Fair enough. I was talking specifically about cloud environments. If you want to manage more things yourself, of course VMs are the way to go, but if you are looking to save yourself work I’m of the opinion that various container platforms are a very good option, not least of all because they let dev teams own more of the workload and thus less dependency on an ops team (and thus less coordination with the ops team, allowing the dev teams to move faster).
It's also very common in switching power supplies as it allows N-type devices to be used in the high side improving efficiency for "high" output current supplies. Here is an excellent summary of the various techniques.

Functional programs tend to be more modular than imperative or OOP counter parts but nobody really knows why nor do they understand the cases where FP becomes less modular.

FP is only modular when you use combinators. If you use closures then it's no longer modular.

f x y = x + y
g y = y * 2
w x = (f x) . g

g and f are combinators and modular and w is the composition of both of those combinators.

w = \x -> (\y -> (x + y) * 2)

In this case the above is not modular because it doesn't use combinators. The above style is actually kind of promoted by haskell when you need to do things with side effects. It actually makes FP more complex than it needs to be without improving modularity.
I'm sorry you had to go through that.

Where would you draw the line between complex social interaction (mild, sporadic bullying) that gives an opportunity to learn social patterns of behavior, and a wholly negative experience with no benefits?

I'm attempting to build a spectrum between:

A. Never letting a kid ride a bicycle because of the remote possibility they might fall and hurt themselves

B. Giving your 9 year-old a 600cc dirtbike with no helmet, and setting them loose in Manhattan.

The parent comment I was responding to, as well as your comment have established a similar spectrum between never letting your child experience interpersonal adversity, versus making your child's life a living hell.

There's a healthy middle-ground somewhere in there. That's what I'm arguing for. Give kids challenges they can overcome on their own, and it will make them more capable adults. Don't throw your kids into wolf-pits.

That's exactly my experience living on North Shore of Nassau County, Long Island, NY. I don't have a car.

A primary factor which permits me to live without a car is in-town taxi service (not Uber). Shopping, laundry, etc. are all within 20 minute walk. The town is compact, unlike most suburban sprawl.

Previous to COVID I commuted 4 days to Midtown by rail, which was ~1.25h one way. Now I work from home.

I consider the Ami an ideal vehicle to fit my lifestyle, and would be much more desired if the in town taxi service were 2+ times more expensive, if I needed to go out more, and if the weather was more reliably rainy or cold and icy, and if needed to wear 'adult clothes' which I didn't wish to ruin walking in dirty streets.

I seem to be missing something. I’m reading this as looking for functions f and g from R to R, such that f(x)+g(x)=1 and f(x+p)=f(x).

If I were reading that correctly, then for any periodic f, g(x)=1-f(x) would do, meaning any old periodic function would do.

What an I missing?

Am I also reading it right that the author is saying the axiom of choice is equivalent to the statement that every vector space has a finite basis? I don’t get how that allows infinite dimensional vector spaces. If not, and it’s just that every vector space has a basis that’s maybe infinite, then what’s the justification of the Hamel basis being finite?

I feel like I’m missing a lot between the lines here.

In Linux, processes scheduled in cron, systemd or other schedulers don't require and may sometimes have issues with the customizations in login scripts for interactive sessions. Login scripts may expect input from the user keyboard, or may depend on environment variables that exist when a login script is executed, but not when nonlogin scripts execute.
I would much rather write the logic the author describes in Haskell than C. The C code will have to be carefully managed during development and maintenance to make sure the side effects are happening in the expected order and that no changes ever introduce unexpected interleaving of mutation. The Haskell version will prevent that trivially. You can't even express doing it the wrong way, because you can't mutate anything.

Accidentally interleaved mutation is not a theoretical or academic problem. It's probably the number three source of production bugs in my dayjob's various products, behind misunderstood requirements and web browsers constantly changing the rules. It turns out that everyone, even people like me who know better and have been burned several times, will sometimes take the convenient shortcut. It's so tempting to get something done immediately by quietly mixing some mutation in an unexpected place, and it usually doesn't bite you. Then it gets ossified that way, and a year later starts biting you. This really does happen in code maintained by multiple developers over multiple years.

