Records in ReasonML are represented as arrays. And generated code looks like a human wrote it if humans could remember indices of every property of every type like a compiler does.

So ReasonML is compiled into somewhat obfuscated Javascript that won't be naturally consumable by vanilla Javascript, whereas Typescript transpiles into Javascript with the same API without typings (type erasure).
Cool stuff. I would do away with private by default. Python proves that sometimes you need the internal access as an escape hatch for bugs.
Two things

1) This is ass backwards. We don't need CS who know about accounting, hr, etc. Jobs of the future will be automated. Dev is an essential skill, the same way English or maths used to be. We need these professionals to learn how to code to "gain one level up", and make the computer do whatever devs are building for them now.
2) Market has needs for a lot of people who know how to program using high level frameworks. CS programs have evolved accordingly. 20y ago, it was a room full of geeks (with the original meaning), coding on freebsd. Program had electronics, assembler, C, you learned to build a compiler from scratch, a virtual machine, a shell, stdio, etc. There was a lot of tinkering with dark bsd flavors. Programs today are at a much higher level, learning how to use react, and frameworks built by others. To the point where I see devs who don't know what OSI means and don't even know how to reinstall windows themselves. I don't think it's bad, I think the need for CS has remained somewhat similar, what we need today is app developers which is very different. You don't need a tech genius to build an accounting app. You need someone who can understand these needs and transfer them into relatively straight forward code over all the abstraction levels built by these tech geniuses.

So I think the claim that CS is a liberal art is preposterous. I think that what people call CS has evolved into two things, CS and App dev, the latter which should start moving to other professionals, and that people didn't realize it yet.
Pretty much any four-year college degree that could have a BS attached to it could equally well have a BA attached to it, depending on the course work required. Mathematics with a focus on the history of mathematics and the social / cultural aspects of mathematics, educational in mathematics, etc. would maybe be a BA. Generally, the difference will be something like BS degree students take twice as many calculus and differential equations courses as BA students do.

As to whether one feels better about having a BA vs a BS, in reality most people don't care too much about things like that. A BA may leave more room for classes in other subjects, which can be beneficial. A BS might be better preparation for a grad program in that subject, otherwise your grad program might require a year of in-subject coursework.
> Texas doing its part to get the U.S. a little more 3rd world. Yes, a trolling statement

For what it's worth, I believe that pretty much every region that sees even a little EV adoption experiences some electrical grid issues: whether it's the US or not. The big question is if things like electrical grid upgrades and intelligent charging will make these minor issues and minor growing pains, or a real problem.

To give an overall opinion, I admire the heck out of the tech behind EVs, but I'm very skeptical about them providing an overall net benefit to the world for anybody but politicians who have a new excuse for a mismanaged society (I predict that at some point a new line of political attack will be something like this: "Forget about that electrical brownout Citizen, don't you understand we have to fight Climate Change? What are you a Climate Change Denier?") and entire new industries to sell influence and be corrupt for.
I don't think I could survive such a calamitous event in my life.

I was young and thought I knew a lot more than I actually did. My Physics professor at the time encouraged me to publish the paper based on some work I had been doing in robotics under his supervision.

This was the 1980's, you couldn't go buy Arduinos and cheap I/O boards, etc. I had to design everything and build every single board by hand (wire-wrapped, if anyone knows what that is). It was a ridiculous amount of work but it was awesome. Oh, yeah, and machine my own parts, no 3D printing!

What's interesting is that I actually got a meeting with and an employment offer from a large multinational corporation based on this paper. So, not horrible, at least in the context of the times.
In a better world, companies would support & embrace this kind of creative exploration.

It's just a sad chilling legal regime that rules us. Control is prioritized over fun, for fear that the fun get out of hand or come to not reflect well on the corporate image.
In 1995, I started replacing the WYSE VT-100 terminals at my small workplace with Pentium desktops, in order to prepare for the switch to client-server in the next ERP version. They averaged fron $2700/ea ($5100 today) data entry models, to $3500 for mine, to $5200 ($9800 today) for the mechanical engineering system. (I still have my notes.)
Can’t they just roll out a patch that intentionally slows down charging if the vehicle is in Texas?

Oh, I see, than You are not talking about commuting. This has different name - in my country we use something that can be translated literally as "delegation" - but it rather means business trip, I am not sure what is the international english term for this (I have been part of project creating web apps that did accounting for people that major part of work was traveling to clients).

