Note that bordeaux-threads, like CLIM-SYS or CFFI-sys, is not only a portability layer, but also a standard:

BORDEAUX-THREADS is a proposed standard for a minimal MP/Threading interface. It is similar to the CLIM-SYS threading and lock support, but for the following broad differences:

Some behaviours are defined in additional detail: attention has been given to special variable interaction, whether and when cleanup forms are run. Some behaviours are defined in less detail: an implementation that does not support multiple threads is not required to use a new list (nil) for a lock, for example.
Many functions which would be difficult, dangerous or inefficient to provide on some implementations have been removed. Chiefly these are functions such as thread-wait which expect for efficiency that the thread scheduler is written in Lisp and 'hookable', which can't sensibly be done if the scheduler is external to the Lisp image, or the system has more than one CPU.
Unbalanced ACQUIRE-LOCK and RELEASE-LOCK functions have been added.
Posix-style condition variables have been added, as it's not otherwise possible to implement them correctly using the other operations that are specified.
Threads may be implemented using whatever applicable techniques are provided by the operating system: user-space scheduling, kernel-based LWPs or anything else that does the job.

Some parts of this specification can also be implemented in a Lisp that does not support multiple threads. Thread creation and some thread inspection operations will not work, but the locking functions are still present (though they may do nothing) so that thread-safe code can be compiled on both multithread and single-thread implementations without need of conditionals.

To avoid conflict with existing MP/threading interfaces in implementations, these symbols live in the BORDEAUX-THREADS package. Implementations and/or users may also make them visible or exported in other more traditionally named packages.")

And so, instead of one standard like C, you have the CL standard, as well as additional standards that are not called annexes but fulfill the same role.

From a practical point of view, I consider portability layers to be sufficient; but having those additional standards offer stronger guarantees across implementations.

Phones where a walled garden long before the iPhone. J2ME apps sucked, but there where a lot of them.

Calling the iPhone the first smartphone is mostly just marketing and form factor. They got the interface right and built a better browser, but you could use the web, email, apps, take pictures etc on phones long before the iPhone.
My biggest gripe with these tools is that, because some of them are specifications, they have a viral property.

For example, if most data consumption APIs switch to GraphQL, you become "forced" to use the tool.
Identity Thieves Porting Mobile Numbers to Hijack Victims' Web Accounts
I don't know, to me that's a bit like running a torrent client and expecting the default setting to be "no seeding, download only". After all, the torrent client is _your_ tool, right? Why should it do anything except the bare minimum required to download the files you want? Why waste upload bandwidth on something that doesn't benefit the user?

Obviously that's ridiculous, right? If the default setting was to not seed, torrent clients would be much less useful for everyone involved. Browsers sending usage stats are much the same way. While no individual user benefits from _their machine_ sending those statistics, it's better for the user population as a whole if the default setting is to send them, since those stats help the browser vendor build a better browser. (And before you cry "privacy", remember that in this context we're talking about a situation where the statistics are being sent in a way that is "sufficiently anonymous" such that privacy isn't an issue. See the GP.)

So while I agree you certainly should have the right to disable sending usage statistics if you wish (just as many Torrent clients let you disable seeding), expecting that to be the default setting is a bit strange.
Instead of barking the names of logical fallacies at people, perhaps consider why the auto insurance industry employs scores of actuaries and takes driver history into account so heavily.
The "ego depletion" effect makes sense to me on a personal level, but there's been some doubt cast on the studies:

I think you're concentrating on the wrong word - reliability. That doesn't seem the central assumption of Anthony here, it's just an attribute to arrive at the central assumption: That there is a universal truth, i.e we all live in the same world, only our models of that world are different (i.e. subjective).
Currently, the Fed is maintaining the balance sheet at a high level by reinvesting funds from maturing bonds they hold. At some point they're going to stop reinvesting the funds, and let the balance drop. Which means the initial impact will be in long-term rates, esp. mortgage rates. It probably won't effect stocks too much directly in the near term, but eventually will. It will be interesting to see what effect this has on certain overheated coastal real estate markets.
A Ray Comfort movie, seriously? He is king of editing footage to make people look the way he wants. Watch around 6:15 as PZ Myers is abruptly cut off before he can explain why we don't see fish change into bears, or whatever impossible goal post Comfort has setup.

Comforts insistence on "kinds" is not based on any science. He just claims that because we only see a bunch of small steps, A->B, B-C, E-F, etc. changes in genetics, we will never see A-Z changes. That is, we can only witness incremental changes in DNA, therefore large changes cannot happen because reasons. He's given and shown multiple examples of the process of natural genetic drift, change, etc. and then proclaims that it can only go so far, up to "kinds" without providing any evidence for this limit. Also without defining what a "kind" is.

Sorry but this man irks me. He is not honest.

He also is known as "banana man" for this pretty weak argument from design: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KqJuITAVWc

Oh, you are A2DEH. "Hi" from 1979 or 1980, from ZEMON. I saw you online a lot, playing Zork on MIT-AI, and I probably :os'd a few of your sessions.

