> Does Ada support lambdas ?

No, but you can declare functions inside functions and also use function pointers. When I started using Ada I thought this was a huge issue, but I haven't run into problems with it in practice.
The simplest and most effective hack I’ve found to curb my Twitter usage is to just log out every time I’m done browsing and set a time once I log in on how long I want to spend scrolling. If I’m logged out, it prompts me with the login screen and I have to really decide if I want to spend time on social media at that moment.
Comprehension, like list comprehension, might be a better term
Proof-of-stake is a funny one. Means those with the most money control the money system. Might not be the best idea.

Proof-of-work is an ecological disaster though.

Cryptocurrency is not really a good idea IMO.
There's crypto and then there's crypto grifters. Most of these projects have a crypto "theme", they're not "crypto" themselves.

The central bank monetary policies of the past years have favored mindless investment, which allowed a flurry of projects to get outsized funding by sprinkling crypto pixie dust to get investments (just like so many did previously with "ML"). These 9-10 figure valuations don't bring them actual legitimacy from crypto people. This doesn't make them "crypto".

A custodian exchange trading cryptocoins is not crypto, a custodian wallet helping celebrities buy NFTs is not crypto, a seller of collectible cards on a centralized DB like Flow that you can eventually maybe transfer to an actual decentralized network is not crypto.

True. CORS exists because the web browser would send the user's cookies (ie auth) for your site to you, when the user doesn't think they are on your site, but it's really malicious code from another site the user was visiting, acting as the user on your site without the user's knowledge.

Thats the threat model CORS is meant to address. Not just in general that a web host might not want a request from "anywhere" happening, but that site B might not want an authenticated request on behalf of User X to site B being made by code from site A.

It means it’s less likely than other more compelling explanations.

For instance, South Africa has previously observed similar huge evolutionary jumps in single immunosuppressed patients with HIV. A similar case was observed in Europe with leukaemia.

The case distribution and timing makes it extremely likely that it emerged in the region, yes.

Given the evidence, the only reason for claiming that vaccine selective pressure is the only or even most likely explanation is a statement driven by ideology not reality.
Parent's point is that you'd be a lot less likely complain about even worse data collection if you lived in China, and it was done in the name of the "people" - but you wouldn't be quieter because you really believed it was for the people. You'd be quieter because you were scared to say things about the System.

You're lucky to live in a System that pays you to have a public opinion about it.

Typical use is: transfer funds from an exchange wallet to your metamask wallet -> use metamask to register your ENS name -> choose your twitter handle as your .eth name -> oops, you just very publicly and irreversibly told all the world about your exchange wallet history.

These are indeed though questions. In one hand we care for and have a responsibility for our partner, we wish them well, we try hard to help lift them up, to get them the adequate care they need. On the other hand how could we have known beforehand that this was how the relationship was going to be? How much are we willing to sacrifice for trying to improve things? The more time the couple spends together, the harder it will be to part ways.

In the end I believe the answers to these questions will vary a lot depending on each specific situation, there's no "right" answer. Sometimes you will want to stick to it, and you'll be able to overcome these challenges together. Other times you might not be so luck. All in all if you decide to part ways do so peacefully and respectfully to your partner, and if possible check on him/her every once in a while if that's not too harsh for you.

As far as user-hostility on the web and in consumer products and services goes: it's there because there is no good honest economic model.

Everything online has to be free, which means companies have to find some sneaky underhanded way to finance it. They have to find a way to monetize you since you won't pay, and in many cases you can't pay because there is no good mechanism.

People will retort by pointing out that many things you pay for have adopted user-hostile practices too. That's true. The problem is that without a simple honest economic model it is impossible to do business online in any other way. an honest straightforward economic model is necessary but not sufficient to create products and services that are not user-hostile.

The other ingredient that must be there is user preference. People have to vote with their wallets and go toward ecosystems that don't treat them this way. But if there are none to begin with because everything has to be "free," then people don't even have that option.

