> Those abstractions are like the steering wheels and pedals for Haskell, not like the car's engine.

Agreed, but you also don't have to understand anything about the mechanics of the steering wheels and pedals to drive a car, only about when to use which. Monads and other scary-sounding terminology are the same. People really do know these patterns from other programming languages, and attaching a name might be scary, but it doesn't make them intrinsically harder. On the contrary, it makes it easier for people who want to peer into the theoretical internals to do so—though no one has to do it.
I think this is a change of the line between respect and approachability. By personalising the astronauts we make it easier for someone to aspire to be like these other, fellow human beings.

From what I've read and watched of the modern-era astronauts they are very keen to be inspirational to their successors and seem to have a more personable demeanour. I think this is a positive change and not so much a disrespect.

What really grinds my gears is science fiction that puts a group of people onboard some long space-faring mission where nobody is at all respectable, professional or suitable. I can believe warp drive, green aliens and Dyson spheres but not psychopaths and 18-year old children being put out to space to work. I have near-yelled at my screen more than once saying "You don't deserve to be there, you are a discredit!" :-)
I grew up with one of these, and then lived for several years with another (by way of a roommate). These things inevitably revert to one of two failure modes:

1) The toast does not go down, despite banging the toast up and down like a basketball.

2) The toast does not come up, so you have to dig it out with a knife or a fork.

There's an adjuster screw for #1, but it's a finicky analog adjustment. I already pick banjo, I don't want to have to retune my toaster on the same schedule.

#2 is probably just due to the undersized holes and necessarily weak spring action.

> SpaceX can achieve much higher profit margins by reusing rockets

What I've always heard is the legacy defense contractors are used to cost-plus contracts where you don't make bigger profits by reducing costs. They sometimes don't adapt well to firm-fixed-price contracts because changing the organizational culture takes ages. And also the reality is that they can keep raking in money anyway -- Boeing is in fact collecting more cash than SpaceX, so it's not even clear the incentives have changed that much.

I promise I'm not saying this to troll or hate on you: I honestly see Elon falling into the genre of "trolling" that's really just the same kind of shitposting, mockery, and thinly veiled hatred that, in my opinion, is destroying western society. So, while his achievements are huge, when people lavish isolated unqualified worship on the person, Elon Musk, nowadays it's genuinely hard to give them the benefit of the doubt in regards to what they know they are communicating by doing that.
Bear in mind SpaceX is working hard on making Falcon and Dragon obsolete. Starship will have a larger payload than the shuttle and drop costs quite a bit more.

They'll have to stop blowing them up, but at two prototypes per month I think they'll make rapid progress.
The criticism of Sweden’s model, pointing to the slightly higher death toll than other countries, assumes that all those lives must have been saved through lockdowns. But is to institute strict lockdown measures for the sake of those elderly victims, effectively not to claim that that 1% or less of the population should be able to dictate the lifestyles of the rest of the population? If the median age of death is well over 70 with multiple comorbidities, I’m not sure there is a real democratic mandate (among a population familiar with the hard statistics) for shutting down society so drastically that it prevents, for example, young people from doing their ordinary socializing and courtship rituals.

Yes, Sweden could have done more to protect care homes, but I don’t find its eschewing of a lockdown to be objectionable.

As for this bit in the article. “‘We usually have tourists coming to Sweden in the summer,’ Isaksson says. ‘Who the heck is going to come to Sweden? No one wants to come to Sweden’” On some outdoors forums I participate in, people under lockdown often expressed envy of members from Sweden who were free to trek or cycle all this time, and some younger people reasonably unconcerned with COVID-19 are now keen to see that country’s impressive nature for themselves as soon as borders reopen.

There's also no guarantee the object won't be moved elsewhere, including into a context which never gets freed (for example, you can construct mem::forget using entirely safe code by forming a cycle of reference-counted boxes).

The problem is not "aligning the core systems". The problem is that each of those systems has its own independent government and tries to defend first and foremost its own interests against the other countries in the union. The fact that France, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, etc. have their own foreign ministers, their own defense ministers (and armies) and so on is the issue. Or the fact that the US government can address its requests to a Dutch minister, or a French minister. Someone who can't reply "oh yes? Then we'll have that German or Irish industry stop importing from you. And forget about the participation of the whole EU army in any of your present and future aggressions around the world".
But less severe restrictions apply to other things deemed "essential" or that require physical attendance. And that's the crux of the issue. The government can't declare churches "non-essential" and close them.
This is "enterprise".

