Your claim of " As for the starving children in Africa(or America,or anywhere else) - we will fix that too." had no substance.

I would prefer a more stable fairer economy that rewarded the people actually doing the work rather than the owners of capital. People that are working a full time job or more should not need to have to worry about being able to afford essentials like rent and food (the UK has seen a huge growth in the use of food banks despite your thriving economy).

Technology is making many things better, but not fairer. And why do you choose 100 years ago as your comparison? Why not 2006?
I do remember being confused when a local furniture store advertised their "third annual going out of business sale"
It sort of makes me wonder how much of the hype around Haskell is overblown, this seems like pretty basic stuff. Haskell has all kinds of interesting properties but the way it is presented is usually as though it is an end-run around just about every problem in other programming languages. A dose of up-front honesty about potential issues would be handy. Are there any other things that are problematic in Haskell that other programmers from lesser languages usually take for granted?
It's important to have a finely-tuned sense of ethics

So when totalitarian regimes apply denial of education, mass surveillance, indefinite detention without trial, then that is evil.

But when the USA does it then it is due to a "finely-tuned sense of ethics"?
Very nice. Although I feel I already enter a meditative state when I'm in front of the glowing screen anyways.
Yeah, I understand. My expectations were just set a bit higher since you called it a REPL. Realistically, something like this fills a different use case anyway. When I want a REPL, I want to run it locally.
It's a choice. You can choose to spend time with someone you love and hopefully want to spend the rest of your life with or you can choose to spend time on your business. Think carefully about this decision. One will leave you with someone to hold your hand on your deathbed, with countless beautiful memories and, heck, maybe even children. The other, if you're lucky, will leave you with buckets and buckets of money. One of these sets of things is more important than the other. Hopefully you still know which is which.
That's a fair point. I've been wanting to get into more hardcore camping (compared to the campsite, gravel-lot camping most of the people I know do), and it'll only make things easier from the planning/reservation perspective. I think I'll take your "you'll live" attitude and try to get more serious this year. Thanks for the advice!
We should be teaching trust and responsibility. This does the opposite. Guilty until proven innocent.
I'd need to look it up to be sure, but I would assume by default that this is a radar, not a barometric, altimeter.

(To expand on that: A barometric altimeter works via air pressure, and thus shows height above sea level; a radar altimeter measures the time taken for microwaves to go from it to the ground and back, and thus shows height above ground. I wouldn't be surprised to find both types in a fighter, but I would be very surprised to find that a radar altimeter wasn't the default, because it's going to be the one that provides the most accurate information and thus the most useful to a pilot who needs to worry about avoiding CFIT during complex maneuvers.)
Sounds pretty immature.
I’ve also noticed this, and find it ironic because I recall reading about how capitalizing “white” but not “black” was a dog whistle around the time triple parenthesis hit the public consciousness.
Before we moved to our current house, a house a couple of blocks away was a meth lab, there was an accidental fire, and the fire department let it burn to the ground.

My next door neighbor bought the property and had to go before the local neighborhood association to get their approval for building 4 houses on the acre of property. They were not happy with the idea of trading 1 for 4 until he showed them that one alternative was putting 28 townhomes on there instead. Then they got on board with his plan.

As I understand it, the city would not have allowed a single home to have been built on the property. 4 was the absolute minimum.

This is Portland, Oregon and things are pretty different here compared to a lot of other places.
> Plenty of people who rent might buy if there were more opportunities to do so, which there would be if housing weren't such an artificially scarce good in the US.

America has the cheapest housing in the Developed world. SF is not cheap, but its still cheaper than big cities in Europe.

Once again I am impressed with Wolchover's consistently great writing. I think I could call myself a fan at this point.

There's no bullshit. There's no more glossing over details than needed. The key finding is explained in as close to a layman's terms as you can get, given it's deep physics, yet with some human elements to it. And both sides of any debate are given a chance to give their side of the story.

Science writing will never please everyone, but this has exactly the level of detail I enjoy.
I meant "external methods of compromising the machine" like viruses from internet etc.
So it would be better for flattr if you weren't even aware of their existence, rather than know about them and be unable to sign up? I don't believe that...
ok - monetizing ideas ... it might be a little out there ... but is there any way to corporitize trunk.ly? I'm thinking of user-accounts tied to a company, with analysis tools aimed at aiding knowledge management

Something like a hookin to hootsuite? If you don't know it - its worth looking at. It integrates FB, twitter etc for IT Service Management.

