But the choice isn’t between Haskell and C++, the choice is between Haskell and any other language. I agree that C++ is a bloated, error-prone nightmare, and I avoid it for that reason. There are plenty of languages that are widely considered easy to learn/use (python, Java, JavaScript).

One of the big reasons that Haskell is hard to learn is because it is purely functional. Writing idiomatic Haskell is dramatically different from traditional imperative C-like languages.

Just to give an example - a few years ago I was taking an AI class which used Common Lisp (a functional language, but not purely functional). The first few tests/projects which required functional lisp programs led many of my peers to drop the class.

I think part of this is because my school, like most, started students off with an imperative/procedural language (C++). If you have a clean slate (e.g. someone with zero programming knowledge) it’s probably just as easy to teach them Haskell as it is C++ or Java.

Functional programming is great, and I love it, but many programmers don’t even have a firm grasp on recursion which makes pure languages like Haskell like a mountain to climb.
If the only ethical way to engage with modern consumer tech is to do a full analysis of the positives and negatives of every aspect of it (which is a position I think has some merit), then the only reasonable conclusion is to simply avoid all of it, because it's all corrupted, at some point or some level, by something someone will find distasteful or worse.

I honestly haven't delved deeply into the list of domains each registrar has removed, decided if I agree or disagree with it, sat down to evaluate the severity of each violation, etc. And I fundamentally don't want to, either.

If you've got a better domain registrar suggestion that isn't full on "bulletproof hosting Bitcoin only" stuff ending in .ru, I'm open to it, but... otherwise, at the end of the day, my goal is to register a domain.

Though, don't get me wrong, I'm seriously considering ending my entire involvement in modern consumer tech and going back to a 1900s tech level once I retire...

Your assumption is doing most of the work here.

In my opinion, anything that creates a profit motive for imprisonment and recidivism is an incentive recipe for disaster. So even if justly incarcerated I would probably say no?

But regardless, I don't think assuming just incarceration in China is a great idea.

"Forced Labor
The PRC government has pressured large numbers of
Uyghurs, including former detainees, into accepting
employment in the formal workforce, particularly in the
textile, apparel, agricultural, consumer electronics, and
other labor-intensive industries, in Xinjiang and other
provinces. Uyghurs who refuse to accept such employment
may be threatened with detention. Some factories utilizing
Uyghur labor reportedly are tied to global supply chains.
Factory employment often involves heavy surveillance and
political indoctrination of Uyghurs."

A large part of the reason those developers can exist independently is because they can target every DAW. So either you will have to hire them all or find new specialists, or develop that specialization yourself.

Even in the case of developers only targeting one DAW (Pro Tools), at least one company (AIR music) saw that it was worth the extra effort to release its products in other plugin formats like VST.

Honestly, I would not like to see new developers trying to oust the plugin standard. It's one of those quirks about music software that exists for very good reason.

Ask HN: Offer YC jobs APIs like Getro
As a seed round investor focused on YC startups, We are keen to list all jobs available at our portfolio startups, like SV Angel does - https://jobs.svangel.com/

However, it makes no sense to pay Getro $$$$ to do that since we have more than 100 YC startups under portfolio.

https://www.ycombinator.com/jobs/

Y Combinator Jobs is great for employees - They can apply thousands of startup jobs with a single profile.

How about investors? May you offer Jobs APIs so investors can list all jobs of portfolio startups at their websites? Thanks.

I think you might be right, but on the topic - two things: to those who would downvote me when this is unexplained - your behaviour is silly. If I am wrong, please explain.

Second, to have opaque ajudication on things is not in the best interest of this community. Posts that are penalized in this manner should have a post indicating as such.
I don't understand why you are saying that either, please explain. Nobody needs to work for just one, as any code can be linked into any number of DAWs.
From a CNN article:

>"There is "zero pressure" for the project to make money, Lamm said. He is banking on the endeavor resulting in innovations that have applications in biotechnology and health care. He compared it to how the Apollo project got people caring about space exploration but also resulted in a lot of incredible technology, including GPS.

> So why do they exist, why are they sticky and so apparently unsolvable?

Warfare and inept or corrupt government are the primary reasons. E.g. deliberate starvation as seen in the Ethiopia-Tigray conflict, and isolationism as seen in North Korea.

> Desalination is prohibitively energy-intensive. More so in a world of shrinking resources.

