Native German speaker from Austria here who has been living in Quebec for many years.

I had to study and pass my exams in standard French with a Parisian institution. This is made obligatory by the Quebec government for immigrants if they want to stay and apply for a PR.

Anyways, the insight I want to share here is that Quebecois French is much closer to Austrian or Bavarian German vs Standard German.

Both share a similar trajectory with their standard counterparts, diverging over centuries but in the end remaining more comprehensible compared to Swiss German.

Quebecois, evolving since the 17th century from settlers' French and Austrian/Bavarian dialects, shaped since the 6th century's “Lautverschiebung” are also old but less divergent branches.

Swiss German, though also rooted in the High German shift, has veered more distinctly. Watching Swiss TV (SRF), I only get about 80-90% due to that deeper linguistic forking.

Standard Quebecois has not been much harder for me to understand than standard French. Like in Austrian German there are certain “quirks” but again much easier to parse from context than with Swiss German.

Of course there might be the case where a heavy local dialect becomes even harder to understand than say Swiss German even. German language learners could test their comprehension of Swiss vs going to a pub in Wien Ottakring or into a deep recess of the Tyrollean alps. I’d guess some encounters would be minimum as hard to understand if not harder. Same for rural Quebec etc. Then again the underlying grammar even can be really different in fundamental ways with Swiss German which is not the case for Quebecois.

TL;DR standard Quebecois is easier to understand and much closer to standard French than standard Swiss German is to standard German.

IMHO: France has just been very steadfast about language standardization up to this day and across its zone of influence. E.g. there even is obligatory standard French language learning in Quebec for immigrants and possibly public schools as well. So for some people from France they often don’t have developed the “muscle” for even slight derivations. In addition not much proficiency in “foreign languages” in general especially for older generations.

Yes you're right there's currently no 'third system' just as there's no 'new democracy'. But we should be looking.

In the case of capitalism, I think it is inherently and fundamentally misaligned, and can only be 'tamed', 'harnessed' and 'counterbalanced' to provide benefits to society, just as we currently do with taxes, fair trade/antitrust laws, and so on, but not actually 'fixed'.

>Using offheap memory allocation in Java is generally a bad idea.

Memory mapped files and direct buffers do work well. I'd never consider it a bad idea; technically both would be freed if there are no strong references to them (not much different than allocating massive arrays).

Think of it like that the jdk standard library has to use native memory for any IO or even a trivial zip compression. ByteBuffers were introduced in 1.4 (around 20y back) to allow operations outside the managed system, the tools are available to anyone, e.g. implementing zstd with direct buffers is not hard.

My experience with these AI coding tools so far has been that while they're great for writing functions and explaining hard to understand errors, they’re really let down by the fact they don’t have high level context of the project or business you’re working in.

It seems it’s very hard to make good decisions about how to higher level things (modules, classes, dependency hierarchies etc.) without that context, and the programmer is forced to give the tool very specific instructions in order to compensate. At some point the instructions just need to be specific enough that you might as well be writing code again.

I have no doubt they'll get there eventually, but it seems like being able to write entire projects effectively might coincide with the arrival of true AGI. There's just so much context to consider.

> But, for decades, I’ve been reading reports of the discovery of evidence for the trappings of life elsewhere: water and organics and “habitable” exoplanets. These are valuable discoveries, but the tone of the reports suggest they imply life is about to turn up.

I agree that life is not very likely. We appear to have gotten lucky. Aka, “the rare earth hypothesis.” As far as habitable zones, both Mars and Venus are in the habitable zone of our solar system, and they appear to be barren.

But do not despair! A new approach has been identified. Look much wider and farther, and as opposed to biosignatures, we should look for signs of technosignatures. This would be much harder to mistake for natural chemical processes.

I live in the Paris area (initially came as a tourist) and I've visited San Francisco. It's all a matter of where exactly you are - there are bad parts and good parts. However, the worst parts of San Francisco were definitely worse than the worst parts of Paris (where no tourist has any reason to come close to, unlike in SF where it's literally a few blocks away from major tourist attractions).

You don't see people shooting heroin literally 5 metres away from a tourist attraction in Paris (for the record - right next to the queue of tourists to get on the cable car at Powell/Market stop).

