Didn't core.typed try to do the same thing? Not provide comprehensive types but just as needed? I never really used it (a coworker did but ended up throwing it out I think). Even if it's exactly the same technically maybe it'll work out with a different set of social circumstances. Maybe if Circle didn't drop core.typed it'd be even more popular now. Never know about these things.

Haha, well that's where you and I differ. The REPL is amazing, but I still want my ability to create closed world assumptions first!
I don't know where the balance is and I'm not a parent but... I feel like I wish my parents had forced me to learn a musical instrument. My whole fathers side of the family plays/played. Some famiously so. My parents took the "if he shows interest attitude"

I know of almost zero kids that enjoy practicing their instrument as a kid yet I believe the majority of adults are happy for the experience. (I have no data tho). I certainly just wanted to do other things (play with friends) so I showed no or not enough interest for my parents to push/encourge learning an instrument.

Assuming I'm correct following the advice of "see what they're interested in" would seem to lead to worse outcomes at some level.

of course I'm not suggesting shoving things down their throats so to speak rather it seems like there's room for some balance between only encourage their interest and require them to do x?
The choice of example database (the death penalty) is terrific.

So much more interesting, important and compelling than the usual tired customer/product examples.

I'm tired of seeing the implicit assumption around the place that software is just about business. Software should be about more than that.
Personally I find the "random shit on camera" is just fine, as long as the delivery is sufficiently appropriate. But my use case is usually to help me unwind and get to sleep so if the content is too interesting it's counter-productive.

I think the true effect you're probably referring to by the 'unintentional' ASMR is hard to achieve so I guess I don't hold most of the Youtube stuff to that standard as long as I get what I want out of it. I guess this is a long-winded way of saying YMMV.

That said if you or anyone wants to make some suggestions of high-quality ASMR videos I'd be interested.

Yeah it’s the cons operator so it matches the first element (head) of the list and next elements (tail). It would need a reverse and reverse back to work correctly.

The F-14 didn't have any purpose during the Cold War either. It was an idiotic fantasy toy, just like the carriers on which it sailed. All of that hardware would have been on the bottom of the ocean in the first half hour of a war with the USSR.

They're absolutely brilliant against barbarians, though.

Same, I demand my partner uses headphones whenever she listens to ASMR in bed (which is pretty often). It makes me very uncomfortable. It's almost an irrational reaction, but a real and uncontrollable one for me.
Yup, I also use the same technique.

I think of black, but I make it a little more interesting as the black of deep space.

Like meditation, any thoughts that come in, and I focus back on the black.

Generally, I don't even need to do this - I tend to fall asleep pretty fast.
The pedestrian button thing varies wildly in the US.

I have several pedestrian crossings where the if you as a pedestrian don't hit the button... you'll never get a signal to cross and the traffic is not impacted. But if you do push it, it does give you time to cross and holds the cars longer.

One place traffic never stops, until you hit the pedestrian crossing button, and then they have to stop.

On the other hand in some pedestrian dense / slow traffic areas I know the buttons don't do anything as the pedestrian crossing lights just change with the lights, but only during high pedestrian traffic times.

I think it has more to do with policy and how you want to time your lighting systems and it varies wildly in the US
Did you read any of the preceding - about prop 13 in particular? It doesn’t sound like it.
Not always as easy as you make it sound, it's hard to avoid it when you live with (or share a bed with) someone who is really into ASMR.

>In hindsight a DNA test might have revealed achondroplasia

It might have, but remember my diagnosis were conducted in 1994,2001 (though best hospital in India of that time) to conclude I was a normal kid with some vitamin deficiencies.

Even now, I doubt whether even now pregnancy scans test for achondroplasia. I was informed recently that it was mentioned by a doctor in Singapore that, achondroplasia tests should be requested during pregnancy tests.

I'm not sure whether it is part of pregnancy scans in Western countries & how common is the DNA tests for achdonroplasia.
That's true. I meant size in the hand-wavy sense of "this feels complicated" (although the syntax part is also true in this case). For example there's a GHC extension to overload the meaning of a type declaration (DataKinds). This technically doesn't introduce new syntax but it's definitely a "big" extension in my book.

