I'll read it with much interest, thanks a lot. You know, I like the sound of you and the makers of Xabber. The "myth" of XMPP being unsuited to mobile / IM is clearly overblown if you're only even half-right about i

The feeling is mutual, you piked my interest. Thanks for the food for thought. About positive emotions in work, my personal take-away — took me two decades to figure this out, but I think it's really true: The goal is not to try really

Same here, GUI is a secondary concern in the Go ecosystem. But it only takes one big project, right... Tbh, I don't know how or why the language wouldn't be suited to very elegant front-end design, I feel the biggest obstacle is g

It seems I was too hasty in writing my view, because yours is much better worded and I agree wholeheartedly. The only difference seems to be meta: I indeed consider overcoming struggles a form of learning; but you're learning that (to

(also in relation to your other response w. details) This is very, very promising! I'm so glad to hear XMPP is alive and kicking; I'll definitely explore these packages of yours. Thanks for the work and for sharing. It's been

Oh indeed. And how enriching it is to the programming and systems ecosystem at large. I'm so thankful that computing evolved so fast that we can be here now, from there/then, and yet still have relatively young giants walking amon

In addition, I would think the relative safety and attractivity of finance in Switzerland is also key to making sure said currency doesn't become irrelevant. For a small country, they command impressive power in the financial space, ho

As someone who learned English mostly from entertainment or practical needs (online, living in a non-English speaking country), and never really spent much time "learning" rules beyond 12 — no more than my birth language, which I

I will not counterargue your main point because this is indeed a matter of debate from a 'technical' standpoint. However, in broader economic terms, I think the idea that AI may 'accelerate' the world in general is large
640.
by K0SM0S 7y ago
Agreed. This is how we use the term in political science anyway. Even if an "extreme" opinion becomes majoritary, it remains just as extreme on a supposed "spectrum" of possibles. "More" than "extreme&quot

A little OT but this is why I fell in love with Go (Golang) I think. There's something about the elegance of concise programs written in simple languages. The 1500 npm dependencies problem you speak of is exactly what I expect to never

by K0SM0S 7y ago
I don't think it's 30 years, more like 10 max. Hopefully :) Agreed, AR is big. Very big. This is going to be a fascinating century if we keep the current pace of acceleration.

I would say (profitable) fusion power (other than the Sun's...), but that may be 20 or 2,000 or 2,000,000 years from now so... I'll go with mind-controlling machines. I know the US military is already quite advanced in that regard

People who worked extensively with XMPP in the past told me that it just wasn't cut for the current paradigm, with real-time and asynchronous communication, network hopping (mobile, wifi, etc) and just the way things evolved since... 1

Apparently, last I heard (was a good year ago), - the whole thing was overblown, overhyped, etc. - tech nowhere near ready at the level of expectation they built. Basically was more limited than Hololens (narrow field of view) but some cool

Honestly from an industrial / historical perspective, they are trying to enter a game of a whole other level than anything social-media or ad-related can ever touch. I don't know how they can win using the same strategy (disingenu

Oh trust me they know , but their rockstar Red Hat infrastructure can take it! (and I believe there are legal complications in the UK for them to sell that otherwise public TV access abroad)

Minor technical remarks: 1. Since when is a currency a "product"? Did I miss a macroeconomics memo? — This statement is antithetic to the structure of modern economies, or to Facebook's claims about Libra for that matter. 2

I feel torn in so many dimensions. On the one hand, one of the greatest games of all time gets remade. And I feel humbled that we're able to make giants over decades — Star Trek, Cobol, Warcraft have my respect. But on the other hand,

Wow, Descent, man that one just took me way back. I remember one thing: PC struggled as much as I did to go through the game, haha. I can't believe that engine eventually made it to WC3, such a small (and wonderful) world. Thank you so

Interesting image. One thing to consider, to further your thought exploration: it seems that in the human brain, both data and logic use the 'same hardware', i.e. storage and processing are reliant on the same physical structures.

Let's get real for a minute: France and Germany do not want Facebook, of all businesses, to monitor most private monetary transactions. Yesterday a social network, then a press/media entity, now a "central" bank with no

Should that happen, you're better off not working for that company anyway. Nobody wants to seldom hire young-er people for the good reasons. Meanwhile, I find that there are increasingly more opportunities for experienced devs in their

In my experience, people use it for street cred basically. Whether somewhat disingenuously to 'validate' (sic) poor content by mere association with the 'brand' name (cue Forbes, LinkedIn...), or more genuinely when &#x2

Thanks a lot for taking the time to explain. 'Turing complete' was my uneducated way of saying "a program in language A can functionally mimic the behavior of any program in language B" [I guess that part's correct]
657.
by K0SM0S 7y ago
This is beyond my level of understanding but I believe there are physical implementation paradigms in all languages that make them either capable or not of performing certain things. While you can always bend a turing-complete language to d

I'd guess Khan Academy was among the first to provide such teaching. Is it "self-taught", I don't know (I think it qualifies, though). It can be done.

At a high-level, it seems expected that since the outside world (around the DB) operates on the same tiered storage (cache > RAM > disk > backup(>n)), economically it doesn't make sense to replace any tier by its direct s
