I mean, democrats are still white, by large majorities..so they "hate themselves"?

Well, it seems weird, but yeah - haven't you yet encountered the spectacle of a white man who seems to be apologising for being male and white? Or at least suffering from some sort of vague, formless guilt from which he can never atone about his 'privilege'?

Seeing people who have been convinced to hate themselves because of how they were born, is a distressing and puzzling experience. I hope it doesn't become something I see too frequently.
But doesn't it seem hypocritical to push for equal treatment externally when those requirements have not been met? EU processes like this one can take decades to iron out.
sounds like devops work.
When scenario that really has really caused issues in the Canadian system is that they required Canadian permanent residents and Canadian work permit holders to travel with those permits.

They were ineligible for the Canadian ETIAS.

But if they lost their permits while overseas, it could take weeks for a new permit, meanwhile a Canadian passport holder could get a new one in 24hrs.
This seems like an overstatement since protobufs (for example) are a widely used way of describing a common data format for distributed systems and they do support static types. Though, common practice is to make all fields optional.

Types can also be very useful for security, to keep track of which runtime safety checks need to be done. For example, you can have a separate type for HTML strings that can be rendered without escaping.
Yes. Having a reservation let you order earlier. All else being equal, an earlier reservation let you order before a later one, but there were other factors as well.

I saw both sides of this, placing a reservation and then ultimately waiting for a version that didn’t require one. I did get a chance to order before it opened up to the general public, but I didn’t take advantage.

Small-state citizenship relates to the discussion as one point of comparison as to super-state unity.

The United States really is one country, and is Constitutionally required to maintain unity, to have only one front for international affairs, and to allow U.S. citizens to be citizens of the state in which they reside.

None of these is true in the EU. EU member states are permitted to leave. Each EU member state carries on its own foreign relations. Each EU citizen maintains citizenship in the EU member state of his or her birth.

The EU is not at all analogous to the United States after the Constitution of 1798 and post-Texas v. White. There might be an argument that it's similar to the United States under the Articles of Confederation. Any insistance that they are more similar is a false equivalency. That is the point of GP.
If you try to look for a cause the countries in question seem to be in the EU block that is the source of much within-EU immigration tension. Immigrating to the US legally is hard, and for someone with few opportunities in their home countries the incentives are higher to find a way to work immigrate to the US. Legal or otherwise. Incentives are different in each direction because working illegally in the rich EU countries is almost impossible, while it is normal in the US.

If there is an underlying issue of overstaying when people come from some EU countries where there is an economic incentive to go to the US, then one can understand that the US will respond by imposing visa requirements to ameliorate that.

Therefore if overstaying is not a concern when going from the US to the EU then imposing the same requirement in reverse is more of an emotional concern, which might be the right choice if ones goal is to have the EU act as a whole emotionally.
What are glass and metal? Seriously, we hardly use that stuff any more.

I was under the impression if you're employed by a US company and simply traveling you're fine. The EU has a pretty strict definition of "working" - eg checking an email from your boss on vacation in Berlin is technically working.

I think what would run afoul is if you're doing journalism, photography, or something where you're doing the work in th EU, versus firing up a corporate VPN and writing code on a US server for a US company.

(Keep in mind you can do things like go to meetings or attend conferences w/o a special visa in the EU and Canada currently)

I suspect in the long term "digital nomad" visas will become a thing. After all, if someone wants to work in say, Tokyo or Talinn for 2 years in their early 20s, and is willing to pay Japanese or Estonian taxes, that could be a win win. You get someone in a high tax bracket bringing money in, and presumably buying other things (eating out, rent etc).
How does the tax on the packaging negatively affect the business? The business will just pass that cost directly onto the consumer.
Hah, I had no idea that others have this problem too. There must be something to this sequence that makes it very easy to memorize.
I mostly use Manjaro Linux for my work now because Windows can be quite annoying when trying to use many popular `nix-first` dev tools that I need to use. I also maintain a couple of Macs that are used for testing and doing stuff for iOS. I'm saying this to point out that I'm not some Windows zealot...

But I have 4 Windows 10 PCs in my house and dozens at work and I never had this problem. I see people on HN complaining about it every time a story about Windows 10 comes up though.

It's not a complaint that I've ever heard in real life either, ever, from anyone that I know that uses Windows 10 (that's a ton of people at my company.) It's also not a complaint that I hear outside of this kind of tech circle online very much.

I wonder if people who "know what they're doing" with computers take some drastic unnecessary action in Windows 10 that causes this problem?

I've read an equal number of horror stories to success for Erlang / Elixir. That isn't to say it's not good or useful, but that it isn't some magic bullet that solves every problem for you.

Edit - I guess my point is that it's not good enough to keep a secret. :)
Lawyers work in niches. It’s unreasonable to expect to find one after only speaking to two.

> Erlang's niche is distributed systems anyway, an area where static typing is at odds more often than not.

I've worked on a lot of distributed systems, and I don't see what this has to do with anything. Yes, static typing doesn't prevent you from doing any of the things you mentioned like changing your API out from under someone, but it's not supposed to. It Does however prevent certain classes of mistake in the individual service or executable, which is still a laudable goal in and of itself. It's not a silver bullet, but it's no less useful in distributed systems than it is anywhere else.

