Detecting circular structures (sometimes just called graphs), is a solved problem. The Lisp reader and printer even serialize them correctly: #1=(42 . #1#) makes a pair of two items. The first item is a 42 and the second is the pair itself.

It sounds like whoever implemented this just didn't know what they were doing.
> Did the people who found reddit involved with it anyway now?

It was founded by three people:

Aaron Swartz, who committed suicide over bullshit charges.

Alexis Ohanian, who resigned from reddit's board in June this year.

Steve Huffman (AKA spez) who's still around as a CEO.

But nowadays the latter two try to erase Swartz's legacy (https://i.imgur.com/a3dARxi.jpg).

Schema and spec do not target the same functionality.

In general I agree that it would be best if a small community does not spread itself too thin, but on the other hand, can't Hickey, Miller et al work on what they are interested in? They have published rationales for why those "splintering" works are of interest and they make sense. It seems incongruent to happily use a tool that was born out of an opinionated design, and then complain when the authors keeps pushing their opinionated PL design.

India, the largest democracy, is going through a period right now where one party is running the country and the law in almost a dictatorship-like manner. For reference, google "India farm bills".

Probably, but then HN commenters could reduce this tendency of stating that whole scientific disciplines don't know what they're doing/are full of deluded morons. Particularly when it comes to physics. At some point you have to mention the other possibility.
> They won a plurality, not a majority

You speak of this as if it's not a legitimate electoral structure in place in many countries today, especially America. When OP says they voted fascists into power it carries the same weight whether it was by majority or plurality, in the former case it means most people 'wanted' it, in the latter it means enough people were okay with letting it happen.
Note: Ansible is not “agent free” when installing on remote servers. It depends on ssh. Which is an agent. It may be pre-installed on some machines, but it’s still an agent. This also means it works for Linux-based servers, but won’t help you with Windows-based servers — unless you install an Ansible agent.

Moreover, we discovered back in the mid-90s that parallel ssh across many clients is inherently un-scalable. That’s why popular tools like Puppet and Chef come with their own low-impact agents, which is a lesson that the Ansible team has had to re-learn.

In addition, YAML isn’t a great configuration language. It’s possible to have an unintentional truncation that still results in a syntactically correct file that is no longer complete nor semantically correct.

I’m a fan of Chef, for many reasons. IMO, Ansible makes all the wrong decisions for the wrong reasons, based on their limited understanding of the problem space at the time, and so they’ve had to re-learn the hard way all those lessons that Puppet and Chef had already learned.

But hey, if you want a hammer, and you want everything to look like nails, then you can choose to go for it.

I disagree with #25. It seems to me that change is a subject to a kind of no-free-lunch, if everything is easy to change in your system, then it doesn't do anything useful. IMHO you always have to be opinionated and predict what change is more likely and adapt to that.

Speaking of change, regarding #1. I am not clear how to reconcile (Agile's?) "embrace change" with the well-known observation that fixing a problem in a SW system seems to be more difficult later in the design-implement-test cycle. Commonly, this is addressed by making that cycle smaller, but it seems to only constrain the design space (large and consistent designs are ruled out). (There is probably a good reason why we don't build buildings using Agile, but we gather requirements first and then build it.)

Finally, I would add a rule - Don't change what works.
From the tweet:

I guess it's aimed at putlocker & co in that case? I'm surprised that they both lasted so long and that we need any extra laws to regulate them. If mega got prosecuted, that seems like a proof we don't need more rules.

This is the biggest problem. People are losing faith in the restrictions and are starting to believe into various conspiracy theories. Most of this is due to inability to distinguish between accurate and false information.

Another problem is that CDC and other agencies at first were openly lying and trying to downplay the virus or say how masks were not effective. This leads to people not trusting what they say because everyone can remember how they were against masks and now are in favor of masks. Then you add in politicians with mixed messages and you get highly doubtful public.

IFR is around 1% in the western world. That is incredibly high for something that could become as seasonal as flu.
You are writing functional code mostly?
Classes and methods are just sugar around namespaces, functions with implicit "this" params, and some extra markup around design ownership (ie private members).

You don't gain or lose state with classes alone. Your examples didn't remove any state. X is still there, its just not B.x.

What you're fighting against is side effects and reducing what is in scope at any given time. One could argue that the goal of classes is the same!

Sadly one can write terrible, leaky code in either style.
I really liked obviously awesome, but one thing she cautions against is applying her methodology too early. She says you need to know who your "best customers" are. So if you're too early and don't feel you know who those are (i.e. you don't yet have any customers or you got them just because they're your friends, etc.) then her methods won't necessarily lead you to the right place.
That is a general pattern that I see a lot of these days: people pretending to have changed their minds by the sheer power of the evidence, when really they were always on side. Maybe we need a new word for this.
This is the most HN article I have ever seen.
Living here I find their messaging contradictory and confusing. You should social distance—but we'll give you discounts on eating out, the more people the bigger the discount (Go To Eat Campaign)!

Coupled with the articles earlier on in the pandemic talking about doctors being unable to give their patients COVID tests (which may have had more to do with limited supplies or the lack of treatment capability, to be fair) [1][2][3]; as well as the pretty high cost of getting a negative PCR test result here (I got a test, tested positive (minor case), and it was covered by national insurance for around $15; but my friends who tested negative after coming in contact with me, paid about $300 each for their tests) leads me to think the published numbers are probably pretty inaccurate.

I'm not really complaining as society seems to be functioning fine, but if the numbers were worse I would be.

that may be true if men and women are actually considered equal, but you are ignoring until recently it was commonly accepted that women are weaker, and generally less capable than men.

therefore the assumption must be that women are paid less because of of this perceived difference, and any claim that women are actually less productive must be proven with extraordinary evidence.

