Right, I meant that the issue was not responding safely to a malfunction. If it was undocumented, the operator should have paused the operation and attempted to contact the manufacturer. I don't blame them for their response necessaril

My other comment got deleted cause this was flagged while I was typing it. As someone who disagreed with the premise of the article, I'm ashamed that someone else would partake in censorship of this opinion. HN is not for one side or t

Yeah, I took away the same thing. As an example, in the aviation industry something like this would simply not be tolerated. When you are operating a potentially dangerous device, you have to do so with the utmost care. This isn't to s

It's always been funny to me as a functional programmer that Python took off. People always talk about how much quicker it is to write code in Python, and 99% of the time I find the Python code to be more complex than the OCaml/Sc

1. It's definitely been slower than I would have liked. A lot of developments have been hyped up a lot, when in fact they are years away. Modular Implicits (which approximates Haskell's type classes) and Multicore have been in the

F# is very much focused on gaining real-world usage by making it compatible with .NET. It has a lot of features that heavily target this, so for example the object system is built to be compatible with the .NET style of classes/objects

So the reason for this is actually because OCaml has 2 types of expressions, which is sort of confusing. The first is a top-level and the second is just a normal expression. In top-level expressions, they are implicitly put into scope. If y

For those considering learning OCaml, I thought I'd share my (admittedly biased) thoughts about the language as a long-time user (well... roughly 4.5 years). Out of all the languages I've learned, OCaml is one of the few that I wo

I assume OCamllex and OCamlyacc (or the various other alternatives like Sedlex and Menhir). The OCaml standard distribution is very compiler-writing-oriented, so to speak, and comes with tools for parsing out of the box. A lot of newer proj

This is something that confused me for a long time, but I think I've started to understand. A company obviously has some intrinsic value (e.g. through its assets), and that's part of what's reflected in the stock. But change

There is honestly no way Intel would be stupid enough to do that. I hope.

I don't know how much of this is just the administration trying to come up with an excuse for their behavior, but this seems to say a lot about Japanese culture. In the West, discrimination was historically used to raise one above othe

This is true for any company though. The value of a company has little to do with their current assets or current cash flow. At the end of the day, owning stocks is still betting on a company's future.

There are so many variables. For example, if they can't travel faster than the speed of light, they might not even think it's worth colonizing. They could also be on scales vastly different from our own, as microbes or as planets.

To be fair, the reason so many people can't afford a $400 emergency is because most people don't save anything in the bank. And this is not exclusive to working class folks. A lot of people do a terrible job budgeting/saving&

Yes, but nobody really believes in trickle down economics. The entire name of "trickle down economics" came from people who were against supply-side economics and named it based on their (mis)understanding of the theory. Around ha

Unrelated, but have LTU's site admins just disappeared? I signed up for an account probably over a year ago and it still hasn't been verified.

For data in general, I don't think either HTML or PDF is perfect. Both are designed for you to lay out how a document is displayed, rather than the content specifically. For example, some content in HTML is invisible or split between d

Dhall is really similar to Nix in that regard, though in practice I've never seen Nix used for real configs (sadly). Usually trying to do so in Nix ends up being really ugly because the Nix features don't translate directly to con

Why is it so hard to say that both sides can be right? Kratom definitely helps many people, much the same as cannabis, amphetamines, and other opioids. It has a clear medical purpose and maybe even a recreational purpose. We have not seen a

Maybe to a degree, but a lot of those jobs only exist because of how low the wages are. Very few large corporations can afford to just give everyone a raise. That's a terribly short-sighted view of the economy and business administrati

The logical solution is to focus on how to stop lynchings, not how to stop "fake news". At the end of the day, these are still murders and treating them as anything else, especially for the purpose of smuggling censorship into law

It's literally not something that gets programmed though. It's like asking "if Microsoft Word stops responding and I press the close button, is it programmed to auto-save my file?" It could not possibly get to that point

Thought so too until I tried it. Once you get started with it, it quickly becomes clear that it's all built on top of hacks that won't scale past a 1 page app. It's not a bad choice for prototyping, but I'm not convinced

No, it's really not. I mean sure there is some of that, but you're wrong if you think that's all people use Snapchat for. People share things on Snapchat to their close group of friends which means you're willing to say
