That would be my guess, the review process is incredibly arbitrary. We made an minor change to our App that's been in the store for years and it was rejected because suddenly our App was misusing Apple branding and also promoting another Platform. Both objections cited a screen that's been in the App for years that allows the user to make a payment using Check, Credit Card, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.

Apparently we magically started mis-using the Apple Pay log and were promoting Google/Android for having the Google Pay logo. I responded back asking if we needed to remove the PayPal, Visa and Mastercard logs since they were competing platforms to Apple Pay as well. The random reviewer that looked at it next said it was fine and approved it.

>(2) Functions are presented before lists.

While it might not make the most sense for a beginner still learning the fundamentals to be taught lists before functions it's generally advantageous for introductory language books to focus on what the language excels at. But of course this is a fundamentals book and not every book needs to be general purpose!

Some examples of where this holds true: The Rust Programming Language introduces ownership concepts, a difficult topic even outside of Rust, immediately after the chapter on fundamental concepts like the data types, functions, and control flow. It could be argued that such a concept needs to be introduced early to understand the language more, although you see similar things with OOP being emphasised very early on in Java on the tutorials on the Sun/Oracle website. Any introduction to Perl will be very string processing heavy, and Ruby introductions, like Python, will introduce lists/splicing very early on. It's easier to appreciate as you pick up more languages.

Work gives me a laptop & wireless connectivity & nobody cares where I am. So I could...

...but office is just way more productive. 2nd screen, better ergonomics and all my seniors & juniors are there.

I'd take a sizable hit on effectiveness if I'm not in office.

That said - I lean more towards the office work / manager side than most of hn though.

Mono lake? It’s pretty arid there. I imagine lower elevations which get cold would provide better foliage, maybe grass valley area?
You absolutely nailed it. Thank you.
I spent my youth in Geneva and the tram and buss system was fantastic. I could and did get all over town unsupervised as a 10 year old kid. I wish there was anyplace in the USA that had that level of access for our youth.
> I think my water costs me about £16 per month for 3 of us (me, partner and step-son), if that doubled I wouldn't even notice it set against our other outgoings,

For the same kind of household, our yearly bill went from €115 to €415 in less than 10 years; I guarantee you start feeling it.

It doubled in 3 years, tripled in 6 years. I have no idea why, we are in a place where water is normally abundant (and there is zero irrigation).

It is not like we could reduce our consumption: we use only a tiny bit more than 7 m³ per month, for a house with garden. That means just 2.3 m³ per month per person. It is really not an American type of water consumption! Probably only a 3rd or even a quarter of it...
100% and that’s before adding all the temporary access, unique codes, platform specific access, etc rackets.
It's basically how many times he's willing to make what should be an extremely risky bet. Normally that kind of play would be reckless and exploited by the other players, but for some reason it almost always works out for this guy.

MITM means that somebody can steal your passwords (including your bitwallet)

You can side load Apps into Android and install competing stores all day long. The objection I have is that Google doesn't let you delegate that authority, it's either "Let Google Manage It" or "Let everyone do whatever the hell they want".
Unlike e.g. blackjack, the house usually has no stake in who wins. For this reason it's always been easier to cheat at a poker table than at other gambling places.

> I mean, at the end of the day, it's learning the functional programming concepts that is supposedly going to make you a better programmer. Why not just start learning those in Java, Python, JS, etc.?

That could totally be possible for many, but for me, I need something more concrete. I had read about Haskell and the benefits of immutability and agreed from a high level, but until I actually used it, I didn't feel like I understood it.
I did read it. It doesn't actually confirm anything.
Several people mention having to buy many books for the courses but do they need to be bought new all the time? As in, does the school change the books required for courses every year? Why not buy or pass them from senior students down?

My school was maybe different because we didn't actually any books, we were given printed support for class or just had to take notes during lectures.
In the olden days as an undergrad I used the engineering library a little bit, mostly for the periodical indices and study nooks.

The main ugrad library was for napping in between classes.

