None of this is written in stone. YMMV. You make what you want of it.

> Working from home isolates you. There is no way around this. You lose the one huge opportunity in adult life for making new relationships - and that's at work, in the office.

Completely false. I now have people in New York, Michigan, and Pennsylvania that I've built good friendships with in my all-remote company. It's actually opened up routes to friendships I didn't think were possible. I would also argue that it's actually better when I'm not just locked into making friends at work, there's more incentive to make friends outside of work too now which is great for pushing me out of my comfort zone.

> For the company, people that work remote start drifting away from the company vision and spirit - you get an army of people working individually most of the time, not socializing, not establishing strong bonds. If personal contact wasn't important, we could raise our kids remotely.

Same as above. We have "happy hour" sessions at my current job where we all socialize and bring a beer to chat over Zoom. Outside of that, we bs and socialize daily in various meetings or across Slack. Again this all depends on you and your team members. If you want it to happen, make it happen.

> I have some friend who have been working at a company who went remote-first and after 5 years they do not feel identified with the company anymore. It's just a job. You could work for someone else and you wouldn't even notice.

I don't know about you, but for me an office job also ends up being "just a job". Personally I couldn't care less about "feeling identified with the company". I have zero loyalty to my employers and my friendships are not restricted to arbitrary boundaries defined by where I work.

> Also, working from home is only as convenient as your life situation allows it. Have kids? Bad luck. Live in the city because you enjoy city life? Sorry you have to convert you bedroom into your office during the day because you can't afford to have an additional room. You are a people's person and feel more energetic and productive when working with others face to face? Well, sorry, your team is mostly remote.

Haha this is rich. I've had to deal with the opposite problem for years where the vast majority of employers are office-only and my family needs require a remote setup. I had to make arrangements with my boss to work remotely and constantly live in anxiety fearing anytime the company had a re-org and I got a new boss, the arrangement would end and fuck up my life (and it did). Over the years I've had to limit my search to remote only employers to avoid that scenario. You can do the same and seek out office-only employers.

> It is important and it has tons of benefits for the team, as opposed to the benefits for the individuals.

Yeah that's great except the benefits for the team have slanted in favor of the team for many years, neglecting benefits for the individuals. There's nothing wrong with balancing out the best of both worlds. Going back to all the points I touched on, you and your team make what you want of it.
Some of this can be mitigated by coworking spaces and a little less so by coffee shops or libraries.
Yes, although I have my gripes with IA, I fully support the CDL model, and I think there is strong legal justification for it.

The inherent differences the publishers list -- the speed at which ebooks can be lent, the fact that they don't physically degrade, and that they must be read on a device -- are real, but they don't strike me as relevant to the actual legal principle that governs library lending. The first-sale doctrine holds that if you purchase a creative work, you can lend or resell it, and doing so does not violate an author's copyright. Even if there are real differences in how ebooks and physical books are transferred, maintained, and read, I don't see why those differences are material to the first-sale doctrine's granting owners of creative works the right to lend them.
Physical books do not come with licenses. Lending falls under first sale doctrine.
>>>rent, food, etc. will all just magically get more expensive.

It's called supply and demand, nothing magical about it. The only thing magical is leftists thinking this won't happen.
I think you're misunderstanding the author here. He doesn't argue that people shouldn't use Haskell because it's used in crypto currencies, quite the opposite he seems to love Haskell and want people to use it. His worry is that being associated with crooks will make the Haskell community less attractive.
No, the second fetch is spawned before the first awaited. So by the time execution gets deferred both fetches are running.
Could you rot13 what you mean by this? I don't understand what the last line of the story reveals, unless I missed part of it?
Somewhere around the year 1999 or 2000, my family did a day trip in the family minivan from TN to Kentucky. The purpose of the trip was to buy a couple lottery tickets I think.

We stopped at a gas station somewhere in Kentucky not too far from the Tennessee border. It was the one and only time I had a Godfathers Pizza.

It was good. To be fair, my family didn’t eat out much at all so any pizza was good pizza.
Of the potential footguns with async/await, I'd rate this as low to non-existent. This falls into the category of straightforward code which gets a task done and which hasn't been optimized to within an inch of its life.
Most people won't give a bad personal reference anymore because they are too afraid of being sued. We just say yes, the person worked here from this time to that time.
The Perseverance mass is just for the rover, but there's a few other components that get it to Mars and on to the surface (the cruise stage, sky crane, etc).

