I&#x27;ve used with great results in my procedural planet generator[1]. It&#x27;s very forgiving, so made writing a &quot;UI&quot; with lots of complicated controls very easy for me.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;wwwtyro.github.io&#x2F;planet-3d&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;wwwtyro.github.io&#x2F;planet-3d&#x2F;</a>

A number of commenters have astutely identified the change in shot distribution over Kobe&#x27;s career, which is due to a combination of age (older wing players tend to drive less and shoot more as they get older or experience injuries) and league trends towards more 3-point shooting.<p>If you&#x27;re interested in reading an excellent analysis of the 3-pointer in the modern NBA, I highly recommend Ben Morris&#x27;s article on Stephen Curry, whose historic shooting ability is so absurd, one could argue he is <i>underutilized</i> despite his high field goal attempt numbers.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;fivethirtyeight.com&#x2F;features&#x2F;stephen-curry-is-the-revolution&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;fivethirtyeight.com&#x2F;features&#x2F;stephen-curry-is-the-rev...</a>

So... you will still need 57 spots in the code where you define how to sort a type.<p>Maybe my reference to sort.Interface is confusing people. When I say we have 57 implementations of sort.Interface, that&#x27;s 57 different types and&#x2F;or different ways of sorting one of those types. So, like, sorting Machine by Name would be one implementation, sorting Machine by Name then OS then RAM would be another implementation. You write an implementation of sort.Interface for every type, and for each way you would like to be able to sort it.<p>An implementation of sort.Interface just requires three methods:<p><pre><code> Len() int &#x2F;&#x2F; return the length of the list Swap(i, j int) &#x2F;&#x2F; swap items at indices i and j Less(i, j int) bool &#x2F;&#x2F; return true if list[i] is less than list[j] </code></pre> It&#x27;s the implementation in Less that determines the order.<p>That&#x27;s not really so different than what you&#x27;re describing in Haskell, it&#x27;s just not part of the type, it&#x27;s a new type that you convert the original type into, to pass into the sort.Sort() function (and because the underlying type is a slice, which is a glorified struct with a pointer to an array, that also sorts the original value).

That&#x27;s not really true: JAWS, the most popular screenreader, works with IE and Firefox.<p>You can have a single-page javascript app be totally accessible. You could also have an ASCII art app that renders perfectly in lynx be totally inaccessible to a screen reader.

Does anybody else use several editors all the time? I use Emacs, Vim, Eclipse, Atom, and Intellij. I don&#x27;t stick to one.<p>I wish I could stick to one editor but there is always some editor that does a way better job at a particular task. Each editor has its killer feature. I have tried turning emulation of emacs&#x2F;vim on many editors to provide consistency and its never been really good. Thus I have several &quot;default&quot; keybindings in my head.<p>Because of this I try not to rely on too much magic or customization that any editor provides and instead write lots of shell scripts (Bash, Groovy and Python) to do code generation and to find things.<p>But I&#x27;m always wondering ... could I be more efficient by sticking to one.<p>VSCode will probably just become another editor I have lying around. Probably for Typescript.

The canonical solution to this problem is to provide a function to perform the comparison, or to require the types implement a &quot;Sortable&quot; or &quot;Comparable&quot; interface.

If the programmer followed proper review and change control procedures, nothing should happen. Everyone writes bad code once in a while; in this particular case, the bug happened to be more catastrophic, but that&#x27;s more bad luck than anything else.<p>We have code reviews and change controls not only to reduce the number of defects, but also to provide cover when mistakes inevitably slip through.

TBH this has been such a long time coming. There has always been one of two extremes, logic based compiler-like tools that rely on a type system or static builtin library knowledge should have been replaced by fuzzy, internet integrated smart IDEs long ago.<p>Part of me fears that too many programmers are long on tooling &#x2F; GSD skills and short on software engineering and computer science fundamentals, which will become a worse and worse choice as Machine Learning aided boilerplate&#x2F;busywork cutters become incorporated into IDEs and compilers.

Calling the government to complain of their corrupt illegal bills is only a good way to be singled out for increased harassment.<p>You almost surely will be placed on a list of possible dissidents, your life will be sucked in a government database and your communications more closely watched.<p>Those things this is crazy have had their head buried in the sand this last decade.<p>The political process is broken, America is despotic police state ruled by an illegitimate, unaccountable elite.<p>There of thousands examples of government abuse at every level and officials are never held accountable.<p>Torure? Pass. Bomb a hospital? Pass. Assisinate children and emergency responders? Pass.<p>The people on HN live ina fantasy world where they still think calling btheir rep does anything besides putnthem on the government shit list.