Couldn’t agree more. But my colleagues make a point of keeping cryptic code cryptic because comments explaining context and reasoning are for noobs.

The right to bear arms was enshrined when the US didn't have a standing army. The military never dissolves back into the populace, rendering a few poorly trained people with a few guns (no APCs, no tanks, no hellfire drones) completely ineffectual. It's completely pointless today.
Evolution through natural selection depends on mutation. If we stopped all mutation, we would stop evolution too. We would be stuck in local optima, never trying to find a better global optimum.

Not every new practice will work out. The bad ones will be weeded out by natural selection. But if we try to stop evolution by discouraging mutation, we will stagnate.
If the US had a Constitutional Court (like some European countries do) that verified bills for constitutionality after being signed by the President, 90%-95% of these obviously unconstitutional bills Congress passes these days would get rejected. They wouldn't take 10-40 years to reach the Supreme Court and finally be verified for constitutionality.

And before anyone says "but the US only has adversarial courts" - well, the US had a secret spy court for more than a decade that rubberstamped anything the NSA/FBI requested, and it didn't seem to be an issue until the Snowden documents leaked and there was major backlash against it.

But honestly, a Constitutional Court is what the US needs right now. Something to stop the insanity of politicians in the mid-term.

Long-term, you stop their insanity by actually preventing them from getting elected in the first place. You do that by getting rid of money in politics, the FPTP voting system that promotes party a 2-party system and extreme polarization, and gerrymandering (a proportional representation voting system would fix both of the last 2 issues).

Reddit used to be about free speech and internet activism, now it's about censorship and pushing a political agenda.

It's really amazing how you can go from awesome to super shitty. Reddit has implemented an automated thought police which means you will be banned if you upvote what they think is bad things.

It's really disgusting. Personally I went from loving reddit to hating it. If you like China and censorship, reddit is a great place for you.
"These were run on a Core i7 Razor Blade 15 under Fedora 33 with mitigations turned off."

It would be better to test JS client frameworks on something that's more similar to what the bulk of end users will be using.

The article also states "How different is 400ms from 200ms?" Well that could be a huge difference on a typical user device (and possibly more like 1s+ vs 400ms).
Yes and no. There's real production cases where even default Clojure can result in the same or faster performance than Java. One hypothetical case is a system that does a lot of complex in-memory reads and a few writes to persistent data structures. That kinda of system could be faster than the Java equivalent, out of the box, in Clojure.

A write-heavy system would benefit Java mutable collections out of the box. Clojure can get pretty close to Java with transients and a good dose of type hinting in all the right places.

When we say "faster" or "slower" it's equally important to specify "faster" or "slower" when and where. It's a complex question with no easy answer.

"It even had a cameo in the beginning of the novel coronavirus pandemic. Media outlets stumbled on a 2017 info­graphic from the Centers for Disease Control showing which facial hair styles were OK with a standard respirator or N95 mask and which styles were less ideal because they “crossed the seal,” allowing all manner of nasty little things access to your wide-open mouth."

It's worth pointing out that boxes of N95 face masks made by different manufactures that I acquired before COVID-19 struck—which I'd regularly used in industrial environments against dust and dangerous particulates—all stated that facial hair/beards would significantly reduce the effectiveness of the mask.

This is stating the damn obvious. It is also worth noting that pre-COVID-19 some industrial environments that required people to wear masks also banned people with facial hair/beards for the reason that masks would not be as effective on said wearers.
I agree with the sentiment that things should be made as simple as possible. The sine function really has no reason to be anything besides a function. I am not sure, though, that writing the simplest thing possible results in mostly pure functions. In my experience programming is mostly about managing a state. My programming jobs have generally been about tracking what the state of some other piece of hardware and/or software is. It seems hard to escape state in that case. In my spare time I have lately been writing a compiler like thing. That seems to be, among other things, about maintaining a stack of all the stuff that has been defined/declared previously. If so many things are about maintaining a state, how practical is this 'mostly functions' thing actually?
And "Clean Coder".

Try to write the code in a way that it's easily readable. Depending on the language and compiler you may have an optimizer that helps you to write readable code yet performant byte code.
1) Unlimited LTE plan. Allowed us to work from our sailboat for the five summer months of the Covid lockdown, and will likely provide for the same next year (I'm not assuming going back to the office anytime soon)

2) Pressure cooker. Since we're cooking every day now, this makes a lot of meals faster and easier. Saves a lot of fuel when cooking on the boat as well

3) Pantry full of shelf-stable foods. We test-provisioned for longer boat trips at home last winter, which was suddenly extremely useful when Covid hit and panic buying emptied shelves in stores.

You can use SO_REUSEADDR and SO_REUSEPORT to bind multiple instances to the same port. This means you will be using the Linux network stack as load balancer though.

This surprises me too. Particularly since traditional media seem to be struggling and have endured decades of falling profits and belt-tightening. You'd imagine that competition for journalist positions would be tight and one of the easiest "filters" would be "Did this person leave a recent job because of plagiarism?"
I think the easiest way to explain point-free is this bash snippet:

grok () {
grep -v DEBUG | sort -n | uniq | tail
}

Unlike a generic pure function, it forcibly abstracts away arguments. It's a bunch of other functions combined somehow, but it's impossible to know the type/structure/semantics of the input. And in most cases also of the output! Although it's less visible in my example.
I am aware of that. They are one of the oldest tax payer funded broadcaster in America. All sources are corroborated twice. My aunt worked for VOA in the 60s. I am aware that it’s intended audience is mostly non Americans and some consider it propaganda. I have never considered it so. My 2c. OMMV.
