> you really can’t do FP without automatic currying

I find automatic currying by default quite weird..
If you don't provide the correct number of arguments to your function the errors generated won't be nice..

Would a 'curry' operator to provide currying be good enough?
> id Software’s Quake II launched in 1997, bringing gamers a new single-player campaign, a long-awaited, addictive multiplayer mode that we played for years on pitifully-slow 56K modems, and a jaw-dropping engine

As for me Quake 2 was kind of a disappointment after Duke Nukem 3D. Only Half-Life brought back the depth Duke Nukem 3D had. E.g. seeing something like a ventilation cover and not being able to break it and climb through felt infuriating.
Nearly every woman I know has a Pinterest account...
It's both cynical and accurate, it seems.
I'm still getting an AccessDenied. Also for https://www.contextcue.com/contact
I continue to be amazed that Pinterest is still a thing.
Running it on just 22 should be pretty effective on it's own. Large scale port scanning is semi-difficult, as you'll get banned really fast, even if you're just scanning an uncommon port. To pull it off, you'll either need your host to be okay with the abuse complaints (that are usually automated) or have a botnet/proxy list.

However even then there's 65535 different ports (not to mention almost 4.3 billion ipv4 addresses), and you'll likely can firewalled off pretty fast. So instead of scanning 65535 ports, scanning just 22 usually works anyway, as few people change their ssh ports (and those that do are more likely to have other security measures in place)
I've started to play around with LiveView by migrating something from ajax to it [0] and it seems very nice! It's still in beta tho and a lot to do still... but very promising indeed :)

That would be easy to do with an iptables DNAT rule. You can take a large set of ports and forward them to this daemon.

iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -m tcp -p tcp --dport 1:79 -j DNAT --to-destination x.x.x.x:2222

iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -m tcp -p tcp --dport 81:442 -j DNAT --to-destination x.x.x.x:2222

...etc

Just remember to open those same ports in the INPUT rules. If you get DDoS, then also create NOTRACK target rules in the raw table to avoid hitting the conntrack table.
Ouch, that's very shoddy - you're right. Thanks I'll correct those and get some help reading the copy!
I think that's right. It's anecdotal but everyone I know who owns some BTC owns a small amount and sees it as a sort of (a) hedge against major turmoil in fiat and (b) possibly long-term upside if more and better uses for the tech materialize.

So it's digital gold, and maybe being digital means it has long-term upside.
> > "tech is behind medicine's adoption curve with resepect to gender inclusion"

> This is a testable hypothesis and wrong. Women's participation in CS is dropping, so it absolutely is not the same curve, just a little behind.

Women's inclusion dropped in medicine between the late 19th and mid 20th centuries, and came up after that, IIRC, so it could well be the same curve just 100 years or so behind.

Union shops are lowest common denominator places. High performers tend to leave because seniority and politics dominates promotion and wages.

Apart from this, senior union reps and management tend to get cosy and form coalitions against workers and shareholders.

The people that win are the people that are good at politics, workers that are mediocre, and people that are uncomfortable with fast-paced change. Unions are great at slowing things down and keeping things in slow comfort zone so people don't have to learn new things.

Imagine the mediocre 50% of your company gets to determine the processes and procedures used in your team. That's a union shop.

Imagine that manager who isn't very good at his job but is good at politics and that union rep getting drinks after work, and making a coalition against the fast rising manager with aggresive new initiatives in mind ... that's a union shop.

Long term your company will stagnate and die.

Short term, a bunch of mediocre people will feel comfortable.

Flavor of the day workers will get hired based on checking boxes ... not based on any objective criteria/merit. That's a union.

Ever wonder why 90% of cops are white in the Bay Area, even when the neighborhoods are 90% non-white? That's a union.

Unions are the big lie that political animals tell everyone else ... OH JUST GIVE US THE POWER AND WE WILL EMPOWER YOU!

It's only true if you are incapable of providing for yourself. If you have the skills, fight against the union as long as you can, and then leave.

Best decision my parents ever made was to leave the union-choked midwestern city where I was born, to come west thirty years ago. I probably would have been one of those rust-trapped casualties by now if my parents had stayed.
I’m in the US and know it exists, but I don’t know anyone who uses it. It seems like it’s used predominantly by women to collect and share photos taken by other people (e.g. photos of clothing, makeup, fashion models, crafts, weddings, food, etc.).

