One of my friends has had enough with little girls talking about Frozen. If I'm describing something with that word (as in, describing the icy nature of something), he will scream "ELSA IS THE DEVIL'S WHORRREEEE!". This behavior is well known among our friends and has been exploited countless times.
How long a dam lasts and how long the reservoir behind it is usable are two different things. A well constructed dam may last 100+ years but if the water flowing into the lake carries heavy sediment loads, the lake will fill up with mud before then if not periodically drained and the muck removed. This is definitely an issue with Three Gorges as well as Lake Powell/Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River. In fact, one of the reasons the latter dam was constructed was to act as a catch basin so the downstream Lake Mead behind Hoover dam wouldn't fill so quickly.
Minor nitpick. Technically, this:

#(->> % (drop 3) (filter p) (take 5))

Is equivalent to:

take 5 . filter p . drop 3

It sounds like your friend is identifying that thought as being inseparable from him/herself. I think one of the strengths of mindfulness is to slowly come to the realization that your thoughts are not you. They are just thoughts. We humans are designed to secrete thoughts thousands of times per day. Some are weird and scary, some are beautiful, but none of them have to identify 'us'.
Some advantages: https://blogs.oracle.com/craigmcc/entry/why_hateoas

But what I really see as the main advantage is the decoupling of server and UI, kind of like Android Intents on steroids. By using standard formats and dynamic routes between them, the user is no longer tied to a silo with a window through which they can interact with their data; they can know use his own chosen software to handle the different types of information, jumping through them as needed, without ever being locked-in to a particular provider.

And for the developers, why are we building the same crap again and again using the API du-jure, when 90% of it uses the same concepts as existing software? Why do we need thousands of libraries and middleware that provides a "single API to many services"? We spend so much effort building these rickety integrations, just because the providers insist on using different names for the same things.

Doesn't it abhor you, the waste of it all?

I'm confused by the last example. There are no elements greater than 5 in the list (1 2 3 4).

Also, I'm not sure why they used takewhile instead of filter in the last haskell part.
When major players are consolidating (CMA CGM and NOL, Cosco and CSCL) it makes no sense to have a four ship fleet.

Any company could easily accommodate their needs (refer capacity, cranes, etc)even cheaper given the fact that right now the dry and container market is at the lowest point ever.

This is the era to charter a vessel and not own one.
That wouldn't be the same. The point was filtering a list (which could contain anything, not just a sequence from 1 to 4).

The example seems a bit strange to me. Why does it have the check for i being less than 5, when the problem is "get all elements _greater_ than 5, then just the even ones of that set.". Was it supposed to be "remove all elements greater than 5..."? (edit: although the code would then only work for sorted lists; I think it'd be better to just loop over the whole list and have "(and (< i 5) (evenp i))" as the condition for collecting)

Touching and funny. When done right, the two aren't mutually exclusive, but it's hard to get the balance right.
Haskell has strong typing and lazy evaluation, which makes it easy for functions to take only one argument at a time. Although a function could take a tuple parameter, it's usually rewritten to take each component of the tuple as a separate parameter, which makes the strong typing and built-in currying simple, higher structures like monads possible, and a syntax to suit this style. Lisp functions and macros OTOH must be variadic to enable the homoiconicity of the language. It's therefore much more difficult for parameters to be typed, or to curry them.

These two styles make Haskell and Lisp mutually incompatible, unless they use clunky addons like Template Haskell macros or Typed Clojure annotations. The pure form of each language, however, is based on two mutually exclusive foundations, i.e. strongly typed auto-curried parameters vs variadic untyped macro parameters. The poster child of each language, i.e. monads and macros, thus also don't mix well with each other.

Bottom-line, 13 degrees centigrade is what you're aiming for along with 50 m3/h of airflow (50 cfm in US units.) Airflow because bananas ripen in the presence of ethylene and ripening bananas release ethylene. That's the reason putting bananas in a paper bag ripens them faster.

There is a chance to do with flying cars what we couldn't do with regular cars: force them to be fully autonomous by default. No safe automation, no permit. This would likely mean forcing them to use some sort of target "airparks" for takeoff and landing, at least initially, but it would drastically reduce the chance of accidents.

>Working backwards from the current state of the Universe, scientists have theorized that it must have originated at a single point of infinite density and finite time that began to expand

Logically, it doesn't make sense to me how something could be described as infinite (density) and finite (time) at the same time.

Furthermore, the article states:

>However, the earliest times of the Universe – lasting from approximately 10-43 to 10-11 seconds after the Big Bang – are the subject of extensive speculation. Given that the laws of physics as we know them could not have existed at this time, it is difficult to fathom how the Universe could have been governed. What's more, experiments that can create the kinds of energies involved have not yet been conducted.

How can they even speculate that time existed at that point? If time is relative to motion, and the universe was a singularity, then time could not be said to exist because there is no relative motion if all that exists is a singularity.

