I was intrigued by that statement as well and it sent me off on a little research excursion.

Evidently a mathematician at MIT, David Spivak[0], has done some work on Databases as Categories. I found a presentation he gave to Galois[1] and a summary of the talk by E.Z. Yang.[2].

That said, I think "tables synonymous with CT itself" is a bit strong. Rather, the argument is that database schemas are categories if you model it appropriately: tables are objects in the category, and foreign keys are the morphisms/arrows).

This could be solved an even more fundamental way: Don't run your own mailer as a startup. There are lots of companies that will be responsible for email deliverability on your behalf, via an API. If it took them 3 months to notice no mail was being sent at all, imagine how long it's going to take them to figure out that their IP is blacklisted in Spamhaus or any number of other deliverability issues?
To be fair here, Google struggle with the idea of removable storage in existing devices, so expecting them to make a reasonable leap into reconfigurable ones is a pipe dream.

More seriously, this is indicative of a lot of the old pc crowd not having grasped what a SOC actually is (the clue is in the name) or that package on package memory has been a thing for years. Our non PC devices are far more integrated than people seem to realize, and this is why they have the cost, space and battery usage benefits that they do.
I used this site for a corporate video I had to put together. The music/loops aren't free but they have a decent selection and I was happy with the result.

I don't have any data to back it up, but I guess it's just companies following the trend on public opinion? They didn't before because the majority was against it, they do now because the majority is for it. Not sure if that means taking a stand, though.

That's how we unite car enthusiasts
Hello Hacker News! I'm here to tell you a short story about our project CARakoom.com
Few years ago we as car enthusiasts gathered to bring our knowledge together and create a web-project which would unit car enthusiasts from different countries. The aim was to create a unified web-space which would unite car owners, car guys and car enthusiasts from various courntries. In the same time this website should tell every car enthusiasts about various car styles and subcultures.
For today we have almost complete website written on our own code. We tried to make the process of creation entries as simple as possible so you could always share news about your car with other users and your followers. For this we have two ways of posting messages - conventional blogs (if you have a lot to say) and instant messages which allow you to share the info fast and simple.
We are currently developing the mobile app and make the social ties among users better. For the latter we attract every user to each other on the basis of geoposition (as far as such people may organize in local car clubs) and car brands/models (you always have to discuss something with a person, who have the same car model, even if he/she is from another country).
As for today we have 10 thousands registered users from every part of the world. If you have a car and/or you are a car enthusiast, please pay attention to our project. We hope it will help you get more car experience and find like-minded people.
When you have tens of thousands of hosts, and this database (because they do use an SQLite backend) is grown exponentially, it doesn't matter what the storage or query engine is. Whatever it is will have to be maintained and scaled.

TLDR; publishing static HTML is not straight-forward and dynamic has huge advantages.

Compare this NYTimes article:

to this one:

Everything pre-redesign was published in as a static. Back-publishing 1,000's of articles is impractical and risky (for other reasons).
There's more missing than that, but, in the spirit of early termination, I had to stop somewhere! Specifically to your points:
1. To preempt the faithful: Stateful transducers don't work (for a broad definition of work) in Clojure or Scala either. It's just that there's no tradition of acknowledging state via type in those languages.
2. Early termination is weird. In Clojure it's a property of the accumulated reduction value, i.e. not the transducer, the reducing function or the reducer/collection. I'm not sure yet whether to try modeling this via type or to try sticking it somewhere else.
3. Rich's talk is great. Also, it's been transcribed: https://github.com/matthiasn/talk-transcripts/blob/master/Hi...
This will factor in, but you can't make such sweeping statements - many parts of different stacks have their own intrinsic advantages.

Certainly, a silicon valley company of 10-20 employees will likely have costs of over $1000 a day - any software or hardware licensing will pale in comparison to this until the product is big.
True.

However there is the Nick Denton school of thought.

Denton ( of Gawker Media ) routinely shames public personalities for being clandestine about their sexuality.

