Is that then a limitation of the language? I've only briefly toyed with Haskell (and most of the time I use PHP, so my opinion is almost moot). But from what you've written, it sounds like it's hard to write Haskell that's expressive for novices and experts at the same time.
"dm-crypt" is the infrastructure in the linux kernel that deals with block device encryption.

TrueCrypt,VeraCrypt,zuluCrypt,tcplay,cryptsetup among others use this infrastructure to do user data encryption/decryption.

What these project do is parse a volume header on a volume to get crypto properties and then pass them to dm-crypt for it to do everything else.

The difference between a TrueCrypt volume,a VeraCrypt volume and a LUKS volume is in how their crypto properties are stored on the header and dm-crypt is not aware of any of these projects.

Once you know crypto properties of a volume,you can skip all these projects and go straight to dm-crypt and manually create the encryption mapper using dmsetup. All the necessary information about an open encryption mapper looks like below:

[root@ink mtz]# dmsetup --showkeys table

Why Are Containers So Disruptive to the Data Centre?
While I see how this at first appears to be a problem (when I started with Haskell I sure thought of it as one), it turns out that language-pragma filled code can be mixed with vanilla code too without problem. The pragmas usually just expose more of the inner representation of GHC (I'm thinking things like FlexibleInstances, TypeApplication, RankNTypes and not the pathologically broken and perhaps logically unsound ImpredicativeTypes). So it really is just GHC you are shipping (and not GHC + which extensions are enabled).

Anti-competitive behavior is not the problem. Whoever owns the cables is going to end up with a monopoly whether or not they take overt action to shut out would-be competitors. What they do once they have that monopoly is the problem. Abusive pricing and poor quality service are the consequences of not being subject to competition or regulation; they're actions that would otherwise be encouraging the entry of new competitors, not discouraging them as the phrase "anti-competitive" implies.

They illustrate it with a picture of a high rise tower. I always thought that in a world of flying cars, people wouldn't try to live in very dense city centers but rather would live in a spacious house with a garden far away as it only takes a 15 min commute to fly 50km at 200km/h. Flying cars pretty much eliminate traffic jams.

Yeah, but that's at the uppermost level. Having more granularity at least for functions in libraries between does nothing/does anything makes a lot of sense, considering the observable actions a function can take are often part of the documentation of an API.

Sounds interesting. A few years back, I wrote down a travel guide app idea here on HN which describes some functionality that might be of interest to you.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7617048

My one fear, as far as what you're describing, is that making every single trip customized would require a lot of your time (assuming you're also managing the business end). But, that being said, it's of course possible to create client types/profiles with the data already plugged in. For ex, "High-end Adventurous" which would then be matched up with the City profile. The initial consult could work in tandem with the "data-driven" side, sort of like how translators use Translation Memory programs to ease the load.

In bocca al lupo, mi sembra un'idea figa.
You can build more granular effect systems on top of IO if you want, and many people have done.
Haha, I once got into a rather frustrating discussion with my partner when discussing the optimal order and partitioning of laundry loads so that we spent the least amount of time babysitting the washer and dryer.

Well there are already several such systems. University provides accreditation or certification via a CISCO or Microsoft style exam.

Your approach has a fundamental problem. Who pays for it? If I pay to take your test and get a poor score then I will simply never tell anyone I took it. If I do great I will boast about it on my CV. In that case I might as well go with a Microsoft/CISCO style certification because it is well known. If the employeer pays for it then I will still need to take five of them as each employeer will want you to take a test.

The problem is that they continue to be pushed out further and further from their jobs every year because cities like Palo Alto keep adding thousands of jobs and almost no housing. That means professionals like me get pushed out of PA, move somewhere cheaper, and end up pushing out people that make less. All of these things are tied together and at the end of the domino what you get is homelessness which we've seen spike in the last 5 years.
A malfunctioning car might endanger its passengers and other people. For that reason, car makers have to get certification for any new model they want to bring to the market and later modifications have to be done with either parts certified for that car or new certification has to be obtained. (At least here in Europe). Finally, it has to made sure, that after the modifications, it still complies to the emission standards.

