> Re. teams: For any project above a certain size, you'll have teams. If that's a network boundary, a process boundary, or a library boundary doesn't change that you'll have multiple teams for a large project.

For sure, and one of the big selling points for micro-services is you can split those teams by micro service, with each team having an independent service they are responsible for. But when a big chunk of everyone's development is done on one giant service everyone shares you don't get the same benefits you would if the services were independent. Or put another way, splitting micro-services vertically can yield a bunch of benefits, but splitting them horizontally introduces a lot of pain with few benefits.

> I'm not sure I get the resiliency point. I worked on a project where the dependent data service was offline painfully frequently. We used async tasks and caching to keep things running and were able to let the users do many tasks. For us our tool was still fairly useful when dependencies went down. If we used monolith then everything would be down, right? That doesn't sound better.

I'm not saying to never spin off services. If you have a piece of functionality that you just can't get stable for the life of you, splitting it off into it's own service, and coding everything up to be resilient to it's failure makes a lot of sense. (I am very curious what the cause of the data service crashing was that you couldn't fix.)

But micro-services aren't a free lunch for resiliency. You're increasing the numbers of systems, servers, configurations, and connections which by default will decrease up-time until you do a ton of work. Not to mention tracking and debugging cross service failures is much more difficult than a single server.

With current ammunition the gun will not quickly and reliably take out modern tanks.

Guided ammunition has been done for 12.7 mm ammunition. The A-10 carries 30 mm ammunition, so it would be no problem to supply it with guided ammunition.

Mission kill can be achieved by splitting a tread, pitting the surfaces of the sensor lenses, or ripping off an antenna.

Even the most modern armor will fail when repeatedly hit.

MANPADS are not a serious threat. That is just FUD.

A lambda that does not close over its environment is not really a true lambda. It's just a normal function with function scope. I suspect we have some difference in terminology difference: what I call lambda is what you call nested functions. I hate it when there are those kind of trivial terminology differences.
For people who experience having an internal monologue: Suppose you see a bagel on the kitchen table in the morning and decide whether or not you're hungry enough to eat it. Does that process involve an internally experienced stream of words (whether "audible in your mind's ear" or not) like "I'm pretty hungry" or "I bet that bagel would taste good"? Is this what it would be mean to have an internal monologue? Because I certainly could decide to eat a bagel without experiences any words. Subjectively, it would involve me imagining the pleasant feeling of satiation and the annoyance of cleaning up and weighing them against each other, with no words involved.
I write Python for a living, and it is an astoundingly productive language. What it gets right is the compromise between functional, object-oriented, and imperative styles.

> How are utilities not a natural monopoly?

Water, sewer, and storm drain, yes, that's a plausible natural monopoly. Electrical power, telephone, and internet, no. At most the conduits that the cables have to go through could be a natural monopoly, but not the services themselves.

This could be an argument for individual municipalities building their own infrastructure, owning it, and leasing it to service providers like ISPs.

It is not an argument for what we actually have in the US, which is higher-level governments giving monopolies to private companies, and those private companies successfully suing individual municipalities that try to build their own infrastructure, own it, and lease it to service providers.

Well, there's a couple ways you could look at it. Maybe the staff for those positions are people who would like the hours. After all, not everyone has kids to come home to. Maybe it's a nice thing?

Although there's another way; which is that those teachers are already getting fucked over in every situation and the state knows they'll continue to take it because they really want to teach.

I have friends and family who teach, and they went in debt up to their eyeballs to work a low paying job because there's nothing more they want to do than to be educators. They're great people. Rare people. I sure wouldn't do it. Then the electorate who often tasks them with raising their children fucks them over time and time again.
These 2 scenarios aren't equivalent. Land is an exclusionary good; you using it means I can't. Equity is non-exclusionary. Additionally, the city has to provide services to owners of land, which requires money. The government has no such obligation to owners of equity.
How I Survived the Transition from Developer to Manager

I think it’s definitely hard for practitioners to adjust to FP, especially when under the pressure to ship. I think a great opportunity to look for ways to apply FP would be in small utilities or libraries. I’m planning my next project in Python but if I’m fortunate to ship that I’ll see if I can circle back to Haskell and go from beginner to intermediate by building a small library.

