ISLisp, Elisp and Common Lisp are sharing the same core language. ISLisp is basically a simplified Common Lisp (a Lisp-2 with a CLOS-variant and Conditions in the standard). Kent Pitman wrote a compatibility package which allows running ISLisp in CL. Elisp and Common Lisp are both coming from Maclisp, so they share the same core language. Elisp has a lot of further Common Lisp compatibility ( https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/cl/ ), which is widely used in Emacs Lisp code. Standard Lisp is another Lisp, which shares the core language.

Eulisp is long gone. RIP.

> Lisp isn't a language: it's a family of languages.

True. A family of languages which share.

> And the idea that the languages don't share community isn't true.

Very very very little.
Well, except if something's gone wrong and my bills are suddenly shooting up, that's exactly the kind of time when some piece of software might misbehave, and fail to freeze everything. And it's not really very easy to test either.

This seems like the kind of thing you really want to get right, and it will be (I imagine) hard to get right. If it was easy, I would expect some company to offer it (along with, of course, a guarantee that if they mess it up, they will pay my bill).
does it have an indexing text feature?
There are mainly 2 reasons:

* they oversell, so they assume that only small fraction of web servers will consume 100% of resources, while almost every torrent client will consume 100% of the bandwidth. There is nothing wrong with overselling hosting within a reasonable margin, but most of the people here want to run more than a LAMP stack on the server.
* they get too much admin overhead replying to Tor "abuse" letters etc., so they just decided to deal with it in the simplest way possible.

I guess both factors contribute equally.
Chip designers are too paranoid about their source code leaking.

It's more an issue of being able to reproduce an existing build later on. You can't delegate ownership of the toolchain to the "cloud" (read: somebody else's computer) if you think you'll ever need to maintain the design in the future.
Very specifically, with actual knowledge: NCBI insisted on FTP (and still does) because a single prominent professor downloaded a file from web and IE truncated it at 2GB (known bug). Said professor threw a shitfit. This IE bug hasn't been a problem for ~10 years.
This. The asset has a very minimal presence in the physical world (just an encrypted file that is your wallet) so it's pretty easy to make it impossible to prove whether you own any or how many bitcoins.
I have that problem at my current job. The average user is probably 60. Our policy is to tell people that email accounts are free. Our primary concern is that people would recover the password to someone else's account and access data that we only let the other person access.
Which ones do you recommend? Heroine, cocaine? What type of amphetamines? Maybe crack? How about inhalants?

Let me know how this works out for you.
Show HN: Finding contractor, the other way
We have all came across looking for service providers, We know about the pain and how much time we spend on doing it when we can spend that time on something more useful.
Calling them, getting quote, comparing them, asking for price match and do it all over again and at the end we may not be satisfied.

That's why we have invented a new way. Instead of you doing all this work, its easier if you post a request and they come to you (at the end, you are the person who's paying money).
You can find by 4 simple steps:

1) Request you service

2) Receive offer from other users

3) Compare price and feedback

4) Accept an offer

An the good news is, its all for free: https://lentrak.ca

We would greatly appreciate any feedback
Google launches App Maker to help people easily build custom enterprise software
My impression comes from the comments in the undump link that I provided.

To your list of other programs you can add Perl. It comes with a dump command to take a core dump that can be turned into an executable. I never used it as anything other than a joke, but I do know several people who independently used that feature in production back in the 1990s.
In what way? It changes a default, but it only changes namespaces, not security.
I have an account an Gab, with the same handle as my account here. It seems to be growing very quickly and offers keyword-based timeline filters that are far better than what Twitter offers.

I've said it before on HN, but I really think it's a mistake to write off approximately half the country because you disagree with their political positions.
Indeed, architecturally it's just asking for trouble. However it also lets user extend the system in ways that aren't previously planned for. Pros and cons...
It is not likely that this malware is picked up through F-Droid as that 'store' only contains software which was built from source by the store maintainers. Any non-free code is removed from the build before the package is hosted on the download server.

