Zygohistomorphic prepromorphisms[0] are a common topic of discourse among five year olds, for sure...

But more seriously, I strongly disagree about Haskell being anything like Python is for kids.

The level of abstract reasoning that Haskell requires for more than just adding two numbers is not easy or intuitive for kids. Following step-by-step instructions is intuitive. Writing Python line-by-line is easy to understand by analogy to a list of instructions. Eventually they can start using functions when they're comfortable, but you're very unlikely to succeed in teaching a five year old about typeclasses, monads, functional purity, effect systems, or anything like that. The thing with Haskell is that you have have to know almost all of that to do anything useful from day one. Even something as simple as drawing lines on the screen.[1]

Don't be ridiculous by suggesting Haskell is just the same to five year olds as Python.

I agree, but the US isn't in a great position to decry civilians being killed by bombings in a proxy war.
I found this article to be profoundly weird in a lot of ways. It's not quite suffering from the "igon value" problem, but gosh does it come close. It's hard to measure programming language popularity, and most estimates I've seen have Python neck and neck with JavaScript with regards to popularity. Plenty of other languages have simple syntax and are easy to read, the only thing I would say Python has that is clearly superior is availability of packages and community support, (and even then JS has got to be close there) which are undoubtedly huge, but I think it's fallacious to assume that those reflect intrinsic technical worth.
Very Nice interface. Takes things to the next level. However seeing the word workflow I assumed that there will be visual graphical representation of "my task" for a given project. It will show dependencies between the tasks. I assumed it will be show me the different steps visually with a nice diagram and I can drill into things to see subtask if required etc.

Is it binary-compatible with Windows & Mac OS? If it's not, then it's not a replacement and the title should be changed to reflect that. I respect the idea of speed and privacy (though I'm still a minimalist - I believe in using 16/32-bit and less than 1GB RAM). But before I can "replace" Windows, I need an OS that actually works like Windows.
Edit: the below is a sort of an almost off topic rant: I’ve been looking for a thread to vent on.

That said, counting and not tracking as a concept is awesome, and more thought can go in that direction and I expect it will be fruitful.

Tracking isn’t inherently bad. It’s the history of malicious and overzealous ad networks that make it so. Also that analytics trackers don’t have a “we won’t sell your data even if we are bought out” philosophy. I wish we could accept that on a site by site basis understanding behavior is very valuable, and can greatly improve the experience of visitors, but unfortunately this gets coupled with ads, marketing and other internet four letter words that make it hard for folks to see it in a positive light.

I work for an analytics company. I totally respect folks who blindly (or thoughtfully) hate them and hate JavaScript - it’s clear nobody has built a system that is consciously safe and secure from the bottom up in a way that a website owner could have total confidence in and that’s a bummer, but I wish the HN community would make an effort to have a discussion about this rather than knee-jerk rage any time someone talks about analytics or tracking.

I live in Shanghai and already have an electric vehicle ... it just isn't a car. I would estimate that almost 20% of the population already has electric scooters.

That being said I doubt they will get rid of them because that isn't really the way China works. For taxis, you really need an ICE at the moment. For delivery vehicle not so much. Every delivery vehicle that I've seen in cities is electric. The trucks between cities aren't but lots of the intercity deliveries are by train (some is electric some isn't).

One thing to be aware of is that China generally has tough laws that are not well enforced. This is by design. They don't have to change the law they just need to enforce it more strictly.

What generally happens is that the laws are introduced into the top tier cities and then slowly out to other cities over time. What they have been doing is increasing the emission requirements. This is to bring down pollution. We had an old jeep that we rented that had to be tested every 6 months because of its age. There was a loophole that let us pass the test. It cost a little bit more but we could drive it. The government knew about the loophole and let it exist for a few years then closed it. You knew it was coming just not when. I think the jeep was moved into the country or sold for scrap.

The emission requirements will just keep slowly going up. There will be way around the requirements (which they are aware of) but they will slowly make it harder and harder. If you really want an ICE it will still be possible but when you go for a new car it will just be less effort and easier to get electric.

