In a word: regulation. But I know for many capitalists, regulation is a four letter word that is considered a direct attack on their livelihood.

Should we regulate behavior targeting? Data collection? Advertising nature and reach?
so the trick is not ditching your device access to online stuff, but your physical access. without a cellphone in big urban centers you'd have a tough time moving around. well, I would.

public transport in big us cities are broken down by little cities, which any European would call neighbourhood... and parking in sf and ny is impractical. now you have to know how to transfer between several buses routes, or even if you decide to just take a cab, you must know the cab number for the company for that specific little region you find yourself at. I can't imagine not having a phone with a browser to navigate this mess, obviously designed to limit mobility.
For some history, the Munsell color system was the first attempt to measure color in a perceptually uniform way, with a 3D space on hue, value, and chroma.

> let a = if let Some(x) = check(param0) { x } else { return Err(""); };

That's not DRY at all.

BTW, by stating that Rust has no concept of failure, I meant to say the compiler doesn't have one, as it doesn't know that Err() in a type conveys an error. To automatically unwrap() something, I think it would have to know.

It sounds like you're looking for an opinion piece when what you're actually reading is reporting of facts or human interest stories.
Almost got rear ended on my motorcycle because of this absurd behavior. Guy just blew by me on the right and ran the red light after I stopped. If there was a car parked on my right I would likely ended up on the pavement and likely the hospital. I've lived in MA most of my life but (and especially after spending the last four years in Austin), Boston is some next level bad driving.

I think the most infuriating part about driving in Boston is every week I can feel myself drifting farther and farther from the rules. I always stop at stop signs and red lights. I mean, as a motorcycle rider, you follow the rules or you die. But here, I'm often forced to break the rules so I don't get hit by all the other people breaking the rules. My road-humanity is slowly slipping away.

I always used wonder how people get to be so absolutely terrible at driving. It's not like a minor slip up, a rolling stop here, a cutoff that they feel bad about there. It's this insane either A) extreme aggressiveness and willful disdain for the safety of other drivers around them or B) a complete and utter lack of awareness of where they are in relation to other cars and pedestrians. Usually a mix between the two. But what I realized is a good portion of the drivers around cities like Boston have only ever driven around Boston. They've only ever driven in a place that, due to its layout, is a hodgepodge of hard-to-read intersections, a mish-mash of people who don't know where they're going and people who needed to be where they're going 30 minutes ago and heaven forbid you slow them down by another 2 minutes. They learned the rules of Boston, not the rules of a sane, conscientious, safe driver.

I swear, if all these people rode a motorcycle for a month or took a MSF class, they'd all become much better drivers and realize the heinous unsafe conditions they perpetuate on a daily basis. That or they'd die because that behavior does not work on a motorycle. At least, not for very long.

Functional languages and strongly typed languages are not the same set. Most functional languages focus on typing (e.g. Haskell, Scala), but there are functional languages that do not (e.g. Clojure, Common LISP). You can easily do functional programming in clojure without using any monad concepts directly (though obviously it’s easy to say “that’s just a monad” in a lot of cases).

IMO the biggest win from functional programming is referential transparency. Automated verification (i.e. type checking) can definitely be useful on larger projects with bigger teams since it’s self documenting. That’s just my personal take on it though - there’s plenty for everyone to like.

There is a false dichotomy posed by the juxtaposition, and folks have been arguing "communism v. capitalism" ever since.

The only difference is the scale of the hierarchy. Capitalists are dictators of the four walls of their enterprise. Communists just scaled the size of the enterprise up to a point where the Coase theorem is working against it.

Neither say anything about individual or popular sovereignty. And as I think we're just starting to see (and will see more of, as the US declines), late-stage capitalism taken to an extreme is no more attractive than the USSR was.

As for the constant "pretty idea that doesn't work" ideological mantra, that requires either defining away China or taking on predictive debt that sounds little different than an earnest Bolshevik did 100 years ago.
Toyota also had profits of billions of dollars from other lines to back their Hybrid model.

