I had a play around with Logo the other day. In the end I decided to dive too deeply into it, but I came away thinking that there is basically nothing wrong with the language. It was invented in 1967. 1965! Yet it has everything "there". I think there's even a university professor who teaches Logo to undergraduates, too, claiming it is much better than Pascal.

Pascal. That could be used as a systems programming language. Maybe it's not perfect - C++ wins when it comes to resource management - but that doesn't mean it's unfixable. Just fix the bits you don't like. Sorted.

I could go on: Dylan, Ada, even Basic. They all "work". We've been inventing language after language after language, and yet all the key ideas were already there.

Now, it's true, many are lacking the kinds of libraries we want. And most of these languages don't receive the love they need to smooth over the rough edges that have programmers reaching for the more popular languages.

Let us now consider programming languages that can be programmed graphically. These kinds of tools get announced with great hype, only to be ignored when everyone realises that it's more fuss that it's worth.

And yet, it's maybe not a complete wash. NodeRed looked practical, and Scratch seemed to have a place. In principle, the whole idea that a program can be viewed as a schematic has appeal.

Then there's the "MX" tool for STM32 MCUs (microcontrollers). It can used to configure the pins and peripherals of your MCU. I hated it at first, but now I'm seeing its advantage at simplifying configuration, even if it does spew out a ton of stuff.

One thing about MX is that it "understands" the chip, so it knows about conflicts of pins and the limitations of the chip. The key thing here is that it's a metatool, a kind of Domain Specific "Language" (although it's actually graphical). It can achieve something that general-purpose languages can't. There's no magic here, of course, the MX only understands the chips because it has been programmed to.

MX is completely useless for making things like database applications, for example.

So DSLs /can/ work - maybe - but they tend to suffer from the same problems as graphical programming tools. They are also niche products, so they don't tend to get much interest. They also tend to suffer from the problem of "walled gardens" - whereby anticipated things are trivial, but unanticipated things are impossible.

One of my own ideas is a kind of "compilation language". It would be a language, possibly a subset of a larger language, in which you could give developers something that "understands" their problem domain. I'm thinking something along the lines of C++'s notion of "constexpr all the things". Perhaps we could push this idea so far that we could build a set of libraries that the compiler itself executes and can validate other developer code.
You're making the mistake of thinking that home owners and investors are distinct groups of people. The overlap between the two is huge.

I think maybe its the attitude, not the act that is different between a "self giving" turn taking, and a "compromise" turn taking.

Under a "self giving" regime, I want to spend time with my partner, enjoying her enjoying the movie she wants to watch.
My partner wants to spend time with me enjoying the movie I want to watch.
We can't both do that, so we each take turns letting the other one enjoy being with us while we watch the movie we want to watch.

Under the "compromise" option, we each get to watch the movie we want to watch, taking turn and turn about. That is what is important about the event: that we get to watch the movie we want to watch.

I think maybe the movie choice is a pretty trivial aspect of the relationship anyway, the GPs post around the willingness to serve your partner was a lovely insight to what makes a partnership work over the long term, far beyond how you both decide what movie to watch.

Pareto Security app for macOS – Avoid common security mistakes on your Mac
This app came out of "scratch your own itch". We're a small remote company and we often travel, go to conferences, meetups etc. - well at least before COVID-19. We're pretty conscious about security and know how to set up our own Macs. That's why Nejc, the cofounder, was shocked when he saw he forgot to set up FileVault months after buying his new Mac.

Then the story repeated itself when he was talking to a coworker. Neither of them are newbies to computers, security or Macs and both of them were sure they had it set up.
What Pareto Security does is checks regularly that all of these basics are taken care of.

Here's the current list of checks:
- Automatic login is off
- Boot is secure
- Firewall is on
- FileVault is on
- Gatekeeper is on
- Password after inactivity
- Password to unlock preferences
- Remote Login is off
- Remote Management is off
- Screen saver shows in 5 min
- Sharing files is off
- Sharing printers is off

We plan on adding more and we're building the Teams dashboard for companies that should be available in a few weeks.

Check it out here: https://paretosecurity.app

The app is priced pretty inexpensively but we are giving it away for free with the 100% discount coupon code: HACKERNEWS (active until 3rd October)

We also launched on Product Hunt if you want to support us there.
Would love to hear your feedback!
Marc Faber: Inside the mind of a bear
Some people can only learn from first hand experience and this is why incompatible people marry and and raise children.

I dodged the bullet 2 times from partners, that I had feelings at the time (I was lonely and out of a relationship for very long periods before), who didn't want children with me (they would consider abortion in case I left them pregnant, instead of having a family with me, when I discussed the possibility).

Love is real and instinctual. No matter how many possible couples you have observed (I appreciate gossip sometimes) to know the possibilities of what to expect, you still have to fight your own urges and dreams.
I did the same last year for basically the same reasons. I'll also add that Amazon are generally not the cheapest any more either.

Their only real advantages are fast delivery and the convenience of not having to enter my credit card details. I can live without those.

This solution is part of the original comment; i.e.: “Or you compromise by not watching movies together, but seperately.”[1].

