One other thing in terms of organization. Your makefile should place any .o files in a separate directory, not in the source directory. This helps keep your source directory clean, and extends nicely when you want to have multiple different builds with different options.
Also xz upstream defaults to single threaded. However xz decompression scales pretty much linearly at least up to 4 cores - I wrote a parallel pxzcat to prove that:

Lisp isn't just a concept, it's also a family of implementations. The two significant branches are Scheme and Common Lisp. The only thing they have in common is using parentheses - they're about as different from each other as JavaScript and C.

Scheme is more functional programming oriented, Common Lisp is less so. Scheme is very minimalist, it's most recent standard contains only about 20 syntax definitions! Unfortunately this transformed Scheme into a concept from an implementation. Compare this to CL, which has just about everything and the kitchen sink, and is more of a "concrete" language.

To choose a Lisp is to choose an implementation. I'd recommend playing with all of them. Common Lisp, a Scheme (CHICKEN or Guile), or the "recent" ones like Clojure and Racket. Racket is very much a Scheme - it used to be called PLT Scheme - and has a bunch of PLT superstars building really cool stuff with it.

Clojure, the JVM-based Lisp, has more in common with Common Lisp than any other, but embodies a strong philosophy about identity and value. It has a lot of common with Haskell in that regard, supporting immutable data structures and STM right out of the box. It also has really cool ideas like transients [1], transducers [2] and protocols [3], features which have since crept into other languages.

Clojure is probably the most popular right now, and its ecosystem is growing every day, and can be used for building serious stuff. This doesn't mean you can't build cool stuff with other Lisps! CHICKEN Scheme has a great package ecosystem, so does Racket, Guile lags behind, and for Common Lisp there's a recent "State of the Ecosystem" article[4] that summarizes its ecosystem.

"Lisp is worth learning for the profound enlightenment experience you will have when you finally get it; that experience will make you a better programmer for the rest of your days, even if you never actually use Lisp itself a lot."

-- Eric S. Raymond

Probably best not to circumscribe 'intelligence' even if the ant example is as you suggest. What is planning, forethought or central driving? Braitenberg nailed this back in 1986 in his book Vehicles in which he describes simple toys showing 'increasing intricate if not always successful or civilized behaviour'.

See chapters (vehicles) on 'Foresight', 'Egotism' and 'Optimism'.

How to never forget a name again
I think we may be talking past each other a bit. To me cultural relativism is the claim that we have NO grounds for saying one set of values is superior to another. Women's suffrage is the very opposite, It's a set of values people felt passionately about and fought for. And now it's embedded in western culture. And we have good reason to believe that cultures that embrace it produces more flourishing and 'happier' people.
I still hope that Thrift will make the language you choose irrelevant, so long as it has bindings. Then we will all be free.
I was at the HackTheDrive event. Part of the data made available was logs from several trips taken in the i3. This included car sensor and location data, pinged every few seconds of the journey. I'm not sure if this is transmitted by default.
In reality, the imbalance is even greater as many men aren't fit for marriage/relationship. Look at the men living on the streets, look at the criminal statistics, look at universities: too many men get lost somehow along the way and will never ever have a wife and children. Men genetically strive to be great to impress women. While this sometimes leads to new rock stars, the invention of airplanes and the creation of SV startups, the reality is that many more get lost on the wrong track (drinking/drugging to show how manly they are and because their peers do it, stealing something to "get rich quick", etc...).
I even read a study that 100% of the children only stem from 30% of men (AFAIR, I do not find the link any more).

So those societies favoring the birth of boys over girls are really far away from what should be.

Technically if it was about shifting asset values and hot-spots, then it would have the equivalent decrease in asset values of assets not in those hot spots. Eg, increase in Manhattan apartments and a decrease in mid-western farms.

That would cause asset prices to remain in sync with GDP as the worker would increase goods trade by producing more value in the hot spot.

To me, this is probably caused by two things: foreign direct investment in property from China and oil princes which increases the demand for assets and boosts prices, along with slower than inflation wage growth allowing for more investment in assets instead of labor. Foreigner investment is obvious, but for the wage issue: if a business pays less of total profit towards workers, the business has more money to spend on assets. The GDP would be pushed down and the asset price would be pushed up.

I'm no economist though. There might be other reasons that are more valid.

I have a litmus question about this assertion that programming in language X is the secret to writing great software (quote from another pg essay[1]):

> Our hypothesis was that if we wrote our software in Lisp, we'd be able to get features done faster than our competitors, and also to do things in our software that they couldn't... What were the results of this experiment? Somewhat surprisingly, it worked... We eventually had many competitors, on the order of twenty to thirty of them, but none of their software could compete with ours... It must have seemed to our competitors that we had some kind of secret weapon... We were just able to develop software faster than anyone thought possible.

Here's a better experiment:

- Take two teams: one with great programmers, and one with mediocre programmers.

- Force them to swap toolsets.

Question, which team will outperform? If language is the secret, the mediocre team should outperform the talented team.

