> And for people who make little enough money where saving that money every month isn't a viable option, they really have no business buying any sort of comprehensive auto insurance anyway. Liability only insurance is far cheaper, and provides all the protection necessary to prevent a car accident from being financially world-ending.

You might want to consider this from a different perspective.

For the well-paid like myself who has invested well and has substantial savings, a liability insurance claim that could potentially cost several hundred thousand dollars is "financially world-ending", while having to pay for repairs on my car after an accident is not.

But for someone with no savings, being unable to drive their car because they cannot afford to pay for repairs after an accident may mean losing their job (public transportation isn't so great where they live) and definitely qualifies as "financially world-ending" for them. Whereas several hundred thousand dollars of liability is actually LESS of a threat -- the lawyers can quickly discover that they don't own anything worth collecting and may not even go after their assets, but even if they do, at worst it empties their bank account (which we presumed has less than 400 dollars in it).

Are you actually serious and would heat your house in winter to a temperature 5-15(!!) ℃ more¹ than you would cool it to during summer?

I mean - it can be enjoyable for short periods, to warm up/cool off, but why would you do that for extended periods, instead of going for a sauna or swimming? Do you wear coats inside during summer?

If you are comfortable at <18 ℃ and at >25 ℃ (humans are highly adaptable), then why go for the opposite of outside temperature? You are probably doing yourself a disservice, making the outside temperature way less tolerable (adaptation takes time), and the temperature shock can be dangerous for less resilient people.

¹ If you are in a high humidity area, the temperature is not the only factor - you need to get the humidity to acceptable levels, which is often done via AC/heating.

> Let's say I make hats. If I'm selling a hat with a Swastika, and I get a lot of sales for it, can I really say, "I'm not tacitly approving racism and neo-nazis, I just make hats. What I actually approve of, is making money without taking any responsibility for the social consequences of the choices I make to make money?"

Who are you making the hats for? If you are making replica SS uniforms that are used in films and TV then probably not.

In Thailand there isn't the historical baggage of the Swastika. When I was over there I saw "HFC" literally "Hitler Fried Chicken", I don't think they were neo-nazis. I think something got lost in translation.

> Or if I sell cigarettes, can I say, "I'm not tacitly approving of cancer, What I actually approve of, is making money without taking any responsibility for the health consequences of the choices I make to make money?"

The smoker is quite capable of making his own choices. I smoke a cigar from time and time but I don't chain smoke cigarettes. Lets take a less extreme example, when you are selling a pint of beer at the bar are you "tacitly" approving of alcoholism. Obviously not.

> I think that when you do a thing to make money, and it has consequences, you are tacitly saying that you approve of the consequences.

Not necessarily as we have seen.

OK, so this isn't really {become, F}, this is {run, F}.

The function F, is expected to return results and terminates, so it is no longer running (but, it could have spawned a process or otherwise changed the world state; Erlang is generous with respect to side effects)

I don't really understand the version number means in this case? You can only run functions with the same or greater versions than had previously been run?

I think you're somehow asking for this to be both synchronous, in the sense that the result of running the function is returned directly and asynchronous in that you'd like to be able to cancel it. If you want the return directly, I can't also have previously returned a cancellation id.

If you just want to run a function, and get the results back, that's not that hard; but before I write the code for that, I want to really be sure what you're asking for.

Anything that uses our recursive servers is monitored, and we can check against blacklists, either in real-time or after-the-fact through logging.

People are doing that anyway. By the time critical symptoms appear and you need to visit the ER, you have already been infectious and spreading the virus. Meanwhile the 80% of cases that are not critical won't drive people to even consider the ER (which is full of sick people with Coronavirus), and they will go about their day spreading the virus. As an example, see the rest of the world.
Sorry for channeling the dude here but that is just, like your opinion man.

I think many of the critical voices now are coming from the EU. We have data protection laws. The ISP can't just sell browsing data. That has been illegal since before we had data protection laws, that is actually legally the same as opening other people's letters and reading them. So ... different threat model over here.