... and no, open source is not an option for non-technical users. If my time is valued at $80/hour and I have to spend two hours a month maintaining something, that thing costs $160/month. That's pricey.

Edit: The "constant release" pressure is a kind of SEO phenomenon. Searches tend to use liveness as a lazy metric of quality. People do this too. So something that's constantly pushing out trivial releases looks more alive.
This applies quite generically to coaching as well: if the person you're listening to uses a certain word to describe something, continue to use that word yourself instead of trying to paraphrase it.

In that sense, you're sticking to one word for a concept, but the word is given to you by someone else. And by using their terminology and not your own refactoring, you are making sure that you're not distracting them from their own thinking.
Even then I personally don't really see how this is useful in practice. Of course an immutable and verifiable ledger sounds interesting, but the problem is the connection to the real world. The moment I want to use this ledger to prove anything about the real world I need some kind of trusted authority again to enforce or validate my claim. And in that case a plain old database would work better.

You are confusing First Past the Post with Single Member Electorates.

At the most recent House election, 12 electorates were won by the candidate that was in second-place based on the first preferences (ie, the result differed from that under FPTP). Interestingly the Greens' seat was not one of these - Bandt lead on the first preferences and would have won under FPTP.

Single Member Electorates will often lead to overall non-proportional outcomes.
> Nobody is forced to continue using dark-pattern software

Moreover, no one is forced to write dark pattern software. It's probably safe to say that most dark-pattern software is the result of a voluntary, monetary transaction between employer and employee. People are knowingly writing this software on purpose, for money.

Let's see a show of hands of people in this community who wrote dark pattern software for their boss instead of quitting. Where is this software coming from if not from a community of people like the ones here at Hacker News?
My circle also just use "code" as far as I'm aware, though I tend to think of it as a definition instead. Template would also fit but you can use templates within Terraform so that could be confusing.
imho CORS is poorly designed mechanism, you should be able to flag api.domain.com as a safe place, making a single cors request at start of user interaction with your app.
Also some sort of caching should be more than welcome.

On a side note at previous company I've worked at, speed was critical, so we were forced to do same tactic, use /api instead of api.domain.com which resulted in huge improvements :)

I found really amusing to see people posting quite strong and definitive opinions about something that is still very vague and, for all intents and purposes, not set in stone. It could be all of that, of course— until is not.

It's a good example of pareidolia. Like seeing an elephant in a cloud. The moment you stop to comment on its features, it turns into a giraffe.
Interestingly, your hacky workaround to client non-cooperation sounds very much like what others are suggesting as their first-choice solution anyway!

See for instance this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29778528 Which suggests implementing the CORS response in a reverse proxy or some other covering layer.

And of course the OP also involves a reverse-proxy, although one mapping to avoid the need for CORS headers.
Name seemed familiar. It’s a play on the name of a guy from Greek mythology. Daedalus.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daedalus

Father of Icarus. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icarus

> Icarus and Daedalus attempt to escape from Crete by means of wings that Daedalus constructed from feathers and wax. Daedalus warns Icarus first of complacency and then of hubris, instructing him to fly neither too low nor too high, lest the sea's dampness clog his wings or the sun's heat melt them. Icarus ignores Daedalus’s instructions not to fly too close to the sun, causing the wax in his wings to melt. He tumbles out of the sky, falls into the sea, and drowns. The myth gave rise to the idiom "don't fly too close to the sun".

I've heard from 3 different pilots from three different ME airlines, that the locals are untouchable, and get away with all sorts of bullshit that expats would get fired in an instant for.

There are two or three pilots in every cockpit. If two or three pilots miss something that checklists should have picked up, that suggests it's not the individuals, but the airline and it's processes that are at fault.
I used to be an instant-coffee person. I bought myself an aeropress and a Severin KM3873 grinder as a Christmas gift three years ago – with the idea that I'd sell it away if I found myself not using it – and discovered that:

- I'm using it daily;

- I actually like black coffee (I used to put milk in it but do so rarely these days, and when I do I make myself a proper aerolatte macchiato);

- supermarket coffee is gross;

- beans matter (origin, arabica/robusta ratio, how they're roasted etc).

