Re: "The atomic operators have U+269B ATOM SYMBOL incorporated into them. Their ASCII equivalents are ordinary subroutines, not operators". Obviously."

Except for the short-circuiting operators (such as || and &&) and the assignment operator, all operators in Raku are just subs with a special name. Adding your own operator to the language is as simple as adding a subroutine, e.g.:

sub prefix:<√>($value) { sqrt($value) }

Hi HN, I wanted to show you Principal, the last product I built!

Principal allows you to create engaging 1:1 presentations for your target customers. For example you can create business cases, analyses or just qualitative content personalized for your most strategic prospects.

At the core, think of Principal as Google sheet + zapier + Google slides + Tracking. You search datapoints on your accounts, load them in the provided Google Sheet and load up your presentation. The system will create many versions of the doc, individualized for each of your accounts. Getting started video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSiFdy-36U4

The ideal use cases is b2b sales (especially to high-ticket enterprise customers), but it can also work well for other cases where you want to communicate individual value to your prospect. If you have any thoughts or feedback, I’d love to hear from you!

Generally I find that many companies have a small amount of difficult problems. The trick is to become the person who gets to solve them when they come up.

At one of the places I worked, I got to implement a request batching algorithm using dynamic programming, at another place I got to implement a nurse rostering algorithm (this is not as easy as it sounds, and is an active research area), and at a third place I implemented the recursive tree algorithm that keeps a lookup table of user permissions up-to-date in a situation where roles inherit permissions from other roles.
SonarLint: Fix Issues Before They Exist
Redpill was a community of 'involuntary celibates', who were bad with women, and reacted to it with women hate, claiming that they were woke and saw women as manipulative. It took off, had a strong number of supporters.

Blackpill is a derogatory term for a similar pattern - people who are bad at something and respond by being 'woke' and dismissive.

I suppose the classic English term is "sour grapes".
I think that when you see enough of it, these things are pattern matched idioms in your head. You hardly even consciously think about it. You have x, you y and you need it transformed to z; you did something like that 1000 times before and because the language is so terse, you remember the snippets of incantations to do it without looking anything up.

When I programmed Pascal decades ago, I had my own lib, which was huge, it was just a massive collection of functions pulled from projects which I all wrote myself and all remembered (and still remember). When I had to build something, it was mostly cobbling together those functions. Worked a lot faster (with more stable results) than Google->SO or npm search and install.

APL(/j/k) have that but with the added benefit that you don’t have to write or download a library; everything is composable, so instead of remembering/searching the functions I (or someone else wrote) remember the actual implementation... Which, in those languages, is usually the same amount of chars as the function name and usually smaller than the function name with params.

Hi, I'm the author of CleverCSV. Although the package was initially written to mainly improve the accuracy of automated dialect detection, we ended up changing some aspects of the C parser as well (most notably increasing the look-ahead to two characters). This has made the parsing somewhat faster than the builtin csv package (around 10-20%).

Given an engine running at 50,000kW (roughly cruising power for a post-Panamax vessel) for a week (a very rough “average” shipping), you’d be looking at ~3x10^13 J. The Hiroshima bomb was 6.3x10^13 J. So, an average shipping is about half a Bomb in direct heat - add in the emissions from burning the diesel/bunker oil, and their warming effect, and you’re probably at a full Bomb per shipping.
If that project was the control software for an airplane, and thousands of people were going to risk their lives on that plane, I think we'd appreciate someone saying: "wait, there are still hundreds of potentially fatal bugs in the firmware. Let's fix those bugs and do some more testing before we trust our lives to the system."

Even if there was a risk to remaining where we are (as in medicine), and the plane was our only hope, it would still be wise to know about the risks and make an informed decision.

Perhaps, in theory, the system balances the risks, as you said. But in reality people often cheat, take shortcuts, make mistakes, or believe what they want to believe. We will probably always need the contrarians and skeptics to balance out the overly optimistic and the plainly dishonest.

TSNIIMASH is one of Russia's primary space research bureaus. If someone "transmitted their research findings" about hypersonic rockets out of e.g. Lockheed or Boeing, their ass would be in prison in the US, too, under ITAR.

Re: There is a balance between completely abandoning old users (e.g. Perl 5 to Perl 6)

Please note that Perl 6 has been renamed to Raku (https://raku.org using the #rakulang tag on social media).

In the original design of Perl 6, a source-level compatibility layer ("use v5") was envisioned that should allow Perl 5 source code to run inside of Perl 6. So the plan was to actually not abandon old users.

In my opinion, this failed for two reasons:

1. Most of Perl 5 actually depends on XS code, the hastily devised and not very well thought out interface to C code of Perl 5. Being able to run Perl 5 source code in Perl 6 doesn't bring you much, unless you have a complete stack free of XS. Although some people tried to achieve that (with many PurePerl initiatives), this really never materialized.

2. Then when the Inline::Perl5 module came along, allowing seamless integration of a Perl 5 interpreter inside Perl 6, using Perl 5 modules inside of Perl 6 as if they were Perl 6 modules, it basically nailed the coffin in which the "use v5" initiative found itself already in.

And now they're considered different languages after the rename to Raku, dividing already limited resources. I guess that's the way of life.

Aldrin gets mentioned in the same breath as Armstrong often enough I bet quite a few people could pull that one out. You'd lose a bunch with "who's the guy who stayed in orbit?" and almost everyone with "name any Apollo 12 astronaut" or even the more-generous "name any Apollo astronaut who at least reached Lunar orbit and wasn't on 11 or 13". Most of the people who get that second one would probably just luckily guess Alan Shepard without actually knowing for sure he was on an Apollo mission, just the first famous space-program-guy who came to mind who wasn't Armstrong or Aldrin (and in fact the Apollo part of the career is not why they know his name).

I don't remember the details, but when I looked into switching to LVM snapshots, I ran into some sort of blocker.

My use-case is that I run Sandstorm, and want to be able to back it up while it's running. That means:

- Take a snapshot
- Mount the snapshot as a filesystem
- Run tarsnap against that filesystem
- Release the snapshot

I think the trouble I ran into was at the mount step.

Yes, but writing C is a completely different, and much more onerous experience. You have no sensible strings or hashmaps in the standard library, and using external libraries is a massive pain. That's not even to mention Undefined Behaviour and memory safety issues.

For most data-munging programs, python, node, java, and rust code will be roughly similar (Java and Rust will make you annotate types). I've been amazed at the performance you can get from Rust code that looks practically identical to the equivalent JavaScript.

Re: I understand your point of view but on the other hand we can make the parallel with Perl 5 and 6.

Please note that Perl 6 has been renamed to Raku (https://raku.org using the #rakulang tag on social media). So Perl and Raku are now considered to be different languages, albeit from the same inspiration.

Now, if Python 2 people would decide to rename Python 2 to something else, I guess it would be a mirrored parallel :-)
Sure, you owe him a car for the duration, the fact that he can get it whenever he wants doesn't change much. If the car you stored goes missing (and you set up a contract) you'll find you now owe him money.

Another interesting thing is that you (a bank) will typically store not one but a hundred cars, and you will lend 90% of those to other people at any given point, in exchange for money. So everyone thinks their car is stored in a garage and they can get it whenever but they probably can't. The system only works because people don't need their cars that much.
