Jackie isn't even that good. it's annoying because no one really seriously watches enough kung fu films to realize he isn't.

For example, Beardy (Leung Kar Yan) oozes charisma just by breathing, and does fights like these:

...without any formal kung-fu training! He's just a gifted physical mimic.

Gordon Liu is another hugely influential actor who more or less is what people think of when they think of shaolin kung fu, and he starred in many of the most iconic films of that genre, like the 36th chamber of shaolin. Then you have the five venoms, etc. If you actually went through a collection of the best films, like the old Dragon Dynasty DVDs, you'd be shocked to see how little Chan is in them.

HTTP provides a couple of different response codes for when one URL should redirect to another URL. The most common are 301 Moved Permanently and 302 Found, aka moved temporarily.

When designing a website and you find the need to redirect one URL to another, you have to choose which HTTP response code to use for the redirect. You might naively think 301 Moved Permanently is the right choice for when you perceive the redirection to be a non-temporary thing. Unfortunately HTTP 301 responses are cached very aggressively by web browsers by default, so if you install a 301 redirect in your website and choose to revert it, clients who have already seen the now-reverted 301 redirect will just keep following the cached redirect.

Basically, unless the URL you're redirecting is receiving way more than a thousand hits per second (i.e. unless you're running a large-scale website with lots of traffic), you should always use the temporary 302 redirect, even though you might perceive the redirection to be non-temporary.

Alternatively you could require that the product of the products of two sets should be equal to the product of their disjoint union. In particular the product of any set multiplied with the product of the empty set should remain the same, hence the product of the empty set is the identity.

This avoids some problems you get when you try to generalise the categorical the notion of product, as it's not immediately clear (to me anyway) how to get a category where products correspond to an arbitrary group/monoid product.
> looked like a combination of random punctuation. Same goes for a lot of Haskell code

"A lot", not "all": yeah indeed at least you can tweak the punctuation towards more ergonomic (aka more productive) aesthetics. What you describe is just the unfortunate result of many-perhaps-most (early) Haskellers / the std-lib authors being married to established-but-ugly academic operator symbols instead of boldly redesigning them for green-field programmers of this (then, newly from-scratch) programming language.

Once swapping out the built-in `.` for <. and `>>>` for .> and $ for <| and & for |> it all comes a breeze to read (I mean, in comparison), about on par with Elm/F#. Now I've never heard anyone complain that Elm code is unreadable, it's a good example for other MLs to follow.

The rest of what you describe is just due to these hackers being heavily into their own combinator libraries, truly if you code all day, just as there shouldn't be a need to elaborately spell out "function" and "return" and so forth all the time in imperative, they feel less need to spell out all the map/filter/reduce English words all the time. At some point, all the names describe "symbolic relations of sorts" and I wouldn't fault anyone for philosophizing: "that which is specific to my program should be named as words, but that which is 'primitive' / generalized / commonly used among all sorts of programs could just as well be just symbols" ;)

I mean I hack in Go all days right now and it's fun --- lots of parens & braces don't exactly kill me. Here, tweaking one's colour scheme easily solves this in one fell swoop and takes just under a minute tops. No need to go "ML-ish FP" just for the lack of curlies. =)

Yes, people can type a url into a browser. But they don't. they scroll their newsfeed.

You know how often I see Hacker News on Facebook? Never. Yet I visit here regularly. Same for reddit and many other sources of news.

You know how often Breitbart links appear in Facebook or Google News? Never. Yet it's the 49th biggest site in the USA according to Alexa.

Our choices are: take FB head-on trying to get engagement with our users outside FB, or pay FB to regain our old levels of engagement. Not fun.

Isn't that cookie-jar thinking, just like cocktailpeanuts says? You got large amounts of free advertising and referral traffic for a long time. Very few businesses benefit from that sort of thing. Now you're back to having to get loyal users the old fashioned way, or you can pay for that traffic in the manner of traditional advertisers.

Kudos for acknowledging that you don't have to use this project, but the rest of your post reads like a tantrum. Notably, public complaining wasn't forbidden, as you claim, they insinuated that they wouldn't engage public complaints. Further, you seem to fail to understand that the goal of Reason is to make OCaml more familiar to mainstream developers, not to existing OCAML developers. Unless you wanted to communicate a deep emotional attachment to OCaml's syntax, this post could be improved by simply saying what you dislike about Reason's direction and leaving it at that.
That’s a very unfair assumption. In my (admittedly short) time on the ReasonML Discord I’ve found chenglou and other members of the Reason team to be incredibly helpful and involved with the community.
How to Utilize WordPress Potential
Strictly, this isn't true. In f(a, b), if f is while, it is not a procedure call. Or if it is a declaration.

