This is correct. Everyone I've met that insisted that functional programming is superior to imperative has been a big time math/CS nerd, the kind that goes to grad school and was confused when the iPad launched because hey it does nothing that a laptop doesn't already do!

My experience doing functional programming is that hurt my brain, it just doesn't map as cleanly to how I think of things happening compared to imperative programming. It was just really painful to code in, and most of my classmates had the same opinion.

Does OCaml give you enough tools to optimize around things like CPU-cache and memory management costs? It's one thing to know what kind of assembly is going to be produced by a block of code, but it's another thing to be able to get the machine to do exactly what you want.
This article jumps from the CLOUD Act to the extradition of Dimitry Firtash to something about the US financial system to Iran... I see each point but this piece feels more like rambling than a comprehensive examination of any particular issue.

It's very confusing that the article intertwines domestic issues (the CLOUD act) with unrelated foreign policy issues.

I'm sure there are much better articles on this topic somewhere.

We recently remodeled our kitchen and updated appliances. One microwave we looked at had Alexa built-in. I couldn't think of a single scenario where I would interact with my microwave without standing right in front of it.

I could maybe see it's usefulness for certain elderly or disabled people but I couldn't figure out why the majority of the population would ever want that.
It looks comfortable in the Star Trek universe because everyone trusts Starfleet and the ship's computer.

You could get a lot more precise with stepper motors paired with a micro stepping drive. Since a stepper does not necessarily need feedback the software doesn't have to close a loop but spit out position and velocity commands. Integrated stepper chips exist on breakout boards which keeps the design simple as it will handle the complex microstepping current control. The entire design would not increase much in complexity at all and gain a massive amount of precision.
Officially, no, but it's not uncommon for it to misinterpret another word as the wakeword and then capture and send off 30 seconds or more of audio that was never intended for it.

Everyone makes generalizations, it's one of the ways we communicate without needing to get overly academic about everything. I would also note that your tone exudes a high level of bias. If, as TFA states, there are a lot of very poor people in these communities, then that underlies your statement that charity is common among Hasidim.

It is an interesting fact that (disclaimer, generalizations follow) a community that tends to take charity from the government also tends to vote for a candidate like Donald Trump.

I think there is a demographic and/or preference shift occurring.

The small liberal arts college I attended recently had a year where it could only fill 600 out of 700 potential seats. The college filled out all 700 seats the next year, but redoubled their targeting and recruiting and used more waitlist admits than usual.

Used Apex when it first came out (as HTMLDB). I’ve never found anything that compared to its speed in rolling out web based forms for internal use. At the time, it was the best BI tool for ad hoc queries around. Nowadays I use metabase, but I’ve often missed Apex speed and wished PG had it.
What Atul Gawande Got Wrong about U.S. Health Care Spending
OO is merely a style of laying out imperative code for the compiler to put into proper linear order.

End of the day there are instructions emitted in a linear fashion and other instructions running (OS?) can provide an execution context
("Hi process, here's your memory area with pretend addresses do you can think it's all yours, you go over there to Core-2 and run at Z priority.")

OO is not particularly easy to learn WRT FP, but it does have the contextual advantage of having been delivered on the back of FAST compiled languages like C++.

Java runs as fast as the big money thrown into it's VM can make it run. If the JVM were dog-slow, you would see lower adoption of it.

Ocaml as used by corps like Jane Street etc,is not directly for running application code from (or rather, the application in question does code generation.)

High level languages could be expected to adopt either code-generational or Cython-style approaches.
(Chicken Scheme, for example)

C++ merely has the historical accident of bridging 2 generational worlds of computing, hence you can find C++ full-stack.

It's about accountability imho. From CEO's to our elected leaders to law enforcement to celebrities. This is very generalized, but there is a huge lack of people being held accountable for their actions and decisions in this country. It's always someone else. I.E I think here, Jussie Smollett is a good recent example.

The Equifax hack for example is an example of where the CEO failed. Easy fix, and could have been addressed but it was not. Equifax should not exist imho. They are in the business to keep our data private, and they clearly failed. Why do they get to continue to operate as nothing happened? They exposed millions of users private and confidential info, and all we get is credit reporting, and some of us get maybe a few dollars. sigh

There is a whole layer of on-prem care and feeding of kubernetes with which I have no experience (having run workloads on GKE for four years), and it certainly makes sense that there is some specialization of that stuff and separation between the people who implement those things and the people who develop back end apps.

