Because someone in Manhattan owns a car does not mean they use it on a daily basis. From what I see the biggest contributors to parking and congestion in manhattan are people commuting in from outer boroughs and suburbs, then there are the visitors in for lunch and a museum or dinner and a show from the suburbs, Uber or Lyft drivers, and tradesmen/deliveries

People that own cars in Manhattan use them to escape on the weekends...not drive around during the week

I mean other than the visual style what did they "steal" here? Do we all have to buy 4 year old MacBooks because Apple has you convinced their laptop is actually that unique?

Maybe that works in Software Engineering because of the current boom there is a huge shortage. Law, Finance, Medicine is not like this. Nor will SREs in the next downturn.
Perhaps far brom being the nicest shirts, but the $15 OCBDs I have bought at JCPenney's have lasted more than 10 years with barely any fading. They seem indestructible.
So, it's an important problem, but the first thing I thought was, "are people walking more or less than they did 20 years ago?" Certainly where I live, there are more cyclists than there were 20 years ago, and while I could believe that pedestrianism does not necessarily go up or down in tandem with cycling, I cannot believe it has stayed exactly the same. Do we walk to places more than 20 years ago (perhaps because more people are unable to afford a car, as wealth inequality grows)? Or do we walk less, such that the increase in pedestrian deaths is even worse than this article suggests, indicating a downward spiral in which people walk less because it seems too dangerous, which makes drivers less aware that there are pedestrians to look out for, which makes people walk even less? This article doesn't say. It seems a pretty fundamental point to be leaving out of a discussion of pedestrian death rates. They don't even mention whether these rates represent an increase in per capita deaths, or just reflect population increases. Without turning pedestrian death rates into per-person-per-mile-walked kind of rates, I don't see how you can draw many conclusions at all.
I wonder how this impacts debugging. It kind of rubs me the wrong way too. Typically, robust security is about keeping things simple so they can be audited or verified. Pretty cool results though.

Sure, but Learn You a Haskell seem to try to avoid saying "I will explain this mumbo jumbo later" by explaining everything up to type classes before getting to "hello world".

I guess I should write a Haskell tutorial which starts with "hello world" without trying to teach monads beforehand!
Morpheus modified hardware to accelerate the procedures which randomly alter the system stack parameters that attackers learn by probing the system. They used risc-v for this prototype.
> Electric vehicles have no direct emissions, including no direct emissions of fine dust.

QUOTE

Traffic related particles can be distinguished into: exhaust traffic related particles, which are emitted
as a result of incomplete fuel combustion and lubricant volatilization during the combustion procedure, and nonexhaust traffic related particles, which are either generated from non-exhaust traffic related sources such as brake,
tyre, clutch and road surface wear or already exist in the environment as deposited material and become
resuspended due to traffic induced turbulence.

It is estimated that exhaust and non-exhaust sources contribute
almost equally to total traffic-related PM10 emissions. However, as exhaust emissions control become stricter,
relative contributions of non-exhaust sources to traffic related emissions will increasingly become more significant.

Removing cars and adding bus lanes seems obviously designed to improve transportation and livability? Why do you think it's not?
I'd be happy to review any PR to improve our rollup & package.json config as long as it's backwards compatible with the documented methods of using Chart.js: https://www.chartjs.org/docs/latest/getting-started/integrat...

A practical answer is “no”. Speed limits were set when cars really couldn’t safely do any more. But, modern cars have better acceleration and braking and suspension. They remain “comfortably” within their handling capabilities even when 30% over the speed limit. (Estimates are my opinion)
Yes, I didn't include the papers below in my parent response because, “just read these dense academic papers to understand what monads are and why Haskell has them” doesn't tend to be good advice for Haskell beginners. But learning why monads came to be included in Haskell is useful if you want to dive deeper into this stuff:

Philip Wadler's original paper on Comprehending Monads [PDF]: https://ncatlab.org/nlab/files/WadlerMonads.pdf

Philip Wadler and Simon Peyton-Jones' paper on Imperative Functional Programming [PDF]: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/...