So there are already popular modifications done to cars by their owners, which do get checked by cops for their certification, and often enough people do not have the necessary paperwork. Simple example: some people install custom wheels which are the wrong size for that car. This poses a danger as the drivability might suffer.

If you are modifying any software required for the safe operation of the car, there is quite a potential causing harm to others, and there is where the officials have to take notion of it.
I agree on the loss of privacy, a big drawback of (current) cards.

As for your other points: Swedes use nearly exclusively debit cards directly linked to an account (so no bills to pay, no interest, no risk of spending more than you have). We all have apps to monitor our account balance.

For P2P payments we use Swish, an app linked to your bank account and your phone number. It lets you pay instantly to anyone with a phone number and it's "free" but of course locks you in to your bank. The UI is decent.

As for "supporting your community by eliminating overhead" I think the overhead is higher for cash, and many businesses seem to prefer cards (many now, like banks, are cash-free). Also, eliminating cash has the advantage of making it harder for businesses to avoid paying taxes.

I also agree that paying with your phone sounds worse than using a card (which takes seconds and never runs out of batteries), but maybe you get your privacy back?

I don't think javascript will ever be "fixed": it is as it is, if you change how hoisting works, you break everything. But:

1. You can solve that already in ES6, by returning fn from a function, also avoiding the global variable;

> strict hiragana character set are readable by natives because they're already fluent in speaking

This is an argument for spending more time trying to become fluent in speaking (by learning vocab/grammar/etc) than spending time learning how to draw a bunch of characters.

The use of spaces would be necessary if Japan were to switch to kana, and that's one of the 3 things Kanamoji-kai recommends as well:

http://kanamozi.org/hikari958-08_kanamozibun-kakikata.pdf

Without spaces kana-only writing would be hard to read for most native speakers.

I honestly don't see any issue in not teaching kanji in Japanese classes, any more than not teaching cursive writing or Latin in English classes. They are just not essential. (Please do not start a lecture on how Latin helps you understand English.)

> ethnocentric dream of the languge one day being romanized

I'm not saying Japan should switch to romaji. I think in Japan's case kana would be much more realistic.

Also, I'm not advocating abolishing kanji either (people should be able to write kanji all day everyday if that's what they want to do).

I just want the government to (a) stop teaching kanji in public schools, and (b) mandate the use of kana (or some other phonetic writing system) in government documents.

I don't see how it's "ethnocentric". For most non-native speakers it's much easier to learn this way. Only non-native Japanese learners I've met who found it "easier to read" kana-kanji writing were people who already knew kanji e.g. Chinese people who were learning Japanese & were not fluent in speaking. The true of the matter is they were just familiar with the characters and they often didn't even know how to pronounce the words.

Jeffrey S. Dukes, "Burning Buried Sunshine", 2003, gives an excellent breakdown on how coal, oil, and gas are formed, their energy equivalents in current biomass, and a few other odd bits.

http://globalecology.stanford.edu/DGE/Dukes/Dukes_ClimChange...

Yes, there's a lot of sunlight. But consider that 70% of it falls where you cannot walk, unless you carry your own cross, and much the rest of it is called on elsewhere in the ecosystem. That still leaves a great deal available to humans, but an order or two of magnitude less than that 1,000 times more than we need in a year.

Plants are far closer to 1-3% efficient at converting sunlight to stored energy, so you're off by an order of magnitude there.

I've scoped out the biomass equivalent acreage for US petroleum consumption under several scenarios, and it's not pretty. See the table about halfway down this page:

https://www.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/2cvap7/the_int...

Consider that much the world would like to be at US levels of energy consumption, and the population continues to increase.

If you want to do some useful reading, start going through Vaclav Smil's books. Most ecology texts are also quite useful. Howard and Eugene Odum have written several excellent ones, both general to ecology, and specific to humans and energy.

Keep in mind that energy is among our immediate problems, but is hardly the only one.
I do think of it in exactly that way. But football fans, whovians, trekkies and all other sorts of harmless geeks and freaks don't expect the world and the law to bend over backwards to accommodate their hobby or fandom.

