Could you elaborate on exactly what complexity in Java you're referring to?

By having an overly simplistic language, you end up pushing more complexity onto the programmer and into the code base. There is no free lunch.

I find it much more sane to solve and express code in Java. You get terser, more to the point code that reflects the underlying logic more clearly, compared to having to read many lines or pages to understand what's going on.
Love the idea. I think it would be interesting to convert the photos taken at a place into 3D space and only prevent people from taking photos of the same stuff from the same angles. Taking pictures of unseen places is great, but so, too, is photographing something commonplace in a unique way.
Zig is an amazing language. Just wish they weren't anti-RAII.
It has:

* Relatively simple syntax.

* "Good enough" expressivity-- nothing that's considered "missing" has been a true blocker for most projects.

* An easily accessible concurrency primitive, with the bonus that the runtime can choose to execute goroutines in parallel (when able)-- this comes with no required function coloring or split in a code base.

* A well opinionated environment packaged with the compiler: default formatter, default method for fetching remote deps, default documentation generator, default race detector, default profiler, default testing system.

* Decent portability-- can cross compile relatively easily from one platform to another, doesn't require a larger runtime pre-installed on the foreign host.

* "Batteries included" standard library.

* Inertia-- enough of an active community to pull what you need from the Internet, whether it's guides or code.

* A "good enough" type system to catch some errors before they become runtime errors.

* A "good enough" abstraction for operating on data with: structs, interfaces, and methods. With composition being preferred over inheritance, and embedding bringing handy sugar.

No language is perfect, everyone has an opinion, but for many people this is "close enough" to what they prefer to work with.

Gophers may just be a bit more vocal about it.
Love the fact that the camera says YES when you can shoot, but "NEIN" when it decides you can't.

Saying "no" in German carries just so much more weight :D
The caffeine takes about half an hour to kick in. When I was in college I would drink a cup of coffee then take a half hour nap. I woke up feeling great and ready to work.
In the 1960s, there were 20 incidents of shootings at a school.

In the 1990s, there were 99.

In the 2010s, there were 261.

So far in the 2020s, there have been 139, so we're on pace to set a new record for school shootings in the US.

Crazy that all these schools were in the inner city and they were all the result of mental health issues. Also wild that other countries with income disparities the same or worse than ours and other countries with significant mental health challenges in their populace don't have the gun violence stats that we have.

I wonder why.
Well the entire command should be:

On a serious note: Is this similar in functionality to "expect" ?

Edit: corrected that expect is not a gnu project, thanks for the correction.
>3. It's unclear who should add context to error messages is it the caller or callee? Usually it gets skipped, leading to useless error messages

Why is that unclear?

Let's say you are writting a db client package and a service around it.

The package's db.Exec(query) method should return and error that will have an error text received from db if any AND\OR context from the package itself.

Then in your service you add additional context to this error if needed.

Finally you log your typical "failed to write HackerNews comment do db with err: %db_package_context: db_error_text_here%"

Not sure about "most" loggers, but I have no problem with zap. Popular, definetelly can be injected etc.
I'm strongly convinced that the google brand name gave it a big push. Its predecessor (Limbo if I recall correctly) went nowhere. It did bring uncolored async to the mainstream, but as in typical golang fashion, it was very verbose and error prone.

Java learned the right lessons and I'm quite excited to see their structured concurrency approach. No need to pass channels and contexts everywhere to manually manage hierarchies from what I gather.
Many years ago, before I was twenty, I hitched a ride on a pearling boat with a sea kayak to shoot the horizontal falls in the Kimberley (Western Australia) which was then (~1980) unvisited and well off even the remote adventure tourism tracks although much better known now [1][2].

It remains today as both one of the most exhilarating and the stupidist things I've done.

Equatorial tide changes through a narrow gorge are insane enough before adding in salt water crocodiles on one side and sharks on the other (well, both on both sides to be honest).

Yeah.

