Back when I wrote Rails apps, Arel was stable enough and its own gem. Things may have changed, and that’s incredibly depressing.

Sometimes you just need SQL not everything that AR gives you. Most apps are read heavy, so you need an escape hatch. For me, Arel was always that: a programmatic way to alter SQL.

Hanami is a complete Rails replacement. I wouldn’t advocate for that at all.

A nice way to think about eta-reduction is that it asserts something about the types of expressions in lambda calculus, namely that every expression is in fact a function.

If an expression M can appear in the left position of the function application operation, this implies that M is a function.

By way of analogy, if I have a formula x == x+0, this implies that x is a number.

Or, s == s + '' would imply that s is a string.

So, if M == lambda x. M(x), this is saying that M is a function.

I have seen no evidence of this in papers by Martin Richards, including the earliest BCPL manual or the contemporary papers on CPL by Strachey et al.

The descriptions of how the CPL compiler worked (eg Strachey’s paper on GPM, Richards more recent retrospectives) all talk about writing the compiler in CPL and translating it by hand to macro assembly.

I have not yet managed to look at Richards PhD thesis which contains the first draft description of BCPL, which he sketched after working on the CPL compiler and shortly before moving to MIT where he first implemented BCPL.
When did CNN get a paywall?
There may be innumerable (ironic) ways for someone else to explain what it means, but we are here to understand what you mean. The only logical way to achieve that is for you to tell us.

1. If you have a pet sum type definition, let it be known. But traditionally, a sum type is better known as a discriminated or tagged union. So far, this is what we understand Pascal offers: A union type that discriminates its subtypes by an enumerated value.

2. The tag that discriminates the type within the union (or whatever your explanation above ends ups calling it) is, in implementation, generated by a process that assigns a number to each entity; something also true of Rust. This is undeniable, as proven by the use of Ord and mem::discriminant. If you have another name for that numberer, if not an enumerator, let it be known.
IA has been under attack and has gone down for weeks recently. At this point it's a bit silly to place much faith in it as a perpetual store.
I dunno, maybe…

I do think, though, he’s drawing a slightly artificial line between self-improvement, personal control, and practical concerns. If you haven’t “self improved” to the point where you know how your system works, can you actually control it? If you don’t know how to tell your system to do things, does it gain much practical value?
There is a difference between a series of instructions that maps to machine code nearly directly, and a data format like an image, or factory templates.

The point about algorithms stands - it's not that programs don't contain any because a machine interprets them. I'm referring to the simple fact that program code can be expressed as a flow diagram - but try doing that with a CAD file. You can't, it's declarative in nature, not a series of steps and decisions.
Part-Time Data Entry Jobs – Workpt.com
> Rust encodes far more information into source code than most languages, so it simply needs more syntax.

I don't think this is the case. Firstly, all the necessary data can be encoded by keywords, spaces and newlines. Forth or TCL can encode everything Rust can (since their interpreters are 100% configurable), only with keywords, and spaces between. A language should have special syntax for only the important part, not for everything.

Secondly, even though Rust has special syntax for a lot of stuff, it could be nicer to the eye.

For example, RattleSnake here https://matklad.github.io/2023/01/26/rusts-ugly-syntax.html or "Haskell flavored Rust" here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34541695#34543124 are much nicer to the eye.

But if you need a bunch of stuff that may or may not apply to a function or type definition for example, then why not just use CSS/Rebol style syntax, and put all your keywords that apply in a row. No need for all the weird symbols, brackets, colons and all that. You could even use keyword=no, and be extra explicit.
Yeah, as far as labor market goes "women's liberation" never really happened. The social pressure to have a family didn't really disappear, and yet there's way more pressure to build a career to appease our corporate overlords. Is that really an improvement?

Ultimately capitalism is built so that improved productivity, more working hours, higher salaries never benefit the worker long-term. If people start earning more, the owning class will simply raise prices to match this new level of income. The US is the wealthiest and strongest country in the world, and yet young people there struggle to buy houses just as much (or even more) than their peers in much poorer countries.
Show HN: httpclock. A useless way to tell the time with HTTP status codes…
I made this a few months back as a fun little project and it has absolutely no utility whatsoever.

The server returns the current time in the request's status code — i.e., as long as the time can be mapped to a valid HTTP status code (e.g., 4:04pm -> 404 Not found) the server returns that status code for the request.

