There's thought that it was so close, we're still flying through the remnants.
I think most people understand this.

What I'd like to see is the junkie to just get drugs from the government. It's cheaper for society to pay for a $20 fix (That costs $2 to produce), then for $500 dollars in property damage, a stolen $200 item that gets fenced for $20, a cop to show up to do a police report, and then, months down the road, an arrest, prison time, etc, etc.
How does that increase the gap exactly?
including a YC-backed firm that does this explicitly. I find it sad/humorous that they have copy about "connecting companies with a more diverse set of candidates" while essentially selling a service for streamlined filtering out this pool of people. I get the need in certain circumstances, just get tired of companies trying to have it both ways.

> The US system probably is overly harsh -- in Ireland it's probaby overly lenient

The US system is overly harsh to some groups of people and overly lenient to others, and the imbalance creates its own set of problems.

I would love to see sane prison reform based on data and science.
> And being such artifacts the means used by historians to reconstruct the past, while they deny others the same rights to interpret it, is quite ironic.

Maybe that's because those others are more likely to do a bad job, because they lack the training to do a good one. Sort of like how sci-fi filmmakers have taught millions of people that you can hear explosions in space and that lasers make a "zap" sound.

I think the point is that you simply don’t know in a lot of these videos. They’re random bystanders, not known figures with photographic evidence. So you’re not going to know what to recolour it to, or if it’s even wrong in the first place.
In the US even if you get _accused_ of a felony and aren't guilty, it will still haunt you for life because it's in your permanent record forever and if employers had to choose between two equal candidates they'll most likely choose the one with the "clean" record.
The sky did not literally look like that either, when Van Gogh painted it. You are missing the point.
It is expensive in both time and money, yes. But what better way to spend than on creating something meaningful that others can use?
The learning curve is definitely important when I decide what language to use.
Here in .fi employers are not permitted to do any background checks - all they can legally use is the information provided by the applicant. They can ask permission to request security clearance from the Finnish Security and Intelligence Service (Supo), which would then do the background checks, but this is allowed for only some jobs.

Working with children may require that you provide extract from the criminal record, but only certain crimes (violence, child abuse, sex offences, drug offences, human trafficking etc.) are considered.
I don't mind the colorizations, but to give you some additional ammo for your argument, check out the TV show "The Munsters" and "The Addams Family". If you're not familiar, they're supposed to live in creepy dark houses, and in black and white, the houses do indeed look dark and creepy.

But in reality, those sets were bright pastels. Actual dark walls and floors didn't show up well on film. Which makes me wonder how right we are with some of our other colorizations.

You can google [what did the munsters set actually look like] to get some great examples.
Here you go. Though things seem to be changing in developed countries as well.
Of course it's easier to understand. It's also much easier to get wrong. Just yesterday I messed around with running a small process on to ship subscribed messages across node boundaries and forgot the recursive call in one of 4 cases, leading to mysterious stopping.

In Elixir you don't even have to define all of this boilerplate, just the functions you actually need. Also, the callbacks are not classical methods, a handle_call doesn't have to reply immediately, for example. Distinguishing info, call and cast is also very relevant.

If you wanted something like

{:ok, agent} = Agent.start_link ...

agent.get()

I think you would need a change in the BEAM to recognise that agent is a "particular kind of PID".
> What's the objective of this comment? It starts off talking about "Chicago = War Zone" and then it devolves into the ground state of HN's favorite whipping children of "cancel culture", "free speech" and how "The well-being of these communities shouldn't be exchanged for free-speech(?)".

Chicago isn't a warzone. Last year I bought my first home here. I wouldn't live here if it were a warzone. But it does have problems and I have a vested interest in their resolution (or more realistically, reducing their impact). I think I explained pretty clearly how I see cancel culture, etc relating to these problems. If you have specific questions, I'm happy to try to answer (I don't claim perfect knowledge, I'm only sharing my perspective).

> "The well-being of these communities shouldn't be exchanged for free-speech(?)". I'm not even sure what the last point was meant to be about other than showing angst at the idea that racist comments are largely derided and marginalized.

I don't know how you got "angst at the idea that racist comments are largely derided and marginalized". I explicitly noted that marginalizing actual racism is a good thing. The problem is that a lot of necessary debate is considered beyond the pale such that we are only allowed to talk about the solutions which (pretty obviously) are only going to exacerbate the problem, such as reducing policing in the communities most in need and letting violent offenders out without the necessary rehabilitation. Your comment (inadvertently, I'm sure) lumps these concerns in with "racist comments", illustrating perfectly my issue with political correctness. I understand the desire for a simple worldview with a group of purely good guys and a group of purely bad guys, but I'm interested in solving real world problems and the real world has a lot of nuance to be explored. We have to be able to talk about that nuance in order to solve these problems. We're not doing these communities any favors by avoiding unpleasant complexities.

As an aside, I remember nonsense clauses in Incentive Stock Option agreements. Notably, there was a non-compete clause and also a paragraph stating that the clause was not enforceable in California (and I was in California).
I think I'm wrong, honestly, given the two replies to my two comments on the matter. It's too late to edit them but I am upvoting those replies anyways!

I do think there's still the matter of "Not all USB-PD adapters provide the specific electrical demands of a Switch or Switch Dock" to contend with — and that does tie back to the original article's point about USB-C being kind of a nightmare.

