It does make the code a little verbose, but in my experience with this (in modern Fortran), it can be rather nice.

Explicitly tagging the construct you are closing makes it easier to understand long swaths of code (where the start of a loop or function may have disappeared off the top of the page by the time you scroll to the end of the loop/function). It can also make compiler error messages more helpful.

I don't see it in the ParaSail code samples, but where this really shines in Fortran is letting you name loops. This makes the control structure much easier to understand (again, especially in longer loops). So you can have code like

loop_timesteps: do
...
loop_converge: do
...
loop_actors: do
...
end do loop_actors
...
end do loop_converge
...
end do loop_timesteps

Now to break out of a loop, you can be explicit about which one you want to break out of. Not only does that help with code clarity, it also allows you to jump out of a deeper nesting than just the immediate one, which means you don't have to set flags, or repeat tests, in order to get to where you want to go.

I realize that most programmers on HN will be thinking "if I had a loop or function that long, I would break it up into smaller functions, and express my nesting that way."

That's generally good advice, but it's not always useful in numerical code (which ParaSail seems to target).

In numerical code, you tend to run through those loops a lot of times, and you tend to have a lot of local variables (for example, in a physics calculation you might take primary variables like pressure, temperature, and mass fractions, and use them to find a lot of related values like humidity ratio and molar concentration and gradient estimates &etc). So the overhead of making large numbers of function calls with long parameter lists can become too much.
It's a bit rich for this to be proposed in a software-centric forum when our industry is merrily rebasing its way to clean linear histories that record the story the author wants to tell rather than what actually happened.

Litecoin Partners with Beam to Implement Mimblewimble Protocol
I liked digg. A lot. Then v2.0 came, and I left to Reddit. A few months ago, I had a script write over all my comments, and deleted the account. Reddit is the new digg v3.0.
I'm still amazed by how ill-conceived everything having to do with that redesign was, including the new design itself, the rollout plan, apparent lack of load testing, and no ability to roll back. Contrast with reddit's redesign, which was rolled out slowly and incrementally.

More recently Snap had a redesign that was received almost as poorly, but at least they executed it competently.

> The fact that the we need to address it doesn't mean we easily can.

The mechanism for dealing with an essential service that, left to private industry with only normal consumer protection regulation, is difficult to prevent becoming a rent-extracting monopoly or oligopoly is well-established—you make the service a utility, either privately owned but publicly regulated for price and service requirements, or publicly owned. This isn't a deep mystery.

Now, most of the people that cry “housing is already oligopolistic and would extract rents defeating any UBI” as an excuse for opposing UBI evidently either don't actually believe that market condition really exists or want to preserve it in the absence of UBI even though it has the same impact on income gains without UBI as they complain it would with UBI, but the mechanism for addressing it is obvious and, if it really exists, essential even in the absence of UBI.
It's not just recovery. Apart from the most basic equipment, the entire exercise industry is bursting at the seams with bullshit. It's not really limited to industry, even; exercise culture embraces all kinds of myths, from traditionalist "everybody knows" prescriptions (with many of those being in conflict) to galaxy-brain contrarianism to "broscience", and you can find products and services that cater to almost all of those myths. It's not shocking that stuff like cupping and cryotherapy thrives in that environment.

Full disclosure, I’m the author of Breezy, https://github.com/jho406/Breezy. An opinionated state shape and PJAX library for Redux.

I think “how you shape your state to make it easy to reduce and share between components” is an important topic that’s taken a backseat when discussing state management tooling.

Should I repeat my backend models? Should I use a redux ORM? How much should I denormalize or normalize?

I found it much easier to just denormalize everything and shape state for presentational purposes, e.g, I have a bunch of page nodes in my redux state each with a duplicated header. If I need to make an update to the header in response to, say, a change in user email, I change each duplicated header individually.

