The only way we could "continue to reason" is if there were a systematic way of taking claims about the environment, say C and translating them into some "neutral language", C'.

This was Husserl's project. But it's a failure.

Consider the case where realism is true: the environment causes us to enter a brain state which is ambiguious, so we cannot recover perfect information about the enviroment. Eg., light hits our eyes from a 3D room in a largely 2D way so we get depth perception wrong. A common occurance.

This means that there is a metaphysics, say R, where if R is true then all descriptions derivative/about anything metal may be systematically false.

In this sense realism is a scepticism about the "netural language" idealism presumes.

Since this scepticism is at least coherent/possible, there is no neutral language.

ie., the global sceptic says P(I am human|Scepticism) = 0 for a particualr Scepticism, eg., "youre in a dream" etc.

The idealist says: let's translate to a neutral language. P(Perceptions seem as if human|Scepticism) = 1

The realist says this is not 1, and may be zero, eg., when

P(Perceptions seem as-if human|AmbiguousBrainState) = 0

So realism offers a scepticism that idealism cannot overcome. There is no neutral language. And so reasoning does become impossible.

Eg., consider the claim "the object is 1m away" has to be translated to "perceptions seem as-if objects are 1m away" but in the case of an ambgious perception there is no fact about what "seems as-if" -- so you loose the ability to even talk about objects being at any distnace.

And since perceptions are bascially always ambigous there is no means by which you can translate objective claims into neutral subjective ones.

The choice to reason becomes the choice of a domain (of concepts) with which to interpret claims. A priori there is no neutral choices (eg., Idealism is NOT neutral!) -- so any sceptical choice becomes a decline to reasoning as such or a positive claim about the way the world is.

Ben from Coder here - thanks for sharing, and I'm looking forward to the write up! :D

code-server is the open source project we maintain. I personally host code-server on a Raspberry Pi in my office, so I can travel with an iPad and still write code.

Coder (also self-hosted) is a platform with multi-IDE support and team features. In other news, JetBrains introduced their remote gateway, similar to VS Code remote. This is a great time to start developing on a remote server.
Learning in High Dimension Always Amounts to Extrapolation
It is pretty standard practice to submit any consulting/advisory contracts to HR at your full time employer before you sign the deal. They can verify there is no conflict of interest. You also generally need to declare these relationships when you start a new job. This article is not clear if these procedures were followed. I'm guessing that these deals were secretive, hence the crime.

The 'limited capability' label is becoming less and less relevant as times goes on - about all you can't do on one these days is take calls, at least when compared to an iPhone.

Music, check. Videos (including streaming platforms), check. Games, triple-check. Browser, check. Apps to make games, check. Exploitative apps, check.

No Kindle/Kobe readers though. Unfortunate, that.
It's hard to speak to anyone's given experience.

It's not impossible that anyone could drive well for a while and land in a good place, but that's not the industry I see. I don't see people suddenly getting paid well after 30 months.

I don't have first hand experience with the Walmart example, but I've heard from others they get their pick of the most experienced drivers / don't pay poorly, but they're not the industry and the idea of just meeting their minimum to be considered and magically getting a job sounds a bit silly.

To me that's a YouTube video that implies a lot, isn't impossible, but doesn't say much about the odds of any of it being true for a given person either ...

The industry I know has demand for drivers, but the outcome of that isn't what you might think. There's "demand" where they demand folks who aren't paid well, and then there's real demand.
To be honest, as more of a casual user of Python I wasn't aware of the situation at all so I found your post very informative!

I did always find the setup.py approach misguided for several reasons, so it's more of a casual observation I've done that I thankfully rarely encounter it these days.
The big pain points I remember about JSP are the clunky syntax for for-loops and conditionals, and the lack of a simple way to define and use functions. A bit of Googling shows me this page from their Javadoc - https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19879-01/819-3669/bnaio/index.ht... (you should check if that's the latest version).

I'd recommend Velocity instead. It's also quite old and stable, and takes care of the above mentioned issues - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Velocity
While I agree the partition syntax may not be super straightforward, adding a new operator for another way to sort, sum, and abs etc. seems like chaos
Did you take inspiration from Luca Lampariello? He's a polyglot YouTuber and has a similar approach, of written translation to and from L1 and L2. That community on YouTube may offer a source of ideas, and potentially even some marketing for you.

