FWIW I don’t like it. I find it makes Python far less readable, more cluttered, looks noisy. My complaints are purely aesthetic because I can see the utility.

What I find though is the current type annotation systems along side really good docstrings to be good enough.
That sounds like a hot take by someone who hasn’t lived in such areas. Sort of like neighbors who have an hot take about “those people” when they’ve never met one of those people in their life. You do have to wonder about them…

I’d be interested in your personal experience regarding said “active hostility” in LCOL areas…in the year 2023. Or any objective broad based regional study about actual active hostility in LCOL areas in the 2020s in the US. Not “perceived”…sometimes the most dangerous bigot you face is the one inside your own head. Actual.

Moving to a new area with a strong sense of their own community values will always require some adjustment on both sides. But my experience is there is always more to be gained than lost, and you grow as a person as a result. Practically every part of the country have a community of like-minded citizens, no matter what “like-minded” means, and that helps quite a bit. It is easier to not be the very first but, even then, that’s what courage and leadership is all about. (Try not to get shot, though.)

Give the FUD spread about LCOL, it’s easy to weep at how many of us devolved from the pioneers who built houses, raised crops, children and communities with little more than a few hand tools, a couple pigs, a mule, some seed and a rifle. Not a perfect legacy, but a superior one. Must be why it’s such a popular international destination for so many looking for a better life.
How would the example of a scoreboard work with tiered memory?

Surely you need the sorted set in memory to derive rank/manipulate it etc?

Or would you have to shard it and add other elements on top in app code to focus on only a subsection of the data?
Great! Reminds me of Ishkur’s guide
In Plane Sight: Drug agents searching passengers for cash at airport gates
Only in the last 50 years have humans STOPPED tripping because of "saving the children". Before that, for 10s of thousands of years, humans, and animals, have used phsycoactive substances as a way of coping with and processing, reality.

Its such a dellusion that humanity has been "pure" at any point in time. Drug prohition, and all its tenticles, is a political tool of mass control. Nothing more, nothing less. Today we are seeing the reemergance of the teachings that have been passed down for generations by tribes around the world as this viel is lifted.

So please, this is not a trend. Its a rediscovery of aincent knowledge. I appreciate that low dose is how this remergence started, but there its not a cureall, and its not the only way this sustance provides benifits. 20 years ago, these same people were trapped to tables, eletroshocked until they became cataonic. Heroic doeses have their place in therapy.

In my experience It depends on the kind of software you're talking about. If you mean especially GUI-heavy apps like Office/Libre Office Gimp/Photoshop FreeCAD/AnyCommercialCAD KiCAD/Altium yes your criticisms are valid. Mostly for the reasons others have said already.

However, consider other types of software with minimal gui for example Apache-Nginx/IIS, VisualBasic/Python, command line tools like awk, sed, shells like bash vs cmd. Lots of stuff.

It is a fact of life an Open Source model works better when no GUI is involved. Why? Because many people including myself find it mind numbingly boring and difficult at the same time to come up with a good, usable gui.

I bet there are at least 3 startups in the dark somewhere in the world working about AI generated UIs right now. If they succeeded that might be the thing OS software needs to be better.
FTL2 will be the exact same game, but with a fast-forward button.
Hardly any different from going with .NET (many stuff is still Framework only), or C++ with OS specific SDKs like MFC/WinUI/...

Cybercrim claims fresh 23andMe batch takes leaked records to 5M
So first there was no breach, then there was a 1M leak, and now it is 5M. This case seems to follow a similar pattern than some large breaches (or leaks or whatever) in the past.
Yes Youtube requires ads. Other kinds of platform architectures do not. Youtube is not the only possible way to serve videos on the internet.
With the rise of convertibles you can find quite a lot of machines that will be happy to run Linux, especially if you go for 2+ years old models.

