All people suffer. Discrimination also creates suffering.
I always click through to these announcements on HN, hoping to hear people talk about real projects (professional, hobby, or whatever) they are doing with this interesting language.

Please share if you have any!

Back in ancient times, I used Ruby to make web apps and tools, but eventually realized that when it's my choice to make, I'm just not smart enough to choose a programming language that doesn't give me powerful robot helpers like a strong type system (with inference please!), as-you-type static analysis, and the polished tooling and autocomplete functionality that derives from those.

So these days, I work mostly in Swift and TypeScript. But neither of them has the pretty, poetic concision that I thought good Ruby code had. (Although Swift comes a lot closer than TypeScript, which is constrained by its (nonetheless great) decision to be a superset of JavaScript).

So I still miss Ruby sometimes, because of that lack.

Crystal looks like it meets my above requirements for the standard squad of tireless cybernetic servants working alongside me to help me write better code, and also looks like it goes a long way toward letting people write beautiful code.

So who's actually using it, and for what?

I wonder why some countries (like India) have so much diversity, while others (like Russia) have so little...
Even the Hindiest of the Hindi-speaking people, e.g. in Uttarakhand say "zaroor".

You will only find someone like a Hindi teacher or a priest using a word like "avashya" when they're trying to signal that they are educated and thus speaking in the 'pure' register. In the natural language of Hindi, the word used is 'zaroor'. Using 'avashya' is speaking a conlang, pretty much.
I think it's hard to do just side-by-side comparison. Just imagine you just go back to 90s and convince C++ fans using Java.

They are all general purpose programming languages, just with some better/different design decisions to make things safer or relatively more/less expressive.

Similarly, the difficulty to explain Monad is Monad itself is pretty abstract and general. You can describe what it is, but it's hard to guarantee what the audience get from you. Someone says it can solve asynchronous programming issues, then someone will think it's something just for solving this kind of issues. Same as solving null pointer exceptions. After all, it's an abstract representation of sequencing computations with effectful context. But the last one is much harder to understand than the formers.

An equivalent thing is expressing the concept of the "variable" to a mathematical audience who never heard of a computer. They can definitely understand part of it, but not what you want to express.
Azure Cloud Shell Tips for SysAdmins (Bash)
Strongly disagree. As our abilities to store, process, and generate information about our reality advance, stagnant epochs will surely become shorter and sparser as we approach what ultimately represents the so called singularity. Innovation continues to accelerate, and humans are already developing novel computing technologies and architectures to surpass the limits of current designs.

The rates of technological and scientific development have arguably been increasing since the dawn of mankind[1]. I figure if we see any major progress in life extension in the next 50-80 years, there's a nonzero chance that some people alive today may live long enough to effectively acquire some form of immortality.

"White people" is very racist because it discriminates between humans. It's just as racist as "that Redskin" or "Black people". Humans are humans, levels of Melatonin shouldn't play a role.

The person who made the statement that it was "White people" was very much discriminating in that "us versus them" way: "White people" are causing gentrification, therefore it's their fault. Not their education, skills and work experience and therefore better paid jobs are causing it, but because they're White. It's that group. That's discrimination.

These are official government sanctioned institutions practicing text book Hindi. I have used it in classrooms too. This language is never used in the streets. Differing choice of nouns perfectly intelligible to each other doesn't even constitute a different dialect, much less a different language. There are cultural and scriptural differences and an effort to use more Sanskrit words in Hindi literature starting 150 years ago and an effort to use Persian words by Mughal courtiers words going back even further. I know several people from the Hindi heartland and absolutely noone uses pustak in place of kitaab or ullas in place of khushi, unless they want to be laughed at. That language belongs to classrooms, dramas and to a lesser extent Hindi literature. Just listen to this interview of mayawati.

https://youtu.be/X8tbH-TCyqA

She uses awaaz, nafrat and afsos as well as English words and claims to be speaking Hindi. Is she wrong? Is she not from the heartland? Is she actually speaking Urdu? If you use these words like of Dil instead of hriday in an academic exam you will lose points, but that is an exercise in linguistic politics that any true student of language has no time for.