Then, of course, there is the specifics of the call. Is it single dispatch? Where is it dispatched? Etc.

Which isn't really to argue against the point. Yes, you need context. Pretty much always. Having gotten used to lisp, I find it much easier to understand. I realize familiarity helps, though.
I am a Chinese born AI researcher and I've had most of my higher education in the US. The funny thing is that when I was a high schooler in China, I was not particularly good at math and basically hated anything quantitative. There are two points I want to make to counter some of the arguments people have brought up.

First, even though Chinese high schoolers are "better" at math and there are certainly many gifted kids, it does not necessarily mean that they are better at abstract thinking and will excel at higher levels. On the other hand, some of the most talented people I know did not have super impressive test scores. They are insatiably curious and think from first principles.

Second, if you look at the top researchers today, you'll find their strength comes from combining knowledge from different disciplines, e.g. computer science and neuroscience. The education system in China pretty much hones students in a single dimension, pushing them into a narrow corner. Also, the most important thing in research is not just understanding what has been done. It is thinking critically and challenging authority. Unfortunately, in my opinion, this really goes against the Chinese regime and Chinese culture to a large extent.

I wouldn't be surprised by a large number of future Chinese AI "engineers" who can quickly replicate the latest research. But I think China has a long way to go in order to create an environment that allows students to freely explore and think before a real AI breakthrough.

>Why the hell cant we build web UIs like we do desktop apps, wire it with whatever lanaguage our company uses, and compile it down to WebAssembly and ship it to clients browsers? Instead we have to write these monstrosities in shitty JavaScript with virtual doms, and hacks everywhere. Madness!

We can, but probably not now, because WebAssembly isn't quite ready yet. It still lacks garbage collection and efficient DOM access, and the specs aren't even finalized. There are already experimental targets for a few languages like Rust[0] and Lua[1], and WASM targets C/C++ out of the box.

Eventually, you'll probably be able to import arbitrary languages and environments with a few HTML tags, similar to Javascript today, or whatever the Webassembly version of a package/dependency/VM manager turns out to be, then compile and run any application ever made in the browser.

> Why don't we criticize the author for his lack of Petri nets, or his glaring omission of a denotational semantics in the appendix to his article?

Oh, was I asleep when Petri nets and denotational semantics are now used by millions of programmers around the world?

> Those futures/promises in every web browser in the world are a purely local asynchronous programming idiom, or what I like to think of as CPS unconversion. I didn't suggest that browser programming is a niche concept, but it also has nothing to do with organizing idempotent remote state changes over a lossy message channel.

Of course it does, and I already made this point so I don't know why you're ignoring it. Add durability to browser promises, and there you go. The durability is irrelevant to the semantics.

> Do you run around the IETF and W3C telling them to stop saying "Message-ID" when they really mean futures/promises? Or security researchers with their nonces?

Nonces and Message-IDs have different semantics than promises. It's like you're not even listening.

Idempotency keys have the same semantics as promises. Ergo, they are promises. Promises are idempotent, but not every idempotent abstraction is a promise. It's simple, I'm not sure where the confusion lies.
Ah. Right. My impression was that most PureScript code just uses plain JS objects / arrays, though. Is that not correct? If the ecosystem isn't built around the efficient immutable data types, much of the advantage disappears.
Yeah, the real ask must be fewer issues, not zero. The cause for concern is that self driving cars increase the chances of systemic failure.
Also good advice for improving quality of sleep, but it is a different kind of tiredness (or lack thereof).

The fact that there are multiple kinds of exhaustion, and that we might not distinguish them, can in itself be part of the problem, since you can end up trying to fix the wrong thing.

How Twitter Killed the First Amendment
Circular citations of Wikipedia articles do not prove that Catalonia existed for the very short period of time you claim. I would suggest reading about the revolutionary period.

Your claim that Catalonia has no history of independence is simply wrong.
In the US, paying prisoners is technically optional per the 13th amendment loophole.

Furthermore, the US has the highest incarceration rate in the world, and combined with for-profit prisons’ political contributions, there are perverse incentives and outright corruption to overprosecute poor and minorities, as evidenced by the skewed prison vs. entire US demographics.

