Oh wow, blast from the past. I vaguely recall that being able to use WP keybindings was a key reason why my dad's company eventually switched to MOFT Word, despite constantly complaining about it at the same time.

I was pretty young then, so I never completely understood or cared why they went from WordPerfect to MS Office. It had something to do with the Windows version of WP being shit, but Word missing the 'underwater screen', among other things.

All I remember is that after initially being impressed by the full-color fancy pen on the loading screen, I was mostly annoyed at how slow and unstable everything had become with Word. That feeling stayed with me until probably at least Windows XP.

I find it interesting how many of the discussions I have these days really boil down to the same issues that I feel were central to the WP/Word fued: control vs convenience, following the trends vs doing what seems logically optimal (convention over configuration?), as well as the huge shift from keyboard/command-line type interfaces to mouse/windowed environments.

Oops, forgot to mention that this is a total hack that I would never put in production. I'm actually very curious about the atomicity of ASDF loads, and I don't know how it works. I wouldn't expect it to be for example atomic with respect to building several dependencies, but maybe it is.

The difference from the CGI model is that the Common Lisp runtime is stateful. In this particular experiment, I was working on a phone menu system, and it was really convenient to have the state of that system as Lisp variables.

What happens in China now could happen in 5 years in the rest of the world.

For "security" reasons or "fight agains terrorism", while it's really a fight between those in power and those who want power :-(

The need for IPFS, webRTC and other non-centralized protocols becomes more pressing every day, to defend everyone who is stuck in between.
The problem I have with Spacemacs is that it's almost too fancy.
Even as a moderately experienced Emacs user I found the defaults overwhelming. As an example, it displays lots of incomprehensible to the new user information on the bottom that changes with file type. Compare that with ye olde Emacs starter kit, which just fixed up some basic key bindings and gave it a more modern colour scheme.

Personally I find that a better starting point.
Actually they use OCaml for the blockchain implementation and their own functional and provable language "Michelson" for smart contracts.

Fun fact: Michelson was the guy that disproved aether :)
> whether drug abuse is what lead them to the behavior that you disapprove of.

I am pretty sure the needles on the sidewalk is just there because everyone suffers from diabetes, right?

I think that, fortunately for most IT people like us, we can live in nice neighborhoods, where none of the social ills of drug-ridden neighbortlhoods affect us. So, we can support drug legalization, without being affected by the consequences.

> The model of inhumane prisons and death sentences?

Japan/Singapore imprisons much less people for drug crimes than the US - due to the USA's lenient laws on drugs (grey line vs. red line). The ill effects of drug use in japan is virtually non-existent.

You can moralize all you want, but it is a better system with less actual harm.
It should be noted that using a non-china based iTunes account still allows you to install vpn apps and run the app inside Chinese borders...

But The Great Firewall could and sometimes does already block all VPN traffic so it would not be any use.
Hey Timmy, what was all that talk about customer security?

We humans don't know how to learn. We don't know how learning works. We simply work work work work until we know whatever we set out to know, we don't learn how we learned it, but are happy that we simply know it and leave it at that.

Therefore teaching someone/something else how to learn will be almost inherently impossible, because we don't understand it ourselves (yet?)

And if we do learn how to learn, why would we need an AI to do it for us?
Detecting squatters on npm
From what I've heard Telsa vehicles rare in for warranty repairs at a higher rate than most other new vehicles.

"The main problem areas involved the drivetrain, power equipment, charging equipment, giant iPad-like center console, and body and sunroof squeaks, rattles, and leaks."

The most common problems involve replacement of the electric motors, warped brake rotors, door handles that fail to slide out as a driver approaches, and numerous squeaks and rattles, which may be more apparent given the very quiet nature of electric propulsion.

Other problem areas cited by Tesla owners are leaking cooling pumps for the battery pack, dead windshield wipers, persistent alignment issues with the wheels, and misaligned latches for the front trunklid and the rear liftgate.

Thus far, all such problems have been handled under Tesla's four-year/50,000-mile warranty (it's eight years and unlimited mileage on the powertrain)--and owners appear to be pleased with the level of attentiveness and customer service they have received.
But Consumer Reports notes that once the car is out of warranty, such problems could become expensive for owners of older Teslas to fix.

From the web site: "Create a mini-Phoenix framework using Elixir and Cowboy. What can be the best way to understand Phoenix than to create it yourself."

Garuda, I'm sure after googling you found the Wikipedia entry for it. It is just a play on words since Garuda, like Phoenix, is a type of mythical bird.
Azure AD (Office 365) already has a REST API (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/) so this is really for on-prem Active Directories.

On-prem Active Directory also has AD Web Services (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd391908(v=ws.10...) that I guess you could use instead of this, but a simple rest api like this will be easier to integrate with.

