To those downvoting the above comment... The following video is a bit long, but does go over quite a bit of the misdirection/misinformation from the large pharma and agriculture industries. A lot of this has been relatively well documented.

There has never been any reliable study or controlled experiment indicating that dietary cholesterol or saturated fat are the causes of anything negative. Sugar and refined grains have a MUCH higher correlation (higher than even early smoking studies). High fructose intake in particular has been a leading issue.

Ask HN: Why does Heroku support less known JVM languages?
Lately, I have been coming across Heroku tutorials and resources as I am learning Clojure. Knowing how big and popular Heroku is, makes me wonder why they support non-mainstream languages like Clojure. You could also say that Kotlin and Scala are less popular than the others web dev languages they support as well. I just wonder, why actively support such a small community like Clojure?

It makes me think that they possibly derive more revenue from resource-hungry JVM languages and that might be a big reason.

Do you have any theories or data?
Which are you honestly more worried about? Someone abusing the system to know where you are when, or not having a system in place when some lawless asshole decides to start doing very nasty things to people and/or property?

We immigrated back. You made the right call. I’m a US citizen and my spouse is still waiting on her GC and at this point we’re seriously debating packing up and moving. Even with the parole they give you ominous warnings about traveling without the green card. When we submitted her application we were told 6 months. That has been extended to 18 and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s 36.

If you're developing something novel and it's not deployed as it's completed you risk a competitor beating you to market. As well as this, the time between having a product or feature complete and ready for release equates to lost revenue. The ideal is to have all aspects of the project completed and ready for deployment (actual feature, supporting documentation, training materials, marketing campaigns and materials, etc.) at the same time to maximise possible revenue.

I wonder if the pricing structure will be the same for taxis and ride sharing cars. I'd hope so, but something tells me the taxi lobbyists probably worked out a better deal.
If it's cheaper than real meat... it doesn't surprise me at all.
I think this is also a big issue in state optimization of where to build trains. It is impossible[1] to build a speculative train route to try and gauge possibility so expansion tends to be quite conservative and slow, which is well warranted - additionally there are some compounding usage factors that make line placement hard even for buses.

If a new bus line is made available users are likely going to slowly convert to using it - and an area with good bus service is going to encourage residents[1] that want to take advantage of that service.

[1] In the history of the US, for example, train stations literally grew their own demand in many cases, causing non-existent or tiny towns to grow due to the availability of service.

Full and frequent blood tests continually measured low ferritin, but since hematocrit and hemoglobin (and all other) levels were within range, three separate primary physicians and my psychiatrist all indicated there was no problem. I took it upon myself (after ‘internet research’) to gradually get off all the meds prescribed over the course of three years (klonopin, alprazolam, gabapentin, mirtazapine, sertraline, and others) and start supplementation with two basic minerals obtained from WalMart. I felt wonderful almost immediately, and ever since.

You seem to be saying that unless a significant fraction of their students end up at FAANG companies then recruiters will not care whether "Lambda School" is on a resume. Is there anything Lambda could do to change your mind on this point? For example, suppose they submitted their graduates' CVs to 100 job ads, but for 50 randomly chosen ads removed any reference to Lambda from the CV, then reported a significant difference in response rate...?

> I have no idea whether Lambda school is effective

Similarly, might an A/B test persuade you on this point? Suppose Lambda identified 100 applicants who met their admission criteria, but 50 were rejected at random, then Lambda reported a significant difference in the median income of each group over the next two years...?
There is no market for this, which is why you can't find it. The vast majority of people who want a phone/text device but don't want browsers, emails, MySpace, or app stores simply ignore those features.

The debate existed then, I quote Dijkstra:

"It is practically impossible to teach good programming to students that have had a prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration."

I never got to own a Jupiter Ace or to have a go at FORTH. I don't think the options were 'BASIC or FORTH', neither do I think that computers had to have 4K of ROM and 1K of RAM by the time the 8 bit microprocessors came along in the hobby era. Sure 8K of anything cost more than a paltry 4K but were those machines with 4K ROM of BASIC and 1K of RAM useful for anything whatsoever?

