Anybody use Racket in production? Every time I think about it, the lack of libraries holds me back.
Bezos' worth is paper, the Vatican has billions in cash, that's outside of all its other holdings in stocks, real estate and so on.

They pull in 100's of millions per week, now obviously lots of that is spent again but plenty of it flows upwards.

I don't think there is any proper accounting of the true worth of the Vatican other than what slips out and the official reporting by the Vatican bank.

Personally I'd be happy if the whole thing went bust but they keep finding new people to fleece so it will be a while. Get them while they're young... It's remarkably effective, once brainwashed as a child it takes a very strong person to break out of that stuff.

It's interesting how accidents of birth tend to tie people to some religion (or none) and then that becomes a defining part of their identity to the point where they can no longer separate from it. And so if you're born in Pakistan chances are large that you will feel like the Muslim religion is the one and true and when you're born in Ireland it will likely be Catholicism or Protestantism (but the dividing line between those two is - unless you're part of either - for non-religious people roughly the same as between Orthodox verions of that same religion, in other words, all followers of Jesus in some variation).

Born to Jewish parents Judaism is very likely to be your religion and so on. That alone should make you wonder how much of this is free choice and how much of it is indoctrination. Maybe we'll kick the religion virus one day but I'm not too hopeful it will happen.

Then a whole bunch of old guys in robes and people speaking with great authority on subjects they could not possibly know anything about will have to find some new way of conning people.
It's very definitely dead.

everything comes down to a moral compass of some kind. Your comment expects some sort of objective measurement of good and evil, but I don't see any. The law can be, and is often, in the wrong.

Most people seem to think this law (if it is held up in court) is wrong and should be changed.

You might say, oh well, we have a democratic right to change or influence our laws. But a princeton study has found no correlation between public preferences of the majority of the population and enacted policy: https://scholar.princeton.edu/sites/default/files/mgilens/fi...

From memory, the only thing that leads populations to revolt against their government is high enough food prices. Outside of that, revolts almost never happen.

What I'm trying to say is A) unjust, monopolistic, or excessive laws are probably more normal than the opposite because B) the idea that democracy means people have some weigh in lawmaking might be a myth and C) most people don't do anything about it because they only act when the very basics of their livelihood are threatened.

Your view, that some unjust or excessive laws are preferable to total chaos, seems to carry the assumption that laws are naturally benign and/or made to serve some purpose for society, therefore we should not challenge them without good reasons to do so. If the opposite is true and most laws or a high enough number of them are not just, then the fact that the vast majority of people disagrees with them is only natural.

This is a fairly long-winded way of saying that most people would say you're being downvoted because there are plenty of terrible laws that we should not acquiesce to silently.
If your robots.txt file is /allow then you did. If you have no robots.txt file then it's an open question. If you put a /deny into your robots.txt file Google will stop scraping your site.

The implicit contract is that you let them scrape because you want to show up in their search results which will send you traffic. If you don't care about Google traffic then set /deny in your robots.txt and get back the bandwidth you were giving them.
Play services is more than just the online store; it's a Faustian bargain of useful services in exchange for giving Google root control over "your" computer.

I refuse to Play. I don't really miss the app store, but I'm sore I can't cast media at my friend's house (Chromecast requires Google Play, of course). This is another brick in that wall.

This is more unethical and monopolistic than anything Micro$oft ever did, back when they earned that moniker.
Dayum. Now if they would just port Thrust to OpenCL I'd be in business.
Agree. The number of times I've received LinkedIn emails from people I no longer speak to who I'm confident would have no actual inclination to connect with me is certainly in the double digits. They've all been conned into giving LinkedIn their email password, and LinkedIn is going crazy as result.

This probably happened a lot more a few years ago. Is perhaps 2FA making this harder these days?
The user agent header is not an authorization header. There is explicitly an authorization header.
Is anyone aware of any languages targeting the Racket VM? Any thoughts on whether the Racket VM would be a more pleasant VM target than, say, the JVM or the .Net CLR?
Alternate data doesn't even need to be as sexy as satellite photos, hell you almost certainly want the data that isn't sexy, the stuff people haven't thought of because it's too boring. Alternative data vendors above all want sales, and even the funds themselves want things to show off to clients. This gives you great opportunities to look at the alternative data they aren't touching.

Given this is a predominantly a web development community it always surprises me how little creativity there is in the articles on investing. Neural networks and machine learning sound cool but the reality is almost none of the readership would be able to make any money off them.

Simply tracking how many sales or users exist in databases by watching sequential IDs should be the go-to method for any web developer trying to get an edge. I would have expected HN to have articles where people are getting creative on that, ie trying to use measures of entropy on usernames to get rough subscriber numbers etc.

Even plain scraping of prices etc, is often full of great insight that is ignored. If a grocery store drops their prices in profitable categories against their competitors, that could be the signal about an incoming price war for an entire sector. There's a lot more information in that than social media feeds and all the other sorts of sexy data that get coverage in the media.

