The linked page is pretty self explanatory. It’s TS with some extra features, many of which are already proposals for the language. Cool for an experiment, not good for a maintained codebase.

Maybe you just want better hearing without knowing the extent of your hearing problem.
That looks interesting but imo the syntax is too terse. Coming from Rust and Golang I very much appreciate the use of sigils and syntax sugar in moderation but especially the pipe operators look like they could lead to hard to debug code very easily.
Ah that's embarrassing. I had wanted to link to this article since it contained some context. https://nypost.com/2022/06/30/twitter-suspends-jordan-peters...

Thanks for pointing it out, will fix.

I love this company. Yeah!
Yeah nobody believes it now but back then everybody did. We treated it exactly like how we believe airplanes fly. Some air flow and fluid dynamics. Airplanes fly so why not fan deaths? I guess doctors passed it off as physics and physicians passed it off as physiology.
Collective action by people willing to listen to experts is needed to achieve positive infrastructure results. Infrastructure being a precept to growth, I would not be surprised if our inability to do this leads to the West's current global position becoming greatly diminished.
Stoker's Dracula is one of my all-time favorite books. I may now just read it again. My only regret in reading the last time was reading the modern take in the forward.
Civet. Kopi luwak coffee. It's CoffeeScript.

I wrote a bunch of CoffeeScript back in the day, and everyone I've spoken to about it feels the same, that it was a bad idea in hindsight, and a language dead end. The language was only syntactic sugar, and by not bringing anything else to the table, was unconvincing for ports and support in other ecosystems. It now seems that most codebases have been decaffeinated though.

Civet looks like it adds a little more, but the things that aren't just syntactic sugar are just a grab bag of TC39 proposals. I'm a big fan of language proposals in general, and having a language that adds all of them for research purposes seems like a nice thing to have. Haskell did this well with GHC language options. Is this a research language though? It seems not.

What's the benefit over Typescript? A few less characters? Faster TC39 proposal integrations? What happens if a proposal is rejected, does it get removed from Civet? What's the cost? What happens as Typescript and Civet diverge? What if the TS tooling doesn't support Civet features?
Can anyone here with connections to CppNow get them to upload a corrected video? The lecture and the slides are out of sync.
This refers to the deprecation of 2048 bit RSA after 2030. I wrote an article attacking that policy:

* https://articles.59.ca/doku.php?id=em:20482030

The document specifies that SHA-1 in HMACs is the be entirely disallowed after 2030. That seems like it would cause needless reimplementation of systems with the associated chance of security problems and expense. SHA-1 used in an HMAC is generally known to be secure.

You're assuming spacetime behaves like the set of reals (something with cardinal ℵ1, if you accept the continuity hypothesis), an object that even if you stay confined within the bounds of pure mathematics, behaves in very, very weird ways.

It may be that spacetime at small scales maps better to a different kind of mathematical object and not even a grid-like one.
IIRC, years ago there was an EU directive forcing phone companies to separate service contracts and device payment plans. Network locking still exists, but unlock codes need to be free after you've paid off the phone. This leads to a situation here (Ireland) where some people are billed monthly for their phone itself, but the have a pre-pay plan on the sim card inside.

I thought the US had made a similar change banning that kind of co-mingling of charges.
Interesting but not sure how much do I buy it.

I would rather do with a stricter super set of TypeScript with some sugar/conveniences around its many verbose but useful features like branded types.
It seems that often even Dracula is viewed as a "good bad book". Not high quality literature, but great to read.

I realise I've used vague terms in that sentence, even setting aside the tricky question of what makes the things often described as great works "greater" than things that are looked down on, but might be much more popular.

I once read a great foreword to a novel lamenting the loss of "good bad books", citing Dracula as an example. It was by a famous author (as I remember), but I can't remember, and can't find, the foreword or the novel I'm thinking of.
Really redminds me of coffeescript, lots of special syntax that doesn't really help readability?

I have a hard time understanding the motivation of this project other than syntactic sugar-maxxing JS/TS.

