Promises introduce declarative control structures basically between every function call in an async application, which is a nightmare for debugging.

ES6 introduces way more syntax, making it much harder for beginners to learn.

Arrow functions make scope much harder to reason about, which makes closures more of an anti-pattern. In ES6 closures are one of a tiny number of scope patterns so you can actually use them.

Arrow functions cause bind to break in unpredictable ways.

Most other ES6 features are just syntactic sugar which offer no software engineering benefit and add a whole layer of conflicting code styles that one must constantly switch between, or else deal with constant pointless linting fixes if you are adhering to a consistent standard.

ES6 demands you use a transpiler which makes debugging flakier, and adds another place for bugs and maintenance work, in addition to often slowing he build down.

If I wanted deal with that much headache I’d just use typescript and at least get type checking in exchange for the syntax change and transpile step.

ES6 exists because some programmers never understood prototype and bind. And felt naming a function that is only called once was icky. Mostly former Ruby programmers. So they bolted a shitty Ruby onto JavaScript in order to get people to stop using prototype and bind, which are the heart of JavaScript’s control flow.

Basically the chest burster from Alien.

I'm definitely on the libertarian/conservative side of this issue, but I generally agree with the GP. Every farm here has a few old cars in a field somewhere, and every house with a bit of land has a "junk pile" somewhere off in a corner.

To be frank, I just don't think it's as big a problem as GP. It doesn't hurt me if my neighbor has a pile of broken down pallets and yard waste in the corner of his yard - his property is not my problem. If I don't like the way it looks I'll build a fence.

I recently bought a house, and there's a concrete pad in one corner of the property that was once a basketball court. It's mostly buried in a thin layer of dirt now and there's everything from old plumping to odd pieces of granite from the previous owner's construction business piled on it. I'm looking forward to cleaning all of that up this spring and building a shop building on the pad.

Part of the reason for this is that it's quite expensive to deal with it. Even doing the work myself - collecting, hauling it to the dump, and unloading it there - it will still likely cost me a few hundred dollars to deal with it. People here don't have a few hundred dollars to spare for things that aren't necessities, so you end up with what are effectively personal/family dumps on every small piece of property.
> Could you elaborate on what you perceive as the problem with falsificationism?

Operationally? You have to pick a null hypothesis. You have to carve reality in two, specify two possible universes and ask an experiment to tell you which universe where you're in.

Darwinism (the one in Darwin's works) isn't like this. Adhesion to falsificationism would have nipped that one in the bud.

Stuff like this is the way forward: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_holism
I think pjmpl is referencing apis like this:

with_file "hello.txt" (fun fd -> (* do stuff *) )

where you've basically created a c++ destructor style api with a lambda.

It's certainly not "verification" in any formal sense, and the type system can't help you there any more than it can in c++.

But this is a perfectly reasonable pattern.
"Go to any other broker and they have the same spread."

Wrong.

This is precisely how they operate their business model: they receive payment for the order flow, and don't compete with traditional brokers on execution price for marketable orders. I suggest you look at the public 605 reports for execution quality statistics.

"And if you are worried about getting worse spread, use limit orders."

This has nothing to do with it really.

Many many people believe their expertise in one field transfers to other disciplines. Chess expertise is not unique. Even though I generally agree about this particular case, I am aware that I am not an expert on Kasparov or AI.

He didn't just fall off the turnip truck in Artificial Intelligence land.
All learning is reward-based. We can imitate human reward systems to start. The machines will act like humans do: basically random behaviors at the start, then following pleasure and rewards to shape their behavior.
It isn’t 100% clear because there hasn’t been an explicit ruling from the IRS but it’s very unlikely that crypto to crypto would be considered a 1031 like-kind trade. They didn’t even allow trades between precious metals or gold coins with different grades of gold to qualify.

I think the bigger issue for US taxpayers is that the IRS doesn’t allow individuals to carryback losses. From what I’ve read, corporations in the US and individual taxpayers in Canada can carry back losses for up to 3 years. The way the crypto market exploded up until late Dec, and then has crashed hard since then could leave some traders with a big tax liability from 2017 that they could end up having to work off for years. The good news is that they might be able to carry 2018’s losses forward to offset future capital gains, but that could be cold comfort to the kids that lost it all on leverage when the bubble popped.

IANAA IANAL, seek professional advice.

It has certainly been politicized, by both sides. The Democrats have used it as a tool to regulate industry to accomplish political aims, and the Republicans have used it as a symbolic scapegoat of the Democrats.

While generally I tend to favor less government involvement, especially when it comes to privacy, I find myself on the other side of the fence here.

Ignoring the arguments about what Coinbases is _legally_ required to hand over, it seems like Coinbase withholding this information from the IRS really only favors criminals. If you're a law abiding citizen you're already giving all this information to the IRS yourself. Every Coin-fiat transaction is taxed and must be reported. So there's not much difference for you. It's only if you aren't following the laws that this has an impact on you. So I find myself in _favor_ of the IRS snooping around in Coinbase's business. More compliance means less average taxes.

That said, there are nuances. What information exactly gets provided to the IRS is important. Exchange/transaction events? Sure. Money in/out? Ehhh, maybe not. Bitcoin address data? Definitely not.

