Why is prolog among the rare few who can keep a secret ?
Ha, how wonderfully cute (can't say I'd have ever thought of doing it). All he needs to do now is turn it into a multistage lens with multiple elements and invent a melt-proof quarter-wave like coating to correct the aberrations. :-)

Apropos the lens museum, I've great difficulty in chucking out lenses that no longer fit any camera that I now own. To me, lenses are precision instruments and its their 'exactness' I don't want to see escape off into a world of higher entropy.

Random SEO tips from a quick look: clean up you heading hierarchy (start with H1, nest H2 - H5 appropriately; right now they're pretty random), add ALT text to all images (the ones with source code could get you more search hits for example), add a meta description and also add HTTPS (very important for security as well).
CapEx and OpEx are different labels for money, thats all.

The only realistic answer is to leave and go somewhere else or start your own thing.

You won’t change the attitude of the company, they won’t bring development back in house - even if you had the best argument in the world the investors would block it.

From the comments it looks like you are desperate to stay, if that is right then you have a choice either accept it for what it is or leave.

The only way you could make genuine changes that you are looking to make is if you were part of the investment crew.

We have all seen this played out time and time again, either there will be no more updates or it will slowly turn to shit - if you stick it out and your name is “mr product” you will be associated with that shit, if the product is good today then run.
Bolt is fugly, underperforms compared to Model 3, the entertainment center is clunky, less safe, requires you to go to a dealer, and lacks a super charging network. GM didn’t even try with the bolt.

This fork aims to replace the C parts with Rust. I didn't read they intend to redesign Emacs itself. Emacs is a programming environment so changing such fundamentals would make it a different editor. There are existing apps and libraries that depend on the way Emacs works now.
Youtube comments...

Ultimately, YT comments are fairly horrible. Apart from an occasionally decent joke or even more occasional comment from the video's subject, youtube comments are either nasty or banal... with a high % of nasty. Racism, nasty politics, sexual harassment, other kinds of harassment... The median top comment is a troll.

Of all the major social media, I can't think of a worse commenting culture.

Banning comments on children sounds like a decent decision from "the suits" to curb the most harmful effects but... where are the product people?

Surely, someone, at some point, has had ideas for how to improve this travesty of a discussion feature. It's not like you're risking much. Even if changes kill commenting entirely...

That I did not know - thank you. We here still think of awk as fundamentally different from other pipeline facilities such as tr, sed, sort, uniq, and so on, but I can see why it could, perhaps should, be though of as being "shell".

I guess I was triggered by the fact that the proposed shell solution is:

* not on a command line (although it could be),

* is significantly longer than the original command line solution, and

* gives a different result.

But you're right, it's shell. I might, however, given my background, and remembering as I do its first introduction, always have trouble thinking of it as such.
Per capita, Developed countries produce a lot more CO2 than Developing and Undeveloped countries.

Given the Developed countries have the money and the means, the best thing from a global CO2 standpoint would be if the Developed countries led the way on reducing their emissions.
Should you not set the price on the value of the content, not the amount content?

If the book enabled you to e.g. create and sell a WebAssembly project quicker or win a big client project that requires WebAssembly then $29 shouldn't be worth thinking about to most developers.

You still can set your page to private if i am not mistaken. And you are also not forced to use facebook in the first place. I understand that its unpleasant and annoying in public, but the assumption that someone elses free speech in a public place affects you personally whether you want it or not doesnt seem necessary true to me.

While not so well worded, i do agree with the broad rational, that in order to restrict free speech in public, some sort decision has to be made about what is allowed and what not. Like it is with everything from laws to social norms. The methods for decision making are broad, from authoritarian, to economical, over technical to consensus based decision making. But they are all methods of decision making. Asking who, or better how that decision is made is a sensible concern.

There are two people needed for a conversation in a public place. You have the ability to leave. You are not forced to listen to anyone. In a private context this is another topic altogether. You can kick someone out of your facebook group, unfriend him or block him. If they then show up at your front door we are talking harassment not free speech. Which is why the loophole of anti abortion protestors being allowed in the streets in front of clinics is such a horrible situation.

