This is great. Being able to so easily take your whole computer with you is amazing.

I am a bit more into touch screens these days.

I would like to use a small SoC computer, something like the Mouse Box or one of the few existing fully capable Android smart watches, and plug it into a touch screen display.

Basically instead of a full tablet I want just a dumb display/touch input module that can easily interface with a separate small SoC computer.

A bit perhaps like project Ara but I don't want to use it just a phone and I am more focused on carrying the core around and plugging in different displays.

I guess I could get a Chromecast or something and plug my smart watch/small SoC HDMI into the cheapest tablet available and that would achieve basically the same thing, but it is a waste because I wouldn't be using the other parts of the tablet aside from the display and touch.
OK, I must be missing something here...

I get that reading in an log or config file as an S-expression is kind of cool, in a "one ring to rule them all" sort of way, but... what's different between that and reading it in as a DOM or SAX tree?

Is the claim that Lisp's reader is somehow better than DOM or SAX? Easier to use? The resulting trees are easier to walk? Easier to use? What's the actual improvement from doing it the Lisp way?

It seems to me likely that Lisp can import a file into a tree easier (on the coder) than SAX can, but not significantly so. It's not one line versus dozens; more like one line versus a more complex line or maybe two lines.

No kidding.

I'll take a Markdown or plain-text README over a slick set of web pages if the former is current and thorough. Heck, I'd settle for either of those.
It was already high-time for upgrading my second-hand Core 2 Duo 1.8 GHz Mac mini from Snow Leopard to Linux. The hardware is still running strong, so there's no reason to hold it back in OSX-land...
Wonder if you'd be able to subtract a fee of your own from their amount, to cover your costs and time?

If so... that could make it worthwhile. :)
And I think far too many people are missing why Stallman should be, to use a popular term, cancelled.

Toxic people shouldn't have a voice because then all sorts of people will decide to not get involved in a community where such people can be leaders.

Trust me in this, I should know :(
You’ve clearly never called a cab pre-Uber, or you worked as a dispatcher.

Worse of all not only does the cab company often decide to not show up, if you cancel (such as calling another cab company that does show up or take a bus instead) you get yelled at and cursed to hell for letting them know you are canceling.

Everyone in the system is just an average joe, probably being paid less than they deserve. But the system was terrible and broken.
>The problem is that C# isn't a language intended for embedding, and you need a lot of effort to bind the two seamlessly.

I don't think that it's actually very hard to do it, I've done it easily for Java and I think I remember doing it for c# as well:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tutorials/netco...

It's honestly just a few lines of C code that you point at some c#/java method and run it. The truth is probably that people want to invent their own languages for their own reasons, e.g to have full control. Personally I've never understood that which is why I know so much about language interop now. Embedding is even easier for various scripting languages. I've also done interop for Dart. I don't like Lua but I've also looked at how easy it is for that. Imo there is no justification for game engines not having a C API so that everyone can code in whatever language they prefer.
Would love to contribute. Especially if it’s Javascript free. Any plans to open source?
No, but it is a chance for something better to replace it.
Even if you intend on not charging money or want to keep it available to low income or keep the barrier low, there's a reason that formal standards exist, and to forgo that knowledge because you ostensibly possess "above average intuition and earthy wisdom" seems hopelessly naïve to me.

I would highly advise that you at least be open to the option of undergoing some actual training.
I usually just block them from the credit card if there are too many hoops to cancel
The reason people ignore the Mac Pro is because it doesn't move the needle revenue/profit wise. At this point, all of Mac barely moves the needle. The Mac Pro is a tiny niche product that is cool and very much needed, just for a very small subset of people.

Being a Dutch man I already work less :).
Ontopic: I find the conclusion strange. 20 years ago a lot of women didn't work. Right now the percentage of working women is quite high. Some people will say it's because of our country getting more US like.

I like my work, but still if I don't have to be there 40+hours a week and make a decent living. You're not going to find me at the office.
Thanks for misrepresenting that. 52% is the highest tax bracket which most people won't hit. The brackets are 2.35%, 10.85%, 42% and 52%. The first two brackets also contain the Social Security payments - which the part-time workers definitely hit.

(Edit for completeness : effectively the tax brackets end up as 33, 41, 42, 52).
As the aphorism goes 'many a true word was said in jest' [must be from Shakespeare, surely?].
Maybe China are trying a new approach to censorship. Instead of blocking things themselves, perhaps they're trying to get sysadmins to block all of China. I imagine it would save them a lot of work.
That's not the point. Any kind of contractual obligation isn't exactly freedom.

