> The taxes get factored into the price of the land and the house,

So you have checked with every property owner and verified this?

I actually rent now, from my father (because he makes bad real estate decision despite having his real estate license). After talking with my landlord, who I know well and often talk to, I learned that in this area there are laws about how low rents can be. In his specific situation he is not allowed to rent the property for less than 125% of the price of his mortgage payment which must include the property taxes. Apparently, this is to insure there is money repairs.

So as for houses in Omaha I am fairly certain you are factually in error. I suspect other jurisdictions have other things going on in general, but it seems reasonable that most people do simple things like take their expenses into account which includes tax.
Arena’s Cultural Values at Work
Not really -- if you are in control of Oil wealth you are most likely part of a family that runs a country. Your fortune is dependent on staying in power and in favor of the patriarch. If there were to be a cultural revolution, uprising or falling out, you can't jump on your g6 and fly to whatever western country you pick and bring your oil with you like you can with stocks, bonds and other globally traded holdings.
Backend: Scala, Play framework, Akka, Postgres - rock solid type safety, scalable out of the box, mature but modern framework and the best database money can't buy. Frontend - Typescript/Angular/Material - all included framework with typescript's static typing works well from small to large projects.
>Your answer seems to just be that your definition of Lisp means the subset described in the 1960 paper,

Not true. I also consider LISP I as LISP, Common Lisp as LISP, and understand people calling Scheme as LISP, or Clojure as LISP. I really respect all of the works involving the LISP family.

>The paper you quoted said that Lisp was originally conceived as an non-pure language (the part I quoted) and that that was unfortunate, but true (the part you quoted).

The paper is referring LISP to the actual implementation and that is impure as we know. From the part I quoted, he had both pure and non-pure ideas and that I call "not black or white".

>So you meant to say that the 1960 paper was the first description of a pure language.

No I did not say this. Since it is not clear if it is the first pure language or not.

>Calling the 1960 paper's subset of Lisp "the original LISP"

I have already explained what I meant. I will also add that since the 1960 paper is so called "the original LISP paper", and the paper refers to the LISP implementation and describes a pure core LISP, I called the pure part "the original LISP" meaning the core of LISP in the original LISP paper. The most important part is the meaning and since I have explained what I meant, if you are not satisfied with the wordings, just use a different symbol "XXX LISP" and you will be satisfied.

>and disregarding the already-existing implemented Lisp system which the paper acknowledges,

No I am not. You seem to be disregarding that a pure LISP can be constructed from the idea in the paper.

>as well as McCarthy's previous writing on the subject, is misleading at best.

Not true.

>Apple has banned other browser engines on their platform.

Can you elaborate on this a bit? I primarily use Chrome as my browser on iOS. Is it really just running the Safari engine under the hood?
Many entitlements still require you to buy a certificate from Apple. You cannot, for example, compile and run your own VPN software.
Because everyone simply decided to participate in the prevailing social/economic system? I wish I could simply decide to opt out.

Ruby on Rails if it's something that doesn't demand top-of-the-line performance. It easily makes me the most productive writing backend code/APIs and it's not really close -- so many problems that are just solved, sane conventions, etc.

Elixir/Phoenix if I need blazing speed. It's younger and a bit more of a wild west but the speed is incredible.

React for the frontend (if it's anything more than basic CRUD). Regardless, webpack for frontend assets -- I'm never going back to sprockets.
I'm an eBay member and it doesn't require a subscription and it seems competitive with Amazon for knockoff ink...I'm also a fan of Brother, but mostly for their cheap laser printers. I'm kinda' meh on their inkjets (I've owned three Brother lasers and three Brother inkjets over the years). Then again, I am pretty much meh on inkjets in general due to the high maintenance and modern habit of refusing to print black when the cyan cartridges is empty.

Anyway, I think (perhaps naively) that eBay's economic incentives are less misaligned with mine than Amazon's. I certainly feel that its platform is designed to provide a sense of greater transactional transparency.

It didn't claim to predict the list very well. Its purpose is to give intuition about how far around the Earth we can see.

Also it shows that simply being tall (airplanes go higher than Everest) doesn't get you on the list. The second paragraph puts an upper bound on sight lines between two mountains of a given size. The longest sight lines are pretty close to that limit. And it gives a simple experiment that anyone can carry out from an airplane which will let you see the curvature of the Earth.
What kinds of problems did it have? Why is it so difficult to support MySQL and Postgres at the same time, and why would MySQL be prioritised?

