It really depends. On the continuum of "I don't care about privacy" to "borderline paranoid", there's certainly a middle ground of "I don't trust Google but do trust DDG to not record every keystroke I send and add it to my profile forever" that would be happy to enable autocomplete if it was going to a search engine with a meaningful privacy stance.
> Nowadays, the Haskell IDE engine is good enough for general use.

Sadly I am unconvinced of this. If it were true, there would not be an immediate and significant push to make `haskell-language-server`.

Having tried many times to get `hie` working, I can say that it's a pain in the bum.

Suppose I have 12 projects, one made every month for the last year. Each of these 12 will be using a different stack resolver, possibly with different ghc versions. As a result, I will need to compile and use up to twelve different versions of hie, and make sure that the correct one is on my $PATH depending on which project I have open.
Another +1 recommendation for the book and related videos. While it has not been a silver bullet (nothing is), it has given me a lot of helpful tools to improve my designs. The book does a good job of filling the "design for engineers" gap that I have observed while trying to find good resources on web design.
One additional pain point for me is the number of symbolic operators. It’s hard to search for what some of them do, and even harder to have a conversation with a coworker when half your code is things like <$> or >>=.
how the fold in came to be an every issue feature is kinda a fun story:

From his 95th birthday article (gothamist). It has a nice video too:

https://gothamist.com/arts-entertainment/hanging-with-al-jaf...

"One morning I woke up and I spread out all the magazines I was subscribing to which included Playboy, and National Geographic and a couple of others. When I opened them up, the things that popped out was the first one, Playboy, was the fold-out; and then National Geographic had something that showed the new stadium being built by some athletic team. Then there was another one with a fold-out. Of course, the way we work is something triggers a thought, and what triggered in me was if all of them are doing expensive, full color fold-outs, why doesn't MAD Magazine do a cheap fold-in? MAD was black and white at that time.

I thought about it for a moment, and then I looked in the newspaper and there was a story about Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton and Eddie Fischer and accusations that Elizabeth Taylor was going from one guy to another. I thought, "Well, that might make a fold-in. I did something very simple, which was to put Elizabeth Taylor on the left side, and Richard Burton was somewhere in the middle, but on the right side, there was just some young guy. The question was something like, "Who's going to be Elizabeth Taylor's next?" We thought it would be Richard Burton, but if you folded it in, it was just that guy on the right side, and it says, "some guy in the crowd." That was the gag. I took it into the editor, Al Feldstein. I said, "Al, I've got an idea that strikes me funny, but you're going to reject it because if you printed it, it would mutilate a page in the magazine." He looks at it. He says, "I like this." He immediately jumped up and ran into Bill Gaines, and then came back to me and said, "Bill said, 'Lets do it. If the kid folds the page, and he feels he's ruined the magazine, he'll buy another magazine for his collection.'" Ever the money man.

I did it, and that was it. It was a one shot gag. A couple of weeks later, Feldstein rushes up to me—I happened to be up at MAD at that time—and said, "Where's the next fold-in?" I said, "Al, there is no next fold-in. That's it. It was a one time gag." He says, "I want another fold-in."
"
I think "Never gonna give you up" is different. It's the basis of a prank, it is silly, but it does not inspire the same level of dedication to re-creating or really any kind of creativity around musical effort as two other songs:

- Sandstorm / Darude [1]

- Africa / Toto

"All star" is closer to "Never gonna give you up" due to it being a sort of tongue-in-cheek ironic kinda thing due to how bad it really is. "All star" also has close proximity to the Shrek based meme subcultures / trends, and gains popularity from that as well. (see: Shrek is love, shrek is life and similar greentexts)

Not necessarily. Startpage uses Google for all of its results.

This ignores the a priori knowledge problem.
Sure, with perfect knowlege that there would be an outbreak in 2020, this investment might have made sense.

Without knowing the future, you can't make this statement.
What will the continued support for this project be, given that Uber has shuttered their AI Labs?
No, I explicitly said that I do not consider them evil. You're also misrepresenting the position of those that would consider them evil; they wouldn't be evil for "having a political slant", but because the specific political slant they have is evil (which again, is explicitly not my position).

EDIT: And also, they're arguably evil by virtue of, you know, firing someone over an inoccuous political position...
Like your search engine!
i think it's really tricky because we aren't really smart when it comes to dealing with the future and/or counterfactuals.

risk averse investors (?) may want a lot to go towards prevention of catastrophic but perhaps lower probability things (e.g. pandemic, asteroid impact within 1000 years), others may want towards high probability things (climate change related), yet others may want to just solve nuclear fusion so that all of the above become way easier, etc. imagine if $5T concentrated solely in energy research got us some breakthrough leading to cheap/infinite energy, for example.

prediction market? i'm not really sure.
It sounds like he's playing more than two notes simultaneously in many places. How is he accomplishing this?
Well it's technically correct, but the government wasn't giving access to Palantir as a favor, they were purchasing data analysis SaaS.

