Sounds like Elm is run by a benevolent dictator, as is common with open source, and ended up making a difficult design choice that a lot of people didn't like.

As a newcomer to the language, I've had a pleasant experience with the community (r/elm and the Slack channel). But I can imagine drama could quickly arise if you were to debate design choices with the team behind the language.

The disconnect I see is that your interests in work seem to be about the public good which in most places is not an area where there is direct money.

The people making money using HN are ones seeking it. Usually at the expense of other goals. At least in terms of directness of achieving those goals.

My suggestion would be to shift focus a bit and try to find money areas of public planning where money is being spent badly or where it can’t be spent currently.

What is a problem for public planners they’re willing to spend to solve and how can you use that to advance your own goals in public planning?
You're not wrong. But the point I'm making is that "droplet" vs "aerosol" is not binary. There is a wide range of particle sizes. There are particles that immediately fall to the ground, and there are particles that float around in the air for days, and there is everything in between. It's been shown for over a year that COVID can be transmitted in particles that float in the air for some time. Exactly how much time and in what conditions should be studied, but we're long past the question of whether it happens or not.
Isn’t that why aws created docker packaging for lambdas or am I missing something.

The zip file packaging and debugging in the cloud has always frustrated me as well. But I like the docker packaging, still a long way to go but atleast I can somewhat mock some inputs and output triggers.

I have no idea how people managed the zip file uploads especially for python projects, it’s an insane waste of time uploading and debugging on the cloud.

I understand how can this be inconvenient for me and you while scripting. But this is absolutely no problem for julia's currently main target market who runs multi-GB simulations.

Also it is not like they will be spawning a julia instance in a hot loop (THAT would be horrible). You write some julia code, and import it using smth like pyjulia at the beginning of the file.

> I think realistically they are in the business of making O&G cheaper to extract through efficiencies that gain some climate merit (but very little). It's more like the limited climate benefit is an add-on to core business.

Respectfully, this is not the business we are in, but I understand how our current messaging could convey it that way. That being said, there is a strong incentive to build products that both address climate pollution and reduce costs. It's a fine line and one that we think about constantly at the company.

> The chromatic scale is a special case of a symmetric scale which cannot be transposed.

I would not agree here. I think you can transpose a chromatic scale, but you end up with the same "set" of pitches. (So you _can_ transpose, but if you only consider the _set of pitches_ you end up with a invariant.

But scales are not just a set of pitches, but also have a root note.

You can establish the key of C and play a chromatic scale from c' up to c'' and there would be the feeling to accept C as the root of the scale.

So the chromatic scale is kind of a _total_ (all 12 pitch names) and _trivial_ example, as you pointed out, very symmetric and usually not so interesting for analysis if you want to detect and describe structure.

In general it depends on the music. If the music is based on diatonics, then a major scale or it's modes will be a fitting primitive for analysis, considering chromatic notes something like side notes.

On the other hand 12-tone music uses a chromatic scale as a basis, negating the structure and hierarchy of diatonic scales.

So I don't see a problem with transposing a chromatic scale, it's useful and necessary for mathematical sound systems (helpful for computation) to define operations, even if there is no direct gain (functionally speaking - identity / mempty etc.) :

1 + 0 = 1
I think he's drawing a distinction between people who died with the virus and people who died from the virus. That sounds like 2/3 of the deaths were people who died of other things but happened to have the virus. (This is a popular statistic for those denying the significance of the coronavirus.)

But there is a lot suspicious about this paper. The papers he cites don't support his conclusions about the terrible things he claims masks do. A mask can't trap enough air to cause hypoxemia or hypercapnia. People wear N95 masks all day while doing intense physical work, such as painters and carpenters, with no ill effects.

The study about surgeons, for example, is testing people who are doing rather intense work -- of course their O2 sat goes down. The fact that it's just 1% shows that they're in good shape for doing that work. The mask has nothing to do with it.

The paper is reaching to support a conclusion that simply isn't justified. The particles that carry viruses are much, much larger than oxygen and CO2 molecules. It's simply not possible for a mask to both be ineffective at stopping coronavirus and to cause breathing problems. It's like declaring a collander to somehow be ineffective at retaining spaghetti while simultaneously holding on to all of the water.