Re: fossil fuel

I have been following oil news closely for a better part of a decade now, the oil industry did not reduce capacity due to renewables. They respond to price, especially higher cost productions like fracking and oil sand. Consistently low oil prices since 2014 crash has scared many investors away, and it'll take some time of consistently high oil price before investor confidence return.

Current high prices is a combination of inflation (primarily caused by money printing), OPEC+ not going full speed, and other high cost producers not ramping up due to lack of confidence.

I hope maybe I've made my case that it's more awkward, right? That is not to say that I don't know how to do it. It's just that, in the one case, I can do the job in one thoughtless action that lives so deeply in my muscle memory that I barely even consciously remember what the actual keystrokes involved are. By contrast, in the other, it takes several steps, some of which are likely to be small pauses to decide how to do the next step.
I think some people may be confused because in the case the the dude was some biz dev type, involved with Netflix _investing_ in the startup, then this arrangement (him being on their board, an advisor, have stock) is quite common. The difference is that here he was the IT director, and Netflix was a customer not an investor, and the arrangement wasn't disclosed.
It's weird to see hackers here posting this as AWS is literally the only web scale company I can actually talk to a person at to resolve rough edges.

This is both on retail side and AWS side.

My only request - do some more automated discovery and remediation tooling for VPC-classic accounts! It's annoying to figure out what needs to be handled there - give me a dashboard for this.
Currying is the answer to your question, regardless of any possible real world overhead, which can be optimized out. This is a proposal to modify the language we're discussing, so I'm assuming they can do the latter as part of the proposal if that were necessary.

Given

f :: a -> b
g :: (b, c) -> d
h = uncurry ((curry g) . f)

Then

h :: (a, c) -> d
I'm looking for a more efficient way of detecting errors in metrics that store running totals, such as Odometer. I use the delta of Odometer to compute Distance. But decreases in Odometer causes incorrect Distance calculations. Odometer should never decrease. It is an error if Odometer decreases. Would function pipelines be able to help me detect decreases in Odometer?
As a mobile dev, any effort to abstract away platform fragmentation craziness is highly commendable in my eyes. Excited to see where this takes you!
>If one cloud provider becomes dominant, Apple loses.

Apple has been basically funding Azure Expansion. Microsoft needed Apple to scale their Cloud business in a multi-year contract. And Apple using Microsoft to drive AWS price down. I think for one reason or another ( politics, strategic, or technical ) they have avoided GCP. Apple also partner with other Cloud Services Provider in different Region. And they are doing exactly what you described as Multi Cloud. Even their CDN are split between Akamai, ( used to be Limestone and they switch to something else I cant remember ) and their own.

I would not be surprised if their next move is to fund Cloudflare R2 Storage services. ( Once it becomes mature enough )

I think that LC style interviews are an attempt to solve for the fact that programming is a field where a few things happen to be true and broadly true:

1. Significant amounts of people cheated during college, and if asked probably wouldn't even identify their behavior as cheating.

2. Significant amounts of competent people don't even have a degree.

3. Many people with degrees are incapable of actually programming even basic algorithms.

4. There is an incredibly high demand for this job because of its pay, leading many people to pursue this job in the market that have no actual interest or aptitude for the work.

5. Significant amounts of people lie on their resume, or work for body shops that lie on their behalf with or without their knowledge.

These truths make it so that something like a degree is not a useful filter and create a situation where every job openings has thousands of applicants, the majority of which are not even remotely qualified. How do you filter out applicants rapidly to narrow down the number of people that your engineers take time away from producing value for the company to interview?

Personally, like every other engineer, I hate LC-style interviews, but at the same time, the issues they are intended to solve seem intractable any other way. Fundamentally the LC-interview is intended to be an on-the-spot test of your abilities because nothing on your resume or in your past credentials is trustworthy.
What's the explain plan for a pipeline like this look like?

In my experience one of the biggest things scaring devs away from moving more logic over the wire towards the db is lubrication between version control and database state. If I end up defining 10s or 100s of custom pipeline operators in git how do I keep that in sync with the db? and am I responsible for doing all that legwork myself?
I think that's the real issue here. The Korean company (probably Samsung or LG based on the implications here) didn't validate that this company had permission to lock these phones.

