Cash purchases are already pretty common for gun sales. All gun retailers accept cash, obviously, and many of the smaller ones offer discounts for purchasing with cash (usually framed as an extra 3% or so fee for purchasing with a credit card). The tinfoil-hat crowd is also fond of purchasing with cash, and many person-to-person gun sales are done on either a cash basis or as a miscategorized PayPal transfer.

By no means.

There's this idea floating around that monads are things that had to be "introduced" into Haskell to "solve" certain problems with purity. This idea is false. Furthermore this question misses half the point of monads, that is, that you can program generically over them. Sure, that one example makes the IO monad look just like code in any other imperative language. But I can also use do notation and monad combinators with lists, coroutines, promises, futures, ASTs, and indeed any other monad I care to come up with. It may seem that any individual monad qua monad is a waste of time but when taken in totality it is a completely different question.

Since the question mentioned no other monad than IO it doesn't begin to address the important issues.
"...considerably harder to even find such guns."

Why does the author suggest that guns would be any harder to find? The gun shops wouldn't close up shop and suddenly go into hiding. They'll just take cash. If the author wants to suggest that banks stop doing business with gun dealers, forcing them to protect their own cash, the market will respond - potentially with new financial institutions willing to do business with them.

Many type designers deal with this as part of their workflow if they work with traditional drawing tools like pen and ink. My understanding is that for classically designed fonts its often easier to redraw vector objects over the scan than to clean up what the automatic tools produce. However, for certain types of "distressed" fonts its a kind of necessity.

> It's less clear whether that would drive up or down rents.

Rental properties are convertible to condos. If you make money available to buy property then exactly that happens, which reduces the supply of rental properties available to the people who can't afford to buy even with the mortgage subsidies, thereby increasing rents.

> It would tend to drive down rents by: lower returns in other passive investments might drive investment towards rental real estate chasing income (increasing supply), steadily increasing property values might encourage marginal buyers to buy, reducing demand on rental units in an area, foreign buyers might be more inclined to "park money" in USD real estate, some of which could be rented to offset the cash flow.

Rents are directly related to property values. If property values are higher it takes more capital to purchase a property in order to rent it out, which requires higher rents to justify someone doing that instead of allowing the property to be sold to a resident.

In theory mortgage interest subsidies might not increase property values if the market responded to the demand by increasing the housing supply. But then zoning laws prevent that from happening, so they do.

And there is no reason for someone who buys housing for speculation to rent it out at below market rates. Moreover, it has been a major problem that many of those people don't rent it out at all because at scale not renting it increases housing prices (which is what they want as speculators), leading to a large amount of unoccupied housing in the midst of a supply shortage.

This is the type of product that really needs a lightweight company to produce it. Sure, the initial sales can probably recover money used to pay a development and design staff, but that doesn't keep their paycheck going indefinitely. In order to employee a decent development team you need to constantly churn out new products, or have a larger product portfolio (which is why Samsung, for example, can still sell smartwatches, because those devs can get assigned to other projects between product revisions).

What Pebble needed to be successful was to have the product design teams completely outsourced from the beginning, so that initial development (and each revision costs) could be budgeted against expected sales, but once that is done, the development team (outsourcer) would then continue work for other customers. Instead of being on Pebble's payroll.

You do it just like a car. Merge from the lane to the turn lane. Signal your move. Stop in the intersection if you need to yield. Take your time waiting for an appropriate gap, then turn left. Don’t worry about cars behind you, they would have to wait for their own gap anyway.

Behaving like a car as much as possible makes you more predictable, and keeps everyone out of trouble. I stop at red lights too.

cutting in front of cars and crossing intersections when they shouldn’t

What drivers who have never used a bicycle don't even consider is that as a cyclist you are extremely mobile and have a much better overview of the road. A cyclist can cross an intersection on red with little danger, a car attempting the same would be murderous.

In countries like the Netherlands most everyone has biked to school from the age of 6 before they are turned loose in a car at 18, there is much better mutual understanding between car drivers and bike riders over there.

Or, you know, voters could just vote people out of office for supporting the gun lobby. But I think the author realizes it's a lot easier to use public pressure by liberal backers to force a subset of private entities who aren't beholden to the entire public to force their will on everyone.

