The thing that really made Haskell click for me was learning OCaml. I was getting confused about little things such as whether a particular token was a type or a value, particularly with some of the more advanced extensions enabled. Learning OCaml gave me a secondary perspective on the ML family, and now I can comfortably navigate Haskell code more or less.

Good lenses are important - I was sceptical but I'm much happier with my Seiko 1.74 double aspheric than with my old glasses which were Specsaver's 1.74 aspherics: flatter front and less distortion and rainbow effects (chromatic aberration). If you have money to burn you can also get personalised 'free form' lenses made using the same machines used for custom varifocals.

However this only becomes important if you have a strong prescription and buying online is dangerous if you have a strong prescription, especially astigmatism. You can send them your horizontal PD but they have no way of knowing the vertical component without seeing how the frames sit on your face (which depends on your nose and ears).

Some of the better online specialists will send you the frame with dummy lenses for you to mark your pupils on with a marker, and you then send them back to be glazed.

> Three weeks ago, an industry newsletter, The Information, reported that the share of Republican-aligned contributions from employees of Google, Apple, Amazon and Meta this election cycle tripled to 15 percent in 2022 from 5 percent in 2020.

> In 2017, David Broockman, Gregory Ferenstein and I conducted the first large-scale survey of the founders of technology companies. We found that they were heavily Democratic, with over 75 percent indicating that they supported Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. Yet technology founders were unusual in that they took liberal positions on wealth redistribution but conservative positions on regulating the economy, particularly the labor market. Their basic worldview is to let the free market operate and then redistribute after the fact through taxes and transfers.

> What changed? While our survey found that technology founders were extremely liberal on social issues like gay marriage, abortion and gun control, I question whether the same can be said for more recent social divides around transgender rights, racial equity and the penumbra of other issues surrounding the concept of “wokeness.”

With lenses, yes, higher refractive index, coatings and the like drive up the price. The features are worth it, but some brands have massive margins on what is essentially the same highly automated processes.

>* Lighter, thinner frames and frameless options.

Your average person is not going to feel the extra 5g from a "cheaper frame". Most expensive frames are also hilariously cheap to make at the same factory.

>* Hinges that open a bit more than 90deg and flex back with a spring, so the temples will adapt to the head better. Better hinge materials (e.g. I've had hinges wear out).

That is buying undersized glasses. The "expensive frames" are just tailoring to people in denial of their head size. Though the other problem is, it's cheaper for a brand to make more of the same undersized frame, and add a spring hinge instead of offering frame designs in two sizes. Economy of scale for stamped process frames.

> * Titanium or memory metals instead of plastic of aluminum.

True titanium is a difficult metal to work with. The "Titanium frames" are largely a scam of some titanium alloy because it's actually usable to manufacture in such small frames. The end result is those frames break all the same.

The biggest problem is titanium work hardens. It is a strong metal but it essentially fatigues and snaps like copper. Make it thin like for glass frames and you allow it to start flexing and work hardening over time. Other applications of titanium don't make the metal thin enough to allow that to happen.

>* "Aesthetics" and minor add-ons like laser engraving.

Yea you pay for the "design". Laser engraving addons are sometimes available for cheap frames tho.
We can start with: is the top N% of pollution generators, independently tracking particulates, greenhouse gasses, plastic waste, pfas, fly ash, water pollutants, etc.

Make N% approximately 10%.

You've then got a pretty good start on "harmful".
I think this is just a wordplay that abuses the imprecision of the word 'want'. For example, a drug addict wants (as in has a very strong internal, biology- and subconsious-driven desire for) heroin, but doesn't want to want it (as in when thinks about it consciously).
The simple example is fixable by anchoring the inner greedy expression, i.e.

regex = re.compile(r'(^a+)+b')

Perhaps the more general problem was that "The regular expression that was causing the issue here was rather long and convoluted".

A good rule seems to be never have long and convoluted regexs, instead have a pipeline of simple-to-understand regexes that can be independently debugged (I don't know if this could cause performance slowdowns however).
It's more common than you'd think. Consider the case of an app that consumes a component library. One is building a component in one project, and then consuming it in another project. `npm link` makes this trivial. While I totally prefer building things in isolation, there are often little edge cases that crop up once a library is added to an app. Sometimes it's easier just to consume a lib in a "real world scenario".
Too easy! StyleGAN always puts a characteristic weird blob somewhere on the edge of the image.
> I wonder though, why is it that much more important to offer an animal slightly better welfare so we can murder it?

The general view appears to be that gratuitous suffering is bad, but that animal life is not sacred. From the secular perspective, neither is human life for that matter (see: pro-choice), but we have a social contract with each other as persons, and not beings with low or nil consciousness. Indigenous tribes would also tell you that for as much as they respect animals, their death is no object - apropos, would you tell them they should join us and relocate to where heavily fertilized land is?

> These animals are slaves that get murdered in horrifying conditions 99.9% of the time.

Life in seclusion with plentiful food and no predators in itself is less stressful than surviving in the wild, without the important confounding factor that is conditions in large conventional farms. There's no reason to assume the small farm one knows and buys meat from is "horrifying". That's not denying that they can exist, but you can't extrapolate that most farmers are in it to be cruel - this is a conclusion in search of evidence. Have you ever known farmers?

