I think more recent research also suggests Pb pollution levels as a predictive factor, with a 22 year lead time (yes, pun intended).

So the use of tetra-ethyl lead in vehicle fuel from 1920 to 1975 in the US roughly correlates with greater nationwide violence between 1942 and 1997. Specific tracts known to have ongoing lead contamination problems show stronger correlations.

So if lead pollution had not been tackled in the 70s, poor people in the alternate-timeline 2017 might be even more murdery, now that wealth imbalances are worse. Their opioid epidemic might look more like the 1980s crack epidemic.

Having a camera constantly recording in a public area is not something that I find reasonable. Cameras do not announce their presence. Cameras do not get tired, or leave. Cameras made for law enforcement assume guilt.

Flickr Mobile Engineers - San Francisco | Fulltime | ONSITE | https://www.flickr.com

Starting immediately, we are looking for talented engineers to join the emotional world of Flickr Mobile Engineering. If you get fired up writing mobile applications that deliver photos, engagement, and community features to millions on a daily basis, then we want to talk to you!

We have a track record of innovation to build on, and a strong desire to radically improve Flickr, both for new users and casual visitors as well as the power users who form the core of the community. There's a tremendously long list of new features, programs and technologies set to come online this year. If you've ever wanted to a chance to have a big impact (Flickr has millions and millions of users and billions of photos), this is it.

Candidates must have experience with Objective-C iOS development, or Android development.

Ping me directly at seville@flickr.com with your resume if you're interested!
I remain unconvinced that running an entire separate practice is obviously cheaper than adding primary care doctors to ERs. I'm sure it makes more financial sense given the current regulatory and reimbursement regimes.

I mean, when I've been in the local ER it hasn't exactly been a hive of urgent activity, you chat with the intake nurse and then watch her sit there and do things other than interact with patients for half an hour.

Hmmm I think it's important to emphasise that anarcho-capitalism necessarily relies on coercion, but it's probably a strawman when speaking about its philosophical defenders. Libertarians want to maximise the account of freedom they build up from the originating premise of self-ownership. They are perfectly willing to license the use of coercion to uphold that propertarian system of rights. What they have issue with is the existence of an overweening state that has de facto and de jure power over you no matter what. They want the means of coercion to be privatised; to be outsourced to local militias, private security firms, and the like.

Of course, like all ideologies, they don't think of this as a system of accumulated power that exploits destitute workers and relies on dystopian bands of warlords to beat anyone who protests into submission, but as something like 'a pure state of freedom'.

Lisp teaches you that there's always a better tool for the job than something that's already in your toolkit. More than any other language I've worked with, Lisp makes it incredibly easy and low-friction to write domain-specific languages to solve the exact problem you're working with.

That's not always a good thing -- it can make working with a foreign codebase difficult -- but it's definitely a powerful concept when applied correctly.
Well I don't know about J.K. Rowling but Notch kind of stepped on all the players that supported the game during alpha when he sold it to Microsoft. When I purchased the game back at alpha 0.5 or something, I was paying for any future uprades and such according to the user agreement I accepted. Once Microsoft bought it and rewrote it, that agreement no longer applies to these new supported versions of the game, only the Java version. It is what it is but it does irk me a bit to have to pay again for something I bought with the understanding that I was paying for all future upgrades.
>Can anyone sell me on why I should use clojure over say, any of the other nice Lisp-1s, given that I don't care about java.

It's the same question I make myself, since after learning Clojure here I am, still using Common Lisp happily ever after.

Well, if you think that data should be immutable by default,

if you really need readymade syntax sugar for hash table and the likes,

if you don't have any need for object oriented programming, not even once a year, and if you particularly don't feel any appeal for what is by far the most advanced OOP system out there (CLOS),

if you love the Java ecosystem and need to be reminded of the J2SE libraries by using them directly all the time to do things other languages have built inside their own stdlib (but Clojure does not),

if you don't feel wrong knowing that your code won't be compatible with the .NET CLR (or other platforms) without rewriting substantial parts, despite the language still being called "Clojure",

if you don't know that basically all you can do with Clojure, including talking to Java (and also C) libs, and all sorts of concurrency things, you can also do with good old, high performance Common Lisp...

... then welcome to Clojure! Clojure is easy to learn, fashionable, well supported, and popular.

I guess that if you are into developing single page applications, Clojure can be a neat choice.

