As my former startup now subsidiary is being forced to abandon working products for inferior ones in the name of "enterprise" or some box checking version of "security" I also agree that this notion of enterprise software going away is a bit silly. They tried to hook some new enterprise ready expenses tool in and force us to use it. It exposed the entire pay structure of the company to anyone who wanted to know. We were back in the old product that worked before the official launch of the new one. We have had numerous people leave because of literally arbitrary policies like buying a meal at an airport is covered but buying a water or snacks is not a covered expense. I.e. your always forced to the most expensive option and in the same breath being told to reduce travel expenses. There now my rant is anecdotal too.
I use a third party notifier and I very much do not want it to become a default option. I know it makes me more likely to quickly reply to a reply, which is bad for the site if many do it.
I have been running manjaro Linux on my matebook x pro for like 6 months or so.
But because of work had to switched back to windows.
Do wonder now that Huawei is shipping their Matebook x pro with a linux distro(deepin) in China , maybe they will release/fix the finger print button.

Fair comment. I do find reading it much easier as well, which I guess boils down to familiarity, but when reading i don’t need to translate it hence my comment re writing.
It depends on what price you pay for Electricity, but paying for the electricity is more than half as cheap as paying for gas. Plus in the US there are so many free chargers, I just charge my car at the office.

> So the reader is expected to read and understand 9 chapters before writing the first program?

Not at all. Haskell has a REPL, so anything involving output is defined as pure functions, then executed at the REPL. For example, here's Quicksort: http://learnyouahaskell.com/recursion#quick-sort That's from Chapter 5.

> I certainly wouldn't be able to learn anything that way.

Certainly not by only reading the table of contents, sure.
>I have always thought (non-scientific, highly subjective text ahead) that a big part of the problem (the behavioral side) is that I never talk about the events of my life with others.

I've had the same hunch. I think some memories need repeating so that you can continue remembering them. Most of the memories that I have from my early childhood are ones that I think about once in a while. I had three serious falls with a skateboard before the age of 7, but I only remember the worst of the falls. It's the one I always thought of when I was reminded of those falls (broke a tooth, so any time I look in the mirror I might be reminded of it). At this point I only remember that I did fall before the worst one and I remember the extent of my injuries, but I don't even remember the specific place of it.
This would help, but a fundamental problem is that unsafe behavior isn't checked very well (since your odds of killing someone are still pretty low).

Generally, I think, we need to error more on the side of license suspension (hell, a good percent of people that have licenses really shouldn't) and less on prison - especially for unsafe behavior. In CA, a 2nd time DUI results in only a 1 year license suspension -- that's ridiculously short for someone who has repeatedly proven themselves unable to drive safely.
I also did this once for someone who walked into the street. She had the right of way, and she wasn't staring at her cellphone. She started to cross because the crosswalk indicated she was allowed to, but a car was running the red light at the same time. Just wanted to say that not being glued to a phone isn't always enough.

Side note, maybe I am a dick, but I refuse to get out of the way of another pedestrian who is staring at their phone. Just a pet peeve of mine, but I really dislike when people move around without being aware of their surroundings, as if it's everyone else's responsibility to make way for them. (Children and people I could hurt just by bumping into them get a pass.)
Fantastic to see Medium competition. I've been so frustrated with "let's make it official"-esque messages. Best of luck - I will be using you!
The installer as designed was able to download code and execute it - so there was obviously a way to do it on Android.
Now you've experienced what school is like for bright kids. ;-)

For better or worse, the pay scale in most districts in the US guarantee a salary bump for having a higher degree. As a result, there are degree programs tailored to this need, that are practically degree mills. Why didn't you study math, or science?
If it was from anywhere else other than vice I'd agree the title's pretty clickbaity, but that's pretty much what I expect from them.

I'm not sure how i really feel about AR games. They look kind of fun, but I've seen a lot of people get really into Pokemon go, to the point where they put themselves at risk. I was in a car with a guy that played it when he suddenly threw his phone at me so I could catch a Pokemon for him while he turned left on a 4 way intersection onto a 6 lane road. That scared the shit out of me, he had been trying himself with his phone on the steering wheel before he realized how dangerous he was being. It was almost as bad as being in a car with a drunk driver.
EDIT: It now works. Not sure what was up before. Thanks, this makes sense and looks really seamless!
And at least you're open that you care little about anything else apart from your personal comfort. All the externalities associated with you driving while having perfectly good alternatives should be suffered by the rest of us.
With human variation in general, and brain function in particular, it is important to keep in mind the question, "does this (significantly) (negatively) affect your quality of life?"
Hnreplies is faster.... within a minute or two ...
Eh, I strongly disagree with this characterization. I did c++ for a few years at Google and am now back to developing in it, and I'd say it's probably my favorite language to work in a codebase that sets the right constraints on it. But that doesn't change the fact that it is replete with unintuitive footguns even for those comfortable/experienced with it, in a way that Python or Java absolutely isn't.