Danish Study: We Don’t Know How Well Antidepressants Work’ [pdf]
This classic toaster design was not without it's deficiencies. The raising mechanism was far too slow and the bimetallic strip had a tendency to get blocked with crumbs, etc., causing unexpectedly variable toasting. There is certainly some elegant engineering on display, but most people would probably not want to deal with this toaster on a daily basis.

That being said, today's toasters have their own problems. Most simply aren't built to last. My previous toaster had a mechanical lever to lower the toast and engage the heating elements, latched down with a timed release with a nice digital display. The timer was, unfortunately, a relatively cheap part that was fried one day, likely by heat or a voltage spike. After that happened, the toaster would only toast if you held the lever down.

I do get the feeling that a lot of people are starting to place more and more value on reliability. Most of us don't want appliances that randomly fail after a year or two. The trouble is that it's bloody hard to tell if a given "premium" toaster with "excellent build quality" has an Achilles heel like the timer in my departed toaster. You just can't tell if a toaster will last based on its price, marketing buzz-words, heft, etc..

To manufacturer's, the trick seems to be to keep customers coming back without taking them out of the market with a product that simply lasts. Their ideal toaster is one that reviewers will say is "built like a tank" and "should last generations", but has a hidden flaw that bricks it after a couple of years.

> Not really open

Not many people still consider non-copyleft open source licenses not "open" (even the FSF disagrees on the need for copyleft to be considered libre) and MIT, BSD, and Apache 2.0 in particular are widely considered proper open source, so I think you just mean "Not really copyleft", which, sure.

As a Brit that sometimes finds USA patriotism a little excessive, I have to admit that I grant them an exception when it comes to feats like spaceflight. USA! USA!
You are right, I indeed didn't know it was that common.

But still, in a world where languages and runtimes are also judged by their ability to run in lambda/serverless setups, I'd think this practice will start being obsolete, wouldn't you think?

(What I mean is that I imagine that any serverless function that runs in severely constrained and measured environments like the AWS Lambda would gain a significant edge over the competition if it did an eager cleanup. Should allow more of them to work in parallel?)
> a sort of social-distancing lite where most businesses, including schools, stay open

> The Swedish model is often described as a plan to develop herd immunity, wherein a large enough portion of the population has developed resistance to an infection,

Not true. I don't know how many times this has been denied by the government. The plan is not, ans have never been herd immunity. The government does not even believe it is possible to achieve that.

I could care less about their personal assessment of risk, what I care about is that they go on to put other people at risk through these shenanigans. Someone willing to go to a crowded church during a pandemic intersects highly with people willing to go into other public spaces during a pandemic. I don't want to be put at risk because of their stupidity. They're not just making decisions that effect themselves.

Plug for my friend’s “start-up”/company that I’ve used to find online piano teachers to great success, but they also do vocals as well as many other instruments: ToneRow.com.

She is a piano prof at Juilliard and I believe runs one of their startup/business courses, so she’s put a lot of careful thought into this (but I’m sure would appreciate feedback).

Disclosure: I am completely unaffiliated with her company, but have been using it during this period of SIP. If you have any questions or feedback about TR, feel free to reach out.

Programming before the internet required tenacy/grit. You had not Stack Exchange sites and no Google to find solutions to known problems, you had to solve everything yourself. You could visit a friend and show your code, usually as print-out or loading it from a floppy disk.
You'd learn programming by reading a book, by subscribing magazones and by hanging out with people that can programm better than you.

Software would be distributed in print magazines for you to key in, either in a language like BASIC or Turbo Pascal, or in many pages of hexadecimal numbers that represent the binary executible (sometimes with a check sum, sometimes without).
> If India suddenly decides to implement some sort of DST, or make any other changes to the definition to IST, the UTC value you stored is now wrong.

It is not wrong. When timezones change, the database that contains that info is updated - but it still retains information about historical rules, precisely so that earlier dates can still be converted reliably.

On the other hand, if you use local times, then you are not able to distinguish between pre- and post-clock change, when the same time repeats twice.

