Probably for the same reason I bought a MacBook Pro with the stupid USB-C ports and no F-keys: there is no alternative.
I think an East Coast city definitely makes the most sense. Realistically though, they probably can't get enough land in the ideal spot of NYC/Jersey meaning the next best options are DC, Philly and Atlanta. Baltimore could be a dark horse candidate. There's already a lot of construction going on there courtesy of Under Armour building out a new HQ. Charlotte could be an option as well.
It's a deceptive title and I think an oversold result.

They try many models that are obviously not going to work because the meaning of symbol A at time 1 is not related to the meaning of symbol B at time 2. If you have no temporal coherence, too big of a vocabulary, of course you will get nothing that looks like a language.

> Lisp is pretty slow in comparison to C, that's acceptable.

It is not. (Common) Lisp can be made as fast as C if you really need it, by using tricks...

By the way, for a while, the fastest HTTP static server was one written in Lisp, "teepeedee2", 2009. Fastest in the world.
No, this is a replacement for things like php-fpm, gunicorn, etc.

The REST API part of it is for updating its configuration over HTTP.
Why Bottled Water Is So Expensive on Amazon Right Now
Amazon's page says they'll bring high-paying jobs though, so I don't think that would be a major issue.

Amazing speech by Kai-Fu Lee at Columbia University
Ok, let's just do that : spec a voting system. Such a system should be as secure as physical paper and anybody should be able to assess its security by inspecting it (good luck with that one).
It's no different than the init and conditional parts of a for loop. Do people abuse for loops to do unrelated tasks? Not really.

It does improve readability. If you've ever had to have a series of conditionals in their own braces to keep the init variable in its own scope, then you have a use for this. The alternative might be having foo1, foo2, foo3… all in the same scope, and it's too easy to use the wrong one. This keeps things specifically constrained to the scope in which they are used, which improves safety and correctness, and I think also readability once you adapt to it.

Yes, it could be abused, but I don't think that's a reason not to use it for its intended purpose.
Wtf. The US military does indeed exist, even to quash internal rebellion. The national guard is the branch that would deal with such a threat. The number of armed citizens alone might suprise you as well. So all in all, I am not sure what you mean. Anyone could 'attack a city in their own interest', but there are quite a few organized parties very invested in resisting that with their lives.
Sounds like you dont use the things you learn..
A not-so-close approximation to using a Lisp Machine these days is to use the GuixSD distro. It features a package manager, init system, and initial RAM disk all written in Scheme. Combine that with Emacs, the guix-emacs extension, and, if you are so inclined, a Lispy WM like StumpWM and you have a system where a large number of critical components are implemented in Lisp.
I'm OK with this.
I'd agree, Raleigh area would be a great choice. It is growing with lower cost of living than other tech centers.
This is the most convincing argument in the comments.
If you're getting downvoted and can't work out why, that XKCD is massively overused and shoehorned into conversations that have no bearing on what's being discussed.

The whole '15 competing standards' meme only really makes sense when there are 15 competing standards bodies. In the case of IP addresses, there is only one standards body, the IETF. There is one legacy standard (IPv4), one new standard (IPv6), and the only question is how best to ease the transition between the two. I see no problem if that transition relies on an interim protocol.
Cool! Thanks for the info and correct terminology.

It's good to see thoughtful competition in this space - Slack is mostly a joy to use, but we really need healthy competition. In the absence of widely-used open standards, the consequences of putting ever-increasing our institutional memories into proprietary, centrally controlled systems may depend upon how much competitive pressure the providers feel.
WASM is going to kill spidering. We can't leave HTML if we want google to be able to read the page.

I think Google is very afraid of this. Hence their push for Angular/Polymer/AMP. If they can build a good enough platform in JS they can stall the inevitable.

In the future only marketing parts of the site will use JS/HTML. The "web app" part will be some language compiled to WASM throwing frames to the canvas

Golang is pretty stable.

Also the server is behind Cloudflare which caches responses and protects from DDoS, this can be another reason for low RPS to the server.
Edit: thankyou for amending your comment about this being a good way to achieve right to roam. It's a rare thing from anyone on the internet to admit any kind of inaccuracy.

