Reinventing? The post repeatedly cites prior art, particularly OCaml.

The author is likely unaware of Common Lisp's condition system because that's a completely random and arbitrary conceptual ancestor. It was predated by throw/callcc in Standard ML in particular, I believe (which, needless to say, draws a direct line to OCaml and thus this post). In fact, continuations in some form or another date back to 1964 according to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuation#History

>"But it's slow; but you can't go far with it"

I ride an electric moped, which has the exact affliction as described - but here in Vienna, this is of no consequence. I am constantly catching up with the fast overpowered auto's on the road, sitting at the lights, and maneuver in front of them regardless of how fast they overtook me at the previous stop. Its really a rabbit/tortoise situation - and in the end, I get to the same destinations in the same time frame, albeit with a drastically reduced carbon footprint, since I charge my batteries from solar ...

I think once people get a taste of electric transportation, especially mopeds/bikes, it becomes very clear: the future is electric.

Personally, I'll take slow electric over internal combustion any day. Its a huge improvement in life quality.
You're right. Can't delete the comment any more but I edited it.
They're pretty much everyone else. New releases of these "same games" bring better graphics, or animations, or gameplay, or story, or any combination of the previous. FIFA, in addition I assume they also include the new players and trades that happened since the last version (but I don't play FIFA so I could be wrong here).

Nostalgia is also a big factor, with so many reboots and adaptations of source material to new media, today's adults will pay to see all the Marvel blockbusters because they read the comics or saw the TV show as kids. I'd bet many people that bought MK9 - which rebooted the saga - did it for nostalgia. The same probably happened with the new Tomb Raiders, also a reboot of the series. Have you heard of the new The Lion King? Or Dumbo? Or Aladdin? Or any of the 500 new remakes Disney wants to make? Same thing.
I've heard about this stereotype a lot.

Youtubes and "influencers" on instagrams are a terrible, terrible way to assess a population. Take any topic, soon the algo recommendation will make you cringe.

But IRL ?

A good third of the people close to me are veggies/vegans, me included. I've never seen anybody trying to convert anyone, preach, signal value or guilt trip others. We participate in BBQ, find workarounds and make sure everybody is happy when we invite people at diner.

In the mix I have 2 nurses, a person still paying her student loan, a young couple with a new born and an old person earning minimum wage: they do have "real time / money / convenience constraints".

And we talk regularly about "what [we] are actually eating instead of not eating meat". Recommending products and places, reading product compositions, and adjusting diets according to the new studies we came across.

Now I understand that "the caricature is the stuff of comedy". Vegans are a good topic for laughing. I mean, we do weird stuff, it is indeed funny. Sometime I look at my day and think how much crap my teenage self would have given me if he saw me doing that.

But I've yet to meet the vindictive ignorant proselyte vegans you are describing. I'm sure they exist. There are assholes everywhere, but I don't think eating meat or not conditions it. Statistically, there are smug aggressive idiots, and again, statistically, some of them must be vegan. Correlation. Not causality.

Of course you're correct that these also had higher, and probably much higher, mortality rates. But what matters is overall impact. Let's say that x% fewer people die in childbirth today. What would that mean? What you'd start by doing is seeing the cause of death for a large sample of people in times past. So let's say you look at 100,000 people. How many would have had mortality caused by childbirth? It'd be extremely negligible and almost certainly in the single digits if not fractional. Keep in mind you're looking at all deaths, not just deaths of women who gave birth. And so that x% improvement results in a comparably small gain - childbirth being safer does not have a major quantitative impact because its rate as a general killer was, and is, very low.

What would be killing people? All the way up until the mid 20th century famine was one of the biggest causes of death. Famine and related issues all the way up until the mid 20th century was a huge killer. For instance in the early 1900s around 27 million people died in famines with a world population of about 1.7 billion. [1] That's 1.6% of the entire world dying of famine in one year! Now go back 3000 years with all the difficulties that entails.

