Missing on investments you don’t understand is not strike against Buffett, that’s just good investing. A good investor is going to own only a few shocks at a time. What you buy is far more important than what you miss.

IBM is probably Buffetts biggest mistake of the last decade or so, and he made money on it. He bought shares at $173, sold them for between $150 and $170, but also made close to $30 a share in dividends.

Nice whataboutism you got there.
Everything you say is true. CL via a REPL really does make you feel like there is no barrier between your code and your brain.

With regard to programming in CL, yes, if you cause a stacktrace in your code, you can easily debug and fix it on the fly. But most of the problems (atleast with me) could have been caught with a static type checker in the first place.

I just feel like my brain is stupid, imperfect, and error prone. I want and need something that can offload a lot of thinking to the computer.

It’s not like static typing and the immediate feedback CL has are mutually exclusive. With the right language you could definately have both.

Like imagine a CL with static typing (a hindley milner system), would it be worse or better?

I would say it must be objectively better:

What do you think? (You’ve made some good and reasonable points, so I would genuinely be interested in your opinion)
I'm currently developing a web app with a Haskell backend and a ReasonML (OCaml with a different syntax) frontend. I'd been interested in ReasonML for a while and so far it's been a great experience, but overall I wouldn't say I prefer it to Haskell. I've been using Haskell for many years and so the simplicity advantage isn't there for me. I also miss strongly some of the major Haskell conveniences like generic programming, type class derivation, higher kinded types, and yes Monads. I'm not a huge fan of the OCaml record system as it frequently gets confused and requires type annotations. In fact I've generally found OCaml to be substantially worse at type inference than Haskell, requiring frequent type annotations and cluttering up the code. Haskell's learning curve is steeper, but it is simpler in some ways, especially once you're familiar.

I think where ReasonML/OCaml wins hands-down is its compiler. Bucklescript (and I've heard similar things about other compilers, but can't vouch for it) is lightning quick, and the community has gone leaps and bounds to make it super easy to bootstrap (including with create-react-app). GHC can do amazing things but it's not the fastest out there, and the compiler for the JS backend is abysmally slow. The code Bucklescript produces is very high quality and performant. The library ecosystem is reasonably strong and I expect (but haven't done much testing) that because of the strictness and relative simplicity of the language, library code would tend to be pretty performant and easy to use. I've never found myself in OCaml wondering what string type I should use, or attempting to parse some absurdly complex type hierarchy in a library.

I think for a frontend project, to most programmers I would recommend ReasonML. For one thing, I think even most without experience with FP would find ReasonML to be a giant improvement over Flow (which infuriates me as a type checker), and it doesn't take a ton of time to learn. ReasonReact is a pretty sweet library and I prefer it to React even setting aside language choice. Compared to Haskell, its strictness means it doesn't require a special runtime, generate slow/impenetrable code, or hog tons of resources -- all things that are issues in frontend Haskell. For those who really want to use Haskell on the frontend I'd recommend PureScript instead (also you get the bonus of a kickass record system).

For backend, I think OCaml will get you up and running sooner, but in the long run you're going to find yourself missing the type system and language features Haskell has. GHC's speed on the backend is tolerable (especially if you use nix), and I think Haskell is competitive in performance to OCaml (perhaps better with optimization). Most importantly, I think Haskell is second to none when it comes to correct implementations of business types and logic, creating powerful and reliable abstractions, and eliminating boilerplate, and I think that forms a greater advantage in backend code.

This could be a big deal for enabling wind energy extraction far from electric power distribution networks. Access to these networks can be prohibitively expensive to construct, and transmission losses make outlying generators uncompetitive.

Farms have direct uses for locally produced ammonia, both as fertilizer and as fuel, and plenty of room for wind turbines. Any excess production has a ready market in nearby farms.

The excess oxygen produced would be useful dissolved into water to make concentrated hydrogen peroxide, also useful.
Im betting it has a lot to do with construction costs, especially with chairs. Chairs are very expensive and difficult piece of work with tons of pieces that need to take serious abuse, more legs means more pieces. Also if you have even the smallest imperfection in angles or squareness on a 4 legged piece of furniture it is immediately obvious. Joinery is what takes the most man hours, so hose stools for example have 24 mortises each, add another leg and you got 32 mortises, and a more expensive piece with more points of failure.

Another thing to consider, the floor. How flat would most floors be at the time? 4 legged chairs would almost always be rocking on 3 legs, causing them to fail and break more often. Shimming a short leg only works if it doesn't move or if the floor is almost perfectly flat.
I'm not sold on the "unequal" pay issue they cite, at least not in most Western Nations.

Because you should write what you mean, not just assume the compiler will convert what you wrote into what you mean.

i++

means

var temp = i;
i = i + 1;
return temp;

where as

++i

means

i = i + 1
return i;

So if you actually mean to create a temp then use i++ , if you don't use ++i

See example of actually implementing them

> Yes there are many unethical physicians, but majority of physicians still are hard-workers and know way better than you.

The majority of physicians do not prescribe this drug, and even the ones who do prescribe it do not recommend that patients try to obtain it online and self-medicate.

You twisted my meaning into an attack on physicians, which it certainly was not. It was a rejection of a fallacious appeal to authority.

