One could argue that someone actually adhering to (at least most) of the morals and teachings of any major religion (which is already a rare thing) would almost never become CEO of anything.

There's no evidence priests (or ethicists, ideologues...) adhere to what they preach more often or strictly than their following (and perhaps evidence to the contrary).
On a similar reasoning, in 2008 or such, I observed that, while our Java app would be able to run more user requests per second than our Python version, it’d take months for the Java app to overtake the Python one in total requests served because it’d have to account for a 6 month head start.

Far too often we waste time optimising for problems we don’t have, and, most likely, will never have.
If it's a machine that you're going to be working on a lot, you might as well have good tools installed. (And if it's a machine where stuff like starship would be bloat, then it's probably not something people should be SSHing into frequently).
This is something I have noticed in practice, copilot and other AI coding tools help you solve your use-case faster because they see the pattern(s?) in your open files and use that.
While I was working at Facebook, one of the unsaid rules that was drilled down upon me was to avoid code repetition, copilot does not go the extra length and tells you: "hey, these 2 code blocks are very very similar, why not just create a common function?" its on the developer to take care of these things.

I do love copilot (saves me from writing a lot of boiler plate code) but it not going the extra step, we probably need another abstraction (ha!) on top of the copilot generated code to fix this behaviour with AI generated code, or just stop using copilot and go back to writing code with LSP.

I do think its solvable tho, and we will get there sooner rather than later.
Every time I read about this scandal, it reminds me how important independent journalism really is.

I once compared Linus Torvalds' net worth to Warren Buffett's net worth. I think they are both extremely capable individuals in their fields. Torvalds earns about 10 million per year. With that income, it would take Torvalds 12k years to reach the same net worth as Buffett (about 124 billion).

Put differently, Buffett could personally fund 10k open source contributors 200k per year for their lifetime (60 years) if he wanted to.

So maybe that's the solution? Convince billionaires that open source software is a philanthropic endeavor?
> Well, this is exactly it. iOS should have redundant security policies that don't take fallible App Store reviews for granted anyways. Apple didn't really account for this, presumably to hedge the validity of a single App Store.

If your second sentence was accurate, Apple wouldn’t be leading the industry on app security as they have been. The mistake is seeing these as incompatible rather than complementary goals: the layers of protection on the device ate never going to be perfect so having a single point of review and, more importantly, revocation means that they have a chance to catch exploits first and to deter them with knowledge of what can be done in response. The notarization framework they describe seems like a compromise in that regard, being especially useful for linking binaries to a legal identity.

> Sideloading works fine on Android (or, Mac); getting it "right" is eminently an implementation problem.

Again, this depends on whether your definition of “right” includes as much malware or spyware. That’s a spectrum, and there is not an absolute right answer. Apple appears to be shifting to a model where multiple stores are allowed but there’s still some accountability for stores which don’t control malware, which seems like a better place to me than where we’re at now.

There are even languages that can do more crazy things than CL or Smalltalk. For example, in Sinclair BASIC, if you put a breakpoint at some position on the line, you can even modify the rest of the line and continue with execution from the breakpoint without the need of restarting anything.
I think Rust is harder too.

On top of all the essential complexity of coding, Rust adds the accidental complexity of solving a logic puzzle to satisfy the borrow checker. If there is one thing LLMs can’t do it is solve logic puzzles, at least not if you want the right answer.

don't conflate 'Objects' with 'Object Oriented Design', if you split your data Structures from you algos then your just using an OOP-language to do programming not doing OOP.

strong typing has nothing to do with OOP. static variable are replaced by singletons and other similar in spirit objects.

OOP today is a 'No true Scotsman' concept much like communism, agile, and other vague by design terms. You can't argue against it because every individual has at least one definition in his head and it shifts through the conversation toward the one that's not refuted by the claims.

the intent of such concepts is to hit you in the feels and trigger some ideals inside you, so that you associate the positive feelings you have toward those ideals to the concept.

if you argue about it as it is used in practice you will inevitably have someone bring up that java style OOP is not true OOP and that you should look intro Smalltalk or some other language that implement "Real OOP".

