I appreciate something about it feels weird to a number of people, and it feels that way to me at times, too. I'm just pointing out:

In JS call order always matters (it's an imperative language full of side effects), and many calls have side effects that very much differ based on the order you call them.

Even if the gut reaction to hooks is that they "feel" magical or quirky, it's not that different from how a lot of black box function calls already work in the language, it's just maybe more obvious with hooks because they are more explicit in the rules on when you should call them.

Which isn't to denigrate feeling weird about hooks. Again, even I still feel weird about them sometimes. Just that it is less unusual than that initial gut reaction seems to think it is.
Worked as a PM in one of these Gig companies. Almost all companies do this (Not saying that it's right or wrong). They way they frame it to 'contractors' is "We will make sure you get enough orders to earn $10 in 1 hour. Where that $10 comes from is not something that we care about. If the customers tip you, well there's your $10 dollars, if they don't we will cough up the requisite amount to match the guarantee". There is no such thing as Base Pay as we understand it in this business model.

It would have been interesting to compare the different live streams for latency since at least a half dozen news organizations were putting SOTU on YouTube - an experiment for next time.
That's how I feel. We warned them that they should either fix their ads or we would take more drastic steps. They did not listen.

I don't know if calling it a 'revolution' is the best idea - it seems like they always end up devouring their children. Marxist 'eat the rich' types of revolutions are pretty recent, too - traditionally it seems like a frustrated upper middle class is what aristocrats and overreaching executives really have to fear. Also, I never miss a chance to trot out this quote:

"Don't put your trust in revolutions. They always come around again. That's why they're called revolutions. People die, and nothing changes."

Very good to know! Keep going strong !
Having your own language can increase productivity. The compiler took 2 weeks according to OP. Also the fast compile times definitely help. This is also a project only OP is working on so number of contributors doesn't matter, and even then it's stupidly simple to learn any C-like language if you know one already. If this works for OP then it's definitely not a waste of time really.
It is never the child's fault.
Been there. Knew my time with the Navy would be coming to an end after three straight nights of 2 hrs sleep. Followed by a maintenance evolution. Finally got a chance to get some decent sleep, but was racked out again because I had left a small discarded tube in the work area. I think back and wonder how the Navy was able to function at all with all of the chaos going on during a normal work day. So much of the chaos was self inflicted.

>the man who dies leaving behind many millions of available wealth, which was his to administer during life, will pass away " unwept, unhonored, and unsung," no matter to what uses he leaves the dross which he cannot take with him. Of such as these the public verdict will then be : "The man who dies thus rich dies disgraced."

—Andrew Carnegie
You know, there are a lot of problems with your logic. I'm a product of a Jesuit University where I was forced to write paper after paper on topics around morality, good, evil, justice, and similar themes. Justice has a lot of different potential definitions - many (most) of which wouldn't define "adding value" as a "just" way to get rich. A different definition of "just" might more likely define a massive distribution of wealth to some individuals as morally unjust based on outcomes. With such a logic targeting the rich would be morally justified - even if illegal and involving killing or death.

The Jesuits are a very serious bunch of guys - many have died for their beliefs. And just because they are Catholic doesn't mean that they agree with Catholic policy - though they recognize that it has the weight of established policy (as Pope Francis has said more than once as he defended things I know he disagrees with.)
In 2019 the US federal budget is $4.407 trillion. [1]

The combined wealth of America's top 400 billionaires in 2017 was 2.7 trillion.

If the social democrats got their dream and took all of their money we could fund the government for only about seven months. When will D.C. and the American people realize that tax rates aren't the problem?! It's the spending stupid!

Edit: Yep, keep downvoting facts people. That will surely save us.

What’s granola hippies?
That's true. But what about the people that never do take the time to educate themselves on their own? Could it be worth the extra expense to society to have a (presumably) trusted individual take a bit of time to explain some basic concepts about health?

I don't know the answer, but I do think it is an interesting question.
So, we're supposed to trust the application's main process to accept a credit card securely, but not trust their system which tracks UX?

It might be one more place to screw up, but so is just having more actions your app can do.

I'm not sure I see any difference between an app recording all I traction within it (for single purpose apps, but not browsers) and a store video recording everything in it.

I don't know much about this outbreak but in some parts of the world you are required to have your vaccinations up to date if you want access to public services.

Can't that be implemented at a state/local level?
Not at all. Taxation isn't robbery at all. The tax system one of the institutions that makes it possible to create great enterprises in the first place.

This was the case for our grandparents generation as well. When they grew up, kids commonly died of childhood diseases, so when they had kids and vaccines became available, they fucking rushed to have their kids vaccinated, because they had seen the bad effects of the diseases.

I was born in the 1970's, and noone from my generation or younger in the west has really seen the bad effects, noone we knew died of measles or got paralyzed by polio, so we have no fear of the diseases.

