If you haven't already, do also have a look at Scott Wlaschin's talk "Domain Modeling Made Functional with the F# Type System" (it seems he has a whole book out on it now too) https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/ddd/ (F# and Elm are similar enough that the concepts map directly.)

I've been challenging folks for a while now: What's the economic argument for using JS in a world where Elm exists?

In other words, if you want a front-end app, and you do not care about the technology used to make it (you're not using a particular stack just because you like it) then you should pretty much just use Elm, eh?

If I'm some business owner who wants a web app that works reliably and is cheap to maintain, I don't know or care about the underlying tech stack, it seems like Elm is sooooooo much better than all the JS frameworks and "ecosystem" in terms of the metrics I care about.

Typical objections:

1) JS devs are easier to find.

I would never hire a programmer who can learn and use JS but refuses to learn and use Elm. That's a technician not a programmer.

It's easy to train non-programmers to use Elm. (If you can solve Sudoku you can learn to program.)

2) Elm doesn't integrate with some library or service.

That's an argument for wrapping that lib/service in an Elm module, not against using Elm entirely. (E.g. in Rust you sometimes must use unsafe code but we do not give up the borrow checker entirely.)

3) Evan is mean.

I do not care.

4) I can't control the Elm compiler development.

Elm is simple, write your own compiler.

I've heard that there's work on an Elm-to-native app compiler... Neat.

I wonder whether that is true for all age groups. In very old patients, being somewhat overweight can act as an important energy reserve that allows the patient to survive an illness or a hospital visit. Younger patients generally are more robust, I assume they benefit less from a couple of extra kilos of fat.
> A good choice would be a format that is easily parsed by programs but still readable by the user.

I think the powershell approach is a good one here too: powershell commands output binary streams of objects rather than text and it is powershell itself that has several standard ways of human readable outputs, most of which are automatic (but easily tweaked with an extra pipe or two). Standard human readable forms are nice, and even standardized there's no need to rely on parsing them back out into objects because they are already passed as objects so they can focus a bit more on "pretty" over "parse-able" (such as including human useful things like ellisions `…` on long columns).
> As new investments contract, demand shrinks for services across the industry. As demand shrinks, fewer employees are needed and companies need to reduce headcount to avoid overspending relative to revenues.

As someone who has only taken Econ 101 in college, can you explain

1) why the demand shrinks when there's not enough new investments? Shouldn't demand at least be the same overall (I mean I can see that fewer new houses are built, so the demand for timber might shrink. But that only explains the housing sector. I'd imagine the demand might stay constant for some industry such as transportation)?

2) Related to #2, if demand does not shrink by much, shouldn't the same number of workers be kept employed to fulfill the demand for goods?

If it's true that the contraction of new investments causes shrinkage of demand, it means the economy is heavily reliant on industries/sectors which relies on new investments (aka growth)?

Thank you in advance for elaborating your answer!
Depends where I work.

So there's a spectrum, right? Parag the CEO is probably at one end. Fired, walks with ~$50m. Do you feel bad for him? Is it rude to say "He'll be fine."? No.

Ok now maybe at the other end we've got someone in the rust belt working at a steel mill. No other options. Private equity buys the mill and cans everyone. We both feel bad for that person. Full stop.

I just mean that the average employee of Twitter is way closer to Parag than to the steel mill worker. They're in the Bay. They cashed out at $54.20. There are other places to work. They are educated, connected, and have options. They will also likely get a severance. I think it'd be rude to 90% of the American workforce who struggles every day to not recognize the privilege of the people who will be fired from Twitter by Elon Musk.
The fact that it's been in beta since forever means even the developers don't trust it themselves.
Yep, don't even look at mortgages until housing prices drop in response to the rate increases. Because the amount of total money paid in interest over a 30 loan increased more than 2x over the last year.

I personally believe this won't be a solvable problem, or at least the problem will grow a long tail. One example would be hate groups co-opting the language of the victim group in an intentional manner. Then as the hate group is moderated for their behaviors, the victim group is caught up in the action by intentional user reporting for similar language.

It's a difficult problem to deal with as at least some portion of your userbase will be adversarial and use external signaling and crowd sourced information to cause issues with your moderation system.

Traffic awareness, I'd guess. I use Google just for that whenever I'm away from home (which is a small city, I don't have to go far, and I know all the alternate routes if one is busy).

It is an accurate model that police frequently bust down the doors of people who are suspected of a crime based only on a third party's report, and not because of any investigation or probable cause. It's also accurate that police are trained to escalate extremely quickly, including the use of lethal force. And it's accurate that policing has a culture of unapologetic lethal force.

True, I was imagining (though I see I never actually said this) a situation though where money raised through these properties would go to making other housing cheaper. I'm not an expert in these matters, but it seems to me like using it for rent subsidies might be the way to do it.

A summary from Caltech:

https://www.caltech.edu/about/news/caltech-mathematicians-so...
I bought Samsung Galaxy Book with snapdragon ARM for 200USD from eBay (somehow come brand new) to get experience with cross-compilation for Win 11 ARM emitted on my Win 11 x86 or the laptop itself. On the ARM laptop most of x86 application are running just fine, some has issues (Dropbox), but I was able to get ARM64 executable for basically all important applications (VSCode, Python 3, Notepad++, NET6 SDK).

What I do not understand on Win ARM64 is why x86 processes have blurred GUI. It works fine, but it is very distracting. However at least I know on first look that I am running application in an emulator.
I will attempt translation:

"There exist specific Ideas (Platonic sense), which may become some text and then some concrete book, which have a structure consisting in a "development", made of "successions" and "directions": such ideas can be brought from "indetermination" to some decided form through a sequence of signs that follow (in the concrete plane) the said same structure (in the ideal plane)".

