My hero in this regard is Erik Meijer who went to Microsoft purposefully to bring Haskell concepts to .NET as he recounts in "Confessions of a Used language Salesman: Getting the Masses Hooked on Haskell" (2010) [1] He put async/await in Dart after working on it in C#, a feature I really appreciate. From my limited understanding and I hope someone will correct me, it is a continuation monad. Everything I know about monads comes from "Explain Monads Like I'm five" by Theofanis Despoudis [2]

"After failing to sell solving real world problems to the Haskell community, as well as failing to sell Haskell to the real world, I started to wonder whether pushing for pure functional languages was actually the right strategy. Maybe I thought, I should sell my soul to the most popular programming paradigm, objects, and to the company that has the biggest market share, Microsoft...

My main reason to join Microsoft as the company to infuse mainstream programming languages with monads and other functional programming features was that I believed the quickest road to success would be to work on adding support for exotic language features to the new Common Language Runtime..."

If your mental model is that an array is zero-indexed but circular, I think arr[-1] still is consistent with that model. If you don’t think of arrays as circular, then sure, it doesn’t make sense.

I’m still in agreement that negative indices make it more confusing than just calculating based off the length, but I get why they exist.

I'm not sure it's so rosy in Oakland. For commercial real-estate in oakland, we were hit with the reverse -- rent kept going up as folks like Uber were eyeing it. Community housing groups were rightfully concerned for the relatively poor community as well. It reached the point that we moved to a spot in SF (union square) because prices reached a similar level. We went fully-remote right before covid as we had a remote culture, so not sure how it is now.

If true, good to hear Oakland is fixing the path it was on..

Elementary Schooling - At a young age teaching skills such as Critical Thinking, Self awareness, Inculcating curiosity to understand others perspective, understanding logical fallacies, Ethical behavior are not prioritized. In a way these are more important than learning the normal sciences which can be taught at a later age.

Young people get neglected too, they are just much less likely to die (immediately) from it.
I imagine they said the same thing about trying to find something to kill scary things that get into our bodies and kill us from easy-to-die-to diseases.

Great idea! There was a system in the late 1800, early 1900 in Sweden. There would be a ventilation whole from the outside leading to the cold storage area. But these seems to have been forgotten since the refrigerator was invented.

We would need todo the same thing but more modern take with a heat exchanger/heat pumps. That would save gadzallions amount of energy used for cooling refrigerators. Depending on climate of course.

> One benefit (with respect to the CPU) of pure functions is that they can be cached

Only if the input space is very small. If your function takes as input two booleans and a string you know is an ID from a relatively static and small set of IDs, memoization is the way to go. If your function takes in two arbitrary floats, trying to memoize anything will only make your program run slower and leak memory.
With HN, from the comments I get an idea of whether or not the language as a tool fits the solution in a unique way, or if it is a novelty.

So even if I cannot read the code, I can mentally get an idea that tool X is a good fit for problem Y should it ever come up for me.
I see undocumented instruction extensions as a special case of private API: it buys Apple the freedom to change the underlying implementation in the future. As long as done in a manner that is not anticompetitive, I don't see the problem.

Last time I visited Tokyo I bought a sleek little folding Bluetooth keyboard that fits in my pocket but unfolds to nearly full size and types very comfortably. By just unfolding it, it pairs with my Android phone and the on-screen keyboard disappears. Folding it up triggers the phone keyboard to reappear. I take it with me whenever I expect to write anything about as long as this comment.

Being generally a luddite when it comes to devices, I'm honestly shocked at how seamless the pairing process is.

I don't know why they don't sell these in North America.

The cameras are also in neighborhoods, and if you have neighbors, you probably have several cameras pointing at your property, too.

The holy grail in hair-loss would be one-time fix, or more optimistically, one pill a day.

Today, just to stall your hair-loss / keep hair, you'll need to be on minoxidil (foam / liquid, twice a day) and finasteride and/or dutasteride (pill). Though many will use more products - and as of lately, microneedling your scalp has gained popularity.

Some of these meds have adverse health effects, but in the end - they can be expensive and time-consuming, and results range from poor/no effect, to good.

A hair-transplant could cost you between $10k-$50k, depending on where you get one. Musk has had a HT, but probably needs to stay on the meds mentioned above, to halt any other loss that's going on.

Long story short: The current solutions are expensive and time consuming. It becomes a lifestyle / daily routine, like with other chronic illnesses. And the effects can disappear if/when you can no longer afford them.

