Once again, monads are a form of "disciplined mutation." They didn't repeat what you wrote, they contradicted your entire premise.

You didn't respond to anything they said and you doubled down with your nonsense about "Monads exist because because haskell people want to pretend that there is this ideal mathematical world where things dont change."

That monads ignore the "mutation reality" isn't a very strong point when monads are a concession for the "mutation reality." Unless you want to repeat yourself a third time, the ball is in your court to bring concrete supporting arguments since you're making the extreme and somewhat self-aggrandizing claim that these other people don't really see the mutation reality of the world like you do, thus they are using inferior tools.

I'd say that anyone specifically trying to corral/isolate their I/O code (monads or not) are so "enlightened" about the mutation reality of the world that they use specific abstractions to address it.

If you want to see code that tries to paper over I/O, look at a program where you can't even tell when and where the I/O is performed because it just looks like any other function call. Active Record in Ruby on Rails might be a good candidate in its effort to make DB access opaque to the programmer.

Which competing language team?

All I found on Google was this gist of someone saying "sanity check" should be avoided. ("health check, too) [1], and some issues and pull requests in projects that were not languages.

One of the latter is clearly trolling to test Linus Torvalds' resolve to be polite [2][3][4][5], complaining about "ableist/saneist" terms, including "silly", on several of Linus' repositories.

You can tell it is a troll because it is just copying/pasting the exact same complaint, just changing the name of the project. It is not even bothering to change the list of alleged problematic words and their counts, so for example it is claiming that perconvert has 144 occurrences of "sanity check" when it actually has 0. In fact every single claim on that one is wrong. The only word from the complaint actually in pesconvert is stupid, which occurs one time, not the six times claimed. Second sign it is a troll is that it is from a GitHub account created just before the complaints were posted.

"Julia advocates rejoice, but it’s coming for them too"

Why do you say that? The whole point of Julia is to create a language that's similar to Python in ease of development but is natively fast. Do you think it fails at this?

Matt Levine at Bloomberg had a great writeup on this recently. (His “Money stuff” newsletter is fantastic.)

Basically: if you were to start from scratch today and build a banking system, you probably wouldn’t build exactly the one we have. On the other hand, given that we do have this one, it may be worse to pull the rug out from existing banks by providing a Fed alternative.
Tableau is great, but it has a much narrower use case: given one or more tables of data, generate graphs for presentation or for exploring the dataset.

In comparison, Excel can do that too (just worse), but it can also solve equations, do your company's bookkeeping, and pretty much every other task that relies mostly on numbers.

I would argue Open/LibreOffice Calc comes fairly close to Excel if you ignore the worse user interface (which is fair in the original assertion that it's "mostly polish and small incremental improvements")
Probably not; the GAN technique wasn't even published until 2014, and this is based on other work that's been done even more recently. The field moves fast and is more open than you might expect (because it's still so academic).
No, it isn't. `*` after a name means that the variable/function/type/etc. is public and can be seen/used when you import a module.

So the whole expression just means "a public constant string (automatically inferred type) named `hand`".

An extra point: his "helicopter" was about the smallest thing you could get and still call it a helicopter. It provided no cover or protection for the people inside. Had the soldiers engaged, Thompson and the others would have gone down instantly.

Its been a long time since recordings paid artists very well. The money has long been in touring. If anything, I think the rise in streaming where you can pick whatever you want makes discovering new music a challenge...which reduces the primary way artists used to move from unknown to known. At the same time because its easier to get your music available to a larger audience I suspect the long tail is much longer than ever before.

Virtually no one who uses software compiles it themselves, so this is not a very interesting rebuttal.

Meanwhile, it's not 1994 anymore, and people who know how to look for bugs can (I know this is hard for some people to wrap their heads around) look inside of binaries and draw conclusions about how programs work. There's a name for it; it's a kind of engineering.

Lambda lifting is usually just a technique used by compilers.
So you could argue that Dvorak has been a dark influence on tech, since he convinced (by stint of his popularity) a lot of people to be wrong on things, quite a few time?

I mean, in the case of war journalism the standards are pretty high. But for computer tech .. its really more just an industrial mob being led by a malcontent loud-mouth boldly corralling the in-cognoscenti with his megaphone de-jour held high and proud? Or, at least it was.

I mean, I think Dvorak played a role in managing peoples expectations. Its interesting that for some its high, and others low in terms of journalistic decrepitude. 36 years is a long time to be wrong about it.
Yes.

Have you written programs in Haskell/F#/Ocaml? Static guarantees, especially of expressive type systems, absolutely make your code better and their benefits compound as your system gets bigger. The type checker acts as a guardian of the soundness of your whole domain. And yes, expressive static typing removes the need for a whole class of tests, namely the ones that you'd have to write in other languages if you are disciplined enough to care about the soundness of your domain model. I personally loath writing these type of tests but I do when I can't use the power of say Haskell because I care.

Immutability also makes you code better but it's an orthogonal concern and utilising both is a smart move.
Which is why it's nice that the pre-trained models are available.

