The wealthy buy drugs from people who drive nice sports sedans and wear suits, or similar. They aren't down at the crack house giving blowjobs for dime bags.

Some of the biggest stashes of drugs, that I have seen, have been inside what you'd probably call a mansion. No, this wasn't dealers. This was for personal consumption and/or to be consumed by their guests.

Those guests may well have included people who work in the judicial system, by the way.

Just read the Wikipedia for Anarchism[1] and feel that it correctly reflects what it means. The one thing that is striking with the article's definition of anarchist is that it seem to refer to anarcho-capitalism (similar to neoliberalism) more than actual anarchism. It at least paints Laufer as a hypocrite if he were to identify as a "true" anarchist since "Anarchism is usually considered a far-left ideology" (Wiki).
See the references to upperclass restaurants and upperclass behaviour such as drinking champagne and eating scallops at pricey restaurants.

A common misinterpretation of the term is believing that anarcho-capitalists and anarchists are the same, they're not. They're more often opposites.

I do think reviews are reliable source of current situation of a company, I trust negatives ones more than the positives. Its not just for glassdoor but for any reviews that you see on yelp,google or fb. I sift through the negative reviews and try to find a common factor in the reviews, that would be a way to validate the review.

I trust negative reviews more because if I had a good experience, I don't have any incentive at all to login to a webpage, create credentials if its needed and then go through the myriad of steps to post a positive review. But on the other hand, if I had a bad experience, the only way to vent it out is by giving them a bad review. I am willing to go through the hoops of signups and surveys so that I post that one bad review about the service. There is an incentive for me there.

Tailpiece: There are many services that you can purchase to write positive reviews for your company/service. The trend to identify this is that whenever there is a negative review, it gets buried by a bunch of near 5 star positive reviews, mostly with a one liner review text.
>Each well-known pattern has its own applicability and use cases, which have been analyzed and described very well. I wonder, what makes you think, that all of it should be dismissed?

The GoF Design Patterns appeared after the GoF observed that these patterns happened in some C++ code, and thus they decided to formalize them and document them.

All fine.

The question is why did these patterns appear? Because programmers need to overcome the shortcomings of whatever programming language they are using.

Other languages don't have the shortcomings of C++ or Java, thus, many of the GoF patterns simply don't apply or aren't needed.

Another topic is that the patterns force the person to behave as a compiler; that is, to manually create abstractions that should be supported by the language in the first place.

Languages with metaprogramming, like the Lisp family of languages, avoid the burden of having to do this. You can just program the abstraction as a macro once, and then apply it repeatedly whenever you want, without having to write more lines of code.

I will give an alternative explanation why people fear terrorism:

Falling from a ladder also kills more people than terrorism, right, but this is not what people are afraid of. Watch this to understand that we're talking about two different distributions: https://youtu.be/9dKiLclupUM?t=367

Terrorism SUDDENLY increases the odds of you being killed by it. And that is what - rightfully - scares people. Example: Before 9/11 the chances of being killed by terrorism was let's say 0.000000.....1%. After 9/11 the chance SUDDENLY increased a hundredfold. That change in probability never ever happened in the distributions of car-accidents, being shot in the US or falling ladders.

In essense a decorator /is/ a function. Objects (OO) make this more complicated by wrapping objects inside objects.

In functional programming you still use concepts like decorators, adapters, strategy. But they’re more natural to use and don’t require lots of explanation like with objects.

In modern Java your decorators can simply be a Function type.

> A cyclist could kill a pedestrian as well in an unfortunate accident, should we treat that as a crime?

Yeah, probably. If you're operating a dangerous piece of equipment the onus is on you to do it safely. Bikes are more dangerous than shoes, cars are more dangerous than bikes, and commercial vehicles are more dangerous than cars.

It's not actually that difficult to drive safely around cyclists. Go the speed limit, pay attention, and don't pass unless you can do so safely. Yes, this means sometimes you will go 15 in a 45mph zone for a couple of blocks. If someone finds that burdensome enough to risk killing someone else then I have no problem calling that criminal neglect.
I think i must cite hellofunk's [HN user] comment on Design Patterns, perhaps the best comment i've read regarding this topic:

"Lisp in general is about exploring a particular problem using only the constraints of that problem, without concern for how different problems get solved. By contrast, design patterns are about forcing a common solution onto a range of different problems."
The OC says "Drivers should expect younger cyclists to behave unexpected". I don't expect normal cyclists to do 'random' unexpected things. But when I see a 'L' board, I am just more aware. This works exactly like street signs asking how to tread with extra care.
It's a neat idea. I don't use Facebook, but I'd be open to a sort of social network based around the idea of a local profile that each individual sets and controls. Why is it a single big brick of a service that everyone must connect to and publish through?

Why not make profiles something modular that can be easily published and shared online, but also in a 'mesh network' setting where you publish and receive from devices within your general vicinity.

The profile should be a bundle of data about the individual, published by the individual. More of a standard than a service. There could be 3rd-party services to scrape and store what pepople publish. There could be 3rd-party services to produce nice cookie-cutter profiles, like resume templates. Services for hosting, collating, searching, viewing profiles. And people could have loads of different profiles for different parts of their lives, and separate them as much or little as they feel like. But at the core of things, the profile would belong to the User.
If you have a chance, please try again. UTF-8 support is added.
I'd love to read a writeup on your experience doing this.

I love Clojure, and really don't like the Elixir syntax (though I used to dislike the Clojure syntax, so...) Have you found Elixir's oddities (like calling lambdas in a different way than you call functions lambda.(:bar) vs func(:bar)) to be annoying?
"That's why I'm not trying to make it typed."

