It's probably more likely that it'll turn out to be the same as the old scares about microwave ovens and cellphone radiation causing cancer, except there are now a lot more $$$ to be made in various industries from exploiting anti-science paranoia.
So, uh, is this bad? I mean, it doesn't sound good on the face of it and we should probably try to avoid, but have microplastics been implicated as responsible for any specific environmental harms we know of yet?

Yes agreed, those people would want to maintain a fork from the latest MPL release.

However it is not clear that those people exist. In addition, it is not clear that there are enough of those people, with different enough commercial product, such that they would benefit from collaborating in an open-source manner.

I tend to end up with Pascal compilers instead of a Lisp system, but I agree with the sentiment.

Long ago I wrote an inspection reporting system, in the days of Turbo Pascal and MS-DOS. I ended up building a domain specific language for the configuration of the system. The configuration files looked almost identical to Pascal source.

I think map() is useful, even if it does not look like Go and rubs a little against the sprit of simplicity of Go. Wish the for loop in Go would return a result, which could accomplish the same but would be a little bit more Go like

x := for y := range z { return y } // unclear return :-(

If you want Either, use Haskell.

There seems also to be a performance problem with map(). It would work better if Go had Iteration instead of slices, otherwise map() creates a lot of slices. And if map does not return a slice you have an ugly

y := x.map(...).native

everywhere.
The author has definitely thought about those concerns, since they're mentioned on the linked page. I think it's just a neat simulation, it's not necessarily a comment on someone's ability to empathize with other human beings.
I'm just going out on a limb here to say that perhaps OS vendors took a stance when app developers clearly demonstrated that they would never give a rat's ass about how much battery or other resources they gobbled up unless the OS made that decision for them. Just sayin'

I ran into this a couple of times from the POV of apps which did something useful, and had to use hacks/workarounds to avoid being killed off. So they had special options and you could set things so that the functionality would be there, and you were made aware of extra drain, so be it. I thought that was a pretty good compromise.
Bicycles seem like tools for militaries that need to trade off utility for price. Underdogs, under-resourced, militaries doing asymmetric warfare, perhaps. The US military doesn't like doing that, they'll always take the cool, expensive option if they can.

Can the US military use commercial quadrotors, or are they forced to go through the same procurement process that adds a dozen bells and whistles with a couple zeros on the price?
> Haber Bosch wasn't around 300 or 3000 years ago, nor were people tilling and planting. How did these plants get enough nitrogen to thrive?

They didn't "thrive" in the modern sense. For example, a good yield in 1900 was around 16 bushels of wheat per acre, with the national average of 12 bushels. You could use somewhat better crop rotation techniques, waste a lot of effort on manual pest removal, and get to maybe 20-25 bushels.

The current _average_ yield is 50 bushels per acre. And the top yields are around 100 bushels per acre ( https://www.statista.com/statistics/190370/top-10-us-states-... ).

Sorry for arcane units, they are traditional when talking about wheat.

> How do current grass fed beef ranchers grow enough grass to grow cattle today? Surely they aren't fertilizing the grass.

Yes, they do. Alfalfa doesn't require a lot of it (it's a nitrogen fixer itself), but other types of grass do. Corn for corn-fed beef certainly needs fertilizer.

And corn-fed beef is around 96% of all beef in the US.

Each of these businesses get tons of serious and not serious offers to build them a website. The reason they don't have a website or have a crap website is because they don't want to spend or are in other ways impossible to work with. It is possible, but usually if you're related to these people or already an established big actor.

A much better return is expected by building a web site to sell the product or service yourself. Wether it's tobacco, tupperware, books etc.

For me in the US, it’s a strange notion that you could compel someone to buy the last 10% of the company. That does not always seem possible. What happens if you literally can’t do it? That’s probably rare, but if 90% of the company is most of your assets, and you’ve somehow borrowed against it already, it could be almost literally impossible.

If it took humans so long to get to America from Asia, it seems plausible that they were confined to the Pacific coast for a long time as well, but high rates of erosion and seismic activity could easily destroy the evidence. It's certainly counterintuitive that the first place people colonize would be the semiarid high plains of New Mexico!