And then consider things like food poisoning. We consider it, as a cause of mortality, mostly eradicated in the developed world. Yet it was such a pernicious killer that "eradicated" translates to 3,000 deaths from foodborn disease per year in the United States alone [2]. And now once again, go backwards in time to imagine how radically worse things would have been. To give that number some contrast consider measels. The vaccination was introduced in 1963. In the decade leading up to the immunization 400-500 died per year from it. [3] In other words foodborn disease is a bigger killer today than measels was before there was a vaccination for it. This isn't some anti-vax thing, but trying to give perspective to how and why people have died throughout the ages.

A few things to consider. If he had turned up to all of those flights there is the exact same financial situation for the airline as if he cancels at the very last moment, so him cancelling or not showing up is not an issue. The airline didn't complain that he booked too many flights. What would be an issue is if he double-booked flights, so there would be one he couldn't turn up to at all, this would be screwing the airline and bad faith. If he had done this he would have to know he would be inconveniencing the airline. The court case didn't bring this up and I would presume if they're willing to pull out specifics like the aforementioned cancellations, then they would jump at showing he double-booked flights. This leads me to believe he never did this, so he always intended to take the flights or at least wanted the opportunity available for him to take them, which really you should be able to with an unlimited ticket like that.

I better wait a decade, it ain’t much competition since we’re all in the same boat. It’s nice that many are happy with what we have now, but I don’t understand why you dismiss this suggestion so easily (and superficially, as it seems).

Wasm doesn’t allow 1+2, since browsers dictate how io/device/extension-communicating code should be done and their native routines are not ready for techniques of the level higher than just a bare callback. Wasm is not a solution, since the platform and primitives are the same. It is basically the same javascript-in-a-browser model with syntax and scoping rules to be implemented by someone else.

One can emulate any language by turning js/wasm into a virtual machine, but that’s not speed or battery-friendly.
Automatic conversion hides type mismatches in all the program, even the parts that are not concerned with input validation and cleanup. So that makes static typing a bit less useful.

As a source code reader I would much prefer to see at least a keyword or function call to make the casting explicit.

string s = cast 10; s += cast 20;

(I had the same reaction as the parent and think the language looks really cool otherwise)
As an aside - I clicked on one of the links and the page changed so quickly that I initially assumed something had gone wrong!
Yep - we get more utility out of our stuff than is easy to explain. Many things give comfort and are not just about miles or money.
Julia is already insanely productive for CS and statistics research and this will only make it more so. Super excited to see how this will be used, especially in PPLs, as algorithms like PMCMC benefit hugely from this kind of cooperative, interruptible concurrency.
I mean, not that you're wrong or anything but the leaf also needs annual service which isn't any cheaper than that for a petrol vehicle even though there's no oil change to be done, and it will eventually need new brake pads and rotors too. Same with suspension bits, those things will deteriorate exactly the same as they would on an ICE vehicle.
I didn't know that. I'm not a native English speaker. If this is actually an established way to informally address Kazakhstan citizens in English, then it's OK, I do not object.

But I'm still skeptical about it. I think in my own speech I'll stick to "Kazakhstanian" (despite the word "Kazakh" is so much easier to type). Because I'm just used to make distinction between words "Kazakh" and "Kazakhstanian" when I speak Kazakh and Russian languages (most popular ones in Kazakhstan).

With that, This is a super-smart move from Netflix to fight Hotstar-like Indian Soap-Opera packed Streaming Services.

In fact, Indians were massively watching Netflix already - but using someone else's Account - which is a very common way of saving money. Now this is Rs. 199 is probably going to change that because it's more like a Mobile Plan Recharge.

I guess this is the power of introducing a price-plan using Data Science as Netlfix's teams must have found out the importance of Smartphone (Device) and the game Indians were playing.
I doubt there's an answer to that question that applies to the general population.

Some people are miserable without social interaction and others dislike it intensely.

And even if someone manages to build some statistics that proves the general answer is "yes", I suspect said answer will be of very little practical use to a given individual.

Citation needed.

There was an article on HN a couple of weeks back about a guy who spent 20+ years alone in the woods and was perfectly happy for it.
It is dangerous to speak to others allusions, but I believe both that HN moderators/YC had nothing to do with the strength of the thread, and also that YC or YC affiliated companies occupy more of the HN consciousness than other companies of the same size, space, etc. An analysis would actually be really interesting, but I would bet, and agree with OP, that YC companies are naturally more occurring on the top/active HN lists, and (less analyzable) not always based on the strength of their articles, blogs, actions, but rather their affiliations.

