I'm probably pretty accurate differentiating African from South American coffees, the flavours are pretty different. I'm not that great at this sort of stuff either, certainly not a food critic. But hey, some people can't tell the diff between pepsi and coke.

Assumes they're roasted nicely, otherwise it's comparing ashtrays with pencil shavings.
Because it's 20 years old, but as I said I might do it eventually.

Still torn about open-source, I believe more in source-available + license fee.

The way it works now no single dev. code can be commercially viable except closed source.
I suspect that is true in general - but in the particular of Twitter I wonder if it legally counts as "garden leave" to get around the WARN act, meaning that those people are still "employed" by Twitter for the purposes of the H1B.

It'd be kinda annoying if they could have it one way for the WARN act and it was another way for the H1B.
I think OP is suggesting that the position could be filled locally. Should H1-B be used to fill junior or mid-level positions? Certainly these positions require a lot of training and development work on the part of the company hiring them. That certainly is an argument against the applicants being at a high skill level.
I love programming, but man I'm tired of software development.I want to build MVPs that work 95% of the time and let someone else handle the rest...
Yea I think probably most people can tell the difference between $6, $20 and $50 and then struggle beyond that (and beyond that it is very subjective).

But for 'crap' 'ok' and 'good' and 'good+' categories I think it's actually fairly straight forward.
The V-2 Rocket: Changing the Trajectory of Warfare
I learned the secret in my mid-20s whilst brewing my own cider as a poor student.

Take some decent apple juice without preservatives. Add a bit of yeast; baking yeast for bread at the supermarket will do just fine. Observe basic sanitation principles. Add some sugar, perhaps 150 g per litre of juice. Leave the concoction in a cool, dry place for a few months. A one-way seal for the CO2 release is preferable (a balloon works) but is not strictly required; leave the cap on loose. Carefully pour off the result into a new vessel. Let this settle for another month.

A very palatable drink results at about 4 - 5% alcohol by volume. People figured this out thousands of years ago. And they did not have plastic bottles, germ theory, or infinite hot water on tap. It's trivial to make an alcoholic beverage. The rest is finesse. And posturing.
You're looking at this the wrong way. The paper isn't showing Haskell is gnarly for a basic problem, it's using a basic problem to demonstrate a particular technique that you can use in Haskell. There are plenty of simpler ways to implement this kind of thing in Haskell, and even some that are both simpler and show off some of the more unique features of Haskell. The goal here wasn't "let's find the best way to write fizzbuzz in Haskell", it was "let's show off how to build an interpreter to solve problems, using a small problem everyone is familiar with".

Haskell isn't ill-suited for something like fizzbuzz at all, it's just _also_ suited for things like quickly writing interpreters and solving problems that way when it makes sense.

Interesting discussion, lots of good points all around. Thanks to you both.
It needs more analysis to determine if it's actually a net positive on the environment. People may travel more in their day, live more remotely, houses (as far as I know) aren't as well built as offices and use more energy per sq ft during the day, etc.

Technically if you want to optimize emissions reductions, you should eliminate homes, not offices. If everyone lived in the office we would all use less energy!

Anyways, transportation for commuting is one of the smallest buckets of emissions. So if it is a net positive it's still not moving the needle in a meaningful way.
A fun way, though maybe there are much more productive ways, is to learn Scheme and/or Lisp, and, with a language that has a library for it, convert the html to a big s-expression. Then you have it in a form that is the form of the language itself, where you can literally do anything with it.
I don't want to derail this discussion of cycling, which is awesome, but what would global emissions look like if all cargo vessels in the ocean had to have fission reactors like US aircraft carriers, instead of burning the cheapest, most environmentally damaging oil possible in a global no-mans-land free of environmental laws?
Author here, thought I'd share my experience with 'blackboxes' one might encounter as they're getting started on their hacker journey. Would love any feedback from the HN community!
I love the idea of a statically typed scripting language! Overall it seems pretty cool.

Really the biggest distraction is that the static typing is lost between int and float with the catch-all num type. I think this will make it harder to program in, not easier (reasoning about where NaN, Inf, under/overflow, rounding etc might occur will depend on some choice it makes internally so as a programmer may need to give up and “assume the worst” everywhere!)

You can still keep it nice and easy and scripty with literals like 1 vs 1.0, and not worrying about number types other than signed Int64 and Float64.
Will an aerospike engine have more safety margin using the SpaceX fuel mix and not the hydrogen type maintank on Artemis I with all the fuel leak complications the media could not see because the "funnies" would embarass the lawyers and accounting arranging the "goofproofers" in the KSP simulation?

> "more money than sense."

I've always enjoyed "more dollars than cents" for the dual meaning if you know the phrase is supposed to be "sense".
Hmm, okay. For others that come later in search of information, I'll address some of these.

> ... one way it can be stopped.

Yes, this newbie developer made some decisions that couldn't scale to 1B users. Alternatively, each node can serve static assets, thus scaling linearly w/o CDNs. This isn't required for most apps, as they aren't targets for state-level actors seeking to deplatform them from CDNs. But, if a totally free client self-hosted app is desired, this is possible.

