Thank you.

Wrt your physics "tough spot" observation, yes that's my understanding as well.

I think the concern is just that this is hugely expensive and there appears to be no guarantee or even confidence that it will get us out of that difficulty.

I don't know whether this is true or not, but either way, working with Haskell makes my job more enjoyable than if I was writing some other language anyway.
> So do other languages. Why is Haskell special in this regard?

I never suggested other programming languages don’t also have value. Again, if you want to educate yourself further on a specific technology’s benefits, I invite you to make use of a search engine instead of sea-lioning on a technical forum.

> None that seem to address the problem of diminishing returns.

That’s your opinion. Nobody is forcing you to like Haskell. You are free to just ignore it.
My knack for spotting performative contradictions didn't sway you towards Deskartes?
Maybe things have changed since 2005 when I first used it but Haskell was certainly harder for me and the people I knew to learn than other languages. For languages of a similar power I can see Haskell being similar difficulty to learn. But compared with something like Python the amount of effort needed to go from zero knowledge to being able to write some sort of program that produces some useful real world results is much higher in Haskell.

I say this as someone who quite likes Haskell, when you have a problem that fits well with Haskell it's really amazing.
You might be on to something.

I just deleted mine. Then I discovered on that delete page that you have to separately delete the accounts you might have on other exchanges. This is bad UX.

I searched the net for a bit and it seems the way to do it is via:

- https://stackoverflow.com/contact

- Select Other in the drop-down list,

- Then you enter a message that you want them to do delete your accounts for you.

Many people get a vaccine at a pharmacy here. What you're saying is simply untrue.

Also, I (doctor) give the vaccine for free (government stock). The vast majority of patients that come to our clinic get it done by the nurse and the patient isn't seen by a doctor so we can't even get reimbursed by Medicare for the service. Our nurse's time is donated by the practice. The room is donated by the practice. The vaccine is donated by the government.

But sure, let's make blanket complaints about how doctors are holding everyone's health for ransom.
> The post-crash investigation indicated that she had probably been watching the singing contest The Voice on her phone.

It's not just the drivers that are being distracted by their phones - pedestrians are as well. Every time I drive downtown, I'm having to make allowances for people with a total lack of situational awareness because they're walking around heads-down.

I'm not singling out the pedestrians - the drivers are equally at fault. Like the guy in the GL450 on I-85 last night who couldn't stay in his lane at 70mph because he was checking his phone.
Cars don’t kill pedestrians; drivers kill pedestrians. This is a case of lopsided stakes: pedestrians have everything to lose in case of car-on-ped collision, while drivers will merely have their day’s schedule derailed. The fundamental problem here is that drivers simply don’t care, and fail to operate their vehicles with due compassion towards vulnerable road users. An attentive driver who accelerates modestly and takes the time to become sure of his surroundings will not collide with anything: pedestrian, cyclist, another vehicle, or street furniture.

I believe strongly in robust mechanisms for keeping drivers responsible. Unfortunately, at least where I live, the justice system is completely impotent and unwilling to punish drivers for causing serious bodily harm or death. A system of heavy fines or imprisonment targeted at drivers would have resolved the inattention issue quicker than a typical driver can make a three-point turn. A year’s worth of income, or one year of imprisonment, for any car-on-ped collision would do the trick.
This is certainly a nice idea. But this is only usable for transporting smaller goods in small or medium amounts. This would not suffice to stock a busy grocery store, for example.
What is this thing that you reading from and writing to?

It sounds mutable.
It's not unique to Haskell, and I wouldn't say condescending. More like patronizing and a little infantile. 'Learn you a Haskell' is in the same tone.

Ultimately most of these are just imitations of the 'poignant guide to ruby' which is probably responsible for starting the trend of whimsical and zany programming guides.
The batteries are sealed, so pouring water on them doesn't cause a reaction with the lithium inside them. It does carry away heat, and all fires require heat to burn.
An interesting side effect of the new safety regulations for cars is that their weight has increased. A base VW golf weighs 3,000 pounds and has huge blindspots where the roll-over-ready columns are. The safety regulations only maximize safety for drivers in the event of an accident. They do nothing to minimize the chance of accidents or the deadlines of accidents to pedestrians. Science lagged legislation.

It is a common pattern in HN that a popular post on a topic will cause a spate of postings on the same topic by other HN readers.

That's simply because HN readers will often do some additional web surfing on that topic, and then share back some HN worthy discoveries.

It's a virtuous cycle.
this was one of the games on lumosity a long time ago. I thought all the brain training games including the n-back games were debunked as they had been shown to be non-transferrable.
The only condescension I see in Haskell-related discussion is condescension towards Haskellers, claiming that Haskellers are condescending and say condescending things like writing condescending tutorials.

As I see it it’s actually not very nice.

With the utmost respect, truly, humbly: I am against this custom that it’s just fine to call well-meaning people for condescending. As it appears to me, claiming condescendence is more of a statement of the claimant, but this is still an unfortunate custom. Who are we really to claim condescension? Really?

The article linked to in the post starts off with quotes from people who directly state that they feel like they would need to be smarter to use Haskell. It’s a common thing. The article addresses that. It is literally the opposite of condescension.

