> I think Haskell needs a way to graduate (or retire) language extensions, rather than having them accumulate unboundedly. It's harder to talk about Haskell when everyone is using a different flavor of it.

That is what the standardization process is for. I don't think that the parties that could write a new Haskell standard have the time, resources, or bandwidth to work on one. That's why for now we're stuck with 98, 2010 and a bunch of extensions.

> The incidence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has greatly increased over the last few decades. The reasons are largely unknown although environmental factors are believed to be important.

This is a very misleading first paragraph. It’s likely that ADHD and Autism prevalence has not changed at all and it’s just cultural awareness that leads to the increased incidence. 30 years ago, most doctors believed that women could not have ADHD or Autism.

So yeah, it is “environmental factors” but the environmental factor is awareness - not plastic.
Are the synchros in this similar to what the Rosenblatt Perceptron used to adjust and show weights: "This machine was designed for image recognition: it had an array of 400 photocells, randomly connected to the "neurons". Weights were encoded in potentiometers, and weight updates during learning were performed by electric motors.[2]: 193 "
We also have the notion that fixing bugs at design time is easier than in dev, which is in turn easier than in prod.

Publications can simultaneously be praised for “rolling back a bad build” while being criticised for letting that build roll out to prod in the first place.

Awesome, I think I had the same book in 1990s. Things were so simple back then, when the default approach to anything was to start writing some C code with socket calls.
"However, jamming was never totally effective, and listening to the [BBC‘s] Russian Service as well as other Western broadcasters had, by the 1970s, become a ubiquitous phenomenon among the Soviet urban intelligentsia."

I'd love to better understand what you're describing. Thread-level compute limits generally seem like they need to be managed in some sort of cooperative fashion, otherwise you end up with the possibility of dangling locks and other kinds of corruption on forcible termination.

What signal are you sending to the running thread? What's the handler look like? How does that translate to terminating the thread? How do you do this forcibly (without cooperation from user code)? Schemes that I have seen look more like generating/ instrumenting polling/checkpoints into user code.
I sometimes listen to Deutschlandfunk to fall asleep. The programming is great, but I need to mute it or turn it off entirely at ~23:57 flat or else I'll puke because in a disgusting exhibit of nationalism, they play the German and the European anthems at the end of every single day. But as another commenter has pointed out, their diverse and thought-provoking yet entertaining programming is great for tuning out your inner monologue and help you fall asleep when you feel stressed or anxious.
I enjoyed the civil honeymoon Threads enjoyed, but my feeling was always that we’d know Twitter was dead when the jerks migrated to Threads. The Bezos post comments marked that event.

The study's veracity notwithstanding, DOs are trained and accredited with the exact same curriculum and standards as MDs plus an additional section in Osteopathy. I don't think it's valid to use the fact that someone is an Osteopath against them.

What took down Airbnb for me personally wasn't the government, nor was it the housing crisis, but rather the poor experience it offered. Years ago, staying at an Airbnb was a fun novelty and often I could save a buck. Now the novelty has worn off and the predatory fee structures make me weary.

There aren't many things an Airbnb does in a place like NYC that a hotel can't do better. Hotels are ubiquitous and uniform. You generally always know what you're getting into, and if something is amiss you can usually get it corrected by staff on-site or migrate to a nearby competitor. With Airbnb, you'll be lucky if you can reach a human to help with what will inevitably go wrong. Instead of full-time housekeeping, you'll have to put up with the shoddy resetting that a bottom-rate contractor cleaner does between visits, and Airbnb will happily mark up prices for the privilege.

I'll check out Airbnb again if I ever get the itch for an "experience," but otherwise... hotels, despite their flaws, are just a better product.

Good riddance.

I used to be the target audience and really enjoyed having my system just right, sorting and tagging everything, etc. But over the years I realized that I wasn’t really benefiting much, and gave SwiftScan on my iPhone + dumping into and iCloud folder a try.

The argument isn't that the newly formed integer is a prime!

The argument is that the newly formed integer has a divisor which is none of the primes in the original set that was multiplied together.

It's not any of those primes, because none of those primes divide it.

Therefore that divisor must be a prime which is not in that set, contradicting the assumption that the set is complete.

Since the argument works for any finite set of primes, it shows that no finite set of primes can contain all the primes. Thus there are always more primes.

There are times when that product + 1 will be that divisor (i.e. that number is prime). Not always though.

One such example is if we claim that the only primes which exists are 2, 3 and 5. 2 x 3 x 5 + 1 = 31. 31 is not divisible by 2, 3 or 5, leaving a remainder of 1, so we know it has a divisor that is a prime, and that is not one of those. It so happens that that divisor is 31 itself, since 31 is prime. With some other sets of primes, that won't be the case.

