I don't know if it was autocorrect screwing up or brainfart / fucky fingers (likely the latter I fear), but what I meant to write that clojure can completely prevent the callee from modifying caller data, since it uses persistent collections and persistent collections are naturally immutable.

Sadly by the time I realised the screwup I couldn't edit the comment anymore (one of the really annoying things about HN alongside stripping random characters from comments and the half-assed markup).
Err I think you have that back to front?

It's Syria that is mostly destroyed and has millions of refugees. Libya is bad but not quite as bad.

I agree with your point that there is degrees of destruction though.
> I found out a year later that it dramatically affected my personality. More or less like in the article, but in the opposite way.

So the blood pressure medication made you more calm? You didn’t specify the medication they prescribed, but that’s a common effect of certain types of blood pressure medication. In fact, certain blood pressure medications are prescribed off-label for their calming properties. One blood pressure medication is even approved for also treating ADHD (Guanfacine).

If you find that your doctor doesn’t acknowledge your side effects or dismisses your complaints, it’s time to get a second opinion or rotate doctors. I’ve never had a problem with my doctors not believing me.

> I'm pretty sure if you take anything like anti anxiety / depressants, psycho-pharmaceuticals, or just anything with known side effects, the impact must be dramatic.

In my experience, the good doctors are well aware that all medications come with side effects. The best doctors strive to minimize medication exposure for this reason. Ironically, many patients disapprove of this because it feels like the doctors are withholding treatments, even when it may be the best choice for the patient.

The most common example is people demanding antibiotics for common colds. Doctors know antibiotics won’t help and that they come with significant risks, but they also know that patients might leave a bad review if they leave empty handed.

In the case of psychiatric medications: Yes, the differences can be significant. However, the side effects are worth the tradeoff for alleviating serious psychiatric issues. Being naturally healthy is obviously preferable to being medicated with side effects, but that’s not the choice that patients are making in these cases. Instead, they’re choosing between continuing to be unhealthy without medication or dealing with some side effects in order to relieve some of their pain.

This is also why many people get stuck in cycles of discontinuing their psychiatric medications. Someone who achieves remission from depression with anti-depressant medication might think that they don’t need the medication now that they’re “better”, and when all they can see are the side effects. This leads them to discontinue, which often results in relapse of the underlying disorder if not managed with the help of their doctors.
and yet that sounds like a library and not a core language construct.

I think benzodiazepines can be partially behind my friend, Jerold Haas' death especially the withdrawal from it. These drugs are really strong and it if it is strong in a way that doesn't help it leads to great distortions in thinking. Some drugs can help a lot but if it doesn't help it can hurt pretty bad. I take some drugs that help me tremendously but I won't last long without it because I can't get restful sleep without it anymore. In that case I have a dependency without addiction but I read that benzos can also be addicting.

It is a shame Darry did not get the kind of help I received. I believe he died because of a psychiatric system that doesn't take time to observe patients and make small adjustments. I pleaded that Darry get hospitalized and I think he was but it just didn't work out for him. They got him in and in a few days he was out. I was in for weeks. I've basically been on the same medicine regimen since then 14 years ago.

(Darry was Jerold's nick name)
I’ve been disappointed with every consumer grade router out there. Countless bugs from annoying hiccups to a daily reboot. I feel like I’ve replaced my router every couple of years, never spending less than $150, up to $250.

Finally I splurged for a UniFi Dream Machine a couple of months ago and I could not be happier.

Nothing against the OpenWrt folks of course, but the reason these projects exist is the router vendors just suck. I won’t give them any more of my $ (Linksys, Netgear, ASUS in my case.)
> Gut feelings are often surprisingly accurate, sometimes we all pick things up a lot earlier than our consciousness cottons on. ... We've figured out that good looking people are not more upstanding than ugly people.

There, see the difference? You said it yourself - as it turns out, being good looking vs. ugly is not meaningful evidence as to whether you're going to treat others fairly. Being actively disdainful of others to the extent that you're giving off huge "creeper" vibes (perhaps unwittingly, perhaps intentionally!) can be evidence of sorts - at least in a very loose, "more likely than not" sense.

Of course, this is not to say that it should be considered anywhere close to OK to spread wild rumors about "the creeper vibes that this creepy guy gave me once", or anything like that - just think about how open this would be to abuse! But OP wasn't doing that, at all. He/she was seeking to confirm the assessment that others had already, independently come up with, and that can be a very good thing.

Playing devils advocate here. I prefer the predictability as well. But assuming an honest driver, it’s not usually their fault you got stuck in traffic or the ride took longer than expected. Should he/she not get paid for the extra time they drove?
This is unrelated to the article, but: Regarding the sense of the word loser you're using, there's also a fallacious aspect to it. Someone's worth as a human isn't defined by what they want to/are able to contribute with in society. You could live a perfectly good life that didn't contribute much more than your own survival and happiness.

