No other cities has legalized small possession drugs and have made it defect legal to camp and do hard drugs and defecate right next to residential areas.

No other cities have attorneys and politicians that through ideology have destroyed law and order.

No other cities have a judicial system in which people can commit 73 crimes and be on the street.

The intensity of the crisis is insane, and it affects everyone that has to live with the highest level of property crime in the nation and to see this insanity every day and to live in fear of a city that won't prosecute these "Crimes of survival"

Getting into YC is itself a credential
The STL is more derived from Abstract Data Types than from OOP but there is overlap between those. Basically the good parts of OOP is ADTs and are embodied in the STL, the bad parts are most of the rest and are embodied in Java.
But there's nothing specific about message passing to that example, you can do this with regular function calling:

For example in Kotlin:

class Boolean {
fun ifTrue(closure: -> ())
fun ifFalse(... whatever)
}

a.ifTrue { /* do something */ }

The autor intended a protest but he did more than just that in reality. His work would easily qualify as contemporary art if announced in a "proper" context: open air art exhibit with wine, pastry, a sophisticatedly worded brochure and invited art critics. I'm not saying he should have done that, but it is art, regardless. This stunt hints a bit at the Russian Voina performance art group, but they're even more radical and labelled as hooligans by the state media.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voina

Add to that the country wide 15 minute strike that followed. That one was huge. Cars stoped dead in the street in major cities, big companies stopped work. Wow. Just think: a protest art event with hundreds of thousands people participating.
I think it is easier to get continuous funding for it, because of the extra gravitas that comes from being an archive. Much like with libraries, the appeal of the idea itself is more important than the books inside. If you look at the list of their sponsors, they include e.g. the National Science Foundation and the Library of Congress.

That, and with more diverse stuff in one place, there's also more diverse interest in keeping it going.
The "common knowledge" is that rats (or their fleas) transmitted the plague. New research suggests this might not be the case.

Emacs + Jupyter integration got significantly better with the recent emacs-jupyter package [1], which, while young, is about as un-janky as any Elisp I've seen. I use this daily now for Julia/Python development.

The acs-jupter Org client augments Org's code cells with dynamic completion and inspection provided by the (potentially remote) kernel. The sessions can be managed per-subtree, enabling me to maintain various contexts within one Org file.

One of the trends I find most disturbing in business over the last few years is the nonchalant passing of the buck on hard business problems, down the food chain to software engineers.

The Silicon Valley mantra of "software can change the world!" has infected every corner of our lives but frequently people misinterpret this as "software can solve anything! (so I don't have to)".

Software engineers also tend to eagerly say "yes" to solving every problem with code, when sometimes a problem just can't be solved with code. Thus compounding the issue.

I'd argue that many of the macro problems in our world right now stem from this cycle.

My PSA to all devs - if someone asks you to patch a major business problem with software, push back. Sometimes a puzzle to solve, isn't your puzzle to solve. Send it back up the food chain. You don't have to say yes to everything.
Here is a link to that research: http://sci-hub.tw/https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1715640115
I especially agree with "This means that objects can only communicate by calling methods".
I think we can add another thing - the object can also expose readonly properties, which allows external modules easy accessing the object's state but cannot change it.

It could be form over function. But my issue is that we have terrible power supply and no-one can fix the problem for themselves using solar. People here just get noisy generators that only provide partial power anyway.

A solar roof would also positively impact the sale price of your house. I don't have the answers here and maybe solar won't solve my country's issues. I am just throwing a rock into the bush.
My best friend from high school contacted me on Myspace. He had uploaded all his music, each band with a separate profile for posterity. Then he killed himself. I found out on Facebook. We formed a group and mourned in Facebook. Myspace died soon after that. Castles in the sand.
Currently I'm not near my computer to verify myself (I am on my phone, before bed), but can you get into walled-but-indexed LinkedIn/Pinterest content with "Googlebot" UA spoofing?