No, I don't believe so. Take taxes, taxes are coercive because if you refuse to follow tax law then the government enacts violence against you right?

Now take property, property is coercive because if you refuse to follow property law then the government enacts violence against you.

It's one to one.
Learning a functional language has been eye-opening, but I've always struggled with Lisp. It was Erlang that finally clicked with me.

I would suggest, if you haven't already learned one, to find some FP language that looks interesting. Elm, perhaps, or Elixir. I'm not a fan of "hybrid" languages like Scala; finding one that hews closely to the FP ideas will be more useful, I think, in learning how to think functionally.

Any new language that doesn't operate exactly like the ones you already know can give you new ideas on how to program. Don't get bogged down in the expectations others have; just find one that piques your interest and dive in.
> You are correct, and there is something the US can do about high drug costs. We pass a law requiring Big Pharma to sell drugs in the US at the planet's lowest negotiated price

So if a big drug company sells a drug very cheap in some poor third world country, they have to sell it for the same price in the US?

Wouldn't the most likely outcome of that be that they stop selling their drugs in poor countries?

It should only try to switch the user's default search engine if the user hasn't explicitly set a default search engine. You can verify this by install a Firefox 56 build from the ftp archive, explicitly changing the default search engine, and then letting it update to Firefox 57.

The heart of the problem is that traffic cameras assume guilt.

Having constantly vigilant eyes watching for anyone to do one exact thing wrong is totally unreasonable, because those eyes to not announce their presence, and the definition of "wrong" is not directly quantifiable.

Police focus too much on quantifiable things like speed, where there is a lot more nuance to the surrounding situation.
I think you’d have a hard time proving Trump is a white supremacists. I’m also sure most of his supporters are not either. This is the problem we keep demonising the other side. Instead we should endeavour to understand them. You don’t convince people to agree with your ideas by calling them evil.
Some people are already trying and succeeding. And since a lot of these signals already incorporated into the market prices of various financial instruments, you can apply deep learning techniques to these available prices (and time series) to get similar results, to make buy and sell decisions/algorithms.
Well, you lose the return type as well. Generally in these cases the app is fired up in the debugger and stopped on one of these methods, then dynamically introspected to figure out what it is. Since all Objective-C objects carry around a representation of their class, it's possible for the runtime to provide this to us.
I'm currently reading it. It's been pretty good.
I think the old saying "hurting people hurt people" applies. Maybe goes beyond parents ,as in "it takes a village to raise a child". I wonder if you have had good role models that you turned out well?

As far as gun laws,even in boston the US constitution applies so people get guns. Look at japan,their gun laws are so strict,their gangs(yakuza) very rarely keep guns. Sometimes cop's don't even bother to bring guns when raiding gangs! Gun laws work,so long as it isn't half baked with all sorts of exceptions and short prison times. " No guns for all civilians" with a "7-15 year prison term upon violation" is what I meany by gun laws.

Anyways,I hope you prove me wrong and do great by the kids in your city.
What makes something "the most useful software in the world"?

There's a bunch of useful software which isn't run that way: Microsoft {Windows, Word, Excel, PowerPoint}. The software which runs Facebook, Google search, and Google's YouTube. iOS.

How much does Google Chrome development "resemble anarchist, communist ideas"? Or Android, for that matter.

Minix is in every modern Intel processor, but I also don't think it was developed by the ecosystem you describe.
> Even better, we really should get rid of the "make your own resume idea" and come up with a standard resume format by industry. Companies can then add supplements as needed.

This would backfire terribly. As someone who's mostly done macOS development over the last 3 decades, I can't tell you how many jobs have made assumptions that all of your work was done in Windows, with Visual Studio. If there were some sort of standard format, it would make very dumb assumptions like that and I'd be unable to fill it out. Fuck it. I'd rather just submit a resume I came up with on my own. I can tailor it to the employer I'm working with easily.

This was a much more enjoyable video than I was expecting. The audio quality really had me tempted to skip, so I encourage others to not let that turn them away.

The quote which I will paraphrase that "lisp is not freed from having to justify why you would use it." This is huge and the section before it going off about how condescension is a terrible enemy of the language is one that I would hope more people contemplate.

Major kudos to the presenter!
The parent found it strange that a js cli was needed as well. I pointed at atwoodslaw as a reason why duplicate tools can be found.

