Equality, like copying, is often more complicated than that. You often run into a problem where you need a domain-specific equality function for your objects.

Which is not to say that automatic derivation of generic functions is not useful, but it's not really a game changer.

That's wildly incorrect. "One commit per logical change" would mean that every single file modified in this way should have been in a single commit. By your logic, you could never have two files changes in the same commit.
i don't agree that CLR vs .NET versions are confusing. .NET is the CLR plus a pile of libraries. The CLR moves slowly, the non-clr parts of .NET iterate faster. I rarely even think about the CLR version at all. It was a minor consideration 10 years ago when CLR 1->2, but even then it was somewhat of a theoretical point that was basically handled by the version of .NET you targeted.

I can understand that for someone has no background or long term use of chmod(1) would need some effort to decipher what 0644 actually means. However, for people who are well versed in this aspect, the numerical code is much easier to parse.

This reminds me of constantly looking up j dict [0] before I could remember what each number means. J's foreign conjunction is certainly an extreme here, but it teaches me that what is easy to parse really depends on one's proficiency in the language.

The bias is a fair point, but it still goes to show that arguments for not incriminating do exist.
In that case, though, the immutability is a property of the operations rather than the data. And you can have mutating versions of most of those operations that alter the data they are working on, e.g. a mutating map.

I would argue the same way from experience. Functional programming languages tend to provide an abstraction that you could have easily built yourself by focusing on the constraints that are relevant to you - not those constraints some language theoretician has decided for you.

Don't dating sites, or merely texting for a while before a date mitigate some of that feeling? The parties involved can narrow down a range of activities that they'd like for a first date.

In my circles, a normal first date is somewhere casual in public where you can sit for a while, like a Starbucks or Panera, or equivalent coffeehouse in countries where coffeehouses actually exist. First impressions matter insofar as 10 minutes into the date you start to get an idea whether you and the other person is truly on the same wavelength, and about 30 minutes in, you know for sure.

If it's working, you're connecting with another person, and you can plan something more engaging for the next encounter, and if it didn't work, you're only out the price of a drink. Is it truly a common sentiment that dates are too bothersome to make them worthwhile?
Are you saying that I'm Monday morning quarterbacking? I was trying to ask questions and share possible approaches, without saying anything definitively prescriptive.

A Monday Morning Quarterback doesn't leave a lot of question or uncertainty. That's the kind of the point. They take potshots post facto and frame what "should've" been done as obvious or what happened as ridiculous/blatantly stupid. I don't see how my comment can reasonably be read that way.

I'd ask that you either explain your rude remark in rational terms, or apologize if you don't think you have a great rationale.

As nice as it would be to have a reliable nonlethal alternative to firearms, there simply are no nonlethal weapons capable of stopping someone who is presenting an immediate threat. Tranquilizers and anesthesia are administered by an anesthesiologist, a doctor trained to determine a dosage based on a person's body mass. Too much of a dose, or even administering it too quickly can cause serious complications, or even death. Even under the controlled environment of an operating room 1/20 patients die under full anesthesia a year.

Sadly, the most reliable method of stopping a person presenting a threat is with a firearm.

I don't know. Is a child under their mother's care considered a hostage in standoff circumstances? I have no idea. And note that my question was on whether it being a hostage situation should affect the policy or not... so I'm open to the possibility that it was, obviously.

Also, you didn't at all address the question about whether it makes sense to stop streamings in the event of a police encounter or not. If not, when shouldn't it be allowed? I think, at least in many states, you do have the right to record police encounters, especially if it's on your own private property or in a public place. But maybe I'm mistaken?

Perhaps you can read more carefully, think more carefully, behave more civilly, and try again.
A [dead] poster commented this, but I think it bears repeating that there is an ACLU app specifically for recording police. [1]

Yeah, most of the newer APIs let you check a flag, the older ones that didn't have permission built into them from the beginning (see: Address Book) need some behavior so old apps don't break though, so returning a "zero" ID seems reasonable.

