Do you mean like Steam?

Oculus Rift is just a monitor so of course there will be multiplayer games if that's what you're speaking of. Anyone can develop a game for it and there already are ports of Quake etc out there. No need for Oculus themselves to be involved.
Haskell is lazy, which paradoxically means that its execution is sequential. In order to be truly liberated the execution order needs to be unspecified.
> Like I said - four months. In the vast majority of cases we can keep you alive for a few months longer.

Can you cite this? I suspect it's an average, and thus not very useful. (Ie: some people are living a lot longer, enough to drive the overall average up 4 months, not most people are living 4 months longer).
Sure. But consider adverse selection? The ones that need the help are in a different part of the spectrum than the ones that don't.
Very nice job. I made a prototype like this years ago but never put the time in to "productize" it.
I am admittedly a bit of an accounting fanboy, and may jump to more rigorous tracking of things I control or are accountable for than is needed. For instance, upon discovering a large portion of the intelligence funding in the United States is "off-budget", I was concerned about their financial rigor (your budget should include all the things you spend money on -- it's odd to think the US Government is quite a few steps and security clearances away from being able to answer "How much do you spend on pens a year?")
Fully agree that the ease of use combined with a lack of alternatives makes a compelling argument pro CF.

And I'm afraid I cannot think of a better solution than at least hope for a forseeable competition will lead to the big sites being spread among several reverse-proxying-companies - instead of them all being served by CF. So far, they seem to be doing great work and consequently outperform everyone else.
They also have colonies, fraternal lodges, round tables, and front groups.

Sorry, not just a little weaker. A _lot_ weaker. It lacks union and intersection types, and to my mind this is kind of inexcusable in a modern language. I'm not even talking about pattern matching, union types are simply necessary in an expression oriented language. It's that simple. Then, intersection types are the dual of union types.

(By the way, Rust lacks union types too, and it makes the language absolutely insufferable. Simply adding, say, a print statement as the last expression in one branch of an if statement changes that branches type, producing an error due to A/B type mismatches There is often no valid reason, e.g. in the case your branch isn't assigned to an expression. Even if it were, the type of that expression should be a union type: problem solved. It's so basic and so obvious, that Algol 68 got it right back in the 60s. Why on earth would you add discriminated unions but _not_ unions? It makes no sense.)

(I'm going to go off on a second tangent now: can we please just dust off the cool ideas in that language, like references represented in the type system, rather than replicating C++'s god-awful value categories and even _more_ reference squiggles? Consider how C++'s awfully complex [] move semantics could be expressed in that language!]).

Not sure what you mean, there are already blockchains out there using only PoS...

Cardano already uses PoS
The original Big Dog noise problem came from using an off-the-shelf fixed speed engine/hydraulic pump combo. There was a subcontract for the LS3 to replace that with a quieter custom-designed Diesel-powered unit. (The US Army is all-Diesel; they don't want gasoline tankers on the battlefield.) I'm not sure how that came out. The original Atlas was a Big Dog derivative, and used many of the same hydraulic components.

The Schaft robot (also now owned by Google) is all-electric. That's probably the future direction.
I think the title of this post is misleading. For context, see the summary of the amendment on p. 324, under "ACTION ITEM—Rule 41 (venue for approval of warrant for certain remote electronic searches)".

The goal of this amendment (appears to me, a non-laywer) to be to allow judges to issue warrants for crimes that occur in their jurisdiction, for materials that may not be in their jurisdiction, when the location of the materials has been obfuscated with an anonymizing technology. I don't think this is an "automatic warrant" - they still have to establish probable cause, etc.

A more interesting sentence from p. 325 discusses the mechanism by which the search may be carried out: "The proposal speaks to two increasingly common situations affected by the territorial restriction, each involving remote access searches, in which the government seeks to obtain access to electronic information or an electronic storage device by sending surveillance software over the Internet."
Very nice. But strange things happen in the "car" demo if you put one car on top of the other: they try to throw off each other like horses.
Just installed/upgraded. My thoughts are that it has a very generous idea of what 1.0m is I was easily 2-3 meters away for ~20 seconds before it locked. Im using a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) and iPhone 6+.

Additionally, while typing this, it locked and unlocked my computer while the phone was in my pocket. Looks like the distance finder needs to be dialed in somewhat. With my phone literally 3" away on the same desk, it says between .5 and .7 meters. I get that this is all a big tight rope and you have to balance battery, distance, time, and sensitivity. I have set up my upper left hot corner to lock my computer so that is a pretty strong habit right now. This, however seems to be a pretty good option in the cases that I miss or forget to do so.
The article is not clear. Even the linked article is not clear.

> "Either her photon was in a certain phase or it wasn't present at all."

How is that different from the particle view ? Either the particle goes to A or it goes to B. Saying that it goes to both but then when you measure A it collapses in either A or B is the same thing. No ?
Mason jars are intended for canning. Typically that involves a boiling water bath. So, yes.