I see a lot of anecdotes and adjectives in these discussions, and not enough evidence.

> I don't think there’s such a thing as ethical meat

Because you object to any and all killing of animals for meat. You made this clear when you opened with "murder".

I feel bad that my tax money is going to be spent to feed crypto scammers when they end up in jail. I wonder if we could come up with a law that makes crypto-related fraud, scams, hacking and theft completely legal? After all, one of the main selling points of crypto has been that they do not want to have anything to do with centralized government, so why should government care? Let them sort it themselves.

(There are some challenges with this idea on what comes to violence and threat of violence, as I am not probably willing to make those legal in any case, but maybe those could be solved somehow.)
But from what I understood from the article is that they halting withdrawals of cash, the crypto themselves seems fine...

I assume it is because of the permissions feature of Deno. If so, at what extent(s) does Deno provide security if I have a deep, deep [npm] dependency that, for instance, reads file, i.e. needs file system permission? Do I have to specify every single permission for each dependency? Does Deno have some kind of "dependencies file" that allows to specify dependencies' permissions?

It's not specific to crypto. Theranos was a similar fraud, and so was WeWork.

From a legal perspective there are no required internal controls on the flow of crypto going in and out. Apparently when there is a couple of hundred million worths of crypto sitting in a wallet, it becomes real tempting to go to the racetrack so to say.

Also, most of these exchanges have their own tokens which they control the supply of and keep as "assets" on their books. In doing so they can use these self printed tokens as collateral for loans. Add to that some nicely leveraged positions in all kinds of shitcoins and you start to understand how we got here.
Because in the US violation of these rights is a criminal matter, not a civil one.
Let the record show that I have always supported (explicit) regulation of cryptocurrency. In addition I have always held the opinion that Ripple is a security, not a cryptocurrency, and that it should never have been tolerated by the SEC. The reality there is that no one is actually doing anything about anything unless there's a big scandal. Maybe FTX will change things.
‘Dark Ships’ Emerge from the Shadows of the Nord Stream Mystery
Exactly, why do we keep absolving people from their personal decisions, expecting society to take the hit from the personal risks they take is beyond me.

I came here to see if this book made the list. I read it the summer before taking AP Physics. It made that class a breeze. Still, I'm impressed it made this list given it's not a CS book.
I think this is an odd take, given that it was the WSJ that broke the Theranos story and CoinDesk that broke the FTX story.

Yes, true investigative reporting is rare (and expensive), but good work is still being done.

For the media at large, given the volume of stuff you can read, much of it is plain "story-telling" or "narratives", and I do think the media is more likely to go with things that fit the narrative of the day than look at things with a critical eye.

With Theranos, the media absolutely wanted to highlight a "female Steve Jobs", and Holmes used that to her advantage. Similarly, with SBF, given all the smarmy characters in crypto, he fit the narrative of "the good guy", "the next JP Morgan" coming to save the financial system for good.

There's a similar thing seen with authors - as they get more famous, apparently editors find it harder and harder to get them to rewrite their works, and later books can swell in size for no real advantage.

As you get richer and more famous, it becomes harder and harder to find an editor/friend you will trust to tell you you're being stupid. You can use the internet at large (that's always full of people to tell you you're stupid) but it can be quite hard to filter.

But the WHOLE point of crypto was to avoid governmental control. If the government is regulating it that means they can control it. And it becomes completely worthless. If you want digital gold as an inflation hedge you can literally buy a GLD ETF. It gives you digital shares in actual GOLD.

I would say... mostly true? The 96% isn't as sobering as it first sounds because most races are not competitive at all.

https://www.opensecrets.org/outside-spending/by_race/2022?di...

Many have literally $0 by outside spenders (ignoring the parties themselves).

On the other hand you don't see a ton of money going to non-competitive races because it doesn't really matter. The politician doesn't benefit all that much so it's not exactly a great way to earn favors. Or at least, that's what I'd assume. Lobbying is cheaper than people expect but a lot of these totals are so low I can't imagine it really matters to anyone.

The highest spending race was Nevada 3. With ~$15M for Republicans and ~$5M for Democrats. Predicted a likely democrat Win by 538 and ultimately won by democrats 52-48. Contradicting kind of all points here we're making. It's fuzzy of course. Need to get money out regardless.

I'm stoked to see someone preaching this to CEOs. I don't know how common this advice is given to other CEOs, but it's the first time I've seen it.
I vouched for your post because you posted that companies abuse visas, with links. I don't see why it was flagged.

As far as Meta, I don't understand why recent articles criticize it. The engineers themselves are just posting on LinkedIn to seek new opportunities. This was Meta's first layoff and they're paying people for 3-4 months before the 60 day period even begins.

And when locals are let go, coworkers say "Oh, but it's good that you're not on a Visa". Should that really be a factor Meta takes into account when laying people off?

And for many tech companies, many or most of their engineering employees are on Visa; it's expected that percentage reflected in the layoffs, too.

Aside from Visas, Meta had a hiring freeze below E7 for most roles since May, which might be seen as a signal they were trying to preserve existing employees in favor of onboarding new ones.

Also, many people who last more than a week are later let go right before stock vests. Most everyone in that position will have wished they were let go their first week and got paid for four months, while they accept another offer from that same interview cycle.
