Macros are less nice in non-lispy languages.

If the language ast and syntax aren't iconomorphic then you add a learning curve and need to insulate users from compiler internal changesy quasy quoting doesn't work everywhere.

In a compiled languange first class macros also add significant compile time.

A couple languages have them like nim's macros , haskell's TemplateHaskell extension and Rusts compiler plugins, though.
I was confused by that part too because the article goes on to say teaching colleges "have an incentive to offer residencies in specialties from which they can get the most revenue per resident."

One way this makes sense is how Medicare pays teaching hospitals. A hospital gets $X for a procedure code. If they are a teaching hospital, they get $X+2% (can't remember the exact bump but it's relatively small).

The more expensive the procedure, the bigger the bump for being a teaching hospital. That's the incentive to get residents practicing expensive specialties.
I think I have all the parts.

I will see what I can do about it this weekend.

I don't really understand how net neutrality can hurt smaller ISPs. Net neutrality just prevents ISPs from using certain monetization schemes. It's not like you have to buy special equipment for net neutrality reasons, or maintain records to prove you're compliant, right?

I lived in a Honda civic for ~2 months in Oakland/Berkeley, and am semi nostalgic about it now that I have a regular housing situation. I would usually mess around at a late night cafe until ~11-12, use the bathroom, go setup car for sleeping and then drive to a good spot. Wake up and go straight to the gym, light workout, sauna, shower, bam ready to go before 8ish. The main downfall was that I am 6'1 and a civic is not ideal for comfortable sleeping.

If you really want to try it though just do it some night, I started by just folding the seat down and putting a sleeping bag and pillow across it. It is pretty uncomfortable, but the absence of repetition really slows time and makes each day seem more vivid. Also if you have any qualms about using public restrooms you will get over them real quick.

Speaking of floats, I highly recommend John Gustafson's book, The End of Error: Unum Computing:

https://www.crcpress.com/The-End-of-Error-Unum-Computing/Gus...

It is an amazing compendium of the many ways in which floats fail to give any guarantees in practice. In some cases, due to the format itself, and also because many subtle issues are indicated via internal processor values and flags that are simply not accessible in high-level languages. In addition, the book presents Unums, an alternative number format with several extremely interesting properties that make computations much less error-prone.

Prof. Gustafson has since also presented several additional formats with much stronger guarantees than IEEE floats:

Ask HN: What are top picks on PluralSight for software architects?
At work we recently obtained full access to all Pluralsight content. The huge amount of courses make it that even skimming on tittle and few minutes course material are not sufficient to conclude on a list of useful courses to follow. As a software architect at an enterprise firm, what would be great courses to follow on software architecture?

Things I’m looking for:

- Generic architecture of large scale software systems

- how to deal with large legacy code bases and existing customers

- architecting APIs

- backwards compatibility (multi-year, >15y)

- testing legacy code bases (though I think “Working effectively with legacy code” by Michael C. Feathers is as good as it gets)

- dependency injection design principles

- security and privacy related

Things I’m not looking for:

- courses on language X (too specific, changes per problem, better ways to learn)

- Architecture for beginners; courses should highlight architecting for enterprise solutions.

Thanks!

>Most lisp docs will tell you to use macros only when necessary

One also declares variables when necessary, and one also creates arrays when necessary, etc. But imagine a programming language that doesn't support arrays. It would be a nightmare if you need to do certain scientific computations.

So in the same way, yes, not having a (proper, Lisp-like) macro system surely hurts a lot, once you realize how it makes certain problems become really easy.

And, by the way, one should write macros when necessary. In Lisp, we're using macros most of the time!

>Isn't loop essentially a macro (probably special op) that a lot of people hate?

And other Lisp programmers like the LOOP macro, since it can allow for very readable and concise code to do something simple that should stay simple to read.

Examples:

(loop for x from 1
for y = (* x 10)
while (< y 100)
do (print (* x 5))
collect y)

Result:

5
10
15
20
25
30
35
40
45
(10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90)

Example 2:

(loop for x in '(a b c d e)
for y in '(1 2 3 4 5)
collect (list x y) )

Result:

((A 1) (B 2) (C 3) (D 4) (E 5))

Bitcoin Mining Now Consuming More Electricity Than Many Countries
I sold a fair number of bitcoin early on (30-50 IIRC) for a few dollars a piece. I feel like it was the right call at the time (paid for a new graphics card and a few nights out, and a few economics students with whom I was friends and I expected it to bubble and crash completely -- which it mostly did, then has repeatedly rallied after that), but the feeling of "What could have been" comes on every now and again.

