I had a tooth extraction without numbing when I was a kid. Dentist didn't believe it hurt because so many kids freak out for everything dentist related.

Since then I've had many injuries, but in terms of acute pain, that was the worst. Only thing that came close was when my appendix burst.

What bothers me with this kind Of culture is that it quickly becomes a gatekeeper for ideas you don’t like. Like an idea? Push for it without data. Don’t like an idea? Ask for more data.
I'm actually arguing that it is wrong to claim that a copy is even being made by the mere act of streaming (i.e. transferring the bytes of) a media file and hence you cannot violate copyright by merely downloading something. You only infringe once you distribute the content further.

In fact, as far as I'm aware of, this is also how the situation plays out de facto in most (all?) European countries.

> The rights holders have effectively said "you can watch this for free as long as we get the ad revenue".

The key lies in the word "effectively" here. They may have said and even meant that, but I am unaware of a legal mechanism that would actually allow them to do this (in Europe). The only way I can think of accomplishing this would be to make the content available under a dedicated, bespoke licence, akin to how GPL works, and even then I'm unsure whether it would be enforceable. TOSes, generally, are not.

> It's not hard to predict that's coming, especially in Europe given Article 13 last year.

This is wrong. Article 13 regulates content hosts (in this case, Youtube), not end users. Hence, Article 13 has no bearing on ad-blocking software.
Yep, and I am very sceptical of claims how topics like these tend to plunge from front page right during West Coast work hours, and the tolerance to "controversial" topics magically go up closer to end of the day, and the weekend.

> Really seems like a "hey nurse did this patient have their fentanyl yet?" would have resolved this issue.

You'd be surprised at how questionable hospital care is run in NY, even with $450 / month insurance with a high deductible.

To protect the privacy of the person I know, here's a story from 2-5 months ago:

- Person A goes into doctor's office for something pretty common

- Doctor requests cat scan or MRI (I forgot which one is which) based on symptoms

- Person A gets the scan

- Doctor evaluates results and says to book surgery in a hospital ASAP as it's probably cancerous

- Person A books surgery

- Hospital gives prep instructions to be performed by Person A 48 hours before surgery

- Person A does everything and goes in for surgery

- Person A is prepped for surgery and is put under anesthesia

- Surgeon comes in and looks at the scan in the operating room

- Surgeon says this scan is nothing to worry about and surely doesn't warrant surgery and it's not a tumor or cancer

- Person A is wondering how the surgery went after coming to from being put out

- Nurse says no surgery was done and even she was able to look at the scan and see nothing was wrong

- Person A is told to go home and wait 4-6 weeks to self heal

So let's ignore thousands of dollars in bills (deductibles). All of this could have been avoided if someone actually looked at the results of the scan before going through the motions of putting someone under anesthesia and a massive amount of stress.

That's only 1 of many stories. In another case someone I knew had their blood drawn twice in the hospital because the 2nd nurse didn't believe them when they said they just got their blood drawn by another nurse 10 minutes ago. The vials were literally next to them, about 3 arm's lengths away.

If you want to know how many peers are connected you use heartbeats instead of just blindly trusting that 1 tcp socket = 1 available peer.

The article explains why they let him out: he apparently also has Kazakh citizenship, and his wife started making noise via diplomatic channels.

As to the larger question, most genocides stop short of literally just shooting everyone. That doesn't mean the goal still isn't eradication of a culture.

China does care about legitimacy internationally, and simply shooting millions of people into roadside ditches would be a step too far. But this process of concentration camps under the banner of combating terrorism is enough of a fig leaf, and enough of a slow progression, it doesn't generate the same sort of immediate opposition abroad. As we see here sadly.
good one, haha.

Pure functional languages, aka Haskell or Idris or whatever, don't have this property. A closure closes over values, and thus is a value, no state mutation involved.

Of course, your point about complex mechanisms to reintroduce mutation into specific contexts stands (usually via monads) but those are a very different Kind of object then the functions.

