Funny how that keeps being said about most of Germany's neighbouring countries... usually the claim is they'd import nuclear energy from France. Also funny how, in net terms, this never happens, and Germany has pretty consistently been a net exporter of electricity.
Did you click through to the article? The HN title is (currently) "Learning Haskell is no harder than learning any other programming language". The article's actual title is "You are already smart enough to write Haskell".

You appear to be responding to what a zealous mod wrote not what anyone actually believes.

Between taking a term in statistics/law 101/ and learning Greek I would always go for the first group.

I am trilingual, but I have never found anything in natural languages to be useful for programming (well, apart from knowing English because most of the software is written in it). Moreover - learning syntax of a programming language is the easiest part.

The hardest part for natural languages are your vocab/familiarity with the culture, and the hardest part of programming languages is your familiarity with the ecosystem/libraries.
The article is mixing a few different points in a strange way. Paris has an excellent subway system with about 350 stations, everywhere you want to go there is a subway station less than 500 meters away, sometimes you have 2-3 stations in this range. There is also the RER that connects to surrounding cities and villages. Driving is Paris does not make too much sense to me. But building lots of bicycle lanes is not making any significant difference, as a person that used to use the bicycle to commute to the office I can tell I had just 6-7 months when I was able to do that - in hot summer and in the middle of the winter it is simply too unpleasant to use the bicycle.

On the other side, the article suggests part of the disagreement with the mayor is because she is a woman. Well, that is a bad excuse, I don't think anyone has a problem with her gender.

Then it mentions the piss smell. Yes, it is there, it is terrible, but greening and piss have no relationship. There are some obvious causes for the piss smell in some neighborhoods, but they are not even mentioned because it does not match the political color of the newspaper. No comment.

But then it jumps into the Airbnb problem: while this is a real problem, it has nothing to do with "greening" the city. It should be discussed separately, not thrown in the pot and stirred just to put more words in the article or put more substance in the list of problems, even if there is no link to the subject.

Of course, but this project is like a car maker inviting the press to present a new model and showing a couple different windshields ("we aren't sure about the angle") and not even a picture. There are standards: a car needs complete prototypes, and a programming language needs something that it does better than the competition and a decent explanation of how cool it is.

This is so true, Medium started paywalling free content a couple of months ago. This means people leading on your blog, wanting to read your content and being prevented to do so unless they pay Medium.
I see the point, but I consider this more an indictment of ISPs than complexity or IaC or more abstractions.

Even if I saw that the update was modeled as delete/insert, I probably would have okayed it.

I agree with everything you are saying. But reminds me of the early days of anti lock braking and in particular all sorts of now more common electronic driving controls. In particular 'can't defy the law of physics'. A car spinning out will not stop spinning just because you have those breaks it's already in motion.

In the case of your friend he did something stupid and got into a situation that he was not prepared for (I had to look up bakkat makki). He didn't recognize the bottle as being dangerous which in retrospect unless you think movies are real is kind of obvious.

It would be interesting to analyze these abilities from the viewpoint of evolutionary adaptation.

Perhaps from the perspective of a band of proto-humans, it was highly adaptive for some members of the tribe to have strong episodic memories, but not necessary for everyone.

Similarly, it was probably highly adaptive for a few members to be gifted with a structured, logical approach to problem-solving. Given the development of language, the whole tribe benefits from the specialized abilities of various members.
Watching some videos of people flying these things on YouTube, it's almost like they want the aviation agencies to crack down on them.

I've seen; low level acrobatics, low flight over people, guys taking off with no training and no instruction.

Reckless airmanship leads to deaths, but the paramotorists often blame it on the equipment, because without any agency investigating, there is only speculation.

There is an electric paramotor, with four drone like blades. That thing looks awesome; instead of the sounds and vibration of a 2-stroke engine strapped to your back, it's silent when you let off the throttle to glide. And no worries about will that lawnmower start up again.
A factory method returns instances, but there is no obligation for those instances to be created on demand or each time the function is called. Some Singleton implementations only initialize the Singleton object at first call, for example, and other implementation units the object at startup.

I think we need another license class for vehicles larger than your average 4-door sedan (or saloon, in the UK). An F-150, Highlander, or Suburban drive and handle appreciably different than the Civic or Accord-sized vehicle that most drivers-ed classes use. And it shows when you see how people park or drive these larger vehicles in crowded areas. We’ve essentially discounted the increase in vehicle size to whether you can get financing for it, with no regard to your ability to drive it.
Great tutorial! I’ve always wondered how this is implemented, and how I could add it to my scripts. The interface seems simple enough.
There are at least 5 providers that will rent you a $5/month server: DigitalOcean, Lightsail, Linode, UpCloud and Vultr. There's a guy that publishes benchmarks of their $5 instance regularly

https://joshtronic.com/2019/09/02/vps-showdown-digitalocean-...

