How do you define success for you life? Put differently, what do you define as The Good Life?

You have to define that metric for yourself. Nobody else can do that for you. That said, I can offer a personal illustration.

I was in an art-oriented career previously. I defined The Good Life back then as achieving prestige in my field of art. Several years in, I came to realize that, for myself, my definition of The Good Life had changed. It now included time to spend hanging out with and helping friends; getting to know my nieces and nephews; having time to pursue art that's meaningful to me without attaching my paycheck to it.

I've been able to make progress towards my personal definition of The Good Life by changing careers into tech where job security is more guaranteed than in the freelance art world, and where the jobs are interesting enough and pretty cushy. That's given me the financial freedom to have that balance in my life with time for friends, family, religious life, art, my spouse, and other things.

What is success to you?

I'm personally convinced that a strong case is made that connects leaded gasoline with high crime rates. Certainly larger police forces and legalized abortion and various public policies, etc., are also in the picture. But can it be said that lead abatement from gasoline, if not the top cause, is nonetheless among the most likely reasons for the reduction in crime rates over the past few decades?

> Named tuples, the example I called out, are a good improvement over dicts for adhoc structs that don’t require full class definitions.

Doesn't a lot of that improvement come from the fact that they have a name, though? I guess you could argue for an "UnnamedTuple" which only enforces tuple size and member names. But if you're able to specify the member names, it feels like the thing being represented is concrete enough that you should be able to come up with a name for it, and that having a name would be beneficial.

That's a good point, another one is people using your proxy to attack other servers.

I find the proxy area to be interesting but something I'm unlikely to use for business, you are quoting some examples that made me laugh, and I'd certainly laugh if it happens to me, but I know I will remove the public access, if I were involved in business with this, the story would be different.

Thanks for sharing.
I used to regard UK policing, founded on the unarmed bobbie (sp?), with awe. The Rotherham scandal changed my thinking on that entirely. It's the worst failure of policing I've ever heard of, and seems to have caused by this sort of "light touch above all" trend.

Yes, "saving innocents" is the whole point of policing.

I have the cheapest possible hosting and a WP blog I never use, the hosting keeps WP update and I just get the email notification when the update happens.

The box would have to decrypt HDCP, swizzle one codec into another, and re-encrypt. I spent about $50 on dongles and the better part of a weekend pursuing that angle to no avail. Sony didn't make the announcement ahead of time, so nobody had an FPGA module ready. Of course, a cynic would say that was the whole point.

I wasn't alone in having this problem -- the support forums were overflowing with outraged threads about this. Support would give non-answers, wait for someone to say something objectionable, and then use it as an excuse to lock and delete the thread. Rinse, repeat. They had it down to a science.

"It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so f'in what." --Steven Fry
If you can't point to exact laws and exact policy in 2020 that is the cause for the "structural" then I feel like we are just ghost hunting rather than admitting to the uncomfortable conclusion that others have already reached multiple times. We may need to shift the discussion to damage to a culture done in the past rather than blame some specter that doesn't actually exist in the now in any of the statistical data. Structural implies universal application, which it clearly is not.
Got it. I was leaning that way with my interpretation but wasn't completely positive.

The biggest risk in all of the WordPress ecosystem are third-party plugins. Minimizing the use of those and installing something like Wordfence (free or paid) would go a long way towards mitigating that risk. It wouldn't be non-zero, but it'd be acceptably low.

Czech and Sumerian. Too much ressources is also a problem, as you said, because navigating into them is difficult for a beginner.
People want different things. Worse, people want different things at different times. That makes it very hard to write "how to succeed at your life".

You're bored. I think that means that you're ready for a job that demands more of you than the one you're in. (Plus, that usually means more money.) Looking for a job with more responsibility might be your first move. (That doesn't mean that you necessarily have to switch companies. You can just ask your boss for more or harder work.)

But as you move to harder work, one of the problems is maintaining balance. 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.

Not really, no. That's not what they got paid for at least.
My point is there's no "lack" of tooling. Nowadays, the Haskell IDE engine is good enough for general use. It's pretty trivial to plug into every general-purpose editor.

More and more beginners nowadays do not want to install a whole new IDE. They don't want to have to configure it, learn it, and understand all of its nuances and foibles. They prefer using their existing setup (VSCode, Atom, vim, emacs, etc.) with a nice slot-in for the new language - which is exactly what the Haskell tooling supports.

By comparison, a custom IDE is a massive undertaking, and a relatively fruitless one. It takes a tremendous effort to do well, and up until that point it actually negatively impacts the learning experience: if you encourage beginners to use a mediocre IDE, they will experience the language in a mediocre way.
Well, your username brought back a flood of memories of its own, so we're even.
My family is recently from Germany, and at least 50 years ago, they had an extremely strong culture of social order and obeying laws. I suspect variations in crime rates have a lot more to do with that than with differences in policing style.

Guatemala has ~40% of the total Maya population so that makes sense.

Are the Maya communities in Mexico still speaking Maya languages?
I think so, yes. I think Haskell helps with this. You can write the top level code first, and be fairly confident that, if the types are sensible, there will be a sensible implementation by the time you reach the bottom.

It also helps that there's so much code reuse that the "depth" reached is quite shallow compared to what you might see in other languages.
I think the major cause for this is the self branding phenomena that started together with the social media boom.
Suddenly people got it to their minds that they are supposed to market themselves like products. And with the best tradition of PR, the truth don't matter, only the optics. So you got a bunch of mediocre engineers, some hardly out of uni swamping the net with opinions and shoddy advice , written in a very knowledgeable tone, because "that's the game".
Combine this with tons of tech startups using same PR technics to sell their often than not, less than perfect technology.

