RWH is even more outdated than LYAH, unfortunately. I learned off Haskell Programming from First Principles, but it's since become controversial because of a falling-out between the authors.
I would recommend starting with Elm. The language is much smaller, and the error messages are best in class. The error messages from the Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC) are often intimidating and it takes time to get used to them. Whatever you learn in Elm will translate more or less directly to Haskell.
Advertising in movies and tv series is huge. I hadn't really noticed smoking on screen much at all in a decade or so until I got Netflix.

Hey, I actually participated in one YEARS ago. I would've been around 13 years old at the time. Man, the memories.

The reason I sidestep the IP issue is I am personally much more favorable to that argument, however I didn't see it as relevant when people are labeling market behavior as "predatory". It's not to corner people into an easier target so much as to restrict the debate to the issue I take actual exception with. This idea of labeling something as "price gouging" as a moral defense for anything really. If someone owns something then they are free to ask whatever price they want, up to refusing to sell it at all. That's what ownership means.
People being left to make their own decisions about using or foregoing prosthetic technologies sounds rather simple to me.

Yes, it would be a primary motivation for me to memorialize my life for my children. It's tough losing a parent; my condolences on your father's passing. A friend I've known for 39 years is currently dying of ALS. It's crazy how fast it is taking him. He was just rennovating a house a year ago. He started a second family before being diagnosed, and he has a three year old. I remembered the Michael Keaton movie, My Life, where he makes videos of a bunch of things to teach his child when he is gone. I am horrible at the whole photo/video thing of myself. I guess it's the focus of being in the moment, and not sufficiently planning for it, so I am grateful my wife takes photos and videos once and a while with me in them.
I have a sneaking suspicion Netflix dropped SG1 because people like me would watch it almost continuously and therefore it contributed disproportionately to their content delivery costs.

Working for a more traditional company I am quiet impressed how I or even some smaller less hyped companies seem to offer so much more flexibility than the tech giants.
I can work from wherever I want and have for central europe a competitive salary (maybe not big tech but not far off). I got positions offered with statements as anywhere +/-2 hours timezone difference…
It looks like big tech started the movement but other companies followed it until the end - because they have less salary to offer and more affraid that people would leave (who would leave big tech?!).

I only mentioned waste management companies in developing countries because I watched the Ghana documentary you linked upthread:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27804441

My understanding from that video is that there's a network of companies involved - some on the export side, and some on the import side. Some of the latter are purely local operations - like the people operating the dump in that documentary.

In cases like that video, I find it hard to blame the locals: it's not like they have a more reasonable alternative to make money. But that's not always the case when it comes to waste management. For example, Poland is infamous for having illegal toxic waste dumps. Some local companies offer importing and properly disposing of the waste, but in reality they just bury it in the ground. For these people I wish long jail sentences, because we do have alternatives in this country; our economy does not necessitate for people to create environmental disasters (which then cost the taxpayer much more when discovered, as government then has to clean it up).
I've had long meaningful discussions that were nothing but links to Wikipedia pages.
I'm not sure that leaving the market will absolve Apple of paying the judgement, so staying in the UK market will help them recoup the cost. Leaving would be unlikely to improve their bottom line, so the judge was right - no evidence Apple will leave. This is just posturing, which won't go down well in front of a High Court judge.

I’m not an expert on the import/export side.

When I used the term ‘pricing control’, I was referring to the systems that some countries (eg UK, Germany) have in place for determining the price they’ll pay for a drug based on (roughly) the value it brings to patients. (The best known of these is probably NICE in the UK; it’s not a perfect system, but it’s a pretty good attempt.) Other countries in turn ‘reference’ their price from a number of similar countries including those with formal processes.

Broadly, this is why drug prices are controlled and lower in Europe vs. the US.

In the US, even where there are competing drugs in the same disease, there’s no pressure on prices - manufacturers can just keep on racking up their prices almost without a concern.

One of those reasons is going to be that QuickCheck predates PureScript by 14 years.

