btw, your question assumes that Common Lisp is not evolving. This is not correct at all.
Which improvements Clojure evolving consists of?
Transducers? Cl got them too: https://github.com/aamedina/transducers
Transactional memory? http://stmx.org/
ClojureScript? http://davazp.net/jscl/jscl.html

These are only infrastructure things, Common Lisp has language features which are just impossible in Clojure while it based on JVM.
The Calculus Trap
One app I noticed recently might be of interest - "SpyMeSat". Give it a location, and it'll show you a list of forthcoming imaging opportunities from several satellites. Tap on any of them, and you get to see further information on its capabilities, including available spatial resolution. I haven't tried purchasing any images, but the prices look quite sane - £8 for 1 square km, £15 for 4 sq.km. Whether more interesting angles are available, as in the article, or just the more familiar "overhead" flat view, I can't tell.

OCaml, Haskell and friends will give you best FP insights. Common Lisp is far beyond these categories =)

To use your analogy TPB are literally only providing a taxi service though, they don't know or care if you're going to the bank and if you're making a deposit, recovering stolen property or robbing it.

In USA format shifting is allowed, downloading a format shifted copy of media is logically equivalent and morally probably slightly superior (less time/energy waste?). Don't know if that line of reasoning had been tested yet? There are countries where it is not a tort to download nor upload what would otherwise be considered copyright material.

In short TPB does nothing in terms of contributory infringement that other indexing sites (Google, Bing, etc) don't do.

There behaviour is the same no matter your intent; do you have a more convincing argument that accounts for common carrier protections and explains why of I get a work using a link from Google it's not infringing but getting one from TPB makes it tortuous?

They also have a style guide: https://google.github.io/styleguide/lispguide.xml
Is anyone aware of other visual programming paradigms which are not based on (or reduce to) the blocks&arrows model?

I cannot say I was ever satisfied in in every context where I saw this model applied. My experience ranges from trivial languages such as this, to compositing software, DAWs or something more sophisticated such as programming-oriented signal generators (where blocks are often used as filters/generators and edges as I/O connectors), to workflow editors...

It "might" look intuitive at first[1], but the network just becomes unreadable as soon as you have more than 10 nodes or non-linear behavior (with edges eventually crossing). Auto-layout just becomes a major problem to be solved. Auto-layout also destroys the visual locality of your program, so it actually goes against the programmer for anything non-trivial. Manual layout is something I do not want to take care of either.

Is any experiment or research being done that goes in a _different_ direction?

[1] I would actually say "less scary". I'm not convinced a simple programming language in the spirit of "BASIC" is less difficult to comprehend in the technical sense.
That doesn't work for all ISPs, for example Virgin Media.
The article doesn't mention CISA. If it did, they changed it.
>one of their founder said he was starting to give up

Nobody of the original team (tiamo, brokep, ...) are still working on TPB. They've given up long time ago (at the time of the trial).

TPB is now managed by someone else, and they've as shady as

You can really easily build your own search engines by listening/crawling the DHT.
This is the nod, though the CISA provision does the exact opposite of this:

That's a novelty hit, not a cultural phenomenon in the sense of something that affects culture. It was forgotten as soon as the next thing came along, the same way Harlem Shake or whatever were, and it never had any deep emotional or cultural impact to those who saw it in the first place.

And even that it's more due to the video than the music -- even you measured it on "billion views".
I think it's already too late. Maybe not for this generation of codecs, but it's game over for MPEG-LA for the next generation of codecs. Mozilla, Google and Cisco are all working on the new NETVC standard that will be standardized by the IETF in 2-3 years. HEVC will start being replaced then by an open standard, even if MPEG-LA comes out with HEVC 2.0 or whatever.
On a non-geologic time scale, "they're not making any more of it."

But that's the same with all other production. You're rearranging matter.
THE MYSTERY OF TETRACHROMACY: IF 12% OF WOMEN HAVE FOUR CONE TYPES IN THEIR EYES
That's bad advice.

Just going to cause resentment IMO.

The concept of double checking your own work doesn't really fly in engineering work. Not that everyone shouldn't do it but it doesn't tend to add much value to the end product. It is human nature to overlook your own mistakes.

In HW development, separate people verify and validate everything. The cost of a mistake getting through is too high to just hope it is all good.

The point is that mistakes will always happen. You shouldn't blame staff for being human but the mistakes can't get out the door. If it's that important, a second set of eyes needs to be there IMO.

However since this is a post office, really the important thing for the customer is to get in and out as quick as they can. The major complaint is probably the waiting time. So in one sense the employees are helping customer satisfaction by getting them processed quickly!
FLOSS oriented sites that do this a lot for some reason. Almost all of them.
Agreed. I sometimes click, but for the most part, I usually shake my head and leave the site entirely in annoyance.