> ... None of the blockchains have the required throughput.

Obviously. That's why "this is new." Blockchains enforcing global consensus on a "total order" of unrelated events cannot: the laws of physics forbid it, besides it being wasteful and unnecessary. Holochain does not enforce such unnecessary "total order" consensus; it is not necessary, as it turns out, for maintaining state consistency in distributed systems. That is the breakthrough. This is a low-research "Bro" comment.

> ... can't even link to ... it because "someone needs to pay for hosting"

Ya, I was just being considerate. It's a newbie's app, hosted by a few people.

The point is, there is something new going on here; something that some hackers on HN might be interested in. I know the 2018 "Me" would have been interested!

If you're not, that's fine - carry on! However, no more low-research "Bro" comments, okay? ... Ah, I see that you are rabidly anti-Crypto, and that's fine: fill your boots! But, for those visitors who are interested in amazing things, don't be discouraged! There are indeed new things happening here that are worth investigating.
I had a 60-70 minute door-to-door commute for several years. Fortunately about 45 minutes of it was on a train, with about a 10 minute walk on either end.
I thought this was a well established fact.
As ex-H1 immigrant I will dare to explain.

Companies are paying absolute minimum they can. It is only rational.

The problem is with expectations. A lot of H1 workers are used to a much lower quality of life than native workers. US graduate would want to have a 40 hour work-week, separate bedroom, 401k and such. For a foreign worker from a less reach region 401k and medical are not a requirement, sharing a bedroom with 3 other guys is not an issue. Working round a clock is fine as long as you can send money to your family back in the old country. Oh, also in US you can afford a car that will make you look super-successful on social media.

Do you really want to drive down quality of life for everybody.

> I would say it's because they are stressed about problems that are much too big for them.

I have heard these described as gravity problems; problems that might be worth solving, if they are solvable at all, but which are almost certainly not the problems you should be concerning yourself with. Instead finding the right sized problems and solving them can be very satisfying.
As a foreigner, I find myself forced to agree with those people.
It is easy to prove this - just create a requirement combination that is special to your target candidate:

- Culinary skills in contemporary Italian cuisine not required but nice to have.
VERY rarely I do a premium wine tasting in California wine country. And, yeah, I kinda get it. There are subtle differences in some of the high-end wines as opposed to midrange stuff. But I'm actually happy with even the better box wines (however crappy the low-end stuff is) and I'd much rather spend disposable income on a better bottle of whisky or a better cheese.

I might say "Cars and yachts are not so widely faked, but are both status symbols", but then you might say "ah, but those are less subjective. A yacht objectively does not sink, and a car objectively needs less maintenance or goes faster or has better ride quality"

I might say "having a subjectively defined set of books on your bookshelf is a sign of sophistication and status, and is not widely faked", but you might say "ah, but the books are objective, having 1984 and K&R C are objectively a sign of programmer status"

I might say "owning a 'nice house' in a big city is a status symbol, 'nice' is very subjective, but it's not widely faked", to which you will point out reality is fake and I cannot even prove houses are real in the first place.
The "fake" part is the idea that wines are objectively better than each other. Afficianados can invent their own standards, and that's fine, but those standards don't need to apply to people who simply want to enjoy wine.

What muddies the water is that wine has an association with aristocracy that has never been had with Coke and Pepsi, or pizza with pineapple vs no pineapple.

Sure, wine is more complex than many other tastes, but so is beer, and beer has mostly been considered a blue collar affair, historically speaking.

Everyone is right and wrong at the same time. All wine is good and all wine sucks. Any given bottle will be a hit or miss, regardless of price. With price, you may be getting a more rare varietal, but that doesn't mean your friends will appreciate it.

A given wine needs to target its audience. Are your friends adventurous? Then you might actually consider sharing that bottle of Sagrantino, as they may appreciate the experience even if they don't like it that much. But if their tastes are generally more... conventional, then just go with that $9 Cabernet Sauvingnon from Trader Joes that can't offend anybody. Do you have wine snob friends who you want to make jealous? Then the $300 bottle of whatever is right for you, as you'll not only be able to gloat but perhaps spend less as you have an excuse not to crack it open until it "peaks" some time in the next century.

> the original fast food was hot dogs and that's almost entirely gone now.

Curious about this history. According to Wikipedia, fast food was common during antiquity, while the hotdog wasn't invented until the 1400s. White Castle seems to be recognized as the origin of modern day fast food and it opened as a hamburger joint.

You seem very experienced at wine and food, so I hope you know this. I can taste a wine and like it just fine if I haven’t eaten or drink anything else. But if I eat anything, even just the tiniest bit, the wine to me just becomes sour and I can only taste the alcohol. This completely ruined wine for me. Is this common?
As I understand consciousness is the ability of perceiving our own thoughts.

This seems to us very important because thanks to this ability we are aware of thinking, of existing, of being a self. Ref: Descartes' cogito ergo sum: I think therefore I am.

We have no idea of how the brain does that. It's mind boggling (pun intended). Chalmers say it's "the hard problem of consciousness".

However for a computer this is a piece of cake. Activity Monitor does that super easily. And debuggers go very deep inside the 'thought' process. You can even run a debugger on itself without sweating too much.

