Opinions differ on this. For a couple of years I had Thinkpads with both the old and new keyboards and I strongly preferred the new one. Each key is slightly larger, the spacing is better, and the keyboard springs are just right. However, if you use a lot of function keys, I can see why you'd like the old one better. The keyboard heavy things I do involve old school text editors (I use Vim awhile, get mad at it, switch to Emacs, then reverse) and these don't
use function keys much.

This has the last version of LIST that was released, 9.6y1: http://web.archive.org/web/20080704121935/http://www.buerg.c...

The earliest cached copy has 9.6x: http://web.archive.org/web/20030104124009/http://buerg.com/d...

You have to poke around to find earlier versions.

And I found 6.2a from 1987! http://ftpmirror.your.org/pub/misc/dos/RbbsInABoxVol1No2_640...

According to this poor version the file I tried to view in DOSBox was created in the year ";6". (The 9.x versions show "04/15/2016".)

Also, here's what was indexed as "ASM for early V Buerg LIST file viewer", but it's very rudimentary, at only ~1000 SLOC of ASM. No compiled copy provided so I can't test it, looks like MASM syntax: http://ftp.icm.edu.pl/pub/msdos/coast/textutil/lst60asm.zip
I'm undecided on whether Model X was a mistake even when seen in retrospect. It might be the case. But assuming that it was, Tesla couldn't have known this beforehand. Model S demand turned out to be more than twice as high as Tesla initially expected -- at least six months of the Model X delay was caused by the deliberate decision to increase Model S production rather than carry on with the initial plan to produce Model X right away. Maybe Tesla could have backed water at this point, but I'm not sure that it would have been a good risk-adjusted move, given that Model X represents very good diversification in the premium-vehicle segment. There is low overlap between luxury sedan and luxury SUV buyers.

Model X was initially thought necessary to produce enough revenue through the time at which Li-ion batteries could be produced cheaply enough in large quantities to launch a cheaper, good electric car. That the Model S turned out to be so popular wasn't at all obvious in 2012, when it first entered production.

It's great that someone is working on bringing back Common Lisp from its deathbed.

However, even on the home page of that website, there are stuff that needs revising in order to make Common Lisp a modern language. This is subjective of course.

(reduce #'- (reverse (list 1 2 3)))

What's that #'-? Need none of such obscure syntax.

(mapcar #'string-downcase (list "Hello" "world!"))

WTF is mapcar? The whole car-cons terminology needs to be removed or at least banished to a 'low-level feature' status where most people don't need it, I think. Of course I'm highly influenced by Python where everything has to be written in the way I think, and not the way the computer thinks.

(make-instance 'book :title "ANSI Common Lisp" :author "Paul Graham")

Make-instance? It's called new in C# and Java which is 3 keystrokes, and in Python and C++ it's exactly 0 keystrokes. It only gets worse with hash-tables:

(defparameter *d* (make-hash-table))
(setf (gethash 'a *d*) "b")

which is in Python

d = {'a': b}

The generalness of Common Lisp means that it's a helluva lot of typing. And reading too! To get people to use it much, I think these areas need a lot of improvement.

And promoting SLIME as an IDE is not ideal either. I know it is amazing, and I use Emacs a lot, but the learning curve for Emacs itself is so steep, and it's so different from anything else currently in use, that I think this in itself is able to drive a lot of people away from Lisp. Not to mention that even though Emacs does exist for Windows, every package update or new release comes with an awful lot of new bugs that come from very few or no testing on Windows. Common Lisp needs an IDE of JetBrains quality and ease of use.

I paid attention at the time, but has since repressed most of it. While torching the platform made me bitter about the tech industry, it was also that very few people even cared. It even gave the iPhone a match [0]. The industrial design was great, had sleek UI and clever UX. And that's not even the more technical features. Yet people mostly went on about how great Android was.

When Ubuntu then went on to argue over desktop icons (or whatever) while there was a huge hole left by the mac pro, I pretty much gave up on user facing Linux (in the broader sense). Switched all my desktop os and development to windows and haven't looked back since.

Around 3 decades ago when started with BASIC, Pascal/Delphi 1-based index was pretty much the norm and off-by-1 mistakes were significantly more dominant.

Switching to zero based index Java/Javascript/C felt a lot more natural (no need for upper bound, always include->exclusive when it comes to bounds). Many algorithms benefit greatly from as well (hashtables + bitwise AND, for instance)

Virtually I do not recall making off-by-one errors while working with Java. Whilst it could be attributed to personal experience, the loops construct "for (int i=0; i<length; i++)" or "for(int i=length; i-->0;)" appear quite intuitive. Strict bounds (i.e. < or >) feel more elegant as well.

Seeing, using both type of indexing, 0-based one would a winner by large margin in my book.

