My guess is that most people using Haskell (and OCaml and Standard ML) are using it for internal tool such as program verification/analysis/transformation. It's not that Haskell/OCaml/Standard ML should not be used for backend services (i.e. APIs in a hot spot [at faceboook's scale anyway]). It's just that (in my experience) they're most commonly used for out-of-band analysis or developer lifecycle systems.
I need to send this to my brother.

He was the one in our household and social circle to figure out that the counter on the PC version of Tetris was only 16 bits. You maxed out at 65k, not 1 million.

He hit that not by maxing out the score before level 29, but by just learning to push through level 30. He would sit in that office for hours playing a single game, chair pushed back, elbows on knees, looking like a baseball player waiting to clear the bench.

A wonderful article. As a lover of art history, Notre Dame is an interesting example of European living art. As a former Catholic now atheist, I just don't know exactly how I feel about it's symbolism.

I never had doubt that the cathedral would be rebuilt, though. A few years to rebuild is merely a wink in the time it took to, "finish" it.
Fair enough. Then let's go with: not properly tested and approved in alignment with tradition.

The rub for many was / is the quickness of the process in contrast with the cock-sureness of the narrative (i.e., don't worry about it...just trust us...). There was also the disconnect between "trust the science" vs limited data and the shutting down of any question. Real Science is fearless.

Congrats on the launch! One of the founders of Permify is here. We love this approach and Google Zanzibar paper, as we're a taking pretty similar approach with Permify but as an Open-source product.[1]

As some mentioned there are legacy tools like AWS Cognito, which mostly focuses on authentication and simpler authorization use cases. But it's evident for us, that in order to solve these problems you have mentioned[2] we need a product which can cover more complex use cases and easier to start with.

To add credence to this post, I once heard an interview with an incarcerated burglar who claimed that dogs where the one deterrent that scared him off. He said that an alarm as only as good as the response times of the police and he's usually in and out of there in five minutes anyway. But who wants to risk it with a dog? Better to just move on to the next house.

A few more tips:

- Best place to hide valuables is in the kitchen pantry. Master bedroom is the most common place, but who is gonna think to go through your snack food.

- A lot of burglaries happen in the winter in the late afternoon or early evening when it is starting to get dark out, but before the homeowners get home from work.

- Your house is only as strong as the weakest link. Fancy locks can be bypassed by breaking a window. Design your security system to handle low level burglars (who probably don't know how to pick a lock), not foreign spies. For most people, this also holds true for online security.
> No source animal was found.

Since this was a food market, it's possible and likely that all the source animals were eaten by the time the study was being done.
> There is a vocal segment of the tech community that wants to understand and debate everything

This is healthier than demanding compliance. It's how tech was built in the first place. A "vocal segment" (debatable) that advocates conversation is better than a group that demands compliance.

> It's like a 2 year old child who keeps asking "why?"

now, now, now. comparing colleagues to children for curiosity could be seen as "hurtful". Would you like to be told to "keep [your] mouth shut" for that?
I bet you someone from the red states saw that one guy trying to off Kavagnaugh and said they'd only sign on to CHIPS in exchange for better security funding for SCOTUS. The majority gets their chip fab funding and the holdout rep gets to brag about protecting SCOTUS from "liberal extremists" or whatever. This is a trade.

One thing people misunderstand about Congress is that it is primarily a negotiating body. That's why bills have so many unrelated provisions in them - these are not just laws, they are contracts between lawmakers. International treaties work the same way, too. Merely getting program Y or Z into a bill containing program X means that it's a package deal now. Either it all passes or it all fails, and the reps that pushed for Y or Z now have to vote for X, too.

(This is vaguely related to the reason why the line-item veto is unconstitutional. If you could just sign X while vetoing Y and Z, that'd be like striking the data caps out of your cable contract and then suing Comcast for breach of a contract they never signed.)
Your comment is orthogonal to the parent's comment and there's no reason to assign malice to the commenter.

It's quite plausible that the CCP is lying and the paper authors are honest about their findings. The problem is the analysis is only as good as the inputs. From the article:

> "Chinese government notified the World Health Organization (WHO) of an outbreak of severe pneumonia of unknown etiology in Wuhan...after careful examination of reported case histories..."