This is why I have an electric moped. I could get a petrol one which would technically be illegal but it is just so much easier to get electric.
Unfortunately Microsoft has embraced hardcoding paths for their own software. However, I've found that the vast majority of Windows applications already are or can easily be made portable.

It could have easily turned out differently. Our president was thinking about handing over a US resident to Erdogan so he can be killed, just so he could get Erdogan to lay off of Bin Salman for killing another US resident. And let's not forget how we experienced a coordinated terrorist attack by 15 Saudis that killed thousands of Americans and we decided to go to war with Iraq and Afganistan to get them back. Our diplomatic/business relationship with SA has always been more important than American lives.

The only thing that made this different is that this time there were some people in power who decided to make it a big deal.

Yes, I know the jokes about zygohistomorphic prepromorphisms. How about you try explaining Python decorators and object-oriented design to a five year old?

> The thing with Haskell is that you have have to know almost all of that to do anything useful from day one.

Okay, then how is adding two numbers together useful? If that's Python programming then the equivalent counts as Haskell programming. You are setting a double standard for what you expect a 5 year old to be doing.

Even then, tell me which of these is simpler and more clear:

def double(x): return x + x
double x = x + x

or, perhaps

let f x = x + x

The point I'm making is that with regards to syntactic complexity, Haskell and Python are similar, (in fact Haskell is actually _far_ simpler) and with regards to conceptual/semantic complexity, you have to be fair in comparing them together. You do not need to understand typeclasses, monads, or effect systems to do basic Haskell programming in GHCi.

And unfortunately changing cars too often has a significant environmental cost. I think making of the car has as much as 50% of its average life-time carbon footprint. So buying a newer car may be increasing the MPG, but brings in a huge upfront environmental cost.

What would the purpose of such a show be? Before the whole thing, US relations with Arabia were much more positive than US public opinion toward Arabia. If the US wanted to distance itself from Arabia, it wouldn't need to swing public opinion by staging a show trial; public opinion was already there.
According to mutual agreement between Turkey and US, US is actually obliged to return him Turkey. As far as I understand from what I read Erdogan does not want him back to Turkey but extradited to a 3rd country, not sure why. Probably he won't be able to run his network as efficiently as he can from say South Africa.
>Plenty of other languages have simple syntax and are easy to read

As easy as Python? That's a very high bar. We all agree (I hope) that JavaScript requires linters (plural) to write well. Rust/Scala/Haskell have unpleasant learning curves. Java is verbose and clumsy. Basic and Pascal have fallen into disuse. Go may be simple, but it's syntax is more symbolic and less English-like than Python. Don't get me started on Perl and the lisps. C/C++/PHP have more footguns than features.

I'm not a Python die-hard, but it's obvious that it's superior when it comes to ease-of-use and learning curve. It's very similar to how people write pseudocode.

That UI fit with the whole experience of the Macintosh of the time. Notice the fuzziness - the low res CRTs were all fuzzy at the time the UI played into it. The crazy colours perfectly fit the branding of the machine it ran on. Note that there was no subpixel spacing in the era of CRTs.

As a part of my college curriculum most students are required to take a programming course; I got put into the Java course. Although I was good at it, I hated every minute of it because it felt like I was fighting the computer to make things work.

I played around with PHP in order to make hacks on WordPress themes, which again I hated due to system-fighting.

I learned base R (pre RStudio/tidyverse) for stats classes, which I hated even more than the previous two since everything felt combersome.

Then just for fun I installed Linux on my laptop and experimented scraping APIs with Python with only a few lines of code and I got hooked.

Nowadays I use primarily Python for both work and personal projects. If I had started with learning Python, I would have had a much different career path!
My suggestion is that they won't write functions, not for quite awhile. Why would they ever need to understand decorators or object oriented design to start writing code!? They can write actual code though, not just addition in some REPL. In Haskell, you do need to understand a crazy number of things to do anything.

That "actual code" I mentioned can involve drawing on the screen, which as I pointed out in painstaking detail, is not going to be explainable to a five year old with Haskell code. That kind of visual feedback is incredibly important to concrete learners, which everyone is at that age.

