> extensions that are sometimes in conflict with other extensions

Could you name two widely-used extensions that conflict with each other in a non-trivial way? I've used Haskell for several years and I've never come across any.
My first question was how this compares to Quorn[1], a product already on the market from Marlow Foods in the UK. It's also a single cell protein and I personally think their chicken-like products are quite good.

Google lead me to a previous discussion on HN [2]. Apparently the distinction is that this doesn't require carbohydrate feedstock [3], i.e. no dependence on conventional agriculture. Which is big if true.

From how I've been reading these interactions the last one isn't actually all that up to discussion. That's exactly what's been annoying me about it. If it were, then yes, exactly like you described it would be a sensible next level after the "please do X". And for most people I'd indeed (correctly) understand it that way, just not, as the parent described, from some particular backgrounds.

Oh, but actually, maybe that's the case, I'll pay more attention to the reaction if someone "doesn't like" to.
Why the ad hominem?
I am pointing a problem of allocation of ressources on the AI research field.
It's not to me to fixe that, but yes I am actively working on a logical fallacies detector which is the first of human history and works for the 256 possible forms of syllogisms, I'm expanding it to other logical forms such as modus ponens/tollens.
You bring up regulatory controls on banks, but then dismiss them as if most folks would willingly put their money into them if the regulations weren't there. If you'd trust the bank with your money without the regulations, I'd love to send you details about the bank I'm forming.
Why average Alaskan citizens were given guns and recruited as spies(2015)
This is different from the Dev channel that they had opened up awhile back, in case anyone else gets confused as I did for a few moments.

I really like it. In my opinion, its the best version of Chrom(ium) you can get on Windows and Mac. Very snappy.

And they already have some neat developer tooling around it. There is a vscode extension to do live reloads with with it, and see/manipulate the DOM and do other debugging/measuring of your application.

Good work here!
Wait but that's literally what the auto complete feature does. Most users understand the value of the feature (they use it!) but there's a good reason to spell out the cost too.

I agree with the criticism that they should draw a clearer line between the cost and the benefit but there's nothing to be gained by softening the language used to describe the cost.
As someone writing a 360 emulator, probably not much. The Cell docs are already available (Xenon is a modified Cell PPE), and the ways that it's different are a one off for Xenon that probably won't be documented in this dump.
What is it about working that makes it so depressing for you to not do it? Is it the earning of money for yourself? If so, you're greedy. That's fine. Be greedy. Not a great look, but we're just being honest with ourselves.

If it's "doing work that changes the way things are", once you've reached a point where you are able to retire and no longer need to work for money, there's plenty of options in just about every sector (I'm assuming yours is tech or tech adjacent being on HN and all that) where you can do meaningful work and which people would gladly accept the help of an expert on even if they can't pay them.

If it's some other 3rd thing that you feel differentiates jobs from non-jobs, I'd be interested to hear what you think that is.
“Anyone opposing more police officers and equipment is looking to break the law.”

Just as I don’t want a bored cop on every street corner, I also don’t want the IRS to be staffed to maximize revenue.

It’s a balance.
When have healthcare or education ever been cut?

Edit: A lot of downvotes, but no examples. Such cuts are always talked about as if though they have factually happened. To my knowledge, I’ve never actually seen such a cut in the United States at the federal, state, or local level. Sometimes, there have been attempts to limit the rate of spending growth, but those seem to always fail too.
At present, we believe that the following conclusions are warranted. First, there is no unique relationship between HFCS and obesity. Second, there is broad scientific consensus that there are no significant metabolic or endocrine response differences or differences in health-related effects between HFCS and sucrose. [0]

As others have said, it's an issue of quantity. Consuming 10-30 grams of sugar daily - table sugar, corn syrup, high-fructose corn syrup, or otherwise - does not cause obesity and health problems. The World Health Organization recommends no more than 10% of one's daily calories come from sugar. [1]

The average American consumes ! 125 ! grams of sugar a day, with empty carbs accounting for up to 40% of caloric intake [2]. This 40% includes the simple, 'empty' carbohydrates found in processed breads, cereals, condiments, drinks - which are converted to glucose by the digestive system in minutes.

The amount - not the quality - of sugars in our diet is the problem.

I was looking at the website and trying to connect the dots--the thing I'm wondering is how 2020 madness knows about a donation.

Is 2020 madness a wrapper to a candidate's ActBlue landing page / site, collecting form data for it's purposes and re-transmitting it to ActBlue or is there a tie to the receipt or some other mechanism?

Interesting gamification idea btw.
I am weeks into trying to resolve a carddav issue with fastmail. Email support from them is lousy at best.
One thing I think is notable is how the article that work is how people meet others and encounter new ideas.

