I think the debt limit is a good idea as it forces some consensus about spendings. Without it people currently in power can spend as much as they please on their electorate needs and leave the next government in a difficult situation.

It's worse in countries that don't have separation between executive and legislative branch (most EU countries). For example in my country (Poland) you have a party winning an election and then they control both legislative, executive (parliament chooses the prime minister) and mostly judicial branch (not only attorney general is one of the ministers but because terms for supreme/constitutional courts are short they get to put their guys in as well. If they win two times in a row the majority of justice will be theirs.

Once that's done there are 0 check and balances on them. They just spend on social programs and laws benefiting their electorate and screw anyone else. It's a terrible system where winner takes all and is beyond check and balances.

Say what you want about US system but at least it's not free for all the way parliament democracy is. The debt limit is one of those checks - wanna spend money? - talk to the other side about it.
With this and the trademark drama it sure looks like leadership could do with a change of guards
I'm not sure your example makes sense.

`a b c` means `a(b, c)`. MLs just leaves out the parens.

You can't know just form looking at `a b c` what `b` and `c` are. They may be functions of course. But also any other value.

This would be exactly the same in for example JS. Nobody in JS ever complained that you can pass functions as arguments to functions and "don't see the arguments". (If you would write arguments you would actually call the function, and not pass it as a value.)

But in OCaml you have a static type-system that can tell you at any point what `a`, `b`, or `c` are! Just hover the symbol.

> I think the strength of ML and Haskell got eroded as more "mainstream"y languages got decent type systems (TS/Flow, Hack, Kotlin, even Rust, Python is getting there).

I don't think so. Especially given those examples.

TS/Flow doesn't have a sound type system. It may "type-check" fine and than explode at runtime. That's imho worse than dynamic typing as with dynamic typing you know at least that such fuck-up will happen. But TS delivers a false feeling of security about type safety where there is none.

Hack is "gradually typed" which is just another word for dynamically typed with some static checks. So not even close to MLs.

Python is also still dynamically typed, and that won't change. The bolted on type-checkers are unsound. So same situation as with TS.

Nothing can be said about Kotlin afaik, as there was no formal work on its type-system.

And Rust? Rust is a ML (with ugly C syntax)! So Rust is a prime example of how MLs are still one of the most modern and influential language designs to this day on.

With Rust and Scala you have even two MLs in the Top20 languages. If something than ML is slowly but finally approaching mainstream. Maybe not in its original form but still the tradition lives on.
It has been a long time since I’ve been so completely unable to stop reading a piece. Broke into tears several times. So awful. Thank you.
I think that varies case by case. Sometimes "intermediate" output should disappear because it's less interesting than what I had before. Sometimes it should not disappear as you write. To implement that the shell prompt would need to contain a special esacape sequence as a marker and then the user can manually hide the output of the last command. Or to make it even more fancy: Hide and unhide output of any previous command.

Most medical diagnosis goes like this: you see a symptom, this could be caused by a dozen entirely different problems. A few of them can be easily ticked off by absence of some very clear flags in the lab result list. Others only have indicators that are much less clear, that are shared with a whole bunch of other outside-the-norm conditions, many of them perfectly fine. If you have a backlog, if instead of a list of current measurements you have a matrix of current and previous measurements, you can narrow it down much more.
ls assigned colors because it was configured to do so, either by you or your distribution.

> plus, it's unusable in a script, because then "ls" suppresses the color.

ls doesn't do anything different in a script, you probably just have an ls alias. Aliased are typically not sourced for non interactive shells
It's an interesting classification of different research strategiea. It does show how cryptographic ideas or primitives were and can be developed in various ways.

I'm not sure how complete a survey of modern cryptography it is. I think the value is principally in the research classification.
I was wondering things along these lines.

I don't see there being a 0% chance (though admittedly a low one) that they bundle some of their back catalogue with an emulator and release the titles on PC (like Sega on Android/iOS).

If they think the value of those sales would exceed the value added to the switch of eg Mario kart 64 being exclusive, then it'd make sense.
Are environment variables the right place for such an option?

This is effectively config. Should we export all of /etc/* into environment variables too? One variable per configurable thing?
Żuławski is amazing! He manages to strike the right balance between abstraction and action; between soulful Slavic opaqueness and, well, viewers wanting to understand what's happening on the screen without having to read the characters' minds through an inverted Christology or some such implied cultural context.

