Except that they're not the same. Static typing restricts you to a set of statements that can be verified by the type checker. This is a subset of all valid statements, otherwise you could just type check code in any language at compile time.

Static typing makes many dynamic patterns either difficult or impossible to use. For example, Ring middleware becomes pretty much impossible in a static language https://github.com/ring-clojure/ring/wiki/Middleware-Pattern...

The pattern here is that the request and response are expressed as maps. The request map is passed through a set of middleware functions, and each one can modify this map in some way.

A dynamic language makes it possible to write middleware libraries that know absolutely nothing about each other, and compose seamlessly. A static language would require you to provide a full description of every possible permutation of the request map, and every library would have to conform to it. This creates coupling because any time a library needs to create a new key that only it cares about, the global spec needs to be modified to support it.

My experience is that immutability plays a far bigger role than types in addressing the problem of maintainability. Immutability as the default makes it natural to structure applications using independent components. This indirectly helps with the problem of tracking types in large applications as well. You don't need to track types across your entire application, and you're able to do local reasoning within the scope of each component. Meanwhile, you make bigger components by composing smaller ones together, and you only need to know the types at the level of composition which is the public API for the components.
This is interesting, but I think there's an implicit assumption here that a particular topic must be covered in depth, at which point its study is completed, not to be returned to.

And indeed, this is way many textbooks are structured. But I see no reason for this to be the case. If topics are covered lightly via an exposition and then subsequently drilled into in depth, the order, and resulting motivation becomes almost a side note.

I say this as I'm currently studying linear algebra via Coursera, and the resource that has become most valuable to me is a Scapple board with a bunch of screenshots, text and arrows. It is this (non-linear) diagram that I return to most often to help internalize and solidify my learning.

In this regard, the order of exposition becomes almost incidental.

+1 here.

For at least the past 5 years, I've been questioning the value of IEEE regular membership very hard. Marketing internally spams the Gmail inboxes paid for by dues; Spectrum is nothing more than a front for advertisements while members don't even have ad-free web access to its content; Xplore is a minimum $20/mo limited to an insulting 3 papers; standards are outrageously overpriced even with supposed "member discount". The only thing that has kept me around this long is an apparent misguided belief that the IEEE is the flagship organization catering to the interests of professional EEs, and I'm an EE, therefore I should retain membership. This will be my 10th year of membership...mostly on the campaign promises of Jose Moura[1] of CMU--who I voted for back in 2017 and is now President. I'm really hoping things do indeed change.

I also hold lifetime membership with the ACM. Cost ~$4,000 out of pocket, but that buys indefinite access to digital library content. Sure, I could have Sci-Hub'd their papers, but I also recognize that the organization needs to be funded somehow, and their asking price for perceived value was within my budget. IEEE doesn't even have such an option, nor does its Computer Society.

This criticism of SDOs[2] is definitely relevant to the meta of those professional organizations who merely claim to support the interests of its members.

If they do not care about the well being of their employees, do you trust them with your data and in this case money?
Our computers (meaning the whole of software and hardware) are extremely primitive, their culture soaked in insanity and in general they are perfectly hateable. It's not my choice to have a temper tantrum about it because they were already shitty when I got here. But what's on my mind isn't how hateable computers are; it's how loveable something shitty can be as long as it's shinier and bigger than last year.

In the context of that, I'm fine with youtube's rule, but we were already off on a tangent in the meta discussion and that is clearly not the context of this particular discussion.

Go up two levels if you don't believe me.

We actually already have laws here in the US about signing up people under the age of 13 for online services and have since the 90s. They're very lax and not enforced.

A very large measure that YouTube could take is to hide all comments if you aren't signed in and strictly enforce the over 13 rule in the US (or whatever other rules elsewhere). But they don't do that.

Not so much the case on LibriVox. Accents, age and levels of voice professionalism vary greatly.
The tabs especially looks like a terrible idea. Something that had more than enough space on every screen has now become a huge, long list of options that you have to scan every time to find the one you want.

Removal of icons also plays into that since they were the visual hooks you could use to navigate after a little while of usage.

Then the final redesign, I’m not sure there’s anything to say about it other than that I strongly dislike it. Services like github change their image at their peril, and I just don’t think that is worth it.
The calculator only let's you set "miles driven/year" and the price of gas. Not mpg of current vehicle. So the results are the same regardless of whether I'm driving a Prius that gets 60mpg or an Abrams tank that gets 0.6 mpg. On top of that, the results will be even more meaningless if you currently own an electric car.
You get rebate from your state not Tesla.
> Do we really think that Amazon doesn't have the talent and ability to tweak their models and do A/B testing to see what provides the highest return?