George was only "radical" because he sought out the root of the existence of involuntary poverty in the midst of riches, and then described a simple way of eradicating it.

Economists employed by universities founded by monopolists understood that their route to security - tenure - did not have room for even mentioning George's ideas to their students. (Witness what the Wharton School at Penn did to Scott Nearing, whose ideas up to that point (1915) were largely Georgist.)

As Thoreau said, "There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil
to one who is striking at the root." The evil he was referring to is poverty.

George was pointing out the root, and provided the tool for removing it. It's too bad that it hasn't yet been implemented.
This has got to be satire, right?
All we know is people were already talking about this in 1910.
Hmm. I’ll have to try to remember that :)
The funds from publishing also going to an org focused on those who suffer hearing loss—-which is for Stoker’s mother who was a hearing loss campaigner.

I also wondered if he was tipped off.

This doesn't make sense given what the person you're responding to is claiming. If several people over several non-overlapping time periods have the same positive experience then decline, what you're stating is that the company is having memory loss every few years, decides to go for the pros, then remembers they didn't actually like doing that.

Maybe that is what's happening, and management is just cycling through the same way the engineers are. Walmart does have plenty of money to relearn lessons every few years, but I also would be surprised for the same reason - they didn't find billions of dollars under a rock. They're good at making money. Making the same mistake with personnel repeatedly is not a good way to make money (or maybe it is, what do I know).

> Almost 100 million pounds wasted that could be spent on programming

That's kinda assuming that everybody would continue to pay the license fee if the enforcement was stopped.

I have no clue how much revenue the TV licenses generate, or whether 100 million for administration and enforcement is a reasonable number. It feels unlikely to me?

Google google google:

In 2021, there were 24.8 million households in England
The TV licence fee is currently £159 a year

So there'd be 4,000 million or so in revenue if every household paid for the license (more including the rest of the UK). I _guess_ maybe 2.5% isn't a unreasoable number for administration and enforcementment? It's better that, say, Apple taking 30%...
This very same cynical and manipulative approach is used today by many apps, websites, forms, data harvesters, data resellers, marketers, tech companies, and governments - with the same basic purpose.
That comment is a reflection of my pedantry and I don't think we're actually disagreeing.

It's not possible to know the right answers because there never were any. This means the test has no predictive power, not that it's impossible, and again, since some Whites unable to prove education did have to contend with this, it was designed that way intentionally.

I feel "near impossible literacy test" is a terrible description. The "intentionally ambiguous literacy test" would be more apt.

More worrying is I am unable to find a definitive provenance for this document. It suggests it was used in the early 1900s but the print quality and format seems unusual in several ways to me. Which is why I attempted to reduce it in favor of considering the rest of the system.
What if they just sit and talk? What is the description of this? What if only part of the communication is relevant? What if it's not relevant at all because they reacted to atmospheric changes? Or electromagnetic signals, that can't be observed on video? Or smell? Or sound outside of human
hearing frequency? What if the decision based on communication is deferred? etc etc

As I mentioned before, only the most obvious examples of behaviors and context can be translated into anything meaningful.

Seems close enough. The article even discusses how it is "often considered a compensation for illegal file sharing". And even if it's common, that doesn't make it any less unfair. (Indeed, the longest section of the article is titled "Questions on fairness".)

Civet has so many quality of life improvements! It's good that it exists sort of as a playground for ideas that could maybe in the future be adopted by JS itself, kinda like how it went with CoffeeScript.
You might be staying there a long time because you're fuming, so: nope.
v6 is just as easy to censor as v4. Given the popularity of Veitnamese pho noodles over there, I don't think internet censorship is as important an objective as you estimate. Have you noticed how many Chinese tourists there are around the world? Not much you can do about internet when any of them could just pick up a newspaper.
You are never going convince someone whose job will never be able to shift to remote that you are pulling up anyone but yourself with a crusade for WFH. You just won’t get the sympathy because having to write code in an office is not equivalent to working in a sweatshop and frankly everyone seems to know this with the exception of the opinionated tech class.