The fact that I don’t know anyone who uses it does not imply that Pinterest is unpopular. I just know so few women.
Zoom is the best conferencing solution right now, hands down.
He's saying that he is unaware of the vast amount of social services available to the poor, and is arguing with a strawman.
Moderators can flag bad users.

Users decide if they agree with the moderators.

If the user agrees, the bad users are hidden from the user.

The user decides where the line is.
Of course it is in the "game" sense. It handles X, Y, and Z axes in game on mobs and the player, although it is selective in which mobs get the "Z treatment". Monsters are infinitely tall, projectiles aren't. It's not a limitation of the engine as much as it was a design choice, as Y-shearing was too ugly in Carmack's opinion, so it was removed in favor of a very forgiving auto-aim.

Nothing's stopping someone from adding code to render 3D models or "portals" in the game, and in fact it has already been done, with no 3D acceleration needed.
I am 100% a LOT of projects fall under this umbrella, but:

1) this is not an argument for leaving an inferior library in the language

2) plenty of people do update their software, for old code and large projects. Why not push people toward the better library?
I expect the most basic package - 10 users in an organisation, as many teams as you like will be $10 a month. That tier won't be a money maker but a good way for small companies to get on without breaking the bank.
Still, the two buckets I described above hold true. If someone is returning to your web app - Slack, or Trello, for example - you don't care as much about SEO because most of your visitors are return visitors. Your splash page, on the other hand, needs to be optimized for SEO but won't have much interactive complexity, so it doesn't need client-side rendering.

They will usually try port 22 for SSH, only. So, if tarpit is on port 22 and real SSH is on another - mission accomplished: you're making them (at least one of their threads) wait.
$50-70 to switch to USB-C? That seems like a pretty healthy exaggeration.

We have a long history of problem with tourist coming to Amsterdam and live like animals.
Simultaneously in 2007 after a long time of having barely any seats in Amsterdam, the CDA (Christian Democrats) were looking for a reason for a stricter drug policy.
Now I do agree with having more control on the abuse of the freedoms in our city, but I am convinced the ban on mushrooms has been a superficial fake solution.
Yes, mushrooms are no longer being sold in the city, but now it's "truffels".
The bigger problem, as was in this case with the unfortunate French girl, people come here and have absolute no control.
What has been conveniently left out of this story is that the girl was already depressed and had been partying for days.
Mushroom usage has been a very safe practice for millennia and some party girl and zealous political party ruined it for us.
There are places in America that aren't much better than Brazil or Mexico. There are other places in America where help is hours away and defending yourself is the only option. And places where hunting is still a means of feeding families, as well as the primary method of managing animal populations.

By all means, ban guns in New York and San Francisco if that's what the people of those cities want, but don't impose your needs on people who live completely different lives.
lol I love this, especially the little easter eggs.
Virtually all the women over 25 in my life have a Pinterest board. Among the men in my life, it is a good way to curate porn.
Absolutely. Would you rather it be triggered by some person or corporation, and then have the problems of trying to hold them responsible for the deaths and damage that will happen?
Thats the whole challenge we're dealing with now, right? Robots are trying to participate in a world where all of the interfaces are designed for humans, and thats why we get hung up on humanoid designs. I think its probably equal parts whatever the futurism equivalent of nostalgia is and and the raw practicality of making robots that understand human-world interfaces seeming easier than rebuilding the entire human world with robots in mind.
And how do you make sure that the entity in charge didn't just remove transactions from the log? Let's add a cryptographic commitment to the whole transaction set with each transaction.

But then how do you order them to know which one came first. What if two transactions come at the same time? Let's split them into chunks that will be added every X minutes.

And how do you make sure that the chunks aren't messed with/reordered/whatever? Let's make each chunk reference the previous one through a hash.

Oh wait.
Being able to make the other person's case and articulate it in a way that is true to them is a key step in negotiations books, as well as some conversations books. It's not really hard to understand why. A lot of time is lost in arguments/debates because one person thinks the other person isn't understanding (even when the other person does) - so it's important to signal that you understand.

There is a kind of corollary to this: Often times person A comes to me complaining about person B being stubborn about something. So I often ask: "So why do you think B is insisting on it?" They usually cannot come up with a good answer. At that point, I either hint or explicitly tell A that B has a position that A doesn't understand, and it's not surprising B will not change his position since A isn't trying to address B's needs.
My wife uses it for finding recipes, bridal stuff when we were planning our wedding, home decorating ideas.

