Aesthetics is one possibility. When someone straitens a picture frame they don't need that to last past the heat death of the universe for it to be worth it. Expanding this to say a painting or poem which also has a finite lifespan and you can even learn to appreciate a Mandala. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandala

Keep going in that direction and a life well lived is it's own reward. And by well lived I mean occasional cliff diving not devoting oneself to charitable giving.

There is a lot of pressure for 'success' but I suspect many people are happier with a career in dog grooming than they would be as CEO of IBM. High status can be fun, or endless drudgery.
Valid point. But apps too can have non-obvious backdoors that don't require updating the new version. If you don't have source code and reproducible builds, you are already fully trusting the server.
> You said if I continue I need to GTFO.

I said,

> I'm growing convinced that you're not engaging in good faith anywhere in this thread. And if this is going to be regular practice, please GTFO of the Haskell community.

As I wrote it, the (now italicized) "this" was definitely meant to refer to the just mentioned "not engaging in good faith", not to your behavior whatever it may be. This was less clear than I'd meant it to be, although I still think my intended interpretation is favored.
That's not always true - many businesses make a lot of money with a core product in Group 1.

Group 2 is only necessary for certain companies, where leveraging technical advantages is core for the business. Most startups are not this, though being one maybe helps a startup's chances of success.

Publication bias is a substantially more descriptive and accurate phrase. Even when you do submit studies with negative results for publication, many journals simply will not accept them. Little to do with file drawers and much to do with editors.

That said, power and experimental design -- can we confidently reject the hypothesis that an effect size of at least X is present between groups A and B (or models A and B) at some specified error bound? -- cannot be ignored. Bayesian or frequentist, at some point you have to conclude the experiment or write an interim report, and this involves making a decision in the face of uncertainty.

Being a statistician means never having to say you're certain. It also means never being able to do so (unless you're an irresponsible asshole). You can declare a decision boundary and, based on that, evaluate the evidence. In light of this, it is important that negative studies not have inferior designs or sample sizes to the positive studies, and vice versa.

In humans, it is exceedingly difficult to control for all of the factors you might want to. Nevertheless, the tendency of journals and PR outlets to favor sexy outliers over the weight of evidence is a huge source of this bias, which cannot be solely ascribed to unwillingness of researchers to submit the works for publication. (It is also why preprints are so valuable and their uptake so important.)
That depends. If your end goal is merely happiness then no, as long as you can still find a way to motivate yourself to eat, get enough physical activity to stay alive and provide yourself at least basic shelter and essentials.

If your end goal isn't happiness but fulfillment or meaning or something else that will also trigger happiness then there's an excellent argument against doing that, since it will eventually become all you do or care about.
> Please correct me if I am wrong, but for any large project, Haskell actually adds more woes (e.g. laziness induced problems, no good debugging support) than the ones it addresses.

If you want to make a blanket assertion like that, then the onus is on you to provide some evidence of it. The fact that a strict dialect of Haskell exists somewhere in the world and is being used for application X is interesting, but it does not support your claim about Haskell's viability as a general-purpose language.

Its a town of 100,000+ people with a 6% unemployment rate and a $40,000 gdp per capita. While certainly those extra jobs are nice and that economy is nothing to brag about, I doubt they're making some economy changing effect you seem to be suggesting they are.

For comparison, blacks on Chicago's south side have a 25% unemployment rate and a median income sometimes far below average. A south side neighborhood called Armour Square has a $10,000 median household income. That's $28 a day in income.
Why would I care what T-Shirt a person wears?

Being easily manipulated is not a virtue or positive trait. It's not going to help you with natural selection. People who get offended by things other people say or by the clothing they wear are taking the wrong path in life.
Plenty of animals eat grains, but grains aren't available year-round. Grain, and seeds in general, are more nutrient-dense than the stalks and leaves of the plant they come from, but are only available for a short period. Animals which subsist on them must either be highly mobile, to reach many different types of plants which flower and produce seed at different times of the year, or they must be able to store the seeds until they become available again.

