I have another take on it... Haskell is fundamentally misguided and not a real-world production language.

What engineers need is not something which makes stuff elegant, but what makes stuff simple. Having to work with advanced mathematical concepts to achieve rather simple functionality basically means that the pool of people able to use it effectively (and willing to spend efforts on learning how to do that... instead of, say, solving the actual real-world problems) is small.

Thus the niche appeal to the language astronauts - and thus their arrogance of people who mastered something with steep learning curve feeling superior to mere peons. Except it's the peons who deliver real products and get paid for that.

In these big companies, one can find pretty much any language being used somewhere.

Rust as a language is mature and pretty stable.

However, the ecosystem... not so much. Pretty much every crate is still at version 0.x, with breaking changes happening constantly. Major dependencies get abandoned.

What is often overlooked is that Rust projects have a very high maintenance cost. Once a project has been written, keeping all the dependencies up to date is a lot of work, that often requires complete rewrites of parts of your applications.
reminds me of corpus sanum sine mente sana:

Fantastic. This is the beauty of open source. `youtube-dl` has had quite a number of breaking issues, where fully working PRs were raised and tested but not merged for weeks and with no communication.

I am glad to see `youtube-dlc`. Please, support the self updater as well (if it is not supported already). For my archival servers, I have a cron job that updates every day, I hope I can do that with youtube-dlc too.
Well, we don't know that we couldn't if we were able to easily take a blood test of the brain. I think there's two parts to the theory, the stricter interpretation that goes something like "depression is just the symptom of too little serotonin - which can be fixed by SSRIs" is quite weak. But the fact that brain chemistry affects mood, and in particular that increasing some chemicals can induce pleasant feelings is pretty robust - we have drugs like cocaine and heroin to thank for that insight. However translating that knowledge into meaningful treatments of depression is not straightforward as the body has a lot automatic control systems trying to keep things in balance.

So at one level we could claim that indeed depression is caused by "too low" serotonin/dopamine levels, as temporarily increasing them will take away the depression, but on the other hand this insight in itself doesn't provide us with a clear path for diagnosis and treatment, and it doesn't preclude that there's other things that's a root cause, such as thought patterns, neurological setup, etc.

Google 'black market'.
IMO what killed Haskell was weird syntax, and the lack of examples of practical problems that are solved in Haskell. No matter which tutorial you look at, it'd be this impenetrable high brow solution to some really trivial problems that do not exist in the real world. Spherical cow in a vacuum, if you will. If you wanted to learn by example, there, by and large, wasn't an example to learn from. There still isn't. Epic fail.

Rust is in no danger of that. Lots of practical problems are being solved in Rust. Lots of great examples are available. And while syntax around borrow/reference annotations can be difficult to grasp, the rest of the syntax is not too bizarre and is largely conformant to what people are used to.
No downsides except that the public rust function needs to be decorated with the #[no_mangle] attribute for it to be consumed by a c or c++ codebase.
I don’t know if PayPal ever claimed otherwise, but I’ve suspected that much of the AI powered moderation online is simply advanced keyword matching.

We have to start accepting that either websites are unwilling to or unable to do moderation in any meaningful way, unless they hire human moderators at huge costs.

Hearing an interview with the country for Facebook on Danish radio just two weeks ago, it’s pretty clear to me that it’s not that Facebook aren’t willing to implement the moderation politicians requests, the problem is that they can’t. And if Facebook can’t implement moderation, there’s no way PayPal is able to with a much smaller budget.
You have to thank the OFAC regulations for that - they have created issues for both businesses and customers in the name of political goals that don't have any relation to them.
Thanks, that will certainly reduce my frustration a little bit!

The model was trained on a fairly image (~1e6) dataset of diverse high-resolution natural images (the Openimages dataset) - so there was no particular training domain, and generalizes to images of arbitrary size/resolution/content well. There is a larger set of samples generated using the medium bitrate model which can be viewed in this Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1lH1pTmekC1jL-gPi1fhE...

One interesting failure model is that images dominated by high-frequency detail require a relatively large bitrate to store - see e.g. the last example in the Github README with the weird brickwork. Even though the model was trained to produce compressed representations with a soft constraint on the maximum bitrate, the filesize of the representation for this particular image is something like 60% above the nominal maximum.
Is there anything bad about that number? Something which is very popular is bound to get a lot of PRs, and reviewing them takes time.

> Evidence implies something we can observe

That's an arbitrary definition. We can't observe our local past events or even non-local events, yet we use them as theories/evidence depending on context (eg Red Shifted galaxies as evidence of expansion). Reasoning about past events would affect other future events is just as much evidence. That's how physics experiments are generally conducted.
No that is right, emacs has two main contenders for "fuzzy search" - ido-mode and helm. They act as completion engines for all kinds of search; file, word, buffer, commands etc.

Helm acts similar to Ctrl+P, ido is like an incremental search so finding a file named BasketViewController.swift in path ~/Code/MyApp/;

In helm would be 'bvc', whereas in ido it would be c -> code (hit enter), m -> MyApp (tab across if its not first result, enter) Bas -> BasketViewController.swift
> By the way in cities average speed is very low.