The ZX81 with 1K just mentally mutilated programmers, other than that you learned that you needed more memory.

Your first programming language constrains how you think, I was deeply wedded to the 'GOTO' concept and could not understand how a program could work without line numbers. BASIC took me a long way off the object-oriented paradigm!

Anyway, thanks for grumbling about my sweeping statement - that I still stand by - I have now found some Dijkstra that is totally relevant to today and how web development has gone:

Trains aren't hurricane proof either so we can take those right off the table. Of the rest, it takes very exceptional storms to blockade an airport for more than a few minutes. Delays that occur because of snow and fog are not because the commercial airliners can't fly in those conditions, but because the ground infrastructure can't clear the snow quickly enough, or because the reduction in visibility means increasing separation requirements on approach to landing and therefore reduces overall throughput. In places where it snows a lot there exists sufficient infrastructure to handle it (Chicago, Denver, Moscow). Even thunderstorms are not typically a big problem for commercial airliners and their airports; the controllers declare holds while the storm passes directly overhead and they're back in business in under an hour. And hubs that systematically are hammered by storms aren't hubs for much longer, a luxury that any railroad executive would kill for.

This is particularly impressive if you compare average airliner delays to average Amtrak delays.

Modern airliners are remarkably good at handling typical bad weather.

Because 70% of Syrian refugees have sold the aid they've been given to buy what they actually need. We're tackling the challenge of how you get cash to people in regions where there's very low levels of financial inclusion.

Since going live in September 2018, we've used our Ethereum based platform to help deliver cash aid to over 1500 vulnerable people in places like Iraqi Kurdistan, Lebanon and Greece.

The same goes for meditating and "retreat centers". Enligthing, leisure, and chilling effects is not what everyone gets. Population isn't equal, and psychic sideeffects up to dramatic psychotic consequences for individual cases are known for a long period of time.

But please do not exaggerate your own disposition on the rest of the populatio n of the planet. Visual descriptions of such dramatic situations could fear the shit out of nice people, just wanting to talk to you, or just smoke a spliff while you talk.

I mean, i am happy you have your problems with psychotic drugs under control, but you cannot save people from that, because if they knew they had that disposition they wouldn't use it in the first place.

> It's not all that different from a database, though.

Indeed! I'm tempted to coin a variant of Greenspun's Tenth Rule: any sufficiently complicated program contains an ad-hoc, informally specified, bug-ridden, incomplete implementation of a database engine.

> There are benefits but they come with downsides

Downsides relative to what? The downsides listed are all in common with traditional pointer-based references, so I would argue that garbage collection is rather orthogonal to the question of storing indices instead of pointers. Any allocation comes out of a memory arena of some kind, be it an explicit vector of slots or the implicitly-defined standard heap. The tools for solving these problems are the same in all cases.

Certainly, Rust's references avoid all of the problems you listed. Rust pointers essentially embed the semantics of a garbage collector at compile-time [0], in the domain where ownership patterns can be strictly verified. But nodes within a graph are already a poor fit for the ownership model -- the entity that "owns" a node is really the graph itself, not its neighbors -- so that's the level of granularity at which Rust's references are useful. You need something else within the scope of the graph.

EDIT: On reflection, you might be referring to a language like Java which has an ambient global garbage collector. Indeed, using indices instead of pointers means you're on your own -- you've allocated the memory arena through the standard means, but then you take on the responsibility of managing that memory yourself. This is a fair criticism! Purely in my experience, data modeled as a loose graph of directly-related objects is a lot more difficult to understand and maintain than data modeled indirectly using some form of identifier -- mostly because of the effects I mentioned in my earlier post on associating new information to an entity.

It certainly will cause people to leave. There’s a really high demand for walkability (that’s one reason cities like SF, NYC and Seattle are so pricey). As such, I have a feeling many more people will move in — especially as the city becomes less hostile for those on foot, on bike or transit.

Why are you comparing modern airliners to archaic rail systems? Amtrak is far from the shining example of modern rail.