EDIT: There are still reports of someone frying a Switch with an Apple USB-C power adapter (which is USB-C compliant), no dock or anything involved. Whatever else does or doesn't work, Nintendo won't cover damage under warranty if you used a third-party charger.
It's nice but then the other side will wait for you to return to the call. I actually though that Google Assistant would talk with me during the hold time and attempt to resolve my request by caller-defined Frequently TalkedAbout Topics before reaching the human. Or maybe in the future just let the Assistant know what you need and let the Assistant talk with the representative without your intervention. Then I would return to the phone hour later and the Assistant would tell me the summary of the call.
I’ve searched United flights for many years, and have never found one at over $0.01. Plus the usual taxes and fees, end it’s worth less.

If a flight is $500, the miles are always >= 50,000, at least on United.

Hilton’s points are worth far below $0.01. I don’t know what they go buy, but it’s usually $0.005 at best, if not worse whenever I have searched it.
If anyone is not familiar with Anton Petrov, he churns out YouTube videos on new astronomy and astrophysics papers. He does a wonderful ELI5 job of explaining the evidence and what it all means in the grand scheme of things. He did one on this paper earlier this week.

Yikes
The models those GUI APIs use have a pretty big impedance mismatch with the way Rust works.
You can look at it that way, or you could look at it like comparing RISC vs. CISC architectures. RISC would seemingly be too simple to accomplish everything CISC does but that's the beauty of being Turing complete.

OTP is definitely more of an expert's toolset than a framework for throwing together features quickly. This is a good thing because it's not trying to be more of an abstraction than necessary. With OTP you can make fault-tolerant, concurrent, self-healing applications that handle stateful operations with ease, but you'll still need a fair bit of need-to-know about the callbacks, how to manage process lifecycles, etc.

What a lot of people seem to want is a batteries included framework that does the OTP for you, but doing at a high level of abstraction is difficult. So more commonly you'll see the OTP managed by libraries for more concrete use cases (web servers, database connection pooling, back pressured job processing, etc). Trying to wrap or rebuild OTP from the primitives available in the BEAM is possible, but definitely not an easy task.

Could we potentially have an OTP-like library that cuts down on the boilerplate significantly? Yes. But how much effort would that take and is it much of a win over OTP as-is? Not sure the trade-off is entirely there yet - OTP really isn't that bad. You're still writing less boilerplate than Java in general.

I think we're much better off writing good library-level abstractions over OTP that can be embedded in a supervision tree or used in more specific use cases. If we were to actually attempt some kind of higher level abstraction in the scope of OTP - maybe we can do so with a very different approach like decorated dataflow graphs and runtime property based testing.

I saw my rotting railings as a way to fund a new hobby. Since that project I've built a gate, a few planter boxes, fence repairs, a table with the scrap wood and a few other minor things. Enjoyment aside, my cost savings including the value of my vocational time would be reason enough but like you said I have specific cases that can't be bought off a shelf.
It is also difficult to get skilled labour to perform small jobs where I live so it is almost a necessity at this time.

What's wrong with using FDE and entering the key manually on startup? You could then just shut down when you detect suspicious behavior and all is well or am I missing something?
The demands for background checks tends to be inversely proportional to the ability of the employee/applicant to do criminal or civil harm. You'll need a clean criminal record to work a random retail job but could have numerous convictions and be a software developer. A crummy rental will require it but fancy executive rental will not.

I know some of this has historical/data underpinnings on experience, but fear most of it is based on biased expectations.

Excellent! I'm so happy you're following along in another language. If you're developing in the open, can I link to it somewhere on the series?

It's a good point and I'll try and remember to add a notice about order being important later.
I didn't find any of those tweets unprofessional. I found them to be a genuinely interesting perspective on social issues that I am interested in. I am not sure how that's unprofessional of her.

If you think its "leftist nonsense", then that's just your opinion.

She is entitled to tweet whatever she wants to from her personal twitter account. Do you think its reasonable for her to follow your idea of how a Director of Engineering should tweet?

I had (have) the same experience with Ecto but Ecto != Elixir.

One of the super cool things about Elixir is how easy it is to extend the language with DSLs. However (and Jose et al are very up front about this), the more DSLs and macros you use, the more confusing it's going to be. Using macros is a tradeoff because it can be a very neat solution but it also obscures what the code is doing quite a bit.

Re. foo(hello: :world) vs foo(:hello, :world) - that one I got the hang of more quickly, though I'll admit it's confusing at first. In the first you're providing a keyword list (which is merely a list of 2-membered tuples where the first member of the tuple is an atom). And when a keyword list is the last (or only) argument to a function it can be provided without the brackets. So the same thing could be written as foo([{hello:, :world}]) or also foo([hello: :world]). In foo(:hello, :world) you're just providing arguments. When you're first learning the language this can definitely trip you up but I think once you become a "practitioner" it's not too bad and ends up being pretty nice.

God Elixir is so cool.
My favorite is:

rm -rf ${DIR_NAME}/*

Then you remember that DIR_NAME is undefined...
This feels very uncharitable, given that they laid off 30% of their workforce and the remainder are pretty much all paid under SV market prices and work there because they believe in the mission.

Could it be the perceived feeling of security?

I've been driving very small cars since I started driving. SUVs were rare and large pickups were usually only seen in rural areas. Today it seems as if everyone on the road has gone bigger and I feel very small in that car.

Whenever I'm stuck between several SUVs, often with the added disadvantage that the one behind me has its low beams on the same level as my rear view mirror, I can't say I feel safe.

If I were starting a family, I would definitely want a bigger car, even though I don't have any data indicating that it would be safer.
