You're right that there is no benefit in creating another abstraction, but the point of the post is sometimes the language doesn't have support for the original abstraction (e.g. sum types), so in some cases the other abstraction (e.g. visitor pattern or Church encoding) is the only available abstraction.

The current Indian government fans are trying their best to belittle the farmers protest. The real reason a lot of rich people are supporting Modi is fearing income tax raid. Everyone who criticises Modi gets a visit from Income Tax department and considering the meagre rate of tax collection in India it’s a nice weapon in the hand of an autocrat.

All the contents of my house are publicly accessible to anyone who wants to break a window--this data is less important than any of that stuff, I just didn't want it sitting out on the curb, so to speak.

This is just the kind of thing you file away in the back of your head as "huh, interesting", that may or may not have a practical application down the line. But occasionally the pay off for having a different way of thinking about a problem can be really big.

For example, Joel Spolsky argued a long time ago that Google was able to solve some problems faster than Microsoft because their programmers understood functional programming:

Will this article have a similar payoff for someone someday? Hard to say, but it was probably not clear to the CS students learning map and reduce it would lead to an elegant solution to how to run computations across a massive computing infrastructure someday, either.
That clients exist to do work so that a company's hardware doesn't have to is cynical, a "client bad [if it's built with JS]" cargo cult, and it suggests that you can't think of any upside to doing things on the user's powerful device instead of a phone-home network request to a server.
~~People don't complain about things they have not used.~~ People complain about things they have used so, if you have heard complains, it means a lot of people are using it, and using it despite those complains.

So, you should consider that there is some benefit which outweighs the complains

I'm from the U.S. and the phrases "potter around" and "potter in the garden" are new to me. I have always used "putter".

My pronunciation of putter is "puh-ter" (same sound as under) and potter is "pah-ter" (same sound as father).
Not really. I worked in the production line of an automobile company as a mech engineer.

When we release new cars, there are huge production line issues and inefficiencies. There are a huge number of little things that add up, and most of this wisdom is held by people who have been these companies for a life time.

I am surprised that Tesla hasn't acqui-hired a smaller automobile company just for knowledge transfer.

Toll Worker Job Losses Highlight Pandemic’s Long-Term Fallout
>it is like going into the car dealership to change my oil and them charging me to take apart the engine because “It could catch a wider range of issues”.

This kind of stuff is pretty par for the course. They try and up-sell. If you agree then you're on the hook for the bill. That's just how the industry works. But businesses that make a habit of being sleazy don't survive long because the bill must be agreed upon beforehand and customer is free to go elsewhere with little friction and there isn't all sorts of gatekeeping and regulatory capture constraining supply.
Pretty standard. Pre-screen, then an interview panel. I'm not generally on the engineering panels (unless you're looking for a devops role) but I can say pretty confidently that I don't feel like they wasted my time when I'd interviewed, and the interviews I've helped to conduct don't seem to waste people's time, either.
Well, that means that cudgy is saying that there are no true liberals in power, either.

But I'd be interested in how you think money is being given to rail companies. Not to passenger rail service agencies, to the actual rail companies.

(And in your list, you forgot the barge companies.)
Absolutely the can, yes. I wasn't saying they couldn't. I just answered the question. And those frameworks really introduced the idea of loading JS in order to load content to the broader masses. Things have evolved, sure and it can be done right, but nonetheless, those frameworks are a reason to force JavaScript on the user.
I'm surprised this is getting downvoted. This is the only sane way to manage dependencies. They must be relative to the thing you care about.

There are tradeoffs for sure, like the ridiculous sizes of those directories on development machines. But a giant SSD is cheaper than my time resolving dependency issues on user machines.
There also shades of different meanings.

'Locate' implies that you're predominately interested in the object being sought but 'localize' suggests you're more interested in the place where it is/was. I think localize can also be less-than-exact if it rules out some plausible locations, but it seems odd to partially 'locate' something.

It's used a lot in neurology/neuroscience for the process of identifying where (e.g.) a tumor is or the brain structures on which a particular behavior or process depend.
I feel Elon's style of thinking is really at odds with matured mass manufacturing space. Iterative software development is hard to translate to mass physical products with consumers. Elon uses iterative process with SpaceX with great success, but it's not translating well to Tesla.
> does Google search engine give preference to websites that display Google ads, or it is agnostic?

Officially, Google claims it does not [https://ads.google.com/home/resources/seo-vs-ppc].

The most accurate (sacrificing probability) answer is "Google's ranking algorithm is proprietary; nobody can independently verify whether they up-rank sites that display Google ads by looking at the source code." Attempts to figure that out from the outside via black-box testing are complicated by the simple ubiquity of Google ads; there's a lot of conflating signal that would have to be tuned out (even if one observes correlation between top search results and Google ads, one has to control for the probability that any random site has Google ads on it, or that ads pay for the SEO and information collection that tends to result in a site that ranks highly in Google results, or even the probability that a site without ads, having found itself high in the rankings because it's delivering data that Google concludes is valuable to users, wouldn't respond to that observation by putting Google ads on their site to capture money otherwise left on the table).
New communication platform for Godot contributors
It's not the case here. On their website, google states:
... Dunant is the first long-haul subsea cable to feature a 12 fiber pair space-division multiplexing (SDM) design ...