Different environments have different priorities. And in some we really don't know what the priorities are and we need to discover them.

Aviation is a mature technology in which almost anything is already known and we could fly above the clouds where atmosphere is stable. Those conditions were not met for a long time in Aviation History.

In many environments the best thing you could do is communicate, like in a natural disaster like Tsunami, volcanic activity, Tornadoes. The sooner you can communicate and the better you can predict what will happen, the less damage.

One of the best things I learned from my mentor in company building is that the best working companies are boring, because they could plan ahead(navigate) and avoid (most)emergencies.

Some people just love emergencies because they make you feel alive, and if they don't have them on their lives they will just create them, because they need all the drama and rushing and adrenaline of being at the edge all the time.

I prefer jumping of bridges with parachutes or diving 100 meters and leaving my company boring.
Sure. It's a classic rhetorical technique, and the conditions for it to work are well known.

It's a variant of "trust me", and that works if and only if the audience considers you trustworthy. So it wasn't terribly likely to work for someone like Boris Johnson, whose recent history chiefly consists of using bonmots to deflect blame for a series of failures. But it worked for Angela Merkel six years ago, when she said "wir schaffen das" about an impending crisis, and the great majority trusted her judgment.

In Python at least, you can easily call an async function from a sync function:

result = asyncio.run_until_complete(func)

Also, having explicit async/await are a wait to tell you: here are the point in your code that have something doing unreliable side effects down there.

You can then use this information to:

- move that code and group it, so you get the rest of the code sansIO style

- put that in a try/except, because this code WILL fail at some point

- think about the perfs of this part of your code, which is what you are doing async io the first place

I do wish that python coro would schedule themself automatically, like JS does, and return a future that you can await explicitly. But that ship as sailed.
The scenario isn't fleshed out enough to make any judgment on that.

Is Shallow Hal doing the majority of the childcare? Do they need to find somewhere to live to perform that function?

In the general sense that a house husband should be treated like a stay at home mom in a divorce settlement, there is nothing at all wrong here.
Not trusting it isn't exactly a great option either though
No, I am not. I am trying to say, stop making unreasonable accusations, regardless your motive. Media already publish only sensational headlines, at least, we, normal people, can behave better than them.

Because you believe you are righteous does not mean you can spread false information you can easily question with your brain, the same as you believe you are righteous does not mean you can go into other country for WMD.
I’m not sure why we would care about controlling for price of the car…
> This anti-car shit is already way beyond tiresome, especially from some L.A douche. L.A. is a COUNTY, not a city. It's not fucking Amsterdam; it's a sprawling geographic region with no public transportation to speak of.

Build some, then. How do you think Amsterdam got where they did?

>Therefore it's time to stop whining that people in such places have cars, and stop pretending that everyone else is somehow "paying" for them. Car owners pay and pay and pay.

- Taxes on cars do not cover the cost of roads
- Taxes on cars do not cover the increased development cost caused by parking minimums, single family zoning and other complete non-sense zoning rules
- Taxes on cars definitely do not pay for the negative externalities they have on the climate
- Taxes on cars do not pay for the large amount of deaths they cause

Of course, given what the U.S is today, actually making car ownership pay for what it costs would be unfeasible, since this would likely further drive low class people into ruination - which is why it's important to start developing actual alternatives that they can use - bicycle infrastructure, walkable urban environments and public transportation.

> You can spot the developer shills in any urban-living-related forum; they're the ones claiming that the elimination of parking requirements will allow people to ride their bikes to the grocery store in the rain and snow. Or to carry 30 bags of dirt on their bikes. Or lumber. Or a table saw. A dresser too.

Yes, clearly this is every single trip that anyone could ever consider making. Hence the only conclusion is that every person in the world must have a car.

Except that is not true, and there is evidence against it out in the world.

I move around the world using walking, bicycling and public transportation. I can do this because I do not live in the U.S, where such a lifestyle would be impossible. As for how I tackle the challenges you listed in your examples:

- Groceries: I used to buy my groceries using public transportation, but I have now transitioned to a conbination of getting my groceries delivered and walking 2 minutes to my local supermarket
- 30 bags of dirt, lumber, table saw: I rarely have the use-case to transport what I assume is building materials, but should I need to do so, I would likely have it delivered (which costs less than owning a car). This is what I did when I bought lumber for my patio, at least.
- Dresser: The last time I transported something like this, I used an uber-style service and had it delivered door-to-door very cheaply.

We can easily conclude that car ownership is not necessary, even when listing the most convoluted use-cases that you did.
I discovered this turn of phrase today when I typo'd "hot dog" as "hit dog" in Google.
Can you be specific about what exactly you find wrong or incorrect about Shoup's claims?
>This is from the company headed by the "funding secured" guy.

Even worse he's the guy willing to falsely accuse someone of being a child rapist because that person pointed out he had simply tried a publicity stunt that failed, badly, and his tech solution to a cave rescue with a huge media focus was actually worse than useless.

In other words when correctly and honestly called out for sprouting bullshit Musk goes fully delusional in the nastiest way possible. It's pretty worrying behaviour. He may well go on to do amazing work, i don't know either way on that and I don't have to have an opinion on it either. Surely nobody sane would never trust his word on anything for any purpose ever again after that display. I'd expect from a five year old.

