How to Ask This Questions When Building a Product
Realistically, most people can't and/or shouldn't do this by building a business or working at a startup. Both of these are very risky and won't generally accomplish what I think the parent comment implies. Instead, the more reliable way is to invest as much of your income as you reasonably can in securities like stocks and bonds so that over time you are indeed making money doing nothing. Also, if your company offers stock options, opt for those if you think the company is going to do well in the future.

Same goes for their attitude towards programming languages. How dare you propose a language that I can't read without studying / become productive with in a weekend. How dare you propose using characters that can't be written without an IME on a US-ASCII keyboard.

I find it quite disappointing.

Further, the breakdown of revenue shares across channels is by far the best I’ve ever seen. Extremely clear, excellent use of graphs + colour.

Sidenote: does anyone know how to deal with a possibly malicious review on amazon listings? Someone copy pasted the same one star review on each of my books. I contacted

For me the keyboard will sometimes not load properly. The keyboard just shows up as an empty pane. And that's a sign that my iPad is going to be all grindy and slow until I reboot it.

Recently moved from android to an iPhone. The one that gets me while typing: I can’t tap and place the cursor in the middle of a word! Say you mistype a word, you cannot edit that word. You have to delete the entire word or tap and hold to get highlighting and then drag the highlight together to cover one letter on the word and then you can delete and get your cursor in the middle of the word. Insane.
I think the blame lies with those who fail to understand that you cannot compare the "culture" of an ecosystem the size of a university with the "culture" of an ecosystem the size of the country that contains it, and several others like it. Go to a Java shop that does robot control, sensor fusion, simulation, formal methods or spacecraft orbits, and I guarantee you that you'll find coworkers that are open to adapt and learn new things, things that are probably far more important, and interesting, than typeclasses and lenses.

Inaccessible to who exactly?
Correct. To put it another way: he is choosing this word because he is arguing that those in power (neoliberals) view common people as unsophisticated rabble who cannot and should not be making important decisions. It is not the author's view, but one emblematic of the very target of his criticism.

Coded language attempts to convey ideas through subtext. By doing so it’s reducing the carrying capacity of the information channel and lets authors pad words without adding meaning.

So what? The headline is dumb. Nothing wrong with pointing that out and saying why.

The fact that you say you read the article and this attack was your best comment... well I’d say one of these comments is basically worthless and it’s not the guy who pointed out the problem with the title.

Furthermore, a lot of people go to the comments first for a variety of reasons. Nothing wrong with that either.

I'm curious why you chose json as apposed to just working directly within SVG, or perhaps using a template language or some other DSL.

US already has 20k deaths and only 500k confirmed infections. Not all of those infections have had an outcome and not all infected have been confirmed so it's hard to do an exact calculation but based on that data more than a million deaths is very likely. So yeah, it's worth it.

This is irrelevant to the individual. The cycle already exists.

Yes, I'm being slightly facetious. But the possibility of a creating a money-making asset that is unpegged from a 40 hour work week is very real.

Of course there's still work to do but the work is invested in an asset that you own rather than being rented out to an employer. This makes all the difference.
Yes, and that's why a simple language is always preferrable to Java. It doesn't matter if a student has previous exposure to programming languages if this language can be taught in about two or three weeks worth of class.
Here's the paragraph that's making everyone mad:

>Like the student and other forms of personal debt that prepare undergraduates to say two words—“Yes, boss”—the ideal of the entrepreneurial self serves a fundamentally disciplinary function: reinforcing the precarious nature of work in today’s digitalized, low-wage, precariously employed, and increasingly automated capitalism, one in which you are casually expendable and which places a premium on everlasting metamorphosis: upgrade your skills, your profile, your resume. But don’t worry, complain, or God help you, call a union: losing your job or seeing your skill set rendered obsolescent is an opportunity for “growth,” creativity, empowerment. When your own exploitation can be recast as a project rather than a problem—a source of fulfillment rather than an instance of injustice—then solidarity with others can be vilified as conformism, the herd instinct of normies, the last refuge of losers and mediocrities.
I love the drive in, but in a time of pandemic I don’t understand how the common resources like restrooms and food could be considered safe. It seems like a place at high risk for transmission between the hundreds of patrons that use them each night.
Show HN: License key verification tool written in Go
Look at the thousands of people who learned Haskell and then also felt inspired to write a monad tutorial and publish it on the internet. Your search engine will help to see just how many there are.

Contrast with the number of useful applications you can actually install and run that are for some purpose that is not programming.

In fact there are more Haskell textbooks you can read than haskell programs you can install (excluding programs for programming - because that's some pyramid scheme vibe there).

This tells us something, I didn't even suggest what it tells us. What it suggests to you is what you thought of.

And fwiw imho pandoc is extremely useful! And Haskell is great fun and worth your time to learn!