I'm curious to know: why don't published books use click bait titles? Or do they? And where's the line that separates click bait from non click bait? Lastly, have any studies shown that people are more likely to click on click bait than non click bait versions of the same articles?
Excellent. Now this is really a long shot - do you know of the llama farm (or farm keeping about a dozen llamas) that is one the way into Crewe from Stafford? They always surprise me on the way up to Liverpool...

Traction for one.

>Transducers? Cl got them too

Pointing to some random libs that implement the same concept doesn't mean it's part of a languages culture/ecosystem/common practice as transducers are to closure.

E.g. I could say "Rails? Well, language X has a rails like framework too", but that wouldn't mean you get the same benefits of using that framework over rails, when you include language adoption, community vibrancy, availability of programmers to hire, tooling, books, etc.

No, not well done. They went from almost conforming to the OS' (on Android) design guidelines, to totally ignoring them.

The 'hamburger' button is not "unclear", because it's so commonplace that at the very least it has an intuitive meaning in the context of an Android app - it's where I expect more options, settings, etc. How do I know that is now kept behind the much less clear icon that seems to show a man moving quickly?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cybersecurity_Information_Shar...

The core problem is it lets major industry players like MS / Google / Apple give the fed access to all the personal info they record without investigators needing a warrant and with no liability on the companies part (ie, you cannot sue them for state disclosure of your personal info that then resulted in harm against you). It basically means do not be surprised when you are charged with crimes for "private" communications over facetime, hangouts, skype, or with email over hotmail / yahoo / gmail.

For anyone else thinking 'buy XXX from China' T-Shirts are a great case to learn from: Import quality generic T-shirts in bulk at extremely low cost, then do the branding / dying locally to respond to customer demand. Virtually no risk. Aggressive marketing works in the T-shirt (and other generic clothing) business to discover (key: discover, not compete in. Once discovered, they're gone as of days or weeks) markets/interests in a very short (2-3 day) turnaround time.

I think games might be one of the few artistic mediums currently immune to the estrangement described in this article. For example, "Her Story", a decidedly "not beautiful" game with somewhat off-putting visuals, received some major awards along with booming commercial success.

"The Beginner's Guide", a cobbled-together concoction of deliberately unplayable, half-finished games, was another smash hit.

Both critics and laymen love these games.

In the film industry for example, works like that would end up in the fine art echo chamber.

By the way, I haven't heard CNN or NBC mention CISA once this week.

So apparently corporate media has no problem with CISA for some reason.

Since congress rarely write their own laws and let the industry write it for them - who actually wrote CISA ? There's no way congress would know what to ask for. Did the NSA write CISA?

There is nothing wrong for one artist to have a better hand than another. I would also argue there is nothing wrong with an artist speaking from their own perspective instead of one that is forced upon them.
"Should" is a very naughty word. Our government "should not" servey us, but they "should" in order to keep us safe. Artists "should not" create selfish peices but they "should" speak in their own voice.

There was a recent exhibit i found particularly interesting where the artist used real dead bodies. This was interesting because he was legally alowed to and others would pay to go see it. The art itself is not appealing but it applies to the fourth wall. Our world today is filled with so many loopholes and rediculous businesses that an art peice like this reflects on it. If the artist did not speak selfishly, these kind of rediculous loopholes may never be exposed. But in the same notion, would should look at our own lives and recognize art is not a unique case, obvious and loud but far less damaging in many regards
...plus regulatory capture and anti-competitive behavior.
It's a fair question whether the visual/blocks model is appropriate for expert programmers. However, there was some research presented at ICER 2015 showing that visual/blocks languages have benefits for students learning to program. Mark Guzdial had an interesting blog post[1] about it.

"The series of photos also uses other bodily fluids like semen, milk, and blood -- fluids which are highly symbolic, especially for Catholics (Serrano is a believer)."

I was raised Catholic. Milk and semen are not symbolic to Catholics. Neither is urine. Blood is, sort of, but dowsing a statue in it would be to miss the meaning of it entirely. That's saying something because lots of things are symbolic to Catholics.

The entertainer, Madonna used to drape herself in Catholic symbolism as well, even filming her music video in Churches and featuring herself having affairs with the statuary. I don't think anyone of any intelligence attributed any more to it than an attempt to shock the audience. I'd argue that Madonna's work is more aesthetically pleasing that Serrano's, (a framed turd is still a turd,) and that's really the only differentiator in this case.
So? The west just plays the euphemism treadmill and calls a bribe a donation. Police is corrupt, too, and they are bribed with a paycheck.

I don't hate going to work, I don't mind going home either, it's just the time in between that gets me.
Interesting, but consider that, in general, they probably did outsource some aspects early on, and learned the lessons needed. In most cases, the example you give are just too large for anything they do to be outsourced to anyone else - few other companies operate on Amazon scale.