Are you proposing that a distinct `assoc-in` function should be written for every combination of types you'd need in your program?

Doesn't that rather prove my point that some functions that are trivial to write in a dynamically typed language are hard to write in a statically typed language?

"Come to think about it, assoc-in is a great example of why I want static types. It's very hard to figure out what that function does from reading the documentation."

I've always thought the function was trivial. I mean, it's just four lines of code:

(defn assoc-in [m [k & ks] v]
(if ks
(assoc m k (assoc-in (get m k) ks v))
(assoc m k v)))

I have a much harder time relating back a complex type signature in Haskell back to what the function actually does, but perhaps that's something that just requires more practice.

"But you have to write the specs."

Sure, but you have to write the type signatures, too. Type inference certainly cuts down on a lot of work, but it doesn't entirely eliminate the need for explicit typing.

I also tend to prefer adding explicit type signatures, even for functions that could be inferred. It makes type errors easier to catch.

Let me reframe this for you: Your resume should effectively communicate why you are qualified for this job. If you are essentially talking about being qualified to be in charge of the person with this job, you aren't really effectively communicating why they should hire you to fill this role.

Both framings may result in the resume being edited down some, but the end result and positioning will likely be somewhat different. You aren't trying to downplay or hide anything. You just are trying to effectively communicate the information they need about you, no more and no less.

I'm not sure if this is where you were going with this, but I think this is a subtle attempt of the author to discredit or impugn the target of the article.

They could have used the term "libertarian" or "protester" or "political objector" but they go all the way to use "anarchist" as if people making medicine to save their own lives or maintain their own autonomy somehow equates to anarchy.

This to me illustrates in a profound way many problems with health care, and to some extent, politics today: people are told by a privileged, protected elite that they are to take responsibility for their own welfare, but then if you actually take that seriously, you're branded an extremist.

The powers that be--drug companies, the FDA, the federal enforcement agencies, the pharmaceutical companies, physicians--are unwilling to open up competition to reduce their monopolies and regulatory capture. They are squeezing the last drop of blood out of people to line their own pockets, and using safety as a mantra to do so.

To me, this dynamic is so obvious and it's unclear to me why this doesn't get more discussion. People don't have any control over their healthcare, no ability to take responsibility for their own health, because they're legally unable to do so, because it's not in the financial interests of powers that be.

People lash out against homeopathy and antivacciners, but the obvious is staring us in the face: when you have no autonomy in the realm of traditional, scientifically-grounded healthcare paradigm, your only option is to reject it in favor of something else.

Same here: if people have no options to go to, they need to do it themselves, or go without medicine. People do this not because they want to, but because their back is against the wall.

The current regulatory regime, all the way from the FDA to current licensing regulations to drug enforcement, is completely and utterly broken. Not at risk of breaking, but a complete failure.

The short answer is probably that if Twitter were to ban Trump, they'd face an enormous backlash from folks who take it as suppression of political opinions. It's a blessing and a curse for twitter, I'm sure -- having Trump tweet regularly has probably been a boon for business, overall. If you're generous, you could make the argument that Twitter is allowing the President to bypass the traditional media outlets and have his voice heard directly (for better or worse).

> Surely threatening nuclear war violates their "Abusive Behavior" rules.

Even if you were to try to live by the letter of the law, you'd have a hard time really getting this to stick, I imagine. If this is the tweet you're referring to:

"Just heard Foreign Minister of North Korea speak at U.N. If he echoes thoughts of Little Rocket Man, they won't be around much longer!"

Then I think you'd have a hard time construing this as "terrorism", any moreso than half of Twitter's population has said (sports teams getting "killed", public figures "not being around anymore" (i.e. probably meaning "in office")).
Author of Quill here. Interested in hearing Marjin’s thoughts but here are some of my main observation is at a high level Prosemirror is much more willing than Quill to sacrifice simplicity for power. This value difference manifests in the target audience, architecture and API design:

Quill can be used for the get going quickly drop in use case. Prosemirror specifically warns against this: “If you're looking for a simple drop-in rich text editor component, ProseMirror is probably not what you need. (We do hope that such components will be built on top of it.) The library is optimized for demanding, highly-integrated use cases, at the cost of simplicity.”

Prosemirror’s schema, as documented, is more flexible than Quill’s. Prosemirror appears to allow anything, whereas Quill imposes some constraints. For example Quill requires all nodes to either be a leaf and cannot have children or a container and must at least one child. There cannot be a node that can optionally have children as is allowed in Prosemirror. In my experience the constraints Quill imposes lead to a more consistent and bug free experience across browsers. I will be curious to try out the edge cases I have encountered at this new 1.0 Prosemirror to see if it handles them the way an end user typist would expect. If Quill can benefit from a shift in the flexibility in its schema, it will do so.

Quill is far more battle tested. Slack, Salesforce, LinkedIn, Intuit and many others are using Quill in their main user-facing production products, not an internal employee only tool. Prosemirror has a great start with the NY Times but there is a large difference in adoption at the moment.
The moral answer is obviously no, given the context in which we live. That the moral and legal answers are completely opposite of each other is telling.

Imagine a natural disaster happens, and the strong hoard more water and food and shelter and medicine than they could ever use in a million lifetimes and protect it with guns. Then you tell the poor "in an emergency scenario, here are some options to keep you and your children alive a few more days that aren't totally safe but are better than nothing. Your makeshift roof might fall down in a bad storm, your food won't be perfectly clean, but it's better than doing nothing and waiting to die".

This is what is happening in the US. In this analogy, the natural disaster is free market capitalism, the strong are the ultrawealthy owning class, and the guns they use to protect their property are the police and legal system, who provide the violence that is inherently necessary to keep order in a massively unequal society.
