"So I read a couple of tutorials online and went through the famous Learn You a Haskell for Great Good ! It was a long and painful journey - which is not over yet. After some retrospection I wanted to share my own introduction to Haskell based on my python experience. What I wished I had learnt first and what I wished I learnt later down the road."
Also, an employee is not one who can give permission for that, at most he/she can explain what is allowed/not allowed.

Like, just because a (potentially misinformed) McDonald’s employee told you, that you can eat your own food at the place doesn’t mean it is actually the rule of the place. And on top of that, in this situation it was even illegal.

I'm currently using Obsidian to convert my handwritten notes to .md files for Discrete Math. Besides the links already mentioned, this one is great as well as it gives some quick reference examples.

My old man opinion is that you should probably reconsider as I believe our online arguing has gone way down since we started using emoji in the workplace. Emoji are a useful tool to prevent misunderstanding. Tone, especially aggression, is difficult to express in short text form and so much of short business-oriented messaging looks curt and aggressive.
I wonder how much that makes private conversation possible? Like your own code language.
you clearly can not work in a team as the original codebase was in camel case and yet here you are pushing snake case. /s
“Imposing price controls” !? Couldn’t the company just not sell at that price… it is obviously still profitable to them.

This is my experience too. Our company has become a much more relaxed and friendly place since we embraced emoji.
I agree to the above in a painful way. I don't think of myself as a power user but I have at times to clean up the registry for stuff that uninstallers missed because the updated application does not want to install. It's a complete mess of having to dig through a tip to find a broken match box so you can destroy it without setting on fire the whole thing.

Meanwhile OS X or Linux don't suffer from this and working with applications is a lot more "streamlined". As I said, this is just a slightly above average skilled end-user perspective.
I'm not statistically trained but am trying to study by myself. The idea that GP is the extension to the mixed linear models is very interesting. However I still struggle to understand the relationships here, i.e in mixed models the different slopes are reflecting the different factors (categories, groups etc), but how do they extend to the GP space?

Also, it's easier to imagine the effects (or surrogates) of random variables such as Age, but a lot of the times in molecular biology there are independent variables that are not explainable (e.g gene expression level). Can they become intuitive with GPs?
No we don't do that. One of the most popular questions the first day of class is whether a prior edition of the textbook will suffice. It is very commonly accepted, especially if changes are minor. Authors offer big sweeping improvements to attract buyers. Used textbooks are a robust business.

And the simple fact is you are not forced to possess textbooks nor attend the university, no matter how beneficial it may be to do so. This is how people rationalize all forms of crime.
Well, yeah, I'm talking after regular exercise and a good diet.

I've seen people give in to stuff like wrist magnets and rejecting vaccines because they didn't like "chemicals in their body".

Why have this whole industry if people reject it?

I personally have the opposite problem - I can't get what I need.

I managed to a few times and can tell my life is noticeably worse without medication. So I guess this is the result of my experience so far.

Seeing people with access to prescriptions or suppliers who simply refuse to try "chemicals" because they can't be arsed to experiment or even learn how they work makes me sad.
One of my co-worker told me about journals in our field "they will edit it anyway" so I guess it depends on the field and journals. I personally would be against it and I don't understand how it is acceptable that carefully written words by scientists and agreed by co-authors are modified by a random nobody.

>>the majority of the public want oversight of these sorts of professionals.

The majority of the public wants whatever they are lobbied to believe they need. The majority also supports the War on Drugs and criminalizing the sex trade, and for the same reason: fear tactics used to convince them that the mere option of doing an ostensibly harmful activity, is to the detriment of themselves and society at large, even though the activity would harm no one but the party engaged in it.

Plenty of medical procedures could be done by nurses and other non-physician medical professionals, yet this entire option is barred to the public. There should be a free market, with consenting adults free to choose for themselves who to hire to perform services for them.

Even that isn't enough, unless you go with a CPU that doesn't have any branch prediction, speculative execution, or out-of-order execution. I'm not aware of any such processors.
> Sticking something back into the ground in a safe way is non-trivial. That is to say, expensive - more expensive than waste-management companies in developing countries care to pay

You do realize the waste is created by global north capitalists (and consumed by global north capitalists and the working class), right? So why mention that it is expensive for global south countries ('developing countries'), as if it's ok that the burden of our waste is on them?