The easiest places to cross the American Cordillera are in southern Mexico (Chivela Pass), Nicaragua (San Juan River) and Panama. But these places are also very rainy.
From a tutorial at https://www.modula2.org/tutor/chapter11.php:

> The ALLOCATE procedure requires 2 arguments, the first of which is a pointer which will be used to point to the desired new block of dynamically allocated menory, and the second which gives the size of the block in bytes. The supplied function TSIZE will return the size of the block of data required by the TYPE supplied to it as an argument. Be sure to use the TYPE of the data and not the TYPE of the pointer to the data for the argument.

So what happens if you pass the wrong value as the second argument to ALLOCATE? Does the compiler throw an error, or are you now risking a buffer overflow?

C has arrays. Arrays carry size. The problems in C are much more nuanced than people seem to suggest, and people exaggerate the extent to which other languages do better in this regard, though to be sure C has significant deficiencies.
Never thought I’d see these three things together. The library looks extremely well done, although I’d expect some interesting reaction as Go is as imperative as it gets.

ELDs have been a predictably miserable failure - as the article points out, their very rigidity in draconian enforcement of "safety" rules actually creates perverse incentives to do unsafe things (like ignoring needed maintenance, etc.)

This does not just affect truckers - as "driver monitoring" becomes an anti-feature in many new cars (especially EVs or "self-driving" cars), there will be more and more cases of people (quite reasonably) bristling at Big Brother looking over their shoulder and into their eyeballs every moment they are in their own car.

As for me, I'm leaning heavily towards a life goal to never again buy a car with a screen in the dashboard.
`Either` works pretty well in Go. I implemented it and it felt reasonably close to Rust/Haskell (without `try!` of course).
the great benefit of the y-combinator is that it permits indefinite iteration in a system that seems at first glance to not support iteration at all

so when you're faced with a formal system that doesn't seem to support indefinite iteration, perhaps because you are trying to design it to guarantee termination, a useful exercise is to try to construct an analogue of the y-combinator in it

if you can't, you may have gained enough insight into the problem to show that the system actually does guarantee termination, and maybe even show useful time bounds on it

if you can, you have usually shown the system is turing-complete, which means you can appeal to rice's theorem whenever you are tempted to analyze the behavior of the system in any way, so you can satisfy yourself with partial decision procedures that work often enough to be useful and are conservative in the appropriate way, rather than wasting time trying to find a complete solution

(also if you're designing the system you might consider either supporting iteration more directly or removing the back door)

every once in a while it's also useful in practice to be able to program a weird machine, too

Terrible journalism, comparing stock performance to special cooling setups.

For example, the only Intel comparison is against the 56-core Xeon W9-3495X, but with liquid nitrogen cooling! Nobody, and I mean nobody runs that kind of rig for actual workloads, it's done only as a hobby for hitting bigger benchmark numbers... for a minute or two.

> I don't want $n,000,000 net worth at age 60. I want to be assured I will have food, housing, and health care. Maybe what we need is a system where, instead of paying out Social Security in dollars, you get a ticket to a subsidized retirement community.

That... doesn't really help anything.

> Then you eliminate the moral hazard where if you let the stock or real estate markets fail, allowing defective assets to fail, Grandpa starves.

Except it doesn't. If Grandpa qualifies for social security (not everyone does) and if the benefits are sufficient to pay for necessities, ticket vs. dollars doesn't matter: stock or real estate collapse doesn’t causs starvation, because sociak security covers it. (In reality, its already a mix of dollars and tickets, since social security is dollars but medicare is more like a ticket.)

OTOH, if as is generally the case now, the benefits are too low, distributing them via a subsidy for inadequate minimal support doesn’t relieve that problem any more than the dollars did.
You keep answering with the same words though. My question was _where_ the Y combinator is useful, not _what_ it is designed for, which I am of course aware of.

FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression) has received major funding from groups which primarily support conservative and libertarian causes, including the Bradley Foundation, Sarah Scaife Foundation, and the Charles Koch Institute.

In 2017, FIRE was listed as one of the sponsors of the conservative campus group Turning Point USA's Student Action Summit, according to tax records.

FIRE president Gregory Lukianoff authored "The Coddling of the American Mind" for The Atlantic discussing whether or not trigger warnings are harming college health. Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt later released a book version of The Coddling of the American Mind.

Lukianoff appeared in the film Indoctrinate U, a 2007 American feature-length documentary film written by, directed by and starring Evan Coyne Maloney. A New York Sun profile in 2005 said that Maloney "may very well be America's most promising conservative documentary filmmaker."