I'd want to assume that their systems are more advanced than that (or if they're really in cahoots, maybe Google crawls them with a unique, secret bot UA to prevent this sort of thing), but I just got done with another thread where an ex-Tumblr dev said all user content was in a single S3 bucket without MFA delete so my gut feeling is lending a bit more weight to the "everything is held together with rubber bands and duct tape and it's only a matter of time before the jig is up" parameter than the "large, powerful companies tend to hire smart people that communicate and design robust systems effectively" one.
Having a STEM degree is not the only alternative to poverty.

I didn’t suggest that having a STEM degree was the only way out of poverty. My point: if poor students wanted to get STEM degrees, they often don’t have the high school preparation to do so and their families can’t afford the tutors, test prep courses and academic coaches affluent families have access to.
But average is a useless statistic since many people who survived childhood lived to a similar age as today.
Seems like AYBABTME is talking about constrained optimization, whereas you are speaking of "constraints" in a different context, i.e., this paper (https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/6255) by Stallman and Sussman, further developed in Guy Steele's PhD dissertation, eventually leading to the propagator model by Radul and Sussman (https://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/users/gjs/propagators/). Both kinds of "constraints" are very interesting, but one is a class of numerical algorithms and another a general programming framework.
You called the story bullshit in another comment, that’s not what most people say when they are intellectually curious.
Second this comment, similar experience.

OTOH, it is true that outside YC there are subclusters that are a lot less meritocratic and more network based.
To make this concrete, here are some things you might like to do with normal method calls, but cannot:

1. Make a logging proxy that wraps an arbitrary object. Any method you call on the logger, it logs the name of the method, and then invokes that method on its wrapped object.

2. Make a "tee" object. Any method you call on the object, it invokes on its N child objects.

3. Make a "replay" object. Any method you call on the object, it saves instead of executes. Later you can replay the saved method calls by redirecting them onto another object.

Message sends can invoke a method, but they can also go beyond that.

I'd say this is just aggressive SEO, with you looking for a specific digital “product” of schematics. I get similar experience in regular search when looking for manuals for appliances and such.

As for ‘spectrum analyzer’ instead of ‘network analyzer’, it's probably Google's wonderful synonym substitution, which considers ‘music’ and ‘noise’ interchangeable, or similarly with ‘Saint Petersburg’ and ‘Moscow.’

The stall didn't exist at that configuration previously. MCAS prevents the pilot from even knowing about this stall by preventing the plane from even going into that configuration. In other words it hides the stall by preventing you from maneuvering the plane into it. It fits the definition of "Hide." But that's besides the point, we're arguing about semantics here.

I'm saying similar to the older design make the aerodynamic shape good enough so that it won't hit that stall when the plane is flying at that same configuration. I'm also saying that the control system should only magnify or reduce the signals the pilot sends to the control surfaces rather than actually sending it's own override signals itself. That's it... pure and simple.

> It's a common myth that you can get less noise from bigger pixels.

In general yes. Though having the wrong size read head gets in the way of doing perfect subpixel alignment.

But you're missing the critical issue with "double stepping". The head is reading half the width of each track, and then skipping all the way to the next track. It's not making two side-by-side reads on each track and combining the data. So if there's a small magnetic issue, it can corrupt bits that would otherwise be fine.

If you only have two sensors and you're taking input from both sensors, assuming each sensor has the same probability of malfunction then you're doubling the chance of processing bad input.

You could choose to select the input that results in the least-worst bad outcome. But that may not bring the total risk below the increased risk of utilizing both sensors. The sensors are doing something purposeful, after all.

So it may be logical what they're doing. OTOH, the logic may make sense only in a path dependent sort of way, after a series of bad decisions that put them in a corner with poor options. There probably really should be 3 or more sensors.
I have seen plenty functions on my career that are anything but stateless.

Just in case anyone is wondering why more efficient engines are bigger: the energy is quadratic in speed (mv^2/2) while the momentum is linear (mv). For a given amount of energy (which comes from burning fuel) you can choose to push the airplane forward by pushing air back in 2 ways: 1. less mass, more speed, 2. more mass, less speed. It turns out 2 is better, for example you can push 4 times as much mass for half the speed, which results in twice the momentum of the air pushed backwards. Now the amount of air you can push is the amount of air you can get, and that's proportional with the front area of the engine. So, you always want to have as large an engine as possible. Bonus: the larger the engine, the slower the air moves through it, and so the less noise it produces. When you read that engines have become both more efficient and more quiet over the years, the second part was just a nice side-effect of the first.
And at selling embalming as a standard and expected part of the process. For the UK at least:

- Varnished coffins are usually very thin veneer on top of mainly particle board - the glue is as problematic as any varnish, and add pollution to cremation. US coffins are commonly steel(!) apparently. "Brass" fittings are usually plastic, and not removed before cremation as you might expect.

