For one, you’re dealing with less state. That’s worth a lot already.

More interestingly, programming in a functional style encapsulates a lot of complexity in concepts. Once you grasp a concept, it all falls in to place. But getting there is hard.

Java-style OOP gives you a loose bag of conceptually simple pieces, but that quickly devolves in to a horde of rabid infants with jetpacks. Then you need to memorise several dozen patterns to contain the chaos.

Intrinsic vs extrinsic complexity.
For clarification, evidence for the bribery claim is only circumstantial at this point, which is also made clear in the record. The other claims however are substantiated with strong evidence encompassing intent.
It is sad that you would rather believe the parent has mental health issues, rather than entertain the possibility that yes, someone is actually doing something effective against powerful corrupt people, and that requires creative thinking.

To me, it echoes "Discourse on Voluntary Servitude" by La Boétie. Powerful people are just people. They are powerful because we are collectively granting them that power. This is not a case of delusion of grandeur, but a case of saying no to learned helplessness.

So thank you byecancer21 for what you're doing against corruption, from a stranger on the internet.

Hydro isn't the panacea. It's destroying ecosystems. Climate change is a problem but the biodiversity collapse another one.

>exception with the hydro and should stop rubbing it in all the discussions.

True, and it's not a exception, but geographically "luck", without mountains and the glaciers that comes with them, Switzerland would be as dry as Turkmenistan. It's just a matter of commonsense to use those altitude differences and water....but when all our glaciers are molten away, we for sure have to go back to nuclear-power.
I very recently created a stupid joke website, to check/verify if you can see: https://canisee.xyz

In the spirit of this thread I don't care if it succeeds because there is no 'success metric' as such. What I would love to happen is someone mentions this site back to me and I get to tell them 'Ha, I made that!'.

Does this imply that the risk decreases with time as the body recovers? Or is the elevated risk permanent?
Even if participants have same level of domain understanding, it takes more to be willing to work towards a solution without their egos, their achievements, their alpha-ness getting in the way. I’ve seen the opposite more often than not. Where I do see this level of camaraderie is amongst close friends who know better about each other.
Both major parties here are friendly with ASIO, having both given them enough overreaching powers over the last 20 years that they've pretty much got free reign to do whatever they want.

Switzerland in an anomaly on virtually every metrics you can come by.
I think you had difficulty understanding my point. People were effectively locked in until cloudflare and others had enough comparable offerings that Amazon had to actually compete.

A massive drop in prices like that means people were locked in and the switching cost in the market just dropped. So Amazon had to adjust to keep the customers.
I think I can relate. I'm a pragmatist (I think anyway), and it was tough to "get" the point of FP just from reading about it, and sometimes I think the proponents can unwittingly make it sound more complicated and wondrous and less accessible since from an outside perspective the terminology seems like a pile of academic buzzwords (it's not, just how anything specialised can look from the outside).

It took a while of actually using some FP patterns for a couple of things to sink in. First, that I'd already been using these patterns in an ad-hoc way, I just didn't have the terminology for it, and second was realising just how repetitive these patterns were in my work. A lot of the code I wrote would either iterate over collections to do stuff to the contents / build a modified collection (map), or iterate a collection and determine something about the contents, like does the user have product x in their cart, or something (reduce).

These days I find code more readable when it uses mapping / reduction and other FP patterns, it's not so much that there's less boilerplate (maybe a couple of lines, nothing drastic), but the grammar itself expresses meaning, I don't have to trace through an entire nested loop section to understand the developer's intentions from the outset.

For instance if I see map, I understand they must be producing a collection based on the input. If they're using reduce, they're figuring out some property of the entire collection.

Also (this is a big plus), the developer would have to go out of their way to modify the original collection, which is always a fun source of unexpected functionality when reading through traditional loops; map and reduce avoid this by design as modified collections are produced as output and don't surreptitiously modify the input. Basically by design you end up with fewer mega-loops that cram in updates, computation, and modify the source data in sneaky ways.

Without reading the contents of the mapping and reduction functions, the grammar of this is very clear to me: "newCollection = (collection.reduce({criteria})) ? collection.map({abc}) : collection.map({def})" - I can see that I'm checking the collection for some criteria, then mapping the collection based on one of two criteria. The grammar itself tells me exactly what's going on before I even have to read the contents of the mapping and reducer functions. Sure that can also be accomplished with a couple of loops, but then I'd have to read through the loops to understand exactly what the broader intention is.

Anyway as I said I consider myself a pragmatist rather than an evangelist for any particular methodology. I don't consider myself a FP programmer but I've found some of the concepts useful tools to have around. Like anyone on a wage, time is money and I use whatever gets the result the client wants in the best way from time, budget, and maintainability perspective. But I hope at least the concept seems a bit less pointless / like code golf with the above context?

For people asking why to go to the Moon or Mars:

The movie Avatar made in box office $2.9B. This is exactly the same amount of money as SpaceX asked for the Moon landing - $2.9B.

Have you asked people who watched Avatar what is the purpose of watching Avatar?

Instead of making a fiction about going to a moon, we can actually go to the Moon.