Of course there are things like PineTab, which is more like a fun hobby project rather than a serious daily-driver machine; and Librem also, but Purism has crazy pricing.
It still is quite a hazel. I find new issues popping up at least once a year that requires technical know how to resolve. The average person isn't going anywhere near that beside a simple torrent setup.
I think most people here would be happy to pay for a 5 year old version of Photoshop if they could pay a flat price for it.
Just my two cents -

Not sure the language you choose matters as much as making the API usable by a wide audience. Sure if performance is a real issue then rust makes more sense than JS but I’m not sure that’s going to be hugely meaningful in most use cases.

I’ve never been a fan of Latex despite writing some mammoth documents over the years. Latex always felt like a beast for academics not for business. Yet there’s often things I wanted to do consistently in Word etc. that have never been easy.

Styles can easily become a muddle. Having consistent numbering and bulleting is a pain and errors can easily creep in.

Tracking changes becomes a real problem when you get into many revisions and that often always ends up relying on a level of trust between parties to not override the tracking. I think there’s a killer app in just fixing this issue with a product that guarantees that guarantees all changes are properly shown from the start of a process to it being fully approved by all parties.
Businesses, lawyers etc would love that stuff. Heck if you sprinkle blockchain in you might even get easy funding but I think it’s more of a basic cryptography thing than a blockchain thing - at least it doesn’t need that level of complexity.

There's also reliable studies that it isn't that, and I actually expect it isn't, since antidepressants in general don't work by making you introspect. Actually "rumination" is a symptom of depression, so they would make you do it less, and IME meditation is not about introspection either.

Here's one showing a mechanism ketamine and antidepressants both act on:

It's not about what is real or not, that's binary. I'm talking about a spectrum. It's about how close we can get to the real thing with minimal processing in the capture. It will always be a representation.

Besides, digital copies are even further removed. We don't see 1's and 0's. A computer has to process the display to us. On the other hand, we can see light reflecting off chemical structures. One less device in the process.

> but essentially never safe to communicate to the compiler the error types your function returns.

It is safe as long as you don't write too much code for no reason. The problem in the example is that DatabaseError needlessly defined an Error method. It serves no purpose other than to allow the issue to arise. Remove said method, which has no reason to exist, and the program will fail to compile.

> Its a real problem. People don't write perfect code.

Okay, sure. It is possible that a programmer may, for whatever reason, leave out entire blocks of logic that the program needs. Imagine not adding billing logic to your storefront software – I'm sure it has happened to someone before! Making interfaces more intuitive does not solve that problem, though.
I am happy to be sorted into the "responsible" category, since I prescribe IV ketamine with the mentioned 40 minute slow IV infusion at 0,5mg per kg of body weight.

I would like to chime in a thought about the choice of words... I think that we might be doing us a disservice when reducing the whole discussion down to "trip" or "no trip". Some patients have mild sensory experiences from the treatment, some have unpleasant dissociative-ish experiences, some done feel much at all. My belief is that the subjective experience, or the phenomenology of the treatment, is of importance even if the experience is far from a "trip". My patient who thus far has had the most convincing response did not "trip", but described a calm feeling of "everything will be alright" during the treatment - a response that none of 20-ish drugs or ECT had given.
Sure if one loves typing []@ all over the place, and I know Objective-C since NeXTSTEP days.
Employees don't show all your cards, either. Employers misjudge candidates all the time. That's how they wind up with deadwood, quiet quitters, thieves, drug addicts, etc.

I've had many, many people brag to me how they lied on their resume. Many have shameless posted here how they cheated their way through college.

Employees have the ultimate power - they can just say "no".

Eh, I wouldn’t. And I don’t know if he would either. He cares about his message not his personality or presence, and thank god. he’s always struck me as a guy who values showmanship, he gets his charm from saying what he says on the very payroll of the companies he criticizes.

Why on earth would he ever cheapen that affect he brings with an unfiltered stream, i.e. the dog water that is a has-beens podcast?

Maybe you don't really have to "fix" depression, I am very nihilistic and I do just fine - I don't kill myself because I don't give a fuck enough to do that. Looks easy to me. We are just on a flying stone in the cosmos, we shouldn't really except anything out of this.
I haven’t looked at the gist yet, but the number of projects I’ve seen using make as a glorified script runner is far above zero. It makes me sad.

