I'm happy the author wrote this blog post, it very much reflects my take on FP.

And if I had to keep one sentence from it: mutable states are very useful.

FP addicts consider mutable states to be something to be banished at all cost, much like a generation of 70's academics tried to do away with goto's.

The fact is, there are lots of situations in the real world where using mutable state variable is the very best way to model the problem:

- easier to understand

- faster to execute

The same holds for goto's btw.
I think that's excellent and I wish Cory the best. Cragislist is another example I can think of where a company just set out to be small and charge what it needed to make its small employee-base comfortable, not dominate the world.

... but then I'm out of names, is my point. Most companies don't go this road. Perhaps that's because going the other road gathers enough resources to be big enough to make all the headlines, so we don't hear about the others.
I have yet to see an actual explanation for where the real money/value comes from in those crypto/NFT games.
They all seems to be based on hype and look very much like a scam.
Just post the list here to get the ball rolling?
They won't get broken up because western govs want to compete with China and have similar control while still being able to fly under the freedom flag. FB is a virtual China, "soft authoritarianism" basically.
Life has no value for you? Plants aren't inert and defend themselves from harm.

Given enough reason it's legal to kill humans too. Sometimes it's mandatory, e.g. at war, when utility of murder is more important than their inherent moral value.
Why don't people just take angiotensin receptor blockers or ACE2 inhibitors? I recall studies showing benefits for people who are on BP lowering meds from the categories above.
Looks like it's not out of the box, might be why you hadn't heard of it. Having trouble finding the name of the plugin.

Its not necessarily smart, these people will go on to impose large welfare, pension, healthcare burdens on the host society.

Its easy for the French political elite to sign laws like this, but the social and economic burden of these decisions are borne by the lower classes.

Its much more likely that this is a decision to add an extra 12,000 Macron voters to the rolls.
Can you not plug the flat with one of these? Does the foam prevent it from working?

The Python Software Foundation has also been addressing this issue recently.

This year they changed their bylaws to say that no more than a quarter of the directors may share an affiliation.

(As far as I can make out, previously they just said that directors had to make their affiliation publicly known.)
I think the big difficulty in trying to bake the functional cake is that the author tried to name every step, when he didn't do this for the imperative cake.
Ultimately there is no such thing as driver protections. Either they bring in more money than they are paid or they are going to be out of work (either by being fired, or the company going under).

A company isn't going to let people just do whatever if the company is assuming risks. For example, say demand peaks at 7-9am and 4-6pm. The company could simply dictate that that's the only times you can work (because the full time old-timer high earners already took all other time slots). But maybe you're a stay-at-home parent and only have free time during school hours, so for you, that's objectively a worse deal, since you get to take home $0 as opposed to whatever you could make under a work-at-any-time model.

Or maybe the company tells you that you can't work on-and-off around your town like you used to, due to existing driver saturation, and they tell you that you have to drive to the downtown of the nearby metropolitan city for a shift (many full time drivers I've talked to actually do this today to get better on-the-clock volume).

Or maybe you just can't work at all because there's enough drivers on the road today already.

There's a million scenarios like these.

As a thought exercise, you could go out and drive an Uber casually for a couple of hours, and simultaneously pay yourself whatever amount you think is fair, out of your own pocket. The gist is to track your on-the-clock time and mileage (which is fairly easy w/ the app), and then work out the math to figure out how much the rides should've cost to pay the amount you decided. If the exercise comes out to charging $40 for 10 min rides to account for suboptimal downtime, or you're finding that you need to work a 12 hour day to hit a similar income threshold as a full timer elsewhere, you can be sure that you've neglected some important aspect of the unit economics math and you would've failed at being Uber.
As a cynic, I see this as a message to the healthcare workers that are unwilling to get vaccinated: you are replaceable, there are plenty of people waiting at our doors to take your jobs.
It looks like your mix didn't complete. I got an error "Sorry there was an error while building your mix"

For so long, I wanted to Mix "gnarls barkley: crazy" with "X-Press 2 Ft. David Byrne:Lazy". I made a poor attempt after hearing about "spleeter" [0] and FL Studio.

This wasnt what I had hoped for, but its also not bad (certainly better than what I could do)

Edit: 2 things I've noticed
1) The order you add the songs is important, it looks like the 1st track choosen is more dominant.
2) If it fails to mix, try a different (less mainstream) copy of the song (i.e. not from vevo or one of them, but some random youtuber that uploaded)
Well, let me engage with asking more questions. Would you be ok with killing another human to consume in a non-emergency scenario? If yes, then I understand your confusion. If not, then why not? Is it legal repercussions? Do you worry that you may upset the people who care about them? Is it just an ingrained idea that eating human bad, but eating animal good? Why is eating a human different than eating another animal?

