>A purely functional subset of Scheme, honestly, is different enough from most lisps that it's a new language on its own.

No, it's not. It's a cut-down Scheme: Most of your scheme knowledge would apply directly, or indirectly.

Besides, even if it was a different language, it's a pre-existing one: DSSSL is pretty much this.

>If you're learning a new language, a new syntax isn't very hard.

Yes, but for me, the choice is learning a new language that has no other applications, save package managment, and using a subset of a language I already know.

>And there's not a terrible amount of people who think S-expressions are an inherently good syntax

I said from my perspective. I'm a schemer, so I'm already on board with sexprs.
So programs should just fail silently?
Considering Hulu is owned by ABC, Fox, and Comcast, any optimism of a delighted customer would have been misplaced. They were basically competing against their own model and had every reason to make you miserable.

Authority Bias: Three Ways to Build Authority in Any Industry
Authority is important and when you have it so many doors open up for you. This article takes a deep dive into the psychology of authority and how you can build it for your startup.

When I was about 16 I was in our half basement with full size windows at ground level playing SNES. It was mid-morning, and there had just been a light rain, but it was sunny out. I saw something bright out of the corner of my eye and turned just in time to see it hit the answering machine that was sitting on the window sill. There was a fairly loud pop, and it tripped the breaker and shut off my game. The answering machine was fine.
Somewhere along the lines, someone might have just done a pip freeze and pulled in all the dependencies needed, recursively.

For example, my project has 66 dependencies after cleaning up pip-freezes' output to only keep secondary dependencies if they were depended on by more than one thing (e.g. chardet is a dependency of every package that works with character processing).

If we're talking about only primary dependencies, we have 13 or so.

If we're talking about the entire dependency network... its easily above 200.
DRM is briefly mentioned. But no explanation for why TLS is necessary on top of that. Is the DRM crypto cracked? Or, as they hint to, are DRM keys the same for all users ("pre-encoded") and thus identifiable?

Structural Poverty and the Non-Adoption Tax (2010)
All the life on Mars is now going to be deep underground. It really isn’t possible to contaminate this even if we were to deliberately crop dust the whole planet in bacterial spores from Earth. It is not something we need to worry about.

I would be much more cautious about some of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn that may have internal oceans. These could be contaminated if we are not cautious, but like Mars they have probably been contaminated by Earth microbes billions of years ago.

I work on a abnormally large Django codebase. It has 30 dependencies on the requirements.txt file. I've worked on other Django codebases and they usually have about 15. Python has a big standard library which cuts down on dependencies. Not that Django > Rails. Just different.
I haven't used Nix. Kubernetes runs pretty well on all the Linux distros that I've come across - I guess this is because K8s itself runs most of its components inside Docker containers so K8s isn't generally prone to configuration issues.

That said, you still have to deal with certain host-level configs like file limits and such - So I guess for more advanced use cases something like NixOS could come in handy - I just haven't needed it yet - I'm running most of my stuff on Amazon EC2 - So I just make sure that my base AMI has the correct host configs for the kinds of use cases I deal with.

Those work best when your color-blindness is from your red/green cones being too close together in wavelength (most common form) and not for cases like me where color sensitivity is screwed up. The sensitivity problem can be solved by filtering the colors working correctly down to the level the bad color works at, but that doesn't work well indoors as you are effectively wearing sun-glasses.

The easiest way I found for data viz to accommodate color blindness is to make sure everything is separated in intensity by a fair amount and have a tool-tip on the color legend indicating which color it is so if the accompanying text is referring to parts by color it can be figured out which color on the graph is being referred to.

Not yet, still a lot of "user flows" need to be solved. For instance right now, if a user leaves a comment but never verifies their email, the comment is sort of in limbo. I'm likely going to fix that tonight so at least the "owner" of the domain can review and accept unverified comments.
I'm not sure that simply showing the absolute number of regulatory policies helps to show that the economy is more regulated than ever. For instance, how many of those regulations have to do with the explosion of computers and the Internet, which were industries that simply didn't exist before 1997? I'd like to see a breakdown of the scopes of the regulations and types of the regulations. I'd be inclined to agree with you if the majority of regulations were economically focused, but I suspect that a majority of the regulations are environmental, health, and information related.

Why Taylor Swift Is Asking Congress to Update Copyright Laws
People don't always use concepts with the exact same definitions in mind. I sometimes interchange between deep learning and neural networks without thinking about it (even though I probably shouldn't).

Generally speaking, neural networks is a very specific type of algorithm. It's been around since the 80s, with the most interesting changes since then being faster computers and more data.

Usually, when I hear people say deep learning, they mean one of three thing: Sometimes they mean more specific types of deep (= more layers) neural networks, sometimes a more general class of algorithms (out of which NN are probably the most important by far) or sometimes they're using a meaningless buzzword because it's trending...

I know it's uncool, but the Wikipedia article on Deep Learning is actually quite a useful read to get a sense of the jargon and what everything means...

It is true. When you move, you will lose all your friendships and life will be difficult for a while.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. You can always make new friends, and if you put in the effort, you will.

The whole nonsense about true friends is kind of silly. Friendship is 95% proximity and 5% compatibility. You can get that anywhere and the history of your friendships really doesn't add value.

This is a classic case of the sunk cost fallacy that a lot of people fall into. You've got to do what's best for yourself in the long run, excluding your sunk costs (in this case, time building relationships). Imagine how silly you'll feel if all your friends move away and you waited around for nothing.

How to Create Your First Website in 4 Steps
I don't own a TV and have never had cable. I have no idea what's currently on television. I don't really care to watch shows as they happen, in the general case; I'm fine watching them at the end of the season (or all at once from the beginning, the way Netflix does their shows). There are very few shows I'd be extra excited to get as they air (Game of Thrones is the only one that comes to mind, and I would pay to watch it in a reasonable way online, but HBO doesn't provide a reasonable way to do so).

Netflix has historically been my favorite of the available options; but their selection, particularly movies but also shows, has gotten pretty weak in recent years, so I always vaguely consider alternatives. But, mostly I just end up renting via Amazon Instant Video when it's something that Netflix and Prime don't have.

Isn't that a problem with the recruiting dept ? and not generally with the Indians ? If the recruiters are not doing a good job, why blame your coworkers ?
I agree that sprint lengths can be arbitrary and counter-productive to developing good software.

I think it's important to understand that the sprint "membrane" is not designed to help developers. It's designed as a compromise between developers and their managers.

Developers want to work uninterrupted and perfect their work before releasing it, and managers want working software quickly and like to interrupt developers and change courses frequently. Sprints are an attempt to find a middle ground, but it's not always ideal.
If that's a euphemistic way to say "sell a product that doesn't work and hope you can make it work before anyone notices", you're talking about a fundamentally dishonest business practice.

Jesus, can we not encourage this? Getting the FCC to more tightly regulate phones will have two primary effects: 1. No more open source phones. We'll be even worse off than we are now. 2. Phone prices go up. Huge regulatory cost increases for little (or perhaps negative) gain.

Just because you think devices should be supported for longer doesn't mean you should try to use the government as a bludgeon to screw over poor people, security-oriented people (who don't want locked-down phones in the long run), and tinkerers/open source advocates.

A vastly better approach would be to require phones to be open source in the same way as gambling machines in the US. The code isn't entirely out in the open if the company doesn't want it to be, but anyone can audit it. In the case of phones, people could also fix bugs if they wanted to.

There's an argument, but it's a really lousy one. If you're passing NULL as a string to printf, your code is broken. A crash which results in someone tracking down and fixing the bug is far better than quietly doing something which is 100% guaranteed to be wrong.
