> One of them is that, each time you read a new program, you have to learn a new language

Which is not bad at all. You still have to do it with the programs written in the same language built with different libraries and targeting the different problem domains. In the latter case the language is obscuring the essence of the code.

And if you're using a well designed DSL, and you're familiar with the problem domain, it will be readable naturally, just like a pseudocode.

Or you can look at it this way: Since we've gone down that road, let's squeeze as much good out of a bad decision as we can. By any means necessary.
A better question: "What impressive programs are written in Lisp?". Or "Why isn't there a Squeak-like Lisp machine environment, where 'compatibility' doesn't have to matter?". If a language is incredibly productive and programmable, why don't we already have a VPRI-like STEPS environment in 20,000 lines?

Pet peeve: apps/services that have a section that says "As featured in..." followed by a bunch of media outlet icons that aren't links.

Why would you NOT link to press coverage of your money-maker?
You and me both!

This is common to many of us and until you really decide on what you want out of life, you'll keep on doing the same old thing, and hoping for different results. In some places they call that insanity. And almost all of us do it.

Yet here's some practical steps to get you to do what you want (apart from the awesome list jwdunne posted).

-Built a bucket list, and use those as the loadstar for your life. If your goals don't help you reach your bucket list items then those are usually bad goals.

-Use scheduling to choose ahead of time. Think of a schedule like a budget for your time. You get to decide beforehand what you are going to do, which helps you do it.

-Edit your /etc/hosts file and block out youtube, facebook, reddit, etc... for a whole month. This will help you break your social media addiction.

-read up on the Pomodoro technique and do it. Honestly it's amazing.

-Move your body more. You aren't designed to sit/stand for hours doing the same thing in the same pose.

-Walk/exercise every day. This will help you stay at your computer when you need to stay.

-Decide that you are stronger than your weakness. Man is buffeted when he thinks himself the creature of outside conditions. You have the power to change your life.

-And if you keep messing up, take time to figure out what is going wrong. Try something new, and sooner or later you'll find a way that works for you.

As implemented, they're basically useless. Asking "does X know about Y?" without verifying that I have any knowledge of Y myself doesn't do much. My dentist has endorsed me for things like "Cloud", and while he's a great guy and good at his job he can barely work his iPad.

I personally view those as noise at best and very skeptically at worst -- if someone has a bunch of endorsements for a particular skill I suspect they actually don't know much about it.

Nice effort on behalf of the Cherokee Nation Language Technology Office - I didn't know such a thing would exist, but I'm glad it does.

Similar cultural modernisation issues abound just over the water in Ireland, although Unicode apparently regards Gaelic script as a font variant of Latin. I did notice that a font called CeltScript is linked to in the links section here [0] and has been around a good while. I can imagine the script also had an influence on Tolkien, to say the least [1].

Maybe some of the more ancient cultures of the world should come together more often, celebrate their joint heritage and influence on the world. I'd support a Celtic-First Nations powwow-ceol session, even if not many others would!

It seems the union did not buy as much time as they could. By ratcheting up wages so fast, they hastened the day that automation was cheaper than labor. Cheaper to go overseas anyway.

Ah, cool. I think they added the rules API later, otherwise I could well have done that. That's in some ways better; last year when my router died, my lights stuck on.

For what it's worth, I avoided tying the lights to actual daylight hours. In winter I tend to get a bit gloomy, and so part of my goal was to make my brain think that it was never really winter. It seemed to help this winter, although it's hard to say for sure.

The revenue thing is addressing a conflict in LinkedIn's approach. The value in the platform is the users but their monetization of that platform tends to drive off users (due to being spammy). So they are saying they need to find a monetization system that encourages user growth rather than detracts from it.

You may not agree with that, but that's their logic. It's not quite as tautological as you make it seem.

A related point from geometry is that high-dimensional spheres are "spiky". (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3995615)

E.g. if you have a set of things which vary in many dimensions (even if each element is no more than a set "distance" from normality), very few elements will belong in the "centre" (normal on all dimensions) and most will belong on a spike (wildly extreme in 1 or 2 dimensions).

I'm not talking about an edge firewall - I'm talking internally, firewalls are able to trivially stop traffic from reaching the hosts which they could attack. Now, depending on your network configuration this may need to be done partially by the switch (ie: separate VLAN for such devices) and edge firewall, by separate NATs or by firewalls on the hosts themselves.

EDIT: My simple solution (the one I had in mind) is to make a firewall box - a cheap linksys router with custom firmware can be set up to act as a switch but will also follow iptables rules. This serves the same sort of purpose as a hardware firewall in the middle of a corporate network but at lower performance. Bulbs connect to switch/WAP outside of firewall, hosts connect inside it. Everything behind it is then restricted from accessing the bulbs or viceversa.
Diving into Docker: What it means for your enterprise DevOps strategy
The very first time I did DMT -- this is way before stuff like Erowid -- I was not aware of that, no, and I did sense what seemed to me to be some kind of otherworldly presence. In the times since, I have read all about it on Erowid but still haven't seen specifically the "machine elves" but have had similar "encounters". The presence was more aggressive and "dark" when I smoked it versus drinking ayahuasca (from a mix of B.Caapi and P.Viridis). Also sometimes I feel a similar (but different) "presence" when smoking salvia divinorum.
Common Lisp has an optional type system and many compilers have excellent type inference engines for optimization.
The economic forces at work are supply & demand, and a process referred to as voting with your feet. Every time someone or some society gives more to a homeless person they increase demand - in a sad twist of intentions and results they increase the negative effect they're trying to alleviate. Homeless people are also able to move more easily as they have so few possessions and a lower cost of moving. If San Jose provides relatively better conditions for homeless people than Las Vegas, then San Jose ends up with a correspondingly higher homeless population.
It seems like many people don't really understand how lobbies work.

