> you know what is even worse ? the programmer "handling" the error and just displaying a "we're sorry, an error has occured" message to the user

This occurs a lot with language with exceptions too: you need to “handle” the exception before it reaches the root, otherwise it crashes the whole software (which is basically the same behavior than a panic in Rust or Go), so people usually add this kind of catch-all exception handling in Java or any language with exceptions. Have you ever encountered a “500 internal server error” while browsing so website? That's it.

The main difference is that you can't do any better when using exception because you can't easily list all possible exceptions that can reach the root, while you can in languages with sum type.

Of course there will be lazy programmers in any language, the problem with exception is that even if you aren't lazy, you cannot really do better than people who are (unless you can disable exceptions, like in C++ …).

History has shown us that the concentration in any one asset class, in any one country, in any one anything, really, is dangerous.
Usually when I see an article like this, I start looking at the strategy because it usually means it's about to start working again.

I remember an article saying "buy and hold was dead" in 2009. Marked the exact time to do buy and hold.
As a developer you might want to avoid proprietary languages even if they seem to be free as in beer. It's always a tradeoff, so I understand, but now you and your users get served ads in order to develop and use your app.
This is complete nonsense. Your comments on this subject seem to be 100% ideological not based in reality unlike most of your other grounded legal arguments on other subjects.
Pretty much every touted feature is WIP, definitely all the important ones. So yeah no that's vaporware.
Thats the problem with democracy: the people own the mistakes of those they elect. Dont like what they do? Vote them out of office. Arrest them. Jail them. If the system fails, fix the system.

My website's homepage which consists of a 128x128 picture of me, text and a table got 54. I guess the mere presence of a image made the AI like it a bit more.
I took notes on an iPad Pro for a semester in college. It worked well and there were some advantages. Infinitely expanding pages, moving notes around, pages only exist when they’re necessary, etc.

But the thing that I missed most was the feel of pencil on paper. A stylus sliding around glass felt... bad and I was always distracted by it.
From what I've seen so far, this is just a show trial for them to go through the motions.

Assange is going to be extradited to the US and there's nothing anyone can do about it, short of breaking him out of his imprisonment.
Used to be the idea was you subscribed to a podcast, and that meant your computer would download the files and then when you synced your iPod next, it would have the latest episodes, since iPods didn’t have WiFi back then.

Check out some of the discussions from its announcement and early release from last year. There were a lot of statements that were (or at least seemed) false, and several delays in releasing source code (which increased people's conviction that it wasn't entirely legit).
As a side a lot of us could view the future in a more positive way if people like Peter Thiel would use their immense power for good instead of just enriching themselves / helping others spy on us.
John Adams and George Washington believed a two-party state was a major threat to democracy, and it's pretty easy to see why.

The reality is Democrats and Republicans are about 6 inches apart on every single major issue. Compare the platforms of the "left" and "right" here to other major democracies worldwide, and you'll see.

Things are a little different with the current administration, but even that, the concrete policy and substance issues aren't all that far apart.

- Neither side supports socialized medicine.

- Neither side supports free or cheap college or doing anything about student debt.

- Neither side supports decriminalization or legalization of narcotics.

- Neither side is interested in reducing defense spending.

- Neither side is interested in immigration reform (as evidenced by the Obama administration having, for a long time, controlled both houses and the presidency and changing literally nothing).

- Neither side is interested in reforming the intelligence services or closing GITMO -- remember that?

- Neither side is interested in prison reform or policing reform. Police in America kill 10X as many people per capita as Canadian police kill. The only leader to actually implement any form of prison reform in decades was Donald Trump, credit where due. And that's likely only because he's not really a Democrat or a Republican.

- Both sides persecuted and prosecuted Asange and Snowden.

Really, what are the major points of policy differentiation? A 2% tax hike on the wealthy?

One concrete improvement would be not to moan about things that aren't even true (anymore).
You peek only one thing here.

https://docs.rs/stm/0.1.2/stm/ - the user of STM must checks for the absence of side effects, not the compiler.

