My ideal syntax for that expression is very close to yours, something like str.join(1..10, ', '). Looking at our two approaches I noticed something -- yours has no space after the comma, and mine does, so how would Avail express that distinction without becoming even more verbose?

Elm is also a language. Surely it's libraries and runtime assume JS and DOM, but nothing prevents creating other ports of the language or creating alternative libraries.

And yes, Elm is opinionated. But that is a consequence of being very simple and pure functional language. As its typesystem does not support using monads or effects to model state with code similar in style to that in non-functional languages, one inevitably ends up with a runtime similar to Elm browser bindings in any Elm embedding.

Essentially Elm is opinionated because its pure functional style is the only style supported by the language with no escape hatches like the do blocks in Haskell or PureScript.
While we don’t have the full story here, I’m betting that Valve isn’t being entirely forthcoming on the reason.

One of the features that Valve talked about was using their Steam Controller with the app.

Since the Steam Controller is not MFi-certified, there was speculation that this feature worked by emulating a keyboard, and sending input as key presses.

This similar to iCade, which has been in the App Store for quite a while.

I’d wager that it’s this bypass of the MFi program which is irking Apple, not the screen sharing function.

Secretary of Commerce is actually intimately involved with space - most regulation of US space activity goes through the FCC, and Ross has been talking up reforms to that administrative process. (In part, it seems, as a power grab WRT the DoT and maybe DoD, which currently do a lot of the regulatory work he's talked about undertaking.)
Tor routes more packets through "trusted" nodes that have a history of being fast, and so on. I wonder whether an automated kill switch would affect those statistics (resulting in possibly lower overall network bandwidth because the trust level of most nodes would be worse).

It's only recently that people have started to assign blame and responsibility to the platform hosting the content (really only after the US election drama).

Back in the earlier days of the internet the attitude was quite different.

It was all celebrated free speech and "anyone is empowered to do anything it's all open and free and happy for everybody and there's some bad stuff so what" (happy early Web 2.0 days where the web was moving from static pages to "textboxes and submit buttons").

Now a pin drops and 50 publications write an "Facebook negligently allowed someone to ... they must be held accountable and regulated and broken apart" article.

It's just a mindless pendulum swing. Those of us in the middle always get the shit. Back in the day we got blamed for saying anything against the "open and free and rainbows for all humanity" rhetoric and now it's gone to the other side.
It's not the GDPR that's stupid, it's whoever runs this site. Compliance isn't hard.
That is highly dependent on the law. For example the United States will prosecute citizens that have sex with child prostitutes in other countries, even if that is where they reside full time. Other laws like the GPDR you mentioned are dependent on the physical location of the activity

This is a very scientific sounding description that basically says "anything can happen". I mean our current economical system exists since WW2, so you can't even fit 2 40-50 years slices in there. And while the environment inside the US might seem similar, you can't really ignore how the "local" markets are globally interconnected. For instance one reason for housing prices rising in the last decade might very well be connected to the rise of Chinese economic power, leading to millions of Chinese coming to the US and buying property there.

The worst that can happen is described in GDPR quite clearly https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CEL...

Note that I'm certainly NOT a lawyer.

..but still here in European Union the preference has been (at least pre-GDPR era) to first give a written warning to service provider about not being inline with the regulations. This has also included a period during which the provider can fix it's behavior. If regulations are not met after given period only then (usually progressively and aligned with the extent of the business and real damages caused) monetary penalties will arrive. This is EU not US.

When looking here from Finland GDPR is not that big change as we have had quite strict national regulations in place since 1999. The biggest change here is that user should really be able to get all it's data removed permanently from whatever service she/he has previously used (usually referred with terms right-to-be-forgotten). Another big change is that it is not anymore up to only the actual end-user to raise a lawsuit about personal data losses but to give also for an authoritative entity possibility to raise that lawsuit without prior actions of the original end-user.
A recent "The Indicator from Planet Money" podcast episode "Rising Rates Vs. The Housing Market" explains how housing price declines don't necessarily follow from rising mortgage interest rates.
I've witnessed this myself. In 2009 the company I was working for in Calabasas, California, laid off a lot of people. Since I rented, I was able to end my lease and move to a new job in Orange County. Colleagues who had bought and were underwater were forced to search for new jobs within commuting distance of their house.
In this case, the training is supervised. It’s a simple convolutional neural network that predicts the turning angle based on the image of the line on the “road”.
Dashcam videos typically do not capture nighttime scenes very well. Any human would have been able to see the pedestrian well in advance of a collision. There are cell phone videos of that same stretch of road at night and they show the illumination level much better than the Uber video.
Well, then those people can default and declare bankruptcy.

I will take people declaring bankruptcy over people being unable to afford to live in a home ANY day.

The system is set up to keep rich people being rich and in control, just like always. It's not at all random who is in control. Someone makes those decisions and it's not the public through elections :)

We never left the age of kings and peasants. We just have different names. The difference in income has only increased, and the gladiator arenas used to entertain the masses was replaced with sports and computer games.

