> It's much easier to acquire things than unacquire them

That's a good point. I wish it was easier. I have a lot of things in my home I'd like to get rid of and which still could be of use to someone else. I'd gladly sell them for a dollar or two each, but at that price point it isn't even worth the time I'm spending writing this HN comment, much less putting it up on an auction, paying the processing fee, and mailing it to someone. I could give them away for free on one of the local giveaway/exchange groups, but the very thought of getting someone to drive a couple kilometers to pick up a dollar-item makes me cringe - it's a ridiculously anti-environmental practice.

It's one of the reasons I tend to put not-completely-destroyed things on a side of a trash container in our neighbourhood - a local dumpster diver may appreciate it and get extra mileage from things I no longer need.
My mathematical training is mainly from the category theory school of thought (more specifically the set theory inspiring category theory school of thought) and I have to say that I find it difficult to move from category theory to functional programming. I think it's because mathematics is more about a way of thinking than about the tools.

For example, reading category theory introductions meant for programmers to me is confusing, even though I know the mathematics already! I still need to get around to Milewski's book which looks to be dually useful as "functional programming for category theorists".

I don't know anything about AMP, so I'm genuinely amazed that one could create bugs in it that just downright break hyper references.

Maybe that's going to be added later, but so far I'm not seeing any practical benefit.
True ( I didn't know! ), but is damn 30 years!! I'm not sure that they last so long, especially the gas-based.

Brilliant! Cool to see the two paradigms side-by-side.

If there was a similar puzzle that had more than one solution, would it be straight-forward to do that using for loops as well in Python? (Curious if you can do backtracking that way)
It's not just about that, it's more about signal to noise ratio and the impact of their stories. When one deliberately adds a spin to specific categories of news, it's easy to prove them manipulative and thus, not trustworthy. The fact that they currently report correctly on the things outside of their agenda is not that relevant since it's just a matter of time before it becomes their agenda as well. Media should strive for objectivity.
Working on big frontend apps is painful, upgrade paths are painful, deprecating packages is painful, testing and debugging is painful.
As with microservices, you don't start with 1000 services, but logically being able to split them when needed.
"delivery overheads to these approaches" as a matter of fact it's harder to deploy monoliths (as all the parts have to sync) than with microfrontends (that follow semver). As each group can have independent deployments.

If your employer doesn't provide the tools you need it's time to talk to them about how much time you lose due to crappy hardware and how many hours of your salary would pay for a better machine.
Aside PowerShell already mentioned before, Windows had system-wide scripting since Windows 98 (some parts since Win95) with windows automation and active scripting that allowed any application to expose COM objects and interfaces for manipulation by other applications either directly (via COM calls) or via active scripting, which provided pluggable scripting languages so that you could use any scripting language - JScript and VBScript provided by default - to access any compatible COM server. In addition applications could also expose and host reusable controls (initially known as OLE controls, later rebranded as ActiveX controls) and some applications (such as Office and Visual Basic) were made explicitly to allow composing applications out of such reusable controls (Visual Basic since version 4 was basically a scripting environment for COM).

The two main issues with the above was that because it was made to be interoperable with any native language that had support for functions and structs, it was complex to do it right and only expensive (meaning, difficult to acquire for many developers) tools could help you with that. And, really, another issue was that most developers simply didn't appreciate the flexibility and composability it offered (they still don't, see how no Linux environment provides even something like Windows 3.1's OLE, let alone something like COM).
That hasn't been true since the release of Ryzen in 2017. The reason why AMD is lagging behind in single core performance is because Intel CPUs can be clocked higher. Often to 5GHz. Whereas AMD usually only boosts to somewhere around 4.4GHz. Gamers care about a 12% difference. Servers usually don't even go beyond 3GHz.