Simon Peyton-Jones mentions both papers and talks about why monads came to be part of Haskell in his talk on the history of Haskell here, with examples that are a little more accessible than the above papers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=re96UgMk6GQ [introduction to purity and then monads starts around 30:07]

It's a funny talk and it's worth watching in full, but here's a nice soundbite:

“So what did we do for IO? Well, we just didn't have any. [audience laughs] So the joy of being an academic, right, is you can design a language — in 1990, I beg to inform you — that had no input/output. A Haskell program was simply a function from string to string. That was what it was. … But this was a bit embarrassing…”

He goes on to talk about other ideas they explored to create effects, why they settled on monads, and why he wishes now they had called them something like “workflows” (as F# later did[1]) to make them sound less intimidating.

(Simon and Philip will both be at Haskell Exchange 2019 in London this coming week if anyone else, like me, enjoys spending two days as the dumbest person in the room: https://skillsmatter.com/conferences/11741-haskell-exchange-... )

>Easy to be a Python black belt certainly not.

Perhaps, but that's a different goalpost...

Plus it's still easier to be a Python black belt than a Haskell one...

Briefly, there is something very similar to Amdahl’s Law for parallel speedup but for removing the thin layer of defects checkable by static typing. Most defects in any real system aren’t like that, to such a degree that the whole correctness bottleneck is concentrated so heavily in unit and integration testing and the extra language complexity, extra lines of code for type annotation or registry of type system designs, slow compile times or constraints on mutation imposed by the static typing don’t pay for themselves through meaningful defect reduction. It’s like the cost of shipping data to a GPU. The efficiency gained by processing it in parallel on the GPU device must be much greater than the transport cost, or it’s not worth it.

But in terms of me ever wanting to write this up with rigorous technical examples, I mean, just look at the level of discourse and tribal downvoting in a thread like this.

Even setting aside that this experience was spread across a quantitative trading company and in a large public financial technology company, meaning I definitely can’t publicly share a lot of details of those systems (which adds tons of required effort to convert examples into totally isolated tutorial-like standalone samples), why would anyone with a valuable technical dissenting opinion about Haskell want to open themselves up to that kind of religious backlash?

It’s demoralizing and discouraging for me even just in a thread like this one, where I’m just some mostly anonymous commenter talking subjectively about my experience in small comments.

There’s no way I’m sticking my neck out on a big technical blog post or technical paper about why leveraging a static type system doesn’t meaningfully reduce defects in real systems.

Also to be clear, I think static typing is fine. Some people enjoy it a lot or have clever ideas about using it for expressiveness. Some people also write amazingly concise dynamically typed code that covers a huge variety of use cases in a safe way with pretty much no overhead code to register anything at all about those use cases. People are free to choose their tools and whatever gets a job done is totally fine.

The part I find disingenuous is that it seems like only the static typing zealots are trying to come up with a reason to think a certain way of doing things strictly dominates or supersedes a different way of doing things, and it’s totally disingenuous to act like the benefits of static typing on defect rates would be such an argument for “universal” applicability of one certain paradigm.

Except that antivaxxers proselytize, vastyly increasing the likelihood of crippling or killing their own unvaccinated crotch-spawn far beyond the ~one-in-a-million risk of injury inherent in vaccination.

Sorry, but anti-vax is not an exercise in Game Theory; it’s an exercise in narcissistic shit-flingers indulging their malignant ignorance and delusions of control; and fuck everyone else, including their own children, that pays the price for their depraved indifference.
Thanks for the explanation on the vector maps! Do you also happen to know how to get started on raster maps, e.g. where to get satellite imagery, prepare and host the tiles?

I am currently interested in it because I want to feed tiles to a GAN to automatically generate maps of an imaginary earth..
This is why I happily set Brave Ads to show me the maximum amount of ads per hour.
Brave is serving ads in a privacy-conscious implantation which uses local machine intelligence to determine interests. There's no broker trying to sell your data to advertisers and yet personalized ads can still be served.
Also, Brave Ads show up as a notification. Much more aesthetically pleasing than those whole-page ads that some websites have unfortunately adopted.

