It's funny you posted this, because today was examination day for the 'Functional Programming in Miranda' course at University College London, one of the last institutions to actually teach a course in Miranda.

Indeed, it's a great stepping stone to Haskell, with many of the important functional concepts but without some advanced (albeit useful) stuff like monadic programming.

One of the downsides is the ancient Mira console, which can output cryptic error messages, and which doesn't have command history out the box. Nevertheless, it's lightyears faster to start than GHCI, so good for learning.
Couldn't disagree more. Under those circumstances it's critical to maintain the big three. Even if you're working 16-hr days having reasonably healthy food, doing some form of exercise between pomodoros, and resting is doable.

I'd argue it's the most important thing you can do in order to sustain that level of effort for any amount of time. You can't take care of anything else if you don't take care of yourself, physically and mentally.

That fine seems low, preserving the moral hazard, unless it applies to each affected person or some other compounding factor.
Nobody cares about damages; the real meat is whether or not there will be an injunction. Damages could foreseeably go into the $1 billion range; an injunction would cost uber at least an order of magnitude more than that.

It's not so much that they are financially valid, it's whether you consider the money to have been taken by the state, and that it should compensate you for the money it took, or if your money is being held by the state, and it should return it.

If you consider that it should compensate you for the money it took off you, then Colorado has a law on the books governing the compensation process, which Thomas (and the previous court - the Colorado Supreme Court) thinks you should follow.

The majority opinion seems to be that not quickly returning (and it considered it as returning rather than compensating) the innocent parties property offends their right to due process.
Yeah, modifying the Constitution is the way to really get it done.

As far as whether I am okay designing policy using statistics, even if there are two sides to those statistics, with horrible anecdotes on the side the policy impacts negatively, the answer is yes.
I work at one of those big tech companies which has a huge number of services in its codebase in Java (you could properly guess the company). We use Kotlin daily for back-end services as a cleaner and more powerful Java, and we've migrated most of our original Java spring/rest projects to be in Kotlin. If you're familiar with Java-based stacks, I think it's fairly trivial to migrate to Kotlin first as a Java substitute before taking advantage of everything Kotlin has to offer, then slowly adopting Kotlin principles.

Well, I mean, the alternative is that it's a complex issue often touted as black-and-white to allow for taking a moral high ground against rational people that reasonably disagree on some of the conclusions and proposed methods for dealing with the issue.

And if that's true, then it's possible there's no grand conspiracy and at the end of the day, either the evidence isn't strong enough or the case isn't being made well enough to get everyone on board. If the debate is being lost before they even start telling people how dramatically their lifestyles will have to change to have a meaningful impact on the issue, what possible hope could they have when those realities are laid out?

But that's probably not true, so don't worry about it. Now are you with us or a denier?

Works for me.

Whenever you have such a complaint - and choose to make it public - please include more details. What system, what browser, add-ons (adblocker) at least.

EDIT: Downvotes? For answering the question truthfully? It does work for me. The question was (is) "is anyone else unable to scroll on this page?" -- and I have no problem scrolling. I answered the question! The question was NOT "do you think the page is designed badly". If that is what was meant, that is why I said "needs more details". All the person asked was about "being able to scroll"! And the design issue does not prevent it. I answered the question that was actually asked! I assumed, and still do, that the person isn't able to scroll at all.
I have been a Google+ user consistently since 2011, and over the past year in particular, activity has massively dropped off. I think Google+ is finally running out of steam, after many years of ghost town jokes.

Used to be there was a decent point in G+ for brands being integrated with Google Maps/My Business, etc. but Google's moved heavily towards removing G+ integration with most of their products, and that perk doesn't really hold true anymore.
What kind of guarantees do you want from your type system? Strictly speaking the only guarantee that linear types give you is that every single linear value will be consumed at some point, which generally means that no resources ever get "leaked". If the idea of accidentally leaking a resource is unacceptable to you then you might find that affine types are too flexible, as languages that implement affine types generally give you some way to leak a value.

In practice I don't know if anyone is overly concerned about this. While Rust doesn't have linear types, I find you have to bend over backwards to introduce a situation where you might accidentally leak a resource.