I'm looking forward to hearing a long-form rational of the :args :ret :fn function instrumenting decisions, and seeing if the devs see it as an easy choice or up for debate.

It feels really uncomfortable declaring a full spec for a function & instrumenting it, then getting feedback if the args don't conform to spec but Clojure being A-OK if the return value doesn't.

I understand well that in theory the functioning of a function can be fully checked in a proactive test framework, but the process for testing return values is way clunkier and less fun than testing argument values. It just seems weird that the function has a spec, the function doesn't conform and Clojure doesn't seem to be bothered.

I can see it will only be a matter of days until I have Orchestra installed for all my projects.
Basically it's who you'd think. Some investors will get their money back, some will get a bit more than others. The founders will be fine, but probably more due to their role than their stock.

My counter argument is I’ve tried to take this advice multiple times in my life and each time came to the (re)conclusion that I will never be able to think of it as anything but lying and manufactured conflict. Some of us just don’t have brains that allow for that kind of thinking, at least not without severe anxiety and discomfort.

I can’t sell. I’ll never be able to sell. I think that makes me feel like a more honest person. I’m okay with that trade off.

> Last time Second Measure came up on HN (April 2016), someone replied that the underlying data came from Yodlee.[1] Is that still the case?

Yes.
"Fake it till you make it" is usually applied to situations other than the one he describes. If you're already an employee on some project, working on a team that you trust and work well with, then sure, just ask your peers how to do it. At that point, you've already "made it".

"Fake it till you make it" usually applies to "how do you get to that point?" If you're a fresh college grad with no particular accomplishments to your name, how do you convince people that they should invest time and energy teaching you the ropes so that you're even qualified to work on a team with peers who you can ask for help? Because the default answer when a stranger asks to pick your brain to get into a hot, highly-competitive field is usually "Yeah, sure, maybe when I get around to it", if you get an answer at all. And if you're asking for a job, where they pay you money, then unless you've carefully chosen a field where they're desperate for people regardless of your prior background, you're going to have a tough time demonstrating value without at least some form of "faking it", even if that's just networking politely, cold-calling, and doing some basic research on the companies you're applying to.
I wonder if they'll drop Android support.
That's fine, but what happens when you end up on the radar of some radical group, for whatever reason, and innumerable people start showing up with the singular intent of disrupting things and causing shit? What if it's multiple groups, some Twitter based, some 4chan, some Reddit, all set out to get you? What tools do you have to protect against that?

Discord needs ways of mitigating this, of going into lockdown mode, to deal with exceptional situations. As their platform grows in scale the liability increases exponentially. Without counter-measures they expose themselves and their users to ever increasing risk.

GitHub has had to make a few radical alterations in their core features to deal with rampant, malicious abuse. Discord will have to do the same or they will fail.
While I agree with you, it's important to note that the defining trait of Lisp isn't that it's a functional language.

It can be functional, just as it can be object oriented or procedural, but those labels matter less to what Lisp is than does the intense focus on things like metaprogramming, in my opinion.
I bought a sturdy camping lighter. It was the most reliable lighter I'd had, first time every time. Until I tried to use it at 14,000 feet. Nothing. Wouldn't work at all. Luckily I had a cheap, disposable lighter as backup. It worked fine above 20,000 feet.
The problem is when people fail to distinguish "helpful assumptions" from "actual facts"... I have just today gutted some worse-than-useless GeoIP functionality from a form that was facing customers of our organization so it could guess at their country, language, and city without asking.

BI guys put in the feature request some years ago so they could make pretty maps (but ultimately take no actionable steps based on these), and call center were then taking these guesses as facts (think getting a call and having someone chummy ask "Hey, how's the weather in <city you don't live in>" in the wrong language...). What's worse is we then added some user-facing fields asking for the location information, and it was impossible to tell apart user-supplied info from the IP-derived info!

It took fighting with BA and BI, but we finally decided it was stupid and were able to simply remove it. (BI will have to "fix their maps" by doing their own assumptions, outside of the application)

I personally found that, without subgrid support yet, you really can't do many of the things that you'd logically want to use a grid for (e.g. aligning sub-elements of a modules with those of the same module in a row or column). I'd try doing a quick prototype to ensure that grid even is an improvement over flexbox for your specific use case.
There's no blocking functionality in IPFS yet - the plan is to have customizable opt-in blocklists (and allowlists) for content and peers, though, so communities can govern themselves regarding what content is desired and what's not.
