The haircut comments drive me up the wall, particularly if you know someone who owns a small business and their accompanying struggles. Economic money movement was stalled, which can have an enormous impact on livelihood. While I can absolutely understand being critical of when protestors wanted things to re-open, it shows a deliberate attempt at being unable to empathize.
The anti lock down people were allowed to protest. With weapons publicly displayed too...

This isn't a fair question, people will protest and go back to their lock down down life. Reopening is sustained interaction.
Is there any way around having to click a bookmarklet on the bookmarks toolbar?

I do not keep a bookmarks toolbar active, and also prefer to do things on the keyboard whenever possible.
It absolutely is. There are hundreds of videos of it, don't ignore them because they don't fit your little narrative.
But in almost all of those videos it didn't make a difference whether the police had guns or not?

Microservice architecture is not just using separate processes.

I tweeted about this a week ago being from the area. It helped the city get rid of officers that the police union were protecting not fire-able. Further, it helped the city (which had declared bankruptcy) get rid of police pensions negotiated decades ago that were draining city coffers.
Forth is Lisp, but with composition as the basic operator instead of application. The result, of course, is a wildly different language but one which inspired the same degree of fanaticism among its adherents in their search for simplicity and elegance.

A truly under appreciated language imho.

> Especially when his opinions are factually unfounded and result the gross misuse of public resources.

Factually unfounded? It is pretty clear that opportunists and provacateurs have used the legitimate protests as a shield for their illegal activities.

Protection of property and safety of citizens is "gross misuse of public resources"? Do you think the people living above the stores being vandalized and lit on fire would agree with you?

> Absolutely no one was giving a free pass to looters.

I call shenanigans on this one. The mainstream press has downplayed the looting and violence very consistently conflating criticism of the illegal activities as criticism of the legitimate protests efforts. And there is a vocal minority of voices actually legitimizing the violent activities as an appropriate and necessary extension of the peaceful protests.
Do you have a source/link about Camden?
I think Biden should choose a moderate Republican as his VP. That is the most symbolic choice he could make that he is serious about bringing this country back together. It’s just about the only thing he could do that would unite this country. Going further left will destroy this country, not because I disagree with the policies but because right now we are in a crossroads for this political divisiveness.
> It feels like there must be _some_ way to turn all that computing power into something it helps with mental illness, too. But any such thing would probably have to be very personalized to the person using it, which is something we can't really do that well right now.

Interesting, I've been thinking about this for the past year. I'm thinking a sort of personal assistant/therapist, and I've also come to the conclusion that it would have to be really personalized for the person using it. And probably very integrated with the hardware you use. But I do believe it's possible to create it.

"The dictionary" can be implemented in many ways; simple or clever, namespaced or not. A language without any form of local or global name binding would presumably need quotations ala Joy/Factor, which means your stacks probably have to store objects rather than raw numbers. This tips the scale in the direction of a higher-level language.

The stacks are likewise a description of semantics rather than implementation. Some Forths keep the top few stack elements in registers to reduce overhead. If the return stack isn't user-accessible (r> >r etc.) then, again, you're straying closer to a higher-level functional language than a Forth.

There are many kinds of threaded code. For example, subroutine-threaded code uses native subroutine call instructions in word bodies and does away with the inner interpreter. Threaded code is a natural consequence of disentangling conventional "activation records" into two stacks which grow and shrink independently. You could have a Forth without threaded code, I suppose.

Some Forths attempt to "seal off" or otherwise obscure some parts of their own internal workings from "user programs". This is more common among dialects which try to adhere to ANS specs, like GForth. This isn't a total anathema to Forthiness, but it tends to introduce additional complexity. If a word is useful for implementing a forth kernel, why couldn't it be useful in implementing other functionality, too?

If you're building something higher-level which vaguely resembles Forth, it's probably better to describe it as a concatenative language. A dependent type system doesn't sound very Forthy, imo.
I feel a good or maybe the best way to eke our an edge for the US, China or whoever would be to create a good simulation platform and offer a great SaaS platform, maybe like kerbal space program, and let anyone compete. Then learn from the simualations.

> Then couldn't I just follow the same patterns in a modular monolith (eg: avoid shared state, make sure errors are handled properly, etc) and get the bulk of the benefits, without having to introduce network related problems into the mix?

Sure. Microservice architecture is a set of design patterns and a discipline for knowing how to structure your applications.

Many, including myself, would argue that by leveraging patterns such as separate processes as a focal point for the architecture leads to patterns that are harder to break out of and abuse, but of course anyone can do anything.

Error handling is the easiest one. With any 'service oriented' approach, where processes are separated, you can't share mutable state without setting up another service entirely (ex: a database). Microservices encourage message passing and RPC-like communication instead, and it's much easier to fall into the pit of success.

