well, this is the reason why people downvote these comments.

muslims don't eat pork, Hindu don't eat cows, every religion impose dietary restriction, doesn't mean that non believers have to follow them.

Veganism is no exception to the rule: if you believe you're reducing animal suffering, good for you, go on with your religion and be happy.

But in truth you aren't, vegans kill a lot of animals too, there are billions of people in the World that cause much less damages than us westerners, even if we lived only on rainwater and rocks.

So you might be a "true vegan (TM)" but you aren't better for the environment or for animal suffering than anybody else.

That's what I was trying to say.

The mass shooting and terrorism rate there increasing seems like a reasonable counter to that idea. Along with steady suicide rates despite massively increasing spending on it.

yeah, wage adjustment will bring inflation out of control. Not the tax breaks for companies, not the 2 trillion dollar stock market bailout in 2020. It's the people getting a 2 dollar wage increase thats driving the inflation. /s
There may have been some genetic selection here. Societies without those who want to defend the tribe with violence, ultimately succumb to the violence of other societies that perpetuate that violence. Prisoner's dilemma means universal instinct of pacifism is a difficult steady-state to hold.

I don't think programming education is broken so much as programming is broken; it's still a very early science.

When I want to learn or teach, I'm most motivated by a specific project with outcomes that interest me. I learn the programming aspect to get what I want, not to learn programming. This is used with kids in learning programing with robotics or Scratch games, but I think it works for adult education, too.

I learned Lua after being a hardcore JS person for many years because I wanted to mod a Steam game that used it. I joined the religion of Typescript from coding handheld games in it, not because I had to. Recently, I've been teaching a new programmer who doesn't work in our field (she's an illustrator). Her motivation has been to have a truly custom online portfolio, which led us to start her programing journey with web components and TS.

Seeing results you care about is the best way to learn programming, I think.
I'm not sure I fully understand the issue here, but reading through it, it seems to point towards that this issue only happens to people using 32bit browsers? Which, I assume (depending on the environment of course), is a very small section of users nowadays.
> Fed has almost 3 trillion of mortgages on its books

“Mortgage-backed obligations held by Federal Reserve Banks…guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or Ginnie Mae” [1]. Not mortgages. It’s a subtle difference. But a big one, given the top tranches of mortgage-backed securities never faced a solvency (versus a liquidity) problem.

Personally, much of my procrastination is on stuff that I’ve decided that I want to do and nobody else cares if I do it. A lot of the time there’s some outcome that I want, but one or more of the steps to get there that is scary or involves some kind of toil that I don’t want to experience. There’s a conflict between my long-term desires and my short-term comfort. The dissonance when short-term comfort wins is the uncomfortable procrastination feeling.
Some jobs are far worse than others (working in a disgusting sewer) and others are far harder than others (managing an organization of thousands of people).

No matter what the economic system, somehow you need to convince someone to work in the sewer and operate complex orgs of thousands of people.

One option is to use a gun - you point it at people you don’t like and make them sewer workers.

Another is to arbitrarily hire and have no consequences. This leads to incompetence and mismanagement, as often happens in government everywhere and in socialist / communist nations that nationalize industries and staff them with political hires.

In capitalist societies we give more stuff to people who do hard jobs and / or are highly effective. This is the carrot - work a high stress or shitty job and get more stuff. The stick for failure is you get less stuff, but at least you aren’t shot in the head as they do in other systems.

You can argue until you’re blue in the face about neolibs / the rich / whatever. Doesn’t change the fact that inequality is a requirement for society to function if you expect someone to work in shit-filled holes underground all day while others pontificate about philosophy.

Depending on the specific locale and period in history, there's a lot of people who were likely happier and meaningfully freer than people in 21st century New Zealand and could have expected to live just as long.

Modern people are generally very physically and mentally unhealthy, and most of us work now work in conditions that older peoples would have considered unfree (ie my employment depends on the whims of someone else and my labor primarily benefits them.) I go back and forth as to whether having the Internet and air conditioning make up for it.

I used Firefox in the early-mid 00s, switched to Chrome not long after launch, after my colleagues showed me how much slicker is was than a now fairly heavy Firefox (at the time.)

He was at least good at it.

His chief propagandist Joseph Goebbels was really good. Goebbels made propaganda that was way subtler than Hitlers. Nazi cinema created expensive movies under Goebbels until the end. Nobody sees them today but they are very subtle and clever in a way they build a sentiment. Not at all like the short clips they show you.

> That is the main usefulness of chicken, because from vegetable food it is very difficult to get enough proteins without simultaneously getting too many calories.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/28/well/eat/how-much-protein...

"The recommended intake for a healthy adult is 46 grams of protein a day for women and 56 grams for men. And while protein malnutrition is a problem for millions of people around the globe, for the average adult in developed countries, we are eating far more protein than we actually need.

Most American adults eat about 100 grams of protein per day, or roughly twice the recommended amount. Even on a vegan diet people can easily get 60 to 80 grams of protein throughout the day from foods like beans, legumes, nuts, broccoli and whole grains."

> so few people can afford to eat them, even if they might like the idea of vegan food.

Chickpeas, soybeans and other beans can be about 20% protein, lentils about 10%, and they're cheap.

