Having to perform tupled calls over curried is indeed an annoyance, and even a bigger one is the prevalent fluent style which results in

Ugh, I usually try to shuffle around what I find annoying into bespoke functions (which are thankfully very easy to define) or even declaring operators. It also helps that while selection is not vast, F# tends to have various libraries that either provide alternatives or wrap existing widely adopted packages into a more functional F#-native API e.g. Oxpecker, Avalonia FuncUI, FSharp.Data, etc.

I recently had burst of vintage digicam nostalgia.

I bought a Gameboy printer off ebay and it came with several rolls of tape. Still have it all in my basement.

So yeah, they’re doing rough…

Not sure what the path out here is? Seems like either finding deep pockets that care about their work or some new revenue stream, but without the cash to fund it I’m not sure how.
Was thinking the exact same thing. My hypothesis is that Facebook is behind because just as the Red Book suggests, its overall culture has been to build things primarily for people (freeloaders), and not for enterprises (who are actually the ones paying) like Microsoft (originally) and Google (eventually) do. If you look at Microsoft and Google, a lot of their garage projects are to build products that are useful to enterprises first and are hence more successful because it's easier to bring in cash with them. Their end-user products, meanwhile, eventually end up getting extinguished.
I don't see how the authors are dishonest about it, or that the rebuttal refutes any of the actual claims made. They make it clear in the paper that they're specifically evaluating people who aren't especially interested in poetry, and talk at length about how and why this is different from other approaches. I suppose the clickbait title gives a bad first impression.

To summarize the facts: when people were asked to tell if a given poem was written by human or AI, people thought the AI poems were human more often than human poems. People also tended to rate them higher when they thought they were created by AI than when they thought they were human-made. It's speculated in the paper that this is because the AI poems tended to be more accessible and direct than the human poems selected, and the preference for this style from non-experts combined with the perception that AI poetry is poor led to the results.

I'm by no means an entrepreneur but I would literally never trust any of my services to Google. Not even email. This is the most evil, profit-centric company that has virtually no user support, nor a care in the world for you. They shittify every single product at some point too.

My university English professor in teaching Wallace Stevens to us said "It doesn't have to make sense because it makes sense to the author."

How do these AI games work in terms of costs? Do you need to bring your own API key or is the cost of computing AI responses subsidized somehow?
Social media has terms of use that apply to everyone. This makes the social media operator an intermediatary who decides who you can and cannot talk to and what you may or may not talk about.

With email you get to choose your provider (or be your own provider) and in general providers are prety hands off. SPAM filters are a thing but you won't have your email account banned because of a single conversation. That makes email providers act more as facilitators than intermediaries.

'I'll Be Fine' in Prison: Pump.fun Attacker Pleads Guilty
When a scam hits someone's inbox or text message, it finds them in a particular time in their life, in a particular state of mind, and in a particular context. It's not just about how gullible or uninformed or whatever they are. They may be tired, they may be drunk, they may be spending all their energy worrying about a sick relative, or trying not to.

They may have just been shopping for a computer, maybe even a dell. Or maybe they need a computer for their kid and don't have the means to afford one and are more likely to fall for a scam advertising a good deal on a computer than for any other scam.

These all add to the probability that someone falls for a scam. Phishing is all about casting a wide enough net that the probabilities align against some of the people you hit at the time you hit them.

Victims are not just uninformed. They are also compromised, and/or incentivized to believe this particular scam, and/or unlucky enough that the scam takes place when they were recently engaged in activity that makes the scam more believable.

> A team can learn and start using Golang in a week

True, but why should we be optimizing for the first week experience? Your career lasts 40 years.

> Golang has even better memory safety guarantees than Rust

That is not true. What specific example did you have in mind? As an example of something Rust can enforce that Go can’t is not mutating something that’s shared between threads without acquiring the proper lock.

> Furthermore its compiled statically and more suitable for distribution and horizontal scaling.

Rust can be statically linked just like Go can. Not sure what else you think makes it less suitable for distribution and horizontal scaling. There are certainly lots of companies distributing Rust programs and horizontally scaling them so this seems empirically false.

> I am learning Rust myself and I just don’t understand why it’s being pushed so hard.

