It's fast compared to other dynamically typed language implementations but it's still very slow compared to basically all of the popular statically typed languages.

You're confusing static typing with the existence of a type system. As an example, Julia has a rich type system, but the language is dynamically typed.

That's fair, we are on mostly American website after all!

I'm just traveling through France and saw on the news that a woman disappeared. They are trying to find her by triangulating the last location based on nearby cell towers of where she was last seen. So even giant European countries can't/don't use facebook/google to locate people.
And the most common refrain is a paraphrase on "We don't know why we're climbing this ladder, but we're climbing it too slowly!"
It means we require people to physically be located in the US, but no citizenship requirement.

I'm a consumer who uses Amazon for 90% of their online shopping and let me tell you: I'm not doing it because Amazon is cheap. In recent years more often than not, Amazon isn't actually the cheapest option except for the occasional deal for a subpar product they want to remove from their inventory (but these would be cheap in brick and mortar stores too). Even the deals are largely bogus: "Prime Day" largely exists to buy Amazon equipment at a more reasonable price point and the rest of the time the deals are either for "stocking fillers" (i.e. the kind of stuff you'd find in the discount bin at the supermarket) or noname white label dropshipping products you can barely tell apart from the real deal until they arrive.

I don't use Amazon because it's cheap. I use it because it's convenient. I can do 99% of my non-groceries shopping on Amazon and I get 30 day free returns on most products and next day delivery for some of them, not to mention free shipping on most things I buy (or near-free shipping if you consider the cost of Prime).

What's been pushing me away from Amazon recently is that they're not very good (or even increasingly worse) for some categories of products and in many cases search results are cluttered by Chinese dropshipping products to the point I can't find trustworthier brands at all or for categories I'm less familiar with have to do research to figure out which brands actually exist outside of Amazon's Chinese dropshipping hell. And again because of the free returns (and in the case of non-free returns the A-to-Z guarantee still often resulting in free returns or full refunds) this is not a cost issue but more about the reduction in convenience.

Mind you, I live in Germany and German Amazon is likely different. But Amazon is still the biggest online retailer here despite not being the cheapest. Arguably it still maintains the illusion of being the cheapest because of the free shipping (if you pay for Prime) and the constant barrage of "deals".

The first time I saw this pattern play out was with CSS vs table layouts.

A lot of web devs these days don't remember a time before CSS but, back then, we used to use tables for page layout. This was really an abuse of the `table` element of HTML, which was designed to display tabular data, but it was basically the only way to achieve many layouts like having a side menu bar, for example.

Abusing `table` was bad for many reasons, including accessibility. People started to care about the semantic web and remembered that HTML is a markup language for content, not a style language for layout. So people advocated for using CSS for layout and reserving `table` for actual table data.

But gradually this rule became both simpler and more ridiculously followed. People started talking about "using divs instead of table". They would look at a page source and if they saw `div` it would get a nod, but if they saw `table` the developer would be relentlessly abused because `table` is old-fashioned. Eventually, of course, someone reinvented tables using divs and CSS.

And then people realised the pendulum had swung too far.

> Canada is in a constant struggle to localize and protect local culture. And in the process there are often dubious monopolistic forces that inject themselves into that process.

I'd argue monopolistic control is the goal. The latest CRTC regulations seems a fairly straight-forward cash grab to prop up legacy media companies that would otherwise fail for their lack of competitiveness. Further, the process of putting out these regulations has been appallingly undemocratic. Bill C-11, like its predecessor Bill C-10, were not allowed to be debated in the house (only the 3rd time such a motion has been used in Canada)[0].

And lets be real, its not the average Canadian that benefits here. Its the owners and shareholders of the companies.

That must be it - the first pressing of the olives for extra virgin, as I was sure there was a 'first' something.

Interesting this definition is slightly different from that in the article, a different epistemology: The first pressing would require trust (however arrived at) in a supply chain to declare, the second measuring the resulting product (positivist trust by measurement); the first encouraging diversity (artisanry?) perhaps over a less diverse (more verifiable?) final product with the second.

Thanks for your answer. And to the several other commenters.
I haven't moved any goalposts. I never said an ideology has to be murderous to be an ideology. Something being an ideology is not automatically a negative. I also never said that ideologies must be "railed against."

Regardless of what you think, or how I present my argument, the fact is that hateful incel communities tend to produce hateful, antisocial people. They do not attempt to raise each other up because they aren't there to be raised up -- they are there to feel one with a community that understands their pain. That pain is real, and it causes people to lash out. When these people DO lash out, the incel community often considers them a martyr.

If you can't recognize that as an ideology adopted because the people in pain gather together, it seems like it's either because you don't want to, or you aren't arguing in good faith in the first place. I recognize their pain. I recognize the human connection they crave and partially sate by being part of an online community of fellow lonely men. I recognize the powerlessness they feel when faced with society belittling them and their pain. Desperate, powerless people tend to make the most unhinged decisions because that's all they feel is left for them.