Note that:

1. The CCP claims the virus was unknown to them.

2. The CCP is in charge of what case histories are analyzed, and can carefully select those which point away from the lab leak.
I wanted to do a repository search on gitlab, as I often do on github to look for existing software projects to build off of. This because a project I found was hosted on gitlab, and I thought there might be others as well if I looked for them. After creating an account I was able to search some of the keywords from the description of the one project I found, but very few results turned up; notably missing was the very project I found initially. I've noticed that github will sometimes rate limit me after performing a few too many searches, but I there approach is still better than gitlab's in this regard. I see this, among other things, as a serious deficiency of gitlab as a replacement for github in the space of hosting open software projects, as many have positioned it to be.

> Never is too late. But, if they update = someone use this camera.

Cameras don't age like software or phones, this is why I like them.

A 10 year old DSLR like the Nikon D7100 (I have one) is still a very modern camera and it'll be good for a few decades to come.

(Sadly this is why good companies like Nikon struggle financially, since there is no forceful upgrade treadmill unlike for phone companies. But as a consumer I absolutely love being able to buy something solid that'll work for decades.)
I don't think that calling someone what they prefer to be called is a political issue.

I personally don't know any right-wingers that wouldn't call you by the name/gender that you request them to. These people probably exist but it is a very small group.

Theres a difference between disagreeing with the concept at a societal level vs disrespecting someone on a personal level. Far fewer people do that.
> but neither is quick.

I had the same experience, so I assigned a keyboard shortcuts Cmd+Shift+F and Cmd+Shift+H for global search and home, and that mitigated it a little bit. These should have had shortcuts out-of-the-box.

It's still a little awkward to get out of the search mode and back to editing mode. What would be ideal is hitting "Esc" should take you back to the listing mode and move cursor back to the last edit location.
Companies by definition are collections of people with disparate opinions, the only unifying political ideology that can exist in that circumstance is continuance of the company as an entity unto itself and maximise its own profits.

it's unethical, then, to allow them to make policy as they're considerably more powerful than the individual, much less empathetic and optimise for extremely self-serving behaviours.
The Schopenhauer quote reminded me of Saucer-like by Sonic Youth. I always found this line beautiful and now wonder if Lee borrowed the idea from Schopenhauer or if it's just a coincidence:

Yeah, basically, that's my entire argument.
In the 1980s a philosopher named Stanly Cavell was asking whether surgeons could intentionally operate on people without pain-suppressing anethesia, provided the patient would remember nothing of it. Chapter-length discussions IIRC.

My simple reaction was always this: Yes it would affect the humanity of the surgeons themselves to do so.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is also a below-conscious-memory level of trauma memory as well, so superficial amnesia might not be enough for the patient to be "unaffected".
To delete an entity or not? That's the question

I was once returning to Vancouver. Ahead of me in the Canada Customs` line was a woman and a boy around 6 years old. He was singing the Alphabet Song; when he triumphantly got to `Ecks, Why, and Zee’, the woman said `Stop it! They’ll think we’re Americans’.

She had a point, it’s `Zed’.
I like the website!

There is no “testing” going on here, unfortunately. You’re just taking turns placing users in the treatment or control group, arbitrarily, depending on when they visit the page. How can you measure any treatment effect when everyone is part of either group?

I guess you could try something like switchback testing, but I’m not convinced visits to the average Twitter profile will yield enough samples.

I think it’s a well-executed idea, but I don’t think it’s fair to sell results under the guise of statistical validity when they don’t appear to have that. (although it’s just Twitter profiles, not eg medical treatment, so no real harm done)

In Switzerland (Europe but not EU I suppose) it would be illegal to have a home security camera in a public area like this - dashcams aren't legal for the same reason, they invade privacy without a justified lawful reason.

Being in the background of someone else's holiday photo isn't a problem, but you can't just post publicly identifying photos of people where they are the subject of the photo if you do not have consent.
I don't know to what degree there's truth in it, but Marion Koopmans has been in hot waters over her connections to the Chinese government. Last year, she has also publicly stated that the search started too late, and that they have negotiated about the outcome with the Chinese government (e.g., https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2021/03/30/een-goed-resultaat-a403..., paywalled).
> Or, we could continue down our current path of Orwellian new-speak, where a new group of religious extremists deem ever more language as blasphemous and everyone joins the witch-burners for fear of being labelled a witch themselves.

We don't do that here. If a belief or position or ideology is bad, you should be able to skewer the actual position rather than an exaggerated strawman of it.

