Pattern matching can be used in typed and untyped languages.

One reason it's more strongly associated with typed languages is that the type system can easily check a pattern match to prove various things about it (e.g. that the set of pattern matches covers all possible inputs).

Note that there is no technical reason an if/then/else construct couldn't be used instead, but the shape of the data is front and center with a pattern match.

"Probabilistic fallacies" aren't "formal fallacies" because formal fallacies have a very narrow definition: they are fallacies of formal logic -- be it FOL, SOL, infinitary logics, modal logics, etc. -- e.g. illegal "moves" that break particular rule-sets.

Probabilistic fallacies deal with incorrect conclusions drawn from looking at data. Or, in other cases, misapplications (or misunderstandings) of mathematical laws. These kinds of mistakes have nothing to do with "formal logic."
Yeah that's the same as the UK-setup as the parent described.

99% of the time most people use the latch, which would be a Yale lock in the UK, or a Abloy in Finland. You'd usually use the extra-lock if you went on holiday, or something similar. Most of the time it would be unused.
"Utilizing more fuel" and "operating continuously" are first-and-foremost economic considerations. We don't want to do those things just because they are cool from an engineering perspective.

If we can make nuclear fission work with liquid fuel, that is a game changer. It is the equivalent of going from coal to gasoline. Except even better. Maybe more like going from wood logs to gasoline.
I similarly reboot my phone rarely, but my phone never runs out of battery. I never charge it during the day (except if I'm using it for GPS in my car), and it's just a routine to charge it at night. I don't think my current phone, which I've had for about a year, has ever run out of battery.
Might also be an inappropriate application of recursion in a language where loops are more common. I've seen people who learn new stuff go overboard with clever code in production that is less readable for their peers.

Recursion shouldn't even be considered advanced though, just like classes and first class functions. I'm all for making code as boring as possible, but to me understanding at least these concepts is a requirement of entering the profession of software development.

DMARC does a great job at stopping direct domain spoofs. Like jane.ceo@company.com (where company.com is at dmarc p=reject). But it doesn't address display names attacks "Jane CEO <ceo123@gmail.com>" or as is increasingly the case: compromises of real accounts, even those otherwise protected with DMARC. But everyone should use dmarc, just like websites should use https for the baseline protection.

Sure, but if starting with DC you can pulse on the order of hundreds if not thousands of Hz instead of 50/60Hz, which shouldn’t be noticeable.
Very cool. Thanks for responding :)
If you throw away the rocket, sure, you're doubling the cost if you have to do trips.

If the rocket is reusable, then the vehicle cost gets amortized over the total number of trips, and the per-trip cost gets closer to just the cost of fuel (hopefully at least an order of magnitude less than a new vehicle+fuel on each flight).

Well, I did specifically give an example of two techs that do similar things that might be worth learning if they're different enough that one solves a problem the other doesn't.

I don't know anything about Mithril, but if you're right that you'd be 'much worse off' then that would be a similar case, no?
This argument for antinatalism never made any sense to me. A casual glance at history will show you that it’s easier and cheaper to raise children today than at pretty much any point in time, except perhaps for middle class white Americans ~1955-1990. What’s changed is the (perception) that keeping up with the consumerist Jones’ is somehow required to have a family.
Learning CoffeeScript was only a waste if you never got paid to write / never built anything useful in CoffeeScript.

The failure there is learning something that is not useful to you right now, not "learning something new".

Are their opportunity costs associated with learning one thing over another and making the "wrong choice" in terms of which stuck around longer? Sure. But you can't predict the future. Focus less on what you learned that didn't get much mileage, and focus instead on what you can learn next. Learn new things and old things - just keep learning! In the end, there are very few things you can learn that are a total waste of time - the more things you learn, the more perspective you have, whether or not you are specifically using the exact thing you learned.

So far, no. Though, I haven’t made much of an effort to seek it out. I help run an ISP with a WISP department, so we get to play with RF from 600 MHz to 84 GHz a lot. I have yet to see any “tech” article stop the bullshit and reference the obvious: MM wave doesn’t penetrate thick rain at any sort of distance let alone buildings. It’s also not very good at multiple client handling as to keep the bandwidth they’re touting, you need a lot of dedicated spectrum per client.

I haven’t seen anything to address this point. Which means they’re doing the same shit cable companies do with the whole “up to” crap. Sure, it’ll do gig... if you’re standing directly under the AP nested in some light post or telephone pole (OMG, “smart” street lamps?? Our city is so progressive!), in plain site of the thing and be the only one there.

