Lua uses a "require()" function instead of an import statement for loading modules. I think that this is a crucial difference from a lot of programming languages that is vastly understated. What this means is that you can completely replace "require()" with your own function that has complete control over how the module importing system works. Because of this it is possible to build your own runtime code hotloader entirely in Lua without needing to modify the source of the compiler, and thus Lua is the only "mainstream" programming language listed in the list of notable live coding environments on Wikipedia[0]. (I'm surprised that Clojure isn't listed there, though.)

The only way this can be accomplished is by designing the import system from the start to use a function instead of a statement. It's too late for Python to redo things and change its import system, unfortunately. It really is the one language feature you have to get right the first time or you'll miss out on those kinds of enhancements forever.

From the blackbird copypasta:

Now the thing to understand about Center controllers, was that whether they were talking to a rookie pilot in a Cessna, or to Air Force One, they always spoke in the exact same, calm, deep, professional, tone that made one feel important. I referred to it as the " Houston Center voice." I have always felt that after years of seeing documentaries on this country's space program and listening to the calm and distinct voice of the Houston controllers, that all other controllers since then wanted to sound like that, and that they basically did. And it didn't matter what sector of the country we would be flying in, it always seemed like the same guy was talking. Over the years that tone of voice had become somewhat of a comforting sound to pilots everywhere. Conversely, over the years, pilots always wanted to ensure that, when transmitting, they sounded like Chuck Yeager, or at least like John Wayne. Better to die than sound bad on the radios.

For example I am into coffee roasting at home. The cheapest device to roast coffee at home is a popcorn maker, not all, just some brands that meet some power requirements. When I look at those devices on Amazon, they recommend me green coffee beans, which is correct and helpful. I guess Amazon is using colaborative filtering.

Why do they count as unattractive? It seems that the "definition" of eyesore is wholey independent of aesthetics and entirely based upon if it is functional and new.

Modern art fixtures often deliberately defy all rules of structure and aesthetics and don't get tarred with this. I only have weird hypothesises as for why.

Clojure is a fantastic language, as far as dynamically typed languages go. ClojureScript turned me off to both languages however. I routinely encountered scenarios where accidentally passing values of the wrong type to core standard lib functions produced wildly unexpected behavior that would take hours or even days to debug. Reporting these issues almost always resulted in “don’t do that WONTFIX”, and often very hostile responses if I pressed the issue or even offered to contribute a fix. Ultimately I decided I’d be more productive in a language that embraces correctness as a core feature. And ultimately that led me to take the great FP techniques and philosophy I learnt in clojure and apply them as idiomatically as I could in a statically types language. Now most of my work is in TypeScript, and while I miss a lot of what Clojure has to offer, I would never go back

I like this. Real FPGAs use the same realization of an n-input LUT as a 2^n bit shift register plus a mux, which is why e.g. Xilinx lets you have an SRL16 for the same cost as a LUT4--the shift register is primarily intended to hold the LUT configuration bitstream, but you can repurpose it as user logic.

Ask HN: How to find a bizdev partner in the US?
Hey!

We are the most cost-effective platform for tech companies to hire pre-vetted freelancers. Based in Ireland, currently have customers in Ireland, Germany, France, Russia and US.

Looking for a partner to accelerate growth on US market.

Is it real to find a good partner for %?
Any advice please?
Maintenance in the middle of the road sucks ...
Nuclear is low-carbon energy being killed in the US by cheap fracked natural gas. It's a low-carbon partner with wind and solar. Wouldn't make sense for the nuclear industry to attack renewables.

Attacking fracked gas would make more sense.
No, quite the opposite. I look forward to reading your news posts. And this is generally how I find out about them. Please keep up the great work.
Deserts are a perfect place for greenhouses as well as solar panels. Just not both of them combined. That concept might make sense in very densly populated areas, where people want to use the most out of their garden greenhouse. But on industrial scale, I am very sceptical, the efficency should be a lot higher to justify the building costs and increased complexity.

Yes there are still dreams about bringing your home directory on a stick anywhere with you and just plugging it into nearest public toilet when you need it.

But it hasn't and won't work for obvious reasons.
One exception would be if your product has really good and obvious search keywords that are being searched at a reasonably high volume. Google ads can work really well in this scenario. Even better if no one else is buying ads for those keywords.

At the very least, I'd charge them something for the error. Banks aren't shy about charging customers for errors. A 1% return fee maybe, on top of whatever it costs me.
Rust is great. While working with Secure Enclave’s isn’t the same as a microcontroller per se (many SE’s work in tandem with powerful chipsets), at MobileCoin we’ve found a lot of benefits from using Rust.

Rust appears to provide the ability to largely move to a world where the bugs are in logic and not in buffer/array verification or multi-threading. It feels like a real advancement to move up a layer of abstraction from plumbing to design.

Time will tell, certainly it’s not impossible to have bugs in rust by any stretch of the imagination, but I have found that bugs in rust code tend to be more interesting than “out of bounds memory exception at line X.”

