<p>Is exa gone ? Can you not download exa anymore ? Are the binaries deleted from the internet ? Is the source completely overwritten ? Has it been removes from crates.io and from package managers ? Has it suddenly stopped listing files in your folders?<p>Calling it having your tools rug-pulled from you is, quite frankly, the most moronic thing I've read today.</p>

<p>Exactly! ls is alive, and just exists, mostly. The commits done on it are extremely minor changes to save up 0.0001% of performance and because the APIs it was using are sometimes deprecated. And that's fine!<p>However, when a new project arrives and does more, suddenly it's dogshit because it's stopped evolving despite doing infinitely more than ls.<p>Unixheads have a weird inferiority complex when it comes to anything not in coreutils.</p>

<p>pneumatic drill: 8 years, dead<p>the sharp stick of metal my dad gave me: 38 years and counting<p>long live the sharp stick of metal ?<p>What a terrible take. Yes, ls is maintained. Although, maintained is a very strong word. It exists. It's getting a few maintenance commits here and there, and in the mean time, it's feature done. It won't evolve anymore. Just like how exa will keep existing, and won't evolve anymore. Exa also does a hell of a lot more than ls, so will LSD, Eza and others. But keep using the sharp stick of metal if it makes you feel better.</p>

(1949)"]]></title><description><![CDATA[
<p>>You have to ignore 120 years of intellectual progress on economics to still want to apply labor theory of value to problems. There may be a day when we can achieve some semblance of a "socialist" mode of production<p>What an absolute load of crap. Economics as a whole is barely a science, at best a toy, and that multiple pathways exist is not an indictment of any theory. Marx's observations hold true all these years after, alongside the progress we've had.<p>You clowns would take a system as complex as, oh, simply the whole of human activity and try to reduce it to a few simple laws. Sorry, despite what you learned online, "supply and demand" is not a fundamental law of the universe. This is not physics. There are no simple answers. There aren't even proper answers. Every school of economics holds on barely by a thread. "Assuming a rational actor" is the "assume a spherical cow in a vacuum" of liberal economics.</p>

<p>The absolute entitlement to believe that delivery workers should be coming up to your door at the 9th floor, while complaining about "ethics".<p>You're using a delivery service like Uber Eats, Deliveroo or Doordash that are well known to underpay, overwork and unjustly punish workers that do not maximize their deliveries per hour, and you have the gall to complain that they're not taking pride in their jobs from your ivory tower.<p>Your feet are not going to die because your fat ass has to get up from the couch.

<p>You can add other languages, such as Kotlin to that list. It is explicitly made to give you the ability to build a strongly typed DSL with proper scoping, references, validation, comes with all the benefits of a real language, including working language servers right out of the box that autocomplete everything properly. But that would require sysadmins to admit that editing all their config through nano with no syntax highlighting is an awful idea, no matter the amount of time they tell BUT WHAT IF I'M SSHING ON A SERVER IN ALASKA.<p>Despite all the complaints I have for Gradle (which, arguably, solves problems much more complex than "Ask AWS to burn through my cash"), its Kotlin DSL is impressively powerful and extensible.</p>

<p>I'd say my work has gone in the hands of a few million people and made their lives (mostly) better, along with what all of my coworkers did.<p>But most importantly, I'm not out there telling people that they suck, they're bad programmers. I'm not the one out there telling people that GC bad, memory ownership bad but also you're stupid if you can't free() memory properly. I'm not the one out there rejecting decades of PL theory, calling academics "believers" and "wrong" [0], I'm not the one throwing shade at every other language, and when criticized on my language, fall back to "uuuuh I make Jai for myself you don't have to use it"<p>Anyways, if you want a real systems language that's available today and that actually works, Odin exists.<p>[0] - <a href="https://twitter.com/Jonathan_Blow/status/1363913308865138689" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://twitter.com/Jonathan_Blow/status/1363913308865138689</a></p>

<p>>Oh, i didn't know that there are any.<p>Plenty! Although, it's not limited to iterators: most languages that have first class lambdas/closures behave this way. Kotlin has `it` as the default parameter of any lambda (but only accepts it for single parameter lambdas, two parameters and you need to name them:<p>`fun <T, U> Collection<T>.map(block: (T) -> U): Collection<U>`<p>is called like so:<p>`listOf(1, 2, 3).map { it * it }`<p>Swift has $0, $1<p>>Btw. in for-loops the colon `:` is used inconsistently again, this time for naming the iterator (`foo` in this example:) `for foo: VALUES { ... }`.<p>Sorry, Jonathan Blow doesn't believe in such silly things as "compiler research" nor "programming language research". Jai gets built by piling up crap on top of crap.</p>

<p>Just like every language that implicitly names the current value of the iterator:<p>- It's the innermost iterator that takes priority<p>- You are encouraged to name your iterators if you do so (for particles { part -> part.velocity } )<p>- Compiler throws warnings if you shadowed names.</p>