I've seen this first hand with my mother who needed a locksmith because the lock on her front door broke. The cost of 'repairing' was well over 500 EUR, and the lock wasn't repaired at all, it had to be completely replaced afterwards by a real locksmith which was legit but due to the damage the scammer caused was expensive a well. This is a known scam trick going on in The Netherlands, but probably just one of the many examples.

If you are doing this, this is what I'd love : a book with theory and ton of exercises. My usual workflow is : I read theory, kind of understand something. Then first try one type of exercise that applied that theory. I don't understand a thing. Then I read the solution and I get it. I then need at least two if not more exercises more to play with that theory before I REALLY get it in my mind.

So please, add at least three exercises for each of the applications of each concepts explained in your book.
What most keeps me away from hard drugs isn't that the addiction is similar to a horrible disease, but to 99% that it (society's stigma) would cost me my job and my family. I admire the way in which Portugal removed the stigma of existing addicts and how it's considered a disease and not as stigmatized as here (Sweden) but I can't say the "threat of being stigmatized" is 100% negative. You can't have it both ways I guess.

Funnily enough, there is no key fob on a Model 3. You are supposed to use your phone to unlock your car (using Bluetooth) or a key car (using NFC) in case your phone is dead or you do not wish to couple your phone with the vehicle.

I personally like the idea because I hate carrying my keys with me and a credit card sized car would be much better for me. But I think Tesla should offer to sell normal key fobs for people who which to use those instead.
I'm a massive fan of decentralization and it seems that bittorrent has shown that it is resilient against oppression, while the magnet link hosting sites are regularly taken down, the protocol its self has shown that it can continue to thrive.

In this way it shows that decentralized networks are the way to circumvent oppressive people.

The on-going movement towards decentralisation is something to celebrate as is the transformation of users, slowly becoming peers.

Oh I remember this now, but it's 2 years old. I dearly hope Tesla managed to install more durable mecano-electronics parts it would be a bad PR move to have the best electric motor / battery tech next to frail secondary one.
I'm surprised to hear a webapp dev say it is the first time he hears about leaking traffic to third parties. Kind of worrying.
I think you are out of date. Rectification is pretty good at removing a lot of the vanishing gradient issues that nn's used to face, and the overwhelming power of modern digital computers (50k cores is common) make this all moot as far as I can see.
This is arguably worse than if they had done nothing at all to supposedly protect user privacy. Now it's clear that Apple was just playing the crowd to win sales.

Hey, has any of you guys been using emacs for modern front-end development? I’ve been looking for video tutorials (or at least for demos) on this subject, but could not find anything useful and practical. How is emacs’ support of JSX? Of typescript and TSX? Of flow? Of CSS in JS? Of eslint? Does it keep up with the crazy speed frontend development is changing, or has it remained far behind (being used mostly for the basic tasks that are shown in the video on web-mode in the 'Using Emacs' series)? What's your experience?
Visualizing the Math Behind Logistic Regression and Newton's Method
__destruct is not called when the reference count goes to 0? This is one of the (few) features I think PHP does better than C#.
The other way around. Being pedantic, it would be GNU without Linux. How is any of that helpful to people?
Nope, they aren't even in the same category. E.g. Notice that there is a cpu size limit because of heat. Do you know what doesn't overheat? A photonic computer. You can build a cpu the size of a house. Also how does the number of cores constitute "overwhelming power".
Governments can outlaw those too. We need a p2p internet before it's too late. It doesn't have to be the fastest or the best. It just has to work well enough to bootstrap free access to information whenever the government tries to snuff it out. In Cuba they use thumb drives but we can do better.
Well maybe you shouldn't use a locked system then.
There are enough and better alternatives and always have been.

It's not like this is a surprise at all. People have warned about this for years but the fan base and the cool design were stronger. I'm pretty sure there will be no uprising in the western Apple community about that at all.
Nope, accidental.

Complete clickbait, and inaccurate. One could just as well say a bank robber was arrested for opening the door, because that was the first step in robbing the bank.

What's worst about the idea that he was "arrested for pressing F12" is that the thing he was arrested for (finding and then reporting a bug) is completely ridiculous. Presumably they actually arrested him for utilizing the bug to buy a ticket at a huge discount ("stealing" a ticket), but of course he did it only to see if it were possible and then reported it.
I'm sure Warren Buffet will disagree with that generalization of all companies being tech companies, especially since he, the quintessential value investor, doesn't consider Berkshire Hathaway as one.

Neither would Carlos Slim. Not that it means anything but at different times, each was once adjudged the wealthiest in the world.

