Don't think it's necessarily the most appropriate lang, but it significantly lowers barrier to entry. One could also always use a compile-to-js lang if they want more safety e.g. TypeScript, Reason, ScalaJS, Kotlin, PureScript, etc.
You're welcome.

One interesting property of the current implementation is that you can use an Index across multiple IndexLists. That may or may not be what you want. There's a way to add a compile-time check to prevent this, but I haven't implemented it yet (https://github.com/steveklabnik/indexlist/issues/7)
I liked it but wish I could read for the information instead of waiting 8 minutes for it to be explained.
> all of these languages do a really good job of being super simple to use when you quickly need to automate something... It's ease of writing that is being optimized for, not reading/maintenance.

I think of shells as being optimised for/excellent at:

- Invoking subprocesses (managing buffers, propagating signals, handling exit codes, etc.)

- Standard input/output redirection (pipes, file reading/writing, etc.)

- Command line interaction

- Being installed by default (on Unix-like systems, anyway)

They also have some nifty string handling, but as you say it's quite messy compared to other languages. Some other languages have reasonable commandlines and are usually available by default (e.g. Python), but the majority of languages are awful at the first two points (e.g. I wrote an example at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17733865 ). This is why there are many libraries which try to improve the situation, like 'sh.py' and 'plumbum' for Python, 'Shelly' and 'Turtle' for Haskell, Scala's 'process' package, 'shell-pipeline' for Racket, etc.

> I don't know of any other s-expression language targeting that space?

Others have mentioned some. I really like scsh (Scheme shell), there was a nice paper about it posted to HN recently ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17886714 ). The shell-pipeline package mentioned above is really nice, and usable from Racket (a variant of Scheme, which uses s-expressions by default).

If we can talk about infinity, does that mean our minds are infinity machines? For example, it is impossible to derive the axiom of infinity from any set of finite axioms.

The article doesn't really go anywhere. The author dances with some problematic notions, beats around the bush and leaves the reader with a piece of unconvincing, milquetoast advice.

Ultimately, it cannot be emphasized enough how great an error modern philosophy's unjustified rejection of telos is. At the very least, it is problematic because it is incoherent and nihilistic. It is incoherent because we deny its reality, but grant it to the mind which is itself no less real. Worse still, efficient causality itself becomes incomprehensible in the absence of telos. (For Aristotle, telos, or finality, is not merely something that concerns conscious, intentional and willed acts -- that is but one kind -- but what end(s) something is ordered toward, hence the inexplicability of the regularity of the effects of efficient causes in its absence.) It is nihilistic because by denying telos at the metaphysical level, we deny in the deepest sense the very possibility of ends in any sense. From that follows the impossibility of a true morality because telos is the ground for any moral judgement. Reality, of course, supplies us with numerous counterexamples. In my experience, the stubborn denial of telos is rooted in misunderstanding or a learned prejudice bequeathed to us by the modernist tradition. (Curiously, this denial ultimately lies at the heart of various fundamentalisms. Without telos, you must appeal to something like divine commands or the caprice of a dictator or whatever because there simply is never a fact of the matter where ends are concerned.)

So, sure, it's possible you've been chasing things for the wrong reasons, or chasing the wrong things, blindly, etc. Perhaps many people only begin to reflect a little on their lives, however imperfectly, during middle age. Ultimately, purpose and fulfillment only make sense in light of human nature, which is also to say its inherent end or ends. If we ignore human nature, dismiss it, perhaps as an infinitely malleable cultural fiction, then we should not be surprised at the results.

The scientific consensus is that while there are significantly many dimensions to the time space continuum, time makes is only one of those dimensions. Whether or not it is a strictly unidirectional component may be under some debate, but even in quantum mechanics and hypotheses like string theory, there aren’t multiple vectors to time, as it has only one axis and no start or end (that we know of). A vector necessarily has a start, end, and direction.

I'm not a doctor but:

* Take a beta blocker to help with anxiety during interviews.

* Do little/nothing about it but try to communicate your issue to the interview panel, "I'm here, I'm austic, and I hope that besides my unique conditions you consider me for this position and I aim to perserverere through this incident. I bring alot to the table".

