> The thing with masterpieces is that they don’t hold that status because they can’t be replicated

Copying the old masters is often an important part of developing one's own skills as a painter.

https://www.sightsize.com/old-masters-copying-older-masters-...

> The training of painters in past centuries regularly involved copying old master drawings and paintings. To that end, most museums happily allowed students into their buildings for that purpose (some still do). But the practice was not limited to students. Even fully trained old masters copied older masters.

Art: France’s long history of copying Old Masters at the Louvre - https://www.connexionfrance.com/article/Mag/Culture/Art-Fran...

> The practice of copying and recreating paintings by the Old Masters at the Louvre goes back to when the museum first opened in 1793, when any artist could turn up and use a freely available easel to copy a masterpiece.

> ...

> Not all artists copied works to improve their skills. Some took up the practice professionally, since the demand for copies of masterpieces in the Louvre was high throughout the nineteenth century.

> ...

> These days only 250 copyists are permitted to install themselves in front of the museum’s art works, and a two-year waiting list shows that there are plenty of hopefuls waiting in the wings to take up a palette and brush.

> Those granted access have up to three months to work on their copy.
Everyone here is acting as if it's impossible to script git commits or email replies as a scheduled task or even put someone on the night shift to click send - to give the appearance of being somewhere you're not.

There was WAY more than one person involved here. Every email, commit, etc. was a deliberate task that was carefully planned.

What’s the income like, though? The further back you go, the more women were held back on hours or career advancement, while many traditionally male occupations had more opportunities & security. The World Bank figures that site uses include anyone who is “economically active” so a household in 1980 with a full-time father and a mother working part time at much lower wages still count as a two-income family the same as a dual-lawyer couple in 2020. The more interesting figure for me is the pay disparity halving over that period, which sounds like a lot of women moving from lower skill/hour jobs to better paying ones.

> How does effect knows that it needs to call this lambda whenever parity gets changed?

Basically all implementations of signals (by whatever name) build a dynamic dependency graph, where edges are established by reading nodes. In a tracking context like this hypothetical `effect`, the read also establishes an edge between the signal’s state node and the effect’s computation node—effectively subscribing the latter to subsequent writes to the former, in order to determine when to rerun the computation.

This dismissal of 'tech debt' as a phrase/concept based on weak strawman examples is just a contrarian rant followed by LinkedIn-esque advice that seems ignorant of the fact that hyper focus on 'immediate benefit' is almost always the cause of.. the technical problems that should be phrased in terms of their immediate benefit, or something.
Then they should refuse it on technical grounds not ethical grounds, and provide a technical criteria for admission of images.

Agreeing and amplifying: I believe multi-paradigm is a useful term, but you can always find a prioritization in the paradigms. Your language is going to privilege either mutable or immutable data. It can support both, but one is going to be considered the default. Even if the language itself doesn't, the standard library and the resulting influence it has on the 3rd party libraries will result in a preference. Your language will privilege one side or the other of the expression problem. Your language will privilege statements or functions. Your language will privilege static or dynamic types. Your language will prioritize compile time things or run time things. And so on for quite a few things. Even when someone finds an interesting way to split the difference in one of those categories, that does not defy this categorization, it adds a new one, a new way of prioritizing. But that new way still won't be a completely even 50% split.

There are many multiparadigm languages. They are even the norm now. But being multiparadigm doesn't mean they all support all paradigms equally. Programming X in Y is a problem for almost all combinations of X and Y for X != Y, because the language will always have a "grain" to it. Thus, it is still meaningful to argue about which paradigm preference is suitable to which tasks.

Even two of the most similar languages there are, at least in terms of language spec, Python and Ruby, demonstrate significant differences in the orientation of the library ecosystem in some of their philosophies.

> The problem is that the people who act on this and minimise dependencies are at a significant economic disadvantage to those who don't

People say this, but it my experience, it simply isn't true. You're at a _slight_ economic disadvantage, and if you anticipate it, and correctly staff and plan for it, it's entirely manageable. The huge win is that in the long run you are massively more productive and you're not held back by framework incompatibilities, version updates, or web standards changing faster than you can keep up.

Many shops don't have the mentality or the expertise to actually do this, partly I feel because this canard as taken as rank truth and no one ever dares to challenge it. Web standards have gotten much better in the past 10 years, they're actually pleasant and useful now.

> we're talking massive differentials in productivity

You have an ability to get something that feels "fully featured" off the ground more quickly. I'd wait for the actual user reviews before I make a decision on the quality of the output.
To add to my parent comment, I think there’s another point to be made here: ‘post-paradigm’ is, to some extent, a contradiction in terms. You can’t build a language without its basic structure implying some paradigm (or possibly more than one).

There’s a perspective I find useful here. I tend to think of different ‘programming paradigms’ as different approaches to solving problems. In imperative languages, you solve problems by modifying values in sequence until you get to the answer; in functional languages, you solve problems by building up a function which gives you back the answer; and so on.

The key thing here is, you do need to give yourself some way of solving problems. That translates directly to the paradigm which your programming language adopts. If you give yourself more than one way of solving problems, then the language becomes multi-paradigm. In rare cases, you might even end up inventing a totally novel problem-solving approach, and hence a new paradigm… but even that’s not ‘post-paradigm’, it’s just another paradigm.
You can find basically exact duplicate of stories like this from multiple years ago. Similar type of claim in the headline, similar type of article that praises some particular company that plans to deploy driverless trucks soon. The company gets some press attention, makes some money from investors, then cashes out, then in a couple more years the company no longer exists and you see another clone of this story about company Y that plans to deploy driverless trucks soon. Repeat ad nasueum. Honestly comes across as a straight up grift. I wonder if the author or publication has any stake in these companies.
Given how much weight “Gmail”, “Outlook”, and “Yahoo” email providers pull, I have always wondered about a different type of attack on business entities: “targeted failed deliverability”

Basically in this attack, a victim (particularly a business or mailing list or NGO) is sending out bulk emails to which the attacker owns. Even sourcing this out to shady off shore click farms would work too.

