This was good to read!

"FWIW if you're interested I'd also like to mention the huge impact OCaml
had on the design of .NET generics and C# 2.0, which I've never properly
described on this list. It was seeing and experiencing polymorphic
programming in OCaml and SML that made us persevere with the long and
torturous process of convincing Microsoft that they should add such an
"experimental and academic" feature as generics to their flagship
runtime and languages. Of course we were in reality just making 1970s
ideas work in practice, but at least now even Visual Basic has generics."
strictness by default, and a slightly more pragmatic way of life. Haskell quickly goes into categorical like composition (Traversable . Lens . Foldable). I think for the average population this is too quick. Ocaml feels like solid battle tested fast typescript (pardon the caricature :).
ESM had no implementation, and there where already a unofficial standard. Why did ESM land in ES2015 ? Three years later it still got issues and implementation is experimental at best.
I think it’s because FOMO is rampant in tech and HN is the most relevant source for it. It offers the best of all the technology, programming and science subreddits combined with high quality news outlets, and it does so with better moderation.

The thing about Facebook, Reddit and other social media’s is that they aren’t all that interesting. You can only look at so many videos of cats before it gets boring, well maybe not cats, but I think you get my meaning. I think we get used to the SoMe news feed, and unless it does something that is actually relevant, it grows stale.

HN does something relevant, or at least something that feels relevant. I’m not sure it’s really build to be less addictive, because adrenaline is a hell of a drug, but it may not be intentionally addictive.

I see a lot of the same on LinkedIn, which is really, really popular among managers. Or twitter and journalists. FOMO is just an amazing way to keep users coming back, even if it isn’t necessarily a positive experience.
You know, "billions a day" is only on the order of 10K per second. A single machine can handle that.
>Operators will have some Huawei stuff but I don't known anyone (outside of China) that has built their network on them so ripping that out is a non-issue. Some have already done just that.

I assume there is a missing word built their network soley on them. Vodafone, Three, are two big Operators that has some Huawei deployed in EU. It is rare that any Operator relies on one single Telecom Equipment Vendor. Even China Mobile have both Nokia and Ericsson, as it was part of the deal between EU and China.

>No serious operator is doing a software upgrade for this.

They were deployed as part of the Capacity expansion in 4G LTE Massive MIMO. This is strictly Sub 6Ghz, all those mmWave are totally different thing. May be deployed isn't the "correct" word. Widely tested, especially in places where an Operator uses TDD spectrum.

>I have no idea why Samsung even get a mention. That confused me.

Samsung is a relatively new comer to telecom equipment. New in terms of Public knowledge, they were doing it during LTE era but never seems to get anywhere internationally. They are even smaller than ZTE, which is one reason you don't seen any TE market share dictate any special note on them. But they have been active on 5G ever since the possibility of Huawei Contract replacement. I have no information on how they perform in real life though. And I have yet to see any Operators had testing notes using Samsung's Equipment. But knowing how competitive they are, I was hoping they would do well.
I think what's much more interesting is that the only approved vendor is Amazon.
I think this is what is called hyperbole.
Great point and I’m afraid you are correct.

I’ve been trying to evangelize non tech friends/family about privacy in general and the reactions are not great.
had no idea they resisted Generics.. I thought Java 5 was the main reason C# got them.
The article notes this:

> Part of the problem, according to critics, is too much money now chases the same trends, undermining what traders call "alpha" — the outperformance possible relative to a benchmark.
World isn't perfect for sure but it is indeed eye-opening to sometimes check how much worse things were as recently as 70s and 80s. Helps to put today's issues into perspective, and be a bit more content.
That’s a false dilemma; as long as I’m not resigned to hopeless infotainment addiction, I don’t have to believe the “least bad” reporting about events that don’t concern me.
Right now they do.
So it’s certified by the BSI for that use case but people complain about it? If that’s a problem they should fix the certification not just complain because there’s no suitable “german” vendor.

They even mention it’s encrypted (hopefully on the client end) so it wouldn’t even matter where you put it.
That is the very definition of trickle down economics.

Spoilers: it's been thoroughly debunked. It factually does not work.

No, that does not become the question. They chose money over morals, that's it.

It's not like they are helpless victims to economic principles, so they have no other choice than to work for the scummiest types of companies because they offer good pay.
> One of us is making incorrect assumptions about user behaviour and privacy wishes. I hope it’s me.

I heard a lot about people's privacy. Most non-tech people I talk with see Google as a faceless evil corporation that wants to control humanity.

But, they use Facebook, and browse the web while logged in in GMail, Facebook, etc. instead of opening a private tab.

That is the problem with lack of knowledge. People don't trust big corporations, sometimes to irrational extends. But, they do not understand how the technology really works.

If we want behaviour and concern to be one consequence of the other, we need better education and more government action.
I don't think that's right.

