Do a search for these and notice how it's only right wing media reporting of them. Had Trump or republicans made such embarrassing comparisons they would be in every mainstream publication as being out of touch morons.

With email verification down, the "reset password" seems to have required no verification other than having the username. So they grabbed an admin account and made scores of new admins. Or I misread something.
The social media companies and stripe etc, should also sever ties and ban the lawmakers that egged people on and supported this insurrection. Why stop at trump? Or do actions only on their platforms count?

EDIT: I meant the few lawmakers that refused to certify Biden and incited the crowd into insurrection.

Many of the people who participated in these events are realizing the consequences, and trying to hide their actions. Good for these groups for preserving the records.
But when mainstream media published lies to support the Iraq War nobody was banned because to served the interests of the government. Or when Facebook was used as a platform for inciting etjinc violence in Burma. No, this is all about selective enforcement against people we do not like.

For the record I hate Trump and am a European Social Democrat.
Second this -- Servant is one of the best examples of server-side haskell there is, and from what I understand IHP is relatively new in comparison (correct me if I'm wrong).

Servant is one of the best if not the best example of how haskell's higher level abstractions can benefit practical bread and butter programming (which making APIs is these days) tasks, and where type safety is a huge benefit.

Writing servant handlers can also feel mostly imperative depending on how much you use `do`.
It will be interesting to see how the bike usage will survive post-pandemic.
Anecdotal experience in my social circle: Many people bought a bike just to keep active during the pandemic measures. Many justified the "somewhat impulsive" spending by hoping to use it for short commute/transportation needs in the future.
Most bike have been collecting dust in a garage for several month, after the first three "bike excursion", the conversion rate is close to 0%.

Parent is probably referring to situations where faculty are too busy researching, writing grants, or just plain don't feel like it, and tell students something like

What better way is there to condense the political "spectrum" into an easily digestable product? Of course it's not perfect by any stretch, but the multi-axis charts are much more useful than the line-chart of left right most people tend to talk about. It's certainly much more than just a "meme" that doesn't exist.

From The Decision Lab: "A single-axis model conflates liberal and conservative ideologies with right-wing and left-wing stances, excluding the nuances that can exist in someone’s political ideals. Single-axis models like the right/left-wing divide have been criticized for being too simple and reductionist, and it has been suggested that the right/left divide only captures economic issues but that it need not be reflective of one’s social political identity.2 Instead of having to have left-wing mean liberal and right-wing mean conservative, the political compass proposes that we are better off measuring political ideologies on two separate axes: a right/left economic axis and an authoritarian/libertarian axis.3 With such a model, it would be possible for someone to be right-wing and libertarian, or left-wing and authoritarian; none of the views are made mutually exclusive with another. The political compass proposes this alternative model because research has suggested that one’s economic views do not always align with their overall political identity, and therefore, the model would allow people to more accurately understand where they stand in relation to other views, which could mean a less polarized political landscape."

You missed the point, again. Not only does Telegram rely on your phone number to identify you, but unlike the competition it’ll happily send out your past conversation history to anyone who manages to take control of your phone number.

Actual encrypted messengers can’t do this.

Brunsli works very well, but is not compatible with the final JPEG XL format. For being able to reduce the binary size of libjxl we decided to use a more holistic approach where the VarDCT-machinery is used to encode jpegs losslessly. This saved about 20 % of the binary size and reduced attack surface. Now the decoder binary size is about 300 kB on Arm.

This is overlooking the cost of developers, which greatly outweights the hardware's unless you are Facebook.
Yeah, I definitely got worked up so I partially contributed to the problem. Can't deny the facts.

I already responded to those criticisms elsewhere but here goes: I never expected any messenger to do end-to-end encryption. I am quite aware how un-ergonomic such a messenger would be so I know that Telegram does little more than TLS protection of the network socket. And that's fine with me and with millions of others.

But I still don't get why Telegram is the constant target of HN. Why not WhatsApp? Viber? Or literally every other messenger? I challenge you to find such brutal and full of flagged comments threads not pertaining to Telegram. As said above, we both live in our own bubble but all WhatsApp threads I've seen lately only aim at the user's data privacy and almost nobody ever mentions that their "encryption" is also a glorified TLS and their claims for end-to-end encryption are very likely dubious and a pure PR stunt.

