I’d say that the value of Haskell is in all of the lessons we learn from the research that it enables. Language designers are constantly looking to languages like Haskell for well thought-out / sound features they can add to make programming easier in other languages. I’m not sure why, but Haskell is an amazing hotbed for experimentation with new language features.

You don’t have to use Haskell directly to benefit from it.

Saying that it’s a shibboleth—well, that’s kind of a crass way to dismiss an entire community. It’s rude and not insightful.

I am an individual, not some nameless entity that can only think as a collective. I, personally, don't believe that a free society should be told what kind of merchandise they can sell or not sell at a checkout line. That goes for literally anything.

A business that does "harmful things", such as stocking chocolate bars next to customers while they are idle in a queue (Shocking! How dare they commit such a heinous act! This is a public health atrocity!), clearly sees a mutually beneficial arrangement in where they put what merchandise. The customer has a need fulfilled (They see something they want and agree to purchase it for a marked price), and the business generates revenue. There is nothing inherently wrong with that.

Do you people really sit there and think anyone that buys something because they want it and it's readily available is too stupid to know the dangers of eating too much unhealthy food? Do you think that they are being physically manipulated into buying it? Yes, unhealthy foods generally stimulate the brain and create a desire for more, but the same justification can be used to go the full mile and ban them outright if you are so concerned. That'll probably happen eventually anyways, and you don't want to be on the wrong side of history!
Well then competitors will hopefully learn to keep their equipment under lock and key and/or maintain a record of custody. If it can be proven that a competitor was sabotaged, the life DQ would be reversed obviously.

> I think the more important point, somewhat ironically made on HN, is the critical effects of sleeplessness and promoting healthy sleep as a national public health priority. It seems to me this is just another pernicious example of how lockdowns and disrupting a population’s routines directly and indirectly damages public health.

Does this really blame it all on lockdowns? All I see is "lockdowns are damaging", which is certainly true whatever your political beliefs.

>It gets pretty hard to distinguish this coin from an unbiased one.

All you're doing is trying to reinvent the Law of Large Numbers - nothing in this post shows a perfect hash function, and in fact is demonstrating my point - by you putting biased data into a hash you're getting biased data out.

To completely remove the bias you need infinite flips. And thus you have improved nothing.

Next, if you're going to flip 100 times to get 1 bit out, simply use the Neumann method - it does work, uses only a few flips on average.

Here's a proof why your method doesn't work: Let p = prob of getting a 1, q = 1-p is prob of getting a 0. Then XORing n of these together is a 1 iff there are an odd number of 1 bits. This happens Sum_{j=1 to N by odd} nCj p^j (1-q)^(n-j) of the time. This simplifies to (1-(1-2p)^n)/2. For this to be exactly 1/2, which is no bias, p must be exactly 1/2. There is no other value that doesn't fail.

This argument can be extended to whatever hash functions you want. You're not going to get the outcome you desire no matter how you structure it.

>I'm not sure if you need a cryptographic hash actually.

It matters not the hash. None will do what you want.

This is why when crpyto uses weak PRNGs at the front, even after all the powerful crypto in the middle, they are weakened. You're trying to do what decades of cryptographers know is impossible.
Here we have a nice example.

>$10k/kg LEO.

$2.5k last I heard with the Falcon 9 and SpaceX is aiming to go much lower.

edit: And by much lower Musk means $10/kg to lunar orbit (that's dollars not thousands of dollars). Even if he's off by an order or two of magnitude it's still a lot cheaper.
Rust is still fundamentally a systems programming language and Haskell is a higher-level application programming language. You can do both in either, just as you can write anything in any language that is turing complete. But that doesn't mean a given language is always meant for the kind of thing you're using it for.
The USA is Russia's chosen archenemy (regardless what half of Americans think), with most of Russian intelligence, military and diplomatic effort focused on confronting it. Even when Russia screws over its smaller neighbours they always explain it away as countering America.

But even if it wasn't this whole argument is the good old "I don't have anything to hide" re-stated but for foreign powers. It goes fine until you end up with your piss tape.
Huh, that could be it, some kind of x86 to vliw hypervisor type thing.
A few nits:

(1) C++ has std::to_string nowadays. You don't need to roll your own.

(2) Environment::get would be more efficient if you used a hash table (e.g. unordered_map) instead of many ifs.

(3) It's better to pass std::string and std::vector by const reference, to avoid making a copy. Also take a look at std::string_view.

(4) const char[] is generally preferable to #define.

I wish I could say that I was shocked that the victim of bad facial recognition is black. I wish I could say that I'm shocked that authorities take the word of software over looking at the evidence and thinking, "umm, doesn't look like him..." Or perhaps someone did look and said, "meh, they all look the same to me."

All I know is that I'm highly skeptical that this white guy would suffer the same fate, even if I were to have a similar criminal record. Facial recognition seems to be the polygraph for a new century. But unlike a polygraph, it mostly false positives only for dark-skinned people. While I'm not quite ready to allow my cynicism to let me think it is an intentional feature, I question how many are demanding a fix.
> This doesn't pass the sniff test to me

Is that because, based on other comments here, you're already invested in a kitchen and, as a result, are forgetting to factor in that substantial cost? But that would be like if you owned your own silicon fab. You would no doubt also wonder how anyone could afford to buy their processors from Intel for hundreds of dollars when you can make your own for pennies. But you're not actually making them for pennies when you need to lay the capital upfront.

