It's important to provide context for why this project was created.

It's sponsored by Roam Research.

Roam Research has a complex web app (a note taking tool) written in Clojure.

They also wanted to build a mobile app for iOS and Android.

So instead of re-implementing everything from scratch in a new language they sponsored this project to compile Clojure to Dart.

That way they can re-use lots of code they've already written for web app and only write mobile front-end once in Flutter (but still in Clojure syntax) and create a mobile app.

This plan worked i.e. they do now have mobile apps for iOS and Android written this way.

I have no inside info so I don't know how much code they could reuse, how easy or not easy it was etc.

It's all based on publicly available information.

The point being: if you don't already have a large Clojure code base you want to reuse, then maybe doing just Dart + Flutter will be easier and faster.
I was on the phone with a buddy trying to troubleshoot Local file transfer speeds vs Speedtest results.

Speedtest kept reporting 100Mb/s range speeds (the tier he was paying for). Local file transfers however were stuck in the 1MB/s range.

After some questions and troubleshooting he discovered that he had used a 10Mb/s hub instead of a 1Gb/s switch that was sitting right next to it. A simple mixup.

His internet connection was also plugged into that same 10Mb/s hub.

There is NO WAY his PC could have reported 100Mb/s to speedtest.

Do not trust them for accurate results.
Yeah, and https://www.mostdiscussed.com/ is handy too (I get the titles in my RSS feed), but this isn't a Wikipedia article per se, so I was curious.
What do you mean polling the editor? Are there any examples of plugins that do that?
No, they bought a device that was secure, or least supposed to be. They didn't do anything to change that. If a flaw is discovered now that existed back then it should be addressed to recover to that state again.

Let's be honest: Apple is making money selling new hardware, so they have no incentive to provide support over a long period of time that does not generate new revenue. Nothing more, nothing less.
Down in the comments, he says that Lisp isn't really ready for production use. He lists some reasons. This was written in 2005; does anyone care to comment on the current situation?
So now we have afternoon and morning versions of HN? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7310404
The Fed isn't a branch of government. They also typically target 2% inflation, a la the ECB. The difference being that the Fed doesn't have a specific requirement to target it, whereas the ECB does.

Edit: They do the targeting through a variety of ways--and none of them touch Bitcoin or in any way are influenced by Bitcoin. Just like the Fed has no authority nor mandate to regulate any other currency than the USD.
And since the major decision makers of the Judicial branch are Executive appointees....
Sublime has 'limited extensibility'? Package Manager lists over 2000 packages. And what about Brackets? This looks very similar - editor built with web tech. http://brackets.io/
The 3rd and 4th comments were on topic. Now half the comments are boring meta discussion of the confusion.
Bullets do not fire themselves, and the person who does so is acting on a mental concept.
I use Sky/One drive primarily for work. The Excel app is pretty decent but the Word app blows. If you don't have Word installed, your feature choices can be pretty limited.
More likely archive.is is pretending to be Googlebot. The author has a lot of server side tricks, like fake Facebook accounts so that it can archive Facebook pages properly.
The issue only effects OS X Mavericks.
So... pretty much just like Java then?
If you're doing business in New York, then you can be sued there. It's called the doctrine of 'minimum contacts.' Of course, they could choose to ignore the subpoenas, but then the NY DA could presume the worst and issue an arrest warrant for anyone connected with the operation, which would make it difficult for them to visit the US.
Though the US has some private prisons, they are a minority by a wide margin. And other countries use them as well; the UK has 11% of its prisoners in private prisons and apparently are working on expanding (according to Wikipedia).

The county jail referenced in this piece is almost certainly not privately owned.
Lots of benches downtown (at least in PDX) have a bar in the middle to discourage bums from comfortably sleeping on them. The bar doesn't affect citizens other than being forced to share the bench.
When $0.20 ramen and basic hygiene products (kind of required for the sanity housing of anybody) are not provided, it kind of makes you wonder[1] where the several-hundred dollars per-day we spend to keep most people in jail[2] is actually ending up.