Just to nitpick, that is 4 lines because you add a type too. Also, I noticed this in controller.go:<p><pre><code> &#x2F;&#x2F; Unreachable based on the rules of there not being duplicate &#x2F;&#x2F; environments of the same name for the same owner, but return false &#x2F;&#x2F; instead of panicing. return false </code></pre> Guess what, I worked with a sort function with the same kind of assumptions, but the implicit rules was broken: the &quot;should never happen&quot; path happened (names were not unique, after all). I found about that only after I wrote my own sort which was careful enough to check that the order was indeed total and when results diverged for some tests. I really disliked that because sorting was an important part in that tool (maybe it is not in yours).

I&#x27;d wager a lot of people (myself included) who prefer one editor really do this because it&#x27;s just easier to mentally handle. Because of that I wouldn&#x27;t necessarily believe them (or again, me) if they told you they&#x27;re more productive this way. I don&#x27;t think It&#x27;s necessarily true.

The reputation services are actually rather entertaining to watch. I write a lot online, and a couple years ago, my older posts started attracting dozens of comments from a couple people who seemed to be in a frenzied hurry to get visible.<p>At first I couldn&#x27;t figure out what was going on. Why would someone be writing &quot;Great post!&quot; on 20 of my stories at 11:30 p.m.? Then I did a little checking on the names of the posters. Turns out they all had some &quot;incident&quot; in their pasts. Now they or their consultants were pumping out huge amounts of bland, benign content from all sorts of accounts (news sites, Tumblr, etc.) in their real names. The net result: these new accounts and the resulting content swamped Google, becoming the top 50 or so search results. The bad stuff didn&#x27;t totally vanish, but it now was relegated to much lower placement.<p>In terms of whether this stuff works, that&#x27;s a tricky call. I think it all depends on what the nature of the client&#x27;s problems are ... and how much the world can&#x2F;should care about some past mistake as life plays out. Sometimes it&#x27;s hard to argue with the desire for a fresh start. In other case, it&#x27;s hopeless.

Generics introduce more complexity in the type system which in turn makes the compiler slower.<p>Generics introduce more complexity for the reader of the code because it&#x27;s another abstraction to understand.<p>It&#x27;s debatable but when your brain is thinking about generics or context-switching because it has to wait on the compiler to finish, it&#x27;s less time making progress on the actual thing that needs to be done.

&quot;Not relevant&quot; is not the same as &quot;not upvoted.&quot; There are a number of reasons why a submission does not receive many upvotes which are unrelated to the quality of the content itself, which is why HN has repost rules.<p>The 10 story minimum is to ensure a reasonable threshold for error and so a single submissions with 1000+ points (e.g. Show HNs) don&#x27;t skew the results.

Haxl is a great Haskell library and probably the biggest contribution to getting Haskell out of the academia. It is optimized for fetching querying and caching data sources, among other things, making use of parallelism and concurrency while maintaining a level close to the domain problem.<p>Haxl uses a controlling thread that spawn worker threads and is single purpose. No distributed computing in the strong sense.<p>transient has no controlling thread. It run multiple threads and is general purpose.<p>The alternative operator &lt;|&gt; can spawn parallel threads&#x2F;or parallel distributed computations that follow the flow of the monad. for example:<p><pre><code> r &lt;- runAt node1 foo &lt;|&gt; runAt node2 bar lliftIO $ print r </code></pre> will print two results, since there are two thread generated. Well there may be any number of results because any of the two branches may generate multiple threads or none, since they can stop without any result.<p>(if we need a single thread, we can use `collect`)<p>note that `foo` and `bar` are distributed programs as well, so they can invoke other nodes and so on.

It probably doesn&#x27;t. I use MinGW on Windows. Once Windows 10 adds the announced linux support I guess I&#x27;ll start using that instead. :)<p>I can build .exe&#x27;s that run fine on Windows this way and executables that run on OS X (using the X-Code supplied compiler and build tools that CLion depends on for OS X). I can get qt, wxWidgets and GLFW UIs working for both platforms from the same code base with CLion.

Probably not. Training for 3-pointers gets you 50% more points for (from what the outside seems like) a basically equivalent training perspective.

<i>It&#x27;s not as awful if you compare it to the gen 1 360 (RROD anyone?)</i><p>Eh? I had (well, it&#x27;s still in the garage) a launch day box. It did the RROD under the extended warranty period, sent it in and got it refurbished, it ran until the Xbone launched. A one-time problem with a one-time fix that had a quick turnaround. Your mileage obviously varies, as did that of others, but for me over the course of nearly ten years, it was a minor inconvenience.<p>In comparison to the Xbone, the foibles of which I endure nearly every time I turn it on. I dropped my Xbone in the DMZ and called it good, and that works well. But that does me little good with my friends as we ask, &quot;why can&#x27;t I join? Why doesn&#x27;t chat work?&quot; My personal fave is the &quot;it says my NAT is &#x27;strict&#x27;, but it was &#x27;open&#x27; yesterday and I haven&#x27;t changed anything.&quot; That even happened to me once. Now how the network stack thinks that a machine with its own IP address, sitting wide-open exposed to the Internet at large, is behind a NAT befuddles me.