Admittedly some of the responses earlier -- which were very unconstructive -- got to me.
IHP is very opinionated in the way how it approaches building web applications (Code Gen, Project structure, Naming, ..). But exactly this kind of opinionated design makes it possible to be very productive, compared to doing everything yourselves.
Show HN: Facebook for Journaling
I run my “office” on portable solar much of the summer. Two takeaways:

Solar averages ~10W/m^2 long term (days/weeks) with wild fluctuations. Getting easy reliable output retirees a lot of surface & batteries.

When those storage batteries deplete, it’s a hard stop. Recharging takes considerable time, competing for scheduled direct use. Plan on at least doubling panel surface just to recover from outages, and plan on more storage than you expect because long uncooperative weather happens more often, with more consequences, than you expect.

Unless you are willing to shut down completely at times, or spend enormous sums, you must have a reliable on-grid source ... which then may as well be your primary.

The claims in the article sound weak, because they communicate in an informal and natural way.

"Haskell's type system is more expressive than X and Y" is a strong claim and can be proven by showing that X and Y need to compose run-time workarounds for a given property that can be checked statically in Haskell.

"Functional Programming reduces the surface area for Bugs" is a strong claim and can be proven by showing that a single mutable reference strictly introduces a set of possible bugs that were not possible before and that these bugs cannot be checked in language X.

It is kind of annoying that these discussions often seem superficial, cultural or partisan, when in fact they could be much more rigorous.

Now, If we assume or find these claims to be true we can finally proceed with the real discussion: What are the costs and benefits of these properties in a given setting?
I agree. It makes me sick. Everyone in the comments is so giddy, and there’s a sickening, “look how smart we are” vibe.
It could be argued that a supposed PD device that provides 20V without negotiation isn't just a "poor implementation" but is in fact not PD at all.

I don't have specific studies to point to ATM but am certain there have been [a few] that have looked at isolating specific aspects of social networks that seem to engender the imo legitimate "constant disruption" that you mention. Point being that keep in mind that simply changing interaction patterns may affect the desired goal of (say) "a civil virtual society".

"Objectionable views" is an objectionable notion for many. And "unified messaging" from monopoly information and communication corporations (owned by an astonishingly small subset of humanity) is not a legitimate source of authority for determining what is or is not "objectionable".

This is the entire point of political systems: resolving conflicts of views and providing a mechanism for harmonious, fair, and productive societies. Unless the plan is to medicate people, in which case sure, a perfectly homogenous body politic may be in your future.
When people have enough time to recreate dictionaries it is immediately apparent that person is far more privledged than they want to believe.

Its also a movement that becomes quite discriminatory. The removal of slave/master is discriminatory to BDSM.

Almost all of it is of course based on a lack of understanding to the english language. People glance over context and circumstances now, and will boldly claim "context doesn't matter". Which is entirely demonstrably false. But again - these people don't care about what's true, they have too much time on their hands and words are easier to do something about than to delve into something effective like their cities council and politics.

Nobody ever meant mitm to only mean a man, the declaration of independence did not only mean men. 'man' is used contextually as essentially a definition for homo sapien.

Once a couple services went down and their endpoints were inadvertently made public by the service providers making announcements, it was fait accompli. Turns out Parler was not made with security and privacy in mind AT ALL. It was slightly better than MVP.
Electricity is a public utility, not a right. A public utility is a regulated entity that must supply anyone in their region who follows the rules -- and, in general, if you break the rules but then fix your behavior, they must allow you service again. The existence of a public utility does not forbid a private competitor, but the scale advantage of a public utility is generally overwhelming unless you have specialized needs.

It is reasonable to suggest that Internet bandwidth should be a public utility.
Bicycle enthusiasts I know predict that there will be a glut of barely used, higher-end road bikes and components for sale in 6-12 months from now, after people realize that their impulsive $3500-6000 purchase was not the best idea ever. I'm not even talking about really high end stuff, basically what you would get if you walked into a Trek, Specialized or Giant dealer in spring 2020 and bought a full carbon frame road bike with mechanical 105 groupset on it. No Di2 or whatever.
I have zero problems using type inference, tuples, etc in my code. Other developers I deal with and who do use C++ have no problems using those "novel" concepts either. So I am completely at loss about what type of culture you are talking about here. It looks like grasping at a straw type of argument to me.