The argument can't go only one way, though. If a web app doesn't get the UI in tune with the OS' look and feel, "the developer should be bothered to create a native app". But if a native app is a massive bloat, "that's another issue".
I do feel like I get value from politics Twitter, but sometimes I'm just not in the mood, and really wish I could filter it down to scicomm twitter easily.

> I mean literally who is not running or using anything that runs on AWS ?

Google and Microsoft both run their own equivalents to AWS (Google Cloud and Azure, respectively).

They don't have as much market share as AWS does, but they're a lot larger than you might expect.
I get that a lot of those are retries... but hasn't anyone there heard of backoff?

In theory you could make a web app look like a native iOS app too, yet in practice developers don't either.

IMHO, the single-thread performance/dollar graph at the end of the article says it all. At this price range, I've found that workloads are still mostly single-threaded. The Intel parts are still the king with their decent clock rates and their deep pipelines. The Ryzen 3 1200 is a total dog.

> If you replace running with equivalent amount of cycling then there are no ill effects. You can easily cycle at a recreational level for 8 hours a day and see no ill effects. Muscle structure will be quite similar to distance runners. They just don't wear out as much.

I once thought this too, but I have come to think that this is a myth. It's what my doctors and physical therapists (and friends) say -- if you're injured running, pick up cycling.

I injured my knee cycling and haven't been able to do it in years. It's a chronic pain that starts when I hop on my bike, and only then. (I have had the full fit, bike sizing, and all that.)

I began running instead and have never felt better. I do it barefoot, but I don't know if that's relevant.

It's now hard for me to accept that cycling is easy on one's joints. Maybe it is true, but if it is true, it's not obvious. Our bodies are very good at running and walking. There is no reason to think they are good at cycling. A bike is a rather unusual and modern invention.

I can speculate that maybe it's the shoes that are contributing to injuries in distance runners. I am not sure. Feel free to reply if you feel I am wildly off.
The chromeos security model praised in this article seems quite too conservative for devs to me, considering the inconvenience trade-offs:

- persistent state is discouraged, but not disallowed. in fact, when the browser is exploited, any/all internal state necessarily must be be accessable and modifiable. i'm taking an educated guess that persistent browser internal state is less guarded against exploitation than external inputs.

- once pwned, most of your important data can probably be captured and accounts taken over before you ever decide to reboot. it's a PITA to have to reboot before accessing anything sensitive; no one should have to think/remember to do that. (maybe if chromeos were serious about preventing persistent threats, they'd force a reboot every night?)

- yes, it's defense-in-depth, but security is a game of trade-offs, where convenience often trumps technical security mechanisms in terms of increasing security overall.

I enable dev mode, but I appreciate the "stateless" sentiment in terms of encouraging data backup. i think I end up backing up my data (git push, etc.) more often than I would on a non-chromeos laptop, because it "feels" like more a necessity; especially after my 2 yr-old son hit the spacebar during that god-awful dev-mode bootup warning screen, and proceeded to factory-reset my chromebook.
" ...I don't see the point of trying to "escape" the browser chrome, or trying to copy the look and feel of native apps. If web apps are going to be cross-platform then they should embrace not being truly integrated with any native platform."

I kinda feel you on that one - and to be honest, I'm not sure how you would "turn that off" but if memory serves I think it only happens if you opt to "add to home screen" which Chrome only prompts for things you visit a lot.

I've been using Meteor with Blaze and mongodb for the last couple years for various small side projects and prototypes. I think it's a great way to get going fast and still works well at a reasonable scale. Plus, the reactive data loading is neat.

Looks interesting. It looks like they are creating the CFD software for their own specific application. While that's cool and all, I doubt any other companies have the resources/motivation to write complex software from scratch, let alone underfunded postdocs.

I'm wondering about all the research that goes on in all the universities where large investments have been made on CPU based clusters. The simulation in the article you linked was run on NERSC servers, which are Cray supercomputers[1], which pretty much are Intel Xeon class servers with fancy interconnects.

So looks like it is CPU based, but I'm still interested in the software they use.