I'd argue that PHP came out of the gate with some pretty powerful properties, too.

They hit a sweet spot of

* Being there at the right time (none of the "good" languages in your book was around or usable for web dev at the time of PHP4 and PHP5 came out)

* Being easy to learn - giving beginners quick rewards.

* Being powerful enough to do quite a bit more than "simple web pages", as you say. This enabled people to "graduate" from "simple web pages" to "web apps".
In fact, most of the web was built in PHP (Wikipedia, Facebook, Wordpress runs on 50% of all webpages or so, Drupal is incredibly popular, Magento runs loads of webshops, and on and on). This has not happened merely by accident.
I feel it's a bit wrongheaded to suggest otherwise.

* Being dead easy to deploy on almost any webhost (Drop files, hit them with their url, be done - almost no other language delivers this even today)

In all i feel PHP has moved the web forward tremendously.
In time, itself has evolved as well. It may not have evolved as fast as one would want.

It's the C++ of the web era, really.

With all due respect to Dr. Reiz, and the Dept. of Physics at ASU, I think I'll be taking my advice from the group of doctors from UCSF (a school well known and respected for its medical research) who wrote a formal letter to the president's science advisor. The letter is worth reading.

"Agard and several of his UCSF colleagues recently wrote a letter to John Holdren the president's science adviser, asking for a more thorough look at the risks of exposing all those airline passengers to X-rays. The other signers are John Sedat, a molecular biologist and the group's leader; Marc Shuman, a cancer specialist; and Robert Stroud, a biochemist and biophysicist."

Well, there's a video game that helps you practice avoiding something similar:

> there's no way to know for sure how well preventative measures work

This is true. It’s not a valid counterfactual to compare against an imagined ideal.

It’s just as possible to consider that the pandemic response team had degenerated into ineffectiveness, and by disbanding them Trump made things better.

This is why imagined counterfactuals aren’t helpful compared vs comparing with an actual benchmark.
I guess so but that it’s groups not 1-on-1 probably means people behave better. Also video is a higher barrier entry in terms of awkwardness etc
The moderation scheme was silly. Reported comments would go before a jury of other parler users. If the jury voted so, the comment would be treated as rule breaking and the account could be sanctioned.

This is obviously flawed, because juries would vote innocent comments not supporting the mainline parler views to be extremely rulebreaking, and vote death threats (+doxxings, etc) that aligned with mainline parler views to be OK. In some ways it’s a great example of why pure community-led moderation doesn’t really work.

So the moderation was either extreme or near nonexistent depending on what political views were being expressed.
Also this bullet point under "Lawful Purposes Only":

I had a coworker who was just lazy and wanted to use * even if he only needed to get one column from a database with dozens of columns. We ended up having to ban the use of * all together.
They're getting downvoted because it's an asinine statement - "I hate cancel culture but...".

So actually they don't hate it, they haven't even thought about it, and in this one instance when they did they concluded that people are right.

They're just stopping short of considering that view any further because then they'd be like those people who are definitely wrong. Because they are.
Kotlin pattern matching and destructuring/unapply support are pretty weak, no?
You're essentially asking the government to compel private businesses to host speech that they disagree with. I don't think that's a viable path.
Can you clarify a bit more ? Are you saying you call these companies and they just give you a price for Item X without asking you any questions ? Are you saying it is a commodity product/service that has no variation at all depending on your needs ?
Facebook is the new Myspace. Same basic concept. Same growth in ad density over time. Same decline in customer experience.

AOL is still a dial-up ISP, with 2 million customers still paying $20.48 a month. That's where their profit comes from. Their new junk-content business turned out not to generate much profit. (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2014/08/07...)

I’ve been waiting for something like this. I’d love to replace embedded tweets across articles with a setup like this - eliminates privacy concerns, doesn’t rely on image generation, lighter, and looks more accessible too.
The Feb 07 flood in India [1] was first thought to be a burst glacial lake but:

In satellite images, a 0.5 mi (0.80 km) scar is visible on the slopes of the Nanda Ghunti, a peak on the southwestern rim of the Nanda Devi sanctuary, a wall of mountains surrounding the Nanda Devi massif.

I agree it’s gone downhill, I’m finding it really bizarre and somewhat sad to watch. It seems to me the pillars of legacy media like the NYT realized in the past decade they’re going to be outdone by newer internet-native ways of obtaining information (Substack, Twitter, etc. which do have their own issues), and their recent wave of SV tech industry bashing reeks of desperation. I’m not sure what’s going to rise to replace the idea of a “Paper of record”. Balaji is big on the idea of a “ledger of record” on some blockchain, but implementation difficulties aside, I’m skeptical that such a system would really solve the problem here.
Although a small amount of cynism is warranted, do you have any evidence that this indeed the case?

