> there's this fiction that an OOP+FP hybrid will be loved by both OOP and FP programmers

That seems more of a strawman than a fiction: I've never seen anyone, especially in the Scala community, suggest this.

I've seen lots of people suggest that OOP+FP fusion is what allows Scala to provide an easy gradual on-ramp to FP for people and projects transitioning from Java, which is Scala’s key value proposition.

Not sure on all the details. Maybe it's only certain power companies.

I'm a transplant, but in my casual observations living here it seems like SFFD is pretty impressive and worthy of respect. I've seen neighbors call for minor issues, the response time has been very good and the calls taken seriously. It's almost as if they're keeping cultural memory of 1906 alive, i.e. they really don't want widespread fires.
I think it's worth considering that the HN crowd probably is a selection of the population that skews heavily toward being self motivated and reasonably well adjusted.

In my town, there's still a local paper, and they send out that one person, who is reasonably neutral, to report on what happens during, say, city council meetings. Without that person, you just have what the councilors say, what Angry Neighbors report (the parking! won't someone think of the parking!), or maybe a long, long, tedious recording that no sane person can sit through to make heads or tails of what happened.

That's super important stuff and has a lot more impact on my life than many things in DC.

How an App Could Give Some Gig Workers a Safety Net
This seems like a hilariously bad idea. You're basically building a system where whichever group has the most money to burn gets to decide the "truth". I would love you to change my mind though.
...

You own the client. You can watch the traffic in the browser before it is encrypted.
These days you shouldn't use a monolithic architecture IMHO, you should consider creating services or microservices with Node.js to provide API's to a "headless" frontend.

Depending on your "workloads" you can start simple with just API's to support your frontends, and then expand your architecture to include services for other services. You would need to consider whether you need caches (redis) or databases (postgresql, mongodb, etc). All these can be containerised as well.

There are also frameworks such as next.js and nuxt.js which can ease the server side rendering side of things, depending on your choice of frontend view library (React/Vue).

In terms of orchestration and deployment, consider building your services with a Dockerfile.

I've had some success for personal projects using something like Rancher (1.x) for easier orchestration and scaling of containers. But at some stage you might want to learn how to use Kubernetes, since it seems to be the in thing now for container orchestration, scheduling, etc. Rancher allowed me to manage hosts and clusters on multiple cloud providers once I had the Rancher manager node setup.

So it can vary from case to case, depending on what your app actually does, you could still use koa+sequelize + passport for your API's. The above are just my own suggestions.

If you choose to go down the serverless road I would recommend checking out the Serverless framework, which can help you with deving as well as deploying to your cloud provider of choice.

Good luck!

Energy prices plummeting in the middle of the day creates an enormous economic incentive for energy storage or demand shifting, which in turn makes energy in the middle of the day more valuable.
Probably code size. Any two template instantiations, even if they produce identical machine code or in-memory representation, will generally be output twice due to language requirements like needing distinct memory addresses and linkage for things like functions, static data members, static locals, RTTI, vtables etc.

Airlines Urge Clampdown on Flying with Pets
Yeah I think about this in the context of energy density in batteries. Liquid fuel like gasoline has huge benefits for personal transportation just because of the energy density. I wonder what amount of clean energy it would take to make some kind of synthetic/green(?) fuel similar to E85 (E100?). The cost of the fuel could include the carbon capture based on how the fuel is burned.

e: looks like you missed a link but I looked up Carbon Engineering and if what they say is true that is really exciting. Especially for airlines and shipping.

>But there are also people who see, for example, the "living Constitution" jurisprudence as not actually upholding the Constitution, but rather just saying what you want and calling it the law.

And those people are incorrect. It's incorrect to believe that all modern Constitutional law and Supreme Court decisions are the result of judges and lawmakers simply making up whatever interpretation they like without any basis in, study of, or respect for the Constitution.

The alternative would be to pretend to know in all cases what an eighteenth century philosopher would decide about an issue of law in the context of modern society.
> But nationwide, there's been no mass replacement of local newspapers. Non-profit online sites are largely based in major metro areas.

Is this really true? I've heard of at least a couple of non-profit newspapers opening in small towns including the one I'm from, and I don't really pay that close of attention to this stuff. For enterprising journalists there are a lot of people willing to pay/donate to these causes. Optimistically, the funding can move from ad/subscription more to donations/grants and the local reporting can continue.

Not true, especially in big city departments. Sure there are days when you run 3 or 4 calls and you get a lot of downtime, but most departments run 3000 or more calls a year. Do the math.

But yeah utilizing their downtime is smart. And you're gonna build a damn good ladder and not cut corners if you know you're going to be standing on it.
"Red Flag #4: You aren’t working with people who were experts in the old system.”

It's interesting that "Hawaiian" has a different meaning on the islands, and that people might not say "Hawaiian shirt" there just like people don't say "French bread" in France. However, pointing out supposed insensitivity to ethnic groups is pretty much the main hobbyhorse of moralizing busybodies the world over in 2018, and unlikely to win you much affection. It's got to the point where the phrase "the n-word" strikes one as unseemly, and we'll start saying "the word that starts with the letter that comes after 'M'".

Btw here's my site: ..." — i.e. copy-paste generic Thanks + a spam link), nothing happened (Disqus didn't delete them).

Downtown Charlotte is definitely a strict grid pattern. I think Charlotte is more a victim here of having really widely defined city limits than anything else. Do a graph of just downtown Charlotte and it'd look just as much like a strict grid as Manhattan does (which, worth noting, is not all of NYC).
For those interested in historical steel production, I'd recommend watching this beautiful documentary from 1945, made by the British Council in postwar Britain.

It shows massive industrial steel plants operated entirely by hand - highly trained teams of men spending their days doing what we'd do with computers, pulling levers and operating wheels to control individual parameters of steel-making machines, and turning out steel made with incredible precision.

The narrator, John Laurie, later became famous for playing Private James Frazer in the UK sitcom Dad's Army.

ive spent most of my last 10 years on a ladder due to my job. This is absurd. Aluminum ladders require practically no maintenance and are far far lighter. Weight of a ladder being a significant factor in set up speed, required manpower for set up, and ease of handling. A wood ladder is completely impractical. Fiberglass however is another great option.

Launching the Pit.AI Research Paper Series
With this good article I think I have a good question.

The reference to Martin Fowler’s strangler pattern (https://www.martinfowler.com/bliki/StranglerApplication.html) was mentioned in the article to grow the new system in the same codebase until the old system is strangled. In my case (Ionic 1 to 2) however, both the entire framework and the language are different. How should the strangler pattern work in this case?
From the article:

> Wood is resilient in ways which aluminum—now standard for fire department ladders—can't even compare. "You know if you take an empty coke can and bend it three or four times and it tears really easy? That's what aluminum ladders will do," Braun says. "They have a seven to eight year lifespan, after which they need to be replaced."

> Wooden ladders, on the other hand, can last indefinitely. "You can stress wood right up to its failure point a million times; as long as you don't go beyond that, it will come right back to where it was. They can be involved in a fire for a pretty long time; after that, it's just a matter of sanding off the top coat of material then inspecting the wood. If it's good we'll re-oil it, revarnish it, and put it back in service."
It'd be cool to see this weighted by street size (using, e.g., average daily traffic numbers). Granted that data is harder to come up with.

The DC plot would tell a different story then, because the avenues are all off-axis and few in number, but they're big streets with traffic light priority that handle a lot of car traffic.
