Kotlin adds Jetbrains only as IDE, additional build plugins, an ecosystem of Kotlin libraries for more idiomatic code, stack traces completly unrelated to Kotlin as JVM only understands Java, and it needs plenty of boilerplate to emulate co-routines and functions in JVM bytecodes.

Other than Android, there are no reasons for additional complexity in development tooling.

A surprising number of non-fiction books these days are unbearable to read since I find the authors often use them as a thinly disguised autobiography masquerading as a book about a specific topic. I recently read an astrophysics book that I was excited to read based on the actual astrophysics topic, but it really was a book about the author's adventures and struggles through grad school and postgrad doing research in the topic of the book. I did not want to read about their "journey" - I didn't care before I started, and I cared even less after reading it. I find this leads to books feeling very fluffy and lacking the subject-matter depth that I wish for.

This isn't just a problem with non-fiction books. I find more often than not in long form journalism lately the writers seem to not be able to resist becoming characters in their own writing. I could have sworn at one point it was considered bad journalistic form to become part of the story versus reporting it. Apparently those days are gone.
So some fruits are also vegetables? That doesn't seem right. I would think they're mutually exclusive because fruit is more precisely defined. If tomato is a fruit, then necessarily it is not a vegetable. It's a simple distinction between the product of a plant (what it produces) and parts of the plant.
I'm really curious why banks like this are popular in the first place. I get why startups would want to lend from them, but what is the advantage of parking cash in a "startup-focused" bank? The rest of the business is exciting/risky enough, wouldn't you want your banking to be as boring as possible?
This is how every bank has always worked since banks were invented

$ clevercli poem "noam chomsky fading into irrelevance"
Noam Chomsky, once a voice so strong,
Now fades into obscurity, his time has gone.
His ideas and theories once brought light,
But now they seem to disappear out of sight.

A pioneer whose words were never dull,
His influence would always make one think full.
But as time goes by, his voice seems to faint,
The world has moved on, his words seem quaint.

Yet his legacy will always remain,
The impact of his ideas will never wane.
For those who listen and deeply care,
Chomsky's wisdom will always be there.

If we're buying in that "by mistake" nonsense we're being so incredibly naive. How can someone even programatically inject referral links in your page "by mistake"?

By way of idle curiosity: the Amazon example on the CleanURLs homepage and in the repo README calls __mk_de_DE=ÅMÅŽÕÑ a tracking parameter. Is it? Or is it a variation of the _utf8=[U+2603 SNOWMAN] technique to force ancient IE to use a reasonable POST encoding[1]?

So climate tech is great and very important (have been in the industry for a long time) - it isn't a huge money maker. Margins are thin - companies are lean and historically you are competing against future cheaper prices (e.g. Solar). It's called the Solar coaster for a reason. Energy Storage assets have a 10 year life and are essentially arbitraging energy demand or providing grid services for the IESO.

Hopefully the IRA can translate into a lot of productive asset growth in North America - at the very least we can translate the GDP / CO2e to be more efficient. It isn't clear that it will be a huge success but it is important goal to pursue.

That said there are many humorless climate zealots out there that are problematic that get in the way of progress.

I have tried it: I wrote multiple Lisp interpreters, including a Scheme in C with garbage collection and basic call/cc. I wrote a simple regex engine in Scheme. I wrote a basic just-in-time transpiler from elisp to Javascript. I dabbled with Common Lisp.

I still don't like it:

- a quality implementation of any Lisp is _not_ easy, e.g. just look at SBCL or Chez Scheme

- minimalistic implementations are a selling point, but I take Lua over any minimalistic Lisp anytime. Chances are that a Lua interpreter library will be smaller. Micropython runs on anything slightly more powerful than Arduino nowadays and gives you objects and async on an effing microcontroller.

- developer experience is miserable/ascetic, even compared to Lua (maybe except Clojure). Things we take for granted (dictionaries/hashmaps/object properties) are still missing from Lisps.

- structural editing is now available for any language that supports a proper language server (which almost any modern language does). s-exprs failed to become a common data language for anything. It's possible to have a simple and humane syntax at the same time (Zig, Go, Lua)

- I've learned to avoid macros and dynamic code generation unless I have a very good reason to use them in any language, otherwise they are a code smell.

It was painful for me to watch the video in the article where the author counts parenthesis and gets the job done in spite of the language, not because of it.

> machine learning is horrible at providing corrective action data

I don’t recognise the truth in what you are writing.

> there are supposed to be 22 pepperonis on the pizza, but only 19 were found

Instance segmentation is a solved problem. A properly constructed and trained neural network can tell you exactly how many pepperonies it sees and exactly where. Telling if that is the right number is a trivial problem from there.

