6. The theory is to dispel the myth that blockchain is a fringe technology used only by those wanting to risk their livelihoods or possibly make their fortunes on volatile cryptoassets like Bitcoin.

7. The blockchain is now at a stage in its development equivalent to where the internet was in or around 1995. The internet was unstoppable in 1995 and blockchain technology is unstoppable now. It will become ubiquitous in all major industrial and financial sectors, simply because it allows for the immutable recording of data, thereby reducing friction in commercial and consumer transactions and obliterating the scope for dispute as to what has occurred.

8. As the Master of the Rolls and Head of Civil Justice in England and Wales, I hold an office that pre-dates modern trade in derivatives and reinsurance, even steam engines, powered flight, and certainly the internet. I am particularly and obviously concerned about the reputation and development of English law and the jurisdiction of England and Wales.

9. Many people do not realise that English law governs trading in €600 trillion of OTC derivatives annually, in €11.6 trillion in metals trading, in £250 billion in M&A deals, and in £80 billion in insurance contracts every year – just to take a few examples. My hope is that English law will prove to be the law of choice for borderless blockchain technology as its take up grows exponentially in the months and years to come.

I think we can both agree that this is a well reasoned case made by a global expert in the field who is talking inside of his area of expertise: I feel that my view of the blockchain and its potentials is similar, although of course less nuanced. I think you should reconsider your position based on this analysis and the work of many other experts in the field. But you do you. By all means be the expert. Be the authority.

> The Latin root of the word passion is patior, which means to suffer or endure. [...] I don’t see how “passionate” is an appropriate descriptor for someone who only programs between the hours of 9 to 5 For their job.

I don't see that at all. Honestly, there is a lot I disagree with here.

First, a word's etymology is not prescriptive for its actual usage. For example, the English word "eventually" and the German word "eventuell" both directly come from the same French word, and have very conflicting meanings. That's just one example of countless ones.

But even if I accept your premise that passion is persevering in the face of suffering, I don't see why that "suffering" cannot be timeboxed in a sense. I've certainly had private passion projects that I could only work on during certain times, very passionately and with significant "suffering" during debugging, though.

> In the same way that I don’t see how working for (and being compensated for) 8 hours a day can be described as suffering

Why not?

But moreover:

> When someone says they have a passion for programming, I usually take that to mean that their evenings are dominated by programming time, instead of hanging with friends, other hobbies, etc.

How does OP which I replied to even know that about their coworkers, unless they talk about it, which was my point? I do program outside of work. I don't think all coworkers in my own team know that I do.

And about that second part: Are you saying that someone who hangs with friends, has other hobbies etc. cannot be passionate?

I would call myself a very passionate programmer. Two of my favorite languages are Haskell and BQN (an APL-like that looks like line noise). My last private project included a self-designed 4-layer PCB with, just for fun, my own PAL encoder composite output analog circuit and digital modulator, where I could have just gotten off the shelf parts. In another project I reverse-engineered a bespoke discrete chip MMU in a computer from the 80s, by looking at the disassembled OS kernel and staring at pictures of the PCB. The platform has been obsolete since the early 90s and there is no modern use for that, not even in a niche.

Sure, here I talk about that, but this is "Hacker News".

Outside of HN and my projects, I still love hanging with friends, have other hobbies as well that have nothing to do with programming, and take care not to sit at work too much. Not passionate?

My experience has been the opposite. With hooks, it's now possible to decompose a concern and modularize it in full. Having logic for dealing with a concern spread over willMount/didMount/shouldUpdate/willUnmount was a total mess. It's bad enough with one concern, but if a component has 3 or 4 concerns that span across the lifecycle, it quickly became unwieldy. And for all the complains about people using `useEffect` wrong, I saw just as many people using setState calls in lifecycle methods and crazy things happening in mapStateToProps of class components.

In the end, hooks have greatly simplified things for me.

That raises the question of why they used it ineffectively in the first place then. They asked it to do something, it did, but they say it misses the point that a senior engineer would spot. My point is that if you want to judge how well it operates in replacing someone you have to actually specify who it's supposed to be imitating. It's not idle speculation, as I said I did this and it worked. Asking it for an example of monkeypatching gave back a proper example, along with a warning about maintainability.

