I think you can achieve Turing completeness without higher order functions, using only primitive recursion. That tells us that whatever can be calculated with the help of higher order functions can be somehow calculated without them, without resorting to destructive manipulation.

Maybe the public could help them substantially lower the costs by not allowing to advertise prescription drugs to laypeople?

Agree with the GP. There is some massive Stockholm syndrome going on here.

Some countries have well-functioning health care systems since the 18XX, not just since the feel-good story of "Murica is subsidizing other countries because we are such a great nation" became a thing.

Working health care is not rocket science, but it looks like everything that doesn't fit the American narrative of exceptionalism is conveniently ignored these days.

Even tried it on mpg123 and mpg321 on RedHat on a 486 DX66 - I was poor. Didn't fare any better.
> But if that's what the voters want, let them have it.

When the current administration lost the popular vote by millions, it's hardly what "voters" want. The electoral college was a hedge against populism. Yet it's been twisted to work FOR populist platforms by gerrymandering districts such that only a Republican has a fair shake, and the state then awards them their votes.

Notions that the people of any country have the government they deserve is nonsense. First past the post voting, special interest lobbying, and just plain ignorant politicians marginalize a lot of voices.

This is such a weird reply. If you are talking about where you'd rather live, then it makes sense to talk about all things given you like your choice.

Even that doesn't add up. First of all, I bet that figure represents only the debt specific to this China deal, on top of whatever other debt they already had. Secondly, Djibouti's GDP was $1.7 billion (or thousand million in British wording), but the only debt figure stated was $14 billion as China's overall investment. That's like 800% of GDP using those raw figures. The truth is probably somewhere else.
Arguably, it's what failed to happen; Hitler ended up leading a minority government with the largest party (well, tied with the Communists), no one acted as kingmaker with a small party putting some other coalition over the top extracting concessions for that boost.

There was kingmaking of a more personal kind going on behind the scenes, but not of the minor-party-exercises outsized influence kind.

I remember the days when MooTools was hot^H^H^H^H useful enough to be bundled in Joomla.

Learning JavaScript while fiddling with it was really fun in 2009 when I was about to graduate from high school.
Aaron Newton's jqueryvsmootools was an eye opener when I first read it and David Walsh's blog was really helpful in the early days.

I still like to follow some of its contributors (mainly Dimitar Christoff and Chris Pojer).
on my trusted computer with my GPG key, I ran 'keybase device add', selected option 1 ("desktop or laptop") and it asked me to enter the "verification code" from the other device. It also said, "to get a verification code, run 'keybase login' on your other device", but I'm certain that I just clicked some buttons in the GUI instead of running that command.
I played MP3's on a 486 DX4/100mhz. There was a setting in winamp I had to turn on (I think it was quality related) otherwise it would stutter and be generally unlistenable. Even with that setting turned on it pegged the CPU at about 100% the computer was unusable for anything else while the mp3 was playing. Trying to seek in the track would sometimes crash winamp.

My Pentium 166 on the other hand was much more capable I could multitask while playing Mp3's (I used to play mp3's and Quake at the same time).
Testing ORM code by recording SQL
One time when I worked at NeXT I accidentally kicked my cube with my tennis shoe - it was under my desk. Sparks flew. I told the fellow sitting in the next office what had happened - and he wanted to see it too. We both laughed as we watched sparks flying. Before long there was a crowd around my desk - maybe six people - incredulous that it was so easy to create fireworks. Well, what we didn't know was that Steve was sitting about 3 feet away - behind an office divider. His head peeked around the divider - and he silently watched the sparks flying. We all stopped laughing and returned to our work.

Next morning everyone in the company had a paper memo on their desks (the only one I ever remember - we all used email.) It said that cubes were to be properly displayed on top of desks only. No mention of the real reason for the new policy.

Yes and the average page size has sky-rocketed, despite there being no more actual content (i.e. text). Instead we have animations of images or text fading in as we scroll down a page and lots of Javascript to do things I do not know.

Kind of makes me miss the old plain HTML days - much less CPU intensive too.

Here's the thing, though. We don't even get a choice. I tried for YEARS to engineer a long-term part-time career in the software industry, and I couldn't get it to happen. I'm perfectly happy to trade more free time for less money, but there are just no takers out there. The industry isn't interested.

> Application process shouldn't be based on acceptance/rejection, but rather a process. Startups should be encouraged to apply, and continue to update their progress with YC.

This is a good idea. Look out for some announcements from us soon: https://twitter.com/sama/status/821538708943880193

I've been rejected 4 times too. It doesn't feel good, but you need to be able to take these things in your stride and keep going. Startups are a grind.

> In fact, I've never encountered a human during the entire application process. Everything was very automated: submit an application, then rejection with zero feedback.

