Algebraic effects are a hot topic. The name sounds fancy but maybe this intuition helps: an effect is like an exception where the exception handler receives enough information to resume the computation from where it was called. Just like exceptions, effects are dynamically scoped: the handler is always found up in the call stack.
Anyone familiar with both Elm and Clojurescript ?

Clojurescript's 're-frame' lib implements something similar to the Elm architecture and is quite pleasant to work with.

How does the Elm experience compare to the Clojurescript experience ?
Ask HN: JavaScript frameworks for front end apps hosted on GH Pages
I've built quite a few javascript tools that are hosted on github pages. They are usually simple calculators or forms that output a to a table or a csv and I do this mostly in plain javascript.

However a lot of times if I want to make the app more powerful I find that I miss having the features of a framework (Like binding form elements to variables).

I have found that many JS frameworks don't like that im not using a server to serve the pages (Vue really doesn't like it).

Are there any frameworks out there that are friendly with github pages and will let me build more powerful front end only apps?

The future of business systems – Compare the Cloud
Success is independent of the quality of the product, but if the quality of the product is any indication, I'd say it's unlikely. After being a Netflix subscriber for over a decade, I finally pulled the plug. Their "original" series include some great shows but also include a lot of crap. Almost everything else is garbage. They got rid of the star rating system which was the only thing sort of making discovery of the few non-garbage items possible. Even when they had the star rating system, you couldn't sort by stars because they didn't want you to see all the garbage in the system. They cannot produce or license, it seems, new shows fast enough to justify the $10 or so a month anymore. Licenses expire and good content goes away. The list of problems is almost never ending and instead of improving the platform, they're making it worse. Even "House of Cards" was rather disappointing this season. I don't see them turning this around with one or two good shows every year.
By "100% clean" do you mean no flicker, ie. they use the more expensive components? I invested in Philips LED bulbs about a year ago and honestly I can't fault them at all. I consider myself to be sensitive to things like flickering. It doesn't usually give me a headache, but it will make me notice it to the point of distracting me. I was so happy to find that the Philips LEDs were almost just like old-fashioned bulbs (instant on, no flicker, warmer colour), but with virtually no heat output and vastly reduced power consumption.
yes, i they were focusing on the vertical force because it is the more likely to cause injuries and , when jogging, most of the total force.

No legal trouble so far. I don't use any information that isn't publicly available (although let's be honest, no one can truly say that all public documentation was created clean room; and emudevs can't know without having seen the original or being informed of this), and I also don't include any copyrighted code. Only very small boot IPLROMs that qualify for fair use (ineligibility for copyright) under Lexmark v SCC.

The real kicker is the Game Boy Advance. It requires a 16KiB BIOS to boot. Any attempts at a high level emulation or a recreation of the ARM assembly code will result in inaccurate emulation, which is a bridge I won't cross. Games can literally read the whole BIOS out (unofficially, but it's possible.) Thus, games can even go as far as to compare every byte of the BIOS. Without the BIOS, the detection of an emulator is an absolutely trivial matter.

I suspect it would be safe to include it, but will not risk it after Sony v Connectix -- easily the worst court precedent in the history of emulation. A judge who had absolutely no understanding of technical matters with regards to emulation and how his ruling created a perfect end-run against the possibility of ever producing a perfect, legal, free emulator.

I'm also hamstrung on the coprocessor firmware included within many game cartridges. Titles using such things won't boot in higan like they will in emulators that use HLE, thus making my emulator more difficult to use than everyone else's.

It we would be easy to add simple built-in constraints for things like equality, without jumping all the way to full-blown type classes. This would be a very minimal change to the type checker and should not require a rewrite.
I'm mildly curious as to where you live? I thought the UK was one of the first countries to get EMV/Chip and Pin. I'm 32 and I had a swipe before a Chip and Pin card.
The earliest worldwide public trials and rollouts look to be ~ 2003, that would mean you didn't have a bank account with a card until you were ~21?
Is that normal where you come from?
I think I had my first swipe ~16, second swipe ~18, the bank switched me to Chip and Pin roughly a year later if my memory serves... which it often doesn't ;-)
It seems like there's no solutions for generic JSON encoding for OCaml/BuckleScript/Reason either though.