They took a guy, put him in a van, tortured him, before they were going to process, and potentially charge him. This was torture by the police who also do interrogations. This is not some isolated incident. This is normal police procedure. Intimidate. Arrest. Torture. Prosecute.
I bought a Ryzen desktop with an asrock motherboard a few weeks ago. It was very unstable. Installed Ubuntu 17.04 with upgraded kernel. Most crash / lock ups happened when running vmware workstation. I returned the desktop and now have a very stable Intel I7. It seems like the issue was a combination of the CPU and the motherboard. I assume Ryzen + asrock will run fine on Windows 10.
We should simply rank the wealthy by size.
Twitter should just focus 100% on real time news. That's the only time I've ever seen anything valuable come from it. If a major site is down, it's generally on there instantly. If some event just happened in the world, it's on there instantly.

All this other nonsense, interacting with celebrities, businesses, or coding "rockstars" is just noise.

Overhaul the horrendous UI, focus on world news ONLY.
I take it you didn't catch that that was all hypocritical bullshit :/. Steve Jobs can poke fun at Adobe all they want over Flash not adopting Cocoa and enabling developers to build applications using a third-party API layer over their platform, but it is totally duplicitous to do so without admitting that at the time iTunes was still written in Carbon and there was no timeline for that to change because their Windows implementation was ported to that platform as an API layer over the Win32 platform that allowed them to not have to maintain a truly native port of that product. To this day iTunes is written in that fashion; and, in fact, large amounts of it have been built on top of hybrid app web technologies so they can minimize how much stress they have to put on their increasingly abstract API layer. Seriously: go install iTunes on Windows and stare in awe at how Apple has essentially reimplemented OS X in a massive wad of DLLs so they can have iTunes sit on top. If Apple wants to be taken seriously, they should stop preaching and put their money where their mouth is and reimplement iTunes to work on both Windows and macOS as first-class native applications tied to the low-level APIs offered by the platform. The reality, of course, is that even a company as massive and successful as Apple understands the value proposition inherent in having one codebase that works on multiple platforms, and is willing to hamstring even their own macOS experience to make maintenance of their port to Windows easier. What is sad is that they can still tell these bold-faces lies about what their motives are, and people like you somehow still believe them :/.

> They do (and any service basically). You don't want to run a large-scale service without having some way for your users to self-reset their passwords.

I don't buy that. There are other similar services that allow an email address to optionally be provided later, for password-resetting purposes. I believe reddit is like that, as is this site.

This site gives me a "Please put a valid address in the email field, or we won't be able to send you a new password if you forget yours." message when I view my preferences, for example.

I don't buy your phone number claim, either. There are many other services out there, including ones that very likely have a presence in a country like Germany, that support user-posted content but that don't require a phone number to sign up.
It would have been a bold move 4 years ago. Today most software that builds with gcc also builds with clang. FreeBSD's switch everything to clang project is dead because there is nothing left to do: nearly every open source project builds with clang by default, the rare exceptions are complex cases not worth fixing.

OpenBSD has spent the last few years ensuring their code all builds with clang, and they support. All the add on software you might want to use also works well built in clang.

This is not surprising. The miners (or I guess I should say "some miners") want to retain their power by keeping all transactions on-chain in Bitcoin Cash, but I think at the end of the day a coin only has value if it has wide acceptance in the community, mainly including the people who actually use it for transactions. I think Bitcoin Cash will fail, but in the short term people will try to see how far "greater fool theory" will go by selling their Bitcoin Cash coins while still holding on to their bitcoins on the main blockchain.

This is a really excellent article about making and launching things. In particular the notes on how you changed your messaging for different communities is excellent.
I think it's also about the tooling.

With most "native" platforms you can have a WYSIWYG UI editing (because those markup languages were designed with that in mind). You visually define the layout (with mouse/trackpad), drop components there, and it's all nice and easy to use. Surely, you can code your UI as well, but to best of my knowledge no one in their sane mind does this, unless they have some very good reasons.

With web apps (progressive or not), the usual approach is to code stuff by hand, and see the results in the synchronized preview pane (or nearby browser window), patching the code until it all fits. Even if there's some tool/IDE somewhere that would let me bootstrap a React/React Native/Elm/whatever app with a mouse - by dropping a button on a pane and connecting an event listener with another mouse click (like I had it in Delphi, 15 years ago), I think it would be an exception, not a rule.

Or maybe I'm just unaware about how things are really done and have false beliefs, heh.
