I am a System Engineer/ Administrator by heart and found the Clojure threading macro to be really close to the Bash pipeline conceptually but just way more powerful. I really wasn't enjoying programming much before - I have coded in several languages, Python being quite at the top for me and being on the ok to fun side at times even, but I really wouldn't change Clojure/ ClojureScript for any other language unless I had to. Btw. I have written my fare share of Ansible as well and lost quite a bit of hair understanding the mess that is Jinja. I wrapped some GoDaddy REST APIs using Ansible + Jinja and that really was stretching the capabilities of those tools (it works and is even quite clean, but it was much more work than it needed be).
I would probably be able to implement an alternative to Ansible/ Jinja for the specific task and finish the task in the same amount of time I wrangled Ansible + Jinja which are supposed to make this kind of work easier/ save time. And Ansible really is much better than some other stuff. I think, Babashka or https://epiccastle.io/spire/ or something similar will eventually break through and hopefully improve the situation considerably but there is still much work to do.
At least in my corner of FP (Scala) my preferred functional architectures are vertically-sliced modules further decomposed into data types and algebras/interpreters. I might have an `EdgeAlgebra` and a `PersistenceAlgebra` for said module, but not always.
“I used to be a mathematics professor. At that time I found there were a certain number of students who could not learn mathematics. I then was charged with ¨the job of making it easy for businessmen to use our computers. I found it was not a question of whether they could learn mathematics or not, but whether they would. […] They said, ‘Throw those symbols out — I do not know what they mean, I have not time to learn symbols.’ I suggest a reply to those who would like data processing people to use mathematical symbols that they make the first attempt to teach those symbols to vice-presidents or a colonel or admiral. I assure you that I tried it.” — Grace Hopper

tl;dr: COBOL won.
Welcome to Europe. Where Germany basically pollutes the whole continent with its crappy cars and it punishes any company going against their carmakers, either by setting so called emission targets that bmw vw and daimler can bypass or by punishing those like tesla that move too fast.

You should also hear the crazies in that country pushing conspiracy theories about how electric cars in fact pollute more. Oh and not to mention they still use coal.
Neat, thanks for sharing! The motor(?) on that one is super interesting, too!
Do many aws/amazon engineers even have regular working hours? I'd imagine there is no 9-12,1-6 at Amazon.
> You cannot go to the airport with an arbitrary amount of money.

This is actually a major problem in the U.S. where the fourth amendment is supposed to protect against unreasonable seizure. It is not illegal to carry cash, but federal and local law enforcement agencies will by policy seize cash without charging anyone with a crime. The victim needs to sue to get their money back, and then the agencies use tax-payer dollars to fight it. This is a clear violation of the 4th amendment, but is absolutely rampant.

If we don't fix these problems with cash, you can bet they'll come for your crypto when it becomes popular enough.
Psychedelic music evolved out of the Space Age Pop easy listening genre from the 40s-60s (e.g. Joe Meek's I Hear A New World) and minimalist classical music (e.g. La Monte Young). Psychedelic sequences in film evolved from non-narrative abstract experimental films from the same era (e.g. Stan Brakhage)
You are badly misreading that graph. Emissions (black line) is the derivative of atmospheric CO2. The fact that they appear to line up doesn't mean what you seem to think it does; the increase in emissions is the cause of the increasing slope of the atmospheric CO2 value, not the direct value.

I think that needs the qualifier 'many (vocal) people's'. Dynamic languages continue to be exceedingly popular. The preference for static typing is I think over-represented in online discourse.

I would be very surprised if the amount of Clojure/Clojurescript out there in production isn't several times larger than the amount of F#. Not trying to start a language war but with the exception of Jet which I don't think is around any more I can't recall a single large company using F#.

I don't see either your claim or WalterBright's as clearly grounded.

> There is no way you can blame the GOP for Catholic behavior.

