The thing is, you'll always be learning when programming ;) And if art & design inspires and propels you, I would encourage you to keep making art & design through programing all your life.

It will keep the art of coding fresh for you and help to prevent burnout, and in a possible best case make for a career as a creative coder.
I think what he is saying is since there is a network delay of 300ms for every request, it's better for him to make a single request for a large file than to have to make 10 requests for 200k files and wait 300ms * 10.
The tax will effect more than Google like Facebook and Amazon. The 850M number accounts for the tax revenues from all companies.
Can personally confirm.

A while ago my car died, so I suddenly needed transport right now. I was considering renting a car, but my family loaned me an extra vehicle they had on hand that they keep around for just these emergencies.
EDIT: No, there is absolutely no public transport out here. People who can't drive for whatever reason have a very hard time of it.

I would have made a much worse decision if I had to pay for every day I took to make it. Given the luxury of time, I made a much better buying decision for the new-to-me vehicle.

One of the many ways it's expensive to be poor.
Yea. Made that mistake before. Got vermouth with a slice of lemon
Thank you! :-) Really great answer, I shall check those out. Yup, Upgrade was awesome.
I'll post this again "If you are interested in learning functional programming do not learn about monads".

There is no practical justifiable reason to learn about monads unless you already know Haskell. And there is no reason to learn Haskell unless you already know another statically typed functional language.

If you are interested in learning functional programming then either

Learn dynamically typed functional programming and pick Clojure (or Racket).

Or learn statically typed functional programming and learn Elm then F# (or OCaml).

Haskell is the worst language you could choose to learn FP. If you're trying to lean FP, stay away from it. If you're a huge FP advocate don't push it. And finally monads tutorials are the white noise at the end of a wrong way track in learning about functional programming.

Outside of Haskell, monads are about as important in terms of learning, knowing and effectively using functional programming languages and concepts, as braces being on the same line or next line is important to learning about general programming. It's not.

Does that mean no-one can ever mention a monads, no of course not. But it's such a tiny topic, that it's absurd it gets so much discussion like it's some key to learning fp or some incredibly crucial concept. It's not.
Yep, this is incoming for bulk hard drives in France too... (most of the other storage forms have been taxed for years).

I'm currently underused as an office grunt and am tired of sharing a desk with a coworker. I want something stimulating, something interesting, something that might actually matter, something where I'm not picking someone else's hair and food out of the keyboard so I can get my spacebar to work.

Only four of the data centers that make up us-east-1 are in Ashburn, most are in the surrounding area (Sterling, South Riding, Chantilly, Manassas).

Good news then, we use competing systems to determine a solution in several facets of society (e.g. politics at every level, almost everything related to countries, governance in the public and private sectors). The minute someone comes up with a better system with less "holes" it will be quite the human revolution.
Yes, this was a great book - Jeff writes fiction these days, but has updated his "Assembly Language Step by Step" for Linux and has a nice FOSS book on FreePascal

The parent poster was talking about VAT, which has nothing to do with profits or where the profits are shown.
Professional labor can have a positive feedback loop, like engineering, law, medicine, even bureaucrats. you can get more efficient with more experience and usually can make more money. Less risky then capital investment. Also small business is a mix of labor and capital.
Thats exactly what the facebook newsfeed is. A streaming feed of content, posted by publishers and users alike, and through likes, shares, and comments its popularity rises and it floats its way up the algorithm. Then when it gains reach, lots of people comment on it.
But add significant amounts of litter.

At least in North America, people will just toss their trash on the ground if there isn't a garbage can available, but if there is a bin around they will make use of it. Might be able to chalk that up to cultural differences when discussing Japan, however.
It's pretty close to how both Moggi and Wadler formulated it in their respective seminal papers which introduced monads for representing different notions of computations in functional languages.

We use it at work since Proxmox 3.

The only thing I miss is a truly compatible Terraform module that lets you create accounts, machines and infrastructure. That would be cool
If every requests adds this fixed latency, it would be much better to try and parallelize the requests vs bundling everything.
The cost / time savings isn't what's the important factor in determining whether the service is sustainable, once you are in the competitive territory. It's how many people will take the service. Even if you assume that you'll double the ridership from my numbers above, that doesn't fill a train reliably.

