Haskell was always intended as a research language to promote innovation in computer science rather than as a general-purpose language trying to achieve mass adoption. In fact, "avoid success at all costs"[1] was the slogan they chose to reinforce the idea that the goal was not to achieve widespread usage. I'm not a serious haskell programmer, but I would heartily recommend messing around with it for a few weeks to anyone who wants to learn more about functional programming. It will expand your mind. One of my favourite ever hacking experiences was putting together a toy relational algebra in haskell over a weekend inspired by the string and list fusion papers (never actually managed to persuade ghc to actually optimise the fusion parts properly but that's another story).

Rust appears to have an entirely different goal, which is to take everything that has been learned over the last 40+ years of practical systems programming, and make a language that provides safety, speed and concurrency and works well for teams of programmers on large projects. [2] In that sense, it really is looking for wide adoption for the sorts of projects C and C++ have been used for during that time.

In its original version (Smalltalk and Ruby), this talk always struck me as a sort of fun polemic that probably didn't warrant too much serious thought, but here it's been stretched beyond belief, so I'm pretty surprised it's being posted here. Just as an example from the first paragraph, is there really anyone who seriously thinks rust is "Haskell without higher-kinded types"? That substitution has just been made because it vaguely fits the format of the original talk, but is just wildly off-base.

Node just makes it visible and in your face by putting the node_modules in you project directory.

Besides, what’s the alternative? Write stuff yourself? Put stuff in language stdlib? Even minimal service requires _a lot_ of things to do minimal stuff.
> I will never let myself nor anyone I care about fly on a 737 Max.

I feel the exact same way. Note that they are no longer marketing it as a "Max". You've got to look at the winglets and the engines to be sure.

> Even if I could be confident in the plane, I cannot forgive nor forget all the people who needlessly died.

Actually, there are arguments for and against being able to be confident in the hardware itself. The engines are in the wrong place, simply. They engineered computer-aided pilot assist systems to compensate for that. I've heard pilots and engineers weigh in on both sides of the debate. But everyone agrees that a plane like that would never be designed from the ground up. It is literally a stack of patches.
Alacritty. Not as featureful which is rather a plus for me.
That’s a very condescending way of say “I don’t personally like this feature”.
Lets look at a recent real world scenario. The eastern block countries, experienced the fall of the USSR as an event that forced all of them to attempt to change their culture.

Some tried “the prudent” approach - change as little as possible, wait until you understand what the diff between west and east is, don’t rock the boat too much. Some were collectively so disgusted that attempted to change as much as possible as quickly as possible. And since there was a wide range of those countries with varying degrees of “rate of cultural change” you could really study the results. Those that changed more and faster, ended up much better than the “slow and steady” approach.

In my humble opinion what’s going on here is not that changing a society quickly is better, its that there is not just the society you live in. You might not understand why certain things are in either, but you can certainly observe the results.

A lot of the baltic state’s citizens didn’t _really_ understand how the west was structured, but they liked the results and figured “they must be doing something right”.

You don’t have to understand the intricacies of the finish educational system, but I bet that if you tried to emulate it, you’d get decent results.

Revolutions like the French one led to terrible consequences in the end, mostly because people didn’t know what they were doing, and they just made it up as they went along. But we don’t live in a world like that anymore. We have countless examples of ideas from other cultures we can emulate and know at least the direction they would push society. At least that’s my humble opinion.

I’m always inspired by Rwanda’s story - such an incredibly troubled place, and the president upon taking power - packed his bags and _just traveled_ along the world with his cabinet to investigate why some small newly developed countries were successful. Talk to them, emulate it and low and behold - it helped their country enormously.
>I think it's probably nuanced? Like if a game warden sees you unload game from your truck them maybe they can go into your home without a warrant?

Honestly, I find it amazing that so many people let these things into their homes. The price you pay for such little actual utility isn't worth it. I won't use voice recognition on a single device. Not only do I not trust Google/Amazon, I don't trust that I wouldn't accidentally say something that triggers it to phone a person I'm talking about, or order something expensive in the internet. Home Assistant on my phone and lots of physical zigbee controllers works just fine for me. I don't want to talk to my devices.

I have an in-law who uses voice recognition to dictate messages into WhatsApp extended family group and some of the shit she's posted is hilariously (unintentionally) spicy. Her kids get into stupid "conversations" with Alexa. They're 8. Just no.

Exactly. I'll add that the universal healthcare question is IMHO, underrated in it's power to reveal how close to a "progressive utopia" a place really is.

I have considered moving to the USA (which is a viable option for me, for reasons that I wont go into here), and the question "but, which state?" always stops me. I start with the revealing question "what's the guns-to-healthcare ratio there?"

Much like you program any other computer. At my shop we use C, C++ and Ada. Some problems suit themselves well to modeling, so something like Simulink can be used (which translates to C++). What throws people off is usually the fact that these are hard real-time systems (requires a different mindset) and that some functions are distributed across multiple computers.
This is not exactly true. The restriction in question is the Fourth Amendment, which generally protects citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures --- agents of the state have to obtain a search warrant from a judge before they can search private property.

In general in the last century the Supreme Court has interpreted the Fourteenth Amendment as "incorporating" the Bill of Rights. Although the Bill of Rights was originally written to apply specifically to the federal government, the Due Process clause of the 14th Amendment has been read as applying these protections to state governments as well.

In particular, in Mapp v. Ohio in 1961 the Supreme Court held that under the Due Process clause the Fourth Amendment's prohibition of arbitrary search and seizure applies to state governments as well.
There are only two things at play here: money and energy.