CTAs have been around since the 1970s. Momentum trading has been around basically forever.

The Fed under Paul Volcker raised rates over 20% in the early 80s to head off inflation. Before the crisis of 2008 rates were 5% or so. It's only after the GFC that rates have been lowered to near zero.

Also, according to the article momentum trading failed to deliver after 2008, while rates were low (and the market tripled), not just now.
If this is yours, I recommend adopting some sort of inverse relationship between file size and retention time. 0x0 does this and I think it makes a lot of sense: https://0x0.st/

retention = min_age + (-max_age + min_age) * pow((file_size / max_size - 1), 3)

Yeah, I was in High School around 2008. Facebook was already a thing, as was obsession over followers. Smart phones had been around for a bit, many kids had them and had their phonest as had Twitter and a few other things.

Middle school just kinda sucks. It was easily the worst period of my life, and I don't think that's a rarity in America.

The root reason why those schools get more funding is not because the kids are white. It's because the kids' parents are rich.

There are valid historical reasons to explain why there is a correlation between wealth, ethnicity and gender but the causality is not there anymore. My point is that a poor white kid will be just as disadvantaged today as an equally poor kid of any other race.
Of particular note: the current NIST standard actively recommends against every single one of the requirements listed in the OP, with the exception of username derivatives and previous passwords.

They've probably been working for 10 years without needing to write a sort algorithm by hand since it's built into every language these days, and get annoyed at having to re-learn it just for an interview.

Why does this article call them CTAs? Being a "commodity trading adviser" is a CFTC regulatory status, not a trading strategy. Those issues are orthogonal. One would have expected them to be referred to as algorithmic traders or algos or something.

I guess the same applies to all repetitions. I thought reading repetitively was different.
I work in energy, and there's a big debate raging now about the externalities of fossil fuels. People working for the fossil industry make substantial salaries because their industry is not adequately taxed for the externalities their products are causing. If the fossil industries were properly taxed for externalities, my guess would be that salaries would be significantly affected.

Perhaps we should consider fintech and adtech to be similar scenarios? Fintech seems to have externalities that lead to ever growing income inequality. Adtech definitely has externalities on society in the form of increased susceptibility to foreign propaganda and mass surveillance.

I suspect the higher salaries in fintech and adtech are similarly inflated to fossil industry salaries due to the lack of taxing externalities.

One would expect a massive underestimate. If a spy does well, the victim will be completely unaware.
The problem in that solution is the "we" part. There is no global authority to take the responsibility or initiative, and nobody who wants to front the cost.

It's so stupid that we have the technology and knowledge to save our species and civilisation but our imaginary number system won't let us.
You mean using ReasonReact without JSX in OCaml is a pain?

Sure, you can stop there, if your interest is in moral judgement.

If you’re more interested in shifting the landscape, changing the incentives becomes the priority.

Only one of these puts a stop to the objectionable behavior and wasted talent. So I know which I prefer.

People said the exact same thing in the 1990s, too. "Enterprise"-managed projects, using tech stacks like Win32 or Java, have generally tended to produce large, unwieldly monoliths.

I don't agree with that definition of "effectively axiomatized". Granted, that's what Wikipedia says here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del%27s_incompleteness_... But the reference given doesn't check out. Franzén's 2005 book Gödel's Theorem doesn't say anything about effective axiomatization on page 112. He does however give the following definition in his lecture notes at: https://books.google.de/books?id=Wr51DwAAQBAJ&pg=PA138#v=one...

"If T is effectively axiomatized, in the sense that there is an algorithm for deciding whether or not a given sentence is an axiom of T,..."

In Computability: Turing, Gödel, Church and Beyond Martin Davis even makes the definition "T is axiomatizable if it has an axiom set that is computable" on page 42.

And that's also the definition Shoenfield gives on page 125 of Mathematical Logic.

Besides, "effective" has always been a synonym for "computable", "recursive", or "decidable" whenever I've encountered it in this context.

Also, I must insist that "it makes no difference whether we require the axioms to be recursively enumerable, recursive, or primitive recursive." is not what Craig's Theorem says. This is dangerously close to claiming that recursively enumerable sets are recursive which is plainly untrue. If recursively enumerable axioms (not just recursively enumerable theorems) are indeed interchangeable with recursive axioms, then I'd like to hear more about that.
So? Are you going to take some Bridge player's word over the medical consensus?

This might be due to my limited experience in Germany but this seems to be the norm. Competition is not that fierce and customers have few or no options. I don't know if it's due to rigid regulations or business owners know customers don't have many options.

Sorry, the developer experience in OCaml is almost unsurpassed. Nearly everything is perfect in that area, the only thing I miss are a couple of features (for example, native compiler support for all stdint.h exact width types).

This doesn’t inspire confidence in the rest of the piece.

