Option 1 will take a long time. Writing a libc takes a long time, and transitioning the whole of Google codebase to a new libc takes even longer to iron out all of the incompatibilities.

If one goes with option 2, he/she may have many more achievements to write on his/her promotion packet during the time he/she would have spent implementing a new libc. So I hardly think promotion is the incentive here.

There exists a metastable isotope of hafnium which is able to undergo stimulated emission, producing gamma ray laser light. There was some controversy of wheter x-rays could also stimulate this emission but that isn't a prerequisite for light amplificafion in this case.

Gamma ray optics is difficult because of the short wavelengths but refraction has been demonstrated at very oblique angles. Fiber optics also has very oblique angles for its total internal reflection. Doped fiber lasers is a well-know field with lots of industrial application.

Producing metastable hafnium can be done with e.g. a cyclotron. It is not very efficient, but for an extreme existential threat it is probably not insurmountable. Hafnium produced in this way could be used a nuclear bomb which isn't actually regulated by treaties, so there is even more controversy to navigate than just that from academia. There is no neutron flux between nuclei. All the energy is stored in the metastable structure inside the nuclei.

Unlike regular fiber lasers there would be no pumping once the fiber is installed. Instead it would come pre-charged and be single-use. Its shelf-life isn't indefinite.
Maybe a better way of stating it is, no longer busy with children, where millenials are busy with that as a distraction.

Sure, a shop can do what you describe even in German laws - every now and then.

However, if you do it systematically, if you offered that "special day" discount also yesterday and will offer it tomorrow then it's de facto the regular price, telling that it's valid only today is literally a lie, violates false advertising law (which goes into detail on how discounts can be advertised, so simply gaming it with definitions doesn't wowrk) and would get your store fined so hard for lying to customers.

Yes, misleading people to drive them over the edge works, that's the whole point. If it didn't work then we wouldn't care, but since it does work we as a society have chosen that we don't want that and merchants aren't going to be allowed to use such practices.
The point is that even reducing our lives experience to few abstractions like happiness makes them a limited view of what’s going on (via millions of years of our evolution)

If abstractions were successful at addressing issues, the self-help industry would have eliminated unhappiness.

Our thinking is linear, we abstract rich phenomena into few categories that we can verbalise our understand. In that process, richness is lost.

The Other Windows: GeoWorks. Its story, AOL, its death, and its extra lives
I don’t have any particular need to defend the posting, but I disagree with your take, as I think you’re not aware of how subjective your opinion is, and there are more target groups than what you seem to focus on.

> This post is not for beginners/non-haskellers, I don't understand why it's being posted here.

Plenty of interesting topics related to specific languages get posted here all the time, I am under no assumption that 100% of HN is haskellers, but there is still enough that people find it worthwhile to share and upvote on here.

> Is this intentional or are people in the haskell community this tone deaf?

Why would you blame the community on this? If anything, the need to create rifts with comments like yours, is something the community deeply needs to move on from.

The reason for the posting is that it’s an interesting exploration of type holes and their usefulness. As you may have noticed several places in this thread, the concept that the more polymorphic the type, the more restricted you actually are, seems to have peaked interest and opened some eyes to new concepts.

> It's like we're determined to prevent new people from joining.

Not at all. What people find interesting is very subjective, and one of the things I sorely miss from daily working in other languages, is being able to work with the compiler as a pal that helps you out. This post demonstrates one way to make Haskell work for you, and if you’ve honestly read the post, Sandy does a good job of explaining the concept on simpler functions.

> If you are using Coyoneda in your code, please do not use it to extol the virtues of Haskell, except if you're sure your audience is expert haskellers/mathematicians/researchers/others who can actually gain something from the post, or if the writing is so sublime that it has reduced the complexity to near zero.

Sorry, but I’m starting to feel like you didn’t read the article, but maybe just the comments here. At no point did the post care about Coyoneda. It started out with demonstrating how a complex piece of code could be reached with the method (type holes), and then went on to demonstrate the method on simpler code, removing the need to know anything else. If you focused on understanding the first piece of code, then you’ve completely missed the authors intent.

> Please OP, you're actively hurting the adoption of Haskell by posting stuff like this in the wrong places/context.

That’s a fair opinion to have, but not one I can agree with at all. With a wealth of languages to pick from, why should anyone pick Haskell? Some of what drives people’s interest are these demonstrations of what is possible, when you have a more expressive type system. That are tons of other reasons too, but as a “selling point”, it’s not “look how simple Haskell code can look”, because that is sure as sh*t like lying people straight up in their face—that’s not where Haskell differentiates itself.

I’ll close out with adding that Polysemy is very cool, and I’m personally looking forward to seeing it ready for usage :)
Reading the letter of the message rather than the intent...

Yes in terms of raw $, you are right. As it's meant to be read (profitable and stable? within that industry).
I personally see Brickerbot as the IoT version of Shodan. Port scanning and probing is considered illegal and immoral in many countries around the world yet Shodan has made the Internet more secure, by opening access to port scanning and making it impossible for companies to just "hide" new tools.

