Right on! This is exactly correct, you remove so much friction for internal teams by building high quality apps.
Yes but you can use that jit also with perl5.

It has even less backcompat problems than the native regex.
Ideally, we’d be able to differentiate between local parsing (which I’d deem acceptable) and a remote request, but that quickly enters a gray area. How long after parsing do we validate a request? Is it even viable for a compiler to track the status of a property beyond assignment? And for how long? etc.
The snippets in the article are not using React with hooks. I imagine it would be more similar to your example if the snippets used purescript-react-basic-hooks[1]

So we can keep having a society.
It's a remnant from the time when Python strived for simplicity and resisted adding syntax. Just like the decision against adding a ternary operator, etc. The alternative ways (dict of functions or if chain) were considered good enough weighed against the sin of adding relatively rarely used syntax.
I was "addicted" to discovering new information before the internet existed. I biked 20 kilometers to the city to spend hours in the library and dig around in the shelves. When I got got access to the internet in the early 90s I spent hours to search in Usenet news and gopher sources (www hadn't been invented yet). I would not call that always a healthy behavior. It can be pretty inefficient and lacking any direction. Yeah, I sometimes wonder how narrow knowledge my fellow programmers or my early colleague from university who is a professor of computer science today can have.

My interaction on HN could be more focussed to learn something new and not comment something old...
Exactly my thought.
I've always loved FP, I write JS in a FP style at work, and have always wanted to get into learning something like Elm/PureScript (and eventually Haskell) but I feel like it takes ages to get productive. That PureScript React example alone has me thinking twice.
But as a general question, what would be a better way to approach these languages?
Android had install time permissions for a long while. The user either had to allow all permissions asked by the app during install or not be allowed to install the app. On the other side, iOS had runtime permissions (nothing during installation) that were prompted by the system whenever the app needed a permission. When runtime permissions were added to Android 6, apps used to crash when not granted the permissions (so much so that some Android versions also started faking location data to apps when the user denied location access).

This took a few years to improve, but even today, there are Android apps that will refuse to work if you don't grant some (unnecessary, in the view of the user) permission. That kind of behavior is very, very rare among iOS apps.
I mean, a dog AND a couple monkeys made it up to space right? How hard can it be? And the landing part is just falling with style.

"Do nothing" doesn't imply consent by any means. Exiting (killing) a forced onboarding process must be an option and doesn't imply any consent, as well. Like "do nothing", the clear intent is to not to alter the status quo. Default settings can't imply consent. There's no contract, no grant, no entitlement for any subsequent actions. (The EU GDPR made this quite clear on a legal level.)

Sometimes dedicated devices are a deliberate choice with desirable benefits. You don't use a pocket multitool to prepare a fine meal just because it has a blade. You just buy a knife that was made for that purpose.
it’s very possible to keep the epidemic at a low, simmering level without extremely drastic lockdowns.

It's very hard to know the cause of the dramatic decline in nations that were hit hard, so I don't think we can attribute it as simply as that. It could be immunity we're unable to test (T-cell), weather meaning more are outdoors, awareness and measures like distancing and masks, or a mix of many things. We just don't know at this stage.

I'd note that Germany is still seeing outbreaks, and they were hit less hard in the initial wave in Europe. Italy in contrast, which has relaxed restrictions, is seeing very low levels of deaths and cases.
> This is not true, nor a generally good guideline to think about things. Coronaviruses generally confer short immunity periods.

would the common cold be a good example? the common cold is caused by a few different coronaviruses, and it's not uncommon for people to get a cold at least once a year or even multiple times a year.
In the interest of intellectual honesty, I just wanted to say that I’m an awesome person and I am literally so cool.

This is likely not true for most people.
It's still true. You'd be lucky to get updates beyond two years (so choosing the brand with this in mind is more important within the Android ecosystem). There are also devices that don't get updates after a few months of launch. Updates are also delayed by several months depending on the brand.
The problem is that, in a world where white folks have access to a better social safety net, on average they can afford to sacrifice their 20s and 30s in this pursuit, where others might not have that luxury.