- Embalming is so much an expected part you're not asked, it's just done. You'd have to already know it's not required and you may ask for no embalming. In former years it was common to have the coffin at home for a few days - with no embalming. Not that long ago either.

- Mind boggling amounts of formaldehyde (and other chemicals) are used by the funeral industry.

When Boeing merged with McDonnell Douglas in 1997 essential McDonnell's management moved into Boeing's c-suite.

What essentially was a very engineering driven culture was replaced by finance and marketing geeks that very much moved away from this approach (and moved Boeing's headquarters to Chicago in 2001 and in the process management away from engineering and construction).

Sadly (and arguably) culminating in the two crashes we read about recently.
Being somewhat of a functional programming zealot (coming from the Clojure camp, so please excuse me if these are stupid questions, considering my lack of familiarity with typed functional programming in general), this is something that has always bothered me about TypeScript's type system, the poor support for higher order functions.

For a prime example of this, take a look at the type definition for the ramda pipe function: https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/blob/mast...

It's a hard coded list of 10 signature overrides that allows it to support up to 10 piped functions. Obviously the actual ramda pipe function can support an arbitrary number of piped functions at runtime, but the types as written only supports 10.

This seems awfully inelegant and inflexible. I assume there is some fundamental deficiency in TypeScript's type system that forces people to specify types this way, otherwise it would have been rewritten by now.

Is higher kinded types what's missing to be able to express higher order functions and functional composition in an elegant way? If so, can someone provide an example of what the type signature of a pipe function would look like with higher kinded types? Any ideas if higher kinded types are being considered as additions in future versions of TypeScript, or if that's even feasible at all?
No this is not a rant about systemd. The idea behind UNIX was a small set of lego building blocks that could be plugged together to construct something way larger than the parts themselves. The idea in Linux is that once you become an open source contributor more software is always better and more features is always better and hey why doesn't everyone build a monolith with 150 subcommands, which does not interoperate with any other software, and this describes most of the software built for Linux in the past 10 years.
In my experience they don't look your Github profile at all. I think mainly because the average recruiter have no competence to read it (sad but true). I had two so called independent recruiters pretending to read it, but when I asked what repository preferred and why I obtained an embarrassing silence. Worst, the same happened with a couple of programmers during the final interviews. Recently I had a letter from a big software house, declaring they was interested to my projects on Github, I asked some questions discovering that that someone else ( maybe some kind of automatic system) give him a suggestion, but that wasn't his direct examination.

Sure, but in three years, comments you made on Google+ when it opened will be ten years old.

Back when I was a student I kept a couple as pets, as they were much more interesting than gerbils, mice, and hamsters. (That's about the size of pets we had space for.)

I do recall a few people were weirded out by their tails, but I never really understood it.

I'd be happy to keep rats again, they're intelligent enough to do interesting things, and learn from their environment. They can also respond to simple verbal commands - recognizing their names - and they're not at all prone to biting children, which is a good thing!
What's a reference, though? In actor based messages, you can pass the mailbox id, which is not a memory reference, but semantically a "reference" to the object encapsulated by the actor.
Smalltalk messages also return values.
I think some developers either only have one window open at a time, or always use fullscreen/maximized windows. There are so many things that are just difficult to use when windows are tiled to fit ~4 things on one monitor.
Whose service are you talking about?

If you use a browser and don't block third-party trackers, Google will know about 60% of the websites you visit, and Facebook about 20%. Even if you never signed up to any of their services and don't use any of their offerings.
We'd have potentially ended up with a similarly sized fund but around a tenth per-capita. That would have been around $20k or $30k for every man woman and child - hardly trivial.

Certainly not a reason not to bother or feel we got anything resembling a benefit from the resource dividend.
