It’s a very simple and explicit language that is easy to write high performance code with and can be used as high level, portable assembly which integrates easily with actual assembly due to a simple and stable ABI. It compiles extremely quickly, its tooling is mature and robust, and you can write it for any platform and do basically everything with it because it is a lingua franca where almost everything has a native API that uses the C ABI.

C’s type system is lacking, I wish it was more strict, and sometimes I wish it had some features from C++ (operator overloading for mathematical types, templates for generic programming) and features of other languages (multiple return values especially), but overall I’m okay with its limitations and have become used to working around them. Sometimes I compile C code with a C++ compiler just to take advantage of stricter typing, templates, etc. but for a lot of projects this isn’t a necessity.
I remember something about Aljazeera around ten years ago where Aljazeera America (AJAM) was remove from cable TV networks in the US. Something to do with their affiliation with middle eastern countries I think. I’m not sure that’s enough reason to dismiss them completely.

Anyway, what you say makes sense, but I just don’t think many people drop $50/month on that stuff. They don’t see the value, and continue to feed Facebook.
It would be interesting to see if AI became antivaxer which we do see in some doctors of today.
Of course we all know that no lead exposure is safe, but it's also important to consider the historical context: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2118631119

Leaded gasoline caused almost the entire population to be exposed to high amounts of lead (by today's standards). These wires pale in comparison and it might be worth asking whether this is the best place to focus our attention.

For example rather than replace all the cables, would more lives be saved and cities be better off spending that money on bike paths and other infrastructure to promote exercise? Probably.
Seems fine to me :shrug: as long as you know that using yield changes the ‘def’ to return a generator. It’s a bit of syntactic sugar but simple enough to follow.

I work fulltime at a Web3 startup & have been for almost 5 years, and we're building a non-custodial smart contract wallet + everything else you need for web3 SDK & a trading card game using web3 tech.

A sentence that also applies to CSS. Declarative systems for design tend to fail.

First of all, I love such perspectives. Could anyone point me to more similar things (describing the business worlds elsewhere)?

Aside from corruption, funding etc. the author is in a veritable smorgasbord. There are countless unsolved problems in the local market because few seek to address them. Instead of competing with a thousand other startups for a reddit clone or some sort of dev tooling, he could concentrate on solving day to day struggles of the average Tunisian, transforming people's lives through tech.

Indeed, that's what the startups in the incubator were doing! But instead of embracing that, he seems to complain that they don't want VC funding, they don't want to scale to the whole world? And then complains about how it's difficult for them to get VC funding... How strange and circular this logic!

In Eastern Europe or Latin America, many companies grew quickly doing this a few decades ago - developing alternative payment systems etc. to bank the unbanked as aogaili alludes to. How amazing it would be if today we had the chance to develop new infrastructure on which future products would be built! Alas, everything seems done and ossified. How green the grass on the other side is...
> So, setting aside the need to maintain 30+ year old code, what would be modern reasons to start a new project in C?

C code written today will still be runnable 30+ years from now, and likely on whatever platform you're using, unlike code written in some flavor of the month language. C is standardized, has been ported to every architecture, and is easy to port in general, and there's so much code that's already been written in it that the inertia behind it is virtually insurmountable. I've invested significant time in other language ecosystems (like Perl, coincidentally also on the front page) only to see them eventually declared "uncool" (however productive) and killed-off by faddish HN types. But I'm confident they won't have similar success against C.

C is the real Hundred Year Language: http://www.paulgraham.com/hundred.html

Your reasoning is very flawed for a single reason. If by let’s say 2075 the population was reduced to 1975 levels, the demographics would still differ widely.

1. Age distribution would look like an inverted pyramid instead of a pyramid

2. The geographical, racial/ethnical and cultural demographics would also look like the totally different. The share of global population of the global south, which is currently highly dysfunctional, would be drastically more important, especially in the younger age groups.

Note that the increase of wealth of the “third world” is mainly due to China / India, followed a bit by Indonesia / Bangladesh / Vietnam. Nearly all of them have already a TFR < 2.1

Other countries’ economies even lost complexity and the share of their economies that are basically commodity exports increased

Even though AI is hot, I think, raising a 2M+ seed round in the current market still requires having a prototype and some paying customers (or LOI), especially for the first time founders.
At the end of the day, the goal is to build a strong business so your earlier point about having a clear vision of the initial product before jumping ship makes sense.
For some, it might be easier and cheaper to get an Apple Vision Pro-specific prescription and contact lenses than to update the lenses in the device, assuming you're ok with contacts.
This is true, but if he had documented anything then he would have become significantly more replaceable.

