I will likely implement that later today. Clicking on an input-side port will allow you to reconnect it to something else (or to drop the connection).

I am deeply concerned. The 'luke skywalker' liberal attitudes of the past don't work anymore as a rebellious outcome. You can find a lot of videos online from politicians stating their aims and values. Across the west authority is going to be the most important thing in the future politically. You can hear many politicians that were successful during the liberal era say this, like australia's pm john howard.

There is something deeply wrong about the authoritarian swing we are experiencing. There's a sizeable chunk of the populace complaining they're being suppressed or oppressed and using the attention they gain to form their own filter bubbles where they oppress and suppress thoughts they don't like. Without a second's thought about the double standard.

The west's attitude towards valuing freedom as a goal to be achieved is put under a large question mark. Are we even aiming at that anymore? Where do you go to be free? We seem to be aiming at the right to oppress others. Hm I'm not sure about that. I'm trying to figure it out in the sunlight. It seems the only way to be 'free' in the old sense is to be the king of yourself. Willing to throw away everything you could ever have or gain simply to retain authority over your own being.

Is the only place left for "the left" to be in exile? Underground and unseen is the only place left to be free? Dodging the spotlight, jailbreaking and refusing orders. Seems like a shitter world than I'd like.
Traditional: stocks, bonds, savings, real estate. Some of those work, some don't and some of them are best avoided unless you plan on making a life around the theme of investing (and even then you will most likely get burned one day).
So why still so many people in offices? There are now a huge number of employees for whom everything goes in and out over a wire. Those are the ones who should be most vulnerable to automation.

Titles as the general category were not banned. The US Constitution only concerns titles of nobility, and more specifically:

> "No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State."

Military titles are very important, and enforced within the military rank system. (Consider a private referring directly to a colonel as "Sherman" instead of "Colonel Potter".)

Some very common titles are "Mr.", "Ms", "Mrs.", and "Miss".

Some job titles are protected, like "engineer" - in several states only a certified professional engineer can have the job title "Engineer".

I thinks this is the issue with our capitalism in "practice". It's not resilient enough to bad actors.

I hate to be cynical, but it's a bit rich to keep cashing the checks for five entire years and then having some come-to-Jesus moment. Did the change of heart go alongside some new boss who didn't like the work product? Or perhaps a plan to just move?

That sounds like a circular statement to me. But even if true, it's not ok to diagnose people on HN or to use diagnostic labels to juice up arguments.

> The fact that you equate building 200 miles of bike lanes to "pushing drivers out"

I haven't actually said that, so please don't put words in my mouth. I myself am an "intermodal" traveler, in that I do use bikes when I travel solo; I simply can't transport my 11 year old daughter by bike with two backpacks. I'm in favor of installing more bike lanes, as these tend to get cyclists out of the way of cars. Mixing slow cyclists with fast cars couldn't have been a worse idea, so shunting the two modes of traffic into separate spaces makes a lot of sense for us drivers. Likewise, when I ride a bike, I find myself relaxing more in a dedicated lane than when I'm forced to weave between cars to get anywhere.
I can't even name how many fake scandals I've seen in the news in the past few years alone. All news is biased and they are not above publishing rumors as fact.

Those concrete examples aren't visible until you do category theory. That is what I'm saying. You are drawing the wrong conclusions.

There is literally not enough information from the definition of the type class Functor and from examples of usages of that definition for a programmer to truly understand the concept of a functor. That is the conclusion I am deriving. It is not wrong. You are wrong. What's going on is you are deriving a conclusion convenient to your view point.

Sure you can get by programming haskell without category theory just like you can program without knowing the notion of an algorithm. However in both cases you are worse off without the knowledge.

The opinion that people should try to be gay "in private" (if they absolutely have to be gay) is of course extremely homophobic, and is exactly my point. If e.g. kissing in public risks you a punch, or if gay marriage isn't recognized etc - that's a sign that a country (or city) is homophobic.

That's not really so. If you have a bunch of bad luck in one month, you sometimes need a line of credit to get to the next. Did you have a flat tire? Did the baby need three trips to the doctor because of croup?

Banks exist to make our life better when we need extra spending cash. If we ban lending to the poor than it will be one more thing that only the rich will have.

I agree that the lending rates are insanely high, but that's largely because of defaults. The rates for secured goods (car, house) are insanely low, even when the defaults are taken into account. Car loans from credit unions are below 2% because they're secured.

The real problem is that the easiest way to cure defaults is to start saying "No" more often. But no one likes to be told "no" and that's unpopular too.

