Most of it doesn't seem terribly new. It's like a hybrid of some classic-Algol-style, C-style, and Haskell-style (particularly at the function/struct declarations), but mostly C-style.

That he seems to have thought deliberately about stepwise refactoring is actually pretty nice. This is hard to do in many languages (where refactoring-to-function/method is often a wholesale endeavor). Doing it stepwise means you can iterate and test more deliberately throughout the process, and is nicer if you're not using a refactoring tool beyond your text editor.

In the end, reading the example code caused me no headaches, it was as clear as any other C/Algol-derived language.

think of the fediverse like social media parallel to email. you can create your account on someone else's service (e.g. gmail or yahoo) or self-host your own service.

Nothing is preventing a server from putting ads in their service. It would be like protonmail or gmail jamming ads down your throat. but because it federated like email, you can leave. its not centralized, but its still owned instances.
Check out Iain M. Banks's "Culture" novels for a sci fi society that takes that approach to other civilizations. The Culture tries to raise up every lesser species of aliens to their own level of hedonist, post-scarcity wealth and technology. "The Player of Games" is both a good introduction to the series and an example of their cultural outreach at work.

A lot of scifi shows have been influenced by this. In Stargate SG-1 (spoilers):

The Tollan civilization were humans taken from earth millennia ago that developed science faster than us and ended up being one of the most advanced races in the galaxy. They gave a source of limitless energy to more primitive aliens on a nearby planet in their solar system (think Mars versus Earth) and those aliens weaponized it and blew up part of their own planet. It messed up the Tollan's own planer's orbit, so they had to find a new planet and now don't share any technology.

The objects are actually defined in the ActivityStreams spec, which is a prereq for ActivityPub. So, a purely static site can only meaningfully implement the former, not the latter. However implementing ActivityStreams object types would still be useful inasmuch as it might provide some limited interop with the Fediverse.

(Future server-side improvements might also allow for some kind of automated polling of statically-hosted ActivityStreams, outside of the standardized "push" model.)

So sad to see this getting downvoted. I think it a very reasonable assertion to make whether you consider yourself an avid art consumer or casual passerby.

Nothing about this statement compels you to come to the same conclusion. I personally agree, and think a good metaphor is telling a joke. If you have to explain the punchline... either you've got the wrong audience or it's just not funny.

Ask HN: What if your favorite restaurant was only online?
Hello, I'm Dre! Looking for some feedback on a startup idea I've been spinning on.

Thesis
Restaurant operators are sitting on underutilized fixed assets (staff, kitchen space, equipment, etc.). D2C food brands primarily selling from their direct web channels could benefit from a new distribution channel to activate and engage customers.

Idea
Enable D2C food brands to launch virtual restaurants using their brand + product by leveraging a network of host kitchens. The host kitchens would act as the fulfillment partner by preparing the food, and we would use software to tie everything together, including last-mile delivery.

As a customer, I would be able to go to any delivery app or directly to the brand's virtual restaurant channel, order from a very specific menu, and its delivered in 30 minutes. Maybe I love it so much I decide to buy directly from the brand's shop and have some shipped to my home.

Why would a D2C food brand do this?
New marketing/sale channels for attracting new customers
Experiment with new products at a hyper-local level quickly

. Why would a restaurant do this?
Incremental revenue that doesn't require more costs
Available capacity to take more orders

Questions I'm asking myself?
Can this make money at scale?
How would you handle the supply-chain from the brands to the host kitchens?
Is this even an attractive channel for D2C food brands?

I'm super early in my thinking and don't have an answer for everything. I really appreciate any feedback you can provide!

But that's good for overall Linux community - RH has way too much power there.

Wikipedia notes:

> The United States Constitution does not have a provision that explicitly permits the use of executive orders. Article II, Section 1, Clause 1 of the Constitution simply states: "The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America." Sections 2 and 3 describe the various powers and duties of the president, including "he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed"

They're constitutional--in the sense that the President has the legal authority to issue orders to the rest of the executive branch--but they are certainly not an explicit provision of the Constitution explicitly modeled after the royal decrees of the British monarchy.

> In fairness, removing the context from art removes a lot its value.

