But the US is not signing the treaty.

So you agree that China is the hypocrite? Great.

That’s a deep misunderstanding of how that number came to be. He wasn’t paid 193 millions. He was paid something like 6 millions.

The rest is shares that he got and kept through the whole period. When you setup a company you create a number of shares that founders buy (with most kept on the side for investors). As you grow so do those shares value, and you’re also granted some as bonus/salary/et . At 10B those share are worth 190 millions. If Reddit would be worth 1 billion those shares would be 19 millions.

Basically he owns about 2% of Reddit.

Almost every IPO in history has resulted in a significant drop in value on the first weeks as early investors drop their shares on the market and hype goes down. I would be surprised if Reddit loses half of its value in the first month alone. It is much less bullish than a lot of other recent IPOs.

I think people are confusing centralized with federated. Federation has benefits but Mastodon is not decentralized. There is duplication of data but it’s not the same.

Maybe you’re the most basic person, and that makes you special. Tell me more!

I can’t wait for you to explain to my pea-brain why all those “a man died and went to heaven” jokes don’t make sense. Or how a priest, a minister and rabbi would never hang out together in a bar…

Maybe you’re born with it.

Even from a perfect witness (and witnesses are very imprefect) you wouldn’t be able to predict if they have a beard or not. That’s why you always multiple variations of the person when they actually distribute renditions.

Give it time.

I’m okay with 1080p, it’s the slowdowns in FPS that hurt me. If I had to pick one I’d pick consistent 60fps over 4K. Too many games dip under 30 on switch these days.

Last round of rumours were saying around Q4. So September-December. If you can’t hold for 7+ months buy a used one or refurbished.

I barely have time to contribute to fix bugs in the dependencies I use. If I had more time for OSS contributions I might, but I’m not in my 20s anymore and when I’m not at work I’m taking care of my family.

My colleagues and friends are free to do as they please.

There are multiple things in Go that make it better.

But just for giving a few thoughts about Java itself;

• being able to import a package and use it as a namespace would already go a long way
• being able to import multiple things from a package without listing separate line for each items
• not having to go from the root of the whole fucking world to import a package would be great
• having the ability to do relative imports to the module I’m writing would be great

These are like “module 101” things. Like, you’re right that the IDEs nowadays do most of that, but IDEs also get it wrong (“oh you meant a THAT package instead of that other one”) and reading the code without an IDE is still a thing (code reviews for example) which means the longer the import section (both vertically and horizontally) the harder it is to work with. And if you don’t look at all imports carefully you may miss a bug or a vulnerability.

Also, Java is the only language I know of that has such a span on the horizontal. The memes about needing a widescreen monitor for Java is actually not a joke; I never had to scroll horizontally in any other language. To me that’s just insanity.

Also, if you’re gonna make it the whole universe as the root of your package structure, we already have DNS and URI/URLs for that. Let me use that!

And don’t get me started as only-files-as-packages while simultaneously having maybe-you-have-multiple-root for your code… makes discovery of related files to the one you’re working with very hard. Then of course the over reliance on generated code generating imports that might or might not exist yet because you just cloned your project…

PHP never went away. Wordpress, Mediawiki, Slack, Facebook, etc etc etc. IMO PHP is likely to have created the most wealth per line of code of all languages, including C (edit: since 2000). It’s completely under the radar.

how is the verbosity a negative thing exactly

Fun fact, studies have found that the number of bugs in a program is proportional to the number of lines of codes, across languages. More lines of codes, more bugs, even for the same math and edge cases. So a more verbose language tends to have more bugs.

*Vaguely wave arms towards the few dozens languages that do imports right*

I don’t mind Java personally, but let’s not pretend that its import syntax and semantics is at the better side of the spectrum here.

Just look at… Go, Haskell, TypeScript, Rust, even D has a better module system.

I’m curious why you say Rust “ has proven “ to not be a great choice. There is a lack of Rust programmers, but its been the fastest growing community on GitHub for multiple years now, and has proven to be viable at all level of the stack.