I have been listening to podcasts while falling asleep for years now, it has worked very well for me. It is just a little annoying to find one with a very consistent volume, so I can set the volume on my laptop to that goldilocks zone where I can understand everything without having to focus too much, while it is still quiet enough to let me sleep.(Astronomycast.com works wonders for me.)

Sony Japan ends repair services for PlayStation 2 after 18 years
Top Gun notwithstanding, the F-14 was one of the biggest pieces of garbage the Navy ever fielded. Incredibly heavy, horrible E-M characteristics, expensive, crappy swing wing (a wing design that was in-vogue in the 60s but has now been discredited). Interestingly the Navy wanted to keep buying more and more of these until the Fighter Mafia foisted the F-16 on the air force, and the Navy reluctantly took a variant of the F-16 and blew it up in size and renamed it the F-18 (the F-18 variant was actually the losing contender to be the F-16). If it wasn't for the Fighter Mafia, the Navy would still be buying pieces of crap like the F-14.

Interesting that nowhere in this article are the capabilities of the F-35 STOVL variant discussed, a weapon that the Navy is paying $100M+ for. That they are skipping that discussion and jumping into why they need NGAD is just disgusting.

Oh well, the Pentagon is just a giant building that buys weapons. Always looking for the next piece of kit to blow cash on.

And just while I'm on this tirade...there are almost no use cases where you need an airplane that goes faster than Mach 2. At that speed you are outside the envelope where you can fire a missile. If you are trying to design a fighter aircraft as an interceptor, you are doing it wrong...
Yep, stupid. Submersible ships that can surface to launch and recover drones should be the focus. Though I would probably keep some carriers out of mothballs in case EMPs disable all the fancy electronic thingys. But we’d also need to keep around older mechanical actuated aircraft for that scenario. But most anything is better than putting all our eggs in the super carrier / joint strike turd basket. Keeping in mind the battle over the electro-magnetic spectrum is important though when fanboying drones.
Also those radio station hosts who are always yelling and speaking loudly throughout the whole show, as if loud noises and phony excited speaking will make a boring show entertaining.
I guess for (4) you mean, "repeat if [attributable] _profit_ increase [vs control] > $1,000"?

Not much point in driving $1,000 in _revenue_ with $1,000 in marketing spend unless your margins are 100%.
IBM Australia tells staff to come back into the office
OK, long form: you whooshed on the point of the linked article entirely. Software exists to solve problems, not to achieve some sort of aesthetic ideal. Time spent in pursuit of abstractions (or skill in the expression of abstractions) is wasted, by definition. You seem to be conflating the two. To wit: spending hours giting gud at Haskell doesn't translate to hours saved solving real problems (like the one in the link -- a straightforward list operation anyone could code in an imperative language in a few minutes).

And your inability to see the humor in that (or the expository value of a good quip) is... well... let's just say more evidence that you're head is pointed somewhere other than the correct solution space.
Just do it now - an adult can ramp up quickly with focused practice too. Though you’ll still have nobody forcing you to do it. You can probably reach a pretty good ability level in a year or two of taking lessons and practice.

Band instruments will be harder, but piano, guitar, or ukulele are all doable.
They will try to sell access to you based on the information that they have about you, but they will generally not sell the information they have about you. (For one thing, they could only do that once...)
I agree but I feel like the fact that it's a puzzle is a sign the language could be improved. Describing generic types shouldn't have to look like stl's or boost's implementation details. They are nightmares of "neat puzzle solving"
Depends on what library they're from.

Is the STL part of C++? Sure, it's a library, but it's a standard library - it should be there in every conforming implementation. Personally, I think of that as part of the language.

Is some vendor's RS232-port-handling library part of C++? I would say no.

In the same way, I think that Java's standard library is part of the language, and is in fact the strongest selling point of Java.
But in the event you modify it you do have to share those modifications.
Incorrect. You're just having difficulty understanding that the legal precedent surrounding free speech is not applicable to this situation.
Damn. I can't quite imagine. But damn, you are brave.

