Receiving funding is different from being funded by, right? It may have been payment for the service provided by Huawei to the China's military and intelligence, right? Or can Huawei not provide service to them even if it's a Chinese company?

The sats don&#x27;t change orbit every few hours though, also without AGPS you usually can use the ephemerides from last time you used it.<p>This is fun to observe when you buy a new phone and don&#x27;t connect network yet, it takes a good while to find any satellites and finally find a fix. Then after cycling GPS, it finds it almost instantly.

I built something like this for myself as I was unsatisfied with systems like pelican or jekyll. Currently it’s not documented at all but you can have a look at it here:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;adewes&#x2F;beam-up" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;adewes&#x2F;beam-up</a><p>It’s a very simple system that relies on Yaml files for configuration and uses plugin-based builders and processors (e.g. for Markdown or Jinja). We use it for all our production sites (e.g. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gdpr.dpkit.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gdpr.dpkit.com</a>, source at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dpkit&#x2F;gdpr-portal" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dpkit&#x2F;gdpr-portal</a>) and it works very well without getting in the way. If there would be some interest I’d be happy to write up some docs for it, right now I’m just scratching my own itch with it.

Howdy! I work fighting climate change, and I guess it&#x27;s that time again for a what-can-you-do-about-it post :)<p>So what can you do about it?<p>You can get a job fighting climate change! Solar, wind, batteries, and EVs are now competitive against fossil-based incumbents, so now the biggest issue is scaling them up. That means tons and tons of problem solving, which means great software and engineering jobs and startup opportunities!<p>If you think about it, the switch to renewables means we need to deal with situations where the sun isn&#x27;t shining and the wind isn&#x27;t blowing, yet still keep the lights on. That means you have to build in a ton of storage and load control and electrify as much as you can (transportation, heating, etc.). All that new infrastructure needs to have good communication and analysis, which means software! Something like half of the impact of the energy transition will be done through software optimizing the deployment and operation of clean energy assets.<p>I&#x27;ve posted about this many times[1], so please check out my previous comments on links for finding climate impact work. It&#x27;s mostly about (A) browsing sector-specific conferences and looking at the expo and speakers&#x27; companies for ones that interest you, and (B) showing up to energy meetups just to meet people working in the space. If you&#x27;re in the bay area, I run a calendar of all the clean energy-related events (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bayareaenergyevents.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bayareaenergyevents.com</a>), so I encourage you to just start showing up :)<p>My favorite climate change joke is, &quot;They say we won&#x27;t act until it&#x27;s too late... Luckily, it&#x27;s too late!&quot;<p>Why not turn the fatalism and anxiety you feel into a paycheck?<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=15127154" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=15127154</a>

Counterpoint and proviso: <i>know what the hell you are doing</i>. It's easily possible to do more harm than good if you don't know better.<p>For example, whenever a motorcyclist gets into a crash, people get the bright idea that they need to get the helmet off. No, the helmet is bracing their neck, which may very well be badly injured, so sometimes if you just pull it off, now the guy's a quadriplegic, and since you were just "trying to help", the law shields you from legal responsibility even though you just crippled someone for life.

I have a strong desire to refactor code as I read it. I tend to avoid this behavior because (a) most codebases are in need of <i>so much</i> cleanup, and (b) I like to keep commits small and topical. Perhaps I should re-evaluate how I weight these factors.

I think teaching fundamental mathematics to programmers using ITS (Intelligent Tutoring System) technology is a very promising idea. For example, an ITS that is capable of doing step-by-step elementary algebra equation solving would be able to teach this subject, and it would also be able to provide instant feedback which is much more detailed than a human would typically provide.<p>I have been working on a step-by-step elementary algebra equation solver for a few years now, and here is an example of what I have working so far:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;p1.ssucet.org&#x2F;tkosan&#x2F;misc&#x2F;mathfuture&#x2F;steps&#x2F;solve_equation_1.png" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;p1.ssucet.org&#x2F;tkosan&#x2F;misc&#x2F;mathfuture&#x2F;steps&#x2F;solve_equa...</a><p>If you are interested in discussing the possibility of teaching programmers fundamental mathematics using technology like this, feel free to contact me (my email address is in my profile).