Then there’s the burrito tutorials with pictures. I for one actually think in weird abstract sloppy metaphors and colors. My head really is full of burritos and inaccuracies. I was helped enormously by the burrito concept. Textbooks generally don’t speak in burritos. I work with people to whom the burrito class of analogies is not helpful. They think in a more direct and crystalline way. I wish I were more like them. And I try try to be. And I can. And it makes me better. And I really do think I also bring something to the table by spraying flaming burrito concepts and lateral jumps into the team zeitgeist.
If you can score 150% in a class it was probably a joke class to begin with, that's some ridiculous opportunity for grade inflation.

How does this work in the context of CSS? Do people making websites need to understand how WebKit paints the screen?

The word “effectively” seems rather arbitrary here too.
I guess it ultimately boils down to productivity. I mean that's what high level programming languages are built for to begin with right?
You need to use the IO monad to write "hello world". So it is naturally the first question a newcomer will ask. But for example "Learn you a Haskell" http://learnyouahaskell.com/chapters postpones "hello world" to chapter 9, after explaining things like type classes. So the reader is expected to read and understand 9 chapters before writing the first program? This is ridiculous - I certainly wouldn't be able to learn anything that way.
The one thing that made monads clearer for me was this thing https://youtu.be/b0EF0VTs9Dc Monads and Gonads

It's probably condescending for haskellers because it shows that monads are not some enshrined primary concept but just a kind of dumb wrapper you can write in any language and you do when it's useful for you.

This needs a demo or a link to one in the first quarter of the page. The way it stands now it's just a description some solution of a very generic problem with no specifics.

fjfaase, your statement "An electrical car produces almost as much fine dust particles as an internal combustion engine" is very surprising and not at all what I would expect.

Can you cite any sources for that or explain it a bit more?

Aside from particulate matter in exhaust, regenerative braking doesn't produce dust like friction braking does, thus I'd expect electric cars to produce much less dust than ICE vehicles.

It isn’t a simple matter of making a number bigger. The size and cost goes up exponentially. There are potential new particles that can be teased out of 100 TeV. Some important particles aren’t expected to be seen in colliders smaller than a thousand light years.
>Only work for money & anyone who claims otherwise is stupid or lying.

This refutes the topic we are talking about "avoid working alone" which allows a space to defend working with others. You are free to refute working with others all you want, but going straight to "you're stupid and lying" as a refutation is going to put people off.

>I work alone and do amazing things only from books.

I'm sure you do.

>Empathy exists for money or corporate ascendance.

There's more to empathy than money, and going straight to 'empathy is all about making others capitulate' whilst possibly true from some perspectives, is basically the most anti-social stance you could take. Which makes it more uncomfortable in the context of the overall thread and your previous information.

You then take a strong stance against Hackernews, the site you are supposedly posting on and implying most people are here to self promote, or at the least, receive self-promotion posts. Again a very hardline stance against more charitable and warm social stories. It may be true about HN, idk, but saying it nicer or how it could be improved would move how it feels away from a faceslap and towards a legitimate discussion.

You then sing the virtues of being able to make social mistakes on imageboards and the benefits of avoiding social stigma in favour of not having an identity. Another pretty anti-social claim. No skin in the game, just a place to sh*tpost and hide in darkness. Which can be beneficial, but again it's pointing your post in an uncomfortable direction. And giving you a catch-all excuse for being anti-social. It's the fault of posting on HN that social mistakes are punished.

All these things combined with a gut feeling judgement of your character (pretentious username? only interested in work?) leaves me in a place where I can't push back without breaking something. So I'm gonna break normal/polite conversation and just highlight stuff you do.

Yeah americans have an edgelord thing, which seems like an easy label or compression of some ideas into one thing. Idk how to apply it, so I'm staying away from it.

If you can defend all those ideas you like (empathy about money and capitulation, working alone is good, ect) please be my guest, but don't assume we're only here to discuss ideological commitments or debate ideas at the cost of walling & burning off absolutely everything else, like politeness or the thread's second half to the discussion 'the benefits of working socially on it's own merits'. Where do I have an opening to discuss with you the ideas without voicing how uncomfortable what you said is?
I'm sorry, I don't understand which part of my comment you were replying to.

In general I am curious what your war stories are about the insight you got from listening to complaints and how you went about it.
I'd argue that it's not as simple. But there's a relativity factor here.

1) Haskell is much like math. You look at some concepts and ideas and fail to see what it is about, until 20 years down the road you finally click that "maaan" discrete mathematics was already encompassing 90% of computation it just wrapped it in counting instead of concrete computer instructions. Mathematicians have this culture of going too far, too concise, too fast for most of the population.

2) Mainstream culture imposes a negative toll on this because when you're fed Java or PHP (let's say you learned in the 2000s when they were peak fad) you'll interpret Haskell through them, brain already set on a belief, and it will make it twice harder. And it's really hard to disentangle the weird bliss of being able to manipulate elements through an interface (here it would be the syntax its idioms) from "objective reality". I too was enamored by PHP associative array syntax (so fun compared to C or Java lack thereof) and F5 to see a website change before my eyes. Haskell feels like a punishment compared to this. Not even counting the social aspect of it .. wordpress made people have colleagues and money.

