To be a Monad you have to implement at least 2 functions >>=, and return, which must follow so called Monadic laws (of proper composition - associativity, etc). flatMap is just a function.

One more time - Futures are orthogonal to Monads. They may be viewed as such, but it is not necessary. Having only flatMap is sufficient for a strict language.
It's complicated ... But as the previous poster said what is called Assyrian today is indeed derived from ancient Aramean rather than ancient Assyrian.

The real contention is that the same group of modern people today can't decide what their ancestry is: Assyrian or Aramean. They fight about it a lot.
I think the resource cure is a real thing, but it depends who gets their hands on the resources first, i.e. how political power works when the resource becomes available. Australia, Canada And the USA were all democracies before they becane resource rich and always had highly diversified economies.

The resource curse kicks in when you have a developing nation with autocratic political norms because the rulers keep the resources for themselves. Because democratic reform would mean giving up their exclusive grip on the resources, they use those resources to fight it. This can also lead to a slide to autocracy in democratic countries with weak institutions - see Venezuela.
Is this a result of people having lots of direct interactions with mobile phones instead of people these days?
Hi Toni. What is the tech stack behind Twiverse?
Sitting next to my Chinese girlfriend in Chongqing.

Sichuan food is “麻”, which is a way to say it makes your tongue numb. Not “spicy” (though to me it’s very spicy).

North China food is normal, not spicy ( like dumplings, baozi, and such).

South China food is “清淡” , or something that is light. Typically this applies to Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Taiwan, etc.

But east China (shanghai, jiangsu, ) is sweet food
only an oblivious moron or someone who is happy with the status quo would be blind to that.

You’ve been here eight years. Do not talk like that on HN. You know this.

The conclusion from the article was:
Each of us can be happier, and America will start to heal, when we become the kind neighbors and generous friends we wish we had.

My point is that the neighbourliness of the southern states in no way healed the sectional rift. Ie the author didn't backtest his theory against history.

So either the authors conclusion doesn't follow from his premise or the conclusion is unrelated to the rest of the article (which I did read), or the last paragraph is not a conclusion or the whole article is just nonsense?
Probably also how about the initial users specifically
I would love to hear other dired features that people use. I'm just now getting a comprehensive understanding of how great dired is.
This is not a hypothetical, it's a system that already exists in several countries.

Why do people accept it? My answer is in two parts.

First, in developed countries very little of the overall tax burden is shouldered by struggling families. Whether we're talking about the USA or Finland, the highest income earners pay most of the income tax and the poor hardly anything at all. So unless we're talking about people who are just 'San Francisco poor' (i.e. have high incomes but feel poor because they earn less than their neighbours or friends), these are the people who will be subsidized not the ones subsidizing. Struggling families, rather than being the ones put upon by universal social programs, are the ones who benefit most. For instance, in the USA the top 1% of income earners pay a greater share of total income taxes than the bottom 90% (39% to 29.4% respectively).[1]

Second, one constant among countries with either zero tuition or very low tuition is post-secondary education sector is almost entirely public. There are no overpriced schools, universities regardless of their quality do not profit from their operations so there is no distinction between the state college you attended and the $50k/year private schools. And because universities can't increase their revenue by simply ratcheting up tuition, it's much harder for administrators to wake up one day and decide they should all get a raise paid by for the students which is a form of cost disease that is endemic in North American universities.

I distinctly remember the day I was in line at the bursars. The girl in front of me paid for the entire semester on her credit card! I had heard that people with huge limits existed but it did not even occur to me that tuition would be one if the things you could pay with a VISA.
Is that really the only other option?
Glad you find it useful, then again in this aspect the platform would likely be lacking as it does not allow users to analyse the "diversity rate" of the users they followed. It's certainly a future planned feature, when the platform grows past its 600 users.

Not a great formula for discussion.
Usually with so many citations doesn't mean that there are 1700 independent citations in papers, only 1700 different papers. His paper is like a root of the deep citation tree. Many people cite their last papers, some recent papers in the area and the foundational papers in the area. So once you get a big foundational paper, you pile up citations for years.

It would be a nice project to get the ADG of citations with this paper as root and make a graph of it. My guess it that it will be something that looks similar to tree (each paper in a branch would cite a few recent papers in the same branch), but most of the papers in the tree would cite also the root paper too.

