The main reason that monads are restricted to fancy languages like Haskell is that the type system has to support their definition.

There are some examples of attempted implementations the list monad in other languages on RosettaCode
https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Monads/List_monad

Caveat emptor, though. A lot of that page is erroneous.

A few years ago I fixed up the definition for F#, which is perhaps the closest thing to a language for ordinary Joes in which true monadic style can be defined/achieved.
> or is it that they're able to send them more easily, so they do?

In my area, it's clearly this. I've disabled them on my phone, because they're too frequent and never actually useful.

....illegally. That's a problem of nearly non-existing enforcement in the UK, not the toughness of law.
What meaning are you thinking of, exactly? I looked up the definition and it matches what I intended to say in every dictionary I checked (Merriam Webster, Oxford, Cambridge, Dictionary.com…) Some of the definitions seem more or less synonymous with “influential”, maybe you’re making some incorrect assumptions?

A contactor that overheats is a contactor that's too small for the job. This sounds like a failure of basic engineering, probably because Ford wanted to save two dollars.

They dont _NEED_ to raise their pricing, but the contract they have with ICANN states they _MAY_ raise their prices with a fixed percentage, which means as much that they WILL raise their prices with this percentage every year. It's not like you are going to migrate your domains to a different TLD.
Like being employed to write some code which then is owned by someone else?
Having been in the trenches of various startups and bigcorps, and having interfaced with multiple consultants along the way over the decades, there's an insidious pattern I've observed, especially over the last 10 years. Consultants, no matter how polished their decks or refined their methodologies, often seem to be selling a form of abstracted advice. They've taken a page out of the growth hacker / patrick mckenzie playbook, but without the authenticity nor the qualifications to back up their advice: commoditizing broad-strokes strategies and repackaging them for a premium.

And there's the glaring detachment from day-to-day operations. Consultants offer overarching guidance while skipping the nuance

There's also this consistent overemphasis on bigcorp-style "best practices" checklists. In the world of startups, where innovation and disruption are celebrated, these canned best practices can be the antithesis of genuine growth. As someone smarter than me once said, startups flourish not by following the well-trodden path, but by blazing their own.

Perhaps most frustrating about consultants is the temporal nature of their involvement. The transient "parachute in, advice, parachute out" / garbage in - garbage out strategy leaves startups grappling with the real-world implementation of sometimes nebulous strategies, and many organizations in utter shambles if allowed to run amoc

To be clear, i'm not branding all consultants under this shadow, and this might be a bit harsh after some recent negative experiences. There are some genuinely talented individuals doing consulting work and some who genuinely add value. But the increasing commoditization of startup advice and the corporatization of the field, where every consultant seems to have a canned playbook, does make one wonder: at what point does advice become noise?

Also, for those who've found genuine value in consultants or who haven't noticed these trends I described, would love to hear your counterpoints. Maybe I am just stuck on the dark side of the moon
Typo, reduction in capability. Corrected above.
That's the benefit they give to their _customer_, which is not the same as a benefit to _society_.
Jaynes is certainly wrong in detail, but it is not too far-fetched to suggest that the notion of "self" was an invention, perhaps at first closely held among shamans, that then gradually spread to the wider population.
Thanks, the PBS one in particular is very good.
I find this to be an odd take. Monads, even when restricted to programming language usage, do not fundamentally have anything to do with continuations. There is a Continuation Monad in Haskell, but that is just one implementation of one example of a monad.

I’m not particularly sold on the Ur-importance of monads in programming, but I don’t get using such a specific implementation to deride the concept. Monads are an algebraic structure, application in programming languages is akin to using sum types to form enumerated data.
Some truth to this (minus the ritual child sacrifice). However it’s hard to do complex ambitious things like manufacturing semiconductors or designing consumer laptops in a small company. Big problems demand a big organization and increasingly they’re what drives our economy.

The lived experience inside big companies is bad and getting worse. Consultants are a symptom of this, but I think the root cause is an insatiable demand for earnings growth and productivity which is basically a force of nature at this point. The alternative is deindustrialization or some rethinking of the social contract.
It's limited to a small number of cities with optimal conditions and every ride has a human supervising. They're still spending R&D, rather than making a profit. That's a demo.

I grew up on Infocom games on apple iie. However now the focus is largely on graphics to the extreme, it could be that a lot of people simply cannot read and write well enough to get into a text based game, they had a comeback during the dialup internet days with Muds. If one went and then had such a game translated into enough languages perhaps it could find a world wide niche.
For me, it varies by OS. I'm currently reading this on a Mac, and the window is not filling my entire screen. If I were using my Windows PC, however, I would be much more likely to have the window maximized. I find that Windows makes is easier to track all the windows I have open even when one is maximized.
Well, it's Microsoft, so every 5 years they release a new API/framework and declare the old one dead/obsolete. But they usually maintain backwards compatibility to their credit, and I almost never credit Microsoft with anything.