Don Quixote is a pathetic, vainglorious egotist with mental problems, whose attack on windmills is just one of his many feats of remarkably willful stupidity. He isn't fighting a good battle that is unlikely to be won, he's inventing battles out of nothing so he can feel special and important when really all he's doing is being irritating and getting beaten up by inanimate objects (the windmill sail). He's to be laughed at or pitied, not respected or admired. That was something of the point, take a classic knight in shining armor from romance stories, put him in real life, and watch how much of a loser he'd be.

This might be a case of pop culture failing to capture the essence of a reference, and the misunderstanding gaining higher prevalence than the true meaning. Calling someone 'nimrod' is another example. Nimrod was, unironically, one of the greatest hunters in the bible - smart, swift, strong. But Bugs Bunny called Elmer Fudd that, and Fudd was an idiot. So anyone not familiar with the Bible character thought nimrod == idiot, rather than Bugs calling Fudd that sarcastically.
If she wanted to demonstrate "the evils of capitalism" it's pretty ironic that she decided to name the game with problem that can only exist in non-capitalist systems and is the flagship product of communism/socialism.
> all major ISPs are state owned

That is not important. In Russia even private ISP are required to install a firewall to block access to sites that are spreading illegal information (and they are also required to install a device that is monitoring whether the blocking policies are followed). There is also a law that will oblige ISPs record and keep customers' traffic in the future.

> When you're say Comcast, you only see the connections your customers make and accept, you can't see what VPN servers are doing.

A user of VPN typically has a single outgoing connection to a data center IP and that is easy to detect for an ISP. There is no need to see the VPN server's connections if you see the user's ones.

> where government control is less prevalent and the government is overtly democratic, false positives will result in anger in the populace

In those countries there will be no censorship and no need for a VPN. Also, most people don't use tools like VPNs and use Internet mostly for sites like social networks. Even if there are 1% of annoyed customers that cannot use VPN or SSH, the rest 99% won't notice that.

No, it wouldn't. Not if the child is asleep. Some kids wiggle in their sleep in a carseat, but there are plenty who sleep like a sack of flour.
maybe they should partner with IMDB to see what content that isn't available that their customers want, or even make Netflix free (with only the option to watch pilot shows or old classic movies) and additional option to put shows and movies into a wishlist whether it's part of the catalogue or not.

Several notably stupid interview questions from successful people
Anyone know what the LiFX bulbs use? We have a dozen of them and the adjustable color temp is great. I also have a box of smaller LED bulbs from Home Depot. Neither hurt my eyes and I don't (didn't, will see now that I'm paying attention) notice a difference, but I'm sure there is one.

I also wonder about e.g. The Anker desk lamps, where the bulb is built in. I have one behind my monitor with the head turned round (it's designed to do this) to throw light up the wall behind my monitor as bias lighting, and another (their clamp lamp) on my electronics desk. They're great lamps with annoying touch power buttons, but both are adjustable color temp and have built-in LEDs which never require changing.
Standardizing the process is crucial: due-diligence, questions, de-biasing, ranking and so on.
I hope the title of this link is not changed by the HN admins. I chose the words carefully.

I post the link not because the content is interesting, but because it is interesting how bad the interview questions are for these successful people.

I think (hope) recruiting has moved on from general, tangential, puzzling, abstract and not directly related interview questions. These successful business leaders maybe haven't interviewed people for a long time and so are still in the way of asking these silly interview questions.

Not every interview question here is stupid, but many are.

Yes 100% free of flicker. I actually measured modulation technically speaking so even brightness modulation of a small amount would have been picked up.

Same experience with the Philips bulbs here.
Having debt is structurally completely different from having (equity) investors. The entire financial incentive, risk, and payout structure behind taking on debt is unlike that of selling off equity. In this case, Netflix is much worse off having taken on large amounts of debt. I hope this response isn't too brusque, but I strongly suggest you read an introductory finance textbook.

Not OP, but I'm 32, French, and I never even saw my parents use a swipe card. My earliest memories of credit cards are chip and pin (and I still remember their code). Apparently this started in 1992 here, though I guess it wasn't technically "credit cards" but the national debit cards system.

Well,

Self-driving cars will have to pass through the stages of rare, occasional, common and universal and each of these is going to have an impact.

Especially, Americans have billions of dollars invested in their cars and many them cannot afford to buy a new car at a moments notice. I hate driving but I have a car because I live an area where it's necessary. Once you own a car, each drive is fairly cheap (cheaper than public transit, sadly) because you're effectively expanding money you've spent on your car. So a lot of people, especially poorer people, will keep the cars they have unless Lyft/Uber/something gets a whole cheaper.