The meaty claim from the article, sans the argument that gets there:

> I believe that, when faced with injustice, we should sometimes get somewhat angry. Such anger is not “pure” and entails submitting oneself to (some degree of) moral corruption, but the alternative, acquiescence, is often even worse. The point I want to emphasize, however, is this: just because the moral corruption of anger is our best option doesn’t mean it is not corruption.

> The consequences of acknowledging this point are sobering: victims of injustice are not as innocent as we would like to believe. Either these victims are morally compromised by the vengeful and grudge-bearing character of their anger, or they are morally compromised by acquiescence. Long-term oppression of a group of people amounts to long-term moral damage to that group. When it comes to racism, sexism, homophobia, anti-Semitism, ableism, classism, religious discrimination, anti-neurodiversity, elitism of any stripe, this argument entails that the oppressors have made the oppressed morally worse people.

While I actually don't disagree and I think the conclusion (and the piece) has value and is even novel, and am utterly scared of how this can be twisted if it becomes widely discussed.

For me, the correct/helpful implications go as such: when it comes to oppressors and the oppressed, this is a very compelling argument that tone policing revolution from the oppressed is only doing further harm, and that we must see anger (and its resulting symptoms) as a natural and blameless response to said oppression. If you want to help people who are being oppressed, you need to be constructive to a message, not in pursuit of making it perfectly moral and clean when oppression literally becomes an attack on the morals of those being oppressed. I don't think it's hard to imagine how this extends to hot button issues like racial equality and policing in the US today.

What I am scared of is that this will only embolden the crowd that is morally policing revolution and activism today to point and be like "look see, you aren't perfectly moral, fix it so we can stop your oppression!", missing the entire point and putting more ideological, emotional, and literal labor back onto oppressed groups. I only hope others can highlight this distinction if/when this idea gains notoriety.
If exiting injustices are any indication I predict the following:

In democracies that will likely result in speed limits and traffic laws that reflect how people actually drive or reduced penalties or reduced fines to the point where a large enough fraction of the population can pay to play. And then half of HN will hand wring about how we have an 85mph speed limit on the interstate and won't somebody think of the children.

There will be a few rich suburbs (the kind of places where the electorate clutches their pearls at the idea of anyone breaking any law even though they all text and drive in their land rovers and pay their baby-sitters under the table) that figure out they can just do it to outsiders only and create a revenue stream. They'll have a good 5-10yr run in the time it takes the courts to smack them down.
You can still edit them, just tap edit in the top left and then the alarm. Why we can’t just tap the alarm and save a step I don’t know. The small text input UI instead of the old scrolling thing (I’m aware it still scrolls, just harder to use) is terrible though.
> In my practice of FP, it tends to force me to make state explicit and and available.

Ha, I think I get what you mean. The state that you do have is generally called out more visibly. I do think that's a product of defaulting to state avoidance, since the thing you're avoiding becomes more visible whenever it is present.

I think FP does a good job of pushing as much state as possible into the "state in the continuation" category, but there seems to be a hard kernel of mutable state that doesn't dissolve so easily. On the bright side, that makes for a bright, shining target to aim research at (LVars, CRDTs, logic programming).

> there’s something that feels very distinct between static and runtime state

For what it's worth, I'm only thinking about runtime state here. Can you call out where it seems like I'm referring to static state?
Did you know that couples can and do use sex toys? There's a whole industry for it!

And, with long-distance relationships, smart sex-toys can facilitate the more intimate times in a more fulfilling way than standard phone or type-sex.

A loving and committed couple could, while apart due to, perhaps, a conference or business trip or anything else, enjoy the company of one-another in that way perfectly well.
I teach at the high school level. I fervently believe that the lack of any kind of modernization of assessment tools for k12 educators is a profound impediment to the advancement of education (and instead we flail around with fads and bullshit).

There are millions of assessment items created and administered by instructors everyday in the United States, but the results are unreliable so we spend billions on standardize testing which is “trustworthy” while also (often) having negative externalities. We accept this dual system because the two modes of assessment have different goals, but it is wildly inefficient.

If it were possible to create an assessment platform that supported the rapid generation of unique and trustable assessments[1], we could have 1) more frequent/less costly assessments of student progress, 2) better instructor accountability, and 3) greater opportunities for non-traditional educational pacing.