Easy for you to say when you're sitting behind your screen most likely in a Western country. The people of Iraq have suffered for decades at the hands of occupation, constant bombardment, instability, poverty, sanctions, and more. Give them a break.

Pretty sure that children of any sort deal with it better than people that hate porn for an ideological reason.
No disagreement from me.
You and I agree on all that. The point of the article is that at some point the growth has to stop — it's not saying we'll definitely make it all the way to controlling everything in the universe, just that low growth gets there very quickly and there isn't anywhere to go after that.
Just grid tie a few panels with microinverters (one small independent inverter per panel), and forget the battery. Recommended Enphase https://enphase.com/

As long as your solar capacity production is not often more than your usage at the same time, batteries won’t be of any particular use … they have to be fairly large to have any great utility in your home anyway, battery backup and solar production are orthogonal goals until you are producing a lot of power.

If you do want battery backups on a small scale, just get a UPS the same as you would without solar.

100x total system resource demands.

Display memory usage made nowhere near a straight multiplier of a difference even in 1989, as demonstrated by the 1000RLX vs 1000RL, which you would have known if you followed the link in the other comment and watched the video.

You can verify this yourself by hooking up a VGA resolution display, the same as the 1989 Tandy 1000RLX shown, to a modern desktop computer with VGA out and it doesn't reduce boot times by any significant amount.
It’s a hardware fix. They have a redesigned HVBJB that they install into older cars that run into the issue. Newer cars were built with the updated part.

The only “software fixes” for the issue was logic to preemptively detect an impending failure so people wouldn’t get caught on the side of the road.
In the US, Android lets you disable them (except for Presidential notifications). It even divides them up into broad categories, like Amber alerts, local alerts, etc., and you can pick and choose what categories you want or don't want to hear about.

> Most Latin 1 text is really Windows 1252

I'd say that the vast majority of Latin-1 that I've encountered is just ASCII. Where have you seen Windows-1252 presented with a Latin-1 header or other encoding declaration that declared it as Latin-1?
Linux is great for both the non-techie layman and the computer wiz. Those that complain are the majority on people you frequent on HN which know enough shell commands to be dangerous but couldn't unfuck a broken fstab.

Which is fine, mind you, just pointing out that most people that are NOT in tech would find Linux very usable, if not more usable than Windows.
Murdeeing people okay for all ages. Making people is the devils. A sign of a sound mind with decent morals.
I think the fundamentals are radically different, just due to the ease of applying this stuff.

I used to be able to train and deploy a ML model to help solve a problem... if I put aside a full week to get that done.

Now I tinker with LLMs five minutes at a time, or maybe for a full hour if I have something harder - and get useful results. I use them on a daily basis.
So can you tell Firefox to only allow MV3 (or MV3+sandboxed, I guess) extensions then? Or have you manually audited your list of extensions?

I was sort of aware but your post clearly reminds me that Firefox extensions are probably my single biggest point of general vulnerability on my phone and computer, given how much is done in browser.

Appreciate your original thoughts either way.

kind of an aside, but i've always been curious about how different DNS server implementations handle TTL outliers, especially given the discrepancies between recommended values and real-world configurations. particularly re D103900 in TFA about the SOA TTL recommendation, does anyone here have insights on dealing with the rate of stale records in caches due to exceptionally high TTL values? additionally, has there been any analysis on the impact of DNSSEC chain of trust integrity with long-standing SOA EXPIRE values, like the mentioned "ma" TLD's 19 years?
10 Facts That Prove the World Is in a Climate Emergency
The key issue is that lead acid at these low capacities may be able to take one or two amps above 50% SoC. Especially at 80%+ if the panel can do 4 amps but you can charge only with 2, you are wasting precious sunlight.

Lead-acid can charge at 0.3C but only when empty until 50% or so. In the absorption phase, current drops (dramatically).

Also lead-acid means 50% usable capacity for longevity so the 12v 12Ah lithium is 12v 24Ah lead-acid (minimum). Which also means you can never charge with 0.3C. And even then is longevity of lifepo4 so much better it’s not funny.

Please spend the extra money on lifepo4, save yourself some headaches.
> The reduction in capability comes from the inability to do all kinds of cosmetic filtering

Oh, that's too bad. The cosmetic filtering is incredible. I wonder how much I would be impacted by switching to Lite. Guess I'll try one day.

not a productive comment to call someone deluded without at least explaining why. The UX does seem like a significant hurdle to maintream adoption to me.
The ruling stated that the Constitutional justification for copyright (and other IP) laws was to incentivize creators. AI does not need incentives, and thus AI-generated content cannot qualify for copyright. Under this line of reasoning, neither can patents (though note that trademarks derive value from the resources and effort spent promoting them, not from their creation, so trademarks are unaffected).

The act of prompting and customizing iteratively especially in systems which allow the user to submit a prompt ...are clearly creative works that USE an AI not uncopyrightable.

If you want to argue that point you absolutely cannot do so on the basis of a case that literally never addressed that issue unless you would like to traverse the muddy ground between actuality and fiction.