Example: https://x.com/scottinallcaps/status/1827211120194486597

The httpclock.com domain detects timezone by IP and redirects to the respective subdomain such as pt.httpclock.com (but will fall back to UTC)

A browser will show a blank page for most of the day given the number of valid status codes, but you can check other timezone subdomains, e.g. `curl -I https://cet.httpclock.com`

Note: "Invalid" times will return 999 with no content.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this very useless clock. I plan to post the code on GitHub soon since I may as well. Thanks!

They probably do use social media, but not in the bubble of the people who were surprised at the outcome of the election. That's actually one of the problems with social media. People are able to connect exclusively with in group and cut everyone else out of their lives.

Lessons Learned from Launching Handy.com
And just to be clear, this is still not "convincing performance" since it is still the WYSIWIG model of robotics in the sense that it can only do exactly what you see it doing in the videos. It can fold a couple of shirts and a pair of pants and wouldn't, e.g., be able to fold my hoodies, never mind a bra or something else with straps.

The big advance here seems to be that the robot can pick the clothes out of a basket on its own rather than having someone set it all up neatly for it. I mean they sort of imply it here but you have to read carefully to understand what they refer to (folding a t-shirt that hasn't been laid flat on a table first):

Laundry. We fine-tuned π0 to fold laundry, using either a mobile robot or a fixed pair of arms. The goal is to get the clothing into a neat stack. This task is exceptionally difficult for robots (...and some humans): while a single t-shirt laid flat on the table can sometimes be folded just by repeating a pre-scripted set of motions, a pile of tangled laundry can be crumpled in many different ways, so it is not enough to simply move the arms through the same motion. To our knowledge, no prior robot system has been demonstrated to perform this task at this level of complexity.
Suffering is not necessarily ethical.

Minus the maintenance for the wear-and-tear of expending (ahem) astronomical amounts of energy to propel the largest rocket ever built into space and then return through atmospheric re-entry ten or more times. Just because you have built a machine that might, at scale, be more economical than an expendable rocket does not mean that the economics will actually materialize such that it ever makes sense to realize that scale, especially if you dectuple your expected operating costs.
You do. The zig compiler and stdlib can iterate faster across a team of mostly by numbers volunteer developers with varying degrees of skill and across global timezones because of the discipline that the compiler imposes.

Great piece, beautifully written.

For others who, at first glance, assumed the publication was some kind of magazine dedicated to woodworking, it is not. From their 'About' page:

Immaterial Incorporated (aka Cabinet) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) art and culture organization founded in 1999. By operating with the most expansive and inclusive definition of “culture” possible, one that includes both the quotidian and the extraordinary, Cabinet aims to foster curiosity about the world we have made and inhabit. We believe that curiosity is the very basis of ethics insofar as a deeper understanding of our social and material cultures encourages us both to be better custodians of the world and at the same time allows us to imagine it otherwise.
Yes it definitely was. Once you look at the logos and the company it's an obvious nod to that fixture of business and IT in the region. https://mrrobot.fandom.com/wiki/Steel_Mountain
I agree. So far I haven't seen production-ready robots doing even relatively simple agricultural tasks, such as picking tomatoes in a greenhouse and taking care of the plants. It's all done by cheap foreign labour. If that's too hard to automate, I'm not yet holding my breath for general purpose household robots either.

Admittedly the videos in this article do seem promising though, would love to see how this tech would perform in a greenhouse.

I don't get it, for me a computer is a tool. I want to get away from it as fast as possible, having to tweak the environment is a waste of time .

That's why I like macos so much, nothing is perfect but I know that whatever I do there are tools somewhat easy to use .

For instance I wanted to read an epub on my computer that runs windows, believe it or not but finding a good or even descent epub reader is a nightmare. Wasted a lot of time before settling on FB reader.

On mac, you just have the book app. It's not perfect, when you export highlights for instance it always add 'copyright blabla' but it's good enough for my casual reading.

Same for pdf, you want an app that can read pdf and do some basic stuff like reorganize pages or compress them. On Mac there is preview, on windows ? Edge can just read and it's a browser, adobe is paid software and install a lot of junk.

And you repeat that for basically everything it's such a waste of time.

Linux is even worst than windows on that matter.

If you are looking for that kind of 'experience' like the author, i suggest hitting yourself on the balls with a hammer. That would be quicker.
> This is too idealistic

I think you meant something more like "stylized" - I've never heard idealistic used in this context (although I've been wrong before with things like this - feel free to correct me)
I have been evangelizing this message to my close circle of friends and colleagues lately. None of us are devs. I switched my laptop to Fedora this summer. All my windows problems evaporated. Search works, and is a button away. File organization works and my file manager doesn't freeze if it can't access a remote share for whatever reason (usually work VPN inefficiency on Windows). What is installed and uninstalled is genuinely under my control (not Microsoft's). And once I learned my way around the fifteen software installation methods (AppImages, repositories, flatpaks etc.) I even enjoy having the choices. My battery life is under my control, as is all interface with hardware on my terms (speaker/webcam behaviour/drivers).