Not exactly the most insightful of insights, to my interpretation. It could work as a premise.

Only: where did you find such quotation? It is not in the submitted page as I received it.

I'd love to be wrong, but I can't think of a single instance where a UN vote did anything meaningful, ever.

No offence, but they're not putting anybody in the electric chair. They're letting people go with pay until almost March - if you can't find a new job in 4 months, it's on you, and maybe they weren't wrong to give you up.

A dynamic job market includes hiring and firings. At most they have to apologize for some disruption, and they more than made up for that with the severance packages.

And about the language - "fire" has a connotation of it being your fault. Being terminated or let go suggests a business decision first, and your performance second. They used the right word.
Ah man, it still looks great in comparison to the stuff in the market today

Speak volumes for the character of the people who are managing the company. Lay off people who helped you get where you are the moment you feel you won't need them in the future.

What avenues have they exhausted before laying off workers?

For example my company during COVID chose to make a temporary 3% reduction to salaries rather than laying off the people. That was that year's minimum salary increase. Basically they took what they gave that year.

Many companies are very disloyal to their workers, vice versa.
Even in this case, it would still probably have to be much bigger penalties than in the current case of London that you mention, to actually make a significant difference to the perpetual housing crisis. Luckily, I am perfectly at ease with the notion of much bigger penalties.

> Yet there are more cars than ever:

Most of that growth is in China, where the car ownership rate is less than half of what it is in Europe, not to mention the US. Tends to happen when a country crosses a certain GDP-per-capita threshold.

> Even if you were right you'd make my point, we use them less but have more of them, since ~50% of a car's environment impact is done before it even leaves the factory, you end up with a net negative

It's actually closer to 15%. Here's a more detailed look:

https://www.greenncap.com/press-releases/lca-how-sustainable...

> also: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/jun/03/car-tyre...

I see this mentioned here and there, but so far air pollution measurements don't follow. Even the most congested of cities rarely exceed particulate emissions limits provided other sources are taken care of.

This quote is significant:

“Tyres are rapidly eclipsing the tailpipe as a major source of emissions from vehicles,” said Nick Molden, at Emissions Analytics, the leading independent emissions testing company that did the research. “Tailpipes are now so clean for pollutants that, if you were starting out afresh, you wouldn’t even bother regulating them.”

So the real story is not that car tyres are so dirty, but that tailpipes are so clean.

Can we abstractly use the terms "bald," "stupid," "fat," "anemic," or "impotent" abstractly and negatively?

All describe generally disfavored conditions folks don't have much control over. Referencing that disfavor abstractly doesn't bring it into being. Ignoring it doesn't make it go away.

This isn't about awareness in my opinion. We're pretending status doesn't exist. We're assuming folks with some condition will be offended and won't be able to handle those emotions with their own agency, so we're patronizing them by carefully policing language. That is, in my opinion, as ableist as it gets.

The government being the only customer of a utility provides it a lot of control and I would say this is an obfuscation of state ownership more than it is actually capitalism.

If it is critical or has the potential to compromise security, it should take however many lines that are required to ensure a safe installation. The landscape today is far too complex to expect simple deployments (one liners) to be safe. A few extra lines is a small tradeoff in that case. I shudder when I see curl|bash type installations being normalized.

That's pretty absolute. There are plenty of people above a certain age who depending on skills, preferences, and savings are in some gray area between working, zero interest in working for pay at all (whether "disgusted" by work or just ready to move on), and will do a little work on the side for the money/human contact/intellectual stimulation etc.

"Firing" would just be the wrong word, since it normally implies that the employee wasn't doing something right. It's a layoff. They're not saying anyone (other than them) did anything wrong.
My annecdata is that I spent two years eating a healthy vegetarian diet (to contrast with french fry vegetarians) and my digestive tract never adapted. I switched back to eating plenty of lean meat (mostly chicken and fish) and the plumbing almost instantly began working properly.

The added benefit is that my diet is much higher in protein and lower in carbs, which definitely has helped me build and maintain muscle and reduce dad bod.

Again, just annecdata, but maybe individuals have differing nutritional profiles that work best for them?

Has it? I'm here for almost as long as HN existed, and I don't remember this being debated. It might have been debated a couple of times in 15 or more years, but it's not like it's some common HN discussion.

I also doubt "most" would consider spam the same issue as the kind of moderation we're talkin about, or that even enough people think it's the same kind of thing as moderation of ideas and opinions and such. In fact, I'd go on to say that people who care for free speech still want spam filters - and don't view this as contradictory or care about the latter.

An enticing idea but simply not the case for any popular existing social network. And it's triply not true on yishan's reddit which both through administrative measures and moderation culture targets any and all communities that do not share the favoured new-left politics.
And massive political pressure on the Fed, again. During the trump years they seemed to buckle under the pressure. With social media and our current political atmosphere I don't see this continuing if people start feeling the pain through job losses. I certainly won't stand for it.

Frankly, I'm tired of the interest rate hammer falling on workers. I find it especially unacceptable when the Fed is jacking rates to reign in wild corporate spending and investor speculation.

Again, everyone has been begging congress for better tools but they choose inaction until the Fed is forced to use the one tool they have.

I see this round as the Fed quickly trying to get things under control when they have safe harbor with Biden. Given a Trump/Republican administration again I expect the gloves to come off when they demand cheap debt for the investor class under the guise of helping workers. Magically, the Republicans know how to fix the economy (until it explodes and it's Binden's fault), or so goes the trope.
