> Still, you haven't written exactly the function I was asking for

I'm afraid I'm now completely stumped about what you're asking for. If you have a function with a known arity and want to apply it to a known number of arguments then you can use the original formulation:

f <$> args1 <*> args 2 ... <*> argsN

You then asked what happens for unknown numbers of arguments, so I produced a solution that works with lists, which isn't very Haskelly, but does the job. After that you said you wanted something with a more specific type, so I came up with the answer that works generally over tuples (or indeed any type that contains a sequence of arguments). That's not satisfactory either! It seems you literally want a function with type `Integer N => (a_0 ->... a_N -> r) -> [a_0] ->... [a_N] -> [r]`. Well, I don't know how to do that in Haskell -- maybe my most recent solution extends to that -- but nor do I know why you'd want to do that! If you have a known number of arguments the first solution works fine. If you have an unknown number of arguments then you must have them all together in one datastructure, so the most recent solution works fine. Haskellers would be very happy with either of those and I don't see how we're missing out on programming convenience because of that. Maybe you could elaborate?

Yes, thank you for the input.
But Gmail is interoperable with other mail systems and they didn't create incompatible extensions to email (AFAIAA); that's quite different to how IE6 was.

If Gmail required emails themselves to be in a special format that broke other MUA and IE6 wouldn't render standards compliant emails in a way you could read. That would be analogous to what IE6 was up to.
Panasonic AG-5710. Anything with a time-based corrector (TBC), or the ability to drive one (although external TBCs are expensive). Don't know much about that model, but the TBC is really key in getting good captures.
This is a good point. I accept this. Especially because I paid an exorbitant $700 for a set of 260 lbs from FringeSport because only their tacticool "MILSPEC" bumper plates were available.
Ping pong is also interesting.
Expensive paddles have sticky rubber that can help experienced players control the spin on a ball.
Cheap paddles don't have much grip. Very cheap paddles, the hard ones with short pips and no sponge, have virtually no grip.

Grip and imparting spin are important for letting you control the ball, but it's also a double edged sword.
It's easy to get someone who doesn't know how to counteract spin to hit the ball into the net or miss the table entirely if their paddle has some grip.
Inexperienced players are thus often better off with the cheap paddles -- they don't know how to use it to their advantage, so they're better off being immune to its effects.

That reminds me of the "expert beginner" posted and discussed on HackerNews not too long ago: https://daedtech.com/how-developers-stop-learning-rise-of-th...
That is, cheap equipment can be a local optima that players can get stuck in.

In a way, entanglement is inevitable if you superposition is possible.

For example: imagine particle decayed into two other particles. For conservation of momentum to hold, those two particles must go in opposite direction.

So if you measure direction of one particle, you instantly know direction of the other one. Otherwise you would vitness universe in invalid state.

There's been a real dip in strap quality. I remember the only thing that would kill one was complete destruction(crushing) or simply losing it.

Ones I've purchased in past 5~ years all have had straps fail. They've clearly switched to cheaper materials.

They made a new model 'W-217H', which is just a larger F91W. I enjoyed the larger face and wouldn't go back to a F91. But the strap too broke a few months after use.

And like you said, with the cheapest of straps being almost the cost of the watch, and there's no guarantee it'll easily fit.
It depends on the country.

> limit on total number of requests originating from Workers per second set at 2000, account-wide [0].

Oh, there is no such limit.

The post you link to is quoting another poster who is quoting something they heard from someone else. It sounds like something that may have originated with someone hearing about a particular implementation detail of our anti-abuse systems but the game of telephone has transformed it into something that's just not true at all.

As described in my comment on that thread, we do have certain anti-abuse heuristics which might result in a 1015 error. It's very unusual for people to hit these in legitimate use. Have you seen such an error? 100k requests per user per month doesn't sound like it would come anywhere near being an issue (even with 10M users).

FWIW the heuristics are designed such that simply adding more users (who behave the same as existing users) shouldn't ever cause a problem.

It's been a while since I moved up the stack to frontend development so I don't remember most of them but the primary one was the Saturn PCB toolkit [1]. There was one that we used in place of Saturn PCB toolkit that was far easier to automate but I can't find it now. I wrote lots of custom scripts to turn Excel formulas into Altium rules and there were quite a few crappy WinForm apps from fabs.

Edit: Nowadays I only do electronics for personal projects and since I stick to three fabs (a local one one I've got a relationship with and two Chinese specials), I've just got a few manually created DRC templates per fab, # of layers, and max signal speed with a few templates just for RF that I got from a mentor.