I'm trying to think why a corporate would be eager to give you guys money for the value you add - and I hear knowledge management is a pain, so could you be part of that solution?

Thanks. Ubuntu seems great to start with for a long-time Windows user like me.
And in Perl6 you can drop the sub bit:

my $block = { say "w00t, blocks!" };

And there are also pointy blocks for neater stuff:

my $pointy_block = -> $text { say "$text, blocks" };
$pointy_block("ne@t");

not sure whether you knew it or not - but peer id spoofing (as uTorrent) was added because it was being banned on several trackers.
Take a look at the bug to see a few examples

I think most private trackers allow Ktorrent and Transmission as they are considered defacto.

_The Awk Programming Language_ is vastly better, IMHO, and half the size. Brian Kernighan co-wrote it. It's that good.

The awk chapters in Bentley's _Programming Pearls_ and _More Programming Pearls_ and Peteris Krumins's Awk One-Liners series (http://www.catonmat.net/blog/awk-one-liners-explained-part-o...) are worth a read, as is the source for awk. (nawk, at least - haven't looked at gawk).
I was hoping for a video thick with data I could apply or use to Google and learn more.
Ha! I didn't skip an important step - I told him to buy organic milk! Organic milk is ultrapasteurized, and thus sterile out of the box. Although, granted, I should have drawn more attention to that point. After the first questionably cheesy-smelling batch of yogurt, he would have really cursed my name.

Buying ultrapasteurized saves a lot of hassle - you don't even need the thermometer any more at all.

We used a purpose-built maker until I dropped the plastic jar on the floor - the resulting yogurt explosion covered the entire kitchen with a relatively evenly distributed polka-dot pattern, floor, walls, ceiling, everywhere. The kids really, really tried hard not to laugh.

I considered buying another, but with four of us in the family, making two quarts at a time just wasn't enough throughput; the gallon-jar solution works great for me. I'd already been switching over for some batches, so I retired the yogurt maker entirely after the explosion.
> frankly I think they fixed the UI for this years ago, and just don't understand the complaints anymore

"fixed the UI" is a big overstatement - they improved the UI from utterly horrible to barely usable (for this purpose).

> you click the link, and can scroll through messages as if it were an article.

Imagine if someone wrote an article by creating a phpBB forum thread and posting every couple of sentences as a post on the thread. That's what this is like, for the rest of us - since you have a half million followers, your brain is probably used to filtering out all the crap and parsing the posts quickly. But the vast majority of us don't use Twitter as much or at all, and this adds a mental tax for all of us.

That's why the thread readers are so successful - you're not the target audience of them, but most of the rest of the Internet users are.
I agree with you, we shouldn't ignore the very real strong correlation for use in medicine right now and in the future.

I reckon I've thrown you with the general practice comment, which I intended to mean "everyday use" and not as a "general practitioner of medicine".

Clearly this is something you feel very strongly about but I think you'd get further with less belligerence. I feel like I've unknowingly wandered into the office of reviewer #2 and he's flown off the handle at something I am unwilling to match the level of aggression on.
Not true. Carter gave a blanket pardon to all Vietnam draft dodgers, many of whom fled the country before being convicted.
Talk about good timing... imagine sars-cov-2 hitting a few years earlier...
It goes further than that, it challenges their ego and the feeling that they know everything better than the patient does. This is not unique to the medical profession, but there the damage is immediate and sometimes fatal.

> Beyond the HackerNews crowd, most people don't care about privacy.

I believe in this one you are mistaken.

Adblocking has gone from fringe to mainstream in just a few years. Tracker blocking and in general putting actual value on one's data is going through the same, only faster.

One piece of data: more than 80% of requests coming on our website disallow tracking. Respecting privacy as a concept has already gone mainstream, the only question is how far "normal" people are willing to take it and what tradeoffs they choose to make in the long run.
Agree with this. Everyone who was never dependent on FAANG in the first place because of tinfoil Stallmanism is now sitting back roasting their marshmellows as the rest of society burns.

