Yes, I view lambda lifting as an optimization and my implementations provide both, closures and combinators. I guess that a global program transformation could eliminate all closures from a purely functional program, but I'm not attempting to do this -- mostly because lambda lifting cannot be applied to many closures that mutate free variables. For instance, the lambda functions created in the expansion of Scheme's LETREC cannot be lambda-lifted.

Provided there are clear alternatives then I don’t normally have a problem with a private company deciding who they want to do business with.

But that’s not the case here with social media or with credit card payment processing.

If there were thousands of alternatives available then it wouldn’t matter.

Instead there are only a handful of major corporations that control the respective markets and they appear to be colluding to deplatform Alex Jones.

“Since all medical interventions come with risks, many people will suffer harm from unnecessary tests and procedures.”

I agree with this statement generally, but in this specific case it seems tenuous. If the iWatch’s 1-lead EKG detected a-fib, the next course of action would be a more reliable diagnostic, specifically a proper 12-lead EKG interpreted by a qualified medical professional, perhaps followed by a Holter monitor to record 5 or more leads over a 48+ hour period.

A 12-lead involves attaching ten electrode stickers to a patient which are then wired up to a backpack-sized monitor which passively reads the difference in electrical activity between specific electrodes. It’s a simple non-invasive procedure that’s performed a hundred thousand times a day in the US. In fact, it’s so simple and low-risk that I as a lowly EMT am allowed to perform it. (To drive this point home, the state of California does not allow me to prick a patient’s finger to get the drop of blood required to ascertain blood sugar. I need a paramedic to do that for me.)

It’s absurd for this doctor to suggest an asymptomatic young person could be prescribed anticoagulants for a-fib “diagnosed” by an iWatch. I can understand doctors expressing opposition to “self-diagnostic medicine” but to make these arguments about a 1-lead makes as much sense as arguing that people shouldn’t be able to buy and operate a blood pressure machine without a prescription.

Excel-based workflows are definitely brittle, but people learn to be careful with it (you have to, if you want to keep your job).

One big problem it solves for regular people (i.e. not programmers) is this: "our workflow and/or reality of our business changes much faster than the IT department/outside contractors can keep up with".

(The other big, and related, problem is: "our IT department/outside contractors have no clue and don't really even care much about what we actually do or need".)
> This is very bad. There are so many reasons why I want to be able to use Gmail without having google track all of my activity across search and maps.

But I don't think this Chrome release changed anything with regards to that? It's been the case for more than a decade that if you're logged into gmail you're also logged into search, maps, apps, etc. And if you log out of one, you log out of all of them.

Whatever workflow you've been using to keep logged into gmail while avoiding being logged in to the other Google sites would still work exactly the same way. (E.g. I'm always logged into gmail and chrome, but do 99% of my searches and Youtube watching from incognito windows, so they don't get associated with my account).
The law can make a distinction between bits you downloaded to cache the video as you streamed it, and bits you downloaded to keep a copy offline.

There's a curious and slightly creepy effect when you look into the eyes of a mantis (or other creature with the same kind of eyes, like certain species of shrimp), and dark "pupils" seem to be staring directly at you. Those aren't real pupils, however, but pseudopupils -- an optical effect where you happen to be looking at a straight line into one of the facets that make up the compound eyes. Seen head on, the ommatidia appear dark or black, while the surrounding ommatidia reflect the light outwards.
Author here. I would not say I am making the assumption that dualism is true, merely that it is a possible explanation. Given the human mind generates a whole lot of mutual information, seems dualism might be a good explanation in this case. There are also other possibilities. At any rate, the possibility the mind is a Turing machine is excluded by the premise that it creates mutual information.

>legitimizing DRM like they have

By this logic they had already long legitimized it through their grudging support for Flash. But don't let that stop you from trying to act like it's magically different.

>where Mozilla will always be at a disadvantage

They were always at a disadvantage in the fight against DRM. They never had any real control over it to begin with, and had to constantly be at a disadvantage while it was Flash-based. The fact that they adopted EME changes nothing at all, except that some people on the Internet took it personally because they wanted to.

>the way that they worship at the feet of Google

Suuuure they do. Just like they worshiped at the feet of Yahoo before.

>The biggest mistake that Mozilla is making is adopting the for-profit paradigm that their competitors have

Some hard evidence for this shift in their mentality would sure be nice. Simply owning a corporation doesn't mean you're suddenly driven by a profit motive. Nor does the fact that you may earn some revenue from things that some people love to hate.

>Mozilla is not a business, and they don't need to convince people who don't care about web browsers or privacy to use their web browser.

They have always been a business. A non-profit organization is legally a type of business. And even by non-legal definitions they are still a business. A business does not mean "a profit-driven venture".

Just like their mission has always been to make products for everyone, whether or not they happen to hold strong beliefs about privacy or DRM or even web browsers.

