High five, exactly my thoughts just that I'm not using a Linux host anymore, WSL2 is enough for the development I do. Java/Clojure dev in my free time is awesome on Windows with Docker Linux images. In recent years on Ubuntu Deskt

I totally agree with Taleb, as any reasonable technical guy around here that is not interested in making a quick buck through a Ponzi scheme. Sorry, for some of them is more than a quick buck, but a day job.

Peter McCormack could start by providing evidence for why the paper was wrong, instead was trying to bait Taleb into a Twitter thread that would have done no good to anyone. Good thing for Taleb that he didn't engage.

Trust in people cannot be replaced. Blockchain is achieving exactly the opposite of that, it tells us that trust and legal arrangements should be encoded into software instead of being put into effect with software.

Windows is crap compared to what? I've just switched recently to Windows 10 because I couldn't put up anymore with the lack of quality drivers for Ubuntu. Desktop Linux for me is a lost dream. Keep in mind that I was writing Vala

EU should sponsor directly the contributors of open-source software without any middleman. A contributor can switch companies like socks, giving money to corporations is pointless. Also, contributors have to apply to be granted funds. The E

Offtopic, my grandfather was Serbian, he came from Vojvodina. Thanks for describing what happens in Serbia from a Serbian point of view. Our media describes Serbia as being one of the countries that is a candidate to the EU but with no clea

Bucharest... Romania in general, has to play a difficult diplomatic game. The only source of the stability in the region comes from Bucharest. Look at its neighbours: Moldova, who was part of the Eastern bloc, has strong tendencies towards

I'm the OP. The title was that "Bucharest mayor changes Belarus embassy's street name to Protasevich Street". Mayor of the 1st district is sending the proposal this morning to the General Mayor at the city hall, the talk

You have some unsubstantiated claims. Firstly, Go focuses on infrastructure, it is actually the bootloader of cloud-native wave. Rust is great but still, it can be replaced by C, C++ or Zig when it becomes stable. It doesn't have its o

> And it is different from Java where tooling is unusably complex, slow and enterpricey. That's very subjective. In my opinion, nothing comes close to the excelent tooling that you can find in the JVM ecosystem. From IntelliJ to Son

To be fair, judging solely from your comment here, I would never want to be working in a team with you.

Same people calling for decentralization, unregulated practices and absolute freemarket are now calling for regulation and accusing Elon of market manipulation. This can't get any better, I'm having a lot of fun reading Reddit and

I share the same view, based on the jobs in my area, everyone is using Python to prototype and Java/Scala to productionize, I've also seen Node.js increasingly being used, probably for things that are I/O-intensive and not co

You forgot about the spaceship called Scala and how many startups are trying to parallel park a spaceship when they just need a Mini. Just to continue your line of analogies. Though, I still like playing with spaceships.

The more you win, the more you are going to win. The more you lose, the more you are going to lose. If you win one time people will treat you differently than if you lose. Easier to get capital. Psychologically it will affect you and others

I think the main factor is luck. It's like a sword in an online game. You can add critical chance to it by maximizing stats but it's always capped. If you have good team stats, good product stats and good markets stats, you just i

Your comment reminded me of Soviet Union or Communist Romania. They thought the same way that brilliant people shouldn't focus on finance and that the state should produce things that are not "crap" in the view of some academ

I think there's a fallacy. It's like people that get into chess for the sake of becoming better at logic. Which is good for a while until it becomes a problem of pure memorization. Or people that spend their time playing poker in

Take a look at the code examples, looks like Python & Numpy + Haskell had a baby. And yes, it is developed by the creators of PyTorch (the irony) and some of the guys from Tensorflow, Jax and S4TF at Google Research & DeepMind. Read

Google is hugely invested into Python, especially the data engineering branch. TensorFlow, Jax, etc. Though they will probably get replaced by Dex lang, they even dropped Swift 4 Tensorflow to focus on Dex [1]. The language looks very Pytho

How is Kotlin going to support the SIMD interface? It really sounds like #ifdef for every platform, unfortunately.

To be fair, C++ just brings over templated wrappers around battle-tested C CUDA libraries like cuDNN, cuBLAS, etc.
