Interestingly enough, there's some prior art in the German Type 212 submarines, looks like it's production ready: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_212_submarine

Thanks for pointing out the typo. Wish I could fix it :/ I'll be more diligent about them in the future.

It's every work day, so five days a week, but your point still stands. I think the daily part is pretty integral to the premise, although I understand your concerns. Currently, and for the foreseeable future, I have the time to invest in this. I guess we'll have to wait and see. I can promise that I will be listening to feedback.

From what I've seen during the time I have been doing this, there's more than enough languages right now to fill at least 5 years, and this is assuming no other languages are being developed during this time. Also, I have a list of my own which contains languages that are not in the link you provided but have a Wikipedia page (Befunge for example), so that list is definitely not exhaustive. And finally, two years is a pretty good runtime :)

Friendship is important, especially in business. People don't always see the potential instantly, that's why I would advise you to have a sit down with him. If you want someone to be involved, involve them.

Finding someone else will be equally hard, if not harder since you won't share a friendship or similar vision that lead to the "idea" in the first place.

I believe everyone to have potential, its up to you to get it out of them—if you want a successful company at least.
What advanced settings allows is to edit the blocking rules with something like the uMatrix gui. Once advanced is set, open the uBlock dropdown, then click on "requests blocked".

You will see a table with three columns. The second column edits the global rules, the third one is for local rules. Each of the rows in them shows three bars once you hover over one. Green = allow, grey = noop, red = deny. (Noop is the setting to not overrule the adblocker lists.)

In the "all" row at the top, click on green in the global column, to allow everything everywhere. Click the lock icon. Now uBlock won't interfere at all.

On a site where you want to block according to the lists, open the dropdown, and in the row with the site's domain name, click the grey bar in the local column. Click the lock icon to save the setting across sessions. uBlock will apply the lists' rules to that site.

If this is unclear, I can make a guide with images.

> the US doesn't have a swaddling tradition

The US does have a swaddling tradition, but it's a different kind of swaddling than other countries. We've swaddled kids to put them to sleep for decades if not centuries, but we don't hang up our kids on the wall so that we can work the fields or whatever.

> Maybe reality isn't fundamentally particle-like, but field-like.

But then we get into metaphysical and epistemological questions which are obviously unavoidable once you start making claims about what is or is not "fundamental". This is because "fundamental" has to include both the nature of reality and our means of perceiving it. It is common today to project how we perceive onto what we perceive but they must be distinct in any valid theory.

Claiming that reality itself is probabilistic is one example of this projection, though it may very well be a fundamental limit of our means of perception it is not a property of what we perceive.

Consumers need to be more responsible and skeptical about the choices advertisers want them to make. Don't have so many kids, stay healthy first and foremost, don't develop bad spending habits, do develop good savings habits, and use your job as a vessel to forward your career, and not your paycheck.

You're speaking from a position of privilege in time, money and access. Many people start out life with involuntary handicaps, physical ailments and hell, just shitty luck. It's very easy to criticize people who made one or two bad decisions (or had bad things happen) early on and have to deal with it.

Also just about any software that handles business workflow. A common tradeoff in development is dynamic vs efficiency. For example, in a database, if you can define columns for properties you know about, you will have a much faster database than if you created a bunch of "Thing" tables with "ThingProperty" relationships.

PatientId
FirstName
LastName

vs

THING
=====
Id
ThingTypeId

THINGPROPERTY

Storing it doesn't take too much of a noticeable hit, but any queries on "Thing" tables get expensive real fast.
On the investing side, being excessively conservative with your money is often worse than being too aggressive. By holding all your wealth in cash you're trading an explicit set of risks for an invisible set. Holding lots of cash or fixed income products is a huge mistake.
> Elected officials have a fiduciary duty to citizens of the US, not citizens of other countries.

This argument assumes the nationalist position, rather than addressing its (immense) flaws (a proven track record of promoting hatred, of leading to war and disaster, and of being wrong - peaceful international cooperation in the West has predominated for generations, with the result being the most successful boom of political and economic welfare in the history of humanity).

A belief in the idea of liberty, rather than ethnicity, is the foundation of the United States. 'All men are created equal' was why the U.S. was formed; not 'All Americans' or 'All white people'. Human rights must be universal; if the other guy doesn't have them then neither do you. Universal human rights has been a foundation of U.S. foreign policy for generations, with great effect: The world is now filled with democratic, free countries, like never before. People in the U.S. have always cared about the freedom of others. The nationalist position of the current administration is an extreme exception, not the rule.

It's also is in the U.S.'s self-interest: Free democracies are peaceful, and they are prosperous, which makes them good trading partners. All the wealthiest countries in the world are democracies. Also, democracies rarely if ever start international wars (the U.S. having become the prominent exception during this century).

