Your comment was perfectly natural. It's just that we know from experience what sort of thread that would likely lead to, as I explained at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22140452. Stack Overflow is much larger than the OP's fledgling community, and the recent controversies about it have burned pretty hot, so it could easily have become the dominant topic. That wouldn't be fair either to the fledgling community or to the HN community, which benefits more from having a new discussion than repeating an old one.

Also, I don't think it's really fair to the OP if we start putting her on the spot about Stack Overflow. She probably hasn't thought that much about it, since for most people the only way to get a project like this off the ground is by focusing on one thing for a long time.

That’s just for writing though, not reading. I still find lisp code very difficult to read, perhaps not due to parens specifically but more because there is no syntax.

Like just the very simple test assertion in this article is not particularly easy to parse. Obviously I realize that it calls a function and asserts the return value is equal to the expected value because that’s how tests work, but it’s so much less readable than what I’m used to.
Aneutronic reactors are good of course, but the Sun still puts out lots of other dangerous radiation. In particular, ultraviolet electromagnetic radiation from the Sun causes tens of thousands of cancer deaths every year. I have no problem accepting a few percent of that mortality from man-made radiation sources if that helps solving the CO2 emission crisis.
> With a registry lock in place, your registrar cannot move your domain to another registrar on its own. Doing so requires manual contact verification by the appropriate domain registry, such as Verisign — which is the authoritative registry for all domains ending in .com, .net, .name, .cc, .tv, .edu, .gov and .jobs.

Putting a 'registry' lock into place has upside and downside. As mentioned in the story the downside is in an emergency it's harder to make a change because of the friction of another step to make a change (and that means any change even DNS servers).

That said it still doesn't prevent social engineering. The implication in the article is that if you social engineer a CSR at a registrar the registrar having to have another step to get a domain unlocked (contact the registry ie in the case of .com et all Verisign) then someone will say 'hmm let's be sure on this'. In theory why would this happen? Once someone has been social engineered that's that, right? (I mean sure it's another step and sure that could mean someone thinks more but...)

Now let's say you take care of a domain using registry lock. What is the tradeoff if someone gains access to your dns servers and you need to change those servers but you can't do that easily because a domain is registry locked and now you need to depend on a registrar to contact the registry and get that done. How quickly will that happen?

My point is it's not a non-trivial decision to make at all and the downside has to be taken into consideration.

One last point. There are procedures in place if a domain is transferred to another registrar to get it back to the original registrar. The best advice is to setup some kind of manual monitoring (not dependent on a registrar) where you periodically check the registry whois for the domain and note any changes to it (dns or otherwise).

Normally they don't let satellites in the graveyard with any propellant as an explosion there can add unpredictable amounts of delta-v to the satellite and one or more husks that it connects with post explosion :-).

Personally I'd suggest they just start boosting out of geosync and keep going out until they run out of fuel but not enough time for that either it seems.

I would say some of the things that he premised on was true. But the idea he developed base on those things are nuts. it's not how he communicated them, it's just what it is.

(example not necessarily from Alex Jones, but just e.g)

US flag furled up on the moon (correct) -> like the wind blew on it (visual observation) -> it means the wind must have blown on it (fallacy) -> we never went to the moon.

Jet fuel cannot melt steel (maybe? correct) -> Therefore the fire it had on the world trade center cannot cause structural failure (does your chocolate not soften before it melts?) -> US did 911.

The premise can be true, the idea can still be bs.

For a certain kind of self-actualized casual gaming, it might actually work. You have to trust / live with the bad choices of your automatons, yet also remember to tell them when you want to change direction.

> Why do you even care about Haskell at all?

I don't know anything about, say Ruby, so I have nothing to say about it. But Haskell is an interesting and elegant language that I know, and I like to follow its progress. I just think it suffers from a split brain in the community. The language evolves to answer research questions that I'm interested in, yet some go out of their way to present it differently.

> And everything that has a cost should have a benefit or we would abandon the whole enterprise.

Yes, but that brings me to the point in the linked comments. We are interested in the question correctness => dependent types not dependent types => correctness. The answer to why Haskell should add dependent types is that it's an interesting research question, and that Haskell is designed to answer research questions.