Right. My point is actually that they're doing an FDR within each group, not across the whole study. So, the adjusted P values are accurate within each group, but to look globally, you either need to then Bonferroni or re-perform the FDR globally. I'm not saying that my point is in disagreement with yours, by the way, I'm just trying to clarify that my point is independent of whether they had done in-group FDR or in-group Bonferroni.

I actually built an online FDR calculator previously, since I enjoy the topic so much: https://tools.carbocation.com/FDR
But... if he's not wrong and it is actually relevant to the discussion why are you upset about it? Is he supposed to refrain from mentioning it because... it's been popular for the past few weeks and so you're tired of hearing about it?
I found myself laughing the other day when I went to Bing for what I used to use Google news for... because of all the alternatives tested, it seemed to provide the best breadth of what I was looking for.

Redesigns like this make me wish more designers thought in terms of a toggle option for users who don't want the slick and shiny. Seems like such an obvious, idiot-proof solution to pissing off your users en masse.
Homebrew I believe goes through GitHub. Many of the Vim plugin managers also do, or at least have the option. I think CocoaPods and Carthage, both for iOS development, do as well.

I think it's somewhat common for a new package manager to use Github as a kind of CDN for a while, until they get big enough they can do their own.
I recall twitter's early rewrite going pretty well. The "fail whale" was a real big deal before that. They went from notoriously poor uptime to being on par with facebook.
"Do you know what they call 'alternative medicine' that's been proved to work?
Medicine." - Tim Minchin, Storm, 2008.

Should you trust an authority? That is always a personal decision. I try not to, but I will listen to someone with credentials and give weight to their knowledge and experience. Online randoms describing an "alternative" are not challenging authority or bypassing it: no matter how they try to frame it, they are trying on the mantle of authority itself, but with no foundation.

Your assertion that "policy makers" are systematically withholding "solid information about your body" is paranoid nonsense.

If you want to go study the systems of your body, all the world's medical information is publicly available. There's a reason a medical degree takes seven years or more, however: the body of knowledge is vast and interconnected. It's not withheld, it's just a much greater challenge than many of us are willing to undertake.

Online forums may be a source of good advice and anecdotal suggestions, but they also give false hope to the desperate, and thereby open the window to perpetuating snake oil and quackery and delusional magical thinking. At their worst, this amounts to conducting uncontrolled medical experiments on other human beings who are only willing because they are desperate - and that's close to evil in my book.

PLA is also susceptible to heat. Leave a PLA model out in your car with the windows rolled up in the summertime (especially here in Arizona where you can easily cook a meal in your car!) - and you'll come back to a model in not-so-good shape (it won't melt, but it will deform and sag).

It really depends, the calls to their database wouldn't be direct, it'd be through a REST API which then communicates with a DB. That REST API likely has some sort of DDOS protection, like for example how cloudflare protects ALL requests to the domain.

But anyway, their excuse that it needs to be secret is BS, DDOS protection methods are widespread and not very secret as it is. They probably just want to keep it secret, because they don't actually have proper DDOS protection.
More accurately, people who don't like those well-known public figures care about those things. The fans and neutrals usually don't care and often even defend the awkwardness.

>Otherwise, we have nothing further to discuss here regarding the longest possible game.

Just curious any people own $AMD shares? I was surprised to learn that AMD is the second most owned company on Robinhood trading platform behind Apple. I bought in at $10.47 after last earnings absolutely destroyed it. Just sold right before current earnings at $14.12 and looking to maybe buy back in lower than I sold for. Closed today at $13.61.
constexpr is a subset of what you can do at runtime. So my way of debugging is

#define constexpr

Which makes all the code plain code that executes at runtime, then you can put your couts and use your debuggers.

Its orders of magnitude simpler than dealing with template meta-programming.

constexpr_printf is the feature I want most of all. There is actually a patch for gcc that implements this.

I dont know how Jinja works, but the idea here is you do templating at runtime, but your templates get compiled down to a tree like DS at compiletime

Curious too, but mostly about Racket's performances in recent releases, I've always been told it's rather slow.
Ease of use and a clear audience may be another reason for this. I mean, look at WordPress. It's certainly not what a lot of people would consider a great script, nor the 'best' CMS around.

However, it powers about 25% of the entire internet and 59% of all those sites using a CMS. Why?

Because it just offered what people wondered in a simple, easy to understand system rather than trying to be a super powerful jack of all trades that only tech geeks could understand. Joomla and Drupal offered more customisation options, but it was overwhelming for a lot of people, whereas WordPress just focused on being a blog and offered what was needed to run a blog straight out of the box.

And that same sort of 'simplicity sells' thing may also be part of why smartphones are doing so well recently (no messy configuration like with normal computers and very easy app installation features) as well as why games consoles still sell at a time when PCs can do everything as well or better.

