> Which is consistent with my own personal observation that fans of purely functional languages tend to dislike Go, for the most part.)

It's not only your personal observation (though I would remove the "purely" from "purely functional languages). A good indication of that: on the Go 2020 survey, the 6 most popular responses to "Which critical language features do you need that are no available in Go?" are features that functional programming languages have. All of these features are in ML and its descendants (SML, OCaml, Haskell, Scala, etc).

idk if i wanna make this a TUI tbh, i've seen those libs before. I don't think they support output to an io.Writer / term.Terminal though
I've never known anyone who wasn't a programmer who even knew the difference between say, PST and PDT. Like, if they didn't schedule it through a computer with up to date timezone code, I would confirm verbally.

Yeah my sleeping is no where near regular enough to be worried about a forced hour lost or gained.

I think the same logic that gives us different timezones would suggest summer hours (or in the limit, a continual shift) though - so perhaps we should just go the whole hog and have GMT (or whatever, doesn't matter) as a fixed global time!
Yeah this doesn’t sound like a friendship type relationship though. I’d expect my friends to be supportive and mostly not clued in on all the details.

In productivity oriented organizations and relationships there are many roles which are more about what you describe - sober, sceptic, detailed, harsh, realistic etc.
Sure, I know all about the joy of adjusting tz databases, etc.

There are a whole lot of things here in the US that have basically never required these updates.

And, well, there's all the problems where people have assumed timezones won't change, and e.g. have stored timestamps of future events in UTC in databases that really semantically are supposed to be at 9AM in a given timezone.
idk, i didn't exist when IRC was the hip thing
Calis will have even longer summer nights though, with the sun setting into the ocean ...
All of them are delusion. It's simply something we, as society, agreed on, many years ago. It comes to personal preference and for many people more daylight in the afternoon is more convenient.

And that's a big problem for lots of people - I plan on the few days of a long trip to get accustomed to the local time and feel comfortable and well rested.

But just because I'm willing to put up with it when I travel doesn't mean that I want to put up with it twice a year for no apparent benefit.

If I had the option to not have to deal with time zone changes when I travel across the country (or world), I'd vote for that solution. Even if ballistic air travel means I can fly from LA to Tokyo in an hour, the 17 hour (well, 7 hour) time difference means it'll never be a seamless trip even if I can do it in an afternoon. I'm told that if you have the time, taking a cross-atlantic trip to Europe is great because there's no jet lag, you slowly adjust to the time over the course of the travel.
Yes. I'm keeping up with the developments in functional languages, and many of them have lots of ways to do the same thing, with the "recommended" way changing once every 2 years.

I intentionally choose Go where idiomatic code 5 years ago is mostly the same as idiomatic code now. Where no matter who writes the code, it ends up being fairly similar. Where I can easily dive into any open source library, understand the code base in 10 minutes, and make the fix I need. Where there's little-to-no bike shedding.

I understand others might have different preferences, but as another comment mentioned, there are a bunch of languages satisfying those preferences very well (which I like very much as well overall, but I don't like using them for serious day-to-day coding). No reason to try to make everybody happy with a single language.

Besides, I also think monads aren't a very good abstraction to use in most of your day-to-day code, so I'm happy I can avoid code using them.
> These plants are being distributed across the globe, preserving their genetic line better than a local culture ever could, no?

I don't think it's a matter of "local culture." The plants are being removed from the environment they're adapted to; most of the ones sold into different climates will probably fail to re-adapt and will die.

In that manner, it's more or less the same as live animal trafficking.

I dunno if Cortex-M chips will be better for long, though. Some of the RISC-V specifications like interrupt controllers need a bit more time, but they have very good support in mainline compilers like the GNU toolchain.

My experience writing C for RISC-V MCUs is about the same as doing so for Cortex-M platforms. They're a bit low-volume/expensive atm, but the core is very appealing to chip makers because it has solid software support and no royalties.

I also wouldn't write ARM off, though. Their 'coming-soon' MCU neural accelerators could open a lot of doors if it works well on a low power budget.
Why does it say “no computers” when it uses HD screens and cameras which are, you know, full of computers?

i can't agree about taking out a bunch of your enemies. the photographs of thich quang duc had such an impact because the practice was novel to the west. that novelty is gone. but there isn't any novelty in suicide bombing either. as far as sending a message goes, they are both outdated practices and a waste.

"Harmony" is an important value in Confucianism, which means it's a value with a lot of importance in Chinese culture. Governments increase their legitimacy by being perceived to offer harmony. The Chinese government therefore couches its propaganda in terms of it offering harmony, and other things threatening harmony.

