wire. Maybe the effort of the project could have been building on top of gRPC (which is not necessarily coupled to protobuf) and adding automatic codegen tooling for JavaScript.
I completely disagree with what you’re saying btw. I can just picture us 30 years from now: every time you’ll see art you’ll see a lot of AI-assisted stuff which will make you doubt everything you’ll see. There won’t be any “famous” painter anymore. The same way “famous photographers” aren’t really a thing anymore due to how good photography and editing software has become.
English doesn't do that badly here. German and some other European languages use the same word for a 100 metre wide lake as for a sea stretching a thousand kilometers, like the North Sea.
Hmm, but how do they make sure the strobe is strobing at the right frequency?
I disagree, but even if I let you have that point, what about Cariou v. Prince? If taking a photograph of someone else’s photograph is legally considered a novel work, then how does AI differ?

> As far as I understand the backslash is a mark of a variable. The problem that it looks like the escape symbol and this is really confusing.

No, it is the escape symbol and works just like the escape symbol because it is the escape symbol.

The escape symbol \ means that whatever follows should not be treated literally but interpreted in some special way. So "\n" means "not the letter n but rather a newline", and "\u1234" means "not the letter u followed by the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, but rather the unicode character U+1234". And in exactly the same way, "\{...}" means "not the opening curly brace followed by some stuff and then a closing curly brace, but rather special semantics for the expression (not variable) within the curly braces".

> Of course, $ is ideal because it's already everywhere and familiar.

It is already everywhere, including in existing Java strings in existing Java code, and the semantics of that existing code must not change. The very fact that it is already everywhere means that it is not ideal in the context of retrofitting this feature onto Java.

I "love" the toxic parent relationship, because that is the kind relationship that you are most used to and for you (and me) it makes it feel normal. You get used to it and when other people treat you the same way, you don't even realize that you should set boundaries or put a stop to it.

One thing I don’t see people discussing here is that API calls often have consequences. Like, if you make a call in your trial-and-error process that inserts a row in some database, and that’s about it, it’s not a really big deal.

But I’m thinking of:

1. How badly secured many real-world APIs are and how many API keys are out there to be scraped

2. Some APIs offer truly destructive or otherwise irreversible actions.

Suppose for one second there was a poorly secured API to control medication dosages. Or to deliver a lethal injection to a death row prison inmate. Or to detonate a building scheduled for demolition. Or, …
AFAIK, it is non-Newtonian allright:

I have a similar memorable story from O’Brien water sports. We had a set of kids’ water skis where we’d lost one of the thumbscrew bolts to keep them connected while young kids are learning (100% our fault, 0% theirs).

I wrote the company to ask where I could buy a replacement. The agent sent me a mail with a picture asking me to confirm that was the part I was talking about, mailed a replacement strap and two thumbscrews for free, and emailed a few days later to check that it arrived in time for our lake vacation.

It made such an impression that O’Brien is my default/check-them-first brand.

Ask HN: Science fiction movies that are appropriate for 12 year olds?
So, my older son is almost 12, and while he reads a good amount of science fiction (Three-Body Problem, Asimov, Project Hail Mary etc.) - he does not enjoy Science Fiction movies as much.

He found 2001: space odyssey kind of slow and tedious, and I have not introduced him to The Matrix etc., as I think it has some strong adult language and themes.

However, I would like him to be introduced to a world of movies beyond Star Wars and the Marvel Universe. What are some well-made science fiction movies appropriate for 12-year-olds?
Yeah this is what I meant. The job will become much more tool-assisted which will lower the barrier for entry and we then won’t celebrate “artists” like we used to

I've been interested in Asahi since I first saw it here, but I can't help wondering if long-term the better buy might not be a ThinkPad, Framework or whatever that only ever expected (Windows or) Linux.

Puritans, Pilgrims, Quakers, etc., had huge impacts on the founding of the republic. The fact they opposed feudalism doesn't mean they weren't socially conservative, or align them with the humanist radicals of continental Europe. It's not uncommon for religious fundamentalist movements to be politically radical because they oppose secular power. The Islamists who overthrew the Shah were nonetheless social conservatives.

The masons thing is historical revisionism. Masons included people of different political stripes, including members of the British Monarchy. Edmund Burke was a freemason. Among the founders, some of the most socially radical folks like Jefferson weren't masons.

> The Republican party was religious radicals who either requested or demanded a new way and fought the status quo slavery loving (social conservative) democrats.

