Author here. It's not "pure" functional progamming in that state exists and is mutable-in-place, but only via atomic swap - you can interpret the sequence of states as a sequence of monads, but the evaluation semantics are different.
So I am also very torn about this. A big part of art is actually knowing the "history" of the author? (Just for this I am not quite lumping coding into Art just yet as I still code to solve hard problems - bit like fixing up a car - than having to impress others).

I am big into Carnatic music (a form of south indian classical music with a ton of intricacies and improvisation). The actual songs that most performers perform on stage had actualy been written by a handful of folks 3-5 centuries ago. And without any judgement, the style has a lot of homogenity to it and several folks have created compositions (in the past 50-100 years) which mimic a lot of the original style and yet acceptance of them in public performances is limited ("oh its another X wanna be").

Now imagine the same if created by AI.

You know what? You've made a good point, and I'm now a little less positive on Apple and a little more critical of Spineless Tim Cook.
I should say I spent 10 years in the building trade and I saw all kinds of things, but I never saw an unregistered plumber fiddle with gas.

The writing style seems oddly-pretentious and yet somehow uninformed, perhaps there were too many copies of HN in the dataset?

I kid, I kid.
"Nonportable" is a significant element of this definition. A programmer who intends to compile their C program for one particular processor family might reasonably expect to write code which makes use of the very-much-defined behavior found on that architecture: integer overflow, for example. A C compiler which does the naively obvious thing in this situation would be a useful tool, and many C compilers in the past used to behave this way. Modern C compilers which assume that the programmer will never intentionally write non-portable code are.... less helpful.

> 1.2 million years ago, Maui Nui was 14,600 square kilometres (5,600 sq mi),[1] 40% larger than the present-day island of Hawaiʻi. Sea levels were lower than today's, due to distant glaciation locking up the Earth's water during ice ages, thus exposing more land. As the volcanoes slowly settled by subsidence, due to the weight of the shield volcanoes and erosion, the saddles between them slowly flooded, forming four islands: Maui, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi, and Kahoʻolawe by about 200,000 years ago. Another former volcanic island lying west of Molokaʻi was completely submerged, and covered with a cap of coral; it is now known as Penguin Bank.

I think so. Seems so many people want a "how to" on every aspect of their lives. Friendship should not be something you try to design or have a strategy for, I can think of nothing that would drive me away faster.

Friendship happens, if through shared experience, interest or just chance. True friendship doesn't happen because you woke up one morning and "Make a Friend" was at the top of your todo list for the day.
None of those things were around in the early 00s.
I'm an Australian with family in eastern-Europe. I get my dental work done there at a fraction of the cost of doing it here in Sydney. The quality is at least on par with Australia.

I was unable to travel for a few years on account of work, and then COVID, and was seeing the local dentist recommended by my health insurer. They advised me that I needed my wisdom teeth removed. I was skeptical: My wisdom teeth came through in my teens with zero pain. I'm an adult with no tooth pain. When I asked why, the dentist was very vague, and told me it was for the best on account of the long-term likelihood of decay. I wasn't convinced. When I recently saw my extended family's local dentist, they showed me that my local Australian dentist had just left decay to flourish in my wisdom teeth, and not even let me know there were cavities there that were fixable. A quick filling would have saved me lots of hassle. Instead it seems they wanted to encourage me to take a much more costly course of action. In case anyone is wondering, this was an expensive clinic in Sydney's CBD. I'll never return!

The level of acceptable risk for a one-off bit of fun on your own is a lot higher than what you'd want to accept for an everyday commute, or put your kids in.
Yes. I didn't want to mention nutmeg because I really, really would not recommend anyone try it. It's dangerous and it's a bad high, I've tried. My dosage was subhallucinogenic but felt like being stoned, except I also had intense muscle cramps that made the whole thing a terrible time.

And as a hallucinogen it's a deliriant which means you could literally run into traffic thinking you're taking a stroll through a beautiful forest(this is an actual deliriant trip report that exists btw, though the drug was datura).