Alternative question around a similar idea: does picking asparagus or cutting down a tree give similar feelings as gutting an animal for meat?
FWIW, the Project Rho page I linked to also gives the derivation of the relativistic rocket equation. When I plugged in numbers, assuming an exhaust velocity of the speed of light (ie. impossibly high), I get a mass fraction of about 2,000,000 to reach top speed. Then another 2,000,000 to slow down.

Assuming the fully loaded RV weighs 5 tons, this means at max velocity the rest of the ship weighs 10 megatons, which is 10M cubic meters of water, or a cube 200m on each side.

That sounds like plenty of material, right?

The same Project Rho page links to https://arxiv.org/ftp/physics/papers/0610/0610030.pdf which calculates that at the relatively slow 0.995c "the penetration depth of protons of this energy will be ~40 m in water and ~10 m in titanium".

For 99.99999999993978% c, even 10M cubic meters isn't going to be enough.
Even if the Amazon battle is won it's nothing more than a drain against the seemingly futile war against iron oxide.
Large organizations are full processes for balancing power between internal groups. As Rust Foundation, Amazon, and other companies become more involved, friction will happen more frequently. The Rust Foundation will need processes for balancing power between the companies and various groups inside the companies.

PR pieces are usually full of deception. I expect that Rust Foundation will end up with a process for approving Rust-related PR from supporting organizations. They will pay someone to do that work.

So far, Rust has been run by people who behave reasonably. I'm confident that they will resolve this issue. They will resolve it with open discussion, expressing and acknowledging different opinions and needs, explaining tradeoffs, and progressing steadily to consensus.

Here's a great talk by previous Rust head Ashley Williams about Rust's decision-making process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLstJFvdl4s&t=1808s

>Getting a pet to do those sorts of behaviors usually takes treats and a lot of time.

I have a 20 week old shiba inu (regarded as one of the most intelligent - and stubborn - breeds) and he figured out his crate's latch weeks ago. Problem is he just can't open it from the inside, but if he really wants out he will use his tongue on the latch from the inside and try for several minutes to flip it over and move it. Fortunately he's just barely not capable of actually getting it done.
The worry is that "If my livelihood, and that of those whom I work with every day, were in jeopardy, I would be tempted to use my authority for the good of my company over the good of the broader user base."

Which... I find it hard to imagine a random selection of individuals, the majority of which wouldn't be susceptible to that. Everyone has to eat, and there are always catastrophes in business eventually.
I have raised chickens many times. They are dumb as hell.
Solid analysis, and a great read. I'm happy you posted this, as I was disappointed by the other Apple v Epic article that was making its way around HN today [0]. This article is significantly more substantive IMO.

The author makes some wise predictions on Apple's response to the lawsuit. Particularly on whether Apple will appeal the injunction because it was based on the UCL, but the injunction applies nationwide. Though no matter what happens, I hope consumers and developers get a fair shake.

Well thank you for the clarification - I never knew of Medusa's origin just the later part of the myth.

I am still unsure how the name of the company relates though, and I would wager that most people only know the later part of the myth than the origins.
Me not understanding why that would be offensive is probably part of my autism spectrum disorder.
Uber isn't subverting the labor movement. It's a very small part of the overall economy. Go look at bigger industry practices to find the bad guys.

The Uber model will never translate to Retail, Tech, Banking, Finance, Healthcare.

It does translate to transportation, food and package delivery. Let the disruption make capitalism more efficient. Focus on areas where a balance is important, like making healthcare and college universally free.
I've found myself browsing the current events page every morning and I think I would prefer your method much more. As emerging stories are verified and context is added, I've found I'm revisiting the same pages over and over.

I'm going to set up a calendar event right now. Thanks!
That is what happens with electric cars, they are maintenance free, for most people.

That was the main reason car dealers did not want to touch an electric car, they make more than half of their income from the repair shop, and they know with electric cars that business is mostly gone.

