I think you're moving the goalposts from "good to great FP support" to "is Haskell". I think that's the only one that fullfills both do-notation and tail call optimisation at the same time. Well, there's also Purescript and Scala.js running on JavaScriptCore since it has tail call optimisation, but that's a bit of a stretch. I see a lot of people like you that seem to have a very precise idea of what FP is supposed to be, and that idea always boils down to "basically Haskell". I think that's a fallacy, and that Haskell is not the only way to do FP. We have now languages like Koka, and soon (ish) OCaml that have effects, and are going to provide an alternative to Haskell's monads. There's also stuff like Scala with the DOT calculus. Lots of exciting stuff is happening in that space, and being a purist of one specific implementation isn't helping.

To get back to the subject of "good to great FP support", maybe we disagree fundamentally. Here are a few examples:

I would say that Rust is a good example of "great FP support". It's not a functional programming language, but it supports a lot of the patterns that make statically-typed functional programming languages effective. However, its DNA is still mostly "imperative programming language".

For "good FP support", I'd say TypeScript and C# are nice examples. C# has LINQ, pattern matching, records, optionals in a way. TypeScript has the usual JS stuff, plus the type system is nice. Both are lacking in some places. For example, in TypeScript/JavaScript, the usual map/reduce/filter are only functions on Array, and don't work with iterators.

To take the opposite view: what would be a functional programming language with good or great support for another paradigm? OCaml could be an example of good/great support for imperative programming. Scala has great functional programming and great object-oriented programming.
You massively overestimate 1) how much capital would flow into a bitcoin etf and 2) how large that would be relative to the rest of the US (or global) equity space.

Bitcoin has a trillion dollar “market cap”. That’s about 4% of the US equity market cap. In reality bitcoin’s market cap is nonsense, the real float is much smaller, and the real market is much much smaller.

$GBTC has $35B aum, and that is mostly due to the massive bull market in the last 18 months (thanks to Tether). The amount of hard cash that has flowed in is a small fraction of that, perhaps something like $7B (and since done 5x in performance).

But $GBTC is OTC and so not everyone can invest, and a vanilla ETF would likely garner more interest. How much more I don’t know. But $NKLA was a $30B fraud at its peak and yet in terms of market health, it was hardly a blip on the radar.

If true, then that's exactly what makes it good. We can save lives for the small cost of giving donors some recognition and a sense of community.

Edit: To add the above, the median annual donation amount for someone earning $60k-$80k in 2010 was $107. Roughly 0.15% of their income. It feels weird to criticize people donating 10% for having not-pure-enough motives while letting the majority who donate almost nothing escape criticism.
Still cheaper than traditionally tracking down money laundering. And most people would make a mistake or two over a criminal career.

The core of science is debate. There is no singular truth for most things in the scientific world, and lots and lots of shades of "the truth".

Science isn't done by youtube video battles but by debates in scholarly journals. Youtube is a medium for popularizing whatever content. Youtube seems well in its rights in banning content it considers harmful and in this case I'd agree with this ban.

That's not to say youtube's effective monopoly isn't concerning. I'd rather see ten providers but I'd like to see them all ban climate change, antivax and similarly noxious content - make people interested in the subject read long texts instead.

Video isn't good medium for sustained, coherent debate. In this instance, it's a means of broadcasting shallow propaganda to morons, or put less insultingly, those not using rational facilities to decide things.
It really depends on your goals, your use case.

In begin of AMD64 a lot of Windows software was single threaded 32 bit still, while on Debian with APT you had a working 64 bit environment. It was mostly userland which could not handle the amount of max cores found in even consumer grade multicore AMD64.

Even recently many games did not take advantage of multiple cores, while AMD has been strong performance wise multiple cores, Intel was best single core until Zen 3 recently. Windows would be unable to perform well (use max cores) on AMD64 by AMD.

You can see it now too. Intel gets slight performance boost with Windows 11 compared to 10 while AMD loses performance. Which AMD said they will address in October.

Right, but the website is being used to scam customers and steal their information. So, that's not even the same thing. It's like Cloudflare protecting people that send out spam phishing emails that look like PayPal, etc. It's not just because the site was copied outright, though that's bad enough. It's about tricking customers entirely. It's literally fraud.

My professor made a pretty good criticism of the “hockey” stick graph climate change scientists often referred to, showing how it was just bad science.

