Makes me think of the early Keyhole spy satellite program, which returned exposed film to Earth in a capsule. The capsule was to be caught mid-air, and if the catch failed, the capsule would float for five minutes and then sink, with the intent of destroying the sensitive data.

It was discovered that Russian subs were circling under the drop zone.

I would be sleeping in that case in that gorgeous afternoon. As a night owl I always detested waking up early, no matter what timezone. When travelling, once the jetlag is gone, I again wake up 10 am and sleep at 2-3 am. I like my days like that. I tried what you say and it does not work for me; 8:30-9 is a reasonable compromise. Seems getting up later, taking a longer afternoon break but working later at night meshes with the partners/ companies we work with in Portugal, India and China; all of their offices start about 10, 11 all are there and they work till 2100 with a 2 hour lunchbreak. I for one have almost never set an alarm since high school (and at least in my uni the interesting profs also preferred late mornings and nights) and if definitely makes me feel more rested. It is personal but do not think everyone just gets used to it; like said, I tried and I know many who tried because somehow it might convenient and failed. Like in high school I had to get on my bike at 7 but I would just fall asleep in all classes after lunch while I do never have that if I shift my time; I sleep the same number of hours in both cases but I guess my brain does not accept waking in the dark for some reason.
Google (ABC) doesn't actually derive much[0] value from investment in their shares: they have long been profitable and I'd be surprised if they issued new shares in the recent past. The investment just goes to some other investor who's selling stock to invest in real estate (or whatever).

> But I could easily argue the brain is bad at juggling rules. The more rules, the more likely mistakes.

The brain isn't great at LEARNING rules, but the vast majority of programming languages use more rules than Lisp, and since most people use those other languages instead, it's clearly possible to learn more rules than the ones Lisp provides. Indeed, Lisp's syntax currently insists that you not use infix notation, which means in practice people have to learn a new syntax. Practically every other language (with the exception of Forth) supports infix notation.

The "$" has essentially the same meaning as Haskell, so if you know Haskell's rule, you already know it. The "blank line ends the block" is what most people would assume anyway. The <* ... *> ones are unusual, but they don't take long to learn or master, and counter a complaint about indentation ("stuff marches off to the right").

It's hard to argue preferences. Ideally we'd have some scientific studies really examine these kinds of issues! Sadly, those kinds of studies are in short supply.

Thanks for the commentary.
A diet which is a subset of another diet can still be classified as a diet of that type, at least that’s how I think of it.

Well for one, Facebook, through crass negligence and a failure to own up to the duties that go along with their position in regulating the flow of information between people, played a key role in the election of an administration which supports the draining of countries, the extraction of resources, and the extinction of ecosystems...and if the recent stories about a lifetime cap on medicaid benefits are true, quite a few human deaths! (Obviously Facebook isn't solely or even mostly responsible, Monsanto is worse, yadda yadda yadda)
That would certainly help, but paying != solving, unfortunately, unless you charge for storing CO2, which is rather expensive.
Wanting companies that work on these problems is great. But finding ones with unique and interesting value propositions is probably incredibly hard. There is a reason that the Hollywood model for instance, has managed to last 100 years. Yeah there's an absolute shit ton of protectionism going on but also no one has come up with anything better yet, and not for lack of trying. The same is true of a lot of these categories. The issues they have are hard, and expensive. I'd be interested to see the list of companies YC rejects.

This was the part I was debating. How they're weighing frequency against force to reach a unified metric.

When and how much they apply that within a game is a separate issue.
I have a much lesser scare story of my own that taught me this: you just have to be your own [family's] diagnostician.

Fortunately in the age of the Internet and advanced search engines, you actually can be your own diagnostician.

You have to learn to decide when you must have medical attention, and you must not accept dismissiveness from doctors. Yes, you must also not be a hypochondriac -- that will cost you money and crowd out others who need the care. But this is why you must... become good at being your own diagnostician.

This is very much not what doctors want. It's not what the FDA wants. It's not what anyone should want. But the quality of care is so variable, and so dependent on someone noticing in less than the only five minutes they want to spare you, some detail that you have days to notice... that you just have to be your own diagnostician.

Arm yourself with knowledge before you get to the doctor's office or ER.

