Nobody's used cabal-dev in Haskell-land for ages. Cabal has had native sandboxing since mid-2013 and Stack is a more recent alternative.

I'd argue Nix is nicer for everything but Haskell because the way Nix thinks about versions doesn't fit projects as neatly as one would think. As a Linux distro it's nifty (fully systemd-ified).

Cabal sandboxes have "just worked" since release in my experience (my own, plus hundreds of IRC users I've helped).
Thanks for creating a fun memory of my childhood.
Can you give an example of what the 'multitude of choices' is please?

I hear this often about Linux and don't really understand what people mean. Interested to hear someone else's perspective.

From my perspective, there are options in the Linux world but a pretty clear beaten path of common choices. The one choice you have to make is the toolkit - QT or GTK+ - but that seems like it. In terms of things like sessions, caching all the distributions follow the same standard (e.g freedesktop.org)
Our approach allows us to integrate with the existing runtimes, enhancing them, rather than having a new implementation. The PyPy approach is capable of much bigger gains, but we can integrate directly into the existing language community, along with all extensions.
It's probably not very easy to compare.

For example I work in France and I keep approx $36k after all taxes (but still not taking VAT into account, which is 20% on most products). This salary costs around $78k for the company I work for. Approx breakdown: 25k in employer taxes, 12k in employee taxes (the distinction is rather arbitrary, but sometimes the government changes the rate of one or the other...) and then 5k in household income taxes (if you have some capital gains it also goes to income, but actual work is taxed over and over and over... :p )

Also I work full time: 218 days a year (with no fixed number of hours per week, but it is very reasonable). That's more than 6 weeks of paid vacation + a dozen of holiday here and there. And when I was sick for 3 weeks last year, it was not deduced from my vacations (but the sickness indemnity during those 3 weeks were less than my usual rate, maybe 60% but I'm not sure)

I also sometimes work on the side as an independent and on the monetary side the end result is roughly the same: if a client pays me X, at the end I keep approx X/2 and the other X/2 goes to various taxes (but it is better to be salaried, because those X/2 in tax provides you virtually no security as an independent, whereas they do when salaried)

Now to compare anything you'll also have to at least convert in PPP, and also consider what is provided to you (and even to others!) for "free" with your taxes. This is arguably not reducible to a single figure; I would rather make a "little" less if that lets other people have better health care and if that means that nobody will ever ask me a fucking ridiculous amount of money if I need a really expensive medical treatment (not that the French health care system is the best, but I guess it is not that bad compared to some other countries...). Also a lot of social and related services are provided for completely free to the users. And even in areas where housing is expensive you would find it insanely cheap compared to NYC or some places in the silicon valley.

And to finish remember that the value of the Euro has decreased a lot the last few months compared to the USD. That make all the amounts even more difficult to compare: one year ago I would have told you that I keep maybe $47k after all taxes (from an amount in € that was actually a little lower than what i have now...)
We've been trying to avoid using the term "smart battery" for that very reason haha. We don't think people would be psyched about having a BLE connection and an app for their car battery.
Honest, lateral question: Now that I think about it, will DRM prevent the use of ad-blockers on a majority of websites? Could this be a sweepingly major side-effect of DRMs?
A subreddit is a shared resource, and moderation is useful because going based on popular opinion has various flaws, like the fact that the people more likely to vote are also more likely to be crazy.

A Twitter stream isn't a shared resource so that doesn't apply. If a bunch of dickheads come into a subreddit they can really ruin it. But I choose who goes into my Twitter stream, so dickheads can't get in, and if they manage to trick me then I can just remove them.

In essence, on Twitter, each subscriber is moderator of their own little subreddit of one.
Publicly accessible email addresses are nearly impossible to manage. Reddit has 20 million unique visitors per month. If in a given month 1% of users send an email in a month, they are receiving an email an average of once every 13 seconds. Assuming you can read an email every second that is still three full time employees just reading email to keep up.
It is true that this is magic for the majority of the population.

