> The author spends time disassembling CL code into assembly, replicating C's pointer arithmetic in lisp, jumping hurdles with macros, implementing a forth in CL, and in general, performing many other common lisp stunts which "blub" languages inefficiently handle.

Let Over Lambda is a great counter-example to the "Lisp is a very high-level language" myth, and IMO should be viewed and read as the successor to pg's On Lisp. The techniques and style of the code in LoL are a great example of what modern Common Lisp code looks like. It's a huge change from the Common Lisp code you read from the 1980s and 90s, and really different from code you see in any other language other than Racket and Scheme. The reader-macro/macro/closure DSL style of programming has just started to emerge over the last 15 years and I am excited about what other techniques come out of this style of coding.

I was waiting for half an hour thinking that image will change and tell me something more. Then I figured out that I can scroll down. Stupid me.

Then it occurred to me that we do the same thing on our home page: we have animation which makes people (stupid like me) wait a little thinking that we will tell them more info - even that info is available only if you scroll down. Stupid me x 2.
Not directly via AD. But you can add it to the certificate database in the template Firefox profile.
Somebody get some smelling salts & move the lady to that fainting couch. Poor dear just got out of finishing school only to discover that the world isn't entirely made of taffeta dresses and lace doilies. That bad man was brusque, profane, and made reference to Cthulu!

I'll give you this, though: "stumbling upon hate speech" is an innovative way to Godwin a thread.
For people who want an accurate representation of the number of people visiting their sites and the marketeers who would very much like correct data too?
Definitely release it. The only way you're guaranteed to fail is by not doing anything at all.
I drink coffee because it's correlated with a 70% lower chance of cirrhosis of the liver, and I'm pretty sure liquor doesn't have a placebo effect.
Yes release, but I think you should spend some time and learn how to make a PowerPoint pitch deck. Then spend some more time and make one.
You're kidding! Just watch Cops. On camera, policemen get macho, brutal and generally act out for the audience. This is NOT better behavior.
I did some research on this, expecting to find a breaker labeled "CVR" on the diagram of 777 cockpit circuit breakers. Instead I found this: "the practicalities of isolating the power from the CVR fitted to the B777 are not

"better and more self-sufficient" - the issue is whether it is the best use of your time. Learning to code is about having control over your business for a start-up; the issue here touches less on existential necessity, I think.
When you think of it, the human spirit is a combination in the human brain. That is, you can create a human inside a computer. You'll just need powerful and may be crazy processing power. Now if we figure out a way to read the human brain configuration and data, and then transfer it to another body (the same body as the person) that you constructed it biologically, you can make the same person alive again.

I'm dedicating my whole life in an attempt to live again.
I fully trust that I will bump into things, ideas and people relevant to my life without explicitly sorting through nearly everything or filtering out the crap.

I've found that it works well. It also converges: by not filtering out crap I'm not in contact with crap and I see very little if any crap in my life. And whenever I find a new thing, most of the time it truly is something wonderful and comes up pretty much at the right moment when I'm most receptive to it.

I would feel very anxious if I kept thinking and worrying myself about what I might be missing.
You could take a lesson from the Mozilla Foundation about isolating phones in Faraday Cages:

http://oduinn.com/blog/2010/02/11/unveiling-mozillas-faraday...

Or you could stick it in a microwave. (I've used this to test if my home 'repaired' microwave is leaking radiation. Stick your phone in it and close the door. Call it. If it rings, chuck your microwave out :-) If it doesn't, well, I wouldn't stake my life on it not leaking and I'd still get it tested professionally.

Only problem with this microwave trick is that it's hard to push the buttons once the door is closed! You can use it to test your microwave, but not your phone unless your app doesn't need any interaction. Also, an app that encrypts on loss of signal would be of limited use where I live in NZ. The Vodafone network drops in and out so often you'd flatten the battery on the phone real fast with all that encryption action.
I had a star named after me once.
In a way, none of this mattered at the end of the day anyway. If one leaves aside the sui generis and complicated story of Apple, PCs became a commodity business in any case. It wasn't a sustainable business for any of the large companies that also wanted to fund research labs and otherwise invest in new technology areas.

This is still possible using JavaScript, and yet it is not widely seen.

You can think of WebAssembly as another mechanism for executing code in the browser in the context of a web page. JavaScript is still required to (1) load the wasm binary, (2) evaluate it and (3) connect it to DOM APIs or really anything outside of the isolated wasm execution context.
There was a flurry of videos about this not so long ago, trying to build some vaguely new cold war narrative about how this extended NZs territorial waters and had Geo political significance.
I just want to know if we ever fully sunk or not, and if so where the fresh water fish came from.
I really wish VW was offering the ID.3 in the US. That's the form factor I really want in an electric right now, and more likely to be the next Beetle.
Check out the read me tab. You have to enclose your math in backquotes or \(...\) and then go to the preview tab to see the math.

If that doesn’t work, you may have JavaScript blocked?
I pay real money to have artists endorse my association with digital artworks they have created on my behalf. For all intents and purposes, these are not works for hire - The artist retains the rights, I have just sponsored their creation. Doing so post-facto isn't insane, either. The artist gets paid, I get warm fuzzies.