I'd prefer to see ISPs/governments taking action against dangerous IoT devices in their network (sending probes to vulnerable devices and blocking Internet access until the owners of the devices have secured their shit or provide proof of running a honeypot). We can't really expect such measures from companies right now, but a tool like Brickerbot might kickstart a movement.

I'd prefer the bot to just change the password and disable vulnerable services though (which still might brick devices if their web servers are vulnerable). Still, I do believe that why device fallen to Brickerbot would have fallen to any other botnet within days anyway, so the botnet is not inherently bad in my opinion.

This problem should stary disappearing as soon as legislation is introduced by governments to make the parties producing software or hardware responsible for the stuff they dump on the open market. Until then, steps have to be taken to stop DDoS attacks as they are getting worse and worse.
The fake urgency is if the discount is available every day. And that's generally considered misleading advertising in the UK at least.

If you want an example: https://www.asa.org.uk/rulings/j-sainsbury-plc-a17-404229.ht...

Rotating a price between £4 and £3 every 21 days was considered to be misleading.

The Ballad of Perl – Stephen Scaffidi
This is a very difficult problem. Aging is emotionally painful.

I think it is insane that in our societies (Western, I am not American) we prolong the age of retirement. I believe it should be 60, tops. And we should have culture that would celebrate moving to retirement, to make sure that people do not feel useless all of sudden.

But it is often hard for, especially really good, people to go into retirement, because you still have a (usually wrong) feeling that you can continue as if they were younger, and they see all the young hacks doing the same mistakes.. So if the society could support these people in giving up, I think it would be helpful for everybody.

As the Czech saying goes - stop at the best time. We should do that even if it is a small economic loss.

Politician giving speeches at some random gathering of industry types - isn't that SUPPOSED to be entertainment? It's not as if those speeches matter in any way?

I think comedians do a similar thing, practicing their act until it seems spontaneous but every punchline hits. Why should politicians do their job part of "public speaking" in a different way?

So what does "for real" mean? If a comedian manages to look spontaneous, yet every word and move has been practiced hundreds of times, is he for real?

> you think people would support your cause of measuring everything in dollars and going around destroying their property because they're "just as dangerous as food poisoning"?

"People", in general, are dumb. Individuals, when explained, might actually support it, but I guess you'd have to start teaching the following in school:

If you want to compare things, you need to express them with the same unit. It so happens that there is universal unit already in use to compare everything to everything else - money. Which, internationally, means dollars. Moral caveats apply, but this is how you correctly compare arbitrary things when you lack a more suitable common unit.

> Like, seriously? If you went around and asked people whether their restaurants should be shut down for unsanitary practices, do you think you would get a response on the same planet as what you would get if you asked them about their IoT devices getting shut down? Come on.

Sure, why not.

Unsanitary practices: you weigh some people likely ending up in the hospital with food poisoning against shutting down a business employing a dozen or more people for unspecified amount of time, which may or may not have pretty bad secondary effects (e.g. waiters aren't exactly the kind of people who can afford asudden job loss).

IoT botnet: you weigh bricking a bunch of (at this point in time) non-essential trinkets, thus inconveniencing innocent consumers and making it worse for garbage companies who shouldn't be in business in the first place, vs. enabling moderate-probability inconveniencing events for thousands to millions of people, such as DDoSing random websites, and occasional low-probability high-impact event, such as Maersk getting pwnd and disrupting worldwide shipping.

Ultimately I'd expect the IoT scenario to be less important than food poisoning scenario when you tally up both sides of both choices - and accordingly, food poisoning is something governments worldwide are already dealing with. However, and circling back to tty2300's original comment, the pattern of thinking is pretty much the same here in both scenarios.
This is scarily Orwellian. Not only for the obvious aspect of having a supposedly free state now policing everything I said in my life.

Type is one thing. Efficient querying (which implies some appropriate index structure) is another.
There is also a utilization column there. But it is always empty! Perhaps it is still incomplete. But, surely this is a tool that everybody wanted for a long time.

I'd rather have a central place to see quotes like this, but I also agree it should be more accessible on service level too.

To me, it always seemed AWS is unable to build intuitive user interfaces. They need to hire some UX designers from Heroku. Even GCP is better in general.

Agreed, except "but it's quite a different thing".

Theresa May wasn't "serious"? The woman who, on being asked about the naughtiest thing she'd ever done, said "running through a field of wheat"?

Since the Brexit vote the only people at the helm have been serious establishment types who saw the entire process as a damage limitation exercise, and who couldn't stop telling the country that what they had been offered and requested wasn't actually possible, the sky would fall and so on. Many such serious people made very serious predictions, most notoriously, the Treasury predicting that the vote would trigger an uncertainty-based recession that'd wipe out half a million jobs. Obviously the reality was very different.

Boris isn't an idiot. He is popular because he did a good job in London and comes across as a man who believes in Britain and wants to get things done. Whether he will or not is an entirely different matter; his party is still against him. But he's widely liked for understandable reasons.