That's a great point. Google tends to collocate teams by product, so that may be their answer to this. But it's true that you'll eventually reach a scale where you're going to have daily remote interactions, regardless of whether those people are in an office or not. Even at the Googleplex, if you're in an office across campus, it's better to connect to the meeting remotely than walk over.
It can be either way. The 'during construction' bit is done using compacting hammers and then afterwards it is sanded down again to expose the grain, the pounding can splinter the topmost layer. And after the sanding the floor is nice and smooth, the pounding leaves it somewhat uneven because the wood isn't equal density everywhere.

You can drop a hammer head down on that stuff and it won't even leave a dent.
That's cool - can you share it?
Not surprisingly, repeating to yourself “it’s just your first draft” is one of the tools mentioned in the book The Now Habit, which treats procastination as a symptom of an anxiety problem possibly caused by a perfectionism complex. Other comments in this thread have also mentioned the book.

That is highly personal though; I am from NL and I have never experienced what you say. Too hot in NL is not a thing. I moved to Spain and we even usually (outside august) find it too cold there. Each his own but for a country with such crap summers like NL I find this a weird one; most people I know there take summer afternoons off to hang outside on terasses.

That and working, walking etc in the hot sun gives me energy personally; energy I missed in our Dutch winters.

I never said otherwise.

I said it was misleading syntax sugar because it implies that static functions defined in any namespace (extension methods) are the same as methods - which have access to internal members and are defined within class hierarchy.

If you know something is an extension method then you know it's just syntax sugar, but you can't determine that just by looking at the code.
I don't know if you thought you meant me, but I didn't at all get mad or upset, not in the slightest, (your capitals make it seem like you did though) no idea why you got that impression. Maybe I got downvoted so much because people thought I was. I just thought the title could have gotten a lot more clicks if more informative. Gee, the whole point was, I didn't know it was about the language called Julia. I needed a more informative title to decide whether to click. I thought I was contributing, being helpful to the author, giving free marketing focus group feedback, by letting people know that as an outsider, the title told me nothing. I've no idea why that's so hard for people to understand. I was told that for HN regulars, the title wasn't confusing, so I guess in future I won't comment in similar situations, no good comes of it.

edit: Well, I did end up learning quite a bit about Julia - which sounds awesome - and got the best answer I ever got on here, which it seems others benefited from too, so that was good. :-)

Strandbeest: The Dream Machines of Theo Jansen (2016)
Yes, familiarity influences preference, and infix is familiar.

Almost all adults who develop software have had 12 to 20 years of practice using infix notation as a standard part of mathematics, and it's also a standard part of practically all programming languages except Lisp and Forth. It's possible to notate calculations without infix (obviously!), but that doesn't mean that people WANT to do it. It's absurd to fight against the worldwide standard of infix notation for standard math operations like "+".

For most people, {2 * {3 + 4}} is easier to understand than (* 2 (+ 3 4)). If a Lisp reader simply treats {...} as a list, where the operator is the even positions, then you have the best of both worlds: standard infix notation combined with Lisp's ability to do quasiquoting, macros, etc.

Interest rates have been rising since January at least, and there's an expectation that the good economic news we got will encourage the Fed to raise interest rates in March.

I'm thinking that the authors of the article just needed "something to say" about why people are selling stocks today. But I don't think its interest rates, mostly because interest rates haven't really been "moving quickly" or unexpectedly.

I think recent volatility, especially the destruction of XIV (inverse volatility index tracking ETF) has caused some people to flee the market. Its been years since the stock market fell a bit, and people have forgotten what it feels like to lose money. Scared people contribute to the sell-off. Basically, your standard market correction.

There might be some other explanations out there: but attributing it to the long-expected interest rate hike seems weird. The 30-year Treasury went +0.02% today. Its not moving very quickly.
Sure, but I've been stuck maintaining a codebase a couple of years back written by someone on fluent API hype train - exploring that codebase was a major PITA thanks to VS bugs and extension methods.

The problem isn't overhead but that there's a performance bug that one can easily hit with multithreading right now, which is why it's labelled experimental. When that's fixed hopefully you'll be happy :). A function barrier fixes it, but it's a little nasty. This is probably the bug I want fixed most, but since it's not syntax breaking it's a slated for v1.x and not v1.0.

