As a born NZ citizen as well, are you serious? More rich people that are - generally speaking - racist, sexist, anti-democracy and have tendencies to sue news organizations into the ground while calling it "charity"? He can ultimately do what he wants, but I don't think we need more of these types of people.
That's the exact opposite of what it means. Additionally F# already is the best-tooled functional language on the market as far as I can tell, so I look forward to whatever is coming to make it even better.
Any deviation from the norms of English calls attention to itself, and distracts from the meaning. This can be done by great writers, but always with reason.

Good writing reveals something about the reader.
Bad writing reveals something about the writer.

However since you now seem to agree that it's pretentious, which was my original point, I'll leave it there.
I feel like I'm missing something. His argument seems to be "the JVM isn't heavy compared to other large and bloated systems". Well... sure. My car isn't heavy when compared to a tank, but if I want light, I'll use my bike.
Lisp is by far the most interactive language there is with the fastest iteration times (AFAIK).

That's Forth. Lisp comes next.

1 Funded Immigrant Founder = 159 U.S. Jobs
By most accounts, on average, immigration is never a burden. At worst, it's a short term burden and a long term benefit.
The accusation that Palmer was incapable of creating the Rift without Carmack's help and that he had a barely functional prototype, if true, is pretty insulting to Carmack. Carmack is a smart guy and I every much doubt he'd have joined on at CTO if the prototype was as awful as ZeniMax says it was.
It isn't legal - he was granted an exception to the rules after being denied because he had a change of heart and donated $700m - for the first time ever - to the disaster fund, then applied again immediately. In NZ you must actually live there to gain citizenship, even if you pay.
8-columns, however, makes it clear why the ASR-33 had "!" over "1".

Which makes it clear why the Apple I, II and II+ did the same.
And what is the contact to write you :)? I'm interested in your vacancy, but at website found only clients support. Thanks

yea I was surprised too. I vaguely remember now but the person checking the boarding pass just took it and not sure if they actually ran it through the scanner. Sometimes, they just manually tear one portion of the boarding pass.
I'd like to see reuters/AP etc. not only take the same approach, but even use the same language to US reporting as they do in other "regimes". Here's a slate.com series that I thought was doing a great job but for some reason hasn't continued into the Trump regime.

e.g. When Justice Scalia died:

WASHINGTON, United States—The unexpected death of a hard-line conservative jurist on America’s constitutional court has exposed deep fissures within the ruling regime and threatens to throw the country’s fragile political system into months of chaos.

Binti | San Francisco, CA | Software Engineer | Full-time, onsite, will transfer H-1B | $100K – $140K, 0.25% – 1.0%

Binti makes software for foster care and adoption agency staff to improve their daily workflow so they can make better-informed decisions and spend more of their time actually helping people. Our mission is to find a safe, loving, and stable family for every child.

Binti's software is used by private adoption agencies in 30 states. We're in the midst of expanding into serving government foster care agencies and are close to reaching two-thirds of the foster care families in the state of California.

We have sustainable revenue, fanatical customers, and ample seed funding from top investors like First Round, Kapor, and Lowercase. We work together in SF and are growing rapidly.

Binti's main SaaS web product is a conventional monolithic Rails/Postgres app that delivers value in heaps and heaps, and remains super fun to hack on. We're building the monolith up higher and higher, and looking forward to soon chipping off a service or two (perhaps in Elixir?). Some of the areas in which we are especially seeking to round out our engineering team include devops, security, and compliance (we're seeking a full-stack engineer interested in contributing in these areas early on - whether or not you are already an expert). We're using Kubernetes/Google Cloud.

https://binti.com/binti-careers/software-engineer/

Also we will be posting a couple of non-technical/quasi-technical roles shortly, please keep an eye on https://binti.com/binti-careers/ .

> Beyond that, the Common Lisp package system doesn't cooperate the way you'd like it to

I'm pretty sure that it is, and that generally in my package I would import bar from libraryA & foo from libraryB and not have to qualify the names.

It's only in the case that both packages export a symbol with the same name that one is forced to disambiguate.

I'd say that Lisp's package system is very close to perfect — it really does work well.
>A direct, honest response is far more mature way to handle it than being acting annoyed by the question. I could respect a candidate telling me directly that the question is insulting.

Then the interview quickly turns into a robotic caricature straight out of an HR manual. Why make the whole situation awkward and probably tank the interview just to state the obvious.
Edit:
At the top since I think it may qualify my comments: I think there's a causation/correlation incongruity in this, the parent, and the grandparent posts. Telomere lengthening can lead to cancer; getting cancer is not necessarily a "sure-fire way to increase telomere length"

"Cancer" is an unbelievably broad term. Generally speaking, expression of telomerase and maintenance of telomeres is seen in (many) cancers. The background behind this is that as telomeres shorten with each cell replication, they get to a point where they are too short, and the cell stops dividing. Cancer occurs when cells that are not supposed to divide keep dividing.
> However, the jury also found Wednesday that Oculus didn’t violate any trade secrets. Instead, it ruled that Luckey, who was working as a contractor for Zenimax before starting the Kickstarter for the Oculus Rift headset, violated his non-disclosure agreement, according to a Polygon report.