But that's preposterous. Great developers write good software fast. Bad developers do otherwise. All developers work best in their favorite tools. Because they are adept using their favorite tools.

Over the last few years, I wrote a GNU Make library to make people able to write Makefiles in a very declarative way to help everyone in my company, me included, with this serious problem. I tried to make it as simple as possible using simple widespread concepts like UML components where you simply say a component has interfaces you can require and implementations you can link against. It is used to build our Operating System, our applications and even our reactjs web application.

I decided to make it open source a few months ago but it lacks examples and documentation, sorry... You can check out this test to see how it looks like in the test-suite: https://github.com/farjump/Makefile.in/blob/dev/test/externa...

It solved every problem I noticed about writing bare Makefiles: dependency tracking and generation is automated; the Makefile can be split into multiple sub-makefiles in your source-tree so that it matches your UML (these one http://agilemodeling.com/images/models/componentDiagramUML1.... you can perform out-of-source builds; generating complex software with deep dependency trees made simple (you inherit from other components' dependencies), etc.

Bonus: it also includes some hacks with GNU Make metaprogramming https://github.com/farjump/Makefile.in/blob/dev/src/mk/core/... :D
The New Atomic Age We Need
Call it memeufacturing. It starts when a (typically) Western company, eager to cash in on a product made popular by the social internet, contracts a Chinese factory to make it. From here, the idea spreads throughout the elaborate social networks of Chinese electronics manufacturing until the item in question is being produced by hundreds and hundreds of competitors, who subcontract and sell components to each other, even as they all make the same thing. It reaches its saturation point quickly. It moves from product to product without sentiment. And it is proof that our never-ending digital output, our tweets and Vines and Instagrams and Facebook posts, has the power to shape the lives of people on the other side of the world.

Arxiv Sanity Preserver
The history of Haskell is described in this PDF: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/simonpj/papers...

This paper describes the situation in the mid-1980s as a "lazy Tower of Babel" with competing lazy-functional languages like Miranda, MLs, Orwell, Clean, Ponder, each good in its own way, but none of them with critical mass. Thus they decided to create Haskell as a new, common language. No doubt each language designer felt that Haskell compromised on their particular vision, but rallied around it anyways, resulting in a far more potent force for lazy functional programming than ever could have been achieved working separately.

Why does this not describe LISP today? Honest question.
This needs more detail about how real estate value changes are counted. Also, how does this account for the transition from fixed-benefit to fixed-contribution pensions?

Of course the savings rate is down. US retail real interest rates are negative. Save now, have less later.
I think the main point is that there is no "RAID is the solution for all our problems" anymore.
So, what about Lisp makes it great? I learned some Lisp in a CS course a while ago, and while it certainly seemed interesting, I didn't feel anything special (perhaps I ought to spend more time with it?). Could a pro give me a short list of the biggest advantages, compared to C or Python?
Backup is never current, and it takes time to restore. RAID has its place. So much so, in fact, that there are now erasure-coded distributed filesystems at Google and elsewhere, reliably storing exabytes of data on super shitty disks.
This is spot on for me. I actually have used lisp in one large project but I haven't used it since. It wasn't my choice then and the guy who's choice it was was a total lisp guru. I don't have his chops. I did enjoy parts of it but not enough to switch

The biggest issue for me vs other options is lack of community / packages

Pick Python, JavaScipt, even Perl and there's millions of solutions to pick from so you can get shit done. Maybe that stuff exists for lisp but I'm unaware of it.

If there was a popular lisp with something like npm, easy integration with non lisp libraries I might consider it.

There's also the issue of perf. The lisp I used was optimized for generating machine code for games. My understanding is most lisps don't perform at that level. Of course as a replacement for Python, perl, JavaScript that's not an issue. But it would be for C/C++ for games

Another issue is finding collaborators.
First of all, you need a lot higher refresh rates, because you tie in your ocular-vestibular system which is very sensitive, compared to the visual feedback required to be comfortable sitting in front of a monitor. It's still unclear where the upper limit is, but the lower is probably at least 120 Hz. The consumer devices being released soon are running at 90 Hz, and that's the bare minimum. I've heard "1000 Hz" coming out of Michael Abrash's mouth, but that was somewhat of a hypothetical number.

Secondly, higher resolution. You'll want at least 4K in the near future, because with a lower resolution display that close to your eyes, you'll discern individual pixels and the actual space between them (causing the infamous "screen door effect").

Is it as fast as gzip or slower?
The number of people who really want to live off of other people's work is much smaller than we often think. More often than not harm is done by people that are either incompetent or desperate.

Do publications like Vice disclose whether articles like these are paid/sponsored or organic if you ask them? Vice seems to claim that they value transparency and that they mark sponsored content as such:

http://www.thedrum.com/news/2015/10/07/vice-media-why-conten...

> [Vice must] Accept that with millennials there is no trust. It has to be earned

> Millennials have grown up at a time where they were told one thing and shown another, said Adams [SVP and Head of Innovation at Vice Media]. Climate change denial, the financial meltdown in 2008, old media was seen as the harbinger and the bringer of lies. “At best traditional media seems irrelevant,” he continued and “at worst it seems like it’s part of a vanguard that can’t get away with what its been getting away with for too long”.

