Thanks! I thought perhaps the numbers were so low for those languages that they didn't merit inclusion, but that seems not to be the case (certainly not for Lisp).
Thanks! Should be implemented within few hours.
Funny, as a lifelong Android user I switched to an iPhone in 2020. Feels weird to be so directly part of a statistic like this I guess.
That's indeed correct and was exactly what I meant with

> I haven’t covered edge cases

So, thanks for your suggested solution! I think that's how I would implement it as well.

The receiver looks for two windows and the sender broadcasts new entries when 5min are over.
Using your first and middle name is not anonymous by any stretch of the imagination.
In substance: easily make a DSL targeted specifically at your problem.

This proposition is often criticized by software engineers for resulting in code that is potentially inscrutable to anyone but the writer. IMO, this misses the forest for the tree. Sure, one-off DSLs probably aren't suited to entreprise codebases you'd use Java for. But what the critics miss is that this truly enables domain experts. In that way, it's a bit like the MS Excel value proposition cast into a (very well-designed) programming language. Which makes it ideal for solo devs, scientists, small teams, etc. (as most lisps). That's what makes Racket interesting to me, at least.
Polyamory and CNM are essentially urbanite rebrandings of very ancient customs that are still practiced in various parts of the world. The rebranding is there to create a sense of sophistication and mental flexibility, when in truth it's simply a factor of specific personality types engaging in something not only natural to them but widespread across time and place. Most people in open relationships across history did not pause to reflect on the rational aspect of what they were doing or how it reflected on their open-mindedness, and just went for it. If having open relationships were more mainstream in the West, I doubt that rationalists would write so much about it or value it so much as a part of their identity since there would not be the draw of demonstrating your uniqueness.
Its just part of negotiation, The reason I will accept lower pay is to entice you to continue using my service, rather than replacing me with other people.

Its not about the location, employer should always try maximize profit, if they can get the same service with lower expense, they should.
Isn't that even more of a warning against the danger? Even the best case for the erosion of our liberties I could come up with was less popular than the current support for removing basic rights?
Agreed, I lived in Trikala and Athens for close to a year and never heard of this "pick your own fish" option. In fact, I was surprised by how unpopular fish seemed to be. In Thessaloniki all we ate were gyros and pizzas (poor students), the restaurant owner who served us in Nafpaktos was proud to call his town "the meat capital" of the country, on a trip to Delphi and Olympia we just had the typical meat and roasted vegetable/salad shared meal, and in Crete my friends told me the best thing was rabbit stew. Either way, we had only meat in both Heraklion and Chania. In Rhodes we were told by a souvenir seller that they ate "everything", but that octopus was the best... until they all got eaten. The deer were also good, but those got eaten as well... so gyros for us there too.

The two seafood meals I do remember were at the base of Poseidon's temple in Sounion (a small, pretty dodgy Russian café at which we ate because it was the only thing there and the bus wasn't coming back for another hour), and traveling in downtown Corfu in the middle of their deadest season and being offered some pink fish the size of a shoe for €50. We ended up getting some fresh prawns and pizzas for much, much cheaper. The marble and roses and Venetian influence were well worth the rip-off attempt though.

I'm not saying no one eats fish there, just I had ample time to see it if it were the case and, well, nope. Very surprising for a peninsula, but then I just figured they were overfished. What I did learn though is that my absolute favourite Greek food is their simple salad. You can literally taste the sun.

> We send it in 2 parts: first comes GET / HTTP/1.0 \n Host: www.you and second sends as tube.com

How does this even work? "www.you" won't return a valid HTTP response and "tube.com" won't either. How can you fetch the content at "youtube.com" but splitting the domain name in half? Won't you get two completely wrong responses that don't fit together?
How do you know those artists and theaters are better than the restaurants and condos? Dollars reveal true preferences, and it appears that people don't actually prefer artists, theaters, and dancers like you'd prefer. Who are you to override the preferences of the public?
Do not forget SICStus, it´s jitter is truly excellent.
Happening again for the nth time this month... another -10% tomorrow is likely.

It is getting harder and harder for me to stay in the market, I don’t think the investors have fully realized how crazy it is going to be, and the more it starts hitting home, the more they “price in” the situation by selling and causing another 10% drop every time, even if the growth curve has been predicted for weeks this would happen exactly the way it’s happening...

I am down 30% and I have everything in the stock market, expect 2 years of living expenses. This sucks so bad it’s painful.
> It doesn't prevent the coming collapse of the prosperity we have enjoyed these last 100 years

lots of people are tweeting that they are 3-4 weeks from disaster. that's some very special definintion of prosperity. These are numbers that come to mind when you think about middle age peasant.
Did it use double hires graphics? That was even harder to do correctly. Half the graphics memory was in the first 64K of memory ($2000-$4000) and the other half was stored in the second bank switched 64K of memory.
What filter would be needed to make this into an N95 replacement instead? Seems like the full face mask would make this even more effective as it also protects the eyes.
I see, perhaps you can then you can:

- Spread information about hygiene, CDC recommendations on how to prevent spread of Coronavirus and reiterate/ephasize the importance of washing hands/cleaning public spaces.