&gt; It&#x27;s not that they are suspected more, it&#x27;s that they are a lead that can be followed on.<p>If they&#x27;re not suspected more then it isn&#x27;t a lead.<p>&gt; If everyone that used that Tor exit node where known, the Police would be faced with a different problem, too many leads to follow up on, too little manpower to do so, and not enough info to differentiate one suspect from another.<p>Which is exactly the same problem they have when most of the users are unknown. The probability that it was any given person depends on how many other people there are, not how many of the other people you know the names of. When the way you got the one name provides no additional reason for suspicion over any of the others, investigating that one person is the same waste of resources as having the full list of thousands of users and then choosing one to investigate at random.<p>&gt; In this case there is enough info to differentiate one suspect from another in that one suspect is known.<p>Being known doesn&#x27;t differentiate a suspect from the others in terms of suspicion. It&#x27;s like knowing somehow what town the suspect is in and then, because the investigating officer already knows the name of someone in that town, deciding to raid that person. Waste of police resources and undue harassment of someone who is with 99.995% probability not the offender.<p>&gt; No, it&#x27;s the same as someone running a wifi at their <i>home</i>.<p>That&#x27;s not what I mean.<p>Your objection to not raiding the exit node operator is that otherwise someone who doesn&#x27;t want the police to associate their internet activity with their IP address could put up an exit node. But people can already achieve the same effect by using somebody else&#x27;s exit node or by using the wifi at a coffee house or a VPN service or any of a hundred other ways. There is no additional criminal advantage to be had by running an exit node.<p>&gt; The scale is larger, but one thing we can assume with a fairly high degree use correctness is that the connection is also used by the people that live there, which is not something we can assume about a business, as nobody lives there.<p>So the internet connection in a business can be used by the people who work there instead of the people who live there, because people work in businesses and live in homes. What conclusion is that supposed to reach?<p>Also, many people have a work VPN account that causes their home internet traffic to go through their work internet connection, so the premise is incorrect.<p>&gt; I would like to see those circumstances tightened significantly with corroborating evidence (such as repeated logging of activity and during times the suspect is known to be on premises, etc), but I don&#x27;t believe discounting the information that the traffic went through the suspect&#x27;s connection just because they allow public use is ultimately beneficial.<p>It&#x27;s not a matter of discounting it, it&#x27;s a matter of accurately calculating its evidentiary value. For the IP address of an exit node that value is very close to zero. The probability that some malicious traffic seen from that IP address came from the exit node rather than the occupants is not 100.0000% but is well in excess of 99%.<p>So yes, if you have a large pile of other evidence that the occupants are the perpetrators, knowing that it was their IP address will add another thousandth of a percent or so to the probability that it was them. But it isn&#x27;t anything more than that. And it specifically shouldn&#x27;t be enough to justify a warrant when it&#x27;s the only thing you have.<p>&gt; Should someone previously convicted of child molestation that&#x27;s a Tor exit node operator and happens to have the IP address associated with some child pornography not be looked at simple because of the Tor exit node?<p>You&#x27;re asking the question backwards. Knowing that it was the IP address of an exit node tells you nearly nothing. You don&#x27;t then discount the operators, you just don&#x27;t count them any more than you would have otherwise. Investigate as if you didn&#x27;t know the IP address (because with extremely high probability you don&#x27;t). If the same exit node operators were actually the perpetrators then the evidence will lead back to them regardless and operating an exit node would only explain the IP address but not any of the rest of it.<p>&gt; That the suspect is linked (not necessarily in culpability) in some small way to the crime through this information should not be ignored simply because of probability if it&#x27;s the only evidence you have.<p>Probability is exactly why it should be ignored. You&#x27;re just advocating the law enforcement edition of &quot;something must be done, this is something, therefore we must do this.&quot;<p>Doing nothing is better than doing something harmful, wasteful and unproductive.<p>&gt; Sure it does. Plenty of businesses log all sorts of information.<p>Your original argument was that people at work would see you doing bad things. Now it&#x27;s that there will be computer logs. But now the set of people who can &quot;get away with it&quot; expands to include the IT staff. And what logs are you expected to have tying a perpetrator to a personal device on a public guest network?<p>&gt; Which I specifically noted.<p>But didn&#x27;t really address. Granted there are some crimes that are less likely to be committed by corporate executives, but what about all the others? I&#x27;m not aware of any reason why executives would be any differently predisposed to child pornography than the population at large. Are you saying the police should raid AT&amp;T every time they&#x27;re investigating child pornography?<p>&gt; As a single piece of evidence it&#x27;s not obviously anything more than coincidental, but combined with further information may yield compelling enough evidence to investigate further, whether the person is ultimately responsible for the crime or not.<p>The point is that having the IP address of an exit node plus further information has approximately the same value as the further information. You don&#x27;t ignore further evidence against the same party, you just don&#x27;t credit the IP address with more than the almost-nothing which it is actually worth.

