Haskell syntax is great except for the indentation/layout rules. There is no simple definition of the grammar with regards to the layout. It's only specified as a headache-inducting operation of a state machine [1], and the implementation is quite hard to read. This is fine for writing Haskell, but quite painful if you want to parse it.

Touche. Definitely experience will vary. In my circle of friends, we were using angelcare monitors about 10 years ago, which to be fair are more about sensing movement than trying to directly detect sleep apnea. Nobody liked them, everyone stopped after a while and decided the very small risk of SIDS wasn't worth the suffering involved in trying to detect it.

That said, one of my friends did have a son pass away (on his first birthday, no less, which is pretty late for SIDS IIRC) during the night for unexplained reasons, so I can't really blame parents for being paranoid. You have to find what works for you, and for everyone that's going to be different.
I'm using autoenv - https://github.com/inishchith/autoenv.

The workaround that I've found for this problem is to set "AUTOENV_ENV_FILENAME=.env.user" and then inside the project folder, I'm now using ".env.user" instead of just ".env".

I'll use this hack until Docker guys fix Docker Compose.
Similarly GCP registry if you are on GCP.

I have used them. It isn't that much of a hardship if you are already cloud native.

Companies with legacy or hybrid infrastructure may need to jump through additional hoops.
Keeping different perspectives and roles in mind is important here.

I think the quotes in the article make very good points.

I've introduced Kubernetes at multiple companies , usually with good results.

But Kubernetes is a relatively low level runtime. It requires a lot of knowledge if you want to use it correctly, even with hosted Kubernetes offerings.

Application developers want to specify how the application works without having to learn a whole lot about Kubernetes internals. They also want the freedom to run something on different platforms without a lot of changes.

Think Elastic Beanstalk or Google App Engine, but provider independent. With the freedom to run it locally , maybe on a cheap self hosted cluster for dev deployments and on AWS for production. This is a lot of work right now, even with the hosted Kubernetes offerings.

Also enterprises often want to offload the decision making and rely both on common standard solutions and outside support if things happen. This is hard with k8s due to the flexibility of the platform.

I agree that it is too low level and too complex to provide a good company wide foundation on its own.

OAM could be a very valuable tool to have.

Also the points about Dapr resonant e. Building a complex event driven architecture with many services is what a lot of enterprises want , but it is really hard to do it well. There is a similar effort by IBM , but I don't remember the name right now.
Maybe give Firefox 70 a try when it comes out next week? They've redone animation rendering on macOS to do it the same way Safari does, which should increase performance and reduce battery consumption.
I did a similar analysis with a nearly-identical model but without the assumption of a constant stream of people coming from the left. In my analysis, the best model depends heavily on the assumptions: http://blog.maxshinnpotential.com/2019/03/02/are-buffets-eff...
This is what I use with the specific nit that I actually only use it for "work stuff" and usually have a `~/personal/` for my own pet projects and a `~/scripts/` for anything that I want on my path.

> Sounds like you've barely programmed in Haskell and don't know what you're talking about.

You're right. I do not subject myself to Haskell because I can't fathom a world where JavaScript is less efficient than Haskell.
Same for Creative Cloud:

> if you have 5 months of your contract left when you cancel and you pay $20/month, you have to pay 50% of the $100 remaining balance = $50 early termination fee.

I wish they offered the three software people use most to open design files (Ps, Ai, Id) for like $9.99/mo. I'd totally keep it even if I use the software like once a month. Instead I have to either pirate it and run it in a VM or abuse the trial system. There's no way I'm paying $52/mo to export the occasional logo from .ai to .svg
Ah. Whatever. The common meaning of "non-permissive" is "copyleft", not "has patent clauses the OpenBSD project has weird concerns about".

Yeah! Sounds like it fits in well with their approach:

The initial implementation focuses on process, memory, and storage monitors communicating via a customised RDMA-based network stack.

Also offers low latency which would be key for a distributed system like this. I've made use of a lot of older-gen Infiniband gear off eBay (was cheaper than 10GigE, more performant) and love it.
Unfortunately, I think the import by URL, by itself is a bad idea. You ideally want reproducible builds, and npm provides a form of that with its enforcement of semver and hash checks in the lock files.

If you are really pedantic, you should probably also check in node_modules with every release you care about.

Having said that, having a system that can source modules from a URL and then enforce hashing and versioning could be a win. I'd just hate to see a repeat of the early golang build system that led to the rise of gb.
A lot of people are saying that the fear comes from lobbyists and the interest groups they represent giving money to opponents. That is partially true, but money is just part of the overall influence that the interest groups lobbyists represent wield.

In the case of ReadyReturn, one of the key players is Grover Norquist, an anti-tax activist. (see https://priceonomics.com/the-stanford-professor-who-fought-t... for some of the older history here) He has this incredible network of anti-tax groups, media figures, and others that can be activated to attack and take down politicians, particularly republicans, without spending a dime (altough they also have money to spend).

