It's already the default on opensuse and fedora while Ubuntu, Debian arch and Gentoo all support it so it's not that hard to adopt.

The issue is that btrfs still does not run perfectly rock solid on raid other than 0 and 1.

I mean, they pivoted all of their major social network platforms to clone tiktok's core feature set pretty much as soon as TikTok started gaining traction. I think it's likely they are betting on the US government not tolerating a foreign-owned social network in the long term.
Graduating high school is also optional I suppose. Not everyone does.

> That covers pretty much all of unix.

I think Unix critics completely miss the point. Contrary to your claim, Unix's basic architecture principles were proven to be key to it's success. Contrary to your claim, this does not mean each tool and interface defines the gold standard for operating systems. Since then we have half a century of advances in ergonomics, developer experience, and software engineering, which Unix developers didn't had back then.

More importantly, what you are missing is the myriad of alternatives to Unix that were developed since Unix was specified in POSIX, and how each and every single one of them is an utter and complete failure in representing a better alternative to Unix. A lot of them claim to do things in a better way, but in practice none of them ever delivered anything remotely capable.

Unix is the poster child of "x is the worst, except for every single other alternative".

Even if from a technical perspective you're right, I think people need to be careful with the "x is not special" talk. It is a put down and it's how things like human and animal rights get obliterated and how the environment gets ruined.

I bought one of these many years ago. Extremely unreliable and inflexible. Worse than even the springy Rat Shack ones.

I really wish someone would put together a decent kit and guide these days. I did consider designing and marketing something myself for a couple of years but I never got past the conceptual stage. It wasn't going to be a "here's a load of instructions to follow" but experiments that lead to "why" through instruction rather than just mechanical reproduction of circuits verbatim. Even all the Make stuff is pretty lame shiny marketing crap with few explanations and intuition being developed.

I have spoken to a lot of people who bought a load of stuff and learned how to plug things into things and copy and paste code. When it comes to "I want to solve problem X" there are too many gaps which leads to demotivation and large lots of arduino crap being sold in bulk on eBay.

Even content sites mostly have user-generated comment feeds (requires a DB connection), and ads (which require processing metrics to justify ad spend).

I don't know if the business folks would rather sacrifice those in a load spike, or just load shed at a request level - for an business defined by engagement metrics and ad revenue, it's not clear the former is better than the latter.

Neither of your examples does curry a function. The first one partially applies it (the Haskell way), the second one wraps the partial application in a redundant lambda (Haskell again). I think that's where the confusion is, let me also try to use the Haskell syntax...

This is an add function with two arguments:

add :: (Int, Int) -> Int
add (x, y) = x + y

At the moment it can not be partially applied, so let's curry it:

-- addCurr :: Int -> Int -> Int
addCurr = curry add

Now let's partially apply it for an increment function:

-- increment :: Int -> Int
increment = addCurr 1

> When I curry `add` above, isn't the argument 1 contained within the context of the partially applied function?

You didn't curry it, you partially applied it. This was possible, because your function add was already curried.

Reasonable skepticism. Rather than changing the agreement at some point in the future, it's better to clarify it from the beginning. Perhaps introducing an enhanced version of the BSD license, which does not allow the project to modify the license at any point in the future, would be a good idea.
4 Papers that build on Devin, the AI software engineer

I think some HN user talked about his DNS company using sqlite for years and years without a glitch.
Speaking of personal experience:
3 people working most of the time part-time (half the day), it took almost 7 years to build a 3 floor building. It was me: 8 to 15 years old, my brother 5 to 13 years old, and my father.

It includes almost all of the hard costs the article mentions except the foundation, brick laying, electrical, plumbing, windows, more concrete around the house, garage, and a myriad other things.

Sometimes we hired 1 or 2 people, once a month or something.

If all people were like my father, mathematician, polymath, expert in everything electrical, wood and metal constructions, with connections to many other engineers who regularly ask for advice, then the estimated total cost of building a 3 floor house is around 100.000 euros. That's the cost of materials, but probably less than that, 80.000 or something.

The estimated time for 3 adults (not children - teenagers), to build a 120 m^2 per floor building, all 3 floors, is 3-4 years.

Anyway, i think housing-transportation and many other things, will become free, once we move to carbon based buildings, vehicles and so on (see graphene). It is only carbon that offers us, strength of materials, flexibility, lightweight-ness, variety of materials so as to have everything in abundance. Abundance, like, personal skyscrapers, that kind of abundance.
It does not appear to me that skybrian is first learning about currying and partial application, and I'm not first learning about currying or partial application in this thread either.

Your play at humility that you didn't understand currying and partial application in the past kinda falls flat if you then go on to less-humbly assume that everyone else in the conversation is stuck where you once were.
$40 a month and $400 of my time a month, that is the issue. At some point the lines meet and it is worth the time to save a $10000 DO bill for hight traffic I am sure. But that is a later problem.

Why would it be in a completely different part of the code? At most it would be 2 lines away, but usually on the same line.