In other words the global south countries have to deal with their own waste, as well as being used as trash dump by the global north capitalists. And if they are creating a lot of waste, it's because they buy planned obsolescent black box products from global north companies (companies who 'kicked away the ladder' in the first place [1] [2]).

“volatile std::atomic“ also works and is more clear, IMO.
I love Obsidian and I've been taking notes this way for about a year. But somehow I still find myself going back to VSCode with some extensions which add obsidian like behavior very often.
I don't quite know why but I think it's a combination of being able to open any file regardless of whether it's a note, the quicker workflow for snippets and the bigger community around VSCode (more extensions).

The good thing though, is that my "note vault" works with either, because it's just a folder containing plaintext files, some notes and some configuration files.

What I would love is if they made it possible to self host obsidian publish.
Most innovations happen in small companies. When they happen to develop a successful product and patent it, frequently a larger company just steals the idea and develops their own product. As a small company there really is not much you can do about it. Legislation is hugely expensive. Because most large companies have a huge patent portfolio they will probably be able to show that you are infringing on their patents so you are not very likely to win the case. If you are very lucky they will take over your company or offer you some money.

The only real alternative is to stop producing and become a patent troll that sues other companies that use your invention (but that still requires a lot of money).

In theory, patents could be useful, but in the current situation there are far too many patents for completely trivial things.
Of course I chose an analogy which sidestepped IP questions to focus on the moral issue of defending piracy based on the price.

If your argument is against IP though, why is the price relevant? You support IP laws as long as the price is one you personally find reasonable, so it's basically a system of voluntary donations then?

I'm pretty fond of using this tool to take trips down memory lane, revisiting lost content I used to enjoy.

Browsing through crawls has this neat side-effect of being able to serendipitously discover things that I missed back in the day just by having everything laid out on the file system.

PSA: There's a lot of holes in most crawls, even for popular stuff. A good way to ensure that you can revisit content later is submitting links to the Wayback Machine with the "Save Page Now" [1] functionality. Some local archivers like ArchiveBox [2] let you automate this. Highly recommended to make a habit of it.

That book was heavy on syntax right off the bat, and light on underlying theory, which is why I ended up bailing. The blog is even more extreme, and gives no explanation as to why a beginner should even bother. Might as well read the official Haskell documentation instead.

How much the fees should be and how Apple react to them are separate issues. Given the fact that Apple Retail UK posted a profit of just £39m in 2020 though, it seems likely that they'll have to exit the market as they won't be able afford even a reasonably low patent fee.

Assuming that their reported profit wasn't just a massive lie to avoid tax, obviously.

Not sure if this shows my age, but emojis are problematic because the perceived intent change with age and context.

One trivial example being the basic laughing smiley. For me who integrated them in my nervous system when all of them had noses, they convey a humorous undertone.

So "you are kind ;)" would read as "you are kind -- nah, just kidding!". I must pause when reading them to re-program myself not to see them sarcastically because I know most people don't mean it that way. Almost every kind of happy emoji seems to be a universal way of showing good intentions. It wasn't any easier when they crept into professional communications but here we are.

Just something to be aware of I guess.

They are just selling their own sync option. Since Obsidian store all the notes as plain markdown files on disk you can just use another sync option like Dropbox or even git.
But self-compilation speed is a common benchmark for this, because compilers themselves are rich programs that exercise all parts of the compiler and the compilation speed of which can be measured.

What others said plus diamonds are only valuable because they're absurdly expensive. The scam works like this:

- What is valuable as a symbol of love is something completely useless, but which requires you to burn excessive amounts of resources (money). This is because the act of figuratively setting your money on fire clearly signals that you're making a sacrifice (and the amount of money you thus burn also doubles as a proxy for your wealth).

- The scam was established by what's now over a century of ongoing marketing efforts to convince generations of people to consider diamonds as a symbol of love, thus to be priced per rules described above.