Saying that some/all other standups "just [tell] 100 individual jokes" is a straw man. She demonstrates textbook Stand-Up Comedy:

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand-up_comedy :
"Bits (linked jokes) and chunks (linked bits) are an arrangement of interlinked thematic units from within the set or routine. [...] Stand-ups structure jokes, bits, and chunks to end on climactic laughter. [...] A callback is a reference to a previous thing that was experienced by the audience during that set, designed to create an inside joke."

So, what us promoters of free speech read this as is, “anything that qualifies the unified messaging of the dominant orthodoxy is banned.”

Anthropogenic global warming is of course true. But there is an absolute metric ton of shit to qualify about the messaging and particular facts, claims, and policies around it. Some of this qualification will come from adversarial debate where the policy opponents are mostly wrong, but still provide some nuggets of truth.

Now I know that YouTube cannot be trusted to host this discussion.
I'm a huge fan of Eric Rosen, who plays lots of gambits and aggressive games with highly instructive commentary.I'd highly recommend his content whenever you feel yourself starting to get tired of traditionally high-energy YouTubers -- Eric is lively and funny but also stays incredibly chill and calm 100% of the time. I've watched hundreds of hours of his videos and have never seen him lose his cool ever, it's impressive.
In the mid 90s, I worked for a grocery store doing full time, overnight stock to partially pay for college. One of my co-workers for a period of time, whose name I now forget, was a barely-functional alcoholic. He would show up to work on time most days, and work through his shift. At lunchtime he would disappear for a period of time and he would come back smelling like Listerine.

Because that was his lunch.

A bottle of Listerine.

During the holidays they shifted some of us to a morning shift to continue to put items on shelves to match the holiday demand, and I saw him walk in on his day off, grab a fifth of bourbon and a fifth of vodka in the cheap plastic bottles, walk out, and walk back in about an hour later because he had consumed both bottles in his truck in the parking lot. He wanted a couple more to bring back to his apartment.

And as bad as his drinking was, the reason he had sole custody of his daughter is because his ex-girlfriend was a full blown drug addict and he was good at hiding his drinking from CPS.
Yes, that's why slowing down is the other action you can take.

> We're straying very far away from a nation that believes in actual science

One big issue is using the term ”believe”. It is not matter of belief, it is a matter of understanding, wrapping theorems and facts. We need to understand the science. We have already 10 000 gods, so let’s not make science equated to the religion and reduce its power with that.

No, the core of science is not debate, the core of science is peer reviewed published research, for which there are (shocker) way WAY more research that has withstood publication and review that speaks to the validity of human activity lead climate change.

They excpect to receive wisdom and knowledge of a master, not to be a master themselves. MasterClass is really BeginnerClass, but that wouldn't sell.

Yeah so, if OP did not realize the scheme before he bought I feel sorry for him. Way back when I first heard of Masterclass it too k me a minute of seeing the homepage to figure out the scheme. But I'm well versed in startup bs. "Of course a startup would focus on the mass market beginner level material" even if it says master class on the box.
> windows is idling at less than half the power! Idle power matters since most laptops spend most of their time idle waiting for the comparatively-slow humans to press keys

The min use under Windows is slightly lower, the average is higher, and most importantly of all, the battery life (the metric we actually care about) appears about the same.

As the article says "Overall, the power use between Windows 10 and the four tested Linux distributions was basically on-par with each other." and "Beyond this data, the battery life of this Dell XPS laptop has been about the same as seen under Windows 10 with the testing thus far. So overall it's a pleasant surprise with not having tested any other Kabylake-R laptops and wasn't quite sure if the Linux power efficiency would be able to run on-par with Windows 10 at this point."

So it would appear that your new claim (that Windows gets twice the battery life) is without merit.

I wish laptops were like a phones, where race to idle is key, but they're not. The upper levels of the software stacks both on Windows and Linux aren't there yet.

The single best tool for rehabilitation, for the convict and the society around them, is meaningful activity. People hurt each other for reasons that are often as sympathetic as they are ultimately intolerable. I think it's wonderful that you had a great experience and shared it because the stigma needs to go. The inclination to follow the law may be tangentially related to a basic ability to follow directions, granted, but it doesn't make someone good or moral.
Does the mainstream media back up any of its claims that are supposedly scientific. "Trust the science", ask Galileo if he trusted the science of his time.
Masterclass is brilliant in that it is flattering to the audience (master learners only), taught by actual masters of the craft (credibility) and positioned in a way that gives the teacher permission to omit the fundamentals (this is master level, not basics).