Tarean makes a good point with respect to fusion, but "guaranteeing" fusion requires additional assistance from the compiler in addition to the basic implementation of linear types.
what's a fund that "bets against" S&P?
I can believe that there's less of a difference when mainly comparing models of buildings. My opinion is based on comparing my Lego collection (primarily Expert Builder/Technics, Legoland Space, and general purpose Creator-like sets from ~30 years ago), and my son's collection (not as large, no Technics, mostly vehicles), which is at most a few years old. There is definitely a very big difference between those two collections. Also, my point (which I realize now I didn't convey very well) was not that there are so many unique pieces, it's that the diversity of non-unique pieces has greatly increased.
Maybe. I don't know OP or his situation. Others had already mentioned taking a vacation so that seemed redundant.

I mentioned that first because it's easy to fall into a lifestyle trap and think the only way to cope is to get a job that makes more. The formula for money is income minus expenses, so you always have two variables you can play with.

It also makes a nice mental segue for people into the topic of getting a new job, a topic which people can be adverse to. It creates a choice that seemingly wasn't there before.

FWIW I wouldn't be so quick to turn your nose up at side gigs.

I have a friend who picked up an old vinyl decal cutter and now makes a significant amount of his income by selling custom decal stickers for cars and windows and such to local businesses.

Similarly my neighbor does lawn aerating in the spring and sprinkler blowouts in the fall and considers it a refreshing break from his work as a PM.
I also don't understand why is your comment downvoted. I think that some people don't want to lose their hard-earned JavaScript skills and try to downvote everything that bless WebAssembly in any way.
Same here. Several emails so far from different seemingly random companies and individuals with clearly malicious Google Docs requests w/ a suspicious param in the oauth request in the link:

"&redirect_uri=3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fgoogledocs.docscloud.info%2Fg.php&customparam=3Dcustomparam"
30MB for the app itself seems excessive, though.
At first I was wondering what I could possibly use this for, but as I sat and thought about it, I realized the possibilities are enormous. I'd like to know if the following are possible:

1. Forcing me to stay on budget, unless there's an emergency (perhaps allow purchases over budget after the third attempt).

2. Automatically distribute paychecks or other income into different accounts (some to retirement, some to savings, some to checking, w/e...); this behavior could change based on the current distribution of your money too, so if your "emergency fund" got really low you could automatically spend more of your income replenishing it.

3. Deny unwanted transactions and tightly control your own fraud detection (SMS confirmation for every purchase out of your zip code, confirmations for purchases from new places, you name it...).

4. Automate the creation and destruction of virtual cards to minimize danger of online purchases or to make sure that "free trial" never starts charging you.

I'm sure there's tons of other awesome ideas, but I want all of these quite badly.

True, although I wonder whether the transaction can be asynchronous. For example, if you don't approve or deny within a few seconds, I'd be willing to bet that the transaction times out.

This would be fine for in-person transactions, where you can approve it on your phone, but for transactions you aren't expecting (e.g. recurring monthly subscriptions) it seems like you'd need some notice -- or a long timeout period.
For 2, I stopped reading and went straight for the comments to see if my logic was flawed.

The process is "panicking", but it is still reliable enough to post a message to Slack? Even writing a log entry might be too much, depending on what exactly the failure was.
I mean, I did and I got a lot of money from betting on that. I'm post exit on precisely that bet, and were I not so incredibly tired of fintech I'd bet again.

Many national American banks are toxically opposed to actual modernization, for a variety of reasons. Their classical "enterprise" beliefs on security put all the banks I've talked to well behind the curve.

But also, I want to avoid a scenario where the US is a principle innovator in technology and also in finance.
This was my immediate question. For want of a more rigorous test, the online closure compiler service (https://closure-compiler.appspot.com/home) failed to produce equivalent or shorter output for all but the first example.
Google Drive Service disruption
A compromise would be to use Electron/Chromium as shared libraries so the bulk of those apps would be using the same 500 MB - nearly free lunch for users who would have Chromium running all day either way.
It depends on what you use from window. If no functions on `window` are called during initialization you could just use `__assumeDataProperty` on all the properties of `window` you access.