However, for most of the members of this forum saving half your after-tax income is perfectly reasonable. I would wager that 90% of the people on this forum makes at least 2x the median income for their location (unless you're based in SF).

So for most people on Hacker News, saving half your post-tax income means just means living an average lifestyle at worst.
Sure, the last time I deployed Haskell for a paycheck it was still cabal-dev. I'm absolutely out of date there.

But I sort of struggle to imagine using NixOS to ship products, as it would mandate every dev maintain a comparable NixOS environment for development. In a world where even editor choice can be contentious and user-facing Linux only runs well on a small handful of machine types, this seems a little unfair.

A large problem with current generation nuclear is that the easily obtainable uranium isotopes are in the process of running out (in no small part due to artificial limitations on e.g. reprocessing of fuel). We'll probably continue to have enough for some time to come, but a large-scale switch to nuclear energy is actually quite unlikely at this stage.

I don't mean to say that this is the primary reason for nuclear's demise - it isn't - but it is a real hurdle against increasing deployments.

Of course, there are very exciting new developments in nuclear technology that solve this - breeding, reprocessing, etc - but they are all (still) at an experimental stage. That's the catch-22 of nuclear: there's an existing, mature industry, which uses it's fuel unsustainably, and there are developments to sustainably use nuclear power, which is quite far from being an industry.
And he just posted why:

>In Russia, there is a law which allow Roskomnadzor, Russian censorship agency, to block any website without court rulling. Two years ago I tested how RKN react to abuse on popular websites/crazy abuses. On of that websites was Reddit.

>One thing I learned is that RKN doesn't want to block popular websites. They respond me that this content is illegal and they blocked it, but they weren't. It was on 05/21/2013. On 10st Aug 2015 they posted a call to help them contact Reddit administration to official VK page. Funny thing, but they called Psilocybe a plant. Several hours ago they reported that Reddit is blocked in Russia. Seems like things changed.

>How Reddit is blocked? Fully. As Reddit switched to HTTPS, there is no way to block special page.

>Will I remove this post? No. I also think that Reddit administration needs to do nothing. This is important issue on freedom of speech, and only RKN want to violate it.

>BTW, this post is a guide for indoor growing Psilocybe mushrooms in Russian. I'm not sure if any people saw this before blocking, but if you are here and you can read Russian, now you know to grow some shrooms, thanks to RKN.

>I could see some people with normal cars shelling out $50 for the longer life and features to avoid a dead battery, even if the reduced weight doesn't matter much to them.

my current BMW battery cost $130 and rated for something like 6 years - the car is 14.5 years old, had batteries replaced at 6.5 and 12.5 years (both times it wasn't dead yet, just on suggestion by the shop).
Waste of time. In 100 years the question will be what lifeform will you be working on / with.

Programming languages will look like stone tablets.
Also, using an existing engine often means giving up the possibility of having unique features or capabilities. Having the only game with multidimensional quad-resolution bumpmap tensors (in realtime!) can be a major selling point. Of course, in most cases, you'll get a better overall game by focusing on the art, story, gameplay, etc., but that doesn't always translate to sales.

That's an interesting perspective. I don't use Twitter for DMing, but for the services I do use to DM (mostly SMS/iMessage and Facebook) I find that I rarely (if ever) get close to 140 characters. Yet I do find the 140 character limit for public tweets annoying on a regular basis. I realize that's supposedly a fundamental part of Twitter's brand or niche, but I'd much rather see them remove the character limit for public tweets.
This looks like great work! Will there be a paper?

Why did you decide to show results from the synthetic benchmarks in bench9000, when there are 43 kernels from real compute-intensive libraries that are in-use in production (the PSD.rb and Chunky PNG benchmarks)?

Working on JRuby+Truffle I found that I could actually better optimise those benchmarks compared to the synthetic ones. The more complex code provides more opportunities to make big gains in performance compared to the simple code in the synthetic benchmarks.
> I definitely do the "manager doubling" when it comes to estimates. If I think it'll take a month, I estimate 2 months to my boss. If I have to report several levels up, I multiply by 2 for every level.