How to get near-realtime logs for a Terraform-managed Lambda function
Yes! I’ve been having this issue for days but assumed it was just me. It is particularly frustrating for sites like Reddit where the AMP version is too aggressively cached and misses most of the recent comments.
Because the transactional paperwork can already be filled out, even by real estate lawyers, for a couple grand today. No one is paying 5% for that, even though would-be disrupters talk about it that way. Think about what it would take to transfer your house to a family member, assuming it was paid off. That paperwork would be ~$500 per lawyer involved. Anything more that you're paying for an arms-length sale transaction isn't related to the paperwork processing part of it, IMO.

What's really being paid for is access to MLS, advertising, labor to drive people around, maintaining the brokers office, people on both sides who talk crazy people off the ledge and keep deals together when someone is flipping out over a $1000 repair one way or the other.

Even when you "went online", I bet you found the house via a paid insertion into MLS (most likely) or a real estate advertising site. Why did you go there? Because that's where the houses for sale are. Why do people pay so much to put their house in MLS? Because that's where the buyers go to search to come up with their short-list of houses to go visit. Why should MLS listings be so expensive? Because they've built the marketplace. Same as why Amazon or Ebay can charge so much.
And whilst its impossible to police effectively the datasets on various forums, it seems KPMG and Troy Hunt are just not aware of the fact that GDPR exists. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regula...

Its quite interesting putting in various peoples email addresses to see what sites they are linked to. Maybe once he has made some money out of it, a GDPR claim and financial settlement can be made as he's made no steps to control the data privacy of Europeans.

Ask HN: Anyone know how to turn off damn Video Autoplay in Firefox 67?
VIDEO, not audio muted or turned off. Id really like to ditch google/chromium, opera has shitty tab handling, firefox I used before.

But this, videos always auto-play, even when about:config set media.autoplay to 1 and muted etc, Ive tried all settings.

Nothing stops videos from being auto-played post Firefox 65. I dont care about audio, there is anyway not a sound-card in this laptop.

Does anyone have a solution? An extension? A fork?
This is good. A proof that current computing model isn't the only one for computation.

I'd recommend getting a drivers license anyway. It opens up some opportunities + will come in handy if, at some point, you decide to move to more rural areas.

Having lived almost my entire life in 1M city, I don't have one either, but I recently moved to a ~15k city and this is forcing me to finally get that license.

> I bought a non-Apple hypercardish environment that ran on Windows 3.1 .

Out of curiosity, was that Asymetrix ToolBook? The original was neat and very HyperCard-ish, although for some reason they pushed later versions as an e-learning application even though there wasn't anything specific about it (e.g. some people used it to make multimedia CDs). And last time i checked it, even decades later, it has bugs that existed ever since the first version.
Desktops are dwarfed by mobiles devices. AFAICT a linux kernel variant is present on most of the world's smartphones (with most of the rest being iOS devices, which I know little about), though you've addressed that by saying Google are pushing to reduce the impact of C underlying their system.

I don't want to make a song and dance about C being awesome or anything - we've certainly got massive issues with allowing that extreme amount of flexibility without ensuring that the developer really, really means what they've just told the machine to do - but it's hardly a small enclave that's holding out, it's still huge.

And there are still companies developing in it. I've seen a sort-of-microservices-in-C-implemented-as-a-sort-of-supersized-cgi-bin approach relatively recently.

And yes it was an abomination!
If you are actually moving a lot this might be true. Otherwise probably not and most people renting aren't moving anywhere and just need to get by.

Paying rent isn't that much lower than pay off a loan. And in one case you actually end up with property. Additionally, people invest much more in their own homes than rented property.

I am not in the US with a high property tax, but I believe this to be true almost universally.

Of course, you always pay a price if you commit to anything.

The official announcement is quite an understatement. This release is big, especially the changes to the collections standard library and compiler performance will have a lot of positive impact overall.

