Australia had something similar to implement its "White Australia" policy. Apparently, British authorities objected to explicitly racist rules. So the scheme they came up with was that the border officials could, at their discretion, ask somebody coming into the country to pass a dictation test to prove their literacy. The test could be administered in any European language. Very few people managed to pass. Details:

Well, he lived in Dublin, where Stoker lived, and I'd bet the library he visited had a special Stoker collection that might have attracted a fan. There's also the fact that Stoker's mother Charlotte helped open state schools for deaf children; so there may have been some connection there, too. But yeah, on such strange coincidences many discoveries rest.

It's interesting how much you can find just by reading old newspapers and magazines. Everybody just reads Wikipedia now, even journalists, so it's become basically the sole source of truth. If it's not in there, it's not on record.

> If you’re saying this is inherently functional then your saying computing at its most primitive state is inherently functional.

Sure. But computing isn't what most code does.

> Fp is more modular and therefore more adaptable for the future

That is wrong. It's cleaner to read, but it usually requires more lines of code to be changed when requirements change - so it's less adaptable.

Before changes

FP:

y = 1
a = (x) => x + 1
b = (x) => x \* 2
c = (x) => x \* x
d = (x) => x - 4
f = a . b . c . d

result = f(y)

ugly imperative code:

y = 1;
void doABCD() {
y += 1;
y *= 2;
y *= y;
y -= 4;
}

Now you want to count how many times you squared numbers larger than 1000.

FP:

y = [1, 0]
a = (x) => [x[0] + 1, x[1]]
b = (x) => [x[0] \* 2, x[1]]
c = (x) => [x[0] \* x, x>1000 ? x[1]+1 : x[1]]
d = (x) => [x[0] - 4, x[1]]
f = a . b . c . d

result = f(y)

imperative:

y = 1;
count = 0;
void doABCD() {
y += 1;
y *= 2;
if (y > 1000)
count ++;
y *= y;
y -= 4;
}

Total lines changed in FP - all except 2.
Total lines changed in imperative - 3.

Of course you can refactor the FP version to split the part that requires the new state from the other parts. But in any big program that refactor is going to be PITA.

Do you get my point now? I'm not saying imperative is better. It is ugly. But it's faster to adapt to the new requirements.
What if we don't spend the effort, time, and money to 'decode' birdsong? What if we don't feel the need to uncover such, to reinforce the human exceptionalism?

There's two ways "statement credits" can work (which is a little confusing).

A. Pay money upfront and get a discount every month.

B. Pay nothing upfront but the service is full price. (This is what I see on the T-Mobile site.)

My point is that many people prefer B even if the total cost is higher.

In much the same sense that HMAC-MD5 is "secure". They deprecated all the lower-bit-strength SHA hash constructions.

Having worked in Rust I love the pattern matching proposal. Having dabbled in Swift I like the single argument function part (though keep the brackets, please)

Much of the rest I could take or leave… but then is that just because I’m not familiar with them? Stuff like the pipe operator makes sense to me but it reminds me of .reduce(): there are a few legitimate uses of it but the vast majority will be entirely-too-smart—for-its-own-good show off coding.
Right, and you'd assume that if it was widely delivered in Louisiana, there'd be contemporaneous records; what that test is doing is pretty obvious.
I am surprised this hasn’t gotten any comments. This sounds like some corporate espionage by a different name. How do I get in on this?
Some of these seem good to me:

- "everything is an expression" is a nicer solution for conditional assignments and returns than massive ternary expressions

- the pipe operator feels familiar from Elixir and is somewhat similar to Clojure's threading macros.

- being able to use the spread operator in the middle of an array? Sure, I guess.

I want to like the pattern matching proposal, but the syntax looks slightly too minimal.

The other proposals are either neutral or bad, in my opinion. Custom infix operators? Unbraced object literals? I'm not sure that anyone has a problem that these things solve, other than trying to minimize the number of characters in their source code.

Still, I'm glad that this exists, because allowing people to play with these things and learn from them is a good way to figure out which proposals are worth pursuing. I just won't be using it myself.

That's one of the rows of the football field. Actually one I forgot to mention, often called "precedent transactions". You can see some examples of these slides if you scroll down to "Why these slides are made" here https://www.alexanderjarvis.com/investment-banking-slide-exa...

But when I mentioned relative valuation or trading comparables, I meant looking at similar public companies today and what their implied valuation is based on their current share price (more about that here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41862295)

Those relative valuation methodologies are different so-called "intrinsic" valuation methodologies like DCF or discounted equity value, which just look at the company you're valuing and do some math "in a vacuum" to get some implied value per share.

> Which makes sense - seems like Perplexity will always cater towards your average retail investor, there’s just too much complexity and cost to acquiring the type of data a professional cares about. Seems like that will need a to be its own platform.

> Or high performers who've recently become parents, or whose own parents are nearing end of life, or who have some other reason to want to spend more time with family.

I don't feel this is a fair assessment of what I'm proposing.

I haven't personally met a parent who would choose "8am to 6pm, Mon-Thu, strict, in an office" over "core hours of 11am to 2pm, Mon-Fri, more lenient, but put in 40 hours a week". I have met two parents who have left jobs that were more like the former, for jobs more like the latter. So, N=2, YMMV, etc.

Everyone wants freedom. Less freedom benefits no-one.

Choosing between "9am to 5pm, Mon-Thu, strict, in an office, paid 20% less" over "core hours of 11am to 2pm, Mon-Fri, more lenient, put in 40 hours a week" is hazier. I think depending on the nature of your responsibilities parents/caregivers might be pretty split. On the one hand, that 20% pay-bump is significant; but on the other hand, the freedom to be able to e.g. take a 90 minute lunch with your kids every day is priceless.

My point is stated very clearly in my first paragraph: These discussions get so damn hazy because when people hear "four day work week" many will think "32 hour week", many will think "32 hour week, paid at 100%", some will think "40 hours compressed into 4 days", there's no standard way to talk about this.

Choosing between "9am to 5pm, Mon-Thu, strict, in an office, paid identically" over "core hours of 11am to 2pm, Mon-Fri, more lenient, put in 40 hours a week" is obviously the most hazy. Its also not what most 4-day-a-week outfits do. Have you ever had a sick kid, the doctor has an opening in 30 minutes, its 9:30am, and you want to worry about also asking your boss "pretty please boss-man let me go take care of my family"? I still think there's be a good split between the two. Is your childcare hourly or daily? Is the second job remote or not? Lots of variables.

I feel like the hard part there is actually accessing all the IPv4 systems to change how they handle addresses.

JavaScript already has the best use of C syntax I’ve seen. Destructuring, JSON, functions. It’s so easy.
Which is probably precisely why Disney and Hulu don't want you to go through Apple.

Disney is halting new subscriptions through Apple to minimize Apple's usurious rates for handling payments.

Also, it's standard that if you cancel a streaming subscription during the month (after you'vepaid for the month) you get until the end of the month to continue to use it. Apple did not invent that. Netflix has had that for over a decade. Hulu and Disney+ have both had that since they launched.

Usually I hear it in the context of a person outside the team added to an interview panel, to help ensure that the hiring team is adhering to company-wide hiring standards, not the team's own standards, where they may differ.

But in this case I'm guessing their incident analysis teams also get an unrelated person added to them, in order to have an outside perspective? Seems confusing to overload the term like that, if that's the case.
Great, and now that you realize this you also realize why all these other right-wing schemes to suppress the vote are also unconstitutional.