Calling a company a "tech company" speaks primarily to its competitive advantage in printing money, not the industry it is in.
You may have made several mistakes.

First is 2 months is too long to work on a game. 2-3 weeks max. Make game -> release -> make new game.
Keep them coming. Rovio made 50+. If they'd spent 3 months on each, they'd have drowned.

That problem I think also leads to the rest. Most of which has been said.
Once I made my first app which took me ~1 month, I've pushed times to 1 week. Keep them coming.

Another issue is salivating at the money before you create the user-base. Get the users up first. The money follows them.
I think people have done this I'm c/c++ with loading shared libraries at runtime. Its just a bit ugly BC the tooling isn't there. But I don't think there is anything inherently magical about it. To oversimplify it, you just have your function table point at a new location with the same signature, no?

If you published your research in peer-reviewed venues, it would help your democratization ambitions. Few people can pay attention to original research that is buried into teaching material.
After this was initially announced I ran apt-get a a few times for dependencies, then compiled OpenSSL inside the box. I also got linux apps working with a gui, which was quite possible.

Their business is ad delivery. Apple is a consumer electronics company as they make and sell hardware directed primarily at consumers (as well as niche professional markets – kind of like Panasonic.) Google is an advertising company; the tech they produce is nearly universally focused in some way on the delivery of ads. They make and sell ad delivery.

Search: ad delivery. Any innovations around search are all built for the purpose of making essentially a better billboard.

Gmail: data generation tool that feeds information into Google in order to better traffic ads.

Google analytics: a Trojan horse that trades data to web property owners in exchange for being able to use that data themselves – to better target ads.

Google Fiber: more bandwidth, the more people will be able to use their ad products.

AdWords: ad delivery
AdSense: ad delivery

Chrome: owning the browser means you protect the ability to serve ads.

Google Apps for Business/Gsuite – an exeception to the above that represents a minuscule amount of revenue.

Play Store: if you make Android more attractive, you protect an ability to use Android user data in order to target people to... (drumroll please) serve ads.

All of these X/Skunkworks projects are just hobbies. Google is an ad company, plain and simple. Their entire business is based around “track and serve.” Even self-driving cars: “we noticed you visit REI a lot, how about we drive you to this <new competing store> for a 30% discount off of whatever you were buying at REI?”

Apple is a hardware company – they make software and services so you want to buy their hardware. They are to a lessor extent, a content distribution company but really even that is to support selling Apple hardware. They haven’t changed much since 1984 – make software exclusive to the Mac, so Mac is differentiated from other computers.

Facebook – not even a debate. Track and Serve.

Microsoft might be considered a “true” tech company in the sense that they are essentially a software version of what IBM used to be.
That's why I said "with a few exceptions". There are legal Defenders in the USA, but they are uncommon enough that I didn't want people thinking of Discoveries or LR2/3/4's when I described a "tractor-like" vehicle. Next time I'll be more specific.

P.S. That's a neat site! I'm glad that there's an American Defender community. Defenders are beautiful vehicles, and on the rare occasions that I see one I always try to get a picture with it :-)

What you get depends on the error handling. You could also show a read-eval-print-loop on error or make it configurable by turning this on and off. On a Lisp Machine, the user of an application usually would get a dialog with the restart options (something no other typical operating system provides) and one option is to drop into a debugger or an error read-eval-print-loop. For some commercial systems this could be hidden from the user.
Just on a positive note - HTTPS has done wonders BC it destroys any granularity in censorship. For instance BC English Wikipedia isn't blocked you are able to look up any topic and authorities have no way of knowing which topic you've looked up.

They could block all of Wikipedia ofcourse, but it'd be overly draconian, hard to justify and people would be upset (though itll happen eventually. They're working on a wikipedia clone right now)

It probably would have been faster to apply tension to the lock, and then rotate the rows of digits until you find the "binder" (the one that the lock is resting on under tension).

Once you have found the binder, rotate it until you feel the lock open slightly and the digit ring falls into the gate. The digit ring will move freely for about 1.5 digits until it starts to seize again.

Repeat until you've found all the digits. I've done this one a number of occasions to help friends unlock their bikes, or to troll them by changing the combination on their bike.

tl;dr: combination locks suck. Don't use them, ever.

Case in point: https://youtu.be/uMvx0GtfEOk
IIRC, Microsoft wants you to use intrinsics because it plays better with their register coloring and code reordering optimizations.

Unless there's an instruction you need that doesn't have an intrinsic or you're writing something like a spin lock where instruction ordering is critical and a compiler barrier for some reason is not sufficient, there's no reason to ever write assembly.

Your code won't be appreciably faster than if you tuned it in the compiler, and after a few years the compiler will integrate new instructions while your assembly just gets stale.
