That is common knowledge but I am no so sure it is entirely true. Red Hat is very interested in GNOME, much more than say in MariaDB.
I think the problem is the post's title (which was HN's title initially, and which the previous poster alluded to) describing it as "mind-blowing". Like you said, it's a nice little demo, but it's not doing anything new or exciting compared to what's been on the market for years.
i would state it differently. the ecb sets the interest rate low so that borrowing money is cheap and thus more investments will be made and thus economic activity is stimulated.

> That's because few want to buy it, since many think Greece won't repay its debt.

You don't understand - what it means is I would be willing to take on Greece's debt obligations for an immediate financial compensation much less than the face value. It has nothing to do with their creditworthiness.

Also, because Greece's debt is actually lower than the Netherlands, or at least it was in 2013, I personally think lending them money would be a great investment and I'm not the only one[1]. It's just not an option for political reasons.

this. A company in my town has an RFID (active and passive) material tracking system for large construction projects that does some pretty cool stuff. Imagine having a $10b construction site, thousands of parts, materials, and pieces of equipment laying around in a stock yard, and being able to know where every single one is, know if someone takes the wrong part out of the yard, know if someone takes a part to an area of the jobsite it doesn't need to be in, etc... Snowfall covered your entire stock yard? no problem, still works.

You accurately describe properties of a fairly narrow class of holographic displays.

There's a larger class of display types out there. For example:

White light transmission holograms (Benton or rainbow holograms), invented in the 1970s, work by eliminating vertical parallax. Holographic stereograms relax the requirement for recording the subject in coherent light, but may use holography for the output display device. Recent advances in computation have allowed non-optical generation of diffractive structures that produce a light field when illuminated (something this research partially covers).

(Source: developed computer generated holographic stereograms and taught holography at Steve Benton's Spatial Imaging Group at the MIT Media Lab).
How do you mean, suboptimal? The fully generic version is 2 lines of initialization more than the restricted version. Is 2 lines not an accepted tradeoff for being able to change the engine, and crucially, to draw numbers from any distribution you want?

Furthermore I bet the generic, templated version is as small and fast as a naive implementation. It's all templates so it's all static code generation.
> like if taller buildings always need more shafts or something

The dependence is on keeping wait times reasonable. Taller buildings mean each shaft's elevator spends more time travelling, i.e. less time being available.
Anytime I see something about elevators I am reminded of this amazingly detailed, and highly engrossing article on the life and history of elevators.

The cable/belt mechanism of elevators has remained largely unchanged for most of it's history because of its simplicity in design, manufacturing, and maintenance. This new system is absolutely beautiful, but I agree, it looks expensive. Elevators have to work 24/7 with little maintenance, it will be very interesting to see this in the real world.

I'm talking about the situation where you can't login into the site without first confirming your email. Yeah, I know it sounds crazy, but owners initially insisted on doing it that way on two separate projects I was involved with. So customer has never seen the actual product. They'd register and then instead of immediately going to their email client to confirm it and login, they'd go somewhere else, and never come back to test the product. In many ways this is a similar process to the one with password links, and I think it would have the same effect.
The first elevator is a Elisha Otis demonstration of the elevator brake. You can see the rope snap, and the teeth on the side stop the elevator. The gears were presumable to pull the rope up for the demo.
> People say they're doing FP in JavaScript. What they mean is they sprinkle reduce and map around and they use some pure functions. There's a lot of value in that. But otherwise their code is procedural. They have not learned the paradigm, only the features.

Yeah, but that's probably okay. I feel like there's a strong implication here that following the paradigm has inherent value but I'm not sure why I should think that's the case.

Basically, I agree with the claim above that "there's a lot of value in that." :)
I think the routing algorithms could be interesting. It's funny to think about the possibility of gridlocked elevators.

It's interesting that since 2008, almost a decade ago, basically nothing has changed with respect to boarding pass layout and design.
This article is describing something that is very true but in the end it doesn't teach you how to do FP in an otherwise imperative language. This is surprising as it's just one single devastatingly simple rule you need to follow in order to do functional programming:

After you declare and assign a value to a variable NEVER change it again. That's it. Immutability. Almost every other functional programming pattern flows naturally from this restriction.

People already know the definition of functional programming and that is a functional program is a program that consists of a single expression and that the complexity of this single expression arises from the fact that this expression is the composition of other smaller functions...

What they don't know is that if you take an imperative program and make every variable immutable and construct your program following this restriction the final result will be identical to a functional program! The two concepts are isomorphic!

Try it if you don't believe me.

It's interesting that the pass has the boarding gate printed on it. I've only flown in Europe (and only started around six years ago), but the gates are available only half-hour or so from the closing time. Is it common in the US to know the gate in advance?

Oh, definitely, I agree. You need at least 2 (probably 3 or 4 for extra redundancy) shafts. But you need them to be usually one-way shafts. So everyone going up gets in at the same door, and the empty cars can fly down the other side to be ready to take more people up.

It's like people don't understand there is many different "free software licenses" as well.

A billion dollar company which sells GPL software will have to provide the entire source and its modifications to their clients and make it available as GPL so that the client can exploit it commercially without giving a single cent to that billion dollar company.
I'd disagree, only in that new passes always list boarding time in addition to departure time. They also tend to use better layout in general.
Title should include date for a 2010 blog post.
I think this solves a number of problems. Foremost the horizontal movement between buildings. China has a lot of these towers and typically there's skyways to walk across. An elevator that moves horizontally could make it easier to move from 1st of one building to 30th of another. Another point made in the video is that the elevators can move around one another. Solving the issue we have now of a single shaft moving one car to multiple, busy destinations (i.e. the morning rush) allowing multiple cars to use the same shaft to work around one another. All in all I think this is aiming to solve the two greatest problems: time, and cost.
> Well I don't see it used in a lot of code, so in that respect I think it is obscure.