(To be perfectly clear, this is _not_ an instance of "if you have nothing to hide". This is an instance where we're _already_ giving this data to the government, and that's _necessary_ because of our tax laws. There is no equivalence to other privacy cases.)
It seems like this could be uncharitably summarized as follows. "The usual definitions of fractal are rather narrow. The second author of the present paper has proposed a broader definition of fractal. In this paper we show that according to this definition curves such as the semicircle and the logarithmic spiral are 'fractals', but rather than concluding that the definition was a bad one we choose to conclude instead that those curves really are fractals."

Which is, of course, absurd. Am I missing something?

Typically electricity are the worst in places where this is a meaningful benefit to consumers because the state usually has policies about sourcing its electricity that take environmental impact into account in such a way that price is driven through the roof.

Paying a premium for green energy is the best thing states can do to discourage conversion from fossil fuels to electric power.

Yes, these are capital gains taxes. If you buy a bunch of crypto in a year, and sell none, you owe no capital gains taxes for that year.

You only pay capital gains taxes on them in the years where you sell.

Keep in mind that in the IRS's eyes, any exchange (like BTC -> LTC) counts as a sale, and so does buying goods with crypto (like buying a video game with BTC).

> Are we on a sustainable path? Should the EPA get more money or less? Right now they are getting a 25% cut.

From my perspective, everything in government should get less money. It's not so much a statement against the EPA as it is a statement that the federal government in particular is an order of magnitude too large and powerful.

> it's not in the best interest of the general public, including future generations.

I get where you're coming from, and sympathize with your position - but you've not supported this statement. How would cutting the EPA budget hurt us long-term? Can those effects be mitigated through other, less costly policies?
Can we get a headline update on this?

Its not a ban, its not the first time a city has temporarily refused to issue new cryptocurrency mining permits, its not on Bitcoin specifically and the city is Plattsburg, NY. Every word in this headline is misleading or wrong except the word 'passed'.

Better headline is right from the same article: 'Plattsburgh, New York has imposed an 18-month moratorium on Bitcoin mining to prevent miners from using all the city’s cheap electricity.'

The city couldn't supply enough electricity at a certain type of discounted rate so they will refuse any new permits for any cryptocurrency mining operations until they find an approach that works without driving electricity prices up during periods of high demand. There have been temporarily restricted new permits in the NW for some time now as new substations were being brought online.
When using evolutionary pressures to guide software, you have to remember that your stated goal (via fitness functions) often does not truly reflect your intended goal.

For example, when I was using genetic algorithms to pick stock trades, I tried to maximize total_net_gain_loss / number_of_trades. The GA quickly figured out that 0 trades was the best answer. In hindsight, Duh! But I wanted to make trades!

If you consider torture to be ethically bad (which I suspect most would), then it would be strange to make an exception to it and say it's bad except someone did something to deserve it, no? From the position of the person doing the torture, I would find it hard to say that someone else's crime permits me to be less ethical myself, as if committing a hundred murders needs to be balanced out by adding to the crime.
I grew up on Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood; it was still in production when I was a child.

I still occasionally hear criticism of the show as being unrealistic, that it papered over things or was shallow or ungrounded. As if children's perception, compared to adults, is particularly realistic, deep or stable! What adult worries about going down the drain after a bath? Who understands the deep, existential angst a child feels looking over the precipice as the two most important people in their lives "suddenly" aren't together anymore? Rogers' genius was to take what was meaningful to a child and speak frankly about that. He never belittled those anxieties; he merely explained them and what they could do. And if there wasn't anything they could actually do, he could at least convince them the world would not end.

The show represented an idealism that you just don't see anymore. I was too young to have seen the episodes first-run where black community members were simply introduced, without fanfare, but that's exactly how he would have done it. Of course black people live in our city. Lots of people live in our city. They're just like you and me. They have the same jobs and live in the same houses because why shouldn't they? It wasn't polarized or political, it wasn't beating people over the head for not believing what he believed. It was simply matter-of-fact.

When he did the Emmys in 1997, you saw that idealism in practice. Of course there are special people in your lives who brought you to where you are today. Why wouldn't you honour them? And people obeyed, for he was right. (If you don't know this story, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Rogers#Emmys_for_programm... .)

I have a DVD of some of the episodes with a little toy cardigan wrapped around them. I was quite upset when he passed away, even with a graduate degree by then.

As a moral authority, there couldn't have been one much better in the United States.

His ministry was in the media with a focus on children and families so it was in no way former. To my understanding that "charge" was given as part of ordination after he was into his professional career and throughout it he remained an ordained minister within the presbyterian church.
I'm almost certain there was a guy on r/CryptoMarkets (or one of those crypto currency subs) who this happened to. He apparently traded a few bitcoin up to a few hundred in 2017. Then closed out his positions near the end of the year. Reinvested everything after the new year and lost almost all of it. If that's all true he could be on the hook for a lot of money.

You can look at the OSX kernel code, just grab Apple's XNU repository. I've built bootable kernels from it. The code's not terrible, but the weirdest part to me is that there's the OSFMK microkernel portion, and then there's the BSD subsystem. They use different types, and they have their own syscall tables, and it was never clear to me where a particular bit of code would reside. I only dabbled in it, of course.

I believe they factor into calculating the gain/loss. E.g., if you buy 100 units for $99 plus a $1 fee, then your cost basis is ($99 + $1)/(100 units) = $1.00/unit. If you later sell them all for $111 with a $1 fee, then your capital gain is ($111 - $1) - ($100) = $10.
