MSDN was great, Docs is not. There are still lots of inexplicable errors from the migration of content, and they seem content to outsource the labour of finding and fixing them --- errors they themselves created --- to the "community".
> Why should the database be the input sanitizer, though?

More in the realm of traditional business IT than what HN is focused on, the database is often the point of integration between several different systems, with views and triggers providing the means of abstraction at the interface boundry.

Of course ideally all such systems would only ever profer perfectly valid data, but in practice ...
ATMs are still using windows, because they are old. A lot of them have CRT screens.

If they would switch to a new hardware platform, I’m quite sure nobody would ever pick Windows again.

So maybe they will still do clones of the existing ones (on standard x86 hardware). But then they don‘t need new chips.

It's like how at one time, "0" was not yet invented and had to be invented and explained, and it was a revolution for math. It's a quantity just like 5 or 244, but for when the amount happens to be none.

We need that again, another new 0 concept to add to 0, to distinguish between "set-to-0" and "not-yet-set".

Maybe 2 new concepts, since null is also different from 0. 0 is a value, null is the absense of a value.

Not just as an idiom or implementation detail in a programming language, but as a general concept that may be used anywhere in life.

Without it, we have exactly these confusions and ambiguities and differences of opinion about how to do something or what something means or what something should mean.

Your complete chat history with everyone on WhatsApp, to date, has been provided in basically unencrypted form to Apple and Google by your conversation partners, which means that it is available on demand and without a warrant to US federal authorities via FAA Section 702 (commonly known as PRISM, or FISA).

This means that even if you stop using it today, there is a huge wealth of information about your habits, travel, personal identifiers, social graph, location history, and personal thoughts and opinions that will be permanently stored associated with your name.

Enabling e2e on backups won't purge this information, especially if it has already been downloaded by USG from Apple/Google.

If you want to mitigate this, you basically have to move, replace all your friends/contacts, never go back to the same venues/restaurants/cities, et c, because your existing pattern of life is already archived.

Once again, that's not what I asking or talking about.

If you write 2 + 2 ~ 5, all types will be correct (Int), but the function will be incorrect.

So the question is: now you've coded significantly more difficult logic than adding two Ints together with types. How will you test that logic?
Plus how would they even enforce this? If the company in question isn't in Texas how could they possibly compel a company outside of Texas' jurisdiction to comply?
This is poor advise.

It's a good rule of thumb to KISS (keep it short and simple), but it doesn't translate from one short and simplified example to each sentence of a longer text, because sentences aren't wholly individual. Sentences need to work together, in conjunction, because the information content requires a reasonable amount of structural complexity to support the content. Adverbs are very good at that.

I am absoluty not familiar with typed syntax theories or anything really, but I dare say the adverb in the previous sentence modifies at that. At least the parameter is bracketed nicely. Were I to say otherwise that Adverbs are good, it would not be any better now would it? Because the adverb introduces an adverbial clause that modifies the whole preceding text, that is referenced by "at that" in a manner of, err, a fix-point y-combinator!?

On the other hand I am a foreign speaker without good judgement. Consider that good (or happy) itself may be adverbial, Adverbs well support the support.

Good to know: Repition and redundancy can be quite beneficial, and sometimes it's impossible to avoid.

Anyway, kitchen philosophy says that early optimization is the source of all evil (Hoare apud Knuth).

Edit: Another problem of structural support is punctuation
Twitter threads that are an expert deep dive into some historical event/story, a law, a court case, a mathematical theory, etc are some of my favorite kinds of writing to read.

As a dev, StoreKit sucks. StoreKit 2 basically fixes all the development pain points, but is iOS 15+ only so basically unusable for everyone until late next year. Payment models are limited to basically paid, free + IAP, free + subscription. No real trials, no paid upgrades, no configurable subscriptions (IE pay for 1-X seats.) That leads to things like Twitter's setup where every plus account has an individual subscription SKU.

On the code side you have to run your own backend purchase server because there is a ton of subscription information that is only relayed to the server (Cancellations, upgrades, downgrades, cross grades, billing problems, etc.), as the app has no way to know directly (Until SK2.) Services like RevenueCat help small devs deal with this, but then you have another cut out of your paycheck.

Things like price testing require more backend setup because Apple offers no way for an app to grab product information from themselves (You have to know every identifier, there is no way to just request "all available IAPs" via StoreKit.)

So basically, there is a ton of room for improvement on the dev side, and a lot of easy wins for someone like Stripe to capitalize on.

As a user, I don't have many complaints, other than not having an easy way to request a refund, other than finding the App Store email address and pleading your case. It should be something you can do via your purchases screen directly. As a dev, not being able to issue customer refunds sucks, as many users will think you are dismissing them by saying, "You've got to ask apple for a refund."

In your model, a psychologist does these things in this sequence:

1. Choose a question to investigate.

2. Get some results.

3. Compute p < 0.03.

4. Toss the paper in the trash, because p < 0.03 isn't good enough.

But that's not how they operate. The reason there's a spike at 0.05 is that that's what everyone cares about. If you get p < 0.03, you're doing better than that!

So the bias in favor of even lower p-values is coming from somewhere else. It definitely is not coming from the decision point of "OK, I've done the research, but do I publish it?".

With Microsoft, generally the documentation around the edges isn't great. The edges being the "Microsoft condoned solutions and generally anything coming from the Office/Enterprise side. On the Enterprise side they often have fantastic documentation but they have an amazing talent for making it unfindable.

