Hypocritical that you got downvoted when the same people downvoting are probably downright gleeful at automating everything else. :)
In practice, using common programming languages as source should offer the important shortcut of adopting existing good, ready-made parsers and AST manipulation libraries because other compilers, linting tools etc. already developed them.
That works if you are experienced in architecting these things. As with anything, if you're already pretty close in structure, you won't have as many problems adapting the PoC to the final form. If you were further away that you thought you'll end up with a bunch of inelegant hacks to reach the working state.

The real problem is getting to the point where the initial solution you imagine is close to the initial PoC.
Coming from a Go background I found it quite easy to use Zig, as the language is small and you can be proficient in few days.

Of course you have more to handle by yourself in Zig. For example a simple string concatenation will need more work as there is no implicit heap allocation.

For interoperability with Go it's quite the same than C<>Go through Cgo: doable but not ideal.

However the Zig toolchain can be used to improve the build system of Go projects with Cgo dependancies. That's what Uber is doing https://jakstys.lt/2022/how-uber-uses-zig/

Tangential. Many think bitcoin is useless and i understand the debate, it clearly has it's legitimacy but "hey, wait a minute" was i thinking the other day, Ive personally used bitcoin to pay for things and I love it a lot more than my banking system. The user experience is just better Ive found. For example, it takes days to wire money or get money for me. Also in France they pushed KYC to a degree its ridiculous. Here you got to fill a full A4 form to move 3000+€ which is ridiculous because the rich and powerful certainly dont do that. I understand KYC protect me and but its not well implemented imo. So in short it's kind of simple: some of us use bitcoin for its UX really.
A job should be what enables you to do those things in life which are important to you, not be what is important in your life. Which is not to say a job should not or can not be important, just that if you try and derive your meaning in life from your job you likely will never be happy. So those nurses and doctors do something important, after work they go out and bitch about how it is all meaningless because no matter how much they try and help people those people largely ignore the doctors and nurses and do nothing to actually improve their health beyond going to the hospital when they have no other choice.

So you sit in front of a screen for money, will your life be more meaningful if you stopped doing things for money? Tell your family they are going to have to do without money because you need more meaning in your life, I am sure they will understand. If you can not find meaning outside of your job what makes you think you can find meaning through a job?

At recent US gas prices, 10,000 miles at 25 mpg costs less than $1600 in gas. At 50 mpg it's gonna be less than $800.

Most of the people spending $30,000+ on a new vehicle aren't going to be concerned about that difference, they are going to buy what they want based on other factors.

Information decay has started around the year 2000. I'm not a Hipster, I have experienced the internet pre 2000, which was an semi exclusive club for educated and intelligent people with accurate search results.

No, you are not cynical, you are spot on. Crypto gains are worth nothing until you change it into currency. The same is true for stock gains.

Crypto gains only were people imagining money into existence. This is the problem of going off the gold standard.
Not necessarily. It sounded to me like they were dismissing the idea that there was anything to that original value. That there's nothing "lost" because there just doesn't exist $70bn of demand for BTC, it could never be realised
No, you are wrong.

That's why I wrote non-tech companies in parenthesis.

For a tech company, you can sell codegen software where the customers solely determine value.

You can sell another tech company Blockchain Snake Oil and make money off of it.

My work was not such a case. End users, consumers saw real value which made their lives better in a small way, and help save our coustomer, a business- save millions of dollars.

I really care about my work, and rejected many offers where I could have made more money working on snake oil recipe.
The article agrees with you

> The movement of cryptocurrency prices is quite closely correlated to U.S. stock markets, in particular the tech-heavy Nasdaq

This is bad for crypto.

In order to be a good hedge, the price movement of Bitcoin should not follow stock markets like this.
I think they are arguing that the market cap is a fantasy number anyway. It went down by a theoretical $70 billion, but that number (and the market cap) is meaningless because it's not possible to convert large amounts of BTC to fiat without collapsing the market, assuming the exchanges will let you and that they have the fiat reserves to do so, which is highly doubtful.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if they had actually done that.

When the depositors all came asking for their money, Silvergate Bank would have replied: “So, we wired your 11 billion dollars to an unaudited corporation in the Bahamas. No worries, they gave us a cryptographic receipt for 11 billion virtual magic beans! I’m sure we can redeem those for you guys. Hold on, we’ll call their CEO, the man who used to produce Inspector Gadget cartoons in the 1980s… Oh, he doesn’t answer his phone? Telegram group message I guess…”

We are not building things for the technology sake. The user comes first, usability and accessibility is paramount. That's where we work around. History has shown is that it's easier to teach the browser new tricks than to make native easier to use. I want to:

Having an API for this is, a bit counterintuitively, good for people who don't like transitions: it means building an extension that turns them off is easy. If websites are implementing transition animations on top of other browser features it's very hard for an extension to recognize them, but not if there's a standard API.
My favorite part about Bitcoin is the foaming at the mouth that occurs whenever you talk to someone who is anti-crypto. It has little to do with the actual technology and everything to do with the need to be correct about its downfall.

The father of a childhood friend of mine was chief counsel during a previous Lexmark supreme court visit (the Static Controls case, I think?).