Sounds insane but it really works for me and let’s me keep more business logic in the backend where it belongs.
AMI used legal negotiations to give their blackmail/extortion attempt the veneer of credibility. When you look at it though, it’s definitrly extortion. AMI is saying they will hurt Bezos, if Bezos doesn’t do something to AMI’s benefit. That is quid quo pro right there.

What’s even more strange is that AMI’s lawyer had worked at Amazon for 8 years. You’d think that lawyer would have had some familiarity with Bezos and known not to mess with him, but I guess not.
Actually, in some cases, they do.

reddit has harmed its own community standards immeasurably by steadfastly refusing to rein in its most problematic communities, the_donald being one of them. They've only ever dealt with issues when the chorus of negative PR becomes so much that their hand is forced, as what happened with jailbait, fatpeoplehate, and a few others.

The people attracted to those communities don't just stay in them; they spread out and infect the rest of the site as well with 4chan-style shitposting, trolling, and bigotry.

I'll never understand these people who say that Reddit is a safe harbour for nazis and bla bla bla. I'm a fascist and I've been in tons of subs that were banned, to the point where there's no place left to go, and I've known many people who were banned as well. In the meantime, communists get to enjoy their subs and nothing ever happens to them. (Which is not to say that I think they should be banned, mind you. I wish we all got to keep our subs and accounts...)

Also I don't believe Elliot Rodger ever had a Reddit account.

The importance of DNA data to privacy is often overstated. It's not clear from the article, but for very serious cost reasons, this "DNA data" will include a small panel of genetic markers which are suited for identification.

It is virtually impossible to derive any health information from that data. It may be possible to estimate a person's ethnic background (which sometimes may be a danger in Africa) within reason. The one certain danger to privacy would be around family relationships, which some people may want to keep hidden.

So they really need to make sure they evaluate and communicate the benefits of this kind of data collection. To me it sounds a bit like some private vendors sold them the kitchen sink...

What is the evidence that reddit is taking the 150 million for censorship?

There was a post here that said that reddit was being valued at like $3 billion. Relative to that, 150 million is a tiny amount. Also, Tencent isn't equivalent to the Chinese government. Although the Chinese government certainly has more say in what it's companies can or cannot do, it's not right to say they're the same thing.

They may not have ususlly targeted CEOs before; the other report I've seen recently is from a reporter.

Internet companies have protection under the law that they can't be held liable for what their users say. IMHO that protection brings with it a duty to allow people to speak freely on their platform.

For the past few months, my co-founder and I have been working on our side project, Threadbase, which allows non-developers to make their own Hacker News, Product Hunt, or any Reddit-style community (e.g upvotes with threaded comments) in minutes without writing any code.

We came up with the idea after building our own upvote communities and friends of ours asked if they could make a similar community without the need to program. We thought this could be an interesting technical project to figure out. Plus, since people were asking for it, we already had our alpha group.

We started the project using Rails for the front and backend, but eventually moved the majority of the SaaS elements (e.g. a dashboard to make changes/manage users, modifying the look of a community with a theme, etc.) to React and used Rails as our backend because this provided a much better user experience.

Our most recent challenge was figuring out how to implement the #1 product request from our customers: communities on a custom domain. Originally, we began the project on AWS, but after looking around, we found that Heroku provided a much easier custom domain implementation process for the end user. So, we migrated the entire project from AWS to Heroku, and now, if you add a custom domain to your community, we just give you the auto-generated heroku dns link and community owners can paste that in their CNAME or Alias to finish the setup. This is much easier than the path we almost went down with AWS.

My co-founder and I are now making a small amount of MRR from our paid tiers, but the learning experience has been really enjoyable.