SEA-YVR is even worse. There are 1350 passengers per day one way air between those cities. Even if you think that there's hidden demand traveling by car that you could convert, the volume just isn't there.
"corporate hellscape aspect" - that's exactly what I mean.
At least with the Western media, a person has the choice as to whether he/she wants to view the content.
The customer pays the VAT. Google collects it and returns it to the government.
If you're new to functional programming, you don't need to worry about the category theory definition. Especially since this tutorial simply mentions it as a way to say, "this is too complicated for us, so we're going to explain it another way," and makes no attempt to break down the definition as code. In fact, be careful that you're not seeing category theory definition and misunderstanding it to confirm a mistaken intuition.

The category-theoretic definition basically states that a monad is an endofunctor T equipped with two operations, return :: a -> T a and join :: T (T a) -> T a. T being a endofunctor just means that it is "mappable," AKA it has a function fmap :: (a -> b) -> T a -> T b that "lifts" functions into the type.

Monads capture the idea of flattening. If fmap changes the "contents" while preserving the "shape," join collapses nested layers to change the "shape."

Instead of join, the Haskell typeclasses (and this article) uses another function called bind, or >>=. You can derive join from >>=, and you can derive >>= from join and fmap. For lists, a more familiar name for >>= might be flatmap.
For criminal defense, you want attorneys who used to work in the prosecutor's office. Top of the list is probably a partner, who used to be a DA in the same county they primarily practice in now, with 20+ years of total experience. But you're looking at mid-to-high 3 figures per hour.

Really it boils down to experience, and how likely that person is to have a relationship with the prosecutors, judges, and clerks where you have a problem.
Well of course, but arguably there's not much space between "monads-as-containers/burritos" and "monoids-in-the-category-of-endofunctors" presentations...

If you know a better one in between I'm all ears :)

Every other technology ever.
I think it’s more like they’re trying to catch up with the internet. Kind of like in the US states are finally able to get Amazon to tax sales on their behalf —previously people had to self report; and the reporting rate was very very low...
The USA are entering an isolationist phase (it started with Obama, acccelerated by Trump) so it's natural that the rest of world is a little bit less concerned about their threats.

Unfortunately the new possible friends look less friendly than the USA of the second half of '900.
Trim 45 min? That would barely account for the commute to the airport in most cities.
Most train stations are right in the city, as opposed to airports.

in France high speed rail between Paris and other cities has pretty much killed the local plane routes.
Not sure things have really changed. The US and EU countries have historically had disagreements and went their own ways.

At least in terms of major repercussions, threats do happen, but it seems like compromises are the end result, usually done quietly with little press (e.g. the recent Canadian free trade agreement).
"Asking around" is worthless as every case is different, even at a high level of "what law(s) are you accused of breaking, in what county are you accused, and are you guilty?" When you get into the specifics of facts, alibi, your personal reputation should you have to take the stand, etc, your precise case has never been argued before and will need a unique defense.
In a similar vein, people should be aware of the Danger Hiptop/Sidekick. Its physical design might seem outdated, especially the affordance for a physical keyboard, but let's remember that this came out a full five years before the iPhone. For the time it offered an unparalleled convergence of PDA, phone, internet connectivity, and entertainment value. I had one for a while. It was far from perfect (writing the entire OS in Java is probably the dumbest idea that killed it) but I can't help but admire the innovation that went into it.
Ah, great point. I was misled by the title, although now I recall that it did discuss Amazon as well.
Sure, but the same is true with airplanes, and we have TSA for airplanes.
> Aside: I'm really frustrated by the advice to validate all input. That's not useful advice and people should stop teaching it.

This suggests teaching what validation means, not abandoning the idea of validating. In other words, be especially aware that you're crossing a trust boundary when accepting input, and use proper validation algorithms, like proper parsing instead of ad-hoc pseudo-parsing using regexes.
Consider that “lawmakers” are almost entirely drawn from the ranks of lawyers, of course they have constructed a system that benefits their own kind.

> If that is true, why do countries spend money on development aid? Isn't that caring about what's right?

Maybe to recruit most of the people who can question the exploitation of these places? like in Africa?