This idea of using corporations to legislate the nation's woes is not a good idea. It subverts and undermines the democratic process and makes corporations the leaders of a plutocracy.

I think people just realize that mass shootings are a small problem nationally and would take a large amount of effort to solve, and just choose to whine rather than fix anything.

461 people were killed in mass shootings last year in the U.S. But only 650 were killed in Chicago alone in "regular old murder". When it's poor black people getting killed, meh, business as usual. But kids? And especially large numbers of white kids? Now we need to get rid of guns.

I personally believe there is a lot more truth to this list than a "well researched" study backed by statistics that you can make say whatever you want (as an alert person may notice when reading the news).

I'd even go so far as arguing that in-depth studies with their typical bias (to use a nice term) is what has made so many young, highly educated "evidence based" thinkers genuinely believe straightforward & consistent-with-observable-reality explanations like this are literally incorrect.

Been trying to use JupyterLab over the weekend and had some issues with it. The idea is great though. I also look forward for the extensions. Data pipelines and dashboards can be built in visual applications much more quickly than with coding, so maybe we can now program extensions for that? Also, with vegalite and flask you can build dashboards from scratch and jupyterlab is great there (as you can mix code and notebooks). I think jupyterlab is very well positioned for being a complete end to end analytics tool from raw data to dashboards and visuals. If the extensions are powerful enough on the UI side, who knows? Maybe even business users could use jupyterlab.

Really interesting to read about the birth of names. Gives some names a certain charm and some a certain triviality, e.g. Debian (Debra + Ian).
That article is fantastic, so right!

There's a ton of graphics research that has the same basic issue, I feel. The premise behind a lot of it seems to be how to do impressive art without an artist, how to automate our way to compelling imagery.

I am guilty of this too, as an occasional graphics researcher and full time tool maker, I'm implicating myself here too. I am with you, the algorithms speak to me as a programmer, and they are really fun to think about and code.

But I suspect we're missing out on some opportunities to do amazing things with an artist in the loop, that we're not yet achieving what we could if we built tools that try to enhance creative people rather than replace them.

Adobe is pretty good about taking Siggraph papers and implementing them with more artist friendly controls than the paper, but I can't help but wonder what we might have if all the Siggraph papers on average aimed to be more controllable and less automatic in the first place.

Never going back to Automobiles again. My friends are also trying to start biking to commute after I've made it. Many thought I'd go back to MotorBike after 1 week but I persevered and it's a joy riding the bike.

Highly recommend to people in Indian Metro, just add 10 minutes to average 7km commute. Happy riding !
You and your team (NoRedInk, Evan, et.al.) could actually grow the number for amazing Elm devs out. I think part of the reason is that there's a very narrow avenue to traverse to even build production-level Elm apps. One of the sure fire discouraging factor for someone learning and wanting to embrace a language is when s/he is unable to see the same see the light of the day at the hands of real users/consumers.

P.S. I'd love to learn and apply Elm across. I've applied at NoRedInk but did not get any response.

Schwalbe Winter (30-622): https://www.schwalbe.com/en/spike-reader/winter.html

I rode a couple of kilometers on an iced lake some weeks ago without trouble.

There's also the more expensive Marathon Winter: https://www.schwalbe.com/en/spike-reader/marathon-winter.htm...

Marathon Winter has more studs. They're placed closer to the edge of the tyre and it's debatable how much difference if it makes if you don't lean into the curves. I try to lean less on frozen ground, so I suspect they would be pointless for me.

Studded tyres actually works best on ice. Theoretically, if snow covers the ice they could be ineffective. I myself have not found this to be a problem.
Or a criminal indictment, I would hope.
Interesting. How long ago did that get introduced and is there any studies on impact on prices?
Sure, I'll take your $10K diamond ring for my $1K gun. Or did you want to chop off the corner?

Yes and no.

For leasehold house, then its very simple, the leaseholder can buy the freehold. Or the freeholder can make an offer to the leaseholder.

For a block of flats, its a bit more complex. If a majority of the leaseholders club together, they can buy the freehold, and create their own management company.

This sets out in more detail how and when things can happen: https://www.lease-advice.org/advice-guide/houses-qualificati...