But I balk at the idea that there is a general good to be had from further separating dev and ops. Isn't the whole point of kubernetes to provide useful control abstractions over the complexities involved in deploying components on the back end? You seem to be implying that once an engineer has developed a thing it needs to be tossed over a wall so that a specialist can write the k8s manifests, determine the runtime resource requirements, provision ingress, etc. Maybe that general approach is necessary in the enterprise environments which seem to be Azure's primary target market, I don't know. But I do know that on our much smaller team the back end engineers have become thoroughly comfortable with performing those tasks for their own applications with a little assist here and there from devops. Most of them never have to touch kubectl because deployment to test and production environments is handled by ci/cd pipelines, so really their concerns are focused on writing proper manifests to create the environment their thing needs. I don't think that is too complex a task for someone whose daily job is writing back-end server components.

I think what was being referred to is the technique of defining a program, not as source code files which are then compiled/run in an interpreter, but as an in-memory VM environment (think REPLs). The memory-based environment can then be saved to a file, similar to making a core dump.

This changes the structure of programs from a file/disk based structure, to the potentially richer structure of the programming environment (e.g. graphs of objects). Although it comes with disadvantages like losing the tool inter-operability of files.
To what extent does Warren advocate improving healthcare? She went from "medicarefor all" to "actually medicare is just a framework" in just a month. On her platform page she seems to have abandoned single-payer entirely.

How can you trust a candidate who changes platform from progressive to milquetoast centrist so quickly? How can you trust a candidate who said several months ago that she wants to eliminate billionaires, and yet who continues to get major contributions from at least twenty billionaires?

I find it very hard to believe that Warren is genuinely left-leaning. Based on her behavior, it seems to me much more like she is a centrist candidate wrapping centrist ideas in left rhetoric.

> …nothing has emerged to replace YAML yet…

I think if you have this viewpoint, you have probably defined your problem too narrowly, and may want to revisit some of your requirements.

I took a look at some of the example config files in the GitHub, and what I see are future problems when people deploying applications need to use some kind of templating system to deploy multiple variations of an application (e.g. production / development, or different replicas).

If you show these configuration files and ask a developer to whip up some templates, they are almost certainly going to reach for a text templating system, and down the road you will see broken configs. This creates an additional burden for tech leads who will need to educate their team on how to avoid the various traps when generating YAML files.

I could be deeply mistaken here about the nature of how these config files work, but that is my first impression. What I would be looking for if I were evaluating this software is an alternative configuration format which is more “bulletproof” like JSON or XML, since I know that there is excellent tooling for these formats, and they don’t suffer from the same kinds of traps and other defects as YAML does.
I disagree. Given it takes place hundreds of years into our future, I'd assume speech recognition is just a "solved problem" and not something to worry about. Plus, there's also the Federation -> navy comparison. If speech recognition is mandated in Federation vessels, why would the crew worry about who's listening?

Because, as a business it’s very very hard to have values, if you don’t want to go bankrupt.

Never trust businesses talking about values, or believe they are out there to protect you. Some of them are better than other for sure, but at the core companies don’t have values they stand for - they have hobbies, that they like to use to get more publicity.

This article seems to be starting from a conclusion and then working its way up to an explanation. That's not how science works. There is lots of experimental evidence that on a quantum scale there is inherent randomness.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_fluctuation

Anyone can claim that there are deterministic causal factors leading to what appears to be randomness. What are those factors? I could claim that invisible unicorns are the underlying factor for deciding which slit the photon goes through and this explanation wouldn't be any less supported than the reasoning presented in this article.

> it might come from subtle factors, including, perhaps, the exact initial location of the marble, its angle of motion, or the manner in which the marble bounces off the subtle imperfections of the peg’s surface. These are all deterministic factors with a clear causal chain that decides which way the marble goes. The path selected seems random to us only because of our ignorance of these details.

