In addition to what the offer recommended in the "Scheduling work" section, using the `:timer.send_interval()` can be useful if you want to do something every X seconds, instead of every X + Y seconds, where Y is the time it takes to process the "work" message.

Also I prefer to use `handle_continue` instead of `schedule_work()` style (which in a lot of cases pre-date the introduction of `handle_continue`).

Let me tell you that sweet mustard in Germany is still hot by Portuguese standards.

If I gave you spicy Portuguese mustard you would think it was tasteless, by comparison.

You're simply expressing your prejudice about a huge group of people and you have immediate experience about a very few of them that you noticed (probably because they were loud).

Are some people too troubled for easy housing? Absolutely, but you've made this huge step into "about half" and you are expressing a prejudice which keeps the problem from being solved because it becomes seemingly impossible with this hurdle you've invented.
Non-rhetorical question: do you think that would have been likely to cause the hypothetical implementor more or less pain, over the next decade or so, than OpenSSL's buffer overflows?
I wonder if less streamlined is still an issue. Yes, Linux has plenty of weird bugs and sharp corners, but since windows 8 or so, windows has at least as much of them. Wine gets at the point that it runs older windows software better than windows.

Games is still hit or miss, though.
Very common among girls who end up with anorexia, depression and other mental issues (particularly in the internet age, where there's porn, face tune and all sorts of social contagion). I'd hate to be a kid today. Or a parent.
As convenient as it sounds, I'm not sure we're quite ready for the modern resurrection of the Company Town. On a more practical note, my guess is: why would they invest in residential property when people will work for them anyway? It's not their core competency so it makes sense for them to stay out of that market.
Every time something like this comes up, I say something like, "Who wants to switch to Matrix (ie, Element, and before that, Riot Chat)?"

But then, I myself don't end up doing it, largely because of the network effect on Signal.

I think we need to just remember to always keep 3-5 of them open so we can have some horizontal evolution.
I worked for a company that was acquired by rackspace years back, they were hands down the worst company I’ve worked for.

The acquisition was a total mess, working there for the short time I did is what I imagine prison feels like. Very territorial, aggressive and pointless.
USN doesn't train M16 usage in basic; they use a shotgun instead. They DO train you to fire it from the hip, but firing a shotgun from the hip is very different than firing an auto/semi-automatic rifle from the hip.
Never put anything from Amazon into your body. Their sourcing policies and procedures put all the risk of counterfeits onto the customer.

AFAICT -- and I would be happy to see counter-evidence -- all the unlicensed spectrum suitable for LTE or 5G is in the 5-6 GHz frequencies. The physical characteristics of transmission don't change, so one might as well just deploy the cheaply available 5GHz wifi systems -- you don't get an advantage by using LTE or 5G protocols.

i suppose if you only had relatively low data rate applications you could use 900MHz, but there's a dearth of CPE. 900MHz unlicensed has slightly more bandwidth than a single 2.4GHz wifi channel.
"Inglourious Basterds is an abomination, a deliberate cognitohazard."

I have to strongly disagree here. Since it was soo absurd, it was obviously a work of fiction. A surreal funny one at that. A gang of jews that blows up Hitler? Yes, a movie can do that. Anyone taking it literal, has definitely other problems in life.

But I do have a problem with movies, that pretend to be historical authentic - but are not. And are therefore effectivly rewriting history. And sadly most, if not all "historic" hollywood productions fall into that category.

This is where I see the problem - when the lines get blurry.
The word "type" is very overloaded. In the language of type theory, Prolog (and many other languages, usually dynamic) consider a universal type of all terms, and then a "type" is a set on the universal type. This is a fine way to go (though you can get contradictions in the form of infinite loops in typechecking if "types" are terms themselves).

In type theory, at least for the ones many theoreticians seem to be interested in, the has_type/2 predicate (using Prolog terminology) is a function, which is to say has_type(x, y) has a single value for y for any given term x. Things are set up so that the way in which x is represented (i.e., constructed) determines y. This is useful computationally because if you know something's type, you then know how to deconstruct it into components. For example, types drive the expected cases of a match expression.

My main point with this comment is to bring up the fact that the article is talking about type theories as academics who study functional programming languages see them, so in context it's not specific to Disco.

(I should mention that has_type is only a function given a symbolic representation of a construction for x. Theoretically, things of different types can have the same internal representation, like with Java generics or C structs, but I think you can always arrange things so that has_type is a function by tagging values with their type. Even in more delicate dependent type systems.)

(I guess I should mention that my understanding of types after some years of confusion is that in the end they essentially provide an API for values. The program code sort of constitutes a proof that a value has a specific type, and then you can interact with it as such. It's explicitly not part of the API for a type to be able to tell whether something has that type -- in many type theories, values can have multiple types! Sets on the other hand are a type where part of their API is that values can determine whether or not a value is an element. It's certainly possible to fuse the concepts so that types are required to be sets, but I think this is avoided because there's not always an algorithm for the set interface.)
Increased muscle=increased metabolism. Which means it's easier to stay at a healthy weight.

I've been relatively active my whole life, and it wasn't until I started lifting weights (mostly pull ups and chin ups) where I actually started to see a difference.
Space Tourism Is a Waste
I see the potential. It’s radio or podcasts, but unlike those, listeners can participate. You could ask questions. It’s kind of like going to an in-person panel, but you don’t have to solely dedicate yourself to it. You could have this going while driving, or working, or however people normally use podcasts/radio, then there’s this added benefit. Can you imagine joe Rogan where some of his fans could talk with him? Could be nuts (in a good way)

I think the platform is going thru the hype curve, where it’s going to have to find the types of content that work best for that, and build around that. That’s what happened for live video - it also used to be a smorgasbord of chaos, everything from people talking to people just streaming themselves sitting there. Justin tv realized gaming was working / leading to a lot of engagement, and relaunched around that concept (twitch).

I wouldn’t rule it out just yet.

I used to race sailboats. It annoys the heck out of me when drawn depictions of sailboats have the sails on backwards (such as the spinnaker on the rear) or have the wind filling the sails from an impossible direction. It’s clear that artists often don’t understand their subjects.
I would add that your exercise should strenghten your body core. Having strong core muscles is a game changer. Too many people chase strong arms and possibly legs while neglecting the core.
Part of the idea was that it would be more authentic and kinder. When people are completely anonymized they are free to be their worst selves. Your voice is personal. Its slower though because its more 'single threaded' for lack of a better term, than a reddit sub.
That's not true. Weight lifting exists in a separate exercise category to cardio and fulfils different roles, triggers different endocrine pathways.

Either way, exercise is better than not, but lifting weights is also better than running in many regards. Been a while since I read about this so I'm struggling to remember specifics - hopefully somebody will come along and expand upon this.
My sentiment exactly. It felt like there is something interesting that could be done with a piece of software like that on mobile (I used it mostly while out on runs or walking).

I remember thinking that there will surely be a fedirated/self-hosted version spun up in no time and then we'll see if the idea really takes off.
Abundant, inexpensive storage plus inexpensive renewable electricity would mean one big problem solved. There are still a lot of non-electrical sources of emissions that still need to be addressed:

- Steel production

- Ammonia production

- Organic chemicals production (polymers, lubricants, solvents...)

- Electrification of transport (world car and truck fleet is still 99% combustion powered, and these iron batteries aren't the right kind for mobile usage.)

- Synthetic fuel production for applications that can't use batteries, like rockets and trans-Atlantic passengrer flights.

- Cement production, which currently releases large amounts of CO2 from fossil combustion and from the chemical transformation of limestone.
It's necessary if you want to attract the mainstream users, who could not care less for e2e security but values stickers, filters and stories above all else.
At 50 people everyone is still within 1 skip-level of the CEO. That doesn’t seem overly hierarchical to me.

What does seem a little surprising is how many “chiefs” the CEO has reporting to them. In my experience with companies around 50 people, things actually tend to not be sliced into so many pieces, but rather there are a few larger slices that are functionally heterogeneous.
> imperative programming is easy to understand by humans

It's interesting that you choose C as an example because the absolutely immense numbers of bugs and security vulnerabilities directly due to C should, alone, lead us to question this. People might feel they understand C, but they're empirically wrong!

We can argue about why this is the case or whether it applies to other imperative languages, but it's pretty depressing we're still arguing about whether it is the case...

Matrix is a solid replacement. Element isn't as easy to use but it's coming along. Quality-of-life features normal users expect like stickers, gifs, etc. are woefully lacking, but the important stuff (y'know, actual messaging) is solid.

The most important thing to me is if Element screws up like Signal and starts pushing a shitcoin, I can swap clients without affecting my network.
It should be faster for higher-order AD, among other things. Keno talked about some of the theory in [1], but also has a Juliacon presentation later this week.

The plant world is "smarter" than we give it credit. Some plants count, keep time, and communicate with their environment. This research is in a similar vein to this TED talk showing some of the neat things plant do that we would attribute as features of the animal kingdom.

Yes, this is to be inferred from the statement "grifting pundit"

Ahh well. It's always been in the back of my mind that it would be outright insane to think that the first society we're able to know of would with such tech that we have would be able to manage to not fuck themselves back into worse than the stone age. I think it's coming this century, at least we get to watch...
To eliminate the possibility of misrepresentation, I propose we construct barbells out of the densest practical material. While metallic hydrogen has its theoretical attractions, you'll definitely need to buy some new gloves to lift. Uranium is reasonably cheap really, but export is a hassle. Perhaps something like an organometallic ceramic osmium compound? (Or have the aliens not officially released that to us yet?)

Actually a block of wood will do fine. Or vinyl. Brass. Iron. Gravel-filled. Water-filled. Lead shot filled. (Not RoHS). Weight plates have a few standard sizes used in competitive gyms but it's not really standard in any way beyond that Olympic sequence. And at the end of the day the best weight is a weight you have and you can grip well :)
While I hate these features as much as everybody else on HN, they are likely necessary if they ever want the app to go mainstream.
Not in my experience. But it varies a lot depending on the product.
Isn't it competitive advantage: you can have a cool office and nice apartment next to it, or only cool office and commute for 50 minutes every day
Do you need a different SIM to connect to a private network or you can use a commercial one (Verizon etc..)?
I do not understand why you are downvoted. The fundamental issue for smaller merchants is economies of scale.

90% of people only need access to 3 different versions of the same product 90% of the time: high, mid, and low quality.

Hence why retail is a “solved” market that has had sub 5% profit margins for a very long time.

This is what efficiency looks like and what 90% of people want.
Lead sounds great. A bit of insanity goes a long way towards them gains :D
You also presumably were able to manage your own affairs, had a reputation and connections that meant you could get safe living quarters without being assaulted or having your stuff stolen, weren’t leaving dangerous biohazards around someone else needed to be paid to deal with - all of that adds up.
"People who FIRE don't inherit money."

This is blatantly false. There are plenty of people who become Financially Independent and Retire Early (FIRE) once they inherit money.

Do you think futures traders are contributing enough to society to warrant early retirement? How about the oil futures issue last year? Was that beneficial to society? These people are more about greed. They do not produce anything for society and their facilitation "benefits" are limited and can be wasteful in the name of making more money.
I pretty much agree with all of this. Buddhism like most things isn’t easily defined as a single set of beliefs for everyone. Lots of Buddhist partake in scientific research in the functioning of the brain. Others, some like the meditation retreat types, focus on pseudoscience and mythology to sell tickets.

Phineas Gage as well as the practice of labotomy definitely shows that the hardware is extremely important. Phineas as well as most lobotomy victims spent the rest of their life as fundamentally different people with enormously different personalities after the damage to their brain. Phineas became extremely volatile and had problems with executive functioning.

> that injury's reported effects on his personality and behavior over the remaining 12 years of his life — effects sufficiently profound that friends saw him (for a time at least) as "no longer Gage"
— from Wikipedia

However your point about healing is well taken. Howard Dully who had a lobotomy performed at the age of 12 has managed to recover to a significant degree as his brain has “re-wired” around the damaged areas. It’s believed his young age allowed for the significant recovery.

All that said, my main point which I feel like you’d agree with is that even if the software and hardware of the mind works around and heals itself, it’s not a metaphysical or supernatural process. Understanding the underlying hardware and chemical process, as well as the emergent processes that allows that healing and work-arounds ultimately leads to greater understanding.
Science Lost the Public’s Trust
My thought would be that "choosing to accelerate [more/less]" and "choosing to brake [more/less]" are strategic-level decisions; and, if you have a self-driving car, the tactical-level fine input of how much more/less can be handled for you.

Kind of like what's going on with mouse-"controlled" movement in this AI gameplay here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYluZRwrw9w

Or, to put that another way: the car already has a (low-confidence) idea that there's an obstacle in the path, and so it already has a "possible plan" to brake hard to stop in time to not collide with the obstacle. You just have to choose that plan — declare your strategy — by pulling back on the yoke. It then executes on the plan.
Well people think they are pinning their critical dependencies by using a requirements.txt file. But it normally the transient dependencies are not listed. And anytime you rebuild a

You probably know this but for people reading along who think using requirements.txt is the same thing: it is not.

How lockfiles work is that you define your dependencies in a file like pyptoject.toml or Pipfile (similar to a Cargo.toml). You then use pipenv or poetry or pants to compute all the dependent versions of your dependencies and transient dependencies. Then that's saved in a lockfile. Any time you need to remake a venv for local Dev or rebuild a docker container or install deps for CI is uses the same locked versions from the lockfile. Only when you decide to recompute the dependencies do the transient dependencies change in the lockfile.

Sadly, a standard lockfile was rejected from PEP-650, held back by pip being woeful:

In light of some of the questions here, why does every for-profit company that tries to make money out of open source, and build a substantial brand out of it, turn shady? Some implode over it- CyanogenMod, CopperheadOS, or the bigger ones lose credibility or become a mess of cancelled projects- Canonical, Mozilla.
You are right but IMO the difference is that the government is enabling people to “retire” without ever working a day in their life. If you have enough money for food, shelter, and free healthcare from cradle to grave with zero requirement of ever working a single day in your life, I think society will change.

I believe the hypothesis is that they evolved as a "thing domestic cats can do" for communication with humans, but adult cats that know how to meow, don't just use their meows to communicate with humans. They see it as a general communication tool, and will also try to use it with other cats.

The supporting evidence for this hypothesis, I believe, is that meowing has been observed to be a learned communication technique gained only if a cat interacts with humans during development; adult feral cats, living only around other cats during their development, never learn this technique or its social meaning, and so don't understand the social signal being communicated by domestic cats when the domestic cat meows at them, nor do they try to use it in response.

(Same goes with the domestic cat's social signal of keeping their tail raised when standing to express trust. Feral cats don't develop that habit, either.)
Fixed the homepage text. Thanks.
I don't mean unix domain sockets, those are known as IPC sockets. The berkeley sockets API you are familiar is actually exactly what I was talking about. It does offer both types of sockets (the other being network sockets as I originally mentioned) but it uses handles in an abstract namespace not files in a filesystem (e.g. in Linux it's still a FD but it doesn't map to an actual file on a filesystem it's just a unique handle in its own namespace).

What I was referring to were things like /dev/tcp/ and /dev/udp you'll find on Solaris (or emualated via bash on most systems) which are actual filesystem paths instead of handles in abstract namespace. A usage example of this comparable to binding to a socket with the BSD API to udp://localhost:2048 would be "echo "example" > /dev/udp/localhost/2048". The actual I/O is through the standard file/filesystem interface just like /dev/random. It's not the best for network sockets though so they tend to get a raw handle in every modern OS, even if it does mean rebuilding the wheel on some other things.

Network sockets are the canonical example of "not everything in Unix is a file". "Everything is a FD" is true but "everything is a handle" is true on any OS design, the uniqueness that things like ram and disks are just files under / did not hold true with networking.

And yes I have written plenty of apps with ipc sockets and network sockets and raw sockets and even underlying device access (for things like custom Ethernet packets). I'm in networking by profession.

I think half the success of this approach is due to culture as well.