Definitely not agreeing with GP. Progressives are not economic liberals. But you're right, the article has it backwards too. The phrase "staunchly conservative on regulation" seems to have a special meaning in the US that's not applicable elsewhere. In India and Pakistan, for example, "conservative" just means holding on to traditional religious values.
I don't disagree. But that statement doesn't contradict the original point.
It was often understood that the privileged should travel and broaden their minds as a kind of antidote to their privilege.

Consider encouraging the privileged to have narrow minds and experiences

Privilege used to be understood as a positive thing and something to be held with responsibility.
Simply not true. In Poland we not only have two standards, they are also expressed in inches: 1/2 and 3/4.

Cool project!

One minor question, how much does becoming a patron affect rankings?
So far people who checked the gender ratio of their followings (using one of the existing solutions), were most likely surprised (that it's so biased).

Assuming that, I'll tell them to open their following list, unfollow some of the group they're already following a lot, and follow more from Twiverse and its categories, or if the category isn't there, follow intentionally themselves.

it'll balance it up. That's the route I went and now I have a relatively good mix. I can iterate again, and do that again, but this time using Twiverse.
Yes, I agree it’s a problem, or rather a series of problems. Each one you solve allows the percentage of renewables to increase. What I’m saying is you need to set up the market opportunity as early as possible so that people can start working on commercial-scale solutions.
Hi Lucas,
I'm a bit sceptical, as most people will probably be.
As mentioned by other here - more concrete benchmarking data will greatly help. Preferably include a comparison with other technology bench results using the same data.

On the topic of data - I wonder what was actually on those compressed disks you've shown in the videos, because as you probably know compression algorithms performance depends on the complexity and entropy of the data.

Also, NTFS and FAT filesystems are mostly zeroes, so they do shrink down a lot when compressed, and virtual disks can even be "sparse" to begin with..

In short - more information is required.

As for reaching out to research groups / investors -
It can be difficult, and I know this from experience running my own startup.

Between you and me - most investors won't even understand what you've created. Assume they are non technical people.
If it were the 90's again - most of them would be working in the stock market, not technology.

So dumb it down, publish more papers/data, and get people excited -
In this business it's more about appearances than substance I'm afraid.. If there's hype - they will be interested.

Hope this helps
the US is pretty big as a whole, compared the EU the difference is as extreme. Also, never allow for the discussion to go by per capita as the seriously distorts the numbers in countries where a great deal of the population does not participate

Are you claiming it is a pure meritocracy or that it aspires to being such? If the former then I think that's remarkably optimistic to the point of naivety so I'll presume you mean the latter.
> [...] allowing children [...] to have unsupervised access to guns has a cost. It’s not a simple problem.

Does everyone else feel like the quoted statement is a perfectly normal thing to say? I am asking because I sure do not. The world is full of complex problems with no simple answers, but this one, in my opinion, is not one of them.
> there is no other way to talk about values that have not been evaluated yet.

There is a way, and it is known since at least R5RS.

CREDIT SPECIALIST
I had medical bills, student loan and a bankruptcy filed 2015. I had credit scores of 512 (TransUnion) and 526 (Equifax) in June 2016. I applied for a surgery loan in July but was not approved because of my poor credit profile. I contacted my loan officer, he explained that I needed a score of 750 and the bankruptcy removed from my report before I can be qualified for the loan. I had to seek for a way to raise my score and bring my credit profile up to speed because I had to do the surgery at that time. I made some research and I got a lot of good review and strong recommendations on Trojan Virus an ethical credit specialist who has helped a lot of people in the States so I decided to email him (TROJANVIRUS212@GMAIL.COM). He replied my mail and asked me to text (+1 912 388 3132) him for further discussion, I did and he explained the process to me in a very simple terms. We got started with the process on a substantial agreement. After 2 weeks, he removed the bankruptcy, deleted other negative info, eventually raised my score to 792 and verified the changes with the 3 credit bureaus. I got the loan, went through with my surgery and I have Trojan virus to thank. If you need a similar help with your credit, Chex system and DUI report, you can contact him via his number or email above.
The number of radicals might be the same, but the internet gives these existing radicals a much easier way to establish communities than before. As far as I know it's an accepted fact within social psychology that groupthink causes radicals to become more radical, which could suggest that even if the number of radicals is the same, these same radicals might become more extreme.
I am not sure how it is relevant to the subject that you can use a Linux desktop.

This is not biblical platitudes. This is you being focused on specific manifestations of unkindness and disregard--like racism and sociopathy--rather than the phenomena at large.