IIRC you formally can&#x27;t promote some memory orders without in some case introducing new behaviors. (You formally can&#x27;t serialize in some cases, which is quite insane.)<p>But this is only anecdotal to my point.<p>What I&#x27;m especially against is situations like when we <i>loose</i> a behavior and a culture that was there for C programmers for something like 3 decades, that is rooted on experience on big project with an high number of <i>regular</i> programmers (and not just the Aristotelian idea of what a programmer should be according to (not even really existing) formal logic), and the justification is nothing else than lossy reading of a spec that in a lot of cases never had been written with the intent attributed to it by such compiler authors. Like I said; if you have an obscure arch (and&#x2F;or mode) on which something results in an undefined behavior, the way the standard is constructed implies it has to call for undefined behavior. At the same time, it is hinted that you should provide stronger guarantee if you can. If e.g. you are considering a shift instruction on your target architecture I see nothing than more appropriate than to map the shift of the langage to such instruction to define the least astonishment behavior. You have no business in the programming langage area if you don&#x27;t reason like that.<p>Again: &quot;undefined behavior: behavior, upon use of a <i>nonportable</i> or erroneous program construct or of erroneous data, for which this International Standard imposes no requirements&quot; and there even is a note that states: &quot;Possible undefined behavior ranges from ignoring the situation completely with unpredictable results, to behaving during translation or program execution in a documented manner characteristic of the environment (with or without the issuance of a diagnostic message), to terminating a translation or execution (with the issuance of a diagnostic message). EXAMPLE An example of undefined behavior is the behavior on integer overflow.&quot;<p>Now the interpretation of those young clueless hippies is most of the time: just fuck the programmer, his program should be able to run on that DSP that does not exist anymore, so let&#x27;s fuck it as well on x86 so it will crash faster where it ran flawlessly during 3 decades and each one of the hundreds of programmers who reviewed it at that time agreed on what it should do, because at least it will crash faster, and this is what we do now.<p>And honestly, the only reaction that kind of attitude inspire is: fuck them and that kind of bullshit. I have no confidence in people that even think for 1sec it could a good idea to discuss about how technically uint8_t is not mandated to alias everything, and to my horror I&#x27;ve witness that very thread... When you pretend to be a compiler author and get to that point, you should just change your career before you become too dangerous.<p>Now for practical purposes, if you want the list of options to get back a half-sane compiler behavior take a look at what Linux uses, because Linus is even less tolerant than I am to technical insanity and wicked default choices. Then triple check the current manpage of your exact version to see if you need to disable some extra &quot;optimizations&quot;. Only then you (and your team) can start to program some general purpose stuff without putting your users in danger -- and you should still strive to be as compliant as possible BTW, but that&#x27;s what of the thing real engineering is about: safety in depth.

For a topical example, take the covid vaccine distribution system. It is done by the government, and has fared poorly in the US and Europe. The excuses are variations on &quot;the states don&#x27;t know how to set up a distribution system&quot;.<p>But we already have a distribution system for vaccines. Where did you get your last flu shot? The local drug store, a market based system. I see the government busy trying to reproduce overnight an efficient, working system that&#x27;s already there sitting idle. Of course they&#x27;ll fail.<p>I phoned my local drug store and asked if I can make an appointment for a covid vaccination. They replied they have no idea when or if they&#x27;d ever get any vaccination supply. Meanwhile, the state says they have a severe lack of people who can give vaccinations. (I know where they are hiding, they&#x27;re behind the counter at your local pharmacy.)<p>The solution is simple and stupidly obvious. Distribute vaccines to the zillion pharmacies, and pay them per vaccination in arm. They&#x27;re not going to waste any time vaccinating people.

last February I was in Tokyo training for the marathon. Whilst I was on a long training run round the city, I received a message that the marathon was just cancelled. At this point I decided to run as far as possible as it was my only chance to do so. Around half way I started to get a weird pain in the side of my ankle but pushed through it.<p>I still have that pain almost a year later, multiple MRIs and orthopedics have been unsuccessful in finding out what it is. I&#x27;m only now able to run very short (2.5km) distances. Pushing yourself to ignore pain is very possible and can be very dangerous.

From my memory GNOME 3 and Unity were created because there was a trend to make all interfaces both desktop and mobile friendly, Ubuntu tried to ship a phone using Unity, and GNOME 3 was advertised for its tablet friendly interface.<p>For Windows world there was Metro UI of Windows 8, Apple insisted on using different UIs for desktop and mobile and was laughed at.