- Donate money to medical research, who knows, some of these home remedies may be useful. But not without getting the research done first.

You don't see the danger of providing medical advise to others? I've been wrong many times of something that I thought was intuitive to me but ultimately there was a "oh..." moment when I saw experimental results or some concrete evidence.

There is also a network effect - you say X to person Y. Person Y tells X to 10 other friends who then tell 1000 other people. The misinformation that started from you could potentially affect a lot of people and then you start having deep thoughts such as - I tested X on myself and it worked. But now 100,000 people are doing it - is it safe?

This is why you should stop from providing medical advice to others. I am saying this with respect to you and your earnest intentions from heart.
Like the other poster says, it has gotten vastly more consistent, but that consistency depends on the software author or vendor keeping up to date. As you drill down into the depths of niche or technical software (aka "the good stuff"), there are more surprises in store.
Oof, comparing himself to Beethoven and Shakespeare (both fairly successful because people wanted to and continue to want to experience the products of their artistic abilities) while dismissing that nobody wants to play his game because it isn't "fun" is the biggest mental disconnect I've ever seen.
Yes, I have seen a lot of US cities that used rent control to do nothing except reduce accountability. You can build a decently functional housing market without rent control. But with rent control you don't need to build a functional housing market so the suffering continues.
Certainly not on a per gram basis...
I'm 45, divorced and am not really that keen to meet people on Tinder/FB Dating etc. Recently I've really enjoyed meeting people through a walking group on FB, there is something happening most weekends when I'm not with my children and it's really reassuring that there are a bunch of people I can meet up with if I have nothing else on, friendships are developing there. Not saying I'm done with relationships, but they aren't a priority.

What is it getting you down, do you have hobbies and aspirations, however small? When I got divorced I made a list of small victories and over a about a year I was able to achieve many of them. Do you have friends you can talk to?
Link in article is from 2006... I'm assuming things have improved since then...
You know how it's absolutely incontroversial to point out that not everyone is cut out for grad school, or doctoral programs? I wonder why saying the same about college is a big deal.
As a student in college, this story is alarming to me.

At my University, it is common for...
1. Departments to post up old exams for students to practice.
2. Professors recommend that you track down older students for their old tests.
3. Students often create practice exams and hand them out to their peers.

I do not believe that all 200 students are guilty of cheating but perhaps the initial few who had their hands on the practice exam knew exactly what they were getting into.
Because this isn't science.
What's your blog's address?
that's the origin, but not exactly what the contemporary computer meaning is (which is more like "crowd-sourced")
What's the topic that just doesn't leave you alone?

For me it's an interest in animal consciousness and communication, even though I am a physicist by training.
So who deserves the blame?
This man shed his attachment to his body way before old age. He saw the event basis that QM tells us is reality, for what it was worth. Absolute unit.
Their customers do, though, and that's the whole point. Without giving people a short, reasonable time to patch, you're part of the problem, not part of the solution. For what it's worth, you are also coming across as something of a zealot, rather than a reasonable person who sees the world in shades of grey.
If you take deep stacks upon yourself, and then hate it, yes, that's a ridiculous career path. Personally, I took iOS development. The tech stack is actually quite shallow. And there's regularly new things to learn. Programming as a career brought me intense joy and wanting to go working.

> There is consensus that RT is an unreliable source, publishes false or fabricated information, and should be deprecated along the lines of the Daily Mail. Many editors describe RT as a mouthpiece of the Russian government that engages in propaganda and disinformation.

I'm not saying that this is untrue or that RT is a reliable source, but I can't actually recall or find a specific example of false or fabricated information published by RT. Does anyone have a good example?
That was my point, and why I questioned arethuza on his emphasis on anyone, I was curious what he meant.
I really liked the site, in general. I could see using this when traveling with my family to find places to stay once there are more listings available.

Some thoughts as I browsed the site:

* Everything was slow. The "About" page was the worst but the listings themselves took 5-10 seconds to load. Later, I waited 30 seconds for the search page to pop up. (I was searching for a town that had no listings from the front page.)

* The search form cleared the location when I navigated "back" to it from a listing. It'd be good to allow for searching, click a listing, back, click another listing, ...

* If I'm looking at renting a house are there restrictions on the times/dates? If so, I didn't see that indicated on any of the listings. Do I get the whole house or am I sharing it with the owners?

