SBCL, mostly on Linux, but also a bit on OSX. Both platforms work really well, but the experience is a bit smoother on Linux.

On both platforms I have a script that pulls from Git, rebuilds, and installs over the previous SBCL binary image, so I'm using the absolute bleeding edge of the compiler. One day this will bite me somehow and then I'll start using the most recent stable tag, but it's worked okay up to now.

I use Emacs and Slime for development. I had used Emacs for a long time before using CL, so using Slime wasn't an issue for me at all. I know the commercial implementations have some neat IDEs, but I haven't tried them. I'm not sure there's many (or any) OSS alternatives to Slime.

On both platforms I use QuickLisp to install all of the Lisp packages I use. Pure Lisp libraries always work great on both platforms.

Libraries that wrap C/C++ libraries (like Qt or SDL) tend to work better on Linux, but in every case I can think of I've got them working on OSX also, with varying degrees of effort.

On Debian I "apt-get install ..." the required lib* and sometimes lib*-dev packages, and then (ql:quickload ...) has always just worked.

External libraries on OSX are where I've encountered the most problems. Qt was particularly tricky, and I'm not even 100% sure what I did that finally got it working. SDL has some hoops to jump through with a "cocoa helper library" that I had to build by hand, but it's pretty simple and a few minutes Googling turned up enough info to get it working. For the majority of the stuff I've needed (libpng, cairo2, mpg123, and a few others), I was able to install them with HomeBrew, and they just worked once I had my PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH setup correctly. OSX ships ancient versions of several libraries (like libpng), but installing the version in HomeBrew usually fixes the problem.
The copyright-like protection for IC masks became obsolete once IC mask artwork was drawn by EDA systems, not humans. If you want to copy an IC, you work from the logic, not the masks, regenerate the layout and masks, and usually have a different physical layout. That's why no one worries about mask protection any more.

There's one other category that has its own special kind of intellectual property - vessel hulls. There's the Vessel Hull Protection Act, which prohibits making exact copies of registered vessel hull designs. (There's a cheap way to make copies of fiberglas hulls.) This only lasts for 10 years.

The fashion industry and the auto parts industry have lobbied for similar protection in the US, without success.
Interesting that this is coming up again. Over a decade ago, we designed and built a synthetic, refactored phage [1]. At the time, we (Drew Endy, Leon Chan, and I) had discussions with lawyers about copyrighting and open-sourcing it. The lawyers we spoke with (Jamie Boyle & Arti Rai amongst others) seemed to think it might be possible, but in the end we all agreed we didn't really want to be the ones that opened up that can of worms [2-3]. Later, we (George Church and I) encoded digital information in DNA, and made billions of copies of the work [4]. One of the reasons we chose George's book, is that it was clear that he owned the copyright, he cleared it with his publishers, and so we didn't have to worry about being sued by someone.

Anyways, I think the larger point is that patents can be bad, especially for synthetic biology if they cover very enabling technologies (they can be good as well in many cases). The same argument could be made for copyright - however, having both forms of IP protection would probably make things much worse. I'm still of the opinion that it's probably better leaving things be the way they are now.

I've heard it is common for many Chinese people, when eating at a Chinese restaurant in another country, choosing the cheapest looking restaurant, the restaurant with the most basic signage, shops that haven't changed much since the 1970's, etc. Reason being they expected the unpretentious and basic looking restaurants to be much more authentic.
While multi tasking is one of the great myths of our current age, the idea of focus is quite quickly catching up. Both, when pushed to the extreme, are different sides of the same coin.

For a long time computers the public where using also did not multi task, but you could still browse a website and chat with your friends and not notice the switching.
It certainly is for anyone outside of the US:

Not even remotely able to tip the balance towards "private gun ownership is good", in my opinion

Which goes along with one of his points. Outlawing all or nearly all guns is a coherent position (although very unlikely to happen in the foreseeable future); pretending there's a meaningful distinction between "weapons of war" and "legitimate defensive firearms" is not.
OP might have a family to take care of. Saying "screw it" is a luxury that many of us don't have.

