> Elm is stagnant. There's been no release since October 2019. It's a problem because there are known bugs.

There are. I have never encountered them in my life but yeah there are. Fork it if they're really holding you back

> Elm is also unstable; there's no guarantee Evan won't break things in the next release.

I'm showing my privilege as someone who started with elm with 0.19 after all the big emergent patterns had emerged, but here goes: the FFI workaround that was broken from 18 to 19 was telegraphed for years. Earliest mention about it being disfavored I can find is from 2015 [1]. Conversely with 0.19.1 we get "If you like what you see now, that's pretty much what Elm is going to be for a while." [2] Ports and Custom elements make it such a non-issue to interact with JS while keeping your state in elm that it's just never held me back shrug.

> It's a bad combination. A fork could in theory fix this. Has anyone done it, though?

Gren, Derw, and eventually Roc compiled to JS/WASM could all do it I guess. Remains to be seen, but it's a very exciting space right now. It's a bit like The Velvet Underground: they only sold 20k records, but everyone who bought a copy started a band (or so the saying goes).

For the record, I agree with your points in your original post regarding the nature of free speech and with regard to the Overton window for tolerable speech (if there is such a thing).

I disagree with the notion that Yishan made a mistake in how he wrote about spam. You used that as a basis for disclaiming his conclusions.

Yishan was not making a point about free speech, he was making the point that effective moderation is not about free speech at all.
No idea. Might be some soft collusion going on. I can't imagine the industry has a ton of players.

It's weird because it feels like the younger generation is devoid of original thought, and completely lacking in logic. Everything is run on emotion.

Eh, you're overthinking the vaccine story. It's unsurprising that the UK had better access to vaccines: the UK is one of the world's biggest medical industry centers.

The point about inflation and recession is not that it isn't happening elsewhere: it's just that it's worse in the UK. It's also kind of obvious that putting a tariff on all your exports (leaving the common market) is bad for the economy.

I suspect brexit is more a symptom than a cause. The UK has had horrible economic growth for over a decade now, largely driven by a political system that concentrates power in the hands of not particularly competent people.
What does the data collection end of this look like? In a home IOT setup, for example, you'd typically have a single machine (Border Router in a Thread setup) collecting all the data from each node.

I understand the "field device" -> "satellite" uplink step. But, what's the next step? Another device just for downlink data would eat through the data cap in no time.
Yep, it is. Lot's of jargon. But it's the jargon used every day, by everyone up and down an org, in an attempt to be polite. It's not an attempt to use new language in a way as to absolve themselves of responsibility. Give them a break, they probably (rightly) have their egos and lives wrapped up in this business and feel kind of stupid right now. Just because they are successful it doesn't mean they are robots.

It's really not, they just knew it would be leaked and are getting ahead of it. They aren't fools.
> Non-profits funded by grants. Employee owned businesses funded by loans.

Serious question: is there any evidence to suggest that non-profits and employee-owned businesses are on average better at serving the public good?

There are power asymmetries inside non-profits and employee-owned businesses, and these can lead to the 'power brokers' inside these organizations steering or commandeering the organizations for their own benefit.

You must hang out in a very different place, then. I see much more outcry when 3rd parties come between willing speakers and recipients, with most of the rest being people misrepresenting censorship as moderation because it allows them to justify it.

Ask HN: Is This Linguistic Theory Testable?
I have a question. I believe that there may be several linguistic threads that exist side by side that are cross cultural. It's difficult to explain, but in essence, I believe that there are groups of books that are read by certain cultural groups regardless of language or genre. Each of these cohorts of books have differing language within them, which themselves may alter the way people think (to the extent that free will is governed by the language we use). It may be possible to catalog and document what these cultural book strains are using a neural networks and language clustering, but I don't know the amount of work that would be needed to make a project useful and falsifiable. I think this could have several useful applications. Here's a bit of what I'm describing -

That only works with simple filesystems, though; it'll fall apart if your root filesystem uses, say, compression, encryption, or possibly any RAID except mirroring (depending on the details and what the bootloader can handle).
> they're not putting anybody in the electric chair.

I think you're reacting to hyperbole that is simply not present in the post to which you've responded. I have not compared this situation to any sort of life and death situation. I agree that Stripe's treatment of the people they've laid off is better than some other companies. I have merely commented on the language used in this and similar announcements.

> Being terminated or let go suggests a business decision first, and your performance second. They used the right word.

... except they never say in the active voice, "We're laying off ..." or "We're terminating ...". They repeatedly choose phrasing that make the former employees the subject. And "let go" is itself a euphemism invented for this purpose. "_they're_ going; we just let them"
This.

For all the faults with Flash (security primarily) it gave so many people an easy way into games development.

We’re missing this today.

Just getting the environment setup for a lot of game engines today is beyond today’s teenagers (and to be fair, me - both in terms of required knowledge and attention span), whereas 40 years ago, you just turned your computer on and boom - a flashing cursor. You had to type things to even load games.

