165,753 | null | null | Addition, as implemented by Python, is functional. There are no side effects. A fully imperative encoding of addition would be eg. the x86 add instructions. John Backus gave us "functional" arithmetic with Fortran, but realised all values should should be treated this way, not just numbers.
I take your point about the iterators being mutated and the loss referential transparency. That's certainly not functional programming. | null | willtim | null | 1,460,325,521 | "2016-04-10T21:58:41Z" | comment | 11,468,377 | 11,467,968 | null | null | null |

165,757 | null | null | I asked myself - what is so secret about my medical records. Who cares if I have giut or high blood pressure. Now if I had syphilis when I was 23 - that I would like private. I imagine there are things many women would want secret as well, but by and large who cares.
Why not have the NHS ask the patient what details they want hidden. Bearing in mind this is only to be seen by other doctors that the same patient approves of on that same item by item basis.
I suspect that the doctors have fought long and hard to insist on this absolute secrecy because they have a vexted interest = this is where their money comes from and they do not want any sprt of competition from other doctors or even online doctors in India or Canada cutting into their pie. | null | aurizon | null | 1,622,594,781 | "2021-06-02T00:46:21Z" | comment | 27,363,448 | 27,363,241 | null | null | null |

But what about other topics (or companies) I don't know much about? I have no easy way of recognizing inaccuracies so I default to mostly accepting them.

165,775 | null | null | while i am not a "cloud expert", i'm pretty sure that google datacenters have more than one switch. furthermore, while the precise datacenter layout is probably secret, i infer that the the compute servers and the data servers cannot be housed in the same or nearby racks, since both are independently provisionable and can be arbitrarily attached. for example, if i start a vm and connect a drive, even if google could put them right next to each other in the datacenter, what happens if i start another vm, which for fragmentation reasons gets placed way on the other side of the building, detach the drive and connect it to this new one?<p>therefore, there must at least be several switches between the devices, and realistically, probably one or more routers. | null | Hello71 | null | 1,660,610,707 | "2022-08-16T00:45:07Z" | comment | 32,477,790 | 32,476,766 | null | null | null |

165,781 | null | null | When you are learning programming, its important to be able to isolate the problem you are working on and focus on that. The fact is that vim has a steep learning curve, and no matter how fast you are at typing things, your rate of productivity is still limited by how fast you can make decisions and how fast you can think and solve problems. I strongly believe that mastering hotkeys and tools like vim is the final stage of achieving the highest levels of programming skill. This is because once you have learned so much and trained yourself hard to think and move really fast, only then does your productivity bottleneck become things like using the mouse too much, not knowing certain hotkeys, not using things like regex replace, multi-line edit, and so on. The problem is mastering a single tool requires a tremendous amount of investment of time and energy, and once you are at the point in your development as a programmer where you need to start improving on hotkeys, well you are already deeply invested in whatever tool you are using and making the switch to vim has a major cost associated with it, because now you have to learn everything you already know how to do all over again. Is this cost worth it? Sometimes, depending on how advanced a person is, other times, depending on the situation, it's not. I think this phenomenon explains a lot about why vim is not as popular as perhaps it deserves to be. | null | calhoun137 | null | 1,533,658,379 | "2018-08-07T16:12:59Z" | comment | 17,707,910 | 17,696,023 | null | null | null |

165,784 | null | null | Brevity is not an end in itself but simply one goal of good writing. This means: don't pad, don't over-elaborate, don't meander. Keep your writing focused for its purpose.<p>But, if that purpose is, for example, to explain the meaning of restricted stock and, as a lawyer, you tell a client that such stock is granted but made subject to repurchase at cost upon termination of a service relationship between the company and the recipient, creating a risk of forfeiture and thereby requiring that an 83(b) election be filed so as avoid having artificial income imputed to the holder as vesting occurs, that is a perfectly fine if windy way to express oneself and creates no difficulty or misunderstanding for the reader (at least I hope not). There is room for variety in writing, and no writer should feel handcuffed by an <i>artificial</i> need to keep things brief.<p>That said, by all means be brief where you can, and do aim for brevity as a worthy goal of your writing. Just don't obsess about it. It has its place.

165,797 | null | null | LiveScript has many features over CoffeeScript that may not exactly be as in Haskell, but are inspired by it.
You can define curried functions, use partially applied operators (addTwo = (+ 2)), use operators as functions (sum = fold1 (+)), use infix functions, ("hi" `startsWith` 'h'), compose functions (h = f . g), have proper list comprehensions, and its standard library, prelude.ls, is based off of Haskell's Prelude module (inclusion is optional though if you want to use underscore.js or something else).

