I've also used CL and Emacs a lot; only very recently I've read both GNU Emacs Lisp manuals (introduction and reference). I think as a CL user in a couple of hours you can get an idea of what you can do, and more or less how.
Why not both?

not so sure abt this. even if some adblockers eventually whitelist "good advertisers", there will always be blockers that block everything. and ads are just half of the story. there are tons of trackers and marketing javascripts clogging down the web.

it seems to me that once people see the benefits of the blockers, there's almost no chance of getting them to go back

>I've been saying for years now that if you live in a potential burn area, know where your irreplaceables are, carry fire insurance, evacuate and LET IT BURN.

If people did that, you couldn't buy fire insurance any more.

Let's look more positively at the problem. Use robots to fight fires. Use robots to manage fuel stocks. Learn more about firefighting as a species. I think we can get a lot better at fighting fires than we are right now.
If your goal is people growing more food relative to baseline, you should subsidize food (which we do, intensively).

If your goal is people living in flood zones, you should subsidize living in flood zones (e.g. by insuring it, which we also do).

We need an answer to the latter question in this case, not the former. And one is readily at hand: the political interest of those who live in flood zones. Maybe there's some other justification, but I'll confess I'm skeptical that this outcome is globally utility maximizing relative to alternative policies.

Custom string libraries for C are plenty. Pretty much all large C projects accumulate extensive libraries of utility functions, and string processing is a common one to abstract.
Having Tor nodes in libraries sounds like a pretty good idea. Helps spread adoption and it can hopefully be a way to bring libraries into the 21st century etc. It's not particularly surprising that some local DHS guy would start fear mongering.

>The C/C++ libraries you're holding up as examples get no compiler support.

You can open VS 2015 today and use C++ coroutines backed by Microsoft (and their compiler, which is developed alongside their standard library).

And I am by no means saying that Goroutines are the final story in concurrent IO. Stackless coroutines in Rust would be a dream.

>C++ has had 20 years of stability, Rust only 3 months. Rust will get concurrent IO before C++ has on that time scale.

Concurrent IO is a hell of lot more important than it was in the 1990s, and the relative timescale is irrelevant for people choosing between Rust and C++ today (or Go, Scala, Clojure, C#, etc.).

>Once enough exploration has been done (maybe you think enough has been done for async IO now),

Exactly the opposite — I think the number of developers working on this (the Mio author plus Alex Crichton, maybe some offshoots) is far too few.

And the attitude I'm seeing from some core developers in this thread (concurrent IO is a "pet" feature that the community will someday deliver fully formed and ready for "blessing") is a huge disappointment.

>I never felt like the Road Not Taken was about individualism, even when I first read it in high school. To me it's about the fact that sometimes you have to make momentous decisions in life, in which neither choice is clearly right or wrong. Either way you choose, the choice is defensible, but once you make the choice, you can't go back

Yeah, the "common misinterpretation" doesn't seem to be that common.

However: I suppose you could say that when the poem is quoted it's more likely to be by someone making a point about individualism than someone making a point about irrevocable low-information choices, because people are more likely to drum up inspiring-sounding quotes on the former than neutral-sounding quotes on the latter. So that could explain why people think that other people think that the poem is about the former when they all privately think itabout the latter.

Star also designed the mouse to be used with the keyboard, rather than instead of it. The generic object functions were arranged to the left of the alphanumeric section, to be used by the left hand to operate on the object selected by the mouse in the right. They had a column of wide keys for the main object operations (DELETE, COPY, MOVE, PROPERTIES) and a single-width column further to the left with secondary operations (AGAIN, FIND, SAME [copy properties], OPEN).

They also did not have an invisible clipboard. COPY meant what today would be copy+paste, and MOVE, cut+paste. If you wanted a 'clipboard' document it would be manifest and direct like everything else, and you would COPY or MOVE things to and from it.