Concerningly, this seems to be a self-reinforcing situation. If everyone willing to have a conversation is a lunatic, of course you wouldn't want to talk to anybody.
Same with the Dutch and Belgians. The countries are so small and families rarely move very far from each other. This makes it very hard as an outsider to break into friendship circles as often they've known each other since pre-school.

Kudos to the app writer. It's a beautiful thing to tangibly support the people you love.
Thanks, I'm always looking for feedback on how to make this concept more understandable.
I think it's clear that rental properties should exist, because however much it sucks that some people can't buy a property to live in, it would suck a lot harder if the only way to live somewhere was to buy it.

If rental properties should exist, who should own them? If renting of housing by private owners is banned, that's a small inconvenience for people who might be combining households (each partner lived apart initially and now want to move in together) or when otherwise taking a temporary assignment somewhere with the intention to return, but that's not the bulk of rental property pretty obviously.

I think the greater challenge is that prospective home buyers are competing against other prospective home buyers. All else being equal, people earning a 25th percentile income and having a 25th percentile savings are going to lose out in a competitive bidding situation to people with a 26th percentile income and savings.
...Why is the compiler reordering so much?

Look. I get it, clever compilers (I guess) make everyone happy, but are absolute garbage for facilitating program understanding.

I wonder if we are shooting ourselves in the foot with all this invisible optimization.
No. These words do not have the same basic definition.

Hypocrisy: The practice of professing beliefs, feelings, or virtues that one does not hold or possess; falseness. [0]

Paradox: A statement that seems to contradict itself but may nonetheless be true. [1]

Every time I see someone here mentioning someone the paradox of tolerance, it is to support restriction of speech for someone else. (someone really bad, of course - fascist, antivaxer, racist, you name it), and these people always hypocritically consider that they support free speech, just not for those bad people.

As a matter of fact, I am struggling to think of any boardgames which have a 3d component. I am sure they exist, but a robust 2d representation feels easier and would still be applicable to 99% of existing games.

Saying that's "the only lens that matters" is a specific value judgement. Other people can value other things like the viability of that vision, competence to achieve it, impact of the means used along the way, financial return of the intermediate steps, entertainment value of incidental shitposting, etc etc.

Other people aren't required to use your values to evaluate whether they consider a venture successful and you aren't required to use theirs. FWIW I don't know why that would be a surprise to you.

Further musk doesn't strike me as particularly honest in his self-representation. Saying things isn't quite the same as transparency; it can nearly be in cases where the speaker is especially trustworthy but I don't see that to be the case here.
Author here. Looks like FRP for the backend. I'll skim over it later.
Thanks!

So you will grow on string and do lean and lower? Or use the high lift vehicle to prune and harvest?

I've been in some of the greenhouses in Mexico, (Sinaloa to be exact) growing peppers and Asian eggplants. They were fairly simple plastic houses but had strict entry protocols including booties and yellow sticky trap mazes to enter.

There is a more complex industrial greenhouse I saw in Utah growing tomatoes on string. Very tall, unfortunately I didn't get to go in. It's next to a power plant and they pipe the expelled CO2 into the greenhouse for increased crop production. I believe it was started by Dutch growers.

I'm an agronomist by training and even got on the cover of a seed catalog one year back in the 90s when I worked in Arizona on a veg farm. Previously I worked field tomatoes around Tampa Bay area Florida. Now I program for last 12 years, but still have a big garden every year. I agree on greenhouse quality 100% but but am personally a big fan of soil and compost and dislike hydroponics. Nearly religiously so haha.

Really like the idea of localized production centers. Makes a lot of sense for many reasons.

I have to say, Dutch growers really have my respect. They are the masters of this craft and even dairies. I currently live in a dairy rich region and many of the owners are of Dutch heritage.

Very interesting stuff anyway, thanks for sharing and I will keep an eye on this.
I think the article addresses this pretty well. The answer is even in the title.

