I had a couple of them, a 3620 and a MacIvory. With all the focus on AI, maybe Lisp optimized hardware will return in some form, perhaps a bit like GPUs have become a trend. There was a lot of clever code written on top of Genera. It would be a shame for it to get re-written due to the loss of the Lisp machine platforms.

And why do you think it's bad ? "Services" are heavily dependent on interconnected,globalized world.But this is a difficult topic to discuss. If you at some point lose the ability to trade with as many nations as you can then you are really screwed up if you have outsourced all of the manufacturing jobs away (unless you have very cheap robots and automation but in that case you do not have to outsource in the first place).

For this new product, no. We use a ton of different technologies to make different parts of our business work. We prefer to focus on solving consumer + smb pain points vs owning the entire stack ourselves.
I'm not really sure how you got that from the words I wrote. There's tons of work in addition to the tech which leads to a success story like Uber. That doesn't imply that the tech doesn't matter, just that other stuff does also.

you seem concerned with animal welfare, or at least the minimization of suffering; how do you justify willfully killing animals (which undoubtedly creates suffering)?
Think this is more accurate. Maybe they can't exist post growth because in the social media space we have obvious reference to companies like MySpace and Friendster. Where the slow down of growth happened due to competitors that will chip away users/market share until the product becomes largely irrelevant compared to what it once was. In this situation investors are looking to get out for as good as price as possible.

Not only are they mediocre in skill, but studies suggest politicians spend up to 60% of their time raising donations. That means they're developing skills in raising money, not designing legislation that benefits their constituency.

Further, expertise comes not just from the amount of time you spend on something but how much feedback you receive and how you respond to that feedback. Few, if any, legislators will measure the economic or social impact of their bills 1-5 years after it's enacted.

What you end up with is a lot of people who are convinced they're doing a whole lot of good, when in fact they're more or less pushing paper and making their donors happy.

I don't understand why we can't have both. A traditional, unfiltered feed AND a curated one, with users in control what version they want, at any time. Want to see the filtered or curated Twitter? No problem. Want to see the traditional list of tweets? Just switch to that one by clicking a tab. Now powerusers and casual users can enjoy Twitter the way they want.
That's why someone like Google just seems like a good fit for Twitter. Existing ad sales mechanism and super strong infrastructure seems like it would offer up a lot of opportunities to trim down.
Don't know what the problem looked like on your system, but there was no apparent problem here on Firefox/Linux.

You can easily unit test the customisations you make to your shell (edit: I meant to write terminal here), and can share them with other engineers in a modular and easy-to-install way.

Since JavaScript is a more 'popular' language than Bash, you are also more likely to receive bug fixes and extra features for your plugins from other engineers.

JavaScript might not be the best language compared to many others, but compared to a lot of shell scripting languages it's not too bad. I've never thought that the way people currently customise their shell prompts is well-designed.
By far the best writing on this subject I have found is over at the fantastic Renaissance Mathematicus blog.

Wow. They really are Yahoo. Founders take a back-seat in the midst of hyper-growth. Outside management team sourced from other industries (CFO of the NFL, for a tech company?). Product pivot into believing they're a media company. Eclipsed by newer technologies. Founder CEO returns amidst flat stock performance and boardroom turmoil. Exploring a sale to other big companies, who can't afford it because the market cap is too inflated. Talk of needing a turnaround CEO.

Maybe they should hire Marissa Mayer. I hear she'll be looking for a job in the near future, and she's got plenty of relevant experience.
I live in the foothills of the sierra, and I've been a search and rescue volunteer for a while now, so I'm in some part of the Tahoe national forest about once a week on average.

The damage, when you see it up close, is stunning. You'll be driving along a highway and see miles, and miles, and miles of dead trees standing there, waiting to burn.

It's catastrophic, and that's not a word I use lightly.

The prediction for this year is a mostly dry and cold Winter. If that happens, I expect next Summer to be one of the worst fire seasons in state history. There's so much dry material out there now in areas that require tremendous resources to combat.

If/when superfire season happens, there's a good chance it'll overwhelm state resources and there's going to be a lot of damage that will take decades to recover.

I was in Kings Canyon for a state SAR conference not too long ago and the fire scars from a few years ago still look fresh. Most of the stretch of highway 20 through Clear Lake is just black and brown. That's gonna be a look that's hard to get away from pretty soon, and I doubt we fully grasp the impact of that yet.