since arguing about specifics is a losing battle, lets argue about the bigger picture,
if we take the goals of alain kay like he talked about in many of his talks his goals was to make systems more like biogology, but as a system designer the last thing you want to do is that. we don't know much about biology, people in that field a still reverse engineering pre-existing designs to this day and not designing much of their own from scratch.
If you design a system you want to have the most control and foresight in the dynamics of your systems, uncontrolled & unintended emergent effects are your source of problems.

entangling data and behavior make your conceptual design state-space size explode,
when you go full OOP you become an ontologist philosophizing about what is an X and what is an X-manager, X-Provider, ... and less of a system designer trying to make sure your system does not land in the wrong states.
It doesn't exactly go both ways, if Meta puts WhatsApp into their own app store, as a european user you might be very well bullied into allowing even more Meta spyware onto your device.

If a developer has such a significant user base you don't have a choice. Same with banking apps: If there are no alternatives that allow you to not use a platform (in this case iOS/Android) you are bullied as you have no choice to not do business with them.

Another limit, now that I look, is the amount of power available to a PCIe card

CPUs can draw 200W or so which already seems extreme for a small rectangle of a few centimeters. But also consider that they run at low voltage, typically 1.1-1.2V or whatever. That means those tiny BGA/wires are carrying 100+ amps, similar to what a car battery delivers on starting. PCIe tracks are much bigger.

My work sent me to a Hadoop workshop in 2016 where in the introduction the instructor said Hadoop would replace the traditional RDBMS within five years. We went on to build a system to search the full text of Shakespeare for word instances that took a solid minute to scan maybe 100k of text. An RDBMS with decent indexes could have done that work instantly; hell, awk | grep | sort | uniq -c could have done that work instantly.

It’s been 8 years and I think RDBMS is stronger than ever?

Colored the entire course with a “yeah right”. Frankly is Hadoop still popular? Sure, it’s still around but I don’t hear much about it anymore. Never ended up using it professionally, I do most of my heavy data processing in Go and it works great.

You're right - in my previous message I made the mistake of implicitly "mixing" the apps with the app stores.

However, this is due to the fact that no average company typically has the time/money/interest to run an app store as their side project, except for the big players, which in many cases happen to be the same people producing high volume apps and having payment methods capabilities. You could claim that Telegram or Zoom have no app store and they would never plan to do so, and you'd probably be right, but the BIG or very BIG ones are MS, Google, Amazon and Meta one way or another have already their own app stores. They even mention that "less than 1% of the developers would be affected by the Core Technology Fee". You want to really keep these guys on your app store, because imagine if you didn't find office, zoom, gmail, youtube on the official App Store. That'd be really weird - it reminds me of the microsoft store (on some old windows phone I had the pleasure to setup...) that didn't have some important apps.

To answer the other question - they could be running an app store...:

Why would Google or Valve run a store for lower-volume apps?

Please note that they mention "less than 1% of the developers", not "less than 1% of the apps hosted". It means: google, facebook, ms, epic games, etc. Those are the guys that you will probably never have on the alternative app store (because of the huge fees that they might have to pay).

EDIT: In 2022 there were about 34 million registered developers [0]. 1% is 340'000. This is where the big money is.

Ha, I think that one of my first HN comments, 10 years or so ago, was how I wanted to be able to save HTML web pages as HTML, not as PDF. I'm sure I didn't explain (or understand) my reasoning well, but it was roundly regarded as a ludicrous thing to want to do. I'm glad to hear that I was just a decade out of sync.
Thats true, maybe one of the reasons I like rust. But logical puzzle solving implies constraints and that's something LLMs can solve (in a constrained environment with the compiler telling you what's right and what's wrong..) I might be over ambitious about this but to me rust code would seem more solvable compared to say python or raw javascript (which have no such compiler based guidance)

> To tell people that buddhas have supernatural powers, and take that literally, is turning people away from the teaching.

No it isn't, it's literally the sutras say and what a vast majority of Buddhists actually believe.

> You are supposed to understand that those are metaphors. Stories, not truth.

Then why don't we see this reflected in traditional teachings? This is a modern western reinterpretation, so called "secular Buddhism". Supernatural powers are well documented in Buddhism and even today in Tibetan Buddhism.

> Concentration/Samadhi is part of the 8-fold path.

A vast majority of Buddhists are relying on Amida's path for salvation through the Pure Land and/or producing merit for a better rebirth though, they don't practise such things in this lifetime.