Where can you find affordable housing within 1 hour of Boston or New York? (That you can actually commute to those cities within an hour during normal working hours)
> An exception for the rich people to be able to ignore what's best for humanity while we ask all the regular people to make sacrifices.

So at the moment it is the regular people are driving around in electic cars and the rich in the gas cars ... no and if there is a class war at work it is the other way round.

At this moment the ev revolution is being driven by the rich, this will trickle down over time naturally, but the choice to go electric means paying more. Tesla dont have a comparable product but VW do, pretty consistntly $10,000 more for electric. If 'regular' people are making sacrifices as the previous person suggested it is by spending so much more on a car (or lease) and not eating or being broke, because it is the only way they are participating at the moment.
I agree, it's the more likely source. But as a Welshman, I quite like this one!
I hated Pocket too. I already used RSS reader, so, I ended up building https://reading.ashishb.net that creates an RSS feed of articles you add. And yeah, it has a readable mode turned on by default.

That's an interesting design, it seems like the best of both worlds. Zip has really neat ideas. I wish it didn't go the "case as you want road" though.
In a way in a good relationship the other person knows you won't like it, so either he will find something else to share for both pleasure, or he will make it enjoyable (don't just watch the movie with someone on the side, talk about the movie, make her part of the moment). The idea is that sharing together is more important than self pleasure. (as long as its reciprocal indeed)

> Given that languages used broadly in the industry are lacking behind research 20+ years

This is obviously true in abstract, but the real breakthrough happens when you make those concepts ergonomic for the working developer. The theory behind dependent types is well established, but I can't really write my next project in Idris, can I?

Similarly, there was a time when C was the only sensible choice to write anything non-academic, non-toy. It's not like people didn't know about OOP or functional programming back then, but it wasn't a realistic possibility.

Or parametric subtype polymorphism, also known by its common name "generics". The concept has been around at least since the 70s, C++ templates weren't widely used before what, 1990?

> My guess for the future is more that we will see a kind of split between a big group of people using advanced low-code like tools for programming day to day things

This has arguably already happened, we call them data scientists. Many of them are technical and have some light scripting skills but they couldn't be put to work on, say, your average backend project. Obviously this is a gross generalization, titles mean literally nothing, I'm pretty sure there exist data scientists that kick ass at coding.
Trains aren't sucessful in europe. They are a massive drain of resources that survive primarily as a result of subsidies and government policy.

The US ironically has a much more efficient and sustainable train network, it's just that the thing trains are really efficient at is cargo, not personal transportation.
Sweden has consequently, during the entire pandemic, delayed every kind of measure that was taken elsewhere, and then sometimes introduced the same thing weeks or months later. It also - during the entire pandemic - resisted mask mandates, while going from stigmatizing masks to half-heartedly "recommending" them without any enforcement whatsoever, even though it became quite clear quickly that widespread mask use did have good likelihood of helping to reduce the spread on a society level (while, unlike strict lockdowns, being only a minor inconvenience), particularly in settings where many vulnerable can be found. There are so many reports of that even months into the pandemic, staff working at nursing homes where prohibited from wearing masks by their superiors, who referred to the health agency's anti-mask stance.

So if you look at Sweden's death toll of around 15K in addition to probably hundreds of thousands who had to suffer through more severe Covid cases, plus longcovid cases, plus tens of thousands who had their surgeries delayed due to overfull hospitals, there is no way one can argue that Sweden could not have done much, much better and saved many more lives / saved more people from traumatic hospital experiences. Not even by opting for strict lockdowns like many other countries (that's its own very complicated issue, which I am not taking a stance on in this comment), but simply by just being a bit less stubborn and sure of itself, by being more open to learnings from elsewhere, by making use of precautionary principles, and by being more honest to the population about what international scientific consensuses were emerging about the ways how Covid spread, about herd immunity etc. Swedes were systematically misinformed by the authorities during the pandemic, and many still haven't understood the dynamic of superspreading. They still think that washing your hands and keeping 2 meters distance is the way to avoid infection. "Wash your hands often" is still part of the official guideline to prevent Covid from spreading (nothing against washing hands, but it's so absurd that this is still considered and communicated as an important cornerstone of fighting the pandemic today).

So attempts to compare Sweden with other countries to show that Sweden did or did not good after all, or to blame the bad outcome on chance, are misguided and likely motivated by wanting one's own idea about Sweden's path to be confirmed. In reality, Sweden (what it did) needs to be compared with Sweden (what it could have done). And in that regard, it's quite a failure.

If you take the pareto principle of trying to achieve 80 percent of the outcome with 20 percent of the effort, Sweden did rather only 10 percent of the effort, to achieve maybe 50 percent of the outcome (while Tegnell and others surely want to believe it's more of the 20/80 kind).
Yes, unfortunately that's the risk of protests, getting monopolized by crazies, or infiltrated by the political establishment with violent thugs and delegitimized. Moderately dissatisfied people with probably vote with right wing crazies, like it happened in Germany in 1929, ultimately leading to WW2 and the hollocaust.