Most people don't respect the strict speed limits in Europe. As long as there's no radar and no heavy traffic around I can guarantee cars will go faster than 50km/h.
It depends upon the Cradle to Cradle context of how the reusable term is used.

A 316 grade stainless steel or aluminum straw that is appropriately marked for automated material identification (a very big gap in our current industrial culture) is easy to send back through a foundry to re-melt and reuse when broken beyond repair (likely by accident, as such a straw could conceivably last centuries when well taken care of).

Same straw except made out of silicone, and unmarked, will still slowly (slower than say PET, but still minutely) leach polymers as microplastics into the environment. Better than a single-use straw, but we can choose better.

I'm very partial to materials that can be fed as the sole feedstock into industrial processes without adding virgin feedstock. It is amazingly difficult as a consumer to find out these materials in the end products. Right To Repair is a part of this picture as well: you want to be able to repair the smallest piece possible to keep the overall artifact in use for as long as possible, and send back the smallest possible piece into the feedstock stream.

There could be a Second Industrial Revolution built around standing up an infrastructure that emphasizes the agile manufacturing of reusable, cradle-to-cradle-recyclable, repairable artifacts, deliberately serving an S-curve sales chart because the artifacts last so long, and rapidly switching the majority of the manufacturing line into different, adjacent artifacts, and leaving behind only a smaller line that addresses marginal demand from population growth and parts supply. It could be the first step towards a proto-post-scarcity infrastructure.

One problem with “obscurity” is that - by design - as few people are aware of the detail as possible (otherwise it’s not obscure. That’s both it’s strength and it’s weakness. With far fewer eyeballs on it, it’s easy to think you’ve gotten it right, when in all likelihood you’ve probably gotten it wrong (somewhere).
As much as I love Haskell, once you start caring about performance, laziness and GC gets in the way.

Prelude is not safe.
Async exceptions bit you like in most other languages.
String, bytestring, text exist.
There's also tons of extensions which I hope were a default in a production language.
The language is huge.
I doubt having dependent types is a factor.

Haskell is definitely my favourite language but I don't think it's the easiest language to write. It could be, with the right set of defaults but it's not - and it's by choice: Haskell wants to be a language to explore language design.

Rust is a production language and solves an interesting set of problems (safety, gc spikes). I don't like the language particularly, but it's concise and it has modern features. It gets stuff done and that's why it's getting popular.

Good to hear you got the right treatment. Bipolar famously doesn't respond to therapy, they're just going to keep being manic. People with schizophrenia aren't going to talk their delusions away, it will only feed the delusions. Drugs definitely have a purpose.

But the vast majority of people dealing with mental health issues are in the category of somewhat anxious or depressed with maybe a personality disorder thrown in. These are treatable with therapy, somewhat side effect free.

> Another one of the Linux projects that the cranky contakerous pissy segment of the FOSS world just loves to spit on & hate, PulseAudio.

There isn't one single anti-PulseAudio comment in the thread, and yet you start a top comment complaining about them, that you fill with insults (and get approved and upvoted for that). I wonder in which camp truly sit the always 'cranky', 'pissy', 'spiting', 'pointlessly shitting' 'haters'.
I am annoyed by PulseAudio because I don't know how it relates to ALSA.

Every time I made an audio related project on a Raspberry Pi, be it to stream the incoming signal of a USB-mic via ffmpeg/avconv to a server, try to get a
ReSpeaker 2-Mics Pi HAT working, stream a MP3 radio stream to a speaker, anything related to sound, I'm always confronted with ALSA as if it were the default audio system on Linux.

But then something doesn't work, and I get referred to PulseAudio, and then I have these two audio systems somehow working together, and I don't know why, but somehow it works, and I'm left clueless about what is going on down there in the OS with all this sound thing.

The .asoundrc file, which is from ALSA, but apparently is used to set up some things in PulseAudio, or not, all this stuff has left me confused as hell.

If PulseAudio is so much better, then why is ALSA the default? Is it even the same, like a replacement?

At least this rant has pushed me now to seek explanatory YouTube videos on this matter, but I think that I'm not the only one who is confronted with this confusion.
Why is this on HH? Its literally buzzfeednews.
It is a regular .so (what I assume you mean by "C library"), not a "black box that looks like a regular .so".

There's no runtime wrapped around your code like with Go etc. You just need to add an attribute to tell the compiler not to mangle your names, similar to what's needed for C++ / C interop.

I keep wondering how you are supposed to charge a car in an (un-specially-prepared) city if you can't afford a place in an indoors lot. Do you just throw an extension cord out your window? Do you book lamppost electricity from the local authority?

PayPal compliance is a very different problem to social media moderation. Financial regulations require any transaction that is "suspicious" in any way of having links to terrorism financing or money laundering be reviewed, and there are large and personal penalties for not doing so. And a review is expected to be more like auditing your customers entire financial history than just asking what they meant by a word, so for a consumer service like PayPal the only real option is to block the transaction. In that climate there's no good reason not to massively over-filter, the risks of a false negative are way too high.
Does JACK even have enough information to do any-to-any latency compensation? The only "Linux audio" application that I know of that really does this now is Ardour, and it was only in the last few years that it was implemented.

I don’t think it has to do with err on the side of caution. I don’t think PayPal has the technology to implement better blocking.