Why are there little aid to helping to develop economic corridors/systems but billions to treat diseases are mostly side effects of poverty that won't be issues if said places are not so poor
Aquinas' argument is that there can't be an actual infinity, so even though it appears that everything has a prior cause, it must be that there is something which is self-causing. "The Big Bang" qua event clearly didn't cause itself (events only cause events that are later in time), so the typical way to cash this out is "the Big Bang" qua set-of-physical-laws is self-causing.

This leads to a new problems (why this set of laws vs. some other), unless you posit that the laws are somehow perfect or necessary (which is essentially Deism), but the laws of our universe seem to be contingent (lots of unexplained physical constants).

You can make a metaphysically plausible case of a Big Bang-Big Crunch cycle that goes on forever, but then you're back to believing in an actual infinity.
It sounds like you agree with me. That's not a loophole. That's a conscious decision on the part of whomever wrote that section of law to basically say "pay the lesser of these two methods."
Interesting I wonder about the displacement and induced demand in other scenarios like say adding another highway lane when there already is a high speed railway.
A recent development that went under the radar a bit is the rule change to allow for light weight train cars on the tracks in the USA. The Acela line in the Northeast has been plagued with problems even going 125 MPH due to the large increase in weight needed for US crash standards that dictate they basically need to come out pretty intact colliding with a freight train.

This made for very expensive, and heavy cars. And it also meant that using other high speed rail stock in the world could not be done without significant modification. The Acela train had problems with the brakes cracking from the weight. With increasing urbanization, some areas with close cities could very well be served by high speed rail. Even in Europe, larger distances are covered by low cost airlines now. But with increasing airport crowding and the fact that most train station are in city centers vs the fringes like most airports it could be very useful.

Rivers Could Generate “Blue Energy,” a Future Alternative to Nuclear
Perhaps he means when you’re already part of the company. You should nonetheless fight for your rights, but HR is not there to help you as employee, I suppose is what the message is about. They are there to safeguard the company from employee wrongdoings (be it true or not). I’d say talk to HR, but be 100% prepared to get backlash (maybe fire you) from them just in case. Sue them, move on.
It would be harder to ram a train into a building, of course, but a derailment of a high speed train full of passengers would be a plenty bad enough incident to create a perceived need for TSA-style person and baggage screening.
I have the opposite experience, for our project once we moved to yarn it just works, we have not touched the config in close to a year.

Your comment is half being not constructive, half insulting an author.

I don't think HN is about commenting thoughts in this way. You can be against what she said while being more specific and respectful.
I've used Proxmox on my dedicated host and it was working really well, however one problem I've encountered is that it doesn't really play well with guest OpenBSD (guest randomly was hanging, with no apparent pattern). But Linux and Windows worked perfectly.
Exactly. One of my more frustrating lessons was the sheer amount of time I had to spend on Government related activities whilst running my previous business. I was already a Libertarian going in, but it only served to entrench my stance further.

Even when you outsource those things to accountants, lawyers, payroll company, HR, etc... you quickly come to realize how much time, money and effort goes into the cost of maintaining government-related compliance.
Even with AGPL-3 a corporation could still use it internally (which I think was the GP’s point). It can’t be used to start an Overleaf competitor though, since you’d have to release all of your changes.
This is a command-line tool for project owners to measure if their open source project is welcoming contributors or not. The tool checks the repository against a list of metrics and the metrics are mostly inspired by Github’s Open Source Guides.
Why you need a status page
I don't know that I will ever be happy with lazy loaded UIs over a more traditional "Deliver everything first, update later" approach.

There's a nice middle ground.

In the app I work on very little is included at start up. It's literally just the components for the first screen you see. Then it pre-loads more components whenever the browser is idle based on what the user is likely to need. If the user does something that needs a component that isn't available yet it lazy loads it as usual.

If you only use lazy loading the user has to do something that needs a component and then wait until it's available. The strategy I use means there's an additional phase that utilises the time when the browser is idle, so it's much more likely everything is available before it's needed. It works well.
They mean for workplace problems, like complaints, harassment, etc. The line is "HR's job is to protect the company not you."