The closest thing i can think of in Python is passing a mutable object (like an empty list) as a default param value. C++ is littered with bug-prone landmines like that.
> It similarly turns me off into trying to discuss this constructively, even though my experience of Haskell is almost a complete opposite of what you're saying here. I guess that leaves space for only low-effort discussion and people happy to hear that Haskell turns out to not be worth it after all.

Let's hope there's another alternative: that those of us with seemingly opposite experience and opinion to mlthoughts2018 can encourage him/her to share more so that we can all learn something beneficial to our lives.
It is an option to explore, particularly regarding using biomass. I see some concerns about it though:

- CO2 emission of gas power plants,

- dependence on the import of natural gas - it means dependence on Russia.
I’ve been using HN Replies for years and have nothing to say against it. Clean, only minimal functionality, delivery is prompt—kudos to maintainer.
I assume this is caused by having "Autofill" turned on?
If you can code a solution, then you probably aren't in the core market for this product.

But, perhaps one day in the future, I might be able to add a script or plugin node, so you can add your own custom transforms.
The article is called "you are already smart enough to WRITE Haskell" not "LEARN Haskell".

I think the point is that Haskell is quite powerful and useful without learning the whole of it. Basically, nobody knows the whole of it.

This is a perspective worth considering. The bones of Haskell are great and it's academic origins (god bless them) have it running around in knight's armor and a tutu (or something).

You could most likely use it effectively on a properly advised, disciplined team ("we don't use language extensions").

It might also get dressed up in other clothing and be what we're all using some day. The power and expressivity seem immense.

Imagine, for example, if the Rust documentation team got a hold of it. Holy crap!
All politics is local. Nobody ever believes that experiences elsewhere apply to their polity, which is different and special.

Having lived in a few places I've seen it again and again.
I had to skim but that articles seems more of a gripe with “p-bits” being an even dumber concoction of standard computers

No, that doesn't seem to be the case to me.
I don't own a car, and rely mostly on public transit, but "they have basically no upsides" is just bullshit, sorry.

They can transport a group of people, plus significant amounts of load, together, quickly, in relative comfort, at any time, directly from/to a specific place.

It's not practical to have acceptable public transit everywhere and to use it for every purpose.

> a lot of people

~4k out of a population of 320M is not a lot. That's less than what smoking kills in a week. Or, if you look at it differently: assuming a life expectancy of 80 years, if you inconvenience 320M people by two minutes a day, you have taken away a total of ~5.5k human lifetimes from the population.
Citing wikipedia: "Vitamin K is a group of structurally similar, fat-soluble vitamins found in foods and in dietary supplements", but of course drugs always contains also other substances - so different label drugs do differ and can have different side effects.

Herd immunity is indeed the part that makes the whole thing political and difficult, because it is a common good. But in a healthy debate there should be a place for people sceptical about something - they should not be automatically demonized.

I don't quite understand what you write about my feelings - because I don't identify as antivaxxer, I vaccinated my children and I trust the scientific data in general. I just feel better thinking that there are people who read the leaflets and double check the doctors and I don't think they should be vilified even if in the most part these people are not reasonable in their distrust. I also believe that it is better if we don't mandate trust in vaccination - but let people make their minds individually, even if we sometimes lose herd immunity, because the alternative authoritarian system leads to worse things.
Not to refute your findings but it seems unfair to call commonly selected aberrations not hidden complexity and the Java memory model as such. The only things you can compare is the complexity inherent to the task vs that which is added by the choice of implementation which is subjective based on familiarity.

This would only work if the penalties were enforced a very large percentage of the time someone did something unsafe, regardless of the outcome. Humans respond to light punishments consistently applied far better than harsh punishments rarely applied.

