I always try to explain these things with evolutionary biology. I look to the non-human animal kingdom to see if the pattern of behavior exists in other species too. This one does.

In many species, members of clans and tribes go off to discover mating opportunities. I believe much of it has to do with limiting inbreeding.

I remember a scene in Game of Thrones where the guy didn't want to be eaten by the dead things, so he said he was going to take his boats to an island, kill all the men, and take their wives. Such things happen often in war. It might be a reason war exists.

In the case of the German daughters, if the males work the land, know the land, defend the land from invaders, then it would make sense the daughters leave to be protected by such men in another land.
What would be some unique uses for this that one perhaps couldn't accomplish with more traditional visualizations, any ideas?
Before, a lot of token offerings could skate under the radar. That day is over, and the SEC is cracking down. Anyone offering anything close to a token would be well served talking to a lawyer experienced in securities law.
I'm more of the opinion that there was a Q2/Q3 deadline to get some sane regulatory framework by the Libra team and they just whiffed on it or it was wholly insufficient for normal international banking standards (which was probably laid out by all the parties that left). The fact that everyone seemed to bail all at once sounds like there was just a lack of commitment/slipped deadline by the Libra side. Generally as a new thing is being stood up under a regulated framework there is some slack provided to get the ship in order while other interested parties look on, but at a certain point major requirements must be done. If you are one of the interested parties and it doesn't look like the other side is making sane progress, the hammer drops swiftly.

Does he consider airmanship lacking in the USAir 427 crash, or in Colgan Air 3407? Both cases pilots pulled back on the yoke the entire time making recovery impossible, exactly contrary to all of their training. He's dismissive of "startle factor" in Air France 447 as well, as in, he doesn't even bring it up or any of the other factors in the final report, he just dings pilots as lacking airmanship.

HN may be optimized for current discusions, but is also a repository of knowledge; I frequently land on years old threads from Google searches. For older times, an explicit ISO timestamp has at least two benefits: 1) I can compare it easily to other dates (e.g. is that comment older or more recent that event X, or software version Y), and 2) time of the day is a half-decent proxy for telling whether the US or Europe was awake then.

And while you can justify the inprecise stamp on HN, there's no excuse for GMail and a score of other messaging software doing the same. When I'm looking at the date of an old e-mail, I almost always need the exact date and time. "2 weeks ago" is useless. "2019-09-27 08:43" tells me it happened before work, on a day after an important meeting, etc.
the way to do is to pass context all the way through, until the other thing you are waiting on uses up no resources.

so in your example it should be done like this:
ch <- workFor(ctx, in)

and the 'workFor' function should be the one that gets canceled with the context.

Deep down at the very end, you would have select statement with '<-ctx.Done()' and something else that doesn't need canceling (if it needs canceling it should have taken context too).

Of course the world isn't perfect and not everything takes context right now (even in standard library), so you do have to do some workarounds every once in a while.

And Microsoft skipped DirectX 4.0:

"after DirectX 3 was released, Microsoft began developing versions 4 and 5 at the same time. Version 4 was to be a shorter-term release with small features, whereas version 5 would be a more substantial release. The lack of interest from game developers in the features stated for DirectX 4 resulted in it being shelved, and the corpus of documents that already distinguished the two new versions resulted in Microsoft choosing to not re-use version 4 to describe features intended for version 5."

It looks like a misstep followed by a hasty and ignominious retreat because thats exactly what happened - no one anticipated the reaction from lawmakers and rules agencies.

Its kind of hard to see this from the perspective of people who follow tech and HN, but Libra really may have been the first occasion that the possibility of crypto as anything other than an investment instrument - e.g. an actual usage as currency - penetrated the awareness of top national political leadership. Yes the ICO's got some attention but in many ways that attention seemed to suggest that crypto would be tolerated. And probably it will be, as long as it is simply another category of asset.

It will not be tolerated as currency, and governments will destroy any crypto that threatens to become one. For now, BTC is safe because its usage as a currency is minuscule and threatens no one. If it were to become successful, it will be destroyed. I've always known that was a possibility but now I'm sure of it.
Yes.

I've submitted many browser bug reports to Google, Microsoft, Apple and Mozilla over many years. I only bother to submit issues for "important" bugs, I write clearly, I simplify, and I spend significant time ensuring that the bug report is useful to developers and relevant for users.

Google respects my efforts, and often fixes my reported issues, or at least explains why it can't be fixed (usually with well reasoned answers, usually the actual developer is communicating with me).

Microsoft/Apple/Mozilla waste my time, ignore my efforts, and generally that results in a poorer user experience in the browser.

The Chrome team is one of the most amazing software teams I have ever been tangentially involved with - and the product quality shines.

I'll openly admit that I am an annoying pessimist, but I don't think the solution is going to come in the form of anything that a book from 1995 could possibly recognize as progress.

To be blunt, what I mean is that a lot of problems we have nowadays come from the mere existence of modern technology, not exclusively from just the way people live. It's a bit hard for me to admit because I used to be an avid technologist (and am currently employed as a computer engineer), but it's gets harder and harder to deny everyday. No one in the world gets to choose what technology is the next logical step, and the decision to pursue its development is ultimately an arms race with the entire world as competitors. It is just not possible for any philosophy, economic system, or culture to change that fact. The good side-effects are inseparable from the bad. If you have nuclear energy, you have atomic bombs and nuclear power plants. If you have fast computer networking, you have on-demand entertainment and surveillance networks. If you can store information forever, you can instantly know someone's worst act and they can remember yours.