> Vice plays in the middle of this shift, embracing classic programming but also mindful of the tension of new media to craft content that rings true with readers and viewers. “If you’re not open and transparent, you’ll be torn pieces,” warned Adams.

However, some statements in this article also suggest to me that Vice is willing to participate in crafting and shaping content for advertising purposes:

> [Vice recognizes] An engaged community can be as potent as any media buy. [...] So how does a marketer go about identifying a busting community capable of exponentially amplifying their messages? Unsurprisingly, Adams thinks publishers like Vice and the insights they have into their audiences are key.

> “Media agencies can do amazing things but advertisers need to work with someone like us in order to get that initial early adopter curve of anyone who’s going to truly care about that campaign,” he continued. “A campaign should be designed with somebody who really understands content and doesn’t just think about obsessively about CPMs and the efficiency of reach because this will not be the future model.” (emphasis mine)

The major advantages are extreme modularity and conciseness - you can write much shorter expressions than competing languages, like C, Python, Java etc. Macros are another big feature, which allow you to generate code easily and lastly the ease with which you can write self-modifying code (Homoiconic code) is often praised.

Very little information is given on how this works. I suspect the word "holography" is misused. Anything that does not use an interference pattern to create an image from a coherent light source should not be called holographic.
The whole FE formula is still barely doable, they change cars half way because the batteries run out, can't be charged on the go, can't have batteries swapped out. It's planned to be this way for another four years.

I imagine many other parts of the current, and of the AI formula, are equally only just possible now.
To answer some of the people in the thread that have asked why you might want to choose a lisp, here's an answer.

I have chosen a lisp (Clojure) because:

- Clojure allows me to write code that is robust, fast, and simple

- because it's simple, most Clojure code is easy to reason about, now, tomorrow and six months from now

- focus on the data (JSON, html parsing, whatever) and the transformation of it, which is arguably what we do most of the time in modern backend and frontend (React-based) applications

- pervasive and strongly encouraged immutability, managed concurrency, discouraged callback hell, etc which makes it hard to write bad code in the first place

- I can change functional+dynamic+immutable code faster than any other code, which allows faster experimentation and iteration on features

- it works very well for both backend services (Clojure/JVM), and browser applications (ClojureScript/Google Closure compiler), with the language staying 97% the same

Yeah, that is another argument. Not many people understand that driving a F1 car is hugely physically challenging though and drivers need to be in top shape. Us mere mortals would be exhausted after 2 laps and could not hold our head straight for even one high speed corner.
In my country in bigger cities, there's gigabit fiber connections available to home consumers at affordable rates. And my 802.11n can't saturate this.

Coverage is steadily increasing, too, so WiFi or 'LiFi' technologies like this will become more and more important.
I don't know how many years we are from truly autonomous cars that can take you door-to-door with no human intervention other than keying in the destination. There seem to be so many hurdles to overcome that any prediction is likely to be wrong.

However I think we're going to see more and more 'driver assistance' like Tesla's autopilot mode where the driver remains responsible for the car. This kind of tech will get more reliable and trickle down to cheaper models, to the point where most highway / motorway driving is done in semi-autonomous mode. When this happens (and accident rates go down), people and governments will be much more ready to embrace fully autonomous cars.

Has anyone here experienced the Tesla autopilot? There are some fun videos on YouTube. It seems impressive but still a little unreliable.
Fair point and maybe I read a little fast. Or maybe I don't understand what you mean by "personal knowledge". Is seeing it on TV personal knowledge or do you have to have witnessed it in person?

As far as shoot first ask questions later... yep. This is exactly what seems to happen much of the time. The US is bad enough in this regard but from my limited understanding there are worse places. I see videos of outraged mobs in the street in the Mideast for instance based on rumors someone may have said something against Islam or in Africa burning suspected witches.

To your point (as I understand it) I guess I have to agree.. it is far too easy to get people riled up on rumor and this causes problems.
If npm speed or reliability is an issue you could also try a local registry cache:

I wouldn't go that far. Some terse titles have a charm or mystique that enhances the HN front page. And it's good for readers here to have to work a little, so not everything should explain itself.

Analyse Asia 77: Facebook Internet.org, Android One and India with Newley Purnell
In this episode, Newley Purnell, journalist from Wall Street Journal joined us to discuss the recent controversy of Facebook’s Internet.org initiative in India and the implications of the initiative with reference to net neutrality, privacy and security among the different stakeholders. We discussed the relaunch efforts of Google’s Android One, and understand how US technology companies are figuring out how to expand their reach in emerging markets such as India. Last but not least, we discussed the talent shortage issue in India’s nascent startup ecosystem and whether it has the propensity to grow its own home grown Internet giants like China’s BAT with the external competition from US to China and an open market system.
No self doubt (despite their being controversy and some that support alpha male classifications) can be interpreted a number of ways.