The recent scandal about doubling ground rents can be rectified if the leaseholder buys the freehold, but that is expensive, especially as the houses are effectively unmortgageable

What specifically are you having trouble finding tutorials for? I’ve had little issue finding ios tutorials for most things.

This particular bit is far better than it used to be, back when Apple platform development meant Mac apps written in Obj-C and AppKit. Back then, your best hope were a handful of blog posts and mailing list threads. If your issue wasn’t there, you had to figure it out on your own.

Today there are tutorials for Swift and UIKit springing up all over the place. It’s quite a change.
Porn hasn't been attacked by all banks. The article address a few banks/payment processors that have banned the transactions of porn in their Terms of Service, but its still super easy to find a credit card that hasn't banned the purchase of porn.
Yep. They block Bitcoin purchases on credit cards (read: short term loans from the bank) because they don't want to be left holding the bag when Bitcoin prices drop.

> For example, if I can choose between 50 carousels implemented in React vs. 2 in Elm, and I'm an average developer -- what will I choose?

IMO this is an advantage of the smaller/smarter/niche (whatever you want to call them) programming communities. When they congregate around a couple libraries for common problems, those libraries tend to be very good. Speaking from experience in the Elm and Clojure ecosystems.

It’s much better in terms of developer time to evaluate 2 good libraries than 50 libraries where the quality ranges from abysmal to good.
Fats and proteins, like all food, is slowly killing you, in the same way that life is killing you via aging.

Thus, the fats and proteins are likewise, in the best of circumstances, only "less bad" than sugar.

And there's such a wide variety of fatty acids and aminos that it is quite hard to generalize. Isomaltulose is probably far better than most fatty acids. And excess protein converts to sugar, too.

Yeah I'm not opposed to the idea of gun control, but almost every proposal I see in the US is a knee-jerk reaction that is completely ignorant of the existing gun situation in the United States. I see people talking about concealing AR-15's being easier in Florida than a handgun. That's because SBR's already require a federal background check with a ~1 year wait and require tax stamp paperwork to remain with the firearm at all times and can't be moved between state lines without prior written approval from BATFE. And they're used in very few murders compared to handguns. But sure, your background check idea is doing something, so you can feel good while posting selfies with reflections of oncoming traffic in your sunglasses. Meanwhile you can make one from unregistered raw materials and minimal tooling and no one would ever know unless you chose to tell them. Let's use the same ideas we used to ban marijuana!
And once they figure out the issues, how many of their billions of dollars will they donate to help solve them? Corporate greed has never once solved inequality, only made it worse. You’ll have to pardon me if I find it hard to believe that a company whose sole purpose is to make money by selling ads is going to finally solve America’s inequality problem, as though Facebook could make the justice system less racist, or the healthcare system less expensive, or the educational system less expensive, or the job market less competitive.
Isn't this a bit disturbing? I mean, do you want a bunch of credit card companies making a decision about what you can and can't buy? What if it's something other then guns?
Yes. I can have a greater impact by leveraging my skills in a market to donate rather than rallying to a cause.
Cool, so Andrew Ross Sorkin writes in the Sulzberger NYT about how a literal cabal of bankers should conspire to deprive Americans of their constitutional rights. I'm sure this will do wonders for civic engagement and friendly understanding of each others' differences.

This is fake news. Comparing Tesla sales to the X6 doesn't make any sense since that's a very niche product that BMW sells. I understand it's the most similar BMW from a design standpoint, but it's probably their lowest volume model. The most comparable would be the 5 series.
> delimits a stateful computation which can then be embedded in a pure one in a principled way

You probably meant to say smth different, but to many this reads like "you can embed and call impure code inside pure code while the pure code stay pure" which doesn't make much sense. I mean, you always do the opposite: embed/call pure code from the impure one.
This is a huge plus -"basically eliminates the need to allocate any extra time for additional exercise."

I live too close to work for the ride to be any sort of exercise now (1 km). I certainly like the speed, but sometimes I miss when I had a 40km round trip commute (down the beach for 90% of it no less!). I could eat whatever I wanted and still be in great shape.

Of course, that was when I got hit by a car, and my ribs still ache some mornings 8 years later.
