>That's great, because the purity of Haskell does not inhibit mutability. It just constrains it to lie within some mutable context.

Haskell does inhibit mutability within your haskell program. Your haskell program does not mutate. What it does is it that it does IO operations and the mutations happen externally. It can also model mutation without doing actual mutation but in the end there's no point in a program modelling mutation if the program can't actually do mutation or IO.

>Location? What is a location? It's like you're saying you can't truly add 3 + 3, because someone still has to add 1s under the hood. It's just a different model of the same problem.

Location meaning outside of haskell. Like your database. I'm saying within haskell you have a variable.

x = 3

You can never mutate that variable in haskell. However you can mutate the state of the console without ever mutating any state within haskell.

print "hello"

The above triggers no mutation in haskell. A runtime outside of the haskell universe analyzes the IO instructions and mutates the console. What I am saying is that the thing that mutates the console has to do mutation. Whoever wrote that thing HAS to write imperative primitives. They are moving the imperative nature of programming INTO a framework. They are not eliminating the problem.

This is the same thing as a database string. UPDATE. You are moving all the imperative errors that have to deal with threading and mutations to the database. But your haskell sql string is still pure.

Again my argument is just saying that this thing that is doing the UPDATE or mutating the console cannot be built using haskell style code or immutable algebraic concepts. Imperative primitives need to exist and someone needs to use those primitives to do the actual mutations.

The OP is basically saying algebra is the future and it can replace everything. I'm saying it CAN'T.

>Honestly, it sounds to me like you've never used the language, and your criticisms come off a bit like standing on an aircraft carrier shouting about how iron boats will never float.

And honestly you sound like the guy standing on the iron boat. The person I'm shouting at is you, but you're just dismissing me.
It is an upper bound essentially for a sustainable company and is a point of convergence "your salary <= your value add". It actually maxing out implies being done only because all supply is accounted for. A bigger "value add - salary" essentially moves towards the front of the queue for hiring.

If given two "equal" canidates why pay more if you don't have to? (The actual equality given other complications like cultural, language barriers, and similiar is another topic.)

The "fairness" is also not mathematically viable as it assumes axiomatically that no action can be taken to earn profit that isn't "unfair" as the deserved value is based upon output and not input provided, which leaves no room for expansion nor buffer and no incentive to actually operate a business.

TL;DR - most popular understanding of economics is pretty damn confused.

Seen this before. When you actually look closely into it is always far more complicated than it is presented and they always omit important information. In many of these examples is someone quoted something he said over 30-40 years ago and they happen to remember everything perfectly. I can't remember what I said a month ago on any particular subject. I find a lot of these stories hard to believe.

It is always the same pattern, whenever you point pop your head over the parapit and say "Look I think you are being a bit ridiculous about <controversial character>, I think it is a bit overblown". You always have people googling every hit piece that ever been written about them (usually by a partisan news outlet) and then you are expected to rebut every claim. I can't possibly do that.

I will stick to what I said before. I don't believe anything any of these media outlets print. This btw goes for both left wing, right wing it doesn't matter they all outright lie whether that is by omission or overtly.

You people can play team sports if you want. I am not doing it.

> Has any other President actively tried to harm states he didn't like? Trump has.

I doubt this is the case. Most examples I've seenwhere he and one of the Governers were engaging in some Realpolitik.

No, people really did go overboard. Unless you are running a small orphanage no one needs a Costco cart stocked double high with only toilet paper.

There were also a fair amount of people thinking they could be smart and hoarding to later price gouge, but this mostly fell apart and there were articles about how people were mad at Costco's policy of not allowing returns on toilet paper and paper towels.

Probably the correct answer is: whatever rebuilds the soil.

Forests represent the mature phase of an ecosystem, so jumping right into tree planting from barren field is likely not the best idea. You look at the edges of a road cut through a forest and you get an idea of the phases of regrowth for a forest. "Weeds", ie. smaller grasses and annuals, are the first pioneers. They then give way to bushes, and then later, trees, as the soil's capacity grows.

There's still so much we don't know about living soil, but most of what we do know points to soil health being the key ingredient to healthy ecosystems. How much we can accelerate that through tree planting and what not is likely very dependent on local environment.
You can use the "download your data" feature of Google to download a copy. However you have to manually trigger the export. Also no incremental download so it can be a lot of data being transferred.

An alternative to the "add more complexity" of Bobs & Angels is to push for more throughput.

"Desktop OpenGL development is dying anyway"

Maybe yes, but then that's only market share lost to DirectX. I don't see the triple-A video game market shrinking anytime soon.

As for the Sandbox, Microsoft recently disabled GPU virtualization because, apparently, sandboxing a GPU is really difficult. For video games, that sandbox is not used in practice. You can access pretty much all the GPU memory that you want.

As for the different threat model, a video game tends to have a clear distributor. A website is more anonymous and, hence, inherently less trustworthy.
This is cool, but I think it's a pretty big omission not to include a trackpad/nub or something to make this fully integrated (I use a Logitech K400 with my RPI 4 and having the trackpad on board is huge) - it's not really that fun to do default NOOBs/Ubuntu with no mouse, and having an attached USB mouse while, say, sitting on a couch, is a bit lame.

The 80s systems with this form factor mostly didn't have mice, and the joysticks were just as lap-able as the keyboard.

That said, this was a timely move, and should only help them get folks up and running.

I got a full RPI 4 kit for my team for the holidays last year, and getting it all assembled and running was a huge hurdle for technical adults who've never used linux/built a computer.

If you're not going to build a website on the domain thus won't be bothered with seo and stuff, why .com?