The geeks were not exactly experts in domestic violence and abuse. Not that it did not happened in their world, they did not really cared and victims had little options.

The greeks also used goverments as intruments of violence. Quite a lot actually, freedom was reserved for small minority of people. The goverment was used as instrument of violence long before Marx. Fuedalism, whether German or Russian was kept by violence.

Maybe the greeks are your source of how you think about world, but dont project it on rest of us when we are talking about abuse of people Greeks generally looked down at.

this happens a lot. my stepfather was in the hospital, a nurse came in and gave him a shot of morphine and walked out. another nurse came in and before my mom could stop her gave him another dose. He coded from the overdose but pulled through.

my sister worked as an admin in some department at a hospital I can't remember. a patient coded and they did nothing because they were marked do not resuscitate but the patient came back on their own. Afterwards, the nurses found the patient was labeled incorrectly.

I've told my wife and mother (mom is an RN) that if any of our family go into the hospital they are not to be left alone.
The international community could do a lot more to stop this horror. International leaders could condemn this for a start. They could put sanctions on the chinese ruling class, or Chinese businesses, as well as exclude Chinese participation in international events (such as the Olympics).

Your local representative could raise awareness to such measures to the ruling class in your country, and vote in favor for them in your national assembly. At the very least your local representative could call to shame any other member of the ruling class that is not publicly and vocally condemning this horror.

The US also contributes to torture and murder of political dissidents. Capitalism (including the state capitalism found in China) directly causes human suffering and brutality. If people took a critical look at their own country's crimes they would come to the same conclusion.

This comment section gets me depressed with how quick people will jump on the "China Bad" narrative. The US or any other capitalist nation is no better. At the level of nation states, no one can claim a moral high ground.
Technical debt is not a thing.

It’s made up by people who want things done in a different way than they currently are.

All currently good design recommendations will become wrong ones in the future. Today’s best practice is tomorrow’s technical debt.

There is just code that works and makes the company money, and code that doesn’t work.

Code that is readable and code that is not readable.

Starting out with “the right design” will become the wrong design when the market changes and the specs change under your feet.

Moving fast and making software that meets market needs requires going back and finding parts that need to be consolidated.

It’s just how building software in the non-trilllion-dollar-company-or-in-academy world works.
Those don't have GPIO pins, the Odroid Go does. There's something inherently charming about being able to run emulated games on a microcontroller. Also, because it's an ESP32, it supports Arduino so playing around with programming it is fairly straightforward.

The Go has good battery life, instant-on, and has a certain DIY spirit. I don't know if it's possible to run MakeCode programs directly on the Odroid Go but it would probably be doable for someone with more knowledge of these things.
I've often wondered about what percent of battery drain on smartphones is directly attributable to this business model choice and therefore exactly how many smartphones have ended up in landfills before they needed to because Google ultimately prioritizes a few dollars over the environment.

Ok, that's maybe fair, if you have not heard of it before. You might have heard of the main developer, Brad Fitzpatrick (https://github.com/bradfitz).

I've been learning Japanese since the pandemic hit, and Anki has been an indispensible tool. One thing that is great about it is people have already created great decks of the most common vocabulary, complete with audio and images. I would imagine people have done this for comp sci as well.
It makes the most sense to me to default to immutable, but swap to mutable when appropriate.
Tips to get started with freelancing as a Software Developer
> That said, I still think passing the world in and out of every function is too onerous for most real world programs [...]

This is a bit of a strawman. At least in my limited experience, functional programmers think so too. Part of what monads let you do is a kind of inversion of control: instead of changing the world directly (as you would if you were seriously threading the world through your domain logic), you return a description of what you're doing, and let the runtime (in the case of IO) or the interpreter for the monad (in other cases) actually perform the changes.

Similarly, lenses allow you to describe local mutations and lift them to the level of a whole structure.