Personally, this sounds like the black dog of depression to me. Modifying your environment and work position may or may not help. My advise is to maybe try some professional counseling first so OP can get some help in working it out.
I was referring to the history lesson matt4077 gave in an ancestor comment.

Yes, the Aldi chains were using their own system. It's not too much of a leap: they only have a few different hundred items total, and they already control the packaging and what's printed on it.

In any case, I am really glad Aldi (and Lidl) are making great inroads in the UK and Australia. Mostly because I think the incumbents in these places can use some shaking up from their cosy oligopolies. (Tesco in the UK and Coles in Australia feel `evil' in exactly the sense that we decried Microsoft to be.)
Net Neutrality Rules Upheld: Go Team Internet
They're uncivil because they're (a) pejorative and (b) personal. That's orthogonal to whether they're true or not. Even assuming they're completely true (which is dubious, because pejoratives mostly express dislike, not truth claims), it's still uncivil to express them that way. Indeed it's often more harmful to express a truth uncivilly than it is to express a falsehood.
I had no idea The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar was for adults. I read that when I was only eight or so after reading other Dahl books like Matilda and The Witches. I loved the premise.

Who said you have to upgrade a whole machine when updating a package? Literally every package manager worth its salt allows you to upgrade a single package. And you can usually specify what version you want too.

Yes, ISVs have the right o package their software. But as someone who is both a maintainer of a free software project and packages software for a distribution, I can tell you that I definitely do _not_ want to deal with packaging for every distribution (especially if it's some magical "universal" package). I've used enough distributions to recognise that they all have differences that you really can't "just package for every distribution with one setup".

FOIA Reform Passes Congress in Time for 50th Anniversary
Good riddance. Maybe others found this useful, I don't know, but all it did for me was conflate two disparate concepts (really; tabs are not apps) and cause clutter in what was a useful UI. It was the first thing I disabled after switching back to Android from iOS.
That's a great idea! I'm also thinking along that line for future improvements.
Good question. Why don't phones have physical switches on GPS and microphones?

In this case, the RSA sig is still better, though. Imagine that anyone sitting between the Intel plant and your local computer parts supplier could flip the switch.

It's a weak argument, I admit. There should be both protections at the same time.
Seneca in https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Moral_letters_to_Lucilius/Let...

"What," say you, "are you giving me advice? Indeed, have you already advised yourself, already corrected your own faults? Is this the reason why you have leisure to reform other men?" No, I am not so shameless as to undertake to cure my fellow-men when I am ill myself. I am, however, discussing with you troubles which concern us both, and sharing the remedy with you, just as if we were lying ill in the same hospital. Listen to me, therefore, as you would if I were talking to myself. I am admitting you to my inmost thoughts, and am having it out with myself, merely making use of you as my pretext.
And the reaction from the community was so fierce that they stopped. That was the second point the author was making. I don't recommend Ubuntu any more because of unethical actions like that, and I know quite a few people who do the same.

As usual, Tom Murphy has a great top-down analysis of why cars don't get 100 mpg:

http://physics.ucsd.edu/do-the-math/2011/07/100-mpg-on-gasol...

Spoiler alert: it's mainly because cars are shaped like cars, not fish.
This needs to be higher up. Likewise, a thermal cycle (Otto, Stirling etc.) doesn't get X% efficiency, an engine (running at a given hot/cold temperature with pumping losses etc) does.

Article says "The Stirling engine is capable of using roughly 50% of the energy it produces. An internal combustion engine, like the ones in our vehicles, uses about 14%." This isn't even wrong - the efficiency of both of these engines depends on a huge range of factors.
On Quora, the question "How many people are killed during home invasions every year?" produced an answer [1] that I think describes the difference between me and someone who feels the need to own an AR-15. I'm just not that worried about being killed by a home invader because chances of it happening are so low (94 in 2013 for the entire country for example) but any number higher than 0 is too many for some people to spend time and treasure preparing to defend themselves. Me, if I was that worried about dying, I'd buy a safer car.