Haskell and Python are not similar with regards to "conceptual/semantic complexity." At all.

I have used Haskell in the past. I understand it. Someone who hasn't reached Piaget's "formal operational" stage is not going to understand it. Piaget's theory isn't perfect, but it is normally true that people start out at a very concrete level.

As I said, don't be ridiculous.

Here is some super complicated Python code that kids can learn a lot from:

from turtle import *

color('blue')
forward(200)
left(90)
forward(200)
left(90)
forward(200)
left(90)
forward(200)
left(90)

done()

Eventually, they'll move on to using for loops! Or even asking the user a question and drawing something based on that. You literally have to understand (at a basic level) monads and effect systems to start implementing a question-response system in Haskell.

Please, show me what my above code looks like in Haskell, since it's so comparable in complexity.

I don't think you have an appreciation for what goes into learning programming. You've probably been doing it for far too long at this point, without thinking back to the early days.

Why are you so defensive about Haskell in the first place?
I'm a Python developer (web back) who occasionally does some fixes on legacy RoR project and I always ask myself why does Ruby needs so much sugar. Also it does not look very consistent to me, but it's probably because I get to practice only once in a couple of months.

After Java, CPP and Node, Python looks to me as the greatest of all. Syntax is just comes to you and usually does not produce problems. And Python even right now has so many areas of application, and does it without much compromises, that I wonder why would I want to change anything.

Second that, I could recite the Pickaxe book from memory by the time I gave Python a serious try. And I could never really get over loosing my Ruby toys or having to memorize arbitrary quirks like variable scoping, method overriding and more. And I think I gave it a fair chance, went to conferences and even got code published in one of the bibles. Ruby feels like a smaller language to me, it doesn't take as much space in my brain. And since my brain isn't exactly aging with dignity, I'm designing an even simpler language [0] for days to come.

Technically you could use one of the older (or custom ~$40) rtlsdr dongles with the Elonics E4000 tuner which goes all the way up to 2200 MHz (I have a couple). They're what I use for doing any >1400 MHz work with dongles. They'd work just fine with this toolset.
Of course they are the same product. The product is a burger. Which is why the burger from Le Bec Fin was a flop while NY Burger Company's burgers are success. On the other hand Peter Luger burger or Rouge Burger or Parc Burger are successes.

It is unquestionable that the reviewer had no clue about a good burger - he picked OK burgers in OK places that were barely hanging on which is why his review targets did poorly. Compare that to burgers ( or restaurants ) picked by the Guy on DDD - in Philly that would be Good Dog, with its Good Dog burger - nothing special except that the cheese is injected into the patty, while it was cooked well enough by people who aren't that skilled at cooking. The wait went from 10-20 minutes to 1.5-2 hours. The place continued to sling the burgers ( and other stuff ) and continued to be popular year after year because unlike the clueless reviewer at Thrillist Guy ( who has a boatload of other problems ) at least can identify a good burger in a place that won't go out of business if its business increases by 400% ( not to mention 10% that his review did -- all of those numbers are well known - Food Network has all the numbers because they do hundreds of shows based on that. The so called magnificent changes in the fortunes of restaurants after Ramsay/Mission Impossible/etc mean 15-30% of receipt increases ) Good Dog was an anomaly in that because they did 3x in business based on the show airing for nearly a year ( DDD shows do ~30%-45% boost on average boost)

I'm a Haskell programmer. I agree that Haskell is as expressive and fosters an ease of readability like Python. But to say that you can do basic programming without understanding type classes, is taking it a bit too far.

Ok this might be embarrassing to admit but when we used GKE about 8 months ago we tried to do this but we couldn’t get our own logging to get anything from the pods. Maybe the tech lead was biased and wanted to go to AWS all along. I’ll have to take another look at it because I liked the service. What I didn’t like is that I on many occasions saught help from Google but got no response. We didn’t pay for support but just an email a few days later from support showing the methods to disable it and maybe a look into why our on cluster logging tools weren’t ingesting anything would have been nice.