The opposition to Galileo was not really religious or scientific. More than anything, it was political. You can't understand what happened outside the context of the religious wars of the time. His findings undermined the authority of the Catholic Church.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_wars_of_religion

There are plenty of examples of political suppression of science in our own time. The Nazis and Communists were two extreme examples.

In our own society, religion doesn't have this kind of power any more. But there are still political pressures on researchers to be PC. I'll let you think up some examples yourself.
> what are your thoughts on aqui-hiring a side project instead of just purchasing a side project, but incorporating the sole developer(creator) too?

I'd want to feel good about the reasons the creator wanted to sell and keep working on it. I think it would be hard to take the product where we wanted without the creator getting frustrated - if s/he had the vision and ability to execute, why did they need to be hired?

That said, I'd be open to it.

> how would you estimate the valuation in that case? would you offer him/her the price to purchase the side project in addition to a salary? or offer a unique compensation package that takes into account of the valuation of the side project?

Hard to say because I think it depends on the situation.

One of the big changes here is that the :has selector is available in regular stylesheets. This is going to open up a wonderful array of interesting possibilities (virtual selectors like "parent of" or "previous sibling", for example).

Well, I'm using uBlock Origin, but I haven't futzed with the default block lists from what I can remember. I'm not really sure the difference between the origin and non-origin versions, so maybe it's related to that? You're probably uniquely suited to answer that... ;)
This seems to be mostly about "having to remember too many passwords":

> “Years ago, you had one password to keep up with at work,” she said. “Now people are being asked to remember 25 or 30. We haven’t really thought about cybersecurity expanding and what it has done to people.”

So why not switch to using password managers and hardware tokens then?

> The SysV init system stopped being convenient for some number of people, so they replaced it, and it has been a long and horrible process. It will happen again if it needs to.

Instead of learning from that mistake, systemd just doubles-down on it. systemd will be much harder than SysV to replace because it includes more than SysV stuff. It will happen if it needs to, but why not just make it easy to replace if it needs to? (answer, IMO: insecurities about your product make you want to entrench yourself instead of constantly improve it)

> Well, now they're thinking about it, and talking about it every time they bring up problems with systemd. Those problems and discussions are something that will be brought up when any potential future init system is being designed or advocated for.

Sure, but why not do that now? instead of pushing it off for people in the future to figure out?
I don't think you're counting the dependencies.
Lisp's syntax is okay, but its semantics is absolutely horrendous. Even ignoring the features that make it not so great a high-level language (such as the lack of a workable static semantics, forcing programmers to dynamically test what can be taken for granted in more civilized languages), Lisp is an even worse low-level systems language. In the 80's, the only way one could reasonably hope to use Lisp as a systems language was to run it on hardware explicitly designed to run Lisp. Of course, hardware support for features like dynamic typing and efficient dynamic allocation of lots of small objects doesn't come for free - this is what made Lisp machines expensive.
> When we began, we did not realize the enormity of the challenge.

That right there is probably the most important ingredient of many moonshot projects.
Hahaha neither! I actually thought you were looking to understand what I meant.

My family and I are also looking to buy a small farm and basically do the same thing, use it to provide good healthy food for our kids and hopefully at some point setup a program for other food conscious programmers and do a hackathon every couple months to improve on farming equipment.

Did you get a govt loan for your farm? If so did they require a certain amount of food to be sold or grown?
You've got a good point here. Before actually using the product I thought the name was really gimmicky. Despite that, I had a fairly positive experience with RethinkDB. Their documentation was great and changefeeds were a great feature for what I was doing at the time.

It doesn't seem to support the Tangut script, which is added in Unicode 9.0. It's the first thing I test if a font claims to support all languages in Unicode. In my knowledge, I haven't really seen any general-purpose fonts containing support for Tangut (because probably no one is going to use it). I thought Google has already completed this project, but apparently they haven't yet.
Facebook was valued at $104b when it had an IPO and there was similar shock at valuation. It's now worth $370b because they were able to monetize mobile better than anyone else. Snapchat might fizzle out, or it might be able to successfully pull off mobile branding advertising (opposed to the social targeted advertising that Facebook owns). If so, watch out.
I strongly disagree. I think it failed because it failed to gain popularity for social reasons. It solved a lot of very important correctness problems. On the other hand MongoDB is successful despite having many serious problems. The initial versions were so bad that it had no right ever becoming popular.