It&#x27;s interesting how polarizing this article is. After zigzagging several times while reading the comments I just think that reality is more nuanced than &quot;never apologize&quot; or &quot;apologize&quot;, and it simply depends on the context.<p>It seems to me that most comments with a strong opinion (including the article) have a specific scenario in mind, involving assumptions about the dev&#x27;s intentions to write good code, the bug&#x27;s effect, how easy it would have been to avoid the bug, and who is this person we&#x27;re considering to apologize to (coworker &#x2F; manager &#x2F; customer &#x2F; QA who found the bug). In some situations apologizing feels right, in others it doesn&#x27;t, so there&#x27;s not much sense in generalizing from a single scenario to the general case.<p>I think ultimately it comes down to matching expectations: almost all people involved in software development expect bugs. The question is how much effort do they expect me to put into reducing the quantity and severeness of those bugs. When I go to a dentist I expect them to make every possible effort to avoid harming me; generally this is not the expectation of software developers going about their day. A feature that takes one hour with reasonable effort at ensuring quality could easily take a day or a week if you make _every possible effort_ to ensure it is bug-free. Different pieces of code (at different times) could have different amounts of impact, so it takes a wider understanding of the code&#x27;s context to decide how much effort I&#x27;m going to put into chasing bugs. When in doubt, I match expectations with the relevant stakeholder(s). Then the situations where apologizing feels right are either those where I didn&#x27;t meet the expectations, e.g. I was in a hurry to push so I didn&#x27;t take the time to properly test and I should have known better (not very frequent); or situations where I didn&#x27;t take the time to properly match expectations (though sometimes that&#x27;s on the other party, but it takes two to match expectations).<p>One other thing regarding responsibility - I think that taking responsibility and apologizing are different things. Sure, you can take responsibility by apologizing, but there are other ways too. When something breaks in my apartment and I call my landlord, they (usually) take full responsibility and make sure the problem is fixed, but so far they never apologized, and it would feel funny if they did.

This article spends a ton of time explaining very rudimentary things and then completely glosses over what it intends to convey.<p>C-style casts aren&#x27;t evil, but they are powerful. They can also be used in places where more than one C++ cast would be required. C developers are very likely to use the C style because it mostly gets the job done the first try.<p>C developers working on C++ code are not likely to be swayed much by anything that doesn&#x27;t make a strong case for having 4 different cast operators and this article doesn&#x27;t manage to do that.

I don&#x27;t think lack of participation from other browsers has been a big component. Firefox actually gave some excellent feedback on the FLoC API.

Making something fully privacy preserving that recovers no revenue isn&#x27;t especially difficult, and making something that recovers revenue but has fatal privacy issues is not that bad, but solving both of these at once, while building a system that has good performance on real devices, is somewhere between really hard and not possible.<p>(I used to work on this, on the Google Ads side)<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mozilla.github.io&#x2F;ppa-docs&#x2F;floc_report.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mozilla.github.io&#x2F;ppa-docs&#x2F;floc_report.pdf</a>

&gt;Interestingly, the PM in a Westminster model is actually more powerful than the President in the US mode. That’s because the PM is part of legislative and executive branch and in theory can get more of their agenda done. In practice, it can vary.<p>I don&#x27;t know of any cases among the developed English-speaking countries with Westminster-style governments where your latter sentence is meaningful. The Canadian Prime Minister, especially, is said to be the most powerful single government leader in the world, but really is merely the (to coin a phrase) first among equals among his peers in other countries.<p>For others&#x27; benefit, a Canadian Prime Minister can<p>* Appoint anyone he wants to cabinet positions<p>* Appoint anyone he wants to the Supreme Court[1]<p>* Appoint anyone he wants to ambassadorships and other high positions<p>* Sign any treaty he wants<p>* Call an election whenever he thinks he has the best chance of winning more seats than his party possesses in Parliament at the moment<p>* Get <i>any</i> law passed he wants (assuming that his party has a majority or equivalent thereof), with no meaningful need to deal with an upper house<p>* Run for reelection as Prime Minister as often as he wants<p>Most of the above apply to the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland. The Irish and British upper houses have little power, and New Zealand no longer has an upper house; only Australia has an upper house in the legislature with significant power.<p>[1] Yes, yes, I know about the convention that the PM names someone from a list of suggestions.

