It's amazing that the concept of "monad" is so simple, and yet the author still got the interface mixed up with one particular implementation (mutable state).

Monads are about sequencing. They are an interface to force applying functions in a particular order. This is why Haskell needs them -- in a language with only pure functions, there's no way to encode (for example) the order of 'print' statements directly, it has to be expressed in terms of combining functions.

Consider the interface, expressed in a C-like syntax:

interface Monad {
template<A>
from(value: A) => Self<A>;

template<A, B>
sequence(self: Self<A>, f: fn(A) => Self<B>) => Self<B>;
}

You can see that it forms a sort of one-way valve for functions from one value to another.

Types you could implement that interface for:

* Lists: `from` wraps the value in a size=1 list, and `sequence` becomes "apply the function to each value then concatenate the results".

* Optional: `from` is the case of a value existing, and `sequence` is "if value exists then apply the function, else return None".

* Sets: same as lists.

But it's hard to write a blog post about an interface with only two functions, especially if you've already committed a thousand words to making it seem complicated.
The only way I'm ever buying any Assasins Creed games or Ubisoft games moving forward is if they're available on GOG is the result of this for me.
90% likely, the small print specifies that what was bought was the right to access that file provided that a couple of conditions remain met, and one of the conditions is "until 1. august 2022" or something like that.

You may assume that other streaming companies will do similar things. They're all squeezed between customers who want to pay low prices for the service and rights holders who want high prices for their concent. The rights holders offer a lower price for time-limited access than for permanent access, and the streaming companies take that offer. Film at 11.
Sony did ban my account after I did a chargeback because they let me double charge myself for a month of Playstation Plus. I asked for a refund because it was clearly a duplicate charge and they refused because it had been more than three weeks (could have been two weeks, the timeline is fuzzy).
This is a fundamental misunderstanding of what it means to grow up. There are certain skills, like learning to speak, that can only be done at a certain age. Once that age is past it is not possible to ever pick them up and be fluent at them.

Covid for under 12s was a disaster. We might as well have fed those children lead for the mental retardation we've caused them for the rest of their lives. Over a virus that killed precisely none of them.
I had no idea! Awesome.

I'm voting nearly the exact opposite. Hadn't thought of it this "burning" way (on mobile it's smaller, maybe that's why?) but bright colors are fun colors for me.

Mobile vs desktop, OLED votes vs. LCD votes, indoors vs sunlight etc. would also be interesting to compare.

Agreed, ratings should definitely go stale, especially in this age where many things receive positive/negative updates. Over time high reviews that are very old should lose their weight.
crypto isn't unregulated by any stretch of the imagination. If you steal someones crypto that's illegal just as if you stole someones hot new kids toy that is in a relatively unregulated market.

If we're using ponzi scheme definition loosely enough to label most of the "scams" of crypto as a ponzi scheme, then literally the entire stock market is a ponzi scheme - how else would you pay investors more if you weren't making money off of new investors paying more for the exact same stock?

Are there a metric ton of scams in crypto? Sure, same for stocks - just look at penny stock pump n dumps. They're everywhere. Regulation didn't stop them or maybe even reduce them. The solution to this is to only buy into companies or crypto that have serious missions with serious investors and to stop pretending the gamblers losing money on penny stocks or small-cap crypto are victims. They aren't victims any more than the government sponsored casino/lottery users are victims. Which, maybe those people are victims, but society has accepted that as legitimate, so why would we put unbalanced expectations on crypto when society has deemed these other, quite equivalent forms of gambling as legit?
An audiobook and a character name cross-reference can be instrumental in getting through some of these massive Russian tomes. I was definitely confused by War and Peace (I think it was) until I realized that there was one character with fifteen various names and not fifteen different characters.
Post says "battery prices" so I assume that is for the material costs only. I expect labor costs to be a significant adder. It seems replacing an EV's battery would be similar in scope to replacing an ICE car's engine.
It is fascist to decide to not watch movies made by fascists? People are free to not read feminists books and most of them don't precisely because of who authors are. But, why is willingness to go out of your way for art made by fascist always the mandatory test? (And yes the director counts in that category.)
No that isn't unreasonable. But when I said "we" I meant human beings, not pharmaceutical companies.

I do agree that pharmaceutical companies and other corporations took advantage of the situation in a way that is inappropriate. I don't mean to suggest that the response to the pandemic shouldn't be criticized, but that it should be criticized with the goal of moving forward and doing better. And if you're suggesting that we should hold these companies accountable, by taking away their patents on vaccines for example, I'm all for it.

What I more often see seems to imply we shouldn't have responded at all and should have "toughed it out" and just let people die.
Same, but I haven't started with anything like Ansible yet, only beginning to learn it at work.

Running all my services in Docker keeps it all clean because I'm a very messy person when it comes to Linux. Change, change, change, it works, forget about it, it breaks, find something I did years ago tripping me up now, change, change, change, it works, forget about it.

With docker every service is contained and nearly separated. I can rip something out and replace it like stacking a new network switch in the rack. Delete the container, delete the image(s) and delete the volume if I want to start over with something completely fresh.