The odontoid process on my C7 got snapped many years ago, perhaps in an auto accident. And there's also some osteoarthritic cervical stenosis. But I have no serious chronic symptoms. If I strain to move heavy stuff at full arm extension overhead, with my head bent back maximally, my arms sometimes become totally unresponsive. So I just don't do that. Maybe some cardiac and gut issues too, but it's hard to tell.

But I can't help but wonder what might happen.

> but I don't fully understand how the only option to type sitting,

My accessibility issues was during my bed rest after spine surgery. I mentioned in the article that, I'm typing now by keeping the keyboard on my lap (as I'm unable to see the keyboard on the table anyways).

During bed rest, I tried different accessibility mods such as using lazy glasses (which generated 90 deg vision of monitor), keeping bed table at 45 deg with laptop, hanging tablet before face with tablet/smartphone holder, hanging smartphone before my face & using physical keyboard; none of them worked. I will detail this experience in a separate article.

>but it seemed weird that you can't have a setup that still allows you to just look at the keyboard without turning your head

Placing keyboard on the top of the table, where I could see creates strain on my shoulders leading to pain lasting for a day for just 30 minutes of typing.
> "What good is one man's efforts if the community isn't interested in a full-featured framework?"

The community that grew around Rails didn't exist in the Ruby community prior to its release. Many discovered Ruby via Rails, not vice versa.

IIRC, I was first exposed to Clojure though the extended Ruby community, having been exposed to Rails. I also recognized that while Rails was useful for some things and introduced me to some good practices that spread through the Ruby community, I also came to think that the MVC pattern encouraged by Rails is actually an anti-pattern: one that works well in some cases but doesn't actually encourage one to learn better application design, that one molds the application to the framework. Applying that to Clojure, I personally haven't seen a great way to make a generalized framework that does encourage good application design. Just porting Rails MVC framework from Ruby to Clojure isn't something that interests me. But that's just me. I don't expect others to necessarily share my opinions. If I see something I want improve, I write a library or submit a patch.

Again, I hear you blaming the Clojure community for something that individuals need to do. Have you hired or contracted someone to design such a framework? Is it something that you would use personally? What would such a framework look like to you? I was glad to hear about Arachne, although what I heard didn't sound like something I personally would enjoy using. I've found some success using Pedestal. One of the reasons I think Rails was successful is that it was extracted from a successful project. What I hear comments such as your doesn't necessarily reflect this, that it almost expects something written ex nihilo. In my experience, those generally aren't as successful.

When I hear "The Clojure community lacks ambition", I frankly see that reflected in your own comment. Where's your ambition? Why expect that of others and not yourself? I guess I'd ask you to be part of the solution rather than pepper comments with complaints, asking things of the community rather than being an active participant. Be the change you want in to see in the world.
The web version is a full rewrite of the original code, with less features and smaller code. It was designed to work on the web from the start. We try to keep the style similar though.
One could look at Apple and it’s retail stores of the exact phenomenon that is making retail stores important again with the caveat of the stores must significantly differentiate itself on some basis relative to competitors

Stratechery has a great write up in this (albeit a few years old, it’s still largely applicable)

It’s that last example that resonates when talking about retail especially. To buy a designer bag is an event: you’re greeted at the door, given a drink, have an attendant on hand at all times (who will model the bag for you, if need be); if you purchase it’s almost like a ceremony, complete with special packaging, congratulations (for them taking your money!), and perhaps a follow-up call a day or two later. Obviously given its scale an Apple Store isn’t quite the same, but it’s in the ballpark, especially relative to the buying experience for most electronics. Moreover, it’s the after-sale experience that is arguably the best part: you’re given help setting up your new device, transferring files, invited to classes to learn how to use your purchase, and assured that a genius is ready-and-waiting to take care of any problems that arise

I was confused too. It appears the page does not work on Firefox. I get a "customElements is not defined" error in the console in Firefox and none of the interactive sections render.