Money is believed to be finite, but in truth it's infinite.

Energy is believed to be infinite, but apparently it's finite.

Who could have guessed that coal, oil and gas are stored sunlight that landed on this planet millions of years back.

And then you have men that used money and energy to build this computer network and now we realize only 1% of that networks potential has been tapped because software has been bloated 100x since the C64 for zero benefit.

We know there is a 100x to be found but we don't really know how, where or when yet, but everyone is FOMOing around to see where the next liquidity hole will be. Better not miss it this time!

VR is one of those liquidity trap dead ends, because the more you look at energy and money the more you'll see that you cannot have 90+FPS on two eyes and still afford the electricity bill unless you are ok with Doom levels of details and more importantly only one player (ready player one?).

What I believe is the real immersion/presence enhancement is the merger of Everquest and 3D Mario/Zelda. 1000+ player action MMO with real-time physics, no rubberbanding, open-source, open interfaces and fair licensing.

Lower energy consumption, the right to make money and since hardware has provably peaked, probably for eternity; you can build something today that lasts potentially forever, it's truly the opportunity of eternity!

We cannot print energy, so if you are still working for the old system it's time to quit, everything is a scam except what you build from scratch on the internet.

If someone is calling me a cheater and a liar, I will at least say they are wrong.
Hey there I teach people to code some of them I teach web.

I think the easiest way to go about this, is to learn how to fly a plane. Then once you've learnt that you can kinda learn it piece by piece. IE: it's easier to teach someone how to drive a car first before teaching them how to mod it and write a self-driving program for it.

But, then again, some mechanical engineers learn how to build planes, before knowing how to fly a plane.

It really helps if you can reach out to someone in that industry and they can show you the ropes

Why would anyone be scared to fly on the most scrutinized plane in history? I certainly don't care. All of the pilots flying the MAX would now receive even more in-depth training on the quirks of the new systems.

Chances of critical incident are practically zero. 180 countries have re-certified the plane and design changes were made as well.

If you don't trust the FAA or the 179 other authorities, how do you step on ANY plane?

Additionally, you don't trust the MAX yet you trust Boeing (you didn't mention their other planes)? If Boeing is negligigent, it's unlikely it's limited to a specific product. How can you then trust maintenance programs and spare parts provided by Boeing for the Dreamliner for example?

If Boeing is incompetent, trusting the Dreamliner but not the MAX is irrational.

Not me... My phone and desktop have been on silent with all notifications off since summer of 99'... My family hates me because I'm always missing calls, but I sleep like a rock.

Navigation voice is also off in my car ritually since it started talking too much and unnecessarily pointing out places of interest, I always miss turns but oh well. No big deal.

I still wonder if there is a Google assistant command to turn ringers on and off though, maybe one year I'll look it up. I have a feeling that one day soon we may not have a choice of turning notifications off because it gets in the way of fake manufacturer notifications though...

There's a bunch of evil ManuFacturers out there lately creating fake notifications.
The key thing is that one of the directory services you can use via JNDI is "java", which is a process-local configuration store present by default in enterprise (Java EE) applications. An enterprise web server can run multiple "applications" at once, and each one gets its own configuration in the java directory service.

So, if you have defined a configuration variable app-name-for-logging, then you can look up:

java:comp/env/app-name-for-logging

to get the value. If you are writing a generic logging utility which works across many applications, it might be useful to use this to choose the log file, or just include it in the log output.

The easiest implementation of this was just to allow generic JNDI lookups, which includes LDAP.

What i can't explain is why anyone would legitimately use this feature to make JNDI lookups. It should have been scoped to only lookups in java:comp/env, not arbitrary ones.
It only takes visiting one site / using one app to have your ipv6 leaked and added to a database of ips that should be scanned.
Some states have stronger protections in their state constitutions than the federal constitution provides. Montana, for instance, explicitly provides a right to privacy, whereas a "right to privacy" is at best implicit in the US Constitution.

No.

A nebuliser is a medical device that turns a known, regulated, controlled substance into particulates, which will be inhaled in a couple of seconds.

Or, one of

b) it's not possible, _within the USA as it currently operates_.

c) Related to b, power to "create a progressive city" doesn't actually lie with the "supermajority" of voters, but with a few powerful people who are fine with things the way they are.

It will depend on your use-case, but primarily:

(1) Pinecone uses dense vectors which can encode much more meaningful info, eg the actual 'semantic meaning' behind a sentence as we (people) would understand it, or the context in an image. Because of this, we can enable much richer, human-like interaction/search in your applications

(2) Performance wise, before joining Pinecone I was spending a lot of time with other dense vectors search tools like Faiss, and it isn't easy to get good or even reasonable accuracy and latency, particularly for large datasets. When I first used Pinecone, it took me maybe 10 minutes to figure everything out and start querying a reasonable dataset, search times were very fast and the accuracy incredible. Pinecone's tech is built by people that live and breath vector search, and what they've built outperforms anything I can build, even if I spend months trying to build it. I got better performance with Pinecone in 10 mins.

(3) Everything is production ready, no need to worry about deployment, security, maintenance etc, Pinecone deal with it and you can even use the service for free up to 1M vectors.

I have set up a Rhasspy instance on a Pi 3A (using a Seedstudio microphone HAT) and it works decently, although it is by no means Siri/Alexa grade.

I would say it is good enough to tinker with, although clearly not yet up to par (mind you, I am also trying it in English).