And that's why the fears of the anti-vax movement are so strong, there's no counter-balance to them. Everything is a risk, having a vaccine is risky, but if people value the risk of the diseases as 0, of course some people are going to object to the vaccines, because they think it's the bigger risk.
Regarding Haskell, the type system is really the main feature of the language, not the paradigm. Haskell allows you to program in the type system (using some popular extensions) and simply derive all your code from your types. I highly recommend Type Driven Development with Idris as an intro the absolutely crazy things you can do with a powerful type system.

The issue with dynamically typed FP is that FP is essentially about functions as mathematical objects, and there's really nothing mathematical about dynamic typing. Primarily, static types act as a proof, and because we're talking functions in the mathematical sense, you can actually reason about your program in the normal way.

Haskell is for eggheads though. What I really like is Rust, which feels like you're using Haskell and C at the same time. It's both powerfully low level and powerfully high level, and extremely pragmatic.

All that said, it sounds like you're super passionate about clojure, and I hope no one rips it out of your hands. I know what it's like to play the language wars games, and I wish you and all our fellow brethren the best of luck.

Fruit _juice_ is more problematic. Drinks release a large amount of sugar very quickly into your system, they also don't "fill you up" and it is hard to quantify exactly how much you have consumed, meaning that people consume more sugar than they intended to. Drinks are directly absorbed into your gut without requiring digestion, and you can also drink fruit much faster than you could ever chew the same amount of whole fruit.

So yes, do avoid fruit juice, soda, smoothies, alcoholic beverages, ice cream, etc; but avoiding whole fruit is probably premature optimisation.
Sugar is not bad per se. The issue of sugar in processed foods, candy etc. is that it absorbs quickly and causes blood sugar spikes. This is bad.

Fruits and vegetables have fiber, which slows sugar absorption, hence no blood sugar spikes. Of course, if you eat 10 bananas daily, then it is not healthy.

Also, some vegetables contain lots of sugar too.
The conspiracy exists because in order to satisfy their ego, people like to think they know more than they do. At the same time, people will reject a doctor's advice because they know more than the doctor, but then run to the doctor when they get sick. Other than education, I don't know how we can counter this. It's sad that almost everyone I ask doesn't know how evolution works by the time they graduate high school, much less how vaccines work.

That's... not really true of LINQ, specifically. I have seen this assumption from developers before, with regard to LINQ-to-objects, that 'the compiler does clever stuff to optimize LINQ expressions', but... no, not really. It compiles a series of method calls. The JIT might do some optimization. But it's not a query optimizer - it just does what you tell it, and underneath it all there's nothing but an enumerator.MoveNext() getting called repeatedly.

Setting up state machines and continuations is something C# does when you write generators (with yield) and async methods (with await), but LINQ doesn't do that, particularly.

LINQ the language feature in particular doesn't do any of that sort of thing. As a language feature, LINQ is just the 'query comprehension' syntax, which is the 'from x in y where bar select z' coding form. And from the language's point of view that is just a different way of writing y.Where(x => bar).Select(x => z), which it will then try to compile. If it happens to wind up calling generator methods which implement state machines and continuations, or just simple methods that return ordinary objects, LINQ doesn't care, so long as the types all line up.

The only other thing that confuses matters with LINQ is that those lambdas it wants to compile can match method signatures that have delegate types, or Expression<> types, in which case the lambda doesn't get compiled as executable code, but rather as an expression tree literal, which is how Linq to SQL and friends were built (but again, that's not a 'LINQ' feature - you can assign or pass a lambda as an Expression<> yourself without involving 'LINQ'). And THAT is where LINQ gets a lot of its worst reputation, because that turns out to introduce a ton of complexity and failure modes that aren't the fault of the C# language, except in as much as it made it possible for a library to get involved in interpreting your code's syntax tree at runtime, which may have been a mistake.
I think it's really weird and sad that this comment and another pro-vaccine comment were downvoted to almost dead within minutes of being posted.
I have some electronics with LED displays/indicators that have been on 24/7 for over 30 years, or 256k hours, and haven't failed. The difference between those and the ones in bulb replacements is that the latter are driven much harder, to the point that they dissipate a lot of heat. Indicator/display LEDs don't get hot or even noticeably above ambient.

Thus it seems that, just like with incandescent bulbs, LEDs will last practically forever if they're run dimly. The difference is that LEDs are actually more efficient at lower current densities, where they're converting more of their input power to light instead of heat, but cost considerations has lead to typical bulbs driving them at much higher currents for more brightness but correspondingly less life and efficiency. They're still far more efficient than incandescents, so I guess that's what counts...
They claim that minority students increased representation in gifted programs after increased testing and linked to a paper.

They forgot to mention that the paper says IQ cutoffs were 130 for non-disadvantaged students vs 115 for poor/minority.

The paper then goes on to say, with lower ovjective standards, the groups pass the subjective bar at equal rates.

The subjective bar being applied by a system so motivated to achieve proportional representation they altered cutoffs.
Fixing wealth inequality is a never ending process. You have to continuously transfer wealth downward, as wealth in a capitalist system has a kind of gravity such that it flows more to people who already have it.

You don’t need to eliminate wealthy people or raise everyone into the middle class, you just need policies that constrain the extremes within reasonable limits — for the sake of societal stability if not of basic fairness.