Hah, I like this. Every level up that sees it is also a potential for more scope creep, as each person will have their own vision of what's being produced.

One of my favorite estimating guidelines from a mentor was that development tasks are either 2, 4, or 8 hours. If it's more than 8 hours it can be broken up into smaller tasks.

One of the things we discovered is it actually takes a lot less current and energy to start engine than we originally thought. It's rare that anyone even uses 1% of the capacity of a regular lead-acid while cranking. So we're confident 10AH is more than enough.

The high capacity of most lead-acid is really just a side-effect of making a battery that can deliver high current over a reasonable lifetime.

Webpack is the only loader that does require.ensure to my knowledge. To answer your question; there's also System.import() (SystemJS) and require([]) (any AMD loader like requirejs) that are async module loading.

I don't follow the analogy. I don't see people arguing against all conceivable rules or moderation.
Your comment simply says that your politics don't align with The Economist's.

I personally find the "he said, she said" style of reporting that purports to give a fair account of all sides intolerable and hypocritical. It often allows complete idiots to air their opinions in the name of presenting a "different" view. This lets the reporter subtly influence the reader while preserving the illusion of impartiality.

The Economist is a highly biased newspaper. Unlike nearly all other publications aspiring to high-brow status, it displays its biases openly.

Lithium-ion car batteries are already commercially available, though cripplingly expensive: http://www.jegs.com/p/Lithium-Pros/Lithium-Pros-12-Volt-Lith...

The innovation here seems to be the capacitor bank, which lets you get away with a much smaller and cheaper lithium ion pack.
Actually, our very first prototype was a thing that sat on top your existing car battery. After talking to some people, it seemed like they preferred it integrated into the battery itself. It makes the price easier too, since you're not spending money on a battery AND a thing you put on top of it, just a better battery.

Industrial motors aren't something I've looked into a lot yet, but it could be interesting. I was just talking with someone the other day about using supercaps in robotics applications. Apparently some people are already putting small supercaps in the joints near the motors to help provide surge current during high accelerations or loads.
If you comment out b, and it segfaults, the segfault is caused by some code in a. Otherwise, the segfault is caused by some code in b. The root cause of the segfault in b may be found in a, but even looking at the stack trace from a debugger will still point you at b. This is nevertheless helpful information.

Further, there's a misunderstanding about the method. You do a binary search on the "percentage" of code viewed as an instruction stream that is allowed to execute, starting from the beginning. I understand that a can have a different length from b. Given more code, you can also search based on timestamps. You never comment out a and allow b to execute without it, this is nonsense. If that's what you thought I meant, I can understand comments about not actually being able to program. I did not explain this clearly, but only because I had forgotten that it was necessary to explain this clearly, because some people actually don't know how to program, even on HN.

Recently? The Times has been acquiring credibility question marks since before it unquestioningly published the nonsense about aluminum tubes in Iraq.
To be fair, the document claims not to be trying to invent anything new but rather to be cobbling together different known algorithms into a broad intelligence architecture.

A bit less than thirty years ago, I was booked onto a Midway Air flight out of Dubuque, Iowa. The plane was a very small two-engine turboprop, carrying about a dozen passengers. The clerk did not weigh me, but she did ask my weight, after which she assigned my seat, I assume according to some rough and ready algorithm for maintaining trim. She did weigh my luggage.

The good news is that the trim appeared to be fine. The bad news was that a crack in the manifold of the port engine caused a little fire. It was extinguished, but the port engine had to be shut down, and we came back around to land again.
And, sorry, I probably could have made that a little more clear! Like it or not, the default on the internet is often to assume argument.
Ah well, if you can just time the largest bull market in history from 20 years out you'll be fine then.
Thanks a lot. Helps me to internally better parse these topics (see below).