Later in law school, the only time I did anything with the library was a onetime legal writing 'scavenger hunt' assignment that forced us to use different resources. I studied in other libraries because they were more convenient for me (less crowded)

He's not always in super-user/cheat mode. In 2019, he mostly is though. When he is, his phone is nowhere to be seen during action/hands (vs phone in plain sight during hands when not in super-user mode, eg, not making incredibly suspicious plays based on hand context, and not always making the perfect play according to what opponents have, almost never actually gets into those types of hand situations when not in God mode), he is very clearly looking down at his crotch when pretending to look at his cards before decisions, etc. It's plain as day when you start looking at the videos when he is "winning like god." And also when he is "normal," you see all the things that are not happening anymore that I described.

Take a look at this hand you which I find about as damning as any that you will see:

> “Google can bring you back 100,000 answers,” as the writer Neil Gaiman once said. “A librarian can bring you back the right one.”

I only did one year of law school, but taking this piece of advice (swap in Lexis/WestLaw/Bloomberg for Google) was a massive win. The librarians at the law library were so knowledgeable, and there was no rule against them using prior experience with the exact question to help the student out. They could also understand why you wanted a particular source.

Example: "I'm looking for the most binding precedent for random set of issues, as well as the 10 most recent cases that discuss the issue at hand. Also, are there any other sources or cases you know of that would be particularly relevant to the issues I mentioned?"

Lexis: Can probably find most binding precedent if you're good at navigating/filtering. Can definitely get you the 10 most recent cases, but you'll have to read them all to judge how useful they are . Can definitely get you other sources, but you'll have to do a general search and read through pretty much everything to filter. This will probably take at least a day just to collect everything and filter it to what's useful.

Law librarian: Might know the right precedent off the top of their head. If not, is an expert in Lexis and can find it much faster than you. Same for recent relevant cases. For other sources, not going to be able to get you a comprehensive list, but likely immediately knows of 5-10 places that are highly likely to be relevant. This will probably take 2 hours, max.
Because otherwise it would no be talked about on HN.

Nobody cares about the myriads of ugly, bad designed apps that are not useful.

Sure, each individual instance of suspicious behavior is circumstantial evidence by the formal legal standard. But this isn't a court of law, and as a fellow poker player, I want to know about this asap and not wait until it's been "proven" - I'm completely comfortable with the minuscule chance this is a false positive, as it's not a matter of life and death, but it is a matter of integrity of any game this guy would sit at. And the statistical evidence it's quite compelling - the guy is simply winning at a rate that no other players, even world class ones, achieve.
I agree, but keep in mind abiogenesis is probably one of the tallest orders for chemistry. I'm glad scientists are at least exploring possible explanations, even if it means possibly disproving the mechanisms.

Phone Company to Replace Last Manual Switchboard (1991)
VPIP - Voluntarily put in pot - So % of preflop hands where the player bet money. How 'active' a player is in terms of betting.

BB/100 is a calculation of how many 'big blinds' the player has won per 100, where big blinds is a specific $ amount. Effectively it's how profitable the player is.

As you can see, he's high on VPIP, which means he bets on a high percentage of hands. At the same time, his play remains highly profitable. It's so far out of the norm there's only one plausible explanation.
I'd think the linter would special-case the printf function since it's so rare to care about its return value.
Not meaning to sound ungrateful, but does anyone know of any _good_ dark themes for Calibre's ebook viewer? I found one on the web, but found it's generally easier to just use calibre to manage the files, but Atril or something similar to actually view it. This seems to especially be the case for books with code snippets and the like, like the ones I'm often getting via the Humble Bundle store.
Don't see how these two things are related.
At our university, you are required to submit a reading list when the course is ratified, and each year after that. Students complaining that the library didn’t have the books would come back to bite you as the lecturer did not telling the library which books to have.
Who said I was doing standard CRUD, and it seems like now you're defining HTTP requests as low-CPU activities just to make Lambda not fit explicitly. Nothing wrong with doing high-CPU activity in a request/response cycle if it's consistent and timely.
No that's not what the graph shows at all. It's just his win rate in terms of how many big blinds he's won per 100 hands played, against the percentage of hands he's choosing to play.
Expanding on this:

* GCP gave me the feeling it was designed with taste, through every layer. Comparing this to the desktop platform fight; think Apple. Quality over volume.

