It's always nice to see projects attempting to explore something a bit different than the status quo (which in Java's case is Spring or hopefully at least Spring Boot). Personally, I've also had good experiences with Dropwizard: https://www.dropwizard.io/en/latest/ Any smaller project will suffer at least somewhat from a lack of documentation/examples, but Dropwizard takes many packages that might be considered idiomatic in the Java ecosystem (Jetty, Jersey, Jackson, Metrics, Logback, Hibernate/JDBI3 and others) and joins them without too much hidden complexity or "magic".

In contrast, something like Spring might suffer from too many examples, many of which are outdated, no longer relevant or considered best practices, as well as there are far too many ways to get something done, leading to lots of confusion. Though the last time I used Dropwizard, I still ran into some issues with adding dependency injection (which is optional), since I had to write some of the code for that myself and couldn't find something that worked nicely enough for my needs. Otherwise it was fine, though probably could benefit from additional tooling like Spring Initializr.

Either way, anything that lets you put a breakpoint on some initialization code is worth a look in my book, vs having multiple layers of indirection and logic dictated by annotations that are not easy to debug, or even understand. That's also why I'm not necessarily the biggest fun of Laravel, Rails (convention over configuration/code) or a few other frameworks, though I acknowledge their usefulness otherwise.
C# and Java have very different philosophies here - the former prefers exposing the primitives to the developers at the price of a simpler runtime but a more complex language, while java does the opposite.

Of course performance is a goal, but they asked the fundamental questions around the topic, and managed to boil it down to something that will also solve another painpoint of the language at the same time, and help heal the rift between primitives and objects.

And your last paragraph is true in general, but the explicit goal of all this is to restrict the possible semantics of code to enable optimizations - so in the end a compiler-enforced nullable, primitive class will be reliably flattened.

I honestly didn't expect this from Reddit. It seems like investors are really tightening their grip and they are banning subreddits and long-time users who oppose these changes left and right.

I built a free API emulating the Reddit API[1]. It was returning the same data as the existing publicly accessible .json endpoints on reddit.com (for example https://www.reddit.com/r/Save3rdPartyApps.json). They not only blocked my requests, but also banned the subreddit I created and my 13 years old personal Reddit account (permanently!).

Now you're playing semantics games. Saying "it does not solve the issue of intermittency at all" does not mean it cannot be a partial solution. The main point is that hydrogen does solve the issue, as a full solution, whereas all the others are just partial solutions.

I haven't worked on any of the classic lisp implementations but can speculate. I suppose the ratio of usefulness to difficulty of implementation doesn't work out.

Mutable state with serialise/deserialise either breaks the aliasing or needs some way to keep the referenced variables alive (nasty interaction with garbage collection) and to re-establish aliasing on deserialise.

Serialising a DAG to a tree tends to duplicate the previously shared nodes. There's then the question of whether deserialising the tree should re-establish the original sharing or some other sharing. Serialising a graph to a (finite) tree needs some notation to represent the cycles.

It looks to me like mutable state is the blocker but I'd be interested in other opinions.
I'm sure the failson/daughter is a phenomenon with literally ancient roots. To paraphrase the Bible, the rich will be with you always.
> why humans topped the list for binding affinity from the outset

This is an unbelievable coincidence that makes the zoonotic spillover hypothesis laughable. To a biologist, the likelihood of this happening by chance is clear: virtually 0. But explaining the size of the space of optimal solutions to a given binding problem versus the space of good solutions to the general public, well, that's really hard too. So an obvious and completely non-circumstantial piece of evidence is the last one in the public's mind. And we are still acting like there is a question of where the virus came from, and we will be for decades, or at least until the average level of biology education is raised by a few sharp degrees.
> Most of Twitter's successes came from watching what users were actually doing and supporting that (e.g., at mentions, retweets, quote tweets).

