You can get much much cheaper gold just by typing in buy rs gold in the search
This is true, though I don't consider this gold buying since you first have to buy something first and sell it in game, rather than directly buying gold. It's not direct gold buying, but bonds are made exactly for this purpose. They are made to prevent players from buying gold from a scamsite and give them the opportunity to pay for gold. (instead of earn gold ingame) I just noticed that person looks like he/she is selling gold on the profile though. the profile looks indeed kinda sketchy, the question is still valid for any person who wonders the same thing. If this person uses her account for goldfarming/RWTign jagex will most likely ban her.

You can get much much cheaper gold just by typing in buy rs gold in the search bar when you open net explorer, key words: BUYING GOLD. I believe the going rate for gold now is 0.35$ to 0.50$ per mil and PAuctions is completly safe for example..

>could it be you haven't yet realized it's actually not worthless?

could be, I didn't even run it, but the problem is your implementation limited by underlying platform and if it wasn't made with lisp in mind (and this is the case) result will have tons of limitations.

>would you elaborate what exactly makes clojure a parasite on jvm?

Maybe it's ok for JVM, but I can tell you what makes it less lisp (and the reason is parasitism): absence of tail recursion.
I might be in the minority here, but "fighting unfamiliar syntax" seems like a lazy argument to me. I've played around with many languages, and after getting used to the first non-c family syntax (in my case, Scheme) it never bothered me anymore.
There are valuable lessons I've learned from other languages and I don't think I could have learned them if I would have stayed in the language I was comfortable in at the time. It's much more difficult (in my mind) to try novelty when you have ingrained habits already.
And the quality of that code is usually crap, so you get what you paid for as the more talented of these offshore workers will go to the US or another country with high salaries. This quality may be "acceptable" in enterprise contexts, but in small business or selling direct to the customer it's still much better to hire local devs.

There is also a project management overhead cost to outsourcing that must not be ignored and is prohibitive for smaller companies.

If we want to get anecdotal, across many different companies the only place I've seen outsourcing work is in a huge enterprise and only with several expensive and highly trained local devs cleaning up the crap. Otherwise it's just not worth it. AI will take our jobs long before outsourcing does.

I absolutely agree with the silliness behind "you've ignored the latest advances!" and I also know that the latest advances in research very often yield no advances in practice. I also agree that mocking other languages is usually a sign for having little experience with many project and team types, and with not being able to see the bigger picture.

But that doesn't mean that you can't discuss the tradeoffs, or that they're just subjective preferences. Someone who really understands Rust would never say that GCs are an anachronism, as they would be very much aware of the cost Rust pays for the ability to maintain safety when a GC can't be used. But that's not a subjective preference, either. A language like Rust knowingly sacrifices convenience and development speed to be able to target certain kinds of applications.

Ekari is an Indonesian language, and Drabbe is an author of a Dutch book on the language, so I assume Ekari-Drabbe refers to the transliteration of the spoken Ekari language to the Dutch (English-ish) alphabet according to Drabbe's method.

This is probably an off-by-one error. The ISO 639-3 code for Ekari is ekg, and modern Greek's code is ell. I don't know where you found this on the disk, but you should contact the project with the details and let them know so they can correct it.
Pretty good advice, along with some good pointers about what NOT to do when learning a languages (ex. reading some instructional book cover-to-cover, forgetting most of the stuff along the way).

I often suggest the read-a-chapter-write-a-program-based-on-it route, just to get the practice that is really important, and to solidify some intuition as to what the machine (whether interpreter or bare metal) is doing, and to make writing future programs easier.

Side note: While I definitely applaud the idea of trying to create a language that is geared towards beginners and good for learning on, I don't know if I can get behind recommending such a language that is still under development being suggested to beginners.

Then again, I'd consider recommending lisps to beginners (if not python), so maybe I'm not the most credible source

I don't say this in a rude way, I just say it because I don't understand: it baffles me that the election of Donald Trump caused people to notice certain things.