Attacker then marks the victim’s emails as spam in Gmail/Yahoo/Outlook. The “AI spam filters” pick up on this new “spam activity” and will then mark future emails as spam or even delete them before reaching real customers.

After a year, company bleeds money on a quarterly basis. Ad departments wonder why there is decreased engagement through email. Technical departments are bamboozled.

Maybe a big company will be able to weather the storm or just ditch email altogether. But small companies would definitely take a hit. Even smaller NGO or political mailing lists would lose donations (assuming email was a significant source of new donations).

Probably a very low vector of attack tbh, but something that has lingered in my mind.
An isomorphism is a structure preserving 1:1 map between two sets or some other pair of structures. While Java and Kotlin are interoperable (because they both target the JVM), they are not isomorphic for precisely the reasons you described. If it was, then you could do round trip machine translation on the syntax in either direction and have a result that's identical to the original. You can't do that because Kotlin extends Java in nontrivial semantic ways (for a concrete example, see Nothing in the article you linked).

Cpp2 isn't trying to be a successor language to C++, the article states that it's trying to present an identical feature set in a new skin where the best practices of modern C++ are more ergonomic without introducing any new functionality.
So you argument here is based on something that hasn't happened, but just something you pulled out of nowhere. Or was this meant humorously?

I think no commits on December 25 is not enough to go by. He's been active for about 2 years, so that's what, 1-2 Christmases? I assume he doesn't commit literally every day. So it could be a coincidence that he didn't on those particular 1-2 days. Also, in many Orthodox Christian majority countries including those in UTC+2 they don't celebrate on 12/25.

I agree with all of it. I did recently a timeline with hundreds of elements, 3D transforms etc. Everything was smooth and not because I was particularly clever, but because browsers are fast. All direct DOM manipulation.

My complaint with modern frameworks is not FPS, but rather that a hello world often requires 20k files plus a compilation step and the upshot isn’t particularly clear to me.

The ruling party in India legalized corruption using brazen moves such as electoral bonds and is now angry that a small party is continuing to get votes. They have been using laws that assume you are guilty and expect you prove otherwise. The PMLA laws are meant to imprison people and is against the concept of natural justice anywhere in the world except in tin pot dictatorships. India is migrating towards becoming a religious dictatorship that doesn't tolerate opposition or dissent.

The current government has a whole slew of stupid decisions to its name. To its credit though, it has managed to brainwash a large section of India's technically educated and financially well off upper classes. It has the media, sports, public spaces, campuses under full control monitored by policies, online trolls, and goons.
This was not at all clear to me, nor is it clear upon rereading it now with this information. Plenty of people believe that without reservation.
After having so many sudden failures on SSDs (usually the controller), you may want to consider a spinning rust backup too as they're a little more forgiving in many regards, even if they're more susceptible to shock damage.

In the same breath, lost a lot of spinning rusts over the years, and been at the mercy of data recovery services. Multiple copies, both cold and hot ones backed by parity are important.

I've lost drives I'm restoring backups from multiple times too, as restoration operations tend to be intensive and extended. I also don't recommend the average external spinning rust in a caddy as they're usually not very well ventilated, so they can get very hot and suffer from diminished longevity. Not to mention that a lot of off-the-shelf external drives already in an enclosure are frequently B-grade, or refurbished drives. Yes, even from big manufacturers. Storage is fairly woeful.

A webforum I know has a rule against marking email notifications they send at spam (You can opt out of receiving them through the site, they just don't want you doing it on the email client end) to avoid this happening to them. For a small org, it's kind of a real risk?

I'm not sure how larger orgs mitigate it.
It's all subjective of course, and not detract from this man's amazing work, but I find the rough stone to be just as beautiful, if not more so than the final polished piece. Especially in those final vanity shots, the shades and imperfections are really beautiful to me.

They also committed with a different email address and a different name once or twice. This may have been intentional, though, to misdirect.

I’m also a fan of local state, but there are some cases where it makes sense for a bit of global state - mainly user context.

However you can use signals for local state as well and they work amazingly. Being able to assign a new value to a signal without having to go though a setter is a way cleaner pattern, in my opinion.

The other use cause is for communication between micro frontends. It’s so nice to just be able to import/export a signal and get its reactivity. Before them, I would create a pub/sub pattern and that’s just not as clean.

I agree with all of this. But I’ll point out that ‘the paradigms can be prioritised’ wasn’t intended to be my main point there. I wanted rather to refute the argument that Rust etc. aren’t ‘post-paradigm’ at all: on the contrary, they fit in quite well with existing paradigms.

> Even two of the most similar languages there are, at least in terms of language spec, Python and Ruby, demonstrate significant differences in the orientation of the library ecosystem in some of their philosophies.

Hmm… I feel you can get a lot more similar than that. Python and Ruby are actually rather different to my mind. Rather, you could take OCaml vs SML, or Scheme vs Racket. The differences are still there, but it’s much more subtle.

I agree with you that RH may put a cap on rewards earnings or change the program later. We have seen issuers take away travel benefits before, but I haven't seen a lot, if any, cards that roll back rewards.

For me, because the RH CEO in an interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QT5OMUdaZtg) said he wanted the card to be profitable on a standalone basis, I just don't see it that way, but you can be right for all I know.

I got one part, at least it seems, wrong in my blog, that was my bad. I just want to say I did not forget about the interest income side of the card, I just don't think it will be profitable. Again I can be wrong. But thanks for the interaction.
