There are a lot of different styles and intensity levels. The appropriate one for you is a combination of personal preference and your level of physical fitness.

For an absolute beginner, where I have no idea what level of fitness you have or what injuries you may be working with, I would recommend Iyengar. It is relatively gentle, and emphasizes careful development. A lot of people like Vinyasa, which can range from slow and gentle to as aerobic as running. I like Ashtanga, which is about doing the same set of poses every time, but doing them correctly. I wouldn't recommend it for absolute beginners, however.

Obviously, don't run out and do crazy stuff like headstands or intense backbends or balancing poses unless you have experience. But also be aware that even "normal" yoga can have positions that are risky for people when done incorrectly -- for example, men typically have tight hamstrings and hips, and compensate in forward folds by bending over from the lower back. This can be dangerous if you don't have a strong back (and it's never a good idea). It is helpful to have 1:1 instruction if you don't know the form.

If you want someone who I know is a good instructor and willing to teach via video, please backchannel me and I can recommend.

The article is likely aimed at intermediate-ish FP programmers, though, not people with no prior knowledge. (Although I suspect it is an example of "learning by teaching", since it is wrong on many counts.)

Learn You a Haskell mentions functors in chapter 8 and teaches them properly in chapter 11.

I should be clear: you don't have to sell me on Haskell or these other concepts. I would love to add all that stuff to my toolbelt. I'm suggesting that the zoo of new terminology makes the effort barrier to doing so much higher than it needs to be.

I'm sure some of it really is warranted, but my experience looking at formal math and logic is that they make things a lot harder than they need to be by introducing terms and symbols that stand-in for intuitive concepts and require unnecessary mapping back and forth between what you're reading on the page and the underlying concepts.

Dueling used to be acceptable in the US and that didn’t prevent free speech. As long as it’s limited to reasonable fines simply requiring civility is unlikely to significantly quell free speech even if it did get abused by government officials.
Integer is a type.

List<Integer> is a type.

List<T> is a type constructor.

In order to get a real type from a type constructor, you need to "pass it type parameters". In the example above, you need to say that T is Integer.
Willing to put a confidence interval on that binomial parameter estimate? :)

I’ve definitely had similar thoughts, though obviously no one dimension can capture all the nuance we’d really want for the discussion.

Personally, I find myself split between liking both (and being frustrated by both). The frontend/product stuff is the kind of stuff that’s easily explainable to grandma (“hey look at this button! I made that!”) but at the same time, “pixel twiddling” (spending hours just to combat weird issues in CSS leaves a spire taste. The backend/infra stuff is often much more “challenging” in many ways (not to say frontend is “easier”), but there have definitely been times at the end of a long day of work where I’m not really sure what I had to show for it.
They both contain both elements, but the point is to sharply alter the emphasis. “Software as a Service” is a reasonable description in the salience model of the mainstream software industry, because it is something that you choose and integrate and use like software, except it just so happens to be a service, coming with various costs like subscription fees and very direct vulnerability to upstream changes, and various benefits like installation and maintenance functions being centralized far away where you don't have to directly manage them.

“Service as a Software Substitute” pushes the ‘service’ part to be the most salient. It depicts something which is fundamentally a service, where ‘substitute’ once more emphasizes that you do not, in fact, have the software itself, even though it is taking the role of software. The FSF considers this very important, because they wish users to be able to copy and modify the software they use, and pseudo-distribution purely as a service does not naturally allow for this. If that is not something you care about, then the emphasis will seem strange, yes.
Brewing? It’s been brewed.
I'm one of those. I took my GUI experience off my resume so people would stop asking me to do it. "Backend" has been serving me just fine.

Except when I'm feeling snarky, then it's "Backend ;)"
Sure. I'd say all of those things eventually reach stupid once the numbers get big enough. I'm not saying I never engage in some of this stupidity myself, I do. But the degree of stupid scales in proportion to the amount of money involved.