For the beans, I'm using a Colombian/Brasilian/Peruvian arabica x Indian robusta blend, heavily roasted, with no acidic hints. Most often I make aeropresso and extend it with a lot of hot water, yielding a mild americano.

Sometimes I experiment. Just yesterday I had a stab at a Canarian-style barraquito. Came out good!

Agree with the other commenters - it's not sad to admit to designing your environment in a way that is conducive to good habits. I use something similar to the timer container method as well.

It's still very young. If crypto gets relevant adoption, it'll be impossible to discern legitimate transactions from illegitimate ones. If it's technologically impossible, you can have all the laws you want - you're not able to enforce them. People will have their official wallets for tax collection and their anonymous ones for everything else (and will do their main transactions with them).

> buying things directly with crypto will become more widespread

I'm expecting this to be the case if adoption happens.
This study only looked at seropositives, either vaccine or natural immunity. That exposure to covid or even its spike (ie vaccine) increases cross reactivity protection isn’t new (this is why we are still using WT based vaccines for revaccination).

I still haven’t seen any study on naive omicron infected cross reactivity to other variants, specially over the RBD.
But in practice, what new applications does this actually unlock? When do you need to cut out the middleman to this extent? For serious transactions you typically want a reputable middleman who is licensed and insured and accountable to the justice system. Blockchain sounds good, except that now you lose all of those legal and financial guarantees and have to track everything yourself. And everything you do is probably now public, too.

I don’t think this is a failure of imagination as much as a sober awareness of the many problems with blockchain. I will say that some alt coins have much better privacy properties so hey, there could be more to all this in a few years.
I’m under the same impression :)
Thanks for the explanation! With the exception of the implication that Krakenkasses aren’t required to be available to all (why? Strange that there would be age/employment requirements), that sounds excellent, at least from a US perspective. I think a public option that can negotiate and isn’t just a price taker goes a long way to reining in the excesses of the private options and the providers, if they want to remain competitive. We don’t really have that normalizing force in the US. But it’s nice to retain the private options so you have the option to pay more for better/quicker service.
Incredible! Good Job Dustin. Now you can create a software store where you sell different tools that run on this OS and you have yourself a OSasS (Operating System As A Service).
Ask HN: What is the annual cost of your equipment?
What is the average yearly cost of your computer + other accessories, software subscriptions, that you use for development.

Please include a list of the items. The cost for hardware would be to divide the total price to the number of expected years you would use it.

If you like, you can include your annual income to compare the cost to revenue proportionally.

My favourite WTF regarding the N64 controller was that it apparently re-zeroed the center point on startup but didn't monitor the range of readings in any way. So in some games you could speed hack by holding the joystick downwards/backwards on startup and and generate faster-than-100% run speeds.
It's the global economic system, and it's incentives and structures drive decisions that individuals and companies make. Seems pretty relevant to this discussion, and most discussions since many if not most of our choices are economic ones.

An addon that existed before geo nodes and did similar things, animation nodes, does actually let you write free-form python in the node tree since it was written as an addon. It is very slow compared to geometry nodes though, especially when dealing with lots of objects.

Geographic distribution of developers and relatively low amount of devs?
If most Clojure devs are in the US (where generally the highest dev salaries are), whereas for other languages they are more spread out around the world, then Clojure will be at the top even if it isn't necessarily the top paying programming language in the US itself (no idea about that).
When you’re paying rooms full of developers top 1% salaries, something’s gotta give.

Normal users, as they represent by definition the largest numbers, are necessary to enable the network effects on which the Internet companies rely, and as a result they also put other, reluctant users in a position of minority, the position of the 'unreasonable', the position of the grumpy old fart, the position of the burden to support.

The mass, thus the normal user, is indeed the enabler.