Devil's advocate:

If the original holder of a patent is a small fry, and does not have the resources to go after the big fish if they take advantage of the patent, shouldn't the original inventor have the right to sell the patent to get something, and then the new holder can use their potentially larger resources to get licensing compliance.

UX Perspective: Building a New IDE
OutSystems is soon releasing a new version of its integrated development environment (hooray for the dark theme!). But what's interesting is that the team is sharing how they did it from a UX point of view. So far, there have been lessons on what to do (or not to do) when building a UX practice within a company, and also an article on how the UX team at the company had to learn to quantify intangible concepts, such as beautiful and powerful.
Good point. I think there might be a win-win solution: If DRM degrades the experience so much, they should release a patch e.g. after two weeks (maybe a month?) from release which removes the DRM.
I only have anecdotal evidence. But in my lab we have tried all combinations (working in groups of n, for n=1 to 4, randomly assigned or not). All setups may fail, for different reasons, but the setup that is consistently less likely to fail is two students that get along well with each other. The case when one of them is more skilled is actually very good, because then they teach the other one. There's often other work to do, like presenting the solution, or writing a short report, and they can share that work as they see fit.

As a student, many years ago, I have been in both situations: the more skilled of the group who taught the other, or the less skilled that was taught (and worked really hard because I was ashamed to be a "useless nuisance"). Both experiences have been very positive in my case.

It would create quite a power vacuum, and it would scare people in other countries as well.

But I'm not convinced that it would cause a new competitor to exist. I think it's more likely that existing companies will eat up that market instead, and I don't think there are any UK companies poised to take over that market segment.

Sure -- my conditions were on the holder of the patent, not whether it can be sold.

In the case the patent owner isn't doing any R&D or engaging in economically productive activity (at all; nor esp. related to the patent).

I think we need, even a very minimal, condition here:

The government is only going to shake-down your competitor if you're actually in the same market. If you're just a guy hold a slip of paper, sorry, the government isn't your muscle.

To compute a constant of calculus (2019)
It's founding father thinking.

Madison for example said

"Allow the right [to vote] exclusively to property [owners], and the rights of persons may be oppressed... . Extend it equally to all, and the rights of property [owners] ...may be overruled by a majority without property.... "

Back in 1776, you could vote in the US. If you were

1) White

2) Male

3) Owned property

4) Were not Catholic, Jewish or Quaker

When Washington was elected in 1789, only 6% of the population could vote.

Even as late as 1850, some states (North Carolina for example) still denied the vote to white men (let alone anyone else) who didn't own property, and it was 1964 when the idea of paying to vote was finally outlawed with the 24th amendment.
Back in 1979 I wrote a Z80 machine language program on a TRS-80 Model I[0] to implement the Pollard Rho algorithm[1] and explore factoring repunits[2]. To monitor it I would put an AM radio next to the machine and listen to the noise.

The "Run around the loop" phase made a Chuntering[3] noise, and then the GCD[4] phase, implemented via Euclid's Algorithm[5] made a wonderfully ascending whoosh!

It was fairly straight-forward to know where the code was, and what it was doing, and it was great to fall asleep to of an evening.

Fair enough. Photos also leak much more data points than most people realize. For example, the higher the quality and resolution, the more diseases a skilled doctor would be able to diagnose from it - even ones you don't know you have.

My point is, all those little bits of data that are being collected all the time, by almost every website and program you use, leak all of this and much more. It doesn't "feel" like you're revealing anything important, and yet a full visibility into a week of your browsing history will tell me an order of magnitude more about you than a random photo ever could. A year's worth of your digital footprint will tell me more than your whole photo album. Etc.

(And the worst thing is, when you make and share your photos digitally, companies get both.)
I agree that emojis (or emoticons or kaomojis) are incredibly helpful in text conversation. But I think there is another thing going on in the article, and that's using emojis to replace text, instead of enhancing it. Sending just a heart or a thumbs up instead of a "thank you :)" or "this made my day!". A practice that helps cutting the noise in busy social network posts, but is much less expressive and meaningful. An emoticon is like a smile: it's much more meaningful when combined with words.