As such an Android device can be used (in a useful way) without having Google Play services (or, for that matter, any other Google apps) installed. I've been doing just that for more than 5 years now without having the feeling I'm missing out on something.

AOSP or a tailor-made Cyanogenmod (with all the Cyanogen-account related stuff removed) plus F-Droid gives you a perfectly usable device.

> Imagine paying a monthly subscription fee just so you can offset the liability when Angular has a security hole. This would run a lot of small shops out of business.

Surgeons are not liable for, for example, hip replacement implants from a decade ago that are now known to have problems, but they would be responsible if they continued using the implants after they were recalled. They also purchase malpractice insurance. How is this any different than following security advisories and purchasing liability insurance?
How does the situation today compare to the late 1800s? Do you have any data? I'm genuinely curious, because heroine use is pretty bad right now.
That's interesting. So, buying a lot of expensive, soon-to-be-obsolete hardware makes your lab more attractive?
Does this work with languages other than English?
Thanks for the perspective! To be fair, we can't claim to have any experience running operations at the scale of thousands and thousands of agents - we think we know a way to get there someday soon.

As a related tangent, one thing we do for a few companies is essentially serve as air traffic control. Even if we can't solve all of the issues and some issues need escalation, we help make sure that it's only one hop away from the right group.
Ask HN: Temporarely increasing expenses
For multiple reasons, I need to increase my business' expenses (solo founder).

I'm already hiring people to improve parts of my site (image editing, copywriting,...) and bought some advertisement (Adwords, FB...).

I was wondering what else will be worth buying now. I'm mostly looking for one-time expense that could have beneficial effects on the business.
This is a very good point, and shows some small thinking on facebook's part. Let's also not forget that regularly, when Facebook/Google/etc launch a feature which is competing with an existing start-up, the start-up often wins (somebody please give me examples here, I'm struggling to come up with any, but I'm quite sure they exist).

Should facebook care if a 3rd party is implementing a feature on their platform vs them supplying it themselves? Facebook's business model is to get data and sell ads. I don't see how this Prisma's live video would affect either of those things negatively.
Honestly, when it comes to learning logic design, if you're not already a programmer you're probably better off.

A C programmer will just spend a lot of time learning why the things they already know how to do are not useful.
How does this in any way negate the comment you are responding to? His point is that people go to Gab because they are thrown out of other venues.

You're just going on about how they deserve to be thrown out.
I think comparing a (NVMe?) SSD solution to a HDD one shows the OPs ignorance of the differing market segments each is going after. They aren't comparable solutions.

Regis – Keep Planning [Techno Music]
I doubt it. I spent over 10 years in the medical devices field and the only reaction we had to candidates coming from companies we knew were in trouble was "hey, this guy's from xxx corp. Must be one of the layoffs we heard about."

I have a hard time seeing it making any difference either way.
Thanks for your thoughts. Looking back my pricing order and strategy does seem a bit awkward. I've changed it so that FREE comes first with the most popular or value-for-money goes in the middle.

I forgot to mention that I have little coding experience and plan to either outsource or look for a technical cofounder for my startup. So that's about as far as I can stretch to when editing my site.

I do want to start out as a free app but have only kept pricing info to test the click through rate.
Will they let you snowmobile your data back out if you want to switch to another cloud provider later? Or is it a one way street, and you pay thru the nose if you want to load your exabytes back out?
imo Cannabis is far and away more physically harmful than LSD and MDMA despite being orders of magnitude more commonly available
I can speak about onboarding and knowledge transfer from the viewpoint of our clients. Usually they give us access to their past tickets and we have an hour long conversation where we ask a million tailored questions. Then clients put us in a sandbox to play where we can't hurt anyone. To fill knowledge and capability gaps, our ops managers pose questions to in-house teams, usually over Slack, but it can be anything. Once everyone is comfortable, they let us out into the world. :)

On the back end, I wish I could brag a little about this, but it is our "secret sauce" so I'm just going to have to say it's proprietary and I believe the beginning of something great.