New business will be created, though. Changing the batteries, balancing them when dead, putting a new technology when batteries improve,or improving the driving assistant will be necessary.
Surprisingly my rate was not effected (around $1200/yr), though I have been a customer for more than 20 years without a claim.
After reading Rust principles I'm confused why author is against entire idea of principles and equates them to Amazon principles.
I think even absurdly priced rides dont work beyond a certain level of illiquidity. Matching price to order is just too spotty. A perfect example is landing in an airport on a late flight -- i've waited 45min for a taxi at Delta Terminal in NYC. As a business customer, I would have paid $100 or even $200 for a ride that cold night. Most business travelers are cost elastic, esp post-travel. Except there is no way to broadcast that willingness to pay to cab companies, esp at an off-terminal like Delta Terminal. I dont think people realize how truly game-changing Uber and surge pricing was.
OpenMW (for TESIII:Morrowind) is amazing. Strictly an improvement on the original. Far more stable—I finished the main campaign and several major side quest trees with a bunch of mods active and experienced zero crashes, which is unheard of with the original engine—and somewhat better-looking. Runs just about everywhere. It's great.
The Ewoks were supposed to be wookies originally I heard somewhere. IMO would have fundamentally fixed the movie. Cutification was simply a money grab.
High Performance Organizations Reading List
My understanding so far is that OP runs a Postgres consulting firm [1], and it appears they took the liberty of registering a Postgres trademark for the class of "professional services" in order to (I presume) protect fair use by their firm and (they claim) others in the Postgres community. Some of this is admittedly speculation on my part, and I'm trying to take a charitable view of their actions to try to understand why a community member would do this.

That said I have no opinion on whether this action is net good for the community, and I'm not a Postgres user so I have no horse in this race. It's just the social dynamics of this situation that are interesting to me.

They will get regulated by governments though, there is no reason those companies should have that kind of power.
Windows 10 reinstalled "Candy Crush Soda Saga" on my machine multiple times during updates, so it's absolutely not just first-party software like Edge and Teams that they've pushed.
Except engine oil changes, of course. But those take 10 minutes and $50/year.
> For most of 2020 / 2021 `wasm-pack` was not updated with pull requests and security fixes because Ashley did not transfer publish rights.

There is an easy and appropriate response to this - just fork() the project under a new name. There's nothing wrong with this, especially when the maintainer doesn't respond to community inquiries. People in the open source community are generally volunteers, so we shouldn't expect or require them to "speak up" if it can be avoided.
I think there's a non-negligible amount of people who thought or convinced themselves they bought something other than a luxury car. Once you see things through the luxury car perspective all the odd things Tesla does make sense, like overpriced repairs and software locking.
Was Uber ever actually ridesharing platform that is way to find someone going from near location to an other location for singular shared trip?

I've read through the comments in this thread, the linked Twitter thread, and the article linked by the top tweet, and I'm still confused. What is Amazon doing to define Rust here? I worked at Amazon, I do not hold a positive opinion about the company/working there, but I do not see what they have done that is remotely harmful or aggressive. Can someone spell that out for me?

I don't know if there's a pre-existing site that will do it, but you could do this with FFmpeg and therefore FFmpeg.wasm. A brief search [1] indicates that it would likely be about the combination of the right filters. Ostensibly, you could put those filter options into the FFmpeg.wasm demo app [2] (scroll down) and get your video out.

I mean if there was a critical bug in the solidity compiler itself that would put the correctness of pretty much every contract into question, right? It seems like a fork would be hard to argue against in that case.
It's impressive to have people say that Lisp is "downright ugly" and Haskell is "freaking unapproachable and the syntax is weird" on an article that includes C++ templates. It's not the "aesthetics" that matters, it's the popularity and what you're used to. Part of the reason why Rust is popular is that they didn't break too much people's habit, and even with that it constantly gets flak for its syntax.

We disagree on the numbers that represent a death sentence. The numbers are objective. Your risk assessment is subjective.

It is interesting. However, SAFe tried incorporating UML without much success. Depending on your PoV the problem is with SAFe or with UML.

I have a theory that API sandboxes are the most practical place to expose architecture to non-technical project participants. I have tried that in roles that overlap with product management. It may be fairly widely applicable.
Sherman should have continued marching through the south for several years completely displacing all of the traitors who have become the Republican Party today. Then we could have public health.
I think you underestimate the number of jumps the size of "pre-Jukebox best to Jukebox" that are required to get from Jukebox to Mozart.
(2) No, dependent types are not the same as overloading. Basically it's when the type depends on the values; so like having a type for odd numbers or having an array that knows its length at compile time (for example to avoid array out of bounds exceptions at compile time)
Holding (what is perceived to be) too much control over core roles of the project.