It really is the question - why do you live? What is the purpose of anyone life?

There does not seem to be any purpose to anything in the universe. But we can choose what we want to do.

So the answer: Because we want to, because it is exciting, because it inspires, because we can.

Because this is what life is about.

It's recently been shown that even though the numbers are represented with different tokens, the network learns to form an internal representation that understands the progression from one token to the next.
I get the feeling this anecdote leaves out some important information. Perhaps whether people were giving hints about how confident they were on their contribution, or whether there was an aha-reaction to something insightful that was said.

But also it's important to separate oneself from ideas that appear in one's head and not be too closely invested in them.
In typical functional languages state is managed so that it doesn't hurt, not completely absent.

For example, a REPL keeps state in the messages it prints to the terminal and this state isn't visible in the pure function definitions and expression the program is concerned with.

Wood is at the same time a combustible and fire-safe material. The required fire resistance of wood structures can be achieved by adding to the size of the structure, adding a protective cladding, using a non-combustible insulation material, or by improving the fire resistance of the wood structure with a fire-retardant treatment.

This just shows that this model did not learn anything.

Humans do not see billions of examples to add numbers. We see just few and can apply learned notation and procedures to infinity with 100% precision.

GPT-3 learned mathematical intuition. Humans can hardly learn multiplication table over months and repetitions of same examples, and that table hardly matters at all. GPT-3 is just plainly wrong objective they trying to optimise.
I don't think the author of this article has interpreted this study correctly. She appears to be comparing the myocarditis rates in Supplementary Table 21 vs Table 22 to get the numbers of 370 per million vs 500 per million, but those two tables represent two fundamentally different cohorts and cannot be compared straight across like that.

Table 21 removes individuals from the cohort once they become vaccinated, whereas Table 22 continues to follow up with those individuals until the 12 month mark. It is entirely possible that many of the individuals that were removed from Table 21's cohort did go on to develop myocarditis, but they aren't included in the measured rate by virtue of being censored from the analysis. In other words, you would naturally expect the numbers in Table 21 to be lower than the numbers in Table 22 simply based on the fact that they are measuring two different things, and this has nothing to do with the actual risk of vaccination because this study wasn't trying to measure that in the first place.

Given the above, the napkin math performed by the author pretty much comes across as nonsense. You can't play with the numbers like that because they don't actually mean what you think they mean.

All of the replies to this completely ignore those of us who have families, and especially young families. Good for you if the sudden removal of responsibilities gave you the freedom to get outside for long periods every day. However, frankly people like this were the main reason I had to quit Strava. While my wife and I struggled to hold our lives and jobs together when it became illegal to have anyone else look after our kids, I had to watch everyone else enjoy day-long rides and runs in the hills.

And before you come out with the usual "you just need to use more imagination and take your kids with you" - for a start, the situation I described above drained more energy and life than I care to remember. Also, there's only so much a 1 year old will put up with, when I am used to rides of up to 100 miles.

Personally, I am deeply embittered by the whole experience.

We are just as of 2020 reaching cost effectiveness for batteries, and planning by utilities is often on five year time lines and uses outdated data, so they are slow to pick up new technology.

Nonetheless, storage is ready, and even in profit driven grids like Texas' ERCOT:

> Citing lower costs and increased renewables, momentum continued in the growth of battery energy storage systems in 2021, roughly doubling with 1,262 MW online, compared to 640 MW in 2020. ... with the next two largest systems in Texas, namely the 102-MW Gambit Battery Energy Storage Park and the 100-MW North Fork Battery Storage Project.

https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/news-insights...

If you want week long batteries, you'll first have to show the need for that, but something like that won't be built until it is needed: enough cheap solar and wind on the grid.

With how slow utilities are to adopt cheap new technologies, that will be a while. But cost-optimization strategies for carbon free grids tend to select a lot of excess solar and wind capacity, and almost no nuclear at all. Though I would say that those models are flawed in that they assume that nuclear can be built, when the last decades have shown that it can not really be built.
From what I understand small modular reactors are not ready for production. Macro announced government money to help their research. The goal is to a have a prototype end of 2020s.

"Software devs don't need unions!"

'Implied functionality' sounds like another way to say higher-level concepts - something that all languages provide. Just like languages make design decisions on how they manage memory and ownership or how they treat typing, they can also decide to provide more expressive kinds of operations (or, if the language is flexible enough, you can provide them yourself).

That's really all there is to it. Functional programming just means some more expressive, higher-level operations at your disposal. Rather than repeating code to initialize, transform, and iterate over state (tasks you spend relatively more time doing homework on in iterative code), you can spend more energy on your problem domain instead.

What's so alarming about us not putting sales tax on products? I grew up in the US but in a non sales tax state so my experience until I was 25 was the same as yours. When I later moved to a sales tax state I knew the price was going to be ~5-10% higher than what was printed but I got used to it very quickly.

I hate to stereotype but I've found Germans in my experience to take particular offense to this practice. I'm married to someone from the UK and British people complain about this as well but probably only 1/10 as much. I feel like if I asked most Germans their least favorite thing about the US this is would be the MOST common response. I don't get it.