Anyway, I won't waste my time further debating what's obvious gaslighting.
That is exactly what some of the low-code tools aim to address: by having a visual, highly productive tool, you enable better collaboration with business stakeholders.

Requirements gathering becomes an interactive process where you sit together with a business stakeholder to model your application together: by doing it in a visual manner, the stakeholder can understand what you are doing, and you can process suggestions and feedback in seconds, so that the stakeholder can immediately validate the results of a change.

Doesn't work for all requirements, but in many cases you get better software because you understand the requirements better.

Ah yes permissions:

-No
-The app can not function without the required permissions."
To be on topic:

Perl7 is basically the idea to modernize saner settings by default. And breaking backcompat where it hurts.
But it's far off a modern perl, like cperl is. They failed to fix the worst historical design mistakes. The hashes, the OO, types, @_, attrs before signatures (which was a major breaking change, but they excused themselves by claiming it was experimental), and many more.

https://github.com/perl11/cperl/issues/414

Instead they are breaking indirect method calls. Thanksfully this will be not POSIX, so nobody will use it.
I don't think his choice of words is perfectly accurate, but the notion is.

See: Ontario school's 'Gender Unicorn'.

It's essentially now state-sanctioned orthodoxy, and if you don't buy it, you're basically fascist, and very close to legal scrutiny.

I think a lot of the concern over it is really misplaced, and some loud voices are 'true bigots' kind of thing, and I think it has good intentions. But I also reject the orthodoxy of the information, and the lack of rights concerning the role of parents in moral foundation of their children. It should be worthy of debate, but there will be none.

A bit of backround: a service typically builds their API first, and then builds the console as a front-end to that API. For most services, everything you can do in the console, you can do via an API call. (I assume Honeycomb is an exception to this.)

That API-first doctrine is at the heart of the underlying problems, which are:

1. Machine-friendly data models.

2. Distributed-friendly data models.

3. Deliberately independent and orthogonal services.

4. A vast range of customer needs over a console that doesn't itself make money.

AWS really does put effort into making their console useful for getting work done. You'll find some workflows that are pretty usable.

But when you get outside a handful of extremely common workflows that were technically convenient for a specific team to implement, those problems become dominant and the console becomes painful if not f*ing useless.

That's why (I suspect) you hate it.

If you don't have attestation, then I can write some JavaScript code that "return true" for the authentication callback, and log into any and every account.
How about the opposite thesis?

"Stop sabotaging your career with long stints".

Very few developers are CEOs/CTOs. Even fewer have founded a successful startup or gotten acquired. Very rarely can one get a promotion or a raise by staying at one job for more than 3 years. The bigger your network is the more likely you will get an interesting job offer at a company where your past loyalty is irrelevant but your personal connection is.

My 2 cents.

The numbers already exist and have existed. It is their job to be journalists, convey a comprehensible narrative from facts. Also keep in mind that is the opinion section. I doubt the author would object to changes in tax structure, etc. to grow more home ownership. Why not putting people in houses and unions? Do you think that unions are not effective?
There are some built-in biases favoring some of the minorities, but there is a reason for this: to avoid that those minorities protest and push back against the PRC/Han China which in the mind of many is still an occupying force. Contrary to Chinese propaganda/school teaching these areas were hisotircally never/rarely in the same realm as the han-dominated regions.

But stepping away from perceptions: being any kind of critic (say, someone warning of a new corona virus epidemic) or just being the wrong religion/ethnicity can mean your life will be hell in China. Look at the treatment of those giving first warnings from Wuhan - even the globally/publicly known critics have been disappeared; and there are many more that never reached this visibility and have the same happen to them.

More at scale: more than 1 Million Uyghurs are in what propaganda calls 'vocational training institutions', which translates to them being brought to and held against their will in reeducation camps. The stories coming out of there ate nightmarish. Assigned CPC representatives live in their homes to keep watch, and in cases where one or several parents in those camps the children were forcibly put into orphanages and the parents have no chance to find out where they are and even less chance to get them back.

Sorry but China is absolutely and 100% oppressing these people, just for existing and daring to be born in a specific ethnicity/religion.
If you buy a membership for a month you can download (as opposed to stream-only) any movie you like with all the subtitles!

