I'm glad you're not trying to be a confrontational jerk. I'm all for disagreeing politely.

The project in which I worked on a C++-to-C translator didn't call it a compiler, it called it a source-to-source translator. It was a CS project in a CS department funded by the NSF. I have read the Dragon Book, and would be surprised if the authors would consider an interpreter, assembler, or a linker to be a compiler.

So yeah. I don't expect you to agree with my opinion, but I do appreciate it that you're trying to avoid being confrontational jerk.

You're definitely right, although a day of reply-time is pretty good by internet standards. Back when I used Facebook, I noticed that the only way for a comment to get noticed was if it was added in the first 10 - 20 minutes of a post's lifetime. Once an hour has elapsed, anything you write will probably be never seen by anyone. This is the big problem with online communication; it's reduced everything to small tidbits that nobody has time to have nuanced discussions about. You've got to be quick and to the point, or you're out.
Ah I see, thank you for the clarification
I know what you mean, I get that skeuomorphic was overdone in a lot of places but, the remedy may have been worse than the disease since we have had such regression in UI design that it now looks somewhat like high-dpi versions of text user interface graphical blue blocks everywhere.

This is the difference between a library and a framework/project.

For example, there's a great Raft library for Go [1] that any project can use to implement distributed consensus without a separate running program. I find this to be a better approach with the same collective development and community testing advantages but without requiring more operational overhead.

Thank you for the examples. I've been in perl too long where a lot of good practice is just a suggestion and not enforced. In particular private vs protected (which is what I was thinking of regarding accessing internals) doesn't really exist.

I tend to lean towards inheritance for functional extensions and composition for everything else, but there are so many ways to skin an OO cat.
> Other oddities " Richmond Thomason notes that Montague saw grammar as a branch of mathematics and not (as in Chomsky) of psychology". Pretty sure Chomsky's hierarchy of grammars, types 3 to 0, are considered by him as mathematical, not psychological.

I would suggest looking up Chomsky and mentalism. This is a core feature of his theory. Early in his career Chomsky did have interesting things to say about formal language theory and you're right that Chomsky would not consider regular languages or the grammar of Python, for instance, to be psychological but this isn't the grammar that the author is concerned with here.

I don't know that it's even RAS syndrome.

Some machines have 'machine' in their name, most don't. A milling machine, yes, but who says lathe machine?

ATM machine just sounds weird to me. The fact that the "M" stands for machine doesn't help but it's not decisive.

That's what I mean by redundant: it's like saying spoon utensil.
Aka, offering their employees stable work and pay.
This is a pretty nifty piece of work. Not really a oneliner if it requires a 1/4 page of code, but I'll let it slide :)

I do like the concept of keeping I/O in a more traditional language and the matrix/array code in something closer to APL.
If all you wanted out of university was education the average adjunct makes $3,000 per class per semester. So for Oxbridge tutorial style seminars you could get five people together, pay $15,000 to an under employed PhD or doctoral student and have five hours of seminars a week for a semester. This model wouldn’t work for anything with labs or much in the way of practical exercises but it’d be perfect for most of the Arts and Social Sciences. If you want college credit for it you can even set it up through Joshua Broggi’s Woolf University[1]. Or if you don’t care about that you can do it through outschool[2] for ease of discoverability and so someone else handles getting paid.

Your argument is a logical fallacy. Car accidents are not contagious.
Thanks for this. I did spend a lot of time pondering over whether I wanted to use the word "compiler" or "interpreter," but in the end it was my CS students who encouraged me to use the term that more people would recognize than the one that is technically more accurate.

This is my first time sharing one of my tutorials on HN so I am still feeling out where I will slip and where I can slide.

It still amazes me that the US, with all its red light cameras, doesn't adopt the European speed cameras that create a lot of tickets (at significant fines) for relatively minor speeding infractions.

Top Gear did a test years ago to see just how fast you would need to go to defeat a speed camera, and it was well beyond what the Cannonballers would be running. You just can't fool a high speed camera easily. Of course, you can black out your drivers license, but you'll still risk the human patrols.

On the other hand, if the roads are empty, and nobody gets hurt... who cares! Film it, please.
The reality is that you rarely want to doA and doB concurrently, so optimizing syntax for that case is not useful, whereas you want to be able to call functions without having to worry about their color all the time, where "all the time" here is typically >1 time per function.