I'm not saying that cyberpunk is a Chinese propagandist - just that he/she has adopted their term (perhaps from hearing them use it so much).
Beautiful imagery, reminds me of playing around with fractal software as a kid.

You could probably get a wider variety of image by adding more nonlinearity to the mix - As far as I can tell, this system is just iterating rotation and scaling, which are linear maps.

I don’t really buy this argument. Another thing one sees is companies deciding that a certain level of ‘unregretted attrition’ is good and then effecting policies that end up raising attrition in general and of course it disproportionately rises for the more productive marketable employees. So maybe those companies don’t realise what they’re doing or they don’t know who is important to keep or they think the attrition is worth it. I don’t think one can merely consider it unavoidable when companies actively increase it.
pretty much lol
Wow. Lawmakers continue to amaze me with their stupidity.
This 1000%. The check that courts have over legislature is constitutionality. If a law is not what the legislature intended (or if the intention has changed) then they have the power to change their minds. Courts do not make laws, they interpret them.

Problem is that legislature has (in general) stopped doing their job so the "functional" court system is forced to re-interpret older and older laws; increasing their power relative to the other branches.
The need renew ssl certs really needs to go away. They should be valid for a year and auto-renew.

I'd definitely choose #3. I don't mind switching, but it's what I'm used to. I'd be OK with dropping it, but if we did, I'd want standard time.

Permanent DST makes no sense to me. Maybe it's my astronomy background, but "noon" means something, something that involves the position of the sun and the earth. We quantize that to timezones for coordination, but it doesn't mean it's meaningless.

If we stop switching, fine, but don't mess with noon. Just change your schedule to 8-4 or whatever. Permanent DST seems like wanting everyone to be above average. Or deciding that everyone would be happier if they're taller, so we're shrinking the foot by 10%.
I hate self driving cars and I hate Uber. Although I use them because they’re a bit cheaper and easier to use when you’re slightly socially phobic. Uber should be broken up and/or “refactored” into just a pricing/hailing service bought in by private drivers. It might actually find a proper balance with the market then. But it would make less profit.

I’m not in the US. I do live in a bubble, you’re right about that.

You didn’t read deep enough what I was saying and assumed I was only talking about borders. Borders permit (demand) national currencies. National currencies and their exchange reinforce arbitrary value disparities between countries. Value disparities between currencies are deep systemic racism, and work with border controls to limit QoL improvements and reinforce racial and cultural division. Globalisation as it has been thus-far implemented has been a scourge across the human world, and probably deeper into the material fabric we share. I’m unsurprised to hear your frustration with what it’s done: it’s the sickening profiteering tool of the already-powerful.

A human world that shared more information, allowed easier cultural and people flow, wasn’t gouged by currency exchange value extraction schemes, and focused more on local resource management and honestly dealing with externalities would have some chance of fixing the bigger issues.

I’m a dreamer. The bubble I live on is called Earth.
I don't know what drivel means, but I also thought that claim was a bit out of place when I saw it in the video (the only thing I can see on mobile...). Sure, yeah, we have droughts and climate change on our hands, but what does that tell me about your product? Instead of using scammer tactics of instilling fear and urgency with a looming problem that only they can fix, just tell me what the product is. I had to scroll quite far down in the comments to find it (specifically this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30689872) because the video is just too abstract.

Edit: looked up drivel, learned a new word today. Not quite how I'd describe this product though...

I think the point is

"If you cannot espouse the benefits and possible market of the product you yourself are building - why are you building it?"

Basically - be your own advocate. If you can't handle someone asking about your product (even in a negative fashion) how the hell can you hope to have the conviction and drive to actually sell it?

You don't need to "convince" every critic - but you sure as hell need to be able to step into the ring and talk to their points.

This is the same reason debate teams often explicitly spend time reviewing the problem from their opponents perspective - you must be able to understand and counter arguments from your detractors.
I would be interested in the previously mentioned claims like “wasm can’t protect against rowhammer” —- while perhaps not an easily exploited vulnerability, and likely every current sandbox tech is vulnerable, is there anything specific to wasm that would help here?

Also, how does wasm relate to traditional sandboxes that “just” hijack system calls? Is there a difference?
I'd say rust is the *only* true open-source modern compiled language that can replace C/C++

Go: Too much Google influence and GC/allocation being constrained by it's authors.
Swift: Same for Apple, see above
Nim/Zig/Crystal/Elixir: Too behind in terms of widespread support and development. (At least not as good as rust)
Trying to analyze the impact of this I used my favorite tool for thinking through DST issues:
https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/@z-us-94114

Seems like with this law in effect, near the winter solstice in San Francisco what would have been 7:21am - 4:54pm will now instead be 8:21am - 5:54pm day light hours. Is this accurate?