> I think he makes a strong case that regulating monopolies is the role of the FTC

He's echoing the industry on this, the industry that has (succesfully, so far, though the full 9th Circuit will be rehearing the issue) also argued that the FTC is barred by law from regulating them.

Here's the position.

To the FCC: “You shouldn't regulate anti-competitive behavior in our industry, even as a means to serve the clear and precise purposes the FCC is given in statute, because competition in general is the FTC’s job.”

To the FTC: “You can't regulate anti-competitive behavior in our industry, because most major participants are common carriers whether or not broadband is a Title II service, and you are prohibited from regulating common carriers even in their non-common-carrier activities, and any regulation you adopted that only applied to non-common-carrier participants would just concentrate more power in the common carriers.”

I simply haven't found many bugs in (mostly auto-generated) getters/setters during the past 25 years, but it's purely anecdata of course.

>While I don't know of any hard evidence, it passes my internal plausibility test that if some of the "2 screen" functions become "1 screen" function, bugs might be less likely.

Yes, mine too, but only for randomly chosen pieces of code. What I don't believe is that the linear correlation between SLOC and bugs that studies have found in large codebases allows us to pick and choose the lines of code that are easy to eliminate and expect the number of bugs to drop proportionately.
It's about the stuff that you just don't want to do. It can be because they're boring, it can be because they're overly complicated or otherwise scary, bottom line is the incapability to control your basic urge to avoid things that are unpleasant. My best guess is that some of us just never properly learned that skill as kids.

You're citing marginal[1] cases of people that got disincentivized away. That doesn't change the fact that the demand vastly exceeds the supply and has a well-trod solution.

Also, the returns aren't simply monetary, but the fact that you have much higher social status in general that outweighs a lower net salary, even if it got to that point.

>At that point, it's more efficient to talk about NPs and PAs than piling on more debt to physicians.

Or, as I said before, lifting the pointless requirement to have an unrelated four year degree. Or applying a whole host of QA feedback loops to the process. That doesn't change the fact that Medicare funding cannot reasonably be called the bottleneck here, for the same reason a subsidy can never be called a bottleneck when there is excess demand.

How do you get your CEO to pay for the monitoring and other breach preparation if you've just told him that "We have air-tight security, we cannot get hacked"?

CSO: We have airtight security, we cannot get hacked.

CEO: Great!

CSO: Please approve and fund this plan to handle a breach in case we are hacked.

CEO: But you just told me we can't get hacked.

CSO: Right, it's impossible.

CEO: So why do we need to spend money preparing for it?

CSO: Just in case.

CEO: Just in case what? You just told me it can't happen.

That seems a little like asking for money to prepare for an alien invasion or a zombie attack.

There should be some effort to get more moderate Republicans involved. There are plenty of Republicans who support net neutrality, but do not consider that as important an issue as other issues on which Republicans and Democrats differ, such as immigration, taxes, gun rights, abortion, and many others.

I think that most of the less moderate Republican voters who oppose net neutrality mostly do so because their representatives and party officials tell them to. It's not like, say, their opposition to abortion which they came to on their own and then used that to help choose their party.

If that is true, it should be possible to move the GOP to a place where net neutrality is something that a Republican candidate can either support or oppose and still have a chance of winning a GOP primary or caucus.

"Point the boat in the right direction and row" is the dominant paradigm in the industry.

The concept of "technical debt" is I think harmful because it is a two word phrase that stops thought. In the real world if you want to take on commercial debt, the bank and/or bondholders and originators are going to want to see a detailed financial analysis that will indicate they will get their money back.

Probably 80% of effort on software is maintenance, but it is rare for any project to start out thinking about the cost of maintenance.

The Ejection Tie Club
Hunch detector yes, but also human experience with how past pipe laying decisions went. The past people making those decisions weren't just making randomized decisions - they were likely thinking about property lines, and about of running through difficult to dig areas or likelihood of areas that might get dug into unintentionally. Humans interpreting humans, sometimes using talismans to focus an unconscious thought process.

It would probably be made into a better performing process if they got rid of the tokens, and someone thought about it, wrote up what they thought past layment decisions were based upon, and taught others as well as evaluated how well that worked, but maybe not worth that level of formalization/optimization either.