A cow eats the grain along with the rest of the grass, but if it tried to live on seeds alone it would be a pretty thin cow.

Actually, for Switzerland, Swiss labs cannot apply to all EU research grants now. And I think it's a temporary agreement, which may well be scraped quite soon, if Switzerland really implements the controls on immigration. See https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jul/03/eu-swiss-singl... EPFL did not seem and does not seem so happy about the situation.

> The only thing that has changed that the money that formerly took a detour to EU now goes directly from the Swiss government to the Swiss labs.

Switzerland labs are actually performing very well, and get more money from the EU research budget than what Switzerland gives to the EU budget (net gain of CHF 219 millions according to http://www.sbfi.admin.ch/aktuell/medien/00483/00586/index.ht... )

Yes, you can collaborate without a specific grant, but in my experience, it makes the collaboration easier.

I think it at least partially correlates with knowing what the new role is worth, financially, to you and to the employer. Nobody's going to disclose what the current executive in that role makes but once you get to that level you're prepared to ballpark it. And prepared to know what it would take for you to accept it.
It’s Not That Complicated, NYT
Bacteria are minimalist (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092867402...) which tends to amplify the use it or loose it evolutionary principle. There's a certain cost to keeping a "feature" in an organism that small with a high rate of mutation and adaptability.

"Strains of bacterial pathogens that have acquired mutations conferring antibiotic resistance often have a lower growth rate and are less invasive or transmissible initially than their susceptible counterparts." http://aac.asm.org/content/54/5/2085.full

If evolutionary logic holds (and there's little doubt about that, though research on the rate of resistance lose with time varies), switching to new classes of antibiotics and not using old ones until resistance to them de-evolves is a viable strategy.

I think by default servo does put the cache in the dir. So yeah, this would be an accurate estimate.

Though not all that rust code is written specifically for servo, and a lot of that C/++ code is winapi and skia. winapi is autogenerated, and skia isn't used by default anymore iirc.

I would assume a bunch of the battery usage would be from take off. You'd think they could design a system like a rocket launch with a "staged" plane launch, where the batteries used for take off would then be jettisoned to land safely back at the airport for re-use.
The UK is not being punished by the EU. The UK punched itself a bloody nose and a few teeth out before jumping into the horse trading, shark pool that is international diplomacy.

There are lots of small favours that the UK will now need to hand out to get what it wants from EEA member states. These favours will cost. Its loosing a institute or a foundation there.

Its clear that the UK benefited a lot economically from being in the single market and regaining access under new agreements is going to be costly. That is not punishment. That is the real world, the UK ate its cake no one is going to give it a new one for free.

I really don’t mind the brexit voters, them I understand. I can’t understand how a conservative party launched itself in the most revolutionary course imaginable over internal politics. Not just reversing 40 years of slow progress in one direction but burning it all down to the ground. Over a very badly phrased referendum.

I'd recommend watching this documentary on the NHS if you can spare the time:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ultKvnw2h3Q

It covers, amongst other things, how public services are mismanaged on purpose to make privatisation seem like progress. One of the sources of information it touches on is a book by the Conservative MP Oliver Letwin that lays out the approach taken for privitising public services, so it's not some form of conspiracy theory, the book is publicly available.

Gobolinux still exist.

What it does is put the output of a "make install" or similar into its own name/version branch in the directory tree, and then use symlinks to place those files within a traditional FHS for backwards compatibility.

As with any small distro is has a problem with manpower, especially as certain parties involved with big name distros are hell bent on rebuilding everything around their vision of the Linux desktop.

I think the current maintainer is aiming at getting a new release out "soon", and was looking into providing a tool that could build an ad hoc "jail" for a program and its specific tree of dependencies.

There seems to be a thing on the internet where nobody can take things simply. They have to make them epic. "Learn to code" becomes "become a master coder" and "learn to cook" becomes "become a chef". Unless they're writing it themselves, and then they think everyone else should understand what they meant.

I see "learn to code" as the same type of learning as math and reading. The basics really are basic, and just require a very literal and explicit thought pattern that isn't always taught in school.

