This is a cheap overgeneralization.

What can we do to make rent-seeking hurt society less? Imo we should start by decoupling money from power. Right now, people are forced to participate in the rent-seekers game because his wealth implies power over them.

A zipcode should be plenty and grocery websites do that already.

Very cool :) I got a good enough score in the basic scenario by playing around a bit but it would be cool if you could link some kind of tutorial (e.g. to a digital PID video or something like that).

The fact that it happens 1) at/around powers of two 2) regardless whether using GC or preallocating makes me think its got to do with cache sizes. For example, the M2 macbook has around 16MiB of cache, which gives you appr

Elm comes to mind. Mentioned a bunch on HN but you probably wouldn't call it widely used...

Well no, obviously. Nix has not solved the rice theorem. But you'll have this problem whether you're using BuildKit or Nix. Difference is with Nix the final image only contains your explicitly stated dependencies. I.e. no apt, n

Like it or not, team dynamics are a part of engineering.

Not OP, but I think it's a valid approach. You gain: Model consistency guaranteed by the database, your backend basically only acts as an external API for the database. You lose: Modularity, makes it harder to swap out databases. Also,

IMO the Python version provides more information about the final state of res than the Go version at a glance: It's a list, len(res) <= len(foo), every element is an element of foo and they appear in the same order. The Go version m

Effect systems spring to mind but they're rather esoteric (in the Java world).

Try using it for concrete problems you have today, start small. I used it to write a small calorie counting web app and some other tiny projects and picked it up that way.

There's no null in Haskell to check for. Go check it out!

This would be even more palatable if it involved some more design patterns.

Does that change anything though?

If you haven't already, read "Gödel, Escher, Bach". It sounds like you would enjoy it. For me its more of a "pick it up somewhere in the middle and get inspired" than "front-to-back" title but iirc it cons

Would you mind expanding that? I always assumed that renting, lending or buying anything constitutes a contract technically.

Except that you're not allowed to take out a mortgage and denied credit if you're poor, which means you're stuck spending your money for necessities and therefore being poor. The system works great for people who (or whose fa

This attitude is how we get stuff like the GTA V O(n^2) JSON deserialization bug. I get it, nobody is implementing quicksort on a day-to-day basis, but being taught the ideas behind these algorithms is important for building mental models.

They have an interesting idea of "achieved": > Currently, only NVIDIA v100 GPU simulation is supported, and all GPUs mentioned later in this post are simulated v100s. So unless they can reproduce this on a real cluster cluster

In Haskell you have a lot of options to type your functions in a more granular way. Consider the type class MonadIO, which lets you specify that your function works on any monad that can do side effects, not just IO specifically: -- B

Just store it by selling it to your neighbor state or country and buying it back when their renewables are at peak :)

I think you're conflating the terms capacity and peak production here. As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, the peak production makes German electricity cheap enough to make everyone around them use it when it's available. If al

Solar does not drop to zero every night if you connect enough countries to the west and the east or your country is big enough. And there's literally always wind because the ground heats up as the sun moves, creating imbalance in tempe

To be pedantic, that's mixing latin (felis) with greek (philia). Not sure if there's a word already but you could do ailourophilia.

I recently visited Dublin from Germany and was positively surprised that they also still use cash in a lot of places. I even saw two pro-cash posters that read something like Using cash, we only spend 70% of what we spend using electr

Honest question (I don't know much about about EXIF), but wouldn't the metadata be peanuts compared to the actual image data?