The rationale for doing so is such that if no one calls them out, that the worldviews these public personalities profess never get the perspective, those views deserve. The backdrop of the person's sexuality and the influence it had on the shaping of those views is lost, Denton believes. [1]

I've gotten to the final round twice with no offers from Google. They called me a few time since then and I've said no. I'm not sure how many older engineers are in the same boat but I too am "tired of trying to get in". I know they have plenty of candidates to choose from so it is my loss by not interviewing. But the whole "high false negative rate" crap annoys me. This isn't limited to Google but all the companies that don't look at my resume (what I've done to date), and use the interview as the sole criteria to decide if I work there ... at this point, I don't think I want to work at those places. Maybe I'm just old .... and tired :)

You can just include local state.

data Fold i o = forall st . Fold
{ merge :: st -> i -> st
, this :: st
, view :: st -> o
}

type (i ~> o) = forall r . Fold o r -> Fold i r
-- compare
type Trans i o = forall r . (r -> o -> r) -> (r -> i -> r)

Now each "step" has local pure state and no other step can break abstraction barriers and view it. This also gives you all of the effects of the indexed state passing Rich called untypeable.

Fold is equivalent to an infinite state Moore machine, so a stack of composed transducers applied to a base Moore machine which produces whatever result you want can be compiled a really efficient form.

Early termination can be done by changing `merge` to `merge :: st -> i -> Either o st`.
Oh no, he surely meant the terrible atheist beliefs Turing upheld during the later half of his life!
Indeed.

It's more than a JSON to SQL translation, but it could definitely use various backends. It has some plpgsql Postgres code and some data types to speed operations (saving some round trips to the database), but it won't be hard to port it to other backends :)
Tim Cook is 53. Are you suggesting there's some sort of swell change that occurred in 5 years?
As an avid archive.org fan, I want to express my thanks to you and the team that runs it. It's a priceless jewel on the Internet and whenever I think about what it is, I'm usually awestruck.

I'm sure you're going to get lots and lots of complaints and criticisms and other feedback about the new site. Thanks for having an open mind about the feedback you're going to get. It's also fantastic that you guys are also users, impacted by these changes.

But my questions is, other than just providing feedback, what can we do to help? I've always been a consumer of the archive, but never a contributor, is there someway I can help, even if it's just cleaning metadata an hour or two a week?
Yes, it is possible (and common) to run Linux or one of the BSDs for free. But at large scale, a lot of people opt to pay one of Red Hat/Oracle/SuSE/Canonical/etc. for their free Linux ANYWAY. Buying Windows also means buying support. How much of this cost advantage goes away if you're paying Red Hat et al support fees?
I'm not saying it's not gonna happen...
Compilers/runtimes aren't what most C++ code does, surely?

EDIT: People are excited about it because of the promise of memory-safety (fewer crashes and security issues), as a primary driver. Servo is a proof that large-scale programs can be written in this way. They're not just excited about writing things in a new language for the hell of it.
The issue is that there are specific protections for things like age, race and religion, but not sexual orientation. I consider orientation, like race, to be something that you are born with that deserves the same protections.
I'm seeing this trend a lot in the internet of things world. Basically there is a push to replace stuff that works with interoperable web technology based non solutions for . . . Cost saving purposes? Actually it always looks like a way to sell consultancy and hardware upgrades.

A lot of this seems based on the group coming in not actually getting how sophisticated that system they assume to be archaic really is.
The passage of time doesn't "fix" deeply rooted beliefs. However, over time, role models will do things to change those beliefs.

It was peculiar at first with me, but I think I like it now.

Felt nearly the same way with "recur" in "clojure", instead of calling the function name recursively and pray the compiler would do the proper tail call optimization (elimination), but recur forces you to always get it right.
Coming out is an important event for any minority -- at least in the cases where the membership of the minority can be (or has to be) kept a secret. Not being able to tell anyone your true feelings can feel like an enormous burden, driving some people even to the point of suicide.