There's no way you can meaningfully associate the modern political parties with pretty much anything of the 1930s, because aside from the names, little is the same about the parties. You could blame the Hays Code on pressure from Catholic social conservatives, and observe that that is now a GOP constituency, but how meaningful that is depends very much on what you are trying to get to from it.

> Catholics have been solidly democrat until 2016.

No, they haven't; they’ve been split roughly evenly between the parties for much longer (this data only goes back to 1992, and shows it true the whole time):

You can’t quantity or even know “objective truth”. We can get really close for somethings, but knowing objective truth is akin to being a god. At the end of the day, everything is a model relying on some axioms.

Inter subjective truth, however, can be reached and is what we rely on most (a dollar bill is a fancy piece of cloth, but we all agree its worth a dollar). It is reached through consensus making.

Gathering a consensus is traditionally done through government or hierarchy, ultimately leading up to a single human or single groups input as “truth”. This method has continually begun to disintegrate as communication tech gets better (printing press -> mobile phone internet).

So the solution, to me, is to create consensus systems that rely on the input of many - use the law of large numbers, economic incentives, and the kaleidoscope of subjective truths to reach the most accurate objective truth we can.
That is just wrong. You have to tax the 1% of the list price, 0,5% for hybrid and electric and 0,1% for ebikes and bikes.

Also you don't have to pay the 45%. That is the highest tax bracket in the progessive system.

So you have to put the 1% (1000€ for a really expensive car you probably only get as a CEO) and assume that as payout. And then you tax that. For a good car you normally are in the range of 300-500€ a month for normal employees and then you can even pay the gas which is a bigger benefit for most people.

Also you don't have to pay taxes on unrealised gains, that is just bullshit. You have to pay taxes only when you realise those gains, e.g. when you pull the option and sell or keep the shares. As long as it is just options you don't have to pay anything.

But with your level of tax knowledge I would also be scared of the bad bad Finanzamt. OwO

I agree somewhat. F# is a decent language, even in some aspects "better" than Go, Rust or Python, but it is late.

I think F# does have a much stronger "in the browser" game. Yes, even a bit more than Rust, if you consider whole web applications and not just performance critical modules.

And some people and companies are extremely stuck in Dot.Net...
A more likely answer: They thought they can just fix all of this later and no one will care. I still remember this one story by pg where he had the part how they did their startup and that they didn't do all the things they were required to do (by law) at first, but just hired an accountant later to fix it all up. Those things don't fly in Germany. And Tesla is learning that the hard way.
If there is not a schema, there is no easy way to put the data into an RDBMS because the data must be encoded in that databases schema.
Rust rewrites are already in progress.
Hiring contractors to work on your house tends to end up the same too. So much of what the early people say just magically disappears when the actual work gets done by a completely different set of people.

As an example, when we had our bathroom done, the guy they sent to finish things up couldn't even center and level the towel racks.

Can't find any decent sized study for their use or supporting "done wonders". Have any?
There is still the question of whether such a small part of a bigger work is enough to be protected, but regardless. I think the article was written before that tweet and does not assume that 1:1 copies of longer code parts happen. As I wrote already to you, there is that whole faction of "even using GPL code for learning is wrong", and to my reading Redas article mainly addresses that. And it has the assumption that the verbatim copies will be very small.
Reminds me of when I worked at the early stages of a (now large) startup (I'm sure most of you have heard of the company), the CEO used to go to industry conferences and sit on panels with other competitors, intentionally giving terrible advice to throw others astray. He'd come back to the office and brag about the shitty advice he gave that everyone was eating up. This is why I don't go to conferences anymore.
If you think Godzilla vs Kong was one of the worst movies ever, I don't think you've watched very many movies.

I'd put The Wickerman (either version), The Fountain, and The Final Countdown (1980, nothing to do with the song, sadly) as easily worse than Godzilla vs Kong, and that's just off the top of my head.

It's certainly not a great movie, but it's well in-line with what you would expect from the title; slightly plausible plot, big monsters fighting in cities, trademark roar. Nowhere near the best movies, but strongly in the middle.