Things like these can happen by mistake (or incompetence, in this instance) and the unnamed company should have never let this happen.
I think you could consider looking out of the people under you as mouths to feed as moral.

It's impossible to calculate the moral implications of the entire world for every decision you make, but taking care of your own is a pretty easy start.
As someone who will be pulling their hair for the first few years it will have to be transpiled into obfuscated spaghetti code (and will be debugging/understanding it): Why do we need an operator just so people can write unreadable code. Instead of using... descriptively named variables?

// A. Status quo (as per the proposal)
console.log(
chalk.dim(
`$ ${Object.keys(envars)
.map(envar => `${envar}=${envars[envar]}`)
.join(' ')}`,
'node',
args.join(' ')
)
);

// With pipes (from the proposal)
Object.keys(envars)
.map(envar => `${envar}=${envars[envar]}`)
.join(' ')
|> `$ ${%}`
|> chalk.dim(%, 'node', args.join(' '))
|> console.log(%);

// A normal person who is able to write good code (me :P):
const envVars = Object.keys(envars).map(envar => `${envar}=${envars[envar]}`).join(' ');
const coloredText = chalk.dim('$ ' + envVars, 'node', args.join(' '));

console.log(coloredText);

I'm not seeing it... can someone help me understand? Why are their so many proposals trying to force alien syntax into JS from "functional" languages?

How do you manage cuda versions of pytorch? At the moment I'm using poethepoet to install them separately but it feels very suboptimal.
Not the OP, but absolutely yes to all those things, except being ironic.
It's not saying anything about why python is 'good' or 'easy' or whatever, which was the original claim.

Personally, I find very little attractive or easy or 'good' about Python. I've used it on a few occasions, and can get by, but pretty much nothing that people find attractive about it resonates with me. Couple that with answers to "why do you like python?" answered with "php sucks!" or "ruby is slow" or similar, and nothing much makes me want to dip my toes in that particular pool.
Like the example given in the article, I also take different routes from and to work regularly, with my bicycle. This habit developed naturally, I didn't really plan it. I was reflecting on why I do this, and your explanation of street continuation seems to be a better fit.

When I start in either direction, I do not have a clear heading of the destination, as there is no line of sight, so the pointiness from the article makes less sense. I guess continuing forward on the same street feels getting there faster, as making a turn feels slow.
The Hack-style pipes are immediately useful even when you introduce steps that are not unary functions.

With a lot of stdlib using functions / methods of higher arity, I suppose the Hack version will lead to shorter and easier-to-read pipes in most real codebases.
In the U.S. government. It happens some, but it totally illegal. It’s hard to get fired working for the U.S. government and this is one of the few ways you can get fired.
What a bunch of lunatics.
Kali didn't go on to the advisory board on behalf of Netflix - that would be perfectly rational.

Instead, the startup had to do 2 deals: One with Kali directly for "advice", and then a second with Netflix that Kali, in his capacity as a VP there, would sign.

Besides being unethical; this is now a clear conflict of interest. Netflix (and shareholders of Netflix by extension) may have signed up for a crappy product from the startup only because startup had a side deal with Kali.
I disagree. I actually think it’s a complicated problem because there’s so many issues that have to be solved all at once.

What has been happening is that someone writes a build tool to solve a specific problem that they have but they neglect to solve all the other ones. Why would they? They’re not being funded.

That’s what caused (and still causes) a lot of the churn in JS too.

This is immediately useful. The number of awkwardly nested subqueries that I write because I don't have this kind of functionality in BigQuery is a huge bummer.

Yeah, my issue was something similar. When I moved it to DigitalOcean, I was getting logs consistently (from my application) and I traced it to something that was misconfigured on my end, which was causing health checks to fail. It took a total of about 10 minutes to track and fix on DO, while I had already spent 2 days (and the $100) trying to figure it out on AWS.