It removes the value for the unobjective man who cannot free himself of such biases and judge matters on their own merit.

> This would be akin to reading Animal Farm and ignoring its allegory about Communism and judging it purely on its merit as a story about some animals staging a revolution.

No, it would be akin to reading animal farm without knowing anything about the auctor, or the conditions and process by which it was written.

Art providing a commentary on an external event, and being judged upon how well it does so is an entirely different matter.

Of course, the artist can also be considered if what the art attempt to do is to provide some kind of commentary on it's own artist.

The argument you raise here is tantamount to that refusing to consider the auctor of a physics paper as well as how the research came to be in judging it's merit, is tantamount to not considering how well the physical results in it model the physical realities they attempt to describe.

> This is also like reading Shakespeare in high school without one of those copies that explain a lot of the jokes and references that aren't obvious to the reading 500 years later.

And this is exactly why I believe judging Shakespeare by modern readers is prætentious.

A modern reader can never truly have Sprachgefühl for 1500s English. He may be able to read it, but it's hard for him to truly be capable of assessing whether language truly sounds beautiful.

> Context is what gives art a lot of its power, the downside is that you need this context to understand it. I'm not a huge art person so I view most art superficially, but always enjoy when I get an opportunity to learn more.

It is what gives art power to the unobjective, biased man who cannot compartimentalize and judge matters on their own merit.

This does not limit itself to art. You will find that the same same man who judges art by the artist, will also easily be convinced that the exact same dish tastes better, if he be told it was more expensive.
Bad example. Cantor's theory is controversial to this day.

"Classical logic was abstracted from the mathematics of finite sets and their subsets …. Forgetful of this limited origin, one afterwards mistook that logic for something above and prior to all mathematics, and finally applied it, without justification, to the mathematics of infinite sets. This is the Fall and original sin of Cantor's set theory."

When it comes to string formatting I have recently found my absolute favourite utility of all time: Scheme's SRFI-166. It is a combinator based string formatting utility that is user extensible (with verbosity worthy of being in every scheme!): https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-166/srfi-166.html
I think most FP languages don't decouple AST from evaluation context. E.g. I cannot perform abstract interpretation on a function's AST, nor rewrite a function's AST for incremental computation, nor perform explicit partial evaluation during function composition by composing the ASTs. I only can access opaque `Input -> Output`.

Also, FP algorithms developed for one evaluation context cannot easily be ported to another. They are implicitly entangled with assumptions. For example, I cannot evaluate a lazy algorithm in an eager evaluation context without paying a huge price. Adding back-pressure for list processing where a program was not designed for it would easily result in deadlock. Adding exceptions without adding unwind (or bracket, try/finally, etc.) to the existing program expressions will easily result in buggy code.

I think your assertion might be true for some specific integrations of FP nodes into FBP. Is this what you mean?

> What management needs to realize is that this is also an important interface point which requires attention. This doesn't happen at all, or is inconsistent.

> What I've always found interesting, is that all of these are often failing in some way at the same time in an organization of any size.

The formalization of it is frequently the cause of it failing or being inconsistent. Once it's a workflow that's explicitly acknowledged and condoned by management, it will start to lose its effectiveness. As an official express lane between customers and engineering, every account/sales person will become aware of it and overload it, either in the general course of supporting their client portfolio as much as possible, or even worse, by making this internal express route known to clients, as they can get incremental revenue by branding it as a "VIP Support" service or to make at-risk clients feel special. Which will eventually end up in actual client contracts in some form or another, opening the door to client abuse (or misuse) as well as causing legit cases that would have gone through this implicit channel to get routed to and trapped in normal support because the client at hand didn't pay up for the express lane.

You've also replaced a channel built off of relationships and mutual trust/respect into one based on official responsibilities and inertia, and all the hazards that entails. Such as political/managerial turf wars that add friction to the process, as well as cost minimization efforts that deskill the role over time and profit maximization efforts that overwhelm the capacity of the role, alienating the engineering team and undermining the entire intent.

... not to say it's impossible. But that's generally why you'll see it failing in some capacity any time you witness it, because it's almost impossible to maintain equilibrium the moment you officiate it.