[1] rhetorical question; we know, more or less, where the money goes.

[2] prison is usually more expensive
Yosemite has regressed, in my opinion. All Screen Sharing sessions cause my MacBook Pro to freeze for 5 minutes after they are closed. I had to reboot the laptop many times.
I'm surprised that he's complaining about OS X and not iOS 8.

Coming from an iPhone 5 with iOS7 going to a 6 with iOS8, it was a major regression in terms of minor annoyances.

Particularly:
- selecting text for cut and paste in a text edit field is often very broken. I hit this one daily. I used to be a prolific iOS typer, but I've gone back to using my MacBook Air 11 just for this reason.
- selecting text in a browser windows brings out the weirdest bug, where the window gets stuck scrolling all the time. I have this OCD thing where I continuously select and deselect text for no reason whatsoever. As a result, this hits me many times per day. The only way to fix it is to kill Safari.
- When you have your phone open in landscape. Power it down. Then switch it on again in portrait, iOS doesn't detect the change in orientation. You have to rotate to landscape and back before it notices.

There are just minor things, but when they hit time and again, they get annoying real quick. And they don't get fixed.
Intelligent design proponents might affect education of children, which might affect you if you have children (now or in some future).
Still amazed to this day that animated gifs are everywhere.

Remember the GIF patent war of 1992-1994? Man... CompuServe ftw?
I agree. The insurance situation alone is, well, strange.

* Personal insurance does not cover commercial driving. UberX only requires personal insurance to be a driver.

* Uber's own insurance only covers when a passenger is in the car.

* Most insurance companies would consider being "online" as a commercial event. At the very least, Uber telling the driver to drive to a specific destination to pick someone up is definitely a commercial event.

* Therefore in my view of things, many UberX drivers are driving without proper insurance, a misdemeanor offense.

This can be solved by either making UberX/TNC drivers carry commercial insurance at the driver's own cost, or making Uber/TNC's blanket insurance cover the entire time a driver is on-duty as if the driver had full-coverage commercial insurance.
APKs are deprecated, replaced by Android App Bundles, adapt or die.
Re double stacking,

a) even ignoring electrification and only at a guess, there are probably on average more overbridges and tunnels per route mile than on the major North American freight corridors, therefore making any attempt to implement the loading gauge necessary for double-stacking much more expensive

b) this I know for certain – electrification is much more widespread than in the US (especially if you're only looking at trunk lines), and that poses a continuous obstacle to implementing double-stacking without expensive modifications.
International cooperation is a fine thing, in general.

International cooperation led by USA elected officials is usually a terrible thing, for Americans and also for everyone else. I don't know exactly how we're going to get fucked over by this. Based on previous form, it will likely involve exporting particular pro-corporate folly to other nations who unlike USA previously have avoided those particular follies. Also, since they're not exactly hiding the inherent coercion involved, there will likely be sanctions and stupid wars. After all, those are the answer to literally every problem everywhere, according to USA war media. In addition, it's a good bet there will be special pleading for favored and infamously badly-behaved USA mega-corps like Boeing and Wal-Mart.

If USA politicians actually wanted international standards of corporate taxation, they would copy what works from EU and also from other well-run modern states. Instead they claim to want those other nations to copy our dismal shit system.
For prehistoric nomads hunting would definitely be a more reliable source of food. Think of winters, when there's little to gather but you can still hunt a mammoth or some other large prey. This way, you take advantage of the muscle/fat the animal built while eating stuff you can't eat.

So, I could see prehistoric nomads being mostly carnivores for a whole season. Which would also leave enough evidence on their remains.

