Can't have your cake and eat it too. If you want to let your citizens shit on the side of the road and not wash their hands, or run open markets where human/animal waste and raw meat are mixed -- that is cool but then we need to say sorry no more planes are gonna be allowed from Wuhan because y'all don't know how to act.
Perhaps, but at least in my area, I can just choose to shop somewhere that doesn't require a club card to get discounts.

Most places have a club card where you get points to redeem in the form of cash back after some amount of spend, but the minimum redemption is so high that you'd have to make them your main store to get enough to redeem, so I doubt most people with a card actually redeem the points. Advertised prices don't need a card, except at 1-2 places (e.g. a rebranded Kroger store in my area). I just avoid places that require a card to get advertised prices, and my life is simpler (no recitation of my phone number, just a "no thanks").

However, everywhere asks for my phone number, so I can't help but feel like people are being coerced into tracking. I think we need to remind friends and whatnot that giving your phone number out quite often doesn't save you money, and just remember a short list of places where it does. For those places, I give my parents' number (they can have the fuel points or whatever), which makes the data fairly useless.
I'm Korean so I glad to see someone speaks out this.

Actually it was rather inevitable, partially because of the U.S. gov that time. The Korean gov wanted to grow e-commerce/e-banking in 1999 but the American gov did not allow to export cipher higher than 40 bits. As a result the Korean gov had to develop its own 128 bits cipher (SEED).

It was even before AES/SSL/TLS were introduced so the whole crypto stack was implemented using ActiveX.

I would say it was quite pioneer in 1999 but since then the gov don't even dare to replace the crypto policies. Now we are stuck at this in 2020.
Yes, that's what I meant by it.

> Clojure teams at companies like Walmart and Apple processing massive amounts of data.

Yes, I already agreed it does well in certain niches. Usually in query-esque niches. SQL is also functional-esque for similar reasons.

You seem to be contradicting yourself, saying that other factors overwhelm FP's alleged programmer productivity gains, yet point out niches where it does well and is common. It spreads there, but not elsewhere.

> There's a lot of marketing goes into success, and I admit - sound engineering often lacks good marketing.

Yes, but that's mostly independent of programming productivity. It's not a difference maker in comparisons. Just because programming isn't everything to the bottom line doesn't mean it's nothing to it. For a software shop, programming is still a notable portion of activities that affect the bottom line. If you are 1% more profitable than your competitors, that difference will compound over time. If you grow 4% a year but your competitor grows just 3% a year, you'll eventually swamp them. Do a spreadsheet on it if you don't believe me.
Small feature request: Being able to rotate the image. For some cities, the "canonical" map is not vertically aligned with north (e.g. Barcelona, in maps usually the coast is horizontal, so north is pointing top-right).
FWIW, many proof readers and editors still prefer to work in hard copy, and there are still some writers out there working on drafts longhand or on old school typewriters.

Aside from the mentioned advantages about annotations, I find that working with hard copy produces a different mindset, almost as if your brain recognises that this is still a draft and everything is subject to reconsideration. Counter-intuitively, words on a screen seem more "set in concrete".

It also seems that the brain works differently when sat in front of a humming monitor as opposed to literally anywhere else in the world which is where you can edit hard copy.

Being that "a fresh set of eyes" is often so valuable in both writing and programming, anything that can get you a fresh perspective is potentially valuable, particularly with such a low buy-in.
it is hardly surprising that people who love their dogs or cats (and essentially treat them as family members), would go an extra mile to take them in the cabin,

People have been flying with animals in the cabin for decades. I've done it three times with cats since the 1990's.

The difference is that back then, it was to transport the animal from one side of the country to the other safely, so the animal stayed in its container under the seat.

Today, attention whores treat other living creatures like they're fashion accessories, and let them run around the cabin and sit in the seats and do whatever they want, as long as it gets them the attention they crave.
As you shouldn’t, there have been at least two horrible incidents in the last year or so where “ESA” dogs mauled another passenger.
In the particular case of guide dogs fir the blind, having the dog poop on command is also what lets the owner know where the poop is, so it can be properly disposed of.

It'd be nice if I could read it.
Yes, but it's not granular per-application [i believe]. On an install script you can create folders in %localappdata% without needing elevated permissions meaning that %localappdata% and any files/folders you create are owned by the current user; unless a script does something with the file permissions, any other application can scan, access, and modify other applications (same goes for all of your user files but that's just par for the course for win32).
The real alternative is to kennel your pets or hire someone to pet-sit.
> But if the exponent’s significant bit goes from 1 to 0, why would that affect the mantissa at all?