Unfortunately, popularity doesn't imply merit and merit doesn't imply popularity.

If you're worried about how to make the game, I really recommend watching some of the handmade hero videos:

https://hero.handmade.network/episodes

I think it's really cool to see Casey walk through all the steps that go into figuring out how to make the game on stream. I skipped the very beginning, as it was pretty windows specific, but the first episode I watched was really cool:

https://hero.handmade.network/episode/win32-platform/day021

He sets up auto-hot reloading of the C++ game code, to cut down on dev time.

It's actually a large body of work, (more than 100 hours!), and even watching at x2 speed, it'll take a long time to get through all the videos, but I think they are pretty informative, and fun to watch.
>We need food to survive.

Non sequitur, food isn't synonymous with killing animals

>Almost all life consumes other life for survival

Appeal to popularity, almost all life does all sorts of things that we don't condone or have decided is suboptimal.

>There is nothing more natural than eating.

Non sequitur and naturalistic fallacy. Eating is natural but that doesn't imply killing and eating animals is natural. Even if both are, that isn't in and of itself a valid justification for that behaviour.
I suspect you're using many extensions. Most users do not, at least according to FF's stats.

Process sandboxing is not a user-visible feature; it's (1) a largely hypothetical security feature (hypothetical in the sense that it's not empirically obvious that complete sandboxing is better than alternatives), (2) a means to discourage locking and make the browser snappier.

Note that by now, firefox does use process sandboxing, and indeed has used process sandboxing for the most critical bits (plugins-i.e. flash) for years. Benchmarks do not back up your claim that Firefox is a lot slower than chromium; nor is that my experience. For a long time, scrolling was smoother on firefox than on chrome - I often read long webpages in auto-scroll, and chrome was janky on some pages firefox was not - and the reverse was true too (although to this day, when it works, it never works as well on chrome as it does on FF, for some reason).

The FF developer tools have at times lacked some features, but there have also been features they've had before chrome, e.g. the rendered font display. I can't right now think of a devtools feature in chrome that I'm missing in FF. I certainly debug in both all the time.

For a very long time, font rendering on windows was better, and hi-dpi worked while it didn't on chrome.

Chrome's a good browser, and it's still snappier today. But the difference is really splitting hairs at this point. There are much larger differences in day-to-day usability that people put up with all the time. I don't buy that chrome's undeniable strengths are sufficient to be noticeable unless you're actively looking for them; and chrome also has bugs and issues other browsers don't; it's not a pure win.
Did RethinkDB spend $8M in 3 years?
It's worth thinking this through one step further IMO. What kind of event would cause a private key to be compromised, so that it needs to be revoked?

The most likely cases are that (1) the client machine was compromised, or (2) an un-encrypted backup was lost. In either case, I have a hard time seeing how one private key needs to be revoked but others on the same client machine don't.

A completely valid point, even if you get downvoted for perceived cynicism.
You could still calculate that with an earth-centric approach, it just might not be fun. As far as the physics go, it doesn't care which point or body you pick to be non-moving - the math all works out, it's just relative to a different point. And with that, there's no spot in the universe you can point at and say "That point is not moving", so there's no "fundamental zero" we can compare everything to.

Perhaps the point is that "more correct" is subjective. Both approaches will give you the right answer, it's just that heliocentric makes finding the answer easier.

You seem to think I am invested in Sanders, which I can tell you is not true. Heck, I can't even vote.
You go on your elaborate rant about how the system has always been unfair and Clintons are brilliant to utilize it in their favor and nobody should complain about it, yet you fail to feel the same way about Trump or Putin. Propaganda has always been used and misinformation has been used to influence large groups of people to do stupid stuff. If the large group decides to buy into the propaganda and elect Trump, why are you complaining?
I am digressing here from my original point that people are too focussed about the source and not enough about the contents and its validity, but going by what you've already said, you seem to be ok with everything being wrong as long as it favors Clintons. I am done discussing this.

Funny, I recently looked into using QML & Qt Quick as a lightweight alternative to electron, and although there are some promising factors with the approach, it became apparent that things would take a lot more work and experimentation than simply using electron.

A nimble, feature-complete starter client that is fully scriptable with javascript, i.e. qmlscene without the rough edges, would be ideal.