One thought experiment that comes to mind is, imagine a perfect Galton board where all the pegs are perfectly identical in a closed perfectly isometric system. Without subtle factors like air currents or imperfections in the pegs or the marbles, where does the marble land? I think personally if all other factors are ruled out the thought experiment reduces to the double slit experiment.

Lol you have a great advice over there
Unless you’ve written a modern, optimizing C/C++ compiler, you have absolutely no idea what kind of machine code a complex program is going to spit out. It’s not 1972 anymore, and C code is no longer particularly close to the metal. It hasn’t been for some time.
I’m not convinced we hobbyist physicists have anything to add to this topic. ;)

On average, I'd say that's a safe premise to adopt. But I'd add two things to that:

1. The question "is that the point?" That is, cutting edge cosmological research isn't (AFAIK) generally done on HN. The "real experts" probably aren't coming here looking for new insights, and the rest of us idling around chewing the cud on this isn't really hurting anything.

2. That said, this "cud chewing" may be beneficial to the participants in the conversation, or perhaps - in a "long game" sense - to science at large. If somebody reading all this is inspired to take up physics as a career field, or just learns something that they turn around and use as metaphorical inspiration in some seemingly unrelated field, well... maybe that makes it all worthwhile.

Anyway, at worst this is entertainment, and arguably of a higher quality than watching the latest episode of the sit-com de jour.

No thanks. I like having the option to move to jurisdictions with laws and customs that are more to my liking.
Off the top of my head:

* version control

* environment mismatches (think managing dev, staging, prod with multiple devs)

* deployment management

* discoverability of where things live so you can maintain them, and autocomplete in IDEs

The last is the big one. If a client asks me to change the header, and me going to my IDE and quick searching "header" doesn't automatically show me all header related files/code then your platform has already lost the developer experience battle. Something like this would need tooling to match what is already possible in that regard.
> The IRS could very easily send a pre-filled tax form for most Americans to verify and sign like other countries do. All the relevant information is already reported to the IRS.

One of the current problems is that the information is reported in parallel by those providers. Many small businesses print off their employees' W-2s at the same time they print their own tax returns.

Yes, the IRS knows eventually. They don't know by April 15th under the current set of filing deadlines, though. That's a solvable problem, but not as trivial as you make it sound.
Yes you can reduce and map a large state object into a smaller and simpler object before you pass it down to a child component but the encapsulation is still leaky because the parent component needs to know the implementation details of each action of a child component in order to use them correctly (for example, the parent component needs to know how the different actions of the child relate to each other in terms of how they affect the state); it creates a large contact area between components which creates tight coupling.

The idea of blackboxing/encapsulation is that the parent component should know as little as possible about the implementation of its child components.

So maybe the "long hard look at limited liability" I suggested concludes that limited liability applies only to small players entering the market.

Nobody is confused about why limited liability exists, so I don't think it needs to be brought up every time someone points out the problems with it. It generally comes across as just trying to shut down the conversation, and refuse to admit there are very large downsides to limited liability.

> he campaigned for putting the entire web app into an Oracle database with all the logic in stored procedures.

Oracle have already done this, it's called Application Express[0]. I used it for my last job. In practice it was pretty good for fast prototyping and iterating on database-backed apps. It took the schema as the source of truth and would add useful interface features based on it (eg, dropdown lists derived from foreign keys, converting some check constraints to javascript validation code etc).

But on the downside it was essentially untestable and version control meant dumping a massive file of autogenerated PL/SQL and checking it into git. For anything more complicated than basic CRUD and reporting you'd wind up cracking the hood to directly use PL/SQL and then skin it with APEX. The tradeoff being that you lost some of the roundtrip niceties.

I wouldn't recommend it in general, but it fit ... OK in its context. It was included in the Oracle license, the org had experience with operating Oracle and it allowed each of us in a small programming group to build little apps to solve genuine business problems that were either too small to select OSS/COTS or too specialised to find anything to select.

The best part of the job was getting rid of painful processes built around sharing Excel and Word docs. I remember occasion when a user broke down in tears because a (to me) trivial app meant that a stressful, high-pressure, error-prone month-long process turned into a non-event. One of the best days of my career and I partially owe it to a platform that I think is, in most respects, a mistake.
