printing money obviously can't be the "root" cause because it's not an independent variable - it's the product of a social institution implementing policy which was decided on.

so, who decided? why? to benefit whom? i suppose therein lies the root cause.

Can you convince me this argument isn't also in support of slavery? (through fear)

Or was that actually the point and you mean to advocate for slavery?

Your arguments for b are equally malignant. If you will pay someone the minimum mage, for a minimum amount of work, and everyone else who could perform a higher standard doesn't because you refuse to pay them more than the minimum wage, good! Providing equal value of effort for value of compensation isn't communism, that's known as capitalism.
So what? The principal agent people has been understood by investors since the time of Adam Smith. Everyone is already aware of this.
I would have more respect if they at least admitted to the flawed type system but instead say it is not a problem. It is disappointing to see past mistakes repeated in a new programming language. Even the Java language creator was humble enough to admit fault for the null pointer problem. The Go devs do not have such humility.

would you be willing to try it on a modern terminal? unless I'm misunderstanding, you tried it on a VT-100 hardware terminal, which almost certainly means you were on a mainframe from 30+ years ago. If I'm wrong , please let me know.

I realize that hardware-smooth-scrolling is different, and you emphasized that you weren't limited by the mainframe speed per-se, but I can't help but think these two 'smooth scrolling's are similar in name only. I can't picture how you could have the same problem with the smooths-scrolling feature described in this post.

It's not evidence of wrongness, but money is power. Especially in a post "Citizens United" world. My point is that saying that the vast income inequality being discussed does no harm to those at the bottom is inaccurate. At the very least it reduces the ability of the average person to influence their own government.
While I'm unlikely to ever create on or browse neocities (I'd kinda forgotten about it), I agree 100% with your concerns about the modern web. And it seems like it got worse since your 2013 blog post.

Interesting context. I use Go a lot for enterprise backend type work and I have to say I'm glad its not geared towards being an HPC language, but to each their own.
And with most of the type-related stuff it's slightly worse than "no research to back this up". There is research, and it doesn't back this up.

Except for the documentation effect. For that there is apparently solid research.
Thanks! I've added a note about this here: https://github.com/oconnor663/bao/issues/41#issuecomment-119.... Does that sound like an accurate summary to you?
Measurement noise, other experimental errors, small sample size, cherry picking. It's worse than no data because you can draw incorrect conclusions.

Have a really dumb example:

All of the developers I work with are short, therefore all developers must be short, and we could save time by filtering job applicants by height.

(Note: I work with only one developer. He's great!)

Or is it that scientific computing is starting to realize that it can benefit from a systems programming language?

Scripting langages are great for exploratory work, but if you want to put to work into production, scripting starts to really show its limitations. There is a reason systems languages exist. There is good reason why they both exist. They are different tools for different jobs.

Is this a scenario you feel you are qualified to answer for? Have you, as somebody with meaningful living expenses, ever been in a scenario like this? If not, I'm certain you do not have an accurate picture of what that would be like and what you would consider your options to be.
>"try random pairs until you find a collision" method works fine and is arbitrarily parallelizable with no storage.

That requires you to do 2^128 checks on average, not 2^64. Again, the problem is that the birthday problem only exists if you have all the hashes available to compare. If you're just doing two hashes at a time and comparing the two, the chances of you getting a match for each try is 1 in 2^128, and this is independent for each attempt. To get a 50% chance you need 2^128 attempts.

If you can't see why that's the case, you can empirically test this, by using a 16-bit "hash" rather than a 128-bit hash: https://pastebin.com/7xW04Jgg

The average I got during one invocation was 58161, which is 2^15.8, not 2^8 as you'd expect. However, if you modify the code to include a storage/retrieval system: https://pastebin.com/AxF9S0q5, the average drops to near 2^8. For my last invocation, I got 309.7 which is 2^8.2
On Teslas? That’s fairly uncommon especially on newer models. There’s plenty of 10+ year old Teslas that have done hundreds of thousands of miles on the original battery pack and still going strong.