> If f-droid.org is the one source of software, then our curation would be censorship, since we would be preventing speech. [...] That’s where decentralization comes in. Decentralization means people can choose who they trust in a fine-grained way, not all or nothing. We have put a lot of work into making it easy for anyone to make their own app repos, and those repos can follow any rules that its creators want.

Basically, if you curate apps in one location without preventing others from curating/publishing/installing apps to/from other locations (ie decentralization), then it is not censorship
This looks awesome, unfortunately my attempts to use it result in showing some kind of placeholder blue image with a yellow and black corner, despite it appearing correctly in the list of available widgets. Hopefully that gets fixed soon.
It's both self-interested and hypocritical, in my view.

"Weird" was a reflection of the sarcasm of the comment.
Author here. State is not immutable, it is mutate-in-place via atomic swap. That makes it somewhat different than both functional programming and imperative programming, but it's not an excessively difficult programming style to use in practice.

You can see the exact same thing with the transition from NoSql to SQL.

I'm glad it was useful!

When it comes to documentation from the US government, you have to consider the source agency, think of them like individual sources rather than all part of "the government".

Most agencies are fine, you have to be careful when you see things coming from Congress though.

If it's a report from the CBO, GAO, CRS, or other agencies that are a PART of Congress, they're great, generally VERY reliable: https://www.google.com/search?q=congressional+agencies

However, if there is a report from any committee, you have to vet it more carefully.

Step 1 see if it was written by a bipartisan committee, if not, it's probably trash. I'm a liberal but I wouldn't blindly trust reports from any partisan committee, but GOP committees tend to focus on creating propaganda for political purposes rather than actual actionable plans or reliable data. They focus on blaming whatever the topic is on Democrats above all else.

Reports from bipartisan committees TEND to be better, and ones endorsed by the entire Congress are pretty bulletproof, like the Warren Commission or the 9/11 report.

You should check out Dungeon World (or any Apocalypse World derivatives) - every role is 2d6+ability modifier, and results are always 10+ for complete success, 7-9 for success but with a caveat, and <=6 as a failure.

You're allowed to do anything that "makes sense" given the fiction, and it is so much more storytelling focused than D&D etc.
Wow this definitely needs a tag. [2021], 2020 almost even, it’s from January.
I just don't think it makes much sense to say that an optimization can "introduce a UB operation". UB is a property of C programs: if a C program executes an operation that the standard says is UB, then no requirement is imposed on the compiler for what should happen.

In contrast, optimizations operate solely on the compiler's internal representation of the program. If an optimization erroneously makes another decide that a branch is unreachable, or that a condition can be replaced with a constant true or false, then that's not "a UB operation", that's just a miscompilation.

The latter set of optimizations is just commonly associated with UB, since C programs with UB often trigger those optimizations unexpectedly.
I watched few episodes in English, then visited my parents who watched dubbed version of it. I usually dislike dub as its usually an 'audiobook' movie. But to m y surprise it was so much better.

Also its so dark (pun intended) just use stronger lighting.
Eh, I don't think family ties are "completely destroyed" in the West, we're just not as into our family as some "Eastern" cultures (I'm thinking of India in particular) can be.

Remember, a lot of the "West" (at least my exposure to it, the USA) is a conglomeration of other cultures; we have many Eastern cultures here as well!

Many of my friends have large families that they're much more entangled with than I'd opt into with my own family.

I could not live with my mother again, though I love her very much. I imagine many Indian men would love to have that option, all else being equal, though realistically they simply don't.

The freedom to choose is nice, but a great many of us "Westerners" choose to stay close to our families. That's what freedom is; the ability to opt into culture, rather than be forced into it.
> Most WP code people deal with are simple loops that people just have saved elsewhere.