Good point. I knew the phrase at a surface level, but as you say, the real thing was seriously nasty.
>There would also be no incentive to be a landlord, so the units would get converted to condos

This is what I'm after. If too extreme then a tax point that sets the desired ratio of individual vs corporate owned housing units. That ratio should be 100% individual owned imo but I'd be happy with people at least legislating something on the issue.

>most of the rent is going to loan interest, which is a legitimate operating expense

Then don't tax payments on principal or interest.

>rents would be just as high but the profits would go to the lenders

But we would have successfully cut out a middleman with means, motivation, and opportunity to squeeze via anticompetitive practices. Having individuals negotiate rates with a bank is a much better situation than facing price fixed rents.

I'm still granting that some amount of fees be charged to the tenants for shared resources (hallways, elevators, etc), so there is room for some money to be made, but that too should be closely monitored.
At a second glance yes probably it aligns with your point, or at least is anecdotal for it.

Split the re-triable action into one function, make a wrapper function that re-tries if needed, and use a third function that makes the decision to re-try and how long to back off.

Then you can test the decision function trivially, the re-try function by mocking the action and decision, and the action function itself without back off interfering.

That’s what you suggested, just saying that I did that in a Python API client with the backoff library and the result is pretty neat.

He doesn't literally mean only the bricks. He means the construction of the house. That's very cheap depending on the house.

Also you maybe be underestimating how expensive bricks are! A brick house might have 10k bricks and fancy ones can cost like £2 each, so that's £20k literally just on the materials for the outer skin.

House construction is expensive because it uses a ton of materials (even if per kg the material is cheap) and a ton of labour.

1. From what I've read, nobody (outside of Jews and Christians) cared or realized that there was a difference between Jews and Christians. So I stand by my words of "considered".

I currently make my living porting software to non-Linux and non-x86_64 cross-built systems, and I can vouch with certainty from lived experience that your assertions are entirely untrue.
While there's lots of different models of open source, what I've seen most often is people setting it up first then selling themselves as gurus and support for major users with money. Often they live low overhead lives - not competitive with SF salaries or startup world. VC money doesn't generally fit this model. While I'm sure there's some, the vast majority of open-source software relied on to run most of the modern world is not VC funded.
The last time I looked we can't even parse and build a semantic model for anything more than simple sentences to build a coherent representation of their meaning. Which tells me this is just some glorified sort of fuzzy matching algorithm.

No offense taken. Cleaving away my very personal anger about how my dad's wealth fucked over my college plans: Moral culpability for high housing prices lies primarily with those who enact the housing regulations which artificially constrain supply, and hence allow long-term profits to be made in a market which really should drift down towards prefect competition, and not with the actual housing providers themselves, who are just ordinary profit-seeking business owners like the rest of us. You're doing a service to your fellow man, no matter what, because voluntary trade benefits both parties by definition.

People often get in fights about the thorny intermediate layer here, which is that politics and economics intertwine. Many landlords politically advocate for further supply-constraining laws in their area, because surprise surprise, long-term profits are a really sweet deal if you can get them. I have no qualms saying that that is both (a) perfectly economically rational and (b) still a wrong thing to do. But I want to underline that that is mostly missing the forest for the trees here, which is housing regulations being a well entrenched thing in the first place.

Finance!

We've been in a 50 year cycle of banks and institutions offering higher and higher salary multipliers to borrowers so that people can afford bigger and better houses. The demand for those houses goes up, the prices follows. Time to increase the multiplier. Rinse, repeat.

Why? Big mortgages generate big interest, far outweighing defaults.

If you're uncertain, what do you think would happen to house prices if banks suddenly limited their new loans to 5x salary?
I think it depends of what they want. Like a search is indeed an easy solution, but if they want a summarization or a generated, straight answer so then things get a little bit harder.
I'd argue that people live in small apartments because they like living centrally and dislike long commutes more than Americans. Certainly in the part of Europe where I live, a SFH in a not very popular suburbs with a long commute is a lot cheaper than buying a nice apartment down town.

I don't really understand the distinction between "multi-arity" and "unary" functions. In my mental model, all functions are unary, it's just that in "traditional", non-FP languages it's more common to pack arguments into tuples. That is `(a, b, c) => ...` in JS is a unary function which takes a tuple of 3 items. But the thing is, FP has tuples too (and in Haskell, with pretty much the same syntax), it's just that most of the time arguments aren't packed into tuples.

So could you elaborate to me where the distinction lies here and why is there a need to "simulate" things?

> I feel this often gets lost when people approach the Fourier transform from a more engineering perspective, not at least because we often do the transform to throw away unwanted information, like certain frequency components.

That was my problem as well. My first introduction to Fourier transforms was through more of an engineering lens. I remember having trouble with the _inverse_ Fourier transform. I was OK with a Fourier inverse of an already transformed function but I wasn't quite sure what that would mean when applied to a non-transformed, "regular" function.
25 years ago autotools, and their predecessor the Cygnus tools, were a breath of fresh air. Porting stuff was a nightmare (imake, mkmk, many hand-rolled Makefiles that only supported the author's own system) and autotools made it easy, especially if you were running a non-homogeneous collection of Unix and Unix-like systems, including both libc5 and libc6 variants of Linux.