Many of you are perhaps scratching your head and going "What? But of course I concurrently do multiple things all the time!" But this is one of those cases where you grossly overestimate the frequency of exceptions precisely because they are exceptions, and so they stick out in your mind [1]. If you go check your code, I guarantee that either A: you are working in a rare and very stereotypical case not common to most code or B: you have huge swathes of promise code that just chains a whole bunch of "then"s together, or you await virtually every promise immediately, or whatever the equivalent is in your particular environment. You most assuredly are not doing something fancy with promises more than one time per function on average.

This connects with academic work that has showed that in real code, there is typically much less "implicit parallelism" in our programs than people intuitively think. (Including me, even after reading such work.) Even if you write a system to automatically go into your code and systematically finds all the places you accidentally specified "doA" and "doB" as sequential when they could have been parallel, it turns out you don't actually get much.

[1]: I have found this is a common issue in a lot of programmer architecture astronaut work; optimizing not for the truly most common case, but for the case that sticks out most in your mind, which is often very much not the most common case at all, because the common case rapidly ceases to be memorable. I've done my fair share of pet projects like that.
Using the other rationale, driving puts others at risk and we shouldn't be in the road until driving is perfectly safe.
Why would you not run your own Jitsi server if you're handling sensitive data? (also, the company behind it is easy enough to look up...)
to be fair. psql is not only available everywhere, but with a well customized .psqlrc file you can really get that tool to do what you want it to do.

On rare occasions I still need a GUI tool to explore a database because GUI definitely wins during the exploration phase by a lot.

Ironically enough for report writing I use metabase web ui. it serves most purposes I need from it.
I just don't think there's ever going to be a platform that won't be at risk of being corrupted or shut down. If you care about control of your own blog, host it yourself. I realize not everyone can do this, but it's getting easier and easier. With static site generators and services like Netlify, it's practically free too.

>> The illegal act is arbitrarily shutting down the ability to earn a livelihood.

That would be illegal, but isn't what is happening. An outright ban on all work would certainly be unconstitutional (life liberty, pursuit of happiness etc). But temporarily shutting down a business because of a virus, safety issues, lack of insurance, pollution worries, failure to pay taxes, inadequate lighting in the parking lots, to preserve a crime scene, or because the road out front needs work ... local governments close businesses all the time. So long as the reason is reasonable and the shutdown is temporary the courts will find it acceptable.

If you want to win in court, disobeying a law is generally not the best path. Musk isn't Rosa Parks. Musk doesn't have to be arrested before he can challenge the law in court. By acting like this he isn't helping his case(s). I'm sure his lawyers are pulling their hair out.

Politically, Musk is shooting himself in the foot. What if the local health department says that automotive factory workers must stay 10feet away from each other, all get respirators, get tested twice a day, and must take a month of covid safety training? Those will all be "reasonable" in the eyes of any court. That they would also kill any chance of Tesla turning a profit is political consequence of disobeying previous health orders.

For me purple and yellow is pretty hard to look at.
For much of my younger life, my morning commutes in Texas were in the 100-125mph range. If you knew where to look, and you didn't accidentally pass a cop. you were fine. So basically, if you get caught by a human, it's because you took a risk by running through a blind area at high speed. You don't do that more than one time in your life unless you are stupid or have the right contacts to help you keep your license.
Is this a constitutional right, or just a matter of general individual liberty? Because if it's a matter of individual liberty, I think we can sacrifice some of those for the time being for the greater good of society.
I think it’d be more concerning if this wasn’t the case...
I don't see anything common in structure between postfix `unless` and examples of garden-path sentences, which seem to be based on word ambiguity. Nothing is ambiguous in e.g. `print(x) unless x != 0`. Although admittedly without syntax highlighting, conditionality it's less obvious.
This is why it says one statement, not one line.

I've written single-statement argument parsers that take up most of a page of code.

I like this because I've barely written more Ruby than APL (none of the latter) but it's perfectly legible to me.