AFAIK incentivizing permissions is allowed, so yeah, "50 coins for your location" is permissible. Though keep in mind that Apple will reject apps for requesting permissions without any functional need - so if your app isn't actually using the location data (and collecting it purely for ad targeting) it's likely your app will be rejected from the store.

You will have to invent some veneer of an excuse for collecting this user data, though how thin your excuse can be varies depending on Apple's mood.

Show HN: Shameless plug for my IOT dashboard (open source)
>Look at this thread. Its 90% conspiracy theories and axe grinding from things a decade out.

To be fair, M$ earned this.
Hello!

A while ago, I made a simple IOT dashboard in Polymer that relies only on a MQTT broker and I figure that I would share it with you all!

The dashboard displays cards which show you data and/or available controls for your devices. The dashboard connects as a MQTT client along with the other IOT devices so this can be easily added to existing MQTT networks. Cards displayed on the dashboard are defined by the devices themselves. The data flow between the dashboard and the devices is bi-directional so the cards will always reflect the state of the device. Also, as the devices go online/offline the cards will appear and disappear too.

Regarding the modularity of the project, each card is an independent polymer component so that more types of cards can be added to fit your needs. There is a handful of cards I have made to fit basic use cases but feel free to add more!

I hope you like it! Let me know what you all think.

GPG 1.4 didn't eat it. 'pgpdump', fwiw, did.

I have not tested any of the extant proprietary (e.g., MS-Win) PGP clients, quite possibly these items was meant for one such.

Neither I nor - afaik - anybody else, at least publicly, have any notion as to who generated the keys, on what, and for what purpose.
I think you misunderstand me: I'm not trying to say what the police should have done. I'm just saying it's not a hostage situation.

It's also worth thinking about what factors lead someone to become "crazed", and whether killing them is the right way to deal with the problem.
This is especially true when you are reading management books. I always look for some papers from the author on the same topic and substitute them for the books. I wish there is world out there that can reward short form books both fiction and non fiction.

I've known salespeople that will work for straight commission. You may not even need to offer a stake, although that might be a good idea to increase the chances of retention.

I'm a big proponent of bootstrapping, but you may still want to start the process of talking to investors or maybe even a bank. Asking someone to jump from an established ship onto your new ship is a lot easier if you have cash to guarantee them a salary.

Another thing to consider is partnering with a totally different company that sells to the same people. Their salespeople sell your product, and they get gratitude/commission. That doesn't work in all industries of course.
Interesting. You can have the cake and eat it too.

You're not barred from investigating someone or using investigators to do so in a trial, but the prohibition here is about the effect created by the investigation (just like it's the effect of 100 phone calls a day that constitutes stalking, not using the phone itself). Legal proceedings have a well developed decorum/civility to them that the judge can enforce at her discretion, including criminal penalties.

If Uber/Ergo had limited itself to not interviewing the plaintiff's family, friends, and acquaintances, they'd probably have been fine; but going around to everyone you know and asking a lot of dark questions is pretty clearly going to intimidate a plaintiff and chill other potential plaintiffs, and that's obviously the point--especially when interviewing is unlikely to surface anything not already found through records searches and the discovery process.
That seems like a really good suggestion, if it were decided that it's in the public interest not to show some situations live.

It's a big ask to suggest reading through this, but reading http://blog.ploeh.dk starting from around about 2013 is illuminative.

Seemann basically wrote the book on dependency injection in .NET, and has been a pretty big evangelizer for clean object-oriented design. Some time during that year, though, he discovered F#, and from 2014 on his blog has been increasingly about functional rather than object-oriented design. By following the transition you get a pretty good luck at things (ML-style) functional programming does well, since it's basically a journal of a serious expert in object-oriented design learning switching over to the functional paradigm.