Not everyone is going to be good at it, and that's okay. But they should be introduced to it and learn the basics anyhow.

The problem is that no one gets any decent data out of that harm. The benefit is pretty minimal compared to the societal cost of potential harm. We can even ignore the personal costs completely and just focus on the societal costs of these people harming themselves and no longer being productive and instead being a burden, it still seems like a poor trade-off.

So, if you are going to self-experiment, please take copious, detailed and careful notes, video and pictures I guess.

Ask HN: Is TypeScript really that productive?
Been using TypeScript for a while now. While the concept is excellent, the implementation in various IDEs and release process seems very much to work against really getting work done.

On my machine, the tsc compiler seems to use a different version from the one in VS Code, because I see highlighted errors in the editor that do no show up when I actually compile, and vice versa. I cant even find an easy way to know the version of TS that the VS Code editor is using.

Also, there seems to be a thousand different ways to reference and/or import other modules, and they vary with each version, such that I'm never sure. Implicit referencing sometimes works, sometimes does not.

Why Typescript can only compile .ts files is beyond me.

As usual, Microsoft is long on ideas, and short on execution. Until they fix the tooling issues, I think I will just say no.
Interesting, thank you for the information!
I think a big portion of those people come from the fact that it's essentially impossible to verify what each and every piece of telemetry does. And ultimately, you as a user don't directly gain anything from enabling it / leaving it enabled, so it's perfectly reasonable to stay ignorant in this case.
It's like saying that it's all just pixels, therefore these words you read don't have any meaning.

From Wikipedia:

> Artificially constructed plasmids may be used as vectors in genetic engineering. These plasmids serve as important tools in genetics and biotechnology labs, where they are commonly used to clone and amplify (make many copies of) or express particular genes.[12] A wide variety of plasmids are commercially available for such uses. The gene to be replicated is normally inserted into a plasmid that typically contains a number of features for their use. These include a gene that confers resistance to particular antibiotics (ampicillin is most frequently used for bacterial strains), an origin of replication to allow the bacterial cells to replicate the plasmid DNA, and a suitable site for cloning.

Proprietary software can be that way via unavailable source code and/or DRM without any government monopoly. So, legal elimination of proprietary software would require abolishing copyright and patent laws and mandating source release for published works along with prohibition of DRM.

Your comment first says that Mozilla, Google, Microsoft, and Apple control the web and then says actually people control it by which browsers they use.

Truth is it's a mix. Mozilla, Google, Microsoft and Apple are corporations of people who's influence is small and meaningful just like yours or mine.

When I read this article it seemed to suggest that the W3C is not fitting within this mostly open society.

History has shown us that DRM benefits only the largest richest and most single-minded corporations, and usually at some detriment to the user.

I'm an Atlassian engineer & heavy Aerobatic user. It's very nicely integrated with Bitbucket, and has great support for Jekyll, Hugo, and arbitrary npm builds. It also has some advantages over github.io like being able to deploy multiple feature branches from the same repository to separate sites, so you can have separate "staging" and "production" versions.

It is a paid offering, though you get two repositories free, and is very pretty reasonably priced beyond that.
Speaking entirely for myself here as an atheist, I think most of us just want to be left alone to believe what we believe without having religious people constantly approaching us with "Well, you don't know Jesus, that's why you believe X,Y, Z." As if they're somehow certain that a God exists and that we simply aren't enlightened enough to see it.

Philosophy has many different shades and colors (Philosophy of language, science, mathematics), and there is also a "branch" asking questions related to the meaning of life.

I can't tell you where you could/should start, because I feel like I would already influence you too much by taking some sort of choice away from you.

I will link a few essays I could find that are available for free and are not too long. I'm already influencing you a little bit by making this selection, but I urge you to do your own research: If you like one of the stories, try to find out who was influenced by whom (e.g. Kafka doesn't directly address meaning but influenced Camus; Nietzsche was influenced by Schopenhauer), and consider reading things challenging the author.