Tesla is basically a really big startup, and has nowhere near the cash reserve to take 6 years to bring the model 3 to market. It it basically get it out NOW, or fold. In 6 years Ford etc. etc. already has a model 3 equivalent for sale and knows how to manufacture. You can't play it so safe in an established market if you want to dive in.

Wich type of earplugs? I use the common type and my ears are sore at morning.
I guess we're wandering a bit from the topic, but I used to feel the same way about, of all things, that childhood pastime of spinning around with your arms out. I spent more time than I'm comfortable specifying believing that every revolution put me in a slightly different universe, and that in order to get back, I'd have to perform exactly as many counter-revolutions in the opposite direction.

While this may sound insanely OCD, I remember thinking that I didn't have to get the number of counter-revolutions exactly right -- within a half-dozen or so should be "good enough".

I guess I was an imaginative child.
For me, it started with an antidepressant (escitalopram, commonly called Lexapro) and weekly visits with a therapist. The escitalopram did wonders for my particular depression. I have dysthymia (also called persistent depressive disorder, I forget which is the official name now) which means I experience ongoing, low-level daily melancholy (as opposed to clinical depression/major depression, which is much more episodic in nature -- you have weeks you just can't get out of bed or eat, and you have weeks when you're pretty much fine). So for me, escitalopram did a ton to even out my daily melancholy and limit mood swings -- I still have good and bad days but my baseline is much closer to neutral rather than consistently feeling down in the dumps.

And then as I talked to my therapist over time she uncovered symptoms of ADHD that I'd never really thought about. There's a lot of debate about whether adult-onset ADHD exists, but her perspective (which seems very accurate in my case) is that people with "adult-onset" ADHD have actually had it their entire lives as well, but they had better coping mechanisms so it wasn't diagnosed at a young age. I was always a good student, rarely got in trouble, could sit still in the classroom -- but I had a terrible time trying to focus on work, I fidget constantly, I always have multiple trains of thought in my head. I'm just also a pretty fast worker and fairly smart so I was able to be unfocused and put things off to the last second but eventually lock it in just in time to beat the deadline. My therapist administered a diagnostic test (basically a multiple choice test asking about how often I experience X, Y, and Z, and a similar test sent to a close friend to be completed separately about their perceptions of me) and it turned out that I do have ADHD. So she started me on Ritalin which has also helped me immensely. I'm able to focus and be productive on a regular basis (rather than in brief but manic spurts) and it also helps my overall mood, because I'm not constantly getting down on myself for being unable to focus on something important. (That's what it means for my ADHD/depression to be "comorbid" -- they feed into each other.)

It's worth noting that this is just my particular combination of neurodivergences and treatment plan. Different people experience success with different treatments, including various medications, ongoing/regular talk therapy, lifestyle changes, etc. But the one constant is that I've never met a single person whose life has gotten worse because they talked to someone about their mental health. It's a lifelong journey but in my experience the needle only moves in one direction and it starts with opening up to someone.
You start out with great intentions but then you realize quickly that you have no authority at all. We had problems with our JIRA setup so I tried to buy a few hours with a consultant to set it up correctly. This request got declined so it was clear to the devs that I couldn't help with things. The only thing you have is tracking hours.
I've never made a change in my life with the conscious purpose to become more productive. But there have been a couple of periods in my life when my productivity was higher, so it was tempting to examine what circumstances were present that could explain those good times.

I have no positive answers. It's more like I am usually very productive as long as there's not some circumstances that slow me. Actually it's very easy to find the causes for my lack of productivity: illness, family problems or toxic workplace.

So my advice is: get the monkey off your back and forget the details.
>For IO what you would need to learn is that all IO actions are values of the `IO` type and they can be sequenced together for guaranteed ordering using the `do` notation. That's it. No monads. We can introduce monads after we show using the same `do` notation for lists, `Maybe`s, and `IO`.

This is an awkward teaching approach. Forcing learners to use advanced concepts without fully understanding them. Why can't haskell just have a print function that returns a void? How come when I use haskell with input it starts polluting the input with this IO thing? This all seems stupid initially and it takes a lot of learning to understand why things are done this way.... I mean that person I know thinks javascript is better than haskell because console.log("hello") is ten times more straightforward.
I vouched this comment.