I too was using the NBS TIP. Later, I actually worked at NBS and became "legal". I first learned Emacs at 300 baud; I'll spare you the whole story, but it involves a lot of assembly language and some soldering...
The marketing choices are interesting. I don't think we'll see that line in their B2B copy. The names Covetly and PreDxion feel like a tonal mismatch for their more rulebound audiences. The cartoonish visuals of Construct Simply and CarDash also feel a bit off relative to a pick-up truck or motor oil ad. But in those cases, the clients often drag the service providers to the platform.
Hey! Sorry I realize now maybe the idea of Git-powered products wasn't very clear.

No forking/reselling takes place (unless of course that is desired by the product creator). The only role Git plays is first-class support for developers to do things like:

1. Do a "git pull" to get product updates instead of having to go to some online UI (like CodeCanyon) to get a zip archive, then manually do a diff to see what changed. And my favorite thing is you can add the git repo in your package manager (like npm or composer), which none of the other product platforms allow.

2. Creators can make releases (like GitHub does them), which is very cool for managing release-specific issues/bugs, handling subscriptions per-release, or allowing customers to get updates only when you're ready for a release.

As far as compensation goes for any collab done related to this HN post, I'm open to any suggestions. My main goal is to find creators, not to profit from the collaboration directly. Mostly just looking for fun creators to work with and willing to help them any way I can!

React Native: A developer's perspective
There might be a month or two of lags but when you look at a 10y chart of the S&P vs the size of the Fed B/S, the correlation is striking.
The pattern of boom/bust cycles over the past century is alarmingly consistent, especially for a field like economics that is famously unpredictable. Just look at the graph in Exhibit 7 of this article. It's almost perfectly periodic. According to investopedia [0], "there have been 11 business cycles from 1945 to 2009, with the average length of a cycle lasting about 69 months, or a little less than six years." By this logic, we're definitely "due" for a downturn very soon.

Does anyone who understands finance have any insight on why this pattern seems so predictable? Is it due to fundamental economic drivers, or is it merely correlated with major historical events (internet 2000s, globalization 1990s, deregulation 1980s, post-WW2 society 1950s, etc)?

If technological society does not continue to innovate at the pace of the last few decades, will boom/busts smooth out at a point of slower growth?

As a person from germany and as many of you might not know, the "daily stormer" is directly connotated to "Der Stürmer" [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_St%C3%BCrmer].

Even if it were a problem or resources, the solution is invest now in creating more resources, not in "saving money".

I think that part of the reason it's a taboo, is because the officially pushed narrative is designed to hide that, in many instances, is a problem of redistribution more than a problem of resources.

For instance, in USA, the "public debt crisis problem", that it's mainly meaningless, distract from a honest debate of the real issues.

I suspect the difference in performance will be very incremental, not revolutionary. Sure, efficiency will improve, but the big story will probably be higher production yields and more consistency.

LEDs are already efficient enough that I'd focus on color quality above all else when selecting them.
That's my point, incentivize our own citizens to have kids using the money that would otherwise be spent on immigrants. Preferably you would make it a tax cut so that middle class would have kids.

With a MOOC the costs and barriers to entry are alot lower than for college education. One would hope that this enables people to 'shop around' a bit more, finding something they are actually interested in - which is one important part of motivation.
The quality of the lectures available can also be much higher, e.g. I can see and follow what top professors in the field are up to regardless of geographic or other access problems.
Over time, I also hope for a bit more specialization - instead of mostly Phd/professors wanting to do research having mandatory lectures, we'll have more people passionate about teaching itself.

Not that there aren't challenges as well...
How the Latest Cloud Technologies Can Help Today's Musicians
The thing is, you never notice a "real downturn" until right at the point the bottom falls out. It just looks like market cyclicality at first -- a 10% drop in equities over 6 months is nothing to worry about until you hit a week where you lose 10-15%. Suddenly you're down 20-25% over 6 months and people start to say "oh crap, we're in a recession". But really, at that point you've been in the recession for six months.

This is why amateur investors do a lot of hand-wringing about market timing -- they think they can "time" the recessions. And of course you can in hindsight, but recessions are very difficult/impossible to see in real-time, even for experienced economists.

You can have a malware that copies anything stored in the local storage to its own database and transmits to a server as soon as the user goes back online. local storage is just as vulnerable to being read by JavaScript as cookies are.

local storage can be read using JavaScript from the same domain if you control all the JS on the domain, then this shouldn't be a problem. But if any other code is executed (i.e. via injection), they will be able to access the local storage

Why your startup does not need venture capital
For those interested in managing online time and getting ourselves offline regularly, the book Deep Work, by Cal Newport, has some very useful ideas. One that I plan to start experimenting with is the idea of scheduled internet access - allow yourself to get online only at certain times of day. This isn't just for work. Even if you're, say, standing in line at the grocery store, you don't get to pull your phone out and check your email.

As the author points out, we've forgotten how to be bored. We need to learn to engage that part of our brain again.