Personally, and like I said, I don’t seek out documentation to be proven wrong here; but I see 5G’s real revolution to be the secret sauce to the OneWeb or Starlink satellite ambitions; or at least I hope it to be.

Anyhow, as you can tell, I’m a little edgy with all this 5G stuff. All the bullshit about it is spreading false information to people who need/have to be factually educated. Lots of rural areas passing up broadband plans that are real for the promise of “smart” 5G street lights and all the “coolness” it gives politicians come re-elections. Meanwhile, the solution isn’t real, broadband stays monopolistic and progress stagnates.

There’s a lot to 5G on the software side I’m intentionally not mentioning here. But, that’s not the part of 5G people are salivating over.

But if the phone has never left your area of trust during that time, there's no problem. If the phone has, then force a reboot of the thing before typing in your PIN. Say you have to walk into a place that demands you relinquish your personal device, but when it is returned to you it requests your pin. The suggestion here is that you reboot your phone to help ensure this jailbreak wasn't done to you. It seems like a simple thing, and fairly painless in this case. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean...
Reminds me of a programmer I met about 7 years ago. He was in a team of 4, writing internal software tools for a company.

He said he was annoyed that he always had to manually join other peoples code. They would send the files they changed to him, and then he would search what changed, and add their changes to his own code.

I asked why they didn't use source version control like Subversion. He asked me what it was. He was so happy to hear that such tools exist, and was going to look into it further.

And I on my part, was perplexed that none of those 4 programmers knew about it.

Treaties are generally not self executing. It's also very hard to get ratification for various political reasons.
The fact that the entire ecosystem is based around the actor model is one of the primary ones. It's allowed for code that isn't simply a library, but effectively an entire application, to be used as open source to be dumped into your system, because it has tools like Erlang Term Storage, Mnesia, and other devices to make it easy.
There's an awful lot of "yes but I..." going on in this thread, finishing with people not seeing their own bias, or not giving enough information to prove they don't have bias in their recommendations.

Let me start by inverting something that Uncle Bob has been saying for years: If you have less than 5 years experience, then 50% of the developers out there are 'older' from your perspective. Are half of your recommendations for people over 28?

Let's see how mine would stack up. If I had to recommend 10 people right now:

If I'm honest, about 6 of mine will be for people over the age of 28. That should be 5. So my recommendations are biased against young devs, which I hated when I was 26. If you asked me to be fair I could come up with 1 or 2 more young developers, but unbidden it would probably be 3-4.

2 or 3 would be female. If you only consider recent grads, that's low. But there's a hole in the older generation, so 25% is probably spot on, even though I think it kinda sucks.

2 should be black, hispanic or asian. I hit that number sort of. Because I could recommend 3 Indian developers and one East Asian from recent jobs. I have to my knowledge only ever worked with two black developers, one of whom was good, and also understandably frustrated that he is a statistic. I have seen him exactly once in 10 years.

I would wager that my numbers are better than most of the people who are getting rustled here (if you know your numbers are fine, you're likely not getting drawn into the conversation), but they're still biased. My recommendations don't make things better. They don't make them much worse, but they still tug the needle toward the unfair end of the gauge.
Increased rates of myopia linked to reduced time outside, studies suggest (2015)
I didn't get that from the article. It's more like: most of the new tech won't stick and if you aren't smart enough to discern what will stick and what not, then focus on learning tech that has already matured and been adopted. Remember, the advice is meant for programmers who aren't that good.
> Example: let's say I'm a poor white guy from Appalachia. Will you really tell me I have been given advatages for centuries?

Yes. That you happen to be poor, in that situation, does not obviate the cultural and sociodynamic power, in this country, from being white. And it's those advantages that just--for example--mean that if you are walking on a dark street in a city at night, a cop is orders of magnitude less likely to stop you and ask "hey, boy, what are you doing out so late?". That you might be poor, of course, is a reason why you are not as culturally or sociodynamically powerful as a middle-class or a rich white man, or maybe even a rich--gasp!--black man. But that white skin is an implicit handicap in your (and, as it happens, my) favor, even if other accidents of birth or providence happen to stack up on the other side. And it is downright immoral not to acknowledge it.

"Play god"--hogwash and worse words. Acknowledge structural imbalances. Poverty is one. Racism in a country that makes racists powerful is another, and it's bigger, and it's multiplicative with the aforementioned poverty in the first place.