This. It's my biggest peave that FP advocacy is now so wrapped up in Haskell and allusion of category theory based enlightenment. It sometimes feels a little like some of the old schools template shenanigans you could get up with C++, ostensible it was all so generic and reusable but in reality all it useful did was massage your ego by helping you feel really clever.
I assume there's some central communication system so I'd first ask my boss or whoever I report to if it's appropriate to drop a message in the company's general slack channel or send a big e-mail or whatever. Perhaps they'll recommend you introduce yourself to a smaller team first or wait until an all-hands video call.

Introduce your job role, where you've come on from, what you'll be working on, who you report to, etc, maybe mention some hobbies or some extra unique fact about you. I'd keep that last part to 1 or 2 points but I think the key is to come up with a future talking point when you're speaking to people for the first time.

From the cultural angle: I don't know how many Americans you know but I generally find them to be quite a friendly bunch so I'm sure whatever you say will be appropriate so long as it's positive and upbeat.

Actual paper here:
https://www.elementascience.org/article/10.1525/elementa.358...

My conclusions:

* A carbon tax would be nice to incentivize accountability around net- greenhouse gas contributions.

* This paper does quite a bit of probabilistic inference here. They conclude, for example, that the ~two orders of magnitude difference in emissions implies the model is working. ( https://www.elementascience.org/article/10.1525/elementa.358... ) This isn't super surprising since they're trying to measure methane emissions ~a km away from the source, but should measure our expectations.

Also, the whole dataset is available here (https://oneshare.cdlib.org/stash/dataset/doi:10.15146/R3WT2N) if anyone is interested. Props to the authors for including it.

It will let you through eventually, even when intentionally selecting wrong fields, when you do it often enough.
A feedback so that others will think clear before providing a comment, because I saw lot of comments asking for proof on how your project is better, whether it is computationally correct or not.

Here is my suggestion. Let me know whether it makes sense or i misunderstood the project. I tried my best to explain it, please don't hesitate to correct my understanding.

Wiki page can have an introduction in form of an animated video or images that depicts comparison between typical computing model and yours.

1. What's the current computing about ? - binary -> input (processing )output -> input + (neural processing) + output -> quantum.

2. How is your computing changed from that ? The way I see it, we can build and solve problems in a different paradigm.
>> The official line has been that saturated fat causes heart disease, and that replacing fat in packaged goods with sugar was ok. This is why we have candy in the United States proudly labeling itself as a “fat free food”, and we used to have marketing campaigns touting the weight loss benefit of sugar.

Did US public health organisations actually recommend replacing fat with sugars? I find this very surprising, if it is the case. I wouldn't be surprised if that was instead a practice adopted by industry, despite and against official recommendations.

For example, Wikipedia tells me that diet Coke was first sold in 1982. That must mean that there was, already, a clear awareness of the detrimental effect of sugar, and sugary drinks in particular, on health. That awareness can't have come from the soft drinks industry itself so it must have come from public health officials.

Does this really fall foul of GDPR? I would have guessed that once your data is in the wild, there is nothing in GDPR that applies. GDPR puts certain responsibilities on groups you give your data to treat that data in certain ways in terms of who it is shared with, which would not seem to apply to someone offering a lookup of an in the wild dataset.

I'm curious if my naive understanding of this is wrong.
I think this is both good news and bad news.

Most of the global warming work is based off the amount of methane estimated to be in the atmosphere, which can be determined with sampling and spectroscopy. This particular piece of research tells us where some of that is coming from, and fortunately it's from a few concentrated sites that are under human control. We could lean on them to fix it. Chemical processing sites already try to control methane leakage because it's explosive in air.

The bad news is that we probably won't. We have enough trouble with flaring: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-4... (my pet complaint, not only because it's a nuisance but because they've wasted in a year as much gas as I personally will use in 50,000 years, which makes reducing my personal consumption seem a bit pointless)

You left out the part where the paper states that it's still an open problem whether hypercomputation is physically realisable.

If some device can solve the Halting Problem, then it can solve every single unsolved mathematical conjecture that can be encoded as a Turing machine that halts if the conjecture is true (so about all of them?). This is an insanely bold claim, so please forgive the scepticism.