I can't seem to find the Mars 2020 numbers but for MSL (which should be similar) the overall launch mass was 3839 kg of which 899kg was the Curiosity rover itself.

Yes, there's a nice funny joke of this nature in the JSON license: "The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil." [1]

I remember IBM had to obtain a separate license without this clause, to insure themselves against potential nice funny lawsuits claiming the breach of that clause.

WTAF does this have to do with Haskell? Please consider a retitle to "Haskell Developer Does Not Like Cryptocurrency."
vim was designed to work like vi, which is older than the standard behavior you are talking about. What seems reasonable is basically just what you are used to.
the execution starts when the function is called - not when "await" is prepended to its result.
Have you seen the Nessie Press recycler tool? It's a manual tool that cleanly removes the grounds from the pod in one quick motion, so it can make it into your household recycling along with the aluminum cans. I'm surprised Nestlé doesn't include one in the box.

That's what I thought they were going for at first too!

"What's wrong with this code? It tries to make `async` look more readable by skipping the ugly try/catch block/s" ;)
The problem is information wants to be read and be free.

It doesn't necessarily want to be written, though. That's the part people who make this argument always seem to forget.

Whether it's through our existing copyright-supported frameworks or some other mechanism, there needs to be enough in it for authors (and editors and cover illustrators and printers and online distribution services and...) to be worth producing the work in the first place.
Any word on whether the equivalent update on Debian has similar issues?
In this case, "uncontrolled" digital lending is the appropriate term, because the IA admits that they removed those controls as part of the National "Emergency" Library program.

Also, why does it matter if 130 libraries said they were okay with the CDL program, since that's not at issue here?

Library CDL programs were still online and functioning the entire time. Only the physical facilities were closed.
The accusation is that the whole crypto space is shady. There is no value being created, instead investors are being defrauded. And part of the con game is pretending to have very intelligent people keep making progress building very complicated things. Haskell works great to give that impression, though Rust seems to work just fine these days, too.
Ask HN: Why does Cloudflare show 3.5x more unique users than Google Analytics?
When looking at my site's analytics, the nubmer of unique visitors tracked in Cloudflare is approximately 3.5 times the number tracked in Google Analytics.

Is this mostly due to:

- Adblockers preventing the GA javascript from executing?

- Bots making requests that get picked up by Cloudflare?

- User error on my part? (something misconfigured)
Except if its just a price shock than the increased profitability of apples will attract investment in apple farming to produce more apples because of unmet demand and fair market conditions. The price would go up, the profitability margin would be exploited by increased competitive production up to near break even costs, and prices would fall back to where they are today just with way more apples being grown.

In practice in pretty much every industry in the US incumbents put up regulatory barriers behind themselves to prevent competition from emerging.

Thanks for sharing! I'm building a small "newsfeed-widget-thingy" and I'm sure I'll learn something from your work.
Let's say you sign your vote by mail, acknowledge all the legal stuff in there. Say you also live in a suburb with no locks on mailboxes. Say someone steals your actual ballot out of your mailbox, or before it gets to your mailbox, and you never get it. You contact the election board.

Say someone sends in that ballot.

What is the process for getting another ballot? Are they coded so they can tell which ballot belonged to who, and how do you deal with the stolen ballot and possible invalid vote?
I don't see how that would be irrelevant.
I talked about async stack trace and the original blog post talked about it.
BTW a guy thanked me because he found my comment useful.

And with Apple it doesn't even have to be additional CPU instructions since Apple controls whole SoC. If your upcoming code uses any Apple specific stuff (e.g. DSP, security chip, NN) with Apple only API then it basically becomes "very hard" to port. So goodbye for Hackintosh.
Why is this article so highly upvoted? The problem clearly isn't with Async/Await itself.
> The main question I have with tools like this is around safety.

Not the most convincing sell but not that they did not address this concern at all.
> Inevitably though, all prices consolidate and all players in the market will charge more to meet the increase in wages, it’s just a slow process.

All prices? No. Clothing is now effectively free, for example.
Prices of necessities are the only things you want to watch. Basic food products, healthcare, etc. Those prices have risen around the same as the rate of inflation or spiraled out beyond. Food prices cannot outstrip the inflation ever, because of food subsidy and/or ebt which is tied to it.
What I like about those is that you can stack more cards in the same space.