It would be far more effective if you applied a $5 fine every time a person looked at their phone screen while driving than if you instituted the death penalty which applied only when a distracted driver kills a pedestrian.
You need it for a deeper understanding of type classes and algebraic data types. You can get by without it but I would say your understanding of things like a "functor" will be flawed.
Yes. All of the Haskell we write for our business is boring. More here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21145872
Jim and Harry's Trebuchet was built in part at the Exploratorium and was tested in the Marin Headlands. They were not allowed to chuck rocks into the ocean so they marked all of the rocks used for their tests with the tag "This is not a rock", a paean to surrealist Rene Magritte.
Fun rabbit hole here about the III FR80, the computer used to make the effects. 1970s computer that could scan and print to film stock. There's a great website that's preserved a lot of info on this computer here: http://www.chilton-computing.org.uk/acl/technology/fr80/over...

III (or Triple-I) was a computer company founded by Edward Fredkin. He's a fascinating early computer scientist, doing pioneering work in cellular automata, reversible computing, as well as more mundane things like the trie data structure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Fredkin
True, but a lot of those marginal benefits (over say electric bikes) exist because our society ended up being designed around everyone having a car.

This manifests itself in several ways:

1. Low-density sprawl. Without the auto, density would be higher and it'd be possible to get to wherever you need to be on alternate forms of transit (biking and public transit are much more viable)

2. Prioritization: Already in an urban (or higher density suburban) environment, at commute times, biking is barely slower than driving (in part due to congestion and parking overhead) on city streets. It'd actually be faster than driving is today if it weren't for infrastructure explicitly prioritizing cars (long signals, freeways and expressways blocking the shortest path, etc.)

If you did a "do-over design", with high-capacity electric batteries and smartphones, you could probably achieve mostly car-less, higher density cities (barring delivery and emergency vehicles) around (e-)bikes and public transit, with cars more used for leisure/travel or folks lacking mobility. Population would also be a lot more physically fit.
I listen to podcasts very frequently, and I just tried this. It's pretty effective for me. It also made me a little more aware of how boring and repetitive my life's been in the past few weeks... I now have some impetus to try to do more interesting things.
It's an ASP.net core website. I have a 3 droplets powering it $5 for web, $5 for utilities, and a $25 droplet for the HN Api crawler.

My API crawler is an C# console app that just increments the last crawled item until it gets a 404 then sleeps for 60 seconds. I currently have just over 3GB of data from the API.
But isn’t the quality of discussions a different problem?
Yeah. Some states have passed laws preventing this nonsense.

People are so worried about looking “poor” that they waste electricity on the dryer rather than using the sun to dry their clothes. I mentioned using a clothesline once to someone else in the USA, who was shocked and responded they weren’t poor and wouldn’t want their neighbors to be scandalized by drying clothes in the sun.

There at least are 19 states in the USA that have passed laws outlawing solar drying bans, unfortunately I think most of these laws only apply to homeowners and not to rented apartments.
I like how it is. I have to actively go to my comments when I feel like it. That means I never end up in the situation that I get some notification where I have to immidiately answer in the heat of the moment.

I wish more of the internet was like this.
Well that's no good. I will have to fix that when I get home this afternoon.

Thanks buddy. Also thanks for being my beta tester!
Are you crawling firebase or algolia?
Short answer no. No business is sustainable without startup money from somewhere. The problem is the wealthy have so much money and there's not enough money at the ground level to buy the new products so without dumping money into crazy new ideas they can't ever grow their money at the top. It's a self limiting factor of capitalism, for the system to function properly money must be evenly distributed amongst those with needs to be fulfilled.
I agree. I never said TSA.

It's a 5 minute delay. But it can be changed easily.
Design of cars can be as much a safety issue as design of roads. The Honda Civic I drive will auto-play whatever audio my phone was last playing when it syncs via Bluetooth. It does so inconsistently, and somewhere between 30 seconds and 2 minutes after successfully syncing.

Talk about a sudden and needless distraction. What engineer thought this was a good idea?

I've taken to using a 5mm cord to connect my phone to the car speakers so I can control what plays and when it plays. Thankfully my phone still has a 5mm jack.

Trying to anticipate what the user wants is obnoxious, but it becomes dangerous when the computer doing so is installed in a heavy metal box with an engine and the ability to move fast.
I would be okay with this but only if it's turned off by default and I can subscribe to specific threads/replies.
I think what is confusing me about this is the need for categorization of something that by definition does not have a categorization (non-binary). Why would a new set of pronouns be needed to categorize such a non-homogeneous group when neutrality already captures everyone between the normal binary categorizations?
Goto is only de rigueur in terrible languages that are unable to release function-local resources automatically. It is an intentional choice by kernel authors to ignore all progress in our field after 1988 and insist on writing everything in C. It’s not the goto statements that are the problem, rather it is the culture that necessitates them.
I've seen this image before (and many more like it), and it's truly sad what we've done to our cities.

