Rain affects signal strength, which means you can measure it

Some newer networks are sufficiently sensitive that they can detect humidity and fog, both of which are predictors of imminent rain.

Ruby has one packaging format that is essentially unchanged since 2004: RubyGems. There have been improvements in making it easier to convert a gem to a native package since then (even though I think that’s a fool’s errand), but the fundamental packaging system hasn’t changed (although indexing and serving has).

well, i'm kind of surprised that decriminalization of prostitution included decriminalization of pimps. To me it is an area where agency of a service provider should be protected (similar to how it is protected in law and medicine, even if for a different reason).
I'm always amazed that people are still working on new text editors. When I have an idea for an app and I see there's even only one alternative I usually loose all motivation for coding this app (until I realize the alternative doesn't fulfill my need).

> The PhD system is a Ponzi scheme. First and foremost, a PhD program trains one to become a professor. During a professor career, one is expected to graduate 5, 10, 20 PhD students.

In the US at least, a substantial proportion of professors teach at institutions that are undergrad-only or where only some departments have graduate programs. I am a tenured professor of computer science and have not supervised any graduate-level research (nor will I be expected to do so).

...which is not to say that the numbers aren't all messed up. They are. And I've had many lucky breaks (and also some unlucky ones) to get where I am. But your Ponzi claim presumes that the only outcome of a PhD is an R1 professor position, which is not the case.
but this article was about, "sex-positive liberal feminism"?

if you read the article, she is against what happened in NZ where decriminalization also included decriminalizing the pimps/johns, who are essentially forcing the women they hire in the brothels to work to do "anything" for a set price.
Elm is nowhere near Haskell or Scala in expressibility. You would have to compare Purescript/GHCJS/ScalaJS. In the native Haskell/Scala land I usually don't have to do much ceremony and the functional code is succinct and a pleasure to write. They may lack the all powerful macros of LISPs but the need to reach for a macro seldom arises.

The original point wasn't about code size it was about bugs and I was surprised to see Clojure doing better than the very strongly typed ones. Hence the comment on the smartness of Clojure people ;)
That's because it's a NextJS app, so comes with SSR for free and works if you disable JS.

Had an assignment in functional programming which was to implement a text editor, an interesting data structure was provided.

Buffer of X is a BackwardsList of X, Cursor X, ForwardsList of X

So if you make Line a Buffer of char and your document a Buffer of Line you can easily insert and remove characters on a line or lines in the document.

If you wanted to move the cursor forwards you could just place the cursor onto the head of the backwards list behind you and take the head off the forwards list in front of you to be your cursor.
The topic of prostitution seems to come up regularly on HN for some reason, and in general the comments defend the use of prostitutes and argue for its legalisation. It is refreshing to see a small break in this pattern.

I will agree that there are a lot of really smart people in the Clojure community, but that is also true in other communities. Some of the most brilliant developers I know are hard-core C++ guys.

The original point about bugs is in my opinion, regarding my comment you replied to, very similar to a discussion about code size. There are some great reads [0] that go into further depth on this issue, if you are curious.

I think the point is that this approach is meant to reduce the effect of ego and allow the other person an easier way to change their position.

All public differences of opinion involve ego, status and other emotional states. It's a case of finding a way to lessen their effect on all parties (oneself included).
helps the rapist?
Everyone must have the complete right to do what they want with their own body, so long as they are not hurting anyone else. No person (especially government) should ever be telling you what you can and can't do with your body.

But let's say we could get pasted the ethical boundary of controlling peoples rights over their own body. Making prostitution illegal does nothing to protect the legitimate women (and men) in the industry. By making it illegal you force people who want to work in the industry to have little to no legal rights:
- If a client rapes or performs unagreed/unconsenting actions, there is no legal place to go for help
- If a consenting prostitute discovers trafficking they are unlikely to report it because they have a distrust of the police
- Legitimate people who would want/enjoy being in this industry stay out, making unground businesses resort to trafficking and abductions.

We already have a legal system capable of protecting and punishing those who kidnap, rape, abuse, molest and hurt other people. All criminalisation of any industry does is prevent participants from receiving government protection.
Your point is quite interesting although I'm not sure running LDA on the entire code would be useful. I spent half a year writing my postgraduate thesis on a recommender systems for streaming services based on LDA, in particular we wanted to infer who is watching what and when in a shared account.
From all the tests I did with LDA I believe the best thing would be to run it on the README files.