A few things you can do on Threadbase:
- Make a community in just a few clicks without writing any code (e.g. support.threadbase.io)
- Customize the look and feel with pre-built themes. We named the first three communities--Cleveland, San Francisco,and Brooklyn--after the cities that were important to our stories.
- Drop in your own Google Analytics ID to get data on your community.
- If you'd like to further customize the color of your community, turn off ads, or put your own Google AdSense pixel in to make money from your community, you can sign up for our Basic tier.
- If you want to create a private community (i.e require registration) or add your own custom domain, you can upgrade to Plus.
Looking back over thirty years, and picking out the projects where I think I've done the best work for the greatest lengths of time, the common characteristics seem to be a quiet working environment, a high level of confidence and trust among the people working together (together with a level of competence that justifies it), clearly-communicated objectives, and substantial freedom to choose how to achieve those objectives.

I saw good situations in a couple of large companies, but also in some small startups. Private offices or common offices for small teams (2-4 people) with sound barriers to keep things quiet were the best physical environments. My experience with remote work has been uniformly good.

The best psychological environments were ones in which teams developed confidence and trust in each others' capabilities and judgments, and in which leadership was trusted both to make reasonable strategic decisions, and to treat people fairly.

I've also seen a variety of bad situations. Major contributors to loss of productivity include excessive noise and distraction in the workplace, too many interruptions, oppressive micromanagement, loss of trust and confidence among colleagues or in leadership, too much or too little process, anxiety over the solvency of the company, infighting and factionalism, sudden, frequent changes in product objectives and business strategies, loss of leaders' credibility, and sketchy business practices. All of these things impair productivity.
I would say that deterrence is a valid goal. Imagine tax fraud. If the revenue office estimates that approximately 10% of tax fraud is caught, then the penalty for tax fraud should be at least 10x the amount of the fraud. Anything less than that makes it +EV to cheat. (Obviously, it's not perfect and relies on estimations, but I do think that mathematically sound deterrence is desirable.)

This of course is still proportional to the fraud (and the societal damage), not to the overall revenues or profits of the taxpayer in question.

Well, this system would decrease the risk of identity theft because you can't get an ID issued without getting scanned/examined.

It would be a bit stupid to base an identification system, like that of a bank or credit card or whatever, on earlobe shape or Iris alone. But in combination with other factors it might be quite secure.

I think Earlobe shape can be used for identification in video footage. Iris scans only if you have a really good camera and a lot of luck. Otherwise it's really hard.

Competition in a space is actually usually a good sign, and might help validate the product is worth making. However, if you are a me to product, there is generally little value in that, you still need something original or unique to catch market share. So in that case, I'd validate that the unique concept is something people want to pay for, and if so then build away. Disrupting an existing market is far easier than creating a new one in a lot of ways. Primarily the market is already educated on the need and understands it. When you have to educate a market to the need the costs go up dramatically.
I have more than 400 days of playtime (the actual time logged into the game) in World of Warcraft, mostly between being 15 and 22 and I don't regret a single second of it.

Most people not familiar with gaming don't understand that, but I have very fond memories, found friends I'm still in contact with and even achieved a level of competitiveness I'm still proud of today and mention it in my full CV (Arena #1 and Top3 world raiding guild for whose curious). And that for ~12€ a month in a time where I and my family had little money.

I still went out two to three times a week to do sports and occasionally met with friends apart from sports, but my fondest memories are about the time spent in this other world with a big circle of friends and a place in my guild, where I was appreciated.

My fondest memories about my earlier childhood are not only vacations or building wooden airplanes with my dad, but also beating Zelda Ocarina of Times.

Most people I met outside of IT and gaming don't understand that and even think it's sad. But I'm just glad I grew up in the time I did and had this amazing opportunity games and online gaming gave us.

If the RMB free floated on the market, it wouldn’t matter how fast they were running the printer since supply and demand would do its thing.

However, if the RMB is overvalued (meaning they say it is worth more than it is actually), then capital controls are very necessary. If the RMB was undervalued, then you would need more controls in the opposite direction (for money coming in) to prevent arbitrage.

Right now the RMB is overvalued, but not by much. Maybe it should be 7 or 7.5 RMB/dollar.