Reliability has only improved since then, especially with the recent shift (in some models) towards LFP chemistry, which is much less susceptible to degradation over time than nickel-based chemistry.

Besides, the Model 3 and Y are very popular vehicles today, selling in the millions globally. So not only will the resale market be strong in coming years, there will be a good supply of low-cost parts (including battery packs) from salvage vehicles. You won't have to go to Tesla for a replacement battery back even if you needed one.

I don't plug in every day, only a couple of times a week.

So maybe 20-30 seconds total every week or two. Compared to 5+ minutes every week or two, which is how long I spend with my ICE. That's at least 10x longer.
That was my initial thought as well.
The "creator" pitch and visuals immediately turned me off. It gave me the impression that this was kind of a gimmicky thing intended for an audience the polar opposite of what I would want.
That could work too. A keyboard that you put on top of the screen, the only thing that would need to happen is that the operating system detects this and moves the content to the top, the same way as the software keyboard.

> Satya Nadella having more money than me doesn't make my life worse; I'm more concerned about the availability of jobs, food, housing, etc.

Does Satya Nadella not giving all of his extra monies to better causes and instead keeping it for himself make the lives of others (those in poverty) worse? Or "not better"? aka "billionaires choose to retain some portion of their earnings/wealth instead of dedicating it to poverty"

Then the question becomes "why do we expect those with a lot of money to selflessly not want to keep the money for themselves and instead give back/give it away"
extremely sobering. and also mirroring so many of my own personal feelings.

the article is now over 6 years old. I'll repeat what the author says-- I don't know what to think anymore.

It's like finding a glitch in the matrix at this point, when you think a "bot" is real, and the only indication it isn't is some mistake it's made that no human would ever make. Raving about the 0-60mph acceleration times on your new snowblower, for example. It all looks so real, until you see that part and realize without a doubt, this is fake. A brief mistake and you won't see it again as the system corrects itself.

AFAIR sometimes it may happen that familiar stem cells cross maternal-fetal barrier in placenta, persist somehow and start to function regardless, where stem cells are needed - usually in younger sibling coming from the older, in place of original cells, even in the brain - forming part of it as of another person (more or less) - interconnected but not the same..

If you're thinking in terms of instructions or mathematics operations, you're thinking too high level for what an FPGA is and does.

FPGAs are often times for prototyping hardware designs, but also for bespoke parallelized or hardware operations that are too low of yield to justify ASIC development.

> top(1) is showing that we're burying the CPU:

I think it actually shows that you're IO bound (the 'D' in the 'S' column). On my workstation the query takes ~10.9s after restarting postgres and dropping the os caches. And this is a four year old CPU that wasn't top of the line at the time either.

> postgres=# explain select city, min(array_min(array_agg)), avg(array_avg(array_agg)), max(array_max(array_agg)) from temps_by_city group by 1 order by 1 ;

Note that you dropped the limit 5 here. This causes the query to be a good bit slower, the expensive part here is all the array unnesting, which only needs to happen for the actually selected cities.

On my workstation the above takes 1.8s after adding the limit 5.
As a designer, it was amazing to how badly invision was unable to move beyond their original simple prototyping platform. They were way ahead of the curve when they began and simply never did anything useful beyond that.

What was even more wild was watching them clearly dump money into gimmicks and sales over their product. I worked at a large agency during invisions heyday and they were constantly pitching all levels of employees on whatever their new thing was, typically with sales people flying out for in person visits, buying whole office lunches, etc. I prob sat through a dozen pitches in a year where literally nothing about their product fundamentally improved or changed. People who had no idea what a design system was would pitch a half baked "design system manager" or similar, but were unable to really talk to any depth about design systems or answer questions about gaps in their product. It was very clear they would not succeed.
True, but a big problem with these jobs is not giving employees enough hours consistently. I wonder how many people are getting effectively minimum wage or less because they don't even get full-time hours consistently.
I really want to love this. I’ve been asking for something like it for years. I feel like I’d also need a low-mounted popsocket, or I can already feel my pinkies breaking from the weight supporting this.

I think Java's "green" threads only ran on a single core, a stop-gap for 90s machines that only had one.