> Subjectively, I don't think that cooking at home is a "luxury".

The luxury isn't cooking. The luxury is being able to have a large room full of machinery dedicated to preparing meals for, on average, 2.5 people. These days, average people can barely afford living spaces as-is. That room adds to the cost substantially and is not likely to be recouped against eating out, unless eating out means eating at places that are selling entertainment alongside food.

It is true that the typical home kitchen can be more cost effective than food entertainment, but that's only because your home kitchen does not have to provide the entertainment portion. I do not see these being reasonably comparable when talking about the cost of prepared food. Once you add the cost of equivalent entertainment at home, the food entertainment restaurant looks pretty cheap again.

> Generally speaking only the lowest economic strata of the working poor depend heavily on fast & packaged food

Generally speaking, the poor have to buy used houses that already have kitchens for a lot of historical reasons. They have little opportunity to not become invested in the means of production, even when it is not ideal from a purely economic point of view. There are exceptions of places without kitchens, as mentioned earlier in the thread, but they are typically only found where land values are high, where the cost of keeping an existing kitchen is higher than repurposing it.

The wealthy, who are most likely to build new houses, that will one day be sold to the poor, want the luxury of having a kitchen even when it is not economically sound, and so the cycle continues.

Please note that the icE1usb in its final incarnation with the FPGA based approach was almost entirely done by Sylvain Munaut, not myself. So please give credit to him, and not to me.

I don't want to trivialize this article, but I feel like the whole thing can be reduced to the statement "define 'smaller'".

Instead it reads like a "this is what 'smaller' means for intervals" at which point I just want to comment "why?" and add a "[citation needed]" tag.

It all depends on what your interval represents, or how you can agree that it should be treated. Does it relate to confidence intervals? Does it summarise a distribution? Should it relate to stochastic dominance? Should it represent conflicting evidence between true and false? Should it be treated as a fuzzy membership function?
All these interpretations would lead to different, equally valid interpretations for the term 'smaller'.

Even the way you state this I feel is being dismissive of an important aspect of reality. I don’t think popularity is the root issue. It’s not that it has to become popular, it’s that the people who use the language have to write useful things in it.

Almost zero people writing lens libraries in C, almost no people are writing state-of-the-art asymptotically optimal Cool Tree data structures in C++.

Almost all users of these languages are writing an application that isn’t designed to serve the intellectual needs of the programmer themself.
First - I strongly agree with everything you said. It's a steep learning curve to climb for something that doesn't really relate to any prior computing experience a typical student could be expected to have today.

The teaching time will go down if they stick with this - they'll learn what the common errors are, what the common conceptual misunderstandings are, and how best to present the material to their students. The 1 on 1 tutoring they did this quarter (hopefully) will have given them a lot of insight into what the student experience is like.

It looks like they mostly learned a lot about teaching, and how their educational system in particular works. If they're hoping to keep working in the educational space these two things alone will make their time worthwhile.

Anyways, it's a really interesting article by people who are both passionate about and new to teaching - it's a fun read.

I like it actually as a mental filter. If the language is the main defining quality it usually means the project is nowhere near production ready, and can be safely ignored for now.
What's funny is that Rust, in its short life so far, is already popping up in important projects. Firefox, obviously. cURL now optionally uses Rust for... something. Big companies are using it: Microsoft, Dropbox, etc. Some Linux libraries (there was an image library for Gnome/GTK, IIRC). Even the Linux kernel may allow certain kinds of modules to be written in Rust.

But everyone still shits on "Rust Evangelists" when they bring it up. You just can't win! :D
If your argument is that it's clear we should prefer species preservation over all else, then let's take the giant panda example to its logical extreme. Human population (estimated 7,800,000,000) / giant panda population (1,864) = 4,184,549. So all 'reasonable people' would kill 4 million humans before a single giant panda. Is that really the argument here?
I think it's (avoid (success at all costs)) isn't it?

But I agree - why do people seem to go out of their way to hamper themselves with pun mottos that are just begging to be misunderstood, either genuinely, or deliberately and used against them?

Many people don't stick around for the 'ah it actually means...' bit where you unveil your witticism. They just go away with the face-value explanation and don't bother to learn more.

Like 'free software'. 90% of people aren't sticking around to hear the pitch about 'free as in freedom'. You've already missed your opportunity to explain your point of view - you wasted it on making a pun instead of actually communicating! It's madness.
Indeed, interfacing legacy GSM base stations is the primary use case. However, you can jsut as well use it to interface any other type of E1 equipment, like PBXs etc.

correct, the design is E1 only. No T1/J1 support, sorry.
My point about the docs isn't the day-to-day stuff, but the things that cannot be machine generated - to write a good compiler you need to know the details of how the CPU is put together underneath.