As online interactions and news become more prevalent (I realize not everyone is equally online), does this change?

I myself have never shared my family's "I can't imagine life without work" - I've been emotionally eager for retirement since I was 20 and the last 20 years have only sharpened my appetite. There is so much to learn and try that work just in the way of. Of course, much of what I want to do could be considered "work", but the freedom to do it to the degree I want at any moment, and on my own schedule is a big deal.

But this article made me think about how that is true for me BECAUSE I don't have to go to an office to be exposed to new ideas, to be aware of new developments.

Sadly, I've got at least 20 more years to go before I get to test the reality of my expectations.
No, because that's not true, see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet%27s_approximation_th...

TL;DR: Every real number can be approximated by rationals. GP was being careless with language.
I don't think the IRS has ever been well funded enough to run out of the innumerable corporations with legitimate tax issues
It might be able to simulate zero-G, but any linear acceleration in excess of 1G cannot be simulated by a stationary device.
> up in the woods of West Virginia

interesting that survival in the woods without infrastructure is much easy than in the city when the infrastructure, like the power, is off. In the woods you still have water, fuel (woods) for heating and cooking and lighting, sewer (the woods as the worst case scenario). In the dense city all those basics become pretty much unavailable either immediately or very soon once the outage is started. If you ever had sewer blockage in your apartment/house imagine that across whole the city with plumber not coming nor today, nor tomorrow ... that's Katrina for example mentioned by the other poster.
A front-end Javascript build chain for a template? No thanks.
autistic or not - who would willingly add more work on their already packed schedule? this is setting yourself up for failure
You made that conclusion from that?

Go to almost any music festival, especially ones people love to hate on, and you will find lean young people from cities

Your conclusion can only be coincidentally accurate. Hot trendy folks go to music festivals. The BMI of whats considered hot has only gotten thinner since the 1960s.
Most people who say the real numbers make sense doesn't know what they're talking about. The real numbers are pretty bizarre no matter how much mathematics you've studied.

You can learn to prove things about them rigorously, and memorize a lot of properties, but very few people will ever develop an accurate intuition for them.
I'm wary of this as a way to raise funds for a candidate. It feels like "Trust us, we'll totally give the money to someone, someday." Even if that is true, there are presumably costs to build and run the site, so less than 100% of you money will get to the candidate.

It seems like there would be more value in making this free to play, and using any popularity to get a message out.
Is this because of the internet?
Julia should work fine in production (outside of having less mature tools to integrate with other services compared to popular languages that get direct support from the providers). That and like other said, it's not optimal for some domains (like really realtime stuff that can't have millisecond lags, though honestly latency can be kept low in general by having multiple replicas handling the requests), in embedded stuff (because of high memory profile for example) and it's sub-optimal in situations in which you can't keep the session alive (when the server will restart the application at every request, and the JIT will have a lot of effect in the response time).

The difference between an exploratory code in my opinion and production code is that production code must be correctly structured (comply to an architecture defined by the developers, properly separated in functions, readable), fully documented, unit tested, integration tested, properly tested in homolog/staging, logging, metrics, health checking and extensive error/exception handling.

So in general, during exploration phase you can use the already tested production code/libraries and extend them without much care on the above until you're satisfied with the approach/results (usually in a fast REPL/Jupyter/Revise.jl cycle). Then you start refactoring and implementing all the above to prepare for deployment (and probably during the testing you'll possibly find errors in your exploratory code, which may lead to another exploration phase). Eventually you'll end up with solid production level code.
Machines Meet the Physics of the Social
"implicits" seems a polarizing feature
Ah, the noble psychopath way.
I'm assuming you mean the actions of the state are unethical and not the freedom of speech to petition the government
Some of these staffers have been exposed as driving sockpuppet / bot campaigns on Wikipedia and Reddit. I wonder if they're going to get deplatformed too?
I expect my reports to tell me if I'm being unreasonable. But then I've worked to build trust with them such that they know I'm not going to fly off the handle if I give them a directive and they push back. In fact I tell them. "Hey, if something I'm saying seems crazy to you please tell me. I know what the project needs but I don't always know what you know about what I'm asking you to do."

If someone blows up at me for being direct, I'm going to PIP them and move them off my team and out the door.
After hurricane Maria in September 2017 the entire island of Puerto Rico was without power. There was nowhere you could drive out of the blackout area since it was everywhere.

A few luckier people got power back in one to two weeks, a small minority. My family in the greater metro area of San Juan got power back after two months. Friends in smaller cities only got power after three to five months. There are communities in the mountains which still don't have power today, almost two years later.

If you haven't lived through anything like this, it is a useful mental exercise to think how you'd prepare for it.
If it’s challenging to make a feature treat users with respect then maybe you shouldn’t have built the feature in the first place?