As an aside, in the UK and EU you also can't discriminate based on age, but that means that you can't do anything based on length of service. For example, it is illegal to place a job advert requiring "x years of experience in z" because that requires you to be a certain age.
> There is so much wrong with JS, the only reason it is used is because people are literally forced to.

There are perhaps at least a hundred (when not hundreds of) compile-to-js languages, yet people still use it. Even in back-end!

> It took a long time for js devs to accept the notion of a compiler

People who write programs in JS cannot be so easily grouped together, I think. There's this eternal September of bootcamp devs writing... interesting... code as we all did when we first started, but I personally went first with C, Perl, then PHP, then JS, then .NET, then Python and now continue mostly in TS and Java. Among them TS is the one I like the most (and the ones starting with P are the ones I dislike the most - not that it matters, use whatever works for you).
I use B2 and Wasabi because I don't like relying on a single cloud provider. Files are uploaded to both. OpenResty (Nginx+Lua) sits in front to provide caching, and the logic for deciding which provider to pull from.

Wasabi gives you a free bandwidth allowance equal to the number of bytes stored per month. When I use up most of that, I start pulling from B2. And of course, if one of them is down, I pull from the other.

It's more time up front to build instead of just relying completely on GCP/Azure/AWS. But I don't have to worry as much about spontaneous account terminations destroying my business.

i wonder if these buyouts are more or less expensive than severance packages.

If you know your severance would be higher than the buyout, why would you accept? If the buyout is higher than severance, then the company is "losing" money doing the buyout isn't it? I suppose keeping good reputation/PR is worth something...
a 400 month customer is really a tiny fish, don't expect special treatment without support packages. Do you even have an enterprise contract with them? The bronze contract can be had from 0 spend, and gives the option to pay through invoicing and have support. Or are you just going through credit card which is intended for hobby use?

I am not defending them, but this is totally on you.
What was the missing information? Lack of identity verification or credit card verification? Again that's on you. You should have also received a warning in the cloud console and if you hvae the cloud app on your phone, there as well.

Yup but I would never give Microsoft that much power again. They already have too much, and they're abusing it.
I don't think most people think it's useless. It's more that it's value is heavily overinflated for its market, by hype and cryptobros.
The crypto market cap is about 1 trillion USD. Now suppose all current crypto holders want to exchange their crypto for dollars. How many dollars do they get, collectively? The market cap is 1 trillion, but for them to get dollars somebody else has to put up those dollars in exchange for the crypto. And that's a problem, because everybody who thinks crypto is a good idea is already in crypto, which means there is no sizable group of people to sell into.

If all current Apple shareholders decide to get rid of Apple an inflow of 2.5 trillion is needed. The new group of shareholders will like Apple less than the current group of shareholders, so the stock would get sold at a slight discount (10% maybe). The universe of investors who are willing to buy Apple shares at a discount is enormous, so it's fine.

With crypto, not so much. The first 100bn you might be able to sell to people at a reasonable discount, but then you're out of buyers for sure. So who are the holders of the remaining 900bn worth of crypto going to sell to? How big of a discount do they need to offer to get the dollars they want? 30%? 60%? 99%?

With crypto the market cap is an illusion because when people sell crypto en masse the price will trend towards the intrinsic value (which is zero). That's what the parent means with "The money is not there. Some folks will lose. Everyone knows it."

> People are fleeing stocks (including cryptocurrencies) to hold USD.

This is a really wild thought in a high inflation environment. Not that I disagree. Equities can lose dollar value on top of the dollar itself losing value. Some portion of it has to be going back to risk-off assets that were not worthwhile in a zero-rate environment.
> but were hoping to leave this would be a major downer.

it would suck. But it also means that you are needed, and thus, would be in a position to demand a pay rise (or leave, which you were already hoping to do right?).
AI’s potential pitfalls are becoming clear, with worries growing over job losses and privacy concerns; the world can add environmental damage to the list.
The reason most Westerners have only two kids is because they don't have a social support group which can take turns raising the extra children. The practical limit for a two-parent household is two kids if they are of a similar age and one partner is taking care of the kids full time. Beyond two kids you're pretty much going to start having to neglect someone some of the time simply because each kid demands so much attention and there is a limit to how much time you have preparing things for them and mitigating disasters. For three or more kids to work generally you need a stronger family support network which is able and willing to devote time to taking care of your children.
> Perhaps. Certainly if you put me in front of the two trees I wouldn't be able to tell you which was which. But that's a different question than whether I can tell the difference. If you put me in front of a pine and a fir I couldn't tell you which was which, but it wouldn't be at all difficult to tell the difference.

No, I mean you couldn't tell the difference, other than it being a different tree. If you had a bunch of trees from 100,000 years ago and a bunch from today, you would not be able to sort them.

It's not that myth at all, and has nothing to do with it.

> Not relevant. It also isn't difficult to tell the difference between two populations that were divided by a barrier 100 years ago. Things drift.

The point is that there was no barrier. Most things don't drift very fast at all. Most species in an old ecosystem could have evolved more than a million years ago and had little change since then.

There are species that have existed for millions of years, you do accept that at least?

The narrative that tax payers essentially gifted money to the big bad banks and evil investors is plain wrong.
