Not much, I guess. It's basically writing some scripts that will take the code base of some of the available high quality pascal projects, and then depending on what is available extract/merge documentation available as PDF, PasDoc, RTF, .HLP or method/function source code comments.

I would assume that one of my devs could write the needed scripts in three weeks or so.

So, basically a budget of <$5000.

For me - due to missing competence - the actual challenge would be to get a sample on how training data should optimally look like (for example the Python training set), and someone doing the actual training. For a newbie to get up the required level of competence surely will take more than three weeks.

Not really, commercial Hashi products are closed-source, too.
What's needed to counter these is for customers to have their own contract of adhesion that simply says if the company is to accept them as a customer, then the company's own contract is null-and-void. This would be backed by a legal team in something like a customer's union or insurance that people would subscribe to for a monthly fee. This contract would be as enforceable (or not) as the company's, leveling the playing field. It would no longer matter what they put in their fine print since you wouldn't need to read it.

If a company doesn't accept the customer's contract or won't let you bypass their own, you walk away -- no sale. Other companies will get your business.
Yeah for that subscription service for tv-series and movies seems really great way to increase value. As we see with Disney+ etc how profitable it really is.

> [T]he recourse is the legal system for identity fraud.

Is it though? Are there sets of federal or state laws [in the United States] that say you must never misrepresent your identity to a private party (X) if they ask for it? Wouldn't their recourse just be their ToS? What if a retail store clerk asked you when buying toothpaste? I suppose the law would probably be around the fake identities themselves? (e.g. creating a fake driver's license) But that would still be up to the state to prosecute, right?

I presume there are of course laws about misrepresenting your identity to the government, but now I am curious to what extent that's the case for private parties.

(I don't know much about the law in this area)
Yes. I think it's just a highlight. The HTML doesn't look like it's trying to be a link or anything.

I maintain that python and javascript are semantically the same thing in terms of the properties that make ahead of time compilation

With respect, this attitude goes back at least 15 years, and usually comes from compiler people who don't understand Python very well, and the way people use it to solve problems in context.

The problem is very well studied, and your comments indicate that you haven't studied the prior art -- PyPy, Unladen Swallow, Jython/IronPython, Pyston, more recently Cinder and Skybison -- which are DIRECTLY from the v8 lineage.

---

To be clear, what I'm saying is that it's certainly possible to make a v8-like implementation for a Python-like language.

But the "like" is doing a lot of work there, and is the difference between the language being practical, and not practical.

So I think you're a compiler person who has an image of "Python" in his head, which is not Python.

That's not really a knock, because everybody who has tried to optimize Python starts from that position. I think even the Mojo team is, and they know way more about compilers than me -- but less about Python.

My guess is that they will succeed at producing something very interesting and useful in 5-10 years, but either renege on the Python compatibility promises, rewrite NumPy/Pandas themselves, or maintain a bridge to stock CPython forever.

Although I also think your comments indicate a fairly big misunderstanding of what Mojo is.
> Recently I (new to it myself) introduced Terraform on my team at work (my department historically mostly uses CloudFormation), and this whole license rug pull left me wondering if I'd made a mistake.

Personally I wouldn't sweat it.

TF as a tool (not original vs fork) has hit what I think is critical mass, it can't fail. If folks agree the fork is better from a licensing / management level then everyone will use the fork in the end. If not, the original will win. If both tools remain backwards compatible then most end users won't notice the difference.

I think this is a really interesting time. We're getting to witness in real-time how much individuals and businesses value licenses, or specifically what happens when a mature project changes its license.

NOTE: I don't have any tools or services that compete with TF. I'm coming at this as an end user. I contributed once but it was mainly around documentation.

I don't think that's true. "Right to erasure" still works just as well as it always has, but you might need to ask the folks who have scraped and are re-sharing your information to also delete your personal data. That's not an unreasonable thing to have happen, nor is it an unreasonable thing to expect.

Let's suppose an embarrassing image of Person X is shared on Facebook and Person X uses their right to erasure with Facebook to delete their profile. Facebook has no control over the folks who may have downloaded or screenshot-ed that photo and turned it into subsequent memes. Likewise, if someone straight up scrapes and re-shares, that's not Facebook responsibility.

What I don't want to see happen is for:

1. Facebook to make it somehow impossible for anyone to ever copy or screenshot that or any photo, preventing anyone from ever doing anything with photos on Facebook without Facebook's explicit permission. This would seem to be quite the loss of user agency for very little society wide benefit (also, how would they do this?)

2. Facebook to somehow "control" that photo so closely that Facebook is able to remotely revoke folk's copies and screenshots of said photo in the spirit of "abiding by a persons right to erasure"; that'd be a huge overreach, but seems like the only other way to approach this (though "how" is also an open question).

Even asserting that "unlimited scraping makes some privacy regulations moot" seems like an implication that we can only have privacy laws by going towards situation #1, and that doesn't seem accurate given that folks can use existing privacy laws to remove content from any distributor (as long as they're compliant).
Well if they were really for productivity they would have made all their software offerings over the last 20 years cross platform in order to allow users of other systems to feel such amazing productivity boosts. But they didnt, they walled it off and made mac's about as incompatible and hard to work with for any other device (android,windows,linux) as they possibly could.

Proof in case, I can plug an android phone into a windows or linux os device and have zero problems yeeting files around and doing stuff off the block with zero input from me for drivers or some fancy app to let me get to the data. I cant do this with an iphone. The most simple act of using a phone as a physical storage device to get something from point a to b....near impossible on apple hardware. Meanwhile its been stock standard functionality for about 15+ years on other devices.