I've been telling everyone who asks that Windows has lost the Laptop market. The market just hasn't realized yet.

Edit: It very much feels like being on a Symbian phone in 2005 or 2006. They were horrifically broken, couldn't load a web page, had no path forward towards even basic note taking, calendar organization, social media, or anything. But the iPhone hadn't shown up yet, so a majority of the world still used Symbian.

Neat, I played with 360 equirectangular projection gen for a gamejam last year.
It has some interesting possibilities and challenges.

I started to image segment objects then generative infill to replace the background and make objects in the forground to work have z depth for vr, used switchlight ai to make objects into PBR textures so I could have dynamic lights...

I later found this tool for generating 360 panoramas:
https://skybox.blockadelabs.com/025e37f6fb27d9f2495cbbbf874f...

What would be cool is to have ai generated scene that is spatially coherent and explorable. I think it's possible with a bit of tooling now...

Curious what the author's plans for this is.

Functional architecture of cerebral cortex during naturalistic movie watching
I don't know about the deinit thing, but I think this allocator/writer stuff has nothing to do with "inside language creators' perspective". To me, even though it wouldn't be my first guess as someone who's never used Zig, it does make sense to me that it's done this way since apparently Zig does not really have interfaces or traits of any kind for structs to just have. In fact when Googling about Zig interfaces I found another post from the same blog:

https://www.openmymind.net/Zig-Interfaces/

which says that an interface is essentially just a struct that contains pointers to methods. In other words when you call the .thing() method on your SpecificThing, that method is producing a Thing that knows how to operate on the SpecificThing, because functions that accept Things don't know about SpecificThings. You can't manufacture that Thing without first having a SpecificThing, and a SpecificThing can't be directly used as that Thing because it's not. There's essentially no other way to do this in Zig.
I was unsurprised to find Arch and NixOS mentioned, they're more or less for asceticism, and they usually show up on the ascetic's path. But having learned the power of going without from Linux, there's a lot of similar places to go besides an increasing difficult progression of Linux distributions.

Repeatable Builds is something that can be practiced without Linux, but which the Linux ascetic will find pleasingly austere. Working with immutable data send like another. And then there's all the ways one can avoid using a pointing device, or not buying things your can't hack...

It's a path that Linux can teach you to to walk, but it's not Linux's path.
Proving 'aliveness' would be indeed difficult, the more time passes, the harder.

It depends on the network, taking one of the oldest, still existing, EFNET for example, has many bots for technical reasons, so some channel can't be taken over in case of netsplits. The ratio seems like up to a handful of users vs. a dozen bots for the smaller channels. That alone should distort the numbers massively.

For other networks, let's say LiberaChat, it may look different from a technical point of view, but there arises the question of 'philosophical zombiness', as I've witnessed the same shitheadedness repeating the same nonsense over periods of years, when I made the mistake to go there again. That could be bots, now even more so, or just philosophical zombies. Or some so called neurodiversity in action, which I couldn't care less about.

Does it matter? Probably not. It could be seen as a failure of my Zen, messing up my own solipsistic creation ;)
On modern desktop GPUs, there’s nothing frame rate limiting in practice about the technique in the article. So much so, it probably doesn’t make sense to measure in FPS. I don’t know which native text rendering you’re thinking of, but some text rendering methods are very high quality and not super fast or optimized, and they might limit framerate if you did a full screen of text every frame. Usually in that case people will render to a texture so that it doesn’t have to be done every frame. There are also enough medium & high quality text rendering methods that are fast enough that you can do full screen text every frame without worrying about FPS at all, usually fast enough to draw text on top of the game’s 3d rendering that the text doesn’t even noticeably affect the game’s framerate.
Strange that the pipeline (whose existence has been a major problem to both the US and a number of EE nations) happens to blow up, after Biden delivers a little speech on it:

> If Russia invades (Ukraine) ... again, there will no longer be a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it

And when pressed for more information on this rather ominous statement, refused to elaborate.

Its always odd when the 'it would be a shame if anything happened to it' establishment actually burns down. Even odder when the person the German investigation claims to be responsible did the sabotage out of Poland, and then fled to Ukraine.

With no support from the authorities of either nation, of course, despite both of them having Cheshiric grins over the sabotage.

I suppose it's very fortunate that Russia bent over backwards to do Biden, Zelensky, and Poland such a favor.
