I have almost the same feeling as you: I'd love most of the Lua more with zero indexing and more of C like syntax (without these "end" literals, I really like C math-formula-like minimalism). I don't care however if arrays and dicts are the same behind the scenes.
I think you'd be surprised, even operating systems, the canonical unsafe activity, has a relatively low percentage of unsafe code. For example, https://doc.redox-os.org/book/introduction/unsafes.html says

> A quick grep gives us some stats: the kernel has about 70 invocations of unsafe in about 4500 lines of code overall.
Perhaps, but I expect you become a leader of such a project only after you've already accomplished a lot.
It is fairly easy to configure Facebook notifications the way you want them to be (for example, I want to know when someone logs into my account, but nothing else). I post on my timeline less than once a month, and receive no notifications. Not to defend Facebook, but notifications are hardly its biggest annoyance.

I don't like either one. "clientless remote desktop gateway" is way too long and cumbersome. But it seems like, recognizing that, the answer was $(shuf -n 1 /usr/share/dict/words), resulting in a generic commonplace word with no relationship to the project at all.

I agree however then I reminded myself I shouldn't reuse passwords and ended up using unique passwords everywhere I remembered I reused passwords. A password manager makes it feasible to do that. Also enabled 2FA as much as I could (pref with an application on phone, otherwise SMS).

> One sees plenty of news on the downsides, but on the other hand the lack of security has also enabled console homebrew, iOS jailbreaking, Android rooting, and a bunch of other creatively liberating activities which involve doing something not officially sanctioned.

On the other hand, without the pervasive vulnerabilities enabling this hacking, we might have been more motivated to enact a legal framework to require companies to permit people to hack devices they own.
> No comment.

But why? You were able to "comment" on the work of Felleisen and colleagues on contracts, declaring their effort of many years useless, yet you can't answer why did you do it?

Your utter lack of respect for people who happen to hold an opinion different than yours is typical, in my experience, for static-typing fans; as is your apparent - and wrong - belief that static typing was proven to be "better" (for some value(s) of "better") than dynamic typing.

There are certain groups of people where the above traits are overrepresented. I think there is a high probability that preference for static-typing correlates positively with belonging to these groups - and I wrote that much. Is that really a "slander"?

Sorry for focusing on that part, but your 0-2 points are too wrong to correct in a few paragraphs, and I don't have the time for writing more than this.
At the time Facebook was created, there was a lot of talk about how private organizations already had such dossiers on the general public. Facebook is more like the "tip of the iceberg". At least it gives users some control over how they are presented (though less and less every day as they filter timelines and use our names to endorse their ads)

I think reasonable people could disagree with both points you could be making here:

(1) That marijuana or payday loans are immoral.

(2) Something that is _debateably_ bad should be avoided, even if you've resolved that debate to your satisfaction.

If you reject both of those (I do), then I'm not sure what the concern is.
The thing with frameworks like this is that the time invested could be lost if the framework looses traction. I am very hesitant to use a framework like this for anything serious and business-oriented.
One could argue that the 1984 Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of the W and Z Bosons, given to Carlo Rubbia, was more for his leadership of the UA1 Collaboration at CERN. His co-winner, van der Meers, actually developed the technology to make colliding protons and anti-protons possible. The theory behind the W and Z was already given a Nobel Prize in 1979.

EDIT: Rubbia is an interesting character in himself that some have said was a bit of an egomaniac and obsessed with getting a Nobel prize for himself. For a highly entertaining biography on him, as well as a look into the academic politics of a place like CERN, I recommend "Nobel Dreams" by Gary Taubes.
In Haskell a ZipList has not much to do with a zipper, if memory serves right. It's just a newtype wrapper around a normal list to get a different Applicative instance.
FPGAs own low latency computation (less than 1 microsecond) because GPUs really need 3-20 microseconds to initialize after a kernel launch. This is why they're used instead of GPUs at the front line of high frequency trading. When I was at a hedge fund, I tried in vain to get Nvidia to do something about this based on the unofficial work of another former Nvidia employee implying this could be improved dramatically.

All that said, these are golden years to be a low-level programmer who understands parallel algorithms whether you work in Tech or at a hedge fund because there just aren't that many of us.

But the real problem with FPGAs is that even if they find another lucrative application where they excel relative to GPUs, Nvidia can simply dedicate transistors in their next GPU family to erasing that advantage as they did with 8-bit and 16-bit MAD instructions in Pascal and with the tensor cores in Volta. Too bad they don't care about latency or I believe they could disrupt FPGAs from HFT in a year or two when someone started using them and started winning.
GitPitch looks very useful. Love the code walkthrough feature.

Upward mobility? Research came out 3-4 years ago I believe that showed that social mobility no longer existed in the US. It is normally measured by how many people die in a different tax bracket from their parents. As of a few years ago, that simply wasn't happening. If you were born to poor parents, you die poor. If you were born to rich parents, you die rich. On the overall statistical scale, there is no mobility.
Calm down! Nobody mentioned children yet!

What do we know of the world and the universe about us? Our means of receiving impressions are absurdly few, and our notions of surrounding objects infinitely narrow. We see things only as we are constructed to see them, and can gain no idea of their absolute nature. With five feeble senses we pretend to comprehend the boundlessly complex cosmos, yet other beings with wider, stronger, or different range of senses might not only see very differently the things we see, but might see and study whole worlds of matter, energy, and life which lie close at hand yet can never be detected with the senses we have.

Oh that's not what I was implying, sorry for the confusion. I meant an open source, portable HDL compiler/synthesizer like what GCC/LLVM are for software. As the parent and many others point out in this thread the tooling is a really sore point for FPGA development. It's always big, clunky, often buggy closed source applications (often running on an unhealthy dose of Tcl scripts cobbled together).

And of course if you change supplier you have to relearn everything or pay for an other third-party closed source solution to abstract some of the differences between the environments of Xilinx, Altera/IntelFPGA and friends.

If you use persistent data structures in your implementation (like would be the default in Haskell), your data structures themselves don't need to know about undo/redo. Just keep references to the old state around (in an undo tree or a linear structure for simplicity), and just switch back to them if necessary. Don't explicitly manipulate your data structures. Sharing will take care of keeping the overheads low.

After seeing this, and thinking through what I wrote yesterday, I have a bit of a different take. I don't like the style transfers of famous art-piece, to user-provided image. A skin-deep transfer of the look of Van Gogh, or Katsushika Hokusai, or Renoir, or whatever doesn't make art (in my opinion).

I realize these tools are just a proofs-of-concept, which is something I forgot yesterday. What I'd like to be able to do is style transfer between arbitrary images, whether it's my own work or that of others. That would open up the creative possibilities.

Ya the weird case we ran into with the dict / list was when unmarshaling some JSON which had an empty list `[]` then marshaling it back to JSON you end up with `{}`. Which is pretty broken and given the prevalence of JSON as an on the wire format is seriously disappointing.

Not sure if there's an easy fix to that apart from using `null` instead of empty lists.

I don't understand how Microsoft and Apple are so bad at partitioning.

I've never used a partitioning tool as stable, easy to use, or featureful as GParted; not for lack of trying. A long time ago, I concluded that a simple live cd with GParted is the only sane way to do any partitioning, and I have yet to find any evidence to the contrary.

I can always not take the risk until there's actually a reason.

Tests can't establish the absence of bugs the way Rust can. You only think your C code is reliable, you don't actually know that it's reliable. Rust only appears harder because of the latent bugs in your C program that you're not aware of.