Thanks for the feedback! We're busy working on RSS imports right now and should have something up in a day or two. We're open to ActivityPub too but this might take a bit longer just because we're building Able in our spare time.

Ultimately, we want to create a great place for developers and then charge businesses to advertise their job vacancies to that community. Because we're self-funded we don't have pressure to grow at all costs but we'll need the support from the developer community if we want to turn this into a sustainable business.
To contrast this with Sweden, another heavily taxed country, we bought a new Mazda 6 Wagon in 2016 and it cost us 313000 SEK (~289000 NOK), fully loaded with all the trimmings and an extra set of winter tyres on rims to boot.

Just add your email (or a fake one, I don't care, just not one that bounces please), and a username you want to follow the replies for (yours, mine, pg, dang, it doesn't matter, and I don't care!).

This is a complete rewrite of the previous service I built for this. I had started this rewrite over a year ago, but due to family troubles I had to put it on hold.

I wrote the original HNNotify.xyz to once an hour crawl the API for your replies and email you if it found any. This was a terrible approach and led to a lot of issues. But that is how it has been running for well, ever.

This rewrite uses a database I feed with my API crawler. It's a lot more stable, and the query to find replies takes milliseconds instead of minutes.
Well, yes - but a preponderance of distracted walkers isn't a argument against smartphones. It's an argument against cars. If somebody uses a dangerous device in a public area, they are responsible if they hurt someone. If a certain category of dangerous devices is implicated in the injury of a lot of people who were in public places, then it should be banned.

I know cars hold a special place in the mythos, but I think they are a bit like alcohol. They have basically no upsides, and if they were invented today, they would be illegal, except for professional or industrial purposes.

Physically changing road design is the only thing that works. Handing out tickets and traffic cameras are an o.k. way for a government to make some money, but does nothing to stop accidents.
I didn't say that they "can't be adopted", but that it's "not easy" to adopt them (and specifically it's not as easy as Python or even Java, C#, Lua, whatever) -- because they come with a bigger mental burden...

What? I don't understand your comment from the context.
Oh yeah, what people said is so hard for me. I'm terrible about telling personal anecdotes, because I just don't remember what people said, so it just sounds like me describing a series of facts. I get amazed when people like my late grandfather could tell a story about himself 40 years in the past and tell back and forth conversational dialogue that happened.

Even if it's not 100% remembered (and I doubt it was) or embellished, or reinforced by telling the same stories over and over again over the years, it still impresses me. I can forget all but the broad strokes of what people said only a week later. The only conversations I "remember" about my past is what I've explicitly put into my poorly kept up journal entries.
Judging from the overwhelming negative response to what SO did, I'm confident that I am not the one with the controversial beliefs.
Anybody have a link to the publication? I can’t find it on https://experts.colorado.edu/display/fisid_110521 (it mentions “Nuclear Winter Responses to Nuclear War Between the United States and Russia in the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model Version 4 and the Goddard Institute for Space Studies Model E”, but that isn’t about India and Pakistan)

I’m asking because the phrase:

”leading to Indian forces entering Pakistan. Pakistan responds with the use of a handful of tactical nuclear weapons targeting those tanks and troops”

seems to indicate that Pakistan would respond by nuking its own territory. That may be the best choice tactically, but seems a tough choice for a government to make. Is the border area that empty that that it won’t hit Pakistani harder than Indians?
While there has certainly been progress with AR, the VR experience has seen vastly more significant improvements since 2012. Automated photogrametry also keeps getting better and better, making it faster and easier to fully reconstruct real world locations in VR. I think this has already become more compelling than AR for the use case presented in the article (seeing how stuff looks in your house).
My other two products are perpetual licences with optional paid major upgrades and include support. But the world is changing and a yearly sub is attractive for vendors. Simple and with a more predictable cash flow. It also incentivizes the vendor to keep existing customers happy, rather than always chasing new customers.