I am always using the US-EN Firefox version because frankly why would I use translated software when I can understand and use the original.

I hope you can see how it might be of concert to me whether Mozilla decides to give my browsing data to Cloudflare, whom I have about as much reason to trust as GCHQ or the NSA.

I'm sorry, but I find the Calculator app woefully unimpressive.

I can't even type a simple expression with parenthesis. There's no RPN option. There isn't a "financial" setting (only scientific and programmer, for some reason). The list goes on; I'm sure I'm not alone on this one.

It is so, so, so basic it's essentially useless, I end up being forced to open Excel, run Python in the terminal, go on Wolfram Alpha or, worse yet (!!) grab pen and paper to perform basic math.

I know this is unrelated to UWP, but I'd rather they focus less on improving an UI that is inevitably trivial (little boxes with numbers arranged in a grid within a bigger box) and instead added some much needed features.

The fact that I am using a computer must be lost on whoever decided to green light this abomination as the default calculator in any OS ever, let alone one released in the 21st century.

I'm sorry, but people who claim "they've made the switch" just don't get it.

You don't really make a switch from being a night owl. I thought I'd made switches multiple times too:

* Taking early classes in college
* Deliberately cooling myself down and going to bed super early
* Getting a puppy that forced me to wake up super early

Every single method regressed to night-owl schedule within 2 months. Not to mention my productivity and learning ability took a nosedive during the periods I was waking up early.

