And people wondered why Clojure is dying...

Somehow a language designed from scratch with all the purported wisdom of Lisp ended up with a nastier import solution than JavaScript, which had none out of the box for its first two decades of life, and then had to reconcile as many as 5 different module systems.
Exactly what I think is the best effective dev process!

Business/management don't like that because it means that they don't have control and so that they are not 'hierarchically superior'. But also showing that a lot of them have bullshit jobs not really required.

But if you look at the successful open source projects that are independent, most of the time they work like that!
Well PWM is probably easier to analyze mathematically. The harmonics produced are more predictable. Knowing min off-time and on-time so easily is helpful when designing circuits. It's also super easy to implement PWM in digital logic or software, it basically needs only timer and a comparator.
It's not particularly new, this is just some new work on how extensive moth pollination can be. Bees are most definitely not the only or "most important" pollinators. In an economic sense for the US the most important pollinator is technically the wind because we grow corn, and lots of plants are only pollinated by specific moths/flies/wasps. And the European honeybee in particular (the one we keep worrying about with colony collapse and everything) isn't even native to the US. Even among pollinator requiring crops, those things classically seen as being the domain of the bee, as much as 39% of flower visits are non-bee pollinators. [0]

Ask HN: Copy and Pasting from Stack Overflow?
There's a bit of advice out there that generally can be summed up as "Don't just copy and paste from Stack Overflow".

The idea being that it is dangerous to do so if you don't understand what the code is doing.

Obviously, you should understand what the code yo you write does. But I wonder, is a scenario where you copy and paste from Stack Overflow, the code works, and you do NOT know what the code does even likely?

Personally I find I always fiddle with any code I find on the internet, or anywhere, a bit anyway to figure out how it works AND to make it work for my given situation. Especially with Stack Overflow and JavaScript as the language has changed and SO just loves to mark things duplicate in favor of some many years old threads ... with jquery (but that's a different topic).

Has anyone had a situation where they (or a friend...) just copied and pasted from Stack Overflow, it worked enough to get used in production, but they didn't actually understand it and it came back to bite them?

But there are supply constraints, there is a finite amount of land to build on as well as a planning system and a cabal of builders banking land.

This is a bit of a tangent, but one should be careful with that path. Not all employers are 'evil' and have negative intentions for their employees. Think of an example such as the independently owned restaurant that cannot afford to pay employees high wages and their owners are not wealthy. Just as not all employees can be painted as untrustworthy and hostile, not all employers should be painted as untrustworthy and hostile.
The use of prior matches in guards is super useful for parsing TLV style payloads where you first match on a size/length field and then match on the value itself as that number of octets. Does anyone have any insight into how / when similar support will make its way into Elixir?
There is a huge difference between "the current administration practices corruption on a massive scale" and "no other administration has practiced or will practice corruption". (For example, your parent didn't mention Democrats at all.

For a while we pretty much only had UDK (Unreal 3). Unity sort of invented the idea of an omni-platform game engine that's affordable and accessible for indies. Then Unreal slightly shifted its strategy to compete with that rising market, and Crytek... jumped in too.

I think Unity is too valuable to low-medium end indies to go anywhere (you really don't need most of these new features if you aren't going for a photorealistic look anyway), but we could see a partitioning of the market as Unity takes over the low-mid and Unreal takes over the high-end. Unity actually no longer has the (partially) realtime global illumination they were so proud of just a couple years ago, because of licensing woes: https://blogs.unity3d.com/2019/07/03/enlighten-will-be-repla...
I've re-read your comment a few times now and I've failed to find any justification for your position.

I get that you believe building more houses will solve the issue, but I can't see where you've said why you think that or why I'm wrong here.

No, it won't solve it because it's a simplistic one-dimensional answer to a complex multifaceted economic problem. I've listed some of these complexities.

Would building housing be a component of some successful solution: highly likely. But it wouldn't even make up the majority of such a solution.
This style of writing where almost every sentence is its own line is weird to me. It's like writing in all caps -- if you emphasize every single point, then you emphasize none of them. Especially when it's a long post that takes up a bunch of space.

Reason React 0.8
The long awaited 0.8.0 release from Reason React is out of beta! This includes a lot of the niceties of writing React but in a very fast, type safe language.

If this is your first time hearing about Reason, watch a video from its creator (Jordan Walke, creator of React) to learn more:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fG_lyNuEAw&t=11s

Fun facts about Reason:

- exports TypeScript! If you have a TS project and looking for some extra speed & stability, you don't have to sacrifice type safety interop

- It powers all of Messenger.com. The team put out a case study where they went from ~10 bugs a week to less than 10 a quarter by switching to Reason

- It uses the npm / yarn ecosystem so you can use your favorite / current packages without looking for something new.
So, I'm definitely not against vanilla HTTP where appropriate, but here are three arguments for the "all must be encrypted, heretic!" side of things:

1. The vast majority of web developers/IT people/etc. aren't really knowledgeable enough to make the call whether something actually needs to be encrypted. Very smart developers have told me they weren't worried about security because their application didn't hold any sensitive data. Sometimes this was because they thought emails and/or passwords weren't sensitive data. I've also had very smart people tell me they weren't worried about security because nobody had any incentive to hack their server. But there is always incentive for bad people to hack a server: even if they can't ransomware you, they can host botnets or child pornography. Having seen situations like this enough, I'm no longer even convinced that even I am correct when I think security isn't necessary. Maybe you're qualified to make that call, but even then, evaluating the system may be harder than just adding security.[1]

2. Just because your system doesn't need HTTPS now, doesn't mean it never will. YAGNI conveniently doesn't specify whether "A" stands for "Are" or "Aren't". In my experience, most systems involving HTTP do eventually have a requirement that passes sensitive data over HTTP, and it would be all-too-easy to forget that channel wasn't encrypted.