I went through the earlier process of objecting to personal data processing.

Since then, my feed has been 25% videos of trains and model railways, 50% vaguely sexist or sexual jokes (blondes, 'little Johnny' etc) or cartoons, 25% posts from random Anglophone police forces showing them catching speeding cars, or advising to use seatbelts.

As a whole I think it's good evidence that they no longer use anything they know about me to show the adverts.
The main reason is that the processor was never JS-native. First Python, then Ruby, and then it got transpiled all over. Sure, today Asciidoctor.js is damn slick, but it took a while, and Opal.js has had some rough shakes.

The second reason - and a close tie with above - is that features aren't free. *Asciidoc is more complex than Markdown*, no way around that. The fact that you can also monkey around with transclusion and conditionals doesn't help things either - you can really dig yourself into a hole with transclusion unless you plan things very very carefully.

Digression: I want to expand on that point a moment. Document engineers have known that transclusion+conditionals were problematic functionality since 1994; it's why HTML never got transclusion as a core function, it breaks natural language documents. All the DITA/xinclude/"content re-use" people came from outside the initial technical GML/SGML group, and DITA architects were exclusively polisci/psych/pedagogical academics. There were some raised voices in the late 90s/early aughts, which we're still paying for to this day. Note that Antora - the Asciidoc build system - has an "opinionated" architecture, it's for this same reason: managing the complexity of transclusion. OK, digression over.

The third reason is the name. All due respect, but "asciidoc" is kind of meaningless, they'd have been better off drawing a clearer line between Asciidoc and DocBook. Something like LiteBook, or DocDown. "Asciidoc" though, makes a connotation that the central feature is the text encoding, and that's not really a substantial selling point. Having that DocBook lineage is; that's like Return of the King kind of lineage, if Aragorn had been lost in the XML wilds and then returned to the old design philosophy of GondorML to marry a hot elf.
Not your mother, not your milk.
I will admit though, it being from Determinate Systems makes me wonder why they built it. They're not some hobbyists, they're a company built around making Nix tooling - and one of their most publicized tools, the Determinate Nix Installer, is actually a tool that, obviously, overlaps with existing tools, but has a very clearly stated objective and reason to exist. It seems very likely to me that there is, in fact, a reason for why they built this. If I had to guess, it's probably meant to be simpler, more robust, more elegant, etc. but I'd love to hear about it.

Unfortunately, unlike many of their projects, they don't seem to have a blog post yet for it.

I think the real world use cases for an iPad are slightly broader, but not by much. My partner uses one to make digital art; it also has a relatively decent camera, some apps for video/audio production (like Final Cut/Logic), it's also better than a phone at being an SSH terminal... But the creative applications end somewhere around right there.

It's an appliance. An appliance with mind-boggingly awesome specs - if it were a computer - but it's just that, an appliance closer in spirit to a microwave than to a PC. Treat it as such, and it will be one of the best appliances you'll ever own; but to expect it to be a computer is to set oneself up to be disappointed.

I'm more than happy with it for what it is, but don't mistake it for what it's not.
My family wasn't rich and we had a "connected computer" in 97/98 before ad-tech really took over. Getting online was far less costly than the computer itself.
HN’s anti-Apple stance is getting tiring.

Don’t like them? Don’t use them. It’s not hard.
At the same time though, limited tools can lead to creativity. I know we're in the company of coders with complex workflows, but using and understanding a limited tool well to the point where you can max it out can be better than living with a "long tail" of untapped power and productivity. Strange though, how the iPad is ostensibly a much better device given the touchscreen and keyboard (and now pencil) and yet remains somehow less useful than a MacBook. Might also be an issue of perception that the iPad can't do certain things well, when it almost can. From a user standpoint, having a device that really is like an appliance that never blinks or goes wrong is pretty brilliant. Windows has let me down on that front too many times for too many years, and now the only time I use it I live in a web browser 99.9% of the time (in a university library)...
A basic iPad as a reasonably priced (~$300-$500) media consumption device is fantastic. The problem is that's not what Apple is selling it as anymore. Look up all their advertising from the last few years and they barely even acknowledge that price point. Instead you will see all the "Pro" models, fancy accessories, M1/M2 chips, LiDAR, terabytes of storage and prices eclipsing that of mid-range MacBooks. Everyone I know who ate up the advertising and bought $1500+ iPads as a primary or secondary productivity device is now regretting it as they either lay unused or are glorified Netflix and Facebook tablets.
I don't understand the coloring of the image. It looks like there's a huge range in color from 25-50, but 50-100 and 100-150 look almost the same.
I mean, I lack a government ID, and it'd be nearly impossible for me to get one, so yeah.
Apple will never intentionally prolong upgrade cycles for expensive laptops by offering you a cheaper device that can “do everything.”

If that were the case, they’d be making much more money from laptops than from iPads, right?

If they were making just as much money from iPads, though, it would make sense to make the iPad as good as possible. Cannibalizing Mac sales wouldn’t be a big deal.

Per the Six Colors breakdown of Apple’s financial results (https://sixcolors.com/post/2023/08/charts-apple-q3-2023-resu...) Macs and iPads accounted for 8% and 7% of their revenue.

The iPad was conceived as a media consumption device, sitting between a phone and a laptop. Steve Jobs said this at the beginning.

They’ve gone back on plenty of things Steve Jobs said (in many cases, Jobs himself was the one who did it).

I don’t think they have a religious objection to making the iPad useful, as you seem to be saying; I think they think they are making it useful, that the current design (including its limitations) is the best compromise.