To directly answer your first question regarding edge cases, it's simple: we don't do them, opting instead to let your in-house team do the complex edge cases. Over time though, we inevitably end up doing some of them as we find commonalities across clients (shipping exceptions, insurance disputes, etc).
It's also very easy to add ad-hoc functionality directly from the editor. You can start with a keyboard macro (F3, do crap, F3, do crap, F4, hit F4 again to do "do crap" as many times as you want) and go all the way up to writin elisp packages. M-x find-function makes it easy to look at the internals of whatever library you're using. defadvice makes it easy to do horrible, but expedient, things and get on with your life. IMHO, if you're not writing at least a little bit of elisp, you're not taking advantage of Emacs's real potential.
I find it interesting that you're willing to say "twat" but not "bastard". I admit that I didn't think of either of those words, though I think they're still much tamer than the ones with "u" in them. Really what I was thinking of was "crap" and "damn".
FGPA = Field Programmable Gate Array.

Basically, you can create a custom "CPU" for your particular workflow. Imagine the GPU didn't exist and you couldn't multiply vectors of floats in parallel on your CPU. You could use a FPGA to write something to multiply a vector of floats in parallel without developing a GPU. It would probably not be as fast as a GPU or the equivalent CPU, but it would be faster than doing it serially.

Another way to put it: you can create a GPU with a FPGA, but not vice versa.
I think things are getting better, the ONC (established under George W' of all people) is leading a lot of efforts to help digitalize healthcare, and tools for security are part of that. The HHS also has a lot of guidelines helping CTO's who are scared of the severe penalties CFR 45 might bring.
This was announced in 8.14 but I thought it was useful explaining how you grow into review apps.
This is not relevant. If a corporation builds a product that kills people, the corporation is responsible. No corporation is responsible for the behaviour of humans.
Actually, those guys make only a tiny slice of the value per click. Banner advertising is a low return game.

Now...if you control the landing page and conversion funnel, basically delivering paid customers (vs. clicks) to a paying merchant, your value per visit goes up by a factor of 10 - 50. $.25/click vs. $10 - $30 (varies by product).

Now imagine a company that launches dozens of offers with hundreds of variations and plows it's bankroll back into the best (most profitable) version (for years at a time).

Yeah, $400MM is possible.

JavaScript: Rules of parsing dates with Date.parse
Surprised actually. If she really did run the company "day to day", seems like she would be in a position to give him the boot (grab the accounts) vs. what actually happened.
Sure - and if you need that, buy that. WHM/Cpanel and Plesk both let you have 100% guaranteed monthly costs with vendor configurable response to over-use of resources. You can get that for $5/month or less - just not from Amazon, because that's not what they sell.

Nobody rings up Caterpillar and complains about the costs of leasing/running/maintaining a D9 'dozer if they're doing jobs that only need a shovel and a wheelbarrow.

Tools for the job. AWS might not be the tool you need. Or might not be the tool you need _yet_.
You need a real, honest-to-goodness launch to get enough feedback and traffic to tell you anything. If you just made it and no one's visiting, then (depending on who your target market is) find someone who can submit it to Product Hunt, and post it here under Show HN. That may take some money to make a presentable, launchable thing (esp. with a brand, a domain, a landing page design, etc.), but it shouldn't run you that much, and if you have taste and patience, you can do it all yourself.

If it's still not making any money after that launch, and you have sufficient feedback to change it to a point where it could, do that. If the feedback isn't promising at all, I'd kill it. But you need to get this thing in front of people who would pay for it first. Do that however you possibly can, and be creative. Those first 100 users aren't easy to get.
When you say something like:

> Nothing in the man's history

then I don't know why you then retort with "well, that was a long time ago." You made a statement that someone was proving false. Heck, you made that statement so broad in an attempt to bolster / underscore your point, so I think it's fair game.