"Smuggling", in the primary sense, is moving anything across a boundary without notifying the relevant authorities. It doesn't matter whether the stuff is generally legal or illegal; you're smuggling if you move it secretly when you weren't supposed to.

For example, it's relatively common in the US to smuggle cigarettes from an area with low cigarette taxes to an area with high cigarette taxes. The legality of conceptual cigarettes isn't at issue; what's at issue is whether the relevant taxes were paid.

Well, if that's what a "blockchain" is, then git [0] was doing blockchains way before they were cool.

> There are people who define a blockchain more strictly (e.g, The Blockchain(TM) with decentralization and crypto)

I can see not having a distributed ledger, but if you eject the cryptographic part of it then you don't get any of the tamper resistance. Without that, all you have is a linked list. And -as we all know- "linked list" is a much less sexy phrase than "blockchain".

I think we could always find a thing that made the next big innovations possible. Newton said that we are standing on the shoulders of giants. I also wondered the other day if humanity could rebuild the current level of technology given a select team of our brightest and all available knowledge, but no tools or machines. We would have to recreate so much in lock step to event get to the most basic things. Just think of how much effort and technology is required to manufacture a simple ball pen.

Ready Set Go loved this desk top program on Mac and MacDraft
Personally I agree, especially with Mac's CMD+` to cycle through them.

But I guess it adds another level for grouping things that are in the same window but slightly different, or maybe some people are just prejudiced against multiple browser windows..

The only thing I can think of that isn't just down to "how you use it" would be grouping tabs in the same cookie session, but not persistent - i.e. an incognito window with a bunch of tabs you want to organise, but share cookies. That being important seems like a stretch though.
so... what's missing?

Maybe I'm being overly cynical, but I see the choice of years as another effort to put the 1960s on a pedestal. If I was being even more cynical, it wouldn't surprise me if the article was written by a Baby Boomer.

You could pick any era in the 20th century and find multiple examples of world changing innovation, and there were other periods of rapid change further back in our past as well (the Industrial Revolution springs to mind).
The last 200 years are special. We've gone from 1 billion to 7 billion people. It's hard to compare that with a period of time when there were only ~200 million people.

In terms of pure impactful science I'd say 1920-1960 or so. Quantum mechanics and everything it led to (modern chemistry, in particular) is the big one, but there was also relativity, the modern evolutionary synthesis, huge advances in statistics, the math of computing, and so much more.

It (the A/THR triggers TOGA thrust and engages) is not a stall recovery.

From Flying Training: "Stalling will occur whenever the critical angle of attack is exceeded, irrespective of airspeed. The only way to recover is to decrease the angle of attack (i.e. relax the back pressure and/or move the control column forward)."

This is referring to the aerodynamic stall, which is what caused AF447 to crash, not an engine stall.

I'm not an Airbus driver, but it's my understanding that normal law provides stall protection, and pulling the stick full aft will give you the highest angle of attack consistent with not stalling the aircraft. This is what is being discussed in the paragraphs you quote. It is, however, possible to stall the Airbus in alternate law, in exactly the same way as it happens in any other aircraft. AF447 was flying in alternate law.

In summary: increasing thrust is not what breaks the (aerodynamic) stall (but it is used to minimize height loss). Reducing AOA by pitching forward breaks the stall, and that is done on an Airbus by pushing forward on the sidestick.

At least ProtonMail is working towards full compatibility with the OpenPGP standard, thereby allowing non-Protonmail users to encrypt emails using a standard PGP key - according to their stated roadmap, ProtonMail will eventually allow you to export your keypair and will also allow you to upload keys you've generated outside of their service instead of relying on their service to do the key generation.

Tutanota has implemented their own variation of encryption which is not OpenPGP compliant. Their justification for this deviation rests on their desire to be able to encrypt all aspects of communications (metadata, subject, etc) while PGP doesn't not offer this.

Ask HN: What tools exist to do live video manipulation for streaming/recording?
I am considering doing online piano instruction, and am wondering how I can combine different video sources on the fly, and either broadcast or save the output.

An example of what I am talking about would be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obNAgImLMSI, about 15 seconds in, where an overhead shot of the keyboard appears at the bottom of the screen. A different type of effect would be this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stsBqdo9Svc, in which a 2nd keyboard appears showing which keys are being played as well as the note names (which can be difficult to otherwise determine in fast passages).

I'm a good programmer (MS in CS), and don't mind getting my hands dirty in a bit of custom coding, but I don't even know where to start. (Don't worry, I'm competent to teach piano, too... I also have a BM in Piano Performance.) I specialize in teaching the integration of music reading and improvisation, and have had many requests to teach long distance, but I have never done so because I do not feel as though I have the proper tools to do it justice.

I would love to find an Open Source solution that I could contribute back to, if possible.