Could you do this with functions? Sure - you can just have your monolith move things to other processes on the same box. Not sure how you'd get there without a process abstraction, ultimately, but you could push things quite far with immutability, purity, and perhaps isolated heaps.
The fact that the police is a community which is “other” than us is the problem, though. This is never going to be solved as long as there’s an external group with power over us which rejects accountability.
It's really hard not to read this as "my mass killing is okay because I have a good reason." I assume that's not what you mean. Can you help clarify the differences between deaths downstream of these mass gatherings and deaths downstream of more conventional violence?
> Page $00 are the first 256 bytes of address space, page $01 are bytes $0000 to $00FF and so on.

Er, you mean page $01 is bytes $0100 to $01FF, right? And 6502 in general didn't use flat addressing, IIRC; eg `12FE,x` would address 12FE,12FF,1200,1201,... with increasing x register, rather than 1300,etc.
Not to mention, the extremely opinionated but well written and charismatic blog post is most often the one believed, even though charisma is not a strong signal for truth.
Because high speed and maneuverability means that's a lot of space to cover.
> a) has Hacker News/YC ever seen a startup fail because the codebase is so bad.

Yes, but it's more that the programmers are bad instead of the code. Bad code can be patched fast by a good programmer, but becomes rapidly unmaintainable by a bad programmer. A lot of techniques and style guides out there are designed to manage bad programmers.

> b) what is the best calculation to make when trading off code quality vs features?

I have two modes: prototype and production. Prototypes are disposable, and value speed/results above all else. They should be thrown away after. Treat them as a demo to get budget for a feature or a hack to solve a problem right now. Design it to be completely destroyed and replaced, instead of replaced gradually, although you can probably reuse interfaces/contracts in between these modules.

Production code is kept clean and as maintainable as possible, but keep the engineering to a minimum. If you have to ask whether something is overengineering, it probably is.

> c) do most YC startups write tests and try to write cleanish code in V1 or does none of this matter?

I'm not sure about YC but I don't write automated tests. I have a text file with all the manual tests I need to run. Features are usually scrapped hard in a startup. IMO it's better to release a broken thing to 1000 people who complain it's broken than to release a well built thing to 100 people who think it's nice but won't pay for it.

> Should we just be chucking shit at the wall and seeing what sticks? Do most startups bin v1 and jump straight to v2 once they have traction?

Rule of thumb is you need dozens, if not hundreds of prototypes, so optimize for speed and experimentation quality. You're like a prospector, looking for ore. You don't want to build an entire mine, where there is none, and you don't want to commit too hard until you know there's a sufficient number of it.

But things are different for "ramen profitable" startups, and you should start looking into how to maintain better and add features faster.
These kinds of salaries mean that if you reject the position, there’s a chance someone else without morals will accept it.

Anyway, accepting the offer doesn’t mean compromising your morals. You can always be a voice of reason within the company. Plus, having Facebook on your resume can open up a lot of opportunities in the future.

If they make you do something morally wrong, you can always quit.
I ran across an early version of this, on paper, in the university library at my undergraduate institution, and took the same lesson of humility and respect in the face of complexity that the article does.

The positive side is that we actually can and do effectively intervene in this system, and systems like it, to improve outcomes, so even very high levels of complexity don't mean analysis is impossible.

Policy prescriptions are always political. Science is a method of creating accurate predictions. It's a valuable tool to inform your decisions, but it fundamentally cannot tell you what you should do. Deciding which outcome is most desirable is a value judgement that has no scientific answer.

I watched it at the last film festival:
http://thirdhorizonfilmfestival.com/films/what-happened-to-a...

The tile is What Happened to a Dream Deferred. During the QandA the director told us how she had to get involved because the subject that applied for asylum was arrested at the interview. Then moved through many detention camps. This is done so their immigration lawyers can't find them and represent them during the hearings. I found this to be really shocking.

That could or could not be correct. We don't know their bill of materials. Probably some people can estimate it better for Intel. I understand the ARM stuff is AWS proprietary, so I would be surprised is any figures are public. Besides the costs are unkown the margins could be very different. AWS might be willing to pay a high investment to get more independent of Intel in the long term.

I worked at a big corporation in the mobile space before. They were willing to pay a high investment to get more independent of their single ARM SoC supplier. (It failed because Intel could not deliver in the end.)

"Andrew Sullivan calls our attention to epidemiologist Tara C. Smith, who moves with that curious herd of 'experts' suddenly not terribly concerned about social distancing when the protesters filling the streets are left-wing rather than right-wing. Writes Sullivan: 'The message to normies: going outside is killing grandma. The message to woke kids: never mind!'