> plenty of cities around the world with reliable and effecient public transport, don't write it off completely because NYC's is subpar.

I'm certainly not writing off public transit as a concept. I'd love to be able to step out of my building, step into a magical conveyance that I didn't have to drive myself, and step out next to my destination.

It's great that other cities managed to solve this problem, but I don't live in those other cities. Yes, NYC could right itself, and build more subway/tram/BRT lines, but this tends to take forever. I need to get places now. My life won't wait for the city to sort itself out.
There isn't one standard answer. The overall idea is to get another set of eyes on any code before it hits production, to help catch places where it could be improve, catch bugs early, help each other find better ways of doing things, etc.

In practice, some teams do this very well and it an ongoing discussion of good practices that makes everyone better. Other teams nitpick over trivia, asking everyone else to code it like they would have. Some teams require an actual approval, others just toss all the code up for a while before merging it whether or not it got reviewed. Sometimes a lead reviews it all and say yea/nay, other times it is a teaching tool to expose people to new areas of the code before asking them to help out in that area.

In other words, no - there is no standard code of conduct across the industry. But there should be some common understanding of how your team, specifically, is doing reviews, and what expectations exist.

I think a far deeper issue is lack of domain expertise on the part of most journalists, and the field of journalism implying this is fine or that journalists build expertise just through reporting. How many times has there been an unrigorous attempt to "show both sides", or oversimplification, or de facto adoption of charged language like "War on Terror"? The core observation/criticism underlying the "Gell-Mann amnesia effect" to me is what detracts the most from the value of most journalism.

This is not to criticize those journalists that really do justice to their subjects, for which we should definitely be thankful.

In functional programming (the origin of this syntax),

add(a: int, b: int): int

can be read as a function 'add' when applied to the parameter tuple (a: int, b: int) has type int, I believe Ocaml, SML, actually support this syntax, whereas '->' (arrow) is a function type constructor in functional programming with 'A -> B' denoting a function from A to B. The type of add by itself in a language like Haskell would be:

add :: (int, int) -> int

I don't know what it means for the universe to be "purely quantum", or what it means to be a "distant observer" yet somehow not interacting. A wave function in itself is not observable. Is it real? Definitional. Is it a physical phenomenon? Dubious. All we know is that as a model it is consistent with what we observe. What actually can be measured (and can reasonably be considered real and physical in that sense) can only be predicted probabilistically using quantum mechanics. It's like saying that I can perfectly predetermine the outcome of a dice roll—it's between one and six.

These researchers should look into correlations between this and so-called aphantasia. There may be a form of recall different from “2D” visual (“watching a film”), more 4D “information geometry”.

Similar experience to yours: recall experienced as a series (fabric?) of facts which tend to be more accurate than my peers, able to describe spatial relationships and manipulate/rotate them; also voracious reader growing up.

If using GPS prefer “North Up” mode which puts all the geometry I experience into a map quite easy to play back later and navigate as-yet-unseen roads in the vicinity of, by projecting/inferring where I am relatively. I don’t “see” the map, I just “know” where everything is relative to everything else.

Unable to actively “picture” myself on a beach, always thought “counting sheep” was a metaphor, yet able to render spatial facts into architectural sketches, or even tell you where on a page a fact was from a text book, and how deep into the book.

I like your term “text optimized”. I’m baffled by the YouTube visual/spoken learning culture — it feels so slow and tedious compared to reading the same knowledge.

This keeps coming up on HN, and I’m struck by similarities in things some self-reported “non visual recall” people are also “extremely good” at relative to norm.

I get the sense researchers are running into lesser-abled, while there may be a cohort who are /differently/ abled, for instance with some almost savant memory abilities instead of the visual recall.

It's not inconsistent, just terser. You could say that "fn" declares a function by name; the type of foo is int -> str.

In Haskell, this is written:

foo :: int -> str

Of course, Haskell is based on lambda calculus, so multiple arguments are just a generalization of partial function application:

foo :: int -> int -> str

(A function taking two int arguments and returning a string, which is indistinguishable from a function that takes a single int and returns a function that takes a single int and returns a string.)

Cool tool. Tried it on an annoying dataset I know well. Three specific requests;

#2. A "Map" transformation - you can give it a list of input values and a list of one more more output values to which the inputs should be mapped. E.g. input values might be "New York", "Peekskill" and "Middletown" which map to "New York State" which can be placed in a new column (like the "If" transform)

#3. Finally because it's Hackernews... a "Function" transform allowing something like a Javascript function to be applied to a column, the output put in another column
