Oh I see a unilateral execution program does not warrant a vaguely rude nickname. A bridge too far. Glad you’re concerning yourself with the important issues (while Gitmo remains open and holds people)

Much like peter thiel’s lawsuits against Gawker, which included funding a guy who dubiously claimed to have invented email and sued Gawker for pointing out this was absurd. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/peter-thiel-ema

Oh we have to worship our ex presidents like kings? It’s possible to criticize both Trump and Obama. For example my top criticism of Obama is that he killed a 15 year old American child without trial. His press secretary was not only was u

You are wrong and the drought attribution is correct: Winter wheat is the dominant variety in the U.S. and is (and is projected to be further) down due to drought. "a severe drought in the U.S. Plains has curbed production of hard red

Do you have a single link or other piece of evidence to substantiate this? I’ve never seen, nor can I find in a search, any evidence the ICP license scheme in place for that past 26 years in China has ever related to children in any meaning

Self glorifying nonsense. Gorbachev ALLOWED Poland to not get crushed. You think Poles were any braver in 1989 than the Chinese people who laid down their lives in Tiananmen? You think your solidarity was in any way superior to what they di

All async systems have pitfalls, I'd say core.async's are pretty minor compared to most other systems. You're right that `go` can encourage bloated functions and it would be better if it, for example, handled exception propa

This was actually detectable in the calls to the providers if they went as described. The credit card company tells them the perk subscription is active and the streamer says it has been cancelled. ("There was a valid activation of the

As a digital pedant I am very sympathetic to what prompted the creation of Atom. RSS2 for example under-specifies item "description" and "title," in particular how to put HTML in there, and using the most once-most-commo

I've never seen an Atom formatted podcast. NYTimes and WSJ each have a whole page devoted to their RSS feeds, I've never seen an Atom feed from either of them. It caught on sorta but didn't get the traction of what it was des

Are those the only people who terminate business deals “with friction,” sociopaths? Disagreements are normal and leaping to words like “worst” or “sociopath” because one occurs is not going to produce a sustainable business IMO.

If you define the mid 90s as “late,” sure. I’d argue the very phrase “Alta vista fallback” kind of screams “early,” at least in overall internet time.

Devil’s advocate: they’re more demanding because, unlike employees, they are not pushovers. They have skin in the game. You seem to have equated “more likely to terminate with critical comments” to “worst.” Seems pretty reductive.

You could get search results on yahoo. The directory results would come first and then search results from their current “partner.” At one point it was Inktomi, the Berkeley company behind HotBot. At one point it was Google. Before them, on

It’s “performative” to notify attendees of an international conference scheduled for next week that it will be cancelled? It's "performative" to explain why? Do explain. Another Xi bot on HN. Look forward to dang telling us h

They were not told of any issues until 8 days before the event, this week, after talking to government officials since 2024. What would your “fallback” be, eight days out? Very curious.

People build on chromium for the same reason they build on Linux. I’d personally prefer if they built on illumos or bsd but at a certain point people would rather spend their innovation budget higher up the stack and benefit from the platfo

Businesses that raised prices to cover tariffs also saw reduced demand — axiomatically, that is what happens when you raise prices - and almost certainly made less total profit (since the rise went toward higher cost not margin expansion).

I think you and I agree. This is about the Italian cancer aspartame study you referenced (Ctrl-f on cancer). This is EFSA saying the study has major issues and reiterating that aspartame is safe.

I'd argue for most people performance is the single best reason to use them. Exception is if you regularly use streams/channels and benefit from transforming inside of them. To take your example, there isn't much abstraction

It's evolving, and I'm using transducers more over time, but I still regularly am in situations where a simple map or mapv is all I need. Lazy sequences can be a good fit for a lot of use cases. For example, I have some scenarios

It goes beyond a foldable, can be applied to streams. Clojure had foldables, called reducers, this was generalized further when core.async came along - transducers can be attached to core async channels and also used in places where reducer

This, by the way, is why the lead example in the original linked post on clojure.org is very much like mine.

Lazy sequences reduce the size of intermediate collections but they “chunk” - you get 32 items at a time, multiply that by however many transformations you have and obviously by the size of the items. There are some additional inefficiencie