The title doesn't inspire confidence in the rest of the piece. Why is it that increasingly, people feel compelled to put such a negative spin on content. Another "if you don't do <something I feel strongly about>, you are <something negative>" piece. If what you are writing needs some clickbaity title, I'm not interested.

I have not heard of peppering before, and if the author would have titled something along the lines of "peppering significantly improves the security of your stored passwords" I would have been all over it. Now the author has already called me "irresponsible", and he doesn't even know me. Well, fuck that guy, I'll find somewhere else to read about what specific seasoning I should be applying to stored passwords. What an ass.

EDIT He just changed the title.

Case in point from my own recent work: I've been analysing characteristics of Google+ Communities, mostly looking for plausibly active good-faith instances.

There are 8.1 million communities in total, and thanks to some friendly assistance, I'd identified slihtly more than 100,000 with both 100 or more members, and visible activity within the preceeding 31 days, as of early 2019.

The task of Web scraping those 100k communities, parsing HTML to a set of characteristics of interest, and reducing that to a delimited dataset of about 16 MB, was all done via shell tools, and on very modest equipment.

Most surprising was that parsing the HTML (using the HTML-XML utilities: http://www.w3.org/Tools/HTML-XML-utils/README) took longer than downloading the data.

Creating the datafile was done with gawk, and most analysis subsequently in R, though quick-and-dirty summaries and queries can be run in gawk.

Performance: downloading (curl): 16 hours, parsing (hxextract & hxselect) 48 hours, dataset preparation (gawk): 2 minutes, analysis (gawk / R), a few seconds for simple outputs.

The parsing step is painfully long, the rest quite tractable.

What’s the 1.5% SF tax here ? Never heard of it. Isn’t SSN and Medicare only apply to 100k of income ? Also, you have deductions for mortgage, state taxes, property taxes that lower your tax liability quite a bit. I would be surprised if anyone paid more than 30% effective tax rate on their income
I wholeheartedly agree with this article, and I firmly believe that if no one paid attention to flat earthers, for example, it wouldn't have become such a big matter.

It's mind-boggling to me that there's people on YT/social media going out of their way to prove to flat earthers that the earth is not flat. We have 600 years of science proving that, and they don't believe that, do you think that your little experiment will change their mind?
Also, what's the point? It's not like if there's enough people that think the earth is flat, NASA will shut down or anything.

It's commendable trying to educate people but in these cases it's definitely not worth the hassle, and I really hope people start realising that and stop entertaining all the crazy ideas that random strangers have around the world.

As a programmer with 20+ years of experience with various non-functional languages I have been trying to understand monads, and the main problem has always been that most of the explanations are similar long-winded diatribes making things even more complicated by using terminology that needs further explaining (rarely given) itself.

After many such articles, my main -- very generalised, I'm aware -- conclusion is that monad is basically a programming construct that a) contains some data and b) has some associated operations to be performed on that data.

Basically, a monad is an object.
> how often does that come up?

It's an important point to remember that a lot of things involved in human society have not exploded in size or complexity in the last 30 years.

Many data sets are basically proportional to the human population (health records, criminal records, property records etc), and these have been measured in the millions for 30+ years. In the same time the compute power of a single script has moved from the millions into the billions.

It's important, because if a government needs to, say, calculate something involving "every building in the country", or "everybody with a criminal record" they need to understand that this task, in 2019, can in fact be done by a single programmer parsing flat text files on their MBP, and does not need a new department.

If you trust it blindly, it’s not science, it’s a cult of title and rank.

Unfortunately, trusting it blindly is also necessary when you’re not active in the field. Even worse, nobody can spend enough time to be active in all fields.

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. I've lost days to debugging issues introduced to modules in deep transitive dependency chains. It wouldn't be so bad if package maintainers respected semver or those upstream took care to lock their dependencies to a specific version. In practice neither happens.
Sampling or subetting your data is almost always the correct response, especially for analysis.

If you're literally processing TB or PB of data, you'll want to parallelise. Though shell tools do this amazingly well.
A few responses. AA is not the only game in town as there is reformers unanimous. AA strings you along with your addiction while reformers unanimous results it forever. All of this begins with a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

It's important to say that the way of drinking is probably everything. No shots, avoiding sugary mixers, avoiding beer if possible (at least the cheaper ones), never mixing different alcohols (even the same type, but of different brands).

The worse you feel the next day after alcohol means the more significant damage you did to your body. If you feel fresh, it says that the damage was almost non-existent (besides liver, which, if you drink a lot of alcohol you should take care separately). Then drinking a lot of water before going to bed will help your body to clean from alcohol.

It's all about alcohol-drinking culture. In some countries drinking alcohol 2-4 times a week is normal (as long as you don't drink to get wasted). But I have seen places (for example Ireland), where drinking to get wasted is an ultimate goal 2-4 times a week. That's the problem imo. Better education and public awareness would help a lot.