Re. 2 I learnt to my great astonishment yesterday that that is not necessarily true: ER nurses in Austin are paid $25&#x2F;hr since the town pretty much has two large conglomerates that manage all healthcare [1]. It really makes one wonder why healthcare is so expensive in this country. My only explanation for the motivation of doctors&#x2F;nurses to overwork&#x2F;burn-out is that compared to a typical tech job, their work saves human lives.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;Austin&#x2F;comments&#x2F;4emntv&#x2F;question_for_er_nurses_from_one_who_is_moving&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;Austin&#x2F;comments&#x2F;4emntv&#x2F;question_for...</a>

This is non-sensical: &quot;The biggest winners, by contrast, are much smaller, less coastal, and low-cost cities just starting to incubate their own ecosystem&quot;<p>Since when was Boston, which experienced a 45% increase in VC investment and which still ranks #2 in total Venture investment a NON-Coastal, low-cost city? And the top growth location is San Diego (coastal, high cost). I think the key is to look at which sectors are experiencing growth and shrinkage in VC investment and see how that correlates to the locations in which those investments are happening.<p>BTW, Austin - it&#x27;s not doing well.

Is this a side-effect of mobile devices having extremely tight requirement for power usage and packaging? I could see how that, and a huge number of functions being packaged into a single SOC would make each board design far less generalizable from either one generation to the next or one form factor to the next. On the other hand, that doesn&#x27;t preclude drivers for the relevant chipsets being more easily available. Do phone manufacturers write their own drivers for all these chips as a matter of course, or do the chip providers ship something with what they put out?

That is an excellent point: while pork is more efficient on a per-calorie basis and a per-acre usage (because you can pack pigs into a factory and feed them corn &amp; soy beans, two of the most space-efficient crops), you can&#x27;t discount that land is not fungible.<p>There definitely is land that is only useful (agriculturally) for grazing. There will be a subset of this land for which the tradeoffs favor grazing (there may be some land we could technically graze but as a society prefer not to, eg, to conserve water resources or leave an area &quot;wild&quot;), and there&#x27;s no reason to not produce beef just because it&#x27;s inefficient in other contexts.<p>Pork also has a niche like that -- you can feed pigs food waste. Some food waste can simply be eliminated and you always have the option to just compost food waste, but there is a non-negligible amount of necessary food waste (slightly spoiled produce, table scraps, etc). If you could efficiently funnel all of this food waste into pork production, you could reclaim those calories.

I always thought the data from &quot;the camel has two humps&quot; merely demonstrated the lack of good pedagogy in the field of programming.

Atom is great in many ways, and I personally don&#x27;t have any major complaints about speed, but it disappoints me in lots of little ways. For example, on two different machines, when I upgraded to 1.7.0, Atom failed to reopen my open tabs - they all became &#x27;untitled&#x27;. And a couple of them were unsaved (my fault, of course, but I hadn&#x27;t ever been burned by Sublime doing the same drill).

You&#x27;re making the assumption that vim&#x2F;emacs are more effective tools.

&quot;Saying no is so powerful and it isn&#x27;t something you can easily learn and just stick with - you have to remind yourself it&#x27;s OK to to say no every day&quot;<p>I am almost finished reading &quot;The Power of a Positive No&quot; by William Ury [1], and it&#x27;s very good. The main idea is that because you say yes to something (e.g. having a life), it&#x27;s easier to say no to something else (e.g. extra work). Well worth the read!<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Power-Positive-No-Relationship-Still&#x2F;dp&#x2F;0553384260&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Power-Positive-No-Relationship-Still&#x2F;d...</a>

Is it really a launch if very few people have access to it in a private beta?<p>All this noise on Twitter&#x2F;FB&#x2F;HN&#x2F;etc. doesn&#x27;t help when we don&#x27;t get a chance to play around with it. Just saying.

I&#x27;d love to see more companies with an evil canary cartoon image file. Perhaps when violated, canary.png could direct to a cartoon unicorn sheepishly grinning with one stuffed cheek.