Intel will give you 800 pages on how to optimize for their current ISA (AMD will give you 45, but still)
That's actually generally not true WRT SIMD/vector instructions (see eg http://yosefk.com/blog/humans-and-compilers-need-each-other-... which contrasts this with the more compiler-friendly VLIW case); they impose nontrivial requirements on data structures and ABI, so the application code needs to at least be aware of the possibility of vectorization, even if it's agnostic to whether the implementation actually uses it.
Why doesn't pandoc count?
Great way to moderate vandalism. Half of the edits I clicked were defacement of articles
The Accelerate Framework is a library with common functions such as BLAS, neural networks, Fourier transforms and compression (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/accelerate)

That is similar to Intel providing such functions in a library for their CPUs (https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/tools/o...).

A difference, of course, is that Apple can ship it with its OS, and does so.

I would guess they’re not or not yet willing to commit to shipping these instructions in future hardware (possibly, but that is more guesswork, because they have to work around bugs to use them. Those NOPs this article is talking about might be to work around them)
Unlimited quantitative easing and low interest rates is why everything is going up this year; housing, stocks, bitcoin.
They shot a probe out into space, had it land on an asteroid, slam a slug into it to get below the surface, land on it again, and pick up rocks. In an era where the headliners are delivery and ride sharing apps, it's worth stepping back and considering this achievement for what it is.

Maybe the rocks themselves aren't special, but where they came from and how we got them is a massive achievement.

I think it is definitely the case that most examples of successful Haskell are technical programs of interest to hackers. I don't think that's much of a problem myself.
Are you in favor of a wealth tax in general, or only property taxes?
It's still a better deal for them, sometimes. Decreasing the rent can decrease the implied value of the property, which can be problematic with financing of multi-family or commercial properties. Letting it sit, collecting no rent, won't hurt the property's value. Which is a strange loophole in the system.
A recurring thing that happens in indie dev in the past decade is that some programmer writes up a blog about their "fully test-driven" game.

It always turns out that the game has a trivial state-of-the-art-circa-1980 design with a very small featureset. Nobody doing this is also writing a large RPG or even a Mario style platformer.

So, you can do it, but you spend a massive amount of "scope points" doing it.

The language tooling is much the same way. To do games - big or small - you need lots of I/O handling, and this immediately leads you towards talking to the OS directly, which leads you towards either C or C++ because that's where the tools and resources are. You can get a binding of SDL or whatever for your language, but that's effectively limiting the scope of your engagement with I/O - if the framework doesn't work, you have to debug it across a binding layer which is always iffy. And it can really hurt when talking about console dev.
You’re mischaracterizing the left-wing / long term renter position here. This is a very common tactic among local SF “YIMBYs” for some reason.

Progressives are not objecting solely on the basis of “character of the city” and in fact regularly poll in favor of development. What they fight for is affordable housing development.

Underlying this problem is a massive income disparity between techies and working class folks. Essentially the YIMBY position is if you build market rate housing for techies it will trickle down to the working class because “supply and demand didn’tyoutakeeconomics???” But Econ 101 has within it the concept of inelasticity that explains why increasing supply does not always move the price much under certain conditions. Like those of say a massive boom economy where tons of high income earners and speculators from around the world are waiting to snatch up new inventory. SF has had many experiences with such boom/bust cycles.

It’s a real estate developer’s dream and it helps us rich-ish techies (hence heavy YIMBY presence on HN) but it doesn’t necessarily translate into lowering rents for the working class. Thus, progressive supervisors are focused on public investment in affordable housing and taxing the rich to fund it, not just serving the needs of the wealthy.

YIMBYs absolutely hate this characterization because they like to claim they are on the side of the poor. But they are 100% aligned with and politically funded by the real estate industry, and that’s why they prefer to mischaracterize progressives who are actually prioritizing the needs of the most vulnerable.
Depends how confident you are of the cash flow.

100/h is noce. It is so much nocer if it is going for a year, decade.

If you are worth $100/h but are not getting paid - that is you have cash flow problems, then these are a lot of SaaS to be paying for.

That is a oversimplification but it is (almost) all about cash flow in a small business just getting going
Damn... Thanks for sharing the story. I hope you're doing well! And if that's the case, may that remains so indefinitely.
Yeah, I think EV adoption will stall out for a long time at around 50%. Families will have one EV and one gas vehicle. That covers all their needs; two EVs won't. And the gas-burner will get used just as much, since both parents need a vehicle.

The idea that people will rent vehicles for those longer trips is a bit untethered from reality.

Meh, nothing serious, just that the "it could be worse" line of thinking can be a little dangerous if broadly applied since it could always be at least marginally worse, that's all I meant.

Completely agree about forcing them to do or avoid strategies, though governing bodies may disagree!

Jokes aside, it seems that despite occasional marketing/rhetoric from Apple, their platform represents the minimum bound of "openness". It's only open enough to allow further business - e.g. allowing 3rd parties to develop apps in the store (from which they take a cut of proceeds) - rather than being open for the spirit of it, if that makes any sense.

They are a business so that's not exactly something one could fault them for, though.