Real estate is, unironically different this time. A key component in this run up vs the last is, last time rents did not increase nearly as much as home prices. In 2005-2006 I was paying $2200/mo to rent a house worth $1 million. And no, it wasn't rent controlled.

That rent prices haven't massively dislocated from housing prices makes me think it's not the same situation.

I agree the paper claims that the net health benefit of drinking for the average person is negative.

1) However, it also shows some benefits associated with drinking for prevention of specific diseases.

2) It also shows only minor net health issues for moderate drinking.

> The "Reserved" partition on Windows machines isn't really a boot partition, for any meaningful definition of it. It's just … reserved, and MS being MS. On my machine, it's empty (unformatted, all 0s). It is lightly documented here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufactu...

IIRC, that "reserved" partition is to allow converting the data partition which follows it to a "dynamic disk" (which AFAIK, is Microsoft's equivalent to a Linux LVM PV). That conversion needs to grow the partition backwards to prepend some headers, and that extra space comes from shrinking the reserved partition just before it.

Once I used a really REALLY good formatter like prettier for JS or elm-format for elm I got it. I realized that I don't care about the format, I care to see the jump from unformatted to formatted that means what I wrote is valid syntax. The leading commas (a convention but not actually necessary for elm) make diffs easy and make lists a bit easier to read. The syntax is almost the same in Haskell, but Ormolu puts the commas at the end and somehow it's harder to pick apart complicated list entries. Can't really explain why.
When people pay large amounts of money for watches, they are doing so for premium materials and exquisite workmanship (brand is often a large factor too, of course).

> Grid north is the blue line on an OS map that points to the North Pole.
> True north is the direction of lines of longitude that also converge at the North Pole, but this varies from grid north as it reflects the curve of the earth.
> Magnetic north marks the north-ward line to the magnetic North Pole.

If these are all 'lines' (or circles/rings on the Earth, or vectors) wouldn't it be more accurate to say that they've all converged to a single 'line', rather than a point? And wouldn't that mean there's a band around the Earth where they all point the same way? In that case, there must be loads of other points where these different norths have aligned, so what's so special about this particular village? Or am I fundamentally misunderstanding the geometry of this?
As noted in the quotes you yourself pulled, what OP "agree[s] with" "[t]ech executives and investors" about is tech coverage that is "highly oppositional at all times and occasionally unfair."

No one is saying you can't be critical of your own employer. They are saying there are repercussions to being critical and loss of employment is a common one which should be expected.

They choose to employ us and can replace us.
The way I understand it current price of the stock is set by active investors. Passive investors have no influence on the price. If I tell my 401 (k) to put in 5% of my salary to the S&P 500 every paycheck, I have not shown a preference as to whether the S& p 500 should be set at 3,719 (as it is today) or 3,000, or zero.

But if you object to the term "emotion" when describing active investors then let's just say that the stock price is often set by changes in the price to earnings multiple, which usually has nothing to do with the actual value of a company and is inexplicable outside hand wavy appeals to social psychology.
Numerous economists spent years informing everyone the downsides of the UK leaving the EU. And pointing out that there was no way the the EU would allow the UK to keep the benefits of open trade with the bloc while not having to accept the "downsides" the UK was seeking to avoid.

So when Brexit happened, and all those predictions happened, the only thing really to say is, "we told you so."

The British economy has been hurting so much worse than the rest of the world. The British pound has fallen 14% against the dollar compared to the Euro, which only fell by 10%.

They are completely unable to sell bonds now. At this point, they are being forced to buy their bonds in order to keep the market for their bonds from total collapse. This is only going ot further erode the value of the pound and continue to make inflation in England the worst in the developed world.

The UK is going through everything the EU is, plus a bunch of self-imposed issues. They are in a leadership crisis and an economic crisis, and their near-to-mid term economic prospects are bleak.

To some extent, yes. We do have the Senate confirm Fed chairs, and their terms are 5 years, which overlaps into the next administration. Biden and the Democrat Senate refused to confirm Powell for his second term for over a year. It wasn't really until after he was confirmed for his second term that the Fed turned hawkish. Could be coincidental. Still, let's not pretend that the Fed is free of political influence and pressure from all sides.

Which would include investigative coverage when appropriate.

Your comment is perfectly reasonable and doesn't deserve downvote. I have seen the FT report on YouTube - it is excellent and worth a watch.

(As an aside, our national newspapers, mostly right-wing and Conservative-supporting, have poisoned political discourse for decades in the UK. The FT is the only national newspaper with a higher standard of journalism than the others.)

Mostly column A, a little column B.

There's also a big chunk of column C: the leading opposition party did a terrible job of opposing it. There was a chunk of the Labour party, including its leader, who also favor Brexit, albeit a very different kind of Brexit from the Tories. For them, it's more about anti-globalism and anti-corporate-control.

That leader eventually resigned, but by that point the damage was done.

I can't predict what would have happened if the Labour party had chosen to unify on a pro-Europe platform, but they were soundly defeated. The Tory party won resoundingly, and they had run on a pro-Brexit platform.

There is always skullduggery, but it's really just something the UK did to itself.
