Not quite. In Lisp, when you get an error, the system pauses and lets you resolve the issue before resuming the program. Sometimes this even means typing in a function really quickly before a request times out (which isn't such an insane suggestion in the context of development). In Clojure, errors like that unwind the stack and tear everything down.
> But I'm curious if common lisp has some way of completing a "round trip edit" such that an edit/correction made on a server process, in situ, are able to be easily propagated back to your master source?

In SLIME you just connect to the Lisp process, open up your versioned-controlled file, edit it, hit C-c C-c for slime-compile-defun or C-c C-k for slime-compile-and-load-file. Isn't that how CIDER works also?
totally true, if you're google, however if you're a startup, and build your platform on react, it would be really hard to switch to other platform once you have million of lines of code.
> The reason they do pay for the cleanings is that it's probably cheaper than paying for the increased fillings and root canals that they would incur if people skipped the routine cleanings.

Actually, no, they reason they do is because they're usually subsidized by employers providing the plans. In other words, it'd be equivalent to the employer reimbursing a portion of your regular dental care that you pay for out-of-pocket. The expected reduction in cost for the insurer due to routine cleanings is negligible from their perspective.

If you purchase dental insurance individually, these treatments are very rarely covered, or if they are, the price under insurance is usually about the same as the price without insurance. Which makes sense from a risk model - when there is literally no risk at hand, the price under insurance should actually be higher than the uninsured price, by a tiny amount.

The venison from deer so culled goes to feed homeless folks in their town. From [1]:

After reduction operations, the National Park Service tests the deer to make sure they don't have Chronic Wasting Disease before the venison is donated to local food banks. The NPS has donated approximately 7,300 pounds of venison to DC Central Kitchen since beginning deer management in 2013.

I wonder if the vigileers know that. Or whether they care. Or whether they'd even approve.

I think you're proposing to start... an insurance company.
I first wanted to agree with you, but then I thought: If a business executive writes a book which is built around some kind of encouraging mantra, then isn't this an explicit (or at least implicit) choice to become a thought leader?

However, I am unsure whether she fits into the narrative of this piece, as her thought leadership would just be a side effect and result of her business career in a male-dominated industry.
Sexual assault != rape.

Case in point, I've had a random person grab my junk at a gay bar. Technically that's sexual assault, but it's a pretty far cry from rape.

> If you're worried about potential dates being turned off by the bald head and bulging stomach, won't they be turned off when they meet you in person?

Depends on what they are looking for, really. You would be surprised at how many PEOPLE, both men and women, are lonely and looking for companionship. And its very easy to swipe but meeting in person you tend to notice other attractive qualities.

I agree it is misleading and a little deceptive though. Personally, I don't do it, but I'm trying to explain how it may not be the worst thing in the world to do it.
You use async/await when you are doing any sort of IO in an application that needs to be responsive. Example: your ASP.NET thread pool is starved because all your request threads are waiting on IO. It's useless to have those threads waiting there for IO when they could be processing other requests to your server.

You're obviously going to see some overhead from the state machines generated, but that's negligible compared to the gains you'll see in throughput and code readability(compared to the older ways of doing async code).

The same reasoning extends to UWP, don't block your main thread with IO so it can still process input. Obviously there's other ways to handle async in a desktop app, but async/await just make it so much easier to reason about your async code. It looks exactly like you're writing synchronous code.
You don't refactor if you don't have tests, or rather you do and you break stuff and take on a lot of risk. The reality is a lot of developers aren't working in teams with others and working on software that has a long future ahead of it, hacker news tends towards the smaller teams with short runways and its write it and throw it away as a strategy rather than refactoring.
I would submit, respectfully, that you're not being creative enough.

When it comes to security, including phishing, it behooves all of us to not assume that permissiveness is a de facto positive.
I also have a VPN and have been able to make calls. However, a latency hovering around 1,500ms and very heavy jitter mean that no matter what encoding you try to use, the connection will be crap.

>Effectively does not matter if you aren't distributing.
While publishers don't usually go after end users, they do very often go after the people who make and/or distribute the tools. So, just because you can remove the DRM today doesn't mean you will be able to tomorrow. And it usually means you're downloading and running software on your PC by someone who is not deterred much by something being illegal.
I love ncurses style applications. Perhaps for the nostalgia. However, since I'm almost always logged into a window manager, a console window running this type of app is a very nice way of having a tabbed > mouse application.
Not really, ransomware is way more dangerous than selling viagra; I may want to kill you if you encrypt my data, not so much if you sell me a couple of viagra pills that don't work. When you scam someone (e.g nigerian scam) you take money from one (or a few) person only, here you are taking data from a lot of people and hoping some very few will pay; making a lot more enemies in the process, likely including state actors; which may make it a federal crime to pay such ransomwares.

It won't work. Fund raising like anything that involve a certain level of power is political in France.

I love my country but its qualities relies elsewhere. For example, in its healthcare system, in the transports or even in the nuclear industry (without endorsing it).

Its a cultural issue that started with Louis XIV and Versailles (the centralisation).