* I found the wording for some things a little strange:

"This place does not welcome pets :(" Seems negative for some reason. How about, "No pets, please."?

"We don't have security mechanisms as 24-hour security, fire alarms, safe deposits, etc." I wasn't sure how to parse that the first time I read it. I'd suggest keeping it simple - "Not available"?

"Invite to Submit Offer" Gives the impression of a lot of steps. "Request a quote" seems more familiar.

* The lack of prices on most of the listings was surprising. What does "Upscale" translate to? If I have to interact with the owner I don't want to waste my time or theirs. Perhaps a price range would help.
As someone who is "finally" starting to find success in my early 30's, this is something I think of a lot.

Think of all of the famous people you know of, who are doing great work right now. Now look at how old some of them are.

Steve Carrell is 48 years old. Jon Stewart is 48. Louis C.K. is 44.

All of them are great at what they do, but how old were they when they finally reached the top of their professions? Sure, you can think of small gigs they had in the decades before, but just think of how long they had to work at what they did to get where they are. I always wonder how often they came close to quitting. (I remember hearing an interesting story about this from Louis C.K., but I don't remember the details)

To do great creative work, you not only have to love it enough to work that hard at it, yes, you have to have incredible taste to always be finding that one little thing that you can improve - for decades and decades.
Thanks! If anyone could tell us how to make clickable links in ask-HN-style posts, we'd be eternally grateful :-)
Do you want a literal answer to that question?

Of course if we're talking "getting stabbed" then it's probably more likely to happen on your way home rather than in your office, so I don't think it's worth worrying too much about.
This is a really brilliant idea. I wonder, though, what you would do if you found photos taken with your camera? Is there really any action you can take?
Interesting. Much of the "research" on this is armchair theorizing, the only paper I was able to find (easily) was this: https://segue.southwestern.edu/userfiles/PSY3320301-f06/male.... It states

"Perhaps most importantly, our results suggest that "Male Answer Syndrome" might be more appropriately referred to as "Masculine Answer Syndrome," as gender-role appears to be a stronger predictor of the behavior than does biological sex."

Many comments can be on the procedure followed on this paper. For example, the question they use, "Why is the sky blue", is scientific. It may be just that men (in general) are more interested in such scientific questions than women. They should have used either neutral questions, or some other female-biased ones. They should have calibrated scientific aptitude for their subjects.
So is the lesson simply to prototype on paper/other mockup tool before coding?

Even in high school comp sci our teacher drilled this into us. We even wrote 100% of our coding tests on paper, no computers allowed. As a result, I still mock not just screens and flow between them on paper, but also data structures, logic, etc as well. Immensely helpful. And I keep going back to paper for revisions and exploring/testing changes/ideas as well. It's easy to show someone a paper mockup and easy enough to get them to "test" it too.
Imagine your friends going to Ireland, ordering a pint of Guinness and then asking for a straw. That's your vodka tonics :)
<<So it is becoming more important to know what other programs you can use as building blocks and how to stick them together, and less important to know how to build basic "plumbing" yourself.>>

The sad truth :'(
At low volume, PayPal Payments Pro is as good as anything I've found, and it is cheaper than almost every other merchant services provider (especially by the time you factor in the gateway fees). But, it's definitely not cheap. I ache every time I see how much of our revenue is going to PayPal, even if it's better than the prior provider we were using. Our prior merchant services provider had cranked up rates gradually from the time we signed up, and always found reasons to charge us the highest tier of pricing (higher risk transactions got the higher rate, and it seemed like 90% of our orders qualified as "high risk" according to their metrics, even though at the time we were only dealing with about one chargeback per month). When we signed up a few years ago it was dramatically cheaper than PayPal, but by the time we switched it was almost a couple of points more expensive.

But PayPal is also not particularly great. The UI is agonizingly slow (I can only imagine how painful it would be to use if we were doing thousands or millions of transactions per month instead of hundreds). Their response time on payment processing is also slow...slow enough to confuse our shop sometimes.

The good things about PayPal are its better fraud management tools (which you have to pay extra for), its pervasive support in shopping carts (though Payments Pro is a little more rare), and its really comprehensive online interface. I used to have to send faxes for everything with the old processor, which was just ridiculous. I can do anything online with PayPal.

I also love that PayPal does everything. I hated never even knowing who to call when we had problems with the old service. There were three web interfaces for three different companies (Authorize.net, merchant services bank, and some sort of reporting service that I never could figure out) that did god knows what, and we were being billed by all of them. All of them had different points of contact and different procedures for dealing with issues (and issues pretty much never got dealt with), and I never, in years of dealing with them, figured out who was responsible for what. PayPal is the gateway, the merchant services provider, and everything else. When I'm confused about something, or need to issue a refund or whatever, I login to one place and all the data is there.