HR's normal functions like hiring, compensation, benefits, transfers, etc are fine to talk about.
I guess I can just print this out and show to people any time somebody wants to move to k8s.
HR works for the company, not you.
No fun chats, no office-gossip, do NOT talk to HR.
English Law (which is where the American system came from) is ingenious. It is the crown jewel of liberalism.

> These are peoples lives, why is this system gamified? Why is it not a truth-seeking system?

Which systems aren't "gamified"? Please point me to a "truth seeking system" that exists out in the world. Truth-seeking systems are an ideal.

The lawyer in this AMA, Sean O’Brien, argues for increasing the funding for public defenders. That's a smart idea. Lamenting the supposed awfulness of the system is lazy and useless.
This is incredible. The render speed is amazing!

The U.S. government is a big spender on tech. Tech CEOs have an obligation to shareholders not to turn away big clients.

A sovereign country makes an effort to police its borders. It should do so humanely, and not expect 100% success in stopping illegal immigration, but immigration enforcement is a proper function. I get the impression that critics of tech companies doing business with ICE are against all enforcement.

> The theory is two sides produce the absolute most convincing argument they can

It's clearly not the absolute most convincing argument, seeing as the US legal system has rules regarding the admissibility of evidence, which may disqualify certain arguments.
What is your experience with major proxmox and OS updates?
Thanks for the writeup - it is great to hear stories of getting bootstrapped from zero - one customer at time.

We do live in wondrous times when this doable for many more people that previously was possible.
The thing that makes go fun for me even while losing is that if you lose the whole game you've still got a lot of smaller skirmishes that you've either won or learned from. Losing a skirmish in go makes it very easy to go "Well what should I have done differently here?" and come up with a good answer.

It's different from a game like risk in that way. If you lose a skirmish in risk there's basically nothing you can learn from that since the amount of random involved just obscures any influence you have yourself. At the end of a game of risk I'm sat there having no idea what I did wrong, and no idea how to do better next time.
Please use the right words so that no one misunderstands the truth or thinks that you are lying.

What the USA is doing is in no way isolationist. That is something completely different with no parallels or relations in any way. Using the word isolationist is misleading to the point of mistruth.

It would be more accurate and representative of reality to say the USA appears to be acting more independently on the international stage. Isolation would imply the USA is not acting on the international stage at all.
I agree with you but, what about the USA not being aware of building a strong western economy?

Economic politics from USA the last years has been quite protectionist and it seems in the coming future it will have to fight against countries with literally billions of people, so my feeling is western countries better stay together.

Is not about fear but working class being tired, among other things, of big corporations avoiding taxes and they having to maintain the social structure.
Yes, OpenStreetMaps is an excellent resource. But again, at least in the United States, a lot of that information is actually sourced from the USGS which puts a lot of effort into providing accurate geographic information for free. You've been able to get "USGS quad sheets", PDFs, and database files with that information for quite some time.

Maybe that sort of extensive government support has something to do with the better coverage in some Western nations...and in practice, OSM doesn't provide a fundamentally different experience from other mapping/navigation devices/apps.
Heh. That is what I was doing in 2001. Wild to it in the wild still. Now I am only in the back end.
And his name is often invoked because he's such a fringe extremist. I doubt even 5% of Americans would agree with him, much less the ~40% who identify as right-leaning as you seem to imply.
> From what I have learned during my studies is that it is easy to kill cell cultures

The linked article mentions:

> only at zero-gravity do cells die via "programmed cell death"

Isn't triggering apoptosis a little different than not being able to keep cells alive?

Of course, this changes nothing about your other points - there are a lot of fishy things going on here

Freudian slip? Sounds about right though. The usability of huge portions of the web has deteriorated markedly in the last few years due to the over use of client-side frameworks.
nano isn't very weak, I have modified nanorc substantially and also have binded many keys. It works better than, say, notepad++ on windows.

For those who aren't touch typists, or occasional users, nano is just more comfort than vim or emacs.

And there is a editor named `micro`, which is similar to nano but has more features including bracket completion etc.. I am delaying switch because it is written in go (being unavailable in repos) and anyway I haven't found time to configure it. But it is scriptable in lua..
Totally agree with this. I keep seeing "suspense is coming, it's a game changer" but I am yet to see anything particularly game changing.
