Thank you,
I was thinking about your own example with operations and transaction from the previous comment. How would the code look in your approach?

Unfortunately, I have very basic knowledge of Haskell and can't appreciate the last link, however I've got the general idea of the second part of your comment (I think, maybe not) and two things bother me:

1. What if I find it convenient to two use different effect stacks in two different parts of my app? How do I write the code that call functions from both parts of the app?

2. Suppose I use the same 'carrier' type in the app and one day want to handle one more effect, what changes to the code using this type does this entail?
I don't think I am. I've been fixing hardware for years and any device that doesn't switch on is "bricked" - its utility has dropped down to zero, it has turned into a literal brick. Just because you can revive it through some arcane procedure doesn't make it any less bricked to the end user.

It is actually simple. Just look into any business where safety and security matters.

I'm in automotive [0]. There is somebody who has to sign that the software is safe. Without someone to make that signature the car does not get released.

For Free Software, look at Sqlite. There are some nice slides from 2009 [1].

In general it results in some simple rules like "100% test coverage". Of course, these rules (while simple) are not easy to satisfy and certainly expensive.

I am excited for any attempt at innovation in the operating system department.

It is too early to tell how Fuchsia will do but at least they are trying.

I think https://www.qubes-os.org is interesting as well.

Unfortunately almost every attempt to get a new OS out there has failed in one way or another. (as far as user adoptation). There are some pretty nifty things out there.

I hope to the higher powers that Linux, UNIX or WindowsNT is not the end of the line.

I think it was a very exciting time when you had Atari ST, Amiga, BeOS, NeXT, Solaris etc competing.

I fear monoculture is most things. Browsers, operating systems, politis.

Ok, so I've taken one crisp clear photo of the moon through a friends telescope they let me borrow and I did it with my iPhone. It took 30 minutes to set up and calibrate, I had to position it on the moon, and keep adjusting the tracking. I'm sure 99% of the population has never done this. When I say I can't take a convincing photo of the moon I mean that if I had to capture an event that only lasted 7 seconds and it was the size of the moon; the photo would be a white dot on a black background. You sound like you need to diagnosed if you think I'm not allowed to talk about an experience because I didn't take a picture for you.
This is an excellent article, thanks for posting.

It's funny how Thoreau has now so eclipsed the star of Emerson which shone much brighter in his own time. This often seems to happen - writers who seem omnipresent and influential in their own time turn out to have less to say to future generations.

There are situations in which non-competes are enforceable in CA, just not for regular employees. For instance, if you sell a company you own in part or whole, a non-compete with the acquirer is enforceable.
I don't like watching videos, but the list of milestones and timestamps is great. Text editors are one of those things that would be nice to know how to implement, but that never was high enough on my priority list. Looking at this, I feel like I've significantly overestimated how hard it is to write the UI layer. Granted, I'm going to be maybe much slower, but still this seems like a doable project even if I don't have that much time.

Why don't we have a list of nice hacker projects somewhere? With an estimate of skill and effort required, relative to other projects?

It is really to the detriment of the states that allow it. I constantly feel as though due to noncompetes I will be forced to make a move to California in order to further my career on any reasonable timeline. I can't actually know that I will want to stay at a company many years until after I sign the noncompete, but then it is much too late and the noncompete is in effect. If I don't want to be chained to a specific company possibly killing my career progression, I have to be extremely careful.

It is things like this that are severely slowing tech growth outside of the bay. Since there are no noncompetes, the chains have to be crafted with positive incentives instead of negative incentives, causing developer salaries and benefits to go up rapidly.
The question is not obscurity, the question is security. And there ocaml wins by miles over rust.
The 2 years is a good balance for highly skilled employees who carry competitive information such as customer contacts or technology. After that time the information is likely mostly worthless anyway.

I agree that for interns the situation is not good but believe the "reasonable" provision is most likely to make a non-compete with an intern worthless in court.

To be honest, when you install Visual Studio or IntelliJ, you have all you need to develop code in the language you chose, with 0 extra customization. Of course, some amount of extra customization will usually follow, but that can come after you are more confident with the environment.

The same is definitely not true for VSCode, Emacs or vim, though perhaps bundles like portacle can offer a similar experience. I say this as an Emacs & IntelliJ user.
Why assume that there will be no cameras in locker rooms or bathrooms? If they aren't literally in such places, they do monitor who goes in and out.

I have actually read about a camera system for locker rooms that would use image recognition to blur nakedness. Another system blurred everything other than faces and the static background. We are far from being OK with such things in schools, but they are out there for more secure areas.