I think that a majority of the people who post on HN are ambitious people who have such contributions as a very central part of their identity. Many people here might unfairly judge someone who works a part-time job, mostly watches Netflix in their spare time and is generally a good person in most interpersonal exchanges. And there's certainly a lot of people here who would judge themselves if that's all they did.

You could argue that any kind of self-improvement, therapy, dealing with depression and other issues, changes who you are.

The big question is: do they change you for the better or for worse? If they make you happier, more balanced, more in control of your behaviour, then I'd argue that's a good think. If they make you angry, uncontrolled, a slave to your impulses, then that's bad.

A lot of the stuff we put in our bodies subtly or not-so-subtly influences our behaviour. I wonder if at some point we'll understand these processes well enough to allow us to influence our own behaviour in the direction we want.

My dad lost everything because of alcohol and still to this day will not admit that was the cause. It definitely led me to treat alcohol with care. I have been drunk before and enjoy good beer, wine, and spirits. But, I've also gone long periods without drinking at all. If someone said tomorrow I couldn't drink again that would be fine, although I'd like to drink my aging bottle of Châteauneuf-du-Pape first :)

My attitude has caused weird things in relationships though. I was in a serious relationship when I was younger and while discussing kids I told her that if I ever had kids I would never drink again. The girl was beside herself and ended up mad at me about that for some reason. She just didn't understand what I saw and experienced growing up. Among other things, there is a smell that comes from heavy drinkers in the morning and it's not something I would ever want my kids to experience.

Possible too much information, but if someone can find comfort or benefit in knowing bits of my story then it's a good thing.
Sensitive data should be thrown away and the medical images could improve on the current state of the art medical image database used for machine learning.

I'd be more than happy to publish my medical images with results if it would be used for an open database.

I have been at doctors in third world countries, where doctors don't get the same level of education, but try to use the best tools available without paying too much money.
I have examined all the counterarguments against ZFS myself and none of them have been confirmed. ZFS is stable and not RAM-hungry as is constantly claimed. It has sensible defaults, namely to use all RAM that is available and to release it quickly when it is used elsewhere. ZFS on a Raspberry Pi? No problem. I myself have a dual socket, 24 Core Intel Server with 128 GB RAM and a virtual Windows SQL Server instance running on it. For fun, I limited the amount of RAM for ZFS to 40 MB. Runs without problems.
That’s extremely interesting.

That chart is fascinating.

I don’t think that really addresses my point though. My point is that comparing to 1999 might create a skewed statistical perspective because that seems to be around the time when Americans were engaging in the least self harm.
When the headband indicates that I had bad sleep, it always matches how rested I feel.

When the headband indicates that I had good sleep, it doesn't necessarily match how rested I feel.

However I don't think the latter point is because the device is giving me bad readings. If you don't _consistently_ get enough high-quality sleep, you won't feel well rested.

Thanks for the response!

Oh, I think scraping and curation are orthogonal. I agree that if I just scrape anything from the web that looks like a comedy show and don't do anything to help the user sort the good from the bad, it's going to be a bad time.

I want my site to be useful for casual comedy fans who just want to see big names like Judd Apatow or Jerry Seinfeld. And I also want it to be useful for comedy nerds who do want to see open mics and alternative comedy shows. Both experiences should be possible with automated scraping + curation/ratings/filtering.

> And hey, if you're moving fast and love Vue, keep rocking it. I just meant... use Rails. Use PHP. Use anything that emits HTML that doesn't need to be rendered in JS on the client. This is just my opinion. If you've never tried Rails, perhaps consider trying Rails. Most of the other server frameworks (Laravel, Express, Django) are just efforts to copy Rails in other languages, but they never quite nail it.

Ah, okay. I've never tried Rails, but I have been interested. Moreso in the last few years as I become a bigger fan of Basecamp. Maybe I'll find an excuse to learn it this year for a hobby project. PHP, I used for a while ~15 years ago, and I don't really miss it, but maybe the experience has gotten better since then.

Ceramics never made it into internal combustion engines, but they did make it into jet engines. In particular the whole 737-MAX debacle is because of the fabulous new engine built by GE, which Boeing simply thought they cannnot not install it on their 737 (unfortunately, they did a patch work at that).

Here's a quote from [1].

"These “super ceramics” are as tough as metals, but they are also one-third as heavy and can operate at 2,400 degrees Fahrenheit—500 degrees higher than the most advanced alloys. This combination allows engineers to design lighter components for engines that don’t need as much cooling air, generate more power and burn less fuel."

2400F is about 1600K. If you plug this into the Carnot efficiency formula and use a T_cold of about 220, you get something like 86%. If they ever find a way to replace the silicon carbide they currently use with hafnium carbide, they can reach 90%

It feels like the places where security is of utmost importance like in banking, security cards or health are the worst at doing it.

At least, lack of security of credit cards is understandable as banks are profiting from fraud by charging the victim a fee.