I'm referring to the hyperbolic headlines talking about a "metal printing revolution," not the actual company.

What's more, you could have purchased those solutions before the internet was even a thing.

If you're already doing this, you probably have the skills and the tools to make your own molds (3D printed in plastic even), mold a rough version, then mill it down to proper tolerances. If your molds are good enough, and your pour goes correctly, and your tolerance needs aren't that high - the part that you get might only need a minimum of cleanup (sprue removal, some filing or sanding, sand/bead blasting).
Your assertion that "policy makers" are systematically withholding "solid information about your body" is paranoid nonsense.

I said nothing of the sort. Both of the replies to me seem to be reading in enormous amounts of bs that isn't in my remark at all.

Patients being informed about their condition is not all about people promoting snake oil. For some conditions, the patients themselves are often better informed than general MDs. Only actual specialists in the condition really know more and going to a general MD with no experience in their specific condition sometimes has catastrophic (even deadly) results.

Often times, the easiest way to debug complex template code is to intentionally fail the compilation, with a minimal context, so you can read the compiler's output on what the types and values are. Here's a simple example of a function I used to use:

template <typename T, typename ...Ts>
void show_types()
{ static_assert((T*)nullptr, "Type log"); }

int main()
{
show_types<int, float, bool>();
}

When trying to compile this, using something like `g++ show-type.cpp`, you'll get this output:

show-type.cpp: In instantiation of ‘void show_types() [with T = int; Ts = {float, bool}]’:
show-type.cpp:7:32: required from here
show-type.cpp:3:3: error: static assertion failed: Type log
{ static_assert((T*)nullptr, "Type log"); }

The same can be done for non-type template args, of course.
The main reason why the auto makers had a hard time was the global recession. Unions had exactly nothing to do with it.
look up Zelle. it's the US bank version of venmo. it will be integrated into the bank app or standalone and it's instant payment. a few banks already have it. i know mine does
And my position is that the effort needed to move past those implications is so miniscule, especially in comparison to the problems they address, that we can afford to suck it up.

Tone arguments are so often used for concern trolling around women's issues (and doubly so on HN) that I don't have much patience for them. Frankly, there is no way these problems can be phrased that will both make everyone happy and not omit crucial facts of the scenario (i.e., that women cannot achieve equality without men who are both aware of these problems and willing to act on them).
Because as a society we can't spend ten million dollars on every patient with a hard-to-diagnose chronic condition that may just be stress. It just isn't practical.

Fair enough. In my company's experience giphy only attaches a relevant gif around 25% of the time, the rest of the time the gif is an odd non-sequitur. Relevant and amusing gifs are probably closer to 5-10%.

> Or it was a mistake. Journalists sometimes make them, too.

My experience with small time journalists, is that many are unethical and they are busy thinking of a narrative that they can sell to their editor and/or their audience. If their distortions were mistakes, they would be random, but lots of people reporting news in media generally err on the side of being more lurid, shocking, or controversial.

You can tell the ethical ones, because they manage to avoid this and be the "cooler heads that prevail."

In most areas I tend to be a libertarian - but not when single stupid decisions can affect other innocent people. Fine with me if you want to kill yourself with measles, but leave other people out of this mess.

People refusing vaccinations are a threat to society, and should be exiled in my opinion. As a matter of fact, many countries have shifted to exiling the kids from school when unvaxed in order to combat both the antivax movement and the exploding numbers of (mostly) measles infection. Measles has the very real potential of killing you (or your child), and up to 30% of cases get severe complications as a result.

Remember that the antivax movement basically was hyped up by that Wakefield study? This is something that should not even have been published. It should have been eradicated from the history books.

> The current "world order" (for lack of a better term) in regards to the economy ensures disadvantaged people remain disadvantaged, keeps people who are poor in poverty for the foreseeable future.

I mean, that's demonstrably false. When I lived in Bangladesh as a young child, GDP per capita was $250 per year in current dollars. Today it's about $1,500 per year. In my lifetime it's gone from about 6% of US GDP per capita to 10%.

I absolutely agree with the other poster that the "world order" does not keep countries poor. With a lot of exceptions, it's bad governments and bad value systems that keep people poor. In 1969, Korea's GDP per capita was also about $250 per year (about 5% of that of the US at the time). Today, it's $27,000 per year, or about half of that of the US. Nothing happened to Korea in 1969. Instead, they started getting their government in order (though it was something of an autocracy at first), implemented market reforms, and prosperity followed.

Note that it took Korea just 25 years to go from having 5% of US GDP per capita to having 33% of US GDP per capita. Meanwhile, in ~35 years Bangladesh has only gone from 5% to 10% of US GDP. Nobody is doing anything to Bangladesh to cause it to grow slower than Korea. It's not a victim of some proxy war like some countries. It's all about the quality of the government and the moral virtue of the people.