The "outsource everything" mantra may also be fueled in part by VC firms who also just happen to be funding a bunch of other companies that... look at that... provide some of the services you should outsource. Many years ago, on a small scale, I had discussions with a small VC firm. In exchange for their investment, we were also expected to use some of the other companies in their network whenever possible (media/marketing/other tech/etc). That seems a bit of an extreme scenario, but i can't imagine this doesn't ever happen at all.
>Contrary to the article's claims, I click and visit the clickbaiters less and less. "Annoying but it works"... I disagree.

Solitary confinement in the US is totally unconscionable, indefensible, and monstrous.
Racket is not Lisp, and I mean this as praise, not as an in "boo hoo, not Lisp, ergo bad". Racket's macro system, in particular `syntax-parse` and `define-syntax-class`, makes it a joy to extend the language. When you use a Racket macro wrong, you get an error message in terms of the abstraction the macro provides, not in terms of what the macro expander compiles it to, which is an implementation detail you have no business knowing or caring about. `defmacro` doesn't even begin to get close to the level of abstraction that Racket macros provide.

I believe that CISA is mostly about changes within the government itself about sharing data between agencies. It seems to interface with the non-government world insofar as it lets companies share their data with government agencies without getting sued. I do NOT believe it contains any further provisions requiring private companies to share their data without a warrant. Can someone tell me if I’m reading it correctly? Not saying I like it, but if it’s not specifically requiring cooperation, then I guess there’s still some hope left.

"I am shocked—shocked—to find that gambling is going on in here!"

--from "Casablanca"

I'd be shocked to learn that there are no back doors in routing equipment. Having that kind of control is just too appealing to the most powerful players -- the NSA, China, perhaps Russia.

One hopes that people who care about the privacy of their communications are not relying on the routers for encryption. I would encrypt end-to-end. Even if the spooks are capturing the data, let them work for their cleartext.

Of course, we have to use algorithms that aren't compromised, either.

Annoying and disturbing. And they can't claim it's needed to stop terrorism, either. The U.S. anti-terrorism apparatus didn't spot an obviously dangerous couple in San Bernardino, even after one of them posted jihadist goals on her stream. They didn't stop the Tsarnaev brothers from bombing the Boston Marathon even after the Russians phoned to warn us about them. Idiots.
I've certainly observed the same I think :) and yeah pleasing everyone is impossible -- I think though there's a somewhat coherent way to put at least part of those two things together.

Not wanting code generation might come from people who don't like the additional build step and artifact deployment. I don't like that either, but what I mean by "less metaprogramming" is that the code that's generated currently makes copious use of descriptors, metaclasses, and other "complex" things in a way that makes it extremely JIT-unfriendly on PyPy. We had to completely abandon it in favor of using protoc-c wrapped via CFFI. So I care about speed (almost entirely -- protobuf powers systems for us that do ~350K messages per second).

(I do though think it would be possible to satisfy both complaints simultaneously. I spent about 5 minutes trying to write a codegen-less, pure Python implementation: https://github.com/Julian/pb/tree/master/pb but I didn't find the Proto3 docs mature enough to figure out the binary protocol at the time. Not sure there's enough there to see what direction I was trying to go in, but I have given this a shot before).

And thanks for the reply, I do agree that there is some conflicting concerns involved here.
I do not see this, and I believe this is thanks to me using Ghostery. It’s a plug-in that allows you to see, choose and filter in or out the scripts that run on your page.
In this case, I see about 15 of them (and block most, out of experience that those are from company with disreputable practices) so I couldn’t tell you which is the culprit.

I strongly recommend that plug-in to any one, technically inclined or not: the savvy because that level of control makes sense, marginally more than AdBlock; the less so to appreciate how much data-gathering is happening, and what are the names of the main actors.
Note point 5:

Well, the only location many programmers nowadays stumble over ASN.1 is in certificates. And ASN.1 parsing from them has a history of massive security issues and results in massive warnings of "do not touch!".

And yes, "good marketing" in the form of readily available and well-documented libraries for the languages we use is a very important factor.

I bet the telecom sector has their battle-tested libraries for ASN.1, or at least for the parts they use. Are they open-source? Are they available for all languages wanted? No? Then why would I use ASN.1, just to use a "standard", if it means using worse code or writing it myself?
If the USA Freedom Act was 1 step forward for privacy (also debatable if even that), this is 5 steps back.

The US really needs to break away from its 2-party system, and the only way to do that is to kill the FPTP voting system. Otherwise, Americans will never have real choices for stuff that really matters.

Can someone explain why/how the CISA portion of the bill can or can't be removed later?
I believe CISA is more about what the feds MUST do and what private companies MAY do. It’s incentivising the private companies to rat you out, not requiring that they do so.
They should not be a part of language, what for?

Everything else you mentioned is about community only, and doesn't apply directly to the language.

E.g. if you have a good language without a community, community can eventually grow, but you can use the language anyway.

If you have a bad language with great community - it doesn't reduce your suffering from the language itself.