There are a few ways you can approach this problem. Before proceeding with any solution, however, you should make sure that you aren't trying to change something that isn't really broken. For instance, you'll want to make sure that the "E" that appears in the number isn't part of the format of the number—in other words, a designation of exponentiation

Yes, the Nazi appeal was largely a response to the absolutely crazy things that had happened to Germany between 1914 and 1933. Losing a world war, and all the death and humiliation and privation that entails (The winter of 1916 was known as the Turnip Winter, because of food shortages, and that was barely halfway through the war!). Hyperinflation, where an egg might cost a billion marks. Then a Depression! And all the while, a ton of money gets siphoned off to pay reparations to the WW1 allies.

I'm not at all saying Nazism was justified. I'm saying that the insane German experience over the 20 years leading up to it had caused the average German citizen to accept extremely radical solutions.

I think some things that people throw under the FP umbrella are valuable and pragmatic and some aren't.

My point is FP isn't a monolith and the term is a bit of a Rorschach test.

I remember a time when Lisp was considered the quintessential FP language and was taught in schools as an example of the paradigm.

Today, Haskell adherents would scoff at the idea that Lisp is anything but a procedural language dressed up with some casual nods to the lambda calculus.

So your question is somewhat meaningless without qualification, and asking me to set the terms of debate is odd given you're the one who posed the question in the first place.
I'm kind of doing the same thing, usual stint at each of them range between 1-2 years, I'm fine jumping at that point as the company already grew too big for me to be comfortable. All of them are still ongoing, runways have been 6-12 months each time I joined.
wasm runs in your browser. Java does not.
I don't think it's as blanket as that. But there are certain types of comments and particular opinions that set off the collective HN ire. Anyone who has been active a while is likely to incur it at some point. I'd say just try to keep your comments constructive as opposed to merely critical, thus giving a voice to your opinions even when they weigh against the masses.

HN is full of very smart people and these type of effects are common in high intelligence social groups.
Conspicuously missing are any references to Detective Story--a Japanese detective show from the early 80's. From my understanding reading about the series and watching both shows, Cowboy Bebop is basically a riff on that show, but in space. In turn, Detective Story is based on the gritty American action moves of the late 60's to early 80's (think Steve McQueen). I don't think anyone can deny Cowboy Bebop certain has a particular gritty feeling.

Imho this is why the live action version fails to capture the essence of the original. It is strictly derivative of the anime and not the prior art.
True but I use some other extensions anyway. They are:

- Multi Account Containers - does exactly what it says on the tin. I load Google stuff inside a Google container for example, and banking websites all get their own container only used for that purpose.

- Auto Cookie Optout, with their config added to uBlock Origin. Basically automatically clicks "essential cookies only" everywhere it can (it helps to allow loading of these sites automatically in uBlock and uMatrix, otherwise it can't). Possibly not an issue if you're outside the EU, though.

- uMatrix so I have some level of control over what loads when I want it.

- ClearURLs - takes out tracking and unnecessary URL parameters. uMatrix tends to block and warn if you do click one and you can find the dest_url without parameters on its warning page, where ClearURLs fails.

- Decentraleyes - injects resources instead of loading them from CDNs. Quite mixed results with this but it is still on the list for the moment.

- Sideberry, basically another tree style tabs.

Nice testing sites for these extensions are basically any newspaper website or shopping website, which are all thoroughly infested with trackers and such.

> In ML syntax, you don't know how many arguments a function will take, because of currying, and it's a (useful) feature, not a bug.

Currying doesn't change the picture here from the situation in, let's say, C. If it wasn't for "infixr", there would only be one way to parenthesise an expression. Just like in C, you could apply a function of N arguments to N+2 arguments, and the function call would get interpreted by the compiler as function application to N+2 arguments. It's just that there would be a type error, but gramatically, there is no ambiguity about which symbols are used as called functions, and which as arguments to the functions (and to which functions)... as long as you don't use "infixr". Same with a function of N+2 arguments getting N arguments. At some point you get a type error probably, because you're going to get a function, where you expected a non-function; but the type system doesn't influence the building of AST (in this place at least). Looking at the source you know how many arguments are getting applied to what, without even knowing the definitions of functions, as long as you don't play with infix functions.

To make an example, again ignoring infix stuff, given "a b c d e", I know to read the whole expression as application of function a to arguments b, c, d, e. To be even more literal, SML doesn't have multiple-argument functions, all functions take one argument, and I can write it as "((((a b) c) d) e)". Unlike in concatenative languages, the function application doesn't suddenly stop in the middle of this expression, just because a takes fewer arguments than it was given, e.g. this expression can never be interpreted as "((a b) c) (d e)", even if it made more sense from the point of view of types of a, b, c, d, e.

But when you do add infix syntax, then yeah, there is ambiguity, and now AST building is driven by the symbol table a bit.

Does the recruiter want to connect with you before even starting a conversation? Redflag.
‘Factorio’ studio facing backlash after £140 price increase in Russia
> would you then be justified in concluding that a news article about Zanzibar was more likely to be fake because it contained two zees?

I completely agree with you about hidden assumptions. But I don’t think that causal thinking is one of the problems here.

Bayes’ rule applies whether or not the relationship between X and Y is causal. Bayes’ rule is a predictive model and prediction does not need causation.

The problem in the Zanzibar example is that the model is misspecified. Or at least the model specification does not represent how you as a human being with cultural knowledge think about the problem. You look at Zanzibar and see an island in Tanzania. Your model looks at Zanzibar and sees two a’s and two z’s and a few other letters. So it is the wrong implicit assumption about the underlying model that’s giving you “non-sensical” results.