It might seem wrong, but it is fundamentally the same mechanism by which liberal action networks (like human rights campaign or NARAL) drive their political influence as well.

It is these networks of influence that politicians really fear, because they are so much more effective then money.
That's utter rubbish. My team has been working with Clojure for close to a decade now. We regularly hire coop students from university, and none of them have ever had problems learning functional programming. It typically takes around a couple of weeks for a student to become productive and start writing useful code. The only people I've ever met who say that FP doesn't map to the way our brains work are people who're deeply invested in imperative style and never tried anything else.

The reasons for the imperative style being dominant are largely historical. Back in the day we had single core machines with limited memory and very slow drives. Imperative style and mutability makes a lot of sense in this scenario. Today, the problem of squeezing out every last bit of performance from a single core is not the most interesting one. And we're naturally seeing more and more FP used in the wild because it's a better fit for modern problems.
Fair point! I'm sure there will be some run off successes among the current crop as well, but so far, my sensibilities tell me that there has been a drop in quality—and in general the appetite for risk taking within the YC has gone down substantially.

Without the data of course it is hard to tell with 100% confidence.

I mean we can fix it. Allow high density, tall buildings in urban centers, discourage centralized working environments and encourage satellite offices throughout the state, remove fees/expedite permit applications for new construction contingent on low/middle income rents, and get people out of fire areas.
Agreed. $150K is basically enough for you to move to the Bay Area (or pay rent) for 3 months + salaries + expenses, possibly hire some folks, while you're going through the program. The way I read it, it's bridge financing until Demo Day.
Hi!

Do you guys have a trademark for the name Gradient? I am developing a C#/.NET binding to TensorFlow with the same name: https://losttech.software/gradient.html

If you do, do you mind that clash of names?

Secondly, would you be interested to invest in providing .NET-powered notebooks? I just got it working on Azure Notebooks for F# ( http://ml.blogs.losttech.software/What-New-In-Preview-6.4/
), but I feel like there would be more interest from C# developers. There is a good C# Jupyter kernel out there.
I also do computer vision and search in the areas targeted by Algolia and Rekognition and have not found this to be true at all. For face detection for example, Rekognition was completely unusable for my company.
A primary revenue stream? For a public company, which has to publish its financials yet somehow keep this hidden? This sounds far fetched, to be honest.
And today HBO announced a deal to stream all of the Ghibli movies. I guess they finally got the deal they needed.
On the off chance you're not trolling (assume best intent and all that). The answer is trivial:

The problems start because 99% people aren't educated on the true value of their kidney.

They are not in an adequate position to judge the value of an essential organ and the ramifications for missing it for the rest of their life. Because they are not doctors and not experts.

It's immoral, because in this exchange exists information asymmetry, where the kidney seller is not informed enough.
Now I really want to know what question 6 was and an equally informative explanation what made it so hard!
I will guarantee you that an expert C# developer could write the same system in same or less amount of time than Elixir with Blazor or even SignalR. C# ecosystem is so big and robust at this time that almost all big problems have already been solved.
RSS and Notion have made me much more positive about this problem recently.

I’ve found a nice RSS reader I like on my phone and use it to follow HN, blogs, newspaper, podcasts etc. There is only one opening/start in the pipeline. I don’t really read twitter anymore.

I open a reading list on my phone’s browser and use open tabs as a todo. I lose interest in some too but I don’t worry about that any more.

If I hear something interesting in a podcast I note it down in a collection in Notion while I listen.

After reading a book, paper or long article I copy my highlights into notion and summarise them over the course of a few weeks on my commute.

I also keep a notion table of unread books and use that to plan what I read on my ebook reader next.

I also gather information relevant to work in there. Links to docs or notes for my next 1:1.

With many of the notes I never return but I find the writing, summarising and organising helps me remember what I’ve read.

I think I take notes to remember things but i’m not really sure anymore.
Prop-13 limits the amount of building cities want to approve because the rate of taxation can't keep up with the revenue required to handle all the infrastructure costs associated with more buildings. I build an apartment building my tax rate increase is limited to 2%, but if new infrastructure required grows at greater than 2% due than that screws the city budget even more.
Biometrics would be the something you are. A passphrase/pin would be the something you know. A fob/token would be the something you have.

I did this once with Chase and didn't get anywhere. Had a CFPB case opened and they refused to budge.

I had called multiple times and was told that their QuickPay was irreversible and that it was fine to use it for commercial transactions. I accepted it for a transaction, the transaction got reversed and money taken out of my account and I was charged overdraft fees. Submitting the audio recording did not make a difference.
Some control over this stuff would be nice.
This doesn't work. At least not with 1.24.1.
We're talking about fixing the underlaying images to a fixed point, not about baking in secrets into the image.

