The medical folks in GA should pull her medical license until she learns the difference between PCR testing and how vaccines work. Doctors are usually expected to defer to specialists for subjects in which they are not sufficiently trained.

I'm sure if she hadn't blocked comments, many people smarter than her would point out the rather egregious errors. But she's clearly more bent on spreading disinformation than getting "the truth" out there.
Well no, it's just that Elixir is built on Erlang, so everything Erlang has is in Elixir

If you learn the base language, you get more powerful in the descendant language as well

This starts to redefine slavery as "being forced to do something I would prefer not to do" (given a better alternative). But what drives us to work is the basic human needs for food, shelter as well as higher order needs once the basic ones are satisfied. So should we therefore take the next step and conclude we are all slaves of ourselves and our physiology? I think it's true, but then why do most people who believe that "employment is slavery" not also take this next step? Could it be because it's more psychologically satisfying to some people to be able to blame their unhappiness with work etc on someone else, rather than accepting a fundamental reality of the human condition? :)

> I’m doing a typescript project in VSCode and the refactoring and code understanding is just... not enough.

What's your exact complaint?

Find and Replace or repeatedly hitting Ctrl+D covers 90% of my refactoring needs and I work on mostly TypeScript / JavaScript code. The other 10% is covered by "Extract to function" which I rarely use because it's easy enough to cut and paste.

Renaming a file is a very easy 2 step process. 1) Rename the file. 2) Find and replace `/filename"` with `/new-filename"`.

I almost exclusively use named exports, so renaming a symbol is a simple find and replace.

What else could you possibly need that wouldn't be more complicated than just typing? Also, have you explored extensions for this? Here's one now - https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=cancerbe...

I personally fully agree!

But I imagine a PM at Amazon was presented with the question "Should ratings of all versions of books be merged?".

Unless they really really cared (or personally had experienced dramatic differences between versions of books before), they probably said "Yeah sure".

(I'm also biased a bit in that I assume that implementing this more fine-grained would cost more than $0).
Or we can just be gratefull there's a solution for everyone's tastes instead of fighting about who's opinion is best :)
I can’t tell if your comments stem from ignorance or willfully ignoring facts but in either case kindly stop and listen because what you are saying is incorrect and wrong.

Do YOU know how many police officers get killed trying to make peaceful arrests? Do YOU know how many black people get killed by the police during peaceful arrests? Because I guarantee you that you do not. I am too tired of people like you commenting like this so I’m not going to put in the work of looking things up for you. Please educate yourself on this matter before speaking about it.
Sad, but fully understandable.

> I hope we see more of this in the future: developers realising that the work they do has value and that they're not required to spend their lives giving it away for free

[I hope we see more of this] - Really? mac users... they are just really special...

I think open source developers know that fully well. What is new is perhaps the expectations leveled against them if their project becomes popular.

There might be some idealism in open source software, but it certainly brings results. If it doesn't fit your expectations, you can improve it yourself. Leveling expectations towards developers would be rude though.

There are practices in software that don't have value. Software signing and notarization for example hasn't provided anything in my opinion aside from "security®" and some gate keeping.
"Women are directly adapted to act as the nurses and educators of our early childhood, for the simple reason that they themselves are childish, foolish, and short-sighted — in a word, are big children all their lives, something intermediate between the child and the man, who is a man in the strict sense of the word."

Not entirely surprising. My parents bought me a Nintendo because ... well, they wanted one. I started on an Atari VCS 2600 because they got one while my mother was pregnant. Two years old and all of us (sister included) would be playing Missile Command, Clowns, Pac-Man or Centipede as a family.

I got things like Zelda, Metroid and R.C. Pro-AM because my father wanted them. For years after I was sent to bed, I'd hear the hum and screeching of R.C. Pro-AM coming from the living room. Or the sounds of Snake Rattle N' Roll.

He's a bit frustrated with his mind going, but my father still plays and 100%s Zelda games without looking for a guide. My mom spends a lot of time with Roller Coaster Tycoon, Stardew Valley and recently FTL, but she still breaks out the Wii for Virtual Console favorites of hers (mostly "black box" NES games).

With a fixed income, video games are astonishing amount of entertainment per dollar, and old games don't get, "less fun" over time. I still have all my old games (and still play them) for that reason.

Marketing Is More Important Than Your Code
The biggest downside with Google's offering (I don't know about Zoho) is that there is no way to easily export all of your documents to an array of bytes that can be saved in another system – also known as a file.

