Most production studios are owned by the networks. Media is a very incestuous business where a group of 7-10 companies own nearly the entire industry. They get away with it because nobody usually owns more than 10-20% of any single company in the next level of the chain. So a production company may be owned by 6 different networks, all of whom bid on which shows they want to pick up for distribution. But in the end, all the money flows to the same people, and the relationships between producers and distributors are where the value in the industry is.

Whoever runs the money today (the networks) will continue to do so in the future, because they own the entire supply chain. The people who make a living funding TV shows today will continue to do so regardless of the distribution channel. It's all a shell game :)

> If you know such a function to be pure, you can use unsafePerformIO to tell the type system

Better yet, if you know it to be pure, you can give it an appropriate type and just use it in pure code, like:

pure native cos java.lang.Math.cos :: Double -> Double

which should be roughly equivalent to:

foreign import jvm "java.lang.Math.cos" cos :: Double -> Double

except that no Haskell compiler that I know implements the "jvm" calling convention, for obvious reasons.

In fact, all primitive operations, types and so on are defined this way in the Frege Prelude.

> Do you not get bail money back when your presence in court is concluded?

If you post the full bail yourself, yes, but he said he'd paid a bail bond. If you can't post the full bail yourself (say, it's $30k) then you go to a bail bondsman and they pay the full bail for you - in exchange for a fee, usually 10% of your bail. That fee is non-refundable.

Then if you skip out while you're on bail, they come find you and drag you back to court to get their money back.

Aside from the awesome writeup that Hector provided, I just wanted to call this out:

> It works great as a fast way to get your app up and running

It's a really neat and useful tool for prototyping. Obviously as you start to get more and more business logic that should be in your backend, you may want to migrate to your own backend, but if all you need is a simple key:value store, it's great. Heck, it even does files, auth, email, etc. You can take a prototype pretty far before reaching the edge of its usefulness.

Browser works fine, it only is an issue with his site. Firefox 40.
Laws vary by state but basically it amounts to: Bail was too expensive/risky so he paid a fee to a bondsman to get him out. A bond is a guarantee provided by a third party, the bondsman, that you will appear in court. It is usually some fraction of your actual bail, like 10%. So if we assume 10% and $3,000 paid to the bondsman, then his bail was probably $30,000. If that's correct then GP's alternative would have been to post $30k with the police until the conclusion of his/her case.

It is an FFI, though with different syntax, and much richer. Not only functions, but also foreign (in Frege its called "native") types. Which is indispensable IMHO when you interface a OO language where everything is classes and interfaces.

The different syntax should not be a big issue, as Haskell code that uses FFI targeting C is per se not portable.

If you get a bail bond, you pay the bondsman 10% of the total amount, and they front the entire bail amount. When you show up for court, they get the full amount.

The 10% you paid ($3,000 in this case) is basically a vig for the service the bondsman provides in fronting the money.

Well, you would split it up a bit, rather than bulldozing an ecology the size of Spain. Would probably be quicker to roll out than the space based version and there are grid scale storage technologies available which might be relatively expensive, but are still orders of magnitude cheaper than solving the same problem by going into orbit. In the long run I think orbital solar looks promising, but there is a lot more work left to do there than with implementing it at ground level.
To what end though? Housing prices are just a bidding war to allocate desirable real estate. More and more wealth becomes trapped in real estate.

It's an effective market-based method for allocating scarce resources- a classic tactic. But I'm beginning to wonder.

America's real estate is worth ~$25T. Suppose property was simply assigned. An unfair system, probably vulnerable to corruption and nepotism and such, but on the other hand that's $25T that can be invested in other pursuits. What might that additional liquid $25T do for us?

A gross oversimplification to be sure, and perhaps completely wrong-headed. But it seems like the key difference from many other bidding wars is the money doesn't leave the system. When I sell my house, I probably take the proceeds to buy another house. The seller of that house takes his proceeds, to buy another house, and so on. It seems rare that anyone downsizes houses, and takes the proceeds out of the market.

If I were to post the actual full bail ~33,000 myself -- I "get it back" - but it is legal for them to keep the full bail amount 1 Year Plus 1 Day before they return it to me...

Using a bail bondsman I pay some fee (could be negotiated) but in my case was 10%

Since I paid the bail bondsman to post a 33,000 bond on my behalf - I pay him 3,300 up front. I do not get this back - regardless of the outcome of the case... however if I resolve it at the arraignment they refund ~10% at some ambiguous future date.

I should be able to bill the city for this given they had no charges and no evidence.
LucasArts used to be a very well known game developer studio. Many of the early star wars games were very well received and highly innovative. Star Wars: Tie Fighter is consistently considered one of the best games of all time. They also released one of the earliest games to make use of a dedicated GPU in PCs. Over time, the quality dropped off and left many fans disappointed.

There were still a few gems after 2000, e.g. Knight of the Old Republic and Battlefield. However, the sequel to KotOR was released unfinished. This era seems to be filled with collaborations where other companies performed much of the work. I suspect using external resources caused a drop in in-house talent and ultimately left the studio unable to compete against newer and more ambitious studios.

I hope this marks a return of an innovative and competitive LucasArts. It would be wonderful to have the same level of early innovation back and associated with the star wars brand.