My favorite so far has been Wajda's 1977 Man of Marble. An oddly magnetic and fast-paced film that captures the spirit of unbridled, unrealistic optimism (the Soviet, communist variety) and its detriments. You will fall in love with Birkut's herculean brick-laying powers!

I also love Daisies and Pearls of the Deep (both Vera Chytolova) - solid gems of the Czech New Wave. Anyone who loves reading magical realist novels - Murakami, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Kundera - would also enjoy these films.

I've wanted to get into using these piezoelectric actuators for small robots, but it's difficult to get specs on them, and buy them in small quantities. They seem like almost the perfect actuator though. They have small size, high force, high precision and repeatability, and great speed.

Last I checked, the control systems and availability were the main problems, and you couldn't get one for less than a few hundred dollars. I'm not sure why.
My concern is more of how apples walled garden will be applied to the new form factors.
Use a service like browserstack
You seem to have a healthy relationship with FB. Issue is...FB is actively optimizing the experience to achieve an unhealthy relationship that is effectively an addiction. That’s the evil part.
If the browser is the same what difference would it make?
It's even easier than that, just use ngrok. I recorded a demo video of a web interface running locally via ngrok. Left the tunnel up while the video uploaded to YouTube so I could send it privately to a colleague and during processing I started to see requests on my tunnel. YT scraped the URL from the video and was requesting it one char at a time until the entire address was complete. IIRC this was almost two years ago. That was also the day I decided no more visible private links in YT videos.

Oracle have been doing the trick of having all the taxis outside a competitor event decked out in the Oracle logo. They used to do it to Sybase in London in the 90s.

You know of the competitor and it stuck in your mind enough to remember because who doesn't love tacos.

Larry may be wasting all that money on taxis when all he needs is a taco truck.
If you feel that philanthropy has a negative connotation, in this context another word for it would be social justice (which it totally is).
Has anyone been able to identify what is the name of the organisation behind the website and where is it legally established?

I would like to know if the access fee benefits the artists in any way - the east european movie industry is not exactly swimming in money.
I found this to be very wishy-washy on numbers, and using questionable sourcing. For example:

>In the nation’s slaughterhouses, the average worker in 1982 made $24 an hour in inflation-adjusted dollars, or $50,000 a year. Today the average meatpacker processes significantly more meat — and makes less than $14 an hour.

Uh, no. Not really. If this was an honest comparison you'd be comparing their profit output, not meat output. Because the output of significantly more meat does not mean significantly more profit. It can mean significantly less profit. Meat is a razor-thin margin industry.

>Even in the high-flying technology sector, companies have found ways to leave their workers behind. More than half of the people who work for Google do not actually work for Google. They are classified as contractors, which means they do not need to be treated as employees.

Why is a voluntary contract a problem here? Why is this bad?

>The Economic Policy Institute estimates that employers illegally deprive workers of more than $50 billion in wages each year by underpaying them or requiring unpaid work; violators are rarely punished.

So, a union think-tank. Any reputable source?

>And those who waited longest for new opportunities after the 2008 financial crisis have often been among the first to lose their jobs. Black people and women have been especially hard-hit.

Absolute dishonesty, bordering on straight-up lies. Black unemployment is at a 50 year low.

> An app should not be allowed to read the clipboard until a user chooses to "paste".

Sounds good. There are clipboard apps on iOS that work with a share sheet and also get the clipboard content when launched. They could be modified to have the user actively paste in the app to store something if the app is launched in the foreground (just like crude apps on a desktop would).
Agreed on 2), software development has become too easy, look at all the rubish people are putting online and in the appstores.

Javascript, java and python have made it too easy to write software. Would be better to return back to the days when everything was written in C and Assembly.

Nice initiative. There are plenty of movies coming from these parts that never got the exposure they deserve. For instance a very little known fact is that the premiere of The Goat Horn[1] was postponed by the Soviet Union's order because it had a really strong chance in beating Tchaikovsky (Russian-made film) in the Oscars.