* AWS gave me the feeling it was designed without taste. Think Microsoft. Volume over quality.

I'm talking about the combination of service design criteria, APIs, documentation, etc.

Another way of thinking about it: GCP is clearly designed by hackers schooled in the ways of UNIX over a very long time. Simplicity and elegance is valued very highly in terms of designs. For AWS: Simplicity is clearly not a design goal.
Even proper support on iOS for Progressive Web Apps would help bridge this gap. On Android, you can go to a URL and receive a prompt to "install" it on your home screen. iOS keeps burying their equivalent more with each release and imposes way too many restrictions to web apps make it an alternative to the iOS App Store.
I literally, just this morning, found myself writing some annoying repeated glue-code, and realized I could shorten it up where it mattered by taking the glue and turning it into a type-class.

IMHO, people brag about type-classes too much with respect to the particular type-classes that embody category-theoretic constructions, and not enough about their original application to ad-hoc polymorphic overloading. If I can think of a Task X which I have to do for a variety of somewhat different types in somewhat different ways, but which is used in a polymorphic way, then I can absolutely make a type-class out of that.

It's like how people think the big secret to object-oriented programming is inheritance, but actual OOP experts tell you to prefer interfaces (which are almost-but-not-quite just like type-classes!) and abstain from building large inheritance hierarchies.

> It's always impressive when freely sharing knowledge and tips is somehow taken as being insular and exclusive.

But you didn't share knowledge. You suggested that you had knowledge that was pertinent to the topic at hand. But you didn't share it. You did share tips for resources where one can learn more, and that's great. But you didn't add something like "... and that's where I learned that pattern matching is undesirable because <technical reason>".

> Where did I say pattern matching is undesirable?

This whole thread was about you saying that pattern matching was undesirable from the point of view of Go's designers or implementors due to their design goal of simplicity. Then you mentioned those compiler resources. The only reasonable interperetation for me is that you wanted to say that you did indeed know concrete technical reasons why pattern matching in Go would be complicated and therefore undesirable.
Mostly because it's (almost) all proprietary. None of the companies are investing in a truly usable solution. It speaks volumes that a handful of developers working for free where able to create a vastly better experience with yosys and friends.

I think bans on types of weapons, and on tools that can be used as weapons tend to be based on public perception of who uses them, and for what purpose. Politicians do not consult masters of knife-based martial arts or designers of fighting knives when drafting legislation about knives. Politicians backing gun restrictions in the US famously tend to be unable to explain the function of features banned by their legislation.

One of my "sniff" test to evaluate a martial art is whether it is taught in the police academy or in the military. I used to rely on the Olympics to do this kind of evaluation but not now due to heavy inclination toward the "art" form more than "martial" form.

For example, Jiu-jitsu, Karate-jutsu, Krav maga are very popular among police academy & military camps around the world. Even Ken-jitsu is taught in Tokyo police academy as well, though not very popular outside of Japan. Those martial arts are designed not only to be very practical in physical contact (neutralize opponent in the shortest amount of time) but also increase the mental toughness. Their cousins (replace the jitsu with do) are more sporty and humane, thus popular in the Olympics.

Growing up watching a lot of Kung-fu/Wushu movies from Hong Kong, I was amazed how artistic it was: beautiful kicks, long-rally sparring time. After getting into Ken-do and boxing, I noticed a typical sparring match lasts at most a few minutes. Then, I came to realize that how a practical martial art is vs. the one with more emphasis on art form. I'm sure certain styles/forms of Kung-fu are more practical (i.e: focusing more on neutralize opponent) as they were intended to be. But over time, the dramatization of motion pictures destroy its original purposes.
I mostly agree, as it is today. But Vegas would not exist without the Hoover Dam.

And I'm all for improving civic development and people's standard of living, fully knowing that it's at some expense to nature. That still meets my definition of practical sustainability.

