Haskell has such an extensive set of language extensions, I would say adding new features to the type system is probably the MOST Haskell-ish way of doing things.

The explicit purpose of Haskell is to be a basis for research into functional language design (edit: among other purposes). By "explicit purpose" I mean exactly that... people got together in 1987 to come up with a language for research. Haskell was never supposed to ossify into some kind of "finished product", it was built exactly so people could experiment with things like linear types. If you want to just write libraries and get stuff done with a more or less fixed language, you probably want to be writing OCaml.

I mean, just look at the list of GHC extensions... there are something like a hundred of them! The list is growing longer every year. https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/users_gu...

> This is what you need a union for. We have a union. So instead of a single country being blacklisted from trade or diplomatic relations due to criticizing China (e.g on human rights) it should just do so as a union.

Actually, the union makes it harder to confront china because of the collective nature. It's like if a group of ten people going to the movies vs 10 individuals. The group has to compromise while individuals don't. There is a reason why china is so pro-EU. It's why china wants britain to stay in the EU.

https://www.scmp.com/news/china/policies-politics/article/18...

The EU can't confront china if it is going to hurt greece or one of its members. But norway can because it is free to act on its own interests.

> China obviously can’t blacklist the EU.

And obviously EU can't blacklist china either.

> As it stands, no individual country dares do it.

A few individual countries do.

Lambda School is $0 upfront for US citizens, but we can’t yet support a $0 upfront model for folks outside the US yet.

>The government provided attorney is part of the cost of prosecuting a case.

Exactly. The "right to an attorney" is actually intended to be a check on government power and it's not an economic entitlement like food stamps. One can see in the Declaration of Independence that the complaints included a "right to a speedy trial" and "right to a trial by jury" because the monarchy government was abusing its power and throwing people in prison on arbitrary whims. That's where the right to have an attorney came from. We should note that the USA does not provide government-funded lawyers for suing your landlord, incorporating your company, or filing your patent application. (Maybe the government should but that's a different conversation.)

If the government is the adversary in criminal prosecution and they can take a citizen's life & liberty away via prison sentence or capital punishment, that is the limited case where the government will provide an attorney. When the government is the opponent in other departments such as the IRS disputing taxes owed, or SEC investigating financial disclosures, there is no "right to an attorney" in those cases to help the citizen fight them in court -- unless it turns into a criminal prosecution.
It’s a play for federal student loan money pure and simple. Odd that anyone would think otherwise? Edit; non subsidized then?
How does this affect open-source apps? The other day we had a thread about using Emacs as an email client, and I linked to docs on how to get offlineimap to work with XOAUTH2. The Google docs currently say that you can opt in to using apps under development - so in practice, an end user of an open-source app can go to the Google developer console, get a key, and put that in their personal config file - but it sounds like that conflicts with the spirit of these policies. Is that changing?

not sure why this is down voted.

having lived in Northern Virginia aka NOVA which is where a lot of businesses have offices and would be the potential area of HQ2, Research Triangle park is a tech hub for North Carolina that also afford lower wages compares to NOVA or other urbanized areas and I would consider 'in the area' of DC. Maryland is also an overlooked option which also has many datacenters.

NOVA is much more likely due to it meeting travel requirements much easier.

NOVA also already has many giant datacenters and already houses complexes for companies like VISA in addition to being one of the major backbones in the USA of the internet.

I would prefer the HQ be closer to NY, Boston or Toronto but that is a long shot I think unless the political climate forces them to make an unpredictable decision.
We don’t get and won’t seek federal student loan money.

In response to the edit: No Lambda School student has, to my knowledge, ever paid for tuition with a loan of any kind, nor have we ever received any money from the government.
is this just for dares between friends or will you be building a two sided global market of darers and darees?

JavE's (http://jave.de) converter was quite good with a bunch of options. But I haven't used any of those things in ... ages by now, so no idea what's the current state of the art.
Hospital stays are a whole different thing from more routine procedures. A lot of the costs are directly billed by the doctor and bypass the hospital, and hospitals don’t know what their own costs will be.

If you have insurance that covers this, it’s simple. You don’t even need to call anyone. You’ll pay your deductible.

If you want to compete on price, you’ll either need to charge substantially less than people’s dedictibles in order to make a noticeable difference, aim your price competition at insurance companies (who pay vastly lower prices already), or target the not-exactly-lucrative uninsured population.
Huh. Is it really valid to think of investment or cash as tainted by the norms that they originate from, affecting the characteristic parameters of the system it flows into (norms of the institutions and people in the EU)? In what manner is it valid to think of the trojan-horse-cash as spreading, like a dirac pulse which only affects the first node touched by it (the person or institution who gets the cash), or as something with a long half-life, which spreads widely and with a lot of influence once in the system?
Several of the communities I belong to are moving to MeWe as a replacement. Several of us had never heard of it before, but the privacy controls and business model surprised the hell out of me. I'm impressed so far.
The article says it was for two reasons, values and inability to meet certain requirements. If it had really been values that caused them to back out, they wouldn't have mentioned the second point. They only mentioned values to try to get something out of their loss.
The work is very likely NOT on canvas, but on paper.
The education model (immersive, time-intensive, mastery learning) Lambda School has in place seems like a very sweet spot between bootcamps and traditional university CS programs.