And then NFT's just add a whole new special layer. Again, what I suggested above was perhaps a way to parlay this very stupid thing into something perhaps less stupid (the ultimate goal being to find a way to support artists, but one that "relies on scarcity" in a way at least might get more people other than "obviously stupidly rich people with money to burn" involved.)

Rebecca, I enjoyed the article. Probably should’ve provided a less trite comment - but I figured this was the obvious. Sorry for forcing you to chime in on this, of all things.

Good luck on the talk and enjoy the conf.
Anyone that tailgates me on the Autobahn gets flipped off. I'd like them to explain how they were close enough to see that.
There is absolutely nothing that Japan could do.

Cutting oil from the ME would not be enough. China would ration oil and increase imports from Russia massively as well as reactivate domestic oil production, it would be great for the environment, China would carry on, and the US would make a lot of enemies.

The Spartans owned the helots!

I work for an Automotive OEM in Infotainment. The first question I get is “Do you get a free car?” And the second is “Car infotainment systems suck, why don’t you just switch to CarPlay?”
I suppose it depends how you look at it. There are different kinds of freedom. My main concern in the US is the absurd levels of incarceration over there, often for relatively trivial nonviolent offences that aren’t even crimes in many countries, and the politicisation of the judicial system. I’m a lot more confident I’d get fair treatment from the justice system in most European countries than I would in the US. The relationship between the police and the public in the states also seems dangerously adversarial and does not inspire me with confidence.
>> I'm no fan of the Chinese government, but trying to claim it is illegitimate seems a pretty big stretch.

Yes it is.

I recently had the pleasure of being in the Naval Museum in Cartagena. When the tour guide got to the section of the museum featuring Vernon's attempted takeover of the city, I was ecstatic. I was like, "I know about this! George Washington's brother fought in that battle!" Thanks to Mike I can be THAT guy on history tours now lol.
Look for a yoga class with power, core, ashtanga or vinyasa in the name. Avoid hatha.
Taiwan is the #1 foreign policy issue of China and maybe a top 3 long term goal - they consider it existential to their existence.

China is an ethnocentric state, they have long memories and they plan for things.

Xi is definitely more aggressive than the others, but China basically will be trying to 'get Taiwan back forever'.

Frankly, the 'long term solution' if Taiwan remains free, may be something like a 'One China' where Taiwan is actually completely independent. Maybe even Tibet and HK. That would probably only happen if China fell apart, there were wars, and we had this Peace Agreement where the world nominally recognized China as 'One Entity' even if they were actually completely different nation states. That is obviously not likely to happen but aside from a Chinese->Taiwan invasion I don't see how union happens.

The 'Taiwan Issue' is totally nonnegotiable to China, any attempt to bring the issue up in foreign policy discussions would have the Chinese Officials walk out in anger. As far as they are concerned 'Taiwan is China and There Is No Discussion' about it.
If the US or a European state signed a treaty with the UK under the conditions that the UK imposed on China, would you call for the US to be punished for breaking that treaty?
Not looking forward thanks
> I fear Taiwan will soon be conquered by China, not by force but suppression and economic ties.

A majority in Taiwan (two-thirds) are against unification, and that's hardended further after what's happened in HongKong. This is especially so among young people, who mostly also identify as being exclusively Taiwanese. Support for unification mostly comes from KMT, who are older and identify as Taiwanese and Chinese. As that generation fades away, these ratios will tilt even further.

For most young Taiwanese, Mainland China has nothing to offer for them to want unification.
ok make that 6 demands not one less.
It might be asserted that science-fiction plays much the same role as the Pan story - for adults as well. It imagines impossible things (beyond the reach of current science models at least) to deliver potential wonders that might be encountered.

I appreciated the Campbell quote in the article ... "I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive ... so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive." Campbell embraced Star Wars for this reason.

Life is a rare and brief thing - and to an extent, It (if not the universe) needs an audience to appreciate It. Woes and the rat-race and buying meaning from vending-machines are a cheezy substitute for 'Drinking life to the lees' as Omar so sagely puts it. More wing-suits please.