> Does he actually want to repair his phone? It doesn’t seem like it.

Does Apple really want to support right to repair?

Or is this some baked-in-irony workaround that lets them legally _say_ they allow anyone to repair their phones, while offering what is the least consumer centric service I have ever seen from a company of this caliber.

I think you missed the point of the article, which is to show how ridiculous this process is on the whole.
I think the significance here isn’t the title or the content of the article, but that it’s on the WSJ website. This will reach more people who know little about crypto ins and outs.
I see randomly getting old machines to work as gold because it's one of the rags to riches back doors to the tech world.
> clearly a violation

It's awesome to me that no one can clearly state what this is a violation of, but we all tend to agree, yes, a rag-tag group of product-loving enthusiasts absolutely have no right to go poke around & make things awesome & cool & to improve the product. That's absolutely not ok. We agree. But we also don't even know why or how we got here & why that is.

It's still not piracy.
I think at this point in the thread, most of us are just outsiders speculating.

To add my bit: given the growth rate of the Chinese economy over the last several decades, it’s highly likely that American style layoffs are exceedingly uncommon in China, to the point where the fear that you may lose your job and thus your whole social life is much less of a fear, at least to the extent that it is perceived as beyond your own control.
The subtitle for the talk is "a security focused introduction to eBPF". I guess they changed it to give a bit of a heads-up for those just reading the posts title, but it's not the subtitle chosen by the author.

That is not how I read it.

He is saying being a white American person, commonly that would not speak Arabic, in Syria would make him a target as a spy.

What I am saying: no, it's not like that. Even the attention I describe (looking that way but speaking some Arabic) isn't that. I guess that wasn't clear.

I wasn't even thinking about on the job, just the situation when someone at a party/gathering mentions a problem they're facing (personal or professional) and the recipients of this information can either limit their response to commiseration or let it expand into solving the problem. While appreciation for the latter isn't universal, I think it goes well beyond engineers.
Much prefer windows 11 to 10 with the following changes below. Without the changes would probably be worse.

Disabled widgets.

No longer use the windows explorer for most things as it got worse (extra clicks). Directory Opus or Total commander are fine replacements.

I keep the task manager pinned to the taskbar as it is more clicks otherwise to get to.

Switching sound to speakers / headphones is now an extra click.

I used O&O Privacy to disable a bunch of settings (Actually quite a lot of settings, this was the same on windows 10 though).

Design wise I prefer win 11. I like the centralized icons on the taskbar.

Tried start11, wasn’t for me, I use the default taskbar.
The Federal Reserve who controls the M1 supply would like a word with you.:-)

There is a limited amount of goods and services you can sell to the inhabitants of a planet with a population of 7.7 Billion.

What if the planet would have only a population of 7? Each person owning one of the 7 continents? Let's say the persons owning Africa and the person owning North America, due to some meteorological disaster, and unfortunate investments,
had to sell their respective continents to the hotshot owning Europe?

Texas' power infrastructure is exactly what is was incentivized to be. The same with the baby formula shortage. Up and down the economy we don't have the resilience to deal with demand or supply shocks. This short-sitedness needs to be discouraged and punished. I don't think Texas stands alone though, there are a lot of states and industries ill prepared to deal with any shocks to the system.
I think one of the reasons is that there can be too many people implied in taking decisions.

Another reason might be that if somebody is a co-owner with many others in an enterprise, he might not feel motivated to work.

In socialist countries the quality of most products and services was poor because no one cared and no one fel obligated to do a good job, since the enterprise was owned by all the people. Instead there were many small thefts from the workplace.
TFA itself talks about this, but not to disparage the hunter-gatherer aspect but rather to claim that there was an actual, ~permanently inhabited city here, that was still nevertheless pre-agrarian. That’s part of the mystery and importance of these sites: they upend what we thought we knew.
The Liberals likely conceded as soon as Western Australia's numbers started to come in, which were very very bad for the LNP. Not to mention all the "safe" Liberal seats (including that of the Treasurer's) that fell to Independents.
Nobody writes the first example by hand[^1]. They write it in TeX (or some other easy to write dialect, or use a graphic WYSIWYG editor) and then use a tool to translate it to MathML.

What I’m advocating here is that GitHub translates TeX to MathML on their servers and serve us the MathML, as opposed to leaving the TeX as is and ship a JavaScript library to render it after it reaches our browsers. Chrome users won’t see a difference as they don’t support MathML, so they need MathJax as a polyfill. But there is a world of difference for us Firefox and Safari users.

