What features of clojure do you feel make you more productive?

I’m primarily a python user, but I spent time writing code in Ocaml to understand the potential benefits, but… (I would love to have my mind changed)… it feels like many of the features people touted about Ocaml have already made their way into python…?

1. Immutability / referential transparency seem more like nice-to-haves for a codebase, rather than the real reason people tout FP…?

2. Sum/product types and pattern matching are being added soon to python

3. Mypy is starting to gradually enable python typing, although I assume it’s still a work in progress

4. Python allows us to use map/reduce, and to pass functions around as arguments…?

I want to understand the potential benefits of FP more, but my experience with Ocaml hasn’t shown me great improvements yet. Open to having my mind changed.
The Twitter suggested content when you open this tweet (in a tab without twitter login) is insanity crank stuff: anti-vaxxers, LGBT hate, Scott Adams, Posobiec/Pool/Ben Shapiro, race hate...

Put another way, "good taste" is like universal ethics. There's no such thing as "universal taste" (as in, God did not ordain something to have the quality of "good taste"), but, most people can agree that they like a thing (an "agreement of taste"). Former doesn't exist but latter does. Tastes shift over time indicating that a "universal taste" doesn't exist.

When the term "good taste" is used though, it seems to allude to "universal taste". I don't think people mean "what everyone likes" ("agreement of taste") when they refer to "good taste", otherwise all of the "gaudy" leopard-print clothing of yesteryear would be "good taste". "Good taste" means, to most people, "rich people value this, for whatever reason"
For strategy, the best quick start I've seen is a strategic balanced scorecard, and it leads directly to OKRs and KPIs.

Describe what your organization/project will look like, at an agreed future date, such as one year from now. 1. What are the financial highlights such as sales and investments? 2. What are the external highlights such as customers and vendors? 3. What are the internal highlights such as processes and employees? 4. What are the learning and growth areas such as research and upskilling?

That’s unfortunate, as is the whole situation. My thought was it should protect your job/insurance and you’d have to still just pay your normal premiums. Potential loss of income depending on how your company handles that (my and my wife’s company has always opted to pay us). We paid the out of pocket maximum, something like $10K and that was it, realize that’s a substantial amount for some. I’d agree with the overall sentiment of the discussion, we should move towards a system that is predictable and humane and not so heavily tied to your employer at the moment. I work in healthcare industry for past 20 years (corp finance) and am continually perplexed by how silly things are.

If anyone else reading is ever in a similar situation talk to your HR department. I help HR departments negotiate things all the time. A common thing is taking an LOA and the company will pay your COBRA premiums. They don’t have to, it’s technically unpaid time, but if you have some savings and insurance is your barrier this is actually kind of common. But again, I’m in healthcare industry so YMMV.
Wauw, amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your story!
>"So if you want to discard the concept of good taste, you also have to discard the concept of good art. And that means you have to discard the possibility of people being good at making it"

This is I think the central argument of the piece and I think it is very wrong. He conflates the notion of goodness in a teleological sense with proficiency. When people talk about good or bad taste they try to make an objective claim about the purpose of art, that's to say what end a piece of art serves, or to judge the quality of what it ultimately expresses.

You can be 'good' in the sense of proficient on utterly meaningless tasks. Someone can memorize ten thousand digits of a random sequence. You can be good or bad at it, and we can objectively figure out if you are, but the task isn't objectively meaningful.

To say that there is no good or bad taste is to say there is, ultimately no non-subjective standard for a piece of art. This does not imply that any subject that produces art cannot be judged on their merits by their own standards.
Databricks is way more than hadoop or spark. A great analogy - Spark is a great engine but you need to design and build all of the other subsystems.

Databricks is an F1 car - everything is built out. You get in and drive - FAST.
Also, keep in mind rents only ever go up (barring a major economy crash) and mortgages only ever go down or stay same.

Long time ago when I was renting, my rent (Silicon Valley) was $1200. I bought a very similarly-sized house and my monthly costs went up to ~$3000. So it hurt for a little while.

In just a couple years I had refinanced down to a sub-$2000 mortgage and the rent on my previous place was up to $1500. Getting close to even already.

Couple decades later, rent over there is up around $5000 and my mortgage has been refinanced down to $800.

By the time I'm retired my mortgage will be $0 and rents might be $8000 or more, let's see what future inflations brings.

My advice to anyone early in their career, just buy a home as soon as you can. It'll hurt initially for a few years but you'll set yourself up for a lifetime of being better off than renting.

> My understanding is it's not a complete mitigation but does make exploitation harder.

It won't. It's designed to counter silicon limitations to increased density, i.e. it's made to correct the errors that result from packing cells beyond the limit of error-free operation.

The extra redundancy from on-chip ECC is intended to be "consumed" by the chip itself, and since this will allow optimizing chip manufacture to denser and cheaper, it's no question at all that it will get pushed to the very limit.

There's still "classic" ECC for DDR5. 8 bits mapped to 9, terminated at the CPU which can look at things. That's what I want, need, and will buy.