> As for the immigration moratorium from certain regions of the word, or similarly, deportation of undocumented immigrants; these are both things we have done VERY commonly in the past. Hell, Obama has done both. I wouldn't consider either to be racist, would you?

I'm unclear how "Muslim" classifies one as being from a certain region of the world rather than describing their religious affiliation. Could you explain this?

It seems incredible that this is the source code for the $999 product originally destined to be available this year.

I'm extremely familiar with OBD|CAN and car networks - the embedded code alone is an essay in how trivial something can appear (sending commands to a ECU) without considering the million edge cases that make this a safe product to use.
You can indeed! Font Awesome Pro CDN will be free for open source projects. :)

Swift is a great language. I think the benfit comes in when you want to share the logic with another application, personally. I'd make the Apple version Swift + Rust.
I KNEW this was going to be an answer. "OH IN SF YOU HAVE TO PAY SO MUCH MONEY FOR SALARIES so it makes sense if you're in SF." That's ridiculous and you know it is.

Most businesses aren't in SF, most startups aren't even in SF. Yes, I know you think you guys are the center of the world. But there is a reason call centers are in lower income areas and its not because people are just getting around to decentralized support centers.

Amazon has been doing this for.. nearly a decade already? Other companies do this in the Philippines. It has nothing to do with justifying an employee, it has everything to with justifying hiring 3-4 employees (or even 10) rather than one service who is just going to be a glorified answering service.
Improper Session Termination Leading to Account Takeover
Have you checked out vultr? I host my VPS there with no issues and extremely good ping.
Very, as I said you presented it as a source for your very ridiculous claim. Expecting other's to check it is silly, you're unwilling, and the source gives you no reason to believe it's true.
> but you think Trump has opened that flood gate? I don't think I buy that.

I think that Trump opens the floodgates because these people believe that he's on their side (regardless of whether or not he is). Because they believe that, they also see Trump's election / America's support for him as support for their alt-right / white nationalist cause, which makes them more bold.
An interview with the creators of MY AMERICA web series
Believe it or not - many folks coding out there don't even understand the meaning "real time" in this designation. I recall asking some colleagues in a conversation, "So when you say 'real time' do you mean hard or soft?" To which they replied, "Just, real time, like in real time." I gave up pressing the point when I realized they simply meant "interactive" and didn't know such a designation existed.
What do you mean when you say 'services product'? Is that where the person buys the app one off?

EDIT: Forgive my ignorance or how silly of a question that may sound.

I think elides works. The article doesn't directly assert that nobles have been domesticating humans, but does comes close to the implying it here:

"When humans start treating animals as subordinates, it becomes easier to do the same thing to one another. The first city-states in Mesopotamia were built on this principle of transferring methods of control from creatures to human beings...Scribes used the same categories to describe captives and temple workers as they used for state-owned cattle."
We tried doing some Facebook advertising ourselves, but it didn't go so well. Jellop has done better, but they're REALLY great for products that have mass appeal.

With our narrower audience, the Font Awesome website has been the biggest driver.

I am the only one interested in performance? Do these perform like t2 instances (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/t2-instan...) which are burstable and capped? What's are the network limits? Are the disks physical or using EBS?

I don't understand why everybody on this thread is complaining about overages? If you use more than the allocated amount you pay overages, simple idea. Why in the world, would you want your server to just shut down when you reach a limit?

The complexity of that solution. By nature it is very fragile and leads to nasty bugs. But I can see certainly see the benefit of this approach - would be interesting to see this applied to some big frameworks/VMs, such as Java or .NET.
Are there any open source project like this? I would imagine it's a machine learning model to match intent and then a custom NER that extracts slots. I'm sure the actual models are pretrained on lots of data, and the process is probably a lot more complex. Given the abundance of vendors in this space, it has to at least be a possibility .
