I'm really hoping they make it completely open source with service-optional business model, they core needs to be open or it will have the same problems as every other closed source editor.
Light Table has it, as well as emacs - both using tools that are not specific to LT.
And MacOS applications. You know, the second bigger desktop platform.

But it's not like "where it's used" matters. That's mostly just a historical accident. If Microsoft had adopted it instead of C++ for example (which is not that outlandish), it would have been used a lot more. There was also NeXT that adopted ObjectiveC (it was developed before it), and OpenStep which also involed Sun and other players etc.

And compared to "being used for iOS apps" (e.g 1 million apps in the most lucrative mobile market", Lisp and Smalltalk are not used even 1/100 that. And Haskell even less (some "success story" here and there, eg an obscure bank, and that's mostly it). Does that make them bad languages?

And the fact that it doesn't have namespaces. Yeah, so like C. So that's important, because?

>Nope, that's exactly what I think it is.

Well, doesn't seem like you do. Or have any extended experience with the language. It's just empty snark to convey "oh, so obsolete".
Have you used typescript to compare? It adds optional types and class based OO and that's it. It's used for large chunks of Windows 8, eg, xbox music is 100Kloc of typescript.

I do like dart's clean DOM API though.
what's cool is, it doesn't even feel futuristic anymore.
I did acknowledge that the minimum wage sucks. But it sucks the same for all minimum wage jobs... the ones that don't even have the chance at getting tips. How much it costs to live is a much broader topic than this and should include all jobs that get low wages. I think tips fall into the same rough category as bonuses and commissions. People who get bonuses have to accept that they are not guaranteed. If you take a job expecting a bonus and you don't get it then you expected too much. You still get your guaranteed salary. Same with commission jobs. They usually have a base salary and then commissions are paid on top of that based on sales or what ever the metric is for that job. But if you don't perform very well one month and commissions are down... well... better luck next month. Bottom line, don't go in expecting the highest possible outcome. Expect the lowest. If you can't live off that then you take a risk taking the job. If you do end up higher than lowest possible outcome then your risk paid off.
Sounds like eugenics, only the "undesired" population is humans.
1. When you join, they'll make you sign an IP assignment form. This typically includes a section where you IP that you already owned before joining -- these will be excluded from assignment. Fill this section in extensively.

2. Make sure you work on your own stuff in your own time and with your own equipment.

3. Live in California -- the laws are much more on the employee's side on these issues.
The article had good points (although I'm not sure on topic for HN) however using phrases like "predefined standards of excellence" in regards to people/dating sort of makes it sound like the last time you left your mom's basement was a couple months ago. Since the article writer is into psychology he might also like to research "psychopathology".
I think the OP's tactics would be great for meeting a long term marriage partner. PUA tactics are for pickups, and a lot of them are a bit too black-hattish, manipulative, and dishonest for serious adult relationships.
Seamless access is definitely one feature I appreciate the most.
ESPN is just now starting to get it's act together with espn3, which was espn 360 and horrible, it is not a little more open. What I'd like to see is them get more open like the MLB and start showing up on all kinds of devices, at a high quality, and with a paid membership.

ESPN and other sports channels hole the key to the Internet/no cable future, as they own the holly Grail of live sport events. Once they have a serious multiformat solution the cable guys better watch out.
My understanding at the time they open sourced it Symbian was a nightmare, the technical leadership was completely falling to pieces and a huge number of their developers were quitting. And when you're doing things like rolling your own STL implementation you can't just pick up random C++ devs to plug the gaps. Symbian was (still is?) dead in the water, open sourcing it was a last stab at survival.
I think you missed the sarcasm in the comment above.

Yet another example of why sarcasm should be used with caution on the web.
What I got from that article:

"I continue to maintain that broad acceptance and usage of Clojure will require that there be top-notch development environments for it that mere mortals can use and not be intimidated by...and IMO, while emacs is hugely capable, I think it falls down badly on a number of counts related to usability, community/ecosystem, and interoperability."

But I was specifically speaking about the grandparent's post in reaction to this submission. What could be taken from this article to suggest that "all roads lead back to Emacs"?

