I am also aware of that. I am not really trying to convince you of anything, mostly trying to prevent casual readers from being taught Common Lisp from you. Look at the example you just gave, this is beyond ridiculous. I would prefer if you were focusing on what you want to fight "for", not what you want to fight "against".

You like having a strong separation between the language and its implementation. I get it. Note however that if you are the Haskell compiler, you can know things the programmer cannot, or you can inject code that can perform manipulations the programmer cannot express. There probably is an identity equality operator down there, that people cannot access. If you like that, I can understand; I can understand the appeal for a strict separation of concerns and the desire to express only the high-level intent. But really, I think this is not much different in CL and that you are focusing on implementation details. In CL the separation is not enforced, and that is your main problem with it.

The CL compiler is defined at the language specification level. You have access to internals, by choice, just as if you were writing Haskell ASTs using an Haskell compiler's internal API. As such, you can cross abstraction barriers whenever you need.
We already discussed about this once, you can use purely functional data-structures (see FSET) and EQUALP and code to that functional interface and pretend there is no computer down there. Then, if you want, you can play with packages and symbols to make MAP & co. refer to the parallel version (see LPARALLEL), re-compile and have parallel code (this works best with unqualified symbols and different package definitions for the same file).

In all PL discussions, there is eventually mention of an hypothetical sufficiently smart compiler. The CL point of view is (among other things) that such a compiler is one where a programmer can easily add its own extensions. That allows you to express the intent of the program clearly in one place and have the implementation details elsewhere.
Jesus what a humourless bunch
IMO Riot is a late beta - pretty much all the features are there, but performance needs work and the UX needs work (this is next on the plate now E2E is done). HN and Powerusers are fine. Right now typical end users require a little handholding to get started.
This "left vs right" stuff is all a distraction and wrong anyway. The major media outlets definitely are not right-wing biased: just look at Washington Post, NYTimes, etc. What they are is biased towards the establishment. This was especially obvious in the recent election, with things like WaPo posting dozens of editorials trashing Bernie and extolling Hillary, and the coverage of such outlets working to get Hillary elected at all costs. Of course, this is painted as "left wing" in the US because the Democrats are associated with "left", but Hillary was the Wall Street candidate, so unless you think that "left wing" equals "in bed with big corporate finance", the media outlets aren't really left-wing, they're pro-establishment.

How to Work at Google: Example Coding/Engineering Interview
You probably have a cookie or key in local storage. Clear it, and it should behave.
It is specific to this project, in that it will rewrite your code to mean something other than what you intended it to mean.

I'm not being critical of this project, I'm being critical of the all too common practice these days of installing a dozen or more Babel plugins to fix every problem that exists, and thus creating your own one-off language that will be unreadable in 6 months.

Babel has become the new hammer in front-end development. Everything looks like a nail.
Which is part of my point. You're talking experience and capability vs. "CS". The person I responded to contrasts two styles of bootcamps, but you could replace "bootcamp" with "CS" plus some minor editing and make the statement equally valid. "CS" doesn't really mean much, just as my math degree doesn't mean much. I used it to point out that the two rubber stamps aren't very different. The only real difference is that new grads are a crapshoot on both the technical side and the employability side. You just said "many", but how do I really know if one of those people is the one I'm hiring? How do I pick out the mature 22 year old that isn't a cowboy coding know-it-all, and who will actually be able to be fill the basic employment criteria? Technical minded-ness is pretty easy to spot, and I can verify recent work experience and success much more easily than I can validate what someone learned a decade ago. I'd happily hire a technically minded person with a demonstrated work history over a new graduate for the same price. Many people that take bootcamps already have technical knowledge, but not necessarily the specific domain knowledge. I'm using my experience to demonstrate that "bootcamp" doesn't mean the person magically sprung into existence the day before their coursework, just as your example points to the same thing. We hire people, not degrees or coursework.

It's an HLS video, which comes in the form of a text manifest file (.m3u8). The manifest file can define subtitle segments (.vtt, 608, 708) in addition to video segments (.ts) - it's the job of the video player to stitch these together to play at the same time. Safari & Edge have their own HLS implementations but every other browser uses a third party library. Server-side transcoding is responsible for making these manifest files from video & subtitle files.

Well then I suppose we agree. I'd never advocate mass emailing an unsolicited email without prior research. But, if I were looking for a job you better believe I'm gonna use this tactic, albeit in a calculated way (target 5-10 companies with very tailored emails and research on the recipient up front).
Persuasion versus Populism
This is pretty disappointing. I'm not an Apple fanboy, but after I went through a new router every 6-8mo for two years (none of which were low end) - I decided to try the Apple one. It's now been at least 3 years or so with zero issues.

The immediate links to the linkbuilding content itself, sure, I'll buy that. But those links create clicks, and some of those visitors will end up linking other parts of the site, including the product.

So a slower process, but still one that should be worth it as long as your viral content is actually about your product and facilitating discovery of the product.