I wonder if that's how this product got started - "most Wordpress plugin code are simple loops that get and do something on data" - and the only missing piece was to build a English language parser that takes that instruction and converts it into Wordpress PHP code that implements that request.
Thanks for the further context. I have heard about its bad effects as well, but amazingly (or maybe rather unfortunately?) I never experienced such negative side effects. I guess it sounds like I was more in the subhallucinogenic dosage like yours, where I felt stoned, but did not have any cramps. Mostly just felt dehydrated later.
TBF nothing would guarantee fairness, the very notion of “free market” is pretty much an idealistic vision that only exists in very small niches from time to time. As long as you can game the system, there’s no reason not to do so from the start.

The current way to compete against YouTube is to finance a cloud provider to rise at that scale or build your own data centers which will land you somewhere in the top owning entities in the world. Then you need to lure creators and pay them the same or more than Youtube, and you might be seeing users and advertisers finally coming to your platform in significant numbers. Which also means you’ll enter into talks with content rights providers, pass contracts, and build an army of lawyers to deal with the whole world (including as you say, wining and dining the biggest entities that you need to stay in at least a neutral position toward your growth)

Saving money on open sourced codecs is probably not your main concern.

The alternative being to start your service small and grow organically, but in a country where YouTube isn’t available (fun thinking time: where could that be ?)
Nope. You might have trouble getting there though. If there's no public road/easement to the beach, you'd have to get there by boat in order to legally use the beach.

This line of thinking seems pretty prevalent but the way I see it, there's no such thing as carrying the relationship. If you're the one with the social need, the onus is on you to get that need filled. This generally means doing more work than others but it's not on behalf of them. It would be nice if other people filled our needs for us, but that's generally just wishful thinking.
Brilliant business move. Charge by the token, and then train the model to ramble! Pretty soon you'll have to buy it a beer before getting anything useful :)
Not sure how you came to think I said rental should not exist.

I think governments should regulate to ensure housing markets are fair, with a primary goal of ensuring people who want to own a house can buy one.

I fundamentally believe that it should be within the means of anyone who wants to own a house to have one. That means firefighters, kindergarten teachers, garbage collection workers, receptionists, old and young people - all those people who frankly have zero chance right now.

Governments should use they tools they have to discourage monopoly style property hoarding.

Housing should not be used at hotel rooms - I disagree with the cored concept of AirBNB because residential housing should be for the ordinary lives of citizens,m not for investors to make money from travel holidays. Things like AirBNB distort the market.

I am against residential housing being sold to non citizens/permanent residents.
C doesn't have namespaces so the compiler is certainly within its right to deduce that the sin() function is the one from the standard library.

Actually even in C++ after the compiler performs the unqualified name lookup if the result of the lookup is the standard sin() function it will make use of its internal knowledge about the function to do optimization.

Remember that the C or C++ standard doesn't deal with compilers and linkers; the standard deals with the "implementation" as a whole.
I just started reading The Mythical Man-Month book. I've been long familiar with the concept, but didn't realize how many other great lessons the book has.

Now, reading the article, I realize how much Fred Brooks actually did and coded. RIP.
I like it, really cool idea - but you badly need a catalogue of some kind. Even just a set of links to example widgets on your website that the first time user can copy and paste would do it - better would be something searchable in the app. Cool tho, will have a play. Good work
trigger warning: possible rust advocacy.
I hope the warning can help some folks relax, and stave off the usual repeating meta discussion.

I've looked at a lot of rust generated outputs from iterator usage in godbolt. If you have tried this (and if not, go look), you'll know that you almost certainly never want to look at debug output for iterator usage.

In release mode builds of rust programs using the iterator package you'll often see SIMD. The author doesn't need to do special things to get this, the combination of aggressive inlining and encouragement to use owned and intrusive structures goes a long way to making this viable more often in practical code - so much so that I see it working _a lot_. It's not a magic bullet, and I'm not advocating that it's some be-all end-all, but it works well there.

If you'd like to see an example, search for "godbolt rust iterator" and look at the optimized output. I'm sure one of the near top results will do.