So replaceable in fact that the company wouldn't have had to hire me at great expense and could have got a normal developer in to take over and continue.

Maybe I'm just extremely jaded since my job is fixing messes left by people with more style than sense but I see striving for uniqueness to be a flaw in an engineer.
Actually, that's not a bad idea. Surveying founders at 5, 10, and 15 years after founding whether they were happy with the outcome could be enlightening. A little bit like the 7-up documentary series. It would be very interesting to see which path tends to provide the best outcomes according to the founders.
Yes, because shipping a new product at volume is child’s play. Sony still can’t manufacture enough PS5’s to keep them in stock.

Surely you understand that not all projects use semver. When projects that do not use semver have version numbers that communicate nothing, that's not a failure of semver. Indeed, you have accurately derived the reason why semver exists: because it would be useful for version numbers to have known semantics. The above comment is, seemingly by accident, an argument in favor of semver.

> It's exactly the other way around. It's lay people using 'relative' to mean 'subjective'.

I've actually found the opposite - people will often use "subjective" when they really mean "relative". They often unwittingly imply the relation to culture. I think it's far more rare to find a lay person using the term "subjective" to precisely refer to the philosophical meaning of the word.

> And lay people use 'objective' to mean 'universal', which it doesn't. Cultural relativism is consistent with an objective metaethics.

It's true there is a distinction there between "objective" and "universal", but do you feel that in most contexts, when someone says "objective" they are also implying "universal" and the onus is on them to elaborate on the distinction when that implication doesn't hold? (I guess asking for both the case of lay people and the one for philosophers).

> How is the country continuing to produce so much output when its mechanism for generating that output (its people) is in such dire straights?

That's because it's not the people educated by the U.S. systems that are producing so much. I worked at a FANG company and within my team of 50 engineers, I was one of two people who were born in the U.S. It's not just tech either — my father is a chemical engineer and most of the engineers he works with are from other countries.

The U.S. is currently still one of the top places that the world's best talent wants to move to; whether that continues to hold true remains to be seen.

> The true web3 players will be traditional finance companies upgrading their settlement systems.

1000%. The one place where I think blockchain and crypto can have real utility is from large, legacy financial institutions upgrading their very, very, very antiquated backend settlement technology and processes.

Of course, backend enterprise tech is pretty "boring", and the transition will take many years/decades given that our existing financial system currently depends on these old settlement systems that are based on manual, file based-processes from the first half of the last century. This is not the kind of technology transition likely to attract celebrity endorsements or bubblicious "crypto towns" like Miami and Austin.
There's not really much to the minimum and maximum modes. You can think of it as multiplexers on the relevant pins, selecting the signal for the appropriate mode. (Of course, the logic isn't quite that clean but that's the basic idea.)

You're arguing with economics here...

https://news.stanford.edu/2022/09/06/what-causes-inflation/

Inflation rises when the Federal Reserve sets too low of an interest rate or when the growth of money supply increases too rapidly – as we are seeing now, says Stanford economist John Taylor.

> In this sense communism has never been tried anywhere yet

From my knowledge of European history, this is not true.

Marx also said that there should be a dictatorship of the proletariat, who should seize the means of production.

The difficulty is, is that absolute power corrupts absolutely, to steal a phrase.

The worker's union movement working inside a capitalist system has brought more benefits for workers, than communism, which proved to kill millions wherever it is attempted.
As described during the keynote, they’re magnetically held in place. You would need one set per user.

As someone that wears glasses with VR, it’s awful. The light gasket presses against them, gets tangled. The band presses against them. I can see why they didn’t bother making it an option, since I often put my headset away because of the discomfort. This is why the quest pro has optional light blockers, and why I never use mine. Leaving enough room for comfortably wearing glasses would make things huge.
Just wanted to let you know that I added that feature. Hope it helps.

A lot of medicine is about pattern recognition and in that sense this could help just as it does for software development by boosting newer doctors who are early in their careers and building their intuition.

Once you're in the VC cycle though not being able to raise another round when you need it is a 100% decrease in your chance of success. So I'm not sure if that follows for any but the first. Essentially you need to keep raising until you either reach profitability at scale, are acquired or IPO, and even the latter won't help you if you aren't eventually profitable.