But I agree that the authors seem to have a bias/motive (entrepreneurial and academic) to overstress the importance of eating meat, perhaps cherry-picking on the available evidence.
>The body can adapt quite nicely to many foodstuffs

In a perfect world yes, but we live in a world where (at least in the West) pretty much everyone is addicted to sugar. A healthy body could switch between burning fat and burning glucose but I have yet to meet anyone who can do this without having been eating keto for a while. It's harder but possible as a vegan and I would recommend it to anyone. Just once and the body is better at switching back and forth.
Well, I don't use it right now. But really Xquery is a great language and you can do lots of things. I used it with XSLT a lot. I am still forcing myself to find the correct query for jq when I want to look through a JSON. Xquery felt well defined.
> In many cases, people have rare uses for a portion of piece of software, so they benfit immensly from it being dumb and easy to use.

One doesn't have to exclude the other. You can present a gradual onramp but make advanced features available and discoverable.

> I use probably less than 1% of what PowerPoint can do, and I wouldnt lose anything at all if I were given a program that did exclusively that 1%.

That 1% solution is called Google Office Suite :).

You obviously don't need PowerPoint much, and your use of it isn't really creating much of value either. Contrast that with people who use PowerPoint for most of their working day. Ignoring for the moment the difficulty of quantifying value of managerial meetings, it would be really bad if Microsoft one day decided to ignore the people who use PowerPoint extensively, for the sake of greater amount of casual users.

That's the kind of ass-backwards "economic thinking" I'm complaining about. I get where it comes from - pursuit of growth at all costs. It's a disease in software industry. Instead of great many tools optimized for the needs of diverse audiences, the "servers most users", "best economic decision" mantra is to create lowest-common-denominator toy that can gain userbase fast, and suck out oxygen from the market.
The point of much of Thomas' dissent, as I understood it, was precisely that the court is muddying the rules by taking concerns that properly belong in copyrightability into fair use. They've carved out a subset of copyrights---copyrights on "declaring code"---and made them difficult or impossible to practically enforce. But they did so under one vague fair use factor, not the rules about copyrightability. Because, as Thomas sees it, there's no dignified argument for exclusion or second-class status under the copyrightability rules, most of which come from statute, rather than the courts.
Yes, in your case you do have to be careful and very range aware.

But those who make the most noise about range always seem to be those who do not have an EV. And also there do not seem to be many accounts of people going back to ICE cars.
My son goes to UNC Chapel Hill. He was his high school's valedictorian and had excellent SAT's. He won an academic scholarship (The Johnston) that has a needs based criteria as well. My wife (she's disabled and receives Social Security Disability) earn less than $100K. Based on our income, our son's scholarship is whittled down to all of $1000.00 per semester. I'm paying nearly $9,000.00 per semester so he can graduate with no loans.
Oh I agree with your comments about the pinky. I tried BEAKL-15 for a while but I switched to a modified RSTHD to get more pinky usage (I also use a 5-column layout so I don't press shift or similar with the pinkies either.)

RSTHD is another good layout that has this left/right alternation, especially if you move E to the vowel side which I've done. But it does require a keyboard with at least two thumb keys as it has Space on one and E on the other.
> What happens when they do this to a different company like say Amazon? Anything good/bad?

What do you mean? AMZN has 3 million of 500 million shares sold short, less than 1% short interest. It would take one day for shorts to cover at average volume. Shares are also $3,277 as of Friday’s close, a lot of WSB people can barely afford one or two shares.

They cannot do this to a company like Amazon because the short interest isn’t there and the share price is too high. A weekly at the money call is $3,250 right now. WSB doesn't have enough capital to buy the shares or options.
Let's take a look at the formula.
Yes, an easy way to understand this is to imagine yourself living where costs are low, and pay is adequate. Now you interview for a job that requires you to relocate to London or San Francisco. You wouldn't accept the offer unless the pay was much higher.