It's very odd to acknowledge that people were "religious radicals" but then deny that they were social conservatives. The Confederates certainly saw Republicans that way. They attacked Republicans as religious "zeal[ots]" and portrayed themselves as being on the side of "science": https://www.battlefields.org/learn/primary-sources/cornersto....

Most people of strong personas and characters have ended up there by hitting rock bottom several times and bouncing back several times with more and more resilience each time.

It’s really in these moments that you can define yourself, that you reach out for philosophy and literature and ways to cope and face life.

As they say: life is made of failures, and it’s always about how you bounce back (not how you avoid failing)

The second thing is that life is made of multiple sub lives. Your life as a toddler was nothing like your teenage years, which was nothing like your adult life, which will look nothing like your life as an old person.

Transitioning is always hard, but growing as a person is also about accepting that we are not meant to live the same little cushy and stable life that we got accustomed to for too many years.

Breaking up is one thing, at some point close people to you will die, you will lose some of your physical abilities, etc.

The best thing you can do is find a strong philosophy of life, and not worry too much about what your life was or what your life will be. Just enjoy the moment.

Enjoy your experience as a human being. All of it.

As mentioned here, you will often see historical prices quoted as £x ys zd ... which might lead to the question "why is a penny abbreviated to d"?

In fact, the £ sign is a stylized letter L, and the system is really Lsd: libra (meaning, amongst other things, pound in Latin), solidus, denarius. This is the Carolingian monetary system and, as the name suggests, goes back to the Holy Roman Empire - as early as the 8th century.

That includes the L 1 = 20 s = 240 d ratio that made its way to pre-decimalization British currency.

This actually reads almost normal for a last year of a phd. But you’re in a phd program and probably much closer to complete than you think.

I’d reach out to your professors about your misgivings about your research. Make it clear that you’re looking to complete the thing asap and need guidance.

Forget the outside stuff. Relationships can wait until you’re done. Feeling like a failure or success is almost a worthless concern as you’re clearly nearly done with a huge life goal. A life goal that will change the context of your life ever after. Much more than any marriage could even. Marriages are fundamentally just a societal complication of a relationship - complete with dubious legal consequences and a not a sure thing that can end. (Plus if someone is bailing on you when you’re finishing a degree they definitely weren’t going to be there for you in actually troubling times - like an illness or your house burning down.) But a degree is a hurdle you surpass once and get to wave the success of forever after. (Just don’t be a jerk about it, side point.)

Know that on the other side of your phd is a huge weight off your shoulders regardless of failure or successful defense. This time of strife will end when the phd. Freedom is soon.

Cool! How are you hosting it? Who is paying for all those ffmpeg cpu cycles?
I only have 2 currently at my new job, I have all the logs of services in tmux in 6 to 8 splited panels on 1 screen and IDE on 2nd, I feel as if there is one missing were I can have documentation/wikis/slack/jira etc. I think just using your eyes is faster than managing it on 1 screen but that's just how I'm used to it. Sadly most companies who are not solely into software developing have the same IT setup with 1-2 24 inch screens for the entire company. That's why I'm mostly in home office these days with my 4 screen setup.
I'd agree with some other comments here that you are pretty far away from rock bottom.

Rock bottom is a complete dismantling of your life. Failed relationships (romantic, friendly, professional, etc), lost job, bills piling up, apartment a disaster, inability to build a mental model that can cope with your current situation.

It looks more like you're in a relative minimum. From what I understand about psychology a healthy balanced life generally follows a pattern of building yourself up to a relative maximum, getting something completely wrong that challenges the framework you've built to orient yourself in the world, hitting a relative minimum, and learning to build yourself back up to a new relative maximum.

Consider the alternative, where there are no relative minimums. That would imply you either know everything, in which case your trajectory would be completely flat or ascending indefinitely. Well, that certainly can't be the case because not even the most brilliant people in history knew everything.

There is no advice or shortcut we can give that your therapist hasn't given you. These things take time. There is something about life that you've gotten wrong. This is your opportunity to learn what it is, fix it, build a new mental model, and prepare yourself to not make the same mistakes again.

You're in the fortunate position to have a lot of opportunity. More people are in the dysfunctional family history boat than you think. Sounds like you've done well, despite that.

to stay with the comparison: there is no water.

bullying needs to be addressed differently. but that is not even something i am worried about. simply the inability to participate is already a problem. and it's going to remain a problem for those that can't get those tech gadgets. so what do you propose that we do about this? run a fundraiser and donate iphones to poor kids? legislate that kids have a right to communicate and are thus entitled to get an iphone? force apple to lower their prices?