I don't understand how this works. Why does Facebook have to pay $500M over an NDA violation between an individual and his previous company? It seems like ZeniMax should only have a case against Palmer Luckey.
Just wonder how much to buy the NZ citizenship? So I could start saving!
Why was my comment transphobic? It seems the common riposte in today's political climate is to use some kind of derogative label if the other person doesn't fit your exact worldview.

The file format/After Effects exporter used is from:

which was pretty simple to use.

I saw Lottie first, found bodymovin, and had an After Effects animation in our React app in about 15 minutes.

A long quote from wikipedia:

"Fascists believe that liberal democracy is obsolete, and they regard the complete mobilization of society under a totalitarian one-party state as necessary to prepare a nation for armed conflict and to respond effectively to economic difficulties. Such a state is led by a strong leader—such as a dictator and a martial government composed of the members of the governing fascist party—to forge national unity and maintain a stable and orderly society. Fascism rejects assertions that violence is automatically negative in nature, and views political violence, war, and imperialism as means that can achieve national rejuvenation. Fascists advocate a mixed economy, with the principal goal of achieving autarky through protectionist and interventionist economic policies."

When I read that I see elements of fascism in many governments around the world, with very few of them coming close to the definition.

Even so, you could fairly easily set up a number of points to check off on and score a government (and by extension) it's supporters on a scale from 'definitely not fascist' to 'definitely fascist'.

The question then becomes at what point on that scale it becomes reasonable to call a government fascist and to call a support of that government a fascist. I'm pretty sure we're not there yet but I am also pretty sure that we are slowly but surely sliding in that direction.

Using the term fascism is like a shot in the arm, it tries to wake up the organism that it is directed at that it is getting ill and needs to fend off some viral element. Unfortunately usually the opposite happens and instead the recipient will wall themselves off from the provider of the message. Even so, I guess that even fascism light is dangerous and ugly enough that plenty of people would not be caught dead being labeled a fascist, especially not when there is some hard evidence that it is so.
That's just Hello World, though. He said his app was parsing a 20 MB file.

To do a fair comparison, with your example, I just compiled and ran Hello World in Java on my machine and got this:

> We like to think we live in a world with one set of rules

Different people, and hence different societies, have different values. These values, which vary over time, give rise to systems of laws. I wouldn't want to be bound by a different culture's system of values.

On the topic at hand, most countries have an "investor visa" [1] or "extraordinary person" exception [2]. Even some EU countries grant citizenship in exchange for investment [3]. Economic prerogatives matter.

OP is impressed by running 5 processes at once while claiming that the JVM is not that heavy.

Is this cognitive dissonance? Dishonesty? I don't understand.
Though if you read Art of the Deal or have studied how Trump operates, his initial position on anything is always more than he wants. So they "backpedaled" on green cards and legal visas and still have what they really wanted.
Be aware that there may be legal ramifications for paying your employees to work on political campaigns.

This just feels nasty. It feels like left-leaning media outlets (note: I'm left leaning) are scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to discredit anyone who has the gall to disagree with their narrative that Trump is a disaster (note: I think Trump is a disaster, so far).

I don't much care for Peter Thiel. I didn't exactly mind that he funded legal action against Gawker in itself, what bothers me there is the same thing that bothers me about this:

Money should not affect the outcomes of legal actions, directly or indirectly. Similarly, money should not allow you to become a citizen of a country you've never lived in, on a whim.

Sadly we're not close to removing money from the equation in either of those areas (and many more), and we probably never will be.

All of that aside, Thiel's use of his money to get a leg up is a symptom of the problem, not the cause. It's one example among a sea of examples. And the only reason it's getting this level of scrutiny is because Thiel has taken "unpopular" stances.

Our host, Paul Graham, talks about his first successful startup sometimes. It's ViaWeb, now Yahoo Stores, and it made him the rich investor he is today.

He edited the code live on the production server sometimes. And he did it in the repl, not by editing source files, so he didn't even have a record of what he changed that could go into version control.

When you're nimble and you need every advantage to compete, sometimes you have to be able to do things the hard way.

Not that I would recommend it; every ethical programmer in the galaxy has denounced the practice. And they have good reasons.
Well that's reassuring since it doesn't appear to be an argument for eugenics at all.
Peter Thiel has demonstrated a willingness to use his money to influence politics in the US. If he now does the same in NZ, is that now not a "foreign influence" on their country? Just because he did some paperwork and bought himself citizenship?
Trump's is/was a womanizer. I don't think that's in doubt. While that is a bad quality in a person I would distinguish this from criminal actions like deleting subpoenaed evidence.