Like take this quote for example:

"Maybe you think that because something like it's in the bible, it must be right."

This is either your unkindness and disregard for me personally, for religious people in general, or for all of the above. It's just that the tables have turned to the point where this manifestation is socially acceptable, so you're blind to it.

As for the Nietzsche, one has to wonder how many people are against racism due to a deep moral sentiment--like the abolitionists of old? How many are against it because it works against them--like minorities? How many are against purely from the fear of repercussions--the HR department, or society at-large?

From what I've seen, people in that first group are an exceedingly rare breed.
I made a similar point in another comment below but I'll repeat it here. I think it's unlikely you provide supporting evidence every time you make a factual claim because if you did it would be astonishingly laborious to carry out any kind of conversation.

And a brief look at your post history shows many examples of statements unaccompanied by supporting evidence.

As laudable as your sentiments are, they are rather unrealistic. We make unsupported claims all the time because normal human communication is not the same thing as rigorous chains of deductive statements.
Howdy, I love to be wrong so that I can be right :)

The paper I linked is the shortest one on the topic, and you're right, it doesn't have all the info for those that want to go deeper.

Again, my claims are that: 1. Ebbinghaus's Forgetting Curve is real, although probably not as bad as he/we thought (two latest papers that I have on it: DOI: 10.1016/j.jmp.2010.08.009, DOI: 10/f7vfcn); 2. Spaced Repetition is the best way to beat Ebbinghaus's Forgetting Curve for most people (I read a bunch of articles--the DOI's I still have saved are the following, but I can't remember which papers were better than others - DOI: 10.1111/j.1745-6916.2006.00012.x, DOI: 10.1177/1529100612453266 <-this one is the one on which the article I linked is based,
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/stl0000036).

I could look for more, I haven't had to prove this for a long time, however, like I said, I love to be wrong (especially since I use this for my students, so if there's a better way, I'd like to know!). Do you have any links to studies that contradict 1. Ebbinghaus's Forgetting Curve and 2. Spaced Repetition as the best way to learn facts?

Cheers man, I'm happy you forced me to dig up these papers :)

Related to Albert Wenger's "attention as the scarce resource" thinking. https://thoughtshrapnel.com/2018/06/28/attention-scarcity/
The number of citations is not a measure of quality (does anyone really think so?). Having 17,000 citations means that in 17,000 papers, people found some reason to cite that work, meaning that it had a massive overall impact. Terrible papers can have an impact too, but anything that has that much of an impact is worth reading.
To be a place to find users from "different backgrounds" it looks to me to only show the political bias of the author.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the only sanctioned different background seems to be "POC" (what does that even mean), "LGBTQ+" and "with disability".

The home page sports a "check 1.000 inspiring women" but not a "1.000 inspiring men". I guess only inspiring women are worth following.

But actually they don't even need to be inspiring, since they also have a "random women" section. I thought propping up some people based solely on their gender was sexist. I guess it's not when we do it for women.

Also, a fairly glaring omission in the topics seems to be religion. And I say it as a non believer. It looks like non-religious people won't be allowed to look for someone with a different background.

In the end, the site is yours, and you can of course list, or not list, whomever you please. But the claim of discovering people from "different backgrounds" seems to me disingenuous at best.

More accurate, given the current content, would be "a few, politically-sanctioned backgrounds".
This is a much better phrasing of the point I was stumbling to make. Thank you.
I appreciate your work, but you're not being very honest with your claims.

nnn is not keeping information about 400K files in memory in that benchmark. As a result, the rescan is necessary when changing directory. The rescan may be fast in many cases and in some cases it may even be what you'd want, but I can also name many cases where you certainly won't want it (large NFS mounts being one example).

Sorry for the pedantry. I spent a fair amount of time optimizing ncdu's memory usage, so I tend to have an opinion on this topic. :)

not at the broad level that kuerbel described it. that's pretty much the same all over germany and even true in austria for the most part.

don't know about other european countries though.
Yep, that's what I intended to convey; sorry if that wasn't clear.

Sometimes it's a side-effect of a drug. Sometimes it's a symptom of other issues in the body/mind.

My point is that people who are obese (to an extent that causes issues like sleep apnoea or other complications) are not that way because they simply choose to be that way, or because they "just eat too much".