Goroutines use OS threads, but only create one OS thread per core. Go does the scheduling internally on top of those few "real" threads.

Java itself now provides a goroutine-type model with Virtual Threads, but as the programmer you've got to ask for it.

Well, I just felt like "green" is a confusing moniker in that context.
>Brand new stuff, which it never saw in it's training, can come out.

Sort of. You can get LLMs to produce some new things, but these are statistical averages of existing information. Its kinda like a static "knowledge tree", where it can do some interpolation, but even then, its interpolation based on statistically occurring text.
When the rich get rich via redistribution of value rather than generation of value, average richness rises after those rich are deposed.
That's probably true.

The benefits of local business are 1) that dollars spent there generate more wealth for the local economy, as they're not extracted to offshore bank accounts; and 2) that there can be more accountability to and involvement with the community served.

However, just because someone hasn't expanded their business to the state/national/international levels doesn't make them a good person, a good manager, a good CEO, or a good community member. The term "petty tyrant" is often used to refer to small business owners who abuse their employees and/or community.

Move your desktop to the basement and use optical cables to connect your monitor and all the peripherals located in your room. This is one of the common use cases and it was popularized by Linus from LTT. He has optical Thunderbolt (PCIe and USB) at his desk and optical DisplayPort in several rooms. The latter allows screen casting without the usual compression artifacts, input lag, and low refresh rate that you get from shoving a 32gbps signal down a 1gbps pipe

Well I think for one there is a power imbalance between employees and employers that seems primed for abuse without some regulatory minimum.

Also is the goal to maximize the number in the workflow, or get people out of poverty? Having them work for less may increase employment figures but they'll still be in poverty. The minimum wage has shown to decrease employment but also lift the people employed out of poverty [1].

I think two big failures were:

1. Nil pointers (two types of them, even!). We knew better even then.

2. Insisting that the language doesn't have exceptions, when it does. User code must be exception safe, yet basically never use exceptions. The standard library swallows exceptions (fmt and http)

Those are the biggest day to day concrete problems. There are many more that are more abstract, but also hurt.
"All X are Y, and their denial proves it" seems a very poor argument to me. By its very nature you can't really disprove it.
There's a difference between 'having more capital' and 'having absolutely absurd amounts of capitals'.

If you look at income distribution graphs of the last few decades and the political influence those in the highest percentiles wielded, it's not entirely unfair to question whether this might make the life of the average citizen "worse".

Seriously, asking people just to install IRFANview is a big ask. People still think that they can't open WebP images for some reason when basically they can and it's not that hard or inconvenient. And it's not just the not technologically inclined that have this issue in fact I think people who are more opinionated and more informed have this issue even more so. No image format is going to be catching on anytime soon as long as nerds have opinions. No matter how much better compression ratio it has or how easy it is to open or the more things that it allows us to view like native HDR images... For whatever reason image formats are impossible for people.

I think you are looking at it from the wrong perspective.

It doesn't take 100x the devs to make FPGA compelling on the desktop or the server. Just like bespoke accelerators in Apple Silicon are used behind a library, so too will the accelerators implemented via FPGAs. The program itself can be copied a billion times.

Your argument can be made for GPUs as well, the users (end users) aren't the ones writing the shaders, but GPUs are used my hundreds of millions of people.
I wonder a lot about what motivates people at that level, and about how these negotiations go. As someone who has always been a W-2 employee, and who has never had much individual negotiating power, it feels impossible to wrap my head around this.

On one hand, if I could get compensation in the hundreds of millions per year, it's tempting to think that I'd "work" for six months and then retire with wealth beyond my wildest dreams. On the other hand, nobody appears to do that. So maybe it's lifestyle inflation, or maybe it's just intoxicating to have that kind of power and status and everything that comes with it besides the money. The existence of government executives and military flag officers, who aren't even paid that much money and could retire whenever they want with generous pensions, seems to indicate that money isn't the primary motivation.

In terms of negotiations, it's hard to imagine that the boards of Alphabet or Microsoft couldn't find someone equally qualified to take the CEO job for less than these amounts.