Google blocking login for some browsers?
Ive been trying to login to Google services on Firefox with a spoofed Chrome useragent, which I ironically use to prevent Google from degrading search and youtube.

It won't let me get past login screen. Just says to "try a different browser". Has Google started blocking browsers that pretend to be Chrome? Can anyone else replicate this? This is scary, because Google gives crappy versions of many of their sites to non chrome browsers.

It happens to vegans, too.

There was recently a campaign against soy milk, because cows can eat grass and grass is better than soy on certain metrics. That much, alone, is true.

But if you're drinking equal volumes of soy milk and dairy milk, dairy is worse on every metric but price - Animal cruelty, health, clean water polluted, space needed, energy needed, carbon and other air pollutants released, etc.

I can't speak for the UK where the campaign was, but in the US the cheap dairy milk is probably not coming from grass-fed cows. The cheap milk is coming from factory-farmed cows that are probably eating lots of soy, and then the government also subsidizes it to drive down the cost in a misguided attempt to give poor people cheaper food without giving them any agency in their decision-making like an actual welfare program would. (I'm upset about this)

To further muddy the waters, some of the Amazon rainforest fires were started to clear land to grow soybeans - To feed to cattle.
ZFS development moves so fast that it is common for my (FreeBSD-based) FreeNAS box to warn me when I upgrade my OS that certain actions will make it incompatible with the prior version of FreeNAS.

That is fine and appropriate for a drive that will be connected to the system for the foreseeable future.

That kind of compatibility concern makes me squeamish about using ZFS for a drive that I want to share between different systems. If it's easy to make it incompatible between two releases for the same system, that smells like a waiting nightmare trying to keep it compatible between Linux, FreeBSD and Windows.
Another classic is something like "rm -rf /$BUILD_DIR" when the variable is undefined (maybe from a typo or from an argument not passed in).
I appreciate the downvotes, but there is a reason that most people in this job (that costs tens if not hundreds of thousands of pounds to train for) sound reassuringly like a middle class man. I am not trying to make anyone feel bad for noticing the pattern, and certainly not for enjoying planes or computer games, but given that the UK government, industry groups like IATA, and several airlines all admit the issue, let's all take a deep breath.
Note also the switch from fossil coal to fossil natural gas. Coal dying because of gas is not even remotely a climate win. It's like going from astoundingly awful to terrible.
If you're using postgres (and maybe others?) it can be handy to use the "returning" keyword -- e.g. "update foo set x = y where z returning *" -- to get an immediate look at the updated rows. Maybe not so good though if touching more than a few dozen rows intentionally.

Wordpress didn't charge anything, it was to control Wordpress instances via their XML-API. Apple just thought "hey they link to some site to which you can buy stuff, lets force them to IAP". This right there is insanity.

Do the police in your country have guns? (Trick question. The police in every country, even Japan, have guns.)

If an armed attacker breaks into your home, would not the first thing you do be to call someone to bring a gun over quickly to protect you and bring an end to the risk?

This is no different than keeping a fire extinguisher in your home versus relying 100% on the fire brigade to protect you.

Firearms are safety equipment, nothing more. The fact that you equate a common tool, used in every civilization in the world, to “some wild west fantasy”, says more about the baggage you attach to it than that which exists in reality.
Just a question: you wouldn't happen to have coaxial cable in the house, right? If so, you could use an adapter to run ethernet over it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008C1JC4O/

I agree with the other poster, if you want reliability then there is no substitute for ethernet. Anything else will simply have lower reliability.

That said, I'd personally try HomePlug (ethernet over powerline) solution first. I was not able to get that stable and have tried two generations of the technology.

If it works -- fine, if not, I'd try mesh products like Eero next. They're owned by Amazon though, which I personally wouldn't like. I did hear some good reviews on the ATP.fm podcast, who usually are quite critical.

A more interesting comparison, moving forward, in my mind, is with nuclear waste. Solar and nuclear both make low carbon electricity and prevent air pollution heath impacts of combustion. Yet most people oppose nuclear because of the waste products.

Here we have to compare solar making large amounts of moderately toxic waste from solar that remains toxic forever vs. nuclear making very small amounts of extremely toxic waste that becomes less toxic over time. Clearly more people dislike nuclear waste, but the E=MC² thing makes it so small that it can be completely internalized.

At the very least, it is valuable to talk about the negative externalities of decarbonizing at scale with solar as we debate the details of the clean energy transition.

I agree. Ada has been around and picked apart for high-integrity software jobs. I am personally learning SPARK2014, the subset of Ada. It has formal verification as part of the toolset. I would think Rust would need to develop similar formal tools and not just the PL to be used in the same industries as Ada/SPARK2014. I know somebody is going to link to the use of Rust for something in aerospace. I know Julia is touting something to do with air traffic control, but the core of these high-integrity applications need the full gamut of design tools around the PL. I still like Rust, but I am also playing with Zig.
The entire airplane is that system.
