I think the reality is that faster startup, smaller deployments, and lower memory usage is considered much more valuable today than it was when GCJ was an actively maintained project. It simply did not offer things people needed at that time. But now, the tradeoffs are different, and so the effort of going back and modifying existing code to support AOT compilation has a greater overall payoff than it did in the past, which is why people are pursuing it. It's the same reason .NET is adding full AOT support - because people want it now, and they want it now more than they did before.

Stopping someone from making a digital parody of someone else gets closer to free speech territory and is a lot more complicated.

This statement is hilarious because we cannot even do the former for schoolchildren, let alone the latter. Between casual bullying resulting in fatalities due to the utter disinterest of the administration at play, to school shootings where police cower outside while someone murders children en masse.

Apparently being a child now is just grounds to have people make pornography of you, bully you relentlessly, with the distinct possibility you might die in a hail of gunfire one day for literally no reason.

No wonder the birth rate has cratered.

> I have a feeling you're going to have a problem with any kind of "general" technology in the future.

I can agree to the argument that "everything can be used in a bad way". But that is not my point.

My point is: is any technology always worth existing? As a thought experiment, I can easily imagine a technology that would only be useful for torture, and I would consider it fundamentally evil. To the point where I would not want this technology to exist at all.

If you agree with that, then it means that it is possible to imagine a technology that should not exist. And consequently, it raises the question for every new technology: should this one exist, or not?
Life's Hard Knocks: How Adversities Reshape Our Brain's Future
It's imperative to recognize the distinction between 'undetectable' and 'nonexistent.' The mere fact that variations were indiscernible does not negate their existence. Rather, it underscores the diffusion of individuals across diverse channels, which may inherently obfuscate discernible patterns. This does not serve as incontrovertible evidence, but merely a testament to the complexity of data distribution among various outlets.
Show HN: Dynohot – Hot module reloading for Node.js
This is a nodejs loader I made which implements hot module reloading [also known as HMR]. This has been a huge missing piece in the nodejs ecosystem for a long time in my opinion.

If you're developing an API server in nodejs it's a huge quality of life improvement over something like nodemon. Instead of sending a SIGTERM to your process and restarting from scratch, dynohot can replace only the modules which have been updated. It's really just so much faster, you have to see it to believe it.

Also if you're using Webpack to run SSR in something like a React it's helpful too. I found Webpack to be pretty messy on the server side. Since this implements essentially the same API as Webpack and Vite the switch is pretty easy.

Well the overhead doesen't really matter that much, who cares if you have to wait 10ms or 100ms etc. So yeah rewriting the Python bits is not worth it.

It's an entirely different use case though. In game dev you need fit your frame into 16ms or 32ms and you calling the methods hundreds or thousands of times every second etc. it all adds up.
What, are you expecting to do it, like, overnight? Depp's ordeal lasted years. I think in the end he got one million from Amber Heard, after losing maybe 50/ 80 million for movies he was removed from, plus the reputational damage, plus the psychological damage of being considered violent and abusive for years, plus having to go through two trials (one in England, at the end of which Heard's allegations were declared true), etc. Maybe Brand will do exactly what Depp did. But even if after years he turns out to be innocent, the damage- as in Depp's case- will never be undone.
We've tightened up the numbers a bit, but it's pretty close to a honest amount. 4m would put us well into profitable S1 production + enough runway to develop the next iteration territory.

> I've also seen a16z invest in far less (pitch decks and hand-wave demos). So my read on the feedback is they've made too much progress on one front (enough to show a16z that they're not a compelling seed investment) but not enough progress on the other front (enough to warrant a PMF A round). Doesn't seem like a fun spot to be in.

That's how I feel as well, given feedback from other VCs we've applied at. Amplify told us roughly "too big for a seed, too small for a series A" after five meetings or so.
My car has lane centering and radar cruise control. I use it frequently on dry, well-marked highways. It allows me to drive with less mental energy because I don’t have to steer the car or maintain speed.

My hands are always on the wheel and I’m still watching everything as if I was driving. It does a good job under ideal conditions.

This may not seem like much but it adds up over a multi-hour trip.

In rain or snow, I tend to avoid any automation to keep continuous awareness of how much traction my tires have. Too many people have died when automation hides problems until failure and then squishy thing behind the controls gets surprised.

Not understanding that and why a thing is temporarily intractable is the first step in making it permanently intractable.

> Example: the right to choose an abortion could have been codified into law for decades, but the risk of losing the right to an abortion was more valuable to Democratic leadership. Source: Andrew Yang

Andrew Yang is an idiot and/or liar on politics. Codifying the right ti abortion is a feelgood measure some Democrats wave around, but its never been a serious priority because it only slightly improves things while the Constitutional right itself stands (by providing wehatever additional recourse or sanction is in the statute), but fails as soon as the Constitutional right fails, because the only plausible argument for a federal power to protect the right to abortion is the enforcement clause of the 14th Amendment, which fails as soon as abortion is not within the scope of 14th Amendment rights already Constitutionally protected against state encroachment. Its not even a little bit of protection against a Supreme Court that would strike down abortion as a Constitutional right.

How uniform is the format of your dataset? Current AI tools should be pretty good at direct transformations.

If you want to generate queries, though, my guess is another 2-3 years before it's solid enough for your domains with high correctness requirements, like fintech.
None of this ever happens if you use an RDBMS and put everything in strongly typed columns, regardless of how or where you are generating the forms or UI (backend or front end). They can be stored encrypted with a js/user-only #fragment if you don’t want the server to see the data.