Israel produces the majority of its domestic water through desalination [1]. This is but one of several ways of improving water supply, others include wastewater reclamation or building new aqueducts.

> You're arguing for precisely why these shortages are a problem but you think you're arguing against their existence. A "shortage" is not simply a hard supply number -- it's also defined by how well the supply is utilized. And the problem is precisely that humans are, and will presumably continue to be, selfish and horrible at using even sufficient or even surplus supplies. So why in the world would anyone think that we'll adequately deal with actually shortages?

However bad you believe our utilization to be, the end result is still cutting world hunger by a third over the last 20 years. And more than halved since 1970. In developed countries, the percentage of land used for agriculture is often declining [2]. I think you're missing the forest for the trees: the reduction in arable land caused by climate change is more than offset by the greater yields delivered by industrialized agriculture, and the assumption that there will be a shortage in staple goods will not hold true.

The researchers are emphatic that it shouldn't be framed as a solution, but all of the concerns mentioned in the article (and elsewhere that I've seen) are about potential side effects or moral hazards. There doesn't seem to be any dispute that solar geoengineering could be implemented and would rapidly reduce global temperatures.

Probably not any reason to. They already had access to other good oils that could be made for far less energy cost than having to raise a cow, milk it, turn the milk to butter, then clarify it.
Safe lanes are just one part of the problem. If we target to have people do 60% of their trips on bikes, there are questions like, where do you park the bike so that it doesn't get stolen? (i'm having a bicycle stolen in my family pretty much every year for the last 5 years) What do you do if you don't want to be sweaty? (yes, it's a thing!) and/or have to change into nicer clothes. Or what do you do if you are running late and 6 miles can be covered in 5 minutes instead of 30 minutes? What if you have to get a bunch of groceries or have to get from work to kindergarten to pick up two kids? Yes, sounds boring, but these are real-life questions.
Developers can certainly be guilty of doing refactoring that's just churn when the current code is actually fine, and that may partly be because they too have to justify their existence. The difference is that code churn and framework churn are less directly harmful to end users than design churn (because they don't mess with the end user's workflow so much).
I’ve also tried the morning/evening routine. It felt too stiff for me. Now I just write what happened during the day and how I feel about it. I write it in English for practice. It’s like letting go of the day’s emotional charge.
> building weird hierarchies

There's a certain kind of personality that really gets into that (the 'architecture astronaut'), specifically because it is counterintuitive and they like convoluted things. I think the idea that really gets them going is "look, it knows to XYZ itself!"

I do scientific programming, and most of the time, functional style makes way more sense. Doesn't stop someone with the OOP bug from turning all the logic inside out and making a brittle mess, though.
>he was batshit insane and probably a failure by the standards of modern productivity gurus

Newton was notoriously involved with the Royal Mint (for decades, I think) and efforts to maintain sound coinage, and it's conspicuously left out of your list of odd things he did.

It isn't exactly about "productivity", but your overall tone seems like you're presenting him as unsullied by capitalism, finance, "bean counters", and other mundane things.

https://blog.sciencemuseum.org.uk/isaac-newton-and-the-royal...

Actually, reading some of this sounds like Newton may have had some good insights into management for productivity:

"he encouraged the Mint’s engravers who were responsible for engraving coin designs on to the master punches (the tools used to make the coins) to take on private work outside of their contracted working hours. Newton recognised that this would enable them to improve their skills, making their engraved designs of a much higher quality and thus more difficult to replicate by the counterfeiters."

I think you could spin him as an icon of productivity, an early forerunner, if you so desired.
Taking a medication as a condition of maintaining basic human rights, or merely existing is a long bridge to cross. This bears no equivalency to a seat belt.

We know the shots don’t prevent spread, nor prevent you from getting it, the only argument is it lessens severity of symptoms, yet many are dying after the shots anyways and being hospitalized.

So you are basically arguing they I need to take a medicine that supposedly reduces symptoms, although in practice it isn’t showing that effect, but carries other potential negative health effects unique to the shot itself.

A more analogous car argument is that I would be required by law to pick up random hitch hikers everyday and drive them to their destination as a condition of owning and driving a vehicle, especially if we are working off the public good argument. If I refuse, I lose the car. Most likely 98% of those hitch hikers won’t chop me up into little pieces in the middle of the desert, but there is always that one...

An overweight vegetarian has lower environmental impact that an average weight meat eater.