If you are worried about government surveillance now, why were you not worried about that same power under a different administration? If you are worried about corporate overreach now, why were you not worried about that power under a different administration? Why is this fear more valid now then when people were worried four years ago? Did you not notice it? Is it because those people weren't on your side? Do we assume benevolent dictators?

I genuinely don't understand the mindset. If you know that in the future power may be abused by someone...why would you ever give someone that power? What caused this vast attention shift? It's genuinely smart people that seem to be noticing this stuff for the first time. How?

Car is not 100% safe even with human driver. If a tech makes less mistakes than a human, then the tech is better. It's your responsibility to chose what is better: you, the tech, or a taxi driver.

IMHO, every self-driving car must be equipped with a black-box to capture all information in case of an accident and special commission for investigation, to make rules to follow, so self-driven cars will be safer for others, and that is all. Self-driven system manufacturer can be punished only if these rules are not followed, by suspending a license to manufacture self-driving systems. Currently, we have almost no such rules at all.

IMHO, the first rule for self-driving cars, until they will be mature, must be better communication between computer and human: as driver, I want to see how computer sees road and obstacles, and planned actions, and other variants of these actions to pickup. I want computer to project computer map to wind-shield and be presented with tree buttons: big red «stop» button, left button, and right button, so I will be able to see road situation, computer understanding of that situation, and will be able to correct computer or make a full stop.
Interesting - you state that you really do not need handling because you are either driving slowly on residential roads or you are driving on 'freeways' that are built properly and therefore do not need cars with this mystery 'handling' ingredient.

This is true, and the U.S. road network evolved this way, with cars evolving to suit the 'freeway' or the little road to get to the 'freeway'.

In Europe we have an entirely different type of road network, ours does have fast motorways and dual carriageways where 'handling is not needed'. However, the bulk of the network is the older type of network where this handling thing does matter. In fact, we kind of chuckle with embarrassment at the sight of U.S. cars and their crude engineering. In a narrow country lane when the 325i meets the U.S. soccer-mom lard-mobile, you know that the guy in the 325i will be the one flicking into reverse and backing up to a passing point.

There were certainly Obama's voters that were disappointed by what Obama did, after he previously spoke differently. They have thought along these lines of the article:

The problem is only having a binary choice when the both options don't look good.
Thank you. I tend to do interactive mathy things, and find the infix being the default at the repl cuts down on keystrokes and speeds up the interaction. Anything within {} curly braces is treated as infix, and infix is the starting mode at the repl. You can freely mix (prefix) and {infix} as you wish. For longer math expressions this does tend to help readability.

From the top Amazon review on The Manga Guide to Databases:

"STORY: A friend loaned me this book to show her, so I gave it to her and asked her to try it. If she read the first 10 pages and it was boring, she should stop. If she liked it, she could keep it until she was done. She opened it on the spot and was 20 pages in before she realized she still was standing in the middle of our kitchen. One day later, she was finished and said it was "cool" and that she liked it.

I asked her if she learned anything or if it was just a story and she started talking. She said a little bit and talked about tables and how information is stored in columns and rows. She talked in a 9 year old's language and vocabulary, but basically explained to me the concept and benefits of centralized data stored in a single database. She made a couple other comments whose specifics I can't remember, but clearly articulated database ideas. It was somewhat surreal hearing these things come from a 3rd grader's mouth. She didn't feel like she had learned very much. I told her I probably could count on my fingers how many people at my work (300 people total - manufacturing industry, not IT) knew more about databases than she did, based on what she had finished telling me."

> You can't easily diff separate configs.

Reminding me of one of the little niceties of Gobolinux.

You have a pristine pr version config copy sitting in the main dir, and a package-wide settings dir. It also provides a command (implemented as a shell script, as is most of Gobolinux tools) that gets run upon installing a new package version.