Yeah, maybe if what users are actually doing is bully each other you shouldn't support that.
It sounds a lot like a FoxPro codebase I worked with. Mumps predates FoxPro by 15-20 years but some constraints applied to FoxPro that are silly now, especially 8 character DOS filenames. Both languages let you build a string that you then use as a function name and have a form of "eval". In both cases, namespaces are absent and made up for by code letters and lookup tables. In FoxPro 2.x, tables were named by their filenames. Code was shared between projects by using a 2 letter code to different the parts that were project specific. It was WTF-inducing for me at the time, coming from C++ and Pascal, but it made sense at the time. Those applications were quite fast on very limited hardware, probably 286s when the project was started.

I think the comment I am replying to argues there is no need to cut the Internet. You and I are saying there is no need for such an exam. Given the exam, the measure makes sense. That it does points to the exam not making sense.

Yeah, because the consequences of accidentally blocking someone on social media are just as serious as the consequences of a bank confusing two accounts.
Ah, there's the edit, right.

One of the principles that I hold to pretty strongly is that the more performatively famous someone is surrounding a certain idea, the more likely it is that they don't have any real principles, and they're just beating whatever drum allows them to continue to hold influence over people. So someone like Pat Robertson doesn't actually believe what he's saying in private, but if he kept banging that drum he kept his lifestyle and acolytes. I think the majority of US politicians that people recognize by name are like that, and certainly most religious leaders like Pat or Joel Osteen.

There are a lot of posts like this here on HN: history by lumpers. They try to discern large-scale patterns or one or two keys that unlock a coherent, consistent interpretation of history.

I am a splitter. It turns out that every interpretation produced by lumpers depends on oversimplifying or flattening the past in ways that are demonstrably wrong. Lumpers say that that doesn’t invalidate their larger point. The details are just the decorative garnish, not the fundamental point. It is self-evident, to me, that that is wrong. But I’m a splitter, not a lumper. I didn’t choose to be a splitter after carefully considering the alternative(s: it’s a continuum, of course, more than a binary state). Splitting comes natural to me. The details really do matter. You can’t inductively build useful models of human being on top of incorrect or inaccurate observations of humans being in the world.

How much lumping, or splitting, one can tolerate is one of those mysterious facts about yourself that are black boxed even to your inspection. De gustibus non est disputandum, I suppose.

The underlying problem is using this exam to create the illusion of meritocracy.
Years before Tesla released AP Lexus had walled off ACC behind eye tracking.

Voat didn't win shit. This is one of my favorite quotes from Slate Star Codex:

> The moral of the story is: if you’re against witch-hunts, and you promise to found your own little utopian community where witch-hunts will never happen, your new society will end up consisting of approximately three principled civil libertarians and seven zillion witches. It will be a terrible place to live even if witch-hunts are genuinely wrong.

Voat immediately turned into a cesspool of overt racism, anti-Semitism, and harassment. If you think there is a place on the mainstream Internet these days where people can gleefully host "FatPeopleHate"-like forums and not capsize and sink, good luck.

That's the correct interpretation of "strong opinions", as I understand the phrase.

The "weakly held" part means that you are willing to adjust your opinion in the face of contradictory evidence, which is difficult to do for deeply held beliefs.

In the early 1960s, a 707 landing at Heathrow mistook a nearby WW2 airfield for Heathrow(!). How the pilot[1] got the 707 stopped on that short field is a miracle. But the problem was getting it off the ground again, the runway was too short.

They stripped everything out of the aircraft - seats, galleys, everything. Then put in just enough gas to hop over the hedges to Heathrow. They barely made it.

[1] The pilot was cashiered.
It is an interesting experiment that would require some work before I would see it in my production environments. First of all, in bigger projects dependency injection is going to happen one or another way. Having all controllers implementing some simple interface and thus avoiding overhead of runtime mapping is fine. How can we map 50-100 endpoints and wire persistence etc without a god class or a lot of user code? Looks like a case for at least compile-time reflection and source level annotations (micronaut).

Second, a small suggestion: the only difference between null and empty string or any other special value is that null fails faster. Client code that is not fully aware of all allowed special cases is going to fail at some more obscure point, so user of the data model must ensure that all cases are handled adequately. Offering to null of all those cases a preferential treatment with a special class is IMO just adding verbosity to the code with longer declarations and unwrapping. I would keep only OptionalField and rename it to Maybe<T> - it does have semantics justifying a wrapper. Constructors can enforce non-null constraint and user code can handle null or other cases in a traditional way.
The Gettier problem is overrated.