We are more comfortable now though but so are the rich people.
That's the recipe for political enforcement of draconian laws. It's especially dangerous for big foreign american companies which are perfect for politicians to demagogue about. I would not bet the business on any extra-legal grace from their beuracracy.
Move along, nothing to see here.

It is quite stunning how lightweight and meaningless this editorial is. The only real question is why NYT printed it. There is undoubtedly a reason somewhere in the bowels of the newsroom, but it is certainly not a reason to read it, much less to post a link to it.

Point taken. But in the above example, why does Ruby do it as 'upcase' instead of the more English-y and popular 'uppercase' as most other languages use?

Take a more esoteric example - to capitalise just the first letter of a string. By definition, this is called 'proper case', and most other languages I know use .proper() to achieve this. Except Ruby, which decided to use .titleize() (and there is that 'ize' again just to confound me further).

If a language is going to be 'English-y', then sticking to actual English words for things such as uppercase, proper case etc. would be handy. Going outside of those constraints just increases the guessing game workload for the programmer.
Milk (and milk-derived foods like cheese and butter) have been a staple food in Europe for more than seven millennia. That's why most European-descended people are lactose-tolerant; it was so nutritious that we kept eating it until we evolved a tolerance for it. If your ancestors were European (or African, or Mongolian), you are absolutely "made" to drink milk.

I never understood why drinking animal milk is supposed to be weirder than killing them and eating their flesh, anyway.
I was really looking forward to the PH-2. For me their USP was that the phone had no logo and that they sold them as being non-affiliated with any big corp software-though that may not be entirely true, it did raise my hopes of replacing the software with something more 'open' and just benefit from good hardware (easier said than done).

I think this a sign I move to a dumb phone.

What the hell happened to Microsoft's design aesthetics?

Windows 7 started by making all the taskbar active app buttons similar. If you had multiple application windows open, with multiple app buttons, then you couldn't easily tell which window was the active window. This continues to be a frustration.

Windows 8 was a colossal mistake. They pushed a tablet design, for everyone with a PC. You had to simulate the swipe-from-the-right, by clicking and dragging your mouse from the right side of the screen. Huh? Who thought this was a good idea? And this level of mistake came from a seasoned OS manufacturer? How idiotic was this team?

Windows 9, I mean, 10, was, is a hideous nightmare to use. It's UI is still half-baked. They killed all colors, that helped to give identifying information on an icon or a text, and made everything flat and gray. It's like I went color blind, and have to look at everything in black and white. This makes it harder to use.

Office, they went over-board with the flat design. Things that used to be easy to identify before, are now more difficult, because they removed color from their interface.

Windows phone. Why would I want Live Tiles that constantly flip on me, for no apparent reason? Every time it flips, it just constantly asks for my attention. This was a poor design choice.

And also, the flat design, and lack of color on their Windows phone. Everything is all one color, which means that I have to look at every icon, to identify what program I want to open. Whereas with the iPhone, I just look for the icon with a particular color, like red.

Of course, this is just my personal opinion. And there are people who love the flat designs, and Microsoft's decisions to make everything ugly and more difficult to use.

I can't stand the bland Stock Android UI, some of us do like using good looking UIs.

> An early—and perhaps the first formal—inquiry into this phenomenon was done by Aristotle in his On Divination in Sleep. His criticism of these claims appeals to the fact that "the sender of such dreams should be God"

I respectfully disagree on this with Aristotle. Dreams are sent to the conscious mind by the organisms in our gut, that is, by the microbiome. Because it is those organisms who “color” our perception of the world.

The microbiome connection is suggested to me because I believe there is a cause and effect relation between food we ate before going to bed ant the type of nightmare we “see” in our sleep. (Not sure if this applies to all dreams and not only to nightmares.)

I wish they made an experiment about this. For instance, a subject may be asked to eat cheese before going to bed. Does he have a certain type of nightmare every time he eats cheese? For instance, every time he eats cheese he may “see” a nightmare where he cannot find something that he lost.

On the other hand, for instance, when he eats a heavy meal of fatty meat, he may have a nightmare where evil powers are chasing him.

Or some other food class may trigger nightmares where he is lost and he cannot find his way. And so on.

So, the experiment will try to tie recurring nightmares to some specific food class. And this will prove that nightmares and maybe all dreams have their origin in the guts.

>> Says some random dude on the Internet that seems to be a tremendous fan of GDPR.

Let's be a little self-conscious here, shall we?

Of all the articles on HN that discuss the GDPR that I've read, I've found one that you didn't contribute to and your contributions never show an "understanding of laws based on the text of the law". For instance, you have consistently claimed that there will be 28 (btw, not 27) different interpretations of the law, completely disregarding entire articles devoted to the consistent application of the Regulation- which, as a regulation, does not need to be made into local law and is applicable across the bloc.

You are clearly on a warpath against the GDPR, which is perfectly fine of course; yet at the same time you accuse jacquesm of being a "tremendous fan of the GDPR". If you can express your opinion despite having an agenda, so can he - and he seems to be much better informed of the law than you are.