Funnily enough, the clean thing is what really kick-started google (at least for the group of people I know). Going from the unholy mess of links on Yahoo! to google with their single search box and a couple of links was a giant step forward.
> Are they? AFAIU the propensity for HTP to exothermically decompose was the main reason why it was abandoned in favor of IRFNA/NTO. I mean, if you're switching to something as nasty as NTO or IRFNA for safety reasons, whatever you're switching from has to be pretty bad!

I'm not sure the switch to IRFNA/NTO is for safety reasons. There is simplicity involved - you don't need catalyst with them. The components themselves are easier to get by and to store. They however have their own nasty properties regarding safety. Also historically nitric acid was initially used with turpentine, which is a hypergolic pair.

Here are some comments on safety.

"Cops generally don't draw their guns unless there is a perceived threat."

Yeah and these "perceived threats" include kids with toy guns, unarmed people with their hands up, and people lying on the ground dying.

Many cops have learned, whether through training or culture, to point their guns first and ask questions later, at a huge cost to society. It seems you don't have sympathy for the people affected by this, but many of us do.

I have a lot of sympathy for police too. They have a dangerous and thankless job, and we all rely on them. But my sympathy ends at those who abuse their power, and those who protect the abusers in their midst.

People who would rather kill another human than accept any risk in trying to defuse a situation peacefully don't have what it takes to do this extremely difficult job, and they should look for another line of work.
I don't think it is just how close you are, but what you are doing. When doing engineering projects I still like to see what someone is doing because there tends to be things that they do that aren't discussed and change how things work. You also can learn neat little tricks this way too.

But code, I generally like reading because most of it is abstract and in your head anyways. So I think the best media depends on what you're doing and what type of learner you are.

I'll add that sometimes I read a dozen articles and just don't get it. Then I watch an OCW and everything just clicks. The reverse also happens. Sometimes you just need a different format and/or a different voice. More options only helps.
No it doesn’t. It has finite instructions for the loop body, and then one jump instruction for the loop.

It's interesting how simple is to get small services out of the cloud now.

I'm not that worried about websites banning the Pi as the traffic is really low, on concurrent calls it's unlikely to be a problem as I don't expect the Pi to query several websites in parallel.

Certainly it's something worth implementing if I ever start getting more traffic.

Thanks for sharing.
Even if you say that intelligence is a vector, well, vectors have norms. The perception I'm trying to counter here is that intelligence involves tradeoffs which somehow result in a fair outcome for all. That Bobby's writing ability is offset by Billy's chess-playing. That's not the case at all.

Take someone like John Von Neumann. One of the greatest mathematicians of the 20th century (and perhaps all time), he could also converse in a multitude of languages (native Hungarian, English, French, German, Italian, Ancient Greek). He was also an avid history buff, reading through Wilhelm Oncken's 46-volume Allgemeine Geschichte in Einzeldarstellungen at the age of 8 [1].

Later, he studied and became a chemical engineer while at the same time studying for his Ph.D in mathematics at the age of 20!

there is only one single gene that gives rise to all of the variance in intelligence among humans.

This does not follow. The claim is that some brains are better at learning than others. This means they can model and describe the complex relationship between ideas across a multitude of subject domains. It doesn't say anything about a single gene being responsible.

I recently used Armbian for a project (my HW is better supported than openwrt which gave up on the board that I use). Documentation is ok, but I found most of the clues at their forums. The IRC channel was also helpful.

> My point is there's no "lack" of tooling.

All the more reason to have an IDE.

> More and more beginners nowadays do not want to install a whole new IDE

That's incommensurate with reality, to put it mildly.
IntelliJ is out of control, partly because java itself is horrendously convoluted, but that's an exception. A beginner would rather have a tool to support their learning curve than not. I guess it's a matter of what constitutes a "beginner".

I do not disagree that people prefer to keep their own IDEs, but that's impractical across all languages. You're going to lose tooling along the integration path, naturally.
> You want work that demands more of you - but not so much that work becomes your life. That way lies burnout and depression, which are not what you're looking for.

Yes, balance is key. I guess you can't have the best of both worlds?
>Their poor experience and dubious practices likely spawned Google's internal motto: "don't be evil"

Sure, I remember the bad ol' days. But Google has (IMHO) become the thing they set out to disrupt. The quality of Google results has declined dramatically in the last 5 years or so.

It's all marketing bullshit now, just as Altavista or whomever was. Finding content I want, as opposed to content advertisers want me to find, is becoming very difficult via Google.
At school with me were 2 guys who were not that academic but they were natural sportsmen. They had something very evidently we didn't, and it's hard to put a finger on it. One became a semi-pro fooballer (football, UK). Their competence on the pitch or elsewhere was extraordinary.