The New York Times (known for its hostility to labor unions — hahahaha actually known for the opposite) wrote the article referenced in this piece: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/28/nyregion/new-york-subway-...

In this article, they bring in the guy in charge of Crossrail (which runs right through Central London, at one point going between two existing transit lines with about a meter clearance on each side.) His first reaction was, perhaps, much like the first reaction of any casual observer would be: "What are all these people doing here just standing around?"

NYC union rules still require oilers on cranes (because it's still 1930 or something and our cranes all need the constant attention of someone resupplying their oil) and the union is paid a big fee for every tunnel boring machine, to compensate them for all the jobs lost (relative to half a century ago).

Of course, the MTA station design principles (mentioned elsewhere in this thread) do not help, excavating large caverns via mining, and the MTA doesn't know how to run a large program effectively and maintain good relations with its contractors, and of course there are a variety of exciting reported cases where the MTA doesn't even know why a person on the construction site is there or getting paid to begin with, so there's plenty of disaster to go around. Either way it works to the same result: we can't have nice things in this town.

The CO2 part is easier to predict than nature's response, it's also the part that we humans have more control over. Part of the problem with assuming nature will do its thing is that it could take much longer for nature to sort out than what our short lifespans can reasonably feel comfortable with.
That's kind of my point – that it doesn't even need to fully balance the scales to be better than the alternative. In order to guard against food shortages in bad years we incentivize over-production in all years. If this over-production has to happen regardless (meaning the energy inputs are a sunk cost regardless), then why not recoup as much of it as a fuel as possible instead of dumping it in a hole somewhere?
That's been my impression of Vermont -- everywhere you turn, farmhouses with caved-in roofs, pastureland gone back to forest, shuttered country churches, forested hillsides where you can just make out what used to be a ski slope by the change in vegetation. On my last visit I had an almost opressive sense that stubborn nature was reclaiming the state. I usually enjoy the woods, but the sense of desolation in rural Vermont can be eerie.
> The reason that junk like flat design and derivatives like Material Design are awful for usability has nothing to do with being old and everything to do with being unpredictable.

I'm surprised to see you mentioning the flat design trend as something you consider "old" in any way. I see it as a fad that is past its peak but still far too prevalent to regard as being in the past. And when I was talking about platform native UI conventions, I definitely had older stuff in mind than Windows 8.

> Well, firstly, a testing methodology is literally the opposite of worthless if it gives you an objective measure of the increased financial value generated by a change under consideration.

See, this is the biggest problem here. I'm talking about usability and value to the user. You're talking about optimizing the UI to exploit the users for your maximum profit. Those two motivations are obviously not well-aligned, and if you're on the side of that divide where the ad-tech stuff is, then you're not even trying to have the same conversation I'm having. Your incentives are to maximize the user's engagement with your product, so of course you don't care about how well it fits into their multitasking workflow; you want to monopolize the user's time.
1) you can hash together email + randomsalt + password and then store randomsalt and the hashed value

2) you avoid passwords altogether by giving a user an authentication token to be saved as a bookmark perhaps? The token contains a cryptographic signature
We know how it works, and it's a simple version of a Fourier transform. The cochlea has hairs of different lengths that vibrate according to the contribution of the sine wave that corresponds to the resonant frequency of that hair's length. By the time neurons get involved at all, it's already a signal of the frequency domain over time.
Late addition is more indicative of value than appearing in first releases. People guess about the base instruction set, but additions happen only in response to high demand.
What has become of HN. Why are so many people defending this practice because "You agreed to this when you signed up."

Are so many unscrupulous people now members of HN?

Even if this practice is legal, which is questionable, it's very likely immoral, and very obviously a jerk move.

It's both amazing and alarming to me how the overton window on HN has changed. Obviously unscrupulous and questionable practices are defended on the grounds of "yeah but its not actually _illegal_"

Maybe I'm just out of touch with the state of the industry, might be time to move on from HN in general.

Hi, I'm a self taught full-stack developer but I've recently found my calling on the on frontend and UI design.

It depends if the displaced people can benefit from the ability to create or participate in the newly created business opportunities.

For example, I can now search for real estate listings without talking to any agent or broker. Used to be someone needed to be paid to keep their ear to the ground and alert you if possible deals. Now, a lot of that is automated, and even if an agent or broker is required, 1 can probably do the work of 5 or 10.

What are those displaced agents and brokers going to do? Learn how to program and make a website showing 3D tours of the house? Even that only needs 1 or 2 solitons. Point being that while long term change can be positive, the short term turbulence can be negative for many. I posit it’s the reason for so much of the political turmoil these days, but that’s a different discussion.
In order for the linux compat to be generally useful, we really need to get electron apps working, which means getting chrome itself working.

There are some commercial software packages that run which are useful in more limited scopes. For example, I run a linux PVR server (SageTV), and Intel's Vtune GUI. But getting chrome & electron working would enable tons of commercial linux apps.
70 is younger than you think it is.

My dad is in his seventies, and just built an addition on the house alone, by hand in his free time while working a full-time job. From pouring the slab, to framing, to roofing, to electrical just because he was bored.

I think there's a lot to be said for arriving at your seventies still being the kind of person who goes, 'I'm bored, I need to go and build something with my hands.' There's obviously a lot of luck involved in not having any major health complications, but fortune favors the prepared.

Being relentlessly active and curious is a really, really big deal as you age and it's so easy to fall in the trap of retiring, and sitting on the couch with a beer watching Fox news.

This was not to say "Private citizens think US spying is good" (even though you'd be surprised how many non technical people think so).