Strawman. While those stories MAY be true, it's equally valid to posit that those discoveries/thoughts may well have happened otherwise, too.

I used to draw the lines that way, but I've switched to drawing the squares instead. It tends to look cleaner, the code is simpler, and it also lets me color the squares individually. If I really need to draw the lines, I can set a background color. It's a cheap trick :-)

Disclaimer: I'm a PM; though I've always also considered myself a developer, I haven't had a "Software Engineer" job since college internships years ago.

There are a couple of things that spring to mind based on some experiences I've had.

Firstly, even though my resume says PM, I get approached for developer roles all the time (probably the CS degrees pattern-matching recruiter bots). Have you tried applying for a developer job at all, just to see which hurdles might be the hardest for you based on your experience and current skills?

Secondly, there are some roles that might be a good transition from PM to developer that would allow you to get the best of both worlds. Developer Relations/Evangelist comes to mind, Technical Project/Product Manager, and similar.

One thing I would personally do if I were making this transition is focus on building out a personal project, putting it on github and becoming active in the relevant community (whether it's stack overflow, irc, reddit, pull requests, etc). Contributing to open source is commonly recommended, though not something I'm particularly involved in. I would personally stay a generalist as that's something I enjoy and part of why I became a PM in the first place, but YMMV.

You could potentially find ways to code as part of your PM job. I knew PMs who committed patches to the main product, and I managed to find several ways to write code (internal hackathons, test apps, etc) when I was working on our developer platform.

Also, I'd recommend you look at Hacker School, if a sabbatical from work would fit into your plans. There are also several "programming bootcamp" in-person courses which are aimed at placing graduates into engineering jobs, but these are probably beneath your current skill level.
Well, that is pretty offensive. You're calling me incompetent, whereas I'm definitely a competent person. I did well in school (3.6 GPA in a good college), finished a master's degree, and have done well in an established, albeit dying, profession, including speaking at conferences and writing for trade publications (and even co-wrote an article for a peer-reviewed journal, which is unusual for my profession). If you're referring to my programming chops, well, I think it's pretty impressive that I taught myself to code in my 30s, and that I am now very comfortable in Python, JavaScript, and (to a lesser extent) C and Lua. I even play around with languages like Haskell and Ada for fun. I taught myself git, built several large web applications (which are part of my portfolio), and have almost finished a complex Android application (thus adding basic Java to my list of languages). I've unfortunately not yet had the opportunity to be mentored by someone more experienced than me, or participate in a large team-driven project, which I realize is now holding me back from the next level of programming expertise.

I could make similar presumptions about you based on your response, but since I don't know you at all, I'll refrain.

So why on campus then? "on campus" implies this is a campus specific issue, hence the aforementioned security cameras.

OK, now you've got me really confused. Is that Haskell code? I thought that Haskell couldn't do sequence except inside a monad. (Or is "do" a monad?)

But if that isn't a monad, then why did you write it that way? My original claim was that a monad wouldn't do much for me in my world, and if you wrote this without a monad, that kind of seems like you're agreeing with me.

You said that you'd gain composability from writing this as a monad. In this example, how would that work? What would it buy me that I couldn't write (as easily) using what to me is the normal way?

Seems all is going to plan for Beijing, slowly encroaching on more human rights of the people of Hong Kong. I read an ominous quote from Global Times that said, when talking about the US Hong Kong bill:

"If we take this US bill seriously and shrink from tackling riots, Hong Kong will suffer from an accelerated collapse of the rule of law and be erased from the modern world.
[...]
If riots continue, Hong Kong is doomed." [1]

I suppose replacing the chain of command in terms of Hong Kong will help circumvent the CCP and secure more 'peace and prosperity' for China.

This is exactly what omniscient corporate surveillance is for: if you monitor employees continuously, you'll always find a fireable offense sooner or later, which can be kept safely in reserve until it's time to get rid of them for reasons that would otherwise be illegal (organizing a labor union, reporting sexual harassment, etc.). It's really depressing to see so many people on HN falling for it.

The tone of this comment sounds a little aggressive, but, in my experience, the following is the truest advice:

> clients don't pick up the phone and call you because you do good work, they pick up the phone and call you because they remember who you are and like you

People want to work with people they like (and to like them they first need to meet them).

They'd rather work with people they like, that do good work, than people they like that do bad work, but given the choice, they will pick people they know and like, that are mediocre, over "superstars" that they don't know and/or don't like.

Which means

- if you don't have direct access to the final ("real") customer, you're mostly wasting your time

- extra hours spent turning out stellar work would be a 1000 times more productive/useful getting to know your clients on a personal basis

- relationships with "customers" will only last as long as the people you're interacting with stay at the company; when people change companies, it's sometimes more effective to follow them to their new home than try to build a new relationship with the new team at the old company

- intermediaries are vampires; do not go near them. They fear light: expose them and they will flee.

Good luck.