An example where the product plus one is not prime is the product of the primes 2 .. 13. That product is 30031, which is a composite number factorizing to 59 and 509. Because 30031 is not divisible by 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 or 13, we know that it has at least one prime factor which isn't any of those. It has two such factors: 59 and 509.
Oh well I'm glad the question is so easily solved then. Perhaps you should write a paper about it?
People used to bury stuff in their gardens, e.g. Plastic & Asbestos. Imagine you bury it on a hill and a bit further down, say, 20 meters, they have a little garden with radishes and onions and potatoes and stuff and in a little greenhouse in between there are tomatoes growing. Insects are crawling all over the place and micey beings are doing their thing. There's cats and birds and stuff is happening. And it gets warmer every year and the kids and grandkids are playing and building and burning things and they love the fruits and vegetables coming out of and around this garden. Multiply this by a neighborhood. And remember, 60, 70 years ago, lefties, hippies and scientists have put effort into warning people.
Duh. If you have to ask them you're the asshole /s
Well, some folks could 'reductio ad temporum' and claim NY didn't wind up underwater so nothing to worry about right?
The real problem is, at the end of the day, you can't prove or disprove these are ever 'real' or not - and before anyone mentions repeatablity, repeatability is NOT indicative of authenticity! I can get any LLM to provide a repeatable answer for an infinite number of things (what day comes after Monday? I bet it will repeatably answer Tuesday!)

It's like the simulation theory - it can't be proven or disproven, so just stop trying.

At this point I can at least understand why these stupid prompt conspiracy theory things thrive so well on social media though.

That's an interesting counterpoint, but I think it's a bit of a different tradeoff. Adding, say, dependent types, can be done as a gradual process with opt-in (via language extensions) and "only" requires heroic effort on the part of the compiler writers... whereas changing 'head' requires 10000i Hackage packages to update their code.

This is all tied into how inflexible the base/Prelude story is currently, etc. If the Prelude were a fully independent library where you could just depend on any old version you like, then there'd be no problem changing the signature. (Other than the usual diamond dependency problems). Of course you can choose NoPrelude and go from there, but then you're already in a place where changing 'head' doesn't matter to you, only the maintainer of your alternative Prelude.

People are working on both of these aspects, and that's got me really excited about where Haskell is going these days!

(I've always loved Haskell as a language, but there have been undeniable ecosystem issues.)

But if you don't have 24/7 Operations coverage then you probably aren't really able to run fully reliably all the time anyway. And that is perfectly OK and normal for smaller and newer businesses.

> But we must rather ask What would be the _incentive_ (from markets or culture) that would make everyone all happy families again?

Given a timespan of about half-a-century to make it's own decisions, apparently government regulation is the only thing that can compel them. Look at the largest companies in the world and tell me I'm wrong. No matter how slow you boil the frog, successful businesses will never step up and do the right thing.

> Ergo, what was the thing that made standards and interoperability such wonderful things in the first place that we created them?

See, this is backwards thinking. Order is not native to the world; nobody invents a new CPU architecture and magically has standards get drafted into thin-air. Standardization is the alternative to chaotic iteration. When too much changes for too few reasons, an agreeable framework is standardized and used as the basis for future iterations.

The incentive to change things is the fact that the status quo sucks. That alone is enough; nobody is naive for expecting better out of the most successful businesses in the world. Leaving them to write their own playbook ends in asinine power-moves like proprietary serial connectors and user exploitation. It's not realistic or amicable; that's why the government has to step in.
Say there is no causation, how to proof "amplification" of "symptoms"?
From my own experience, I understand, being on call could be important for engineers, but CEO MUST understand, not all people could accept this.

So, in real life, need agile approach.

Some people just accept to be on call all time, you could consider them as your core team with appropriate benefits and value them, and respect them, really.

Second group of people could accept receive calls during their shift. This is also not bad. Value this.

And exists people, who are good workers, make great value, but could be on call very limited time or nearly no time. You should decide, with them individually, how you will work. It is really possible, some very valuable people will not be on call at all.
Bit tangential, but Google Nest's sleep sounds are really nice. I often suspect letting it run through the night significantly boosts the deepness of morning sleep. The hub's radar sleep sensing is pretty neat too.
I'm a database guy so everything looks like a database problem to me, but I'm not sure how this would fit in (as I'm completely unfamiliar with the data used here). Can anyone more knowledgeable than me suggest whether a database, on a conventional server with some decent RAM and a bunch of SSDs would have have worked and perhaps been cheaper?

(Edit: OK, SSDs in 2019 might not have been affordable but spinny disks were cheap and still pretty fast)

Afaik, latest research indicate strong links between the prenatal environment and autism.

Any evidence? Autism risk increases with paternal age and maternal diabetes status, so I find it hard to believe that prevalence is unchanged from 30 years ago.

This is just preposterous. Out of all programming languages I've used, never have I seen the bloat of Spring. Innumerable interfaces, abstraction behind layers and more layers to do the most basic of changes, not to mention the bizarre fetish of Java developers to NOT write code and instead relying on "hacks" (Annotations).

Spring boot sure, Spring boot works out of the box by slashing all of the configuration from spring, "convention over configuration" they say, which does not help understanding the underlying magic that Spring does, it just adds more magic upon it, so it's just yet another layer of abstraction to learn. Is that all? No! We need more annotations, so add Lombok on top of the existing @ hell.

Yes, we should. In fact, I believe every unit of governance of human society (read: nation) should be as independent as possible in every area necessary for its functioning. This means every nation should be completely independent in all of the technology it uses. This is obviously impossible.

GNU tools are generally one command away on macOS. So is nmap, and it takes a lot less than 2 minutes to have it running directly on the host. What's ARM incompatiblw with? Certainly not Linux distros, certainly not GNU tools, and certainly not networking. Not to mention that for most things that don't run native, Rosetta2 makes them work at near native performance.

You can also run Linux on a VM if you want. With the native macOS virtualisation stack in UTM it takes about 2 seconds to have a full Linux VM up and running.