I also haven't been able to figure out how to use recurring payments at PayPal. But, that's probably a failing on my part. I'm kinda dumb sometimes, when accounting and money and such comes up.

But, I definitely don't think PayPal is the last word in payment processing. If there were something better, faster, or cheaper, I'd happily switch (any one of those three things would do it, assuming it's equal on the others).

It's a really hard market to tackle, since so much of it is regulatory compliance (both private and government regulations) and interacting with really old-fashioned industries (banks modernized about 30 years ago, and seemingly decided that was a one-time expense that they never needed to do again).
I'm pretty sure SQLite's got it beat by far.
SocialGold handles payments for a wide variety of international currencies and payment systems.
It's also widely used for issue tracking I bet. I almost said bug tracking, but those tracking bugs are it inclined enough to get away from spreadsheets.
Can we get some more information? What are they doing better? What kind of fee structure are they selling?

Also, one big concern in my startup is chargebacks. Does this service help me with chargeback protection at all?

More generally: how will they make my life better?
Do you need a merchant account?

Do you need an authorize.net or similar account?

Do they handle subscriptions?

What are their rates like?

When do they expect to be available outside the US?
I can't even read this without zooming out at least three times.
I enjoy NYT and New Yorker.
Interesting, however I doubt this community had any mechanism to actually ban the game, other than just saying they disapprove. Kind of like the "banned books" we all read in high school.
What's going on with the link "wikipedia.org/wiki/EPUB#:~:text=EPUB%20is%20an%20e%2Dbook,smartphones%2C%20tablets%2C%20and%20computers."? There doesn't seem to be any ID in the page with that fragment.
>That's kind of the point of YT though is to completely bypass the network curation.

Instead we have algoautoplay.

I'm describing opt in playlist producers. Why couldn't there be a level of "playlist curators" who exist not as channels. "Bob puts together really good playlists, whitelist all Bob approved videos." I subscribe to 10 curators and bobs my uncle. I want to follow bob for the videos he suggests not the ones he makes.

The idea of a channel curating itself is the anthesis of someone picking the best from many channels. Pop radio run by Taylor Swift would turn into her playing her album on repeat? How is that more useful than the album itself.

The evolution of the MTV VJ. It could even have an audio reaction track layered over the top of the playlist that can be toggled on off. They could add intro/outro commentary.
Not really, no. It might be too brief to cause a chemical reaction, but powerful enough to induce a very high voltage.

Modern camera firmware detects stuck and dead pixels and tries to fill them in with neighbor data., but when there's too many... there's not enough data to fill in.

Fortunately there are still millions of different websites and thousands of web hosts.

Being banned from the big and popular ones in the top 20 is at the moment only an inconvenience.
I really wish batteries were a standardized, removable part. People could join a coop type thing where they drive up, swap in a fully charged battery, leave the old on a charger, and go.

The problem is these battery packs tens of thousands of dollars (I think, given costs per kWh) and aren’t standardized. Seems like something the auto companies should be open to standardizing. They’ve done the same with oil - because they had to accommodate the fuel literally burning away.

Edit-I get that they’re heavy, but that can be standardized away, too.
Agreed. I run into Ned every 3-4 years, he always remembers me, and he's super nice and helpful.
Good suggestion! At the moment, there are 3 ways to add links to Itemsy:

(1) publish links via web app

(2) add to personal #myitems channel via

- Chrome/Firefox extension (see itemsy.com)
- email to my@itemsy.com

Which one sounds best to you at the moment?
So it looks like you're one of those people who've been fooled.

Look at any communist country and note that the worker ends up with fewer rights and an order of magnitude poorer. The reason is simple and fundamental, if you remove personal incentives for innovating and producing useful things, you get a much less efficient system and smaller economic pie. Everyone is poorer.

The collapse of the Soviet Union is neither here nor there, it's not the point.
I've done a lot of reading on this, from neil postman, to nicholas carr, sherry turkle, jaron lanier, tim wu, to plato's allegory of the cave. We've been worried about these issues for eternity. As a consumer of information, how do you tell what is real and what isnt? As a publisher, what role do you have to tell people what is real and what isnt? As a content provider, how do you separate the wheat from the chaff?

As a software developer myself I'm always looking to discuss this topic with layman and other software developers since we're always looking to develop a new architecture/a new paradigm for conveying better and more concise data to clients. Even without the business model, how would you create a scalable model for all of humanity, regardless of culture or creed, that displays the information people need to do what they need to do? And what does that even mean, "information people need to do what they need to do?" The toughest part of programming is designing scalable architecture. It's so complicated and difficult that we've all but given up on trying to figure this shit out and now we're just building AI hoping something computationally faster and less human can possibly do it better.
