What a lovely Christmas present. I did not think I would ever write anything that ended up on the top of HN.

I'm the author of the top answer, and I believe that this is the top-voted thing that I ever posted on any StackExchange site. It was a lovely surprise to see it here today, and I hope that everyone else enjoyed reading it. Merry Christmas!

Dedomenon meant given in the Biblical past, and data now. ("Take is as given", in a logical/mathematical sense).

For a database integrity scientist, "data destroyer" makes sense.

Ha! Well, that's what I get for having studied Classical Greek in school but not Modern Greek.

On slide 22, what does his fake name say in Greek? Catastropheaz Dedomeviv?
jaspax · 3 years ago
Katastropheas dedomenon

Means, I think, "given over to overthrows".

Dude, change the title from "Kids Are Not Okay" to "The Kids Are Not Okay".

The first case suggests to not have kids while the other talks about well being of kids.

Didn't even notice that. I would change it now, but we're outside the edit window.

A lot of cliché and propaganda.

We are in the end of a destruction phase, the left, progressive are about change and destruction of order and renewal but they now have monopoly over almost everything.

The next step is the rediscovery of order, tradition, beauty, natural laws, religion.

The artists are at the tip of the process, we will start to see more and more flip back.

Have you seen this: https://youtu.be/j800SVeiS5I

Sorry, but that video is also bad. The whole point is that not everything needs to be a campaign ad.

(Additionally, the video is twice as long as it needs to be. By minute 4 I was bored and scrubbed ahead to see if he was going to do something other than beat the dead horse some more. The turn into the antithesis finally happens around minute 10, at least 5 minutes after it should have been over.)

Okay, I love this article, but I literally couldn't finish it until I found an example of Sanatan Dinda's art. Here's an entry from the 2015 World Bodypainting Festival, the first year he won (I believe): https://i2-prod.irishmirror.ie/incoming/article6063257.ece/A...

Funny, looking at those pictures greatly reduced my interest in the genre of body-painting, if that's what world champions look like. They certainly have technical expertise, but nonetheless to my eye they are both ugly and off-putting by the ubiquity of their political subtext. And it's not even politics that I necessarily disagree with! But political cartoons are not improved if you paint them on a human body.

> is the programming language something that even matters?

It absolutely does. I think one of the major reasons that all these massive software companies grind to a halt with innovation is because of bad software architecture and a bad choice of programming language contributes to that. Also underlying systems built in non-performant languages hobble the company for years. It's complete delusion that a company will rewrite systems as they gain product market fit.

I have a strong list of requirements but there is no perfect language today. For general software any language I start a project with today must have

1. Fast iteration / compilation times

2. null safety

3. Some form of algebraic data types (and by implication a static type system)

4. Garbage collection (unless the domain specifically requires the performance benefits gained from forgoing a garbage collector).

5. A robust standard library and package ecosystem.

All of the above contribute to two very important things:

1. The ability to iterate quickly.

2. The ability to describe state in such a way that invalid states become impossible to represent due to the type checker.

Nice to have productivity boosters:

1. Actual value types

2. Pattern matching.

3. A good class system with traits or interfaces.

There isn't a perfect language that meets these requirements so there will always be tradeoffs with language choice.

I think that typescript meets all 5 of the items in your first list.
jaspax commented on Instagram’s co-founders are back with Artifact, a kind of TikTok for text   theverge.com/2023/1/31/23... · Posted by u/gwill

There's social modeling suggesting that simple ideas (anger etc) dominate in overly-connected networks. That's why the friction you mention is important. This has bothered me for a long time, so I made the opposite of Artifact a while back: https://www.recents.cc

You follow a few people, and you get whatever links they post, no algo or frontpage. You repost good stuff, so a link can travel several hops to someone, but it must have been filtered through a friend. Kinda like real life. In the time that I've used it with my friends, I've seen a nice balance of mainstream and niche stuff in my feed.

HN is great too, but it's a niche.

This is exactly how Tumblr works, and is a big part of why Tumblr is actually a great social network for the people who have stuck it out there.