You are the other person. Come back in six months needing to make a change, and it's almost like you're new to the code.

Now, in general, I agree with you. If it's a one-off (or if it's really never going to need maintenance), and if it's small enough that you don't need types while writing it, then sure, do whatever is easiest at the time. But "never going to need maintenance" often turns out to be a lie, and when that time comes, you may be happy for some types as signposts to give a hint of what you were thinking all those months or years ago.
That is a very original take, but I think you have it reversed. Typing removes the possibility of _some_ errors. Those are tests you do not _need_ to write (you can still write them if you want), thus having more time and attention to write tests that matter. Typing is a baseline, and anything over that baseline you can deal with with tests.

It is like the things you already trust when you code. Let's say, that the file system works, that the network stack of your OS works, or that the cpu works. You can rely on them to use your time for the things that matter. This is a much better model than simply testing everything yourself since, as the tests number increase, any change to the codebase involves more and more test changes.

> Strong static typing is useful in the environment where the code is not adequately tested. That's because tests adequate to make the code bulletproof will also detect the problems strong static typing could detect, rendering SST superfluous.

Your logic is the same as follows: seat belts are useful in an environment where drivers are not driving adequately. That's because adequate drivers will drive in a way to avoid any danger that the seat belt would prevent, rendering seat belts superfluous.

Ultimately, the problem is adequate drivers (as in described above) or bulletproof tests do not exist, they are just a concept. A test can prove the presence of an error, not the lack of errors, and the argument only works in absolutes.

Exactly this. J and Uiua along with APL for me are very expressive. It doesn't take long to become comfortable with the glyphs. Sad to say, BQN's approach resonated with me, however, some subjective bias in me, didn't feel warm and fuzzy about the glyphs. And that's saying a lot, since I am good with J's ASCII noise, APL's glyphs, and now Uiua's glyphs. Sorry, Marshall! BQN is incredible. Maybe I had some sort of PTSD from my days at the Brooklyn Museum and some weird confluence of hieroglyphics and BQN glyphs!

Rancid doesn't mean "completely rotten" even though some people use the term to only mean that. From wikipedia:

> Rancidification is the process of complete or incomplete autoxidation or hydrolysis of fats and oils when exposed to air, light, moisture, or bacterial action, producing short-chain aldehydes, ketones and free fatty acids.[1]

> When these processes occur in food, undesirable odors and flavors can result.

The end stage you describe is accurate, but since it's a process, people will call it rancid before the end stage. Further, since there is a large subjective factor in whether a flavor is undesirable, there are folks who will be more or less tolerant of those flavors - some folks will think the oil is fine or maybe a little stale, while others will be extremely sensitive gag at the same oil.

Compare meat: there are people who think aged beef tastes rotten while others consider it a delicacy.
> It's the opposite of what you're saying. Sellers not selling particular items on Amazon is good for consumers who are price conscious,

Sellers don't just 'not sell this item on Amazon', because it is the largest single market. This is like, the whole issue in question.

> because if they need that particular item they will search for it and find it cheaper on another store, strengthening that one and hurting Amazon.

This is the exact thing that isn't happening, because Amazon is abusing its market position.

But, even if this was the case and the seller chose to sell on a different marketplace and take the Amazon ban, then it still wouldn't be as good as having just having the item listed on both marketplaces at two different prices. Because then I wouldn't be able to buy the best lightbulbs in one convenient location.
Google docs, really any online collaborative editor uses them. If you have a distributed system with multiple asynchronous data feeds into the same sink, this is one way of automatically resolving conflicts. A complicated way that most applications probably don’t really need, and that does not guarantee consistency. But they are neat.
I guess this makes me a little demoralized about the utility of "anti-big-tech government actions," because to the extent any of these actions succeed, it's probably just sending a clear message to enhance state influence/access of other tech companies. If I get excited (and I want to) because "Amazon might be broken up!!1!", maybe that just means Google finally got the message and decided to put backdoors into <insert platform here> on behalf of <insert agency>.

Author here. One thing that we do at Svix that I alluded to in one paragraph but I should probably have elaborated on further: thanks to libraries like Serde and Pydantic, we actually follow deserialization is validation (is that a term?), which means that we validate all of the JSON data before even creating the structures in our code.

I guess that's similar to the redis example I gave, but it essentially means that even though we get sent JSON over the wire, we validate it fully and when it gets to our code we know it's a well formatted type. So our code can assume an email type is a valid email, an ID type is a valid ID, etc.

As far as I'm aware, the generally accepted definition of strong typing is: some object in memory has a type, and the compiler (or interpreter) will not let you treat it as another type without some kind of explicit instruction to do so. This is in contrast to weak typing, where the compiler/interpreter will happily try to treat a Bar object as a Foo object if you do some Foo operation on it.