> the diameter of the pizza is out of tolerance by 8mm

Here too, the neural network can recognise the edges of the pizza and then you can fit a shape to it. You can do this second step either with classical algorithms or with a machine learning one. (I would use a classical algorithm if the pizza is meant to be circular or rectangular shaped, and a machine learning algorithm if they are aiming for something weird, like an Italy shaped pizza or something.)

> Machine learning leans towards "it's not a good pizza"

Sounds like you have only heard of simple classifier models.

You make some valid points. I still think after removing the points you mentioned, Scala's spec will still be shorter - but I'm too lazy to do that.

And reasons are for example that the language just has less exceptions. Like the + "operator" which is just a method. And Int just being a datatype - no need to put this in the spec. Or that "int" is not a keyword in Scala - well, I think that is totally a good thing and also comparable, why not?

> Also, the size of the language specification has nothing to do with how easy a feature is to grasp

Sure, but your original claim wasn't just "it's hard to learn Scala" because with that claim I would agree.

> Scala 3 still has ~all the features of Scala 2

Scala 3 has removed a lot of features. In particular powerful features like Scala 2's macros. So what you say is just wrong (the tilde in front of the all really doesn't make it better).

> It also has two separate syntaxes, a Java-like and a Python-like syntax, to add even more confusion and even more things to learn.

That's a valid point, but if this is your level of complaint, then you must hate Java much more than Scala. It has way more warts and confusions than Scala. I know both languages in and out.

> > XML Literals are still supported, but will be dropped in the near future, to be replaced with XML string interpolation[.]

Careful here. XML literals are still supported (even though deprecated), but that is not xml support. XML support has been completely removed from the compiler and is now in a library that needs to be imported. This is different from before, where XML was really built into the language.

In other words: try to use XML without that library and it will simply not compile.
The point is, the extra "protection" is worthless.
Depends if you want to pay for one of the commercial offerings for AOT compilation that have existed for 20 years, or rather go with the free beer offerings from GraalVM and OpenJ9.
Perhaps in a pure market sense, but that's not the world we live in. The government (doesn't really matter where you live) has a vested interest in the status quo and wants people to make long term investments. That is good for both societal stability and for longer term economic growth. Therefore, such a government will support financial institutions in providing long term loans even if that sometimes leads to bank runs. Things like FDIC and related systems in other countries make sure the risk gets smoothed out over all participants in the economy.

My point is that when you take the view from the wider society, the price of long term loans should be (nearly) independent from the chance of bank runs. Those are only a problem for the shareholders of the bank itself, but not to the society it resides in.

I think that many of the most visible parts of the solar value chain (the panels and the installers) are very competitive industries that are going to be poor investments. However, there's always some segment of the value chain that is condensed into a few technologically-advanced and capital-intensive companies. I think we'll see this with solar as well, and there will be trillion-dollar companies that come out of it.
> telling two or more people they own the same dollar

This is the main issue, and it's called a "reserve requirement", which is a percentage of the deposits that the bank must keep on hand to mitigate risk of issues like this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserve_requirement#United_Sta...

In March 2020 the US Federal Reserve lowered it from 8% to 0%, which is where it is today. Just to give you an idea of how the economy works then, let's say you put $100 into your account at Bank A. Company X takes a loan from the bank for $100. Where do they put their money from the loan? Well, they spend most of it but part of it ends up in, let's say, Bank B. Bank B then takes that money and loans it out 100% to Company Y, who spends some of it and also puts some reserve into their bank account in Bank A. Which lends it out 100%.

So this is an over-simplified example but just to give a visual that this is where inflation is coming from. The "government" isn't printing money -- the banks are. It's a deck of cards with no safety net.

Watch the movie "The Big Short" and tell me how this isn't the same situation.

>But I understand how many communities find homosexuality unnatural and wrong. You should respect that and NOT join that community. Just like how Catholics shouldn't enforce their ideas on the rest of the world, you shouldn't enforce yours either.

Catholics do enforce their ideas on the rest of the world, as many Christians in positions of power do. Especially in the US. Especially recently, with the surge of extremist anti-LGBT and anti abortion laws, all predicated philosophically on Christian doctrine. People who find homosexuality unnatural and wrong should not be respected, or simply let be, any more than virulent racists or anti-Semites. Tolerance for the intolerant only leads in the extermination of the tolerant.

> Imagine if you could only get 3-year mortgages, after which the entire cost of the house had to be repaid. That would make home ownership unattainable for the vast majority of the population. Alternatively, if you could not access your savings for 10-30 years after depositing I bet a lot of people would not bother at all.

Adding on...

Balloon mortgages exist, although they're usually not very convenient though, because transaction costs are real and the risk of being unable to find acceptable finance terms when the balloon payment is due is also real.

Similarly, lots of people participate in retirement accounts with substantial fees for early access. I guess you could do mortgage lending from retirement funds, but the interest rates aren't compelling (they might be if that was the only source of long term lending though).