I think that's one of the problems: People pump out content that is only marginally about the actual product, and few people go on to visit the parts of the site you want to actually get people to link to.
The deployment of the telescope looks quite a complicated process.
Sure, I was even a little worried that it would be perceived that way immediately after I posted it. (Although my concerns weren't articulated to myself as well as your point.)

But at the time that I left my comment, this thread had very few votes and only 2 comments. It looked like it was just about to fall off the bottom of the front page.

I figured a simple "dude, wtf" comment for the (very) few of us who were participating in this thread at the time would be interpreted as: "If you don't know what to make of this, but you know you don't like it, I'm with you."

As it turns out, at least some of downvoting was due to some people's serious misunderstanding of the original article. See for example, aaron695's misguided comment below about "gay sex".

Anyway, sorry for the meta-meta discussion.

These filters make mistakes and can hide something that you actually want to notice. It's a low probability mistake, but the price is too high to risk it.

The hypocrisy comes from the broader 'internet enthusiast' groupthink that says anything Edge or IE must be worse and that MS is horrible for doing this, but in the same breath they give far less criticism to Google for doing this with Chrome.

Whether you agree with that view or not, it's understandable that the OP feels there's an element of hypocrisy not from Google but from the internet community as to how they view these companies' efforts to spruik their products.
> sam makes an unwarranted number of assumptions, and as such must be cut away with occam's razor.

I agree with you that the logical thing to do with my answer is to cut it away with Occam's razor, and I don't blame you for it.

However, it should be noted that Occam's razor is a general rule of thumb, not some infallible law.

If you were handed a piece of paper with a high level description of how the universe truly works, would you recognize it as the truth or dismiss it as the ramblings of a lunatic?

If you went back in time even a few hundred years and handed the most brilliant thinkers of the day a piece of paper containing just one paragraph about general relativity, how many of those slips of paper would survive Occam's razor?
Dementia Risk Declines, and Education May Be One Reason Why
Given the expected values in your example, I don't think anyone would fault a VC (or any actor with a non-pathological marginal utility curve) for taking option 2. Now, what about the two bets:

1) 80% 1x, 20% 5x (EV: 1.8x)

2) 99% 0x, 1% 100x (EV: 1.0x)

How many VCs do you know who would take 1 over 2, even though it's the "obvious" money-winning bet?

I'd love your thoughts on why this is. My semi-cynical thesis is that VCs need home-run logos on the Portfolio page of their website to keep their spot at the dealflow table.

Let's break the VC world up into three types:

A - Brand-name VCs that funded yesterday's massive unicorns, and are regarded as clairvoyant masters of the universe

B - Unknown VCs with a half-decent return on their last fund, but didn't back anyone you've heard of

C - VCs that swung for the fences a few too many times and imploded

Founders want to work with "A" VCs (for both rational and irrational reasons), so the first names they call are the ones whose past big bets paid off. "B" VCs are much lower on the call list, and only get access to the deals that "A" VCs all passed on. "C" VCs are obviously not available to chat.

It is arguably rational for a VC to seek to become an "A" and end up as a "C", rather than to muddle along as a "B" until she's getting pitched every week by hair salon and gym owners with A Great App Idea and her LPs wonder what she's doing with their money.

It don't know what you mean, but it's certainly avoidable. You can do a few things:

* Only use language features of the browsers you are targeting. If you are targeting evergreen browsers (not IE) you can use most of ES2015 including classes, arrow functions, and template literals.

* Or use a transpiler but stick to some sane judgment of presets, preferable Stage 3 or greater, but at least stuff that's on the standards track.

* Don't use stuff like this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/babel-root-import that exists only to save yourself a couple of keystrokes.

from 2008... as the market has been up and to the right almost the entire time

Was there a time that the market did not go to the right since 2008?! Where's Dr. Strange?!

something learned during the recent campaign was where Donald Trump's inherited money originally came from: the Yukon gold rush! but not from gold, it was bled from all the people chasing after the gold, most of whom lost their meager investments. This is the business model A16Z et al is pursuing here. And if gold is discovered, they'll be first on the scene.
What benefit is it for a group to have themselves incarcerated? I could see how one group could grant protection to themselves and their interdependent group, but it seems strange, even contradicting, that the group with power would grant protection to someone else but then not do so to themselves.

And if we allowed such concept to enter the calculations, every other power indication must be put into questioning. Social science commonly make a point of gender distribution in the work environment. We naturally conclude that since more men are in CEO/higher pay position, that must be a result of power. However, a Chinese study showed that >80% of women won't consider dating a man if he doesn't own his own apartment and earn above a cultural set amount. 50% even consider it wrong for man to be outside if not earning that amount, as he should stay inside and work until he has increase his earning. Does this mean that women in such culture are the one in power, and that they just happen to give up power in the work force since its in their best interest to have men with high income?

If we are to include such relations, and from my perspective, results that are not Nash equilibrium, we end up with an impossible high burden of proof on social science. The researcher would basically have to prove the non-existence of such relationships.