SC has an area of 32,000 square miles or 20,480,000 acres. The average annual rainfall is about 4 feet. So that is about 80 million acre-feet of precipitation. Converting from acre feet to gallons gives 26,000,000 million gallons of rainfall annually. Depending on hurricanes, it could be more, much more.
"a fantastic language to slice, clean up, and extract information from text files, and it was already very widely used in bioinformatics" is a description of Perl 5, not Perl 6.

Even if Perl 6 is completed, I don't think it is a practical workhorse for many real world situations.

To me being able to create grammars in Perl 6 to parse text data sounds really compelling. However, every time I have played around with them, Perl 6 has been so slow, that I have reverted to using regular expressions in another language.
>How familiar are you with Perl, and how much have you used it?

It's no one thing, but a bunch of little things that compound on top of each other. Until you get something like this:

while (<>) { ($h{$_}++ == 1) && push (@outputarray, $_); };

Mostly though it's how it's used. It can technically do anything, so a lot of the times it is asked to do everything. Until one day you wake up to find you have hundreds of perl files, all tens of thousands of lines long, that all interconnect in an insane Object Oriented hierarchy soup stretching across every conceivable programming space - from database control to money processing to security to web site design.

I can't imagine scripting in Erlang. Or rather, I've seen it done and it wouldn't be my first choice.

Elixir, on the other hand, has many nice features for scripting, such as better string handling, process pipe-lining, and an excellent set of first-class generic data structures (beyond just map and list). It also happens to have Erlang's fantastic concurrency model.
Call me old-fashioned, but I would rather have a government manage my money. Buying groceries with Facebook scrip isn’t my idea of a good time.

ElasticCo's offering is no better, and has its own shortcomings. The biggest shortcoming is its actually not multi-az. We were down 3 times in 2018, and unfortunately had to switch to AWS ESS. Majority of their outages were also faults of their load balancer.

Assuming existing experience with JS / npm / async style. If you don't have that, I'm not sure which would be harder to start with. Given a little bit of experience with each, I'd actually lean towards elixir being a simple choice. Then again it depends on whether you're cool with training new devs in case of lack of elixir people.

This reminds me how for awhile I was emailing myself .tar and .exe files through Gmail or school email systems by renaming them to .jpeg files.

Kudos for making this change! This is what the folks at Microsoft should have done when ASP became ASP.NET and ASP.NET became ASP.NET Core. I know... keeping the root of the name the same makes management think the technology is fundamentally the same (and, therefore, cheaper) but the SEO confusion trying to find the right version of an answer is a PITA.

Secondarily, while Perl has never appealed to me I am more likely to admit I'm checking out Raku because the chances that someone will ask me to look at and debug their cousin's friend's manager's Perl 3 CGI app is considerably reduced.

Not parent commenter, but you are competing. You might not compete for the nicest car, but you are competing for housing, healthcare and education. Houses aren't expensive because they are built with gold, but because everyone needs one.
>fixed supply

Aka artificial scarcity. Wealthy landowners prevent housing of adequate density being built. Public transport is hard to fund due to the expense driven by negotiating with landholders.

Landowners are creating artificial scarcity; the thing that is not scarce is land; it is habitable spaces proximate to quality employment opportunities.

It's important that you have a system to capture things quickly and get them out of your head, so that they don't clog your thought process. The problem? The data is either unstructured or you first need to spend time thinking where exactly to put it so you will find it later.

I found the best way to do this is to keep a daily note or journal where you can first dump all your thoughts, ideas, tasks, etc. quickly without thinking about where to put it. The other game changer was using nested tags. Adding tags is easy, because it doesn't break your workflow, you just keep writing. Example: "- Review landing page copy @followup/James".

NotePlan just introduced new features to help you do exactly that: Nested Tags and a Global Search across all your notes (calendar, non-calendar, tasks, etc.). Nested Tags allow you to create a reference to any thoughts, tasks, notes etc. right away. Additionally you can capture new things in a daily note, so you don't even have to ask yourself where exactly to write them down.

What is NotePlan?

Every day is full of appointments, tasks, and meetings. Managing it all is hard, but it doesn’t have to be. With NotePlan for the Mac and iOS, you can manage your calendar, to-dos, and notes in one place so you can concentrate on getting your work done instead.

I am pretty sure Russians aren't the only ones smart enough to have taken advantage of this opportunity. I think it could be interesting to write an article about the global state of troll farms, to compare their tactics, I assume Chinese trolls are very real and operate in a different way for example. Bot farms working directly for a government are also distinct than those offering services to random companies.

> ... apart from the !$double .@sigils

In this case, `!$double` isn't a sigil. `!` is just the old prefix operator for negating a value [1]. If you meant to write `$!double`, then it's the twigil [2] for class attributes [3]. Twigils could be considered as secondary sigils but they affect the scoping of a variable. In this instance, `!` is for class attributes and will only be found there.

As for `.@sigils`, I've never seen this syntax. I'm probably out of the loop in this one.

As an aside, sigils are one of Raku's interesting features. They convey information [4] that might not be easy to discern from just looking at the code. What kind of structure is this variable holding? Is it holding an array? A hash? A code object? What's the scope of this variable? Is it class-scoped? Is it dynamically-scoped? Is it a compile-time variable?

> ... Raku is quite slow.

This is a legitimate reason for avoiding the language. However, it's worth pointing out that Raku core developers have made great improvements to the language in the speed department since it was first officially released in 2015. They recognize there's a lot of room for improvement. [5]