P.S.: Shame on Intel for still walling off desktop CPUs from ECC. https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/search/featurefi...

Right now you probably can't experiment coding with .net 6 on Linux (I'm not sure with VSCode but it didn't work for me last week with Rider so I'm still on .net 5).

So if you wait a few weeks to get full support assuming you want an IDE experience and not running everything from the console:

- if you want free (as in beer): Visual Studio Code
- if you have a Jetbrains license or don't mind paying for one: Rider
Ahh, fair enough there. That said, snowflake would help their case if they would actually do at least one actual tpc.org third party result
Aside from the UX question you've got, which I haven't had time to look at (sorry). We've shipped a pure C version of "add -i" that's been on if you've enabled feature.experimental=true since v2.29.0.

It looks like the ball may have been dropped on opting users in to it by default, but in any case there's numerous bugs in "git add -p" and "git add -i" that got fixed along the way, and fixing existing ones should be a lot easier now.

Note: I've also worked on the perl compiler/interpreter in a past life, so it's not that I'm afraid of hacking on Perl, but doing so in the context of the Git project is and was always particularly painful. If something's written in C you could use all the APIs git had internally, but anything in .sh or .perl was usually stuck parsing text, or reinventing the wheel.

Yes, someone who isn't deaf. "Hearing" or "hearing person" is the vernacular used in the deaf community. It can be important to establish depending on the context. In this case I wanted to make it clear that I was learning ASL despite not being deaf.
I mean, not just perception issues, but also the fact that you're inherently setting yourself up to build a platform with a core userbase of "People banned from [the more popular version of the platform they're cloning]." You build VidMe and the first people interested in VidMe are people that got kicked off of YouTube, which it turns out are rarely oppressed free speech advocates and much more often trolls and similarly unwanted individuals. If your userbase is entirely toxic, nobody wants to stay there, and your platform never really succeeds because of that.

It's worth noting that I'm loosely parroting the content of a Folding Ideas video[1] that covers the discussion of the creator vs platform relationship overall.

Whoa now, how did we start talking about lightning? Has it been lightning all the time? Because that's always supported instant, near-free transactions (with a _bunch_ of problems too, that I'll not worry about).
That's correct, there may be some very obscure edge cases where it has different behavior (known merge-recursive bugs), but in the general case if you've got UX problems with rebase or merge it won't help.

Unless that UX problem is helped by it being much, much faster, but that's usually only going to be matter for larger repositories.

There have been many things which go into many directions. However, your social circle provides a biased sample of that to you. I don't actually know which political direction you're arguing is being victimized. But a biased sample will lead people on both sides to feel like they're the victims since that's what they see more of.

"...and even if I were to do that I would still feel like a massive screw-up for going back to university in my 30s."

No need to feel like a screw-up. While most students may be in their early 20s, there are plenty of people in similar situations to yours, including those who went into the military to pay for college.
This is priceless.

Thank you!
Clickhouse is good if you're building application. It has lot of great features and incredible performance, but there's an expectancy that people using it know what they're doing and can work around its limitations (like limited support for joins and sql in general).

Something like Snowflake works much better when you're building a platform that you can give to two hundred data analysts or various skills spread over fifty teams, so they can build their own stuff. The nice UI, broad feature set (materialized views, time travel, automatic backups, superfast scaling up and down, ...) and general just-work-iness makes it nice for that, but you're going to pay for the privilege.

Databricks is somewhere in the middle - things are way less polished, features don't always work and you still have to figure out things like backups and partitions on S3 on your own, but some people like that. Expect to also pay a pretty penny for hundreds of Spark clusters nobody knows who uses.
They bet on hydrogen vs electric cars, and that didn't pay off. They're already good at making ICE vehicles, so rather make up for a huge amount of lost time and effort, it's a bid to keep the current business going.
My advice is to drop the bank now, after testing a replacement- there are plenty of smaller and "neo banks" looking to have your business with real development teams. I use the big, old and stogy bank of America but I have never had a complaint using desktop Linux and Firefox / chrome there.

If you're ok with living in a homeless encampment and putting the money into ETFs, sure.

Otherwise, you still need to rent so might as well buy.
Man I remember drifting around the internet and finding the blog post about purchasing song .MP3s in a market and transferring them over bluetooth. At the time that seemed like such a cool and unexpected alternate evolution of purchasing songs from itunes.
This is something so many big companies do, and I hate it. Every 6 months it seems Spotify has to change their UI and make it harder to find what I want. Just make a decent UI and stick to it. I don't understand why there are redesigns over and over and over. My assumption is that it keeps people employed, even if they aren't necessarily needed. It at least takes away from more important issues being taken care of.
Exactly. I find that using art of all things to make an argument about good taste is particularly ironic, given that historically, art has always been a vehicle for shaking the status quo.