It's like they hire an army of noob-level interns who churn out "getting started" articles, with the end result being that you have to dig 5 pages deep into Google result to get meaningful documentation (4 of those pages are of people asking questions on Microsoft Connect or the-site-that-shall-not-be-named or something).
I'm a business guy, but I have also coded a few mvp's including a deep and complicated algorithm in Python. In my social and professional surrounding I'm considered a tech expert, but I'm very well aware I'm not even near that, and consider myself an amateur - particularly here on HN. What you are describing seems like a dream to me, a good one, but it's obvious you think otherwise. Mind you telling me why? In my experience I have never worked with passionate programmers, they all see it as a job to get done and if you want intelligence and depth that's on you. I don't have such a vast experience hiring or working with professional programmers, but I have some and it has been consistent in what I'm telling you. Most of them were assembly-line style programmers, specializing in one or two things (meaning they learn how to replicate the work needed). And I would have a really hard time if I needed elite programmers for these tasks, and also no money to pay for it. The way I see it, making all the programming easy should be a net benefit for (almost) everybody, particularly in a stage when it gets so complicated to do simple stuff like making a website. To be honest, I've been around a lot and I have never really met an elite programmer irl. I have met a lot of dedicated and smart people, yes, and also good hackers, but not really passionate experts. I also live in Brazil, if it matters.

For me personally, it's decreased general trust. I don't see the establishment as having a lot of credibility at this point.

Bad smells that make me distrust:
Changing definitions of the word vaccine, so that the Covid 19 injections can be considered a vaccine. It becoming impermissible to question the vaccine. If you tell me there isn't room to doubt, then my response to you is bullshit. I've been a skeptic my entire life, and it has served me well. If I'm wrong this time and I die because of it, so be it.
Sounds like they were caught red handed, mens rea and all. Any chance this ends up with serious repercussions like prison time?
While PCI is its own bag of worms, part of the certification process is to describe the architecture to an outside auditor. It's annoying and companies can (and will) complain all they want, but without meeting that requirement, the company can't say they're PCI compliance. Which they want to be. So they meet that requirement.
With the delta variant, experts believe we need 90% vaccinations to achieve herd immunity. Iceland is at 72.8%.

There is every reason to believe that the vaccine would stop the transmission once enough people had the vaccine.

Not just more general feedback, but honest feedback.

Whether acknowledged or not, there is a power discrepancy between executives (especially C-suite execs) and everyone else. That discrepancy means that executives can't expect to get the real picture by relying on workers to tell them.
The CDC also has numbers on that: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccination-trends

I wouldnt fear too much about the last 25% of vaccinations. Keep in mind that post infection immunity is also quite good and the CDC estimates that 30+% of the population has been infected at this point.
Here's my system, when I want to know something forever:

1. Get a good article or book about the topic. Not a video.

2. Read it multiple times. Each time, highlight and leave notes in the margins. By the third read-through, there's usually nothing more to comment on. (I can't do this with videos.)

3. Turn those notes into new Anki (spaced repetition software) cards that go into the unseen pile.

4. Every day, Anki adds ten cards from the unseen pile to the cards I'm reviewing.

I've been doing this for twelve years, and it works very well for me.
Platers – Homemade Food Marketplace
Platers is a homemade food sharing platform/marketplace with full delivery service.

Our start-up enables any home-based food entrepreneurs to start selling food (legal food) from home and earn.

Our goal is to reduce food waste while re-inventing the dining experience for the better. Passionate cooks provide authentic dishes cooked in their own kitchen. Providing locally made home cooked food in cities across the world.

With zero start-up costs, Platers gives talented cooks the chance to show off their cooking skills and special dishes straight from their own kitchen. At the same time, opening a new avenue that’s different from traditional take out.

At Platers, Safety is our number one priority. As part of our vetting process, all potential cooks are required to go through an extensive Identification Process. Cooks are required to provide government issued identification and have their identification verified. They are also assessed on their cooking experience, motivation for cooking with Platers, and community involvement. This helps us ensure that all of our cooks will provide customers with an exceptional experience.
Thank you :)

None? If the idea is that the US would have been invaded by the Axis seems unlikely, as all of their goals were fairly localized to each of Germany, Italy, and Japan. I don't think the Quirin Gang confounds this speculation, but of course anything is possible when imagining alternate futures of the past. ;)

Yeah, apparently!
> I've never seen a type with multiple monad instances but I don't know if there could be one.

There can, it's just like there can two monoid structures on the same set. In fact if you have an example of a set S which has two monoid structures, you have an example of a functor with two monad structures: _ × S. join multiplies the two elements of S, so you get a different monad structure for every monoid structure on S.

I often wish there was better trip/adventure planning software for the things I want to do for the next three years. Many things are cyclical (annual), or seasonal, or when I’m in certain places (I have lists for when I’m in LA, or Berlin). Keeping track of all the opportunities I care about along those 3 criteria is a lot of manual work right now.

I do miss old school Foursquare, only somewhat apropos.
A few news sites do that, like Business Insider, and I think it's a great idea. They should also give tables of data in a standard format instead of saying 4/13ths of people agreed that is was likely or very likely, but only 20 disagreed.

Microsoft is a complex and big entity. While most of it is doing a bad job whatever it is, some parts are quite good.