That is the purpose of this question. Google engineers are frequently in the news for protesting company policies, which results in actual company changes, but there is never anything from Facebook. I am trying to get a broad sample of thoughts on current and former Facebook employees so I can understand if it is due to company culture, the hiring process selects for likeminded people, or if there are disagreements but no one airs their dirty laundry.
I'm not sure its fair to say it defeats that use case. It only defeats that use case if you need RAII. Furthermore, in my experience, an arena is most useful when you allocate lots of small objects which is the least likely to case to need RAII.
I really like the concept here, but it shows a very limited amount of info about each movie. Maybe if I could click on the card to expand more details (maybe sourced from imdb or something) this would be a lot more helpful.

Also, does this take into account previous decisions to show movies that are more like the ones that I've already liked?
I think your parent poster's point was that previously the IP was owned by NASA. The companies contracted to build Apollo or the Space Shuttle was unable to reuse the IP to sell rides to another company or fly private citizens, nor could they bundle and sell the IP.

SpaceX owns the Crew Dragon IP and tooling, and they can sell flights to private citizens - in fact I believe they said today that they are contracted with Space Ventures to fly 4 people next year. Previously Space Ventures could only buy from the Russians.
>Under this method, pigs at the company’s rural Grundy County facility are being “depopulated,” using the industry’s jargon, by sealing off all airways to their barns and inserting steam into them, intensifying the heat and humidity inside and leaving them to die overnight. Most pigs — though not all — die after hours of suffering from a combination of being suffocated and roasted to death. The recordings obtained by The Intercept include audio of the piercing cries of pigs as they succumb. The recordings also show that some pigs manage to survive the ordeal — but, on the morning after, Iowa Select dispatches armed workers to enter the barn to survey the mound of pig corpses for any lingering signs of life, and then use their bolt guns to extinguish any survivors.

Truly disturbing. Increasing cruelty and suffering in order to minimize monetary loss of profits.

Honestly... it's complicated. As I understand it, African-American is one of the more recent ways of saying (with the intent of being polite) that someone is a black skinned and ethnically African and is American.

The term was not meant to extend to corner cases like mine - I'm white, but one of my ancestors grew up on the African continent in an island in the Atlantic and spoke Portuguese.

I suspect that this term will fall out of favor soon and be replaced by another.
Technically, military rockets were not a thing that existed at the time of the US war for independence. The phrase "the rocket's red glare" refers to Congreve rockets, which were invented in the 19th century following the introduction of rockets into modern military use in India at the end of the 18th century.

Some times it does not make sense to associate a time component to a date, just because it happens on a day, not at a certain time.

For example, in a lot of countries, Labor Day is on May 1, Christmas on Dec 25. These do not happen at a certain time, and there is no timezone to be associated with these events.

If I'm requesting some user's birthday, I'm going to store it as a date. I don't have a time component. I don't know the time zone. In some cases, dates are just dates ...

> Real life is infinitely more complex

As somebody who has conducted lawful investigations I am fully aware. In a real life investigation where the outcome can bring legal sanctions that destroys a person's life or career the opinion of the investigator has weight, but that opinion is irrelevant without evidence to connect the dots. A conspiracy theory will sink the credibility of the investigation. What matters is what you can prove and what the attorney finds is legally qualified.

As I should.
That’s pretty dope.
Singing is not something that someone teaches you, it's just something you do because you're inspired to in the moment.

You need to just sing. Sing along with your favourite songs, sing with heart.

Then ... you may either want to get a bit of coaching, possibly sing with a choir.

Most singers were really quite good before they had formal coaching, and many have never had any coaching at all.

One of the more challenging things is pitch ... some people sing out of tune, have no idea, and it sounds bad. Oddly, this is something a 'voice coach' will have difficulty fixing. This tends to be something that people 'have' or they 'don't' - it can be learned surely, but it's oddly not a 'singing specific' issue. Playing around on a piano, singing the notes, trying to get them to match. So if you have a pitch problem, it will be a separate can of worms, but the more musical exposure you have, via anything, the better you'll get.
No, what I said is exactly what I meant. Some countries will accept the gutting of certain domestic industries because it doesn't threaten national security interests or strategic goals.