I'm using Racket for a major project right now. It's been hit and miss. On the one hand, Racket is by far the best alternative/non-mainstream language—the docs are good, there are surprisingly broad libraries, and of course it's great to support the good people at Northeastern.

On the other hand, there is evidence here and there that this language isn't commonly used in production. For example, the pattern-matcher is very well-implemented and feature-full, but there's no way to use it programmatically nor is there a way to get the set of bindings. There is also the sad fact that Racket is a Scheme in the traditional Scheme fashion, and so is still trapped in an 80s design aesthetic. Generics are poor, ADTs aren't easily implemented, static types exist but are not so widely used and have strangenesses.
There are very few people who would opt in to a editor for everything only to use it with Github. Most of the world's developers don't even have a Github account.

Tools work in a strange way. I recently saw a whole team of embedded developers use TextPad. They haven't heard of anything called 'vim' or 'emacs'. From their perspective its either a vendor supplied IDE or TextPad. One of them was even startled to see this shiny new thing called 'Sublime Text' when I was using it. He went out with enthusiasm, but was hardly able to convince any one to use it.
Adobe's Bracket front-end editor is open-source, yes, but does it have any traction? I have yet to hear any front-end developer friends who even bother to use it in any capacity other than testing it occasionally. I tried it a few times and couldn't justify why I'd want to use it over Sublime Text.

Historically, it appears that closed source front-end editors like Textmate, Sublime Text and others find more success and usage in the market than open-source front-end editors.
What you're running into is a cultural clash where you have someone from a low power distance and highly individual culture [1] dealing with people from a high power distance and distinctively collective culture. Thus while literal communication might be clear, you're not getting the sort of culturally clear communication you might expect.

In short, you have to deal with offshore teams in a way that is different from the way you'd deal with someone in your office. You either have to manage them in a way that is effective for them - but probably feels foreign to you - or you need to go back to local teams (or at least teams from cultures closer to your own).

Essentially, if you were a pilot, and your indian dev-lead was your co-pilot, you'd both probably crash a plane because he would be too polite to tell you that you forgot to put the wheels down. His way of saying this would be something like 'we found that more research into the wheels problem might be a useful idea', rather than 'hey captain, you idiot, the wheels aren't down!'.

So, to use the examples you're replying to here, do you also believed that organized labor doesn't have the right to strike if it might make you late to work, and that the NYT isn't allowed to run an article outing you as a major criminal if that might cause you to be terminateD?
I feel like this author just discovered OAuth. Starwood is asking for permission to see those things. People "Log in with Facebook" dozens of times a day and Facebook knows a lot more than Uber does.

One interesting thing about this data is that it is also all in Gmail (or whatever email you use) because of ride receipts. So theoretically someone could ask for read access to your email and get all this data and more. It also means Uber is leaking their valuable (?) to every email provider.
No one has mentioned that recently IBM has become an app developer for Apple.

I do agree about making sure you have experience writing PL/pgSQL and would also add that you should make sure you have a good test-driven environment when writing code in the db.
This was excellent. Substantial enough that it didn’t feel superficial to me having taken a class in quantum mechanics. But still approachable enough for someone who only took that one class and didn’t major in the subjects.
A curious bit from Wikipedia:

In discussing the origins of vi and why he discontinued development, Joy said:

I wish we hadn't used all the keys on the keyboard. I think one of the interesting things is that vi is really a mode-based editor. I think as mode-based editors go, it's pretty good. One of the good things about EMACS, though, is its programmability and the modelessness. Those are two ideas which never occurred to me.
NFT is to artwork what Bitcoin is to gold. That's the way I see it anyway.

How so? Unless the disk to which the file was originally written physically changes hands, they're all exactly identical copies.
That's called eBay.
The suggestions to spread to the travel industry seem a bad idea to me. Loads of strong competition.

Now spreading from 5 day rentals to 6 month rentals and long term - that would probably work as it overlaps what they already do. I just took two one month rentals on my place and if I needed to let for a year or two I think I'd prefer to use airbnb to the unknown, likely sketchy, letting agent down the road.
That's exactly what I mean by "relatively more difficult."

There is no premium if you buy and hold, in fact that's the baseline situation from which the premium is calculated. And buy-and-hold works for arbitrary timescales, while even long term puts come only in certain flavors.