Totally, there are only 10-20 features missing to make me do that, and then the surveillance part and maybe support. The 10:1 energy consumption advantage is also there but maybe not as relevant.
The use of "social justice" language to crush a union drive is manipulative to the point of insanity.
They tend to overreach their charter and rather than negotiate strongly with the entrenched powers that be they instead hinder newcomers aka competition thereby putting a drag on innovation. Or at least that is the common view in the US.
> I'm saying there's a much more obvious hypothesis for why "people are selective of the industry they work in", and you need to refute that instead of circularly insisting on its truth as the basis for your argument.

...no? It's your responsibility to provide evidence for your "much more obvious hypothesis". I provided evidence for my claim that women choose not to go into tech on their own volition. I provided global statistics that demonstrate that the more freedom and equality women have, the less they choose to go into tech. I did "prove it" as you insist I need to do, so I'm confused why you continue to say that I have not provided evidence . It's your turn to provide evidence in refutation of this claim.

The way you keep summarizing this as "chicks don't like tech" and insisting that I provide evidence of my claim while simultaneously calling your explanation "much more obvious" without providing evidence to back it up is not indicative of a good faith discussion.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk Surprises Flint Students with Visit, Laptops
This makes sense to me. I think the word "robot" has some historical/cultural connotations that lead us down this rabbit hole of defining what a robot is. Rosie from the Jetson’s? R2D2? FANUC industrial robots? It’s tempting then to cherry pick one’s own definition of a robot, and point out challenges and theorize why it’s hard to build profitable robot companies. The question is fallacious.

In general, I think the hardware business is hard for all the reasons you mention. Or better stated, the hardware business has characteristics that make it difficult to get right the first time (more important in hardware than software, I’d argue) and scale. It’s not inconceivable for a single (or a small team) to build a useful software product that makes money (several successful mobile apps, companies like 37signals, etc.). It’s difficult for me to think of similar hardware analogs (I’d love examples!). This isn’t to say that scaling software—building companies like Google–isn’t incredibly hard. It is. But for a hardware company to even have a chance, it needs a minimum scale threshold from the very get-go (besides all the other things that any business needs – a useful product, luck, etc.).

I used to work for a large aerospace company in the early/mid 2000s, and the products we built were useful, and amazing (hunks of metal weighing tens or even hundreds of thousands of pounds flying in the air transporting people). I was absolutely awestruck by the fact that upcoming companies like Google and Facebook (which were “just websites” in my then-naive worldview) had fewer people, and made way more money than us.
The vast majority are going for the low hanging fruit. I don't have to outrun the bear. I just have to outrun you.
nothing, except the attacker doesn't know what A is. 22 is the default for ssh.
Like Snapchat.
Plenty of folks have years worth of recipes, fashion ideas, etc. saved, so you'd need a good Pinterest-to-new-service importer, which I suspect Pinterest's API (which is, in my experience, actively hostile to developers) makes quite difficult.
> US unions are no different than any place else.

That's quite untrue. In several European countries, for example Germany, U.S.-style "union shops" (which, unfortunately, are basically mandatory under the NLRA) are illegal.
Beware tho, Google has still not officially said it was able to parse SPAs as well as server-side rendered pages and have still at multiple occasion (and still recently) said that although it can deal with JS, its not perfect and leads to issues. So if SEO is important I wouldn't skip SSR.
Really? Nice to have a supply chain and production tooling expert on this site too!

Or maybe they couldn't have just quickly re-tooled and redesigned everything without making the price too steep compared to the other models.

And why would they? These models will sell like mad. It's not like there's any actual competition in the tablet market. Google doesn't care and Samsung releases a half-hearted attempt every now and then for the hardcode iOS allergics.

also, from a selfish programmer standpoint, programming in elixir is really such a joy.
“Senior” in your title doesn’t really mean much, other than that you aren’t entry level.
And the second guess would be port 2222, so don't use it for a real ssh server!
Yeh they use a two stage process now but client side is still best - look at the recent JavaScript series on googles webmaster chanel.
It's doesn't have to be short term. Previous processes mostly were, by necessity.

Indeed, this is a predictable effect of subsidizing on-street parking. Banning free street parking would unwarp the economics.
Sorry, I should have been more clear. Those links were to old pages that don't exist anymore, so I removed them from the original page.

Lending money for longer term is disadvantaged vs. shorter term so borrowing is impacted. This leads to less stability and in the past has been a fairly good indicator of an upcoming recession.