The case literally deals with the output of the AI model, not the input. But on that note...under existing law, code can be copyrighted but not its output. Thus, it is logical to reason that prompts to an AI model can also be copyrighted to the extent they are not strictly functional.

But with AI models and content generally, nobody cares about the prompts/inputs. The output is what matters. (For comparison: Deep Impact and Armaggedon were both the results of the same input: disaster movie in which a team of astronaughts has to go to the asteroid to blow it up before it destroys Earth. The "models" were different screenwriters and directors. Compare the outputs: one is a blockbuster classic, and most people don't remember the other movie.)

This gets fun when the example is something like instructions for wiping your disk to install a new OS. If you use an invalid disk name, they get errors. If you use a valid disk name, they wipe the disk on the wrong computer.
Because literally no prisoner in the USA has been explicitly sentenced to this. If you are in prison your sentence is almost certainly restriction of your freedom for a period of time, and not imprisonment + "being forced to work". The fact that the prison system can benefit off of that should offend you and you should be outraged that this is happening across the country.

The middle manager has the opposite set of incentives. They want to solidify and grow their position inside the company, which often isn't in line with what is the best outcome for the company. This is the principal agent problem and is the root cause of this issue.

> I think people know how big 120.000 is, but if you must, just say its more than wembley

Agreed. And if you must compare to a stadium, why not just pick a bigger stadium? You can pack at least 115,000 into Michigan Stadium, which would get you a lot closer than Wembley.

(What's that you say? You've never been to Michigan Stadium? That's probably another reason not to rely on this kind of comparison! I, for example have never been to Wembley and have no idea how big it is.)

It was a safe prediction to make. Even SEGA couldn't do a console anymore, Linux was behind MacOS in games support, all app developer companies whined about Linux being unsupportable and no market. "The year of the Linux desktop"
was a recurring joke (still is with the GNOME / Unity churn, Wayland switchover, snaps breaking how GUI apps interact with a filesystem, and the usual perpetual churn for churn's sake making system support and OS upgrades a crapshoot).
Of course it comes installed so you can listen to audio. That isn't what Soundsource does - you CAN make Pipewire work like soundsource, though. Of course my post is biased. I gave my opinion as someone who uses both vs someone who only uses linux and doesn't know osx. Any Linux user telling me that "Linux does more than OSX" is getting my biased reply.

Per app audio redirection, per app effects, per app volume control, system-wide effects, headphone equalizer, auto change inputs/outputs etc. I haven't worked with pipewire in a long time but I had to use another app with some complicated GUI of "wires" or pipes to get the same affect. I can't remember the name of it now.

Interviewed with a company that implemented their own healthcare insurance. That is, if you have a medical issue, you tell them what it is, they OK a doctor visit, then you pay for it, bring the receipt and they will reimburse you as per their policies.

Also their compensation comprised a fixed salary and a "guaranteed" bonus of about 20%, which together added up to the market rate. However the bonus wasn't mentioned in the written contract.

It was a high-tech hardware company of several dozen people with their own clean-room manufacturing facilities. Interesting tech, good product, but the CFO felt like a grifter and the CEO looked like a retired gangster, with mannerisms to match, who spent all interview telling how much business prowess he had.

That was really bizarre.
That law seems to say that if you mess with the flight attendants, youre gonna have a bad time. I dont see anything there about whatever they say goes.

They could tell you to turn off your zoom meeting during landing/takeoff, which is reasonable, because no electronics on during that time, etc, but they couldnt be like "hey pants are illegal on this flight" and then take you down for wearing pants.
Mate I've got a project whose first lines of code were struck back in the 80s in Turbo pascal. Your "continuously deprecated" argument doesn't hold a lot of water from where I sit... In terms of actual language features/changes that have caused deprecated status, those are very few and far between. Maybe some VCL database controls, for sure it would have sucked to have built stuff relying on interbase, but that is not a language/compiler feature, that was CodeGear EOL that particular project (I had to manage the exit strategy on one of our projects where it relied on that crapware)

Even library developers are pretty good at pumping out versions of their libs that have support for even Delphi 5. I know of at least 2 people who are still doing windows dev on Delphi 5 or maybe 7, I can't recall.. the very definition of "from my cold dead fingers".

Suffice to say if you were one of those real hold-outs, not updating to the latest.. you wouldn't have generics, dynamic arrays, lambdas/anonymous functions, and you would probably struggle to grab much code written in the last decade and compile it straight up.. but that would probably be the case for a number of languages that have had core features added to them over time.

The fact that the system is proprietary certainly is an issue, but every install always ships with all the source code of the RTL, VCL, and clear instructions on how to compile it with a "you're on your own now" sense of adventure.
That is only a thing on i(Pad)OS. There's nothing to my knowledge preventing anyone from running their own app store on macOS - Steam purchases work fine, the entire Adobe suite does, as do Macports and Homebrew.