"A functor instance lifts a function over some structure to affect only the values within. An applicative (a monoidal functor) leverages a structure and function together while lifting the function over structure.

A chance to get up to $1M in funding and a free SV incorporation
Too many unknowns to say. We don’t know:

- how many infected but not confirmed. They could be asymptotic or mild enough not to seek medical treatment. This would increase the denominator.

- time between infection to first symptom to death. Therefore we don’t know which way the remaining confirmed cases will go. Probably increase the numerator over time but don’t know by how much.

- unclear how accurate the reported numbers are.

Stalker is still the most beautiful film I've ever seen. I took a film class in college and fell asleep when we were watching it (embarrassing, but the professor was wholly understanding) - I watched it 3 or 4 times later the same week on my own. But it's also the film that's been hardest for me to understand. I "get it" the least of all, I'm still not sure what it's about - it's an otherworldly experience, though.

With Stalker I turn to Fellini - I don't like the idea of "understanding" a film. I don't believe that rational understanding is an essential element in the reception of any work of art. Either a film has something to say to you or it hasn't. If you are moved by it, you don't need to have it explained to you. If not, no explanation can make you moved by it. That's why I don't think my films are misunderstood when they are accepted for different reasons. Every person has his own fund of experiences and emotions which he brings to bear on every new experience-whether it is to his view of a film or to a love affair; and it is simply the combination of the film with the reality already existing in each person which creates the final impression of unity. As I was saying, this is the way the spectator participates in the process of creation. This diversity of reaction doesn't mean that the objective reality of the film has been misunderstood. Anyway, there is no objective reality in my films, any more than there is in life.

I don't think what you're posting is inconsistent with the observation the person you're replying to made -- Apple is hostile more specifically to GPL 3, which a lot of companies seem to be (rightly or wrongly). IIRC, a lot of GPL-licensed stuff that came with OS X, like bash, just stopped being updated by Apple when it moved from GPL 2 to 3; moving to zsh lets them keep their default shell up to date while also keeping whichever execs/lawyers have decreed "Thou Shalt Not GPL 3" happy.

Also, IIRC, Apple doesn't have a policy of prohibiting GPL-licensed software from being in the App Store, but rather, the FSF's own interpretation of the GPL is that its terms are incompatible with the App Store's terms.

> You can’t tax people for living in the properties they own.

We have to do this if we want to allocate land properly. Land is an exclusionary good, so one person owning a piece of land means that someone else can't own it.

Imagine a society with no property tax. What prevents one (or a few people) from buying up all the land, holding it indefinitely, and then charging arbitrarily high rent to everyone else? Property tax forces people to sell if they using it inefficiently, and makes sure that few aren't able to take land and exclude everyone else.
As an Indian person I frankly don’t think there’s anything special about Indians. The immigrants you meet are not representative of the country as a whole... in India you will meet plenty of lazy imbeciles. It’s just that India has a vast population of technically educated people, and in contrast to China, these people have grown up in a heavily British-influenced society (esp. language) so they integrate in the US and UK better than Chinese.
I actually wrote a monad tutorial last year: https://bytes.yingw787.com/posts/2019/12/06/monads/

As others have stated, I have an internal monologue but it's optional, most of my thoughts occur without a verbalized internal dialogue.

Interestingly, I have an internal soundtrack sometimes too. A lot of time when composing music, or even playing live, I'm really just transcribing what I literally hear in my head. A lot of my musical education has been for the purpose of being able to perform the "internal verbalization" fast enough to be able to accurately transcribe complex harmonies and melodies before the aural image fades.