According to Wikipedia, Franconian is split between Low Franconian dialects, including Dutch, and the others, which underwent the same consonant shift as the High German languages. But I agree that the boundaries of languages are not purely linguistic.
I don't think I have seen it in publicly available allocators either, but I once implemented it in a custom one. I suppose that this design is not very popular because it is quite fragile: you end up running arbitrary code (the move constructor) in the middle of an allocation routine, when some of the heap's invariants have not yet been restored. Consequently, you typically require that the move constructor not recursively call the allocator, which is a reasonable limitation.

Alternatively, the allocator could treat reallocation as a multi-step process ( a) reserve new space, b) move data, c) free old space), with enough state tracking to allow a) and c) to be different calls to the allocator, so that b) could be performed by the caller.

There is no perfect solution to this problem. I suppose that's why C++ does not have a standard reallocation counterpart to new/delete/new[]/delete[].

My friends who are Quebecois, on the other hand, are subjected to all manner of mean-spirited ridicule, from the innocuous "aww you're so cute too down like that!" to "you must miss your moose blood when you visit"

> Cool companies and interesting ideas get solved by using 19 century tech

Both Javascript and Java were invented in 1995, pretty sure that's not in the 19th century: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/19th_century

> This makes me bitter.

Why? You do you. If you want to use frameworks, that's great. Have fun.

If you re-read my post, you may also discover that I am not argueing against frameworks. I argue against over-using them. I argue against needless towers of abstractions. I argue against projects getting stuck in architecture-astronaut-land and analysis-paralysis, where trying to hammer the business case in shape so it fits the technology used, instead of the other way around as it should be, eats up precious, and expensive developer time. This is what I saw a lot of in Java-Land.

Another beast of the same ilk, only with a slightly different head, is framework-jumping, where people bandwagon to a new shiney new thing, that does something slightly different than what exists already, but requires re-learning entire architectures. Bonus points if this leads to re-writing existing, battle tested code just so it fits a new paradigm. This is what I see alot of in Javascipt-Land.

The fact that people are able, willing, and actually do build cool, valueable and inventive things while trying to minimize the amount of noise between them and their tech-stack, is not something that disappoints me. In fact, this is why I largely transitioned to Go as one of my primary languages. And I get the same feedback from many people in many other companies and roles.

Without denying at all that racism exists, I believe it is also possible to imitate accents outside racism. I'm from the south of France, and my accent kicks in when I speak with elderly family members that themselves always have the southern accent when they speak. Despite that, sometimes I make jokes imitating the southern accent, does that make me a "self-racist"?

Clarification in case it's needed: I absolutely agree that making fun of someone's accent when they come to you is a best inappropriate, and more often than not utter bigotry. But I'm concerned about criminalising humour. This might not be a widely-shared idea (especially in the anglosaxon world?), but I even believe that racist jokes can be tools against racism, decredibilising racism and not actually oppressing the minority in question. Of course, again, context matters.

(clarification #2: I don't believe "cancel culture" is a thing, if you do racist jokes in the public sphere and someone calls you out for saying something racist, I don't believe anyone has been "cancelled")

ERRMSG yields a list of all error messages, so the compiler wasn't "going wild", but behaving according to spec. A modern COBOL should beat that handily; no doubt they've added at least one or two new errors between 1977 and now.

Recoll serves a different purpose as it's primarily build to index and search within your personal documents. That's why it doesn't work well when you point it to the root folder, in an attempt to search within the entire system of millions of files and that's also the reason why it's not as fast, since it's doing more work (parsing complex file formats, searching within a more complex database structure and more data, ...).

FSearch is primarily built to find files on the entire system instantly (by that I mean that all results should be ready by the time you press the next character while typing), based on their name, size, time, filetype, etc. This is less work than what Recoll does and that's why it is much faster.

That's why I also use both tools.

The idea that the current lengths of copyright law are anything to do with Disney is a nice fiction but it's not true.

The US has the copyright terms they have is because they were obligated to match the EU's by international treaty (where copyright is, in most cases, the end of the year 70 years after the author dies). The EU adopted that term to harmonise it's copyright with that of Germany.

Disney certainly didn't object to a copyright extension in the US, but they weren't the driving force behind it, trade deals with the EU were, and the EU is not going to allow the US to reduce their term in a million years (and nor are the many other international signatories who have harmonised their term at a similar period since).
> "I did Java in a serious project without frameworks once" is not a counter to: Java needs frameworks to be generally useful.

Yes, it pretty much is.

Because "needs" implies a non-negotiable requirement. I need to breathe to live. I need to study to learn. I need to open the door to leave the house.

If I can write useful software in a language without using frameworks, then said usage is not a non-negotiable requirement.
