You are mixing up two concerns.

(1) In standard economics the way to exploit a monopoly is by supplying less to customers than what a competitive market would provide. That enables you to charge more.

There are at least two ways to get around that: you can try extensive regulation, or you can auction off the right to run the 'natural monopoly'. A competitive auction open to all comers will naturally capture whatever extra revenue exploitation of the monopoly could bring. (You can also mix and match.)

(2) The second concern is about who should own the entity that provides the service in question. You claim that it should not be the private sector, but don't bring any arguments for it. (The arguments you do bring are applicable to the first concern.)

I have seen plenty of JSON applications abuse the "$" key namespace for comments. JSON Schema, for example, uses `$comment`[1]. So no, I don't think this is a shingle that can be uniquely hung around YAML's neck.

The Norway problem, anchors & references, infinite ways to begin a multi-line string, on the other hand, are all legitimate grievances that are somewhat unique to YAML.

Edit: And note: what makes this hack bizarre is that they chose to do it in comments, despite YAML having ample syntax for an inline dictionary or whatever else. YAML offers all kinds of exquisitely complicated ropes to hang yourself with, and they chose plain old boring comments!

The specific comment aside: I would judge your characterization as categorically overly generous, and that such benefit of the doubt is problematic from a policy perspective.

I think there is one, actually, which is: be consistent. At least then, those who interact with you regularly can learn your style and calibrate accordingly. Even on forums, you can look to one's commenting history to calibrate your reading of a comment with no other context. I've certainly done this, on occasions when some comment deviated significantly from the norm of polite discourse, usually to find that the commenter simply has a different norm than I expect.

It's a risk worth taking. Opening the front page only to find my project there made me very happy and motivated. I couldn't believe my luck. Someone somehow independently discovered my project, posted it on HN, people were engaging with it and somehow I managed to not miss the small window of time where all this was happening.
Some projects are purely experimental, while some carry the hope that they can be monetized. My point is that I have a habit of abandoning hobbies, books, writing draft, and side-projects altogether thinking my motivation for them has been lost. I don't believe one should force themselves to finish things, but lost motivation is sometimes temporary or a sign of picking up not-so-good ideas. Realizing that and figuring out ways to sustain motivation is an important meta-skill.

- Release as open source if that was your intent or you want it (feel like) to be open sourced

- If you strictly made it to make money, then release it as a paid product but assume it might not make any money at all or that it will take time to make money. I believe that there's a general advice to shut down a project that doesn't make money in a very short time but some projects take awhile to gain traction. You can also use this as a learning experience in marketing/sales. Play around with the pricing over time (starting with much lower rates than you'd planned for) and see what works. You'll learn from it.

- Another option is to shut down the project entirely. You still have your code and they might come in handy when you work on other projects in the future (this has happened to me with multiple side projects)

There's a lot of evidence indicating that the hygiene hypothesis is not accurate or at the very least not the whole story.

Most of the waterproofing in jackets comes from ePTFE, which while fluorine is in it, is not dangerous at all. There are other PFCs that go into Goretex that are of concern, but to my understanding all were eliminated in the production of goretex in 2023. To my understanding there’s no remaining reason to worry about ePTFE based jackets made from Goretex either in its use, degradation over time, or its production.

Having recently discarded one that was gifted a few years ago, I can say that the "best" rain jackets are essentially Formula 1 supercars. They have low lifespans by design; even if you are careful with reapplying the magic reconditioning formula, you will still sweat on it. Eventually the tape covering the interior seams will get wet. Then moisture gets trapped under the tape, and at that point it's just a moldy windshell.

In contrast a simple leather jacket or rain poncho is fine for everyday "it's a little rainy" or "it's really rainy" scenarios. If you are using the ultralights effectively, it's probably in a sportive context where you are going to use it just for that sport, for a few seasons.

I have sympathy for your position, but you don't even need exceptions.

Go uses a tuple for error handling. As you say the compiler can't help you avoid Schrödinger's errors. If Go instead had used something like Rust's `Result` and had given you the tools necessary for dealing with generics, then most of your objections would go away.