The incompatibility lies with it being unenforceable at scale even if illegal. Religious blasphemy is not legal in many countries. Sharing pirated content is not legal in many countries, but we all are on the same internet. Trying to lock up millions of people anonymously sharing data globally that is not even universally illegal is an absurd enforcement problem.

At some point enforcement becomes impossible without killing access to a free anonymous internet entirely.

Most of them were probably from other countries, but I know of at least one Singaporean lady with a fake western name. In her case the parents had arranged the syllables of her Chinese name into a European-sounding combination (quite clever IMHO and more authentic than a name from the "catalogue").

Indeed. But beyond that, I first visited the UK in the late 1990s and found that a lot of the pub culture I had learned from 20th-century literature, film, or even supposedly contemporary episodes of Eastenders was already out of date. The merger of pubs into large chains, and the importance of serving food to ensure profitability, also came as big surprises. And by the first decade of the new millennium, it really did seem like every service staff I interacted with on brief forays to the UK was Polish, Lithuanian, or Latvian.
Oracle offers the JDK under two licenses, one of them is the same license under which all other vendors offer our software: https://jdk.java.net

The fact is that if you're using Java these days (or for the past 13 years), you're using Oracle software under a license issued to you by Oracle, regardless of which website you download it from. If you want the support or advice of the people who, you know, actually develop the software then you'll need to talk to Oracle people, and those who want their software to be supported by the people who write it are those who fund the development of OpenJDK. You're welcome, by the way.
It's a fair question! There are a lot of perks to splitting up your change into multiple PRs rather than one feature branch. You can parallelize getting reviewed while writing more code. If CI fails, it fails on a more narrowly scoped change and is easier to debug. If something about one of your changes is unmergable, you may still be able to merge in half of your stack, rather than your change being all-or-nothing.

A lot of the benefits remind me of other dag-based workflows, like CI, data pipelines, or build systems. Does that make sense?

Pretty sure most studies about the effects of coffee and red wine are flawed.
A shocking number of people who work with software that handles money are just winging it. I worked on a project once that handled payment processing functionality for other products at the company (it was a B2B SaaS where clients could take payments through our software). We also handled payments related billing, since the clients would owe fees to us and to our payments gateway for their transactions.

The payments gateway we worked with calculated their fees to a thousandth of a cent, but of course we could only bill whole cents. So basically every billing period there would be a < $0.01 balance due that carried over to the next bill, and every so often the carryover would add up to a full cent that needed to be charged. When we implemented our MVP we (engineering) explained this to the product and business teams, and it blew their minds. Our suggestion was to have a tooltip on the 1 cent charge with a link to a help article explaining how the accounting worked, but they were strongly against it and had us list the 1 cent as something like "other fees" with no explanation. They seemed convinced it was a thing that would happen only rarely, even as we were telling them otherwise. Anyway, that 1 cent charge just infuriated clients for some reason, and every month or two we'd get bug reports about it or requests to explain why it kept showing up. Fun times...
I covered mine with a bit of post-it note. I'm sure masking tape would do the trick as well.
It’s a cult of identity. If you say you are a Musk/Trump/Whoever fan and make that a core of who you are, and then they do something bad, that might transfer to your identity. Better to constantly refute than take damage to your own identity. Better to lash out than look inside.
In any case, I think we can all agree that one shouldn't compare cryptocurrency to a perpetual motion machine. It's a real technology, with real utility for the people whose problems it solves.
Honestly you’re damned no matter which move you make unless you have the dedicated teams to build out for every platform.

If you build for native Mac, windows and Linux users will be disappointed they can’t use it.

If you build it using electron (or similar) so that you can support all these platforms, lots will complain that it is bloated.

If you built it as a desktop app then those who want it on mobile will complain.

I do think web apps, especially with the power of PWAs, are the best starting point for most projects unless you know it obviously won’t be a fit. It isn’t going to make everyone happy, but at least it does give you the widest coverage of where people can use it.
Yes, I understand what you are saying, I was highlighting that those (if adopted) would only fix (maybe) part of the problem, they are just (better) tools.

At the end of the day what I want (and I presume any other customer wants) is a correct invoice with the correct net, tax and total, and this will only happen when (if) the programmer understands the base issues and uses the correct library/algorithm/whatever.

France is a bit different as the State has a lot of power there, and has had for a very long time.

There is a strong culture of adding new laws and requiring the State to solve every minor problem through repression and incentives. This culture is shared by the elites and the plebs, it's an alternative of learned helplessness.
For me personally I think it is less that this behaviour is on the rise, but that I’m getting older and it bothers me more.

> However, the biggest problem is the massive losses caused by changing laser light to electricity and back across multiple hops.

Perhaps they could eliminate this issue by designing the machine at the destination to run directly off of laser light. For example one could imagine a jet engine that swaps out a combustion chamber for a heat exchanger that a high power laser keeps at high temperature. Similarly laser light can be used for remote temperature regulation. Feed it into a photonic circuit for control and computation. Illumination is trivial. The only big power draw I can think of that would be tough to do directly is mechanical actuation.
As someone who doesn't use jq, a number of questions immediately jump out at me. Why is the input string double qouted ('"input"')? What does the backslash annotate? At first it looks like an escape similar to regex, but the other bracket doesn't have it so it must mean something else? Etc. Of course I could look the answers up, but the point is I can't tell without looking it up. While the code is short it feels similar to Awk, if you know it it's trivial, if you don't know it it's hard to be sure what it does without trying it out.