Explicitly threading your state is the first refactoring, not the final destination. If you have a code smell, the first thing to do is draw it out into the open so you can wrangle it. In languages that don't conveniently support functional strategies like monads or lenses, it's tempting to stop there. But that doesn't mean FP is about stopping there.
Great suggestions. Thank you!
Anyone know how nanomsg (https://nanomsg.org) or nng (https://github.com/nanomsg/nng) compares?

edit: just noticed nng and nanomsg share the same domain, so probably the same people behind them.

I don't personally care it's GPLv3. I know given the way I'd use it there's no actual risk, or if I did modify it there'd be no reason not to contribute back. I do care about getting fired for violating company policy.

GPLv2 can be approved fairly easily. GPLv3 is a much tougher sell. For example, GCC is fine because there's really no alternative (or there wasn't before clang had full compatibility).
The #1 thing you can do is make sure something similar is not happening in your country. (Do you live in the US? Australia? Turkey? India? Russia? If so, it is.) The #2 thing you can do is make sure your own country is run by politicians who will not do it at home and will pressure China on this actual issue, not as a card in a negotiation actually about economics.

I don't mean this as some kind of whataboutism. I mean pragmatically the leverage you have over the government of China is far less than the leverage you have over the government where you work and live. But the leverage they have over of the government of China may be significant.

Years ago I had a legitimate attempt by taking a combination of a full bottle of opiates and benzos (A pretty deadly combination). I was pretty hell bent on being dead. I know at the time, my thoughts where use a gun (I am a big second amendment advocate, so was not going to be a statistic in the argument), carbon monoxide, pills or hanging. The reason I bring this up, is I actually think there are two main branches of why people attempt to commit suicide, neither or which is for thrill seeking. Those two branches are those that feel a tiredness that normal people just don't feel. It an unreal tiredness like you want to go to sleep and never wake up. You really don't want to be dead but you don't want to go on like you are, eventually something happens, you get overwhelmed and you see no other way. You cannot think about anything past just not being tired in your soul.

I think the second has a form of self loathing and self hate possibly combined with that tiredness. I think this reflects in the way people choose to commit suicide. I think jumpers have to be of the latter mindset, because jumping off a building was the furthest thing from my mind. When I committed to it, I just wanted it to be over. I did not want to suffer, I did not want to fall thru the air contemplating my mortality, I just wanted to not exist. I think jumping, suicide by cop and those type of attempts come from an internal anger at oneself, I did not have that anger, I was just tired. I specifically chose to OD because I figured it would do the trick and the fact that going out in euphoria seemed to me to be the next best thing from the instantaneousness of a bullet. I survived by pure chance and luck and am thankful I did and am better now, have not had a thought in years, but my point of the post was to say I think there is a pattern to the way people choose to commit suicide.

As for the experience without dying, for the particular way I felt, the only thing I could suggest is if someone offered to put me in a drug coma for 3 months then wake me up and see if I wanted to go back for another 3 months. I would have taken that option in a heartbeat. I just wanted a break from life.

> However, FP is designed to prioritize the above features, whereas other languages may not be.

This statement is pretty vauge and further supports kibwen's claim that a term "functional programming" ceased to be meaningful or is in the course of being so. I can't see the reason that Rust is not as functional as OCaml by your standard, as both fill four boxes out of seven (only OCaml has currying, only Rust has typeclasses). It can be argued that Rust was not originally designed as functional one, but that would be absurd because it doesn't relate to the current language.

Beauty of life is not mortality. We mostly live in the moment, if involuntary death wasn’t an issue (and everything else was similar) then life would be subjectively better.
I agree. Explaining that to lawyers is a bit tougher.
It’s important to note Erlang’s global state tools are about controlled global state. The process registry is more elaborate than a simple naming scheme in say Python or Java but really not much harder to use. However that controlled registry allows the process registry to become multi-node with minimal or no code changes for the clients. It’s comparable in power to but far simpler than Consul or etcd for finding services. I view micro services as fairly equivalent to Erlang actors as they both reinforce that state encapsulation. The same idea goes for mnesia or ETS which are comparable in power to Redis.