The blockchain is nice in that it takes control of that endorsement out of the artist's hands, so they can't "take it back" and stop supporting that endorsement. I'm certain that has happened to people. I'm also certain that this cure is worse than the disease.
USD is backed by being valid for the redemption of outstanding USD denominated invoices, loan repayments and tax bills, all of which ensures demand to possess the currency and are likely to continue to exist in increasing quantities in future.

"Escaping" that for something which literally is backed by nothing at all is a strange move.
Because Tether's utility is as a legislatively advantageous on- and off-ramp for the whole crypto market.

Off-ramp: If people want to sell BTC or other volatile tokens because they want to realize profits, the obvious thing would be to sell for fiat (USD/EUR). But due to taxation and legislation this is often difficult. Stablecoins like Tether provide the utility of a low-volatility currency that fiat would fill. Main advantage is bypassing legislation.

This use is so common there is jargon for "Tethering up".

There also exist many debit cards that allow paying with stablecoins, increasing utility. The rise of DeFi and money markets for stablecoins also provides a good return on stablecoins while in theory being low-volatility.

On-ramp: If people want to buy a certain token they first go into Tether. This is usually for bypassing local legislation limiting the buying of a specific token or use of exchanges. This use is less common, I would wager.

Because of this wide-spread use of Tether, it's collapse would cause a liquidity crisis: people want to but cannot sell their Tethers for other tokens/fiat. Tether goes down from it's 1USD peg, triggering a run on Tether as people try to swap it as much as they can for anything else, driving down the price further. Meanwhile noone is willing to buy Tether. The theory proposed by OP, is that panic in the already volatile crypto market ensues, people exit for fiat where they can driving down prices everywhere. Trust in the whole market will be obliterated.

Personally, I haven't trusted Tether since the first BitFinex scandals and avoided like the plague. For my stablecoin needs, I use something that is audited and over-collateralized like DAIv2.
Can't replicate in Firefox on Mac, but going to take a look later on linux.
Because way more exchanges offer USDT trading. USDC / DAI are both fairly new, and aren't offered as trading pairs nearly as frequently.
> The author raises an interesting point: how to overcome the hundreds of millions of dollars that back these false depictions, so that truth can have its fair chance of being heard and known?

I think that blogs like this, readable books about history written by historians of the period (as opposed to pop-sci-writers) are the real answer. Generally raising expectations on what adults say and write by arguing against ahistorical nonsense where possible.

I don't think it would be reasonable to force all the kids to learn details of past warfare or sustenance system. I did enjoyed the blogs a lot, but I am 100% sure I would not cared as 12 years old or 16 years old. Plus, there are more important things to learn about history, imo.

This being blog by someone who understands history about popular series confronting them with reality.

Well if you disable all the filters of Ublock and add your block list to the "My filters" tab that should do what you want :)
Not really. The usual guidelines are "have a portfolio of some sort" - IOW, something you can use to demonstrate what you know instead of just leaning on a sad list of keywords. That can be a nice SO profile, but could also be a solid open source project or well-written blog.

If you do plan on showing off your SO profile, don't get hung up on rep - well-written answers that demonstrate mastery of a subject are a lot more useful than an arbitrary number.

Sarcasm is lost on the internet.
Not really, the builder made more money because they took on more risk: they bought land speculatively, they took on a massive loan, built a house on speculation that someone will want it. Lumber took on much less risk to chop a few trees and sell a commodity that has a defined market value. Better analogy is the lumber who took on debt and grew into a massive organization that buys land, processes trees into lumber and sells wholesale. This is more of what a home builder is and there are plenty of very large, rich timber companies.
It isn't about concealing the information, it is about concealing the ultimate origin of the request. If you have an SSL session without going through a VPN or other proxy there is a direct relationship between you (the originator of the request) and the server (providing or receiving the possibly encrypted information).

Had contact with a couple of interesting people, startups, companies via SO Careers. I think, it's one of the top job hubs currently, if you are in the software business.
It's not about liking, it's about looking at a piece of code and going and going "I understand all that" vs "What does all these signs and single-letter variables mean?". Naming matters.
I gave an example of two individuals who were unequal--"Person A" and "Martian A". As best as I can tell, there is no problem with there being inequality between these two individuals.
Literally hours ago I was looking through Google Maps documentation for a way to plot a route with waypoints that I needed in a specific order (I'm plotting shipment updates in the order they occur, which may not be in the most efficient path order). I saw that there is a flag to optimize waypoints, which Google described as an implementation of the traveling salesman problem. A few hours later I just happened to see this article on HN. This seems to happen to me on HN too often to be coincidence. Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon?
“It’s been acknowledged all of these years. I don’t think there is any other craft or union in which practitioners need to practice their art." - Ed Asner, in the article posted.

Am I misreading this, or does he really think that other tradespeople don't need to practice?
Wow, I've been trying to make a Settlers of Catan game for fun and the thing I struggle most with is the board algorithms. This a fantastic resource to help with that, thanks.
The death penalty was abolished in Spain after the end of the Franco dictatorship in the 1970s.