Well, Trump had 6 key people indicted, including his lawyer and his campaign manager, on 81 charges and several convictions / guilty pleas. Clinton had 2 indictments and 1 conviction, while Obama and Carter had 0. Which administration out of these would you say was the least "clean"?

Basically every single standup, "update", meeting I've ever had with a manager could have been avoided by them looking at the issue tracker beforehand. Which I'm sure they did anyway, since they spend most of their days organizing the board. They just ask you questions to which they already know the answer.
That's not entirely true. It gives suggestions in the cases where the C++ compiler does too. There are more than a few very cryptic errors you can encounter with Rust. I like it though, just needs more work.

> Not only does Telegram rely on your phone number to identify you, but unlike the competition it’ll happily send out your past conversation history to anyone who manages to take control of your phone number.

Many, myself included, are aware of this. I prefer it because if I get a newer iPhone tomorrow I still want all of my conversations and all history to be there. I question how many people can to a SIM takeover. No, it's not "everyone". Very few will actually do it and it seems it was a marketing tradeoff. Quite a normal practice and Telegram is not an outlier in this case.

> You think the UAE is better? I live here, it’s not. If the US government wants access to telegram conversation logs, the UAE government will happily retrieve them.

Sigh. Suspected, but never knew for sure. Thanks for letting me know. Now "all" that remains is for somebody to both incorporate end-to-end encrypted chats and allow synchronization of history between devices without a central server, in a single app, I suppose. But Telegram isn't that app and I am aware and okay with it.

This is not an anecdote by definition, since these languages represents quite a huge marketshare (and most of the rest langs are already statically typed).

Yes, this is not a sound rigid empirical proof, it's an observation (i.e. unlike the case of anecdotal, you can measure the marketshare of user, how many do use dialyzer or typescript, etc etc). We can't simply ignore any observations that are not scientifically rigid, otherwise the whole edifice of philosophy or even some natural sciences should simply perish.

I don't think you can just omit that. I'm a fan of Lakatos here, if I have some observation, I think one need at least as convincing evidence or more rigid one to prove otherwise.

> because of carefully thought out and researched decisions

I think it's a better evidence exactly because it's what language users are asking about, and what large chunk of language users choose to use when they got a choice. This shows that quite a big share if not majority of programmers value type annotations.
This article might be a bit overeager and overzealous, but how you use haskell is up to you -- don't use those underlying packages that disgust you if you don't like them. Haskell offers benefit at every level of abstraction. There are many ways to write Haskell and you do not need a bunch of the higher level stuff. 99% of the time you are just fine with the data modeling (simple Algebraic Data Types) and type classes, along with a cursory understanding of monads via "do" notation.

This comment reads like someone seeing the worst of J2EE, and going back to C++. I'd characterize haskell as having the type system that Java wishes it did.

Why are you trying to judge how haskell should be written for your use case by looking at haskell-language-server, stack, and xmonad? Those are the domains of haskell experts -- one is a language server, the other is one of the pre-eminent build tools, and the other is tiling manager.... Are any of those your use-case?

There are real problems with haskell, and forcing you into complexity is not one of them -- a steep learning curve (for certain concepts), hard to debug space leaks, and a relatively small ecosystem are the biggest issues.

I just wonder if all the Parlor sad song tiny fiddle nonsense is due to being kicked off platforms or if it’s a distraction to hide their incompetence with this leak.
I thought the complaint was about the logic duplication, not the extra keystrokes. If you want type inference you already have auto. If you want to minimize your keystrokes, you're using the wrong language to begin with, whether there's type inference or not. C++ is designed for writing software robustly, not quickly. (<-- This is not a trivial or obvious statement btw. It took me several years to grasp this. And I viewed C++ from an entirely different perspective when it finally sunk in for me that I would appreciate C++ much more if I decided to make minimizing keystrokes a non-goal.)
I don't understand. This is just a link to the front page over at Reddit and just scanning it there's nothing about about mass account suspensions that I can see.