We use https://github.com/atward/aws-profile/blob/master/aws-profil... to do pretty much the same thing, although without the $PS1 hacking. Our rule is that a user's default profile should always be the "control account" (on which they have permission to do nothing except STS and AssumeRole), and that they need to use this wrapper and explicitly specify a profile for all "real" API commands. This also works nicely with MFA.

Having this built into TF would be nice, but there are enough tools out there that don't support AWS role-jumping that I suspect we'll end up using that wrapper for a long time.

While there are some costs to switching away from an OS/ecosystem, there's a limit to them, and it's often low enough to be economical for a business to switch or to allow some of its employees to switch (I've seen this with development shops that switch from Windows to mostly Linux with a little OS X).
I think this is a good point. I wonder if livestreams could be enabled but perhaps comments/feedback could be disabled or invisible to the poster. This could also address concerns that external viewers might feed a suspect/perpetrator intel on the police operation which might impinge their efficacy in an already difficult notice.
Yes, exactly. When I hear people brag about how functional languages don't allow side effects, I always wonder, what's to stop you from just writing your program without side effects in an imperative language? And occasionally it will be more natural for your program to have side effects than not.

I have a similar gripe with type systems. Types are restrictive metadata - they never reduce a program's complexity, and sometimes they increase it.
Hmm, if you want people to be able to link to Noms datasets on the web, maybe you should switch to using URLs to name the datasets, instead of a two-part identifier with an URL separated from a dataset name by a "::"? Darcs and Git seem to get by more or less with URLs and relative URLs; do you think that cold work for Noms too?

The super REST harmonious way to do this would be to define a new media-type for Noms databases with a smallish document that links to the component parts. Like torrent files, but using URLs (maybe relative URLs) instead of SHA1 hashes for the components, maybe?
Self-promotion / employment solicitation is generally strongly frowned on. I'm finding your comment relevant and have moderated accordingly. Providing a bit more by way of detail on what you're doing and what specifically you're focusing on would be helpful -- the website's a tad vague on that.

I wrote a comment about this below, but I think its fair to say that pedagogy has been a long standing problem in the functional programming community. A lot of the criticisms leveled at haskell for producing "toy software" are better targeted at the poor pedagogy that has plagued haskell for so long.

I think there's lots of examples of production grade libraries in haskell (stm, async, lens, quickcheck, attoparsec, warp, etc.), some of which are effectively best in class among all languages. Likewise, I think there's a lack of acknowledgement of how many stellar compilers are written in haskell. Rust, Perl 6, Elm, Purescript, etc. were all either initially written in haskell (before they become self-hosting) or continue to be. This shouldn't be downplayed... a compiler is one of the most complicated kinds of software you can write, and writing a compiler in a language shows a lot about that language's versatility (which is why a self-hosted compiler is something of a benchmark).

Lack of good resources for learning haskell for so long have incubated haskell as an "experts" language, particularly experts interested in PLT considering haskell extensions have been used as a PLT research platform. I think this is why you see so much evangelism for the language and relatively little industry use: its generally been inaccessible for people without a background in theory for a long time (and its not per se that the language is inaccessible so much as some of the scary sounding, alien seeming design patterns that are conventionally used). Generally I believe this is getting better, though the situation isn't perfect.

As for evidence that this isn't due to deficiencies in the language, I think its worth considering how many ideas from haskell have percolated to the broader programming language community. Promises in javascript, for example, are effectively monadic (technically they're probably closer to bifunctors, but they're definitely very influenced by monads in haskell). Ad hoc polymorphism is now embraced by languages like C++ and rust. These things don't strictly need pure functions to work in the host language, but they're design ideas and language features that were originally developed to benefit a purely functional style.

Edit: As pointed out below, I'm wrong about rust, it was written in ocaml.

Because the incompetence of municipal governments (in most of the US) is in overbuilding infrastructure to serve unproductive areas so that maintenance obligations come to consume ever larger portions of the budget unless they can achieve the Ponzi scheme of paying for it with the taxes from new growth.