Maybe the final outcome you describe will happen but we'll have to survive the process of transition first, process that may a change a lot before it finishes.

> Want to decode some JSON? Hard, especially if the JSON is heavily nested and it must be decoded to custom types defined in your application. Doing this will require an understanding of how JSON decoding works in Elm and will usually result in quite a bit of code (our application contains over 900 lines of JSON decoders alone).

Yes, this is it exactly! Even the framing of it as waiting for a bus is given as one of the examples, "Problem 2, The Standard Wait Problem" but the other examples also have similar behaviour.
By the same argument, we can consider that "revenge porn" (wide sharing of an ex's naked pictures/videos online) is totally fine, as the person sharing the pictures had them in their posession legally.

I've been browsing "showdead" for quite some time. My main complaint is that there's no obvious way to tell if an account has been shadowbanned or not. I'll report questionable instances to hn (via email), and on something like 3/4 of cases, the account has been, though it's not clealry evident.

I'll vouch for some flagged items. Flag others. Generally I think the comment ranking is pretty good. There's a tendency for somewhat fluffy comments to be excessively highly rated, but as compared to other systems (say, Reddit), HN compares favourably.

There's also a slight tendency for the hivemind to punish critical, but valid, comments. But again, compared to most other systems I've seen, not particularly, and the situation often evens out.
Data Asset Risks: It’s Not Your Company They Want
They can be really good if you're responsible. If you always pay my cards off in full, then they can be extremely beneficial.

With a debit card, somebody who gets ahold of the details might be able to drain the account that its linked to, but with my credit cards I have fairly low credit limits (like $5K) and I have absolutely no liability for fraudulent transactions so I'd not have to pay for them if my card details were stolen (luckily I've never had that happen so far).

I don't have a corporate card for my job, so I use my personal one for travelling and things like that. With the credit card I don't have to use any of my own money - work reimburses the expenses within two weeks, which is well within the interest free period of thirty days.

The rewards are pretty good - my Amex gives me frequent flyer points so I prefer that to having a corporate card. I book my own flights, hotel, etc. when I travel for work and charge it to the card instead of getting a travel agent to do (they would invoice the company) so I get the rewards.

Finally, you get a bit of a spread if you already have the money but use the credit card and take advantage of its interest free period. If I'm making a large purchase, that might be 30 extra days that money is in my savings account earning interest. Probably doesn't add up to much at the current savings rates (2.8% on my best account) but it's something!

Yes, and the parent comments are talking about a way to make it possible to compile all the shaders on startup instead of in the middle of the game. Longer loading times > stuttering.
From a software perspective, there is a solid cut of between "not-shaders" and "shaders". DirectX 7 compatible GPUs don't have "shader" and DirectX 8 compatible GPUs do have "shaders", even if these "shaders" are primitive and only support a maximum of 8 instructions.

But from a hardware perspective, there is no solid cut off between "non-shaders" and "shaders".

Because DirectX 8 era Shaders are just slightly more capable register combiners, with a swanky new shader based programming interface. Oh, and those 8 instructions were shoved into registers, just like on the gamecube.

In some ways, The gamecube's GPU is actually more capable than other DirectX 8 era GPUs (it can support upto 16 instructions), so It's my position that if you consider DirectX 8 gpus to have proper pixel shaders, then you should consider the gamecube has having pixel shdaers too, just with an older clunky programming interface.

The various parts of the instruction (aka register combiner stage) might be split over various registers, but the gamecube GPU executes them as whole instructions in series, just like a shader core. Our Ubershader acts like a proper interpreter, interpreting the raw data out of these registers cycle by cycle as machine code, just like the real hardware.
Author here. JSON decoding is hard relative to what it is like in JavaScript. In your JS code you can just call JSON.parse() and get the corresponding JavaScript object.

In Elm, decoding is not nearly as easy as it is in JS because every field must be explicitly converted to an Elm value. Depending on the complexity of your conversion from JSON to Elm value (e.g. whether you are just decoding to primitive values or to custom types defined in your program), there may also be a bit of a learning curve.

As I stated in the post, there is a benefit in doing all of this: your Elm application will effectively type-check your JSON and reject it if it is malformed.