It’s like designing a dangerous rollercoaster with no concern for safety, and then when people start dying complaining about how hard it was to make it safe.

Nasty, unethical, criminal and morally bankrupt company. There are no other words to describe it.
No, the contemporary one that learned nothing from that folly.
A friend of mine is a core contributor to Mercurial. He is... well, I suppose "livid" is as close a descriptor as any.
On the same process node, PPC chips aren't anymore hot than ARM.
I think the term "template" is a bit misleading; this is a fully functional project. You can rearrange views as necessary and wire them up to your own APIs, and you'll be good to go.
To be fair, being able to increase your prices would have those same downsides too. It sounds like this kind of emergency preparation would have to be publicly subsidized for it to be a common thing.
IT guy needs to be shot. By the time 20 people consistently saturate a link productivity is down the tubes
Most startup theory is ex-post, therefore bs
I have done full time WFH for several years. My takeaways are now.

- It’s not all positive, but the upsides can be bigger than the downsides.

- If you have kids age 1-9 say, that need to be dropped off at school/daycare then WFH is fantastic. The commute time I instead spend working means I can drop kids off at 8 and pick them up and have dinner on the table at 5.

- I’d not want to do it full time if I did not have family. The isolation is real even though I do video calls a large part of the day.

- If had a choice I’d do 1-2 days in an office, but unfortunately it’s too expensive to pay a full time desk in a co working space and use it just part time. If I didn’t need a big screen etc I’d probably go for a part time seat in a coworking space.
That's because when cops have nothing better to do, they harass and assault people for all sorts of subjective made up infractions.

I do not expect a properly staffed tax agency to.
That is an example of how strange real valued functions can be, and one that tests your understanding of continuity.

It's a standard example trotted out in elementary real analysis courses along with Cantor sets, etc. If you have a good lecturer, they might make you try and come up with an example like it as an exercise before you've seen it...

A good part of becoming competent at analysis is building up a grab bag of examples like this you can throw at new situations.
And yet some people manage to whip themselves in to a righteous frenzy over someone collecting welfare or immigrants getting a microscopic bit of state aid.

Such people really need to get a sense of proportion.

The destitute, despised, downtrodden guy who slaves away to support their family by mowing your lawn, picking apples for you, driving you somewhere, or serving you your burger is not your enemy.
We had had our priorities completely shifted, we changed POs twice in just a few weeks, and our previous work plans were tossed out. We met daily to build up the backlog, then had our priorities changed completely again, and invalidated all of the planning.

I agree 100% that it's not Agile.
Unless you were a conservative group a few years back.

'The controversy began in 2013 when an IRS official admitted the agency had been aggressively scrutinizing groups with names such as "Tea Party" and "Patriots."'

The consequences of not exposing healthcare and education to cost pressure have already been catastrophic for consumers of both, so I'm not quite sure where you're going with this one.
The main arguments here are for streaming video usage, and probably apply, though the chicken-egg question of higher-quality video supply and demand may apply. Distinctions between latency and overall reliability can also make appreciable differences.

My experience is that this isn't where I find myself wanting speed. Rather:

- Downloads. Especially OS updates, though also occasional data-scraping projects. Both rates and service caps impede this, though the needs are occasional. Schedulable updates (quite possible with Linux, slightly less convenient with MacOS) largely address this. (Mac OS and application updates being schedulable, with Firefox as the major culprit, would be a big help here.)

- Podcast downloads. I'll occasionally grab a stash of episodes before heading out for a while, to be able to listen whilst mobile (and disconnected). The difference between my standard 5 Mbps connection and the occasional higher-speed cable, approaching 100 Mbps, is distinctly noticeable. An episode taking a couple of minutes to download is fetched in < 10 seconds. Again, an occasional need.

- VOIP. We're actively exploring more cord-cutting options, and the promise of higher QoS with Internet telephony or video chat is an interest. Existing lower-speed connections are sufficient for voice, but not video. And the voice connection has quite pronounced artefacts. Higher speed would be a boost here.

- Multiple simultaneous household uses. VOIP + streaming audio + streaming video + OS updates being able to occur simultaneously with minimal interference might justify higher-speed service.

- Home-based services. Whether private (VPN over Modem or Router via OpenWRT, Nextbox fileshare, and related services), or public (email, Mastodon, Diaspora, Friendica, and/or web services), the capability to self-host services could be useful. The headache factor remains to be assessed.

Truth is that in the local neighbourhood, slow (ADSL) and faster (cable) service are not hugely disproportionate in pricing, so a substantial service boost might be available at little additional cost. Higher-speed cable service largely isn't necessary, and does have a high price premium.