Multi-mode fibers are not feasible for long distance transmission.
For long distance communications, using suggested approach, may be better to use multi-core fibers.
The funny thing is, that when you realise that they just lay it down on the sea floor and you start to think through all the potential issues with throwing a very thick special cable on the ocean, you will realize that it already just works as it is for a while.
I think that poll is likely bullshit.

Only 1500 people participated which is basically nothing. How can that possibly be representative of a country of ~300mil? The questions say "Have you heard of Qanon?" and "Do you like Qanon?", but doesn't clarify what Qanon is... For all we know those 30% of people polled heard "Qanon is a movement against the Democrats" and thought, "Oh, I like that." They did not sign up for 'satan worshipping pedos'.

Without seeing their methodology, there's no reason to believe the information is accurate. How did they confirm people submitting answers were really who they say they are? And YouGov is a British company which I've never heard of, not a criticism but it does make me suspicious.

There's so many problems with surveys like this, but instead you jumped immediately from "Business Insider said this" -> "30% of Republicans are conspiracy theorists."
I think it may be from R to D - I do that a lot and you're almost guaranteed to get all the torque you want this way - at least I always had, as opposed to just accelerating from a standstill, to which sometimes the ECU would react with a cold "yeah, no".

I read that in the former case it's connected with the fact that the motor-generator attached to the sun gear has to start turning in the opposite direction to assist acceleration - the high-pitched whine of the inverter appears to support this theory.

As for talking about it: I guess people just assume all EVs have instant torque. I for one was surprised to learn that the Renault Zoe has a delay put there supposedly to emulate an automatic transmission.

The IONIQ hybrid on the other hand, which I've test driven, has to react like a regular automatic because the electric motor is sandwiched between the engine and the transmission. I was meaning to get it after my first Toyota hybrid got stolen, but the way it reacted to throttle input turned out to be a deal breaker for me.
isn’t it great?
It would be really interesting to see a crowdsourced index of real cost and insurer-paid cost for procedures across the US. Maybe a service that pays patients some nominal sum to share the data, then aggregates it and presents it to patients, journalists, etc.
I completely agree that, once we know if or when immunity starts to drop, we should absolutely maximize # of people getting shots instead of maximizing the immunity level of people getting the shots which is a relatively incremental increase anyway. I'm not sure we have that data though, and until we do have that data then we need to proceed with a known protocol that maximizes immunity.

Because if the vaccine wears off quickly. Then, the issue of the second person it moot. Vaccinating them becomes a net 0: Person A that got the first vaccine is losing their immunity while second person is gaining immunity.

However, assuming the pharmaceutical companies can & are massively ramping up production, and given that the logistics network for distributing & administering the shot is improving, We will hopefully get to the point when all of the above is completely irrelevant because there will be ample supply and ample bandwidth to administer the dosesto everyone.

I think in the short term we also get a little bit of a boost from the folks who have already been infected. AFAIK, their resistance may not last long-- as little as 6 months perhaps. But in terms of getting spread rates under control, and assuming twice as many people have been infected as the official record shows (which might be conservative, it's just educated guess) Then that means in addition to those getting vaccinated, We have about 55million formerly infected people that should have some level of resistance.

Anyway, thanks for an interesting conversation.
Ya know, if that's the banner you want to march under… then so be it.

Nazis lie, and especially love to argue that 'oh, if you don't take me at face value and accept my word then that means I'm a nazi! You know you are just FORCING me to be a nazi, right? You're the real nazi, and when the revolution comes I won't be a bit sorry to gas you, because you're a MEANIE!'

So, is that what you are, or not? :) How not alt-right extremist are you, and can you prove it in any way, or is your only (rapidly provided!) argument 'you're doubting my word, and that means you're the real extremist and there's no point talking to you because you're the real extremist and everybody else should shun you, you irrational person!'

Is that not what you are? You're explicitly making that argument. I'm asserting that is a tainted argument and doubling down that I mistrust your arguments because this is how you're making them.
Let me go grab another stawman from the shed.

You wouldn’t. If you are long, then you publish overly positive statements. Exactly what Chamath did. By saying you did due diligence and found nothing wrong. Or that everyone at the company are outstanding individuals. Now Clover Health being investing by the DOJ but Chamath presumably profited by the increased prices. This is the exact vile behavior that the hedge funds and “Wall St” is constantly accused of.
That's not a bare script then, it's a project with dependencies that need to be installed. This misunderstanding is how you fuck up a developer environment.
It always reminds me of the Simpsons quote: "Am I out of touch? No, it's the children who are wrong.". I've seen many people here more willing to believe that all front-end devs are clueless than admit they might not understand modern web-dev.
Half of them seem like products/companies. A large number of others like "AI (artificial intelligence)" clearly predate 1995 by decades or in the case of "algorithm" by centuries.