Yep, exactly. Also it's nice to have the extra privacy, especially when linking to images privately amongst friends
A friend of mine has a little dev shop. Some of is customers are private, and some are government agencies.

The private customers use modern agile techniques. They have modern clouds with modern provisioning systems. Their managers get back quickly about changes, and their IT guys set up new servers quickly. The pay x per hour.

The public agencies have old school bureaucratic management. They are slow to respond with feedback. Their IT guys have a 6 month lead time to install Windows XP (yes in 2015), and when the lead time is up, they still haven't done it so my friend has to show up there and do it for them. They pay 3x per hour.

Productivity is not really a factor. Nobody doing the government job could ever in a million years be more productive than the other job, even though any dev could do either job. There's no queue of people for either of these types of jobs.
> stay on XP and just replace parts (hard drive, monitor, etc.) as they break. Which may not be the smartest thing in the long run.

Aye, there's the rub.

Based on enterprise-class calculations (staff time etc), the cost of keeping an old XP PC running is dramatically higher than replacing it. You can get a tiny desktop with 4GB and a 1TB drive for less than $300, and cut your electricity bill as well.

In accounting terms, you may also save money by reducing reboots and fast start-up times, esp with UEFI. Whether Gartner averages apply in a specific case is, of course, an entirely different matter.

And, of course, if you've got a hardware lock-in that's no help at all ;-)

No I think almost all Scala programmers understand the basics of FP.

They just don't understand / have much interest in the intermediate/advanced parts. I've seen lots of beginners take to for comprehensions, maps, filters etc pretty quickly.

The problem with Scala is that at an advanced level the code can become pretty unreadable.

"Large scale services" is a subjective number. If every request is 'heavy' at the backend the N of N req/s is lower. Lighter static content serving backends have a much higher N. Therefore, the engineering that goes behind optimizing these is different. IMHO, the N is not everything there is to a devOps engineer. In practical experience- a backend service i worked with had just 30 req/s at the front layer servers but generated 60M logs per day. As the logging guy i got to brag about larger Ns, while the front-layer work was more challenging.

1. Your 100 users/min may also be put across as 300 req/min.

2. Try startups that are going from 10 req/s to 100 req/s rather than directly approaching large, massively distributed backends.

3. To seriously qualify for these you also need the skill sets. Experience with centralized logging, multi area-zone data-centers, deploying at scale, configuration management, advanced version control workflows, deeper understanding of protocols, caching, awareness of security pitfalls, knowledge of GNU/Linux internals etc will certainly help.

4. Even in the absence of much production experience, you can significantly lower their concerns by demonstrating working knowlege in multiple of these above mentioned skill sets.

Also, take a look at https://github.com/cjbarber/ToolsOfTheTrade.
Your conspiratorial argument is that they're holding off higher capacity consumer drives (note that in the Enterprise market you have been able to get multi-TB solutions for years) for some reason, but that the existing options are too expensive. This is a very entitled argument where your core complaint is that you can't have difficult, expensive technology for cheap.
I'm not sure if you are talking from a performance perspective or a conceptual perspective, but this provides a useful discussion on multiple assertions:

http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/7823/is-it-ok...

My 2 cents is that multiple assertions are legitimate, as long as they prove a singluar assumption. Hence (as per the test on that page), this is a valid use of multiple assertions:

[Test]
public void ValueIsInRange()
{
int value = GetValueToTest();

Assert.That(value, Is.GreaterThan(10), "value is too small");
Assert.That(value, Is.LessThan(100), "value is too large");
}
To be fair, I'd hardly say that not knowing what a monad is = not knowing anything about FP.

Thank you for this - I will look into it.
One particular "annoying" feature of Scala is the Java interoperability. It's obviously great because you have a large quantity of tools usable from the Java world, but it leads to large quantities of time spent wrapping them into clean Scala interfaces (or dealing with unmelodious APIs, pick your curse).

I would love if I could avoid this with Fredge. But, in the end, I would probably be better off using Haskell directly.
The server has to compare the signature of the sound recorded by your computer to the signature of the sound recorded by your phone. The sounds will not be identical, so the signature comparison has to be able to detect whether two sound recordings are sufficiently similar. It can't use, for example, SHA1 hashes for this purpose.
That string interpolation was one of my least favorite things about Perl. We tended to have "$"s in strings just because of the usecase, and I was so afraid of that accidentally being interpolated that I never used double quotes, and instead used single quotes. Single quotes in Perl don't interpolate \n, so this "feature" made me write more code rather than less.
This just sounds like whining about having to write an implementation from scratch.
If a slightly different sound resulted in an entirely different signature, the system would be useless for comparing recordings of ambient noise, which will never be identical. You've taken the analogy with hashing too far.
Moderation on HN seems to be far less arbitrary than it was a couple years go, but is still to opaque. It doesn't feel like it's really the readers who are in control, still.

> This would mean using a hash set would be out of the question _for passing around outside of an ST monad_ but you could actually use it internally within functions.

Yes, but this is what the author was saying: you end up writing your code in ST. Remeber, there is no (general) way to freeze a mutable collection that was passed and then use it as if it was immutable. There can be a dozen different threads be busy modifying it.

However, as immutable objects are becoming more mainstream even in Java, there will still plenty of opportunities to make polyglot JVM programs employing pure code. Just not with the JAVA collection classes.