So you should realize that you are your only advocate in this fight and if you can’t convince your organization why RTO isn’t in their best interest, your option is to find a company that is friendly to your remote working needs or settle in to your new normal…which was the old normal for most tech workers until March of 2020.

There appears to be a lot of hate towards this in the comments (because it's not perfect?), but I feel strongly that we need explicit bodies of knowledge, along with certifications for having been trained on it.

Every company I go to, the base of knowledge of all the engineers is a complete crapshoot. Most of them lack fundamental knowledge about software engineering. And they all lack fundamental knowledge about the processes used to do the work.

That's not how engineering should work. If I hire an architect, I shouldn't have to quiz them to find out if they understand Young's Modulus, much less teach them about it on the job. But that's completely normal in software engineering today, because nobody is expected to have already learned a universal body of knowledge.

I get this thing isn't perfect. But not being perfect isn't a rational argument for not having one at all. And we certainly need to hold people accountable to have learned it before we give them a job. We need a body of knowledge, it needs to be up to date and relevant, and we need to prove people have actually read it and understood it. If this isn't it, fine, but we still need one.

(this is, by the way, kind of the whole fucking point of a trade school and professional licensing... why the fuck we don't have one for software engineers/IT, boggles my fucking mind, if this is supposed to be the future of work)
I think if you asked people who cheat if it was ethically wrong, they would admit it cheating is indeed unethical.

But we are really great about rationalizing away ethical issues. I suspect is a good grade is worth more than a personal sense of ethics.

As much as a med school wants ethical students, they want students with 4.0s more.

300 pages* is perhaps not quite the length one would expect for Version 4.0 of such an ambitious undertaking.

The only reason I sign up for any streaming service at all is because if I go through Apple, I can immediately turn around and cancel it after I sign up. I'll still get the 30 days I paid for, and I don't have to worry about forgetting to cancel later.

Which is probably precisely why Disney and Hulu don't want you to go through Apple.
This is not really the point though. Why is "uses Chomskian language" the criteria for whether it not it's okay to to change and slaughter a living being?
“We have now discovered that diatom pyrenoids are encased in a lattice-like protein shell,” says Dr. Manon Demulder, author on both studies. “The PyShell not only gives the pyrenoid its shape, but it helps create a high CO2 concentration in this compartment. This enables Rubisco to efficiently fix CO2 from the ocean and convert it into nutrients.”
Which question(s)? They all seem to have single answers to me.

That being said, I would expect to fail this test.
After seeing so much negativity and controversy around this book in the comments, I'm quite convinced to giving it a read.

I've seen so little "engineering" in software world, regardless of the company and how many ivy league devs it hires to be fully convinced that a work of encoding software engineering knowledge is worth the effort, and even attempts like this are valuable reads in such a gigantic vacuum, even just to start a discussion and to be able to disagree on definitions and practices.

>12-TET is a compromise that stood the test of time: ultimately a slightly “clangy” dominant seventh is preferable to the corrupt fifths and thirds you get with unequal temperaments.

The dominance of 12TET is not only about how well it approximates certain intervals. Equal temperaments in general are specifically about being able to transpose music freely without altering the "character" of the music. On the other hand, specifically having 12 notes in an octave turns out to produce some rather nice music-theoretical properties. Many equal-temperament tunings are regular diatonic tunings (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_diatonic_tuning), but 12TET is unique in that the size (as in, logarithmic pitch ratio) of the semitone is exactly half that of the whole tone.

>composers with picky ears should just bite the bullet with 17-TET or something.

For what it's worth, 17-TET (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/17_equal_temperament) has exceptionally "bad" thirds, both major and minor. It has an excellent semitone, since the just chromatic semitone is equal to the difference between the just major third and just minor third.) 19-TET (approximates third-comma meantone, and has an excellent minor third) and 31-TET (approximates quarter-comma meantone, and has an excellent major third) are common choices.