How about that? Will Rust compiler be able to prevent user from executing side-effecting code in STM context? Will user of Rust compiler have the same ease as with Haskell's monads?
But this also means that the average person now has access to heart bypass surgery, which is still (I think) the most powerful "life extension" technology ever developed (statistically speaking).

That means the actual reduction in income is less than it appears, as a lot of it is just going to far superior but more costly health care. That being said, US health care costs are higher than many other developed nations for a variety of reasons and this could be improved.

What's the other 2/3 then?

I am going to take a wild guess: outsourcing / labor arbitrage, the collapse of unions, and automation reducing labor demand. I would prefer hard evidence though to wild but reasonable guesses.
There is no such thing as cancel culture, just like there is no such thing as the Q behind Qanon. The reason why is because these concepts are memes held in the collective consciousness of humans (and now AI because we trained them on our crap).

No one person or organization exists to "cancel" things. It's a thing that happens, like nuns all meowing together at the same time. It's a phenomenon of nature, or mind, but not at an individual organization or at a personal belief level.

In other words, people may be "for" "cancel culture", but the growth and life of the phenomenon itself is empty of meaning in the individualist sense. Also, because things like Facebook enable these memes to form, your statement could easily be rewritten:

> Facebook is being targeted by mass thinking on their platform because of their refusal to entirely ban republicans off their platform.

Now we see the truth of the matter, which is that Republicans support the Tragedy of the Commons for their own gain.

I don't feel I understand well enough to offer much of an opinion, but I think that captures a lot of it. An important addendum might be that a lot of foreign debt is dollar denominated, which means that dollars are often required even to service debt that is not US originated.

Food, fertilizer, fuel: Why the worldwide demand for seaweed is growing
My reaction to the original post was a casual "must be a new generation learning", because I thought this was just longstanding expected behavior. At least at some time in the past, registrars (and IIRC, Godaddy specifically) definitely did do this. To the point you could enter any string of random characters in their search box and it would show up in whois shortly thereafter. Apparently things have changed, but the initial accusation was not far fetched.
Is the experience of using Apple Pencil with iPad very close to a real paper and pen? I’m tempted to get one myself.
At the time, he said "I believe the overwhelming view of the Republican Conference in the Senate is that this nomination should not be filled, this vacancy should not be filled by this lame duck president". His other concern was were the parties reversed (a GOP president and a Democrat-controlled Senate), the Democrats would not allow a nomination to proceed in such a circumstance. This concern was based on multiple factors, notably prior comments made by Senator Biden to that effect.

In this case, not only are the Senate and Presidency both GOP, but Trump is not a lame duck president. It appears disingenuous for pundits and media talkers to even make such a comparison.

Even if Trump WERE a lame duck, Mcconnell's opinions may have been altered after the Democrats attempted to smear their prior nominee with allegations of rape and gang-rape. It is safe to assume that one would consider any prior niceties to be off the table after that, no matter the party.
The job of the Fed is to maintain inflation and employment targets. Since both inflation and employment are below target, they are engaging in an expansionary monetary policy.

I'm honestly baffled by so many people thinking that a contractionary stance would be better?
A key lesson I've learned arguing about macro online:

Anyone who claims that the Fed is "out of ammo" is not worth arguing with.
"You can gauge just how pricey a stock is by looking at its price-to-book ratio,"

"Since 2010 the Russell 1000 value index, which tracks American stocks with low price-to-book ratios and low expected earnings growth, has risen by just 87%, compared with 171% for the market overall."

This reminds me of what Blow-up artist Niederhoffer told me before his second blow up: Price-Earnings ratios have no meaning for long term stock performance :-)

I'm in full agreement that you can prioritize other things over efficiency, and that a framework in a slower language can be the right call.

> Researchers have found that note-taking associated with keyboarding involves taking notes verbatim in a way that does not involve processing information, and so have called this “non-generative” note-taking.