I won't tell you what to do with it, but the fact is Elixir is not on the up, it's very niche (nichier than even Rust is) and it's probably starting to decline already.
Look at Linkedin jobs

Lisp - 142
Clojure - 700
Elixir - 828
Rust - 3160
Golang - 9205
Ruby - 24353
PHP - 68444
Java - 132606

So Elixir, at its peak, has about the amount of jobs Clojure has (never knew anyone using Clojure btw). That's quite a niche, ±800 jobs in the entire U.S is very very little.
You might not care or have any action items from these facts, others may. As for companies - I would never choose something like Clojure/Elixir for my startup that's quite crazy considering the small eco system.
I think the way to say it is that Go requires you to declare every allocation, but allows over-declaration in the case of copying.

> := [...] an error to use it when it doesn't allocate.

> := [...] not allocating if you have a variable on the left that is already allocated,

This appears to be a contradiction.

I suppose you mean something like "error to use it when there's no possible context where that line of code would allocate"; what's an example of that?
It has to be said the current HMG is radically different than the previous one.

RedHawk ($SNDD): The Future of Neddle Destroyers
Perhaps we’re subject to demoralization and whipped into fear and agitation by our own news media, goaded into street violence, justice warriors fighting law enforcement, our culture more or less in tatters. I doubt all that’s caused by over policing seems like cultural social problems to me. But if you believe that overpolicing is the root problem, the easiest way to reduce policing is not to call them. All it would take is a concerted effort in the high crime areas to boycott the police; fewer crimes reported leads to fewer cops.

Otherwise, politicians are always going to feel obligated to add police to areas where folks are getting robbed, raped, murdered, etc... Seems underreporting of crime, citizens boycotting 911, is the only way forward if the problem is overpolicing. Am I mistaken?
The same logic applies to contract killing, doesn't it? If you can't find somebody to take the contract, you can just sweeten the pot until you reach somebody's price, right?

If banks decide to become moral investors and quit the game, the carbon fuel industry will be scrambling to replace about $1T/y in funding. Those shadier investors might be out there with higher interest rates, but I doubt they've got nearly as much to spend. So now carbon production is less profitable, and has less capitol to work with. That would be good.

But the cynic in me says that banks will agree to this, but move to an arms-length model.
That "Why I'm Leaving Elm" post comes up on most Elm discussions, and I would implore anyone to give it a try for themselves before deciding against it. I've been working in Elm professionally for a few years now and I think Luke's experience in that blog post is certainly atypical.

For writing web applications Elm is an excellent language to work in, the compiler is friendly and fast, there are basically zero runtime exceptions, refactoring is a breeze, and it really shines on larger code bases. Web-components are discounted pretty quickly in that post, but they really fill an important gap where ports are awkward.

In the years I've been using it I haven't run across a problem that I couldn't solve in a nice way. That is not to say my experience is universal, but the negative posts tend to garner a lot more attention than positive posts, and I'd feel bad if someone were to skip over what is an awesome project due to them!
> I do most searches in an incognito window so it can't be browser history.

Incognito mode is mostly a convenience for you to do browsing without saving local history or cookies. It doesn't stop tracking.

I assume the fingerprint is different in incognito versus a regular window. But unless you are using VPN/adblockers/pihole/etc your browser is still executing third party JS and potentially sending tracking data to google using a plain https connection coming from your residential IP.

I can imagine it's not that hard for Google to link different requests from the same IP with slightly different fingerprint data to be coming from the same user.

edit: and for searches it is even easier, because you are communicating directly with google by performing the search, no tracker or JS necessary.

I think there is not so much music in the pentatonic that is formed by the black keys, or a related scale.

Depending how strictly you’re using “pentatonic” there, I don’t think you’re correct, unless I’m misunderstanding. In the wider classical and jazz repertoire there’s plenty of music written in Eb, Gb etc, heavy on the black notes.

For example, Debussy’s piano music often uses keys with lots of flats (or lots of sharps). Chopin supposedly played the black keys with his thumbs in some cases, against the accepted style at the time.

In jazz, Billy Strayhorn (who I think was strongly influenced by Debussy) seemed to be very fond of writing in Db.

Is this a thing that's known to have occurred in other viruses? It seems rather unlikely compared to the chance that it came from someone asymptomatic or someone who skipped over the border controls via boat or something like that.

I'd be careful speculating over demographics. There's been a wave of violence against Asian (largely Chinese, Japanese and Korean) people in the US, believed to be caused at least in part by our former president accusing China of accidentally releasing the virus. I wouldn't want some populist to latch on to this theory and start blaming Indian people for variants.