Another benefit is that you could allow us to include the pure MathML (by hand or authored by some other tool) if we preferred that.

^1: and if they did write it by hand it would be written as

<math display="block">
<msup>
<mi>a</mi>
<mn>2</mn>
</msup>
<mo>+</mo>
<msup>
<mi>b</mi>

Array - What's the use case here? (And I'm not being snarky or even critical.)

My usage is generally lists for small stuff where I don't care about performance, and pandas/numpy for analysis. So maybe array is either if I don't want numpy, or if I am doing something real and large and list performance would truly be a problem?

Also, I looked for a PEP to answer these questions and couldn't find it. (The one I found was very old). Or any stats on performance improvements?
I would have somewhat agree with you except for the point that you have to give apple freaking remote access to the phone because the replacement battery shows up as nongenuine. That right there tells me that apple is trying to make the process as painful as possible.
> I can’t see how Apple can make a net profit on the repair itself at $69 for modern phones, so the profit motive/outcome must come from tilting people towards replacing a phone with a trade-in credit.

Apple could probably sell the devices at a loss and still make money overall on App Store commissions.
I'll say what I like about anything I like. If the book is so great than those of you who've read it should be able to present the arguments from it. It sounds like it left all of you with an impression of having learned something, but unable to convey much of anything that you actually learned. Did you actually read that book?
These are good tips. One more thing, if we're talking GitHub specifically: the labels of the statuses you can give your review are somewhat misleading, in that their actual effects don't quite match the labels. So:

- "Request changes": this isn't so much a request, as it is "prevent this person from merging this until I specifically review it again". It's fairly harsh.

- "Comment": effectively, "require another review before it can be merged, not necessarily by me".

- "Approve": the submitter can merge it at their prerogative.

It is very common for me to hit "approve" even though I've requested changes, as they're often

> so trivial that you don’t think it needs a second review afterwards

or even totally reasonable for someone to push back against or not implement.

Sometimes I'll have seen a non-trivial bug, in which case I'll set it to "comment". I practically never use "request changes".
I'm suggesting that whenever you think "it's not rocket science" is an appropriate criticism of someone else's thinking, you should consider whether you are looking at one of Chesterton's fences.
Ask HN: Would theoretical computer science survive the resolution of P vs. NP?
Maybe the answer would depend on whether P=NP or P!=NP?
So many comments here seem to miss the point. It should not (and in fact, does not) require these massive, industrial tools to safely replace a battery, which 100% of phones will need to replace if they aren't otherwise damaged. You do need some tools, but you don't need those tools.

Worse than that, the tools that the writer received seemed to be both more difficult to use AND worse at the job than the $25 battery replacement kits you can find on Amazon. It's not like these tools made it a breeze, it's still just as difficult as using a cheap kit. But the cheap kit costs $25 for the battery and reusable tools, while this setup costs $118 and puts a $1200 hold on your card. If a brute like me can repair a phone with a $25 kit, anybody can.

This seems like malicious compliance by Apple. You have the "right to repair" your phone, but at huge cost and risk.
You have a storage bin holding old smartphones with readily replaceable batteries.

That suggests to me that readily replaceable batteries isn't anywhere near the entire story in terms of keeping phones out the landfill (or in your case, a storage bin).
It says a lot about the society we've built that those who save lives are valued roughly equally to those that fleece unsuspecting consumers.

I have tinnitus so badly that some days I am incapacitated. It's bad. I use white noise machines to get through the day - it masks it but doesn't make it go away.

The thing that I've discovered that actually makes it go away: extreme bass. Massive, 18" speaker cabinets and kilowatt amplifiers for long periods of time, the kind that makes your whole body vibrate, while wearing ear protection. I discovered my first this after DJ'ing a club with a proper bass soundsystem and have confirmed it since. The effect lasts from weeks to months.

I found a few things in the medical literature which support this as a real possibility and emailed a researchers about it who said the same thing. I am seriously considering opening up a crackpot bass-therapy clinic to help other sufferers, but need to have other people confirm it works for them first.
interesting, is there more documentation, examples?

are there similar systems in other languages so people can get an idea what to compare it to?

>What would be the difference from a company owned by five individuals that also do all the work and a coop formed by five individuals?