I was unable to find my all-time favorite review, which is for a 55 gallon tub of lubricant. Here's an excerpt:

"So I "took the initiative", as women like men to do, and rolled the barrel out into the living room. "Ready to tap the keg?" I joked, and by "keg" I meant "55-gallon barrel of personal lubricant." She looked at me all shocked, and said "That's it, I'm out of here!" I asked why, since she didn't need to run to Walgreens for more lubricant - there was plenty right here. But she didn't answer, and got up to leave anyway."

I'm not really a resentful person myself, and am generally quite happy when someone succeeds. That's pretty much why I post all those articles about underrated channels and content creators, to bring more attention to them in the hope that my opinion on the quality of their work will eventually become the prevailing one and that they'll do well from their efforts.

However, I still have to admit I feel resentment in some cases. And that's usually if:

1. The person/creator/organisation didn't seemingly try very hard to succeed and just coasted their way through life. The people running those prank channels on YouTube and making thousands of dollars through low effort content that purely became big because of a YouTube algorithm change... those are people I might resent. Especially if they're doing better than people I consider much better artists or creators. Same goes for those creating fake news sites or what not.

2. The person or organisation becomes selfish, throws everyone that helped them under the bus and thinks they're some big shot that the world should worship. This is surprisingly rare, with my experience being a lot of successful people do tend to be pretty nice on a personality level (in contrast to cliches about only sociopaths succeeding in life).

But for the most part, I'm happy when people succeed. Only makes sense, why not be happy for anyone who succeeds through hard work and determination? It makes you feel there's a certain amount of fairness in a world that can sometimes seem very random.

Almost always. It's nice because the terminals can be rather large and if you're going to grab a meal prior to departure, you'd want to go to a restaurant that is near the departure gate. Also, different gates used by the same airline are sometimes in totally disjoint post-security areas. Are these things not problems in Europe?
"it considers only the market value of your debt, i.e. how much you could find someone to buy it for."

Makes some sense, but I don't see how you can find out what Greece's debt is that easily. Its debt may trade at a 18/175 fraction of its face value, but to properly asses it's value you would have to know what buying back _all_ of it would cost. That likely would be quite a bit more because, if they were to buy back half of it at that value, their debt would trade at a much higher fraction of its face value.

Also, I think the intent of this is to say that a country's debt cannot be larger than what it can pay back. Sounds reasonable, but we don't have a way to determine that number. Should Greece have to sell the Elgin marbles and the rest of the Parthenon to pay of its debt, for example?
Not at all. It is the default text editor for Ubuntu's Unity and Gnome Shell, so anyone using either desktop environment will likely use it at some point even if it is just for the lo-fi cases.

I use vim for a lot of stuff and IDE's like IntelliJ IDEA as well, but for simple stuff (like copy/pasting stuff from websites, and editing Markdown documents or simple text documents) Gedit is really nice to have. It's pretty much what Notepad should have been on Windows by now; simple, straight forward, clean, but capable enough (syntax highlighting, line numbering, etc.).

My girlfriend who isn't a programmer uses it exclusively for text editing. A graphical desktop environment isn't complete without a simple GUI text editor like Gedit.

Like the article said, "functional programming" doesn't mean using maps and folds. Functional programming is meant to make you reason about state by always handling it very explicitly e.g. by using functions that take a state and produce a new one, so that your program is constructed by piping the result of a function into another's input, instead of implicitly.

I'm rather sure they haven't.

Source: Myself, working in a high-rise building served by ~20 ThyssenKrupp elevators, 10 of which actually share 5 shafts (they're not the ropeless version though, AFAIK), and the scheduling sucks big time. We got them to informally acknowledge that they're being wiped every night to get around some nasty bugs, so they never learn traffic patterns, but even then it's infuriating to see how crap they are even on a Sunday with the building empty.

Anyone know if the tests look for THC, or all cannabinoids, or what?

I ask because a high CBD strain may be better for you, it's very relaxing without many of the other psychological effects, and typically the strains have very little/next to no THC.

But I guess the possibility of a test failure would still be lurking.... there are also pure CBD capsules and tinctures. Just a thought.

I disagree with you. Map and reduce achieve the same result as a for loop so why not use a for loop? The end result is the same it's just a bit cooler or convenient to use map in place of a for loop, that's the only reason why you would use one instead of the other in a imperative program.

The functional paradigm fundamentally alters the way the entire program is constructed, and you can do it without map reduce or filter. You really need to play with haskell or lisp to see the light.
Feel free to actually provide a real counterpoint to my argument instead of "well, you're wrong, so there".

IANAL but my understanding is that 1) it keeps your activities private when doing business as the LLC since no one has to disclose the owner of the LLC and 2) tax liabilities are not passed to the owner of the LLC, so if a business deal goes underwater the creditors can't pursue you personally.

I'm sure some details there aren't 100%. most people I know using them are privacy freaks so my experience is biased towards that end of it.
BTC-e has never been a reputable exchange. Nobody has recommended its use ever since there's been reasonable alternatives, such as Coinbase and Kraken.

Also, the fact that it was used for money laundering does not in any way show that the exchange system provided to customers was anything other than totally above-board. That the police are able to steal people's money when the issue at hand has nothing to do with those people's money is the problem here. HSBC isn't stealing its customers' money because it turned a blind eye to money laundering either.