I know its annoying to be confronted with stuff you dont like, when your private life takes place in alot of public places, but that is your choice. You dont have to have a public facebook profile, you dont have to have a public youtube channel. And facebook and youtube as a whole dont have to be a public place if they decided otherwise.

Why can't the NLP split the compounds? I think this problem of splitting happens in multiple languages -- the submission mentions German, and then you have Chinese which doesn't have spaces, so you have to split words. (I understand that splitting Japanese into words is simpler.)

That’s not always the case. It depends on the luxury car. I visited a Masarati dealer, and their selling point against a Model S was that the engine was loud. (“You want a car that that sounds like a car. You want to hear that purr and and feel that rumble. You can’t get that with a Tesla.”)

Same thing happens with luxury sports cars. I test drive Ann F-Type, and the damn thing comes a button to make your car louder. The call it “active exhaust” or something. It basically shoots gasoline into the exhaust so the car backfires. It’s basically rolling coal for rich people. The car was so loud, it was hard to have a conversation. I hated it.
that’s simply not true. it depends entirely on what you are watching. i follow a number of artisan channels (blacksmith, for example) and the comments are overwhelmingly positive, and often helpful.

Do you know of anyone combining prolog with integer linear programming? I modelled quite a complex convex optimisation problem as a mixed integer linear programme, but it was very buggy at the beginning to say the least.

I was left wishing that there was a better way to express the logical constraints, which in any case can be converted to integer linear equations, while keeping the linear equations where needed and possible.

You surely seem to know better than me. And I've never parsed FTP output directly, so maybe I shouldn't have come this far in this thread, but what I'm really having difficulty to understand is that; come on, is it really THAT bad? It's just plain text with columns after all.

In my limited understanding, the only parameters that can change is the separator and the number of columns. How hard can it be to establish a straightforward convention? Or why are we being judged so hard, despite the fact that we are advocating to use the protocol in a consistent, straightforward way; just because some people apparently made very bad technical decisions in the past?

In the web you can build a universe if you want. The API surface of it is gigantic compared to FTP. I like to use the simplest technology I can for the purpose at hand. And if the servers I use are outputting straightforward payloads, I don't have to care about what stupid things people did in the past.

I wonder if it’s not that string theory gets its more reasonable results simply by reducing the singularity of a particle in one dimension.

If we look at the idea of a ”point particle”, it’s clearly something that is never observed elsewhere.

This is what leads to the whole idea of renormalization: that any force that goes to infinity as r->0.

For string theory, adding a second dimension to the particle adds density, which avoids the same amount of infinites. Similarly, loop gravity’s ”chunky” timespace also prevents infinites by essentially adding a minimum distance.

I feel both approaches are wrong. The conceptual model of the particle as a dot still lives on in some regard.

With M-theory, string theory moved more to something like the concept of a particle with density in multiple dimensions.

However, the extreme complexity and the many assumptions needed in string theory made it very unappealing to me.

I would like to see some theory that used the wave nature of particles resolve the infinities - including quantum gravity, then describe some mechanism how these waves could gain dual particle-like behaviour when leaving the Planck length world.
"Install AdNauseam 3.7"

3rd party ads are bad for privacy. But browser extensions are even worse. They can see everything you do on any website. They can change what you see. Redirect you. Send data wherever they want. Without you noticing any of this.

Besides, using this thing result in sending even more data to the advertisers.

I can understand the hate about how user hostile the web is. But this is not a solution. A solution would be to use bloated websites less.

On HN, we could downrank pages that send data to 3rd parties like this: Tell the submitter of a page "The page loads sends data to 75 different servers. Please be aware that we will not show it on the front page until it has at least 75 upvotes".

This would make an impact.

Imagine Reddit or Twitter follwing this practice. The web would become better fast.