In all seriousness, it would be amazing if make could somehow detect the docker state.
if anything internet made textual dirty stories explode as well.

It's just a different target audience. Especially women don't like the highly visual stuff. They tend to favor a relaxing text.
Could give them a psychoactive that's not reputed to help with depression. As long as they don't know what a trip looks like they won't know you gave them DMT when they're talking to the machine elves.
Except languages with modules already existed, in systems even more constrained memory predating C's invention.
> it would expose the lie that there can be a universal data and power connector for all devices

It was never promised for ALL devices. Obviously, there are high power applications where type-C connector would melt no matter what you do.

But it's quite obvious that USB-C cables with 40Gbps and 100W power delivery exist. And it's good enough for most devices. At least for now.

I even see 40Gbps cables with 240W PD.
That's a pretty traumatic situation, so it suggests you shouldn't try to be cured of depression right after breaking your leg.
> Most companies are happy to pay you way less than you're worth if you'll accept it.

I laugh when I see things like this. Would you turn down a job offer if it is way more than you expected?
Really? The endgame could be pushing ppl towards premium, but even then I don't trust google not to start showing ads for premium users.

I commented to a prior post on Currie's new weapon that did not make it off 'new' and onto the front page.

Wired did a great video profile of him a few years ago.

I admire that he defended against incremental competitors by having quantum improvements in his library. Looks like he had no challengers so he elected to release at least one big improvement in heat.

Java is more like Objective-C and Smalltalk, than C++. It only took the syntax from the latter, the semantics and dynamism are from the former and reflect the authors experience with Objective-C frameworks at Sun.

I'm guessing you're submitting this because it was recently certified as the hottest pepper by Guinness. This article from the Wikipedia page has a small write up but also a video from Hot Ones[1] that has some guests trying it out.

The ending of that video is hilarious, with Ed Currie (who created the pepper) just casually savoring the taste while everyone else is literally dying on set.

Thank you! It’s been fun to build and is getting even more fun now that I am adding skills and inter-agent interactions.
For sure. In indigenous circles, the perception is often that science’s approach to psychedelics is quite ill-fitted because it seeks to separate the molecules from the non-physical essence of the medicines. What is called “set and setting” in the secular world, is called “sorcery” or “ceremony” for them. They understand the many transcendental layers opened by this medicine in a profound, intimate manner, and many of these traditions have developed, refined and passed down over generations intricate spiritual sciences meant to work with these unseen forces with the most grace possible.

So, naturally when westerns come and want to isolate compounds and get rid of the ceremonial background because it’s “unscientific”, the only possible reaction is to put one’s hand in the face and think “here we go again, THIS too will be colonized.”

This world has far many more dimensions than what modern science is able to address. And many of these plants/compounds open access to these dimensions. It’s really important I think that we have the humility to learn from the people who have worked with these medicines for a very long time.

Context: I have apprenticed and studied very closely under various traditional lineages for the past few years.
I'm sensing a lot of Alphabet employees in this thread XD
The term "Late-stage capitalism" was invented over 100 years ago, and I don't think there is any rational reason to be more depressed than a feudalist peasant.
Swift also does OOP, it did not abandoned anything.
He says "ads are cancer to society" but he has an ad-supported Twitter account, Twitch account, and Youtube channel. He asks his followers to donate crypto and calls himself an "expensive consultant for hire".

He says Youtube not being able to "come up with a lawful business model is not my (or anyone elses) concern". I guess his idea of a lawful business model is to solicit crypto donations.

Yikes.
Right. Employment should be viewed as an arrangement between peers. Mutual. And either can end that arrangement.
> how hard every company fights

This only shows that companies believe that unions are harmful for them. Which I support, as usually unions are bad for both companies and workers

> from the amount workers were underpaid

No, workers are paid in full long before buybacks happen. Shareholders are usually paid last.
>I actually don't agree with this. I think _not_ having "essential dynamism" where it's not needed is actually a feature, not a bug.

Yeah.

