But the space next to a transit center is more valuable, so why would there be parking there and not apartments?

In practice the answer seems to be either (a) be subsidized and fill up early, as with BART today, or (b) be priced at market rate, so with BART people would have to pay $18/day for parking.
I think you are focusing on the specifics of that complaint and not the general reasoning behind it. It is a problem if cryptocurrencies need a mature financial system built around them to be usable when one of the primary selling points that people were hyping about cryptocurrencies was the ability to circumvent the current financial system.

There were no copyright notices, and this is a work made before the US adopted the BERN convention. Prior copyright law required copyright notices.

dir appears to be copied into from tbuf at some point. It puts dir-1 into memory location 8 at the start, and then the code around the 2: section I'm pretty sure is a memcpy-ish loop like:

c1 = -8;
*9 = tbuf - 1;
do {
*(++(*8)) = *(++(*9));
} while(++c1 != 0);
goto 1b; // b for backwards?

It seems that memory locations 8-15 are auto-indexing[0], so the lac/dac i increments the pointed-at location before use, and isz is "increment and skip next instruction if zero".

You are acting exactly opposite to that. If you want people to think about polarization and its triggers you should try to do that in a way that does not polarize all by itself but by engaging them in constructive discussion.

> But people and genetic testing companies seem to want to keep it going.

You can still get alot of mileage out of a simplified, inaccurate model. If you just say to yourself, "well, this whole gene thing is hopelessly complex", then you'll never get anywhere outside of a lab or personal project. Applied biology especially, and medicine in particular, seems to require grossly simplifying assumptions in order to make any problem tractable.

I would think that would be understood by people on HN. One of the biggest impediments to smart people starting companies is an inability to set aside the inherent, irreducible complexity that they, alone, see and appreciate. The people who succeed in business tend to be those ignorant of the complexity[1], or those able to come to terms with the reality that any practical, marketable solution is necessarily built on an inaccurate model of the world and is doomed to eventually crumble for its inherent flaws.

The old adage that ignorance is bliss is more insightful and meaningful than people give it credit for. Knowledge, especially epistemic knowledge, can be debilitating.

[1] Which doesn't imply being stupid or incurious. Willful ignorance seems like a potentially useful strategy.

They’re not inventing that from thin air. I can understand Haskell with a great deal of effort, but it certainly requires a great deal of effort.

My wife is a non-programmer. She knows nothing about code. I could explain what the go code I write does in a few minutes and she could follow it with a minimum of hand waving. I don’t think I could explain any non trivial Haskell code in hours to even professional programmers

I worked for a much smaller place with far less resources than Amazon (which is what Zappos is) and our PCI compliance as a payments processor was rock solid. Our systems were under attack all the time from all corners of the globe and we never suffered a breach.

LeBron is not the NBA, though. If he wants to not tarnish his personal brand in China (at the price of tarnishing it here in the USA), that's his choice. Don't blame the whole NBA for it.

I did the 17 hour Sydney to Houston (and 17 hours back again) flight on a United 787 last year. I normally hate long haul flights, being 6 foot and all, as well as routinely suffering from bad neck and back problems from long periods of sitting. But I actually managed to enjoy both flights.

On the trip over, I scored a seat near the galley exit. Meaning no seats in front of me where the overwing exit door was. I could stretch my legs right out, and every hour or so, I could just unbuckle my seatbelt and stand up and do a series of stretches and sit back down again without bothering any other passengers or crew.

On the way back, the plane was nearly empty, so United allocated a full row of 3 seats to everyone in economy. Being able to lie flat was a massive bonus and I slept most of the 17 hours lying down and didn't feel it.

The 787 itself is a big factor in my comfort. The strength of the carbon fibre fuselage means that the cabin altitude is set to 5000 feet instead of the normal 8000 feet in other aircraft, and the air is recirculated more often I believe, which leads to less fatigue and high altitude problems.

The aircraft also cruises higher than most other earlier era jets, so we were usually well above most weather patterns for a very smooth ride. The new cabin lighting also helped to set the mood for sleep and awake cycles while on board. Kudos to Boeing engineers for the design work that went into this.

Their settlement ended up costing as much as a few good engineers for a year. Consequences like that will mean it makes financial sense to ignore security and just pay the settlements as they come.

Consequences should motivate companies to be secure. i.e. it should be much cheaper to hire a large competent security team who has a chunk of engineer time than it is to pay tiny settlements to teams of lawyers.

Data breaches aren't just necessary evils, they can be prevented, but not without a lot of extra work. Companies should consider a data breach to be an existential threat, not a cost of business.
Your last sentence is confusing. I think the accusation is that they killed 7000 persons during 2018 (and part of 2019) [1], not that they killed all of them in September 2019.

Really, I don't think mentioning Popper is a facile response ;) One should actually be familiar with the source material to criticize it.

You spout relentless apologia for Chinese government actions; for instance, you were arguing with me in the other thread about whether the pressure focused on the NBA/Rockets was Chinese government action. Silver has now confirmed that it was.

As another poster said, factorial calculations are hardly the dynamic languages' forte.

The measured workflows in terms of web frameworks include a lot of other elements and none of them are CPU-operations-per-watt (namely pure muscle).

Erlang's (and thus Elixir's) runtime shines particularly well in web apps' typical workflow, not on tasks where C++ likely is still king.

/s

But there is so many issues with the government taking on _more_ responsibility in our lives (like they usually do things worse). Not to mention in US, we are guaranteed right to lawyer in defense, for equality, and those lawyers make way less than private lawyers, so presumable there is a difference in quality (or something else?). Additionally, its common to see legal fees part of law suits like this zappos suit), so lawyers can work for poor people because they get paid when they win a suit, which is their job anyways.