This agreement shall be governed by the laws of Czeck Republic. If any portion of this Agreement is deemed unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, it shall not affect the forcibility of the other portions of this Agreement.

It is clear that those clauses are ONLY trying to protect them, the authors, from liability for the actions of others using their software. Perfectly reasonable.

I've not suffered much in terms of death of loved ones, I'm not much older than you, but you'd probably be surprised by who will miss you: a funeral is for those left behind and in my experience (which is like I said limited) is a help to coping with grief. A funeral just needs to be a chance for people to remember, talk, share.

Winnti: Attacking the Heart of the German Industr
This sounds more like a problem with people jumping to unfounded conclusions than with vegans, doesn't it? I'll admit I used to be one of those even though I'd never even met a vegan, and now that I have met literally hundreds (used to work in a vegetarian coffee shop) I've yet to meet a single one of these so called militant vegans who won't leave you alone before you've listened to all their arguments about what a bad person you are.

Where I'm at there's a tendency to think of (US) Americans as fat, obnoxious people who will sue their own mother if that will get them some of the money they are so obsessed with, would you say this a problem with Americans or (as I believe) a problem rooted in lazy thinking, stereotyping and general prejudice?

In Java you simply extend an Exception class (checked or unchecked) and handle it properly regardless of the error message.

Modern IDEs can detect exception types which don't exist yet, and create them on the fly while you try to use them for the first time.
The problem you might be having is your insistence on viewing people with a left/right partisan lens.

That's just tribal football-team politics and is simply part of the problem.

If you meant "they should rent high range bigger battery stack cars" I agree. The heinous cost of owning huge kWh battery for occasional use is silly. But fits MAKE ice cars so a cheap coverage for range is rental of an ice for the agency doing this model.
This should help them somehow. Everyone knows about Netflix but only a few have a monthly paid subscription. Rs 650 is kind of expensive for one service with limited content.

I travel in the metro quite regularly, I see 30-50% of passengers consuming some sort of video content on their phones. There is demand for sure. Only time can tell if this new plan really helps Netflix getting more paid subscribers.
well, companies do it all the time when they buy “enterprise” packages. I believe SAP is closed source and it’s the life and blood of most companies’ IT infrastructure.
Good point!

2. Clearly, I should have written "industry" instead of "companies".

> Maybe no other animal is just that stupid.

They very much are, many pets will way overfeed themselves if given the opportunity.

Though it might also be human-inflicted, I don't know if wild animals will do so if provided with effortless unlimited amounts of food.

I would expect so though, most evolutionary environments simply don't set up organisms for an unlimited glut of free energy-dense food, when there's a glut of resources it's usually followed by some sort of crash, so organisms stock up as fast as they can in order to out-compete their peers once resources crash. If the glut doesn't end (which is essentially what modern advanced economies arrived at), neither does the tendency to stock up, because there's probably never been an evolutionary context (sustained for a long enough period) where that was an issue and thus allowed some organisms to outlive others.
From the introduction: "There are many known risk factors, including blood cholesterol, physical inactivity, age, hypertension, obesity and smoking, but in roughly 15 percent of first-time cardiovascular disease events (CVD) due to atherosclerosis, none of these factors apply."

The problem with 'sentiment analysis' of today is it requires a human labelled training dataset that is specific to a particular domain and time period. These are rather costly to make and have about a 12 month half-life in terms of accuracy because language surrounding any particular domain is always mutating - something 'sentiment analysis' models can't hope to handle because their ability to generalise is naught. I've worked with companies spending on the order of millions per year on producing training data for automated sentiment analysis models not unlike the ones in the parent post.

To get useful value out of automated sentiment analysis, that's the cost to build and maintain domain specific models. Pre-canned sentiment analysis models like the parent post linked are more often than not worthless for general purpose use. I won't say there are 0 scenarios where those models are useful, but the number is not high.

Claiming that sentiment analysis is 90something percent accurate, or even close to being solved, is extremely misleading.
That is a lot of energy.