From the linked paper:

> Taking notes on laptops rather than in longhand is increasingly common. Many researchers have suggested that laptop note taking is less effective than longhand note taking for learning. Prior studies have primarily focused on students’ capacity for multitasking and distraction when using laptops. The present research suggests that even when laptops are used solely to take notes, they may still be impairing learning because their use results in shallower processing. In three studies, we found that students who took notes on laptops performed worse on conceptual questions than students who took notes longhand. We show that whereas taking more notes can be beneficial, laptop note takers’ tendency to transcribe lectures verbatim rather than processing information and reframing it in their own words is detrimental to learning.

The mechanism here is probably that people are able to type faster, so typing lets them write down every word, whereas handwriting forces them to choose what to write down. The superior way of note taking by this logic is clearly typing on your phone.

But this has irrelevant for note taking as people on HN are likely to understand it: Writing down your ideas.
I was explaining the issue to the commenter, since they seemed to be expressing honest confusion about why their comment comes across as incendiary. I certainly agree it's better to avoid engaging with inflammatory rhetoric, but we shouldn't let that become a refusal to help people moderate their tone when they don't mean to give offense.
It's not. Mcconnell in 2016 declared it improper to vote on a nominee in an election year and now he says it can be done less than 6 weeks before an election. Yes it is within his authority and breaks no laws but the US Senate has traditions of decorum and fairness that he is trading for a short term win to the detriment of the country. We can't send him to jail but we can certainly be upset.
This is an over simplistic view. Simplify the terms so much and you get garbage in, so obviously garbage out.

The russell 1000 value index is quantitative only and tries hard to define "cheap" stocks by different measures.

Value investing in the real world, especially when talking about Buffet, is heavily reliant on qualitative analysis.
How else would Apple, Buffet's biggest holding, will be considered a value investment?

The title therefore is completely wrong.
A good title would be: "Russell 1000 value index performed worse then their growth index recently"
This is very well could be our future.
Well, a few points:

* If they flew across the world, in this day and age, they are already disrespectful of nature

* Different countries, different behaviours. As sad as it is, in some places it's not unusual to just drive and throw stuff out of the window

Regarding the last point, I've lived in remote places where people traditionally threw away tools (wood, stone, rope) and packaging (nutshells, seashells,...) that had become useless to them. Combined with low population density, that was not an issue, until the packaging and tools started to become plastics (and metal, glass to a lesser extent), batteries, motor oil, etc. Needless to say, this became an issue.
> Also, voter registration laws have traditionally been an effective way of suppressing African American and immigrant voters[0] (who tend to vote Democrat) so red states tend to vigorously support such laws.

I've yet to see a single source that can show any significant effect of "voter suppression". One guy in 1836 doesn't count. If you truly think that minorities in America can't figure out how to register, than I would suggest that you check your patronizingly racist view of minorities.

The argument about linking Republican registration policies to Jim Crow etc. is worthless, because those were all Democratic laws that were opposed by Republicans. Stop blaming Republicans for the Democratic Party's legacy of populist racial identity politics.

I think growing old in 1900 is diff from growing old in 2020. I don’t think these are experiences that translate well over time and place.

‘What advice would I give my younger self’ also doesn’t compute. Because that would mean that I would end up with entirely different life experience and the person giving the advice would not exist as they would have changed. In sci fi, this would be the classic causal loop/temporal paradox time travel dilemma.

If this is about health, you are better off obtaining a DNA report and go through the high risk illnesses you have inherited with your physician. I did this and was able to identify a few things missed by my previous maternal units. Some of them probably died because one mutation was undiagnosed.

From a dietary perspective, follow the grandmother diet. Eat what your longest living ancestors lived. It helps if you haven’t migrated far off.

P.S: Don’t rely on dna ancestry reports migrations. I am South East Asian and ancestry report suggested that I had a Finnish ancestor. I doubt if I can follow the Sami diet. In California. So there is that...

