418 | null | null | Actually, I think Elixir's pattern matching is slightly worse than OCaml simply because there's no in-built syntax for multiple matches pointing to the same clause. Ex:<p><pre><code> (* In OCaml *)
type t = A | B | C | D
match A with
| A | B -> "something"
| C | D -> "else"
</code></pre>
And in elixir:<p><pre><code> case :a do
a when a in [:a, :b] -> "something"
a when a in [:c, :d] -> "else"
end
</code></pre>
And of course, you lose exhaustiveness from type information, but that's a preference.<p>But, more to the point, I think what GP's referring to is partial function definitions via pattern matching on the arguments. That <i>is</i> intoxicating, and I wish OCaml had that. | null | d3nj4l | null | 1,644,419,779 | "2022-02-09T15:16:19Z" | comment | 30,273,565 | 30,270,661 | null | null | null |

420 | null | null | This is a ridiculous conflation of the facts.<p>"The problem is that the 'open access' rules attached to the so-called 700 Mhz C block require the carrier to allow the use of any hardware or software that it can’t prove won’t damage the network."<p>Put simply, Verizon must allow customers to use "unlocked" phones on their network.<p>How in the world do we go from that to "Verizon must only offer unlocked phones"? Then the author claims that the motivating actor is Google, who only sells one unlocked phone, and it only sells it in a GSM variant. Jump ahead to a quote from Markham Erickson, who just happens to be the executive director of the Open Internet Coalition. I'm sure his view is impartial and objective, right?<p>The biggest "tell" that this is link bait is the fact that they chose the iPhone as the headliner. News flash: every Android phone sold on Verizon is also in violation of this rule interpretation.<p>Apple has no qualms about selling unlocked iPhones. They do it abroad. Apple recognizes the value of a channel partner, and consumers have voted with their wallets. When given the choice between a $600 unsubsidized iPhone (which is still available, by the way) and a $200 phone with a two-year contract, customers go for the cheaper phone. Thus Apple sells phones though the channel that moves units. If Verizon is forced to open their phones, expect prices for Verizon phones to skyrocket, resulting in a significant advantage for their competitors. I find it very difficult to believe that the government would give such an unfair advantage to Verizon's competitors.<p>The overview on Ars Technica is much better (as usual) and doesn't attempt to sensationalize the impact of the ruling. Note that it's from 2007.

Just a small effort can change your thought process and better optimize your use of money and improve your lifestyle.<p>While many don't despise their career, everyone prefers having complete say over how they spend their time to having to do what a boss demands.

427 | null | null | This is absolutely absurd. And the fact that they justify it as to stop spread of COVID-19 is even more bizarre.<p>The government imposed this mortality-inducing and economically destructive lockdown, if they want to prevent evictions they need to pay the landlords what they’re owed. Reparations.<p>—-<p>While I’m at it, a reminder that with COVID-19 we abandoned the critical pathological vs physiological distinction and define COVID-19 as “rt-PCR-positive for SARS-2” in the absence of any symptoms, which is just wrong. “Asymptomatic COVID-19” is an oxymoron, no symptoms means no disease. “Pre-symptomatic COVID-19” makes sense, but not asymptomatic.<p>You can have HIV without AIDS. Your skin can be colonized with C. Acnes without acne. But if you are PCR-positive for SARS-CoV-2 they call that COVID-19.<p>The above absurd definition of COVID-19 is how the death count is being inflated. Died of a motorcycle accident in Orange County? COVID death. 2 month old infant born with intestines outside of body? COVID death. George Floyd? COVID death (he was PCR-positive). All 3 of those examples are real examples, not ones I made up.<p>We’re going to look back at this as the first example of <i>worldwide</i> collective delusion (except Sweden).

