This is an amazing effort, implementing ApplicativeDo and using Haxl for automatic batching and concurrency, doing code hot-swap in a compiled language, developing per-request automatic memoization, finding a aeson performance bug, translating C++ from/to haskell to do partial marshalling of data, implementing allocation limits to ghc threads, creating a shared c++ library to bundle the c++ dependencies in ghci for interactive coding, killing two ghc bugs, and more...
and in the end producing a reliable scalable solution.

re: children; in a gay marriage, at best the child belongs to one of the parents, at worst: it is adopted.

How is it different from polygamy.

Regarding property ownership: polygamy has been historically done is so many cultures that there is prior art & legal framework.

polygamy's legitimacy was taken away, unlike gay marriage, where it was never legitimate.

Both were illegitimate because of moral reasons. And now, that is being whittled away....
> but it's not relevant.

The point is, if a city does cycling well, extremes of hi-vis gear become irrelevant. The endless focus on hi-vis gear is a distraction from getting to that state.

The good examples of Copenhagen and Amsterdam are relevant to that.

When the mayor or some other official suggest that cyclist need "more shiney" and to "keep your wits about you" (1)
it is a way of fobbing off with cheap placebos.

I don't entirely blame a company for promoting their product, but calling it a "solution" is wrong, and seeing this "solution" roundly rejected here is encouraging.

> So what happens to clergy who refuse to perform such "weddings" on religious grounds?

Nothing.

> We already have cases of punishing & re-educating bakers for adhering to their religious views on the subject, how much more so those who may face compulsion to perform a union they cannot religiously condone?

Clergy are not public accommodations and are not subject to non-discrimination law. Clergy in the US can still refuse to officiate interracial marriage for instance.

The bakers you're talking about were not "punished and re-educated for adhering to their religious views", they were punished for discriminating against a protected class in the state they operated in. Just as they would have been punished for refusing cake to an interracial marriage, even if condoning it were against their sincerely held religious beliefs.

But you really shouldn't worry about that: this SCOTUS decision only forces states to issue and recognise marriage licenses to same-sex couples, it does not force them to make sexual orientation a protected class.

And in all 29 states where sexual orientation still isn't a protected class, same sex couples can have a cake-less marriage in the morning because businesses aren't forced to serve them, and then get fired in the afternoon because their bosses can discriminate against them for reasons of sexual orientation.
There was no economic incentive to ban interracial marriage either. That didn't stop many states from doing it. And there are economic disincentives to racial discrimination. That didn't stop it from being institutionalized for decades.

And I didn't say the supreme court needs to step in, I said the federal government needs to step in.
I'm not sure that a financial and operational network of automated transportation would be less defensible, or less of monopolistic opportunity than a social network.

EDIT: now to mention the unavoidable legal issues, which to a certain extent are similar to what Uber is already dealing with and "resolving" quickly according to reports.
it's an argument against marriage as a metric at all. No one should have to be romantically interested in someone to consider them a life partner.

This decision was awful IMHO. Government has no place in marriage.

So long as they are already involved with it, I'm happy that they're at least making the mistake equally for all genders.

But the real solution is to stop validating this religious rite at all.

We'll agree to disagree.

EDIT (to respond to your EDIT):

> Software developers have deal with unregulated competition and do quite well.

The level of knowledge and critical thinking required to develop (quality) software is a bit greater than that required to drive a vehicle. I'd argue that as additional resources are developed/released to aid people learning to code, along with resources that make writing code remotely with a team more painless, the value of software developers as a whole will drop.
Uhh... straight people have anal sex too.
Absolutely. In Emacs, I depend heavily on etags and the occasional rgrep to find my way around a fairly large project written mostly in C.

I haven't dealt with a JavaScript project large enough that I've bothered setting up tags, but I imagine something similar is available.
I for one am glad that we got the opportunity to show, state by state, that we supported supported same sex marriage.

An earlier SCOTUS decision would have taken away our ability to show consensus on the issue.

I'm glad that I was able to personally vote "No" to an amendment in MN that would have banned marriage rights.
Isn't Google ahead of Tesla in self-driving cars?
hmm.. In my mind it is the symbol of budwieser, cutoffs, rusted pickup trucks, twangy guitar music and rascism. I think I picked up on that growing up before I even knew it had anything to do with the civil war. As far as games go I think simply the use of blue and grey units would suffice for most games. They could use icons of their hats for example. I own several WWII boardgames and none of them feature swastikas and I don't feel confused or cheated by it in the slightest. Just my opinion tho.

There's one thing somewhere being good for your career, another feeling like you're living to work because you can't afford the money or time to do the things you want to do.
I'd agree, except for two things:

1. Google isn't going to be a player in personal mobility. Their technology is no more up to the task than Tesla's or anyone else's. Expect to see a few incremental improvements from all major automobile manufacturers in open-road autonomy, but nothing that's going to enable a driverless taxicab or anything like it.