An alternative that tends to be more lasting is for management to _actively facilitate organic growth_ of these sorts of things. Enable and encourage and provide opportunities for inter-departmental relationships and lines of communications to form. That way there is no single "back channel", and organic lines of communication between different parts of the org are robust against the loss of a single node.

Satellite images show the extent of the Chinese intrusion in a part of Arunachal
In theory a solar cell could also absorb wavelengths that plants can’t/don’t use (infrared, green, ultraviolet) and emit the ideal spectrum for chlorophyll a/b to absorb. If the efficiency could be [radically] improved then more could be grown per unit area of solar cells than could be under the sun when naturally farmed.

http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Biology/ligabs.ht...

Edit: note the reason that most plants are green is because their growth is not limited by the amount of sunlight converted, so they can afford to throw away some efficiency e.g. they might be limited by water or mineral availability. Quote from same site: “Some plants and plantlike organisms have developed other pigments to compensate for low light or poor use of light. Cyanobacteria and red algae have phycocyanin and allophycocyanin as accessory pigments to absorbe orange light. They also have a red pigment called phycoerythrin that absorbs green light and extends the range of photosynthesis. The red pigment lycopene is found in vegetables. Some red algae are in fact nearly black, so that increases their photosynthetic efficiency. Brown algae have the pigment fucoxanthin in addition to chlorophyll to widen their absorption range. These red and brown algae grow to depths around 270 meters where the light is less than 1% of surface light.”

Edit 2: plant photosynthetic efficiency in capturing CO2 as sugars: “the theoretical efficiency is 114/381 or 30%. Remarkably, Moore, et al. report that 25% has been achieved under laboratory conditions. The top efficiency they reported under natural growing conditions was the winter-evening primrose growing in Death Valley at 8%”
> And the Matrix reference server needs pretty powerful hardware.

That is not a bug, its a feature (or so the Matrix people say).

In fact, part of the Matrix design is a fat server which has a lot more responsibilities by default than an XMPP server. However, I guess a full-featured XMPP server (with MAM, Push, etc.) probably has similar requirements.
I didn't know this was a "law", but i've been triangulating on this same feeling for a long time now. I would say it's 1%-10% of anything is actually good. You can basically apply this to almost any category, but for most things it doesn't really matter. I would guess while no two people would agree if asked to pick their top 5% of any one thing, if you tallied up all the votes and had enough participation, you could probably put together a list that would generally include the best of whatever that category is.
Absurdly low.
The Matrix people don't say it's a feature. They say the rewrite will fix it.

XMPP with MAM and push doesn't have similar requirements.
There is certainly a strategy that involves bonds. My investments are up more than 10% in the last two years. There may be opportunity for improvement, but for my level of effort I'm quite happy with my rate of returns, which were much better than VBTLX.
Of course. Even PubMed is ridden with ridiculous stuff. PubMed! To give you an example: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3068791/

Thankfully we can do our own research, see by whom it has been cited, in what journal it has been published, and so forth. You can easily tell that this is quite an unimportant and incredible one. Of course you could tell it yourself after having read it that it is nonsense.
Yup, I wish all text fields had a vi mode.
There are a few reasons I think this. Endless growth and short term profit are two hallmarks of capitalism. They also lead to exploiting natural resources past the point of no return.

I think there’s definitely potential for harmful growth + short term thinking in socialist countries as well, especially when you factor in international competition.

But I think it could only be better than what we’re doing now.

Imo the biggest differentiator between a more capitalist society and a more democratic socialist society is who has power. In the US, it’s people and corporations with lots of money. And guess what! People and corporations with lots of money are incentivized to accelerate climate disaster if it means boosting their short term wealth.

In (ideal — I know it’s not going to work out 100% this way) democratic socialism, everyone has equal power. This will necessarily lead to a less exploitative relationship to our planet.

You can see an example of capitalist vs demsoc power dynamics in the green new deal. A majority of registered voters across parties support the GND [1]. So in a demsoc society with the same level of support, the GND would be made into law. But there’s a slim chance it’ll come to fruition in the US. Why? Because the people in power have a vested interest in not losing money, and any worthwhile GND is going to cost the rich a _lot_ of money.