DigitalOcean is by far the most popular. Personally, I like Vultr because they also have $2.50 IPv6 only instances and you can upload your own ISO file if you want to try a less popular Linux distribution. Both services have similar user interfaces that are pretty good.

That being said, $60/year is still a lot. If you can get away with just a static site, try GitHub pages https://pages.github.com/. You only get one (unless you create GitHub organizations) but it's free. You can still have your own domain pointing to it with TLS (free through Let's Encrypt). You miss out on the fun of managing a Linux server unfortunately.

I was recently in Rostock Germany and I saw plenty of pedestrian areas closed to traffic but with signs saying "feuerwehrzufahrt" which means "fire truck access road". The pedestrian area was protected with bollards or fences that could be unlocked by emergency vehicles who needed access.

So many problems that we Americans fight about have been solved ages ago in other countries around the world with far less drama. We're not as unique as we think we are.
Pretty sure at this point they’re just focused on getting feedback on the design before actually doing work on creating the tool. See this thread: https://twitter.com/filosottile/status/1180861642546073600?s...

It's not just excessive abstraction, separating Singleton and SingletonFactory can even reduce encapsulation since you can't make the Singleton constructor private.
It's all about cost reduction I guess.
Because of our pervasive rejection of logic/math/science/engineering we also cannot get rewarded for what did not happen. Even in supposed engineering driven businesses, the lack of rigor is astonishing. Use science, double check your work, map out the cognitive blind spots. Humans are drama addicted, short attention span, hairless chaos monkeys that like to look heroic fixing existing problem, and ignore impending ones.
You'll probably convince more people by citing evidence to support your claims instead of using ad homs.
"Limited areas where flight is allowed" is actually very permissive; in class G airspace you could go anywhere. If you take a VHF radio and ADS-B out transponder with you and have done the radio exam from the PPL, in theory you could call up the Tower at a class B/C/D Airport and ask to land. At deltas they might actually let you.
I've been working on a game project over the past year. Everyone I had shown videos to was supportive. I felt like I got a lot done in a short few months. But no one other than myself had gotten their hands on the game proper.

I had planned on doing a single point of release when it was finished. I'd done that with a game release before however. After months of work release day came, the game flopped, and by a week later it was more or less lost to the void. Not wanting the same to happen on this project I changed my mind and released it as it was one random weekend.

It had very little documentation, and even worse known bugs and crashes. But a couple people downloaded it and one guy liked the concept enough to kick me $5. By the next week I had some more info on what those people liked and what they could live without. I had motivation to fix some bugs that I had learned to work around in my using of the game. My development rate on the game has gone up significantly since releasing it in an unfinished state, and the community is very small but two months later the game hasn't dropped into the internet void.

I can sympathize with the mindset of "I've been working on this in a vacuum and just want someone else to see it, warts (or lack of content) and all". In my case it's worked out for the benefit of the project as well.

I have dual boot Linux running on two Macbooks at home. You don’t have to overwrite OSX.
All that and for the average consumer most of their software is 3-5 years behind everything else. The desktop experience is silky smooth 95% of the time and that’s the only thing keeping me there. That 5% is starting to become a problem for me, though. I got an LG 5k display that apple helped develop, it was the display they tried to sell with MacBook pros in apple stores. If I try to use it with my lid open the graphics hw overheats and the screen freezes and flickers. I have to use the screen with the lid closed. Unacceptable for a $5k setup.

That’s in addition to a series of other annoying hardware issues with that laptop. Don’t get me started about the keyboard.

Apparently average price per gallon in Norway is $7.06[1]. Today, I paid $2.42 for gas in rural Illinois. So 3x, but I also pay less for electricity in general, so idk if it pays off.

I probably spend around $1500/year on gas with my 17-25mpg Jeep.

Honestly, Tesla really still can’t compete with the fact I have to haul stuff and drive a few hundred miles. so not an option for me anyway.

There's a big difference between "the average SUV" that you're talking about and "a big SUV" that the other person is talking about. A Ford Escape is just a taller hatchback, but a Ford Explorer or Expedition are a different story.
Although things you can do doesn't actually change. I'd say the doubled cpu and memory improve the user experience as you no longer need to close program due to memory and cpu inefficient. You can just let them open and switch back as you want. Doesn't means anything for people doesn't use computer in this way though.
Not really. There is a repetition, but that is a minor issue that does not deserve a comment. The title is definitely overly complex for what it wants to tell, but that's just modern journalism/

Same, trilingual as well.

There have been studies that show children with a bilingual upbringing tend to score higher in school.