> The Earth adapts

This right here is where I get tripped up. Let's imagine we find out that Mars has no life, and we start mining it in the future. Would it also be fair to say that "Mars adapts" to that? If so, what does "adapt" really mean here? Does a rock adapt to being broken up?

So I figure you mean life on the Earth (as we know it, or not). Adapt in the sense of evolution. Living systems adapt by replicating, varying, and having some of the variations being selected against, among other mechanisms. If the Earth is a single meta-organism or something like that, it has never been selected against, has never replicated, and has a population of one. How much of ordinary biology translates to an organism that strange?

I guess it often seems like a metaphor being conflated with a theory, to me.
> Your identity can only be restored at this point if you believe your identity is fully detached from your brain,

Right.

> in which case then you may believe your identity will continue to exist in an unknown state that as far as I know has never been measured or confirmed in human history.

Right again, but note that this conclusion turns on the absence of observation. It's possible that dualism is true and we just have not yet invented the right instruments to measure it. The germ theory of disease, and even atoms themselves, were once treated with the same skepticism for the same reason.

Yes, dualism is false. But ruling it out is not easy.

> I think you perhaps do not understand the text of 1984, never mind the subtext. In the novel, Newspeak is a part of intense and total historical revisionism in support of a coherent government agenda enforced by a powerful central authority, not a decentralized and gradual change in the language people use "enforced" only socially.

Misunderstanding 1984 is extremely common. Especially amongst people who haven't read it.
It feels unsafe to store dot files in source control as the article mentions. Is this a common practice? They could contain sensitive information and I fear people might be tempted to push to GitHub.

The first two cured patients (unsure about the third) were also cured by a similar bone marrow transplant from a resistant donor (and I think leukemia was also present?).

> Meta’s primary supported server-side languages are Hack, C++, Rust, and Python.

Makes sense.
Python because ML.

Rust because of performance.

C++ and Java because all-the-things.

Go because 75% of all cncf.io projects are Go.

Haskell because elitism.

Erlang because stability.

/s

I think the real story is that migrating off PHP was too hard, so Hack was started which required a substantial C++ employee pool which meant that Rust was the ideal replacement to all of this skipping the Java/Kotlin and Go ecosystems altogether.

So not just scale at play here, a cause-and-effect of past hiring decisions.
I honestly did not expect this topic to be this controversial.

As a reader, I am always disappointed when a HN submission gets torn apart disproportionally to its original scope (just look at every submission on the topic of dieting, psychedelics, microservices, TSLA).

On the other hand, it does make me happy to see that lots of people are unable to relate to the uncomfortable social situation the author describes. In a naive way, I hope that means the commenters haven't experienced it, rather than having experienced but not noticed it.

1984 might not have had the subtlety of what is happening today, but isn't that true of most literary evils? It was written post-communist takeover of Russia. Post-Weimar Germany. It abstracted much of what actually happened and what was being attempted throughout the world as power struggles erupted under instability.
Ask HN: Has the war in Ukraine changed your view on working on Defence projects?

Let's say Intel takes the deal and trades some ownership percentage for some funds to build more fabs. Suddenly the US government has a multi-billion dollar reason to provide political support for whatever is good for Intel. It's inherently favorable to incumbents who have the market share to make a favorable deal, regardless of whether or not those incumbents are best able to build world-class fabs.

The government has plenty of demand-side tools to on-shore development without hurting competition or playing favorites with large incumbents. The DoD and DoE are massive semiconductor purchasers and have a lot of leverage in the market who can adjust their procurement strategies to promote American interests. That's not entirely without the opportunity for corruption and grift either, but at least there's more accountability.

I mean, I think we basically agree that handouts to large semiconductor companies without anything in return is a bad idea.

> I knew a mother who allowed her kids to question everything all the time.

One of the parenting rules my mother enforced in our family was that she would refuse perfectly valid requests seemingly at random. Her explanation? "You have to learn to take a "no" gracefully." These were also the scenarios where attempting to argue or seek a special exemption just this once only hardened her resolve not to give in. I greatly disliked this as a kid, but grew to see the value in it as an adult.

This is a little complicated to answer. "Lobbying" as a word without cultural context just refers to presenting issues to representatives, which is critically important in democracy. In the US it comes alongside "Buying time" via gifts and hosting and political donations which would be considered bribery and corruption anywhere else with a functional democracy.

Basically, where it is illegal, they don't call it lobbying.