Seriously – if you use Docs or Sheets and want to move off, you've either got to manually export everything to an interchangeable format, or just give up and leave a bunch of stuff behind.

This is a particular pain when shifting between Google accounts, or closing an account down (for example, at the end of a job.)
I dunno what I have seen and what matches the experience of most other people I know who have been there, is some parts of the crowd do SOMETHING illegal or 'inappropriate', sure, the cops respond with force or chemical weapons, which escalates the situation by angering/triggering the crowd to be more aggressive towards the police, rinse repeat.

I am not denying some kind of provocation from the crowd. What we're talking about is if the police respond with escalation or de-escalation. Separate from an issue of "fault", just an objective observation of what happens.

I'm not talking about whole-scale insubordination from the police. I'm saying individual cops and unit-leaders have discretion of when to respond with what force -- like cops do generally.

I think one reason the national guard makes a difference is because they have very different training, risk-tolerance, different ingrained norms about when it's appropriate to use force against civilians. Military is trained to try to avoid using force against civilians; police not so much because that's literally their job. We are seeing lately how often the police respond to any perceived risk with overwhelming force -- that is what they are trained to do. National guard, when facing civilians, are trained to use it as a last resort, police seem trained (whether explicitly or implicitly) to use it as a first resort, at least when dealing with certain populations (protestors, poor people) where traditionally mainstream society sees them as "dangerous". Honestly, I think the national guard is a lot more likely to respond to "provocation" from civilians with de-escalation or just holding ground; the police much more likely to respond by escalation, some form of violence against the crowd in general, in a way that brings an escalated reaction.
saying erlang is a telecom software language is like saying that computers are textile design engines.
Hi, I'm a seasoned erlanger, and we do not all tell you that.

The things you quoted and didn't write yourself are not real problems here.

Erlang in general doesn't actually have referential transparency, and it's not clear why this author thought that it did.

It's not clear why the process dictionary would "destroy referential transparency." Erlang doesn't have references, and the PD is just a storage model.

Surviving catch/throw is a benefit, not a problem

I'm not sure why this author is asserting that it "makes debugging difficult." That's just bullshit. What makes debugging difficult is state, and if you need to track state, switching storage methods won't make that easier.

"Try the clean version first" - what do you imagine is the clean version here?

You're just repeating things you don't understand, cargo cult style.

I haven't thrown any hand grenades over the wall. Overly sensitive Elixir programmers always throw a fit whenever someone says "you know, other tools are available to you too."

None of the above. Thanks for the collection of unjustified insults while complaining about my hand grenades, though
I don't know about other atheists, but I get some comfort knowing that the universe will continue to exist long after I die.
I don't believe that there is a god but that doesn't rule out the possibility of some kind of afterlife or reincarnation or alternative form of consciousness. There are still a lot of possibilities on the table and these possibilities are a source of hope.

When you think that your consciousness is special, irreplaceable and irreproducible, death becomes a lot more frightening.

On the other hand, if you believe, based on empirical evidence, that your consciousness can be manufactured out of a piece of meat with some chemicals and electricity as the result of a totally random natural process (evolution), that gives a lot of hope.
can't you just release under a second, AGPL license for that?
That is essentially the main study of the today’s time: set & setting.

We don’t outright ban these like the way our parents did, but we don’t know how to consistently trigger good outcomes for a variety of personalities. The only way to resolve that is by testing and controlling for set and setting.

I'm not angry, take whatever you want.
I fundamentally disagree - games are simulations, and games that limit the simulation in favor of a planned “story” lose a lot of interesting nature of games, especially as they try to get closer to the hardcoded mediums - film, lit, etc. Procedural generation naturally ties into that simulation — though a lot of procgen games misunderstand its purpose, using procgen to “make the game for them”, rather than to produce various environments to interact with the simulation (they end up focusing on the procgen rules as an end to itself, rather than the simulation rules which is actually of interest). Borderlands is probably the most obvious failure in this — they entirely misunderstood the appeal of procgen/sim reducing it almost entirely to loot-gambling for % modifiers, with little to no real impact on the gameplay itself, except by accident (eg the difference between 1-shot and 2-shotting enemies). No man’s sky is another recent game in the same boat — they essentially had no rules to the simulation, and bet almost entirely on sufficient amount of “content” to be generated in an almost purely aesthetic fashion. Spore was also a failure in many, many ways, but the lack of real “rules” to its systems is one of them. It is the simulation rules that one wants to explore, not the visual rendering of it.

That is, Dwarf Fortress is the one true video game.