It strikes me as a very smug pro-Emacs comment that has nothing to do with the article besides the fact that it mentions Emacs at all.
There are also some practical reasons to favour Clojure over Racket, specifically if you work in Java shop. The inertia to move to Clojure but remain on the JVM is going to be considerably lower than moving to whole new infrastructure as would be the case with Racket (indeed the language interoperability offered by the JVM was probably one reason why Scala gained such ground). However, even with Clojure I'm going to get some damn funny looks at the next code review.
Cool! Shoot me an email if you'd like to chat further, myself and a friend had a betting tips site and facebook group going at one point, I like talking about this topic.
What happens if the company goes bankrupt and someone else buys the IP including the data? Can they do whatever they want with the data? Without some enforceable legal restrictions here the data seems to be at risk.
Looks like a nice prototype. In the real world Id like to see some basic provisions for type safety though.

If the last thing used was a half drank rocks glass of tequila the integrity of the entire cache will be threatened.

* they all sound like "stupid problems" till your boss is calling at 3AM because the system is down.
Yeah, I know about it running on linux and even tried to use it as a default shell for a time.

Thanks for the links though, I didn’t dive this deep into it.
>He appears to agree with Murray that some class differences reduce to heredity.

So? When did that became illegal? Or news?
There should be no such taxes. No sales, use, income, federal, state, city, property, ... and list goes on.

Taxes causes billions in wasted resources.

The simplest answer is there should be one universal tax. Wealth Tax. That's it.

The Income, sales, property, etc taxes are to wealth tax, what an equation is to its reduced form..

sales + income + property = wealth tax

2x + 3.5x + 2.8x = 8.3x (pretty much)

it can be progressive and it accounts for everything...

100k in SF vs 100k in Utah.

Young broke person making is first 100k vs multi billionare making is 10000th 100k.

Now think about insane benefits to small businesses. Half the admin cost is all due to documenting for tax purposes.
Obligatory xkcd, a minor tribute in these days of Artificial Intelligence buzz.

Didn’t watch, took too long to load. Let this be a lesson to web developers.
My ISP provides me with a CGN IPv4 address. I have no ability to access any self-hosted services, unless I pay them money for a static globally routable address, or pay some other company to provide this through some other means (e.g. VPN, VPS, etc)

If they supported IPv6, and gave me a globally routable address that was unfiltered except at my gateway, I'd be happier.
I think the original statement included this detail:

> engineer who has even an iota of consideration for privacy

I think it isn't hard to say current practices in tech willfully deceive users about the usage and the value of their data because that would be orthogonal to their business interest.

I think framing it like that is vastly more honest. Not down-playing expectations of privacy.
Yes this is indeed what some dating apps do.

Other users are free to message if you two are a "match", or directly - unless they are new or receive too many messages, to "protect their inbox". This information is hidden from the popular users themselves, who often have no idea that others have to pay (directly/in-app virtual tokens/premium subscription) to message them.

Sometimes there is also the mechanic that if you are popular enough yourself, you can message other popular users, working around the problem of the people you most likely would want to connect with being drowned out by the crowd.

Edit: I should mention, this was about paying for the _ability_ to message someone, not paying per message. I think paying per message is largely avoided by legitimate dating apps because it is mostly employed by scam "hookup" sites.
Sure, it doesn't imply using military force in any protest is justifiable. However, presuming the PM commands the army, then it's his decision -- and the context thereof -- that needs to be justified. It does imply that, in this instance, using the army was the right thing to do.
Is the situation clearer when you realize that it's only a subset of unions which are allowed to be involved with public construction contracts? The unions which didn't make "donations" have been shut out.
I found the "Money" page (https://imgz.org/money/ )'s marketing style extremely distasteful and offensive.

I understand the author is trying to be cool and all, but this is too much by piling up vulgar words all over, IMO.
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

We the People. Not "We the currently elected and appointed politicians and bureaucrats."
It's been conjectured (with some evidence) that it's actually relative pitch that is learned, and absolute pitch forgotten, early in childhood. It's useful to be able to recognize a word as the same object regardless of whether a low or high voice is speaking it. This would also help explain why absolute pitch seems to be more prevalent among speakers of tonal languages, where absolute pitch content carries more semantic information.
well, when using these sites/apps, people have different motivations. some are fairly short term (exotic weekend abroad, want a romantic experience on top). some just want to meet new people. some want to find whatever love means to them. some people are bored and want attention from people.

it sounds like you wanted to find a long term/partner for kids/etc. type thing. that's fine, just realize not everyone on these sites/apps are looking for that, and there's no motivation to give you that bc your value to them ends when you're off the platform.
The price seem to be going up at some rate. It was $75 earlier, and now it's $80.
I would say for most areas it was less than half a decade. I can't think of many sections of an economy that can see greater than 20% year over year growth for more than 5 years without repercussions... Without corresponding growth in other areas to compensate, it's just not sustainable.
That's a pretty narrow definition of "benefit."
Here in Scotland it's even simpler - most properties are advertised by solicitors and you buy for a small (usually fixed fee) through your own solicitor.