That said...

The Hoover Dam does have a design life and an expiration date. From an engineering perspective, that's sustainable as long as we have a replacement or mitigation plan figured out and in place by that date.

As for right now, there are real present day environmental costs, up and down river, and throughout the desert. The low flowrate of the lower Colorado certainly is not sustainable, although it's also certainly not 100% due to the Hoover dam. And Lake Mead is filling up much quicker than expected. Some people see that the status quo can't last forever, and say that's not sustainable.

It's not much different than New Orleans relationship with levees, although I suspect few people have thought of it that way.

Either way, to think that Vegas could survive without the Hoover Dam is flat out wrong. I'm not saying tear it down and move. I think it was the right decision to build the dam when they did. But if it weren't built yet, would it be the right decision to build it today? I doubt it, at least designed as is.
One of the most annoying aspects of this, minus the whole dying part, is the reactions it leads to after near-misses. Since people effectively "don't see" motorcyclists, they often assume we're "riding crazy" if there's a near miss, since from their POV we just warped into being a moment previous to the incident. People are already biased towards not blaming themselves, so this just makes it worse.

It's even worse in "accidents", where the motorcyclist might not be able to give their side of the story immediately due to injuries. Now the police report is heavily biased (in practice), which makes sure there will be future insurance issues.
>If you look at the list of vulnerabilities

If you look at THIS list of vulnerabilities, sure. That's not an exhaustive list of every problem standard VPNs have had though, you understand that right?

>So what value is Wireguard providing, exactly?

Even ignoring vulnerabilities entirely, OpenVPN and the like are full of footguns and are very, very easy to fuck yourself with. You talk about the value of practicality and solutions, which is very true, and that's just the point. One of the core aspects of modern security practice is making it hard to fuck up, the few knobs and dials the better. For example, older protocols still have obsolete awful crypto options that you shouldn't use, but precisely because they exist as choices at all you have to worry about misconfiguration or classes of issues like downgrade attacks. There are plenty more, like if you remember back during Logjam, tons of SSH/VPN/HTTPS servers were using identical prime numbers for Diffie-Hellman key exchange.

WG aims to be a better foundation for the VPN component of things. Contrary to your assertion, the problem it deals with isn't trivial and does matter. Having something that is focused on that rather then part of a gigantic blob makes it easier to verify, and also makes whatever auth and other systems it's ultimately tied into easier to verify. Also just plain lower overhead.

I mean, I'm barely touching on things here but there are good reasons a lot of people are enthusiastic about its potential.
Exactly, came to say this. The TL,DR should be, it actually is intuitive if you make specific assumptions.

By way of warning, GMMK uses a proprietary keyboard layout editor that only works on Windows (I tried running it in WINE and got nowhere). If editing your keyboard layout in firmware is important to you, I would recommend the Massdrop CTRL (TKL size) or ALT (67-key), which are similar keyboards with hot-swappable switches that run QMK firmware. (In addition to changing the backlighting colors and basic remappings like capslock to escape, QMK lets you do interesting things like add layers, or have a key behave one way when tapped and another way when held down and used as a modifier.) But if you can take care of all your layout needs in software, the GMMK is a great keyboard.
Textbook publishers release new editions, at which point they stop selling the old editions (so university bookstores can't easily stock old editions). Instructors then pretty much have to assign new editions.

Students looking to save money can buy old editions or international editions online, but then have to deal with page numbers, chapter order, and exercises being different than the book used by the rest of the class.

Frustratingly, publishers do this even for topics like calculus, which has not changed a lot since the last edition of the textbook!
For additional context, at most stakes being a 5-10bb/100 winner is considered being a very good player.

Basically every form of government that has ever existed at scale has devolved into an oligarchy. I know of none where "all citizen [sic], not some special citizens or a few citizens" are in power. A Sanders or Warren government would just have power in the hands of either Sanders or Warren and their respective cabinet and the other three branches of government. It would still be "some special citizens or a few citizens". I haven't seen a single proposal from them that would have then operating any differently from any previous executive administration this country has seen since 1776.