But some of that success has to be attributed to riding a boom wave of demand for software engineers. I'm a mid-career software engineer and have seen at least two "bust" cycles where experienced, well-credentialed, and just smart engineers went 12+ months between jobs. The effects of that have been reflected in undergraduate CS enrollments - we see big dips in the mid 90s and prior to 2006 (where a huge push up in enrollments begins again - https://cra.org/data/generation-cs/phenomenal-growth-cs-majo...). How well positioned the Lambda School revenue model to handle a 50% drop in demand and significant drop in starting salaries?

I am a big believer in the trade school process for software engineers, but I also think that the long term view for programmer careers is one that includes greatly reduced salaries in the average case and one reason I feel that way is that a learner can be productive in the workforce with a shorter-term and less specialized educational background.
Actually women delivery mortality became horribly bad with the invention of maternity hospitals and before the invention of sanitation.

Oddly, Rust's ownership system really does solve these problems, and Non-lexical lifetimes should eliminate accidental scope-broadening. Unless you are doing some mega-schenanigans, an e.g. MutexGuard gets released precisely when you think.

Your point about this being difficult to solve in the general case is true, it's just worth pointing out Rust intends to do that hard thing anyway.
I have trouble giving D a proper shake because of how rarely I find it to be the best solution to a problem.
Right now, industries in Eastern Europe are "not allowed" to trade directly with China, India or Russia. Anything they produce and is sold outside EU must go through German or other western company. Guess where the profits stay.

See also sanctions against Russia: the trade of everyone _except Germany_ went down; overall the trade is the same. Cui bono?
> This sounds very academic. Meantime in the real world, people in Java-land are constantly killing themselves trying to invent workarounds for type erasure induced problems.

Are you a manager at Sun by any chance? ;) See the "tangent; tl;dr" section in the article:

"Sun management deluded themselves that Java was the ultimate programming language (though yours truly did try to hint, ever so gently, that further progress in PL was at least conceivable)."

The author has spent a lot of effort trying to improve Java specifically, via language design committees, etc. AFAIK he was one of the lead designers of Java's reflection system.

Looking through his past posts it's clear that Java was getting increasingly hampered by the consequences of past decisions, and the committees weren't aiming for the same direction Bracha would like to see, so he gave up that uphill battle in favour of working with newer languages which are either free from legacy baggage (e.g. Dart) or can serve as a demonstration that these ideas can actually be implemented and work (e.g. Newspeak). Whilst the latter is largely academic, it's basically a proof-of-principle for the former.

For example, from https://gbracha.blogspot.com/2009/05/original-sin.html (linked in the article as "There is no justification for primitive types in an object oriented language"):

"I do not favor any of these features, but we will take them as a given."

"I am not suggesting that this discussion should be reopened. This is just a mental exercise."

"One of the many reasons I left Sun was because it was increasingly impossible to make meaningful progress on the language, or anything else for that matter."
This is one of the worst ideas I've ever heard of. That being said, PG says a lot of unicorn ideas sound terrible at first.

So either this will be a big hit, or huge failure

Doesn't need to be federal loans. The educational loan market is huge, and immune to bankruptcy.
Before you shell out $15k-$75k be aware that Google's record of maintaining API's is very bad. They very aggressively deprecate API's with little or no warning and provide zero alternatives. In my opinion, they have very little concern or respect for people developing on their various platforms. Maybe it's not applicable here but I've been burned by them before because of this.
No. The official position (as quoted by someone who actually asked the Highways Agency) is that the ability to actually tell red from green is not necessary for traffic lights. The sequence of lights and the positions of the lights is adequate.

* http://andrewhenley.co.uk/2012/02/colour-blindness-and-red-t...

The statutory instrument that governs traffic lights does not actually state anything more specific than "green", so claims that "our green has a bit of blue added" are not borne out by the regulations that actually apply, which do not mandate any such thing. (The regulations are specific about sizes in mm and timings in s, with allowed margins of variability, so the lack of specifics as to colour is not simply because the regulations are generally vague.) Since it isn't a mandate in the first place, explanations that this is mandated for the benefit of the colour blind are ill-founded.

* http://legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2016/362/schedule/14/part/2/m...

The idea that colour changes are done to help the colour blind ironically comes to newspapers and Internet discussions from outwith the U.K., from research and proposals in countries where there are multiple allowed arrangements and position alone is not an unambiguous determiner.

He misses what I consider a major issue. The price of college education is going up much faster than the cost of providing it. If you look at tuition vs what a professor is paid, one goes up much faster than the other. If you look at housing costs things don't add up either - renting an apartment seems to be a source of revenue for the schools. These are the obvious places the schools are making a ton of money - where does it go?