If you call a function on `window` during initialization you would need to use `__residual` to emit the code into the residual program (assuming the call has no side effects on the heap that need to be seen by other initialization code). This is because otherwise Prepack cannot know how the abstract function would modify the heap (if it is an arbitrary function it could modify the global object for example), so it is not safe to execute.
Do we have space in orbit for this? This is a lot of satellites and I also don't get how the latency can be so much lower than current satellite ISPs?
Not to sound disparaging, but could this basically be summed up as "Kotlin is the syntactic sugar version of Java"?

I mean, ignoring functional stuff which is in Java 8 but not on Android because Android is still(?) on Java 7, that's all I'm really seeing here.
Shogun is really a great and influential book.

What does it take to get a business license revoked these days? If an individual carried on the way Uber does s/he's be looking at a long stretch in prison. While I championed Uber's disruption of the taxi monopoly when it got started, and did a lot of free advocacy here on HN against taxi industry shills, the firm has turned out to be as corrupt or worse than the market it set out to disrupt.

Should the various allegations made against the firm prove true, and and it seems like there's a good chance of that, a good number of people need to face criminal charges, the company needs to be shut down and its assets auctioned off, and the investors need to end up with nothing because they abrogated their corporate governance responsibilities.
Dreyfus was my favorite Berkeley professor, and taught my favorite undergrad course, Existentialism in Literature and Film, in which he introduced me to Kierkegaard, Camus, Marguerite Duras's Hiroshima mon amour, and Graham Greene's The Third Man. His Heidegger class was also great, and there he also introduced us to Maurice Merleau-Ponty. I loved his lectures and he was also a nice guy... a lot nicer and more approachable than his also famous colleague John Searle.
Were there any facts in your answer? Where did the parent mention Revelations?
That is true. I was discussing just the cost of the PC in the above comments, but when I built my development PC and bought a Vive it ended up costing me over 2k USD after taxes.
In South Africa we have stop orders and debit orders. Stop orders are for an amount agreed in advance. Debit orders allow the payee to debit your account for whatever amount they choose, obviously with the proviso that they have to produce evidence that you agreed to this, and that they can justify the charge. I've heard some stories about people having issues with unscrupulous payees abusing this, but I believe that's rare. I, for example, pay for my mortgage, credit card, cellphone, satellite TV, etc. via debit order.
You may be right, I don't know the internals of the Webkit. Then I suppose an alternative with an easy migration path would pop-up... or the supply of developers with good native experience would need to magically increase, which is very less likely to happen.
> It's not natural to love or even like your work

While this may be common or anadoctal and not everyone can be so lucky. But I legitimately enjoy, like, and even sometimes love my job and work. Major parts of it I'd likely be doing as a side hobby for free and even after a days work I toy with the idea of doing a similar side personal project similar to my work.

This might not be true every day for me but more days than not.

Though I do fully acknowledge these types of jobs are extremely rare and it's unlikely most won't ever find. But they do exist for some.
Three channels I'd describe as insightful without any feeling of exaggeration are Winston Sterzel's and Matthew Tye's vlogs on living, working and travelling in China. I had very little idea about Chinese society earlier except what's portrayed in media, but now I feel a lot more informed thanks to their videos.

If we're giving anecdotal evidence, I have about 4 Dell notebooks from 2011 to 2016, all of them are either broken or cannot function normally. So should i go ahead and generalize that all the machines in this period are bad?

I said the price works for me because a 6 year old laptop still chugs along comfortably so the price gets amortized. I was not holding a measuring contest.
Can you provide a minimal example?
This is fucking impressive!

Just evaluated this:

(function() {
var a = 'a';
var b = [a, 'b', 'c']
.filter((i, index) => i.charAt( 1 - index) !== 'b')
.map(i => i + '!')
.join(',')
console.log(b)
})()

BTW how you avoid going to infinite loops?
>There is no constitutional right, apparently, to being "made whole" if your "conviction" is "overturned".