Multiplayer games on the other hand are like a game dev cheat code — you really don’t need to do much at all to produce a “fun” multiplayer game, because the player-interaction will bring all of the complexity and emergence facilities you need. All you need for multiplayer to work really is to not stop players from doing interesting things with the system, apparently a herculean difficulty for most companies.
Another classic example is free in the GNU sense vs the BSD sense.
I like the language just fine.

You seem to be operating on the presumption that being aware of problems in a language is some kind of dragging a language.

If you don't know any problems in some language, you're just trapped in blub, is all.
If one only uses the base language, no need to worry about the fate of the descendant language or how it exposes base language features.

I think I understand the sketch of the proof and pretty familiar with the P=NP debate. Perhaps my point is pedantic, and I've also looked at the paper and seen that it doesn't try to prove an "iff" claim, but:

To prove an "iff" you have to prove that Markets are efficient -> P = NP and P=NP -> Markets are efficient . I buy the first claim entirely, but not the second.

Let's assume P really does = NP, but as you've said "nobody has done that yet." Then, markets today must be inefficient, but that is T -> F which is impossible if P=NP -> Markets are efficient □

In lay words, how can it be true that `markets are efficient if and only if P=NP`, if it is possible that `P=NP but markets aren't efficient`.
States experiment with automation to bolster cybersecurity
It's not a matter of skill but of experience. An engineer after a few years has usually been exposed to a lot of the countless failures projects/teams/management/companies that can happen, and so hopefully will have a much better idea of how to increase the chances of success.
If you want to use it for family tree research you basically have to go to the companies that have the largest databases, because that's where you'll find familial matches (e.g. 23andme and AncestryDNA).

23andme has a better track record of refusing governmental requests than AncestryDNA.

In terms of genetic information sharing, none of the providers shares non-anonymized data. 23andme allows an opt-out for sharing anonymized data.

You can also do the tests pseudo-anonymously, while they ask you to provide your real name, etc. you don't actually have to do so. You can purchase a test kit at a retail store for cash and register online with a fake name if you wish to do so.

This is incorrect.

Windows is GDPR compliant. See section 3 of https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/privacy/windows-10-...

GRDP compliance isn't too bad for a company like Microsoft who has decent data auditing ability. It's pretty easy for them to give you your windows data and delete it if required, and that's what is required for basic GRDP compliance.

If there is public advice otherwise a citation would be useful.

Note that your subsequent comment claiming that FISA request make GPDR compliance impossible is also incorrect as they are explicitly excluded (as law enforcement) by the GPDR: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protectio...).&text=However%2C%20it%20is%20covered%20by,for%20national%20security%20and%20defence.

It's not really hard to strive for honest titles, but I guess clicks matter in desperate times for the New York Times. What a shame for journalism there.
I did not expect clickbait to make its way to the number 1 spot on HN.

I upvoted the story because I found it interesting. Hearing about someone being successful at something is great, and for them to be successful at something you wouldn't necessarily expect is even better. The implication that I, or any of the other ~50 people who voted for this story, am being 'careless' by upvoting something I like is wholly unfair. I don't have to vote based on what you think should be at the top of the front page. HN is not a carefully curated list of stories that dkroy might like.
rawls' social utility theory stated that by maximizing the welfare of the worst-off person, you improve all of society; at the time i learned it it seemed like a strange idea.

but then i thought: every moment in your life can be valued according to how much life you have ahead of it. the present moment is the most valuable; and the very last moment, the least -- you have nothing ahead of it. i thought: if you live your life such that the last moment, which is the least valuable in that sense, is as good as possible -- perhaps that would improve the totality of the rest of your life.

this has all been covered by the buddhist concepts on this thread but i thought it was interesting that we can come to this same idea somewhat independently. (maybe rawls was inspired by buddhism? i don't know.)

This is part of the reasons why A/B testing might fail in reality, it is not just about collecting random number of responses about A and B.

I like this take. Personally, I know that I'd _for sure_ take a job with a greater amount of pay, benefits, and work-life balance if I was going to be "down-leveled". Heck, if I'm down-leveled and being paid more, that likely means I'm working with more skilled engineers.

This definitely happens! As a non-specific example, there's often an extra step to avoid this by making a "credentials" file with restricted permissions. If you don't do that, you're often stuck passing the password as a commandline argument.

Command line Wifi config comes to mind, but I've encountered this situation in other contexts before. It happens also when you want to connect internet-facing servers. Usually when you're forced to enter the pw via commandline argument.