And like you say, it takes courage to be who you really are. To not feel the weight of your mask every day. For myself, I think it would be false courage in this day and age to 'come out' as a pedophile. 'Pedophile' here means that I feel emotionally and sexually attracted to children, just as gays have that attraction to men. A lot of people are immediately repulsed by that word, and just assume you are a monster and a child abuser/rapist. I think those stereotypes mainly exist because pedophiles are invisible in our society. It is very likely that everybody knows somebody with that orientation, but because it is so risky to 'come out' nobody recognizes that pedophiles are very regular people too.

I have come out to some very close friends and my parents, who luckily all accepted that I am who I am (I live in a European country, so that might help). I'm a bit gay as well, and I have a 5+ year relationship with my boyfriend, who also is a pedo (and somewhat more gay than I am).

Still, every time when I receive a compliment or encouragement from someone, a thought flashes through my mind: what if they knew who I 'really' am?
Oh, for sure. Aristotle is an even better example. Doubtlessly one of the best minds on record, and yet he came up with a "completely wrong" model of the universe. Really makes you question what we are so sure about these days, and also what it means to be wrong - Aristotelian physics worked well enough to be useful for a thousand years.
For me questions on the nature of consciousness have always been deeply connected to the question of identity. Specifically the following thought experiment: What if there was a machine that would read every atom of your body and recreate your body at a different location at a different time whilst destroying the original. Would the arising consciousness still be your own original consciousness or would it be a copy? What if we keep both, the original and the copy? Are there now two separate instances of your consciousness running?

I guess the only answer in line with Koch is yes. Consciousness emerges out of a complex system. And I might add that consciousness is not a continuously working "state of mind". It fades in and out during our daily lives. The consciousness we had yesterday is lost today and replaced by a new one, which runs on a different chemical setting in your brain (albeit shares most of the memories of the previous one).

I think that while I can "experience my own existence", this "existence" doesn't always refer to the same consciousness - one moment to the next the underlying system might have changed marginally or even substantially (in the case of being based on an entirely new set of atoms, which just happens to be in the same configuration as before).
This requires a leap of faith, usually not an indicator of good science, but it's not unimaginable. One could argue that his terms are ambiguous or otherwise ill-defined, but what if this kind of research could be the starting point for such definitions?
True. In retrospect, trying to make the Scala transducer type look like Haskell and then hacking into working order was didn't do justice to either language. As I sort of note in the text, the attempt to do it this way was at least partially meant to be "amusing."
I'd like to also see it go in the opposite direction, in smaller parts of a day.
For security purposes, it would probably be best to have something that hashes the key and displays it in a more human-parsable format like an identicon for verification. For a terminal, a generated phrase or sentence might be the best way to go; there are some stackoverflow posts about doing just that: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4683551/generating-a-pse...

For the more general case of analyzing binary data, I could see something like this being useful for other tasks such as visualizing network traffic, or analyzing logs. Basically finding some way to transform the data into an optimal form for human pattern recognition.
There is no year 0.

Also, presuming you meant "2014 years ago" (the most sensible interpretation of "year 0"), it's pretty universally accepted that the old testament that we know best was written hundreds of years before then.

Congrats to Tim! I've been waiting for this for a while. I've wondered though if he will have any problems traveling to foreign countries now. I don't know how much he travels, but, Russia has some bad anti-gay propaganda laws so there's at least one semi-important country to avoid.
Well, at least there's that.

Even Apple was running iCloud off AWS and Azure before they ramped up their own data centers. I don't think you can get any more competitive than Apple in the tech world.
A storm doesn't have feedback loops in brain-like interconnections. But in a quantic level there is thermodynamic activity re-adapting and re-shaping the system all the time. In any case, as Giulio Tononi would say, "it has zero integration." And it doesn't have consciousness, only energetic physico-chemical activity.

I agree with that view.