This view ignores all the history and has it exactly backwards. A full description would require at least one book, although I'd suggest starting with http://www.andywightman.com/poor-had-no-lawyers

A few things which must be taken into account:

- pre-feudal common ownership

- confiscation of land during the 1700s Jacobite rebellions. "More than a quarter of all Scottish estates of more than 5,000 acres are held by a list of aristocratic families" is not at all surprising when you consider that those families were given the land from its original owners and occupants at gunpoint by the government.

- the Highland Clearances

In short, the right to roam pre-existed; it was only removed by extremely questionable action; and the minority who owned the land fought access to it.

(For the situation in England&Wales, start at the Kinder Scout mass trespass)
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Pittsburgh yet. uber did some early self driving pilots there. CMU is there. Google has a large office there. Amazon has also started hiring software engineers for an office in Pittsburgh too. Cost of living is very cheap. Many upsides to Pittsburgh. I don't know what the city could afford in terms of subsidies though.
I fixed it now! You can script it through Lua. (through `set_left(<char>)` etc.)
The level of detail your talking about to prevent the kind of mistakes they made is so specific that you might as well just develop the thing in house since you clearly already have the experience.

Maybe what we need is a rules that any critical government infrastructure should be independently pen tested before it's bought. This should hopefully put off the inexperienced from taking on such projects and offer a way out for governments should the contract go sour.

You do not need to read any of those Intel MKL guides - they are for the developers who compile the dependencies (me in this case).

You as a user only need to have Intel's .so files on your PATH (or dylib for Mac or dll for Windows), and that's all.

As this is a discussion about ClojureCUDA, I'll just note that to use this you'd need to install CUDA. IMHO, Intel MKL is easier to install than CUDA, and noone complains of the CUDA installation complexity.

I understand your concerns, but I'd like to encourage you - it is really not difficult once you follow the installation instructions to the letter.

The paper is at best center-left; you'll find no support for any Socialist parties, and they even make fun of Corbyn's labour from time to time. Being liberal doesn't mean 'left', either. The paper always (to my knowledge) runs "PC" articles and especially opinion pieces, but that's not restricted to left-wing sources.

It's probably best put by the first sentence: the mainstream left of British political opinion - which turns out to be almost wholly center-left, even Corbyn is a social democrat.

I once did a website to specification + some additional optional, free bells and whistles. They were like this is perfect! everything is great except for some small changes....

the small changes never stopped coming until it was a new website. I kept all the major versions so they could see their changes as they developed, so that when they demoed it to a focus group one of the people accidentally navigated to the original version.

You need to do a lot better than Prop 58 before I can validate your anti-assimilation argument.

#1 - At no point does the article you posted about prop 58 (from LA Times) say strictly English/Spanish bilingual education. Good idea or not, learning another language does not make it anti-assimilation.

#2 Most European nations require learning another language. The French learn English, the Germans learn French. At no point does anyone in France feel like they are assimilating because they have to learn English.

On top of that it wasn't that long ago Sarah Palin was revolting against teaching Chinese in California. Chinese is spoken by over a billion people and is a trading partner, it seems like a useful skill to have. But the whole thing reeked of xenophobic behavior.

I am not Latino. I want my kids to learn another language. Spanish seems most useful considering the languages used south of the US, as well as South America. Most of the world's industrialized nations advocates for learning a second language. Only in the US with the cult of ignorance does someone look at bilingual education as an attack on their own culture.

All the kids in the bilingual school my children attend learn Spanish. All speak English as their primary language.

The whole revolting against learning another language, specifically Spanish, sounds like some sort of fabricated justification to take a swipe at Mexicans. Learning to speak another language != anti-assimilation. The "anti-assimilation" argument allow intellectuals to make their racist ideas sound like they have some principle.
I tend to see rural as more individualist. This map of the Nations of American is spot on. http://emerald.tufts.edu/alumni/magazine/fall2013/images/fea...

America has many nations and the lack of dedicated voters and the large difference between rural and city voters continues to expand. Just look at NYC compared to New York State during the Presidential Election. People see things as "US" vs "THEM" and that gives way to the City State right here in America.

