Thank you! Yes, generative design is part of it.

I’m interested in this approach because the current situation (including hybrid) has engineers, often students, designing devices to meet the need of biologists. There a going to be a fundamental challenge here in terms of communication of requirements, expertise and time the engineers have and limitations of available fabrication methods.

This results in the lowest common denominator in terms of design and performance. I want to make tools that the key stakeholders (biologists etc) can use to plot out the functionality they require and obtain a functional geometry.
I’ve also got a concept for a rapid prototyping platform that eliminates many of the problems with 3D printing.
That is not currying, it’s partial application.

That is not entirely true.

At least in Germany it depends on the state you are in.
The teachers make their recommendation, not entirely based on your grades in school, but also based on your general approach to learning and understanding as they got to observe you for a few years.
Depending on the German state, this recommendation is binding, but in some of the states the final decision is with your parents.
Very good catch, thank you. Here is my take on a better version that fixes the issue:

const curry = fn => {
const curried = (...a) => a.length >= fn.length ? fn(...a) : curried.bind(undefined, ...a)
return curried
}

You're right. It only provides evidence that a top member of the Chinese military was working with the lab (specifically with Ebola variants), that this was only discovered after he had access to the lab and that the RCMP are not releasing details on their investigation on the extent that "intellectual property" has been passed on. So, you're right, maybe I should have left it at "infiltrated by the Chinese military".

I work in IT for 25 years and I am a geek at heart. The state of the Linux desktop is horrendous.

This is not a problem per se - Linux has a good and stable place on servers. It just means that peopel who want to run a desktop with linux must be ready for a lot of browsing, experimenting, ... Windows users do not.
Some alternatives:

- optional: keep the current phone and refuse to upgrade it (a few months)

- get a pinephone

- check compatibility and get a rootable Android phone

I think I like this method the most, honestly. There's something to be said for minimalist web design, but there's also something to be said for everything we've learned since the 90s.
>What is ultimately being argued here is that instead of being prepared and responding reasonably all we have to do is control research and nothing like this will happen.

I don't think that is being argued at all. The article ends "it remains likely that to this date, there has been no real-world example of a laboratory accident that has led to a global epidemic" which suggests the opposite.
Page speed has long been a search ranking factor, but as Google News is now allowing non-AMP pages in the News Carousel with the requirement that they pass all 3 Core Web Vitals checks. This has forced a lot of search-dependant, ad-driven publishers to reevaluate their priorities and get better at page speed and UX. I led an effort to do so at an enterprise publisher, so I'm looking at it from that lens where we dropped lots of 3rd party libraries, services, and underperforming ads. You're right that many sites simply don't care. Google delayed their full rollout of what was expected to be a requirement in June 2021. When it is fully in effect, you probably won't be seeing super ad heavy sites ranking in mobile search as much. Sites that live off of social traffic may continue not to care.
Very cool, thanks for sharing. I did a deep dive in the past into various syncing/binary diff protocols and really liked zsync. It was probably my top choice for the application I was designing but I ended up not using it. The library I did use is called bita: https://github.com/oll3/bita. It is inspired by the same family of projects as zsync. The main advantage I found with bita is that the core logic is encapsulated in a library so that you don’t only have to use the binaries but can integrate it directly into an application. I’d be curious to know if that’s in the plans for KySync.
It usually takes 1-2 years for AWS to roll out their latest updates to the regions I use and by then Terraform is stable.
We need both.

We need to have a better plan for dealing with future viruses but we should also look to make what changes we can to reduce the number of new viruses that jump to humans in the first place.
Well let's hear it then. Because everything "just works" on my current setup. It's not always so of course, if you buy a laptop with a bunch of OS hostile components, sure that won't work well, but how's that the fault of Linux?

And even then, I have a Lenovo that was a very hostile driver experience to start with, and yet everything is now supported in the kernel minus the fingerprint reader.

How to Ride a Motorcycle – 1942 British Military Training Film [video]
The Android ecosystem has. Currently most mobile devices in the world run the Android Common Kernel, which is only a few patches of differences from mainline Linux kernel, plus proprietary drivers. Considering the current state of fully Linux phones, we'd have never had a shot at being the market leader on mobile otherwise.

In Android 12-based devices these drivers will become simply plug-in kernel modules, so all devices will run the same kernel and it will finally be able to be updated without messing with the drivers. This is in addition to less and less out-of-tree patches each year as more of them get upstreamed.

This means Android is creeping very close to mainline Linux, and already some projects like postmarketOS have devices they've done the last few tweaks needed to run it on existing phones like the Poco F1. I don't think it would have happened otherwise that most mobiles worldwide would run almost-mainline Linux, so I'd say the Android project has been a net boon for Linux enthusiasts.
"Var är mormor, Anders?"