And then there are the absurdities. Where I went to school they now have all sorts of fancy places to eat on campus. I can't imagine students paying $4 a couple times a day for a Starbucks coffee when they're paying with borrowed money. This is just grossly irresponsible. I imagine the justification is "but everybody does it". The problem is nobody is teaching the general public anything about managing their money or evaluating costs of anything.

Sure, if you get a good job you can pay off your loan in X years, but that has nothing to do with the fact that you drastically overpaid for what you got (services provided).
I'm guessing more people got easier access to larger student loans.
When man pages are good, they're good. When they are bad, they are super verbose, incomprehensible, sparse, or otherwise completely useless.
My personal layers of organization:

Stubs with TODOs for staking out an interface to be implemented later and the like. Almost always doing "git add -p" is a good way to jog your memory about these. They can be committed but probably shouldn't survive until a merge into master.

A todo file entry for items which are heftier and/or not likely to be returned to today. My todo files are date-based so I try not to add todos for items with a time horizon beyond about three days in the future. I also try to keep these files small enough to actually get through in a day.

A single wish list/ideas file. Keep it in approximately priority order and pull items from the top when you finish your daily todos. This is also often feature-based so a single line might generate a bunch of tasks. Biased towards a personal backlog instead of "just add to JIRA/Trello/whatever" to avoid eternal agile deprioritization hell.

Works fine for me, though of course I'm not out here writing Redis either.
You can easily achieve the same effect by adding wood panels to visible parts of the interior. No need to build the entire thing with wood.
If I was an art collector I would pay much more for the artwork now, for the simple reasons that

1. The girl with a balloon print was not the only one of its kind. There are other variations. It was not so unique before.

2. This is the only one, the first one, even the first (prominent?) artwork that "destroyed itself"

3. It is still an artwork. It did not destroy itself completely, but stopped in the middle of the destruction process. Doesn't it look great now, sticking only half outside the frame? Any museum of contemporary art would die for having this. And only this, not a similar one or the next one that destroys itself.

It's not the Balkan wars of the 90s that are affecting people's lives today, it's a very old perpetual conflict of culture. That was the cause of the Balkan war in the first place.

Why should opinions be divided between 'pro' and 'anti'?

The issue is that China tends to be an emotive topic for some reason, and calm and factual analysis too rare.

It is possible to discuss China by recognising that it is a country that has been through a long period of decline and that is simply trying to re-assert itself on the world stage.
Intention. It stopped at a perfect point.
Switzerland has some of the world's best universities, sure.

But I don't want to do another degree (the only comparable option would be a 3 year, full time BSc in Computer Science).

Sure, the tuition costs would be lower, but the opportunity costs (plus 3 years of not really working while I study) are easily 10x higher than doing Lambda School.

Plus, a local university won't teach me the skills I need to become a better 'practical' web/mobile developer. It's a lot of (admittedly very interesting) theory, not the kind of vocational training I need.

With Lambda School I could strengthen my weak areas in 3-6months and don't need to travel to do so. A bargain for the price!

Our family bought a DJI Spark over Christmas. Been very happy with it. For social media sharing even for doing footage for your film making friend, shooting in 1080p is more than enough. We got the plus pack that had a case and extra battery. Well worth it.

We had a few months of intense use and then it’s on the shelf mostly now. Take amazing footage, so fun to fly around. Battery good too. Seriously it’s got 2km range you’ll probably not want to fly more than 700m cause it if ever came down you’d loose it further than that. And it already flys to the legal limit in Australia (100m up I think it is).

If you had a few more bucks the DJI mavik air looks amazing but really for your first drone the DJI Spark will do everything you want and more and if you really become a big fan you can always trade up.

Oh and the build quality and design are solid too, these things feel like the MacBook of drones IMHO.

My 2 cents.
Maybe part of the problem is that unless you delve beyond layman level (and maybe even if you do?) economics is close-coupled to political views, and those start wars- so we tend to steer clear on this board.
I doubt that article is real.
Being an instructor there already puts him two average deviations above the average graduate, I think. It's still a good signal, though.
Only if it gets big, and in that case, it can be avoided by analyzing transactions and discovering uncommon behavior. Good transparency in who does what and gets how much for it could also help. Nobody would use the app for money laundering if the police can just look at the logs.

If you’re looking for someone who came out of the Greece/EU saga looking good, you probably won’t find it.

The Greeks themselves somehow made a society with a shocking amount of tax dodging.

The Greek government allowed this, and lied its ass off while applying to the EU.

The EU either didn’t do due diligence or didn’t care. Once the time bomb did it’s inevitable thing, they were “shocked” and proceeded to punish Greece with forced austerity measures.

EU citizens from their part expressed some pretty ugly sentiments against the Greeks, IIRC.

Pretty much everyone came out of this looking far worse.