> They should! Why aren’t they!?!?! Somebody needs to make that a markdown extension. Every time you want to insert an indexed footnote, you type [^#]

Probably because there's no elegant way to support all the potential edge cases of that default behavior. For instance, if you introduced a reference with that format, you can't refer to it later - if you use the static number and it changes, you're now pointing to the wrong reference. So it reduces to using names, and the hassle of coming up with a name for each new link or footnote reduces to just using numbers - so the only thing that needs to be supported is manually named or numbered items.

The author correctly describes the ideal solution - a plugin that replaces unnamed links before saving or such - but likely fails to understand why that (as opposed to adding behavioral cruft to a markup language) is the correct level of abstraction for such a solution. Imagine if a project like wikipedia was riddled with the ambiguity of dozens of people's various attempts to wrangle the autonumbering to their writing.
This is one of my favorite things to do on the train while on the way to work. I select two random passing objects out the window, and use a general assumption about the train's speed. Then I visualize these objects on a toroidal space, and after a few minutes, I draw the rest of the owl.
"What if you can do it, but you're not certain of all the possible modes of failure over a decade of use in people's garages?

You aren't serious, right?
This is not a new thing to be thinking about. You should be certain of all the possible modes of failure over a decade of use.
Otherwise, as the comment said, you shouldn't be allowed to participate in the market.
This isn't new secret whizbang technology. The only major difference is battery type. If Tesla doesn't know enough to know what may happen there over a decade of use, ...
Which is a common deal strategy like in any other business, except the product here is a human being. It's a really fine line being trod. In something so much at the emotional edge, it's probably very hard to find a common and balanced solution that works for all individuals – both prostitutes and porn stars seem to have quite diverting opinions themselves.
I can't really agree on any of the given reasons.

re 1) The assumed unworthiness is reading to much into it. Plenty of people point out previous posts. These are both good to read previous comments, and also to assess the spamminess of the post/poster -- how much this is so is up to the readers themselves to decide. I'm glad if someone has done the research for me already.

re 2) Does matter, see previous.

re 3) HN is a public forum, not a workplace.
I'd like to know what sort of monitoring Tesla does before arguing either way.

If they are actively monitoring for devices that are about to catch fire, and if so will call the fire department to come to your house, and your neighbours to evacuate, then sure it makes sense - but I assume they are just monitoring 'usage analytics', and the fault detection could work just as safely by shutting off the device and prompting the user for action, as another comment suggested.

It's the same with their cars, although having a constant connection to HQ allows faults to be diagnosed quicker, I'd rather it just show a check engine light and go to a dealer (oh wait...).
Victorian Era Handcuff Bracelets for Engagements and Marriage
A decade ago, San Francisco had a ballot initiative, Proposition K (2008) to decriminalize prostitution. [1] It got 41% of the vote and failed to pass.

The trouble with the New Zealand law [2] is that it empowers brothel operators. There's a presumption in the law that sex workers must work for a brothel. That put sex workers in a weak bargaining position. Nevada is like that, too. The UK, though, allows prostitution but not pimps or brothels. So it's all phone and Internet based.

(I had this explained to me by one of the people behind Prop. K, a high-end call girl who was also a labor organizer. Definitely not a victim. She wanted to empower sex workers, not pimps. But she was having a hard time getting that message across. At the city level, all they could do was reduce the level of police harassment, not fully legalize sex work. So they couldn't really make rules for sex work.)

An individual's personal journey falls some way short of a rationale for public policy.

Policy in this area surely has to focus on harm minimisation rather than ideal worlds. The question to ask isn't if decriminalisation doesn't do any harm; it's whether it is better than criminalisation.
I believe, sadly, it's the latter.

They are also required by law (IIRC) to include more and more invasive black boxes in the cars anyway.

So i guess they figure they might as well use the data.

Intellectual Property and Practical Reason
First to file - this means that they are happy to allow patents where they are obvious. This undercuts any actual justification for the patent. Hence, making them not worthy of being patented.

If a patent doesn't promote progress then why allow it?

Patents are issued with a patent number, hence I can't see what your problem is in understanding what this means?
I wholeheartedly agree. If you live in Tuscany, you can buy wonderful vino sfuso from 2014/2015 at €2/liter in a small local shop. But there is no chance you could taste anything similar at the same price in the USA.
I would be OK if the black box is just that: a black box. A data source that can only be accessed via physical connection does not concern me. But 24/7 data transmission to manufacturer's severs is way too 1984 for my taste.
It sounds like a good way? Yes, I agree intuitively it sounds reasonable, but that alone is not considered a best practice.