So it might indirectly help with programming, or at least help with learning to program.
> If the city has any ambition to be a melting pot for all, it needs to allow everyone to coexist.

Which is an excellent argument for public transport, the point of it is to serve everyone rather than those who can afford to own and run a car and those how have the ability to drive.

I can't comment to NYC public transit but there are plenty of cities around the world with reliable and effecient public transport, don't write it off completely because NYC's is subpar. The idea is not to ban cars completely but to make taking alternatives easier and better than taking a car, in doing that we need to divert some of the money and land that cars have historically dominated.
If so, that's a step backwards - on my MX150 system, both nouveau and the proprietary driver can turn the card off (indeed, that's about all nouveau can do, and it does it by default).
No he's not. Mac addresses only have to be unique within your subnet.
I think many pedestrians (including boarders, bicyclists, etc.) don't help things at all by also (in some proportion) constantly looking at devices and in many cases also clogging their ears with turned up music and podcasts.
You are taking a coding test because the recruiter cannot evaluate you based on a conversation. Even if they were talented enough to be able to, they are not trusted enough by boss / client. The money they make is so good for recruiting a person, it drives a lot of people to push for people who cannot do the job, just for the commission.

<Story Time> A few years back I was looking for work without much luck. Finally I get a call from a head hunter that wanted to place me in a contract. It was short duration, only a month, but as much OT as I wanted. Pay was also very good. They wanted a DB guy. Although I am mostly coder, I do love DB and am more talented at DB than you typical coder. Digging deeper I found out they wanted someone to work at hardening (defense) the DB from intruders. Well that was well outside of my skill set. I refused to take the job as I knew the actual customer would not be happy, and I did not want a reputation for claiming to do stuff I was not capable of.
> She started to cross because the crosswalk indicated she was allowed to, but a car was running the red light at the same time.

Hmm. I've found far too often drivers ignore right of way of pedestrians unless you start walking, that being said running a red light is worse.
I guess it's an ad?
>The shape of the asteroid's surface is topography. That's independent of the coordinate system.

I would have stated this first.

You don't really need a equipotential surface or even vertical datum, unless you're trying to model potential energy, uphill and downhill, the flow of a river, or the gravity well. All of which are unlikely to be known or easily measurable on an astroid.

And if all you want to do is look at the geometry of a surface, you don't need, or even want to use a horizontal datum and projection. It will just overcomplicate the math.

Lat long or a similar polar (or elipsiodal) coordinate system using orthometric height from the origin (or an arbitrary "zero" datum height) will be much easier. Especially in the case of a body without existing coordinate systems or projections that need to be "tied-in."

On the other hand, there are cases where using the GPS style coordinate system makes more sense (which is just an x,y,z or x,y,H version of lat, long, height. Yes, at it's heart, GPS uses Cartesian x,y,z). This is especially true if you're not concerned with defining an ellipsoid, prime meridian or equator. (Especially true for shapes that might not rotate, or fit well to an elipsiod or sphere.)

The thing to remember is that coordinate systems and projections mainly exist to translate between the many different ways people have been mapping and measuring the Earth for hundreds or thousands of years. Sometimes there are good reasons for these different methods (shape, area, directional constraints), and sometimes it's advanced tech/ systems (SI vs Imperial, Clarke elipsiod vs Hayford , or convenience/locality (relating Rose line observations with those made in Greenwich), or national security (USA not wanting nuclear icbm targeting stolen by USSR to be useful/meaningful/etc).

I say that to say this: If you're doing everything from scratch, there's no need to complicate things. Stick to the simplest math that works for the projects demands. There's nothing wrong with spherical polar or xyz.

The mayor, Anne Hidalgo, has said she wants Paris to be a place "where you can let go of your child’s hand." I think that's beautiful. People sacrifice so much freedom to allow cars to dominate their space.
I'm unclear how that's relevant in this case...

Yes projections need to be specified... The datum and ellipsoid are part of the projection. No, you won't be able to pass your custom datum along to an external service and have it recognize it automatically. That doesn't change the fact that you can define it locally and have your local tools recognize it. proj4 et al will happily let you define custom ellipsoids and register a new datum and work with projections on that ellipsoid and datum. You can view that just fine in QGIS et al.

Also, WMS is pretty niche and not too widely used partly because it supports things like this use case and is therefore quite complex. I wouldn't bring WMS into this. However, if you want to, the projection specifications it uses _also allow for custom ellipsoids_. You can happily request things in a projection with a non Earth ellipsoid -- it's just a matter of whether the WMS server supports it.
Put another way: don't go looking for a nail just because you have a hammer.
sweet, i'll add this.

is this mentioned anywhere in the docs? seems non-obvious.