If you want to train on your own dataset, that price does not seem unreasonable to me.
Let’s see.

- correctly fund the public defenders office.

- get rid of plea bargains for serious offenses. Right now, prosecutors pile on charges that could add years knowing that most people will plea. If every serious case has to go to trial, prosecutors will have to be more careful about when they bring charges.

- admit that the “war on drugs” has been a failure and stop locking people up for years for non violent crimes.

- get rid of prosecutors ability to dismiss jurors. Yes it will make it harder to convict, but it should be harder.

- stiffer penalties for prosecutors withholding exculpatory evidence.

- stiffer penalties for police lieing under oath.

Contrary to what most people believe, I see that native English speakers can learn German rather easily (with a pretty distinct accent, which I really like :)).

Your point stands though, as they usually don't know this before they actually start learning, so they must have other reasons.
OK thanks for this. The product seems promising even if it is not core PG. I'd have to dive into the deep end and test drive to check if the trade-offs would be worthwhile. The 'open source version' seems free, so I guess I could at some point.
What makes you sure that mutation is a reality? You can just as accurately model reality using an immutable value with time being an additional dimension as using a mutable value without time being taken into account. Both are just models of reality, not reality.
Are there any high resolution examples available? Am I just not finding them in the README?

When the deposit is transferred away essentially the target bank becomes the depositor in the source bank.

That's effectively what 'interbank lending' is. The central bank system then centralises that peer-to-peer processes.

Deposits are swapped for capital in the same way.
> I mean … I was aware of the fact that the week starts on Sunday in a LOT of other places. But still.

> So Sunday, the first day of the week, is still part of what's called the weekend, right?

I've always interpreted "the weekend" as a shortening of "the weekends." Sunday is at one "end" of the week and Saturday is at the other "end." Sort of like a if you hold a stick out, there's a "near end" and "far end."
Folks that I worked with had the same idea: “Fortran was good enough for our ancestors, it is good enough for the world. And COBOL”

This was before the obscure language C was invented.

And as far as debugging is concerned, debuggers are overused. Reading “Programmers at work” you see that 1. They used the equivalent of printf for debugging 2. Mostly they had not read TAOCP 3. They did not like C++.
Lambda lifting is crucial to writing a LINQ query provider in .NET languages. Most typically it will need to deal with any closure right around where the query is written and used, but if you get into having other objects adding to or modifying the query, those objects (and/or their closures) need to be dealt with as well.
>It's an ad-supported site which I'd have preferred not to support. I don't want to read their 'articles', much like I don't want to click through to a breitbart article.

Others do, however. Are you in favor of shutting them down or forbidding links to them?

And who would determine which are OK to link to?

Some elite? Common consensus? Yeah, because either of these has worked great in the past...

Also, how about toning down the hyperbola a little ("fascist"). It's DailyMail, a known popular low-quality gossip right-wing newspaper. Hardly fascist though (except in the all too common sense of "Everyone I disagree with is Hitler").
The Web is not dead yet, and its death is not inevitable. It has been under attack since at least the days of America Online, and it survived that. Google's market share with the browser (all Chromium-based browsers) puts them in a position where they might succeed in destroying it this time. I wouldn't give up completely just yet. People need to speak up, including Google employees. Other companies like Automattic and Cloudflare need to stop enabling schemes like AMP. Large content publishers should say "no" to AMP, because it is not in their long-term best interests. A visit to a restricted shell of your content on someone else's AMP server/cache is not a real visit to your website.
> the author seems to be under the somewhat common misapprehension that the Planck scale is some kind of limit on quantization

The Planck length may not limit quantization, but it is a hard limit on measurement. Due to Heisenberg uncertainty, a photon that with a position small enough to do the measurement has a momentum so large the photon would collapse into a black hole (which would immediately evaporate).
Because then you have counterparty risk, which means you then have greater regulatory/compliance costs and have to pay up to 0.4% on assets for FDIC insurance.
But bootstrapping has a binary definition. You have either raised money or you haven't. And there is a huge difference between $500k and $0. And I don't say that in the theoretical sense. I currently run a bootstrapped company that does $10m+ in revenue and $500k is still a huge amount of cash for us that would change the way that we conduct business. I can't imagine how big a difference it would have been in the early years of the business.
i can say that setting up user accounts and permissions to get up and running is, to me, still easier under mysql, because you connect to mysql as root, and do the rest from inside.

postgresql still seems to have 2 ways, but the majority of tutorials will demonstrate the "become the postgres user and add unix-level accounts". Things like having a unix-level "adduser" program that manages pg stuff is... odd to me, because it's not 'self-contained' in the app. It's more system-level admin stuff I need to do or be aware of.

Whenever I bring this up, I get push back that I'm doing it wrong, and that of course you can just create user accounts from within pg itself via psql, and ... all other sort of attendant feedback. This approach had not seemed to be the norm/default approach, nor the one that was in multiple postgres books I had 10 years ago.