I suppose it's a case of fools subsidising the discerning....
I had a very similar experience. Snowed in for six days and no power for two weeks. A constant grind of trying to get a vehicle out for supplies by clearing downed trees all day, then huddling by the fire as a family at night for warmth. It was remarkable how differently and calmly we all acted, it felt more normal than day to day life does.
My connections I cared about simply switched to other forms of communication. Private events, I still find out about. People care about others attending their events (quelle surprise). I just now keep in touch with others in a more personal way instead.

"Non-personal events and happenings" are something whose value is worth thinking about. They were one of those things I'm very happy to have optimized away. If it's important, I'll find out about it. Rephrased, I will not make it my responsibility to find out about something you yourself didn't find important enough to tell me about. Reacting to a post is neither taking part in the event nor engaging with the people involved in it. It's this artificial, vicarious interaction that people convince themselves is a valuable addition to their life when in reality it's a fleeting sentence on an infinitely scrolling newsfeed. It replaced the tv show we'd have on in the background but never quite watch. Something mindless yet just engaging enough to take our focus away from doing absolutely nothing at all.

I used to spend my time on facebook finding out about these "non-personal events and happenings", like my cousin's husband's sister's graduation that I never would have attended or been invited to anyway, my aunt's trip to the beach, and some anniversary party a friend and her partner had. Was any of that important? The only difference between being on facebook and being off facebook, is that the former is full of one-way communication where I show minimal engagement with 90% of people's statuses, while the other is a two-way communication where I personally socialize with the 50% of those people who added value to my life. Magically, almost as if humans have evolved to be able to communicate in more ways than one with no effort, I still find out about the significant events.

In my newly-found free time I've become a board member of a large local non-profit, met more of my neighbors and a large chunk of my local government officials, and found time to regularly exercise hard and explore the outdoors.
I was lucky enough to have been on antibiotics when I was bit by multiple deer ticks and contracted Lyme. Zero symptoms whatsoever.

My sister and a handful of close friends have been temporarily paralyzed to varying degrees because of it.
The truth is probably somewhere between the two of you. We shouldn't be entirely dependant on centralized systems, nor should we attempt to be 100% self-sufficient. I'm sure there's a best of both worlds approach.
The macOS download link at the bottom directs me to https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/{macos-link}

Is there somewhere else to find this?

EDIT - Use the "More platforms and channels" link under the big Windows download button, then the dropdown menus on that page to get the Mac version.
Also important is what happens to a business that gets caught. If the punishment is 'pay back taxes plus a moderate penalty, and here we'll even set up a convenient payment plan for you', then cheating on taxes is effectively a free roll. You have a 95% chance of saving a ton of money, and 5% chance of paying only a bit more than you would have paid anyway if you followed the laws.

That said, the absurd complexity of the tax code is also a problem here, since you don't want the government doling out bankruptcy-inducing penalties on businesses that might just be making an honest mistake. The whole system clearly needs an overhaul. It should be simple enough that when a business severely underpays, it will be very likely that they did so on purpose, and therefore a large, deterrent-worthy penalty can be justified.
It doesn't stand in those countries obviously it is available there. There is no reason to assume bad intentions either and your first statement was just a lot of assumptions and already has been corrected for being not completely true.
Yea, I can’t wait to retire. There are so many things I’m missing out on because I commute 4 hours a day and work 8. Off the top of my head I can think of at least 4 or 5 hobbies I’d do daily if I ever manage to retire—stuff I have to frantically cram into nights and weekends now. This idea of having nothing to do is so foreign.
It's not marketing ... it's a work smart, play hard culture.
Reddit Tests Live Streaming – In a Cautious Way
Excited for this, although I'm really hoping we get a linux release soon as well.
> 1. Lower cost -> You're just pushing that cost to the employee.

This one does seem to be a relatively common thing, at least in recent job posts I've seen. I can imagine it's not all that common if you take a step back, but quite a few companies have given what I consider very generous monthly stipends for use in personal offices or (co-)workspace expenses.

I agree with the rest.
I like taxes; with them we buy civilization.

I want the IRS to have whatever resources are necessary to collect every tax dollar owed (but not a dollar more) according to tax statue.
Interesting not to see a mention of reaper, which is a fairly popular DAW with linux support (“experimental”)
I'm afraid the are doing it at least 10 years too late.
because they were abusing their tax exempt status. But that's the part you probably don't like to say out loud.
Eudoxus! A Pythagorean mathematician who studied under the philosopher-king Archytas and Plato.

He also put forward a compelling argument for hedonism, preserved by Aristotle.
Just dropping in to say the comment threads on this page are refreshing! Way better than what you’d find on reddit, Twitter, etc