To be fair to the original post, though, Haskell has come a long way in making that kind of coding easy since 2007. The lens library didn't exist back then, and it's a big part of why data transformation programs are so much more pleasant in Haskell than most languages. It lets you express data access at the right level of abstraction. You get laws to enable algebraic reasoning and a broad range of utilities for composing small pieces together to solve complex problems.

As someone who was once religious, I can tell you at at least for me, this never really dealt with existential dread. Maybe I just didn't believe hard enough. But it stands to reason that thoughts of the afterlife do not do much: religious people do not seem, in the main, to have significantly less fear or avoidance of death. The drive to live would be pretty anemic if a mere mental trick could defuse it.

Personally, now that I'm secular, I still fear death. But at least I understand that that fear only exists because of my built in neurobiological values, which are there because they helped my ancestors reproduce. That doesn't really change things much either, but at least it's a true explanation. Before there was always a cognitive dissonance: if things are going to be way way better after we die, why do we try so hard to avoid death?

‘Right to Repair’ Movement Gains Ground
Agree. Sure the UN could do more to both help the victims and condemn the actions. But military intervention seems like a very very very bad idea which might result in far worse travesties. Worse then even these concentration camps. Remember that 2.5% of every human on earth lost their lives because of World War 2.
Christ took the form of a human and underwent human death, in a thematic response to the fall of the first human as recounted in the Bible's creation story. Neither Genesis nor the Gospels are to be read as complete lab notebooks of creation and redemption in sufficient detail to allow others to replicate it. They are stories of the relationship between God and humanity.

If there are other human-level-intelligent species, there are a number of possibilities, including that they had their own messiah that took their form to fix whatever they'd screwed up, that they had the very same messiah, or that they didn't need one in the first place. It's possible that they don't die, in which case it wouldn't really make sense to apply Christ's redemption to them - but we still die, and so the concept of Christ defeating death by his own death does not become any less applicable to us.

(As another commenter mentioned - C. S. Lewis's Space Trilogy explores the idea that only humanity fell, and intelligent life on the other planets knows God but didn't need the redemption of Christ.)

okay, I concede there are some parts of the world where family planning is actually pretty difficult. but think about the chain of things that have to go wrong to have an unplanned child in most wealthy countries.

you have to improperly use (or eschew entirely) the several forms of birth control available. you don't need insurance to buy condoms, and they are not particularly expensive. even if you can't afford to buy hormonal birth control, an IUD, or condoms outright, you can often get them for free or very cheap through planned parenthood. if you are even using one of these correctly, your risk of pregnancy in a given year is <= 2%. if you combine them, the risk is well under 1%. if you mess up somewhere along the way or are one of those spectacularly unlucky people who gets pregnant anyway, abortion is still legal (for now, at least) in all 50 US states. once again, you can get this for free or a greatly reduced price through planned parenthood.

if everything I mentioned above has gone wrong and you actually bring a child into the world that you did not plan for, you can still put the child up for adoption. the demand for newborns is quite a bit higher than the number that are actually available for adoption.

I can easily believe there are a lot of parents out there who had good plans for raising their children that went sideways due to truly unforeseeable circumstances. I think there are also a lot of parents who chose to have children without having any idea how they would support them. what I don't believe is that there is a meaningful number of parents in wealthy countries who are stuck supporting children they had no intention of raising.
Hey! I'm building an app for couples to learn languages from each other. I started building it because I've been learning Chinese with my wife, but mostly alone with Anki, so I wanted to make it more multiplayer.

People claimed that bicycles would cause the destruction of society when they were introduced. Can't I just declare that all of the skeptics are ignorant luddites using the same arguments you are?
GDB has had that in the form of Multi-process debugging for a while. Multi-target I believe extends this different remote stubs and architectures, such as debugging both an x86 and x86-64 process. Besides that I agree it's really useful on the occasions that you need it to hunt down some non-determinism or what not.
You can only say this because you've been brainwashed into thinking all the atrocities committed before, say, 1950 don't count anymore. That was a different time! Racism is solved too.

Before 1980, left wing groups were responsible for most US domestic terror attacks. After the Pentagon Papers hit in 1971, the FBI transitioned away from bulk domestic surveillance & toward law enforcement. By 1975, domestic attacks were down to a single digit percentage of 1970 levels.