On the one hand, the 6pm night time feels pretty reasonable, but 8:20 for sun in the morning seems pretty early. Although I think I prefer this to having standard time year around.

My favorite option on this topic is to change the clocks smaller amounts way more often to try and achieve good alignment between clocks and day light. I haven't worked it out with precision, but it seems like it should be better than than these hour jumps or not jumping at all.
I bought hue bulbs last year everything in my apartment slowly turns up to full brightness over ~30 minutes around the time that my alarm goes off.

Ocaml.

Insanely fast compiler. Great type system. Functional programming at its best but still relatively pragmatic and easy to mix in some imperative code if need be.

It is a bit more complicated than Go and the ecosystem is maybe a bit more patchy but other than you will have a good time.
That's what I do, and that's a more viable solution than it used to be since I carry a pocket watch (i.e. a phone) with me everywhere I go, and I usually use Android Auto while driving, so my phone's clock is displayed in my car.

But I used to rely on my car's clock to know what time it is, and kept it updated for DST.
We compiled C code just fine on machines with less than a megabyte of RAM back in DOS days. I wouldn't expect gcc to work on such a machine, but some older compiler (lcc? pcc?) should be feasible.

Ah, my bad. I was confused because I never run into linker issues when I build my rust (or any other type of) binaries on a NixOS system.

In fact, I am running the `evdev` example and I don't get any linker errors at all even when I change the linker to LLVM. I am using a nightly version of rust though.

"You left me waiting for days."

What have I just said?

If the context is that it's been a handful of minutes, we don't say my usage is wrong; we definitely don't say that "sometimes days means minutes" and fret about how anyone will communicated time. We say that sometimes people exaggerate.

You can still object, if you wish, on stylistic grounds. You can object that you'd prefer we keep "literally" apart from some standard uses of words lest we allow inappropriate ambiguity. But none of that means anyone is using "literally" to mean "figuratively".

Christ. That sounds horrible. So glad it'll soon be a thing of the past.
Well often when you build something in the software world we are told not to go learn a new language to build it but just stay with the tools you are a master of, so probably this guy was a master of the tools they chose and hence it was not made as software that would have necessitated learning new tools.

However the other thing is that as a system of analog tools it may be able to achieve all sorts of effects that might require a lot of processing power, development time, and sources of entropy for randomization to match. In short I think not just that what was built was easier for the person who built it, but might also be significantly cheaper comparatively.

It appears that device isn't using the RISC-V module under discussion but an ARM version instead.

>I decided to install in my DevTerm the simplest module compatible with the popular RaspberryPi Linux distribution. It’s slower than the other “cores” but less power-hungry, and it’s very simple to install pre-compiled software and look up answers for any questions (as the RaspberryPi community is so huge). Yet this core still gives the user an ARM64-bit Quad-Core Cortex-A53 1.2 GHz CPU and 1 GB of RAM — more than enough to run simple writing apps.

Sure, but the use of simple language commonly seems to play out in easier to follow explanations of things on Simple Wikipedia.

So you should be bold and consider improving the regular English Wikipedia if you find it inaccessible to the intended audience.

I appreciate your confidence, but I find the topic almost unintelligible. I dare say a science educator or the like would make a more reliable job of it. Plus, I'm not sure articles should be dumbed down, because for topics I do understand, I would find it annoying if Wikipedia entries were boiled down into layman's terms.

Yeah, when I read about the Java behavior I figured it was to get cross-platform consistency. All that I can say is that I concluded that the opposite approach (applications should be written to handle what the system tables provide through a shim API like Qt provides) makes more sense. I noticed this recently when I had to install some CA certs into my JRE when a java app didn't use the system ones.

Our technical documentation details what constitutes a node and edge ICYI: https://docs.system.com/system/

In brief, System is designed to maximize precision in how evidence is captured and represented, while also ensuring that information about the same or similar things is grouped together. This is key to building and representing one system. This translates into three types of nodes of increasing specificity: Topics, Metrics, and Features. More here: https://docs.system.com/system/using-system/topics-metrics-a....

Edges are statistical relationships backed by statistical evidence that meets certain criteria for significance, strength, and reproducibility. More here: https://docs.system.com/system/using-system/investigating-re....

Ditto. Switching is the issue for me. And it's not because it's all that disruptive to me personally. But it is highly disruptive, and dangerous to shift workers. The fall change in particularly raised hell in the hospital where I worked, since it literally created an hour that occurred twice. Computers can store time in universal time, but a nurse medicates or does a procedure on a patient by clock time, and that duplicate hour and compressed shift increased risk of patient harm, misrecording of data, and overall stress a lot.

And really, it's just dumb.