Many amateur publishers outside of masterclass dot com have stolen this concept because it too gives them permission to not actually teach fundamentals, but give the feeling of learning.

And that's really what you get from masterclass. I've done a lot of courses on there including Deadmau5 and a lot of film stuff. Actual EDM production and actual filmmaking are incredibly technical and cover a LOT. I've gone deep on Ableton and gone deep on film (I'm a trained steadicam op, attended DP courses (and I know BMD cameras backwards), attended colorist courses (I know Resolve backwards) etc. And the actual learning of these crafts is something you will never even approach at masterclass dot com.

But the author is right. It's very inspirational. But there is very little usable knowledge in any 'masterclass' on how to practice the craft. I think it's critical to understand this because the 'feeling' of learning that MC provides is not the same as 'actual' learning. Actual learning is very time consuming which is why one of the prereqs is passion for the subject because of the volume of content one is required to consume.

So I think one negative effect that MC has is that it can give people the illusion of actual learning when it creates the feeling of learning and merely provides inspiration. But I do love MC and I do still use it, so I don't want it to go away and I'm glad it exists.

1. A professor fired for using the N-word in a discussion about racial discrimination

2. A professor placed on leave for using a Chinese expression that sounded like the N-word

3. People that express the opinion that someone who has undergone a gender change operation is different from someone that was born that gender. Expressing an opinion that they're different in some ways; not mocking or insulting them.

4. A man saying "I'd fork that" about a software project and everything went sideways because someone else decided it was sexual and was offended by it.

On and on and on. It has gotten to the point that if someone THINKS you crossed an imaginary line, a line that keeps moving, then you can face severe personal and professional repercussions. I do not believe that this is good for us as a society. People are supposed to have differing opinions and then discuss those differences. People are supposed to be able to discuss things in general. People are supposed to be able to have a little fun.

Accidentally offending someone has turned into a horrible offense, and it's bad for our growth as a society.

Being forced to accept Bitcoin is no different from being forced to accept any other legal tender, but you're right that the specific way in which it is implemented, is far from ideal. Most of the BTC community (if there is such a thing) also isn't happy with it.

Then again, depending on the country, the traditional system also has deep insight into capital flow.
>> My take on the university is simple - the university originally existed because you needed a single physical location for books and smart people. Access to people and information was finite and location really mattered. This is the opposite of the world we live in now - ability to access people and knowledge today is only hurt by the physical colocation aspect. So the university, which is still operating under the "books and smart people are scarce so you need to pay us to be near them" principle just no longer makes sense as the default way to educate the masses.

That doesn't make sense. Maybe for some fields, but certainly all the fields that actually require a lab to work in still benefit from the physical space a university provides.

I'm also not convinced that remote work/meetings == in person collaboration between colleagues.
> That's not the relevant question to this discussion (and also basically a strawman).

It's not strawman, it's on the same level in the science spectrum as decisively not scientific at all. It's meant to (hopefully) help them understand how stupid of a suggestion they're proposing by offering an equally stupid example.

> The question is, should being a "flat earther" be banned from online monopolies as misinformation?

No, the question is should we reward them for their misinformation content and the answer is no.
I discussed this method a little more in a blog post (https://blog.twitter.com/engineering/en_us/topics/infrastruc...), if you are trying to get an intuition here:

> we only allocate one pointer for every level of the skip list. In a typical skip list, a node will have a value, a pointer to the next largest element in the list and a pointer to the lower level of the skip list. This means that a new value allocated into the second level will require the space for two values and four pointers. We avoid this by always allocating skip list towers contiguously. Each level K pointer will only point to other level K pointers, so to extract the value associated with a level K pointer P, you read the value at P - K. Once you reach a node with a value greater than the one you are searching for, you go back to the previous node, and descend a level by simply subtracting one from the pointer. This lets us allocate a value into the second level by just consuming the space for the value and two pointers. It also reduces the amount of time we need to spend chasing pointers, because a pointer into a tower is likely to be on the same cache line as the lower pointers in that tower.
I wouldn't be so sure :-)
Yep - jest.
I feel like this comment might change the course of my life and I'm going to try this practice you suggested. Thank you. It's really relevant to me right now.
> There is very little actual consensus in the scientific community about anything

Scientists agree that at low velocities, the force of an object equals the mass times the acceleration. This is just one point of agreement. There are others that I can't list here. You may be surprised at the amount of info that scientists agree upon.