I tend to agree that we could talk about Sweden more but most likely for a very different reason: they managed to turn the corner despite the lax rules and not because of them. The outcome, I think, can be attributed to the fact that Sweden is a developed country with a strong health and well-fare system and economic ability (and socially pre-existing tendency!) for distancing without going bankrupt in the process (think: remote work instead of work that requires physical presence in e.g. a workshop - I doubt that such an outcome would have been possible in a country with widespread day-labour and people living hand-to-mouth). People were eventually able to react correctly all by themselves but it took a while and that costed a lot of lives.
That does not mean that they could not have saved a lot of people with a different approach, like Norway or Finland managed to. Those did not really fare much worse economically in the process and that without incurring the huge cost of lives like Sweden did in the beginning. If you translate the swedish snippet at the top of the post, you might be able to guess who I blame for that.
Fortunately, lawyers have monetary incentives to fund evidence collection, e.g. autopsies that would otherwise never take place, or expensive genome sequencing to identify which variant infected a vaccinated person, to quantify public health benefits, costs and risks. The fuzzier the claims, the happier the lawyers.

Pharma manufacturers and governments may not have liability, but a range of individuals and organizations may be surprised to find themselves liable for "mandates" not encoded in legislation. OSHA has rules which require employers to track all adverse events from mandated vaccines, but these are not currently being enforced. That ambiguity should make lawyers happy, NSW in Australia has proposed that employers be liable for worker vaccine injuries when the vaccine is mandated by the government.

> Countries like Australia that did a little better, down at 700

Australia has had less than 1,200 deaths in total. That's 48 per million.

Edit: NZ has only had 27 deaths in total. Only 5.4 per million.
Your logic is absolutely drenched in bias. It makes me curious what you do for a living and where you’re from. You’re argument is like saying that instead of controlling the use of firearms, everyone should just walk around in bulletproof vests. It’s completely and utterly backwards. It is far more efficient to stop these events at the source.

Not at all. I'd suggest booting into a live CD environment of a newer kernel distro (personally I am a fan of Fedora which provides a very stock experience). I can't see you having much issue with P51.
There are two parties in the USA. One party has acknowledged climate change and proposed solutions (even though the solutions aren’t perfect). The other party denies climate change exists and has presented no plans to combat it.

An entire political party not providing a single solution for society’s largest ongoing problem is what should make moderates distrustful.

Actually proposing solutions opens one up to the types of attacks you constantly make on this site, that’s the price to pay for taking threats seriously and actually trying to solve problems. You can deflect to other topics, but in the end, no amount of wordsmithing changes that fact.

A couple points of order:

1) I've never heard of anybody using anything other than ethanol for preparing shellac

2) You are unlikely to encounter pure ethanol outside of a lab. Ethanol can only be distilled to about 95%. Removing the remaining water involves somewhat more exotic processes (I'm a furniture maker, not a chemist)

As for precat and other modern finishes vs shellac and other historic finishes, an excellent rule of thumb is that the more durable a finish is, the harder it is to repair or restore.

Shellac, wax finishes, drying oil finishes, oil/varnish blend finishes, and soap finishes are all pretty repairable. They wouldn't be my pick for a dining room table for most people, but they're pretty easily renewable under normal use for most other applications.
This is for personal accounts. Corporates are too expensive to go after.

> What crawler are you using and what kind of crawling speeds are you achieving?

Custom crawler, and I seem to get around 100 documents per second at best, maybe closer to 50 on average. Depends a bit on how many crawl-worthy websites it finds, and there is definitely diminishing returns as it goes deeper.

I rank based on a pretty large number of factors, incoming links weighted by the "textiness" of the source domain, and similarity to the query.

I honestly use Google for a lot. My search engine isn't meant as a replacement, but a complement.

Are you kidding? I think the Patreon is a resounding success! I'm still a bit stunned. I've gotten more support and praise, not just in terms of money but also emails and comments here than I could have ever dreamed possible.

And this is just the start, too. I only recently got the search engine working this well. I have no doubt it can get much better. The fact that I have 11 people with me on that journey, even if they "just" pay my power bill, that's amazing.

I'm honestly a bit at a loss for words.
Thinking back on it, we always used Terraform with Pulumi, which creates its own abstraction layer for a CF stack. It's hard to pinpoint where the root cause of the slowness was.. but in principle having fewer abstractions allowed us to iterate faster, and fix the bugs more quickly.

What's the difference between currying and partial application/closures?
Been using Mint w/ Cinnamon for a while, tried Kubuntu as well and will probably switch back to a KDE-based distro at some point when I have time. Both are fine but I don't find either as functional for me as macOS (which has lost a lot of usability over time as well)

I agree not a great argument, they even mention the difference between Linux and chromebooks and Android, but call it political. I don’t think it’s political but really technological. Android and off the shelf chromebooks hide Linux away and might as well be a toaster running the Linux kernel.