The fact that some physicians recommend something is simply not convincing. It's not hard to find a small number of physicians who would recommend homeopathy either, nor is it hard to find a small number of scientists who reject climate science. A consensus among physicians (or scientists) is what makes an appeal to authority reasonable.

To change it from 8, you need the `tab-size` CSS property. This has long been supported by all except IE/Edge.

This can be very neat for responsive design: use tabs for your indentation, and then on large screens use `tab-size: 4` because you’ve got space to spare and four is generally superior to two, and on narrow screens use `tab-size: 2` because you don’t have as much width to play with.
I left one software company, in part because they developed apps for pubs and restaurants, and most of the other employees came from a hospitality background and wanted to get wasted each Friday night. That I wanted to a) spend time with my daughter (on alternating weeks) or b) just go home and chill out alone was not acceptable, and my disinterest in the partying culture lead to many cold shoulders at work also. Much younger me had not even considered asking about the 'after-work' culture when interviewing; lesson learned!
One way that a takehome can align well with a business is when it selects for people who are relatively strong at "introvert" activities.

Some of our work requires high-bandwidth face-to-face collaboration, with ideas and decisions needed immediately, but a lot of our work is a natural fit for being able to go off and think through a problem by oneself (for perhaps the bulk of it; there's still interaction).

A takehome seems to favor someone good at the think-through part. (Although a takehome doesn't fully exercise someone strong at this bulk part who also has a sense of when to, say, bounce it off someone else, or ask more questions, or get feedback at that point, or call in an intense group brainstorming.)

(Of course, some people can do, say, pair-programming all day, and it energizes them, and that's great. Others, who we might roughly label "introverts", would find all-day pair programming taxing, or distracting with social awarenesses, or have a sense at times that they'd be better off thinking at their own pace or in their own directions. Both kinds have merits, and probably the organization wants some of both. My experience is that a mix of them works on a team, even with some near the extremes, though the most extreme pair types presumably need a mate to function.)
I worked a little bit with OpenStack about four years ago, and my impression was that it was very design by committee. Design by committee doesn't work too well in software: https://sourcemaking.com/antipatterns/design-by-committee

I think a lot of the enterprise companies supporting OpenStack, like Mirantis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirantis), realized this one way or another, got themselves acquired, and then used the new funding to pivot to Kubernetes or another open-source IaaS offering: https://www.mirantis.com/

Without any promise of enterprise support, there's really no way for the large companies targeted by OpenStack to adopt it and make that adoption sticky. So that's how it died.
I’m not proud of it. I was as shocked by the effect at that time.

So, far be it from me to proclaim the purity of our governance.

The normal case is that parasites cause serious problems and are permanent. Take hookworm, which causes anemia in whites and was responsible for the stereotype of the poor Southern white being pale and lazy. There is no reason to expect a parasitic infection to "run its course".

Particular parasites may be largely harmless due to context; I believe a tapeworm won't do much to you other than causing you to stay thin while eating large quantities of food. This was more dangerous when people enjoyed less of a food surplus than we do now. Of course, the tapeworm will also transmit tapeworms to everyone in contact with you.
My reading of the post is that the Hash({a, b}) is infact computed as Hash'(a) + Hash'(b) given that a and b are "rows". And thus my question is why Hash' has to have any special properties.

Having switched from the Windows ecosystem to Linux a while back, I have a few comments:

I don’t know how bug-free VS is now, but VS 2005 and 2008 were buggy in problematic ways. Support was friendly, but the bugs didn’t get fixed quickly. IntelliType (for C++) was nifty bug extremely buggy. Switching to emacs was a major step back in usability, but it was enormously faster and it tended to just work.

C# has a top notch compiler. Sadly, MS’s C++ compiler was, and mostly still is, pretty bad.

Getting off of Windows was a big win. Managing a Linux machine is much nicer, and, when something doesn’t work, you have a better chance of figuring out why.

I have no experience with SQL Server. MySQL and PostgreSQL both sucked back then.

Has anyone come forward with /any/ hard evidence that implicates huawei spying on their customers? This is my biggest gripe in this whole mess. The fact that no evidence has surfaced yet, despite how easily obtainable it would be for govs, indicates to me that that these accusations are motivated by geopolitics and have little to do with whether huawei customers are being spied upon or not.

As for disingenuity, I think that hurtling accusations at people without any sort of supporting evidence is what's disgustingly disingenuous.

On one hand, it’s a very high price. On the other hand, no one is entitled to a one bedroom unit in the heart of one of the human epicenters in the world. Many people here have roommates or alternate living arrangements.

There are several reasons why the prices have gotten so high (lack of supply, politics, etc).

But don’t expect to move your Texas ranch or Midwestern single-family-house lifestyle to SF with no compromises.

But in return for your compromises, you will get quite a bit in return.

Is it worth it? That’s a very personal decision. For many, it’s not. For many, it is.
For those who live in SF - what's the cost of a one bedroom rent 1 hour from most jobs in SF? I know in NYC you can reliably get that for around 1500.

> what’s important is not just legal status but how regulations affect workers’ ability to control their working conditions.

They always take some of that ability, which is why government centralization and the formation of large states are always bad.