It's not a matter of the "significant bit", but whether the WHOLE exponent is 0 or not. An exponent of 0 is a special case; as soon as you set ANY bit in that exponent, the mantissa goes back to the "implicit 1" prepended bit.

> Also, if the significant bit is always 1, how are negative exponents represented?

Exponents are represented in a "biased representation", counting up from 2-127.

> I understand there’s an implicit “hidden” bit, but what conditions cause it to become 0 instead of 1?

Exponent bits being all 0.

> And does that bit represent the sign of the exponent, or something else?

It represents the leading bit of the mantissa.
It isn’t literal McCarthyism. Literal McCarthyism would be some within the ruling party making accusations of treason towards someone at a company advocating for the wrong political position, leading to them being black balled. A culture where you can be fired for advocating for the wrong political position, without the interference of the government, is just one where public relations are given a high level of importance.

And this was classified at a level above top secret.
It's understandable why they do it. It is still wrong, and as the OP noted it could wind up ruining things for everyone who has a real service animal.
Unfortunately, broadly required courses are often jokes designed to be passed by any warm body, filled with apathetic students, and often taught by someone who knows this.

With AP transfer, I only took 5 courses (1 psych, 2 phil, 2 econ). I found the psych to be a waste and the econ was not relevant to this humanity context. I actually found the philosophy to be really useful in this context, but discussions were sometimes a bore since just about nobody did the readings before class.

Yes there is rampant ESA abuse, but note the airlines all charge $175 each way for a pet. Isn’t that obvious collusion?

No, you need to pay them competitive rates compared to their other job offers, not market rates for CEOs.

Most people on HN are speculating that many (not all!) engineers would be perfectly qualified for the job for instance. Market rates for this sort of person is a few hundred thousand. not a few million.

I think you and commenter above have some weird romanticized (and uninformed) notion of simple country farmers who are scraping a living, country peasant style, trading stories on their grizzled/smiling faces as they keep a 100 year old family tradition alive.

The Wuhan market in question was a professional concrete block building with heavy trucks bringing in stock and organized stalls with fluorescent lighting and walls.

I'm sure they value your concern for their primitive social networks as they pay each other on Alipay and swap family stories on Wechat.

My advice is to stop using your desire for some fiction to be true to tell people how you think things shouldn't be done.
I came upon uLisp over a few years ago, and was glad to see it show up for the ESP8266 chips. It makes programming these tiny controllers with WiFi enjoyable. Simple things like leaving the parameters blank in a WiFi connect function disconnects it from any current connection. It also blends in with my love of the minimal. I had been playing with Wasp Lisp [1,2] at the time when I found uLisp.

How does it work even when it is completely legitimate

I've done it with cats. They were required by the airline to have a health certificate from a vet stating that they were healthy enough to fly, to be kept in their container at all times, and I had to pay a fee. I think it was $200 last time.

The vet also supplies tranquilizers to give the animal just before the flight. That keeps it calm and helps prevent it from needing to use the litter box.

Coast-to-coast isn't a problem. 12 hours? Animals shouldn't fly intercontinental. There's simply no reason for it.

At one time you could mail a cat. I mailed one from Charleston to New York using Delta's package service. The fee was less because it went into the cargo hold, but it still needed documentation from the vet. I don't know if that's still allowed.

Airplanes aren’t closed-air circulation systems. Air is pulled in from the outside and heated before being injected into the cabin which releases air to the atmosphere directly through openings on the aircraft. You get more fresh are on airplane than you do in the airport you were sitting in before you boarded it.
The issue here is that businesses are in the habit of trusting the "Service Animal" labeling and not checking if it's genuine or someone's ESA.

Pratt does packaging and inherited the business and vast wealth. Made it? No. Grew it? Maybe - haven't looked at the detail. Recycling of this kind has a stink of "tax optimisation and subsidy claim" about it but I don't know this as a fact in this case. It's a massive stretch to say he made his fortune trying to stop climate change when he grew it by growing his inherited packaging business. Claiming he made it trying to stop climate change completely degrades the whole idea of this story, really. Number 4 on the list. Net Green Worth 6.8 billion. The same has his entire net worth. It's comic. If you haven't thought about it much, landfill use is very, very low on the list of things to address in stopping climate change. As its own issue it lacks the climate change urgency yet always get itself shoehorned into the climate debate somehow with subsidy to follow.