AIUI, the lacrosse equivalent of the Six Nations is the World Lacrosse Championship, where the Iroquois fielded a team - as did the Scots:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_World_Lacrosse_Championsh...

The Iroquois beat the Scots 14–7.

The World Games is sort of the Olympics' El Ocho - a competition between national teams in sports that aren't quite big enough to be in the Olympics. As such, they follow the Olympics' principles for recognising entrants, which require entrants to be states, rather than just nations (mostly [1]). Hence, neither the Iroquois nor the Scots get to enter a team of their own (in Olympic rugby sevens, Scots are part of the GB team).

So, the Iroquois don't get to enter a team in the World Games, despite inventing the sport. The Scots don't get to enter a golf team for the Olympics either.

The startup and VC culture has being the dominant model of a lot of companies. The difference with solid businesses and burning-money machines is that one gets funds to build, and the other builds to get funds.

> it is a good outcome to have an economy

It's a good outcome for employers, not employees. If I can quit my job in the morning and get one I'm happy with before lunch, that's good for me - but it also means that employers are desperate for labour.

A sober, careful, multi-month job search is not a good thing for most people. They can't afford it, because they have bills to pay this month, not next year.
Net revenues in the fiscal third quarter were $4.8 billion, a decrease of 17%, driven by the year-over-year declines in payments volume, cross-border volume and processed transactions. Net revenues decrease was approximately 16% on a constant-dollar basis.

Payments volume for the three months ended March 31, 2020, on which fiscal third quarter service revenues are recognized, grew 4% over the prior year on a constant-dollar basis.

COVID-19 continues to have an impact globally. In the fiscal third quarter we saw spending improve each month as most countries began to relax domestic restrictions. In the U.S., as the quarter progressed, payments volume meaningfully improved, driven by the relaxing of shelter-in-place restrictions in a number of states. This helped to lift card present spending while eCommerce excluding travel spend remained consistently elevated, as consumers continued to shift their spend online. International markets are at various stages of reopening and recovery, with many large markets having a trajectory comparable to the U.S. Global processed transaction growth has slightly lagged payments volume growth, as the mix of spending shifted away from smaller purchases. Cross-border volume has improved only marginally through the quarter as travel has been heavily affected by most country borders remaining closed, partially offset by strong eCommerce spend excluding travel.

You literally felt the pain though. And could appreciate the more expensive gear. But I agree with your point. In cross country skieing its much more fun if you have better gear. Some sports and professions is just gear dependent. You won't win a rally with a slow car.
It's really about dependencies. An example would be something like data analysis in Python - you want to read some data, do some fairly complex numeric computation on it, write the result out somewhere else. Under some circumstances the Lambda trade-offs might be pretty good here - you might get cold starts of a few seconds but that's still faster than spinning up a new server to run your one time job, and you're not paying to keep servers up all the time.

Some of the libraries you might want to use for that numeric analysis - things like Numpy, Pandas, are pretty large. There's not really a culture of small libraries in Python like a lot of JS libraries, probably because the tradeoffs make less sense the way Python things are traditionally deployed. And there's no concept of tree shaking where dependencies get shrunk to only what you're using either - although maybe you could theoretically make that work on the JS side after transpiling the Python.

But basically, if you have really any common data analysis library from Python you're going to be in that 1-50Mb range, and if you have quite a few you can easily be over 50Mb. That is a workload that sometimes works well as a Lambda, and I'm curious if it's one Cloudflare are thinking about for Workers too.

Why do you need WSL2? I don't want to touch Windows, unless there is no choice. WSL2 is just a bait MS are using to ensure Windows usage won't decline among developers. I'm not buying it.

If you are forced to use Windows (often corp IT are not competent enough or are simply not willing to spend extra resources on Linux support and are forcing Windows on users), then WLS2 is an option for running Linux. But I'd never pick it as a first choice.

There would be a number of differences with these products. First, Kubecost does not egress any data from your infrastructure, it's based on open source technologies (e.g. Prometheus), and because it is build specifically for Kubernetes it takes a pretty different approach for determining the cost of a tenant, workload, etc.

True, but I am looking at it in a simplified way by only talking about one individual here instead of looking at the whole economy's money supply. Makes reasoning about consumer price inflation easier for me, as an employer would usually not use the money for their own grocery shopping anyway.

It's less money available to the individual who has lost their job in this example. That may of course be caused by less velocity. Or it may be caused by a business closing down defaulting on their loans which actually shrinks overall money supply in the economy.

The resulting effect on prices is likely going to be the same anyway (in the short run).

It remains to be seen whether lower velocity will keep being the only deflationary driver over the long run. If businesses default en masse, then I think we will see real money supply deflation.