Edit: Just to clarify, I don't have some axe to grind against you. You're one of the few users whose handle I recognise because your comments in GDPR threads stand out so much in their fervour and because there are so many of them.
That's pretty awesome. I hear often how perfectly on time the trains are there, which is usually true. However, I've experienced some train delays in Japan, mostly in Tokyo. One was so bad I ended up doing something else for a couple hours to wait until it got resolved.

Here's an article that reviews info from a report on rush hour delays in Tokyo for those interested.

Most mortgages in the US are sold to Fannie and Freddy (government-sponsored enterprises) [1]. These GSEs in fact commit themselves to buy mortgages at a predetermined rate [2], and I suspect this rate is the main driver for the rates banks charge, at least for "qualifying mortages" (i.e. not jumbo loans and so on). In turn, I suspect the rates the GSEs offer depends on the rates at which the GSEs can finance themselves.

Now, who lends to these agencies (i.e. who purchases "agency MBS")? I couldn't find recent numbers, but this [3] FRBNY article from 2015 states that the Fed owns most of it, followed by banks (which buy agency mbs partly because it counts as a safe asset (a "high quality liquid asset"), and allows them to satisfy their liquidity coverage ratio requirements.

This leads me to your first point:

> Mortgage rates are, mostly, driven by the market.

Pre-2008, I would say probably yes, but nowadays I'm not entirely sure, as the govt. is the biggest buyer and plays a large role in the second-biggest buyer.

It's a very nice idea but these tools always have limitations that become super annoying after a while.

Programming is total freedom to do what you want and these tools try to make it look like you cab drag and drop data flows together and it will just work in a optimal way. And it will at first, until your first special or odd requirement needs to somehow be implemented in that tool.
Think about it the other way around, that you would lend someone a significant amount of money, that you could also invest in stock, into your own business etc. I think 1.5% is really low, when you think about it that way.
Yeah, I've switched to a US exit.

I mean, that's an ambiguous term to begin with, and you'd confuse even humans with it.

Like, are you referring to a sculpture made of cocaine in the image of a poodle, or are you talking about a poodle train in the ways of a St. Bernard rescue dog, capable of relaying quantities of said substance, or perhaps something else entirely?
Back in 2009, using chromium instead of IE in WPF was the only way to do overlays (that wouldn’t burn air space) and effects efficiently. Since WPF has been stagnant for so long, I wonder if there still isn’t a better solution than using chrome.

Phi is dead. The next NERSC computer is GPUs. Not sure what Argonne is doing but there’s no reason to think it won’t be GPUs. The only reason Phi/KNL made sense was because it seemed like a conservative choice when GPUs were more exotic, which may have been okay if Intel didn’t have the crazy yield problems they had. FPGAs don’t make sense because the conservative choice at this point is GPU. I don’t think any of the leading compute facilities have the stomach for a new technology like this, especially from intel.

3.5% in the US is probably adjustable rate. 30-year fixed rate is around 4.66% (http://www.freddiemac.com/pmms/). Note that, AFAIK, the US is the only country in the world to offer fixed 30-year mortgage rates.

Here in Australia five year fixed rates are around 4.79%.

Swedish rates are crazy low. Lots of people are going to go bankrupt when they're forced to renew at higher rates.
3.5% is low in the US, but it also depends on the duration and type of the loan.

Rates below 2% would be exceptionally rare, but you can't compare rates if you don't also consider the other terms of the loan.. Are your <1% loans for the full price of the home, or a reduced price after accounting for you paying for some percentage in cash? (in the US, known as a down payment)

In practice, browsers does not recognize HTML versions. All HTML is handled by the same engine. This is one of the reasons HTML has moved to a living standard - the versioning was purely an artifact of the standard document and did not correspond to versioning in the rendering engines. (XHTML did introduce branching front-end parsers, which was a lot of wasted work.)

Adding new backward-compatible features does not require branching the engine, neither does removing older features.

The quirks/standards-mode distinction did require branching engines, and it has lead to increased complexity and testing burden. It was necessary at the time to move forward so the cost was accepted, but it is a complexity burden all browser have to carry for the foreseeable future. There should be a very good reason to introduce such branching - wanting to write "flatten" rather than "flat" is not a good enough reason.

Marquee was never supported by all browsers. But the article does mention some widely supported elements where support have been removed (<keygen>, <applet>) so it is not unheard of. But it requires that the element is almost never used on the web. Apparently this is not the case for MooTools library in question which still has some penetration.

How did they do it? I know they used custom BSD servers so that a single box could keep close to 1M TCP connections open. I'm sure with a fixed target to aim for and all scope known upfront a small crack team of devs could do something similar for Twitter.
This is why in my opinion local goverment should somehow credibly commit to keep land prices nominally constant by adjusting taxes on property. (Land, not buildings) Inflation would take care of long term lowering of the housing costs which is arguably a good thing to most people.

Cmon it wasn't just yield problems. Premise that you can just recompile CPU code and it would run quickly on Phi was false.
Yeah, there’s less of a relationship between those than one would think. Slightly related: it’s time to phase out the mortgage interest deduction and plow that revenue into affordable housing.