I use pg on some projects, but am no expert in it.
Usually it's the other way around with ML researchers - what they show is better than what they have in the lab :)
The salary really depends on the job title.
Junior developers usually start 500-750E. The juniour position is a tricky one because with no background it is usually hard to spot the talent. From then on it really depends on the carrier path you take but compensations in the range of 3000-5000E are probably a soft cap for a developer position.

For QAs and DevOps is around 30% less.

Job security is something quite strange here. Once your trial period passes, it is terribly difficult for you to get fired. If you arrive on time - there is no legal mechanism for you to get fired. The only means would be for the company to trunc the position you're taking. This means they are not allowed to hire someone for the same position for 6 months or so. If they do - it must be you. This is enforced by court. So if they fire you for some reason, you can sue them and the court will return you back to your seat.

Even with this in mind, contractors are terribly rare. I know just two people working this way.

Exactly. Google has a nice internal solution where data at rest is encrypted with a record-unique (or bucket-unique) key and a separate system decides whether to give you that key based on whether you give it auth tokens that entitle you to access to that record. That way, having direct access to the datastore doesn't give you automatic access to everybody's data, and all access is auditable. (And data can be "deleted" wherever it has been replicated just by deleting that key for good at the centralized key store).

Obviously, some admins/sres still need to have full access to the key store, but that can be a very small group, as compared to a situation where "every Gmail engineer can read every user's email".

Edit: on reading the summary blurb from the "translucent databases" book link that @specialist posted, what I described above is very much along those lines.

Candice Owens is a crackpot. If she's the best rhetorical card you have to play, you don't have much of an argument. She's a failed Youtuber making a second go of it as a political commenter, by way (literally) of Infowars.

Yeah, I initially turned off animations on my phone maybe a year ago or so. Works great unless you occasionally play games (QuizUp for example!). Then animations needs to be able to show something, otherwise the game UI is laggy. Setting the animation scale to 0.5x fixed the issue, and still my UI feels very snappy.
Perhaps the decision should be centralized, perhaps by congressional committee. Or would it be better to put it on the blockchain?
I call bullshit.

Sure, $thing cost $5k-$10k to start. That says nothing about how you live, how you pay for rent/food/health/internet, or how to pay for dependants. Even if you live in Shithole, USA, these costs are still up there. And likely in that location, internet service is extremely lackluster or just plain non-existent.

Most startups get away with low spending is because of rich family. When you hear a $elite_school dropout spinning around and making $empire, its not because they did it by themselves... Their family capital to take care of those other costs is what made that happen. But the Horatio Alger story keeps people believing and wanting - they never look at the facts. No, you won't find the "gold wrapper", statistically speaking.

But keep pushing the idea that prosperity can be for everyone, and its just around the corner. For most of us, its not and never will be.

Edit: Ah. -1's but no actual discussion/refutation. Looks like I hit on a sore point. I'd love some hard data here.
$10,000 goes along way

1) Subcontracting work on upwork,logo design, etc. You can get quality contractors for under $100 / hour easily in many domains

2) Buying LTL freight and MoQ orders for physical goods overseas

3) Buying tooling for most small processes

4) Getting consultant experts in your domain not related to business, but rather hard to get information

5) Recruitment services (indeed)

6) Paying for monthly SaaS programs to help you lay out processes

7) Registering domain names

8) Rapid prototyping with local fabrication shops

9) Getting a shared coworking space for $100 to $500 a month to establish a meeting place for localized service-based contracts / networking

10) Paying for courses online to learn all the tools you need

11) Paying for housing/food/etc in the very few months of operation

12) Hiring your first subcontractor lets you lay out processes on slack/notion/trello/insert_project_management_tool etc. So you can start laying out SOP (standard operating procedures) that scale well over time, and find loopholes through rapid A/B testing

You can build anything you want once you reach a reasonable baseline. Also you can be super cheap about everything you do too, you can buy scraping tools for instance for $300 a month or more, or you can just run your own scrapers with a $5 vpn/month service.
At these levels the seed funding that really counts is time. $10k really represents X months/weeks of founders time, compensating them for not having a job.

> Developers tend not to like triggers or stored procedures IMHO because it's code outside their reach in a language most of them don't know, but that's another story.

You can write PG stored procedures in close to a dozen languages between the builtins (pgSQL, Tcl, Perl and Python) and third-party (Java, Ruby, PHP, R, Scheme, JS, …).

The language itself is not why developers don't like stored procedures, it's because stored procedure are an even worse version of image-based languages (like Smalltalk or Self, except they had much better UI, tooling and interaction model): hard to version, hard to update, hard to test, hard to debug, hard to cache, hard to scale, …, and your wide-spread well-supported ancillary tooling goes away pretty much entirely.
For those wondering, here is an empirical paper on the subject demonstrating no connection between deposits and loans.

"This is the contribution of the present paper. An empirical test is conducted, whereby money is borrowed from a cooperating bank, while its internal records are being monitored, to establish whether in the process of making the loan available to the borrower, the bank transfers these funds from other accounts within or outside the bank, or whether they are newly created. This study establishes for the first time empirically that banks individually create money out of nothing. The money supply is created as ‘fairy dust’ produced by the banks individually, "out of thin air"."
