I don't get it. The point on swearing on the bible is that God (karma, the universe, a higher power) will judge/punish you if you act evil.

This is just silly / virtue signaling.
Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.’ But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. And do not take an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.

(Matthew 5:33-37)
Placing your hand on a book and uttering words is the essence of being “superstitious”, at least if you aren’t religious.

Define rapidly. It's now been two decades since I was first told "yes, that's a culture thing, but everyone knows it's crazy, and it's on the way out".

"Observe" in the sense of someone who can see coordinate times, e.g. if you draw a space-time diagram and then perform a Lorentz transformation.
It could be useful for people who will basically never need gas, but are too scared to make a full switch and are happy to pay extra for the complexity.

In that scenario would you rather see someone to hold on to their car running on gas until it dies, or get one where they use the gas once a year?
Well the oath has always been symbolic and the binding agreement has always just been legal. The symbology of swearing on the Bible seems obvious. You’re making a commitment to God.

That means nothing to some people. In which case I’d argue an oath means strictly less than if you have some higher power you feel accountable to. I don’t think anyone thinks - least of all Carl Sagan - that Carl Sagan can hold themselves accountable for broken promises.

In this case it’s being used as a demonstration of values which people don’t necessarily see as having any eternal or cosmic weight. Do they believe the nature of not following these values begets some sort of divine justice? The very fact that they are choosing them seems to imply no - others may choose different values and not fulfill those ones. Do they think such oaths should be rejected?
It kind of seems you are discrediting HTMX based on Go's lack of hot reloading on the backend.

Not going to debate you line by line, but HTMX doesn't prevent you from using client-side JS, for example to create your right-click context menus.
a bunch of idiots on Wall Street

Usually, those "idiots" are pension funds, mutual funds, and ETFs owned by retail investors. And, this is normal for a mature company to no longer have insiders control the vast majority of voting shares.

Also, Netflix free float stock is no longer controlled by a few people. It is widely held, and it hasn't lost sight of its mission. It continues to optimize employee and customer satisfaction with great success for their stock price. (No, I am not a shill for Netflix.)

People give meaning to things. Bible, Quran, etc have meaning only because people express that meaning.

> But if the people being sworn in don’t view their documents as having some authority over their promise then what is the point?

The point is that swearing on a "Pale blue dot" is exactly expression of submitting to authority of that book.

I think this is the right strategy. People lamenting the extra gas engine components and their maintenance must not be familiar with the reliability of a modern (ICE) vehicle.
Depends if they are talking about Spring the framework, or Spring Boot, the "conventions bootstrapper"

Both of them do not have bad docs, maybe some sub project might have, but compared to RoR (sorry never used Django), Spring's projects docs are magnificent. Their problem could be navigation for someone new to it, or in the case of Spring Framework, just too much concepts.

So, Spring Framework is basically "make everything configurable extensible etc", its code if full of old java patterns for generic stuff (the infamous "AbstractSingletonProxyBeanFactory" , ye, not great), to not only have a very feature full dependency injection, but to allow stuff like AOP and setting up via xml and many other things. This is the base of spring so you will have to kinda deal with its concepts if you hit an issue.

Ruby on Rails was a reaction to things like Spring, it's philosophy is "convention over configuration" in contrast to Spring's unparalleled configuration options. And so Spring Boot is born as a reaction to Rails.

Spring Boot is at its core 2 things

* an annotation engine for Spring configuration, instead of using all those hellish factories or XML

* Sane Defaults for Spring Framework
There were also many other projects under its umbrella to streamline with those 2 things other components of the Spring ecosystems, from Http Apis to Repository patterns

Ok so reflection and magic:

* Both are full of reflection. That's how it keeps being very generic at its core.

* Magic is an issue of Boot, you just put some annotation and it would do who knows what. Still way less magic than Rails, as at least you see the annotations, and search for it in the docs. Framework isn't really "magic", as you would have to explicitly configure everything in either XML or through its classes. ( Spring Data does have weird magic, worse that Rails, generating full SQL queries from method names? C'mon)

Nowadays, modern java (server side) either uses Spring Boot (due to easily supporting most kind of infra you might use from persistence to messaging), something specific for their use case (quarkus makes it easy for small image and quick startup) or not use a DI framework at all, as most servers nowadays are fine, and language has plenty of features to not need some management of Injected. I actually see no value now to "minimal DI frameworks", because manually wiring is not actually hard except when you have a circular dependency, which you should not have anyway. (The codebases I had better time working with were either on Boot or had no managed DI)

Spring Boot and Framework new releases actually require Java17, with the objective of being able to start to clean up their codebase from old patterns that were kinda required in the old times.
> So with this, the last thing Go had going for it over Java is gone, right?