Why do we all work so hard to go by good data in our real work, but when it comes to interviewing someone we’re encouraged to just wing it, or use our best judgement? Careers can be affected with this stuff, and bad hiring decisions in either direction can hurt an organization.

There is research done on hiring but the learnings are slow to benefit the practice. General intelligence is one of the strongest indicators, but not gotcha trick puzzle questions. Work samples are predictive, but again, approach is everything. Track record of past success (when that applies) is important.

This is not my field so I struggle like everyone else to keep up with what’s right. It just burns me that such litttle rigor is typically applied to something so important.

Maybe it’s because interviewing is just one of those topics that seem easy, like, nutrition - most people think they know a lot more about it than they really do.
In aggregate over long time (multiple generations), not so much.
Genetics optimized a global equation after all.

The problem is that we might lack enough time for this to work.
Well the American version of Donald Trump is not silenced as silencing people is not the American way. In short it doesn't matter who he is or what he does, we don't like big internet companies silencing people to appease censoring governments.

I've worked at Sabre some time ago and we used feature flags intensively.

Feature was enabled/disabled using our own configuration server (which was used to configure many other things) - it was basically a dynamic file with booleans, that we could turn on/off.
After the feature was released we removed the if statement from the code.
People sign contracts for terrible work conditions all the time, is that a reason to make one specific industry criminal? And this is before mentioning that a contract that specifies "everything" as the job description renders the industry irrelevant - if an accountant signs an employment contract that includes "everything" in the job description then technically that also includes prostitution, coal mining, deep-sea diving, assassinations etc.

> I still think there is value in using languages that eliminate entire classes of bugs though, for example using a language that has automatic memory management is a no-brainer except for certain specific domains where you need to do memory management yourself. Likewise with static typing: it eliminates type bugs.

In practice, it's not so simple. It probably holds for garbage collection (assuming GC is suitable for your application domain), but static type systems come with costs. There's plenty of evidence (via studies) that type annotations are really valuable as documentation, but the argument for bug prevention is less clear. Most bugs that are caught by static type systems are also generally prevented by other approaches (because they're basically clerical errors that you hit fast even during basic testing). Conversely, there are plenty of real bugs that aren't caught by type systems (or only by type systems that are essentially full-fledged specification languages, or by putting lots of work into types).

While there's a huge difference between having a validation strategy for your code and not having a validation strategy at all (or winging it), it's much more difficult to assess the relative value of different validation strategies, especially once you take costs into account.
> Well, your portability for Windows and Linux is just from the JVM no?

No, there is a native binary executable for Windows and a corresponding one for Linux. There is no Java embedded in or required by those, although separately (!) I also target Java, in addition to Windows and Linux. (I knew I should have used more parentheses in that post.)

> If you had to rewrite everything you were using Swing for, that's a lot of rewrite.

Yeah, but there is no Swing on the web, so what can you do? We used to have Swing, in the form of applets, and it was horrible. If you want something to work well on the web, you have to write it for the web. (But you can write it in Kotlin!)

Again, there is no Java when you target JS. Instead you can use any JS API and any JS library. The Kotlin standard library provides some basic data structures, math functions, etc. No Java.

> if they add native WxWidget and say QT to Kotlin native, it would slowly tend towards what Haxe has going.

wxWidgets and Qt happen to be in C++, which is difficult to use from other languages, but you can use any C-based library from Kotlin/Native, such as GTK+ or the native Win32 API.

8 performance hacks for JavaScript
It makes it sound like the customers are some clearly identifiable and reachable group of people all gathering outside just waiting for you to go talk to them.

For some businesses that may to some degree be the case. For many businesses that is not the case, although their customers can be defined they may not be easily or cheaply reachable. They may not all fall under the same category despite all sharing some fundamental problems for which the company is providing a solution.

So casually saying "just go talk to your customers" is about as helpful as saying "just go build your business".
But to maintain a functional safe state, you do not need Internet access. If you need Internet access to maintain a functional safe state, then you are doing it wrong.

There is also no reason at all to make availability depending on Internet access. Especially, when you are providing a solution that is intended for a self-contained, self-sufficient use case: "Make" power, store power, use power.
If it's a niche market, low prices is rarely a viable approach because you won't have a lot of volume. Also, all the info you have about app stores and revenue are based on the total mass, or on the top-100 lists, and niche apps fall completely outside of it. There are actually a few narrow categories where you can get away with a high price.
Again, neither Zuck nor I are Chinese, I don't think you can use Chinese culture at all as a benchmark here. I'm sure Zuck knows less about Chinese culture than I do, especially since his wife is American born, and he never lived and worked in china for an extended period of time.
