For a little more context, about 40% of the buildings in Manhattan couldn't be built under today's zoning laws: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/05/19/upshot/forty-...

In other words, the very thing that people move to NYC for can no longer be built in much of NYC. Pretty perverse.

> What do you about children born over the quota? Fine their families?

The way that our government/legal system is currently structured means every child born is likely to impose a cost on the general population/environment. So a fine doesn't seem entirely unfair.

Abstracting away Vulkan and Dx3D12
Over half the number of Muslim Nobel laureates (sciences and more), according to that Wikipedia link, have occurred since the year 200.

So, obviously, since the graph is spiking, we can expect to see lots more.

This is my sarcastic way of saying that taking a single metric which is affected by tons of different factors, and applying it to a complex
argument about, basically, sociology/anthropology (human behavior and culture) really doesn’t provide a lot of value.

I think your post opens a door to a lot of interesting conversations, but that using the # of Nobel Prize nominations per religious / cultural group as a metric closed most of those doors.

It’s also not very scientific.

Once they solve that then we can talk about an AI which can predict the outcomes of billions upon billions of individual decisions which are made by market actors to fulfill their wants and needs.
I am thinking about the end users. I am thinking that they should not be held hostage to the tiny number of app developers out there. If an end user has a problem with their app today, they don't have any choice but to throw themselves on the mercy of the developer, or upon the vain hope that other developers will come up with a competing app. If they have a problem with a PWA, they, or more likely their friend or their friend's kid in middle school who's learning HTML, can fix it.

Saying "Your app comes in a compiled and encrypted format, it's illegal to decompile it, and anyone making a competing app needs a Mac and $99" is the way to make life easier for the developer.
There are a whole bunch of examples of this, though "hide the decline" sticks out to me.

It's also the justification for keeping courts open to public attendance but barring recording equipment (in Canada).
This is tangential to your main point, but:

> did it in a way that obviates needing to know what a monad is, concern oneself with functional purity,

Caring about both of these things in the context of functional programming essentially dates from the early 1990s. According to Wikipedia (I have no better source, but it matches what I know of pre-1990s functional languages),

> Eugenio Moggi first described the general use of monads to structure programs in 1991.

Functional programming existed before then. Scheme, an early functional language, is from the 1970s. It has basically all the FP idioms that you have in Python, is not pure, is dynamically typed, and the doc never once references monads.

I'd actually say the definition of FP has shifted towards pure, category-theory oriented languages, but "traditionally functional stuff" definitely doesn't include monads.

DISCIPLINING REBELIOUS CHILDREN
It seems you are both correct, and the disagreement lies on the meaning 'personal':

- They use 'personal' as 'private', or 'information about you'. e.g. I have a fetish, I wish no one to know, it's 'personal'.

- You seem to use 'personal' as 'personally identifiable information'. e.g. if I have this data, I can know trace back to its originator.

The ambiguity can be found in many places around. Most people don't make the distinction. Rather, they think anything private is personal. At the same time, the definition you use can be found in official documents, like GDPR, the new EU Privacy Law (https://gdpr-info.eu/art-4-gdpr/).

How to Create a User Onboarding Process Flow That Decreases Churn
I've been taking Niagen for a couple of months, and I can say that for me it feels much better than niacin or niacinamide. I don't know why (perhaps I have some niacin metabolism problem, or the niacin interferes with some other impaired process such as the methylation cycle).

Also there seems to be some synergy between Niagen and resveratrol and pterostilbene that I can clearly notice. Foods that work well with Niagen are raisin(-bread) and olive oil. Of course, ymmv.

Thankfully, my current place did exactly the opposite. They stated what technologies they used, and had a distinct understanding that you would not know their inhouse app.

They also wanted to see your experience. So the first thing they do before an interview is a audition. You're sat down, on prem, (sys ad job) with Windows 2012 server, IIS, MSSQL, and a toy app. You have to make it work. They record the screencap, and review it as a team to see how you perform the job.

Frankly, I love how this place works and gets things done. Roadblocks are a thing, like all jobs.. But some of these are from those much higher up. But communication and support of your coworkers is absolutely amazing.

But the other thing, I work now in a regulated space. I knew that going in (3 good friends work there as well). Lying on my resume would not be, uhh, good :) There's these nice guys and ladys in suits who specialize in a wee more stringent background checks.

I'm not sure this is the model you want to emulate. The suggestions are terrible and continually getting worse.
To sue someone for doing something illegal, you first need some evidence that they're doing it. Google heavily employs confidentiality for that reason. Case in point: Antitrust investigations across the globe were launched into the Android MADA... but that didn't happen until years later, when the confidential agreements were revealed in the Oracle v. Google case.