And there are plenty of uses for using proprietary images. For example, I have done workflows where the properitary code is layered on top of open-source code. (Although if I were to redo those CI/CD pipelines again, I would use the de-facto buildpack standard instead; even then, the buildpack slug itself would be properitary and requires an artifact store of some kind).

Either way, using GCP or AWS registry that integrates with their IAM systems works well. The newer versions of docker contains a plugin system, so both GCP and AWS command line tooling can hook in their own authentication mechanisms in there.

> While this is true and it's difficult to open a new hospital in the US, it strikes me as unlikely that this could be blamed for the high cost of care. In fact, US hospitals have been merging and this seems to be a trend that is continuing to this day.[0]

You're citing this as a case against supply restriction...but I think it makes the opposite point. Hospitals are consolidating because it increases their pricing power. However, that only works because it's so hard to create new hospitals. If it were easier for new entrants to enter the market, consolidation amongst existing providers wouldn't have the power that it seems to.

> I entirely agree that hospitals are part of the problem, but I think that casting this as a supply and demand issue is oversimplifying the issue. People who need health care very often cannot choose to "shop around" for their provider, the increase in mergers make it less likely there are any competitors in their area. Agreements between hospitals and insurance companies often place other health care providers "outside network", thus artificially increasing their costs. In the same way consumers do not choose their hospital, they also frequently cannot choose their insurance provider; often the health insurance comes along with their employment.

Ya, this is certainly a problem as well. I suppose I would consider it to be within the umbrella of "supply and demand" though.

The dirty secret of 5G is that they have to run fiber to every street corner anyway just to backhaul the very-short-range base stations.

For a marginal additional cost, you can run it down the street to every house, and consumers aren't forced into a artificial-scarcity "purchase by the gigabyte" scheme run by wireless carriers.

How to Build Products with Real-Time Payments
I think it’s ok to bring up anecdotes as long as you don’t outright say they’re causal.
The problem is the "services" the state is providing are economically unprofitable. Proposition 13 was passed to force the state to have controlled expenditures by not allowing the majority to extort the minority by using their property as extortion through property taxes.

The causes are actually bad laws which are put into place by an increasing majority of people living in want trying to force the "State" into providing it services they cannot pay for themselves.

The "state" can't afford to pay for their services either, and the net effect is to try and coerce people into a redistribution of money from people that have money to those that don't have as much to cover these expenditures.

Because the mechanism used (income taxes) to coerce people to do this now isn't efficient enough now to meet their ever increasing demands, and the voters force the government (who created the problem) to fund these "services" without really thinking about how they will fund their expenditures - making it the governments problem to figure out - which it can't without using coercion.

This thereby allows them to continue uncontrolled expenditure in an ever increasing downward spiral to catastrophe as in effect they are spending 'other peoples money' in the hopes that "eventually these invoices will be paid" through some sort of government sponsored coercion mechanism forcing socialized redistribution by holding peoples and companies properties or income hostage or some other such method with the same result.

Its really quite simple and clever and funny that it still works.
You can, but more residents consume more services, which is a net cost in the long run if property taxes are locked in. As a result, cities in California prefer commercial development that generates sales and income taxes without the need to accommodate more residents. It's a vicious cycle of misaligned incentives.
Works in SF too
It's at least fairly on the side of "only trying to avoid class actions" by having:

- "arbitrator provided by the American Arbitration Association"

- "[individuals] may elect to pursue their claims in their local small-claims court rather than through arbitration"

- arbitration care heard in your local county

- they pay for the arbitration fees

It's the same as online game store companies having binding arbitration, there are some cases where class actions would be detrimental to a company due to no fault of the company themselves.
Having used FP for the past decades in many different domains that's huge news to me.

> raising taxes - has the side effect of encouraging those with mobility (citizens and businesses) to relocate elsewhere.

This kind of argument always seems a little... short-sighted, to me. Sure, raising taxes has a chilling effect, but spending that money in the right-enough ways has an attractive effect.

AFAIK, LA wants to / has raised taxes in order to put in far more parks (addressing "green deserts") and to address food deserts. This makes more neighborhoods more desirable, which then has an overall attractive effect.

Looking at one part of a system and saying "well, this is bad because it doesn't achieve terminal values", well, look at the _entire_ system, and _then_ measure achievement of those values.
Yeah, I like Kubernetes. But I’ll admit it’s not exactly the most inviting thing to get into. It’s cool once you get the hang of it.

But the attitude runs all the way through docker products: arbitrary decisions made for their benefit with no thought to the externalities.
I had a similar experience with a different language at a startup where one programmer particularly would produce the most horrid code, use new features and libraries where they weren't needed, generally overcomplicate everything. He was smart as hell and made that smartness a liability for everyone else. The bottom line in a business is the bottom line; making money. He didn't understand that at all. No level of abstraction was too high, even trivial stuff. Dumb code that did the job well... dream on.