53-TET allows for approximating "zero meantone" - i.e. an almost exact perfect fifth - and a single such step is quite close in size to the syntonic comma. This has fairly dubious value in itself, since it's a lot of notes and the 2-cent difference between a 12TET perfect fifth and a just perfect fifth is not discernible for most people. However, as I understand it, some traditional Indian and Arabic tunings can be understood as subsets of 53TET.

Electronic musicians with an interest in such exotic systems (or just microtonality in general) have a surprisingly complex system of jargon for describing tuning - since many of the systems they use don't depend on traditional music theory. Sometimes these systems are chosen for deliberate dissonance; some don't have pure octaves. (In this world (https://en.xen.wiki/w/Main_Page), equal temperament tunings are often labeled as "edo" - "equal division of the octave" - rather than TET.)

The company I got acquired had a huge software library. On the way out on the last day at the old company, I put my cube number on every box that had software in it. It all went to my new cube, and when ever someone asked for an old manual, I would fish it out put their name on it and deliver it surriptishouly the next morning
It took more than a year for the product manager to figure it all out, and by that time, they figured that all the software was too old. So ... I simply asked if I could have it all. They said o.k. I took home a box every day for more than a month, reg cards and license keys included. I sold every scrap.

Unexpectly a book I always wanted to read, which was written by a VP, he said he was coming by, so I had him autograph it. His note "please take it easy on them." Sold for more than $200.

Its just RIFs camouflaged as RTO mandates. Management loves this sort of thing, a karmic freebie.

Corpos don't want you to 'put down roots' unless they can keep you from leaving, gives them more leverage over you. Knock-on effect is atomized communities, made worse by internet-atomized culture. It's a version of providing meals/gyms/amenities: check out any time you want, never leave.

Remote work is so obviously better for society, efficiency, and costs that responsible executives and shareholders should demand it. Talented employees should turn down offers and tell recruiters why: RTO mandates are a sign of weak and even impotent management (you can tell by the hand-wavy B.S. they use to justify it btw).
Civet reminds me of Coffeescript but now in TypeScript.

This has made me even more convinced that the future of JavaScript is JavaScript.

We will be seeing JavaScript (natively) having all the types, features and proposals that TypeScript has and the industry will eventually move on from TypeScript.

I think I judge these mostly by how much they know that falls outside the expected curriculum. It doesn’t even have to be related to the job, but the indication that they’ll learn without external motivation is a very large signal in their favor.

There’s also the ‘having an opinion on things’ factor. Someone that thinks things should be done a certain way, and can motivate that, will always be higher on my ranking, regardless of what that opinion is.
I'd shy away from storing any non-volatile state on Hetzner. As I said, I'd mostly consider it for stateless compute-bound applications.

If I was looking to scale up an existing operation considerably and minimize costs as much as possible, I'd consider spinning up e.g. a Postgres cluster or minio on their infra, which would be significantly cheaper than RDS or S3. But it's not something that I would gladly do---the storage deals provided by hyperscalers are quite reasonable, as you say.
Rumors suggest a toy 22bit RSA cipher factorization was recently demonstrated in China on D-wave quantum annealing platforms, and several paper details of the scaling potential were censored.

i.e. the NIST advice to incorporate quantum resistant algorithms shouldn't be taken lightly. For some, transitioning means wrapping a well-tested RSA system in something newer like FIPS 203, 204, or 205.

We live in interesting times for certain, as gnugpg with Kyber support has static build fails on some platforms (libassuan 3.0.1 bug). =3

And don't forget states with those policies are losing OB/GYNs and other medical professionals rapidly[0] so even if you don't care about abortion your medical care or the medical care of the women you love is going to be shit (even by US standards) if you get stuck there.

Women are dying not only because they have pregnancies that should be terminated due to nonviability but also because doctors are afraid of treating them while they're pregnant[1].

Any company with a shred of care for their female employees and the families of their male employess should be leaving those states.