&gt; The wide-address host would have to have an additional IPv4-compatible address bound to its network interface.<p>Yes, we call that (having v4 and v6 addresses) a &quot;dual stack&quot; configuration. The host gets to choose which protocol to use as it desires. If you have a v4 address, you can even refer to that (v4) address in v6 packets[1] by setting the leading bits to 0. That is, v4 &quot;A.B.C.D&quot; as a v6 address is just &quot;::A.B.C.D&quot;. The v4 address space is embedded into the v6 address space; this is generally automatic in dual-stack configurations. You can even refer to a v4-only address in a v6 packet as &quot;::FFFF:A.B.C.D&quot;.<p>However, if you want your packets to convert back to v4 automagically (so you only have to speak a single v6 stack)... if you want to autoconvert between IP versions in transit...<p>&gt; some other host would have to have such an IPv4-compatible address on its behalf<p>As jandrese already pointed out, that&#x27;s called 4to6, setup the proxy (if needed), and use &quot;64:ff9b::A.B.C.D&quot; for your v4 addresses.<p>The thing you seem to be asking for is already a feature of IPv6. However, the thing that can never happen is <i>doing any of this transparently in a v4 packet</i>. Where, specifically, in the IPv4 header[2], are you going to put extra SRC <i>and</i> DST address bits? You cannot change the location of any existing bit in the header: everything (including IP-aware routing hardware) (including the software&#x2F;firmware of every v4-speaking device, most of which will never - or cannot ever - receive an update) already assumes that e.g. &quot;the source address is on header octet 12-15 (bit 96-127)&quot;. The only <i>remotely hypothetical</i> place anything could be added would be in an IP Option field, which would be a <i>terrible</i> idea. Other options might change the location of the new address bits in the header, meaning routers would have to <i>sequentially parse</i> all of the option fields to parse addresses, which would be a mandatory delay even with legacy pure-v4 packets. Also, most firewalls will probably drop the new, unexpected option as &quot;possibly malicious&quot;. To do anything else to the header, you would need to change the version number, which immediately introduces the compatibility issues everyone complains about with IPv6.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tcpipguide.com&#x2F;free&#x2F;t_IPv6IPv4AddressEmbedding.htm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tcpipguide.com&#x2F;free&#x2F;t_IPv6IPv4AddressEmbedding.ht...</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;IPv4#Header" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;IPv4#Header</a>

Maybe we&#x27;re doing it wrong, but we use IPS for the same reasons that we use signature-based antivirus---as a backstop. Ideally, they wouldn&#x27;t do anything, but we live and work in a less-than-ideal world with imperfect information security policies (and configurations), mobile users and visitors and students, and IT staff who aren&#x27;t all infosec pros like you. And in that less-than-ideal world, both intrusion prevention systems and antivirus software mitigate enough risk to make their procurement, deployment, management, monitoring, and maintenance worth my while.

In North America the refrigerator and clothes washer&#x2F;dryer are usually the landlord&#x27;s, but sometimes people own their own clothes stuff -- I think self-ownership is becoming less common with time, but only have anecdata to back it up.

Google&#x27;s custom service is ridiculous. They ever suddenly emailed me that my merchant earning (accumulated in about three years) will be escheated to nation government until I provide valid payment information in one month. However, for some reason. it will take more than one month for me to get a valid payment information.<p>Then they really escheated my earning to some a nation government after 30 days. However when I requested them for the escheatment ID so that I can contact that nation government to find my money back, they said they don&#x27;t have the ID! They eascheated my money without any recording! Which is almost the same as throwing my money in ocean.

&gt; In the end we all die and take nothing with us, nor do we leave anything behind which will last all that long. If everything is ultimately futile, why make a distinction between one pursuit and another?<p>This viewpoint is destructive. Your actions affect your future and the futures of the people around you. They are not futile. When someone learns to play the piano, it becomes a tool that can be used in countless applications in a person&#x27;s life. When you learn to wall jump in Metroid, you learn to wall jump in Metroid and maybe in some other games. The variety of application just isn&#x27;t there. It&#x27;s just not comparable.

Getting Mac OS X to run on ARM is no big deal. I'm sure there are internal test systems doing this already.<p>Getting the entire ecosystem moved over is a very big deal. I don't see how an emulation approach can work this time, as the ARM chips would not be significantly faster than the chips they are replacing.