A/B testing a bad model does nothing. I'm sure Amazon's recommendations are the "best they've got" given their tech. Which sucks.

Google runs a massive recommendation system at scale: their ad placement product (in Search and elsewhere). Google's recommendation tech is astoundingly better than the equivalent at Amazon, rapidly putting the most profitable ads in front of the best potential customers.

That said, Google will never release their ad tech recommendation system "as a service", since it would kill their golden goose. That whole part of their company is a black hole of information.

> You're not making games, you're selling entertainment. Focus on the latter first, and optimize accordingly.

I agree with that. And yet, Minecraft is possibly the worst example:

- It's an exception to the general wisdom that games do have to worry about performance in order to deliver fun. Just because Minecraft became popular despite it's abysmal performance, doesn't mean games can get away with that in general.

- Notch never expected Minecraft to become that popular. In a sense, Minecraft was an accident.

- Minecraft's performance was so bad, a lot of people had to install a mod called OptiFine just to be able to play it on their hardware.
Definitely states the right problems, but not the right solutions.

The commits box is also bigger than the files box, which doesn't make much sense. Whether a commit box even should be there is a big question. How useful is commits to the average developer browsing a repo? I think a bit useful, but not useful enough to have 1/3 of the screen width.

Stats of a repo is pretty nice, because it gives an overview of how active it is, etc. But the problem is that majority of GitHub repos are empty and not that active, so it'll make most of the repos look like ghost towns. Not something you'd want on your site.

Moving all git tabs into the GitHub tabs makes it even harder to use the UI. You have to spend way too much mental load just to find the right tab to click on. It looks better, but will be harder to use.

The "Watch" button, moving description and tags is an improvement, and I'm for a redesign of some sort.
They can take online payment from a bank account (such as after you’ve deposited a check from an auto loan) or they can take a physical bank draft (such as you would get from an auto loan) upon delivery. They drive the car to you either on a truck or on its own wheels, you do some paperwork, and 15 minutes later the delivery driver either hops in a Lyft or gets back in the semi truck.

I’m sure credit card would work too if you had a high enough limit but those are the other options.

Can somebody give some additional perspective on this? I'm flabbergasted by how snobbish and shallow this post appears to be - but perhaps I just can't picture what kind of clothing a person has to wear to deserve such treatment?

*Disclaimer: I have no experience with silicon valley.
Dunno. I hate test drives, WAY too short to really learn much beyond a general idea of performance and how comfortable the seats are.

Buying a new car for $$$ (I keep them for at least 10 years, currently 14) is a pretty big commitment for a 10-20 minute test drive.

Imagine getting married after a 20 minute date.

I rented a model S for 2 days, I was still learning things about it when I returned it.
Why would someone post this other than to gather feedback? Yes, this redesign idea upsets me. However, that doesn't make the points I raise (from the point of view of a daily GitHub user! and one that uses it professionally!) any less valid.

Personal experience. Tesla owners tend to be so stoked on their cars that they want to share the experience. Seriously. I've seen multiple requests and offers on Tesla forums and apparently it's pretty common at Tesla meet-ups as well.

Seems like a good opportunity for a peer to peer test drive network.

People might pay 50 bucks for a 1hr drive.

I can’t tell making consumers find alternatives to a test drive is good capitalism or bad capitalism.
> In modern houses the solution is to have an airtight layer of plastic sheeting between the insulation and drywall [...]

In a building that will be air conditioned, putting plastic sheeting between the insulation and drywall is a bad idea. The problem is that any moisture in the (comparatively warmer) insulation cavity will condense on the (comparatively cooler) plastic sheeting, wetting out the insulation and causing mold and rot. They also prevent the wall from drying to the inside.

It works fine in cold climates that are do not install air conditioning, as I assume is the case in Finland. In the majority of the US, even up to the Canadian border, many new houses have AC.

The creation of an enemy and blaming them for all the problem seems to be one of the most successful ways to win election - this has been used in India since long before. Stirring up people's emotions and pitching them against each other will result in them fighting each other instead of uniting and questioning the politicians. Politicians will find and use any difference between people to split them - cast, religion, language, job, skin colour, food habits...

There is nothing smart about what the people in the article are doing - they are just motivated by money and are leaving the world a much worse place for the next generation.

It always seems to me like security solutions rarely take into account usability and user experience. Even something which should be simple like configuring a client to use SSL over plaintext can block productivity for a multitude of reasons until you finally put all the pieces together correctly.

Maybe it's out of necessity, because convenience features would be less secure. Maybe there's not much overlap between those concerned with security and those concerned with ease-of-use, except for cases where companies can develop tools that encourage good security practices while exposing the end user to other risks (e.g. password vaults with one entrypoint).