Basic math, friend.
Please hestitate after providing your sources.
The idea that only "big" impact is worthwhile is a huge part of the problem. Software and the global internet has made it possible to scale everything at ridiculous speed with tiny overhead. This has set the standard for success very high, but has some perverse effects. For instance, smart people flocking to finance and ad-tech because it's easier to make money there simply by proximity and complexity to mask what you're doing.

I'd argue we need a fundamental shift in our economy and regulation to incentivize diversity.
That's a sort of outdated view on startups IME. Unless you're talking about the FAANG types (which, IMO, shouldn't be called startups anymore) I've found that many small startups are embracing a healthy work-life balance. I switched from a small startup working on an early-stage SaaS to a mature big tech company and my wlb got worse.

I think the reason is that small startups can't always compete on salaries, so they have to make up for it by giving you something else in return. The market is full of extremely talented people leaving big tech because they're unhappy with the wlb, or want full-time remote or so on, so it turns out to be a win-win for startups and engineers. Big Tech will continue to get meat for the grinder by their sheer reputation, so they can expect you to dedicate your life to them if you want to stay.

You talk about an event that occurred over 12 hours uniting the country for a business week, and wonder why a disease that had been politicized and downplayed in contradiction to the science and what we were seeing in other countries for months before we saw significant numbers of infections in the US did not generate the same effect?

Of course it didn't. I don't understand why you think it ever had the chance to.

>I’m sure you remember Harris and Biden saying they wouldn’t get a vaccine when Trump was president. It’s political all the way down.

I remember their comments. I also remember the rest of the statements they made and the context around them. And neither of them said they wouldn't get a vaccine while Trump was president - they said that they wouldn't get a vaccine if Trump was the only one saying to get it, and experts like Fauci weren't.

How is that much different from a plugin system? Because now you have developers writing bespoke code with a shim for each host DAW. At that point you've pretty much developed your own modular component protocol... literally a step away from a plugin system

> I'm flagging this as dubious. Everything I've seen points to smaller viral load and shorter durations for breakthroughs.

You can flag something as dubious all you want, but you are missing the point, and seeking to redefine something to meet your objectives, rather than having a science based approach.

There are immunizing/sterilizing vaccines, and non-immunizing/non-sterilizing vaccines.

Covid vaccines, in their present 1st and 2nd generation versions are non-immunizing/non-sterilizing. You can still get covid, just your symptoms are likely to be less.

Here is an article on it, since you claimed my data was dubious. Therefore, I say your attack on my data is actually dubious.

https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/prevention-c...

Some researchers have already proposed that the evidence of human natural immunity provides data for future vaccines in future generations to target the Covid virii in other ways beyond the mere spike protein.

> Virus-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells are polyfunctional and maintained with an estimated half-life of 200 days. Interestingly, CD4+ T cell responses equally target several SARS-CoV-2 proteins, whereas the CD8+ T cell responses preferentially target the nucleoprotein, highlighting the potential importance of including the nucleoprotein in future vaccines. Taken together, these results suggest that broad and effective immunity may persist long-term in recovered COVID-19 patients.

I almost picked them a while back because I searched for "domain registrars" and they came up. Nowhere on the website did it say anything about neo-nazis, fascism, conspiracy theories, etc. Just seemed like a simple registrar with no GoDaddy-esque sleaziness, and a neat, memorable domain name.

So so happy that I ended up not signing up. I just wanted a domain for my personal site and email, but I would've ended up on a public list next to nazis.
> especially if your talent level is validated by a big tech name brand on your resume

This is unironically the best way to find a good WLB while working on interesting problems. I switched from a startup with great WLB to a big tech with worse WLB because I recognised that the brand name on my resume will open me up for more interesting work with better WLB later on. It sucks for me now, but I'm hoping it'll pay off soon enough.

Personally I think it's partially an (mis)information issue. With the explosion of information sources starting with cable and then exploding again with the internet and social media we've gone from a relatively uniform media environment and a drought of information to a fractured media environment with an absolute deluge. So now you can live in a completely different factual world than someone doors down from you and still have more supporting sources of information than you could consume even if you spent all your time awake.

That's pretty cool. Most modern DAWs allow you to define per-controller triggers for custom logic in the form of MIDI events. I guess you could write a CLI that maps custom commands to MIDI events and allows you to send those events to your DAW when they are called. It's not exactly what you're describing (and maybe it doesn't fit your use case) but is that something you've considered?