With the crazy boom in developers, you got a whole generation of mediocre devs without any tradition to build on, surrounded by silly opinions and fads to learn from.

Now replace "developers" with any information age occupation , this remains true.
I'm forced to use a Mac for work, and I use yabai. It's far superior to the default mac experience, which seems to be designed to actively hide windows and make your life more difficult, but it's still a pain to use. It's obviously a hack and that makes itself known in daily usage - dialog boxes are tiled just like regular windows, or alternatively hidden behind the tiled windows where they're inaccessible; suspending and resuming randomly messes up the position of my windows; and the stupid mac detached-titlebar is almost unusable when you drag your mouse over another program and the focus gets yanked away.

Customisation and configuration are also plainly inferior to i3/sway, plus there's the complicated installation process and necessity to disable apple's walled garden features to get full functionality.

At home I have i3/sway, which is a nice polished user experience; there's no comparison really.

The Business of a Football Club – 101
To be frank the rhetoric in the headline is just plain incredibly fucking stupid, to put it more precisely the notion is downright illiterate technically and economically. A website which doesn't take your data is just an error code. The data is generated by transactions on their computer based upon what you give them. The economics insinuates theft of the universal value fallacy. The "medievil economics by bored feudalists who stay far away from any merchants and conclude water in a desert is the same price as by a river and the only way any merchant can make money is fraud". Trivially false and yet the bad ideas were believed by people for centuries anyway.
My understanding of the extant research is that SARS-CoV-2 jumped from bats to pangolins to humans in wet markets in China that sold "farmed" wildlife.

In short, yes. Wet, wildlife markets in China were the source of this outbreak.
With the current state of affairs, yes, but it hasn't always been like that. The point here is more long-term - this significantly reduces the political stakes for SCOTUS appointments, so hopefully the court also becomes less politicized over time. Another goal is to make court decisions less dependent on the point in time at which they're made.
Yes, the pandemic itself is not the "black swan." Pandemics have happened before. But none of them caused a reaction like this. None of them caused voluntary shutdowns of all the world's major economies at the same time.

Tutorial: Add BGP Analytics to your Imply netflow analysis
It’s funny. I’m currently having some hardware problems, figuring out what the problem is, I reinstalled windows. A lot. And every time FF defaulted to google (because apparently Search Engines are not synced). And holy hell. Google Germany results are utterly unusable. For anything I searched that had an original download site, google gives me some scammy German site that either relinks the original site after several (ad-riddled) clicks or even worse, has their own installer, presumably bundling the original with adware.

I always read here about people complaining about how bad DDG’s localized results are. Considering they usually talk about switching back to google, I can’t comprehend that.

"Modern hipster" is whatever goes against the conservative approach, their thought process is based on the premise that whatever happened in the past was bad (and there were true horrors in the past too).

So yeah, what goes against the conservative approach is really cool! For example, naming each iteration of your product based on a funny animal like Focal Fossa (Ubuntu), or a candy like Kitkat (Android). The conservative approach is to be professional and let them be just versions like 1,2,3 or code names like Longhorn or Aurora as Microsoft did but for internal purposes only.

> If you made the record size something large, let's say 1MB, then it would mean that changing 1 byte of a duplicated or snapshotted 1GB file would cause an additional 1MB of storage. Very, very very inefficient. However, still better than a non-CoW system, where duplicates and snapshots would occupy an additional 1GB irrespective of modifications.

1MB recordsizes make a lot of sense for drives that primarily hold large files for archive or preservation. That lines up with the intended use of SMR drives. The problem here is that these were stealth-SMR drives, saving WD money at the customer's pain.

For the small % of use cases where you have large files that are written sequentially, and never edited internally, labeled-SMR with large records can be a good solution that saves money.

Huh, the problem isn't that people have made their own. The string types are all in the standard "boot" packages. The problem is that there is one that is obsolete from another era (String) and four usable ones, each combination of strict/lazy and Unicode/Bytes.

Haskell gets twice as many as Python (say) because of the desire to have strict and lazy versions.
Yeah I think the notion of a scalar intelligence metric won't stand the test of time. Some people are born with golden hands and excel at everything they touch while others are over-achievers in narrow subjects only. Just think what a scalar intelligence concept would mean: there is only one single gene that gives rise to all of the variance in intelligence among humans. This can't be it, there are likely dozens if not hundreds of genes involved and each gene regulates a different aspect of brain function.

I firmly believe that monads (and monad transformers) are exactly what an industrial engineer needs, for the following important reason.

A monad describes its scope in such a way that writing code outside of its scope is a compile time error. If your code needs certain capabilities, it must invoke the computational context of those capabilities (which is usually a monad in Haskell). If it doesn't, then the context can (and should) be omitted.

It's worth noting that monad transformers are themselves monads. So drawing a distinction between "monads" and "monad transformers" to say that one is good and one bad is not very meaningful. The composability of monads, as exemplified in MTL, Transformers and similar, is a positive sign of their power and not a red flag.

If your code ends up with an "unwieldy tower" of transformers then that's a strong indication that the principle of separation of concerns has not been adequately followed. The fact that Haskell makes that evident seems to me like a benefit.