The page works fine on Chrome.
Slightly embarrassing -- but the problem may be that the site isn't compatible with FireFox (at least pre-v63 FireFox). The site makes use of custom HTML elements which are not supported by default in pre-v63 FireFox (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Web_Components/...). The good news is that all you need to do is to turn on a flag as set forth in the link provided. The bad news is that many other less tech-savvy people are going to be stymied by this.

edit: the site will now warn you if your browser is incompatible.
STOVL is the marines, and the shiniest of the Joint Strike Turds. And I think Boyd and the Fighter Mafia were actually wrong. For BVR air-to-air, I would have rather had an F-14/F-15 with phased-array radar and AMRAAM, than an F-16/18. Although the F22 clubs them all like baby seals. The Vietnam lesson was only good until missiles improved. Now the war is between missiles and radar more than planes. And a fast missile truck is better than a slow missile truck. Mach 2+ would be nice after you’ve shot your load and are running away.
If you think of it, meeting people who identify more with a fictional culture from a TV show more than with any existing one, that's... something new, I think.

I am an avid note taker on my Kindle Paperwhites and Voyage. The response time is frustrating at first, but you get used to it and the advantages are worth it.

I remember when the iPhone first came out and everyone in my company said they’d never switch because the Blackberry thumbboard was so much better. We all know how that ended...

If it’s helpful, you can reassure yourself that the slow response time is a feature rather than a bug. Being forced to type slowly and parsimoniously might cause deeper understanding:

> "In a small but fascinating study, two psychologists tried to find out if it made a difference if students in a lecture took notes by hand or by typing them into their laptops (Mueller and Oppenheimer 2014). They were not able to find any difference in terms of the number of facts the students were able to remember. But in terms of understanding the content of the lecture, the students who took their notes by hand came out much, much better. After a week, this difference in understanding was still clearly measurable. There is no secret to it and the explanation is pretty simple: Handwriting is slower and can’t be corrected as quickly as electronic notes. Because students can’t write fast enough to keep up with everything that is said in a lecture, they are forced to focus on the gist of what is being said, not the details." (Sönke Ahrens, How to Take Smart Notes)

I recently bought a 4K monitor in a physical store. I was worried about how 4K over USB-C, HiDPI scaling etc were going to be supported with my Mac. At the store I was allowed to plug in my own laptop to their display model and give Xcode a spin to see how the display looked in my regular workflow/text size/etc. The price was the same as Amazon once you discounted their loyalty card earnings.

You will be encouraged to share ideas and suggestions, and we will do our best to reward your hard work and exceptional contribution.

Job Description

We currently need support in various customer service duties. We have a lot of inbound interest and questions pertaining to how our product works, as well as an ever-growing list of customers who need different sizes and assistance in tracking their orders. This may sound easy, but when it is done well it brings a level of ease to the customer and builds their trust for our brand.

I use valerian on occasion when I'm having trouble sleeping for any variety of reasons. I find it's reasonably effective at helping me get to sleep, sort of like a mild benzo, but the dreams I get when I've taken valerian are weird as hell, often weird enough to wake me during the night.

Ask HN: Where are other tech scenes outside Bay Area
I feel like I’ve missed the boat when it comes to home ownership here in the Bay Area. Furthermore, my wife wants stability in home ownership for our nascent family, and renting is hardly affordable, not to mention lacking in the potential for growth in equity.

The usual option of Austin doesn’t excite me.

Where else are people going that has a Tech scene?

Currently, I’m working as a Director of Engineering, making 300k+, but it doesn’t seem to matter; all I can afford is either under a freeway or under power lines, it seems. I don’t want to overextend across 30 years.

Any suggestions? I’d be happier, I think, somewhere else, with a lower paying job, incredibly, but I’m having a hard time figuring out somewhere with a good mix of weather, jobs, properties, schools.
Better than a manager, is a customer. Though, any stakeholder is probably better than none, which I believe is your main point. (And one I agree with.)