* Additionally tell them what outside activities you're taking up to help with your conditions: team sports, clubs, counseling/therapy.

Edit:

* Try to get a Skype or remote interview first. Again, mention and sell your unique conditions -- but show them your performance from "home" where you're comfortable. Tell them should you get an onsite interview, you may perform differently/worse due to your conditions. But, eventually once acclimated should perform as well as your remote interview.

Help them to better understand you.

It's also cultural- line breaks, indentations, and parenthesis help a lot to make Mathematica more readable, but there's a strong tendency to do things in one liners like you show. Even the official docs are like this. I think even then it can have some readability problems, but it would certainly improve things quite a bit if the community would use a better style.

> All you should need to know about a charger is the max wattage.

Right. It should be that easy, but in practice not everyone is going to implement the spec correctly. If you call Apple support when someone else's power adapter doesn't work I guarantee they will tell you that only official Apple power bricks are "supported".

At the moment, in practice, I've mostly seen USB-C chargers showing up with newer tablets, not laptops. So if you need to bum a charge from someone you're probably going to get a charger that's too small.

Follow your excitement and feelings.

I'd take offer with more cash in the pockets vs. promise of bright future for current sacrifice.

%% of startup shares is what they want you to believe in. What you haven't been told is that your shares can and will be diluted via new investors coming in who will buy more "preferred" shares without telling you. Preferred shares will allow new investors to get paid X times of their original investment before you see any penny at a potential exit (in case it will ever happen).

In startup world it evolves in a frequent and predictable disappointing outcomes for "unaware" engineers and holders of regular, non-preferred "options".

Take cash, save it and invest it in your own, future startup.
Meh. Jamming JS into more places it has no right to be. I’m sure this’ll go well.
Mathematica has lots of drawbacks, chief among which : if you write Mathematica code, you're building on top of an expensive, closed-source bunch of opaque algorithm that are neither guaranteed to be correct (can't see what they do) nor to continue behaving the way they did when you wrote your code (you're at the mercy of Wolfram changing what the code does).

As far as I'm concerned, this essentially precludes doing anything publishable using Mathematica.

Very likely started thermal throttling because apple is notorious for not putting adequate cooling on their mac books.

This game uses fluid dynamics calculated in real time, i don't think its designed to be super optimized but rather super true to physics. Most of the time game optimization involves cheaping some of the complex calculations to be less accurate but still "good enough" see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_inverse_square_root for an example.

In other words you'll run into this issue any time you do anything taxing for more than 10 minutes on a mac book.

What security issues do you feel that using Rust or Java would avoid? I get the impression that the underlying argument here for many is that JavaScript lowers the barrier to entry and means less experienced developers will build less secure systems.
Treating users like toddlers is a techie attitude that drives me crazy. Most people have their own profession and responsibilities to think about. We'd appear to have toddler level sophistication to, say, an accountant, electrician, or doctor, and we'd rightly expect to be treated like an adult discussing things about which we know almost nothing.

What do you mean by too targeted or too untargeted? Either focused on a specific threat (tree) or too general to be useful (all forest no trees)?
'they' here refers to the mods. Should have clarified, I thought it was clear from the context.
>That's because those things are increasingly more creatively measured to paint a nice picture.

They are measured the same way they always have been

>For example today any crap job regardless of quality/wages/precariousness etc is measured as "unemployment", whereas in the past you could have the same number of jobs but they would be much more solid (the "company man" and so on. Heck, a GM factory worker in the 50s could buy a house and raise 2 kids earning the only income in his family).

Oh this talking point again. Never mind the two world wars that made it all possible

>People who given up looking for work, because they can't find any, are also not counted, while still unemployed and struggling to make ends meet.

You are aware that there are multiple unemployment statistics that are tracked and that discouraged workers are included in some of them? Nobody is purposefully ignoring discouraged workers they are just not relevant to the market because they aren't participating in it.

>For one, because tax havens (where that money go instead of local communities, e.g. Apple's Ireland's cash stock) aren't "people".

What do you think happens to money in those tax havens? Do you think they convert it all into gold coins and lock it into a scrooge mcduck style vault? It's reinvested, they purchase treasuries with it, they do research and development with it. Governments then use that money to build roads and pay employees. Those employees then go and eat out and buy cars.