I've always thought Germany's energy prices were by design - I think it's a round about way of engaging in financial repression. Germany is an exporting country and reducing domestic consumption helps with that strategy.
there's the plant-based stuff and there's the stuff that's genetically indistinguishable from meat. the plant-based stuff is available right now, the genetic meat stuff is not available for ordinary consumption because it's too expensive and there's a few material hurdles
One of the more mindbending things to wrap your head around is that gravity isn't a force (i.e doesn't not cause acceleration in the F=Ma sense.). You're simply on a path through spacetime warped by gravity.

Think about it: when you are in free fall you feel 0 acceleration. You appear to be accelerating relative to the ground-- but you're actually motionless in an "inertial reference frame". (Similar to how the astronauts on the ISS don't "feel" acceleration despite accelerating rapidly relative to the earth.)

The "force" of gravity is often modeled as "gravity pulling you down" and the ground "pushing you back up". This works mathematically, but isn't quite logically consistent.

In reality, on the ground you're in a region of warped spacetime, so you feel constant upward acceleration despite not actually accelerating. (Thinking of this another way, standing on earth feels identical to being in a far away spaceship accelerating at 9.8 m/s².)

This is also why time "speeds up" near more massive objects. (Separate from "acceleration".)

We're so used to gravity this it doesn't seem weird. But when you consider the fact free-fall is when you're not accelerating... well pondering that from many angles is what ultimately led Einstein to his model of relativity.

(This is me trying to condense what could be a 10 minute explanation into a few sentences, so apologies if it's not particularly clear.)
The reason it takes treats and lots of time usually is because usually we have to create motivation because they simply don’t want to do what we’re asking them to. If it’s something they want, like escaping a cage, they will figure it out if it’s possible just by watching how we open it.
I used to follow @steveklabnik, he retweets left wing activism twice as much as he tweets about Rust. I'd assume he's coming into the conversation with unconditional hatred for Amazon.

I only have a dozen hours of experience working with Rust, and so far I loved it. However I also know that many of the minds that designed and built the language just aren't there anymore. From what I picked up "async/await" is one of the latest features added to Rust in late 2019 and it seems to be universally agreed as rushed and not-so-good language design.

Everyone speaks of Rust with such high regards yet Mozilla somehow decided to lay off its entire team mid 2020.

From my point of view Rust as a whole is great today but it increasingly feels like its potential has plateaued and there's not much creative work left to do with it, from here on out it's all IDE support, maintenance and performance enhancements. I don't see what's wrong with letting Amazon take care of those things.

You're making "consuming meat" equivalent to "consuming factory farmed meat". I agree with you on the horrors of factory farms, but farms like mine (https://mulligan.farm), wherein we raise our chickens on pasture, require vastly less pharmaceuticals (other than their Marek's disease leaky vaccine they get at birth, our chickens need no more antibiotics than simple sunlight and fresh air) than factory farmed meat.

In the 50s, Americans on average spent ~20% of their budgets on food and 10% on healthcare. Today, it's about 18% on healthcare and 9% on food. If we swapped back to the model from the 50s, wherein our food was a bigger proportion of the budget and we were less fat and unhealthy as a result, we could easily have, say, 10,000 small farms supplying healthy, environmentally-sane, meat to local communities, rather than a concentrated agribusiness selling gross, tortured flesh to the entire country.
I could beat CnC2 and RA2 clean, but with CnC1 I could only get past IIRC about the half-way point by abusing sandbags. It seemed completely hopeless, otherwise.
Don't forget the rocketeers. I usually produce a 2:1 combination of riflemen and rocketeers (spamming if eco allows it), and support it with tanks and arty/v2.

I rarely found occasion to use thieves, usually as raid into their ore patches to steal harvesters or as stationary vision-givers since they can cloak themselves.
I'm also from Canada. We pay the same amount despite the fact that we are in mid-pandemic. Therefore resources are allotted to dealing with the large number of Covid cases that end up in ICU.

This isn't a case of being "short changed" with our taxes. This is a case of large groups of people needlessly filling the emergency wards when there are clearer options that are easier on the population as a whole.
I was never much for cheese when I played that game as a kid but I'm pretty sure I got S ranks on most things without it.

Advance Wars was a single player game (more or less). Fighting an overpowered foe and beating them with your brain was the whole appeal of a strategy game. Overcoming horrible odds was the point, both gameplay wise and narrative wise in pretty much every mission. It was super fun. The secret of strategy games is that they're much more fun this way. Focusing on multiplayer is what drained the RTS genre of its appeal.