I mean, look at Andy Warhol or Banksy or Robert Rauschenberg or Bill Watterson or any of hundreds of examples that clearly fall way outside the "Renaissance = good" bubble.
I think people only have opinions because of what they have heard from the media. I don't get why it's not reported in more neutral terms - "Incident at protest leaves two dead, one wounded. 'Self-defense' says shooter." Then describe the circumstances as they are on video or given by eye witnesses.

Instead, media outlets seem to obfuscate and sensationalize the story and imply wrongdoing or bias by the criminal justice system.
All publicity is good publicity.

I really wish there was an "executive" graduate degree for people like you. Executive MBA's exist for people working and wanting an MBA, I feel like a software engineering degree could work the same way.

Sure it would take twice the time, but unlike an undergrad you could study through the summer while working. Companies could even half fund this to upskill their workforce while retaining staff.

With so much education happening online, this should pre-eminently possible!
No. I don't agree, I'm saying the None is better so long as you encode the concept of a None into the type. This is done by converting an Int into Optional[Int].

> How do you know? Do you have source on that? It doesn't stand to reason that the cost of excess electricity produced by renewables should be carried by anyone else but the producers of such electricity.

If they're acting on normal motives, they won't produce any excess specifically because they would have to share in paying the cost.

At least with any kind of bid for production system.

I could imagine a system where negative or too-low prices trigger targeted punishment, as far as I know that would be very different from what we have. For a normal market, if prices go too low then renewables can just say "okay we're offering zero power to sell right now".

> You still have wasted potential energy from curtailment. Increasing the rollout strictly increases that waste. Therefore, it is reasonable to put that energy into fuel production, especially considering that the best combination of volatile renewables today is natural gas, which can be regulated quickly.

Yep, all true.

You mean enterprise-y.
> criticism is equivalent to competence

I think we're seeing the consequences of this sort of postmodern thinking playing out "in the field" today. Everyone's an expert, so no one is. Everyone's an armchair epidemiologist. We aren't ignorant or ill-educated, we're "just asking questions".

There's something there that I can't put my finger on regarding the poisonous way we promise everyone that they can be anything. You, too, can earn $10k a month in your underwear via dropshipping. You, too, have the world's information at your fingertips, so nothing's keeping you from being an expert! You, too, can produce professional-quality video; all you need is the latest iPhone. And so on. I think it generates a lot of unspoken societal resentment towards people who are actually good at these things, because people who fail to reach that level of skill after 30 minutes are implicitly made to feel like they're doing something wrong.
Ask HN: Do you listen to anything while working?
I have found that music (and sound in general) can be a very powerful tool to help focus. But it goes both ways. Listening to the right, repetitive song or noises can help me achieve my focused "flow state" much faster. Conversely, listening to new music, music with lyrics, or any irregular noises will destroy my concentration pretty fast.

For me, I think it comes down to isolating myself from unexpected stimuli while trying to focus. Listening to a video game song on loop, relatively loudly to block out external noise, is something that has worked well for me.

However, everybody is different. Do you listen to music / white noise / etc while working? If so, what's your go-to?
I agree that it’s an important and persuasive point (and well made!) but I’d also argue that it’s not true that the simulation entirely disappears in those moments. There’s definitely _something_ like that going on, but sometimes once the flash of adrenaline is over the simulation returns and your aesthetic experience physical and real quickly resumes its relationship to the convoluted web or narratives and signs that are proposed to construct the world of meaning. And perhaps more and more experiences that we think should be “real” (eg: parents watching their children at play) are instead becoming further entangled in this web.
> I look around and see the cool jobs in 3D graphics, in distributed systems, in machine learning, or other "hard computer science" fields, and it feels like I will never be qualified without a graduate degree

I have an engineering degree and masters in CS. That stuff looks impossible to me as well. However, I know some people who work in similar fields with very little formal education.

I'm not saying it won't help, I'm just saying it is neither the only door to those "hard" fields, nor it is a guarantee that those subjects will suddenly start making more sense.
If anyone is looking for context: the article links to a subreddit, which states [1]:

There might be a middle ground here between forcing men to spend less time at work and offering them the opportunity to spend more time at home if they want to. Everyone is unique, but I know a number of fathers who would have liked to take more time off for their kids and would have chosen to if they had the opportunity, I suspect the ratio here may be higher than you expect.

> Also, the gender gap is not a thing. There are so many variables that go into salaries that any argument around the topic is just an attempt at making a political statement.

The gender gap was the explanation mbesto gave for why paid family leave for women might be opposed even by women. If the gender gap doesn't exist, and unbalanced paid time off between genders won't drive increased wage differences, then it seems like it might be fine to ignore mbesto's worry and just offer women that time off regardless of what paternal leave policies are.
Databricks is a shit platform that encourages terrible data practices and accretion of technical debt.
I'm using Visual Studio without Resharper since 2009. What did I miss? :p

I never felt I was lacking anything in stock Visual Studio and since my company won't pay for anything I never considered Resharper.

Fwiw I have Linux at home and trying Rider (I have used Android Studio before) I much prefer Visual Studio.