People who can easily lose the weight have already done so. Everyone else is stuck with it, for one or more of any number of complex reasons, and outside observers are in no position to pass judgment.
I hate "what do you do" question with a passion. Not saying it is a bad one, as most people don't seem to mind, but I dislike the implicit (possibly unintentional) importance given to my work or even having one.

And I know people for whom this question is really anxiety inducing.
I do not believe people are leaving small towns because they can't watch anime or whatever.

They're leaving small towns because small towns are not the place to look for education and work.

Idk what constitutes small in your book. I grew up in towns of around 10k to 23k people. Had no trouble being a nerd, playing video games, reading, watching anime, coding.

Now I'm in a city an order of magnitude larger, and more lonely than I've ever been before.
It's the same for me. The answer has been to reduce my spending (incl. a decision to not have kids) and get well-paying fixed-time contract gigs. They require me to move from my (cheap) home town to a city (often in a foreign country) that's hellish for me (like London). I deliberately consider those period of my life as "working on an oil rig". I go to the rig, do the work for 6 or 12 months, am miserable there (from shitty work, no free time, no friends or family, usually substandard housing etc.) and come back with a nice bundle of money that can sustain me for a couple years. I have not managed to find a way to live a satisfactory life while holding a full-time job, and at this point I don't think I'll ever will.

I blame this on the built environment of the US. Nothing is human scale or people oriented. It's commerce and cost oriented. Very few independent shops in most cities. No concept of a high street or village of shops, no public square, nothing.

I'm referring to the post WW2 America. Obviously, you'll find these things in the old core of New England and parts of the South.
Putting a GitHub link in our resume/profile is already a way for us to low key monetize that chart, and how many repos we have, and how many stars we have. Turning that link into a widget that says "Very active in $FOO, $BAR, and $BAZ" would probably be helpful when bargaining for a raise or discussing your base salary at $NEW_EMPLOYER.

It already works like that on Stack Overflow Careers and, indeed, being in the top 0.1% on a couple of specific tags happens to be quite the shortcut.
Why would the issue even come up? Do people go to AI conferences expecting to have sex there?
Very true. But you made a controversial statement without backing it up. Then you replied with a typical "just a forum" excuse. Which probably means: You can't find sources to back up your statement, or available sources contradict your statement.

If someone wants a source to my comments, I'll provide it as best I can.
Um. Relative to the mainstream / status quo most of these are different. It might also be relative to what Twitter typically suggests. That is, if Twitter's suggestion are a reflection of the composition of the user base and Twitter isn't composed of a fitting percentage of different, then different will be over looked.

You might have a point. But trying framing it as useful and constructive instead of bitter and confused.
A strong explanation, great work!
Other solutions do exist, and it certainly means they are possible. There are likely solutions which not yet written in code, but possible anyway.
Here also my repsons, since people might not open the github issues:
“I’m aware of these early issues, and I’m also aware that they replaced the hash function with KECCAK-384 for the proof of work and in general have grown a lot since then as well as hired a lot of people including cryptographers.
But all that aside, this project uses IOTA simply as an immutable database with some additional spam protection. For the encryption, we are using the web crypto API (AES256-GCM). If you have ideas for a potential IOTA replacement feel free to share them. I’m completely open here. For example, I looked into orbitdb, but I haven’t included it for multiple reasons (e.g., hosting an ipfs gateway inside a website isn’t ideal and it hasn’t any spam protection).”
Hopefully not only AI conferences will follow. For many it is a big problem to obtain a visa in time. Others just prefer even to skip the conference just to avoid the trouble.
> Suburbs are structurally lonely

My European perspective. I wouldn't blame it on suburbs in particular. I would blame most if not all forms of city living. Most people live in flats where nobody wants to have anything to do with their neighbor and there is no communality. People move in and move out, nobody cares. The less you have to hear of your neighbor, the better. FWIW I would rather have a 'burb castle than a flat where I have to smell and listen to idiots drink, smoke, fight and blast music. And I think I'd rather get to know the neighbors over at the adjoining castle than the scum in these neighboring flats.

Now farms and other isolated & rural towns are a different deal. There you're no longer mass of people. You actually get to know the community around you, and people don't come & go nearly as much.
This is not wrong at all. Compared to other professions, university-employed academics did well.

How is it controversial that it is easier for someone who is directly employed by the state to be a socialist?

You mention Marxist discourse in West Germany. It was easy for Adorno to be a socialist, because all he could do was talk in a convoluted, content-free manner.

Celibidache (who actually did something), called him the biggest windbag of the 20th century.