The point is, that the comparison is still bad.
Quarantine is only accepted under he most dire circumstances. Hell, they didn't even quarantine people with AIDS and how many did that epidemic kill, millions?

It is the acceptance of corporate tyranny, that seems to becoming the norm in first world nations, which is truly alarming. Do people really understand what it would mean to have mandatory vaccinations? Not only would it not stop all cases of any of these diseases, but pharmaceutical companies would be falling over themselves to create more and more marginally effective vaccines to add to an already large list. And prices would go through the roof. Be careful not to make the prefect the enemy of the good.
Better metaprogramming, significant whitespace, generics, etc.
What about i2p,Tor?

Communism, dictators, some kings, like extreme religions wants to control the flow of information so the minds of the population doesn't catch dangerous memes like freedom movements.
No Article is appearing below the hero heading. (Bit ironic?)
For some people that would be a lot of effort, since the only value they can bring into relationships is their genitalia.
Good points, especially the case for readability, i.e. the need for either a good iconic representation or a short word. In our game setting, there has been so far a good iconic match with a short word (e.g. buildings that you build to the specified position), but I can see that this will be a big problem in a more abstract cases.

I don't see scrollable list-like context menus (as suggested in an another comment) very good either, it seems to work against the benefits of touch UI. Maybe I need to play with Android first to be convinced.

Now that I think, Photoshop-style 'temporarily' modal actions picked from toolbar could be actually a good pick for a multi-touch UI. In mouse-based systems, frequently switching between tools can be really cumbersome (without keyboard shortcuts), but in multitouch systems it could actually work quite well.
A Lisper will think Lisp is a feature and everything not Lisp is a bug, pretty much by definition.
Where's you public key?
As she said on stackexchange, she was forced to marry her husband, who is 15 years older than she is, by her family. So I'd guess it's not as simple as that.
I think this will work:

- "What's the purpose of your visit?"
- "I will be looking for a job in the U.S."
- "But you have a visitor's VISA here"
- "Oh.. mmm.. but I am coming here to work"
- "I am sorry this is not going to work out"
There have been some decent clinical trials showing a high does of fish oil (something like 1g a day) improves mood better than placebo in bipolar depresssives. There are some risks to taking really high doses of fish oil every day though - and not just mercury content.

Similar trials for just doing plenty of regular excersise such as walking show a better result. Given that excersise is really good for you, it's probably a better option.
The market participant who's able to collect, process and act on related sercurities' price discrepancies the fastest will always make money this way. Your example would simply raise the stakes- instead of continually slicing time into ever smaller intervals during which trading decisions can be made, there would be 8,640 global auction events, resulting in the exact same amount of arbitrage monies flowing into fewer hands.
What's it like going out in Palo Alto?
certainly not because they want to be seen on par with CIA or NSA :)
How is it less efficient? What knowledge is conveyed in 10 seconds?
I'm always curious how this 'make no effort and still get As' thing works. At what point does the information enter your head?

-before you ever cover it in class?

-when the teacher explains it once?

-when the teacher re-explains it?

-when you do your homework assignments?

-when you casually read over the notes just before the exam?

-when you read the exam questions and infer what they need to know?

I'm genuinely curious. I've always personally suspected that peoples biggest problem (me included) is not paying attention in class, or being unable to do so, or the teaching moving too fast for them. I figure if you're really attentive enough, revision wouldn't be so necessary. Watching advanced lecture courses on YouTube where I can rewind any confusing parts and refer to other sources if need be, has been a more efficient learning process for me.
A lot depends on your space and budget, but whether you're working with 400 sq. ft. and a $1000 budget, or your own building and a seven-figure budget, it usually helps to look through pictures for inspiration.

Just for example, I'm a big fan of the new 37signals office: http://37signals.com/svn/posts/2593-official-pictures-of-our...

I’ve worked in and designed several offices and regardless of the company size or budget, it’s important to get a few key things right:

1. Quality lighting - The more windows you can get, the better, and artificial lighting is just as important. Lighting is personal - some people like tons of light and others prefer to work in the dark. Make sure that you have some control over light variations and some adjustability in the different areas of the space (dimmers on lamps, curtains on windows, etc.)

2. A large table with plenty of seating - great for group projects, team lunches, company meetings, etc.

3. Comfortable seating - almost all companies skimp on seating. Considering a lot of people spend 10+ hours sitting down each day, $10 folding chairs are a joke. Quality seating doesn't have to be expensive, just comfy. Maybe provide each employee with $100-500 to choose his or her own chair. Great deals can be found at Ikea, Costco, or Craigslist.