Whatever that special thing is, once you see it in action you realise it's a genuine facet of something. You may not want to call it an intelligence, but I'm ok with doing so. It wasn't a physical thing, they weren't physically special, ergo it was a mental thing. "Intelligence" covers that quite well, I think.
Thanks for pointing this out. A disrespect for their predecessors inclines me to believe CloudfareTV is just another corporate vanity project.

I'd like you to point out where I denied the validity of "the" discussion, or any discussion.

I disagreed with the idea that a single topic needs to be always at the top, or that it's somehow a bad thing if it isn't, or that it should be to the exclusion of other things. That's not at all the same as denying the validity of discussion about anything else unless you live in a black and white world.

I literally said "I agree those topics should be getting high visibility regardless", and now I'm apparently "denying the validity of the discussion".
Not true at all. I've been running my blog on WP since 2011, doing over 100k monthly readers since 2012. Not a since hack incident. It's the world's biggest CMS, its security has come a long way since the early days.

Wordpress has a powerful ecosystem, great usability, and it's free. Hard to beat.

I'm playing with Webflow for one of my other sites. Content editing capabilities and large scale content management is lightyears behind Wordpress still.

This book has some very out of the box thinking to dramatically lower launch costs through downsizing and mass production. I actually bought a couple dozen print copies of this book to give away before the author made the PDF freely available. One of the authors used to give away buttons that said: "Want Lower Launch Costs? BUILD MORE ROCKETS!", which actually inspired my username.

Mozilla had enough failures already as it tried to do things that are not Firefox. A search engine is a huge endeavor, and I'd rather have them focus on Firefox. Firefox is, after all, the only real alternative to Chrome, others are just different Chromium front-ends, it is important.

Or they can do like everyone else: an somewhat anonymized front-end for Bing, but what's the point? We already have DDG and a few others.
I've heard this assertion before, that a cast-iron or carbon-steel pan can be made just as non-stick as a teflon pan with a proper seasoning. I disagree, based on my own experience.

I have some cast iron pans that I took the care to clean an polish smooth, and season well, and they are seasoned better than most other cast iron or steel skillets I've seen in other people's kitchens. It's smooth enough to cook eggs on, _if_ I use sufficient cooking fat. And even then, even my cheap teflon-coated pans are smoother, and can get away with using less cooking fat.

Yes, a steel or iron pan, well-seasoned, can be used for several tasks that someone might think would require a teflon pan. But even then, there are some things that are just plain easier on a teflon pan than they are on well-seasoned iron or steel.

All of those were key events. The death of Google Reader is and remains important milestone for the destruction of the previous iteration of the web and transition to the Facebook/Twitter/YouTube universe of today.

Profit is powerful but control is far more so. Frankly, Google fucked up and bit the hand that fed it. That strategy has been financially successful, but did so at the expense of hyper-stimulating Facebook and Twitter. I'd go as far to say that if Google invested in what Reader had represented, a marginal business like Twitter would have vanished or been absorbed long ago.
I promise, you don't need to be a mathematician to use Haskell.

If you've written shell scripts before, you understand how Haskell functions calls are written.

If you've used `forEach()` in imperative languages then you understand functors.

These two things alone are half of the groundwork you need to read basic Haskell code! Of course, the fundamental underpinnings of the language will not appear just from a surface reading of the code, but if you're a person who learns by example then the above two are more than good enough.

If you're more of a linear learner then Learn You A Haskell [1] is an excellent, if earnest, introduction to the language. Depending on your confidence level you may be able to skip a decent way in.

Why, a good IDE is an example of something that is a powerful tool. It increases your productivity, whether you are a beginner or not. (The problem arises when it becomes easier not to use the IDE.)
Interesting that you would tend to focus on the individual instead of the manager or process, when it comes to problem solving. I think most commenters here understand that complex problems require coordination and collaboration, and not just a bunch of engineers playing wack-a-mole.
Honestly that distinction had never even occurred to me—I was envisioning possible concern over giving access to sensitive personal information to a for-profit multinational.
Got it - that makes sense. I actually ended up with a smattering of the version problems when I was working with pipenv for the first time, and figured it was my fault in some way because I hadn't set up the "correct" python version on my system. That's somewhat disheartening to hear that it's a consistent problem.

Thanks for the insight and clarification.

Forgo the work you enjoy and the money you can make and go into politics, see if you can do something to make your town a better place.

Charging 1.01x the expected ad revenue wouldn't cover the cost of implementing the no-ad option. Even 2x might be in break-even territory when you include extra support costs and the like (one person on the phone because they bought no-ads and got ads due to a mishap somewhere wipes out the profit from a lot of no-ad sales).

There's also the funny issue where people who can afford to pay extra for the no-ads option are exactly the people that advertisers want to show ads to. If the no-ads option is $5, then you're left selling ads with a target market of people who can't afford or don't want to spend $5, and that ends up driving down your ad revenue. A large gap between the expected ad revenue and the price of the no-ad option helps mitigate this effect.