[1] more ‘contextual autocomplete’ than ‘discrete item creation’ as a primary mechanism for assessment creation. Yes, someone has to create the original bank of assessment materials - but, for the love of god, how many times has an assessment been developed on “To Kill a Mockingbird”, the Pythagorean Theorem, etc? Make the tool slick enough for content creation that it is at least on par with current offerings, do automated assessment analysis a la College Board, et. al. in the background on all submitted content, and then allow the instructor to create an assessment based on the class & lesson context as easily as accepting/rejecting a list of questions as a final “cultural fit” culling. Ideally, this final step would be completed as quickly as the instructor can read and reject assessment items such that they could - conceivably- be able to create and administer an assessment during a lesson in a manner that is reactive to the immediate progress of the students. Reduce the assessment feedback loop time this much and the ground would move under the profession.

Edit: for those asking via email, the core tech here to be developed (at least initially) is automating the assessment analysis: how do you know the assessment items are correctly assessing what you want them to?

Once you have that there would be downstream effects on instructional design, pathways to graduation, talent identification, etc. - but that’s the special sauce.

The labor of assessment analysis is what provides the creators of standardized tests the ability to maintain a monopoly on trustworthy assessments. They will not themselves develop the tech to do this analysis in an automated and distributed fashion as it would undermine their core business. In this way, they seem to be trapped in a classic innovators dilemma.
One underlying assumption is that, ideally, humans would behave similarly in regards to anger.

I find this to be false. You need a diversity of responses.

E.g, I am an ecclesiastical stoic that gets angry about twice a decade. My wife is not, and that makes us a great team in various circumstances.

tl;dr you need communities of individuals to approach anger differently.
Can you point out where in the article you read that or where you got that information?

Is Schopenhauer's View on Pleasure Correct?
I guess you can't out Apple apple. Apple has the culture and cultural force to sell you a laptop with ports you don't like or a weird keyboard. Part of buying an Apple product is being on a certain cutting design edge and being someone's beta tester. Its not a sharp edge and its a very mature beta, but there's a sort of agreement you sign your name to when you buy a Mac.

In the PC world, the consumer space is dominated by anti-design nerdy guys who demand every port imaginable, and for good reason, and the business end is similar with their own legacy demands. Big changes in any way, be it features or lack-of are frowned upon and mocked (no wireless less space than a nomad -lame).

No one is going to win here because no one else can have Apple's market. The incentives to win on the PC side are just too different. And even then, you can just bootcamp Windows or Linux and buy the 'real' Apple you want anyway. Honestly, its a small miracle something like Apple even exits in the tech space. Its usually a race to the bottom on half-cooked features, general cheapness, and terrible UIs. Somehow Apple broke free of that and never looked back.

A patched version of macOS that Apple provided could just be a AMI on EC2. They run it on x86 test boxes internally, at least until they complete the transition to Apple Silicon, so it should be possible.

Apple just doesn’t want to support it, and for developers, they want them to buy Macs to work on and only use VMs when absolutely necessary.

I want to buy a bicycle but bicycles cost $10k right now because of a parts shortage. But what if I want a bike, and also car would be $20k, so actually bicycles are pretty cheap!

At the end of the day though, when the short term situation resolves itself, that bike is still worth $500 and it wasn't cheap.

I think the fallacy here is that you don't HAVE to buy returns. You could choose to just eat the inflation or pick an alternative asset class.
It's why I pirate at 720p x265, the files are tiny. I'd rather have a extremely large and varied Emby instance than 200 movies in Ultra Bluray Remux.
This is nonsensical. Apple is a hardware company before they are software. In addition, they would have to provide support for the software running on hardware that they don't know, understand or whatever else.

It would have been more likely for AWS to give specs to Apple, who could have then created a custom job for some extra monies.

In reality though, using Mac Minis is perfectly reasonable. It's likely the cheapest option for both Apple and Amazon.
Beyond remote work, this will be an even bigger issue with automation in the future.

I can't see university grads opting for 5 remote work days a week unless they've already got a big bubble. It's the people in their 40s with kids already who love fully remote work the most.
Google may as well be a monopoly in some sectors (including search and ads), but they don't use physical violence or coercion. Thus, from the view of someone in favour of free markets, I can only oppose forcing Google to split up. It is immoral to force Google to split up, in my opinion.
Exactly. This sounds like pure propaganda. They're measuring experimental results and calling it a computer.