Feels like this reasoning changes for those starting in San Francisco or London, looking to relocate?
Which leads to the question about why it was removed...
Imagine you are composing a piece of music that will move through a series of key changes (as most pieces of music do). On a piano roll you can see exactly which semitones are shared in common by the different major and minor keys. You can map your way through the transitions visually. A major triad uses 4 and 7 semitone gap, a minor triad uses 3 and 7. It's all so much simpler and clearer if you are starting from scratch.

Traditional notations are obsessed with pretending there are only 7 notes when there are in fact 12. Accidentals and key changes are obfuscated.
This sounds like the modern OAuth-based sign-in flow (for IMAP and SMTP connections, authenticated by OAuth).

This helps avoid app-specific passwords when you use 2FA, and lets users use their regular sign-in flow (which could include enterprise SSO, TOTP, U2F key etc).

I imagine that there's the ability for Google to set some cookies as part of that process, although knowing Apple, would not be surprised to learn they had sandboxed that instance of the browser, to prevent cookies persisting into regular Safari.
That has been solved with more user friendly wallets. If you're using a Qt wallet you'd think you knew what you were doing. The Qt wallet actually even tells you not to do anything until it's done syncing so you must have closed that overlay and ignored that warning. User error, that's your fault.
Mostly because they're sick with corruption and politicians in those countries or they hadn't had much to leave behind.
Yes, IP cores are very expensive to license, if they’re even available for licensing at all. This is part of the appeal of RISC-V - an open-spec, royalty-free processor architecture that is free of charge for chip designers to implement.
“Ouch. Big bug. Let’s contact the users who installed it from the azure marketplace. Good thing we got their names when they installed it!”
>I DO NOT WISH TO MAKE THIS A POLITICAL DEBATE

I agree this is an interesting topic and a real issue, but with words like "oppressive regimes", and "Big Tech all too easily puts commerce over conscience.", I don't see how this can be approached from a non-political angle.

edit: Not to throw it on the words that were used, but I think this is an inherently political issue.
Right? I research products when I buy them and I'm more than happy to have ads on. I think a lot of people don't understand the real reasons I (and many others) use an adblocker though. 1) malvertising is a common attack vector and I can't trust most sites 2) tracking scripts 3) ads are fashy and distracting with popups and popunders 4) page load times are substantially faster. As long as there are enough bad actors in the space I'll keep doing it, but right now those bad actors include every major website (hitting all 4 points). Show me relevant ads to the topic at hand, don't shove it in my face, don't play sounds or be flashy, don't track me, don't put a billion scripts on your website, just respect me.
Well, Julia already got it via https://github.com/FluxML/Zygote.jl
Look at how many people are willing to ignore GitHub's transgressions. The privacy controls it provides are objectively worse than the other big companies that serve as the go-to examples when people try pointing to evil social networks. You can also step back and watch discussion of its dark patterns get buried in downvotes and illogical, half-thought out responses that attempt to rationalize them as Good Decisions that Make Sense, as if they're selected for any other reason than to drive up user acquisition and engagement.
I'm a user and I prefer to see targeted ads instead of generic crap. I prefer to get recommendations that are based on my known preferences. I like the idea that my data helps makes services better. I also like to have the option to use some services for "free" instead of paying.

I would like to have total transparency about which personal information was used to target me so that I can opt-out of sharing a certain piece of information if I'm so inclined.

I would like to have the ability to revoke access to my personal information from companies that I don't personally like.

------

I understand the anti-ad/privacy fanatics and share most of the values but the extreme end sins in too much short-sightedness and hypocrisy. Understand that if your will becomes reality day 1 will be a very different day from what you had in mind. In the meantime put your money where your mouth is and stop using any services that uses users' private data for improving the product: search, maps, youtube, twitter... you're pretty much left with Wikipedia. Oh, and thank you for the cookie bars, great addition.
The US Government effectively made all currencies fiat by ending gold convertibility of the Bretton Woods agreement. Severing the last remaining link to gold allowed all governments to pursue the same inflationary policy for political gain.