Corporations' interests aren't identical so they cannot be defended by one lobby.
And there are lobbies defending non-corporate interests. And those can be a. quite powerful b. quite nefarious.

The secrecy during negotiation is necessary because "someone soemwhere has a good reason to oppose something".

The fact that there are many somewheres, someones and somethings involved make it impossible to do it in public.
If they had to negotiate in public, they would no longer be able to argue this way, you are correct. They would also be unable to make concessions and compromises which are bad for the voting citizens of the country. And they would have to be clear about what their policy objectives are.

You keep saying "but... but... it would be different from how it is now!" all over this thread (and are frequently rude and condescending). And everyone else is saying "yes, exactly, that's the point". Different is not bad. You need to go a step further and explain why transparency would /not be better/, pointing out that having our laws drafted by corporate interests with near zero citizen input in secret is the way we currently choose to do things is not good enough.
> Not "safe from dissent", as the term is often used nowadays.

I don't think that's a fair characterisation of what "safe" in "safe space" means.
This reminds of the comment I had left about another post here about the "Costs of under-confidence", where I posted what I though made a great team. Essentially, that we create a "safe zone".

The article in this post echos what I had felt: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10731071

This is an interesting article since he cites a pub quiz and sports - something I participate in.

I've been playing for about 4 years in a pub quiz. We've won once and are considered a strong team. However, the difference between the a strong team, and the better team in a night, is the fact that our team fosters a "no suggestion is a dumb suggestion" policy. No matter how stupid you think your answer is, you are encouraged to say it. In fact, if we see body language from a person hesitating we're quick to jump in and say "Spit it out! Just say it!"

We essentially create a safe zone for our team members to not worry about the consequences of a wrong answer. There were so many times where a completely wrong suggestion makes another teammate say, "Hey! Wait, I think I remember!"

We also have a policy of if a person has a different answer than the rest, then he/she has to "fight for it". That is, you have to convince the rest of the team. By having a "fight for it" rule, we put controlled confrontation on the centre of the table and let people hash it out. There is no regret, or fear, or worrying about feelings. It's just a normal part of our evening that is done with humour and friendliness. Firm, but friendly!

By doing the above, we instil confidence in every team member. Those that are more confident by their nature, can still be challenged by anyone and keeps them in check, and the weaker confident ones feel safer to step forward when they need to. It balances out and our team has absolutely great chemistry because of it.

I've also played team sports for most of my life and some of the best teams I've played for had former professional athletes. Since they were stronger than the rest and more confident, they always raised their hand and took the blame for any mistake! It was quite funny because we knew my screw up was not their fault, but they would make an excuse about how they should've done 'X' and I wouldn't have screwed up.

Needless to say, that allowed players like me that weren't former pros, to be at ease and to be more confident and give my best, knowing that the strongest player on the team wasn't going to look down on me for every mistake.

It was a very interesting dynamic where the more confident person ensured that the less confident person is playing their best and it raised their confidence. Again, it is a kind of delicate balance that can change on any given night.

I think part of that resistance is that by giving in to urbanization, they are subsidizing SF's resistance to the same thing. If SF relaxed their laws and allowed for more density, San Jose could go back to being a suburb. As your post alludes, most of the jobs for people in SJ are further up the peninsula and I imagine most would want to live closer if they could.
When was San Jose's downtown booming? I recall boarded up burnt out buildings before the first boom of the early 00's.

Before tech SJ was just a backwater with a bedroom community in the Almaden for hardware tech companies and then SW arrived and tech migrated north up the peninsula and up to SF. But SJ has never had a booming downtown despite Mcenery's efforts.
> does this mean anyone can write code to perform any kind of task (nefarious or otherwise) and be protected by the First Amendment?

It should. Code is speech, so banning private speech is to create a thought-crime. Unless the author of that code intends it to be used as a weapon and facilitates that use, yes, they ought to be protected. Your hypothetical also probably isn't all that hypothetical. Pacemakers have vulns, and it isn't illegal to create a PoC proving the vuln is real. There are probably real world examples.
> What impressive programs are written in Lisp?

I'd only call this anecdote, but one or more benchmarks assert that cl-ppcre, common lisp's perl-compatible regex implementation, is faster than any other, include perl's.

The larger question I'm intuiting from your post, "Why doesn't language power make a difference in practice?" I don't have an answer to.
Ideally, you'd initialise the filter with all the elements at startup. Obviously, the complexity for this is dependent on the number of elements to be added + a constant overhead for the number of hash functions k. So, for n elements, it would be O(kn) or O(n).

Adding elements degrades the filter and and deciding when to stop adding elements is purely down to what worse-case false positive probability you are willing to accept. The equation for this can be readily found online, but put simply, the probability p is a function not only of the number of bits in the filter's array, but also the number of elements already added to the set.

Swift Tutorial: Sprite Sheets and Animation with SpriteKit
I'd prefer a language where I don't have to write a domain language from scratch and write a program that can enforce its rules at runtime. Rather I'd like to be able to express my domain code in the language itself, so that my users don't have to learn (and I don't have to create) a new language. That requires a consistent way of restricting things at compile time, which is very hard to retrofit - if I ever want to be able to enforce that programs don't do certain things, the language needs to not offer unrestricted access to those things.