I can move everything to a new server by moving bulk hard drives over, restoring docker volumes from backup and cloning docker-compose configs from git. Haven't tried any distributed volume storage yet.
Chip-8
"Danger" has other dimensions than mortality. Some of polio's worst effects emerge a decade or more after infection for example. The confidence of these assertions about the effects on children are not warranted at all. I'm grateful they don't die at the same rates but that's not an indication it doesn't affect them.
From the CDC

> Findings from several studies suggest that SARS-CoV-2 transmission among students is relatively rare, particularly when prevention strategies are in place. An Australian study of 39 COVID-19 cases among 32 students and seven staff traced contacts across 28 schools and six early childhood centers and found only 33 secondary positive cases (28 students and five staff members) out of 3,439 close child contacts and 385 close staff contacts.58, 59 Several contact tracing studies have found limited student-to-student transmission in schools.47, 54, 60, 61

To date only about 1200 people 18 and under have died from/with COVID, and those numbers were far lower before the B variants.
We don't hear how great the ventilation is in all the lines one has to wait in to get on the plane. If someone got COVID after a flight, it's hard to tell if they got it while the plane was in the air, or while waiting to board in or near the jetway.

> This isn't necessarily a criticism since everyone here is acting rationally from an economics perspective. I do wonder about the poor kid from a bad neighborhood who could have become the next great museum curator if not for the fact that his parents aren't wealthy.

I guess you're right, as long as you take it as axiomatic that capitalism should govern absolutely every part of our society.
That doesn't contradict what I said though. Yes Putin wants to expand the Russian sphere of influence, and yes NATO is fighting against that in a proxy war led by the US, in Ukraine.

This isn't just Ukraine v Russia, hence the proxy war label is correct.
We're going to add support for more DBs (e.g. Postgres and MySql) in the next release, I did a lot of work on the underlying libraries to make that possible.

However, mapping the tables/field names is not planned. I think it's a can of worms that I don't want to open: How do you populate the fields you don't know about but are mandatory when creating a new user/group?

You could go the way of setting up a middleman service that listens to the binary queries to (e.g.) postgres and "tranlates" them by substituting the field names, but that seems complicated.
> You know which group didn’t suffer learning loss? Homeschooled children, w

Verily Serif Mono (plus a few modifications). I find serif fonts much easier to read, and this one is the most non-monospace-like font I've ever found. (I've modified it to have a visually heavier semicolon and a visually lighter underscore, so my code is easier to read.)

Thanks for trying to whitewash him, but no, we Russians know him very well.

Sterilization of anti-invasion people is one of the mildest things he suggests. He’s also a huge homophobe standing against “Western homosexual values”.

He’s been an almost weekly speaker on Russia 1 channel since 2000’s. His views were on clear display for years.

He’s one of the most hawkish anti-Ukrainian and ultraconservative Russian filmmakers save for Mikhalkov.

In exchange he’s been given tons of state awards and kept as a head of largest filmmaking company (Mosfilm). Also budgets for productions like this.

He had a couple okay-ish films during perestroika (Courier) but afterwards his sole job is a person shouting on state TV how he hates Western gays and Ukrainians.

So weird seeing his “works” on HN.
As I pointed out in another comment, numerous studies in several countries have found that children infrequently spread COVID to one another or TO teachers but spread does move in the other direction.
> Humans aren't herd animals and live much outside of nature (we try as much as possible).

Humans are animals who live in groups and in nature: denying that is what caused ultimately negative COVID policies (among other social ills).

> In America, looking at their leaders; I'd go so far as to say it's gerontocracy.

This is also true of elephants, but their leaders are wiser than American ones and look after the well-being of young in their groups. (Complete with the leader often being an elder rather than the physically toughest bull.)

You also confused social credit with power, which is easy to do if you view society as absolute.
Back when we did it we had a fruiting tent that was maybe 20 times the volume of that thing. Of course the project took up a whole room in the house.
It is mostly true but not always, eg in the output of GROUP BY ROLLUP, a NULL value is used to indicate rows representing subtotals / partial aggregates
To the standard for the level of learning that students of their age have typically achieved, or the average of how much learning students of their age had achieved pre-pandemic.
To be fair, the kids who are really doing poorly, are the ones who don't have stable homes.

Obviously if you have the means to homeschool, you have stability.

I didn't have a stable home, and no matter how many stupid teachers told me I could still do well in school, just doesn't happen.

I've been making six figures for the last 7 years though so that counts for something

RPO is a disappointment full of fanservice. Overall, a much must forgettable movie than Tron: Legacy.
Are you a developer or somehow creating complex things?

Because for me, I get a lot of solutions when I'm alone (eg. shower). Sometimes I get stuck on a problem, or don't find a solution that feels right. A lot of times during these quiet times, some solution pops out of my (probably unconscious) brain.
Feather Library
There is a difference between a physical medium and digital one. You can read it all the time, you can resell it, you can tear it apart if you like, and the store cannot ever trespass on your property to take it back because they went out of business or they want to charge you recurrently or something.
> Why not urging us to read Finnish, French, German, Polish, Slovak and Ukrainian? Or literature from Belarus for that matter?