Shell scripting: short or long format options?
I agree with these points, but I think the property costs are going to be a non-starter. I know housing is expensive in Vancouver so I'm assuming, possibly incorrectly, that office space will be at a premium as well. This puts Vancouver at a disadvantage since another metro can offer an insane tax deal plus cheaper property.
> No offense, but this just shows your ignorance of the functionality that you're leaving on the table by considering SQL a cough-legacy-cough solution.

No reason to get ad-hominem.

When I said cough-legacy-cough, I was referring to the situation you happen to be in when e.g. taking on a new project. If, for example, your company has been fully committed to Postgres since several years, your chances to change this and move to a different architecture (or even sticking to the same architecture but using a different RDBMS like MySQL) are pretty low.

I think programmers especially are attracted to music because it's an emotional medium that follows logical rules, not terribly unlike fractal art.

Unlike something such as painting, there is an absolute 'right' and 'wrong' sound. The music "won't compile" if you play a note in the chord too sharp or flat.

That and you can enjoy your hobby while working, which is a huge plus for me :)

Bluetooth audio itself uses digital compression to keep the bandwidth low, and has a whole bunch of optional codecs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Bluetooth_profiles#Adv...). Your Kenwood may not support the higher quality codecs, meaning it would sound worse than a comparable headphone jack aux cable.

I just re-watched the "courage" part of the iPhone 7 keynote where Apple gave their reasons for removing the headphone jack. There were three:

1) Lightning is a great connector for audio.

2) The headphone jack takes a lot of space and they want to use that space for other stuff.

3) Apple has a "vision of how audio should work" on phones and they want to "get there as soon as possible." That was a lead-in to talking about Airpods

Note that they underscored that #3 was the "most important" reason they made the move.

#2 always made sense to me and I gave Apple a bit of a pass on removing the jack for that reason, but this thread's article shows that it was bogus, at least for the iphone 7.

That leaves #1 and #3, both of which involve Apple taking a a bigger cut of headphone sales. While #1 is true, it's not where the rest of the audio market is. And #3 (remember their "most important" reason) basically can be translated to "We want to sell you Airpods."

So it seems it really could have been all about Apple making more money, not about their users. Possible exception being long-term benefits created by moving the market in a particular direction.

(disclaimer: Android user, who prefers using bluetooth headphones anyway, but at least that means I don't have a horse in this particular race... :) )

Now we have Slack, Discord, Gitter, Microsoft Teams, and Atlassian Stride.

I'm not sure when chat rooms became a business tool. Personally, I find myself distracted more than anything from all the notifications these apps cause, I get less done.

I have to be sure to quit every chat app and put my phone in "do not disturb" to disconnect and focus, and then I get coworkers mad that I'm not online.

> There's a conflict between these. If your father got his wealth by driving out subsistence farmers at gunpoint, to what extent can you say it's nothing to do with you and that your wealth is a totally meritocratic inheritance?

Because it wasn't your father, it was your...how many generations are there between us and the middle ages, again? This is a time jump in the article itself:

> Historically, the British aristocracy’s defining feature was not a noble aspiration to serve the common weal but a desperate desire for self-advancement. They stole land under the pretence of piety in the early middle ages, they seized it by conquest, they expropriated it from the monasteries and they enclosed it for their private use under the pretence of efficiency.

> .....

> And when democracy finally and rudely shunted them aside, they found new means of preserving their extravagant riches without the tedium of pretending they sought the common interest. Far from dying away, they remain very much alive.

Moreover, the UK has been a democracy for quite some time now, and has had ample time to address inheritance law, and land ownership law. Like the article states:

> That is no accident. British laws on land tenure, inheritance tax, corporate governance and discretionary trusts still make it easy to hide wealth from public view. Land is subsidised, and taxed more lightly than residential property. Unearned income bears less of a burden than earned income.

The article claims that this is the secret to the power of the aristocracy. This power is given to them by laws, designed and voted in by MPs, who are in turn voted in by the people.

Yeah, exactly this. The parent is describing a general contractor, not a carpenter. Even general contractors tend to subcontract out the specialized stuff, like designing the house, installing computerized gear, etc.

A carpenter knows enough to know not to try and do the electrical work, because he'll probably do it wrong.