Telling it I was a junior engineer and wanted to use monkeypatching did the same thing. Asking a followup of why I should be so careful with it and what I could do instead it gives explanations about several problems and then a few other approaches. Telling it simply to be a senior and I'm a junior, and that it should come up with followup questions for me it not only explains those problems but gives me the kind of followups a junior should ask but may not know to. Exactly the kind of intuitions about what's going on that are said to be missed here.

So I think the example used is significantly weaker than it appears, and the argument hinges on what GPT4 is lacking.

Now, a very solid response to the problem posed is that if it can approximate a more senior role for discussions it can make junior engineers more effective and teach them those skills.

I think it is because anything that can be used for good can also be used for bad. Advances in gene editing can provide a miracle medicine or a new means for biological warfare.

AI is the same, we can use it to do some great things but it can also be leveraged by bad actors and very easily. The broad scale of what it can be implemented on means there is a lot of attach surface for change in either direction.

The AI systems don't even need to be that advanced to cause real issues simply because of the sheer scale of society as it stands. It can be used in a form of Akido in which it uses the weight of the system to bring itself down.

Whether or not someone should use J vs another language is an interesting, but entirely separate question. The original post was about rewriting things in the same language to be more 'readable', not to suggest everyone who doesn't use one of the imperative languages you mentioned should just rewrite their entire codebase, which would obviously be an unrealistic suggestion. As I said in my other comment, I have an issue with this (or at least the examples they gave), because the J code is not unreadable to J programmers.

Like you say, if everyone speaks Russian, communicating in Russian can have benefits. The same thing is true with J, or k, or any of these more obscure languages. Saying that your code is "formatted" and not "one-liners" to me suggests that you haven't seen these benefits yet, and I'd suggest reading Iverson's Notation as a Tool of Thought[1] or some of the very informative HN comments [2] about how this style of code can be very useful and productive, and yes, readable.

You still haven't answered my original question, which was how the implementation of the moving average was "obtuse". The moving average code is (>:i.$n)%~+/\n. This seems pretty reasonable to me. As the cumulative sum is ascending, you can use /: instead of i.$, but that seems less obvious. I don't know what issue you could have with this code, other than it having slightly more punctuation than a mainstream language.

I'm not being snarky, but this can all be reductively boiled down to "we shouldn't let people self-govern, because they don't know what's good for them."

I posit an opposing viewpoint: people know what they want; why get in their way -- you're not their parents. Take care of your intimates and close ones, but let other people live their lives in their enclaves, bubbles, and so on -- self-governing as they please.

Will they do and believe in things that you personally wouldn't? Yes. Will some of those things end up being terribly offensive to your sensibilities (morals/ethics/beliefs, what have you)? Most likely.

Under direct voting, if you see something that you believe to be terribly bad being brought out onto the floor, you are free to organize amongst your community to strike it down (or do the reverse, and bring forth an initiative you believe to be good). But that also opens up the possibility that no one will want what you want, and your initiatives will fail. At that point, you can either accept it, and go on with your life, or -- in these globalized times -- move somewhere else with people that share your views.

Generally, if you don't completely disintegrate the community through various means (as is popular in the U.S., see: globalized workforce), they can self-govern in a way that is sustainable and that fulfills their best interests. This is how humanity has survived for countless thousands of years.

Better yet, give back to the people the means for self-sufficiency, and you will soon see that national/federal power wanes, as there is little need for external forces to keep a community alive and thriving. "Vote yes if you want $1 (fine-print: by also giving us logging rights to your forests)" is easily prevented by: a close-knit and cohesive community with a group "mind." Your community leaders will tell you it's a swindle, and to drive out anyone that comes with such a proposition. Of course, that would lessen the amount of exploitation the individual receives by higher powers -- thereby "shorting" these same powers of their self-justified right over the individual (and his resources). I.e. a lot of powerful people's plans and careers and goals will be upended -- and that's a no-no.