So, all governments are doing the same wealth transfer because they are run by humans with similar incentives and the US Government destroyed the leash.

The fix isn't to add more bandages over the wound. It is to repair the wound by putting government spending back on a leash.
> I think Serverless would be another ideal use-case for Swift, where the productivity, clarity and correctness tools it offers would be a huge benefit.

I agree, but sadly none of the big cloud providers has any interest in pushing it - Google's got Go, AWS and Azure seem focused on Typescript.
"People in Japan tend to live a long time; elderly Japanese are expensive to care for because they spend so many years in retirement and because they're accustomed to a high standard of living and medical care. For any economy to stay healthy, there need to be enough taxpayers to support all the retirees. But Japan's population is shrinking and aging simultaneously, which means that the number of old people is skyrocketing just as the base of taxpayers shrinks."

Why not just set the retirement age up to mitigate that problem?
>Maybe even some interesting comments on Taler?

gotta be interesting to begin with the have interesting commentary
So in that hypothetical scenario, would that person be better or worse off if they were denied the option to do that thing they're doing that they hate?
I think music piracy is more than OK, it is good. I also understand the distinction you are trying to make and it is a makes sense. Journals add nothing. Musicians, producers, and other technicians do work to make music.
It might help if you root your covid and disable the sort command before the vaccine can install decryption routines.

This is awesome. We run CGM in the cloud for my 8 yo type 1. It alone has been such a huge benefit. I have wondered about zero basal to prevent lows. Thanks for pioneering here. Would love to hear more.
Swedish software company (not new-ish):

Almost all developers work their nominal work hours. A few work a little more on their own choice. There is no pressure to do so, but it's also not frowned upon (unless it's obvious that there's some cultural misunderstandings going on, e.g. in the case of someone moving in from a non-scandinavian work culture, perhaps thinking that they really, really have to prove themselves by working hard to get to stay.)

At crunch time sometimes key people get asked/ordered to work paid overtime (each overtime hour ends up something like 2x a normal hour, I forgot the exact constant). Estimate max 50 overtime hours/person/year, and not every year. There is some sort of social pressure that makes you feel bad when ordering this overtime....

Senior managers tend to work more hours, but they are also better compensated.
Thanks for asking, James.

Many Rails apps get/create/update database data on the Javascript side. Sometimes it is done using some kind of framework (Ember, Angular).

This is for the times you don't use a full fledged framework - think React or something similar.

Its benefit is that you don't have to set up routes, parsing/encoding for the data you send.

It lets you securely choose which parts of the model you want the Javascript to edit (permitted_columns).

It also works with Active Model Serializers (f.e. UserSerializer) - it lets you specify which attributes to send to the client.

It is as secure as you would do it yourself.

If possible, please hack the databound.me website and help me fix the holes if there are any.

Thanks!
It's terrible because it teaches everything in isolation. You have a section for this tag, a section for this function, on and on. You never get a feel for how all the pieces fit together to build something non-trivial. It's only useful as a reference. And even for that purpose its terrible because the information density is way too low.
Basically, a (very!) enhanced preprocessor? That would definitely be useful.
These 'findings' are as obviously vacuous as the words they bemoan. I really hope this was just an off-handed observation by Patil and not a serious attempt at inquiry.

From LinkedIn:

DJ Patil’s Summary:

Diverse experiences in a wide range of domains. Strong experience in working in ambiguity to solve complex problems. Focus on strategy, development , operations, and defining unique solutions. Experience in developing unique solutions via broad partnerships. Always looking to innovate by bringing smart people together.

Excellent track record of innovating using data & machine learning to develop revenue generating products.

This is one of my favorite programming quotes. I haven't seen it used much over the years.
Go listen through the Mixergy archives - http://mixergy.com/ - it's one of the most common questions that Andrew asks people. Something that I learned is that the answers are wildly different for everyone (and not solely by industry or company type).