Also, are we talking about strong typing or static typing? The OP said one thing and this reply says another. Either way, both are nice in distributed systems too.
Your point can be generalized to support any local optimum. Come on. "It seems equally plausible that people wouldn't spend time hearing your argument because they don't like it".

Still, this is a bit harsh to return your argument like this, because you're striking a good point: getting to know a language and its "philosophy of use" takes time. However, i do not see why not having taken the energy to climb out of your comfort zone to reach what is considered a better optimum by those who have would give any more weight, by comparison to the alternatives, to your opinion.

Edit: I have never used Haskell, but if I had to chose a next language to learn this would probably be it. Simply because people who use it speak of it as a kind revelation by comparison to the the way they used to program in their previous language. Also since I have worked for quite some time with the dynamic alternative in FP (Clojure) I might well try its static variant with Haskell. However as you pointed out, I'm not learning it because of lack of time/focus. Still that does not prevent me from listening closely to what Haskellers have to say, or say people from Common Lisp or even people attached to the JVM and its language ecosystem. Why ? because their experience is valuable. It's not just theirs, and it could way have been mine.

Oh great. Tons of 2nd generation Canadians and Americans are Polish and Croat citizens by lineage. It’ll probably be illegal for them to apply for an ETIAS, and it’ll take a year to get a PL or HR passport.
Quality of plastics is the main thing. I don’t think it’s as poor as people hype it up to be.
You can write purely functional programs in CL by simply choosing not to use those constructs. Most modern Common Lisps have proper tail call elimination, so you don't need loops. I can think of a couple of issues with Common Lisp that make it less ideal for FP than Haskell, but they don't involve the things you mentioned.
I wonder how they structured it legally. Does anyone have a contract, either in German or English? Can't seem to find it online.
I have edited my post to rectify this. Thank you for the suggestion.
If we look back 2, 3000 years ago, disposal was a problem already. We can see how people discarded things even when they were relatively expensive. Example all the different strata at the Troy/Troja site.

It’s hardly a modern problem. But in modern times we have added complications of sheer volume, toxicity, and lack of biodegradability.
No, not a work project. Agree most of our jobs are pretty banal, figure out how to get this css to center correctly in IE6. Rather, selectively choose a side project to do that likely will involve some interesting data structures and algorithms. That will give your brain a really deep workout and it'll be more prepared to go through silly interview questions.
Ok thanks, I wasn't sure if was a trend I had missed or what.
Probably not that many devices, at a guess. We've already had one GPS week number rollover and most GPS hardware now handles it by assuming the current date is after the firmware was released (so they'll mostly break 19 and a bit years after the last firmware release, not on the rollover).

Oh, and this also means that some devices have had rollover-related issues before the actual rollover date. Some of the early, out-of-support Trimble devices apparently haven't been able to get the right date since 2016 for example.
I don't know the solution I feel like given it's illegal to punch someone in the face it should also be illegal to give them your contagious sickness. Yea I know it's impossible to tell who gave you the their sickness so it will never happen. Just find it strange that if you punch someone in the face you'll face criminal charges but you get them sick so that they have fever that may give them brain damage, a sore throat so bad they can't eat, a cough so harsh it scars their insides for life, absolutely nothing. I get there's nothing that can be done legally but there's zero contrition as well.

I often wonder if we could magically make every person on the planet avoid human contact for 1 month if we'd kill off the common cold. I know it's impossible obviously it's just an interesting thought experiment.

Actually I think, the 911 shape is a great shape for an electric sports car, and that it is not a coincidence, that the Model 3 has some very remote similarities. The 911 is designed as a very aerodynamic car, enabled by the rear engine. As there is no engine in the front, the front part is very low and without a large cooler, consequently without the dominating grille. For good aerodynamics you want low fronts and a very smooth shape. The rear part of the 911 is constantly declining with basically no vertical section at the end, also great for aerodynamics. Picking up these aerodynamic features would completely make sense for an electric car - the rear won't be completely filled by the engine but allow for a trunk.
What principle?
This is rediculous. If I'm dealing with something that completely terminates quickly, like the Python in Meson or Nix in Nixpkgs, maybe I can get away with not having static types and still get work done.

If I'm dealing with some complex long-lived distributed system, I don't have time for the bullshit errors no static type checking allows. I'm already waist-deep with real problems!

Also if you control the client and the server, do not just blindly follow Postel's law and except crappy data. Be rigid and lo, and behold, one side quickly excises all the bugs in the other.

For me it's the opposite. I wouldn't let go Clojure ('s standard lib and datastructures) and I don't really care about the JVM !
I don't know about Germany; my understanding is it's quite a specific country in many ways (rich and orderly).

Do you think the taxpayers, given a choice, would willingly contribute their tax money to such projects? Hence "nonsense".