400k+ volunteer computers crack tough three-cubes problem
In any case, the treaty is broadly illegitimate as a colonial treaty nowadays.
My experience is that all my code gets thrown away or rewritten at some point. I've seen what code that doesn't get rewritten looks like; I'm intent on never inflicting anything like that on the world.

As far as types go, I've found that types actually help more during prototyping than later on. (At least for code I've written myself; types are great for helping me navigate other people's long-term codebases!)

Types give me a way to sketch out and iterate on an overall design without needing to implement anywhere near all the logic I'd need; then, when I start in on the logic, it naturally lays down on the skeleton the types provide. Compared to my experience with Python—where I still use some types!—I've found it easier to start and quickly try different designs in Haskell.

You are in for a treat. I've listened to the History of Rome several times, and it's fascinating each time. Enjoy!
> Which is more likely to affect any given individual?

That metric is hilariously wrong. Consider a country with universal healthcare, but where only a single political party is allowed. You're much more likely to face medical issues in your life, than wanting to start your own party and being prevented.

Does that make the one-party-state more free than every country without universal healthcare?

In other words, by phrasing it as "freedom to live in comfort and safety", you are conflating comfort and safety with freedom.
It's still a fact that in Germany you have to be careful how you express yourself. It was a total shock to me to arrive in the States and hear my cab driver unload on the US President at the time. He really wasn't choosing his words very carefully, to the point that I had to wonder if this was some kind of a test by the INS. I still chuckle today about how my views have changed since then, and how much more comfortable I am today with criticizing people, especially those in power.
> They’re relatively easy for most people to do

There were a few people in the video squatting with their knees way too forward rather than squatting like they're sitting down. It's a pretty common beginner mistake. I agree that they're easy enough--it's not like they're suggesting the snatch.
Perhaps there will be a game called "Software Engineer" where you learn to add small features, make commits, initiate code reviews, do code reviews, and so on. But there will be no more jobs for software engineers.

(Could actually be a useful training game. [Far future] enterprise unification territory.)
A Brief Introduction to F# for Object Oriented Developers
Not quite - the type constructor is the thing that does the same thing with the types themselves, not with Class (which is sort-of-but-not-really a way to represent types as values). In Java or C# there's no way to actually represent a type constructor (e.g. you can't have a class that takes a type parameter F that could be List or Set, and then you use that type to form F<String> within the class itself and it will be List<String> or Set<String> depending on whether you do new MyClass<List> or new MyClass<Set>), but other languages are more powerful in what they let you do with types. Look up "higher-kinded types" for the general concept.
The Mistake That Every TDD Tutorial Makes

The best mental state you can have is being able to tell all the truth and that still doesn't help an adversary to recover the data. That means keeping your key separate from your gray matter.

'They will always win in the East'?

The didn't win in Korea, they didn't win in Japan.

They didn't even win in Vietnam, the US completely destroyed N. Vietnam military machine ... and then left.

By the time the US actually left Vietnam there was very little fighting and no casualties. The US could have stayed.

Similarly in Afghanistan ... there were very few soldiers there, with a different Foreign Policy there's no reason to believe the US could have chosen to 'stay'.

There are still major bases in Korea, Japan and Germany, no reason not to keep a base in Afghanistan if they thought they wanted to.

Nukes in Taiwan would really upset China (a lot!) and throw a big wrench into everything, but it's a very legit threat, it would make direct assault really hard.

Certainly one 'Omega Weapon' would be a short range, small yield nuke that Taiwan could use against an invading maritime force. Scary, but real power.
The article fails to say just what the vaccine risk is, beyond the vague "heart problems." But "heart problems" associated with vaccines seems limited to minor temporary swelling easily treated with over-the-counter medications like Tylenol.

Is the article trying to equate this risk with the risk of hospitalization from covid?
There is zero possibility for Taiwan to domestically develop nukes and the ways to deliver them reliably without the Chinese figuring it out and shutting it down with massive prejudice.

