I wish there was a canonical, common, simple, straightforward and nearly unambiguous and universal way to modify an element in an array.

In many languages: arr[idx] = nevalue

In Haskell: a blog post or two, telling me how great all the new ways are because of the type system.

I know I'm sounding very contrarian, but it really is a frustration I have with the language. I've heard several times that once you manage to use it a lot you find these unambiguous universal methods. I just feel like getting there first requires digesting all of these blog posts.

I think you're still missing the point. I understood that the author was criticizing the mindset of the companies which "want to use blockchain". In those cases, "moving the goal posts" is actually the sensible thing to do, when said companies are looking into the blockchain without understanding if they are actually going to benefit from the core blockchain benefit of decentralization.

There should be nothing wrong in moving the goal posts, when the original goal seems to be the wrong one.

These campaigns do exist, so the question is "Where are the bots?" Look to the people with opinions and phrasing that parallel the government, like happened with Trump/Russia/Wikileaks coordination. They also pepper the account with many unrelated comments. They're usually impossible to verify as a person. And they don't make arguments, they make deflections. Aim of propaganda today is to muddy the conversation, cast doubt, prevent consensus. So look for those patterns.
I was being facetious in my first sentence. Obviously, there is no strong biological discriminator when it comes to oppression. There is a historic precedent for something like that, but no evidence that it's strictly due to biology.

Look at any single factor or category of factors you want, and it never applies to all groups of humans. And this is because it's a social dynamic, and so it changes between social groups. Focusing on biology is bikesheddding.

You could theoretically put all kinds of meta-information into the grammar, even arbitrary code snippets that are pasted into the generated parser. I'm not saying that that's a good idea - it undermines much of the value of a parser generator - but generally speaking it can be done.
Why Feedback Matters
I'm not shaming the fact that they voted, I'm shaming who they voted for. You aren't a responsible voter if you're not up to accepting responsibility for your vote. If you voted for Trump, hope he's making you happy. If you voted for Jill Stein or Ralph Nader in 2016 or 2000 in WI, MI, PA, or FL, you are very much responsible for Bush and Trump respectively in the electoral and government system we have since your candidate was a spoiler.

These 3rd party voters could have abstained or voted for another 3rd party or went Republican, but they didn't. They could have traded their vote to someone in a safe state (https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/16/opinion/anti-trump-republ...), if Hillary was their 2nd preference. If not, go ahead, vote for 3rd party candidate who could be a spoiler and has no chance of winning.
Transport layer to me means TCP/IP. HTTP sits above that, in the application domain. If a user sends an invalid request then the response should be in the 400 band. If the server failed in some way to deal with the request (e.g. the database is unavailable), then the response should be in the 500 band.

I would typically decide what my response code should be depending on what I think the response should be.

If a user tries to register a new account then a successful outcome would probably be a new user resource. If the user tries to register a username that already exists, I'd also probably go with 409 Conflict as the user is trying to create a resource that already exists.

We can and we should. Democratic politicians need to strongly disavow and condemn violence in general and left wing violence in particular and in exactly the same manner Republican politicians need to strongly disavow and condemn violence and right wing violence in particular. I would also like to see politicians from across the political spectrum come together to endorse peaceful political processes and to emphasise that the criminality of violence and hate has no place in a democratic society.
Show HN: Cent – Earn ETH by answering questions
Hey HN!

Today my cofounder Max and I are launching the beta version of Cent — a question-and-answer service that allows answerers to make money, and curious individuals with a need for knowledge a way to get quick answers on anything that comes to mind.

When a user asks a question on Cent, they place an ETH bounty on the question as well. The higher the bounty, the more the network is incentivized to answer you clearly and concisely, providing you more valuable information for your inquiry due to the additional monetary incentive.

Users then vote on which answer(s) they determine to be deserving of the bounty and then the funds are distributed to the users who wrote the best answers.

Our eventual goal is to create several mechanisms for people to earn money remotely, but this is our first major feature, and we wanted to gather as many useful comments and feedback as possible.

Would love to hear any feedback from you all! Our site is https://cent.co and the direct link to the beta is https://beta.cent.co

Ok, I thought it was rather very visible earlier on, such as before he even decided to run for president.

They did not have to nominate him.

> I'm not advocating for a pissing contest over who is more violent.

Ok

> I'm advocating for people to treat each other decently even if they disagree. I'm advocating for rational dialogue.

It's pretty hard to have a rational dialogue when one side of the dialogue discards all facts as 'fake', brings their own 'alternative facts' to the table, tacitly and openly supports violence against their opposition and in general does whatever possible to polarize the society they are nominally supposed to lead.

> I think this isn't the moment to win points for the left.

This stopped being about 'points' long ago, this is about the future of a country.

> Partly because I think the case isn't strong, but also because I don't see it solving the real problem of divisive American politics.

Agreed, that problem starts at the top and it will take a serious amount of soul searching for the GOP to decide how far they will let this slide before they will put a stop to it. Chances are that it is already past the point where it can be arrested anyway but maybe there is still an outside chance the problem can be contained before it spills over.

> The left can't "win" enough to forever banish Trumps from power. It only causes escalation, at least so far.