This seems to be a simple case of poor calibration. These machines tend to sit in warehouses, only getting turned on a few times a year. This can lead to drift in the touchscreens that needs to be recalibrated. Poll workers aren't always trained on how to do this, or do it improperly.<p>The text with the video states that it wasn't a calibration issue, but they don't have any video evidence to back that up. I'd like some more evidence before we assume anything nefarious.

As for the GIA when shit hit the fan it was swiftly infiltrated by the military to stage false flag terrorist attacks, target political opponents within the military and further demonize the Islamic party. The same military that got the green light from the ex-colonizer to stage the coup in the first place.<p>Then in 1999 after 250,000 people died and the FIS and Islamists’ images were totally destroyed, the government gave the “terrorists” amnesty and cash in exchange for peace. No jail, no criminal record, no legal. proceedings whatsoever. Almost like family.<p>Most people don’t care about democracy. Even the US who has waged countless wars in its name ironically has like a 55% avg voter turnout.

Watching the video it seems that the keyboard is active as long as a text-entry widget is focused, so it works exactly like a visible virtual keyboard - although introducing a mode with no visual feedback may sometimes induce errors.

It's been my experience that activist mayors that do so (flaunt regulations &#38; selectively adhere to the law) really are more interested in seeking higher office. Best mayors are ones that realize their job is to keep the streets safe, the garbage hauled, and the sewer working.<p>I do agree that county and state legislatures are much more effective places for real change if only our federal judiciary would quit hamstring their efforts.

I&#x27;m Derek, one of the co-founders--thank you!<p>We&#x27;re super happy with where Stride is at! We&#x27;ve continued to onboard customers in a few AWS regions and the infrastructure is rock solid at this point. Most users are ingesting 10k+ events&#x2F;s and their analytics frontends are retrieving results in well under 100ms. We&#x27;ve gotten it to the point where it &quot;just works&quot; which has made Stride users&#x27; lives a lot easier at that scale.<p>And since the hard parts of Stride are powered by PipelineDB, an added benefit for us is that we now get a ton of super detailed instrumentation data about PipelineDB performance and behavior, which has helped make the open-source product quite a bit better.<p>We&#x27;ll be moving Stride into self-service&#x2F;GA next year--stay tuned!

Python&#x27;s lambda is very intentionally limited precisely to steer people away from overly functional code. Don&#x27;t write Haskell in Python, and equally don&#x27;t write Java in Python.

Oh god. A bit over-the-top is putting it mildly. If she won&#x27;t get help I don&#x27;t know what you can do. Learn how to communicate and defend yourself better could be a start.

If you have any insight into why she feels so strongly about how &quot;bad&quot; you are it could be a start as well. Sorry to hear that, it sounds like a real horror story.

I might be having rose tinted spectacles but I remember when Spotify first launched in the UK, maybe 2010. The app was _screaming fast_ in comparison to iTunes at the time, and I think it had a similar interface to itunes as well (although could be misremembering) with a table-like layout [1]<p>I really don&#x27;t understand what happened between then and now, it was really a big deal at the time where the UI was snappy and playing a song was almost instantaenous.

A lot of build systems focus on trying to make it &quot;easier&quot; to define a build, and invariably that notion comes with a certain naiveté about what is needed for a build.<p>Build systems are never fun, agreed. That&#x27;s not the point. The point of Bazel is having one that is correct and efficient. That makes a huge difference, though not with the same out-of-box-experience as the &quot;easier to use&quot; build systems.<p>We&#x27;ll see where this goes, but I&#x27;d encourage you to recognize the difference in what is being attempted here (admittedly, not for the first time, but this design has a pretty established track record... note the comments here of people actually <i>missing</i> the Google build system).

I&#x27;ve been plugging subresource integrity for months on HN, and have been modded down for it. Now Mozilla says &quot;Don&#x27;t let your CDN betray you&quot;. I&#x27;ve called some CDNs &quot;MITM-as-a-service&quot;.<p>Pages which use this should detect subresource integrity fails and report them to both the browser user and a non-CDN logging machine. Subresource integrity should put a stop to CDNs and ISPs inserting ads and spyware, because if even a few major sites use subresource integrity, they&#x27;ll get caught quickly and will suffer bad publicity.<p>This encourages using a CDN for only the bulky parts of a site. Put the important pages (entry pages, login pages, credit card acceptance) on a server you control, with your own SSL cert. Put the resources loaded with subresource integrity on a CDN. Now you&#x27;re not trusting the CDN at all.<p>Tools for website maintenance will need some improvement. Files need version info in their names; if the content changes, the URL should change, too. Maybe use the hash as part of the URL. Such files can have indefinite cache expiration times; they&#x27;re immutable.