To add, I suspect that the Haskell type notation is not intuitive to people not familiar with it. For anyone wondering, (a -> b) -> f a -> f b means "A function taking a function from one type to another "(a -> b)" and a functor applied with one type "(f a)" and returns a functor applied with another type "(f b)".
very helpful thank you.
I'd like to know all the faggots that have aids in my workplace so I don't contract it from them.
My theory is that anaerobic exercise, like squats, uses up ATP in the muscles. To replenish the ATP, muscle cells pull glucose from the bloodstream thus lowering your blood sugar level which leaves you feeling relaxed. If done prior to sleeping it can help you sleep through the night rather than wake up at 2am. There may be other benefits as well. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.

If you do incineration right (with pollution controls and energy recovery), simply burning it is more direct.

Gasification is a nice intermediate step if you need to mix it with syngas or natural gas to augment supplies, but if you really just are going to convert to electricity or heat eventually you may as well just do it in one centralized step.

Either way the plastic product is just one stop on the path from hydrocarbon to energy and CO2+H2O, but I do think centralized incineration is more practical (especially since it's already done all over the place) with little real downside.

Just assume as a rough estimate that the gas you'd get from gasification is displacing natural gas production. If you just burn the plastic (and other trash) in a way that prevents serious pollution from getting into the air it's bound to be more efficient to do that and then just burn less natural gas -- versus trying to turn what is essentially already fuel into natural gas substitute.

I think what they actually want is: if it is x86, it needs to be a core. Currently most people are quite happy with 20 years of already having ARM as a core (SoC, FPGA, etc.)!
All you need to do is to ensure that there's not only the two halves involved. As long as some substantial mass escapes completely, it basically doesn't matter if the rest is split or not - conservation of momentum guarantees a substantial change in trajectory (at least relative to the accuracy requirements for Earth impact).
It can only be called a coup if it's successful in actually changing the government. If it's not, you can argue endlessly (as in the Jan. 6 case) if it qualifies as an "attempted coup" (which implies that it had a remote chance of succeeding).
Depends what you mean by "production". There are some boutique manufacturers like Pininfarina and Rimac producing hypercars with like 2000 horsepower, but they are essentially made by hand in runs that only amount in the couple hundreds
> Seems like it would be better just convincing everyone to use the English versions of everything since those are perfect and the majority of the world knows it now.

There are lots of e.g. elderly and less educated people in non-English speaking countries who don't speak or understand much English, at least not enough to be comfortable. You don't even have to go further than Europe for that. The aging might not be a key target audience for many apps and it might make business sense to not bother with translation, but there's a significant number of people who might be excluded by that, and it would be difficult to accept that as a solution at least for the most commonly needed apps.

It also seems a little presumptuous that English should be pushed as a general solution to everyone in the first place, but you don't even have to go there before you get into practical problems.
If the one-party-ness doesn't actually affect anyone living there, then yes. Most of us would say that the problems with one-party states are not limited to the tiny minority of people who would want to start a new political party, but also has a large effect on people who disagree with government policies but have no representation.
You can just start out where lots of folks start out: Do the basics by following along with videos from established and accessible instructors (e.g. Rodney Yee, Seane Corn). These are folks from the DVD era that are still active. Pleasantly, Yoga is a relatively established practice with minimal churn/disruption to the state of the art.

Yoga is great for core strength, getting rid of back soreness, and gently improving flexibility.

You'll also learn about your own body and develop greater self awareness when moving. Just take care that, though the risk is lower, you can still injure yourself by overdoing it. Listen to your body along the way.
And be very very wary of people and groups that try to erase the difference.
I disagree with doing a crossword puzzle (or other mentally stimulating activity) mid-squat if you're working with any interesting amount of weight. Once you're at a weight that's challenging, things get potentially dangerous, and the last thing you want to be thinking about is what's a four letter word for a small quantity of whiskey.