And the embossed cards tend to have their ink rub off anyway.
Brouter is great, despite some minor annoyances that are ultimately rooted in the design decision that the OSM graph representation does not contain street names (a lot of bike routing happens in nameless trails). Locusmaps on android has the best routing front-end (it can use brouter or some others) I have seen so far, including a variety of desktop front-ends.
Completely. I had no idea what the "problem" was because it was so obvious that the intention of the code was to have them run sequentially.

Next up: exception handling doesn't work if you never catch exceptions! Followed by, assigning a pointer to another variable doesn't assign the value the pointer points to! :P
This is not true, since in JS promises are dispatched as soon as they are created. So as long as you call the fetch function, it doesn't matter that you are calling `await` sequentially.
That seems different, and not like a problem at all.

My understanding is that `await` refers to the resolution of a promise, not its start.
Statistically and scientifically illiterate, yes. There is this overall belief that one person's opinion, however gained, is equal to another person's opinion, however gained. If one opinion is the result of multiple well designed scientific studies and the other is the result of some late night YouTube indulgement then no, they're not equal.

Aside from the content for a moment, and assuming it was written by Bezos himself (and I tend to believe it was, largely) I do enjoy reading his prose. His shareholder letters, his “No thank you, Mr. Pecker”, and this - all very pleasant to read.
So Haskell may have a lot of ties to cryptocurrency and related things.

That makes me wonder:

If a language has a large group of what might be seen as unsavory groups, people, or just a lot of folks with a specific ideology / opinion(s). (let's just assume it is true for argument's sake here, I don't know enough / I'm not really saying it is true about Haskell)

DOES that change how the language develops?

Does it change, anything?

Have we ever seen that happen before?

Granted even if not I'm not dismissing the article, just wondering.
Any suggestions for dealing with this problem?

There no reason that you cant have a heathy view of the working relationship and identify with they company or in fact your team.

I asked GPT-3 to write an article about the impact of GPT-3
I've been ruminating on this exact problem for months. I'm consulting at a company where we have a lot of non-engineers who own several major processes w/r/t data sources of truth. Engineers need up-to-date programmatic access to that data, and the non-engineers need a way to keep that information accurate.

This is awesome. I was considering building it myself, but it's always a pleasure to see someone else deliver a working product on an idea you've been bouncing around. Good luck, this is a relatively 'simple' product with a huge market.
It's political but it's not capital-P political.

Politics is a sufficiently broad idea that virtually all the machinery of society would qualify, but what's being spoken about here is the kind of politics that has to do with propaganda and information control. And indeed, this is not that.

There are many different usages of the word. The one in legal theory that, for example, is used by courts to exclude cases of a "political" nature is of course different from the one used in academia or else all cases would be forbidden!
This will sound strange in an Americans ears but ... state sponsored news for one. Unlike the US news stations and state sponsored news that is poorly hidden propaganda, state sponsored news some places are very unbiased and not full of clickbait. Of course it is rare outside Scandinavia sadly.

Definitely, they will consolidate their T2 functionality and also functionality traditionally left to the chipset into one SoC.
Alexander Bogdanov, in The Philosophy of Living Experience (1913) posits a social labor-first basis for most human concepts. He thought that language moved from gestures and imitations of the actual sounds that different labor processes made to onomatopoetic words due to the need of a foreperson to coordinate and direct labor being done by groups.

When people work, their hands are occupied, they may not be that near to each other, and they may not be able to look away from their immediate workspace.

I think of construction workers yelling back and forth to each other at a worksite as a glimpse at language being invented.

If you're trying to say that IBM invented the home computer or the personal computer, you are off by about 6 years. (Home computers became available around 1975; home computers that didn't not need any assembly by the buyer became available in 1976 or 1977; the IBM PC became available in 1981.)

If you're trying to say that IBM was the first to officially name a personal computer "PC", I'll give you that one.

Criticism of Graham isn’t nearly as convincing as criticism of Mead. Wisdom through observation is time-honored and valuable and does not require supporting data.

I am not going to wade into Mead, who certainly sounds like a racist, but may have research to back up his claims not cited.

The best part of the article is the last paragraph encouraging vigorous skepticism, which is true not only for assertions from observation, but also to the supposed data driven experts who have had a terrible track record as of late.