That is interesting. If there are ways to expedite work for extra cost, that could be very valuable to travellers. If there was a way, while travelling, to get a pair of pants or a new shirt tailored with a 24 or 28 hour turnaround, I would use that occasionally. Not too often - I'm not nearly that level of traveler - but it's something I've wished for in the past. I could see pairing this service with wedding activities to do a quick fitting at one's house and get everything done and re-delivered. Similarly for other special events. Hooking up with Magic (the SMS concierge startup) and hotels would be an easy way for them to offer a new service without a hassle to them. High-end hotels can arrange a tailoring, but your mid-end hotels probably can't.

5 AngularJS Antipatterns &amp; Pitfalls
IIUC rx.el is a sexp dsl/interface to build vanilla regex down the line right ? from what I remember about scheme SRFI is not the 'syntax' but the return values, you get streams of match, then you can leverage, folds and maps.

lispm point is nice (and no one can argue about evaluation order and count), but beside the battle-tested aspect, `loop` scares the crap out of me. That's even more a reason to prefer things that avoids it in my mind, mentally small building blocks and patterns versus huge macro-based sublanguages. Yes general and probably super-efficiently implemented, but .. nah.
I think if this is considered a major quality of life improvement, you might be measuring the wrong metrics
> I think we saw the same process of design evolution with modern flat designs. There was certainly a perception among some designers that it was difficult to build modern interfaces in part due to the cruft which had been accumulated over the years. Look at an iOS 6 device, for example; even though it's been only a few year, it looks utterly baroque to my eyes now.

It's funny, the more time goes by the more I miss iOS 6 and company. Comparing flat UI design to Swiss design from the 50s is missing the obvious difference that minimal Swiss design was about presenting information, not creating an interactive interface.

As the linked article points out, discarding affordances has a very real cost to someone learning the interface - it becomes harder to separate interactive elements from non interactive ones and harder to tell "on" from "off" (I STILL can't tell if iOS's shift is on by looking at it [1]). The desire to present information in a modern/minimalist way is at odds with this.

My personal opinion is that what you call "wider design context" is pure fashion. Yes, flat is fashionable, but it's just not as good at the job of communicating the nature of UI elements to the user.

[1] Edit: Just to add, Apple's difficulty with making the state of the shift key obvious is a microcosm of this overall problem. The expressive power of flat design language is so limited that indicating the state of a single element is problematic despite several attempts. iOS 9 finally solves this by changing the case of every letter on the keyboard to make it obvious.
While the question on profitability and margins still exists, I think there are some fairly obvious monetization angles for Google with self-driving cars.

A couple off the top of my heads:

- Freeing up all that additional time lets people use their devices to browse the internet which leads to more ad revenue

- Knowing that an AdWords ad engagement results in physically driving a customer to my retail location helps prove the value of "clicks-to-bricks" in a huge way that is worth a lot to big advertisers (speaking from experience).

- Licensing the technology and having access to all of that data can be leveraged for some very interesting targeting capabilities.

- Defensively, it keeps them in a position of power over auto makers, Tesla, Apple, etc.

Also, Google Ventures has a significant investment in Uber, so if Uber succeeds, in some ways Google succeeds.

I've sat many a days and pondered over much of modern art. I can think of nothing but "its shit" when I see a carefully placed piece of dog shit on a plate being passed as art. So I asked a more artistic person than myself.

They responded: Of course, this piece of shit on the plate symbolizes what people are fed throughout their lives - either literally eating unhealthy foods (shit) or more theoretically through the bullshit they encounter throughout their lives. The artist was trying to convey a message about life: everything can be, or is, shit being fed to you on a platter.

Disclaimer: I made all of this up on the spot, but I have seen shit on a plate being passed as art before. So it was partially inspired, which I guess makes the dog shit on a plate art. By some standards.

I haven't read through the tutorial, but I would assume that the programmer does not specify the fonts being used, but rather outputs bytes to stdout. It's the terminal emulator that's running the program that is responsible for displaying those bytes, so that's where things like font would be set.