- The scam is maintained by finding ways to create artificial scarcity. For instance, lab-made diamonds are very cheap and made to much higher quality than naturally-found ones, but "naturally found" is a perfect discriminator to force scarcity around. Hence it's the mined ones that are used for jewelry.

Textbooks, or videogames, are products of utility, and don't have the aforementioned dynamics. The only thing that's happening is point 3: publishers trying to find a way to make artificial scarcity work, without a benefit of having a good discriminator (all bits are created equal) - hence DRM.

Of course none of that justifies robbery, but in all cases it does justify every effort to prevent artificial scarcity from being established and maintained.
> Congress could have ended the Iraq War, the Afghan War, reined in domestic spying, broken up the banks, passed serious financial and bankruptcy reforms after the '08 crisis or even repealed the ACA. They did exactly none of these things. Why is that, since they have so much power?

Because a majority of Congress (or the supermajority necessary to override a Presidential veto, in the cases where the President was opposed) didn't want to.

On the other hand, they authorized the Afghan War, and the Iraq War, and prevented the President from abandoning the detention facilities at Guatanamo Bay, etc., etc., etc.

Them choosing to exercise powers in ways you don't like, and not choosing to exercise it in ways you do like, doesn't mean they don't have power, it means they have different priorities than you do.

> And the Fed controls the money

No, Congress controls the money. They choose to allow the Fed to exercise some part of that power on their behalf, because their is perceived to be political value in doing so, but the power is entirely Congress’s.
>It’s true that people eat more calories today than they did in the 1960s and 70s, but the diﬀerence is quite small. Sources have a surprisingly hard time agreeing on just how much more we eat than our grandparents did, but all of them agree that it’s not much. Pew says calorie intake in the US increased from 2,025 calories per day in 1970 to about 2,481 calories per day in 2010. The USDA Economic Research Service estimates that calorie intake in the US increased from 2,016 calories per day in 1970 to about 2,390 calories per day in 2014. Neither of these are jaw-dropping increases.

A 20% increase in food intake seems huge. The data I could find on weight over the same period puts people at only 15% heavier, so this seems to be underselling the difference.
The ++x is a side effect from the abstract machine point of view. The issue is of course how the compiler maps the abstract machine to the real machine. Volatile is (purposefully) underspecified and I guess it is not completely unreasonable for a compiler to declare that a local volatile object whose address is never taken does not have a mapping at all.

There is little value on explicitly optimizing volatiles but of course that can happen as a side effect (ah!) of unrelated optimizations.

I rarely use volatile at all, but when I do, I do make sure not to apply it to local objects.

edit: I think the most reliable and portable way to make sure that the address of a variable escapes is something like this:

volatile std::atomic<void*> sink; // global

void escape(void*x) {
std::atomic_signal_fence(std::memory_oreder_release);
sink.store(x, std::memory_order_relaxed);
}

any signal handler executed after escape(&val) is guaranteed to be able to see the last value stored into val.

The encryption/decryption keys for your iMessages are stored with Apple, and are accessible to them. If you have iCloud Backup enabled, Apple–and thus law enforcement–can in fact decrypt them.

A while back, Apple was aiming to transition to store iMessage backups using a more secure method; ie. the same method that some other content such as Health data is stored, which uses encryption keys derived using local info such as your macOS or iOS password. The FBI requested Apple not to make this change, and Apple complied.

Apple runs a great PR game when they talk about privacy, but the reality is nowhere near the same. Some things are fully encrypted so that Apple cannot decrypt, while other things are not safe to store with them. iMessage falls into the latter bucket.

LYAH is a great resource but it is a bit dated at this point and there have been more entries into the space.

Haskell needs more content like this to show people how approachable it is, and especially when they're more up to date and more in line with recent best practices in using haskell.

As long as we're not all doing burrito tutorials, the more people that engage with Haskell (and write posts about it), especially simple, straight to the point ones like this the better.

I personally have written a guide on how to build practical APIs in Haskell that is now quite outdated[0], and while I tried to go from zero, it is almost certainly not a good entry guide. Glad to see more people taking stabs at it.

It can optionally also generate assembly code if you want to look at it, but it does not do this during normal compilation.