2. Webvan isn't a good comparison for Uber, except in that it's dead. The actual concept behind Webvan was a good one and is now offered by many, many companies. Had it not been founded when it was, it's likely it could have raised a few more rounds, learned the lessons it needed to, and become profitable. There's nothing about Uber that's novel or interesting; from the end user's perspective, it's no different from Flywheel, which is nothing but the pre-Internet telephone-dispatched taxicab company with a new communication frontend. The only thing Uber has going for it is a structure that tries (and is now failing) to bypass regulation. Without that, it's just another taxi service.
I don't think you're right there at all. Taking your specific example, a '95 Golf got about 24mpg (combined cycle). Today, the 2 liter gasoline engine gets ~36 combined. That's despite the '95 golf having a curb weight of around 2,500lbs, and the 2015 being over 3,000lbs.

Don't forget that since the '90s, European and USA crash safety legislation has caused very large increases in vehicle mass. Airbags, collapsing structures, side impact beams, rollover protection all are required now.

And finally (though you didn't mention this), the crappy visibility of today's cars is directly as a result of increases in crash safety standards: poor visibility is a function of thick A, B, and C pillars; they are thicker today because cars have to stand up to more.

Edit to add: This video shows a 50+ year old Chevy Bel Air in a head on, offset collision with a modern Chevrolet grey box. No analysis, and I'm not putting it here to add weight to any point, but it does show that we have made some progress. http://oppositelock.kinja.com/classic-car-vs-modern-car-safe...

Agreed, absolutely. I was only responding to an issue raised about religion and so I didn't mention the other ideologies.
I see what you mean. If I own a self-driving car I can pimp it out while I'm at work, cutting out Uber.

And I thought Uber was pretty weak compared to YellowCab on driver vetting?
"Easily disabled" for example like tweaking about:config? Yeah, that's super easy and accessible for the average user!
However, there are many legal matters that are deeply affected by marital status (whether or not you want to call it differently). Many of those rights/benefits are there for good reasons, e.g. child custody, decision-making in medical matters, etc. You can call marriage something different but you'd end up with a legal relationship that looked an awful lot like marriage. Personally, I don't think having a civil union that's different from a religious marriage (with no legal significance) is unreasonable as a concept. But it's not the way institutions have evolved--and, especially now, it doesn't really solve a problem. One could imagine civil unions being expanded as scope but they're never going to be arbitrary so long as there are rights and responsibilities associated with them.
|We implemented automatic memoization of top-level computations using a source-to-source translator. This is particularly beneficial in our use-case where multiple policies can refer to the same shared value, and we want to compute it only once. Note, this is per-request memoization rather than global memoization, which lazy evaluation already provides.

I would like to know more about this. What is a request exactly? An API call? If so, when an existing policy is changed, do the memoization tables have to change as well? How are the memoization tables shared? If this is running on a cluster, I would imagine that lookups in a memoization table could be a bottleneck to performance.
I suppose what I meant to say is that being entertaining and giving painstaking analysis of every pun are goals that are sort of at odds with each other.

OK, well now you have a couple answers.
Can you specify what part of the constitution is being violated here? There are amendments that protect race, color, gender, etc. Protection based on sexual orientation doesn't seem to be covered, at least not specifically.

In my mind, the correct solution to this issue should have been legislative (that is, add an amendment to the constitution), not judicial.

I think that's the wrong argument to make. There were a lot of things said in the Old Testament that aren't considered by most Christians to be applicable to them. The "Old Covenant" was, as the Jewish maintain today, between God and the Jews. For most Christians (more specifically, Catholics and several other groups), the laws in the Old Testament ceased to be valid when Jesus proclaimed the way into Heaven.

That said, it is true that the bible doesn't disapprove of polygamy. The Old Testament is filled with examples of God condoning it (Lamech, Esau, Jacob, Gideon, Solomon... The list of men with multiple wives goes on and on - God even gave Saul's wives to David), and the New Testament has a few "mentions", so to speak: Paul's letter to the Corinthians, which explicitly says it's his opinion and not law, Ephesians, and a few others that are suggestive of opinion and not law. But honestly, appealing to biblical authority is fraught with oppositions that focus on the numerous inconsistencies in the bible.

I believe that polygamy is a personal and/or moral belief, and while I'm personally an atheist, and personally do not have an interest or stake in debating the morality or religious support of it, I recognize that there are potential and actual inconsistencies with how rights and responsibilities are handled with respect to polygamists, and hope they're able to find the path to equality.