I'm sure it was dinged for not using mild-mannered business vocabulary to describe the former workplace. But I've seen some form of this play out in real life enough times to tell your assessment probably isn't too far off, and you were right to get out of there.

Finding someone that's actually dedicated and not just willing to say "dedication" in an interview needs a position that won't burn them out, or the knowledge of when to quit. Having neither is a disaster waiting to happen.
That's kind of my point. Usually when you're just learning "general functional programming", you're thinking about, say, (+) as a function that takes two numbers, and returns a number, because you're at the stage of figuring out how something like

fold (+) 0 [1,2,3]

works. Introducing "Semiring" as a concept at the same time can be a bit much for a beginner!

I do think it's a useful concept, and that Purescript is an excellent, intermediate-level FP language.
It's not the hospital, it's the doctors and other healthcare workers that enable it...

see how easy it is to pass blame around? I see your point, but whose fault is it really? They couldn't charge that much if the health care workers didn't agree to it.
Meal prep once a week.

Once a week I roast ~8 chicken quarters (I quarter whole chickens). M-Th the only meals i eat are 2-4 cups of mixed salad and 1/4 chicken. Takes about 1 hour to prep, saves about 6 hours of time per week.

Intentionally do less.
I frequently trim back all the things I think I "have" to do and realize they're not worth the marginal time. This includes things like cleaning my apartment (once a month instead of once a week). Checking email besides when I find my self waiting for something else (like an elevator or coffee). I also try to keep this mentality with development. I try to code the least thing and get it shipped so that we can improve it if/when someone ever uses it. The vast majority of P0 Must have CEO direct features have been largely untouched and thus I now just do the bare minimum on things so we can get the data to know where to focus real effort.

Trying to catch panics in Rust is best-effort only: see https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/panic/fn.catch_unwind.html . It's pretty strongly discouraged for general exception handling. You can check, but I have a feeling that stack unwinding requires some heap allocations, in which case an OOM panic will cause a double panic and force an abort, and thus cannot be caught.

The proper solution in Rust is to use the Result type.

As for what Linux does: it will invoke the "OOM Killer" which will kill user processes to clean up space.

Two years after Mozilla Foundation was announced in 2003, the Mozilla Corporation was announced. It engages in commerce and it keeps profits. It is responsible for paying taxes.

"'The formation of the Mozilla Corporation gives the Mozilla Foundation new capabilities for becoming even more successful in delivering innovative open source end-user products," said Mitchell Baker, president of Mozilla Corporation. "The Mozilla Corporation is not a typical commercial entity. Rather, it is dedicated to the public benefit goal at the heart of the Mozilla project, which is to keep the Internet open and available to everyone.'

The broad adoption of Mozilla Firefox has created significant economic value both in Firefox itself and in a commercial ecosystem that is developing around Firefox."

http://www.mozilla.org/press/mozilla-2005-08-03.html

Is the delivery of "end-user products" not the source of revenues for the Corporation? What if all those products are delivered for free? Then where do the revenues come from?

Giving away free software while still producing significant revenues from commerce seems to resemble the other corporations that deliver web browsers and other free web software. Regarding those companies, it has been said that "Users are the product".

Note I am not implying anyone has done anything wrong. Each party is expected to pursue its own self-interest. Freedom of choice is a necessary component of an "Internet that is open and available to everyone".

These are just some facts that I believe could be relevant to users who are not interested in marketing user data or the advertising sales ecosystem.

Why did "He was unable to tune to their radio frequency for communications. But this ingenious pilot lowered a wire from his aircraft and dragged it across the bow of the minesweeper, the USS Embattle. The minesweeper captain understood the plea, and veered off at top speed in my direction.)" work?

Did they just figure out something was wrong or is dragging a wire a common naval code?

Huh. Even if there's a power law distribution, I don't think that explains more than half being negative.

And even if it did, you're only taking the perspective of investors of the acquirer. From many other perspectives, like that of founders, employees, and customers, those numbers are exactly as bad as they look.