But the good thing is, parking lots are huge opportunities for developers. I'm from DC, and the city has radically developed itself over the past few decades in turning what used to be entire blocks of surface parking lots into massive apartment and office buildings up to ten floors tall. It's very easy to develop a parking lot; that land tends to be relatively cheap to acquire and demolition costs basically nothing.
>If you're in the USA and fill your tank once a week, you probably spend ~$2000/yr in gas. And that's how much you'd save in gas if you went electric.

The electric bill makes a big difference, because you're really looking at the relative cost of two different forms of energy -- electrical and chemical (fuel). The last time I calculated it, the cost of running an ICE was around 20% more expensive (in my area) than a BEV, but a PHEV was within a percent or so of owning a BEV.

I'm curious to know what percentage of EV owners in Norway have a second car. I'd imagine the uptake rate for families that can afford to own more than one vehicle is significantly higher than for those that can't, but I've never seen any stats on the matter. The reality is that for most people, a car is the second largest purchase they'll ever make (if not the largest), so utility has to be high on the list of priorities. I'm not entirely convinced EVs have the utility to overtake ICE vehicles just yet, especially when incentives are removed.
This is not true. For example, The typeclassopedia contains all you need to know about functors and doesn't go into detail about the underlying Category Theory.
I understand what you're saying but it's seriously not a huge problem — usually there's context to figure out what a sentence means.
”Very little efficiency is lost in transmission cables and in the electric motor”

It’s not that clear-cut. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_car_energy_efficiency:

”Taking the conversion factor of 2.58 in France into account (see Embodied energy#Electricity), we would find an efficiency of about 0.5/2.58 or 19 %, which corresponds to the order of magnitude of the balance of the combustion vehicles, according to the diagram of the Department of energy (where the efficiency of combustion vehicles is less than 20%). By the way, according to the French energy agency (ADEME), the primary energy consumption of electric vehicles and combustion-powered ones would be approximately equivalent”

I think that even ignores the higher weight of electric cars. Because of that, I think it’s better for the world to buy a small ICE than to buy a Tesla (for the local environment, things are different)
Thanks so much for your support. We hope it becomes a useful place for the community. Always keen to hear feedback.
I don't know about your area, but where I live the police set up checkpoints along common routes home from popular bars/restaurants to catch drunk drivers. Drunk drivers get caught extremely often and many of them lose their licence for long periods of time.

This does not discourage drunk driving as much as you would think. It does remove a lot of the drunk drivers from the road by force, however.
Yes. Especially because I am sure Haskell and similar languages have failure modes, in which the seemingly magical sauce I've personally experienced might not work, for one reason or another. I do believe that mlthoughts2018 worked in such an environment/codebase and it would be extremely useful to figures out what variables are involved in that.
A computer screen is real. The images are symbolic of non real things, but the images are real.

And especially to the point, since you are (controversially) claiming that raw sensory input is the core of memory, not interpretation of it, it's incoherent to claim that a visual artwork is less memorable than whatever the art represents.
“I refuse to use an airline with a digital currency attached to it”

“I refuse to use a credit card with a digital currency attached to it”

But since nobody says that, you lose your mind when a blockchain based one is used? Which is also as entirely optional as the above programs? Which you use as an ad hominem attack to add non-sequiturs to any contribution under the “Brave” brand such as this ZK VPN system which doesn't even use the digital currency? Fascinating, lets revisit this “taboo” next year to see if it is one at all!

As per the title, where do you guys get your cheap servers? I mean subscription-based, not server hardware. I'm a student and I'm looking for something cheap for hosting personal experiments and websites. Thought that people on HN might have the answer and be interested in the answer, too.
Because cars are often the fastest and most convenient, and sometimes only practical, way to get from A to B.

Even in places with excellent public transport, there will be trips where cars are necessary, either because that specific public transit connection is atrocious (e.g. 10 minutes by car turn into 40+ minutes public transit), or you need to transport more than you can carry.

I don't own a car, and I suffer from their effects, but I do recognize their usefulness.
Cameras are effective but only if deployed widely enough that they aren’t a surprise or annoyance. We need red light cameras at every intersection and speed cameras on every road.

Lightly deployed cameras do end up being what you say they are because people just mark them on Waze and drive carefully only in a certain area.