Selfless love knows no bounds, frankly. It's the selfish ones that need to find humility before they find peace.
SCOTUS has no police or armies to enforce its edicts. The institution functions entirely on "trust capital." Every time it strikes down some democratically-instituted law, it uses up some of that trust capital. Sometimes, it must spend that capital. But doing it too often erodes faith in the institution, and ultimately, that is the only thing they have.

I'd argue that Citizens United is a great example of that in action. In my opinion, the Court got the law absolutely right in that case. But they used up a lot of trust capital in the process.

Ask HN: Finding interesting consulting work? Go from execution 2 decision making?
It is frustrating when we are just told what to do, without ever bothering to ask if there is a better/simpler way to do things. Many times I (and my team mates) have better ideas than managers, only to be ignored (then 6 months later implement the same thing as if it was never proposed before).

Same with freelance projects.

How do you get involved in solving a problem and not just being someone who executes tasks? How to get projects that allow us to have freedom to think/experiment etc without having to account for every minute?
> The idea that Uber would thrive in going from "Hey, dude, sign up and you'll be on the road," to "First we're going to place an order for a $40,000 capital investment that is all risk to us if it doesn't pay out" is completely insane.

So the craziest part of a self-driving, autonomous, on-demand taxi service is that someone had to buy a bunch of cars?

Wall Street Wants to Become the New Silicon Valley
Absolutely nothing. The government can't coerce religions to perform ceremonies. The right to marriage is not a religious right, it is a civil right, and will be provided by civil authorities.

For example, in Massachusetts anyone can become a marriage officiant by applying to the governor. There's a form; permission is always granted. As a result, I have performed two marriages.

The better question is, what happens to a civil official who declares that it is against their religion to perform their civil duty?

However it would be a capital intensive business, and Uber has the capital. Uber also the brand, the customers, the data, and a bunch of robotics experts. They also seem to be really good at operations.

The two things that are a knock on Uber today are the politics around taxi licenses and the politics around compensating their drivers. I can see why Uber would be happy to eliminate one of those problems.
I'm curious - do you live in Silicon Valley? Because I see self-driving cars so often here that it's a non-event, and half the time, there's nobody touching the steering wheel. My former boss has ridden in one, and there were signups for an employee beta-test program before I left Google a year ago. I could easily believe that they will be in the hands of consumers by 2020, and I could believe they'll cost $40K once the sensors they need are in volume production. The technology's a lot more advanced than the handful of press articles make you believe.

How is Uber's 50b valuation rubbish? You do realize all the private unicorn tech companies put together are still worth less than Microsoft right?
Fantastic. Now the next step is to get government out of the marriage business completely (which was the case before the 1900s). Free people should not need to obtain a license from governments to enter a voluntary social contract.
If we're basing revulsion based on cost of diseases spread, vaginal sex would also have to be considered disgusting. Actually, you'd have to view quite a lot of non-sexual activities with revulsion as well based on that premise. Sorry, but I don't believe it's any more gross or decent than any other consensual sex act.
Damn you FaceBook.

I dislike the underlying premise, the adverts, and (especially) the "real names" policy.

But... between great bits of Open Source like React, cool infrastructure projects like this, and a technical culture which seems a whole lot more open than many other big companies, it's getting kind-of hard to go on hating.

Can you dump a ton of money into replicating Facebook and have it succeed? Google+ seems to indicate no. Since the value of a social network derives from my friends being on it also, some critical mass of us have to switch at the same time.

I can retroactively justify an answer of "yes" to those questions. Also presumably I wouldn't explicitly state I was using jury nullification, as I am only required to return a verdict.

>Are you willing to carry out the law as it is written?

Yes. As written, I can deliver whatever verdict I want and the law says I cannot be prosecuted for it.

>Are you willing to decide this case based on the facts presented to you

Yes. With the facts given to me, I choose not to convict this person.
No. Polygamy happened in the Old Testament. It was never prescribed and it never ended well.
Well all rights not defined in the Constitution are inherently in the domain of the states. Marriage is not within the Constitution and this was not a Constitutional issue. This came before the courts mainly because Federal Law needed to be applied to all states for issues concerning pay, benefits, visitation, and so on. So it was more similar to interstate commerce than anything, it certainly wasn't under the equal protection clause because there had not been a national law denoting the designation as existing. No any attempts to say other wise can be slapped down by 14th Amendment challenges - as in gay couples are designated properly within the confines of the law (likely it may take a bill similar to the civil rights law to make it unquestionable)
It depends on what you're working on.

If you're working on, say, a huge Java codebase, then a debugger is practically essential because you've got a lot of code to navigate, and you probably want to see what flavour of objects are being passed around and how their state is being updated.

On the other hand, if you're working on, ooh, a Nodejs codebase, you're probably looking at less code, with a debugger that's much slower, and probably more functional code that is operating on data directly. Using a debugger in that case is often slower than just using print statements.