It's not a bad thing in itself. It's just a different path.
I'll second the Princeton course
>A society can't function if more than 10% of the population is in distress and that's exactly the purpose of insurance, the many helping the few, not the other way around.

Who says you're going to get a random sampling of the population? Those more prone to needing insurance money are going to be more likely to sign up and thus drive that 10% much much higher.

Are these the same Chinese battery companies that lost out on the hoverboard gold rush because the quality of their batteries was so low that would spontaneously explode. If so, I don't think Tesla has that much to worry about.
Those libraries also make it easier to write that code. The majority of people using scientific libraries will be used to mathematical and scientific notation, so the closer the programming is to that, the better for them.
That's exactly right! Think of it, like Google's doodle that sometimes appears above the search bar. Interesting, fun facts, that likely have nothing to do with what you're Googling ;-)
I read a fair amount of "news" and fluffy stuff during the day (largely links from HN). At home at night I tend to read actual books and somewhat "meatier" material. I just read the book Deep Work by Cal Newport and I'm feeling inspired by that, so I am thinking of reserving one of my weekend days for intense "deep work" studying / research (eg, reading academic papers and dense textbooks) going forward.
Perhaps a better way to explain "delegation" would be to say that it means "borrowing a method from some other object then executing it in the context of the borrower.

In O-O the "context" in particular refers to the "message recipient" available as the value of the pseudo-variable 'this' (or 'self' in Smalltalk).

To delegate = To borrow a method.
Delegator = Borrower.
Delegate = Lender.
There are benefits to continuity of facilities, though.

Anecdotally, my wife went to her regular doctor for a nominal fee at her yearly checkup. They drew blood, then asked her what hospital she wanted a follow-up diagnostic procedure to be scheduled at. She gave the one closest to us. She showed up, did the procedure, then almost a month later, we get 2 bills. One is for the blood ($1800) which, surprise, didn't go to an in-network lab despite all of our previous years' work being covered. The other bill was for the procedure ($800 if I remember correctly). If you go to the insurance website, enter her plan, enter the hospital and the procedure, it will tell you it costs something like $40. The whole system is broken, but at least these issues wouldn't have happened in a system like Kaiser.

Also anecdotally, my sister is on Kaiser in Colorado, and she has a chronic disease along with her pregnancy. They are taking very good care of her, and nothing seems to be dropped despite her having 3 physicians whom she sees regularly. I have almost no faith that if my wife gets pregnant, we'd have the same continuity in our current setup.
It sounds like someone is trying to sell something.
Ask HN: How to pick a minimal JavaScript library/framework?
I'm working on a fairly simple d3 visualization application. A few different pages and various views that need to be composed in different ways. I started with vanilla js + d3, but slowly started adding some basic object orientation. I recently added basic event handling with a pubsub library. Finally a couple days ago I created a View base class and accepted the fact that I'm reinventing the wheel here. All I really need is a library to abstract the concept of views with basic event handling to facilitate reuse and composition. It needs to be un-opinionated about rendering (since that's handled by d3) and work as just a script tag; no build step. If anyone has suggestions for this use case I'd love to hear them. It seems like maybe Backbone? I'd really prefer something simpler. The learning curve seems steep to figure out what I do and don't need. In general are there good ways to find minimal frameworks meeting specific criteria like this?
Any automated process that depends on human interaction is going to fail, whether it is seeking a job, finding a date.

The big flag here is, after 20 dates, defeat begets defeat. You can't automate success.

Plus, the profile picture sounds a bit like a lie. Anyone who's done online dating is familiar with the angels needed to hide body-type. Of course, no one is going to be happy to see someone who doesn't look like what the photo envisioned.
At this point they'd be better off just using retail Windows CBB (Current Branch for Business) and keeping it up to date like everybody else. A police force isn't a delicate aircraft, the ROI of millimetrically-micromanaged software deployment, with accompanying overhead costs and obvious security consequences, can't be worth it.
That's right!

You can also edit the URLS variable in that file, to point to more, or different sources of MOTD news.
> Noise rules are there for good reason (nobody likes broken windows)...

The engine noise rule at issue has nothing to do with broken windows, and the change is to use the same engine noise level restrictions as subsonic aircraft, rather than stricter rules for supersonic aircraft.
I've found the same thing.

It seems awfully silly that all summer long, one young person is moving an ikea dresser out of an apartment while another person is moving an ikea dresser into the same apartment.

Obviously there's a "tragedy of the commons" issue when you rent instead of buy, but it seems like there should be a better way to do this. You'd think people hate moving enough to be ok with less selection of furniture, potentially slightly more scratched up stuff, or buying a mattress pad to get over the weirdness of a previously used mattress.
That is true.

One caveat, though: these people were all CEOs or senior consultants or occupying high level cabinet positions in federal and provincial governments (some were actually premiers). These people, if not "thought leaders" are certainly modelling themselves in that image and, perhaps worse, unlike "thought leaders" they are the people at the steering wheel of many important things -- they are leaders. One would hope they would be less suceptible to fads, but alas.
That's an awful stereotype. Also, there is no "South America"; there are countries in South America, each with a different culture and dating strategies, some more traditional and conservative, some less. If you try dating in a conservative South American country (or city, because yes, it varies from city to city!), you'll find dating extremely difficult. Source: I'm from a country in South America.
Ponzi schemes, by definition, collapse at the end: each stage of "investors" have to be exponentially larger than the previous, and there's only so many people that can be involved before it becomes impossible to reproduce the next stage. The majority of participants get nothing, for that reason.