>Modeling a game or sim as a successive series of immutable states sounds great to me, so I’m curious where you see a mismatch with them.

because I don't really think the functional model describes it in an intuitive way. You can model a sim or game at a high level like worldstate1 -> worldstate2 etc.. but it doesn't really tell you much, because often you don't really care what the state was a second ago anyway in particular not in its entirety, and because at that high level of abstraction you don't really get any useful information out of it, so there's no point in tracking it in the same way it makes sense to track a medical history or a bunch of business transactions.

Rather instead of thinking of games or sims as high level abstract transitioning states we tend to reason about them as a sort of network of persistent agents or submodules and that lends itself much closer to a OO or message based view of the world.

I think in many systems that are highly complex and change very incrementally reasoning about things in terms of functions doesn't really tell you much. You can for example reason about a person as like say a billion states through time but there's not much benefit to it at least to me.
Well antivaxxer in France caused the death of at least one child in 2016 (who could not get vaccinated because of a weak immune system). They might be other cases.

Does the responsibility of murder dilute when enough people is involved? At this school were this happened, the only antivaxxers who showed guilt were the ones whose children will have sequela.

I know its not possible, but let those antivax live in the same communities and develop their own immunity w/o vaccines. Or at least, when a kid can't get vaccinated, let his parent know if the school is safe.

I think a simple solution to this is to require everyone to have a minimum of a scooter/moped license first before being able to apply for a driver's license. Maybe we'll inject some more empathy into drivers if they realize how scary it is to be close to a texting driver and have no metal box of armor to protect them.
You should be able to this JSTS I think. Create a line with the gps track, create a buffer with the specified distance, feed the resulting polygon to your mapping library.

No one forced Apple to ship production to China. It was well understood what was going to happen before they did it and they did it anyway. It's hard for me to have any sympathy for their current position. Business is ruthless and Apple knows it. Apple has a long history of crushing small suppliers to their own advantage so it's not like their hands are clean in all of this.

I don't mind being price gouged, I can afford it, but Apple no longer makes laptops suitable for me.

Employers have been threatening and actively trying to outsource my employment overseas my entire adult life. This drove a lot of people out of the software industry. I made the bet that they would be less successful than they planned. Now I gouge them for access to my rare skills - a problem they created. I could easily have been wrong and if that happened these companies would have not supported me out the goodness of their heart.

What are the advantages of this over a shell pipeline with aws-cli?
I code at a hospital, which is in a poor neighborhood. The garbage exhaust on my walk in to work from cheap old cars is unbelievable, to say nothing of 18 wheelers and huge trucks rolling through this poor neighboring neighborhood all day. Kids living there are straight up taking lung and brain damage from that exhaust. So it does grind my gears when people talk about coal EVs being dirtier, they just dont think of poor minority kids who bear the brunt of local city emissions of dirty ICE and diesel.
It's just the cycle of history.

This already happened in 2000 with wifi and department servers: people would buy wifi access points (apple really accelerated this) and hide them from I/T in the suspended ceilings. They'd buy file servers and hide them under secretaries' desks. I/T eventually wrested control of that infrastructure and it all became an Enterprise sale.

Oh, actually earlier: analysts would buy their own Apple IIs with Visicalc and simply compute locally without having to deal with I/T. Eventually I/T figured out how to co-opt them and Microsoft's tales team rode to victory.

etc.
But would you pay for something like this? Or would you use a free tool such R?

My gut feeling is that Linux users:
a) Don't want to pay for software.
b) Probably have the technical chops to roll their own solution in Python/R/SQL.
Are the tax advantages meaningfully different for ISOs vs. NQSOs if you 83b your NQSOs?

It seems to me anyone who really is banking on their startup having huge valuation growth (and can afford to do it) should 83b their options, either way.
I think this depends on what you think of ASLR. If ASLR rubs you the wrong way, this will too.