4. Privacy - This doesn't necessarily mean individual offices or huge cubicles. Very few people want someone looking over their shoulder or eavesdropping on private conversations. Have enough space and spread people out so that they're not working on top of one another if at all possible.

5. Fun - It's different for every office, but fun stuff is important. A game room, a stocked fridge, a beer pong table, a TV, a gaming system, some board games, a pinball machine, a nap room, etc. Every company does it differently, but it's nice to have something that people can bond over and can provide a few minutes away from work.

6. Location - The location is important because if your employees have to commute two hours to get to your super awesome office, they’re still not going to be happy. Pick a location that provides an easy commute for as many people as possible and if the budget allows, choose a nice area. Walkability to restaurants and coffee shoppes is always good.
There's no known way to transfer information faster than the speed of light (and if there were, there are some relativistic tricks you can play to actually send information backwards in time).
So instead of validating input into a function, I should write a test, a factory and a bunch of other shit?

No thanks.
There's conflicting evidence on this issue. Once I set my battery profile by draining it completely then recharging it with the power off, my battery life has been just fine.

I left my phone on, unplugged, last night, drove to work listening to a podcast, and have been at work for about two hours and my phone still reads a full charge. Advanced Task Killer is showing 18 apps running in the background (power user here :) )

Also, if you read the EVO forums there are plenty of other people who are getting great battery life out of this powerful device.
Good think foreign investors are! I've seen quite a bit of interest recently actually from investors in the Middle East - a personal friend was searching for biotech funding for years and is days away from closing a major deal with a middle eastern fund (to start it in Canada). Couldn't get even a whiff from the stodgy Canadian VC industry.
Karamdeep,

I notice you're an Ivey grad - very cool, so am I. Next time you're in Toronto I'd love to chat - I write quite a bit on Canadian entrepreneurship. A notable example:

Yeah, I deal with so many different countries that it is a minefield using any other date format than RFC3339/ISO8601. I have been stung by having my birthday month and day inverted a few times when using DD/MM/YYYY format.
> Mr. Jang said that as time went on, the North began diverting high school students with the best math skills into a handful of top universities, including a military school specializing in computer-based warfare called Mirim University, which he attended as a young army officer.

I realize I'm not engaging the core topic being discussed, but stories like this are why I'm surprised people like Will Scott haven't gotten in trouble. (I don't want to single him out, but he's the best example I have at hand.) For the past two years, he's gone to North Korea to volunteer teaching computer science.[1][2] At best, his students' skills will be wasted on some silly Android apps praising the supreme leader. More likely, these students will go on to make software for less-than-ethical purposes: wargame simulation, nuclear explosion modeling, missile guidance systems, or network/server subversion.

I'm not saying this software shouldn't exist, just that the world would be better-off if the DPRK had more difficulty writing it. And I'm surprised the State Department hasn't fined or revoked the passport of any American who has aided the DPRK in this manner.

I'm also not aware of any BLM protester smashing through a barricade while there were a handful of armed guard on the other side repeatedly warning them to back off or they would be shot, but still jumping through despite the warnings [0].

During the protests, the police had no issue shoving people to the ground [1], but at the capitol it looked very different [2].

> In this case the shop is full of security cameras and they've been watched by members of both parties as well as third parties.

This is false. Republicans were routinely denied the right to watch vote counts. In some cases, they were forced to stand more than six feet away "because of COVID", and in other cases, they were sent away entirely.

> Once again if fraud had taken place there has been enough scrutiny to turn up more than a single dodgy mail man and a counting station in georgia where no one who knows how the counting process works has challenged the explanation given.

I gave you examples. There are more examples at the "Here is the Evidence" web page. I'll post it, but I predict that you'll either ignore it or, instead, google for other web pages that "debunk" it.

> Trump lost, he didn't like it and immediately denied he lost with zero evidence to the contrary.

Now you're making up a narrative that doesn't fit the facts.

You have attempted to effect an air of condescension multiple times in this conversation. If you truly believe that half the country is living under Trump's spell and needs to be freed, and you also believe that condescension is going to help win them over, then it is not your opponent who is in need of introspection.
The way that works with national building is always that they establish a perimeter outside the building and act with that perimeter as a base of operation or whatever is their name for that. A lot of national monuments, reserve areas, national parks, etc... have the same issue where they have their smaller police that never does anything and only patrols inside.

If there's evidence that you broke into a building anywhere in Washington, like, your face or outfit matching 100% the one of someone that was seen on national TV desecrating the building, the Metro police has cause to arrest you anywhere in Washington. There's so much precedent to this it's completely mind-blowing they didn't do anything. If it was so easy to get away with storming the Capitol we would already have a hippie commune in there. The Capitol Police is a joke.
Of the internet-only flavor, I only have experience with Axos, Azlo, and Brex... Huh, four letter banks.