Without being familiar with the Postgres source, this seems to be what I call a "somersault problem": hard to break down into sub-goals. I have heard that the Postgres codebase is solid which makes it easier but it's still mature and highly complex. It doesn't sound feasible to me.

I think we are damaged by school. The teacher was always there to make sure we followed instructions correctly, rarely to provider guidance for our benefit.
> I wonder if we'll see a similar instruction for 2 bits -> 2 bits? Could be useful!

You don't even need to support all 16 functions, as a number are duplicates or could be implemented with others. The following list covers all possibilities:

- AND, OR, XOR [supported basically everywhere]

- AND-NOT (a&~b), OR-NOT (a|~b) [sometimes supported]

- NOT-AND (~(a&b)), NOT-OR (~(a|b)), NOT-XOR (aka XNOR)

So only a few basic instructions need to exist to support all combinations of 2-operand bitwise logic.

> People will literally create blacklists of sites, and if you don't follow the blacklist you'll get added to it.

I imagine some will, but hopefully that won't be the norm. Beehaw isn't doing it.

There's probably been similar stuff on twitter though - blacklists where you get added for following someone else on the blacklist
They are still debugging and patching the causes. The crash detection is just to try and prevent a single bug from bringing down the whole system.
In my experience in healthcare, SFTP is far more common than FTP/FTPS.

Maybe because it's simpler to administer (no active vs passive issue). In any case, it's the preferred choice.

In all fairness those were the exact same comments when people moved away from Digg to reddit, only in the opposite direction. History is just repeating itself.
Perhaps simple language and lack of abstractions lead to less code reuse so you can more easily tell where a particular error is coming from without context (less possible code paths).
I always set an alarm for 25 minutes. If I sleep longer I’m going to be groggy for the rest of the day.
I'm by no means a UI expert, but
1. The email box / button needs to be much bigger. You probably want a more custom button style as well
2. Image loading speed is inconsistent; choice of image also. I will probably stick with a single image
3. Animation of the record is cool, but it should be triggered once only. There is no need for a big "X" button to reset it

I went through your blog post and I like your idea. Would love to see further iterations with the page and product

I'm a professional programmer not a graphics person, so take with a grain of salt. It looks cool! The intro is fun and the scrolling title bar is a nice touch (although I think some people might be turned off by it)

I will say though, to me personally it looks very simplistic. For example, the button and the textbox appear to have no styling. Also I don't understand why there's an X in the top-right corner which repeats the intro animation.
A lot of photographs are taken in boring light. This camera could also help by saying how many photos were taken at this time of day. Good lighting is so much more than full overhead sunshine, just after lunch.

The process in which a treatment is administered might change the way people behave, changing outcomes. Trials with control groups are easier to justify as having avoided these issues.

If you're interested in learning more, I would recommend learning about Judea Pearl's do-calculus, specifically the backdoor criterion. Although it isn't the end-all of causal analysis, it is a very useful non-experimental approach that will help you develop an appreciation for the benefits of controlled experiments.

As far as seat belts go, that's actually been something discussed a bit in economics. The main concern is if adding seat belts changes how people drive (confounding the actual effects of seat belts). The solution was to measure the protective effect of seat belts on occupants of the passenger seat in collisions involving drunk drivers.
Maybe, but then look at Dart - a Google language whose real-world application so far has been the niche of Flutter app development.

I suspect it's a bit more than the Google stamp of approval - the innate simplicity of the language is attractive, it has almost Python-like simplicity without the performance concerns, and it has a "one true way" approach to formatting that settles any bikeshedding arguments in dev teams.

It's not my personal favourite language - the poor error handling discussed in this thread, the mess of the package management system (I mean, Python has a mess of a package management system, but that's more forgivable in a language from the 1990s, not the 2010s), the lack of decent standard library collections, etc. But I can see the appeal.

Startup equity compensation (ESOP) tips and best practices from Vow’s ESOP plan
This is Google, who have a monorepo, who are afraid of the legal risks to the monorepo.