To author's surprise, Adobe's PDF spec supports JavaScript execution[1]. And interactive 3D graphics [2][3]. Not to mention, audio and video [4].

And "Liquid Mode" for responsive-layout PDF documents [5].

Of course, these "features" were considered bugs by the ISO PDF/A spec (archival, i.e. future-proof), so they were all stripped out [6].

The point being: sometimes a document should be a document.

As for science papers: LaTeX is written by humans, for humans. Custom latex commands and packages allow one to write a plaintext document that is as easily read as the paper it generates.

Which is great for accessibility, among other things.

> an API change is a very big deal, to be used only when the older version just can't work anymore

That's one opinion.

Another opinion is, that API and major version changes can be used whenever the maintainers of an open source project feel like it. No other reason is necessary. Because it's their project. They write the code. They don't have to justify that decision.

If a large portion of the projects userbase is unhappy about that, the project will lose traction and new project, or a fork, will arise.

From a linked citation on the wiki page:

Mr Currie is one of only five people who has eaten an entire Pepper X. "I was feeling the heat for three and a half hours. Then the cramps came," Mr Currie told the Associated Press. "Those cramps are horrible. I was laid out flat on a marble wall for approximately an hour in the rain, groaning in pain."

Haha, what's next, peppers exuding pure capsaicin crystals?
This is an excellent article, also the first explanation of variance I've read that didn't make my eyes glaze over.
Hardly a contrived problem, since I know of at least one occurrence where I had issues in production because of it. It was not error handling that was the problem, which is exposed here.

The problem was that I had a variable of an interface type and in the code was producing different objects implementing that interface. Now, a nil value was also allowed if none of the cases matched and then the variable was stored in a sync.Map as a value.

The problem was that when retriving the value the nil check never matched. Why? Well, it's type is defined as the interface even if it doesn't point to any implementation.

I get that the designers might not have considered a different option: it is allowed to invoke a method on a nil object, making what some languages would call static methods. Still, I agree with the grandparent: I think this is Go's biggest flaw, simply because it is so surprising.
Took an interview with them last year. Glad I didn't proceed.

I've written some custom code for computational geometry (like computing the offset for a geometric object using Apple Metal). It was a lot of fun, but also quite hard, and a lot of edge cases I just didn't deal with because I had a particular use case and speed was paramount.

Maybe the idea of a "kernel" is the problem here. A kernel the size of a browser is not a kernel.

I think what's really needed is a full-blown integration with a theorem proving system (which has an easier to define kernel of its own).
It is amazing what length people are willing to go in the hope of "safety".

Is there anybody out there who successfully build their own product, not via VC or other investments, but on their own time and own money who likes types?

To me it seems that types are something consultants and people who get paid for their time instead of their productivity like. Because it makes things more complex. So to achieve the same task, you can bill more time.

I have not seen anybody successfully build something on their own time, money, risk who like types. If there is someone here, I would love to see it!

On the other hand, I have seen many examples of lean code like the following turning into successful life style businesses and companies:

Are you suggesting that there's no need for Redis to integrate persistent-storage support because every user should download some library and patch the Redis source themselves? And that would somehow be better?
That'd be a neat legal detour. However for those who don't care, simply downloading requires less effort once you got the framework (usenet, torrent, sonarr, radarr) set up. Personally I am done with the silly streaming fracturing, except for my kids. So I will keep Disney+ at least, Prime cause it is cheap, and likely will ditch Netflix (not enough value)
Just went and donated them. Nice to have such products: science research papers are always under paywalls, but sometimes just "ordinary" people want to read that to wide their scope and knowledge. Knowledge should not be paywalled like that. Also there are some situations sometimes that some books are just not available in some countries. In that cases such products can be used I think. In other cases - sure we need to support authors(sometimes publishers/resellers) directly if we can.
I love type safety. When I drop down to a dynamically typed language I'm actually slower as I have to double check my work. I don't understand how someone in 2023 can be against type safety.
the only people who constantly complain about errors in Go are those who have no or only small experience with long running programs, so mostly scripts(php, python,...).