One pattern that I've used when parsing large json responses is to have a table schema like

frequently|used|data|in|these|cols|full_json_response

So you pull out the fields you need frequently but have the full json so you can dig in to details the response on an adhoc basis. Not very efficient as you can end up storing a big blob of json, but you're not throwing away any data when you parse the response and your schema stays very manageable. Also gives you the flexibility to add new fields to the schema by pulling the data out of the json.
I also agree that other countries are improving their economic situation and increasing consumption there adds up to global warming, not migration.

what regards "no solution" this is so shortsighted that it's even difficult to decide where to start in disagreeing :)

it's easy to say "screw it, let's see what happens" but take this angle: let's say EU will make everything to reduce climate change effects, but other regions not. In event of radical climate change people will start migrating to more safe regions, including EU, so EU will pay partially price for those regions who did not do any effort to reduce climate change. I don't want to pay price for sea level rising just because USA wanted to gain some short-term gains.

also trading your life safety for economic gains sounds ridiculous.

Because prolog requires a different mindset.

When I encountered prolog I tried to understand it, and on the assigment -something about stacking dice having same or different values on the faces, I don't recall it- I managed to write prolog with explicit backtracking. That means that I had several "functions" with different fixed parameters that where the recursion level where they were at, and like a hundred lines of code for this assigment.

TA called us in, trying to understant that, we explained and he showed us the "real" solution, in a handful of lines of code. Then it clicked, I understood it.

Without that moment I would find prolog too alien, and I guess most people do, that's why it isn't more present in the world. It's too different to "actual programming", that is, it's too different from imperative programming. Even haskell and the like are closer to python and the like than prolog. Heck, even lisp can be closer to them.

It's not just learning a new programming language, it's learning a new way to think, not everyone can do that.
> "Who defines "moral"?"

You do. And I do. You define it for you, and I define it for me. You and I are both going to define murder as immoral, and not commit murder. Should one of us define it otherwise, the other will in practice likely be powerless to prevent the outcome.

This is the way the world works. At the end of the day, there is no universal ruleset that all humans will follow like automata; we each get to make our own path. The best we can do is attempt to persuade others to change their moral framework and to gang up with people who agree with us to create systems that inhibit those who disagree with us.

There is no sense moaning about this state of affairs because this is the way it's always been and the way it always will be.

> "By your logic it might become moral to murder"

Something else to keep in mind, is that morality is likely rooted in some limited extent in biology. The basis for this assertion is that across time and cultures, one form or another of law against murder has always been popular in any human civilization you can find evidence for. Even when societies carved out formal exceptions to this rule, such as the legal witch burnings in recent European history, the human sacrifices in more ancient European history, or the human sacrifices seen in Aztec civilization (that had no plausible meaningful cultural exchange with Eurasia for many thousands of years), there still exist laws in some form against murder in general. My point with this likely controversial digression is that it's unlikely that anybody who constructs an argument for the morality of academic copyright infringement will accidentally construct a persuasive argument for casual murder. Even if you use formal logic to find a link between their perspective on copyright to casual murder, that formal argument will be irrationally rejected by nearly everybody, who has an innate predisposition towards rejecting a system of legal casual murder.

tl;dr: reductio ad fortuita occidendum is not a persuasive argument.

" they said that for those who use Prolog in production it is a real competitive advantage that they don't want to announce to the world;"

with due respect to prolog (which is a mindbending language), the proponents of every niche language say the same thing. "it is so powerful that users don't talk about it and that is why you don't hear about it"

I've heard many variants of this with respect to Forth, for example.

The reality is that devs can't stop talking about the languages, tools, and frameworks they use.

The simpler explanation is that next to no one actually uses prolog in productions, because it is, well, a niche language (which doesn't take away from its coolness)

Color me skeptical about "secret weapons".

You're right, though these techniques can be good as a starting step in an image processing pipeline.

But to do OCR you need ML. Not "100 layer DL CNN using the latest arxiv paper" but a shallow learning technique should be enough.

Those techniques could also be useful for identifying the license plate.

Hi Adora,