My suggestion is to draw a family tree for upto 4-7 generations. 7 is ideal but would be tough for most.

It took a long time but I migrated my handwriting workflow over to a Remarkable tablet (v1, my v2 coming in a week or so).

It is quite good from a writing perspective. I very much loved the tactile experience of a good fountain pen and nib on robust heavy paper. Remarkable is not that, of course, but a worthy experience in its own right. I am using it at this moment for some creative technical design work.

It is less good from a reviewing and rereading perspective. Even at the finest line width I have to work a little harder to read back through my poor script- something I much less frequently found problematic on paper. And page turning and locating earlier notes in a 20-50 page document (an amount I easily produce weekly, sometimes daily) is much less ergonomic than with paper.

The recognition does not work with my writing, but I can see that improving and that feature becoming killer in the context of more structured document authoring on the Remarkable, like filling out a templated form with gestures or short letter/word notes. They are not far from that capability.

And on the whole I have gotten to a place where the ritual is satisfying and useful. Not perfect, but paper and pen, however enjoyable, were not perfect either.

I have also recently become aware of a product called Papyr, which has two features of interest- a larger writing surface, and live synchronization with other Papyr devices and with software on iPad or desktop. It may be able to be a useful shared whiteboard.
"Better Living Through Chemistry" - There was a feeling in the first half of the 20th century that man could do no wrong. Yes some chemicals may be destructive, but there's no way we could do permanent damage to something as big as the earth; yes some people may be hurt here or there, but it will be a temporary effect on the way to a bright and shining future. We may deplete some animal populations, but they'll bounce back. Things are getting better in so many ways, the ends justify the means!

That bright shining feeling has been tarnished by cancer hot-spots, mutated frogs, depletion of the ozone layer, nervous system damage from ethyl lead.

I grew up on science fiction and I still love it, but the easy science fiction of the 1950's looks pretty simpleminded sometimes.

Note: I am not anti-chemistry or anti-science, but we do need to be careful and safe.

I’ve gotten three of these calls in the last 6 months. I learned after the first one not to get too excited and grown to appreciate actually getting feedback.

I can’t stand the interviews where you invest a significant amount of time and get zero feedback. I realize they often don’t want to share everything but give me something so I have some direction for improvement.

> The bootstrapping process is not laughably bad, the developers have merely prioritised their own ergonomics

Ironically, I would disagree here; the language developers have not prioritized their own ergonomics, which is why building rustc is a big pain.

I do agree that making it easier to bootstrap in that way would not necessarily help them... there is a sense in which you're right, I just found the framing kind of funny, since I'd argue the same point but for completely opposite reasons.
The runtime is not mandatory at all.

[1] http://cufp.org/archive/2008/slides/HawkinsTom.pdf

I have managed to compile Haskell code into C, Java and, finally, VHDL for some hardware simulation project. All that code did not require any kind of runtime except what was needed by typical program in that language.

You seem to completely throw away whole point about embedding language into Haskell. I am okay with that. Do you?
I'm not using the strategy myself, but if I had to buy and hold anything right now just to test your idea, the market seems full of reasonably intuitive options. I could think of a lot more worrying securities than e.g. AAPL at $106. They've split many times before, and the odds are it'll happen many times again in the future. (This is not investing advice, yada yada)
Certainly. But in the end, they are buying stocks in the belief that the price will go up, while the underlying asset, the cash flows, do not seem likely to do so for some time, and not to the extent that the stock prices require. That's pure speculation.

I must do it differently with a keyboard. I usually use bullet points for all note taking and I do process it, in fact have more time to process it and think about it because I spend less time drawing symbols. Must be a tough one to measure for a study.
Candidates talk. If we hear that a company has a terrible recruiting process, we'll generally avoid it. This is especially true of qualified candidates who are heavily recruited. You'll send an email or a LinkedIn message to a candidate and get one of the suggested "No, thanks" replies or outright silence.

So if you don't care, you should.