So what you end up with is people gravitating towards bad security practices and using shortcuts because it's a PITA to maintain the good ones. Let's skip using SSL because we need to get work done instead of troubleshooting the dozen possible misconfigurations. I'll use a really short password for my AppleTV account because it's too hard to type the damn thing with the on-screen remote. I'm tired of getting a 2FA code 50 times a day to get work done, so I'll implement a hot key to generate it from the command line.

Seems like ease-of-use for security solutions should be almost as much of a priority as the security implementation itself in some cases.
Show HN: Working on a series of posts about creating Serverless apps with AWS
Indeed, it's important for people to not think so academically about viewpoints all the time. There are ideals, and then there is the real world. It's fine to have ideals about things like absolute free speech in all domains, but it must be balanced against the constraints, rational and irrational, of society at large which never constrains its behaviours to anything resembling the ideal.

It's a classic question of the world not being black and white. Either people accept this greyness and work within it to produce the most desirable result possible, or fruitlessly wonder why nobody else is able to see what apparently is so patently visible to your eyes only.

9p: What The Whole World Wants!
How about a modification of my proposal:

1. the creator has their own private forum (e.g. a Discord group);

2. you, as a potenial commenter, can easily join said group as a guest, with your YouTube credentials used to identify you in the group;

3. or you can also just post "into" the group without joining it, using the form below the video;

4. the community itself can be deputized to moderate such comments;

5. the community can have all sorts of thought-provoking discussions in response to such comments, visible to one-another in the (private) group;

6. the content-creator would have an easy interface to "highlight" any given thread/subtree of conversation from the group, making it into a visible comment thread appearing below the video.

Essentially, this proposal would just take each YouTube channel, and make its comments section into a private forum under the content-creator's control; and then, separately, make the "comments section" below the video into a sort of moderated "best of" version of that forum's discussion of the given post.

That's not the full story though. When delivering to dealerships they are often delivered in a more efficient manner, so the per unit cost of delivery is lower.

Even if that wasn't the case when you go to a dealership that delivery cost is part of the price. Claiming the car is $35,000 when it's literally impossible to buy it for that is a bit misleading.
a nods as good as a wink ;)
I think it's strange to focus on all these details without addressing what seems to me the overwhelming problem with the GitHub layout - the deprioritisation of the readme. Why is it below the fold?

I was very confused for a considerable time when people would point me to GitHub for a description of a project, because there didn't appear to be a description, just a repo. Was I supposed to build it to see what it was?

This seems very silly in retrospect, but there really was a month or two where I just didn't understand at all what I was supposed to be doing there, and I've never forgotten it.

And why? Why is it so critical that the first thing people see is the file structure, and not a description of the project? Echoing the article, I suppose it makes it "about git", but even when I'm interested enough to start poking around, I'm more likely to clone a project than browse through it on the site.

It just feels intentionally obtuse.
So now we have to pay for test drives?
Third Year in a Row of February Rackspace Layoffs
If you wait for everything to get cheaper or better, you'll never get anything, cuz likely there's always something better coming next year.

I think when making purchases, it's helpful to be able to ask "is this a fair trade for me right now?" If it's no, don't get it. If it's yes, then when you complain to yourself or feel that you've been treated unfairly, the 2nd voice in your head should be saying "this was a fair deal that you chose to accept, be happy with it, don't be envious of better deals offered to others."
These stories get worse and worse. And nobody ever does anything to fix it.

Yet another stressor for us oft-maligned millennials: We are supposed to be hitting the "grown-up" mile markers, and we are supposed to be having children. But we are smacked in the face with a doomsday scenario, with no signs of large portions of the US population taking it seriously.

"How can we afford a green new deal?" How can we afford to not at least TRY to reverse course?

Why aren't millennials having kids? Look at the devastation around you. Will they be born into a world careening towards mass-famine and war? What will be left of the earth in the coming years? What do they stand to inherit?

With cloning and gene editing and CRISPR babies, are my genes even valuable? Why not just clone astronauts? And is it better for the whole earth if I choose to not have children?

Personally, my partner and I have decided it is better if we do not have biological children. I come from a family that tends to adopt children instead of having them, so that is no huge worry to me. Am I afraid of missing out on an amazing, transformative human experience? Yeah. But if you look at the map of the possible paths human civilization can take, "here be dragons."
People who will even consider an EV will probably know Tesla and at this point know someone who owns one.

I think this is a smart idea. They can focus this money on creating more superchargers. That sells a lot more than a 20 minute test drive.