> Think China cares about US citizens beyond what it can give China?

I don't know who "China" is. Do people in China care about the welfare of people besides themselves? Of course. Most human beings are not sociopaths, despite the nationalist assumption that they are - really the desire, because it promotes more nationalism.. Does Xi Jinping? As the dictatorial, oppressive ruler of over a billion people, he seems mostly interested in his own power and not their welfare, or anyone else's.

I think maybe for Ocaml programmers, most probably understand the "what". They're functions holding to specific rules, dispatched on return types. That's pretty boring fare for Ocaml folks.

Maybe the better question for Ocaml folks is "Why Monads?"

Would that be a more interesting response?
I think maybe you could if you bred from the most human-friendly zebras yo could find for a century or so. But nobody has really tried that, people are so impatient these days.
There used to be a distinction between aspergers and autism in the DSMV, although the eventually removed it on the grounds that the two groups were just different magnitudes of the same symptoms. I think that we should keep the term aspergers around for social reasons, maybe not in our medical lexicon but surely in our cultural one.

No, I was stating that I use Gogs (because I actually like that philosophy), not sure what you are talking about.
Certain economic needs - food, shelter, health care, education, etc. - are human rights.

I'm not sure what else you are referring to. Who said it's ok to enslave people? Or that the economic rights were the only ones that mattered?

Absolutely not; it's wrong to look the other way. I shouldn't either.

You are so right. I've been saying my whole life that if animators would just make their characters bald, the manhours we would recoup as a species would be truly transformative.
I'm probably misunderstanding or oversimplifying somehow, but, isn't it also a problem for these types of economic estimates that sometimes the new chips are actually cheaper than the the old chips in today's real world markets?

Example:

Right now Amazon is listing the overclockable Skylake Core i7 6700K 4 GHz 4 core at $392.76

https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Unlocked-Skylake-Processor-BX80...

Also right now, the newer, overclockable Core i7 4.7 GHz 6 core 8700K is offered at $347.06.

https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i7-8700K-Processor-Unlocked-BX8...

The newer chip has two additional cores and a higher peak frequency, but it's about $50 cheaper.

Would an economist conclude that this means industry output went down in this particular case?

How do economists work this sort of market-pricing reality into their estimates of computer industry value?

> Autism is complicated because it is more a set of descriptions of related symptoms, in which each individual may have more or less of each symptom. From what I understand, autism can't be viewed as a "rating" of better or worse autism. Instead it should be viewed as a gradient of behaviors, individually are considered more or less functional.

I guess that's what the article is about, but it doesn't communicate the range as well as your post does. I wonder though, what's the purpose of having such an amorphous definition? The word becomes completely useless the more symptoms it describes. And the more symptoms it describes, the more unlikely it is that they're even at all related in terms of root cause and treatment. And I would think that results in a reduction in research progress.

> I agree that it may be more pertinent to create different categories of autism based on the group of symptoms

I know little about this topic, but this seems destined to fail and unnecessary. What's wrong with simply describing the actual symptoms? They're clear enough on their own. And boxing them up into a convenient single word diagnosis doesn't seem helpful at this stage of understanding.

For example:

> There are people who are non-verbal but sign or write perfectly well, what are they considered?

I would consider these as people who communicate well via non-verbal methods only.

> There are people who are very vocal but speak with an awkward cadence and have mood swings, are they "really autistic"?

Drop the autistic binary and just call them people with mood swings. Perhaps clarify that the mood swings can be disruptive and uncontrollable, or if that isn't the case, don't mention it at all because everybody has non-disruptive mood swings and deals with it. The awkward cadence doesn't even require mentioning if they can communicate effectively.

> There are people who are verbally eloquent but constantly participate in stim behavior and need constant observation to make sure they clothe, bathe, and feed themselves appropriately, do they have "real autism"?

The description stands on its own perfectly well without trying to determine if it's "autism". How does it help to make that distinction?
Or, stop consuming so much shit.

It's OK to not have everything, you know?

I wonder if it might be easier to do the serial dilution of the ascorbic acid in water. It should be much easier to thoroughly mix than flour. If you're adding water to the mixture anyway, you can replace some or all of it with the diluted ascorbic acid.

My bread-making is much more primitive, but if i add salt and sugar, i do it by dissolving them in the water, to make sure they're evenly spread throughout the dough.

My understanding of monads, based on the examples in this paper, is that a monad essentially takes a series of computational steps and augments then with a secondary piece of data (a value to be printed, an error, etc).