It's pointless because we spend billions of dollars and compromise our own morality (see: all the killers they let walk) to put away one group, only to watch another group immediately spring up and be just as bad, if not worse. And this isn't a new trend, but a multi-decade pattern at this point. And all of this - the violence, the retribution, the lives ruined, the money thrown away, multiple countries turned into war zones - is a result of our insane drug laws. It didn't have to be like this, but we made it this way.

And calculated violence is violence used to make a point. The guy they beat to death until his body was "like a bag of ice" was killed to stop his investigations, but also to scare off other investigators.

> but given what we know about the importance of genetics in passing along favourable human capital characteristics

I don't think we know that at all, and as an assumption it is a terrible one. If it is wrong (and we have no reason to assume it is correct, at least not to a very high degree), you are deciding to give up on a lot of people. You're basically guessing that the poor are where they belong and as a consequence of that guess, you make no effort to help them. Moreover, even if that assumption is right, so what? Even if people are born less capable of riches, that does not mean we shouldn't do our best to help them achieve moderate levels of success, or at least to better their lot in life. This isn't all altruistic: a more egalitarian society is a more pleasant one.

In the end, it all comes to values. But I want to clarify what those values signify: financial success isn't just about how much stuff you can buy, but more importantly about power[1]. The less money you have relative to the median, the less power, and the less power you have -- the less freedom. Giving up on power equality means giving up on greater freedom to great many people.

> it seems very reasonable that we would see less than "perfect" mobility.

There's a very long way from where the US is now to perfect mobility. Americans can start with striving for European levels of mobility for a start. We know that at least that is possible.

namely expense sharing as long as the pilot is paying his fair share of the flight expenses

That's not compensation. What he is talking about is two pilots, usually broke pilot students at the same FOB, who have their PPL but need hours for their CFI, IFR or some other type rating. So they share gas and then do different legs as pilot in command, it's cheaper, you get your hours and have some company. I can tell you from first hand experience, solo cross-country, is boring as hell. I even did it before GPS was a thing and you have to do IFR landmark based nav - still boring.

If you mention to your coworkers that you are renting a Cessna to fly to some specific place to visit family over the holidays and a co-worker says they want to go there too the FAA would have no problem with you taking them with you and having them pay their share of the expenses.

It's been a while since I flew, but that was definitely one of the things that was drilled into me as "not legal" behavior for a non-commercial pilot. Your scenarios would bust all 4 common carriage rules. "Goodwill (dropping off clients) is not bona fide purpose (likely is compensation)[1]."

How I started to come out of the dark, one thought at a time
Hi Guys,
I built Paralign based on my own journey and how I started to really improve my life one thought at a time.
Paralign is an anonymous journaling platform that connects you to similar thoughts as you journal; Letting you know that there is support, acknowledgement and hope. That you are not alone. Paralign gives you feedback about your thought and mood patterns and helps you be more aware. Paralign’s companion feature personalizes guides (like guided meditation) to empower you to live a more relaxed and inner-connected life.

So we have a 12 year old company here, developing a machine to test blood (which is altered for testing), has only received approval for one test, which is now being doubted again, has repeatedly lied about their technology and capability.

I don't give one sordid fuck about Holmes, let's talk about Theranos. How is this a successful business in ANY capacity? Has it made a DIME that didn't come from an investor? Does it have ANY reputation that doesn't involve a spunky CEO?
Maybe someone can enlighten me on this:

Is it that space and time start at the big bang, or is it that all the mass/energy was in a little point and has since expanded?

When we talk about the size of the universe, do we mean that's the limits of where stuff is, or do we mean that's the limit of where stuff can be?
LinkedIn is a great resource for connecting with people. You could probably make some inference based on where they went to school, Coursera courses they posted, certificates they took, etc.
Excellent response. I went back to university for fun recently at a major research institution. I found that the administration wanted more money, and professors wanted to teach less and research more. Students bristled at the belief that a professors primary job is not to teach, but to research, while the administration continued to raise prices, and add pointless classes; do we REALLY need a 4 hour taught by a GTA lab twice a week on research methods in psychology?
That $100 hamburger reference is completely unrelated.

Right, I know. I was trying to introduce the concept to a group of people who had probably never heard of it - while also showing that it's a real thing that a group of pilots get together just to fly somewhere.
250h is not a lot of time for a CPL. You only need 40 for a PPL. Once you have a PPL, you're really only talking about another $27,000 or so in rentals, plus the check ride.

My current instructor had almost 100 hours of solo time before he went for his PPL check ride, specifically because he understood how dangerous it was, and he wanted to know he was ready before bringing his friends up in the air.

If you want to make the argument that the FAA should revisit the Part 119 Air Carrier Certificate requirement for CPLs, I don't see a problem with that, but I do see a lot of issues with letting a 60-hour PPL fly a family of three across the country.