Also note these projects often go against the wishes of local residents, and cost participation is ≫0% (EU/gvt subsidizes part of the cost + local municipality pays the rest). Which means, the local taxpayers get fucked over twice. Local politicians and their connected businesses profit.
A lot of people including "me" (TFA author, of course "me" = larger team) were doing hardware matrix multiplication for many years before 2012 [let's say before deep learning.] I count "moving data around" as "dispatching costs" [dispatching = figuring out what to do, on what data and where to put results as opposed to actually doing it.]
"Organic" posts can have their ranking boost by money... Essentially, there are no organic posts. It is all advertising.
At many employers you need to pass several screens before you can get into a position where someone is able to review your project that actually knows anything about how to evaluate it. Some places have systems that scrape text out of resumes and do keyword searches as filters. Your resume is often read for a first step by someone who doesn't understand the job at all. A clear credential of _any_ sort can often get you past these hurdles to a point where you can get to dealing with someone who can look at your project and determine if it has merit. But the best project in the world cannot help you if you don't even get to that point.

"Done in hardware" means "done directly in hardware"; the directly part is understood, because everyone knows that everything is ultimately done in hardware.

Something not done directly in hardware is done in software. That means it's done using more hardware resources compared to directly in hardware.

QED; directly in hardware is cheaper.

Cheaper to operate, anyway, not necessarily cheaper to produce. You have to move a decent volume before it becomes economic to optimize a solution into hardware. Also, a mistake discovered in the field in hardware is more costly than a mistake in upgradable software.
I think the point was that work should be reciprocally permitted. That is probably the most basic difference between visiting somewhere and living there.

I really like the combination of Mercedes rotary wheel/button interface with a Apple CarPlay, it's pretty much my ideal interface. Huge icons and text, not a lot to clutter, and a simple and consistent input mechanism. The wheel is great, and comfortable. A few more buttons for things like temperature control and seat/mirror adjustment and I'm set in terms of non-steering column interface.
yes, I'd say if a language fits the product for some reason then it's an advantage, but a "competitive advantage" sounds like a stretch. If it's a niche language you want to attract the programmers in a smaller pool so you may as well advertise it.
>Plastic clamshell containers are difficult to recycle because the material they’re made of is so flimsy—but it’s hard to find berries not sold in those containers, even at most farmers’ markets.

Yes, but it's easy to find farmers grateful to take them back for reuse. Same with those green plastic open baskets. Plastic produce bags can be brought back in a shopping bag for reuse by ourselves.

+1 for farmer's markets.
No, it does not create an incentive for the US to drop ESTA. If they dropped it, that would create an asymmetry where where US citizens traveling to Europe are treated worse than Europeans traveling to the US. Hardly any American politician would want that.

Introducing this nonsense in the EU means that it will be really hard for either side to drop it, since realistically both sides would have to negotiate to drop it together. That's harder than for the US to drop it now, unilaterally.

There tends to be a massive difference between the effort required to get a visa, and the effort required to get ESTA.

ESTA roughly as annoying as booking a plane ticket if you don't already have an account with a pre-filled profile, and usually granted instantly.

A visa request, even if done online, can easily cost you many hours filling out forms, scanning documents, etc., and often takes weeks to process.

It's also much rarer for an ESTA to be denied than for a visa to be denied.

There's a reason why passportindex.org distinguishes mostly between "real" visa requirements, and mostly pro-forma stuff like ESTA, visa-on-arrival etc.
Static typing with uncontrolled input, whether user input or distributed systems running multiple versions, is handled via "Don't trust, verify!". Structures and inputs are validated at the ingress so that the rest of the code of you application can rely on static type checks. If the validation fails the entire request can be immediately rejected.

It's paradoxical as I do agree with you that this is a rather new ideology and is not widely accepted. Nonetheless, the view has a disproportionate hold on power. You're unlikely to face any consequence for suggesting outright false things that fit the ideology, but you can face extremely severe consequences for stating things, even well supported, that run against the ideals of the ideology.

However, I do not agree that the science is ambiguous here and I am very open to anything to the contrary. I can offer specific studies, but I'm fairly sure you'd agree that the more we reveal through genetic research, the greater a role it seems to play in practically everything. Yet there is the issue that many critical genetic factors are unevenly distributed and have very high rates of heritability. What gives reason to believe that it might be that people are "identically capable" in spite of this?

One final point I'd add is that in society power was traditionally not driven by assumption of power, but by power itself. Whichever group was able to prove itself smarter, more powerful, etc than another group had a tendency of imposing its will on the 'weaker' group. Power was rarely given, but often taken. This trend only came to a rapid freeze since the birth of nuclear weapons which have rather revolutionized the notion of power. In a world without nuclear weapons we would not have this unsteady "balance" of power between Europe, China, Mideast, US, and each of their respective allies.
I believe these countries need real visa. Germany etc. still need ESTA.
TFA author. How does the word "dispatching" hint at the order of magnitude of anything? What orders of magnitude do depend on is your competition. Outdoing a CPU at operation X is easier than outdoing a GPU at X [assuming the GPU does X reasonably well] which is easier than outdoing a DSP at X [assuming the DSP does X reasonably well]. If your competition is reasonably optimized programmable accelerators, your opportunities to beat it start shrinking.