Well for me this whole business is sometimes very hard. I learned by training to kind of understand most peoples way of thinking in borders (or discourses if you are to follow Foucault). Thinking in differentiation and defining ones self ex negativo in what they are not. But these thoughts/concepts do not come natively.

I understand, that this oftentimes has to do with identity, but deep inside me all these concepts do not really make that much sense.

I really have to internally translate and rationalize these ideologies like race, citizenship (being proud of some place where one was born is so weird imho), gender differentiation and so on. As I do not experience these feelings. I cannot relate as these concepts are totally alien to me.

Except maybe that I seem to be somewhat different in not understanding these concepts, as everybody else seems to do.
How DNS works
You know the Economist is a pretty good publication when people can't decide if it's a far-left or far right mouthpiece.
"Duck and cover" is a popular target for ridicule, which is weird because it's always been excellent advice, even for global thermonuclear war. The fact that it's good for more conventional explosions lends further emphasis to that fact.

How does this compare to Docker?
That's what they say now, yes. But reading between the lines it's pretty clear they don't want behaviour like this.
This makes the point that reddit is either willful or negligent quite forcefully. Under broad legal doctrine, "ignorance is no excuse" for non-compliance with lawful regulation. So its probably too strong an anology to be relevant. Its pointless to assume innocence or exoneration without more substantial information. Reality is most likely somewhere in the middle.
We're being conservative with the temperature rating for now. The components are rated better than that, but we're still running cycle tests in our temp chamber and waiting to get the system tested by an outside lab.

I think using the word 'mathematical tile' indicates that it is a maths/geek article rather than serious news, and takes this into the safe zone. Just. It's a fine line though.
You might want to add language re battery orientation. It looks like your device doesn't care about up and down. That's a big deal for car people. They pay extra for a 'dry' battery that can be mounted in weird places and angles. And mention venting or lack thereof. That's another sticking point for people shopping for aftermarket batteries.

Also, vibration testing if you have done any. Custom cars and offroad machines shake. Nobody wants a battery with internals that look like they might break loose.

If you really want to sell a premium battery, create a motorcycle model. Sportbike owners are really into weight reductions and eat through batteries. It might as simple as a smaller plastic shell.

Cool, it works quite well. Get the feeling it's being hammered though, with 500ms GETs in the UK for a Dutch site (would expect 40ms) and 24000ms pageloads (onready; simulated browser; costs quite a few resources). It randomly works well though, giving accurate results I mean. Overall they seem representative.

What I found very interesting is the dns test. My personal blog loads in just over a second in south america (hosted at home in the Netherlands), makes sense. DNS however is as fast in south America as here! I guess someone visited the site and it got cached. Other places, e.g. India, gave normal results (i.e. what you'd expect, limited by the speed of light), no recent visitors there I guess.
All of the people criticizing homeschooling on the basis of socialization seem to advocate the "throw them in the water and let them learn how to swim" methodology.

I have to ask though what is the real advantage of this? With home schooling you can teach a child tools that help them navigate society. Give them some fundamental sociology, explain why certain kids their age act a certain way towards them. Let them read books that not only highlight such encounters but explain the multitude of outcomes possible.

With public school in many cases you sink or swim and the result could set you back decades (emotionally and otherwise). Home schooling promises a baseline of support. Maybe it wont breed the greatest multi-cultural prodigies or tortured artists but it will keep the most susceptible from disappearing into an educational gutter.

I say this as someone who attended a public high school with metal detectors and an enrollment of 3,000.

This is a crucial observation.

"Hofstadter's Law" at work: any unfamiliar task will take longer than planned, no matter how much extra time there is the plan. You can't account for your ignorance with padding, you need some kind of actual knowledge.

The result, then, is that there are only a few ways to actual make an AAA game. One is to hire some quorum of people who've already made one, so that they can bring you up to speed. The other is to do enough proofs of concept that you can see the problems coming.

It looks like Woolfe went from some mobile, educational games to a AAA PC title. That, it seems, was too big a gap to predict and prepare for the hurdles they would face.