I respect the APL family and think the notation-as-a-tool-of-thought camp has a lot going for it. I'm just illiterate in that language.
Hi Doreen, Happy to see your new effort! Have you ever communicated with Johnny Sanfelippo (https://granolashotgun.com). You two have a similar voice and some overlap in perspective. I suspect you’d find his work interesting (if you haven’t already).

Cheers!
I definitely agree with you that they are dangerous monopolies, I hope I didn't come across as defending them.

I think the overall point though is that both the telecom and search engine market experience the network effect. In a telecom's case, the effect is more literal. For search engines, they increase in value as they can collect data on more and more users (which increases the value of the search engine to the users and the cycle continues). Saying that there are dozens of alternatives to me is like saying there are dozens of alternatives to Facebook. There are, but my Grandma isn't on them so do I really care?

I think that the network effect is really hard to regulate around effectively. Just look at Bell. the resulting companies from the Bell antitrust case are the same companies we are discussing as having monopolies on internet access. I absolutely agree that we have an issue, but I just don't know of a solution.
Shutting any specific sector down is pretty arbitrary. Sure Tesla brands themselves as 'luxury' but at the end of the day the people who own cars generally own them because they are essential. Every car produced is one more car on the road, no matter how much the owner pays.

Mine is framed in 70x35mm pine, and built from formwork plywood (formply), which is 17mm thick. The holds attach with 3/8th inch bolts that go into t-nuts in the back. I still need to give the formply a bit of a sand and put a non-slip coating on it, as the holds can rotate if I've not recently tightened them.
I think it lives on in big platforms like Reddit, but I agree that it used to be far more prevalent on the net than it is.

Youtube is a good example. It used to be so fun to just throw up videos on the internet, without caring how far they would really go. I definitely think there are great content creators on it nowadays and I'm glad that they're being paid for their hard work, but it still feels like we've lost something.

Pulsar is half baked with limited number of half baked clients even for major languages. Kafka instead is a bulletproof solution with tons of clients in any flavor, with instruments to detect issues, alert about them. Don't even compare them.
Do they directly say that they are using license plate reading? I find it far more likely that they are using the OPTICOM GPS solution which, in hybrid with OPTICOM IR, solves the same problem using cooperative radio equipment in emergency vehicles. Reporting on received IR preemption with no matching radio communication is an advertised feature of this system, whereas performing ALPR at the range and conditions of lane occupancy cameras is still largely experimental. ALPR virtually requires IR illumination, while lane occupancy cameras have no illuminators and are usually monochrome.
Sounds like this is much more about organized labor trying to act like a mafia than it is about Musk; this is just a convenient excuse. They oppose the funding because it's nonunion.
The only problem is the government infringing individual rights by shutting down companies.

1. Agents allocate their own scarce resources.

2. Agents make subjective assessments of Covid-related work risks.

3. Agents who previously preferred saving to consumption are less constrained.

Nothing to see here.
It's uncertain whether the CA laws / orders are themselves illegal or unconstitutional. In an emergency setting like this, you have both new "rules" that are illegal, and some legal rules that are just being violated without prosecution.

I would say locking down the country violates our rights to liberty and also the pursuit of happiness.
This only applies is you speak about your own life.

Once you speak about someone else's — no, life is the most precious part you need to preserve. The reason is simple: any material things can be replaced, but a life, once stopped, cannot be reinstated.

The trouble with deep economy shutdown, though, is that it becomes a trolley problem: do you want to save some more lives today at the risk of having more people die later because of the consequences? I think this is where the war mentality should kick in: we need to fight and have our commanders risk our lives, so that the other people we care about would live. It's not that bad yet, though, except for the medical personnel.
They don't send kits to everyone who uses the website, and they ask "do you have symptoms?" in advance of asking if you want to be tested. Certainly there is some self-selection bias in using the website at all. That would also be true if they did not provide results. Regardless, it has nothing to do with the TFA and the FDA's actions.

To be honest that problem exists for essentially any software that auto-updates.

You just have to hope that the built-in integrity checking (if any) works and is effective.

That's why I like software distribution methodologies that rely purely on signing to verify authenticity, rather than simply the location that it was downloaded from. I can technically use any old dodgy Apt mirror that I want, as long as I only accept packages signed by trusted keys.

As a side note, it's shocking how many software providers say that their downloads are 'integrity checked' just because they're served over HTTPS.