To get approval in US and Europe, the trials need to be of the same quality no matter where they are run. Sometimes it may be cheaper in poorer countries because you don't have to pay your volunteers as much. You still need to check all the appropriate boxes regarding informed consent as anywhere else. And, of course, western companies are entirely capable to run trials anywhere in the world. The COVID vaccine trials were run in Europe, the US, South Africa, Israel, and really any place where the incidence was high enough.

And China and Russia are not "making big breakthroughs": just look at the vaccines again: BioNTech/Moderna/J&J/AZ all work extremely well, all things considered. The Russian and Chinese vaccines don't. Just ask/look at the charts of Chile. Or any Russian.
How would this look different from someone holding a perfectly valid patent that Apple was using without licensing it?

(I have no idea as to whether this one is valid or not, I'm as against patent trolls suing people with bogus patents as anyone else)

Surely the patent IS the innovation, and a perfectly valid way to use that innovation is to license it to larger companies.
Also it’s a nearly free victory to anybody challenging the incumbents in power at the time. Imagine being one of the people on duty when Apple (a hugely popular consumer brand) pulls out of your country. Hard to explain that one to the constituency and come out looking good.
OK, after reading a bit more about the persons responsible for the mentioned products, I'll admit the "big bets" part maybe was a gross misrepresentation.
If apple's UK iPhone profits really are in the c. 50mil range, then a (5 to 10)bn fee to remain is commercially non-viable.

Note that this is about Apple's ability to sell an iPhone in the UK, and as far as I can see, it wouldnt affect whether the entire company would remain in the UK.

If I were apple, I would withdraw a product from a country which supported this kind of racketeering.
You're just being silly(-silly).

Normal communication has probably 1000x the bandwidth of text communication. Any extra bandwidth you can add and not overdo, for written communication, is useful.

I use emojis, maybe one every 500 words or so, and they do offer added value.
Not my intent. My position is that:

- Most people have little clue about how reality works;

- Companies thriving on people's data do their best to perpetuate that state of things;

- I don't blame people from being ignorant about practical implications of complex topics at the intersection of mathematics and philosophy; I blame companies for exploiting that lack of understanding.
> In the case the patent owner isn't doing any R&D

But by licensing the patent to interested parties, they might be supporting R&D of people who might not otherwise be doing R&D in this direction.

The ability to license some tech you know is likely to work in the form of a patent has some value.

There is no fundamental difference between compilers, code formatters, preprocessors or transpilers. Anything that takes a program and outputs another program related to it by some semantics is a compiler.

That said though, I do agree that calling an assembler like this (brainfuck is a kind of assembly) a compiler stretches things a bit, for an entirely different reason: usually there is some sort of a complexity threshold of the input language. The compiler has to at least maintain a symbol table for named entities (traditional assemblies has variable-like entities, macros and subroutines, the assembler has to keep track of all that). Brainfuck is completely linear, with no named entities at all. The "compiler" looks like a dumb string processor, just iterates over one buffer to transform it into another buffer, and doesn't maintain any sort of structures on the code being translated.

By the strict "compiler : program->program" definition, this doesn't matter. But my intuition holds that dumb string processing is a bit short of "true" compilation.
It shouldn't matter who owns a patent. If the person or company who registered it has decided to 'cash it in' and sell it to a company whose business is patent licensing is OK. Whether or not the patent is valid is the important issue. Optis 'won' $506m in the US as well, but the supreme court reverted the decision on Apple's appeal. The UK court has decided that it is valid (for now).

Something very important to note here is that the comment was made in regard to a case arguing whether or not Apple agree to be legal bound by another case next year to decide the patent license fee. Apple are arguing that they'll leave the market if the fee is too high. The reality is actually that if they agree to a binding agreement in the current case, and then decide the fee is too high after the case next year and refuse to pay it, they'll be banned from selling iPhones in the UK. Their exit from the market won't be their choice.

This remark is a scare tactic aimed at making the court agree a lower patent fee. No one believes that Apple will voluntarily leave the UK market, but if the court imposes a high fee Apple might be forced to. It's highly improbable, but it's not entirely impossible.