The important part is (a) that it does not have computation and (b) regardless of complexity, computation is not consciousness. Saying it and expecting it to "magically emerge from it" does not make that hypothesis any truer.

They are throwing darts in the dart and making it sound cool.

But, okay, I'll be nice and not troll the effort of making this subject cool and let's not put theory against theory because is not productive.

What about seeing something testable?

Take a Paramecium.

It does not have many neurons, so it doesn't have synapses but it still learns where the food is and reacts to anestesics as we do.

What about that?

That radical theory published there is not predicting the Paramecium, much less anything about the one in the Homo Sapiens Sapiens.

Bring me news on how quantum-biology is behaving down there and we might actually get somewhere.
What's weird? I don't get it (i am not american, clearly)
being part of a tradition doesn't imply belief or participation.
Apple, among other tech companies, has been championing gay rights pretty publicly for a few years now. Also they've had quite a stance on renewable energy and rebuffed investors that were climate-change deniers.

I think the type of people that would boycott Apple over this, have already boycotted apple over the other things.

I respect this convo because even though some of Jason's comments bother me, he stands by his feelings & he represents the feelings of many others and he's willing to learn/ be convinced. That's all you can really ask for.
Tim Cook is 53 and gay. Eich is 58 and straight. Very different backgrounds.
How is that offensive? Clearly homosexuality is much closer to being mainstream as 20-30 or 50 years ago. TV Shows and movies and music trends all make it much more acceptable in the mainstream. All he is saying is that it was much more difficult for people back then to come out, much more than today. That being said, there is clearly some distance to go until it becomes egalitarian. That's how I interpreted the comment. Some people could also use that 'coming out' nowadays to gain some type of social sympathy to their advantage, which was not the case 50 years ago where they would have been ostracized or even killed...

Why should we treat security like it's something we can google our way through in an afternoon? That's why sites and servers are compromised in record numbers every week.

Apple, Google, and Microsoft all rank very high as inclusive companies, along with many of the big tech companies. When it comes to buying phones and other gadgets, from my circle of friends, the gay community is pretty much aligned with the general population in terms of the mix of choices. While we're happy to see a CEO be openly gay, it's not going to change our buying habits.

I guess I could be wrong, but I know I certainly won't to exchange my Xperia Z3 for an iPhone just because Cook came out.
While this is already known, this does show us the world is not black and white. Tricky the whole thing.

Mozilla as a company fights for privacy and creates a lot of free software for the general good. But people couldn't stand it's CEO being anti-gay. Now we have the most dangerous (imo) company of all time whose CEO is gay.

Ah, good times.
If someone wants to do that then they've never tried to handle even a moderate volume of transactional mail themselves. Or they're starting a transactional mail service provider.

I'd modify that by saying; if you really know how to run a mail server go for it, but if you don't then leave it to someone who does know. Same goes for just about every other service your start up relies on; accounting, legal, etc.

Cost benefit analysis (even a brief one) will always help, even if you get the answer wrong. It's just a part of planning; your plans don't always work, but if you don't plan then you'll never know if you succeeded or not (or why) until it's too late.

Maybe he meant the bad faith shown towards Turing by the British Establishment.
Gay people aren't stereotypes who fit into one mold. I used to live next to a gay couple who were the among most conservative people I've ever met. I think that's the exact point of the sentence, to say "we're not all the same; it's just one thing about me" without sounding like an angsty teenager.

That said, it wasn't exactly a secret that Tim Cook is gay. Though it was always handled as more of a "this is something that can inform your understanding of him as a business leader" as opposed to "omg it's a scandal! He's gay and running the biggest company in the world!" His sexuality is probably a bigger deal among Alabama boosters than the tech community though.
The charger I have props the phone up at an angle. You can interact with it in a limited sense, but of course if you pick it up you'll take it out of range of the charger. So good for things like swiping to see how many messages you have and so forth, but not for making calls, playing games, etc. But if you do, you just set it back down on the charger when you're done -- no need to fool with a cord, or stay within cord-length.