As an aside, I think it's egregious to credit NeXT with 600B value add. What they actually bought, aside from making Jobs feel successful, was a decent replacement for their desktop OS. So you can possibly credit the Mac sales from circa 2000 on. But the iPod had nothing to do with NeXT. iOS had a little to do with NeXT, but not a ton. If they had bought BeOS, I don't think the path would have been materially different.

Although I'm in favour of the law in general, I really dislike the 'stunt driving' name. I'm not sure that many (or any) of the offences covered under the law really qualify as stunts. Dumb and dangerous, yes, but not stunts.

Call this law something else, and save 'stunt drving' for people who drive their cars on two wheels and other related craziness. :)

I did a tandem jump from 10,000 ft when I was a teenager. We exited the plane while flying through clouds (which is illegal IIRC) and tumbled out of control for the entire free fall period before the chute opened.

The exit was my fault. To initiate a jump, the pilot would count down from three and then scream "GO". With the door open it was very difficult to hear. Clouds were forming and we had already aborted twice, with my partner pulling us back into the plane each time.

On the third attempt I misread the shouts and hand signals and exited the plane before "GO". I was taller and heavier than my tandem partner so he probably had no choice.

We tumbled into thick, gray clouds. Without a horizon this made me nauseous. My partner was screaming from the moment we left the plane. I'd catch a word or two but most of his instruction was lost to the wind. We were totally out of control.

We exited the cloud still tumbling, my partner still screaming. I remember the chute opening, but we were never properly in control.

The next few minutes were glorious, though still nauseous, and the landing was uneventful.

I didn't think much of the consequences back then... But no more skydiving for me :-)

Nobody has a problem with regulation, we all want a better life for ourselves and our families. The problem is bad regulation, often by politicians without experience or knowledge while operating on favors and donations against the greater good.

Europe in general has led the way with privacy and data rights and we're starting to see similar movements in the US now to fix some of the major problems.
You're definitely correct that yield signs make it harder to be a pedestrian–most American cities are awful for pedestrians to begin with, outside of a small core downtown area. Even intersections with proper crosswalks and lights are often massively wide with no middle refuge, have traffic crossing the crosswalk from multiple directions/lanes and poor sight lines, require multiple long waits at lights to cross all the various lanes etc.

There seems to be a growing use of traffic circles (with yield signs) in the US, which are very much like playing real life Frogger as a pedestrian: cars coming quickly around the circle, often not 100% comfortable with how it works, watching for cars around them instead of paying attention to people crossing at the exits. In a busy intersection you sort of have to step out and try to get someone to stop for you or dash across a gap in traffic–a firm stop required for cars makes for a much more pleasant crossing.
I think Python is a wonderful language to teach functional programming since it is so accessible for many definitions. One has to go a little off the rails to get all the functional features, but it is possible.

> We have a hard law that states, speed limit.

There is not a hard law that states speed limit at least in California; instead the law sets 'reasonable and prudent' as the limit, and that lawfully set and posted or legislated limits set forth evidence of what is reasonable and prudent. Driving over 100 mph is separately off limits, however. (I would rarely find that speed to be reasonable or prudent!).

A self-driving vehicle would likely be recording evidence of conditions which could show that the speed was reasonable and prudent given the conditions, which include other traffic on the road.

The basic California speed law is:

> 22350. No person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of, the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property.

It is furthered by:

> 22351. (b) The speed of any vehicle upon a highway in excess of the prima facie speed limits in Section 22352 or established as authorized in this code is prima facie unlawful unless the defendant establishes by competent evidence that the speed in excess of said limits did not constitute a violation of the basic speed law at the time, place and under the conditions then existing.

Additionally section 22348 describes a specific additional infraction for driving at a speed greater than 100 miles per hour.

I don't think that I have ever seen any colo-provider which did any meaningful monitoring of traffic on their datacenter-wide customer facing ethernet networks. Usually they struggle to sort out operational issuess caused by misconfigured customer hardware (eg. duplicate IPs or non-converging STP due to incompatible configuration of customer's switch), much less have capability do detect or even prevent targeted attack.