3. Even if you don't need encryption for yourself, do it for everyone else who does need encryption. Before HTTPS was required in every browser, users would happily submit their passwords over completely unencrypted channels. Now, browsers will give big warnings that hopefully prevent users from doing this. Those warnings probably aren't necessary if, for example, you're submitting an anonymous comment to a Disqus conversation. But it's important not to normalize clicking past those warnings for nontechnical users, because if they click past those warnings to post an anonymoust Disqus comment, they'll click past them to submit a password. And in a more political sense, normalizing encryption for stuff where it isn't important protects encryption for stuff where it is. "If you are encrypting you must be hiding something bad" is a dangerous narrative which is pervasive in politics, and default-on encryption is one of the best tools against that.

[1] As an example of this, it appears that there are a few attack vectors in your own posts, which you either didn't think of or don't care about, but which I would very much care about as a user of your library catalog.

Is this documented somewhere as well?

> Another, more relevant side of this is that it's not going to be possible for people with web servers to just let them sit.

This problem goes far beyond just HTTPS, and here's a small example. I have a side-project, which is a website where I post versions of old arcade games I've created. Now I can go months without deploying any changes but despite that things just keep breaking from time to time.

Without digging through my GitHub issues here are three examples:

- Web audio support at different times in both mobile and desktop browsers (now fixed)

- Motion control support via accelerometer (now fixed)

- Full screen support (still not fixed, although bizarrely works fine on iOS which has no explicit full screen support but will enter full screen automatically when you reorient your device)

The fact that you can't simply deploy code and have any realistic expectation that it will continue to run without supervision or tweaking for even a few months is INCREDIBLY ANNOYING.

People need to stop tweaking APIs and the behaviour backing them, and breaking compatibility all the time.

Well said.

Somewhere along the line house-owners became endless cash-cows for bankers and got political support. I guess an asset-owning class is deemed a more stable reliable voter in this scenario. Renters are just so many fish in the sea.

Moreover, politicians advocated house ownership as a solution to an economy's woes. The mortgage-holders are tied in to life-long jobs (when jobs were for life) and continue plowing money into their asset endlessly. Kinda like buying the latest fashion of car year-after-year in a consumer driven economy, where just getting from A-to-B is no longer the real objective.

Now we are seeing a younger (wiser) generation who saw their parent's treadmill for what it truly was and are rejecting that path by opting for tiny homes or mobility etc.

Curiously this "must be on site" mentality seems to be ripe even in some companies that have many offices, and people are de facto remote relative to each other anyway. Getting a "you know, I'm not sure this remote thing can work" from an architect that spends about half of his time on the phone just makes you go "what?" Dude's so busy calling everywhere that he's difficult to get hold of, but "remote can't work"?

My experience has been that few people drive to the other side of the campus for a run of the mill chat or some random presentation. Unless it's in the same building, and unless it's something important, you just call, mail, chat, send office365 links, do skype presentations... you know, the remote stuff. So above a certain size, it's in the company's best interest to embrace remoteness anyway.

Quantifying Londoners fitness habits during the lockdown

Anecdotally, based on experience with shipping software with an annoying bug to Japanese consumers, the Japanese people are way more patient than Americans.

I worked at an American company that made utility software for DOS/Windows. A major Japanese distributor liked our stuff, and made a distribution deal with us. They also helped with localization, and suggested feature changes to better fit what Japanese consumers wanted. Later this expanded to where they would also suggest new products they wanted for Japan and we'd develop them.

One product under development was very rarely causing a system lockup during installation. By "lockup" I mean it appears completely dead. No mouse motion. No keys worked. Hitting "CAPS LOCK" would not even toggle the light on the keyboard. Hard reset seemed to be the only way out.

It was rare enough that we always saw the install attempt after that hard reset work.

We just could not figure out what was causing this. The Japanese distributor decided we should go ahead and release, and their tech support people would deal with any complaints.

So we released...and their tech support got a lot of calls. People were hitting it a lot more than we had seen in testing.

...except they were not calling to complain about their system locking up. No, they were calling to complain about a slow install.

Apparently, when it became completely unresponsive all you had to do was wait 20-25 hours and it would complete the install.

I cannot imagine any American consumer whose PC has become completely unresponsive going 20-25 hours without giving up and resetting the thing. Not only were there such people in Japan, there were a lot of them. We didn't get one complaint about a lockup--all of the many many people who called called about it taking around a day to finish.

(Oh, and the knowledge that it was not a complete lockup was enough of a clue to let us figure it out. It suggested it was some sort of timeout, not a lockup. Our product needed to know what optical drives were available, and it turned out that the way it scanned for them did not get alone well with one particular brand of optical drive controller card, which could trigger about an hour timeout per drive checked for. We switched to a much more cautious drive scan, and the problem went away).
I don’t think they generally ask permission....

Thank you! Memgraph has built-in BFS, DFS, and weighted-shortest path. These can leverage the query planning (use the details about data distribution to perform better).

Not exactly, but it feels kind of vampiric. I bought the house with sitting tenants a few years ago without really wanting to be a landlord, and they're still there (strictly speaking the people they sublet to are still there). They're apparently planning to move out soon but obviously everything's on hold for the moment.
FWIW, the reason all of the vertical elements in the C-64 font are two pixels wide is to compensate for raster blur on televisions that were common at the time.

If you made a vertical line only one pixel wide, on many televisions like the Panasonic I used it would be nearly impossible to see.

And while color monitors of the day were an improvement, they still weren't what we would consider acceptable today. I eventually upgraded to a Commodore CM-141, and single pixel vertical lines still weren't great.
The claim is not that every output has a unique input, which would not be correct, and seems to be what you are addressing.