Axos was super slow with set up such that half way through the process I applied to Azlo and got approved in a couple days and went with them instead. Bye.

Brex I used with my first startup beginning in 2018 (having migrated from SVB) and I loved it. There used to be a higher bar for getting an account but looks like they got rid of the $10K minimum. The rewards were pretty good and dunno if they still have it open bc pandemic but the Brex Oval Room (members only club) in South Park was a dope place to work and hang.

Based on prior experience, I'm leaning towards giving Brex a go again unless one of you can convince me otherwise.
Sharing WhatsApp numbers is quick an can be done with everyone. It doesn't require your real name and doesn't share your list of friends by default.

It means I can freely share my WhatsApp number with my bank, my boss, the delivery person, the plumber, the clerk from the nearby cafeteria, clients, the driver of the tow truck, or my teachers, anyone.

But there is no way I'll share my Facebook or Intagram name/id with themn. That's more private and usually only done for friends or acquaintances.
I love it reminds of hurl.it - pretty sure it’s not online anymore due to abuse, but very handy.
I struggled with money for a long time before a bunch of “tricks” helped get my life in order. There are a lot of things that affect this in psych literature, including growing up poor and several mental disorders. Congrats that your particular circumstances never made this an issue for you.

Bragging about your lack of empathy doesn’t make you a badass, it just makes you sound like a dick.
Someone made a replication of the github and it can be found here: https://github.com/lucidrains/DALLE-pytorch
This is doable, but still a bit of a pain:

I pay using different accounts (bank accounts or credit cards). Groceries, in particular, I pay with both checks and cards. Admittedly, this is still a problem with many envelope budgeting SW, but they usually have ways to mitigate this.

The other problem: Say I have two checking accounts A and B, and I pay for groceries with A and car expenses with B. One month I overspend car stuff and my envelope for B is in the negative, and I don't have enough emergency reserve. I take money out of my grocery envelope under A to bring the car envelope in B back to 0.

Now if I did this in GnuCash, it will show a wrong balance in one of my checking accounts (unless I physically transferred money between the two accounts).

Your setup will work if you tend to spend everything from one account. I am curious, though: If you do it this way, doesn't it make reconciling a bit of a pain? Let me explain:

When I go to do groceries, I usually have multiple categories I am purchasing (example below):

1. Groceries = $60

2. Supplies = $30

3. Miscellaneous (catch-all) = $10

I pay with a check of $100. How do you represent this in GnuCash? Will you list 3 separate transactions coming out of each virtual subaccount? If so, do you then not reconcile with your bank statement? Or does GnuCash let you mark it all as one transaction under Checking to make reconciliation easy?

Ledger CLI has good support for "true" virtual accounts, so that the "real" accounts show the real world transactions (it will show up as one transaction from Checking to the Grocery Store), while simultaneously letting you split this into the 3 virtual budget accounts.
I doubt Mossberg is the type to be swayed by what News Corp's top people think, but I agree that printing a disclosure would have helped a bit.

We live in a time where a book being removed from curriculum (not even "banned" outright) at some random Seattle high school is a story we're all here talking about.

That's not bad. Could be a whole lot worse.
Verisign. They are probably the most expensive CA available, but they are absolutely worth it if you ever intend to provide secure user sessions to the proverbial Aunt Millie.

Their identification verification process is fully automated now( phone + web ), so most certificates are issued within a few hours of CSR submission.
Well noone will beat Yahoo's effectively $5.7 billion domain purchase of broadcast.com.

It's just a matter of if the number of running days you sacrifice by spending this money and the lost other opportunities you could spend the money on (e.g. PR, design, a new dev) are outweighed by the likelihood of the new domain bringing you income.
More people interested in contributing to bring it back up to date.
If we're looking at "entrepreneurs" as a source of growth, then yes, startups are what we're looking for.

If you don't start that pizza business, I'll buy my pizza somewhere else.

Startups create new markets through innovation. A Facebook-like is like the pizza business. Facebook (or its ancestors) was the market creator.

Uber has similarities with the pizza business, but it's all about transforming a business (taxi service) into something else. So it's between pizzas and Facebook.

So I guess there are various levels of disruption or creation of the market.
But the pizza business is probably at level 0 of disruption/creation.

Think of Starbucks vs. your coffee shop...
> But bitcoin is more of an asset than a currency, so speaking of it in terms of inflation / deflation leads to oddities, like this.

Assets inflate and deflate. It’s not an oddity.