What have you written in haskell that we can use?

It’s coded only in the sense that you have to know what the words mean to understand what the author is saying. Any piece of writing is “coded” in that sense. Choosing to write in a plodding, completely literal style also conveys a subtext.

I'm not sure why you refer to “padding”. “Hoi polloi” is just as concise as any of its less flavorful synomyms (e.g. “common people”). The use of this phrase actually makes the piece more concise, as it removes the need to explicitly indicate the (already fairly obvious) attitudes of the upper classes to the people below them. Some things are significant enough to be worth indicating but not important enough to be worth mentioning.

If you aren’t familiar with “hoi polloi” (and again, it's not actually a very obscure phrase at all!), it takes a few seconds to look it up in a dictionary.

There isn't anything unusual about professional programmers having a degree in maths or physics rather than CS. At least in my experience it was pretty close to an equal split.

Interesting. When I lived in Germany you could go to university if you had an Abitur by virtue of having attended a normal Gymnasium (grammar school), by attending an Aufbaugymnasium after graduating Realschule or Hauptschule and getting an Abitur that way or by completing an apprenticeship and then going to university.

When were those other routes to university closed off?

In an open space (such as a supermarket carpark) the Bluetooth LE range could easily be 10-20 meters. So one person standing in the queue could potentially be considered a contact of the 5+ people in front of them plus the 5+ people behind them.

If you're not prepared to test all of those people (and potentially multiple times) then what action should the potential contacts take? Should they all isolate themselves for 14 days because they were in the same carpark as a confirmed case for a few minutes?

> “given a bit sequence A, is it an optimal program?”

> Kolmogorov complexity of a given program.

You seem fundamentally confused about the objects of study of information theory. They're not programs, they're e.g. strings of symbols. We measure by the information content of those strings based on likelihood / programs. Information theory asks "given some bit sequence A, how much information is in it?" not "is it an optimal program?" - instead we measure the information in it by constructing or otherwise proving facts about programs that generate or predict it. We talk about Kolmogorov complexity of strings (/ signals / states / whatever) as measured by programs, not Kolmogorov complexity of programs themselves.

Obviously programs are also themselves representable strings of symbols, and this is why we find the usual suspects of self-reference paradoxes in IT. But that doesn't mean the measure does not exist, or that it's not possible to find in lots of interesting, easily-computable cases. It's a bit like handing me a ruler and asking me how long it is - sure, if I don't trust any ruler I'll have a hard time measuring it. But I don't have to trust that specific ruler to do so, and the fact it's a device used for measuring itself is completely incidental to my measuring of it.

You say it doesn't make sense. I raise to you, enterprise software.

To be a little more pedantic, yes, you are correct. There is no "the" culture. There are a variety of cultures. My hypothesis is there is a predominant culture within Java itself, closely tied to the premise of making software developers as cheap and risk-free as possible. Java made it incredibly easy to at least have a net gain on productivity compared to its competitors at the time, along with the other benefits it has always touted ("free", write once). This attracted tons of people who would at best be average programmers, settling in said enterprise companies, and slowly got promoted all the way to the top. Those people all spent years on the basic OOP/design-patterns/noun-based methods-style programming, which produced the atrocities of AbstractFactoryFactory patterns people dread to hear, and are now actively fighting changes. Partially because, justifiably, they are afraid the code requires a higher skill level to understand than the average guy on the local market has. Partially because they are so far from the nitty-bitty code process, they only do code review, make architecture designs or have technical discussions and analysis taking up the majority of their time. Partially, because that's the way they learned it, and people are stubborn and set in their ways. In turn, the next generation may be tutored to be just the same, the big money is still being paid, and nothing changes because "this is the way we did it, this is the way we guarantee money, so this is the way we will continue to do it", or progress goes at a snail's pace. Not only is there a lack of financial incentive, you're fighting the existing, pre-dominant culture and still trying to make things easy to understand for certain types of people.

At the very least, I see this attitude a lot in Europe. Emphasis on memorizing / knowing concepts that, in reality, aren't that hard (e.g. design patterns, micro services, dependency injection), to the point where we even have internal recruiters reject you for not citing keywords from the dictionary or knowing itty-bitty details about Java which you'll never see in practice. Loads of people with zero programming affinity coming into an enterprise job, often Java, after a short bootcamp. Most of these guys wouldn't begin to imagine the idea of a function being treated like a variable, or the concept of lambda functions.

And frankly, I just can't get myself to care for differentiating between Java sub-cultures at that point. If I spent time in them outside work, I'd just get annoyed not being able to use those cool, productive features at work, spend weeks searching for a job I'm unlikely to get just to go back to writing ancient Java code again for Bob to understand because he can't grasp var. If I don't, my only exposure is the Java culture at enterprises, which is likely to be the same given the statement of the parent of my first comment (your comment). Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