This is not about left versus right, if that's your frame of reference today then you really should wake up and start paying attention, the damage to the United States as an institution both at home and abroad is immense.

It's like a lose-lose. Stay on the council, you ostensibly are committed to keeping manufacturing jobs in the US, but could be seen as complicit of Trump. Leave, and you're making a stand against Trump...while at the same time leaving one of the few good things he has going for him. And let's be honest, without some sort of external coercion, these companies aren't going to stay in the US.

The actions in Charlottesville are despicable, hate filled, and I feel for those who the hate was directed against. I also said the same thing about the Berkly riots where the roles were reversed.

I'm getting blastest on Facebook for mentioning what's going to suffer next: our First Amendment rights. No one has a right to issue direct threats to anyone, or call for violence, but look what people are using it for. As civil discourse breaks down, we will become less free as knee-jerk reactionary laws are quickly signed to appease the mobs. All the while Fox/CNN et all pander to their narrow minded audiences, throwing fuel on the fire.
Which is precisely why I added loads of caveats - "sometimes (not always)", "a sector of society one respects (whoever that may be)", "(depending on what they are)". I haven't seen anyone in this discussion suggest that one should conform to (in your words) "society at large". That's just a straw-man.
Whenever there is a big spike in BTC prices there is a wave of people who catch a case of FOMO.

Like I've said in other threads similar to this - don't invest now just to make a quick buck. You're seeing a temporary price rise and think it will keep going so you want it.

My advice is to buy in only if you actually believe BTC has a future. Play the long game. If you're expecting to buy in now, wait two weeks, and re-sell it for 10x profit you will be disappointed.

Crypto markets are highly volatile. Just take a look at any price graph over the past year for BTC or ETH. Yes the prices have gone up, but it has been a roller coaster week to week.

Only invest what you would spend on a lottery ticket. Chances are you will not become an overnight millionaire. The people who have made huge returns on crypto got in at the earliest stages and held their coins until recently. If you don't have the patience to wait it out, don't bother.

But to answer your question - no it is not too late. Is it too late to start investing in a 401k? Or too late to buy facebook stock? Crypto is a gamble, not a get-rich-quick-scheme. Treat it with caution and back crypto techs you believe in.

So, how does that work with, non-California companies, like Microsoft? Former MS employee joins FB/Google. Now can MS sue them?
Probably because 1) he donates shares (instead of cash) due to tax reasons, and 2) the receiving party needs to sell the MSFT shares to end up with cash.

If he donated his entire stake at once, and everyone started selling, that wouldn't be good for the share price.

> He specifically named KKK, Nazis and white supremacists. But you wouldn't hear about that thanks to your echo bubble.

It took him two days and only after great pressure from people across the political spectrum. From Saturday when he gave his first statement to Monday before he gave the statement you referred to he refused to answer multiple times when he was asked by reporters to condemn white supremacy by name and call the attack an act of terrorism.

But when Merck's CEO resigns from the business council he was able to vehemently attack him and his company on twitter almost immediately. When a terrorist attacked the Louvre in France at 5 am Washington time it took him 3 hours to denounce 'radical Islamic terrorist'. His response to the London attacks also involving terrorists driving a car through crowds was just as swift and specific. But he holds off on calling out the neo-Nazis and KKK by name, disgusting.

Liberals and conservatives have been united in their condemnation of Trump's failure to call out evil by it's name. You are the one living in an echo chamber that is willing to defend white supremacists and their President.

Yes, i remember that. Ragel is still better then a generic programming language for writing parsers, by a long shot. (and cloudbleed was their fault, not ragels)

Writing a parser in a memory-safe language does nothing for it's correctness, as memory safety is not the only security problem. One should use a domain specific language, as simplicity is very important for safety.

That said, THIS ARTICLE DOES NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT HOW TO ACTUALLY WRITE A PARSER !

Many have done that so far in the administration. At a certain point it becomes untenable to stay and give any appearance of support/cooperation.
Honestly I was getting into a lot of fights with my wife (then girlfriend) and I was trying to figure out the cause. I was taking 20 units of upper div math at Berkeley and coffee is just part of the culture (see Erdos). I was more of a green tea or Yerba guy, but I eventually pinpointed it to the caffeine. It saved our relationship, and lucky for me too.. she's one of the good ones.

Caffeine urges me to jump on my impulse and react fast which is not good for a relationship (especially a young relationship) where a little tolerance goes a long way..
This seems like digging at meaningless pedantry now. We are arguing over phrasing and not intent. In almost any corporate or military environment it is extremely common for leaders to blame some external circumstance for the failure of a given project or mission, instead of looking at themselves as the root cause of failure. I think it is "understood" that this is the common definition of "taking" responsibility vs. displacing it to some external entity (a subordinate). This is not about absolution for mistakes but how a leader is the ultimate responsible party for leadership decisions that put subordinates and projects into a box that can define the ultimate success or failure of goals.

Also, if a democratic candidate is your 2nd preference, and you're in a non-safe state, and you don't trust vote trading, you should most likely not vote for a spoiler candidate, and vote for your 2nd preference democratic candidate. If a democrat isn't your 2nd preference, go ahead, do what you want.

The mechanics of the electoral college make this much pragmatism and tactical voting necessary for any American voter I'm afraid.
