It is also because CLISP is unmaintaned. But the only implementation dependant code I remember is the socket code.

But CLISP wasn't unmaintaned when the book was written más its default REPL is much better than other implementations. It was a good choice at the time.

I've been using a manager called Enpass [1] for over a year now and really like it.

It has browser extensions (Chrome, FF, & Safari), local storage (with many cloud-sync options), and apps for Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, etc.

The desktop versions are free and the mobile version is about $10/platform (lifetime license).

I have no connection with the company, just a very pleased user.

> ... no obvious way to tell which is the One True Chain.

One obvious way - whether you agree with it or not - is to use hashrate. It's quite unlikely that both chains will have a nearly-equal hashrate for a sustained period of time.

No, you're right. For portfolios It's all about the covariance matrix. Having said that, there is probably still the more banal reality of pensions or institutional funds actually needing a portfolio manager to go out and buy bitcoin, which probably would be a publicitly/legal nightmare if done poorly, or if the first person to do it gets burned.

> Python, Ruby, JavaScript have all found huge niches since then.

And Perl has a much smaller niche, and JavaScript's niche is hard to pin down since it's often just a compilation target for typed languages (Dart, TypeScript, etc.).

Language marketshare ebbs and flows, but I don't think the overall ratio has changed much. Statically typed languages are still largely dominant.

I can't think of any domain that was dominated by a statically typed language that a dynamically typed language took over, and every new domain that cropped up with dynamically typed solutions has equally good statically typed competitors.

So when a site is hacked, the hackers replace the email and public key in this file with their own (or one that goes to /dev/null), and the site's owners are never informed when someone else notices the breach and tries to use this file as intended.

Sha1 hasn't been the recommended best practice for a very long time. (Really ever.) Bcrypt dates back to 1999. Even if you give it 10 years for evaluation it would have to be considered in 2009. And indeed it was recommended in 2007, 5 years before this breach. RFC2898 (PBKDF2) came out in 2000, 12 years before this breach. Scrypt was released in 2009, so I could understand not adopting it by 2012 out of concern for insufficient vetting. Sha1 would only have been acceptable between 1995 (its release) and 2000 or so. Though even then the practice of key stretching was known: IIRC /etc/shadow has done that since the beginning, running 1000 iterations of MD5 by default. Looking it up that was released in 1987. 25 years!

Remember COMPUTE!?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compute%21
Imagine if you as a programmer suddenly woke up at age 30 to find programming as a career was dead due to AI. The government is willing to invest time and money...into you retraining as a professional juggler, in the hope you would start your own street performing job, because the wave of the future is tourist performances.

Juggling was the farthest thing from your mind growing up, and you aren't particularly talented or skilled in manual dexterity. So for you to try to be one, you need to put in a LOT of effort, and it may be for something that you aren't good at, and will lose the few permanent positions as a employed juggler to some kid at age 20 who has made juggling his whole life and has the talent for it. You might also need to accept that you might be a contract juggler even if you do manage to retrain, and that it might all be wasted because you might be too old to be hired, or that they taught you to juggle pins when you needed to constantly update your repertoire and juggle chainsaws.

This is what retraining for STEM looks like for someone who has never considered it. Most programmers never really get that they in essence like juggling, and that's what enabled them to do their career...there is so much winnowing out even at the college level that STEM has selected for people who not only like STEM and have a lot of talent for it, they willing spend their off time working on STEM related stuff, often for free. If you don't have that powerful motivation from a young age, and need to learn or retrain for it, it's a lot grimmer, even if you are intelligent or successful in other areas. I use juggling because for most people, it's probably about as hard to be a professional at as computing is for non-STEM inclined.
Well, I guess it's subjective, but I find it uglier than the previous design. The obsession with excessive flatness and the deterioration of user experience in favour of "prettier" visuals never sat well with me.
Excellent analysis. Chunking is essential to the human brain.
This is fine if the user is fully informed in advance and has your consent before using the software. It is absolutely unacceptable to do this behind their backs.

I tried to support Firefox for as long as I could, but their mixed messages about what they stood for + poor performance (at the time) eventually forced my hand in switching browsers. However, they did apologize after the huge backlash post-Pocket. Combined with all the news about FF 57 and Quantum, I was intrigued enough to consider giving them a second chance. This move though... it is so much worse than any other misstep they've done. From my point of view, this just seems like an opportunistic attempt at slipping something by right before one of their biggest releases / PR pushes. I cannot see myself ever believing in Mozilla the organization anymore.