The question is "what is knowledge?", not "do we know that we know p?". And I see no issue with the definition of knowledge as justified, true belief. Now, if I believe p, and you ask me whether I know p, I may say yes. But whether I actually know p will depend on whether my justification is valid (that it really is a justification and a sufficient one) and whether it is true, which has nothing to do with whether anyone knows whether the justification is valid and the belief is true. It's a separate question, and conflating the two questions leads to an infinite regress of skepticism. So the definition of knowledge qua knowledge still stands.

I would also suggest you try to apply your general approach to the very theory you are proposing. I see an opportunity for retorsion arguments.

1. He said he spends $166 / 50 million Imgur API requests. He must have a sweetheart deal because I see the prices at $3,333 / 50 million API requests (and if you go above that, it gets crazy expensive FAST)

I'm not disagreeing with you, as the ability to communicate and disseminate information freely is extremely vital. However I don't think there's a comparable milestone/goal/event in the west as to the bac in Algeria. It is a big deal for them: parties are thrown if you pass, people sob if they don't. Familial expectations often overwhelm the students. Sure we have stuff like SAT/ACT, and some people place emphasis on those, but not to the extent or reach as over there.

I don't want to touch on the merits of the exam as a whole, but rather just state that this exam is a big deal to a majority of people over there and they view the shutoff as a necessary inconvenience.
Don't agree with that. While people may have been unaware, the news is literally plastered all over reddit at the moment - it's impossible to miss. Most people may not care about it that much, but the "zeitgeist" if you will of general anger at reddit management permeating nearly every subreddit is impossible to miss. Just one example: https://old.reddit.com/r/Austin/comments/145jqcl/the_vote_is...
> because it would be outside the scope of their warrant.

And? Unless the scope of the warrant is immutable then what's the issue? It might be a bit slower to get the scope extended or get the victim's consent, but it seems far less abusable of a situation. It appears as a big deal to me because it is part of authoritative creep. Authoritarian powers don't come out of democracies overnight, but rather because the pathway to hell is paved with good intentions that are abused. The whole point of democracy is to distribute power and set up significant speedbumps for someone to agglomerate control. Things may seem small, but a few small things can form a big thing. If we just say that it is small in each of those situations, then the big thing happens unnoticed. The better question is how ripe a power is for abuse and what could an abuser do with such power. This is far more important than intent or even the size of the matter.
The middle ground always gets pushed to the extremes when there's a strong push to alienate some views.

Covid was worse than the flu, but the flu is also deadly and we should be paying more attention to vaccinating it. The deaths aren't evenly distributed, either, young healthy people have less to worry about, but "less" isn't "nothing." For masks, you really wanted N95 masks, not cloth, and you still have to avoid large indoor gatherings.

Nobody said that bleach in the lungs was good. Trump mentioned disinfectant presumably butchering a description of the HealLight which would use UV to destroy the virus, effectively "disinfecting" the lungs. There are always idiots poisoning themselves with bleach, though, but nobody pays much attention to the poison control stats most of the time. HCQ and Ivermectin had some promising studies but no real effectiveness for the things people wanted them for. There probably is some rise in myocarditis due to vaccines... but they're still a lot safer if you look at mortality rates. "Great Reset" was from an actual policy proposal someone put out, but doesn't really stand for the things the conspiracies say it does.

All of these things got pushed into extreme caricatures depending on what side you trust.
It's also toxic on the low end.

> It might sound crazy, but I think a good rule of thumb is that your strongest convictions have the highest chance of being wrong or incomplete, if only because they are the hardest beliefs to challenge, update, and abandon when necessary.

I strongly disagree with this, unless we are only talking about beliefs that are about facts of the universe.

For example, my strongest belief is that all people have an equal right to exist and pursue their own purpose... this is not a belief about the facts of the universe, but about my own morality. I don't think it has a chance to be 'wrong'