State pensions don't work like this. Even in disadvantageous demographic situations, the majority of people get something comparable to what they put in. Even in the most aged populations you don't go from X to 0; you go from X to (1 - c)X, where c is relatively small; that is, much closer to 0 than to 1.

Theres no main benefactor. It was Medicare/Medicaid that initiated code based payment and because they are the largest payor, everyone else was forced to go along.

Ultimately treating medical coding as the price determination mechanism is the cancer behind all our problems.

Ideas and Implications from Aspen
Happy to jump in here to talk about pricing, as it seems to be a big topic of conversation (and rightfully so).

- The $338 bed that you linked to is on a massive, one-time sale right now. I've refreshed the page several times and the price keeps changing. The manufacturer must be testing a bunch of things out - take a look. Let's leave that one example there for now.

- The Purchase Queen you linked to does look nearly identical to what we get from our manufacturer that must also sell to Wayfair. And the price on this item has shifted dramatically on Wayfair as well.

Seems you grabbed a particular item that doesn't favor us well in the rent vs buy equation. For the majority of our items: try the same comparison and let me know what you find.

Point here is, we should be more aware of the dynamically shifting prices of items on other sellers websites and re-price our items accordingly. Good catch, thanks.
I can see that this might be useful for interactive human use, but I'm not sure of the benefit of the API. Most popular programming languages have a library to do this already without relying on a network service.

Unix command line with GNU date:

date --iso-8601=seconds

date --iso-8601=seconds -u # UTC

date --iso-8601=seconds -d @1234567890 # specified time stamp

date -d 2017-06-29T12:28:57-07:00 +%s # other direction

Python: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2150739/iso-time-iso-860...

Using a network API for this kind of conversion function that's already built into programming languages reminds me of the left-pad controversy. You don't need to outsource basic programming tasks to third-party libraries, and you also don't need to outsource them to third-party network services.

I'm also a huge fan of Dark City, and unfortunately, it bears all the hallmarks of Goyer's misfires in cringe-worthy dialogue. See: a cop tracing a bloody spiral pattern left on a dead woman's breast and proclaiming, "Round and round it goes. Where it stops...nobody knows!"

On your first point, even if they know exactly what will be done, they can't answer. I can't look for it at the moment, but there was a Vox video maybe last year about a man who wanted to find out the cost to deliver his and his wife's baby. He called a bunch of hospitals in the area, gave them his insurance information, and he asked them the cost assuming everything goes to plan, just the cost of delivery. I don't remember exactly how long it took, but he got a number after hours on the phone. Then the bill came, and it was still a different number. The whole thing couldn't be more opaque.
Below operating costs. Rent plus utilities plus relevant salaries plus amortized cost of equipment.

This is confounded a bit because a lot of medicine involves lots of expensive equipment and staff with huge student loans to pay down but low day-to-day operating costs, but for a lot of specialties there exists no set of insurance-independent prices that allow a normal clinic following industry standard practices to operate without losing money.

MIT Research Helps Deploy Flying Cars Safely
It's doubly difficult for loners and introverts who do not necessarily enjoy meeting as many people as possible, yet would like a partner to share their lives with.
Don't need to be full. 100 miles in 15 minutes.

I also own a Chevy Volt. It's my only car. The biggest improvement is the fact that I almost NEVER have to go to the gas station, and every trip I've taken has had each leg within a Model S's top range.

Going to the gas station constantly is an inconvenience that most people simply don't notice until they get an electric car.

So would I rather take a 15-40 minute lunch break on a road trip every 3 hours on the maybe one road trip beyond 200 miles I'd go on every year or have to travel to the gas station 50 times a year? Obviously the latter involves a lot more wasted time.

Oh, and charging speed is improving. No reason, fundamentally, you couldn't engineer a battery that charges, say, 100 miles in 5 minutes or 200 miles in 10 minutes. Tesla AND others (VW, etc) are planning/testing 350kW charging, which would help enable that speed.

As far as cold weather: balooney. I've lived in cold weather states for most of my life. Conventional vehicles have a huge disadvantage in that they don't even start AT ALL in some conditions whereas electrics have zero problem. And since they're already plugged in, you can pre-heat them before you leave (without burning gas, mind you).

Hilly terrain is actually much better with electrics since you have PLENTY of torque and regenerative braking means you're not going to overheat your brakes like you would in a conventional vehicle.
Maybe I've just been dating the wrong--or right--girls. But none of them have ever shown the slightest interest in anything like this.

My stepdaughter went on 100 dates while in her teens (like, while aged 16-18), to get to know a variety of people (clean, usually double dates). She married ~#72 and they're doing very well, like, idyllic, after some years (she has blogs about raising their children). Anyway, while still a teen, she had an ebook published about why those 100 dates were a good idea, with 365 ideas for free or inexpensive dates:
