I have pretty much the same intuition, except I think of functors not just as containers, but as sources of T. If you have a source of Ts, you can adapt it with a function from T to S to get a source of Ss. If you want to apply a pipeline of type-changing operations to some source of initially Ts, a functor is the right metaphor. (And if you have a sink instead of a source, that's a contrafunctor.)

If you have two sources and you want to combine them into a single source, you need an Applicative Functor, also known as a monoidal functor.

If you have a source that itself produces sources, and you want to flatten the nesting and treat it as a single-level source, you need a Monad.

> F<T> -> () (a function which takes a T and returns nothing) is a type constructor. It's not really a functor.

I'm having a little trouble matching the prose against the type signature. A function which takes a T and returns nothing would have type `T -> ()`; no F in sight. I'm guessing you meant that F<T> is defined to give `T -> ()`, in which case F is indeed not a functor; it's a contrafunctor, a place to which Ts can be sent (not retrieved).

Destiny 2
The main gameplay in Destiny 2 is based on the mechanics of the first part of the game, but it has been heavily changed and received many additions that have been so loved by a huge number of players. now players are not constrained, but they have a lot of interesting activities in the game to choose from. The strengthening of the character has undergone the greatest changes, now you have a choice of how to increase the Strength of your heroes: go through the storyline campaign; take part in mass events, adventures, raids or strikes. The game has a huge number of missions with different monsters and locations, which will not let you get bored during pumping. Destiny 2’s storyline is based on the Red Legion’s assault on the last stronghold of humanity under the command of Dominus Gole. The Guardians were defeated and the city fell, after Ghaul captured the Wanderer, all Guardians lost their abilities and important vault items. The Vanguard is in exile, and the Guardians must rebuild their strength by reuniting with the Light and finding new exotic weapons to free the city from oppression.

Yeah, if I get rejected, I always assume that the response from HR or the recruiter or whatever is just whatever story they need to tell themselves to feel good about the outcome. It is highly unlikely to be related to any actual reasons in question.

But, I try not to burn any bridges over it. If I got the interview because of a personal connection, I will do whatever I can to maintain that personal connection, regardless of the fact that I got rejected. They might know of something that comes up in a week, or a month, or six months, or they might move on themselves to a different company, or whatever.

And who knows — maybe they did actually tell you the truth, and you just didn’t get enough context in the answer to fully understand why.

But that also doesn’t stop you from continuing to try elsewhere, and take what you can learn from that experience and apply it to your next interview.
To me (who doesn't use Twitter) this seems like a fair solution. If you are running a legitimate bot I don't see what you have to hide. It's only people trying to be intentionally deceptive that have to worry.
WhatsApp sends out DNS probes to 8.8.8.8 unencrypted (TrackerControl does trap and proxy these).

And spyware SDKs like InMobi and Gamooga do DNS over TCP which almost all apps on Android leak (but TrackerControl does not).

Telegram does its own DoH (?). Instagram does hardcode some of its IPs, not all (TrackerControl has no mitigation for these).

Disclosure: I co-develop a similar app to TrackerControl

And everyone is going to get coronavirus sooner or later, regardless of how vaccinated the population is. Because if the virus was stopped dead by vaccination then it wouldn't matter what other people did, and if it isn't then ... vaccines aren't going to stop you catching it eventually.

Besides, there have been crazy ideas floated like making an issue out of vaccinating people who have already had & recovered from COVID. They're less likely to spread the coronavirus around than any other demographic.

I am not a haskell pogrammer but reading about monads it seems much ado about nothing. It seems that one does not need to understand category theory to understands monads. Basically, I would say, in very basic language, that a monad is a thing that swallows values so you cannot get them back. You can have one function that produces a value that is swallowed by the monad. Then you can compose these kinds of functions one after another and have all values swallowed by the monad. The use is e.g., to do output (IO monad) or do error handling (maybe monad). If you could get back your values from the output the output could be used to store state and functional programmers hate that so the output is a monad and cannot be used to get the state back.

> For example, if someone refuses a vaccine, should an emergency room be free to refuse care? Currently, they can not due to EMTALA.

Should not refuse care. A lot of people have unhealthy lifestyles (eating lots of processed foods, sugary soda drinks, don’t exercise, smoke, …). We also don’t refuse healthcare to these people even if they make poor life choices.

Since many people on this site live and work in the USA, I would guess more likely than not plenty of people are obese here. You don’t magically become obese. Yet you deserve healthcare, since you pay taxes, pay for a health insurance, etc…

It makes sense if:

- There's a potential legal/tax risk involved with having stock numbers be bad, and/or

> It becomes a conflict situation where the dev manager has to pick a side and either fight the dev team or fight the rest of the organisation.

I think that describes a weak dev manager because they immediately got caught in the trap of playing a fictional estimation game instead of trying to deal with reality. A strong dev manager will communicate the risk to the rest of the managment team. Then they will make decisions based on risk and reward and educate the rest of the managment team about that. If the rest of the managment team wants to pretend that risk doesn't exist and that they want to be shielded from reality then they in turn are weak and there is not much you can do about it. (other fields are similar, e.g. the military).

All evidence is that it still is a greater risk to not get vaccinated if you've had COVID than to get vaccinated. A lot of bullshit "reportedly" happens. That's why the CDC sets guidelines based on the based scientific evidence available and says you should get the vaccine whether or not you had COVID. Stop spreading disinformation.

"The whole point of democracy and freedom is that you convince people with words and not with sticks."

This is just false, though. The whole point of democracy is to allow folks to have a voice in their politics, not to avoid forcing folks to do things. We force folks to do things all of the time. This is what laws do: Sometimes they are easy to follow, but we also know that if we don't have, say, building codes and food safety laws that some folks will cut too many corners building or add weird things to bread (like in the 1800's).

Simply put, you aren't always going to be able to use words. And it seems vaccinations are similar.

Here is an article last updated august 13 2021:

"But studies on Alpha and other variants cannot be easily generalized to Delta, says Steven Riley, an infectious-diseases researcher at Imperial College London. [...]
So far, there are no published data on how vaccines affect infections and infectiousness with Delta, but a UK study5 published on 21 July shows that the Pfizer–BioNTech and Oxford–AstraZeneca vaccines both protect slightly less well against symptomatic disease caused by Delta than against that caused by Alpha. This could also mean a drop in how well they protect against transmission of Delta, but there is still a lot of uncertainty, says Dean.

[...]
Even if vaccines are just as effective at preventing infections with Delta as with earlier variants, if Delta is more infectious, transmission in households could still increase, says Dean."

I think the danger is that often the vaccine is presented as THE solution, i.e. when you get it you don't have to worry about anything. I know far more people who are vaccinated and just stopped being careful (social distancing, masks, ...) than people who haven't vaccinated that aren't careful.

The problem here isn't that the fridge is tracking door opens. That seems like a good application for a "smart" appliance - tracking how usage patterns affect its internal state and holding a dialogue with the user. The problem is that it used email, which comes across as passive aggressive in the same way it would if a human did it. If it just showed a notification on a screen, I don't think we'd be having this discussion.

I think, if appliances are going to be "smart", it's time we started holding them to similar standards of behavior to humans. Our machines are learning to talk; now they need to learn not to be rude.
Oh, I always download whatever the software is in question, and then do practice runs with it to make sure I know how it operates.

You can’t always do that with whatever whiteboarding or shared IDE solution they might want you to use, but at least with the chat/shared screen solution, you should definitely be able to do that. Find friends or family to help you, or whatever it takes to practice that.

The in-person equivalent would be knowing exactly how to get to the building where you’re going to interview, know where parking is, etc…. You do a dry run and see what it’s like. Maybe also take a moment to look at people going into the building to see how they’re dressed.

Make sure to fully review any material that HR or the recruiter gives you before the meeting. Review it again just before the meeting. If they have any suggestions on interview techniques or the kinds of things you can do to help explain your experience, make sure you can do that in spades.

Beyond that, I would encourage you to be authentic. Be your best version of yourself, sure — but still be true to your core nature. If they don’t like you, then you’ve probably dodged a bullet.

For all my references, I ask them to be radically transparent and honest with their discussion of me. I wouldn’t ask them to be my reference if I didn’t trust what they were going to say in the first place, so I would prefer that they don’t whitewash anything they would say about me. If my references scare off a potential employer, then again — they’ve helped me dodge a bullet.

Still, I guess the science is interesting. I'd like it more if it was about eg, noninvasive diagnostic procedures rather than spying.
People aren't allowed to drive drunk not because it's a risk to themselves, but because it's a risk to other people. This is the same with the vaccine. You are putting at risk children, the immunocompromised, or people who have legitimate medical reasons they can't get the vaccine, do your logic falls apart. Not to mention the risks and costs associated with an overburdened healthcare system.
Being fairly ignorant of this stuff, your comment made me check the location of bikini atoll. I had just assumed it was reasonably close to the USA but it might as well be south east asia's back yard compared to the distance across the pacific to the US. History and international nuclear testing rules aside, imagine the reaction from nations like China, Japan or Australia today if the US set off a 15 megaton thermonuclear reaction that close to them! 1954 was a different world.
I’m suggesting the government policy of basing their economy on magic beans is reflective of the IQ of their population. The value of bitcoin halved 2 months ago. What would happen in the US if one day the buying power of everyone’s wages and the utility of their savings was halved? Most wouldn’t make rent.
Here is my take on masks. Of course they work, to varying degrees. I don’t need a government official to tell me that.

My take on official gov statements is that they cannot always be taken a face value. It would be naive to do so, especially in a time of crisis. If I recall correctly, this was at a time when masks were in very short supply and I took this as misinformation to keep medical providers from having to re-use masks.

However, there were all kinds of missteps during the pandemic and keeping the public “calm” seemed to be a major priority for the previous administration.[0] This could have been part of that. But I readily admit that this is all speculation.

This is nice closure for me after all these years!
The size of the group matters. Humans function well in small groups where everyone knows each other, and everyone must work together to survive (and then only if we ignore what happens to individuals that, due to character or a sudden health issue, can no longer pull their weight). But this doesn't scale past couple dozen people.

Meanwhile, the other strong drive that both humans and other animal species share is competition between the groups. Over the course of history, humans started to form groups of hundreds, then thousands, and eventually millions of people. In such groups, the drive to subdivide and compete dominates - the history of social development is one of inventing social technologies - cultural and legal mechanisms that keep those large groups whole and defeat our competitive instincts.

It seems to me that there is a qualitative difference between having synchronous HTTP requests in the JavaScript standard library and having access to System.IO.Unsafe.unsafePerformIO in Haskell. Still, I take your point that in theory JavaScript could remove all synchronous I/O side effecting functions and replace them with continuation-based ones.

Anyway, we've wandered pretty far off the main thread, which wasn't mine to begin with, so I'll let lmm take up the discussion again if he wants.
To me the size of a language, and the size of a project, are totally different metrics. One could make the case that a large language provides developers with a more complete toolset suitable for smaller projects. My own experience with Ada may be different to that of others, however I've really seldom needed to use any non-core libraries to accomplish what I've needed to do. If you factor in the STL, I'm sure Ada would be far smaller than modern C++. Rust is no doubt smaller than Ada though, however I've never like the idea of needing to use third-party libraries for basic functionality that the language itself could provide.
Some of these are genuinely laugh-out-loud. Thanks.
They have really different outcomes though.

There's absolutely no way you can stress the nervous system and build muscle and bone density as efficiently as with lifting weights.

Calisthenics, which is what Yoga is, body weight exercises, can never achieve the same results. You can come close in a lot of ways, one legged squats etc, but ultimately, you cannot work your back and your core as effectively as with a 1.5x body weight dead lift.
Let's word this more sharply.

What if you get super unlucky, and you get contaminated and severely ill despite vaccination? Will they kick an unvaccinated covid patient from the one respirator?

> Because if the virus was stopped dead by vaccination then it wouldn't matter what other people did, and if it isn't then ... vaccines aren't going to stop you catching it eventually.

I'm not sure if you chose this binary line of thinking or if it was by accident, but you present the outcomes based on a 0 or 100% efficacy when it's not the case.

It matters/ed what other people do, and if more people got vaccinated (or could do so earlier) it might've stopped covid. Whether it could now is a crap-shoot, but more protection is always better than less.