No doubt we'll have yet another hollywood style celebrity who knows nothing, is famous for being attractive to look at and if they have any skill at all it is lying convincingly go on to tell us to tackle climate change we should refill our water bottles in stead of placing them in the bin in the follow up article. "Well it's a start" No it isn't, it's nothing at best, it's a distraction from adults talking intelligently and undermines grass roots movements, which is the whole point of the publicising of celebrity advocacy in general. "Let's ignore this person who knows and makes a solid case, because Angelina Jolie has thoughts her publicist would like to share as long as you agree to these terms so she massage her image while you farm your clicks."

Bloomberg. Yeah. Bloomberg claims to be better than this. Now let's play "What has this article got to do with Mike Bloomberg trying to undermine the reform of the massive corruption in the Democrat party?" Unless you think he's actually seriously trying to be elected, which is something worth discussing if you do. What isn't worth discussing is weather Bloomberg News are, possibly among other things, his personal propaganda, because they've actually announced that themselves.

Genunine idealogically Republicans and Democrats alike are all desperate for reform. From just about anywhere, which is a concern because there are places we don't want it from, like the extremes. Under-qualified Obama got in on that ticket. Democrats voted for Donald because "Just maybe a maverick outsider, and anyway unlikely to be actually worse" Plenty of republican support for Bernie because "Just maybe a maverick outsider and anyway unlikely to be actually worse"

It saddens me that Bernie as the most credible Democrat reformer would have smashed Donald as the most credible Republican reformer at the last election. It saddens me because Donald was the most credible Republican reformer and that there still doesn't seem to be anyone better among Republicans standing against him.

Well, things like... you have 2, 2 dimensional arrays of the same size, A and B.

You want to make a new array, where each cell in A is added to the same cell in B. So you are going to do a loop over 2 variables, right?

I find this very curious, as I've traveled with a cat on coast-to-coast flights three times. All I had to do was pay a fee to the airline and provide proof of health at check-in.

I wouldn't be so definite about "there was no logging". I was just speculating. If they do have logging, then maybe they are sure that no one illegally got their data (but if that was the case, I would expect a sentence with more confidence).

There's been a lot of news along the lines of "We found an unsecured database of voters, and we don't even know who owns it", now those idiots I'd be more sure that they didn't turn on logging. With Microsoft, I'd believe them a bit more, because they'd be afraid of getting busted for using weasel sentences.
Often when someone says they want more self-esteem, they want to stop feeling bad. You have an ugly idea of who you are and think that replacing it with a not-ugly version would be good. People try to solve the problem by building themselves up, in practical ways in reality or in their minds. Then they chase a bunch of external things in order to keep that esteem up when it seems to work for a while.

If you get into a healthy space, though, you realize you will always feel a little bad/good about circumstances, but your _core_ sense of "feeling good" doesn't need to be connected to that stuff. It's actually not. Mostly, you can shed the major part of depression, anxiety, and worrying about your "self" and whether it is esteemed, just by changing how you breath, how your spine is positioned, and a few other things that can be done pretty quickly. Quickly, but lots of practice makes it a lot better.

I recommend taking the Inner Engineering program at ishafoundation.org. It is basically meditation and "yoga", but there is not really the "exercise" thing that people do in the US. I'm not into New Age things, or trying to have "beliefs", and certainly not interested in following gurus or donating money to anyone. I spent 4 days at their ashram and got a set of skills over a year ago that makes everything in life easier. Nobody ever tried to sell me anything afterward. I know 4 other people closely who have done it, and kept with it for years afterward, and met a few dozen others from the class that I keep up with. I know they have had classes in the Bay Area in the last year too, if India is a bit far away. I walked out of the first day of class there "in the zone" and spent a ton of time there afterward. It's really great.

Modern mathematics is based on formal systems, not an "abstraction" of counting jelly beans. That's like saying that chess is an abstraction of war. It seems like a reasonable analogy but they're actually entirely different things.

A formal system of category theory is no more abstract than a formal system of natural numbers. The apparent difference in abstraction is relative to the subjective (and irrelevant) choice of application. Category theory seems abstract for counting jelly beans, but for other applications it might be less of an abstraction than arithmetic.

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/298912/real-world-a...

Similar to how computer programs can be broken down into physical laws about the movement of electrons, mathematical proofs can be broken down into deductive statements about ZFC set theory, etc. In both cases this is ideally about concretely building upon previous work, not creating abstractions.

The problem of incomprehensible proofs isn't about a "tower of abstraction". There's no abstraction within formal systems. The system is described and the implications are deduced. The problem is expanding complexity with a lack of detail and exposition that allows for misunderstandings and perhaps even errors.