> if you only considered how men and women behave on dates, you may wrongly conclude that women have more power

Its not easy comparing two asymmetrical reproductive strategies and asking which one are in more control, but a general consensus seems to be that whoever invest most are the party that are more discriminative and more selective. Where humans end up depend generally on the one studying it, and the methodology used, and local extremes.

> the more powerful group gets its way in almost every case

Depend on the time scale. If we look at an elected party, they will by definition get their way in almost every case until next election. At that point, their power, which was given by society as a whole, can be removed. The question is then, where that power ever part of the group or was it just granted?

Going back to cultural values, it doesn't change as rapidly. By allowing groups to have different power in different situation, it is also less rigid in its predictions. If the same cultural values are kept over time, you also get the effect that groups gets their way consistently over time as per the culture. The thing that would disprove culture as the culprit of power, is if a group had power to change such culture. Do you know of any such case?
As companies commonly pay for your ticket if you have to travel to a job interview, a friend of mine half-jokingly suggested you could do it full-time as a job for a few years after university. You'd schedule several interviews in a far away city and charge that ticket several times.

More seriously, most people are scared of changing jobs and hate the application process, to their own peril. If you could really own this whole process you'd win on every level.

In some ongoing DDoS attacks, I've heard companies say they're dedicating more resources to combatting the problem.

Is active mitigation mainly about sifting through incoming traffic, trying to find signatures and update filters in realtime? Or more replacing dynamic with static content as its targeted? Or are there other ways resources get surged during a crisis?

ie, Is it heavy on manual analysis, or are we at the point yet where we can automate mitigation?

Just curious. Would recommend an AMA, but that's not this site.
I don't care what your party affiliation is, its still embarrassing when congress members are severely ignorant of the constitution. The freedom of assembly, just like the electoral college, exists to protect the rights of minorities in the face of contrary popular opinion.

Any particular reason none of the implementations just do a random pick of a pivot? This usually is good enough to prevent the O(n^2) solution that the diet implementation runs into.
They released a watch line which is marketed largely as a fashion accessory, and an online radio station. Neither is of interest to me at all, but took a bunch of people and investment to execute.

Unless they've got something wonderful up their sleeves, it seems like they really did become a 'lifestyle brand' instead of making the technically best stuff they can.

The release of the stupidly expensive gold watch was a watershed moment. Literally no functionality improvement over the base model and several hundred percent more expensive. A big long-term error in positioning and philosophy in my opinion.
Collisions between a directional link at short distance and other things using the spectrum are minisicule. It is like using megaphones to hold a conversation at a distance of say 10ft. It does not matter whether you are in a crowded area with everyone talking. The megaphones will drown out everything else. Using omnidirectional antennas is trying to talk without with out the megaphones. The difference in signal strength is what makes the wireless link with directional antennas more reliable than the one with omnidirectional antennas.

Dingoes, fair enough, I missed those. They're opportunistic though, and you have to go looking for reports on attacks (apart from the obvious one, which was hard to escape the media frenzy of...). Dingo attacks a but a drop in the ocean compared to other (pet) dog attacks here.
I was using rancher, but it is seriously memory hungry (mine seemed to need 2G) so you would need a $20 Digital Ocean box just to run rancher. Also, the agents / monitoring rancher uses was eating quite a lot of memory / CPU on each host.
Their computers were never quite "bleeding edge", but there was a few years where they hit a really great sweet spot:

1. Top quality industrial design and components (trackpads, screens, etc.).

2. Reasonably competitive specs (never as cheap as building an equivalent PC from parts, but close enough that you didn't feel totally ripped off)

3. An OS that provided Unix compatibility with a nice GUI that Just Worked.

Now, in all three areas, they've either fallen back, or their competitors have caught up.

1. The design and build quality of the best ultrabooks matches that of the Mac, and individual components like screens are often better. Meanwhile, Apple refuse to introduce real touch-screens on their laptop, presumably due to internal pressure from the iPad division, so they settle on the touchbar as a compromise. Or they want better sound, but can't make it work internally, so they just add fake speaker grilles instead.

2. The specs have stagnated, while the prices have increased dramatically.

3. The OS has gradually been locked down, and its Unix roots eroded. Meanwhile, Desktop Linux has improved, and Microsoft has added Linux compatibility to Windows.
|You see, it’s all about freedom.
I think Apple would disagree with you
Aren't they only configurable with a phone app? That's a deal breaker for me.
One row represents one instant of "the machine". By adding another row below it, the human is doing the execution very very very slowly.

Actually, depending on the rules, there is no need for more than one row to be present at any time. When the human starts working on the next row, (s)he can remove the rocks from the previous row after using up its information.

"Depending on the rules" means the future state (next row) is completely defined by one previous state (one previous row). This still allows one to make a turing machine. An example where one previous state is not enough is Newtonian mechanics, where you need, not just previous positions, but also previous velocities, or, equivalently, the second to last row as well. (note: the physics in the comic is being simulated on top of the turing machine, so it's not a problem for this comic).

Minor nitpick: Someone who is smart enough to crack quantum mechanics, and build a "manual" computer when alone, should be smart enough to figure out a way to find a source of energy so the computation happens automatically.