> You rewrote it. The language you rewrote it in probably has less to do with it than rebuilding all at once what initially was built over time/organically.

That's a very unfair blanket statement.

There are no ways to reduce the inherent flaws of mutable imperative languages no matter how much times you might rewrite the apps in the same language. You definitely can reduce bug surface but not by much; shared data is much more prone to bugs and human mistakes than a system with a runtime that puts immutable data and message-passing front and center.

I'll give you that rewrites do improve state of any random app. But I think you are overestimating this factor with your pretty broad and somewhat dismissive statement.
People know how polarization is an issue, it's not like the public here is uneducated about this.

The issue is that despite that, it still happens all the time. It happens when somehow people feel that something is personal.

This was a try at making the knowledge come from inside out, not outside in. Maybe feeling the emotions involved in polarization and realizing it was a silly joke is what is needed.

It's especially bad on large cruise ships where the average age of the clientele is probably 90 years old.
Much of Microsoft Office for Windows dates to an awkward period when it was apparent that ASCII isn't enough, but UTF-8 isn't yet the obvious winner.

In particular there's a period where you get "strings" that aren't actually text as we'd understand it but instead a sequence of glyph numbers for a typeface. So instead of ASCII's "A" or Unicode's U+0041 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A you're just encoding that you want whatever the typeface named "Typewriter Sans" has put in slot number 65. Maybe it's a capital A and maybe it isn't.

This works pretty well on one Windows PC, or even a LAN full of identically configured Windows PCs. You can see why it was at least superficially attractive to Windows application programmers. Got a niche that needs Bulgarian ? No problem, the software doesn't care what the glyphs "mean", just define how to type the codes in and you're done.

But then somebody tries to open the Excel file with the Bulgarian text in "Steve's Bulgarian" font on a Mac and it doesn't work, it's gibberish. Oh dear. You have to install "Steve's Bulgarian" on the Mac and it look better although it isn't quite exactly right.

Today this is obviously completely insane, but by then the problem is backwards compatibility.

A guy who advocates blockchain solutions yet dismisses cryptocurrency surely misunderstands both.

Also whatever main "fallacy" (to use author's word) is at work in both of these is ultimately rooted in confused and ambiguous notions of decentralization.

It's really not the tech that's the problem, it's the assumptions and premises it is derived from, which is why every year blockchain tech spirals into greater and more layered complications in the hopeless pursuit of resolving this impossible conflict; very much a modern day geocentrism-epicycles disciplinary failure mode.

I don't get such comparisons. The voyager had a single purpose - to travel through space. It was purpose built for that and that alone. Things were simple.

Things have improved. Let's compare that.

Yeah, this happened to me when I did the 16-hour DWF-SYD route. I was on Qantas and ended up with a row of four or five seats to myself both ways. I also managed to time my sleep so that I slept for the middle 8 hours of the flight, which broke it into two separate four-hour flights.

But, I don't know, I feel like handling long flights is a skill you can develop (as is adjusting to jet lag quickly). I used to fly economy NY to Europe on a weekly basis for work and after doing that a bunch I just don't really get fazed by long flights. I did a Chicago to HK leg in economy without the benefit of getting a whole row and didn't really mind the 12 hours at all.

> Why can't FP's benefits be obvious so that it doesn't require evangelists?

Because there aren't immediate benefits. They only pop out at scale and with complexity, as I said.

> similar real world massive productivity improvement to Imperative Programming

Because there isn't. It's a reasonable benefit, but it's not transformative. I think it's there, enough to commit to FP completely, but the massive productivity improvement doesn't exist, or at least, only exists in specific cases, e.g. the WhatsApp + Erlang + 50 engineers parable (you could argue that this is due to the actor model and BEAM, rather than FP. An argument for a different day).

I feel like this hard + reasonable benefit isn't really efficient utilisation of people's time, especially when there's things like Deep Learning floating around. I think the immediate reaction to a lot of what FP evangelists claim is a shrug and a "I guess, but why bother?"
A few terminals support special escape sequences for "shell integration", which allows nicer display and features for shells and other REPLs. In addition to the actual proposed specification (in the main article link), I've written an article with screenshots (http://per.bothner.com/blog/2019/shell-integration-proposal/) to show what functionality this proposal enables, based on the current DomTerm implementation (https://domterm.org). I welcome feedback both on the proposed specification, the DomTerm implementation, the feature set, and the blog article.
In countries like that I would expect the result to:

1) not involve a civil suit whatsoever - instead of filing a class action claim resulting in a settlement or penalty assigned by a court, the people would complain to the relevant regulator, who'd investigate, impose fines and mandate changes in company processes.

2) in a scenario like this - where none of the complaintants assert any specific direct loss but simply generic increased future risk - there would be no payments to the affected individuals at all, any fines would go to the government; the main goal will be to enforce future compliance with the rules, and punish past incompliance with fines to deter other violators. Individuals can demand and get compensation that will cover specific actual damages that can be demonstrated, but no more, and nothing unless/until any consequences materialize. The "You wronged me, I'll sue you for $$$$ despite not being actually $$$$ out of pocket right now" style of civil claims (that seems to be common in USA, at least in mass media) is rare, and when it happens, it's usually unsuccessful.
as someone who made my first SPA, using Elm & met the presenter once in NY. functional programming is elegant and nice. but practicality is another different matter. for it, to be the norm, it has to have 10x advantages over the status quo. on the frontend, part JS already offers some features of functional programming, with some imperative parts.