I usually think of containers as an expanded chroot jail.

They even serve a similar purpose: During the 32 bit to 64 bit switchover, I'd occasionally install 32-bit libs into a chroot jail to more easily compile software that depended on being 32-bit, without wanting to pollute the global space with 32-bit packages.
There are two classes of Next Big Things:

1. things which would clearly be useful, but couldn't be made yet or which cost too much to be practical. Example: flying cars, tablet computers.

2. things that could be done easily with current technology but hadn't been tried yet. Examples: Uber, Twitter.

A useful subclass of #2 is things which are known to be useful and have just become or are just about to become makeable. A good example is the Motorola Star-Tac, the first flip phone. It's a Star Trek communicator, made real.

Apple is good in that space. The Macintosh was of that type. Good UNIX workstations already existed, as did the Alto and Dorado, they just cost too much. The original 1984 Mac was a severely cost-reduced workstation - tiny screen, no hard drive, floppy disk storage only. It took a few more years to get a hard drive into the product, at which point it became useful.

The iPod was also in that space. It wasn't the first MP3 player. The iPhone wasn't the first smartphone, although it was the first to get rid of the keyboard.

So that's where Apple innovates - at the leading edge of what's commercially possible. They don't do long-term efforts to make a technology work, as RCA did with color TV and IBM did with computers.
> I would say if your interview process can be aced by somebody hitting the books for a month, you're not testing for hard enough things.

I'd say if someone can independently learn the things you think are important enough to interview around in a month then they're the sort of person you should be hiring, unless you don't expect new problems to ever emerge you'll need people who can develop their knowledge anyway.

There is no proof whatsoever that Russia released these materials. In case of the North Korean hacks the US government raised the issue at the UN and provided proof for it to justify sanctions.

None of this happened here. I suspect that the Democrats and the very biased media are attempting to divert attention from the content of these leaks away. (like for example Soros basically telling Hillary what to do regarding protests that were going on in Albania a while back)

On top of that they are spinning the narrative that Trump is somehow connected to Putin, even though Trump never had any business ties to Russia. (while Hillary did, she received millions from Sberbank for allowing the Russians to buy 20% of all US Uranium production)

Edit: If the Russians were really hell bent on destroying the US society as the Soviets did back then they would likely help Hillary win the election and amplify all the SJW insanity and race conflicts that are currently going on. (Obama the uniter!) They also have extensive experience with applied Socialism and its inevitable results so they know that the US would probably be severely weakened by another decade of Democrat Socialist policies.
Looking at the SVG2 spec it seems that support of embedded fonts is mandatory [1]. I'm not sure about the story in SVG. It's been supported wherever I've needed it and when parsing svg files myself I extract the fonts (which is easy enough with a simple grep / cut)

Be careful, it's more of an accelerated natural selection than a school.

The postulate of 42 is that talented people will acquire this fundamental knowledge no matter what, and that non-talented people will simply drop out of school. The big idea is to make sure that people with a gift for programming, no matter where they come from or what they did before, become highly productive and achievement-driven. The rest better pack up and go do something else.

That's also one of the reasons why the school is free. Dropping out and failing should be as quick and painless as possible for both the school and the student.

My feeling is that Spy vs Spy got their popularity rather through the games than through the comic strips in Mad.

They had their distinct style which was definitely nice but I preferred stories from other cartoonists in Mad.

On some websites, longtime text-only browser users are seeing new greetings like "I see you are using an adblocker."

Usually they are greeted with warnings about lack of functionality because of absence of Javascript, and imperatives that they must upgrade to a "modern browser".

Once-free websites that were converted to companies, like Google and Facebook, must survive on web ads.

But web ads are built on an unstable foundation; their presence relies on several assumptions.

And, quite simply, the web works without them -- without the assumptions and without the ads. Longtime web users, who grew up with early "browser" prototypes, including "text-only browsers", remember this.

The network is very fast now. We can move all manner of data across "the web". But the architecture of the internet and the web is still more or less the same.

This is, thankfully, why "blocking" (not requesting) web ads is so easy.