444 | null | null | I've been following Julia for a while now, not really using it, but playing with it a bit and keeping up with it. I think it's very promising and I really look forward to seeing it fledged out more.<p>It's a very small nitpick, but I wish Julia had a postfix function application syntax. It would be nice to be able to say `foo = 'hello'.reverse` and have it be syntactic sugar for `foo = reverse(hello)`. Or some other operator since `.` is in use. This reads nicer for long function chains, and especially when a function modifies its argument, it's nice to have that argument come first, which gives an OO-impression. E.g. for me this:<p><pre><code> app = make_app(options)
app.route("/", _ -> "hello, world!"),
app.route("/submit", POST, req -> "hello, $(req.params["name"])!")
app.start(3000)
</code></pre>
than this:<p><pre><code> app = make_app(options)
route(app, "/", _ -> "hello, world!"),

458 | null | null | Modernism in the arts has a bit of a path-dependency problem that tends to intentionally obscure the "artistic value" of the bleeding edge from the uninitiated, but which can make the art more meaningful to those who are familiar with the context.<p>I'll use jazz as an example, since I'm most familiar with that history. You can start with something as approachable, if disorganized as "Jelly Roll Blues"[0], and polish the genre into "Take the A Train" [1] as it became more generally popular. After that, though, the bleeding edge of the genre self-protects itself away from the common ear by growing increasingly obscure, with bop [2], modal jazz [3], free jazz [4??] becoming progressively less approachable to the uninitiated ear, to the point that the the unfamiliar ear can hear the latter and find itself unable to recognize even as "music", while someone familiar with the genre can see the path and appreciate the work in context.<p>[0] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zt203us6TME" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zt203us6TME</a><p>[1] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cb2w2m1JmCY" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cb2w2m1JmCY</a><p>[2] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2tvlp7RnlM" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2tvlp7RnlM</a><p>[3] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwmRQ0PBtXU" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwmRQ0PBtXU</a><p>[4] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ll3CMgiUPuU" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ll3CMgiUPuU</a> | null | InitialLastName | null | 1,551,982,084 | "2019-03-07T18:08:04Z" | comment | 19,330,421 | 19,329,919 | null | null | null |

If you have a ICE car you're bad, conform now!"<p>I don't want one, they don't currently meet my needs and I don't live in an urban area that has charging stations everywhere. When I say that I typically get shit on by a bunch of EV enthusiasts in online forums. So, my default response has been tainted by these encounters and I assume most EV owners are this way.

Yes, it would be possible to use type theory to make a mathematically rigorous CAS, but it would never be practical. Anyone who has ever tried knows that even proving something trivial like a+b+c+d=d+b+c+a in a theorem prover requires a suprising amount of ingenuity. There are few people in the world who have the skills to define and prove something more advanced like Buchberger's algorithm, and a task like that would probably require several math papers worth of new research just to produce the slowest implementation known to mankind. And it would take years. | null | JoeyBananas | null | 1,650,499,351 | "2022-04-21T00:02:31Z" | comment | 31,104,614 | 31,101,332 | null | null | null |
493 | null | null | If the cops wore masks and beat people up slightly more often the opening scene of Half Life 2 would basically be a documentary about traveling into Boston via rail. The cameras, steel gates, cops standing around everywhere, "see something say something" messages on the PA, it's all there. | null | dsfyu404ed | null | 1,534,366,862 | "2018-08-15T21:01:02Z" | comment | 17,769,738 | 17,768,465 | null | null | null |

495 | null | null | Your analogy is insipid. If kidnapping is not right, the people who sold their children to kidnappers should never again get custody of their children, especially if the children are begging not to go back. How ridiculous to claim something belongs in the colonial age while defending the nations that continue the practice today, namely China. China defenders are the lowest of the low, the political equivalent of the pedophile defenders. | true | whoaisme | null | 1,629,272,755 | "2021-08-18T07:45:55Z" | comment | 28,218,624 | 28,218,541 | null | null | null |

497 | null | null | Django + HTMX is truly awesome to work with.<p>It reminds me a bit of Phoenix LiveView in the Elixir world.<p>One note though, the use of `hx-boost` will not update the address in the URL bar, which is problematic if you refresh the page.<p>Also, I'm using TailwindCSS within my Django templates. At first I didn't like it, I was not understanding the difference with writing `style` attributes and it looked like an anti-pattern to me. But after using it for a while, it's just quicker to refactor, and easier to get it right.<p>The next thing I'll try with HTMX is to integrate it with SVG. How awesome would it be to have C4 models or other diagrams where you can click the boxes to "zoom in"? I wonder if PlantUML can generate partial diagrams... | null | linkdd | null | 1,650,499,315 | "2022-04-21T00:01:55Z" | comment | 31,104,613 | 31,104,095 | null | null | null |
498 | null | null | Yeah, I got that too.