> but your argument applies to cash,

Right, so it's important to understand the context in which cash is used.

The vast majority of cash transactions take place in exchange for goods/services rendered immediately. Like I go to a grocery store, buy a pound of bread and pay cash. So disputes are settled right there and then, merchant and customer talk it out. Also, about 90% of cases ticket size is ~20$ so even if a dispute isn't settled in spender's favour it's no big deal. The spender will not transact at the merchant again so in fact more often than not merchants are willing to settle in favour of customers.

Now for larger ticket items I'd hypothesise that 99% of them are done through online through credit-card, bank transfer and what not. Due to safety reasons customer as well as merchant wouldn't want to deal with big sums of physical cash.

That leaves us with suitcase piles of cash being paid; and it's not hard to guess it's mostly being done to avoid authorities. Note that there is a legitimate use case for moving large piles of cash, say casino depositing daily earnings at their local bank. That is not a transaction in a meaningful sense.
Governments bestow, enforce, and adjudicate legal rights.

There may well be other types of rights that are being discussed here, and much of the confusion in discussions of rights seems to revolve around disagreement on those definitions. It becomes something of a mott-and-bailey tactic, or one of terms expressed and understood quite differently by participants.
If you're just going by that video, I can see why you might think so.

But he has a lot of respect for Japanese products in general, because they are well engineered and manufactured. And a lot of the stuff for sale these days in Norte America is very cheaply made, and he really doesn't like that.
> important competitive advantages in modern world is motivation to do things on your own

.. but if you don't have that?

Besides, tutoring can be a bootstrap to that, especially in young people. I've found myself that exercise is so much more likely to happen if it's not on my own, such as a regular personal trainer appointment. The more it becomes a habit, the more I feel like doing some more on my own as well.
> But having your phone want to call your contacts? That's ridiculous.

"If I work on machine learning at my day job, it should be fine to ask for patent rights on any ML related work I do outside of it, but asking for copyright ownership of a video game I make on the side is absurd." – James Liu

I don't understand the reasoning, why is it OK to hand over patent rights for work done outside of contractually defined hours simply if it's the same discipline? Hard to reconcile.
Haha, glad we can be helpful :-)

Over the winter covid case rates were pretty bad in Latin America. Thailand was at less than 100 cases/day, with a large fraction being caught in these quarantine facilities. Thailand seemed like the safer option.

Also it was a 7 week stay, so 2 weeks of quarantine was quite short compared to the duration of the trip.

> Hawaii is not much of a defense

Since it is a place that people can come to California from, it is a very effective defense against the claim almost by definition, if you move to California from somewhere else then "home" would be lower cost of living.
It's the Roboto font in 300 weight, where 400 would be a normal weight. I believe Roboto was the Android default font, so probably lots of testing/tweaks on Android make it readable there.
If you're on a project every day and familiar with all the pieces, there's not a large advantage to static typing. Static typing allows people unfamiliar with the program to make changes and have a reasonably high degree of confidence that they got them right. This can be junior devs, people new to the project, you after 5 years away, or a project that's grown to the point where nobody knows all the pieces.

I'm not saying this as a die-hard static typing fan. I wrote Python for years, have written JS professionally most of my career, and spent 2 years writing Clojure professionally. I'm comfortable with dynamic languages. The Clojure codebase was the most stable I've been on (including typed languages) largely due to the senior team and excellent QA. The only problem I had with it was when business shifted from a subscription model to an a-la-carte model, which required manually reworking a LOT of maps to match the new requirements. This is considerably more painful in a dynamic language than it is in a static one.

There IS a downside to static typing in terms of verbosity. I've seen Java codebases where half the code was there basically because of the static typing. More advanced type systems do not suffer from that problem. I'm fine with OCaml / F# / Rust / Typescript.
Blockchain doesn't have to mean cryptocurrency. It could be any time when you want to have a highly distributed but zero-trust database.