Żuławski's movies contain enough mystery to thrill the imagination, yet it is crystal clear that they are telling a particular story, with an intended authorial meaning, the further implications of which we are free to ponder - not simply painting a vast, inhospitable landscape for us to project our own meaning onto, like Tarkovsky does, or many West European filmmakers like Bunuel or the aforementioned Bergman.

Now I want to get me a projector and organize a pirate Żuławski marathon in a warehouse, culminating with a screening of On the Silver Globe, once someone's brought a decent pusher to the party and the shit has started to kick in... Eh, if only my city's avant-garde art scene and I hadn't recognized each other for the pretentious good-for-nothing wankers that we are. More effectual personalities can be found among the wannabe gangsters, for fuck's sake - but those lives are little movies in their own right, and avant-garde cinema's got nothing on them.

Unfortunately, without an overt repressive apparatus for people to struggle against, it seems their finest qualities end up going down the drain a little bit. Creative people end up inventing novel schemes for making money out of ever more primitive illusions, instead of dedicating their brain cells to creating those increasingly elaborate visions that kept our forefathers struggling onward with dignity against inhuman conditions. Which leads us to the big question: if the Communist authoritarian project was a necessary condition to get all these fascinating, singular (anti-/post-)Communist works of art... was it worth the millions of lives sacrificed or devastated?
If you control both ends of the pipe you are free to use the methods and conventions and maybe benefit when something gets cached.

That you cannot rely on consistency is not a reason to have none at all.

Destructive actions can and are also hidden behind a GET. When such an endpoint gets called indiscriminately by the rest of the internet it usually becomes the faulty implementation's problem.

Presumably the same would be true for QUERY.

I do worry about overuse of antibiotics but I know a lot of times it just doesn't "go away without", or the viral infection ends up evolving to a bacterial one

Though what the doctors should do is give the prescription but say just to take it if the situation doesn't improve. This way you save a return to the doctor if it doesn't get better.

It would be a huge problem.

The biggest advantage of the Switch is immersive portability. The Steam Deck is great, I own both - but the Switch is less bulky and has simpler software, making it very pick-up-and-play.

You've been to more than me then so what am I talking about, but I always understood it to be the one talk given to kick things off or maybe conclude, i.e. nothing else is going on at the same time, 'everyone' is listening (or else skipping it).

Maybe it's just been watered down to 'featured'/'sponsored'/'recommended' talk? I haven't been aware of that.

There is at least 1 place where it works in some extent for 800 years - Switzerland. Public votes few times every year on basically anything enough people decide to vote on (100k signatures needed in 8m population and you have a public vote). You want to ban mosques, or join Nato or have 6 weeks of paid vacation? Have a say. Also weak central government, and strong cantonal ones with their own rules and laws. THAT is true freedom in the hands of people, to decide on your lives, to have freedom to improve it or mess it up.

Every effin' politician knows it, yet they conveniently ignore it, or even outright attack it when they are spewing words like freedom and democracy. It doesnt matter if EU or US or any other place.

That would be correct from a French-Anglo-centric point of view of the world.

However, liberal Paris was archictecturally and politically powered by the aftermath of the earthquake in Lisbon: https://www.bbc.com/reel/video/p0ckfxtn/the-earthquake-that-...

That was the turning point which granted liberals/republicans the ruling power over the Portuguese empire and later other empired such as the French. The outcome were religious "reforms" that expropriated, razed and progressively moved to erase catholicism in favour of "enlightment".

In my hometown the churches were left to rot and then "modernized" to other entertainment facilities, owned by private merchants of course. The end result was quite devastating, albeit not as bad as what you'd see happening in France afterwards.
It's possible, but those weren't mentioned unless I missed something. The keynote was "start of the day, shared slot with somebody else, 30 minutes".[1] No mention of different length after the change, but I would assume it will mean a different timeslot.

I think what happened is just the regular chaos, hub-hub, and disagreements that's involved with organising these things; since JeanHeyd himself already indicated he wasn't sure he wanted to give keynote the organisers probably figured it didn't matter much to him. Classic expectation mismatch. For reasons that are not entirely clear to me JeanHeyd assumed "somebody is pulling very weird strings behind the scenes", "shadowy decisions that are non-transparent", and "vindictive behavior". The best explanation I can come up with for that is that this is not so much about this talk, but rather expressing general unhappiness with the Rust leadership, and this is merely the "the final straw". But who knows...