>We are truly entering a dark age of technology.

I've been hearing that since I was just a kid. I'm sorry that Mozilla didn't win your DRM war for you (and me), but that doesn't mean they've given up on all attempts to avert your "dark age" prophecy. But they're just a couple of thousand people. They won't be able to avert every disaster.

You have no idea how smart contracts are going to be used and implemented. A platform that makes a bunch of assumptions is DOA. I think that the answer is something more akin to what Ethereum already does, you open source protocols like ERC20 (tokens) and most dapps use those to achieve that functionality. You don't limit yourself and by extension, innovation with non-Turing complete expressiveness.

I totally agree. Economics in the media industry (print or web) have been hellish for 10 years or more. Paywalls are unpopular, don't work and go against the 'free information' culture of the internet. However, the email he was sent firing him which he screenshotted to Twitter, was indeed so curt as to be rude, as he said. Its just that these editors and publishers are so behind the 8-ball to be desensitized to the types of cost-cutting that they do everyday. It must have never occurred to that editor that they were in this case firing someone who is a near-institution in the PC periodical literature.

Thanks HN for all the rants and the honesty about this topic (and in general).

Contrary, whenever I open LinkedIn people seem to be naively super excited about Europe becoming an AI superpower (whatever that means). While I’m not against excitement, I can’t support it because it seems so detached from any real problem that we want to solve. And ultimately, that should be the driver for AI. Of course we can still engage in basic research, but we won’t become a AI superpower just because we want it.
If a hypothesis is widely expected-to-be-true, then there needs to be a good evidence towards it, which in turn means that it stood unresolved for a long time. That's why probably most of them are still unsolved.

I had the same reaction. It looks like they fit a spline to the data, and then took the analytical derivative of the spline. But there are other ways to do it like locally weighted regression. In general estimating derivatives from real world data is noisy, ill conditioned, should be treated carefully.
> I don't understand why the Hawaiians are so negative about scientific progress.

I find it sad (but not surprising) that outsiders would rephrase an intrusion into a sacred place in this way -- especially after they specifically clarified that "We are not here to protest astronomy". The fact that they're against it despite "economic incentives" and "scientific progress" should give a clue how important their culture is to them. Has your culture ever been threatened?

I’m really sad that UI and backend are so tightly coupled usually... like, not a lot of value is in the UI (except for ads of course), and many web software and especially desktop software could just supply an API along with an open source, adaptable GUI that users could freely modify and adapt (or download/buy other themes).

The old mIRC was mostly like this, a core/backend functionality with a very skin-able frontend.
Unfortunate choice of words.

However, I do not think that the description of "making a function global" is helpful, either. By lambda lifting, a closure becomes a combinator, a function without any free variables. It does not necessarily make that function "global".

The free variables, OTOH, move from the closure environment to the argument list of the function being lifted. That is, they are indeed "lifted" from the environment of the callee to the environment of the caller (where they may be bound or free).

Yes, that's not what the "lifting" in lambda lifting refers to. I apologize for the ambiguity.
Do I read this right - and this is a genuine question, not a rhetorical one - "smart contracts" as tool to not have to rely on the state? Because to me it seems tools like these are exactly the ones that need a strong state (or a strong mafia - when there is no state those with power create one for themselves). I admit I have a hard time understanding what your point actually is.

Its certainly pretty amazing. But the moon landing was likely to be something just totally different: I can't even imagine just how many things could have gone wrong with the technology then, how precise everything had to be in order to take people to the moon and bring them back. The kind of expertise, testing etc. required for such an absolutely critical task.... blows my mind. e.g. they only had one shot at it; they had to get it right the first time; they only had the primitive computing and communication technologies of their era etc.

Having stayed up nights to fix some critical production outages, I've felt the stress of having a company's fate hang in your hands. Cant even imagine what it would've been like to be in the Control center for the moon landing; having the entire world watching ...
One of the things that struck me in reading 'A History of the American People' by Paul Johnson was how often conflicts - resource, political, religious - were 'resolved' by one of the groups move into a lonely, uninhabited region, where they could arrange things to their liking.

One of the things that strikes me in reading the news is how the conflicts are roughly the same as they were in Genesis and Exodus.

My current take is that it is easier to find new land than it is to change human nature. I'm not saying it's not worthwhile to focus on changing judgmentalism and lack of grace in oneself. But I am skeptical of our species' ability to do it en masse.
>It seems much more likely that the absolute damage done was never an issue, and hence it isn't a powerful comparison.

The comparison is not meant to argue that one event was worse than the other, but to put into perspective how much damage has been done and and how are we addressing the damage. Why were/are we willing to indefinitely spend $50 billion a year to kill thousands of Afghani civilians, yet are unwilling to spend $50 billion over four years to repair the damage caused and be better prepared for future hurricanes.