How so? While programs themselves could have side effects, the pipe -- if its elements are deterministic which is indeed not true of everything -- is just a series of composed transformations of text.

In a pipeline like

seq 100 | number | grep '[a-z]' | sort | tr -d '.' | tr a-z A-Z

every component is a pure function (byte strings -> byte strings) and the pipeline's results are totally deterministic [if you don't change the locale or collation order with environment variables]. No component of the pipeline makes any change to the filesystem¹.

¹ although both stat(2) and inotify(7) mechanisms could allow other processes to detect the interactions with the filesystem that are caused by running the pipeline, among other process-related mechanisms that system as a whole could use to detect how many times the pipeline has been run, so Unix itself is definitely not side-effect-free for almost any operation
Hadn't ever heard of him before today, but now I want to know more about his work.
I"ve seen Mark's security when he's out and about on campus. They're reasonably discrete about their jobs, given that on any given (pre-Covid) day there were probably hundreds of business and personal visitors on campus.

Personal security for CEOs (never mind billionaire CEOs) is hardly anything new. If I were Mark, received the amount of hate/threat messages he does, and had a young daughter, I'd do everything short of hiring the 82nd Airborne to follow me around.

https://www.businessinsider.com/how-much-silicon-valley-ceos...

Taylor Swift once said "I don't have security to look cool. I have security because people want to take me home and chain me to a pipe in their basement."

TSwift isn't even a billionaire.

I think this is a rather simplified and naïve analysis. Getting functional programs and functional APIs to compose well with each other is just as much a challenge as in other language paradigms. Just because the logic is organized as functions doesn’t magically make things fit together. Your APIs need to speak in a consistent way as well, and the arrangement of your data needs to be the same or easily convertible between your “Lego pieces“. Having spent many years of my career writing functional code all day, it is just as easy to make a mess of things in functional programs as it is an object oriented programs. I do not believe either is inherently better at creating the “Lego“–style.

Probably not to be honest, she deserves the merit she is getting for the work she did. However, the Apollo program in the 60s at it's peak was 4% of the US government budget compared to 0.5% today. The federal government was had a fire hose full of greenbacks aimed at NASA so I'd assume they were hiring huge numbers of engineers directly, and also indirectly through all the aerospace/defense manufacturers who were working on the space program while also simultaneously getting huge contracts for designing ballistic missiles.

NASA has a much smaller budget today so I wouldn't be surprised if you've got to display much more merit in college or your career to get selected as an engineer.

Automation Can Play a Role in Manual Testing Process » Dailygram
If they cared, they would let customers filter to only search items shipped and sold by Amazon.com, and they would come out and publicly announce they do NOT commingle inventory. They specifically removed the ability to filter by "shipped and sold by Amazon.com" (ignoring the fact that with commingling, it doesn't matter anyway).

Since they do not do the above, they obviously do not care. Retail profit margins are tiny, and they make far more on a third party sale while shouldering none of the risk. Therefore, Amazon's best strategy is to appear to care, as long as people continue to shop. And the more third party sellers people use, the better for Amazon, as they simply skim some percentage off of total sales.
Ok. So what exactly happens to Fleetsmith's coveted ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certifications? Barely four months ago Jesse Endahl promised: [0]

"Achieving compliance with the SOC 2 and ISO 27001 standards means that we are committed not just this year or the next — we are committed to operating our business in compliance with these standards every year going forward. Our auditors will request evidence to prove that we’ve continued to follow the policies, processes, and technical controls we’ve put in place on an annual basis. We look forward to demonstrating, year after year, that we’re worthy of your trust.

To get access to our SOC 2 report and ISO 27001 certificate, get in touch at sales@fleetsmith.com."

Apple has an ISO 27001 certification for Apple Business Manager, but I don't exactly see them being so hot on an independent CPA auditing their accounting practices for an AICPA certifications.

Personally, I think Fleetsmith being under Apple's control (a full service MDM solution provided solely by Apple), renders these certifications meaningless.

But hey, do you think if I email sales@fleetsmith.com, they'll be happy send me Apple's ISO 270XX certifications now?