I just gave you a few examples of fairly modern Lisps to prove my point that it's not dying. I can list some more, Fennel team just last week shipped an update. Jank is being developed rapidly. Clojure-Dart that allows you to build Flutter apps is also relatively recent addition to the family. Besides Clojurescript and Clojure CLR, there's Babashka to write bash-scripts and NBB to write nodejs scripts in Clojure. There's Clojerl and LFE to write Lisp for ErlangVM. There's Hy - Lisp dialect embedded in Python. There's Lux that targets JVM, JS, Python, Lua and Ruby. There's Joker written in Go. There's Calcit built with Rust. These are all quite vibrant and frequently updated projects, if I start listing projects that have not seen comits in their main branches for a few months, the list would be long.

You're mistaking Lisp for languages like COBOL, Fortran, ObjectiveC, and Pascal. These languages can be considered as dying. I'm hesitant to add PHP to this list because there's still a ton of PHP code out there, and it is still being developed, but it seems that people are finally, slowly moving away from it.

> is better than forcing them to learn a new, unfamiliar language.

But have you actually tried it? Have you ever tried comparing JSON and EDN, JSX/HTML with Hiccup; Javascript coding experience with Clojurescript? I have. I have seen the both worlds. Besides popularity, there's not much that Javascript (in my opinion) can offer to improve simplicity and joy of writing software compared to Clojurescript.

> No one at my university or the people I have worked with have used Clojure

Compared to other programming languages, Clojure is niche, yet actively used in the industry. Big companies like Apple, Walmart, and Cisco have large Clojure codebases. There are also smaller startups like Pitch.com and Shortcut.com that use Clojure. Interesting projects like XTDB, Roam Research, and Loqseq are built with Clojure. Even NASA uses Clojure.

It's easy to be blindsided when you're constantly focused on popular things like JavaScript and Python. But if you actually take the time to look around, you may be surprised to see some interesting things. I promise you, Lisp is far from dying. On the contrary, it just keeps popping back. Maybe one day try learning it, you may find quite a few unexpected gems and finally understand the reasons why it refuses to die.

Circuit switched analog POTS has been dead for a long time, but delays were limited to amplifier delays (almost nothing) and speed of light in wires or radio.

Digitial T1 PRI calling may not be fully dead, you might have a miniscule delay for the analog to digital sampling, but the multiplexing on a T1 and higher is one sample per channel at a time. Where trunks meet, there's got to be a buffer to synchronize, but it doesn't need to be more than one sample. At 8000Hz sampling, a couple one sample buffers here and there doesn't amount to much. Of course, there's still amplifiers and the speed of light in wires and radio.

For VOIP calls, most audio codecs deal in 20ms packets, and calling software often sends between 1 and 5 audio packets in an IP packet. Plus it takes time to encode and decode. So you've probably got 25 to 110ms sampling delay added there. Then there's a jitter buffer. T1 samples arrive on time, pretty much all the time; UDP packets tend to have inconsistent delay (jitter) so you've got to add an artificial delay of (worst case delay - best case delay). That depends a lot on the properties of the path between the two devices; shared medium networking like wifi, cell networks, cable modems, old unswitched ethernet can have a lot of difference between worst and best case delay. Some software has a fixed length jitter buffer of about 1-2x the IP packet length; others will adapt to the observed arrival time differences, up to some limit.

Some (I think most) video calling applications send audio and video as separate streams of IP packets. It's also possible to include audio and video data in the same IP packets. It is possible to reduce audio delay in that case, by using smaller audio packets, reducing the sampling delay. It's technically possible to send small audio packets at higher frequencies for an audio only call, but the overhead of an IP header, UDP (usually) header, and application header is already pretty significant. Sending twenty 1 ms audio packets would use a lot more bandwidth than sending one 20 ms audio packet; I'd guess about 10 times as much. But if you piggyback on video packets, it might not be as costly, and video packets are usually high frequency anyway.

You also need to do some fancy tracing for reference counting, because when a big data structure 'dies', you need to trace it completely.

Of course, reference counting also pays the price of fiddling with its counters on every single read. So every read-only workload turns into a read-write workload.

Garbage collection has no such overhead until you start the collector. (Basically all the overhead is amortised.)