That starts to seem a lot like structurally built-in upward pressure on prices.
It sounds like the chances of having a criminal case pending against you is pretty high given your description of how easy it is to be accused of doing something illegal.
Huh. Cool. I just kind of figured I'd stumble across an answer to that one and here I am. Makes good sense too. Thanks.

Hey, here's a question, why does the comment reply link sometimes not render until I refresh the page? Are they on a timer or something?
I think you have something here. Scala is complez, but it lets you "push down" a lot of application-level complexity into the language where it can be better managed snd understood by tooling.

For example,

- Scala singleton objects add complexity footprint to the language, but reify a super common pattern in Java and ensures everyone does it the same way.

- Case classes add yet more resource footprint, but again reify a common pattern that in Java-land is fragmented between Beans and POJOs and other things.

- Named and optional parameters add complexity over Java's simple method calling style, but subsume a whole zoo of builders, overloading, telescoping and other patterns used to work around their absence

Each of these features certainly makes the language more complex, but arguably at the same time they make user code more simple and boring
I dont like the Fed's easy money, but it looks like you didn't read the article.
Thanks Andy.

The research is getting insane. The hard research is figuring out who's full of it.

I'm starting to get a lot of requests for interviews from people who pad their bios with BS. I sometimes have to hunt online for 30+ minutes to see if a potential guest is even worth inviting on.

I'll see what I can do. Should be fixed today.

Edit: fixed :)
Also, we sit in many more contexts: driving, work, watching TV, eating dinner, etc.

That being said, I'm a bit overwhelmed nowadays with all of the health scares. Sometimtes I feel like whatever I do, I'm killing myself. So I just give up and live my life. I'm going to die one way or another, right? (Not exactly good philosophy.)
I totally agree that the issue isn't producing food but rather distributing it process. I further agree that this isn't a strictly zero-sum mechanism.

But yeah, if rich people consumed fewer food resources, prices would drop, and some malnourished people who can't afford sufficient food now would be able to afford more. Blaming the problem on dysfunctional local economies and governments is facile way of absolving oneself of personal responsibility -- "My consumption of limited resources isn't the problem; it's corrupt governments. I can keep consuming however I like, comfortable in the knowledge that I'm not causing harm to anyone else". Yes, dysfunctional governments and economies in developing countries are part of the problem, and no matter what rich people do or do not consume, they probably won't help the hungry people in N. Korea by doing so. But there are plenty of places where that's not the case. The fact that the 2007-2008 food crisis did meaningfully impact a lot of people in developing countries should indicate that we are all connected to the same global food economy, and what we do with our agricultural resources in rich countries can and does impact the prices and availability in developing ones.
I think it's more like:

"For every[1] job J, there is a pay P such that if you're getting paid more than P, you'll more than like doing J."

[1] Actually, we have to exclude a lot of jobs from the set of possible jobs. There are many things I wouldn't do on a matter of personal principles, like designing bombs, for instance.

Edit: not that I agree with the thing, it is just my interpretation of it.
This is an excellent idea and I look forward to actually using it. Thanks guys for making the world of distributed development and open source a better "place" to be!
I'd still call a designer that can code, a designer.
From what I understand, the often quoted 10 year plan includes overlap with the release of the next console, similar to how the PS2 still sold quite well at the start of the PS3 era, as well as the PS1 before it.

The PS3 was announced about 18 months before availabiltiy, so we actually should be pretty close to an announcement.
I can’t find any appearence or mention of Wendell in that video, nor could I find any other video by the same person featuring Wendell.

Later this year I will get some more CT reference scans to compare my results too. I think that this will give some better insights.
By the way, even on the professional market there seems to be no „universal“ benchmarking procedure to compare the various mid-range scanners (1-20k€). So this is a very interesting discussion point

I say this because most regular folks don’t even know what a gigabyte is so asking them to understand what a gibibyte is does not really “solve the problem” of consumer understanding.
This is my primary reason for advocating yyyy-mm-dd (regardless of including hh:mm:ss) in my work environment. I always feel it's very simple to explain things like "you can sort by name and it's automatically sorted by date" and it's just unbelievable the amount of pushback I get. This coming from users having trouble finding files from a certain time period, as their timestamps might be different due to copying/modifying. Also easy to convert to INT (i.e. yyyymmdd/20210226) for use as a partition key or FK for a date dimension.