US right wing groups have mostly dominated FBI's terror stats since 1990 (unsure if before). I tend to omit the perps who were clearly mentally ill and FBI's handcrafted terror plots. While that doesn't change the numbers overly much, it does help clarify the actuality.

sidebar: Trying to make the case that only LW or RW stats matter seems especially dumb to me. History and reality are what they are.

other sidebar: It's been a decade since FBI (literally) officially abandoned it's law enforcement mandate, to pursue the perks that come with a national security mission. It doesn't seemed to have made us any safer.
That sure would be nice.

Sure. You wouldn't use pure erlang for a game where perf is critical, but not every game is like that.

I bet you could even write a fantastic AAA game by carefully dropping into NIFs as necessary.

I think though my argument is that you also wouldn't use objects for that sort of thing either. The brittleness of the code has nothing to do with the underlying vm, or its performance, or even it's concurrency, and everything to do with the code architecture and data organization, which is isomorphic between genservers and objects.
Do you not see the parallels between your words and those of the Nazi’s?
Think you have a point. But if they can get away with it this time, they be comfortable to cast their influence wider. Then wider still. So I guess to say it's not a problem now means it'll be a bigger one later, and more dangerous.
Show HN: New Fish – tagging time tracker
Modules. Basically something between a namespace and a shared object (.so)
Hi everybody, author here,

New Fish is a time tracker builded around tags. You submit time entries with duration and description. The description can include tags(eg. "#programing", "#project_foo", "#something",...) and the time entries can be later grouped, filtered and analyzed by these tags.

I originally builded this to track time i spend working on accounting company i co-own so i would know which activities would be worth to automate, outsource etc. Also to know how much time is spent per specific client. Now the basic MVP functions are complete and me and also my colleagues are using it daily.

New Fish also has these features so far: teams, mass edit of entries, data export & account delete, REST API, tag autocomplete and filter saving. Now i will be working on adding more analysis capabilities - things like charts, different views, groupings etc.

Happy if you try and happy to chat!

Also this was originally purely client side JS app holding all data in local storage. About a three months back i migrated to server side solution to speed up the development but the the JS app can be still used here: https://github.com/Masa331/fish. However note that it lacks a lot of features.

I'm not sure about Turkey's interest regarding Uighurs at the moment.

I think Turkey has too many open fronts (with US, Syria, Armenia, Greece, Libya, Israel, Iran, etc) to have a concrete idea about how to get into the Uighur thing.

But they will raise the issue from time to time, if not for anything else, to have a pressure point on China themselves, they can use to get some shush money or favorable deals.

Huh, I'm surprised Canadian courts allow (or allowed?) that. The US won't let you just sue foreign governments in its courts like that.
Nobody is saying that. However currently the Chinese ruling class is getting away with this horror without any repercussions. International condemnation from world leaders might be enough to stop this horror, but so far we are not even seeing that from the international community. More realistically it would take a lot more then only condemnation. We would probably need to see sanctions against the Chinese ruling class and Chinese state owned businesses, and probably we would need to see the Chinese excluded from international cultural and sports events (such as the Olympics).

Usually it's when you want decentralized validation of time-series data. E.g. The egg industry adopts a solution whereby the chicken are tracked on a blockchain so people know which chickens are kept outdoors and which are indoors. The eggs are then tracked and checked in at each quality gate and the consumer then gets a QR code for an app that tells them where the egg came from and where it was checked for tampering etc.

A blockchain isn't the only solution available, and it doesn't require a public blockchain. A blockchain could work in this space for storing decentralized time-series signatures.
IMO Solarpunk is cool, but it's not going to offer many realistic social lessons or warnings like cyberpunk does because it still relies on globalisation, huge logistics networks, and large factories to support the lifestyle and direction it promotes. In that sense, it's at odds with itself because there's still a divided population who have to work to support that infrastructure while the solarpunks get the real freedom of living.

I don't deny that they'd be able to hide transmission for a period. But they would not be able to hide thousands of cases a day. Since the virus has logistic transmission properties when not suppressed, if what they are doing were not sufficient we would quickly see them having too many cases to keep under wraps.