> As per the article, to actually prevent ring -3 malware. The implemented signature is the best way to do this.

No. If the thing has no persistent storage in it then just removing power from the machine would remove any such malware, and if it does have storage then it should have a "reset to factory" jumper somewhere that has the same effect.

There is no excuse for not letting the machine's owner replace any code on the machine.
Very naively, I wonder what happens if you just call Intel and complain about this. Say you want a way to remove the ME completely. They won't help you, but I wonder how they will justify making it compulsory if pressed.

Now if I call them, I wouldn't reach anybody important. But surely there are a couple of people on HN who are lawyers, CEOs, with the government etc.? If you have an imposing job and a few minutes to spare, I'd like to see what Intel has to say about this.
>but I can't think of a good business reason why an administrator needs to control whether or not the end user can use a function like autocomplete

I work in biotech; FDA regulated medical devices and diagnostic tests. Allowing autocomplete for forms which log you into an application which is used to sign out diagnostic reports is going to cost us in an audit.

I realize this is not a typical case, but there you have it.
The rest of it is covered by my second argument. They don't want you to see it due to highly proprietary stuff running there.

And if you agree about code signing, do you really believe that letting everyone see it, but then not allow anyone else to change it, is a good idea?
> Disabling interrupts prevents you from using interrupt-unsafe logic inside the critical section, which is impractical in most cases. It would mean, for example, that you wouldn't be able to touch memory that had been swapped.

Presumably the semantics of the "lock these two cachelines" instruction trap when one of the cachelines you're trying to lock isn't present, rather than when you perform an operation on that cacheline subsequent to the locking.

> It also doesn't actually improve performance. When people do this, it's because they want to edit process-local data structures. Unless you're in kernel, you probably don't want this.

I don't totally follow; off the top of my head, lock-free reference counting and doubly-linked list removal both get significantly simpler. There's lots of algorithms that get much less complicated and dodge more atomic ops if you have access to CAS-2, and this is strictly more powerful.

To be clear, I don't think this instruction is a good idea; I just don't think it's obviously bad.

> As a practical matter, HTM is dead. It's 2x slower than locking in the common cases: uncontended critical section or contended critical section that has a race. It also prevents you from doing effects outside of memory (it's just guaranteed to revert to locks in that case, so you pay all of the overhead of HTM and all of the overhead of locks).

HTM is already showing wins in some domains, and it's only going to get faster relative to other concurrency primitives.

I'm not totally sure what you mean by "contended and racy" and "contended but not racy"; by "racy" do you mean cacheline ping-ponging? Certainly that will never be cheap. I think most of the desire for lock-freedom comes less from fast-path cycle reduction as much as protection from the scheduler or some very slow process. There's also plenty of situations in which data structures are touched mostly by one thread, but periodically need contention management. The overhead of locking in the single-threaded case can be substantial even if the lock acquisition always succeeds; on my machine a non-atomic CAS is about 6x faster than an atomic one even if the CAS always succeeds (and this was with no stores in between the operations; a more realistic example would have a deeper write-buffer).

Nor had I!

The combining form “stereo-” that
shows up in such words as “stereotype”
and “stereophonic” is derived from
stereos, a classical Greek word meaning
solid.

And then, stereotype:

A plate relief printing plate cast in a
mold made from composed type or an
original plate.

So, a solid plate type face. (but not boiler plate)

But now, both stereo and stereotype, their meanings so profoundly mutated well beyond their liteteral origins.

Stereo now pretty much means "2 of something" and stereotype has turned into a word carrying negative connotations of mostly bigotry or prejudice.
I got pretty comfortable with it. If I opened up hacker news, then the messenger app, then reddit, it stayed in that order which felt very natural.
It has to happen in real life to be an anecdote. Did the comic give the impression of being biographical accounts of two people who coincidentally end up interacting at an event where one of them is being congratulated?