In health? This must stop. It's a failure of regulatory bodies as they throw so much junk policies around that the things that really require attention is just overlooked. The overabundance of paperwork and policies is not improving security, it's keeping away actors that could do way better.
The tests are done to look for such things. To deny them when presented is indefensible.
I don’t see how this is a horrible service experience. There is no expectation of a company to honor future discounts. Would you return a car if its price later dropped or if they suddenly had a better deal?
I assume two reasons, efficiency and because an efficient implementation of mutable state would have the same problem.

Right now, a single sentinel value makes a pointer null or not null (0x0 is null, everything else is not null). This is exactly how you'd implement a stricter type, like "Maybe". Encoded as a 64-bit integer, "Nothing" would be represented as 0x00000000 and "Just foo" would be represented as 0xfoo. No object may be stored at the sentinel value, 0x00000000. Exactly the same as what we have now, and provides no assurances that 0xfoo is actually a valid object.

Meanwhile, Haskell which "doesn't have null" crashes for exactly the same reason your non-Haskell program crashes with a null pointer exception:

f :: Num a => Maybe a -> Maybe a
f (Just x) = Just (x + 41)

This blows up at runtime when you call f Nothing, because f Nothing is defined as "bottom", which crashes the program when evaluated.

It's exactly the same as langages with null pointers:

func f(x *int) *int {
result := *x + 41
return &result
}

And the solution is the same, your linter or whatever has to tell you "hey maybe you should implement the Nothing case" or "hey maybe you should check the null pointer".

Where I'm going with this is that you need to develop entirely new datatypes and have an even stricter type system than Haskell. Maybe Rust is doing this, but it's hard. We all know null is a problem, but calling null something else doesn't make the problems go away.
> As a good example, consider Greta Thunberg. Regardless of your opinion of her, she is out there every day campaigning for a proper response to climate change. In doing so, she’s devoting her life to helping (even saving) all of us, trying to ensure that when your grandkids grow up they’re not living in some godawful scenario. And then her reward is so much hatred and vitriol from people who aren’t in prison living a terrible life with psychological scars - but rather from perfectly comfortable middle class haters. I can imagine sometimes she must sit down at the end of a hard day and think “what the hell is the point trying to help these people? Why do I even bother?”

Come on, this is ridiculous. She’s a political entrepreneur. She has her goals and values and they stand in direct opposition to those of others. She’s fighting effectively for them and they hate her for the threat to them she represents. In that she’s no different to Friedman or Krugman, or among elected officials to Trump or AOC. She put on her big girl pants and got into the political arena. When you do that and you’re good at it people are going to hate you. That’s humanity. People hate their enemies. People hate those who want to take things from them, or who say that they are bad or what they want is bad.

People don’t hate technocrats and engineers who propose keyhole solutions to climate change. They hate peoples who want to take b their nice big houses, their cars, their international holidays. Nobody hates Project Vesta, and they have a workable plan to reverse all CO2 emissions since the dawn of the industrial revolution for a mere 1.7% of global GDP.

The entire market for Uber was because it cost less then Taxi's

People have this mythical believe that prices are infinitely elastic and that all uber drivers can magically make 100K a year with out causing the company to fold

That is not how any of this works, as service like you are talking about has been around for decades, they are called black car services. They employ professional drivers at reasonable wages, they DO NOT however have a mass market because the costs of those cars are $$$$$$ and only people in the Upper income levels can affords to use such a service
The "haters are fanboys except for one thing" idea is useful and I think accurate, though not particularly original. The rest reads like a longer subtweet. It makes me wonder which particular hater(s) pg is hating on.

That said, there is one other aspect worth commenting on: the "nearly successful" kind of hater. Yes, they absolutely exist. Academe is particularly full of them. The reason, I think, is simple: some people resent those they compete with. For that kind of person, that means the people right next to them in whatever real or imagined ranking. Those further above or below are irrelevant, and not worth hating.

The other key (subtweeting a bit myself here) is that some people invite this particular kind of hate. They exaggerate any difference between themselves and those they have barely outdone. They hotly deny the role of luck or privilege in achieving their status, more often than pg seems (or wants) to think. Psychologically, they mirror others' envy with a desire to reaffirm their position in a race they know could have gone either way. There's a bond between the haters and the hated, and often both sides participate.

Driver getting paid and the passenger paying are two different transactions; that's one of the reasons there's a company in between them. So while the driver should be compensated, this doesn't necessarily means the particular passenger should be charged extra. The company in the middle has an opportunity to pool such risk.

On top of that, with all the tech specialists Uber hires, with all the complex tech they brag about, with all the data they suck in - and given that they know your starting point and your destination - how come that they can't include traffic in the price estimation? It's not like traffic jams materialize suddenly, out of nowhere, and disappear in the flash. With the data it has, Uber could tell in advance that your ride will be stuck in traffic, and price accordingly.
Modern philosophical thought and religion were built on that idea, and they were arguably inextricable from science in it's early stages. This is like someone people never fully recover from adolescence. Correct, it forms an integral part of who you eventually become.