> You know enough Buddhist terms to Troll someone on the internet. But this is damaging. Someone could read what you say and think that is Buddhism and be turned away or mislead.

Well, I'm right, and it sounds like I've actually researched, studied, and practised Buddhism more than you.

> Also, there is no such thing as slander to Buddhist

Yes there is, it's even included in Amida's 18th vow:

> Excluded, however, are those who commit the Five Gravest Transgressions and slander the right Dharma.

and is mentioned throughout the Lotus sutra. For example the whole basis of Nichiren's theology is that those who slander the Buddhadharma will be reborn in avicci hell.

What you are presenting is a very inaccurate view of the Buddhadharma. Let me set some facts in order:

* The sutras do teach extensively of supernatural powers

* The sutras do teach extensively of both mind-only philosophy and anti-physicalism (in both the sravakayana and the Mahayana!)

* There is no evidence that those aspects of the sutras should not be taken literally

* Those aspects of the sutras are indeed taken literally by most Buddhists historically

* Most Buddhists in the world follow paths that don't involve meditation/samadhi/concentration

* Buddhism ultimately even has no concept of metaphor vs. literal, since everything is emptiness anyway, so already it denies the fundamental reality of anything

If you are actually willing to learn about Buddhism, not just some western misconception of it, I am willing to point you to resources...

however from what you say I have a feeling you will just abuse the teaching, and likely be reborn in Hell, due to your fundamentalist religious belief, therefore I will not pass on any resources to you beyond what I did unless you can somehow prove to me that you won't abuse it

It's okay if YOU don't want to believe those things, but going around and telling others that they are wrong for accurately portraying the Dharma is unwise. Please do more research, ideally with an actual teacher
I really think that it is a disservice to Dijkstra to remember him as the Don Rickles of computer science.
I would call dancing lights “dancing” too. As has already been said, it’s a linguistic issue.

And it’s perfectly reasonable to say a machine “thinks.” It’s just good to understand that it’s a metaphor and not a literal description of what the machine is doing. I avoid saying machines think because it’s confusing, but in principle it’s fine.
It sucks. Rant it out. Cry it out. Do what you need to deal with the grief. Visualize the worst case scenarios. They might not be as bad as it feels, it might just be the shock of an identity shift.

It is a bit like a marriage... and a divorce. The expectation is to move together as a single unit, not two individuals. Sometimes the partner feels trapped and wants out. You managed to convince the investor it was worth committing to, but you couldn't convince the co-founder.

As someone who has been in the co-founder seat multiple times, very often I think we get stuck in bad situations too. Sometimes selling or closing the company is a better idea than raising.

We sold a company once, only for the acquirers to realize they didn't want to do it either. It wasn't loss making or difficult, we just felt like we were wasting our lives doing it. As you say, founders don't get to quit.
I’d argue modern languages have taken many of the attributes of LISP, not least the garbage collector, development tools, higher-order functions, etc. The difference is that other languages use parsing technology based on Chomsky’s grammar whereas blub languages like Lisp can’t see the value in it. But I’d say if you are programming in Java or Python you are most of the way to LISP from Pascal or C.

For that matter, Common Lisp had what was probably the first modern language specification, that, as much as it pretended to be machine independent, was carefully designed to be implementable on the 32-bit microprocessors that were then coming online. There was a time when I thought Java was the first programming language to be specified by adults but know I know they were following in the footsteps of Common Lisp.
I don't think it's mere proximity, but any unsupervised interaction with untrusted adults is a problem for children.

Neither interaction would be pleasant for a child - and both could easily become unsafe.

The hazy picture I get is that you are a hustler and surrounded yourself with (as you say) risk averse employees. You made one of those employees a "co-founder" to lock him in? But he doesn't have your hustle mindset. Maybe never will.

The simple, but not easy, option is to take back the shares and let him go. Trying to harangue him to stay is only going to make things even messier down the track.

So the right thing by your investors and employees - keep running the business. Perhaps one of the remaining employees could step up to be the team leader - but only as an employee.

By definition a co-founder should be on equal terms with the other co-founder. As co-founders you share the product/service vision and have compatible attitudes to risk, finances, etc. You just cannot promote an employee to co-founder.