That, in combination with the universal prohibition of ex post facto legislation, leads to the conclusion that any future where people in Spain are executed for this is a future where a lot more went wrong than just these attacks.

Thing is, they do, but not in the ways you would expect. Cadavers on medical schools. Wind tunnel modeling. Computer-aided designs. The main difference to those is that the software industry can indulge on testing its own assets with little to no cost, and especially if that does not impact your ability to generate revenue.
Being angry at a particular person and wanting to get them killed is really bad but it's something a lot of people are capable of. Getting a bunch of random people killed to make a quick buck is different.

He is definitely the widest-read crypto dev. There can be no question of that.
Customers would riot.
Sometimes I wonder if the sinister government backlash against WikiLeaks isn't part of an even more devious and sinister plan to draw the news media's attention to the leaked information. That has certainly been its effect.
I walked the same route as you about 8 years ago. I picked up programming out of necessity, but I always had an interest. It seemed that I couldn't get traction unless I showed people some tangible example. This was the catalyst...

Today I'm a full stack programmer, graphic designer and business guy. These traits give me a major advantage where I can build out web services, mobile and voice applications. With my finance background I can also structure financial contracts, etc. I often act as CTO for startups taking a significant position in the early stage.

I say this to encourage you to keep walking the path. You will gain a major competitive advantage, especially without a CS degree.

One caveat: with your growing capabilities comes more opportunities. These opportunities can distract you. Stay focused on execution. Just my two cents.
> Did I miss anything?

No. There's regulation and there's regulation. Net neutrality is the concept that network providers should not privilege some kinds of content over others - i.e. that all packets are created equal.
Nope, you did not miss anything. There is not a single argument in the whole piece. But hey, what do you expect from a Republican?

Hey, just got down voted by a Republican. That's a special honor. Keep it coming.
I use an "instantly disposable address" — see http://goo.gl/Dmhyd — when the trust is second tier (of three who get an address).
> Harder Better Faster Stronger

I really don't want to sound dismissive or pretentious; but thats the kind of thinking I used to have when I was a teenager. When you reach a certain age (or perhaps also gather a good amount of life experience) you soon realize what a naive way of thinking it is.

Of course everyone has their own philosophy in life. As an Active Nihilist, being "Harder Better Faster Stronger" is not important to me. Having the knowledge and knowing that "if I wanted to I could" is good enough for me.

>What good is knowing the best way to do something if you don't actively apply the knowledge?

There is no inherent "meaning", "point" or "good" in anything you do. You give your actions and choices a meaning. You chose to be "Harder Better Faster Stronger" because for some reason you find meaning in that. To me thats meaningless endeavor.

To me there is no "meaning" in reading books and gaining knowledge. I do it for the pleasure of it.

Wow... that's one of the least gracious apologies I've ever seen. 1150 words, of which around 100 is the apology (including the choice phrase "I think I did a nice job for you") and the rest of it is excuses and blame shifting.

I supposedly have one, but if you make a higher offer I will have to inform him of the bad news.

Here's my craigslist ad:

The winning offer is lower than the $550 price, though I'd certainly accept that amount for it.
Changing the plans so that people get charged for data over 2GB will certainly curb unlimited usage. It's the basics of economics.

Especially when you pay $25 per GB, and it costs an extra $10 per GB. People will probably stop streaming Pandora over the cell network, and heavily watching movies.

Canada has had data limits the entire time, and Blackberry has been constantly cautioning US providers about offering unlimited data plans in the name of providing better service to their customers.

This kind of limitation for regular ISPs is ridiculous, because the cost of bandwidth is actually cheap, but it's different and much more expensive with cell phone networks.
There is more to job creation than building the next Twitter. Twitter doesn't work on a schedule. Sri Ganesh's Dosa House and Can't Flush We Rush Plumbers do. The economy can survive without twitter, but without flushing toilets we will quickly find ourselves living in the dark ages.

As for people who lose money to carried interest, yes, some will go back to work at a the same bank they quit from (same pay, better security). Others will just raise management fees, resulting in a net loss of investment. More importantly, there will be a major loss of diversity in investments; as Cuban notes, the guy earning $30mm/year won't be dissuaded from investment, only the guy earning $500k (who could make a similar salary at a bank). This means a smaller amount of the investment strategy search space is explored, and we have fewer Michael Burry's. Is that a good thing?
"Or wait a few months for a better android phone."

"Underoop does not support inheritance. Inheritance breaks miserably under AJAX requests without a lot of ugly hacks. After many years of OOP I’ve come to the conclusion that inheritance is a bug. Clojurians and Haskellers agree. Use Modules."

It would be interesting to see a smalltalk w/o inheritance that utilized composition instead (does this already exist?) which accomplishes everything the current object hierarchy does.

By using SPs you more or less double the effort to port your application away from whatever database you are using.

Better to use an ORM.
Fair enough. If you have ideas (re: features you want/don't want that we don't currently offer) we'd certainly like to hear them.

For what it's worth we do have an API to access/export your comments if you ever want to leave. I used DISQUS personally before I joined the company because I didn't want to implement login/avatars/sharing/notifications for what amounts to a pretty small blog, but ymmv.