As long as nobody knew what was happening, it went unpoliced. One of the ongoing HR-related lawsuits explicitly claims Google prohibits employees from revealing illegal conduct that the company engages in.
Like people in any other line of work, sex workers would rather focus on being good at their core business of providing fantasy entertainment than invest too much time in developing secondary technical skills.

By that same argument sex workers should also not be too concerned about learning how to drive, cook, or whatever else they need to do in their lives... the extremes of desire to specialise is what leads to centralisation.

When I was still in school, we learned about how to write (physical) letters and use addresses, phone numbers, and other such things that would be considered general knowledge today. Perhaps that should now include IPs and hostnames.

It's a pain in the ass keeping up with technological obsolescence year after year, and it's not all that easy to just pick up this stuff from scratch.

This "technological obolescence" is partly because currently the power to force such change is held by a tiny fraction of the population, and everyone else is clueless so can't do anything but follow along. If the balance of power changes, that will as well.
I don't know about the "messaging" one... of the big use cases for Firebase was just to send push notifications for numerous channels, and the tech came literally from usage in a chat system (then called Envolve). I haven't looked at this new URL shortener thing yet, though.
> Some particular names used in the examples were introduced by Python. For example the `enumerate` function or `zip`. I haven't seen those names used in programming languages older than Python, I know I might wrong.

All the ML dialects that I know have a zip function and ML pre-dates Python by about 20 years. This is particularly relevant since Rust is clearly strongly influenced by ML.

> The fact that those are functional I think is not particularly relevant. It's like someone seeing a comparison of Java and Go and saying that those are just the principles of imperative programming, or object oriented programming.

The comparison feels right, but I think it would certainly be odd if somebody explained loops in Go as "a Java idiom".

> The average Developer/Engineer/etc works about 60 hours a week, they work on things that generate millions of dollars.

Hardly anyone I know regularly works 60 hours a week..

Even if I generated a company millions of dollars, that doesn't give any indication of how much they should pay me because it doesn't count for much if a million other people can also generate them the same amount or more.

If you feel like you should get paid more then perhaps you should consider switching to a job where you would get paid more? If there are no takers then presumably you don't offer something which is valuable enough that companies are willing to pay the amount you think they should.

Of course, I suppose one of the big problems with programmers is that it's very difficult to measure job performance but either way, I have a very hard time complaining about my compensation.
C was not not free at all.

Small-C was probably the only dialect freely available, everything else was either commercial, or came for "free" with an UNIX workstation price tag.

In fact, it was due to Solaris change of heart regarding developers, that some devs started to contribute to GCC.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8988021

I have a few editions of Dr Dobbs Journal comparing C compilers, all commercial, GCC was yet to be relevant.
It's not really unfriendly for developers though, who I would expect make up a decent proportion of the intended audience, and who surely all have the 'Use F1, F2 keys as standard function keys' set.

As for the Touch Bar, yes, that's a problem with the standard keybindings (and is also why I'll probably only be a macOS/Marta user for a few months, as I'll never buy a laptop with a fake keyboard).

But settings to the rescue! Cmd-shift-p & 'open default keybindings' reveals that they're all configurable.
AKA, I can't define it but I know it when I see it.

> Long term, those governments need to modify primary and secondary school curricula to unambiguously dispel those myths.

How many people in the developed world believe that vaccination causes autism? Or that they have biological intolerance for MSG? Or take extreme doses of vitamins or minerals?

I don't think that any amount of grammar school curricula could overcome the human tendency to believe in crazy shit, non-backed by science or reason. This human nature even transcends class, and appears among the relative elite (e.g. fear of irradiated food, avoidance of gluten when your not even celiac, Elon Musk's belief that we live in an alien computer simulation, etc).

You can perhaps use school curricula to shift mainstream thought, the Overton window, etc. But there will always be enough "alternative view" enthusiasts that I doubt you could ever eliminate demand for rhino horn as an erectile dysfunction treatment.

Let's redo this. I can happily imagine that every child in the USA gets to find out if they are any good at hitting a baseball (#). So we can be fairly sure that the population of possible baseball picks is as wide as it can be - and is a proper bell curve.

But the population of those who have had chance to skate on ice and hit a puck is, even in canada, is not as wide as possible- so it won't be a bell curve - maybe double hump?

this gives us in my head a situation where even the top players in NHL are not the best possible from the whole country - but the baseball players are closer to that ideal because they draw from a more complete bell curve.

as such i speculate that NHL top players are not as good as possible because

- the top players are not the best possible from population compared to say sprinting

- the set of all players is more closely grouped (thinner curve) so any player is closer in ability to top players than say sprinting

- most sports probably still have plenty of "moneyball" left on the table

All of which is a long winded way of saying, if there is a sport where a non-professional can come in and perform distinguishedly, then there should be plenty of scope for investment and improvement and so consequent profit (wins at any rate)

(#) every male child at least, but let's not go down that road now.