For examples to illustrate: a group of QA testers that consists entirely of pale-skinned people is going to be collectively less qualified at testing a face recognition tool than a group with a range of skin tones. A school board consisting entirely of people from a particular geographic area is less able to fully account for local concerns and logistics than one with members from a broad area. Diversity for diversity's sake can be a real advantage when you think carefully about what diversity looks like for your project. If you don't see the potential, that's fine, I have no interest in persuading you. My advice to you is that sometimes when you don't understand something, it's not because it was poorly written. But sorry for the typo ;)

>> All the american monopolies are due to protection policies defending them from the competition, i.e. due to the government's interventions.

Apropos of Wall Street's dominance: I've read that the "greed is good" [0] obsession with money started to catch on in the 1980s, after the Reagan tax cuts. Plus, corporate executives use their financial compensation as a way of keeping score in the career game, while compensation committees look to consultants to tell them what the average comp is for executives — which means that the average comp keeps drifting up (because we certainly wouldn't want to pay our CxO less than the average, would we?).

The problem, of course, is that this obsession makes for a bad combination with a focus on the short term, which is practically Wall Street's middle name.

I'm intrigued by the notion that the best long-term fix for short-term financial thinking is to go back to a 70% top marginal tax rate, for that portion of incomes that exceed some multiple of the median (maybe 10X?). That'd still be less than the 91% top rate in 1960 [1] — and it would reduce the competitive incentive for executives and investors to scratch and claw for more and more money as a proxy for [anatomy] measuring.

Please provide an annotated list of irrefutable evidence that others have created so I can see what you are talking about...

Edit: actually if I were to meet you in real life you could just ask my wife about the incident. She hates the fact that she saw it too: I used to talk about this stuff but backed off in recent years. Because she was there it validated the fact that there is some type of conspiracy in the world. We don't know the exact details of the conspiracy but something is definitely not as it seems when a silent triangle rips across the night sky.

> what do you feel is the best way to prevent monopolies forming?

You don't need to prevent them. If a company provides an outstanding quality of service, it would have a big market share for some time, and that's fine.

What's bad is when people are suffering due to monopoly. But in this case laissez-faire is enough, because suffering causes the demand, the demand causes the supply, provided by competitors.

> the way i see it, access to capital is a huge barrier for many potential competitors

Most barriers in the west are inflated by the industry and government. Take the big pharma as an example, the barrier is due to the regulations and patents (and FDA), purely. Russian and Indian companies could produce and sometimes even develop drugs for a tiny fraction of costs that are usual in US.

Now I do understand that patents may incentivize investments in R&D, but they also incentivize monopolies and oligopolies being the monopoly right.

>it may take many decades for a natural monopoly to fade

If the population suffers, it create the supply for the better service. If such a supply exists, what prevents a demand? It couldn't be any financial barrier, because it's not a rocket science to attract investments when so much of a demand exists.

>and natural barriers to competition such as capital, land

Capital is not a barrier, especially in US, where investment climate is so good.

Land is not an important resource for a vast majority of contemporary production, we are not living in agricultural society.

I don't think that nowadays there exist many natural limiters like the lack of land or resources. Most of the industries in the west are based on IP, and labor is moved to the third world. So I doubt it's true in the US. Your costs are due to patents and other such things rather than due to the lack of land.

Unfortunately, Safari does not support Opus-encoded audio using the Web Audio API. I actually had to push a hotfix earlier this week since Safari uses webkitAudioContext as opposed to AudioContext (which I wasn't checking for) - the site wouldn't even load.

I could fallback to something like MP3, which is something I'm looking into.

I really need to add some type of alert for users using Safari, at least for the time being. Thanks for reminding me!
I'm not sure that's an apt comparison. If you were saying that 32-bit PPC is dead, then the answer is probably yes at least in general computing, though there are still lots of 32-bit PowerPC parts in embedded systems. However, 64-bit PowerPC systems have substantially more in common with "big" POWER. The G5, which was clearly positioned as a member of the PowerPC family (PPC970) but descended from the POWER4, would be the classic example.

No. That was not the problem. The problem was that they did not properly supervise the architect. Architects are artists. They always have some bias one way or another, some little opinion on how things should look or work. They need to be watched. It was someone's job to ensure that architect's "vision" matched the customer needs. That person should have realized the error and halted proceedings long before breaking ground on anything.

When you don't watch the architect you get things like this: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/penis-shaped-church

The problem with bullying isn't in figuring out who was involved in incidents, it's that it's a he-said she-said issue as to who's the bully and who's the victim, or if it happened at all, barring some kind of physical evidence.

>Monopolies were a thing long before the united states was a thing.

Before the united states was a thing an average government was significantly more invasive than the contemporary one.

Non-competes get abused so much in the states because the cost to companies is next to nothing when workers don't push back. I don't think companies would go around giving everyone two-year non-competes if it meant they had to pay an extra year's salary to everyone who quits.