Anyway, keep learning haskell (and FP, and logic, and math).
I mostly agree with the article, but not with the HN title (which doesn't match the article's title). The article itself has a nice statement:

> If you’ve already learned another language, you can learn Haskell. And even if you haven’t, learning Haskell is no harder than learning any other programming language.

But most of the programmers are familiar with imperative languages, and can quite easily switch between them (possibly writing non-idiomatic and awkward code, but without having to really learn the language from scratch to do so). While a purely functional language with unfamiliar syntax doesn't let one to do it as easily. So indeed, if you haven't learned other languages, probably it's not harder, and if you have, you still can learn it, but likely it would be harder to learn than other imperative languages if you are already familiar with a few imperative languages.

Do you think there are less people on those buses than there was before the ban?
A friend I know went from software engineering to civil engineering for difficulties in finding work. But I find many more that do the opposite, go from civil to software.

I was first inclined into software before deciding on civil in college after the dot com bubble burst.

I recommend all software inclined engineers do anything but software. Software
Programming is a very powerful tool in most industries but is least required in the software industry.

So I recommend you pick up another skill. And start working on it from a software perspective.
Those are much fewer than cars and without them blocking the road emergency vehicles can move much faster and without a thick layer of parking lining every street, commercial vehicles can have designated spots.
> reCAPTCHA prompts happens a lot, I know its only one click away

This actually isn't true when browsing over Tor. It always makes you do 5 or more rounds of "click the traffic lights", "click the bicycles", etc. I don't know why. It seems to go far beyond checking that you're not a machine, and I suspect they're just abusing Tor users to get free machine-learning training.
No, but if we drove less with cars, the amount of people with fit and healthy legs would increase. Also, there are plenty of other vehicles for those, who can't walk, which are allowed in pedestrian zones. As well as exceptions for people being dropped off, who qualify as handicapped.
Somewhat related, and infuriating, news that this reminded me of:

I agree in general, though bus route in question (The M14) has around 26,000 riders per day on an average weekday, making it one the busiest in the city. It doesn’t lack for people using it — it’s just been really slow until now.

http://web.mta.info/nyct/facts/ridership/ridership_bus.htm
Cars are very dangerous things. They are used to kill an awful lot of people every day without much comment at all.

I've read a lot of articles about agressive or dangerously incompetant drivers in the UK, I have never once seen someone given a lifetime driving ban.

Drivers no mater if they were serving a temporary ban, were uninsured, on drugs, on the pavement (sidewalk) or reading their phones they always get the chance to get their licence back once they've paid a small fine or occationally got out of prison.

That goes for repeat offenders too.

Maybe startups using technology to provide alternatives such as electric bikes, scooters, self-driving cars would have some value to society.

Illegal fish catches are transfered at night when transponders are turned off. So there is now monitoring by satellite, not drones, to identify the culprits. That is cheaper than keeping drones replenished, and its batteries charged, the ocean is huge.
> Reasoning: Cars pollute the air which makes the people living and walking in the city centers sick. Cars pollute with noise. Cars cause pedestrian and bicycle accidents.

So this means that densely populated areas are not welcome for older people, like the ones who can't really walk as much anymore? Interesting way to discriminate.

Is there a way to find how far a model stays valid other than taking it further than it was ever intended to? I personally like to think that physics can be explained by a discrete finite automaton so quantum computers are not possible, but believing this would be more stupid than believing the opposite. Whichever alternative is true, there is a good reason to try to build quantum computer, because the process itself will improve our understanding. And implying that there is some conspiracy to pretend quantum computers are real, is strange to say the least.

I think the HN title used to be correct. Perhaps the mods changed it. I can't imagine why. It's a completely different claim from the article!
I work in Manhattan and live in Brooklyn, and my office overlooks the Holland Tunnel (connection to New Jersey). Roads are a backlogged mess every evening, where "evening" on Friday seems to start at noon. Traffic cops are in a half-dozen intersections around the Holland Tunnel entrance manually restricting flow and more importantly rerouting cars to keep all the possible entrance routes roughly balanced.

The vast majority of this traffic is from Manhattan - otherwise it wouldn't be spread across so many routes. If you want to designate a cars-ok route in Manhattan between the Battery Tunnel (to Brooklyn) and the Holland Tunnel and let that back up, you could do that and it would be less of a mess than the status quo: it would stay on West Side Highway out of the way and it would have less traffic.

One time I took a taxi from Newark to my home in Brooklyn, and the taxi driver dropped me off right after getting out of the Holland Tunnel (next to a subway stop) saying he didn't want to deal with more traffic. There is no effective vehicular link between New Jersey and Brooklyn right now. There is a moderately effective link between each of those and Manhattan, that's it.

Isn't delivery traffic in German pedestrian zones mostly limited to certain hours? I recall seeing trucks in the early morning, but almost never during the day. Not sure if that was due to regulation or because that's when most deliveries naturally happen.
