Abilities are typed effects, effectively. At least, that's how I understand it.

(In a less jokey way: Abilities should be thought of as capabilities, and capabilities are what enable you to do I/O, read from a DB, etc. So they are 'effects' in the Pure FP sense.)

Not sure about the type classes thing.
> Linux has been rare mostly for compliance and regulatory issues - corporate IT thinks it’s too easy for a determined Linux geek to take over the machine and bypass all safeguards.

And that's because it is... when Grub boots, press e, add init=/bin/sh (or rdinit), and boom you have a root shell. In case the admins did think far enough to deal with implementing Grub password protection or secure boot of some kind, wait a couple months, and there will be some sort of local privilege escalation exploits (there's about one a year).

In addition to that, Linux doesn't exactly play nice with corporate snake-oil solutions - these are more hassle than they're worth it as they constantly break.

> The whole program, it turned out, lent itself to dishonesty. Faraway investors were desperate to get to the U.S., and didn’t keep close track of where their money was going. The lawyers and brokers got large transaction fees and had little incentive to point out potential wrongdoing. “Everybody was making millions of dollars, but very few people wanted to speak the truth about the riskiness of these investments,” Gibson, the EB-5 adviser, said. There was almost no governmental oversight built in.

Tale as old as time. Whenever the government simply funnels money out to "businesses" without oversight, it's going to get embezzled. The massive fraud that came along for the ride with PPP COVID relief is just the latest example. The government never seems to learn though, and I'm sure in 2-5 more years, there will be another money firehose and along with it the predictable fraud.

Funny how when it comes to handing money out to low income individuals, the government is willing to spend $100 for every $1 handed out: to scrutinize, means-test, and put these payments under a microscope of enforced rules. But when it comes to handing money out to rich people and businesses, all of a sudden "there's no way we can oversee such a complex program!"
You were the one to make the link between "charming people", good childhoods and lack of "yucky problems". And, while I would agree that there is a strong correlation, it's true that it's not perfect.

I've seen that recommendation often but I still dislike it, since it falls apart whenever you need to do the same logic on multiple pieces of data. It only makes sense if every single with-clause is doing something hugely different.

A simple example:

with {:ok, cleaned_first} <- sanitize(data.first),
{:ok, cleaned_middle} <- sanitize(data.middle),
{:ok, cleaned_last} <- sanitize(data.last),
{:ok, final} <- combine(first, middle, last) do:
{:ok, "Name is" <> final}
else
{:error, :illegal_character} ->
{:error, :illegal_first_name_or_middle_name_or_last_name}
other ->
other
end

The above sucks because it's not clear which data was bad or which step failed.

So let's talk about the alternatives...

__________________

First, the "Lots Of Methods" approach, where you just add as many different private methods as you need, where each one works almost the same except for a distinctly different error:

{:ok, cleaned_first} <- sanitize_first(data.first),
{:ok, cleaned_middle} <- sanitize_middle(data.first),
{:ok, cleaned_last} <- sanitize_last(data.first),

I feel that sucks because it's tedious, error-prone boilerplate, even if they're just wrappers around a sanitize/1 that does the real work. Also any new error-atoms being introduced are scattered down the file rather than near where you might want to match/test them.

__________________

Second, the "Augment One Method With Causal Data" version:

{:ok, cleaned_first} <- sanitize(data.first, :phase_first),
# ... else ...
{:error, :illegal_character, :phase_first} -> {:error, :illegal_first_name}

This is a marginal improvement, but we're still contaminating methods like "sanitize" with junk they don't actually need to know in order to do so their job, passing a piece of opaque data down and up the stack unnecessarily.

__________________

Third, what if we carefully isolate the concerns/complexity to the with-statement... Hey! We're right back to where we started!

The "Augment The With Clauses" approach, which I argue is least-bad:

{_phase, {:ok, cleaned_first}} <- {:phase_first, sanitize(data.first)},
{_phase, {:ok, cleaned_middle}} <- {:phase_middle, sanitize(data.middle)},
{_phase, {:ok, cleaned_last}} <- {:phase_last, sanitize(data.last)},
# ... else ...
{:phase_first, {:error, :illegal_character}} -> {:error, :illegal_first_name}
{:phase_middle, {:error, :illegal_character}} -> {:error, :illegal_middle_name}
{:phase_last, {:error, :illegal_character}} -> {:error, :illegal_last_name}
I don't understand the complaint from the guy who has been there for 15 years and doesn't like that it's changed.

Growing companies don't stay the same for 15 years. People who like working at young companies generally don't like working at old ones. This isn't a problem. It's just a reality.

If you think the early stage is fun because you're called upon to wear many hats and contribute to the vision of what could happen next, you're going to hate working under three layers of management, all of which have to be seen to be "doing something," so they tell you how to do your job even though they have no actual idea how to do your job. Leave before a company gets that size!

Back when I worked on websites (2011-2012), supporting IE6 through IE9 ate somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of all my development time, as nothing was consistent with any of them, and that included the same browser with slight tweaks. It was a horrible, time-wasting badly behaved set of browsers and because I worked on government sites for part of that, Internet Explorer support was mandatory.

How is that? As a home owner, I didn't get the memo. The local government approves or rejects all kinds of building sites without ever polling or asking anyone outside their agency. Homeowners of the area don't have any input.

The premise of the study seems confused. Is there any evidence to suggest that these strategic decisionmaking problems are the actual domains where DOD or State are looking to apply these types of technology?

What is useful about knowing that the chatbot is not effective as a player in a cartoonishly simplified roleplaying game? Is the insight primarily that it’s prone to naive and impulsive decisionmaking, perhaps in the manner that a soldier fresh out of boot camp might be, if tasked with high-level strategic decisions given vague information, a paint-by-numbers set of potential responses, a steady intellectual diet of Reddit posturing and random internet writing, and no real consequences?

You may be working from the false assumption that the data set itself is balanced by demographics. It isn't the case that x% of images of doctors on the web are white because the same percent of doctors are white, it's the case that most images of doctors are white because the image of a doctor (or any educated person) as being white by default is normalized by Western (specifically American) society, and this prejudice is reflected in the data generated for the internet that makes up the model.

Regardless of the statistics, it should be just as easy to generate the image of a white doctor as a black doctor. Both queries are straightforward and make linguistic sense. It doesn't follow that an image of a black doctor should be more difficult to create because statistically speaking, black doctors are more rare. That the model has trouble even comprehending the concept of a "black doctor," much less something like a "black African doctor treating white kids[0]" is a problem rooted in the effect of racial stereotypes, albeit at several levels of abstraction above that of the software itself.

Former performing artist here, and I totally agree. Thanks. I don't think that's what this article was trying to do, although it wasn't particularly great.

Insightful Reddit comment https://old.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/1al8cuc/modular_commu...

> The TL;DR is that the Mojo implementation is fast because it essentially memchrs four times per read to find a newline, without any kind of validation or further checking. The memchr is manually implemented by loading a SIMD vector, and comparing it to 0x0a, and continuing if the result is all zeros. This is not a serious FASTQ parser. It cuts so many corners that it doesn't really make it comparable to other parsers (although I'm not crazy about Needletails somewhat similar approach either).