I mean, the issue was my fault, but AWS made it incredibly painful to figure out and fix and was not helpful at all. I decided that day that I will never use AWS again, unless I have someone with a lot of AWS experience on the team (and even then, only if I have a good reason to use AWS, in my case there is a reason why AWS would perhaps be desirable in the future but not enough to go through the pain again myself).
In response to people repeatedly advocating for F# + partial application over Hack, TC39 responds with what is essentially a threat:

> To emphasize, it is likely that an attempt to switch from Hack pipes back to F# pipes will result in TC39 never agreeing to any pipes at all. PFA syntax is similarly facing an uphill battle in TC39 (see HISTORY.md).

While I can respect differences in opinion, this feels heavy handed.
Not in the UK (which is in Europe but no longer in the EU). Was planned before 2010 and then got scrapped by the subsequent government. What's in the works now?
Usually when employees can complete all their work in half the time, they end up with promotions; which means more work (expectations) and more pay. If a promotion isn't on the table, or the employee would rather stay where they are, why does it matter if they get their expected work done in less time if you expected the work you paid for to take more time? The amount of work given was obviously (or should have been) priced into the original salary.
People have literally run out of things to spend money on. What a time to be alive.

China-linked hacking group accessing calling records worldwide, CrowdStrike says
Agreed 100%. The problem is the regulations have increased the difficulty and stress of the job while the pay has steadily decreased. That’s why my solution is to pay more, not remove the regulations.

Though there is plenty of room for improvement in the regulations. They need to provide some leeway for drivers that have been stuck in traffic for hours and can’t complete a load that’s just a couple miles away.

Also, you have no idea how many truckers work around these regulations and go through insane hoops just so they can fudge the numbers. When you see that happening en masse, your regulations probably need some tuning.

For vast amounts of people (probably well over majority, but who knows), if it doesn't show up in a Google search, it might as well have been deleted from the internet. Hell, try running a business that doesn't show up in a Google search result. You might as well not exist.

EDIT: Also, keep in mind that many sites now use Google as their search tool. So going to the domain and searching for an article in their website that you've seen in the past wouldn't even work.

Probably at least a little: logistics has improved substantially since then. Also the value of the stuff in the truck is up, I'm not sure how that plays in.
The question I have is how much of that is actually different and how much is worse? I knew lots of communist/libertarian high schoolers. Teenagers get extreme views.

Also regarding the rate of book reading - could it be that your childhood was not the norm? I too read a lot, but I was the only one on the school bus home who did, and it was so remarkable I was picked on for it. And complaining about a lack of book reading could be like lamenting we aren't all reading the newspaper anymore either - does that mean our reading and writing is worse? Is the general essay writing of this decade actually provably that much worse than a decade or three ago? Is the general population actually less literate or can we not remember decades past?

I'm not saying you're entirely wrong, but there's some "old man yells at cloud" vibes here too.
> Most of these services tie back to an account (most with an actual email address).

Indeed, that design helps address the problem. But it also has implications for signup flow as you now need an email — which is why I'm advocating that engineers "consider" the issue.

Sheesh, where's that hostility coming from?
The shady-sounding plot was described by the government during a criminal trial earlier this year in San Jose federal court. Kail was found guilty of more than two dozen fraud and money laundering counts. At his sentencing Oct. 19, prosecutors will ask that he get a stiff punishment of seven years in prison as well as be ordered to pay fines, restitution, and forfeit a $3.3 million home in Los Gatos, California.

That seems pretty stiff. goes to show how while collar crimes are not punished more leniently and how being rich does not shield one from justice, hardly.

There's a huge difference between angel investors taking a share of the company and acting as an advisor and what happened here.

When you talk to these angel investors, do they offer you contracts for your new company at their existing companies? Like if you sell product X as part of your new company, are they saying they'll make sure the companies they're involved with buy product X if you give them shares of the company and cash kickbacks? If not then your comparison doesn't hold.
And once again HN becomes the escalation end point for Google support. I wish they’d throw the internet a bone and put 1% of revenue into support.

Edit: I do t actually know how much they invest in support. It may be a lot higher than 1%. Regardless, the number of “Google screwed me and won’t answer the phone.” articles we see is scary.
I don't really disagree. Just because there's a potential conflict of interest doesn't mean there's corruption. And the further you get from large companies with internal audit teams and established procurement practices the fewer controls there are the murkier things can get.

Per the peer comment, if you don't disclose the conflict, and let the BoD decide what to do in light of that conflict, then you're into the realm of looking like you're hiding something.