So my question is this: in languages which use monads (like Haskell), is this how monads are actually implemented? Does, say, printing values in Haskell actually involve keeping track of a lazy stream of output text, or does GHC just print out values the way an imperative language would, and use the concept of monads as a way to satisfy the type-system requirements?
I get that it's material to BRK how long they're going to have Buffett and Munger, but isn't it a little weird how this article supplies their ages?
Right. The lack of good educational resources, poverty, structural imbalances, staggering income inequality, a government that deliberately makes access to contraception hard - all these are clearly deliberate choices to not stay healthy.

Maybe that answer is people instead discovering that there's a trait called empathy. That luck and circumstances shape most of our lives. That ignoring that makes you into a horrible human being who's entirely self-centered.

Not you, obviously, but just in general.

I used to design these devices (deep brain stimulators).

As part of the design process for every FDA-regulated product, you are obliged to perform a risk analysis to judge the severity and probability of risks to a patient using your product.

One of the risks was “Exposed to a strong current that could destroy/disable the onboard electronics”. The design mitigation was a fail safe shutdown.
I wouldn't say that directly, maybe it gains more trust because it's serving on their own code, but maybe this could also decrease the contributions because the people got to authenticate on just another system to contribute something.

We will see how well this works out, most required features are already there, the remaining will follow soonish.

Go with Versions – Russ Cox
I've noticed there's a hiring difference between startups that have at least 2-3+ years of proven financials and startups that don't. At some early stage startups (say <11 months runway in Seed/Series A) hiring seems like a shit show because they often don't have HR or recruiters/talent acquisition yet. They realize they are small and are trying to get the most bang for their (well, someone else's) buck.

Not all do this, but some things I've seen/heard done by a handful of small, "scrappy" startups:

- Interviewing candidates knowing they don't have the budget to even give them a job. It's a shitty thing to do because they are essentially knowingly wasting someone's time only to say "Yea, you're a great fit, we just need a few months to be ready to onboard someone for this role!"

- Putting up unrealistic salary ranges on angel.co to look competitive to attract more applicants, then giving an offer that's 10-20% lower in salary than what was given (or pulling the "another applicant is willing to do the $100k advertised job for $80k, but we want to hire you, would you be able to come down to meet that number?" card).

- Giving applicants "day in the life" interviews, where you sign an NDA, work a full 8 hour day, then don't get compensated for it. Sometimes 6-10 people are given these kinds of interviews for a 1 person job opening, and it's mostly just getting free work.

- Bosses setting an expectation for a great work-life balance in the interviews, talking about how "they value their employees time", then expecting everyone to work 10 hours per day or be on call at whatever whim someone needs work done.

- Assuming that because someone is foreign, they must be used to working long hours for little pay and not complaining about it. Even with contractors, there was a boss who hired a team in Ukraine, was invoiced $20k, then only paid them $15k without any legitimate reasons and said "well, that's still a lot of money for you so just be happy with it." It's amazing how shitty some people are when they make themselves seem so outwardly exuberant or buddy-buddy in person.

How many centuries did it take us to donesticate horses? Probably quite a few...

The only argument offered for the Why in the title is this one:

Yet clearly we weren’t such a shock to the horse’s ancestors that we simply ate them all... as we did everything in the Americas. Maybe because of earlier proto-humans? So is this some kind of goldilocks argument?

I've seen people in the gym three or four times a week that couldn't walk and did upper body exercise. I've seen elderly people with arthritis do water aerobics, my own grandfather with diabetes had his leg amputated and was active until in the field taking care of his cows until he passed.

Heck, I have cerebral palsy (mostly affects my left hand and to a lesser extent my left foot) but I was a part time fitness instructor for 12 years, ran 5K - 15Ks. and even now I work out 5 - 8 hours a week.

In other words do what you can with in your limits. If you have kids that can walk, take them walking with you. Make them part of your activity.

Yes, it would be, please fire away.

As an OCaml beginner my understanding is that I can do away with needing to understand monadic IO (yet) because OCaml is non-lazy and allows side-effects. I also like monadic parser combinators because they'll allow me to write parsers without the tedium of recursive descent, or being reliant upon parser generators. I have a rough understanding of monads as a purely algebraic abstraction (https://arcanesentiment.blogspot.in/2017/06/purely-algebraic...) and an even vaguer idea as a "representation of computations as values", based on this excellent thread: https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/can-monads-help-me-my-refactor-c...

But I don't grok it yet, which I'm sure I'll be able to once I find an occasion to use it. I suspect I'll hit that point sooner if I were using Haskell than OCaml though. I'm still collecting analogies (burritos, boxes, "smart pipes") and I want more. If nothing else, it is fun, and contrary to popular opinion, I don't think it distracts me from its essentially abstract nature.