“There's a difference between Linux the technology and "Linux" the political movement, and the political side of Linux has always obscured the practical. Listen to Linux fans all the way back to the 90s, and you hear at worst a mashup of "fight the power" free software advocacy and triumphalist hacker manifestos. But most buyers rank philosophy really low in their purchase choices, behind things like price, ease of use, and software availability.”

This is so true! Half the time they barely manage to get even simple things done because it’s incredibly hard to get consensus or agreement on something. Or things are brought to a standstill due to bureaucracy.
You are an exception I'm sorry to say. I've used two ThinkPads with Linux over the past few years with no issues, and am now on a Dell XPS with again, no issues.

Try running Kubuntu off of a live USB (you can do this with any Linux distro, you don't need to install it just to test it). I'd honestly baffled if it didn't run perfectly as long as you agree to install the drivers when prompted to.
If it was a lab leak it very much does matter and can be dealt with by stopping such stuff.
Entirely anecdotally, I find that a maths/science background sometimes feels like more of an impediment to teaching someone practical code than an arts/philosophy/language one.

Teaching is so often about finding the right metaphor, and students who are comfortable with metaphor tend to grasp the concepts faster.

This doesn't hold for the deeper bits - the specifics of boolean algebra etc. - there you do want that rigorous, stepped approach to understanding. But in terms of quickly getting to grips with a language and its paradigms - programming, rather than computer science - the more practice a student has at working with highly abstract concepts the better. That's something that does often come with a STEM background, but pretty much always with an arts one.
This looks like a very useful reference on the subject. Thanks!
Response type absolutely matters. Sweden has 10x the death rate of Norway, for example.

Norway, Finland, Denmark, even Cuba, a poor country with 3x the population density of the US is significantly below 700.

Australia stands at 45, not 700, BTW.

"We" cannot choose "as a society" any more than an individual can choose not to consume fossil fuel products, or sweatshop labour, or child slavery (yes, child slavery, and you're benefiting from its fruits, too; where did the materials to build the computer you're reading this on come from?). The environment, the slate of available choices, are intentionally constrained in order to make a small number of people richer than even numerate HN readers can conceive.

Victim blaming consumers, or even the engineers who create the products that usher in our inevitable future, isn't useful. Well, OK -- I suppose it isn't inevitable, it's just not avoidable without the failure of several complex societal institutions dedicated to preventing the kind of grass-roots, bottom-up reorganization required to stop it.
eg. AWS ChatBot not available in TF yet.
TBH AWS haven't even added it to their Go SDK. So, I cannot blame TF. But anyway that's one of the inheret problems of TF plugin system.

Compare to kubectl. Where you can write plugins in bash/shell and mark with execute bit, put it in somewhere in your $PATH as kubectl-blabla and use it as "kubectl blabla".
In a democracy, people who don't depend on the government, but other way around, are absolutely required. It doesn't matter if they are much educated or not - when they vote with their money, NOT for "free" money they get from government, everyone gets very rational. And universal higher education doesn't help with that.

And Soviet Union is a good example because a democracy would fare worse in same conditions. Soviets could apply unlimited violence to keep people in check, democratic government can't do that.

Perhaps. It still paints them in a very untrustworthy light though and since some of their actions (actively suppressing that covid was even a thing) directly caused many deaths, they are definitely guilty, even if not of everything.

I’m not saying it proves it was a lab leak, just that I don’t trust them, so when they say it wasn’t, that’s rather meaningless. And since the WHO weren’t allowed to investigate for over a year, that they say they didn’t find any evidence is also meaningless. The fact that the lab leak hypothesis kept getting shut down early for less than scientific reasons (calling it racist for example) also doesn’t help building trust.
> Currying and partial application are really nice when you have a pipeline operator

Currying != partial application.

And while currying is useful in curried languages (to convert back from uncurried to curried), and partial application is useful period, the question is whether currying is useful, in general, in an uncurried language.

I don't think it is:

* You usually want to perform partial application, currying is an unnecessary intermediate step.

* Currying conflicts with rich "imperative" parameters e.g. overloading, default parameters, keyword parameters.

* Uncurried languages are usually imperative and effectful, that you have filled all the parameter spots does not mean you want to invoke the function.

Having a curried language is neat, and in curried languages converting back from uncurried to curried functions is tremendously useful. But it's not so for uncurried languages (which is most of them).

> which is why the partial application and pipeline operator proposals are so intertwined.

Again, partial application != currying. And pipeline operators can perform partial application (implicitly or explicitely) on their own. For a flagrant example, just see Clojure:

(->> users
(map :email)
(sendEmail)
(mapError (constantly "Error sending emails"))