And while we're being real about this, it is also worth noting that the historical fear of being "lesser than the black man" is one of the sadder causes of poor whites aligning with rich whites against the poor whites' economic and social interests--that is, the racial fear and resentment helps keep them poor. "Racial unity of poor whites with their economic exploiters" is a pretty good one-line summary of the post-Colonial American South in general, now that I think about it.
FWIW, wechat's messaging server is in erlang. In terms of scale, it's probably bigger than whatsapp.
Do you mean ads in general or posting to public job listings? Because all my jobs have come from the later and it's been the primary hiring pipeline everywhere I've worked. Can't say I've seen a lot of hiring from general advertising channels but if they're paying for the ads then they're presumably hiring from that channel.

It's probably cheaper to just run influence campaigns, shape the overton window, than it is to physically relocate voters. It also creates the appearance of being more democratic. Paying people to move to get the election outcome you want makes a mockery of the democratic process.
It's not obvious to me that this is a good thing to have. I predict that its primary usage will be as a generator of fully-general counterarguments: people will use it to look up how best to defeat their opponents without having to exercise any thought at all. There's a reason that the "fallacy fallacy" is on the list.

> I think both alternatives suck in different ways, but as a business I'd probably choose ROI over fair.

Understandable. And probably even common. That's why society should be adding disincentives--and that the people running most businesses do not suffer clawing panic attacks at the disincentivizing retribution appropriate for this behavior is indicative that we do not make businesses fear bad behavior nearly enough in this country. Nor, really, do we nearly often enough puncture the fictive-person boundary to reach the decision-makers themselves.

I say this a lot around here and it never stops being true: society lets the corporation exist. There's a grant of power and a grant of trust inherent in a corporate charter and the advantages therein. Every member and executive of a corporation should fear the everloving daylights out of betraying that public trust. And yet at this point we almost take for granted that betraying the public trust is what corporations do.

> Learning JQuery helped me for a few years, but now JQuery is basically useless to me.

'A few years' is a solid return on investment. Besides the reason Jquery is now useless is because Javascript now has those capabilities, so your skills were 'grandfathered' to ES6/ES7.

Learning an applicable skill is almost never useless.

"Though the Tortoise Lives Long

Though the tortoise blessed with magic powers lives long,
Its days have their allotted span;

Though winged serpents ride high on the mist,
They turn to dust and ashes at the last;

An old war-horse may be stabled,
Yet still it longs to gallop a thousand li;

And a noble-hearted man though advanced in years
Never abandons his proud aspirations.

Man's span of life, whether long or short,
Depends not on Heaven alone;

One who eats well and keeps cheerful
Can live to a great old age.

And so, with joy in my heart,
I hum this song."
I would actually give the opposite advice - I think people continue to overestimate Blue Origin based simply on Bezos' deep pockets and the success he had with a non-engineering online business (Amazon). Best way to judge Blue Origin is on what they've achieved and that is actually very little.

I think python is a great example of what I'm talking about, though. I'm not a Python programmer - I've never written anything over a hundred lines in Python, nor sat down to really learn it. However, every time I do something in Python, I'm impressed by how smoothly what I expect to happen actually happens.

With Rust, where I've put in a chunk of effort to learn, where I've read books, and have written a substantial amount of code, I'm constantly going back to the documentation to do simple things. The main offender is my inability to remember what traits are implemented by what types. I mean, off the top of your head, is '.binary_search()' a method on &[T] or Vec<T>? Or both? I literally can't remember right now.
A major problem with mining rare earth minerals in the USA is the 1983 legislation to manage the Thorium that comes along with the RE ores.

So, just as important is Senator Rubio's legislation to set up a "Thorium Bank" as a cooperative to transfer the liability from the miners to the bank who will store it for a wee fee and make it available at cost to the co-op.

This will also create a "guaranteed stream" of rare earth minerals to all involved.

Apparently, foreign governments and companies will do all the funding. Which is nice.

(Although given Hauwei's recent problems with US suppliers, I think foreign government might not put much stock in the 'guaranteed' bit)

Actually I said strong is too ambiguous of a term to use. For instance, do you want it "strong" enough to not bend under x force at y temperature, or do you want it "strong" enough to bend rather than shear at z force?

It is more practical to discuss the hardness and ductility at specific temperatures, as well as its ability to keep its carbon content under those temperature conditions.

My company selects for people who can pass white board interviews. Which are not only terrible in their own right but also not the way anybody I know codes.

And despite that, most of the people I work with are actually below average at explaining things with drawings or whiteboards. And since that average in our industry is already "pretty awful" that's saying something.

So not only are we looking for the wrong thing, but we haven't even proven our own people can do the thing we thought we were looking at. I'm starting to think a lottery system would be better. We know we have algorithms that do better with random sampling. Maybe hiring is one of them.