Go still has composition over inheritance, which is vastly more flexible. Go favors explicit (verbose copy-paste, redundancy, use stdlib first, libraries second) over implicit (magic annotations, frameworks everywhere) and I like when I can understand what's happening without holding 10 files in my brain context. Go's memory usage doesn't trigger the OOM killer every 10 minutes. Go favors copy-pasting because what you copy is short and understandable, and function names don't have 10 words in it.

It's always going to be a personal choice, and even though virtual threads bring java closer to where go is, it's still not there for me.
Was always wondering why laundry sometimes takes longer although I put in the same quantity of clothes. Now it makes sense. Thanks for the explanation, very informative!
Java also has a low-lat GC which is also better than Go’s at the relevant metrics (ZGC).
i would argue that the (almost exclusive) point of swearing something publicly is to signal your values. otherwise why not just swear it to yourself?
Belief in mass hysteria is itself the most common form of mass hysteria.
I wonder if emergent abilities are just the result of better clustering. For example, a clustering algorithm with rich datasets could improve the quality and number of clusters so to provide emergent abilities. As the number of parameters in the LLM is increased and the trained allows the embedding to construct a richer hypothesis space, the clustering algorithm could construct new centers that are the origin of the emergent capabilities.

Also it could be related to the percolation threshold (1)

I like that he actually attempted to define emergent behaviour - hadn't seen that before.

That said it doesn't seem like a good definition. Bigger models can do more things than smaller models. That to me doesn't make the delta between them "emergent".

Not that I've got a better definition...

Guns have no place at a programming language conference, it's as simple as that, it's not about imposing politics.

I'm sure they don't care if attendees carry weapons outside of the conference, they're not saying gun owners are not licensed to use rust or anything.

Indeed. It is the curse of the Stroustrup law.
Single executable is useful for end-user. It is not very relevant on servers or for development.

On the other hand portability and debugging experience with jars are vastly better. Just consider a developer on Mac with Apple silicon cannot use the same executable as on Amd/Intel server, while jars are cpu-independent.

That’s what emergent means. Something scales quantitatively, and after reaching certain levels, without any other special prompting, something else changes qualitatively.

Presumably we recognize these things, then learn something after we have investigated and found out what the new mode of operation is, why it needed what it did to emerge, and possibly find new efficiencies or other ways to amplify the emergent effects.

Every invented moral panic is about “the children.” Rock music, Jewish people “corrupting” the youth, satanists, trans people. It’s sad that people still buy into these stories meant to outrage people and seed divide, anger, and violence. And it’s always pushed by people with clear political and financial agendas picking fringe extreme and uncommon examples pretending it’s everywhere.

Someday you’ll forget this was ever a thing and pretend you never bought into it. It’s what everyone does during every invented outrage. You’ve been told to be angry about some fringe thing and believed it. 10 years from now there’ll be another big thing to be angry about.

You’re not angry “for the children.” Please drop the act.
"After corona was used as a testbed", better?

I realize covid-mandates were perceived differently from country to country.

Where I live, we first had a push for a general vaccination mandate, which was later more or less silently abolished because it turned out the promised efficientcy of the vaccines turned out to be not that high, and politicians silent, without explaining why, let the mandate plans slip back into their hiding place. As a result, we have pretty much destroyed any remaining trust in politics and so-called "experts" in the general population.
The love child of Erlang and Rust exists already: Pony.

It really is the best of both languages... unfortunately, the main supporter of Pony seems to have stopped using it in favour of Rust though :D.

But if that's really what you want, Pony is your language. It definitely deserves more love.
Unfortunately most engineers will only care about themselves and remain gleefully ignorant. If they can break and control the poor they can then outnumber the engineers and others they can’t yet control or destroy. We need to make these engineers insecure about their world view and future.

The target population for climate change propaganda is the same segment of society that has been targeted since they've been very young in school with propaganda, another type of propaganda but but still yet guilt propaganda.. so they've been set up since youth to see themselves as evil, so therefore the climate change propaganda which is guilt propaganda it's right into their psyche which is already been shaped since youth by elite propaganda in school

That isn't a general behaviour. You can get <5mb binary size for modest apps. Likely have one or two "bad" actors contributing to binary size. Try the Graal VM dashboard to identify which modules are bloating up the binary.