165,816 | null | null | I agree, it's probable that there's been a decision to de-prioritize Atom in favor of VSCode. And sure, I get being upset about that, and about GitHub not confirming that this is what's happening if it really <i>is</i> what's happening.<p>But the words of the linked Reddit comment from Nat Friedman were "we will continue to develop and support both Atom and VS Code going forward"; that's a true statement today. Atom is currently being developed and supported. That's a case of adhering to the letter of the statement rather than the spirit, I know. But that circles around to the problem of VSCode's rapid ascent in mindshare -- if your company ends up owning two very similar editors and they both have roughly equal downloads and community interest, you might try to support both equally. But if one of them has orders of magnitude more downloads and community interest than the other, you're going to focus your efforts on the popular one. | null | chipotle_coyote | null | 1,584,475,079 | "2020-03-17T19:57:59Z" | comment | 22,609,583 | 22,601,683 | null | null | null |

165,832 | null | null | I realize this is probably unpopular, but I personally think we shouldn't aim for beginner-friendliness in our production languages. If we can do it then fine, but it shouldn't come at the cost of anything else.<p>People are only beginners for a (hopefully) short time, then they're not. Making things better for them in the post-beginner period is far more advantageous, since that's when the vast majority of productive work occurs.<p>There is certainly a place for beginner-friendly languages. People need to learn to program at some point, and something which is aimed at helping them do that is really useful. But there's no reason that it should be the <i>same</i> language used by professionals to do real work.<p>Imagine changing the design of a 747 to make it easier to fly for new pilots. We wouldn't dream of doing such a thing. The cockpit of a 747 is for experienced professionals. If you're learning to fly then you belong in the cockpit of something like a Cessna 152.<p>Note that I'm not advocating for difficulty just for the sake of difficulty, and I don't want to keep people <i>out</i>. And if a language can accommodate beginners without making things worse for professionals then let's go for it. But it shouldn't be a major goal of most languages. | null | mikeash | null | 1,498,862,088 | "2017-06-30T22:34:48Z" | comment | 14,673,966 | 14,673,893 | null | null | null |

Many large companies (fb, twitter) use P2P protocols for internal distribution of resources.

I'd argue this period was when people really figured out the value of BitTorrent and decided it was often too difficult to expose to the end user.<p>FWIW, I built a BitTorrent tracker "framework" (chihaya.io) that a few orgs use to get the advantages of P2P with whatever extra middleware they need for their use cases. | null | jzelinskie | null | 1,498,862,105 | "2017-06-30T22:35:05Z" | comment | 14,673,967 | 14,673,791 | null | null | null |
165,834 | null | null | You need a domain name, a period, a top level domain, a slash and then an address at that domain.<p>The shortest top level domains are the country ones - which are two characters long. The shortest domain name on top of that would be one character.<p>So <a href="http://j.mp/Whatever" rel="nofollow">http://j.mp/Whatever</a> is in fact the shortest you can get. | null | AndrewDucker | null | 1,252,077,799 | "2009-09-04T15:23:19Z" | comment | 804,965 | 804,947 | null | null | null |
165,835 | null | null | Slavery happened for purely economic reasons didn't it? In one systtem the dominant African tribes and other groups rounded people up, they sold them to the (AFAIR) Europeans who were ship owners and traders who took the slaves off to be traded elsewhere, the slave-owners then traded on further or used the slaves to work the land and make profits. Those profits being invested back down the chain to the slave captors in Africa.<p>Slave trades established in other areas I expect followed the same modes. The purpose was to make money for those links in the financial chains from those in the iron chains.<p>Slaves were also taken from prisoners of war which is probably as much about dominance in government of the lands won as it is about direct financial gain.<p>People in Africa, and elsewhere, are still sold into slavery just not as often transported to the West.<p>Sorry that was all a bit OT. | null | pbhjpbhj | null | 1,252,077,781 | "2009-09-04T15:23:01Z" | comment | 804,964 | 804,795 | null | null | null |

165,839 | null | null | Good point, but I suspect even given the amount of money they've spent on development, and given the production runs on these things are tiny, they'll probably still beat Sun on total price. Hell, even if they only made one of the things they could spend $800k on developing/manufacturing it and still beat Sun.<p>As far as I'm concerned, you'd have to write the custom software even if you used Sun's boxes. I wouldn't trust data to a single machine of anyone's design. Though that's probably just me.<p>The S3 comparison is totally invalid though, I agree. | null | russss | null | 1,252,077,692 | "2009-09-04T15:21:32Z" | comment | 804,960 | 803,935 | null | null | null |

165,842 | null | null | Hmm. Sure, M1 isn't suited for heavy workstation loads. They didn't target that sector yet. What's your point?<p>This is not the last processor they will do.

There will be an M2 and an M3, and ....<p>Given the performance AND energy beating they are putting on the market sector that they targeted with M1, why is there any reason to believe they won't kill the high-end workstation sector when they target that? | null | dev_tty01 | null | 1,619,151,225 | "2021-04-23T04:13:45Z" | comment | 26,910,921 | 26,910,543 | null | null | null |
165,843 | null | null | Pretty much my experience as well. I suffered quite a lot from "Be ready to ship crappy products" when the projects were short (it happened quite a lot when I was doing AWS consulting).<p>I will also add that companies using consultants can be divided in two distinct groups:<p>1) The companies who know where they are doing and they are using consultants as extra hands/expertise.
2) The companies who expects consultants to (magically) fix their deep problems just because "we pay".<p>I have worked for both and 1) is definitely more enjoyable (as you can imagne!). | null | pmkiwi | null | 1,619,151,213 | "2021-04-23T04:13:33Z" | comment | 26,910,920 | 26,902,509 | null | null | null |