The copyright of the output of these tools is not yet determined, it's a risk.

The advice not to use the tools in a risky way not only directly mitigates the risk but like an "employees must wash hands" sign in a restaurant restroom, it can be seen as a reasonable step that transfers some of the liability to the staff member.

It's not a verdict on the output of the tools, it's a reflection of risk aversion in a monorepo company that is very protective of what is in the monorepo.

I occasionally take a quick <15m nap after lunch. What's interesting is that I don't fall fully asleep - I'm more in a halfway (hypnagogic) state. I'm kind of drifting between states of consciousness. I'm _mostly_ aware I'm reclined on the sofa, and I just let my thoughts go wherever they want. I can start myself on a particular daydream, but pretty quickly my mind wanders off without me realising. Sometimes I can pull it back - I guess as I drift into a bit more consciousness - but soon it's off again as the sleepiness takes hold.

It's a pretty fun experience. The daydreams are wild.
I actually like 2-page display, like an open book.
You might be surprised that the modern processes for true biologicals like peptides and mRNA are actually simpler than the chemical processes for classic drugs. E.g. solid state peptide synthesis. Once you can make a 10 peptide one, you can make a 1000 unit one in an identical way with more iteration.

Compare that to establishing a bespoke chemical process for each drug, or messing with purification of natural biologicals, or fusing antibodies to protein or peptides to grow inside a whole cell.

They should be actually cheap. They aren't because new.

Humira is quite a bit harder to manufacture cleanly than a peptide or mRNA, and still harder than a plain solid state synthesized and folded protein. It requires a lot of post translational modification, which means cellular machinery, which means a whole bacterial cell you now have to grow, feed and remove from the product.
Feels like with every turn of the screw of the copyright inquisition humanity loses out on great advances in favor of lining the corporations' pockets.
"Federated App" sounds odd: protocols are federated, and apparently they are criticized in the article, not software.

The "Learning curve" argument suggests that oligopolies tend to form, so it is not worth bothering. But that applies to pretty much any organizational activity, not just federated protocols, and often people try to push back against oligopolies or monopolies; often it is desirable and possible.

The "Authentication" one only applies to web-based clients, but you can login to remote instances even with those: converse.js supports it for XMPP, for instance. Possibly not in the way the author imagines it should though; perhaps that is closer to OpenID/WebID/OAuth. Still, generally users are not meant to login to every instance directly: even with just Google and Microsoft, you do not login to a Microsoft server to send them a message from your Gmail account, as you do not login into the receiver's email account to place a message for them. Maybe this section should have been titled "learning curve" instead.

The "Search Engine Optimization" probably describes the current state of things (I am not familiar with that), though does not apply to many federated protocols (e.g., I do not want my email or XMPP messages to be SEO'd), and I do not see a technical reason for that when it may be useful (e.g., public blogging or discussions); certainly does not sound like a drawback of federation itself to me, but maybe that of certain search engines' policies.

I personally usually saw discoverability/exploration as the primary issue with both federated and distributed protocols, especially when it comes to social ones, and hoped that RDF with FOAF will help with it. But ActivityPub and Mastodon seem to handle it rather well now, out of fairly widely used protocols.

> Roku doesn't really have a third party app ecosystem

There seem to be a lot of 3rd party apps for it! I even have the SDK for it.
I'm not against it, coercion/bribery always seemed to be a bit of an underwhelming justification for it; I just have a difficult time seeing it being done at scale (at least at the same scale as mutating the records can apparently be done), and like you said, it seems to excessively complicate the task.

Even thinking of the possibilty of self-auditing, it leaves a large hole in the conceptual capability of validating the aggregate numbers.

What I'd like to see is a human-to-human system, even if electronic (a la "venmo me"), where groups of people gather, discuss the issues, and cast their votes to eachother in a tree. The recievers meet and transfer their counts to the root of their branch, and so on to the tree's root.