Mind you, currency would be the poster boy for that use case, and it doesn't seem to be very good at that. All of the other potential applications seem even less compelling. But it's at least good to know that the distinction between blockchain and cryptocurrency exists.
This isn’t even the largest battle so far; the battle of M2- in 2020 December happened in the current galactic ongoing war where 257 titans were destroyed. Since then, GoonSwarm (formerly the alliance of CFC with NC) is now cornered in a single constellation that’s essentially a fortified Minas Tirith, and PAPI (alliance of NC with PL) seemingly gunshy about committing to another bloodbath to take it. It could happen any day, and we’ll see another battle destroying years worth of industrial production.
A bad design choice is exactly what a design flaw is though. There's no other definition. If you make bad choices, that's a flaw in your design.

End users have to live with these choices, so we get to decide what is a flaw and what is not. Focusing on thin instead of useful is a design flaw. Requiring dongles for everything is a design flaw.

I generally agree with you, that proprietary knowledge isn't a good thing, but I don't don't see how things AWS Graviton are different to Tyvek or Nomex.

Given the opportunity, DuPont and Amazon would hide their proprietary knowledge just the same. Maybe one chemicals are easier to reverse engineer than cloud platforms, but the intention is the same.

Redis, at least the early versions (haven't upgraded since 2018) don't deal with bloat very well. Which means if you keep adding/deleting items, the amount of memory it will use up could easily be twice what it actually would be if you just dumped everything to a file.

Writing is about knowing your audience.

If you're a practitioner and not much of a programmer, it might be faster and easier to read the "math notation" version, which will be familiar to you, than the version a programmer might write, which might be unfamiliar and might require your brain to scan everything "from scratch".
A guide is more important than ever. Information is properly assimilated through some mental schema. When teachers talk about teaching people "how to learn", they're talking about helping a student to form those schemata (as well as specific techniques, etc.)
Bitbucket is an acquisition, and I’ve never been especially impressed by Atlassian’s abilities with systems integration. You can always spot the seams.

https://web.archive.org/web/20160303204710/http://www.itwire...

Atlassian makes me long for Trac, which at first was an epithet, but I’ve come to see it more recently as a distilled product that doesn’t distract from the job at hand. There are a lot of things that get done in the tools because the tools have features, not because the tools are good at it, or because it’s a good way to accomplish a goal.

Mostly what I use are histories, and linking between docs, commits, and builds. If confluence had a way to start a task list in the docs and move it to Jira, that would be one thing, but it can’t even do that. It’s all feature factory work instead of workflow-centric, which is what most of the users actually need.

Though sports figures are more likely to take private planes in general. [When] They have the high income to support it, they also have a need to get between many different cities fairly quick, and not all those cities have good commercial connections.

Thus racers are rich enough to support private planes - via their sponsors. Most people don't have that kind of income.

Payment reversal is an open invitation to criminals to steal from sellers. A friend of mine had his laptop stolen via payment reversal. Listed it on Craigslist for sale, a woman paid by PayPal and then came by to pick it up, and after she left she reversed the payment. PayPal automatically took her side because he didn't have a shipping tracking number. Cashier's-check scams are another classic form of this crime: https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2019/8/19/20808526/cashiers-ch... https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/how-spot-avoid-and-rep...

Obviously any payment method that is a layer over credit cards and US bank transactions is going to want to support reversal; otherwise, in cases like these, the payment processor gets left holding the bag. It's not "the result of decades of learnings and trial and error." It's the result of banking regulations which impose huge risks on anyone who receives money through the banking and credit card system, in order to avoid imposing risks on people who send money.

In many cases, those risks are not inherent to the transaction being conducted; they are introduced by outdated banking business practices that rely on detecting rare frauds after the fact and clearing transactions over the course of weeks or months. Instead of removing the risks, current banking regulations force them on anyone who receives a payment, so the banks don't have to fix them. Cryptocurrencies just remove those risks instead of externalizing them.

And that's why so many payment methods support reversal.