There are a number of "Solicitors Property Centers" where groups of solicitors got together to create websites listing all of the properties in their areas:

http://www.espc.com - Edinburgh

http://www.aspc.co.uk - Aberdeen

http://www.hspc.co.uk - Highlands
And then even more work will be pointlessly duplicated.
It seems to require an invite from the owner of the community or members. The owner either gives you their contact details or require you get an invite from one of the members directly.

This is frustrating for me, an iOS dev wanting to join the iosdevelopers slack, because it requires an invite, and I'm a solo dev. So, though I have apps with millions of downloads and a decent amount of iOS dev experience, I don't really have anyone I know in the community.
I've had screenshots inserted into PowerPoint presentations before. That was a low point.
So because they could be dangerous, I shouldn't post the information?

I included the links to examine.com which gives a descent meta analysis of the research behind each of them. Both of them show promising research results.

Safety is never guaranteed. Certainly I don't have to spell this out for the HN audience?

Do your own research. Weigh the risks. If the safety profile is to your liking, then find a trusted supplier and ramp up slowly. Stop immediately if any undesirable effects are noticed.
There's a lot more to entrepreneurship than the weird little bubble of software startups. Entrepreneurs are just people who take a chance in order to make a real difference.

I grew up poor, and one of the hardest things about being poor is that there are so few role models for success. Except for teachers, I didn't know anyone educated. Except for the people my father worked for (and mostly hated), I didn't know anyone wealthy or successful. More of the grown men I knew were failures, criminals, and addicts than successes.

As a smart child in this environment, teachers and other authority figures expected intelligence to lead to obedience, and were frustrated that I didn't care that much about their rules, that I wasn't interested in being especially good at being mediocre. With a slightly different twist in the wind, I might well have wound up a criminal myself, although I like to think I'd have been a very good one.

Even when I left my hometown to go to college, it took me years to adjust to a "normal" life. And it took me years more to realize again what I knew instinctively as a child - that succeeding at mediocrity wasn't a worthwhile life.

The men and women who have made a point of being social entrepreneurs, of being role models in communities that desperately need them - they're better, braver, and tougher than most of the founders we fawn over here. And they'll make a more meaningful contribution to the world.
Wouldn't this provide some evidence for the theory that going into the rain would make you more susceptible to get sick? The range might be limited to close quarters but what about the residual germs and/or viruses that might remain and be aerated again by other raindrops?

It would amaze me to see the aerated particles over time to see if they can be aerated again.
Clearly different circumstances however Spain, France, Germany, Norway all invaded Afghanistan, and Spain and Norway also invaded Iraq. Perhaps not as a direct response, though.

To your second point, it's clearly a very complicated blame game, but trying to distill it down to fit your own point is not helpful. We can easily follow the chain of events backwards - for example had the USSR not invaded Afghanistan, this might have all been avoided.

Certainly the trigger point was the Taliban refusing to hand over Bin Laden, thus providing a safe haven for him and other like minded folk.

This all seems to be besides my original point, which was that terror attacks clearly cost far more than the lives of the people killed, and so arguing that the benefit of the NSA is minimal by considering only a tiny fragment of its potential benefit is fallacious.
I'm too lazy/not interested enough in this to give it a try, and am not sure at all that they are powerful enough to do what you want, but have you considered using user-defined literals? The way I understand these work,

"test"@

could return an object that allows one to write

"test"@("hello"!)

The constructors called could, of course, also link that object in a global store.
this is a really cool idea.. its also great intel on the yc batch companies haha!

how do you track returns? how much money the companies raise? what the companies are valued at? isn't this dangerous because all angel investors including ron conway and pg say it's not about how much money you raise and that is a poor indicator of how successful your start-up is going to be...

obviously a fantasy league where you have to wait 10 years to see who actually wins and becomes a 10 billion company etc. isn't that much fun, but i can't figure out what short-term metrics that would work across different start-ups with different growth plans (i.e. some start-ups will focus on page views, others on sign-ups, others on transactions etc.)
5.12 is a grade that someone needs to be fairly dedicated and skilled to achieve.

5.13 is something that very few dedicated climbers will get to.