In C++'s STL you can reserve() a specific capacity for the std::vector to use, and at the end of your operation you can trim off the remaining memory using shrink_to_fit():

std::vector<int> elems;
elems.reserve(max_bound_num_of_elems);
// do some push_back()'s
elems.shrink_to_fit();

Is there anything similar in Go?
But nothing like Nanite and Lumen. There's just no comparison.
Nice link. I was able to roughly match the tinnitus in my left ear to somewhere near 12,000 Hz. Mine is a constant super high-pitch so difficult to match exactly. Surprised I could still hear the generated tone that high.
To be clear, you think this (using the web server built into the JDK):

HttpServer server = HttpServer.create(new InetSocketAddress(8000), 0);
server.createContext("/test", http -> http.sendResponseHeaders(200, -1));
server.start();

Contains too much magic?
Not really what happened, was it? It's what you were told happened, though.
The whole swear in procedure is silly and is literal virtue signaling. Should the official be swearing in on the Bible anyway if they don't believe it?
You could also have dementia and people steal all your stuff and molest you while pretending to be your child.

It’s weird to get anxious about obscure possible things that could happen.
I've done a similar thing with a "dumb" washing machine using a Arduino with an attached LDR (light-dependent resistor) taped to the "door open" LED.

The Arduino sends the value of the LDR over serial port to a laptop which sends changes to the "door open" over Signal to my phone

Many would say, this is silly too. If people need this 'ode' to not do evil, I think something is wrong with them.
I agree with you that it all boils down to the person, but only for the swearing on the Bible version. Swearing on Pale Blue Dot is meaningless, that is, she won't lose sleep thinking how she let down Carl Sagan lol.
Is it a classical recommendation method?

People believe different things about the Bible. She me people think swearing on it is making a promise to God.

Does the person swearing on Sagans book think Sagan is going to hold them accountable to a broken promise?
Sounds to me like you're comparing apples to oranges. Input method has nothing to do with why console games only allow adjusting gamma and contrast, that's because on a console the game is already optimised for the exact hardware as it only runs on one type of hardware, so you get almost no options because none are needed beyond things like whether or not you prefer motion blur, etc.

But my argument was that in the actual game Portal not many inputs are even needed, which you didn't even respond to...

The one thing that differs in the "analog stick" argument between controller and mouse is that the mouse offers much more flexible movement than the controller. You can only angle the controller at most 30° and that's it, while you can throw your mouse across your desk if you want to. This I could accept does theoretically limit design a little bit if you are aiming for an enjoyable controller experience in a fast-paced game where you're utilising all 3 axes in movement. But Portal is not a fast-paced game so that doesn't really apply...
Many people view those religious texts no differently than they do a book of secular fairy tales.

It’s not hard to imagine those people finding more meaning in ceremonially swearing over a Constitution, science text, or other important document.
I mean, recycling something cheap like plastic is generally a waste of time, it’s hard to argue anything else. But, whole industries exist around scrapping metals, and extracting gold from old electronics is lucrative. Lithium is more valuable than most metals that have healthy scrapping industries, so I disagree that it’s never going to work.

A few counterpoints:

- Modern Java requires heavy use of Decorators

- JSON handling is tiresome

- As soon as you are using Spring you aren't actually coding Java anymore

- Many mature libraries have dated APIs

- Similar functionality is often implemented multiple times in multiple different libraries. Can be confusing if you start out.

- Java requires a well configure IDE

- However, IDE Support won't matter in a year or two when we have IDE integrated AI support

I guess it depends on the problem you want to solve.
For the use cases I work on I'd prefer Go for its simplicity.

You can even use a million native threads without an issue on Linux. But unless they are mostly idle you probably won't be able to serve a million concurrent clients, wether you use threads or not.
Yeah, assembly is part of hardware which Sony can do just fine.

I own a PHEV and it’s crazy how much it increases your quality of life. It’s so nice to be able to do local errands on electric and if I use gas, I get over 40 mpg easily which is really good for a SUV so I get about 500 mile range on a single tank. I honestly think this car fits the bill for so many families in the US. It’ll sell really well as long as dealership stops being greedy.
What is silly is that laicism is still not a thing in US government in 2023.

Your founding fathers actually wanted a government without religion. Nobody is telling you to not hold your beliefs, just don't impose them on others.

Unfortunately, it seems that some modern websites, including Google, tend to prioritize IP address over user preferences when it comes to language selection. I've ensured that my browser language, preferred language, and Linux locale are all set to English, and I make a point to change any settings I find in German to English as well. Despite this, some websites still display content in German.

To further prove my my point, I've just connected to a Singapore VPN, refreshed the page, and all book titles switched to English. When I disconnected from the VPN and refreshed again, the titles reverted to German.
But if you don't happen to believe in God then swearing on a book of (from the oath takers perspective) fairy tails is equivalently silly / virtue signaling.

I think it's better if someone calls out that they don't believe in the thing they are swearing on and substitutes it with something they do believe in? otherwise one is making a promise on top of a lie that they also believe in the contents of that book, so the whole stack is forfeit.

Or am I missing something?
I conclude that person thinks Sagan will hold them equally as accountable as God would if they’d chosen His book.