Because it has a lot of nice features that make a lot of people like it - memory safety without GC, prevention of data races, algebraic data types, etc. No other mainstream compiled languages has this set of features. There’s no conspiracy to “push” Rust. The push is organic. People just like it.
Git blame and bisect do care about the state of specific commits.

During development of a thing it should be desirable to be able to handle/test just whatever the current thing is and clean up afterwards if necessary, without having to completely drop ability to use git. But this can impact later bisects - having temporary printf("fuck sadjkoisajhdfo")s spamming outputs, project entirely not building on a configuration that wasn't cared about at the moment (or worse, build successfully, but function off enough that it's not obvious that the commit was not intended to be touched).

And then there's the general thing of having a feature that you had been working on, but want to move it to some other branch. Or you committed things out of order and the committed order doesn't actually build in the middle. Or you didn't commit some file/change and thus have a sequence of ten completely-non-sensical non-functional commits.

The inverse question deserves asking - why would you want to leave in your primary commit history things not meant to ever be looked at?
They are decidedly not. They are marketed in inches of the diagonal (a supremely brain-dead decision, if you ask me), but they are engineered, manufactured, and even programmed only in SI units.

If you look at your display's EDID output, the diagonal doesn't even factor in; what you do have are vertical, horizontal, and per-pixel dimensions; all in millimetres. This is what all panel manufacturers (LG, AUO, Samsung, Innolux, BOE, TCL, and so on) do.

Over a year ago they said something along the lines, that they pay around 1-2ct per search query (for API calls to the different search providers they use).
If this is still true, then this seems to be fairly priced.

Though If the API will get available, I won't use it as much as I want to.

I have ~1700 searches per month and use the professional plan (10$/month), which would be 1.7*$25 = $42.5 per month, which I'm glad I don't need to pay.
Regarding B: This tracks with what I've observed in this regard, namely that sponsoring by companies just doesn't work well as business model even for projects where you would assume that it should. The incentives are just not working out, and it seems impossible to mobilize even a fraction of the sums for OSS-donations than what companies burn for much less critical aspects of their operation than OSS tools/libraries/components (or waste outright).

Open source is largely a thing because lots of people voluntarily invest (valuable!) time on their own in my opinion (with corporate sponsorship being almost negligible by comparison).
It should be noted that Clive James was translating the text into quatrain poetry (with an ABAB rhyming scheme). He was not going for a literal translation. You can search for the line here in context: https://www.clivejames.com/hell---cantos-1-3.html
The argument you make about literature is one I have made before, but I don't think it applies here. To me, languages with clean syntax aren't just removing things arbitrarily. They remove things that aren't needed or they otherwise have large amounts of consistency.

Let's look at three implementations of a doubling function in modern languages where at least two of them are considered "clean" syntaxes.

F#:

let double x =
2 * x

Python:

def double(x: int) -> int:
return 2 * x

Rust:

fn double(x: i32) -> i32 {
return 2 * x;
}

Tying back to my original point, are the brackets, annotations, semicolons, and return really needed? From my perspective, the answer is no. These are the simplest functions you can have as well. The differences get multiplied over a large codebase.

Are people here really making the argument that F# and MLs don't have clean syntax? All three of these functions have the same IDE behavior in terms of types being showcased in the IDE and also in the type-checking processes, with F# and Rust's type-checking happening at the compiler level and Python's happening with MyPy. People might argue that I left off type annotations for F#, and that's true, but I did so because they aren't required for F# to compile and have the same IDE features like the other languages. Even if I did, it would look like:

F# with type annotations:

let double (x: int) : int =
2 * x

which is still cleaner.
Haha, so…

My girlfriend manages several Airbnbs around Hanoi, and many of these buildings have ground floors designed for small businesses—something that’s very common in Vietnam. In 2019, we decided to turn the ground floors of her rental locations into coffee shops and finished setting them up just in time for December that year!

Of course, as luck would have it, COVID-19 wasn’t exactly great for either Airbnb rentals or coffee shops. Since then, we’ve both shifted focus to other projects, but we’re definitely planning to give it another shot in the future when the timing feels right!

I agree. With the algorithms that things like "Dance Central" used, it wasn't that bad, because people knew it was just a bad algorithm.