Hi @h3throw, Mattermost CEO here. I highly appreciate your feedback.

People care a lot about their communication systems and we're continually listening and working to improve.

The $20M Series A helps us more quickly narrow the gap between open source and proprietary solutions.

We want to continue to invest, grow and raise funding so we can relentlessly improve open source options.

I've found that the customers that choose Mattermost have a long term view. They're joining us on the journey that brings more choice to the market. They share the belief that the world can be made safer and more productive through open source technologies.

A $20M Series A may not seem like a lot compared to the $1.2B Slack has raised to date--But it's four times the size of Slack's $5M Series A in 2010: https://www.crunchbase.com/funding_round/slack-series-a--539...

@h3throw, may I beg you for a favor?

So I can learn more about addressing your comment in 2), could you help share one thing we can improve?

If they trusted the doctor, they would have gotten the vaccine already. I think doctors need to stop seeing people that refuse vaccines (I only visit provider groups whose policy is to refuse unvaccinated people), and also a government initiative to educate people about how a vaccine works and the history of its development, use, and efficacy. And removing any non medical exemptions.

We have thousands of people watching out for terrorist attacks, when the biggest biological threat is our neighbor.

I think the original success of the US was due to the paradoxical government we created. The entire purpose of the government was to protect people from the government.

You can slip `void` in after delete an indefinite number of times. You can also do an indefinite number of `new class extends class extends class extends class {} {} {} {}

Note: Please either link interesting projects that are related, or simply spell out how you would go about implementing this.
You probably need to change the problem. Instead of doing real time control of the steering wheel and speed you probably need to let people click where they want to go, and then let them watch the car drive there before the make their next click. Switch to a turn-based game feel and use the driving time and the decision making time to hide the latency.
Putting aside moral issues, taxes don't redistribute wealth. They just give it to the government.

How is the government going to be suddenly better at managing money? What leadership controls this new spending? What makes them so much better? This is the day 2 stuff that never gets any thought, and yet is the critical piece of this theory.
> Payday loans are often the least-worst option, but that doesn't prevent us from creating a better option.

It does. It isn't a realistic assumption that you as a society aren't going to regulate payday loans and at the same time be concerned about the well-being of those in need of them. Nations who care about peoples well being, also restrict access to things that hurt them. Because anything else would be working against that interest.

You do realize that there are any number of ways to have a bad time in the US. Payday loans aren't unique in any regard. It isn't therefor likely that this would be fixed sooner than anything else. The people who need payday loans already suffer from injustice. That payday loans themselves would also be unjust wouldn't be surprising, at all.

Why do you think people who can get fired, evicted, don't have health care or even die giving birth would suddenly be cared for when it comes to affordable credit, especially after legalizing unaffordable credit? Is the government is going to come in an fix this one issue in competition of the companies operating in the market?
Maybe it's because it's taboo to say so, but I haven't even seen it speculated that the rise of these diseases be partly, or even mainly attributed to illegal immigration.

How many anti-vaxxers are there compared to those illegally crossing the border? There's a battery of vaccine requirements for any immigrant[1], but if tens of millions of those living in America skipped that part, it seems like a huge potential source of the problem.

"Many popular iPhone apps record what you do with them" would be perfectly accurate and less sensationalist.

Your comment has changed several times, so i apologize if my reply is out-of-date!

The CDC web site is good, but a portion of people will say “That’s the Government” and thus be turned off. I don’t like it, but that’s the way it is, so we need to account for that (while working to change it, of course!).

As for Khan Academy, I didn’t know they had videos on this, and that’s cool! But there’s a large population who doesn’t know about it, and so won’t rank its videos any higher than other videos.

I am curious, does Khan Academy advertise on Fox News? I’m not trying to be flippant, I’m just noting that repetition breeds familiarity, and familiarity breeds trust.

Ideally, your PCP would be able to direct you to specific videos, and vouch for their content. But that might result in a conversation, and conversations take time that they don’t have. If Khan Academy was better-known among all segments of the population, then a quick pointer to one of their videos would be better-received!
As someone who's lived and worked in the Bay Area for 16+ years, this is a fantastic article. It's just spot on in its characterization of the old and new Microsoft, the old and new Google, Lyft/Uber, and many other companies.

I worry that many won't read it because it's so long.

Now I need to go look up everything else Tim O'Reilly has written. He is a wise man. I of course know who he is -- mainly through books and conferences I suppose -- but I didn't know about his other experience in business.

It's interesting that in the early days of the web he started a Yahoo-like company before Yahoo and sold it to AOL, and a Windows web server company that competed with Netscape.
Hard to do in a comment, but the real value of containers, etc., is really microservices and micro-environments.
If you dig in, there are dozens of similarities to both the Unix shell kit and the Unix kernel design. The translatable wisdom starts with principles — do one thing well, smaller is better, and hugely, let data be the interface that assembles individual tools into a process / flowchart / blockchain / supply chain / etc ad nauseum. Let those principles guide your design and how your containers envelope the problem. Like I said, hard to explain in a post, but the gist is that “everything old is new again, except I invented it!”