To fly we definitely don't need to imitate birds. For consciousness we don't need to imitate humain brains.

Maybe you disagree about the definition of consciousness and want to make it something akin of a soul. However it's hard to deny that we have no idea how the brain's equivalent of Activity Monitor is 'implemented'.
We had a lot of smoke tainted “experimental” wines out from Australian vineyards as 2019 and 2020 releases - some were really interesting, others simply dreadful (with winemakers just glad you were happy to take a punt and get rid of it for them).

Not sure repeating the bushfires that created those releases is a long term strategy though…

I don't know if a fifth gate is the solution to overcrowding: Induced demand would likely mean that more people would go because it was less crowded until it reaches peak crowds again fairly shortly after opening.

IMO they're struggling to open and maintain enough lasting attractions and park atmosphere areas in the existing parks, and they're making lots of money from inflating queue times and sending people to the shops so I don't really see what they'll do.
Also big brands usually deliver on consistency. Making the same (or very similar) wine year from year on the order or hundreds of thousands of bottles ... yeah, that takes some skill, and favorable location doesn't hurt either :) For example see the big wineries in New Zealand.

But usually if you want something that's exceptional you have to spend a lot on throwing away the unexceptional parts. Not every year will be good, and even if the weather was good there's still no guarantee the wine will be amazing. Yet the costs are there. That's why there's a very hefty premium on brands that only deliver the top-top-top quality. (Obviously they sell the grapes/wine that did not make it under a different brand, but sssh.)

Thanks, that's an excellent point I forgot to consider.
Wine makers can easily pick out flaws of different sorts. Wine tasters and wine makers do not taste wines in the same way based on my experience. Some flaws, like Bret, can improve the score of wines given by tasters for certain styles, but wine makers generally scoff at such flaws.
"Ostentation - pretentious and vulgar display, especially of wealth and luxury"

To a person who can't tell the difference between cheap and expensive wine, expensive wine is "strictly ostentatious" by definition.
My family often does this, but more like you have to figure out which wine is which out of 14 across many varieties and provenance. My wife and I both got 2nd and 3rd place with only mixing up two. Though it was less so what is cheap what is expensive, it is an interesting game nonetheless. We blamed the many years we spent in Napa on being so good :P

How Should We Think About the End of the World as We Know It?
I keep teasing this, but my friend Jerry and I have done a whole series of Triangle Tests on various aspects of making coffee. We've finally settled on him publishing a Just The Facts, Ma'am doc, and me publishing the narrative. Real soon now.

Anyhow:

Our philosophy is "It doesn't matter what the experts can taste. What matters is what you can taste."

So for wine, it's easy for you & your friends or relatives to put out three glasses, two the same and one different, and see if the taster can pick out the outlier. If they can't, why should they care which one WineSpectator says is better?
> They look at 6,175 tastings from 17 wine tasting events and find that, among ordinary people (nonexperts), “the correlation between price and overall rating is small and negative, suggesting that individuals on average enjoy more expensive wines slightly less.”

Wines at wine tastings are hardly a random selection. They should look at supermarket wines.

In my experience paying more (over £8) definitely increases the chance of getting a nice bottle, but it doesn't guarantee it. But that effect is only true up to maybe £15 at the most. Above that you're throwing money away.

Very true. I live in a wine region and an $8 bottle from the local booze shop can sometimes be found in restaurants on the other side of the world for $50+. Is not just that cheap wine is often as good as expensive wine, sometimes it’s exactly the same thing.

The Pepsi Challenge has LOTS of faults and isn't a great example.

I believe that one of the "debunkings" about the Pepsi Challenge was that people preferred the initial swig of Pepsi but preferred Coke if the question was asked after more consumption, after the beverage had warmed up, etc. Effectively, you could set up the situation to get people to choose one or the other quite easily.
Absolutely true in South america. I've had a ton of different sub-$5 wines. In my experience, if you randomly buy 20 bottles of $5 wines, one is better than a $100 bottle, plus you also get some 5 great wines, 10 good ones and the rest works for cooking.

The best wine I've ever drank cost less than $3 and was produced in a tropical (21 South), 800m altitude region of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Never assume wine is bad because it's cheap or from somewhere.
It's important to note that this idea about IQ is in fact a repackaging of race realism. In another decade Harris would've been talking about phrenology. It is an intellectual fig leaf for racism.
Conversely, if the sector grows, it may well be that all workers in it make more. This has been the trend in many, many high tech scenarios.

Or, we can let the skilled workers end up elsewhere, those places develop the next innovations, and soon the high paying jobs are not here, but have moved to those places willing to invest in talent.

The main reason the US has such high salaries is not that we stopped skilled workers coming here - around 50% of Fortune 500 companies were started here by imiigrants.

I, as a US citizen, want the world's best and brightest to come here, so I can learn, have to compete, and become part of improving tech sectors, not backwater xenophobic countries banning workers.

It's historically extremely shortsighted to think that having to compete solely makes wages lower. If that were true, we'd all have lower wages than our ancestors, which is demonstrably untrue.