Hillary's actions still haven't drawn the coverage that was deserved. A lot of them (see my top-level comment) would individually be deemed a national scandal had it been Trump.
As a born US citizen, I welcome people like Thiel leaving. I'm glad he was able to buy his citizenship, and we could do with less like him.

>He did ban Muslims, just not all of them (yet.)

When Obama bombed those very same countries was he bombing Muslims? Isn't that genocide?
So why use Mechanical Turk in the first place? Turkers will work for a single penny in many cases.

Exactly what I was looking for: the cold brutal logic of captialism. It's all good if it's low-cost.

Even after all of this you will still get bad answers.

...yes, of course, you're not paying for quality, you're paying for quantity and to reduce your costs. If you were paying for quality you would put up a few posters on college campuses and pay more.
"You shouldn't. Instead you should hire all 10 other candidates to do the job that it would take me to do."
In a random facebook post, yes absolutely. Still possible but not as bad in person, over coffee or beer. Even less likely when it's a person you have to work with for weeks or months to come to an agreement.

People believe things for reasons. Eventually everybody understands everybody else's reasons. They may not agree, but by understanding the nature of disagreement, you can usually find a way.
+1 for nix. _nix-shell_ is a great way to get stuff up and running without having to wrestle with the container boundry.
You can download the IPA itself and check (they're just zips). Spoiler alert is that the binary (unzipped) is 130mb, but I think this contains multiple architectures.
The parent did write "parsing a 20 MB file". So not a hello world.
If you're wondering "why not ^Q then Enter?", that gets you CR or ^M, but in UNIX, newline or ^J is what gets you to the next line.

So, yes, you normally push CR to enter the LF character.

The confusions between CR and LF run deep and wide, even in the UNIX world.
What makes you believe Thiel is racist or sexist?

Also, the idea of rich people/foundations/etc supporting lawsuits for ideological reasons is hardly new. Do you similarly oppose the Southern Poverty Law Center, who successfully filed (valid) lawsuits against the Aryan Nations with the goal of shutting them down? Or the Conservation Law Foundation, and all their donors?

Isn't that about the initial motion to dismiss from 2015?
And yet, the list of news media that biases "Right" seems to be pretty accurate, despite the big disclaimer at the top of the page. Are you disputing the data, or the concept that you can accurately measure bias?
"Different rules for very, very rich" is the basic theme.

If that's the world you want to live in, then yeah, I guess there's no story here.
> It isn't legal

It appears the Internal Affairs Department may legally approve citizenship under "exceptional circumstances". And he is not alone: "one to two dozen [applicants] a year...are approved for citizenship by the minister of internal affairs under 'exceptional' circumstances" [1].

I don't see the argument you're making.

A free citizen has a right to keep their tax documents private. We can't feel entitled about that.
I'd also pay for this to happen.
CNN said “it’s illegal to possess these stolen documents [the Hilary emails from wikileaks]. It’s different for the media. So everything you learn about this, you’re learning from us.”
Thats fake and a lie, and they were exposed quickly about that.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/201...
CNN winning is merely them echoing the majority sentiment of the polls, maybe with a dash of hope thrown in.

Ironically this may have done Clinton in with people thinking well, if she's won already then I don't need to go and vote.

Hindsight is always 20/20, it is very easy to see Clinton winning as a 'narrative' pushed with an agenda whereas based on the data available to them that simply made good sense.

> I suspect the real reason people keep pushing apps is they are much more monetizable rather than taking the user into account.

Exactly. With an app you get full control over the users experience. No adblockers, no tracker disabling extensions (e.g., Privacy Badger), none of the benefits of a simple website. What about immigrants who can't afford a smartphone and use a computer at a public library?

If you want to be seen as the StackOverflow of immigration, providing an Android/IOS-only experience instead of simply requiring a modern web browser is either short sighted or suspicious — why do you need people to install your software?
Microsoft was founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen. They have, and do, sell products and services. Celebrating Warren Buffet is analogous to celebrating someone who was a provider of capital to Microsoft rather than the people who provided the products and services. The people who found and build companies are "Makers". Warren Buffet is not a "Maker", he profits off of "Makers".
That should be required reading in high school.

I don't work on projects where Docker is useful in production, but I've found it tremendously useful in continuous integration. It guarantees a reproducible environment, which a VM could do, but just as importantly it documents how to produce that environment from scratch. I've found that hugely valuable.

I've always liked the idea of Nix but I've never used it. How easy is it to extract and understand the details of the environment you've constructed to build your project?