Past performance is not an indicator of future returns.
Parent post was responding to black and white thinking:

Union representation will probably bring up the compensation of the worst workers and lower the compensation of the top workers, so senior employees are right to fight the unionization effort.
Or the FTC comes like a bag of bricks.
What does it mean to "live as a woman" besides being called "she"? Wear lots of makeup and pretty dresses? I guess the XX women who don't dress like a 90s Barbie doll aren't "living as women", then.
Don't bother, it's not as performant as VNC (VNC overhead is higher but latency may be lower, depends whether you want to optimize for low latency and throughout versus server resource usage), especially once you take into account stuff like VirtualGL.
Pinterest Files for IPO
Surprisingly good financials here. Hmmmm.
Neat little project to needle some of the botters a bit (though I assume they'll all evolve to recognize this fairly quickly). I'd echo tyingq's comment below though:

Any tarpit has the potential to piss someone off. I'd run it on a sacrificial server with no obvious way to tie back to who is running it.

Yeah, just speculating but at least from what I've seen in the past if you successfully tarpit some script kiddie and they notice the IP their scan got stuck on there is some potential to move from "one of a billion random lowest common denominator bulk scan targets" to "paid attention to specifically some minimal amount", which is a genuinely different scenario. Even if all that amounts to is a relatively low volume revenge DDOS pointed at you for a bit it's still more of a disruption then if the auto scan had just moved on without seeing anything of note in the first place. This looks like fun on some systems, but on anything real I'm inclined to just stick to cutting down on log spam via single packet auth or a port knocker or the like. The old outrun-the-hiker-not-the-bear aphorism fits a lot of cases, just something to keep in mind before implementing something like this if you aren't directly experimenting with more active reactions.

Conversely as a research project I'm now actually curious what sort of extra attention even something like this could attract. Maybe these days everyone would just adapt and move on instead and the above is all obsolete?
Well, I guess alignment doesn't say anything about how large of a block is allocated.... And this is the clearest source I can find, which says 32 bytes. https://prog21.dadgum.com/179.html
For what it's worth, I work on research that will ultimately define the rules for package delivering drones and Uber air taxis (both of which fall under the umbrella term "Urban Air Mobility"). Even as I work on these things, I have serious doubts about their technical and economic feasibility, but I'm fairly certain that there will be a regulatory framework (in the US anyway) in place within the next decade to allow them if they are otherwise viable.

Incidentally, it would cost you ~$10k-20k to get a sport pilot's license, but that would basically allow you to own and operate a non-autonomous flying car today if it were technically and economically feasible.
I thought so too ... but everyone I work with at other companies has switched to zoom in the last 24 months ... so it really feels like the last install needed for teleconferencing. And it's far better than the web-based solutions.
Those sound like abnormally severe reactions, though in some locations life in jail or prison is much more severe - but in most of the U.S. it's not the violent, drug fueled rape-fest popular media might have you believe.

I spent 7 years in prison, most of it in a maximum security facility. I once spent 3 straight weeks on 23 hours cell confinement - no tv, no books, no other people aside from a guard walking by doing rounds. The other 1 hour was allowed in essentially just a larger cell.

I've known many other inmates - before, during, and after incarceration. No one was keen on going back, but I don't know anyone who developed any significant PTSD from their experiences, and no one who would choose literally death over re-incarceration.

I did know one guy who got PTSD after being shot 7 times by the police for trying to drive away from them. None from being in jail for a few months, though.
Not a super hip site but boondockerswelcome.com has been around for a while. It seems mostly targeted toward the boomer/florida snowbird crowd.
A person with normal hair growth can choose to be bald. Someone with alopecia cannot choose the reverse. If baldness were to appear only by choice rather than as a result of low IGF-1 expression in hair follicles, I would imagine it would be more respectable, not less.
There have been many such people. You have to do it stealthily though, because if Google finds out, it has to kick you off campus due to zoning issues.

Any support the company gave is in the long past now.
Good point. I think the game you should play when entering an argument is finding the truth. I think what I was trying to say was that if someone changes the game by arguing in bad faith (and for the sake of the point, undoubtedly so), you should note that and point it out or play along.
Union representation will probably bring up the compensation of the worst workers and lower the compensation of the top workers, so senior employees are right to fight the unionization effort.

This is FUD. Professional unions establish minimum pay but place no upper bounds on salary.

To drive home the point: Dwayne Johnson and that guy who was an extra in the background of that coffee shop scene are both members of SAG-AFTRA. Do you really thing Dwayne Johnson got paid the same as that rando?