I can guarantee you that multiple people look at every single application. This is actually part of the reason it's hard to give feedback to everyone who applies (let alone the sheer volume) - the reasons for rejection can vary between reviewers. After all the scores are tallied, there's no single individual who can speak to why a given application didn't make the cut.
Seems to me like an inequality-driven issue. In other words, it's caused by the prevailing political paradigm in the country.

The various departments, along with the whole government, just embody the prevailing paradigm. But it's pretty common in this country to shoot the messenger. (X) Whereas the real problem is with some of the political and social beliefs shared by vast numbers of citizens.

---

(X) - "guv'mint is baad! down with it!" No, government is what you all make it. It's a reflection of the contents of your shared mentality. If you think it's bad and you want to fix it, start with a look in the mirror.
Debt as a proportion of GDP is less of a problem when a nation owes it mostly in its own currency to its own citizens, mind you.

Common Lisp has a functional argument in every library function that takes a :test and/or :key. (Even if these are not specified, they are understood to have functional default values like #'identity and #'eql). And of course apply, mapcar and other applicator friends have a functional arguments. All these things tend to be front-and-center in everyday Lisp programming, hardly "also have" features.

How do you know President Trump is not fully aware of what's happening and the PR game. It's a win-win for him, since it encourages more companies to invest in US infrastructure. I don't think you're giving enough credit.

Actually, I think you made that too easy. Microsoft itself has lots of legacy drivers - probably thousands. Changing them would require finding, recompiling, retesting, and redistributing all of them at best. That's certain to be expensive, and may not even be possible in all cases, so you're probably not going to do it.

So how would you fix this without changing any drivers from any vendor that have already been released?

Also keep in mind that this is a minor convenience feature that most people will rarely see, so you probably don't have a massive budget.
What you were doing is advocating Rust in a C++ thread, again. Safety first, and all that. Congratulations on getting voted to the top of this topic, but it's tiresome.

Let's pretend C++ is a car. I get in my car, and I drive somewhere. Yes, there are hundreds of thousands of accidents per year, but really, most people get where they want to go, and we aren't all dead. I've had my share of fender benders, but no RCE has ever been exploited in 25 years of my C or C++ code.

Let's pretend Rust is a car. Half the time I want to go somewhere, I can't even get out of the driveway before I stumble into a limitation of the language or the standard libraries. One time it's overly strict coherence rules that forbid me from doing something that shouldn't break coherence [1]. Some other time it's because the standard library doesn't have a trait for a commonly implemented method, so I can't write a generic function to call that method. Yet another time, I find out you really can't accomplish the task without writing unsafe code, so the compiler really wasn't going to protect me from myself anyways [2].

So yeah, Rust is saving me from car accidents because I don't even make it to the road much less my destination half the time. Do you drive wearing a 5 point harness and a helmet? Do you really think a true expert couldn't make a safe C++ regex library?

--

[1] Honestly, I think you guys are screwed on that one. I suspect you're going to have to break backwards compatibility to really fix it, so I believe you'll leave it broken instead.

[2] Outside of FFI calls, I have no idea what rules I'm supposed to respect in an unsafe block. I guess I just can't drive my Rust car to that neighborhood then. Very safe indeed.
Nothing secret. China as a country generates lots of savings and the money that is parked with government(banks) needs to be deployed to generate returns. So it will get invested all over the world.

Docker runs natively on Windows as well as Linux, with no hypervisor. There is a Solaris port being worked on (unless it got cancelled). We would love an upstream FreeBSD port, I have talked to a few people who are interested in working on it. The ZFS side should be fine as there is already support, and the old port should be useful as a basis.
I still love MooTools. It should be where jQuery is with regard to mindshare.

Yes. I agree with you, but I think team dynamics are more complicated than that.

Ah, brings me back to decades ago when we sold and supported custom DOS apps - we would force the installers to change the time of the .EXE file to match the installed version number, e.g. 01:00 am for version 1.0, 01:13am for version 1.13 etc.

That way we thought we could tell which version the user was using over the phone by asking them to do a DIR (useful if they couldn't start the application to see the version number in there).

Of course, this system rapidly broke down because users would copy the files across to different floppies or hard drives, causing the file dates to be reset to whatever it was at the time!
The subject of how bad Slack's search is comes up all the time in talking to friends and co-workers, and I wonder if the described ranking changes are enough.

Usually when I'm searching, I'm looking for a particular message, possibly even one I read earlier that day, and I may know a few things about it, like who sent it and that it had an important link, but I still can't necessarily find it! The results are also presented in a giant cartoony way that makes me page through many pages. Tokenizing my search into "keywords" means that even if I know a substring of what I'm looking for, it doesn't come up as relevant, or the tokenizer tokenized the text differently. This is also why GitHub search can't find a lot of things.

What I would want in a search experience is the equivalent of Control-F over the list of messages I've actually seen.