Maybe you could include a full graph for the last 500 million years. It would show a steady decline of CO2 levels in the last 50-60my, whereas levels were previously ranging 2-5 times higher than in the recent holocene. [1]

The real doomsday would have been a further decline of CO2 levels to the point of global plant starvation. Many plants already died off due to the previously shrinking supply of CO2. [2]

Totally unrelated to the topic, but it is weird how news agencies have basically abandoned the idea of a finished and published article in favor of having an ever evolving page with whatever is the latest on the subject. For example, this page was first published on Wednesday and yet the lede says "The dread that gripped equity markets earlier in the week re-emerged Thursday..." I can't decide if this is a good or bad thing. There are certainly pluses and minuses.

What did the buyers do that’s so awful? As far as I know, they were going to charge a reasonable rate for parking to cover maintenance and their $90,000 purchase price. It’s not like they were going to start charging a toll or something. They wouldn’t be legally able to anyway. Nobody was being forced to pay the buyers anything, they just had the option of paying to park.

What would you say should have happened here? I don’t see what else you could do with this land if you bought it. If the city didn’t auction it off, then why would anyone ever pay their taxes again?

They sent my son for an ultrasound to work out where exactly the fluid was laying on his chest, so yes, they do get some useful info from it.

I've no idea how disruptive technology like cheap ultrasound compares with "traditional" medical equipment. It may be possible to do it cheaply now, but I'd assume the big equipment manufacturers will try to justify their six or seven figure prices for as long as they can, and those in charge of the hospital budgets will probably not be totally unbiased when it comes to making purchasing decisions. It may take some time to filter down into hospitals (like the internet).

I guess y'all are fixin to use our directional words.

Honestly Houston (and I'm sure the other major cities too) has a bunch of weird pronunciation that marks natives versus folks just lucky enough to move here and I assumed the article was going to go into things like "fixing" or our weird town names.

Here in Houston for example "Kuykendall" Street is pronounced with an R like the Dutch name from which it derives "Kerkendal". I'm not sure how the Dutch emphasize the syllables but it's "KIRK-en-dahl" here.

Our street "Elgin" is pronounced with a soft g instead of the hard one found at the front of the drink and there's no y sound marrying the consonant.

Fuqua is properly pronounced "FYU-qway" at least according to the Fuqua I met working at a local energy company. And "San Jacinto" doesn't follow Spanish pronunciation rules and is pronounced "San Jyacinto" not "San Yacinto or San Hacinto." Same with "San Felipe" which is "San fillipee" not "San Fuh-lee-pay."

Here's an article with more examples.

Look at some of the other responses here, they give a hint.

The core problem is lack of reuse, which means you expend one hugely expensive aerospace vehicle per flight, massively increasing per flight costs. Importantly, the optimizations for expendable flight actually drive you away from optimizing for reusability. Expendable vehicles tend to have fewer engines on the first stage, cheaper first stages, and expensive, advanced upper stages. The Falcon 9 intentionally places the majority of hardware costs in the first stage, uses a cluster of engines, and is thus more suitable for reusability (it's easier because landings are easier, it's more worthwhile because most of the hardware cost of a launch is in the booster).

On top of that you have the fact that throughout the world launch vehicle development has traditionally been dominated by only a few major programs that were run by governments. That substantially restricted rocket development due to the bureaucracy and the different needs and goals of governments vs. launch vehicle customers at large (governments are risk averse, have big pockets, etc.) Additionally, launch vehicle development was heavily restricted as a practical matter during the Cold War. Launch vehicles serve as dual use ICBMs, and the first launchers were indeed repurposed ICBMs. Meaning launch vehicle development had very serious national defense and geopolitical implications, so you didn't see a bunch of "space launch startups" during the Cold War the way you see today (SpaceX, Blue Origin, Rocket Labs, etc.) Then there's the brain drain on aerospace technical talent during the Cold War as well. If you had the education or the skills to work on this stuff then most likely you were pulled into some military or government aerospace project since that's where the money (and the national interest) was.

Engineers in the 1960s and '70s could have built reusable rockets if that had been the goal, but it never really was. Even with the Space Shuttle the priority was covering the political bases first (being able to serve the needs of everyone who was supporting the program and keeping it funded) and practical cost savings a distant second.