I did not get passed the "a" words before closing this article.
Aside: When this occurs, how do the C-suite look at themselves and think that they are the ones in charge? You'd think that they'd just have the ability to do it regardless, but an expensive whipping boy (almost literally) is the better fit. How political is your org such that this even becomes a possibility to contemplate? What terrible lack of communication and respect between layers causes this? (These questions are rhetorical, of course)
This article is confusing. I was excited to see someone using research to bubble up a story. Then the writer puts a doctor on the hot seat with no conclusion in the article for him to refute. Is this a teaser for an article to come? I think a good article would tell us how the insurance providers felt about the charges. Do they disagree with the doctor's assesment? Does this represent fraud? Is he taking advantage of ill defined rules?
Firefox dropped RSS support and literally said “it’s too hard”. Lamest decision ever.

Here's an idea: add some HN logic to automatically move a comment that begins with "TL;DR" to the top of the thread.
It is probably an ethics violation. I am sure he probably covered himself in the fine print but as you can see the customers are confused so that means they didn't expect the full respiratory panel testing. Insurance companies may have rules on it too so he could be in violation of contracts. I would expect negative flu test, negative covid test, then that justifies the remaining panel if symptoms worsen or what not.

This is though the same thing car dealers do. They always want to up sell services.
Did you ever sell those ETFs? The couch potato strategy is to let it sit until you need it (e.g. retirement)
If people think it's just one doctor/one clinic profiting off from this pandemic, they'd be wrong.

I know a couple of people who worked at these COVID testing sites in NYC (area near Columbia University), Brooklyn and in New Jersey for $15/hour. If one wants to work there, s/he doesn't even need to have work permit (because these sites hire foreign medical graduates for cheap labor). One just need to be able to draw blood, if necessary and that's the main requirement to work there.

All of these clinics are owned by doctors. I'm 100% sure these clinic owners get reimbursed more than $15 per test from the US government. It is a financial windfall for those entrepreneurial doctors and clinic owners who are willing to ignore proper screening in hiring COVID testers at the sites.
There was an HN discussion about this where several Danes mentioned that these loans still come with assorted fees and taxes which effectively amount to a low, but still positive, interest rate.

>Oh, they care about privacy

>Your privacy is the same. They will keep your data private from their competitors, but they will fully enjoy using it for their own purposes.

By definition, that is not privacy.

privacy: the state or condition of being free from being observed or disturbed by other people.

To use Google products, one must first sacrifice their privacy to Google.

Saying Google cares about its users privacy is like saying a slave master cares about their slaves freedom.
oh please, so now every time someone claims they want to "change lives" we must heap praise on them just in case someone at some point will actually want to do it?

does software change peoples lives? absolutely. should we be encouraging people to participate and build software that can legitimately achieve this? absolutely. is there a pervasiveness in tech to constantly frame, no matter what technology is being worked on, in the light of "changing lives"? in my opinion, yes. I see it constantly in the tech industry, and at this point it is essentially a marketing gimmick. im saying I find it irritating that the tech industry is unable to market themselves and their technologies without this blanket statement.
It is the job of regulators to coerce the market, through regulation, into one that is less harmful to consumers.

It is unreasonable to expect every consumer to be an expert in every commerce transaction that takes place in their daily lives.
I remember this essay and liked it quite a bit. I do research in this area and, although there's an armchair aspect to the piece, there's also something insightful in it about the "memory versus computation" paradigm. The way the algorithmic complexity literature discusses modeling I think is missing something -- an intuitive treatment of the tradeoffs involved in different types of data representations -- and this schema I think is on to something.

Rash – The Reckless Racket Shell
I am honestly unimpressed with the general strategy of central banks to imbalance an economy by only putting inflationary pressure on the supply side. You have to work on both the supply side and the demand side. Doing an excessive amount of supply side stimulus does not reduce the need for demand side stimulus.

This is especially important in an economy where a pandemic has forcefully lowered demand for products and thus potential income for workers. American style stimulus checks are a far better idea, especially when they go to people who truly need them.

The UK pretty much hit its 2% inflation target back in 2019. There is an obvious slump because of the combination of Brexit and the pandemic at the same time but low interest rates alone are not going to save the UK.
Since you went there...

Pretty much, you do surveys, probably based on existing ocean floor sonography, and then contact out a cable to someone like NEC, TE SubCom, Huawei, etc… Load it up on a cable laying vessel, and use software like Makai Lay to optimally place the cable on the ocean floor.