Lessons from My 12 Week Internship at Ooyala
It'd be nice to do something similar to this on one of those cheap $200-300 40" TVs that go on sale sometimes (the kind that have very bad visual quality, but could reasonably display large high contrast text, and crude lines), and just record where a stylus is and make an extra cheap and ghetto pen TV out of it.
I like this approach. Thanks for putting such a detailed methodology up here.
Yeah, you could maybe argue that DMCA is kind of heavy handed but for a change it doesn't seem to be an abuse, it's actually being used for what it was intended. In particular the fact that he went through the trouble of spelling out exactly what was being violated, gave a number of rather reasonable ways to address the violation, and provided links to replacement repos for the code in question I think shows that some time and consideration was spent on this. This wasn't just your run of the mill blanket "OMGZ MY IP!" type of DMCA request we're used to seeing from media companies and certain large corporations.

IIRC, etcd and consul failed in the same way in aphyr's post. Essentially neither had quorum read.

We don't have jepesen setup as a testing tool because it is really hard to make it a reliable false positive free system. Plus, the languages it is written in make it hard for us to hack on it.

Instead what we have done is worked hard to build a functional testing suite to find non-algorithm issues (weird exhaustion issues, behavior under real disks, etc). And then have deep, fast, deterministic tests of the core raft algorithms.
> That likely would be flawed in its own right --- these days there are probably few infantry squads composed solely of combat virgins.

But since they weren't testing all-female squads, but integrated squads and all-male squads, this is easy to address: determine an appropriate and typical distribution of experience levels. For the all-male squads, use men of this distribution. For the integrated squads, do the same, only replace some-to-all of the combat-inexperienced men from the typical experience distribution with combat inexperienced women.

Then you are getting a fair representation, without either skewing the overall experience distribution so you have atypical squads on both sides, or skewing the experience distribution low on only the integrade side so you aren't comparing like against like.
Patient receives 3D-printed titanium sternum and rib cage
I wonder if a touchscreen version is doable using the frustrated total internal reflection technique [1]. Relatively cheap projects have been done with that technique, but never with a mirror, AFAIK.

It's somewhat different since it requires a sizable box behind the surface and an internal projector instead of the screen. As for turning it into a mirror, it might be as simple as adding a two-way mirror under the Plexiglas pane (or possibly between the pane and the diffuser layer). But this is where experimentation becomes necessary!

Any problem where the data is imprecise or the model itself is very approximate. Machine learning type problems, machine vision, as the paper shows interferometry, lossy image processing. I can think of a few more data processing problems, but I think you might get the point. The use of a precision processor even in single precision when your input data is already 5%+ noise is a huge waste. This has immense application.
This reminds of a piece of code I saw during my training, a web application written in Perl, by a Java guy, that I had to knead into shape.

When I was almost finished with it, the one ugly element that remained was a C-style for loop with a head that filled one and a half lines (about 150-160 characters) of seriously cryptic code, and its body was not much better.

I had been explicitly ignoring this loop while I was working on the application, because I had no clue what it did, and the app was working more or less they way it should.

But when I was finished slightly ahead of schedule, I could not help but use the free time I had left trying to figure out what the for-loop did. Otherwise, the code I had been massaging for a couple of months now was pretty pretty, but the prettier it had become, the more this ugly for-loop stuck out.

I started by adding a simple logging statement to its body that simply announced the fact that the loop was executing an iteration. Then I played around with the application for a while. Eventually, I took a look at the log file to see how often the loop had executed, and was rather baffled - the loop had executed a total of zero times.

I played around with the app some more, trying my worst to make that loop run at least once (which was, admittedly, hard, because I had no clue what it was for). Two hours later, I gave up and removed the loop.

I finished my training about eight months later, and at least during that time, I did not hear of it again. (I really would have liked to know where that loop came from, though.)

Indeed, that's confusing. You don't want to push down the count; the plan must execute "select distinct customer_id" separately on each shard, then merge the results and count.

From your point of view, that may be true, but a lot of things that were implemented as javascript or plugins in HTML4 are built-in and work better across more platforms now.