If said command detects a difference between existing and new config files it gives you various options. You can have it retain all the old files, replace them with the new files, or even bring up a merged file that give you the new lines as comments next to the old ones.
For global stats, it's not that bad.
Solid advice!

I think learning is more about structuring knowledge than merely memorizing the facts. The more you understand how and why something works, the easier it becomes to structure that knowledge. Then learning as a whole just becomes a simple composition of understanding the parts.

Music theory is very well organized in that respect. There are very few core concepts to learn (notes, intervals, scales) and everything else is built by composing them. Our theory can be seen as the same (values, functions, objects) and Lisp somewhat embodies it. Music just has the advantage of time to organize that knowledge.

I feel this is also why learning new abstract concepts over time is harder, because you need to shake a large subset of that knowledge tree you've built over time to fully understand their implications.
While I generally agree with your statement, I would avoid learning too many languages as a beginner. I use 2-3 languages regularly which is fine. As long as I start using others at the same time my productivity drops significantly as I have to think more about syntax and names.

I think as a beginner it's great to learn a language in each domain (e.g. HTML, JS, SQL, Erlang). That way you always have a language to solve a task at hand, but don't confuse them. You also avoid spending too much time thinking about which language to choose for a specific task, when it mostly doesn't matter anyway.
> tons of limitations

but that would only matter if those limitations outweighed the advantages of developing with lisp?

> absence of tail recursion

so from "clojure is worthless parasite on jvm" we're down to "clojure is a lisp which i haven't tried yet but it's on jvm so i think it lacks tail recursion"

good enough, peace.

I think the parent post was confusing multimedia with technology.

And honestly the hardware for multimedia in Teslas is already outdated. Tesla is updating their platform at a much higher cadence than most cars, but they still haven't escaped the impedance mismatch between multimedia hardware which gets outdated in a year, and cars, which are outdated over much longer periods.

What is "web diagnostics" about ?
No, not exactly. An adversary who has the old hash, but not the plaintext that it represents cannot login because scrypt(H(H(value))) != scrypt(H(value)). This is not considering the offline crackability of a compromised hash. But there are legitimate situations where upgrading the password backing to a modern slow hash is preferable to continuing to use the old hash or worse storing the old hash as a field for a long time so that when a breach happens both the new and old hashes are available.

There are user experience battles when talking about forcing a million users to change their passwords in a real system. Hashing the hash may be vastly preferable to management nixing the security upgrade. A password updating schema that changes the hash as users login and eventually locking the accounts of users who have not logged in for an extended period of time can accomplish rolling the hashes without having to tell users to change their passwords.
I'm wondering the same thing. Nearly every other metric I've seen puts desktop Linux between 3% and 4%. I'd imagine that paranoid Linux users would be undercounted because they're less likely to let Mozilla collect stats on them. And of course, Firefox stats wouldn't include ChromeOS.

Still <1% seems awfully low. We're rare but we're not that rare.
How much abuse can Cross-Laminated Timber take?
I agree, it’s a simple tool. As mentioned in the README, it’s not a full-featured ORM, but it does more than building queries as it maps Go structs with databases content (on this point I disagree as it use objects).

The purpose is to be more productive than doing all this job manually.

Many things can be improved, it's sill a young project. This project is initially a learning one : doing stuff to improve my skill, on my spare time. I tried to build something clean, and used it on some real data. Perhaps it could be useful for somebody else. Nothing more ;)

Razorpay (YC W15) Is Hiring Senior Back End Engineer
It's hard, in this situation, to say what "Wells Fargo" really wanted since Wells Fargo is just a corporation without any brain of it's own. I'd be perfectly willing to believe that Upper Management would have been horrified at the situation if they'd known. But at the same time this seems to have been pretty widespread within some level of lower management.

Which one is really Wells Fargo? That's not a question with a real answer unless you specify why you're asking. From the perspective of an investor it would be wise to treat upper management as the real Wells Fargo. But for a customer the fraudy bits are the ones you're interacting with.