The comic was subtitled "A Short Story"; Wikipedia defines a "short story" as "a piece of prose fiction...". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_story

It was clearly a fable.

FWIW, for supermassive black holes, the curvature at the horizon can be arbitrarily flat.
Interesting, thanks. From what I can tell, the probability of one bit flip per year is about 25% for a machine that's always on and that's under constant load. Reducing the load about halves the probability. If we consider then a work laptop, average life of three years, used 8-5 five days a week, you get a probability of ~10% for a single bitflip happening during the machine's lifetime.

The question is then: would reducing one crash per lifetime of the machine on every ten machines be a huge improvement?
If effects last for more than 4 hours you're supposed to see a doctor.
You think that ISIS is popular because you are being hyped up by politicians who have an election to win. You've been fooled.
Yeah, it sounds a bit extreme - but the point is once we're let go of everything, we get a clear idea of what needs doing, and what we need to leave behind. Last time I did it I figured out what I wanted to do in two days.

The table's a mess. We're having a hard time figure out how to rearrange it. So, the "stranger" tells you to tip it all on the floor, you, not sure what happens when you do it, does it, and after a few moments, whatever we really need back on the table, we will pick it up, despite what the "stranger" says. We end up with what we really want, and everything else on the floor.

Sometimes family is really hurting ourselves, and it can be a wise choice to screw them and leave. A close relative of mine killed himself after years of emotional abuse from his mother. That's stuff that's happened to me before, and if, to survive, I have to leave whoever it is to sink or swim, then screw them. My survival and sanity is of prime importance. Sometimes, taking care of family is a luxury we can't afford.

Doesn't help without passwords, which present some ethical problems with helping spread them especially from that site as he gets some dumps that aren't public.

With my idea the people with the data would be able to directly shut down the accounts ethically.

Maybe the proposal could also hash and salt the passwords before sending it to the site, which sounds even better for security and wouldn't be too much of a hassle for whitehats who want to help.
Like any skill, some people will naturally be better than others, as an expression of Evolution. Those with an aptitude may find it beneficial, while others may find it torturous. Sometimes articles like these feel like they're written by the latter.

Capitalism specialized labor where it was cheaper - mass production. This has since been automated. Subject matter experts have always been valuable, but
such diverse experience is hard to come by.

Moreso it's about having to wait for the technology. Waiting for the page to load. Waiting for the program to load. Waiting for the IDE to load. Waiting for 1 million FOR loops. And having something else to work on while you wait. Or just something to read, or watch. Maybe even for a personal project in an unrelated field, or just to be a more interesting person.

> A person who dominates a set of skills in both breadth and depth. In other words, this person possesses a lot of skills but excels in 1 exclusively.

Better to excel in all skills in the field than one exclusively. Even better to excel in a multitude of skills across numerous fields. But such diverse experience is, of course, hard to come by.
Passwords became hard to manage... now you have to choose >>different<< password for every site... Who can remember all those passwords? Only a password manager...
You have the ability to make money in the market by providing liquidity by giving your money to the farmers so they can buy and smoke their meth today by technically being the owner of the weed until such time that it dries and a stoner is willing to buy and smoke it. It is called a commodity futures contract exchange or a commodities market. I think they chose to be condescending to their readers by using the stockmarket analogy and essentially saying "these plebians have no idea what commodities are oe how they are exchanged so let us use a word they've heard on their TV." Anyway, what did you want them to call it instead of a "stock market[place]"? A "[weed] market[place]"? Or just a "marketplace" and skip the analogy altogether?

Also, I wonder what happens if you get pulled over with certificates that say you own a whole bunch of weed? If that is found in plain sight, does it give probable cause to search further?

I agree. I loved it, and I miss it.
Troy doesn't (for very good reasons) keep the passwords or hashes from breaches - just the email address. That make his API not quite capable of doing what's proposed here - Github can't use Troy's HIBP API to detect whether a breach containing my email address included a password that authenticates with them. (And I'm not sure there's even a way to make that service without creating _way_ more security problems than it solves...)