I understand that Hindi and Urdu are taught as distinct languages in India and there is an ongoing effort to bifurcate the nouns used in both systems but this effort has been largely unsuccessful amongst actual speakers of Hindi. They have succeeded with news anchors, plays, newspapers etc. But not anywhere else.
Same difference, really.

I think Apple has the right formula. The do put the effort in to maintain back compat to a certain point, but they also aggressively deprecate and remove within a few years of the arrival of a replacement technology. So you get the benefit of things not suddenly breaking, with the benefit of the whole ecoystem moving forwards. If that means old unmaintained software is left behind, then so be it. The right balance I think.
Cache is also an extremely limited resource and the more you waste the less other programs have to work with, slowing them down too, some of what your program pushes out of the cache could be slowing down disk and network processing. There's a tragedy of the commons effect happening in our CPU's.

That doesn't mean it's always worth otimising for, but it's worth remembering yours isn't the only process running.
Would Apple be in the wrong simply being opinionated about using Homebrew?
I don't know what he's done, but I think an obvious use case is this grid list: https://codepen.io/anon/pen/xNNXBR

Basically, a list of items arranged in a grid where the number of columns is dynamic depending on the width, items are wrapped dynamically from left to right, each column consumes the maximum amount of space, there's a fixed gap between columns, and the last row is aligned left, not stretched. I had to build one recently, and it was a perfect fit for grid.
That already exists with the Basic, Advanced and Pro editions of some application software. Extending that paradigm to a game is just a matter of determining which expansion packs are preinstalled.

Currency deflation is bad because it causes people to hoard cash in a mattress because it will be worth more tomorrow than the returns on equally safe investments. Then you get underinvestment and economic collapse, which causes more deflation, which causes more currency hoarding. It spirals into a depression.

But that's caused by the value of the currency increasing relative to everything else. "Deflation" in the price of products in a single industry is basically the source of all growth. It's what happens when you make something more efficient. And it doesn't cause anybody to have any reason to hoard cash in a mattress, because it's not the cash that's worth more -- it still buys the same amount of wheat or land -- it's only the computer chips that lose their value. Which just causes people to not hoard manufactured computer chips as an investment, which there is no apparent benefit in anybody doing anyway. (Maybe it would ensure that we have a stock of computer chips available to rely on in a chip shortage, so then instead we get a big price spike when severe weather strikes a major manufacturing region, but that's about it.)

And the lower prices don't even necessarily hurt the industry, because they're a result of lower costs. So the companies are still moving product at a profit, but now at the lower price there is more demand and they move more product. Selling a billion of something for $1 each is more profitable than selling a thousand of them for $100,000 each with the same profit margin percentage. Apple today makes a whole lot more money than IBM did in 1970.

That certainly wasn't the impression that I meant to give with my comment. So I can write more clearly in the future, can you tell me what I said that made you think that I'm claiming Nazis aren't racist?

I just think it seems overly simplistic to the point of being almost nonsensical to say that WW2 was caused by white supremacism. White supremacism certainly didn't make Japan invade China. While I'm no expert, at the very least I can say that the Wikipedia article for "Causes of World War II" seems in agreement with what I said— while racism played a role, facism/militarism and plain old nationalist expansionism were much bigger factors.
Your belief that everything could just be solved with renewables is incredibly naive. It's simply not proven that it can be done yet. And even renewables produce a lot of CO2. Even if they produce less than fossile fuels, the needs for 11 Billion people would be significant.

A richer lifestyle means more CO2.

I don't even know where you get your beliefs from, that CO2 neutral life would be easy and cheap.

As for counteracting phenomena: again, it is not a law of nature that birth rates drop as people get wealthier. Even now for example there are subgroups in wealthy nations that still have high birth rates. I'm not saying it WILL happen, just that it can. And 50 years are not a very long timespan to observe to be assured about the effect of dropping birth rates.