> As an engineer I don't see the reason why theory and research must be separate.

They are separate because the concerns of engineers and researchers are vastly different. A researcher studies X and wants to know what X can do. An engineer wants to know the best way of doing Y. Not to mention that out of every 100 things in research, maybe one will ultimately, after years of engineering, will result in a solution engineers need. How do I know which one is it? I love both engineering and research, but the two are very far apart.

> But I don't go into threads about Java and ask Java developers why they bother with it.

If you were interested in Java then perhaps you should. BTW, I didn't ask why people who use Haskell bother with it. They do it for the same reason people use any non-popular language: they like it. I ask what they think the language is and why it is clearly one thing and yet they insist on presenting it as another. Haskell also suffers from a terrible evangelism disease, where its evangelists don't say things like "I really like Haskell, here's why, and perhaps you should to" but also make incorrect empirical claims about things I know a little about, like software correctness.

BTW, HN isn't a forum for Haskell fans, and anyone can say anything, as long as it's reasonable. I don't go to Haskell forums and discuss my problems with its community because I'm not in the target audience of those forums, but I think I am in HN's. This particular post is at the top of /r/Haskell right now, where it's being discussed by an exclusive group of Haskell fans.

But don't take what I write on social media too seriously. I don't. I think Haskell is a perfectly fine programming language, and it rightly has some fans.

Well, it is bad information and poorly informed speculation. It's sequenced already. There's a reasonable R0 for it. There are patients that have gone through the entire lifecycle of the disease while under observation. There's already a RT-PCR test for it. It has known similarities to existing coronavirii that are well understood.

Don't be a conspiracy theorist, particular when the "unknowns" are just - and there is no nicer way to put this - ignorance of internationally sourced public epidemiological data. The first cases of this occurred less than 7 weeks ago. If someone can't intelligently process news about this topic, they shouldn't add to the already large level of concern and confusion about it.

> Everyone ends up paying an approximately fair price for the one product that they were going to buy no matter what, and then gets a very good deal on everything else. [...] If you’ve ever bought a new car, you’ve probably faced down the endless lists of extra add-on features in cars (bigger rims, heated seats, LED lights, whatever) are always, always sold in these “packs” where 5 or 6 totally unrelated things are offered together in a bundle. Now you know why.

Those 'packs' always seemed like a rip-off even if you wanted all of the items. I can't imagine people think they're a fair price for just one of the items.

Then again, the manufacturer of my car only seems to offer individual items today, not package upgrades. They did have a "cold weather package" when I bought my car, which is obviously a set of related features.

> There’s a good reason why SUVs have become so popular: they’re the everything bundle.

One of the two components of the bundle, mentioned above, is a Miata for driving, and an SUV is not at all good at driving like a Miata.

> Unless you can replace all of the important jobs that a car does for you, all at once, then competing against the car means competing against free.

He's right about this. This is why I keep hearing the bus advocates say it's cheaper than owning a car, which is true but irrelevant. They're not going to win over most drivers until they make it cheaper than driving a car you already own.

Do you think it costs more to operate the robot than the robot company will make from the good PR this sort of headline generates for them? How many more hospitals and doctors will invest in the field of robotics and this company specifically if they can say it was them to helped get this virus under control? Not to mention the ISOPOD manufacturer, who will no doubt be fielding new orders after this article.

There is no good reason not to do it because, even if this turns out to be a slightly more harmful flu, the lessons, experience, and data gained from using these procedures and technology will enable a better response the next time something similar happens, and next time might be the "real deal."

I wouldn't say that postgres is hard to tune. Yes it has ~300 parameters in a config file, but a lot of those are to do with logging/admin etc.

There are about 6 parameters that I might touch on every deployment:

Listen address, shared buffers (default it to 25% RAM), connection counts, max workers (CPU core count), max parallel workers and max WAL keep segments.

That's 95% of the tuning you need on an average deployment. The rest is a bit dependent on workload (like checkpoint timeouts on heavy-write boxes).

EDIT: And when I say "need", the actual defaults out of the box will usually get you a long way. Just set the right listen address and let it do its thing.