This is over a period spanning 15 years, so it involves multiple stages of life as well.
They're not really a hack since javascript does support custom attributes. Jsx is not supported out of the box by javascript and jsx extends the syntax, so what does actually feel more of a hack?

```const element = <h1>Hello, world!</h1>;``` How is this less of a hack compared to vue's attributes?
That's the same logic that leads to putting sweeteners in every processed food item and the resulting epidemic of diabetes. What people reflexively want and what they actually need overlap to some degree, but there's a lot of money in trying to maximize that, to the detriment of the consumer.

> in most parts of the world people trust their local ISPs more than giant US corporations

On what is this assertion based on?

I'm part of this world and I'm not a US citizen. I do not trust my local ISP, because they log and report traffic to local security agencies. It's bening at this point, tracking illegal activities, but they can connect whatever I do with my real name and address.

If I were to guess, in most parts of this world people don't have freedom of speech and fear repercussions from their government for their online activity.

The profiling that US companies do for serving better ads is essentially a first world problem, and a pretty irrelevant one for most people.

Also if we had such deep mistrust in US companies, first of all we shouldn't be using devices and operating systems built by US companies.
Well I am new to US, had to buy renter's insurance; Geico and everybody offered for $20+ per month; but Lemonade quoted about $6. Almost similar coverage. Now for Car, Geico was most economical $86; Lemonade does not offer, Dealer said $125, Others were like $100-120.

I think as more startup companies enter insurance, prices are going to be better & more competitive.

N95 masks will also limit the spread from someone who is actually infected, too. So the masks will, when used correctly help limit all spread and I am not sure why you say "not really".

But I should add, the CDC only recommends face masks for the infected and limits recommendation of N95 respirators to healthcare providers and those in workplace settings.

I think this is a great idea. Similarly, we should stop putting bathrooms in our residences, and just have businesses where you can go to buy bathroom time. That way, you don't have to keep it clean on your own, or pay for it in your home (which would make the home cheaper). We can use smartphone apps to set up appointments to use these rented bathrooms. I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't want to adopt this.

I've been a night owl my entire life, have been unsuccessfully trying (or kind of trying) for years to shift my schedule to wake up earlier. Whenever I tell myself to go to bed early, I feel like I'm wasting an evening that I will not get back...I know it isn't really logical, but it's strong enough to derail the progress I make.

One approach that I've found successful (in bursts) is if I focus on getting to sleep at a reasonable time on Sunday night. This seems to naturally put me in a good groove for the rest of the week.
Yeah, most of my disposables I have 1 month+ already (Subscribe and Save is a godsend for things like TP, paper towels, shaving cream, razors, mouthwash, etc). Medicine/Masks/etc is something I don't have large stocks of but that will be rectified shortly.

I've noticed this with chess too. As a kid, I briefly developed an obsession with chess. The book I read through argued that if I simply followed a few basic rules religiously, I'd instantly be a 'better' player than many who maybe played a lot more, but didn't know about these rules.

And sure enough, when my obsession quickly waned, and without having played much chess at all, I found myself consistently winning from novices who had a lot more experience than I did. In hindsight, I suspect what happened is that they played a better game but were more likely to make catastrophic mistakes.

Of course, I suspect any player with any training probably applies these basic rules already, and would easily defeat me.
Honestly, in most scenarios, you kill the vm and let it restart with new code (just like you would in a kubernetes pod, and in fact using kubernetes pods with BEAM languages is also a valid strategy).

If you must keep some state preserved, there's even ways to do it without erlang's hot code reloading strategies, I would recommend watching Dan Azuma's fantastic video (stick around for the live demo): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLApFANtkHs

Winners of the Flutter Clock Contest
That's exactly what happened, and it all started with the damn ribbon BS in Office.

To me, the "advancement" of the human-computer interface came to a screeching halt at that time. People grok menus. Memorizing sequences of Mnemonic accelerators is natural when overlaid on a haptic path created by mouse movement/menu navigation.

Then you take everything and throw out the baby with the bath water by trying to put every past bit of functionality on screen at the same time when what one needs is to be able to set up a work bench quickly, and just do your work, and if necessary save said work bench state to return to later.

I've seen more and "better" advancements in UI design in exactly 1 place, in all the different software suites I use, and that is in IDEs. Ironically, the one place that programmers have to make due day in, day out.

It makes me wonder whether anyone who presides over these programs is actually proficient in the non-computing version of said task. A Typesetter/document composer for instance. Nothing about the modern interface leads me to believe that any actually invested individual is involved, and that the design was pushed by the need for someone at Microsoft to be seen as needed in order to change something.

Then again... Can"t judge 'em for that. We all want to be wanted.

I've been up writing code at night since I got my first computer at 8, I'm 42 now, don't remember much about my schedule before then.

Never could concentrate much during daytime, once my surroundings wake up my productivity goes down the drain.

One thing that works pretty well for me when I'm allowed to set my own schedule is taking a 2-3h snooze in the afternoon/early evening. Then I can go on and work until 3-4am and still get up early without feeling like a zombie.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to correct you as much as add color for other HN readers. So much happened in a very short period of time and I hope that people take away how much vision and strategy these people had at that time.

I think the point I'm really trying to make is that the Netscape team had a much richer vision of the web than what we use today. Before they built Netscape, Andreessen and Clark were considering building an online gaming platform. I'm sure you remember how big multimedia was back then.

If you look at the timeline, you can see where the were going. They started off with a focus on dominating the browser market, which they did in 4 months. In less than a year after their first release, they released the first version of an online platform. It added Java, JavaScript, and a plug-in architecture with standard plug-ins like Live3D so you could embed VRML into your HTML page. No one was even sure HTML wasn't going to be replaced by something better, so I have to imagine they were hedging their bets by adding three different ways to build on their platform.

If anything, I think your original comment reinforces that strategy. They knew there were a lot of C++ developers who wouldn't take to Java for whatever reason, so they offered a plug-in architecture for people who cared more about performance and experience than being cross-platform.

Had things gone differently (Microsoft not woken up), I can easily see Netscape creating a dominant internet platform that went beyond HTTP and viewing hyperlinked documents. They were already bundling email, website editors, conferencing, news clients, etc.

Depends:

If it is VERY obvious - then yes, since they will notice anyway, and can use it for points. I have known companies that intentionally hired blind programmer as it made the company look good.

Not obvious - then no. But when you start, it is good to make sure it is well documented, to prevent them from discriminating against you.