The issue isn't the equivalent of Rust code in C, it's C code without an equivalent in Rust.

Rust should prevent the typical UAF bug in C, but if the programmer unwisely insists on using the same pattern in which they fail to track object lifetimes correctly, they can still implement it by using array indexes instead of pointers. Which can also be done in C (as was the case in Heartbleed), but it isn't as common, and is potentially worse than the usual C UAF because it produces a consistent successful out of bounds access rather than at least the possibility for a segfault.

It's possible to prevent someone from doing something bad and have that cause them to do something worse. "Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool" etc. Safer tools are not a replacement for competence.

A friend once scolded me for using the term "suitcase nuke", saying that such were impossible and that any nuclear weapon would necessarily be far larger than a man could carry. But the Wikipedia entry on "critical mass" indicates that about 10 kilograms of plutonium would be sufficient to make a true nuclear fission device. FWIW I've always heard lower values for the critical mass weight than Wikipedia gives, but nonetheless it seems that a "suitcase nuke" is a real possibility.
Ah ok, I think I probably misinterpreted you. I guess we could ask people to take a Buddhist approach and attempt to release themselves from desire. Failing that though, banning advertising and worthless celebrities would probably be a good first step.. Not holding my breath.
I'm not a dinosaur expert (but this is hacker news, so...). You know who else wasn't a dinosaur expert? All those people back in the 1800s who lumped theropods, sauropods, and everything else together and called them dinosaurs. So now the definition of dinosaur is, paraphrased from wikipedia, "anything from descended from the most recent ancestor of all the stuff we want to call a dinosaur". I can believe ostriches and elephant birds and small theropods are related. Can you believe the possibly imaginary Brontosaurus and T Rex are related? Is there an intellectually honest reason to lump them together?
By definition, all axioms are not derivable within the axiom system they define.

We can talk about sand but that does not mean our minds are sand or sand machines. We can talk about infinity within a set theory that contains that concept. A very large majority of mathematicians use infinite sets and have no problem with them. There are mathematicians that don't like the existence of uncountable sets or of uncountable choice but almost all of them accept countably infinite sets. For instance, I've never heard of a mathematician who believes that there are finitely many primes.
Totally agree. However in many cases, the main technology is invented at universities with public funding. Also, codecs are a means of communication, and I don't think it should be patentable because it can cause problems once everybody settles on a single standard. See the MPEG nightmare, where professional cameras have a license attached to any movie shot with them.

Robert Sapolsky: What drives human behavior?
With a standard company, you have easy time firing and hiring people.

In a cooperative, joining means buying a share in a company (not public stock), or bringing a share, and leaving means either letting the share go, or selling it back to the company. Since the company us co-owned, it involves everyone.

This is not bad per se, and does have its upsides. But fast growth is hard with this model, so is market domination.

And if your company is not pushing for market domination, your competition still is.
You need to also compare the cost and power consumption of the chips. I also imagine the use of high-level synthesis impacted performance.

Do hurricanes release enough energy to cool down the ocean?
Everybody pays. I, and other Fios subscribers, pay a flat monthly fee for our internet service at a specified bandwidth. There's usually a monthly total data cap as well, but it's either in the contract fine-print or an unspecified policy that you won't find out about unless you surpass it.

Companies providing services pay as well; they also have to buy internet service for a given bandwidth, and their contracts are more explicit about total data usage.

My understanding is that the difficult bit is that the consumer's ISP and the service provider's ISP are often not the same company. So, Netflix is paying their ISP a ton of money for all the data they're sending, but my ISP doesn't have any contract with Netflix even though they're carrying the data to bring it to me. My ISP finds that unfair. But here's the thing: I'm already paying for MY service, which I'm using to get that data. As long as I'm within my contractual limits, everything I'm doing is paid for, and my ISP has no basis for crying about not getting a share of what Netflix pays their ISP.

This is all just a cover story to hide the fact that my ISP wants legal cover to offer their own service that competes with Netflix, to make it cheaper and crappier than Netflix, and to compete by charging their customers more for Netflix's "premium" bandwidth, while offering their own service for a "discount" bandwidth.