I just decided to use TypeScript for a new REST API I&#x27;m writing. I&#x27;d have liked to use Rust instead, but I felt it was still too early (and can&#x27;t afford the productivity hits of using a new-ish ecosystem).<p>So far, TypeScript&#x27;s type system isn&#x27;t perfect, but it is strict enough to help me catch errors before runtime. Also, there&#x27;s the (huge) added benefit of making code more readable and self-documenting.<p>I think I&#x27;ve only had one instance where I violated a type at runtime, but keeping the type system in mind as you&#x27;re writing your code, you know exactly where those things can or can&#x27;t happen.<p>I am really enjoying using Visual Studio&#x27;s excellent IntelliSense and debugging features, which are on-par with any other web language I&#x27;ve used. Generally speaking, the typing makes hints and autocompletion <i>far</i> better.<p>Overall, I&#x27;d give the whole experience a 7 out of 10. I don&#x27;t really know of a more productive way to write asynchronous code at the moment.

&gt; A much better approach in my opinion is to start with an unrestricted, effectful language and identify fragments with fewer effects via types.<p>This is precisely what an effect system is, and what the languages that I mentioned do. So it seems that you agree with the the church of lambda on this point?<p>&gt; We have been talking about large-scale software engineering, and whether Curry-Howard or program logic is a more scalable approach towards program verification. [...] I cannot see how a verification tool that I&#x27;m forced to use in prototype phases when there is no stable specification is cost-effective in large-scale software engineering.<p>I&#x27;ve explained several times that the assumption that you need to do full on verification from the start with a CH style system is incorrect. You can write your prototype without any verification and add lemmas and theorems about it when the spec stabilizes. This is not a fundamental difference between CH style vs program logic style.<p>&gt; Sheer expressiveness is not interesting. You can produce trivial typing systems where every program is typable.<p>Well yes, you also need &quot;well typed programs don&#x27;t go wrong&quot; of course, which dependent type systems do have. I don&#x27;t think decidability of type checking is desirable, by the way. What you really want is a system that checks statically as much as possible, but can check dynamically that which it can&#x27;t verify statically. Rather than two possibilities &quot;correct&quot; vs &quot;incorrect&quot; you want three: &quot;definitely correct&quot;, &quot;definitely incorrect&quot; and &quot;can&#x27;t determine statically, so let&#x27;s check dynamically&quot;. In the last case conventional systems just reject the program as incorrect, but I think that is not as helpful.<p>&gt; Even if some kind of polished Haskell with dependent types can be build, whether that then generalises to state, concurrency, timing etc in a clean way is another open question.<p>More open than a program logic system that does the same? I don&#x27;t think the approaches are that different in this regard. With state&#x2F;concurrency&#x2F;etc you work with a description of the computation (like in Haskell you work with a description of an IO computation). Those satisfy certain laws which you can use to reason about them. There is of course a huge design space to be explored here, but that design space isn&#x27;t all that different than the design space of a program logic style system for the same.<p>&gt; The term is used in with different meanings in different contexts.<p>I see, yes. They&#x27;re sometimes called implicit parameters, sometimes implicit arguments, and there&#x27;s differences in whether only unification is used or also type class &#x2F; canonical structures &#x2F; scala style implicit parameters kind of non-canonical inference.<p>&gt; That&#x27;s not full type inference. Sage use hybrid type-checking and inserts dynamic checks where type inference fails.<p>The dynamic checks are for when type checking fails, not type inference. The type inference will always infer the type if the term is typeable. Of course it may sometimes infer a type that the type checker doesn&#x27;t know statically whether it&#x27;s valid or not, so you need dynamic checks then. There is no incompleteness defeating magic here, but <i>if</i> the term is typeable then the type inference will infer a type for the term, whether the type checker statically knows that it&#x27;s valid or not. I did say this was more of a theoretical curiosity.<p>&gt; Are you sure?<p>That paper itself says so in the first sentence?