And it’s ”their”
Reliable by what metric?

The FT panders just as hard, it has its own severe biases that result in deeply unreliable reporting.

My go-to example of how unreliable the FT can be is an article they published before the Brexit referendum. It said the FT had polled a panel of over 100 "experts" and "leading thinkers". Every single one thought a vote to leave would damage economic growth. In fact economic growth accelerated. The FT, by the way, literally flies the EU flag above its offices in London.

https://www.ft.com/content/1a86ab36-afbe-11e5-b955-1a1d298b6...

In the FT’s annual poll of more than 100 leading thinkers, not one thought a vote for Brexit would enhance UK growth in 2016.

Where is the line between spectacularly bad reporting and propaganda? If the FT really couldn't find a single "leading thinker" who could actually get it right in a pool of 100, and they didn't even realise that was a problem, how reliable can their coverage on other topics be? Like all newspapers the FT employs generalists who rely heavily on FT-identified 'leading thinkers' for analysis and facts. If they aren't able to spot self-created bias and groupthink on the topic of Europe then they surely cannot in other areas.

I agree with rtpg - journalism seems to have a serious sickness and I'd pay for news sources that seemed to have real commitments and processes in place to ensure wide-angle reporting.
His snark also does not make your comment true in the first place.
What a great argument. Idempotency keys are single-assignment/idempotent variables. Promises are single-assignment/idempotent variables. They're totally not the same thing!

Is (Scaled) Online Learning an Engine for Diversity? Not According to the Data
"Specifically, they’d like you to use Polymer. The problem is that the Web Component API is really unpleasant to use directly, especially compared to React. That’s really holding Polymer back in the framework marketplace. Other WC-based frameworks like Svelte, Skate, and Stencil abstract away from WCs, treating them as a compilation target."

That argument feels like a non-sequitur. Polymer's API is different from the Web Component API, so even if the Web Component API would be unpleasant to use directly, that is not a criticism of a different API (in this case the Polymer API). Polymer's API is "similar" to the native Web Component API though, but it's designed to be easier to use than the native API.

I'd be interested why a compiler would even need to do so in the first place --- constructing every possible one instead of every one it encounters as clearly needed right now.

People continue to say Apple makes huge profits. But in reality they have a world wide market share of 20%, with Gross Margin at ~40%, Net Margin ~20%.

Both Gross and Net Margin figures have been very consistent over the years, And increasingly many profits are from the financial arms, and other services.

One way to look at it, is that despite iPhone has been getting more expensive over the past years, Apple are actually earning less % on each unit.

In some ways, this is worrying.

Using cartoons a great way to disarm the reader, especially children, into believing the subject matter will be understandable. I don't know if Mims used cartoons to make engineering appeal to children, but it certainly had that affect on me.

There would be a rebalancing of prices, which is really an intended effect. Things would be in flux for a time, then settle at a new equilibrium. Food prices may go up, other prices may go down. The new equilibrium prices may well be higher on average, but the more important question is, how much can a poor person afford to buy?

I think your post is indicative of the problem journalists face here.

Manifesto Guy was backed up by actual scientists who spoke out to say he'd got the science right, he provided many citations of scientific papers, most of what he wrote was about Google's own culture anyway (and those parts were clearly supported by leaked communications), and in interviews he dwelled on his own firing - a fact.

To you it's just "science-y sounding" and "unsupported by evidence or logic". But what he said is all true. You can read the studies or look at the statistics yourself. There is a clear imbalance in interest (vs ability) between genders in the field of computer science.

By denying this you make yourself the gender-science equivalent of a climate change denier.
I too don't have any side projects primarily because I find creating projects is a slower way of learning. The fastest is reading documentation, books etc. Creating side projects doesn't guarantee that you will learn anything more than what you already know. Looking at codebases of high quality frameworks/libraries, reading books about best practices, taking online courses are some of the faster ways of learning.
Keep in mind that Montessoris theory is ~100 years old; it kept up very well but there are shortcomings; IMO especially in the realm of pre-numeric mathematics.

The base of the critique is that Montessori does not provide a conclusive, foundational Layer of (Pre-)Mathematics - a model of more or less depending sub-skills - which would enable A) Educators to better understand their pupils or what they need to further their skills[1] B) enable the invention of new Material. She basically states that children need Material X, Y and Z, but not how and why the work with the material enables them to start using math.