5.14 is elite territory and you are in the top few percent of climbers world wide.

5.15 is like climbing glass, hung at a 45 degree overhang.

the dawn wall has 7 pitches of 5.13 climbing and 7 pitches of hard 5.14 climbing... plus "filler" 5.11 and 5.12 climbing for the other 20ish pitches. I have been climbing for years and have only climbed a handful of 5.12 climbs... it's really, really hard. to say that this is hard is an understatement.

edit: the grades came from the YDS which was the yosemite decimal system(actually started at tahquitz before royal robbins went to yos). there are classes of climbing grades where class 1 is walking to get the mail, class 3 is some scrambling but if you slipped you'd be ok usually, class 4 is where you'd probably get really hurt or die if you fell at the wrong time but the climbing is not super hard, class 5 was subdivided into a decimal rating from 5.0 to 5.9. There were climbs in Tahquitz that were the standard of difficulty for these grades. The trough was 5.0(modern 5.4) all the way up to open book which was 5.9 and considered to be the pinnacle of human achievement.

After a while humans got stronger, and the equipment got better, and technique got refined so they opened up the YDS to be open ended as it is today with grades greater than 5.9. they initially stuck with whole numbers but eventually they decided that there needed to be a finer grained approach to grading. thus every grade after 5.10 was given a letter grade from a to d. each letter grade is roughly equivalent to a number grade below 5.10(going from 5.8 to 5.9 is roughly equivalent to going from 5.10a to 5.10b in terms of relative increased difficulty) and each letter grade can take months or years to get strong/technical enough to ascend.

all this was said to drive home the fact that what they are doing is amazing and defies belief. they are climbing multiple pitches of climbs that are 24 "grades" harder than what was once thought of as the hardest someone could ever climb.
Flask has always struck me as requiring too many plugins. With bottle, I just drop one file into my work dir and I'm off. Toss in Peewee as well (another single file) and I get a decent ORM.

That combination is more flexible and productive for me than Flask.

(also, I already have a nice template for bigger projects: https://github.com/rcarmo/ink-bottle)
Discarding the old server and replacing it with a new one is a very brute force way of dealing with the problem. That's not to say it's bad (it will obviously work exactly as advertised), but I don't see it working well for me. In particular, I want something with a quick turnaround.

I very frequently deploy to a virtualbox VM during development. With NixOS this often takes <10 seconds, and that still feels slow. I cannot imagine that you can do immutable deployment anywhere near as quickly or conveniently (but I'd be excited if you can tell me I'm wrong).
You should consider showing this behavior at the genius bar if that is feasible for you. It's not normal for Yosemite.
I should, but then again I have no vested interest in showing off a framework or benchmarking stuff I'm not going to run myself. There is only so much free time...
20 kernels... well, not every kernel needs to be a full kernel. Maybe tiny microkernels?
A video screencast is welcome!
They might run into a public goods problem though.

Overall, if transactions are scarce, transaction fees will go up. But for any given block, if you don't include all the paying transactions, you're just leaving money on the table. Since most blocks will be produced by other people, your own personal decision won't affect the market much. You're better off taking all the transactions.

Since all miners will do the same, the fees will stay low unless transactions per block are limited by the developers.
I disagree. Taking right action and objectively improving your life will make you feel better.

Actions affect emotion. Just like the action of smiling itself has been proven to make you happier, taking steps to make your life better will impact your feelings about it.
Learning will help you in life. I'm not sure kids need a better reason to study and try to do well in school. Knowledge is power and all that. Not going to college doesn't negate that. Hell, I didn't and I'm sure tons of people on HN didn't even do college and I'm doing very well. I'm grateful for the public education system and the "free" education I recieved.
You are correct in that one use case for Genesis is hardware inventory taking, however Genesis is intended for use with Collins and shares aspects of automation with Collins and Phil (internal tool not currently Open Sourced).

On the title itself, I think it is correct, tho requires more nuanced interpretation.
Also adwords (the product that is actually sold). Brilliant idea: users only see ads relevant to their interests; advertisers get qualified users, and instant feedback and adjustment; google gets the highest price possible (by advertisers bidding against each other).

Google is double the good guy: (1) helps users for free, because advertisers pay for it (like free-to-air TV); (2) advertisers can't complain about google's high prices, because it's the other guy who bid it up (like selling munitions in an arms race).

I believe google came up with this independently BUT goto/overture did it first, patented it, sued, and google settled.

So far as revenue is concerned, this is Google's only product.