"So which is it? Were people like Smith lying before about the danger of spreading the virus, in order to promote a political agenda? Or being honest about it but now willing to endanger countless lives, in order to promote a political agenda?

"Adding smug cluelessness to her dishonesty and/or recklessness, Smith also sniffs that the difference is that those who rallied to end the lockdown were merely 'protesting for their ability to get a haircut.'

"Yes, of course, haircuts. It had nothing to do with wanting to get back to work in order to support their families, salvage businesses it took a lifetime to build, avoid depleting their life savings, get their kids back in the classroom, etc. It was all about haircuts." [0]

At the very least, you would need some therapist knowledge about the person using such a CBT software.

Likely from your actual therapist, but it could be done with a lot of self-introspection/discovery - the problem with the latter is that if you come to the wrong conclusions about your own problems and solutions (which is likely) it could lead you further astray.

So every copy of it would need to be very customizable and very private at the very least; medically certified, maybe.
SAMs already have as many sensors as can be packed in, and mostly have the human in the loop just to make the decision whether to engage a target. And still cannot reliably get through sophisticated countermeasures.

The problem for me is we don't have any way at this time of knowing at an individual level what the consequences are likely to be. I might have no symptoms if I get sick but I may transmit it my son (type 1 diabetic) who might die. Or maybe he'd be fine and I might die, etc. There's just no way to gauge what one's reaction might be to getting the coronavirus.

A local, healthy 8 year old girl started having symptoms last week Thursday and died the following Tuesday.

I don't expect my family's lockdown to end before well into next year at the earliest. The odds are against dying or long term complications for younger people, but is going out to dinner, a bar, sporting or music event worth the risk? Not for me. Stay safe folks.

Only obliquely related: I was hoping Nim would be the kind of language that preferred libraries over frameworks.

We have way too many frameworks and not enough libraries. A library comes with an API. A framework must arrive with its own architecture, a vocabulary to describe that architecture, tooling, a plugin ecosystem, configurations and a lot of best practices and recommendations. Are we paying too much for that initial, one-time effort of bootstrapping an app and stitching a bunch of libraries together into an app?

Ah, I misunderstood the argument you were making.

There's a lot I don't like about Go, and plenty of things to be cautious about in message-queue-based systems; laziness is by no means the only thing I worry about. "decrementing a counter" suggests the kind of imperative control flow I would be very cautious about; I favour iterating/recursing over data structures, which is inherently safe against infinite loops (but only in strict languages with immutable datastructures!). I can't remember the last time I decremented a counter that was being used for a loop termination condition in the code itself; I've occasionally written functions like "run this block n times", but the most trivial test of such functions tells you whether they're infinite loops or not. Of course this is only really practical in a language powerful enough to write recursion-schemes style constructions.
It would seem more appropriate to compare each US state with another country of similar statistics.

My first computer was a wire wrapped home brew with a Signetics 2650 cpu, and a handful of 74LS logic and 1kx4 static ram chips. The Signetics 2650 cpu had an 8 level on chip return stack. It was a good microprocessor for the time, easy to interface, and generally nice to program. But, there was no way to extend the stack or even access it so it could only be used when the call depth, including interrupts, could be guaranteed never to exceed seven levels. It enjoyed some success as an embedded cpu, but was never used in personal computers, probably because of the stack limitation.
Something doesn't have to be encoded in law to be structural. If a cop racially profiles a black man and harasses him and his boss doesn't discipline him, that's structural. The structure has failed to provide the right outcome.

I got about 1/5th through before I couldn't help but wonder if this was a satire site. He's uncomfortable with decades-old common internet acronyms, and unable to recognize a joke, taking several used in the article completely seriously.

One of the comments there puts it better than I can:

> Honestly, most of it is genuinely trolling. I don’t go on it anymore (used to more often), but really the whole thing is a meme. Sure, a few people take it seriously, but I have no doubt it is no statistically different than any other group that has a subculture.

> 4chans entire subculture exists to start trends, meme, and get a reaction. The boogaloo movement was always a meme and it is only now being legitimized because of mainstream news coverage. Now, people who aren’t about of the Chan subculture see it and start to believe in it legitimately.. when that never was the case to begin with.

> They did this with the “OK” symbol, Waterproof Iphones, TayTweets, and most recently Boogaloo.

> Now they are doing it with #goBaldForBLM (or at least trying to).

> Just kind of sad to see a credible investigative journalism site constantly spending time to focus on 4chan.. when it’s trolls.. and the only people who take it seriously are the ones who read about it through the lens of an article.

It's the media not understanding the internet and creating their own boogeyman.