Parent is probably talking about "BigLaw" (thousands of lawyers) and boutique law firms (hundred lawyers or less). Most lawyers at the firms are employees (i.e. the associates) and not part-owners (i.e. the partners). They are not co-ops.

Even in a tiny local law firm of 5 partners/owners and no junior associates, they'd still have the staff paralegals and secretaries as non-owner employees so they're not really co-ops either.
So do you know of any WYSIWYG editors that do use trick(s) to keep up with fast typing?
I can’t provide a generic answer but in my experience, there were two mechanisms. First, people are hired partly based on their political values and through word of mouth, which limits ways for bad actors to join. In the same vein, the pay is below market-rates, which reinforces the phenomenon of ideological homogeneity. Second, decisions are made through consensus using formalized methods. Frequent meetings that are prepared in advance following a set of rules, disagreements that are discussed using techniques that minimize the subjective dimension of it and are solution-oriented, elections without a candidate (in French: “élection sans candidat”), etc.

Meh. Are stories being created in books getting better? For example, The Decameron and Canterbury Tales are pretty impressive and were written before the printing press.
Came here to post this on reading the title. I remember this episode vividly
Exchange listings, which is the topic of the article, and is mentioned by the person I responded to, are specifically a centralized finance thing (CeFi).

Every DeFi exchange I know of allows anyone to list any token at any time. That's part of what makes them "decentralized", so the concept of knowing ahead of time when a token is going to be listed doesn't make any sense in the DeFi context.

Pre-Sales are often conducted via a DeFi style ICO, which might list tokens at a certain price governed by some fancy mechanics (getting cheaper, or more expensive, over an n-week ICO window or something, dutch auctions, etc), and then eventually the tokens go up for sale on centralized exchanges, which is the "insider" event being discussed by the article, and presumably, the person I replied to.
One of the best methods for getting seeds for good tasting fruits (that breed true) is to just purchase the fruit of something you like and plant the seeds inside. I do this with tomatoes all the time, just go to the market, pick up the a few pounds of heirlooms and squish out the seeds before I eat them at home. I get so many tomato starts this way, that I generally have to transplant or kill off a few.

With other plants, it's also easy and advisable just to let some go to seed instead of harvesting them. You'll have plenty for the next round.
Double wrap is the key
So if that's the case, then it looks like the labor for the replacement is free when having Apple do it.

Everyone keeps talking about it being a $5 battery, but where can you get the battery for $5? If it costs Apple $5, then you're dreaming if you think Apple is going to ever sell for that. Nobody sells at cost and stays in business.

Also, you're forgetting about it being a $69 kit. It's the $5 battery and $64 dollars of kit.
My understanding is that WSLg (support for running graphical Linux applications) requires Windows 11.
> The reason why I’m so excited about this feature is that, in combination with version control and the issues/discussions capabilities in GitHub, I can see tectonic changes in how we’re publishing science. At last, science can really reap the benefits of a connected internet by moving away from static PDFs to living, breathing repositories which render like PDFs and provide a central place where one can actually talk about the article. – And fix bugs!

I'm skeptical of this take. Gitlab has had math rendering support for quite a while now, so this is hardly novel and doesn't seem to have resulted in the utopia the author is hoping for.
Reminds me of the hacked-up Windows XP Service Pack 3 images you'd find on warez sites. I fondly remember XP "Black Edition" with custom themes.

They also had it configured to receive the Windows XP POSReady security updates, which made the system serviceable long after the general EOL date.
> show just how deep the hole Apple has dug for themselves really is

I guess it shows this hole to the public, but Apple's know this the whole time. They scale out in-store iPhone repair to 500 stores around the world where they have low-paid retail workers performing the repairs.
If you’re using a VM, why wouldn’t you just suspend it? Boot speed seems somewhat irrelevant
They’ll get to find out if it’s scalable with this iteration of their repair program. It’s quite likely that only a small fraction of people will be interested in self-service repair, but if that assumption turns out to be false Apple would have to design another iteration of the process to improve accessibility.
Not to be that person, but Anatolia and Mesopotamia were not “dry” even if they approach that description today.

Purchase fruit from the farmer's market and collect the seeds before eating them. For fruit that breed true (not apples!) you should get something similar enough.

The other day I was reading Knuth’s fascile on satisfiability where he says his hunch is that P = NP but the algorithm might be outside our capacity to understand or implement.