Which in the general case is pretty clearly true. If someone is arrested and found not guilty, have their conviction overturned on appeal, etc. they're not in general entitled to payment for lost wages, legal costs, etc. It seems reasonable to consider this a different situation in that it involved a specific fine but I can at least see the counterargument that it's not.
My aunt's town in rural Western Massachusetts still only has broadband in the library plus scanty LTE service and current terrible satellite— how and whether to wire the town with broadband is driving the first contested election in decades.

This could make a major difference for that type of rural town.
>Law ... monstrocities

We already have that, though, and "sufficienty written" is a very dangerous standard.

The easiest way to guard against "all" malicious input is write a vague law without clauses that demand mens reas, which means that regardless of whether or not you knowingly broke the law, by violating its provisions, you automatically did.

The leeway to "serve justice" also tends to be the leeway to condemn justice or to interpret law in ways it was never designed to account for.

The lawcomic, written by a lawyer, has a good section about the kind of overcriminalization you're discussing:

It's binary, not statistics.

Would you grant that there has been at least one case where gun was used successfully to defend oneself?

If so, then for that person, that option was worthwhile and exercised successfully. All statistics be damned. And I for one, doesn't want to revert the outcome of that event because of statistics.

It is highly individual decision to exercise an option available to them. Success or failure of that option has nothing to do with it, hence statistics of outcome of the event doesn't have a bearing on the option being available.

Should I not have right to give $20 to a homeless person? Statistics may say it would most likely get used for drugs. Does that mean society should outlaw donating money to homeless persons? You may publish stats and provide alternative means to help homeless, but individual decisions to donate to homeless can't be outlawed, can it be?

What may be moral as group goal as seen by outsider bystander, may be immoral when seen from individual perspective.

People are not statistical samples, people are individuals. I associate myself with individual first, before group. I prefer individual safety first, I value it more than some perceived group benefit.
For me there's no comparison between the experience of firing a gun or a bow and arrow in VR with hand tracked controls vs in a traditional game with a monitor and a mouse or gamepad. Even virtual target practice with very little 'game' around it is pretty fun I find.

The industry is still figuring out how to create gameplay that takes advantage of VR rather than just porting over gameplay mechanics from traditional games. There are also limitations on how ambitious VR games can get given the current size of the market. There's some very compelling experiences starting to appear already though in my opinion.

I think it's a mistake to put too much emphasis on the current relatively high cost of hardware as a guide to the future potential of the medium. We know that price will come down and if you compare it in real terms to the cost of early PCs it already looks quite affordable.
I'm working on a VR game at the moment (solo side project for now), and one thing I notice is that you very quickly hit immersion limits for even simple interactions when you use the Touch or Vive controllers. The UX is actually a really hard problem!

I can see why that leads to an enterprise approach where UX is a bit less important.

More specifically, I'm building a juggling simulator. Other apps and games have simulated throwing and it looks and feels convincing, but once you have to throw multiple things per second, the immersion totally breaks with trigger based grabbing. I've been experimenting trying to find a better approach.

Originally I thought it could be a nice fun little project, not really trying to make money. But it took all of maybe five hours of Unity programming to hit untrodden territory! Now I'm starting to nerd out on the immersion and design problem.

I sometimes think about what I would do if I were instructed to abandon a companion animal. For example, in an evacuation. I like to think that I wouldn't, and that I'd either socially engineer the situation or find some creative way to keep the entire family safe. I hope to never be in that position.
How Long Do Pugs Live?
But Facebook are a big organisation that a) has a reputation to keep, b) a lot of smart security engineers and c) are very unlikely to hand their software over to a bad guy for an envelope of money.

Why would you trust your Facebook account (or any other account) to a random stranger on the internet you've never met, heard of, or even seen? Whose real name you probably don't even know?

The 4,425 satellites will "operat[e] in 83 orbital planes (at altitudes ranging from 1,110km to 1,325km)," and "require associated ground control facilities, gateway Earth stations, and end-user Earth stations," Cooper said. By contrast, the existing HughesNet satellite network has an altitude of about 35,400km, making for a much longer round-trip time than ground-based networks