Every group knows their aggregate count, and even if you made the values of each node in the tree public it may be possible to keep the actual votes private outside of the individuals that make up each of the leafs.

> not to be dependent on oligopolies from a single country, one with poor grasp of and legal enforcement of personal privacy at that.

The oligopolies from a single country might get replaced by groups of instances who will claim they're holders of the Truth and who are the Service, while rest is dangerous. Nothing also stops countries from running own instances or compatible services by dedicated companies or people to either dominate or lure people out of the federation. A good campaign, attractive interface and features and people will follow.

The remaining option is to "run your own instance" but in time when the federation will most likely solidify enough it might be hard to do so. Hard as in getting people to join your new playground. What we're seeing right now it's a boom period.

Don't get me wrong, I do like concept of federated services but there's too many sides where it might fail in long-term and help create a highly tribalized echo-chambered communities
I write a lot of Python too. I've written whole systems in it. Been using it since 1.5.2 days. And before that Perl. I know my way pretty well around sed and awk too and pretty much the entire Unix environment.

These are all just tools. They each have their strengths and weaknesses.

There are times when shell is the best tool for the job and when it is, I prefer to use bash.

If I have to write POSIX shell because it's a constrained environment, sure, I can do it. It's just been something that's rarely been a requirement.
I don't know if that is meant to be tounge in cheek, but for most ears it is physically impossible to discern any broader audio spectrum.
Postgr3s: Tokyo Thread
Neither does Ukraine, apparently. Perhaps because anti-aircraft missiles have finally gotten accurate and reliable enough that human pilots can no longer expect to survive unless they are far from the front lines, which would make Ukraine’s decision to pursue F-16s rather than UCAVs (fighter drones) puzzling.
Studies like this one https://www.sciencenews.org/article/scientists-spinal-fluid-... suggest that visual (at least, and perhaps other) stimulation increases blood flow in the brain, and the lack thereof can increase the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, which flushes out toxic substances. This study was done with waking subjects, but the article points out that the process is much more pronounced in sleep.

Perhaps this process occurs in naps as well, helping to refresh the brain on a biochemical level.

The front page does not give any hint as to how this exchange works or will work. Screenshots of future UI is popular on landing pages, but there are other ways.

The animation apparently only starts when I hover/move my mouse, so I was waiting for a while for nothing to happen.

The background image(s) are quite heavy.

The text is way too small for me to read.

Here's an old principle: Make your front page clearly state what the heck is going on. For example, going to https://www.fsf.org/ you get the very first sentence below the menu: "The Free Software Foundation (FSF) is a nonprofit with a worldwide mission to promote computer user freedom." Or going to https://monta.com/ (a random startup) you get a UI screenshot, a call-to-action button and the first sentence: "Monta is the operating platform powering the EV ecosystem serving drivers, companies, cities, and the electricity grid with one integrated software solution."

You have so many pixels, why do I need to click "Read more" when I could be reading more right away? I am here to sign up, but there's no pitch.
It's always amazed me with databases why they don't go the other way.

Create an operating system specifically for the database and make it so you boot the database.

Databases seem to spend most of their time working around the operating system abstractions. So why not look at the OS, and streamline it for database use - dropping all the stuff a database will never need.

That then is a completely separate project which is far easier to get started rather than shoehorning the database into an operating system thread model that is already a hack of the process model.

This is a fundamental problem with capitalism for which various band aids have been tried but no real solution has been found IMO.

Capitalism gives stuff according to one’s production, where one’s production is judged in a distributed way by others in the society (subject to various flaws and exploits, of course).

The question is - what do we do with the people whose production (again, as judged by others in society, not in any absolute sense) does not cross the threshold to get enough stuff to live?

We need to tack on some extra subsystem which generally has not integrated well with capitalism in terms of scalability, distribution of judgement, etc.

We should be looking for a decentralized fix of some sort, ideally, in the way that capitalism itself is decentralized. Any ideas?