I drive past Folsom dam (1952) every day and have watched the incremental maintenance as well as a few large scale projects progress first hand. One of the most amazing things to witness was the construction of the spillway they have been building around the outer perimeter. They essentially are creating a second dam around the main dam to release water from a lower point due to a scare many years ago. Months of sorting dirt and rock at some kind of large facility nearby and a good year of constant trucks moving the dirt down the road. Even the asphalt on the road began to sink from the constant pressure of the heavy loads.

A few of the old spillway gate failures over the years are outlined here:

Oh no, I agree with your point, too. But I think they are related -- even if there's no reason not to put the full help-text in a here-document (or an actual file, as long as the expected usage is to git clone first - the python code and the shell script could use the same help-text) -- I see few people/projects providing real help texts in their shell scripts.

Generally, people are very sloppy with handling arguments to shell scripts (probably because it requires a bit of boilerplate). But a nice '-h|--help' and maybe '-n|--dry-run' would be good to have.

I talked about c#'s lambda syntax, which Java later borrowed, below. For the other points:

I have seen a little of the interface vs function conversions in modern Java, and it seems a decent enough small convenient feature in the context of Java, but it doesn't feel like a big win that I would cry out for in C# code.

Defaulting to not-null and immutable values is a trend in several recent languages, e.g. from Swift and Rust to F#. This IMHO looks like a good step forward and I welcome it, however it's hard to see how this would be comprehensively added into existing languages like Java or C# with an existing legacy of not working that way. Opting into Not-null in c# has been talked about many times (1) in various forms, even implemented using attributes (similar enough to type annotations). (2)

Because western Buddhism has no moral commitments and that makes it a good fit for postmodern mentality, as in you can do whatever you want as long as you keep the necessary distance. It's a way to get inner peace without having to change anything about your real life behavior and beliefs, you get to have the cake and to eat it too.

You just have to see how most meditation companies sell their product, the first movement is telling you that this is a way to escape modern consumerism, the stress of modern life, a more authentic life. The second movement is telling you that with their help you will be even more productive at the consumerist game. So you get everything, you have to sacrifice nothing.
IMHO whoever wrote this article should change the title to "A philosophical difference between Haskell and Common Lisp". There are a lot of LISPs and not all of them follow Common Lisp's philosophy.
Funny how when I think about Lisp I think about that kind of code, while other people see elisp imperative, autolisp and common-lisp full-featured system.
I hope that this was offered as an example of the sorts of broken thinking that justifies this sort of backdoor that eventually leaks/is discovered by others.

1. Key based backdoors are as good as it gets, but in order to be useful to most large entities, they have to be at least somewhat exposed internally, making them prime targets for leakers.
2. Hackers routinely take over routers. Ask Juniper.
3. Telcos get hacked.
4. Hackers are curious fuckers who are interested in the most obscure things.
5. Also the most impressive boxes, someone will either find a way to emulate it or someone from the team will find it impossible not to build one at home on the weekend
6. See wireshark also the automated protocol dissector research
7. Vendors are owned, hackers get early access too.
I had similar problem, but then I started to look at it from the other way around, and now I am just carrying around a few concepts in my head that I really like, and every time I need to learn new language, I am first looking at how these concepts map:

* data definitions for lists and key/value pairs, and how to nest them, change them, access them

* function and anonymous function definitions

* map, filter, reduce/fold over lists and key/value pairs

* api to communicate with world that uses tasks/promises

This way, my code looks familiar and similar regardless if I write it in C#, Javascript, Java, or Clojure.

Main drawback is, that this limits my comfort zone to languages that have at least lambdas and closures.
The problem is that our weaknesses are also our strengths, just in different contexts. Efficient heuristic formation is an amazing strength in many contexts, but it's also the same system that leads to racism, stereotyping etc...

I have come to the conclusion that you really can't "shore up" human weaknesses without chemical changes or maybe some kind of tDCS type system. Even then, there seem to be some major tradeoffs.

It seems the easier (older) the video codec format the bigger is the file but also the less CPU/GPU resources are required to play them.

Remember Windows 95 played AVI videos e.g. in the file copying dialog. The AVI video consisted as a series of BMP pictures. All magenta colored areas where interpreted as transparent. (info about the special bitmap based AVI format: http://www.endurasoft.com/techtalk/AVI.aspx ) A 486 66 MHz with 4MB memory could play that short small videos. The Win95 CD contained two movie trailers afaik with an early Intel video codec, it took a more powerful Pentium 1 CPU to play them at 320x200 (Intel Indeo codec: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indeo ).

Coming back to GIFs and MP4/HTML5 videos. GIF is an old format from ca 1989, showing them is less CPU intensive than playing MP4 videos. Firefox on PC and all mobile browsers on iPad and Android that I tried had serious performance issues with 100+ very small videos. Interesting that GIFs mobile devices with even just 512MB memory can show at least 100 GIF videos (each 5-15 MB filesize) on one page.
Common Lisp isn't technically focused on lists as you imply. There are plenty of libraries which provide "sequence abstractions" if that's what you need. Common Lisp provides structs, arrays, and even a hash table implementation. The methods of abstraction are transparent in Lisp.