There are some. Exxon's performance shares vest 50% over 5 years and 50% in retirement, with a 10 year minimum. One of the problems with this approach is in order to get executives to forgo their compensation for that many years you often have to pay them more, which gets into pay magnitude concerns.

Norway's sovereign wealth fund Norges is starting to encourage companies to adopt very long term time horizons for equity awards and to move away from the specific, complex performance-vesting plans most US companies rely on today, though most institutional investors and companies are skeptical of that approach.
In the population of districts case, there was an objective measurement: the difference in population of two districts.

Then, the defendents made a subjective argument that they were "close enough". However, the Supreme Court doesn't like to replace an objective measurement (population) with a subjective one ("close enough"ness).

So, in this case we have an objective measurement -- voter efficiency -- and a subjective one -- "what do other maps look like". If we can sometimes reject the objective measurement in favor of the subjective one, then it's not really ready to be applied as the standard by our highest court.
I find it interesting how much flack Swift takes for not having a stable ABI. Many contemporary but older languages (Go, Rust) haven't even attempted it. Go binaries aren't even really safe to use across macOS releases, since they get hardcoded to make syscalls directly.

App that has changed life of many people
From the conclusion of this 1994 paper: https://www.its.caltech.edu/~dg/crunch_art.html
"Let me finish by summarizing what I've been trying to tell you. We stand at an historic juncture in the history of science. The long era of exponential expansion ended decades ago, but we have not yet reconciled ourselves to that fact. The present social structure of science, by which I mean institutions, education, funding, publications and so on all evolved during the period of exponential expansion, before The Big Crunch. They are not suited to the unknown future we face. Today's scientific leaders, in the universities, government, industry and the scientific societies are mostly people who came of age during the golden era, 1950 - 1970. I am myself part of that generation. We think those were normal times and expect them to return. But we are wrong. Nothing like it will ever happen again. It is by no means certain that science will even survive, much less flourish, in the difficult times we face. Before it can survive, those of us who have gained so much from the era of scientific elites and scientific illiterates must learn to face reality, and admit that those days are gone forever. I think we have our work cut out for us."

There's plenty of gamified learning out there. It's just not something most educators want to use for some reason. Learning has to be boring and dull after all!

Meanwhile, I started learning english (not a native speaker) at age 5 because all the broadcasted cartoons were in english, with subtitles. I remember my dad loading up gamified math puzzle games on the Commodore 64 for me to play. And this was some 32 years ago.

I don't know why it's so underused. Perhaps educator are afraid they'll be seen as lazy or not serious about their teaching if they use such measures?

What I do know is that gamification was one of the best ways of being educated as a kid.

> However, the question is whether a .. [Flutter, Cordova, React-native etc app] .. will be Good Enough when the alternative is writing two separate apps

This is a more important consideration than is often given credit for, perhaps because the perspective we most often read about is the high end of the industry. But vast amounts of software is written to extremely tight budgets, often for small businesses, where there is flat-out zero chance of two native apps being written. It's choose-your-platform, or something cross-platform.

For very many of these kinds of apps, which are pretty much invisible from the blogs/HN/medium world, RN/Flutter/Cordova etc are perfectly appropriate. The fact that these may not be the best platforms from which to use the very latest, most hardware-entwined OS features, or to do highly custom 'delightful' bits of UX, is often in this world quite irrelevant.

3. Check the list of results to see which appear to be reasonably complex and of similar construction to determine which are likely yours. People with "good" passwords are very much in the minority, so this should be pretty straight-forward and mostly automatable.

4. Manually try to determine your scheme, which according to you is probably doable with this information.

Not saying it'd get you for sure, but if your replacement of a password manager is hamstrung by knowledge of at most three of your previously used passwords, you're probably doing yourself a disservice.
On a purely practical point: ell zero. Probably the two worst characters to combine in this way, because in various contexts and fonts it’ll look like the wrong thing and thus be confusing to users. In uppercase, the zero looks like a capital o (L0 looks like LO), and in lowercase the ell looks like a one (l0 looks like 10).