//Remember boys and girls: self driving cars don’t need to be perfect, just better than humans.

Fudamentally disagree.

Self driving cars need to be effectively perfect (almost impossible) for me to consider them.

I would rather be in a situation where the circumstances mean that there is a greater probability of me crashing, but under my control, rather than a "random" coding error or AI hallucination taking me and my family out.

Slow traffic auto stop/start, cruise control and lane assist were always enough, and they've been around for a decade or more.

But then, I actually enjoy driving when not in traffic or long drives.

Ymmv, literally.
> A scientist studying this alien would therefore reasonably conclude that the alien wasn't at all sensitive to what the words mean, describe (etc.) but was engaged in a strange game of regurgitation which fools us much of the time.

This describes an unfortunately large fraction of humans too in my experience. :/

This is one of the reasons I'm impressed with LLMs, because they seem to fall into the same pitfalls less intelligent humans do.
I don't see evidence that there is more drama in the Rust community than in other communities. Posts with Rust in the title just have better chances to make it to the HN frontpage.
> They're not irreconcilable because accessibility is not binary. Not every user benefitting from accessibility features is blind.

I'm always curious what someone means when they say that something "is not binary". The phrase seems to imply that the situation is more complicated than it appears at a glance, but I've noticed a pattern in which the people who claim things to be "non-binary" habitually dismiss valid prose before actually engaging with them. They don't tend to actually explain themselves, they simply spout unverified information as if it is truth.
> GPs will at best prescribe you some medication, but will otherwise act as entitled gatekeepers to the rest of the system

It's like the treat the electronic as the real world and the real world as a game.

It's like some kind of acknowledgment that ideas really are more dangerous than actual weapons.

It's also incongruent with the very origins of the United States.
If a human being trips up over this 50% of the time (and I expect the actual figure to be lower), while an LLM trips up 90% of the time, that’s still a win for the human being.

I can buy something, pay using a number of different standardised mechanisms (debit card details, Apple/Google Pay, other web services like PayPal) and have it quoted for shipping from almost anywhere in the world to my house with just a few presses in a mobile browser or on my laptop. There are a huge number of moving parts involved in providing that experience and it is fairly consistent between large tech players and small.

It might not be flashy stuff like a nice replacement for JavaScript to make developers' lives easier, but a lot of my story above depends on significant advancement in web standards plus industry experience and consolidation. The web (as well as walled gardens like Apple and Google native) has been critical in enabling that. It's the bedrock for the entire digital economy, including many transactions that drive the physical economy. 15 years ago you couldn't even trust that the average user's browser had a decent fetch API.

edit: I do agree that things have gotten slower and everything is terrible.

I want consistency. I stated as much in my post: "Rules are good." I'm just not convinced adding more rules to a collection of rules that already isn't consistently applied in the wild, will give me more consistency.

That it is a noble goal is this internet rando's own opinion, and there certainly is no consensus on that.

It's even easier with single persons or small groups… Just given them a little bit money or alternatively aim with a gun at them or someone they love. This method wouldn't scale to a whole society.

Have they ever not?

Where's the news exactly?
I haven't been to a conference in years because of COVID, but I've been to plenty mainly web and Python related before.

Almost all of them had keynote speakers, who received a prominent spot, usually in the morning and on multi-tier conferences the only talk scheduled at that time slot. Based on content of most of those talks the expectation was to take a wider or deeper or just different look at our fields and not mainly present a smaller idea or solution.

But it also doesn't matter if you or I personally do or don't care about distinction. There is one made clearly and as soon as it is made, there is an implicit promotion or demotion depending on which way a person is being moved and one should have very good reasons to demote anyone publicly as they did here.
Humans make foolish, nonsensical mistakes too. Does that mean that they're not intelligent and not sensitive to the meaning of the code?

If you prompt step by step thinking but the model writes the explanation after the solution, then you have not actually had the benefit of step nx step thinking. The model has to generate the explanation first so that the solution is generated with the information of an explanation first.
It's programmer's version of "it's not black or white".

In this case, a program isn't "accessible" or "not accessible" but rather degrees of accessibility. Not everyone is 100% blind, so small accessibility features makes it easier for them while not being accessible to 100% of the population.

I think it would have also been perfectly professional to decline in that case, since it's clearly poor planning on the part of the folks organizing the talk. And demoting the keynote speaker is even worse - especially when in this instance something like scheduling doesn't seem to be the excuse