So why don't you? AFAIK, Alexander Dumas for example is studied in schools all over the world. Or Thomas Mann? Nikolai Gogol?

> Seriously, why did emphasis on Russian art went UP after the latest invasion?

Because some freaks tried to "cancell" it and it backfired.
I play MSFS a lot with realistic add-on planes like the A32NX or the PMDG 737, even though the flight model isn't quite "as good" as XP or P3D, the visual dominance of MSFS adds so much to the immersion for me.

While absolutely true, that's a savings of $40k over 10+ years, yet you have to pay off that $40k in 5 (closer to $45-$50k with interest). You also need pretty dang good credit to avoid getting hit with a huge interest rate.

Even with a lower total cost of ownership, folks still have to be able to buy it in the first place.

What do you mean? It was the director quoted in the article talking about the shaman’s spirit journey. Are you saying the director’s stated intention is somehow not factual?
> There was no working from home. The minicomputers were available only on the in-office network. I think it was not technically impossible to connect them to the Internet, but at home we all had only dialup access. Not only would speed have been a concern, but the family wouldn’t enjoy having the phone tied up for hours while you worked.

I was lucky in that I got to work remotely from the beginning. Late 80s at the university I set up a modem bank to one of the UNIX boxes and installed a second phone line at home, so I was dialed in pretty much 24x7 (at 2400 baud, of course, but with an all-text terminal session it's fine and usable).

At first job they had dialup into the Sun servers as well, so I often worked from home (by now at 14.4 and later 56K at which point remote X was doable).
I use Victor Mono too. I like the compact spacing in this font. It works well when I increase my editor font size when sharing screen with my colleagues.
>Every last software engineer at ACD was a white man

Interesting, where I was at the time, it was a 60/40 split between men and women. Also I would say 10% were people of color. And one person was completely blind.

Two of the smartest people there were people of color, early on (before 1989) I learned a lot from them.

> All this disruption is healthy in a market long thought uncompetitive.

The US market for one, is so tilted in favor of established firms that use their market positions to build moats and buy or crush any upstart competitors and focus all their on attention on lobbying and rent seeking behaviors that the only place for legitimate contenders to appear is from places like China where American firms can't just buy them out of existence.
I’m not sure. Last winter Chicago went something like 40 days without sun IIRC, and I assume the same is true for much of the surrounding area. It doesn’t seem particularly unlikely that you could have many consecutive windless days as well, especially as climate change brings us these “once in a millennia” events every few years.

Moreover, as we transition homes from gas heating to heat pumps, this will increase demand on the grid and it will also increase the risks in case of failure (people freezing). Moreover, even without cloud cover, winters are snowy and the days are short and the light is indirect.
I use its ability to add the number of the book in a series. So I get:

This is a book - book 1 of 3
That book - book 2 of 3
There book - book 3 of 3

There's more to it but that is the gist of it. It's awesome.
Reminds me of all the middle class knowlege workers who at peak covid smugly proclaimed that everyone should just "work from home", I'm doing it and I am very important so why isnt everyone else.

Turns out the supermarket shelves arent at home and someone needs to deliver the toilet paper so you can panic buy your 200th roll that week.
This is a super cool device. Kudos to the founders & company. It's a very cute little mushroom box setup. And it's inspiring that products like this exist, simply because they look great and make me think "Hey, with enough sweat, marketing, and capital I can create a product too!"

To get started, low tech: All ya need is: Pressure cooker, wheat grains, jar, mycelium, a sterile plastic bag or bin, and the right mix of fresh sterile air & humidity.

They bought it for 1 Euro from Deutsche Bahn.

Deutsche Bahn have given up the idea that it's something you could advertise for a brighter future with so they must have been happy to get rid of it without getting bad press for destroying industrial heritage.

Max Bögl participated in the construction of the Shanghai line. So I guess they thought it would be nice exhibit of being a global player.
I see the exact opposite. Animals are angels from the Lord and they bring the best out of us, they make us better people. Unless you are into animal agriculture and murder them for food. That is messed up.

I never tried to grow my own mushrooms, but the hardest part seems to be the actual growing of the mycelium with all the involved cleanliness, usage of needles, autoclaves and so on, right? The actual "container", which keeps the right amount of light and humidity and air circulation, can be build and maintained fairly easily. At least that's why i got from reading a little bit about this.

Just because you were civil in your expression of it doesn't mean that your opinion itself isn't in poor taste to communicate, especially for someone involved in open source. You may be indifferent to criticism which exists only as a means of self-expression, but when silence costs nothing it's difficult to see exactly how your thought couching your criticism of the e-book ecosystem as a distaste for this long running, free and fairly popular piece of software was going to advance the conversation.

There's a term in Portuguese for a crying baby that's held to a breast but who continues to cry, without even trying to suckle; it's what came to mind when I read your original comment. It's not used for flattery, I'm afraid...
It wasn't always legal and they were likely knowingly breaking US law and just warning him.
Just like debugging in Java since it works as a simulator. Everything you can do in the Java debugger you can do in Codename One. For on-device debugging you can translate the code to an OS native project and debug directly using the native tooling xcode/Android Studio.