In their defense: it is perfectly fine with me to keep my location data, so I can download it later and do cool and/or useful things with it as long as

- it is opt in,

- it can be deleted by me

- is not given to anyone else

For all my trashing of Google lately (check my comment history) I actually expect and belive them to defend my raw data in a way that few others are able to. It all boils down to incentives:

- as long as they keep the data between them and me they can sell targeted ads again and again. If the data leaks then others can skip the middle man.

- as long as they keep their reputation as nice guys that is an immense advantage.

Now this might of course be changing, so everyone should consider if they personally trust this arrangement going for the future:

- it seems some part of the organization is tightening the screws around the Chrome team to squeeze out more revenue.

- of the data is available there is always the risk of attacks both cyber attacks as well as legal attacks.
I see it as the neoliberal revolution has failed to deliver and it's apologists are grasping at straws to avoid staring down the damage they have done to the bulk humanity. They'll also say things like well it was bad for people living the Midwest but look at all the Chinese lifted out of poverty. Ignoring that China was too large and coherent to beat into submission like smaller countries were. And thus they didn't inflict those policies on their people.

From my understanding, Anarchists look at an power structure and ask how does it legitimize it's existence. If it was put in place by the people and not some unaccountable body, then it is ok to have it, otherwise it needs to be dismantled and or replaced. (This is a very, very simplified look at a very narrow aspect of anarchism of course.)

For example a lot of decisions in Anarchist communities will be driven by arriving at consensus of all concerned by the decision, instead of a "mob rule of the majority" like in Democratic voting process.

The way you arrive at the decision is a bureaucratic process if you will, that the community has agreed upon.

That's my take on it
How would we know if that were too much? What if you were to describe the amount of energy consumed by the airline industry? Or all of the world's motorcycles? Would that be more or less than Denmark? And if it were more than Denmark's energy consumption, is that okay? Certainly more people benefit from the world's motorcycles or airplanes than just the population of Denmark, so why is that the reference? IMO including an arbitrary reference like some country's power consumption is the stuff of clickbait headlines, not useful discussion.

IMO a more constructive discussion point might be: "the power consumption required for Bitcoin's proof-of-work is 15x that of the power consumption of: { the equities markets + banking + US Treasury + EU Treasury }." The number I've cited is arbitrary, it could easily be 1/15 of that, for all I know. But normalizing the energy in terms of the related/baseline industry makes sense and would make for a clearer conversation on the topic.

Disease can be spread by more ways than simple food-animal-to-food-animal contact. For example, bovine TB kills cows but doesn't kill badgers, so a badger can spread it between herds. You can't stop that by isolating the cows.

There was a very controversial cull of badgers here in an attempt to stop it but even that didn't work.

My country used to have a direct border with the USSR. We'd much rather have NATO defensive instalations and troops on our territory, rather than Russian tanks and little green men with guns. The last time that happened we had 50 years of communism, the USSR took away several parts of our territory, effectively plundered our country's resources and invaded neighbouring countries in order to "restore order".

From my childhood -and this would be around 1970 - I remember a huge and sudden infestation of ladybugs. For the probably two days it lasted, lawns were tinted red, the air - also out over the water - was visibly red-misted, you couldn't walk anywhere without stepping on the critters, you couldn't quite escape the buzzing and the sound of what sounded like munching, and everywhere was an iron-like smell, some what reminiscent of peas (I can't quite describe it, but to this day the right kind of odour will remind me of ladybugs).
And let me tell you: They bite! Walk outside uncovered, they would alight on your skin and start nibbling, not terribly painful, but enough so be unpleasant.

This was Northern Europe. I have seen swarms since then, but nothing remotely compared to that massive outbreak.

I have a question. Does anyone know why insects sometimes go so high? I went to Chicago last year and I went to the top of the Hancock building and I went to top floor, the observatory, to look out and see the surrounding area. And a dragonfly flew by outside. Why would it be up that high? What's the point? There is nothing up there. On the wide open plains of the west, there are not many reasons for insects to go so high, so why do they?