Over the course of my life there are two instruments where at various times I've gotten to the point where I can directly play what I hear in my head without translation, transcription, or analysis. I often find myself recording my playing so I can analyze it later. When I've not been practicing with enough regularity for that direct "mind-sound to performance" connection to work I get extremely frustrated with my playing.
Even this we don’t know yet. Could be worse than SARS, although most likely not lower than flu. Not enough data to tell yet.

The property tax in Palo Alto is 0.42%, which is less than 48 states in US. So, not dead last, but I think you can agree that it's pretty close.
I'm not persuaded. There's no such thing as "understand just fine now". Ponzi schemes have been understood since the 1920s, but people keep falling for them. More sophisticated investors can get taken by more sophisticated tricks. Having worked for financial traders, I know just how pleased people can be to have pulled one over on people they see as adversaries.

I agree it's possible that these assets could be fine now, either because people have truly learned a lesson, or just because of the "once bitten, twice shy" reaction that takes a few decades to wear off. But the principle by which you declare them fine, namely that all assets are fine, is definitely wrong.
Ask HN: What's the hardest part about learning a new skill on your own?
I've never able to swim. 2 weeks ago I set myself a challenge to be able to swim in 7 days. By the end of the first day, I was able to tread water. By the end of 7 days of swimming, I was able to do a full lap of the pool[1]. My technique wasn't great but I'm still happy with my progress.

Looking back, there are definitely things that I could have done to learn even faster. This has made me curious about how other people learn new skills.

What do you find most difficult when learning a new skill? Are there any recurring things that help you learn new skills faster? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Can confirm, have no internal monologue.
Homeowners are disproportionately likely to vote, so their constituents no doubt agree with them on this issue.

The real problem is that when you incentivize and subsidize putting your net worth into a single large investment vehicle, and then let holders of that investment decide how much competition to it will be allowed nearby, it creates a vicious cycle of ever-increasing supply shortage.

Eventually, of course, this will reverse. When the boomers die, renters will be the ones voting. But not before an entire generation has their net worth leeched by a geriatric vampire class of rent-seeking housing supply hoarders.

Solo traveling is where I learned how to be alone. Turns out, I don't mind hanging out with myself. Not an insane revelation, but an important one.

Yet when I try to convince people to solo travel, I encounter so much hemming and hawing, so much resistance. I suppose there's a safety aspect. I'm male and can't speak about traveling as a woman or trans-man. But I do meet many female travelers. And I don't know significantly more guys who solo travel.

I'd imagine there's a fear of loneliness, of homesickness, of paralysis in face of being so untethered. Which, yes, can happen. It comes in waves. Some days I'd be horribly, terribly lonely. Some days I'd do almost nothing. It always passed.

Anybody who has the time, the money, the temptation to travel alone should do it. Which is often less than people imagine. Flights have gotten incredibly cheap. Hostels are acceptable for a few weeks. Food can be bought on the street or prepared from grocery stores. Every country, every city has low income people, and they still eat.

The lifestyle certainly suits the young more than the old. So then why do so many of my young friends delay traveling? Why are they so resistant to the idea of slowing down their education a little to see the world? I know, I know. They need the money. But I do have friends who aren't stuck in a hyper-competitive race to optimize their earnings by age 25. Who are fortunate to take the luxury of a break.

I shouldn't care this much. Yet I can't help but find it so odd that people require someone else to be with them while traveling. If I had to find a travel partner with the same time off, similar goals with traveling and who I wouldn't murder after a week or two, I'd probably be stuck at home.

You're saying it like it's a bad thing?
Its about maintenance. Things which are "undefined behavior" can actually have a defined behavior if the compiler provides it. By doing something undefined in the stl, the compiler authors are saying that the compiler will support it and if the compiler changes, they authors will also change the library. If you rely on this behavior, theres no guarantee that the compiler wont change this behavior in a future update thereby breaking your code.
