Installing leiningen is not trivial on all platforms (Eg: Windows).Even on Linux distro repos may contain older versions of leiningen that subtly break things. Perhaps it would be better if leiningen is part of closure distribution rather than existing as separate entity.
> I know what's in my heart, and it's nothing but positive intentions.

I’m sure you mean the very best.

However, one of the most interesting things about racism, sexism etc is happens not because people are evil assholes—it’s that we’ve all grown up in society that is still kinda sexist and racist, and that becomes part of us whether we want it or not.

My heart has the best intentions too, but I also recognize that I don’t always see others perfectly fairly because of these built-in models. My goal is to recognize and examine those thoughts that so I think them less—not give myself a pass because I’m a “good person”.

~20M transaction per month are an arbitrary limit. The economic majority recently decided against increasing that limit, but this doesn't mean it's not going to get increased at some later point.
There is no way for the general public to distinguish between arguments presented in this way that are genuine, and ones that are pseudoscientific. It's never ok to knowingly present information which is unscientific, to achieve a political end. It can be discredited and may do more damage to the cause than good. In this particular case, polar bear populations are not observed to be in decline, so it's a poor argument to make, which can easily be discredited with real data.
Which makes the aggregate a single database.
False; peers validate and propagate information across the network. You don't have to be creating blocks in order to validate and propagate them.
Most start ups want you to have a lot of experience so they don't have to train you. That level of experience isn't found in most people in their 20s. The older age bracket I'd wager are finance and venture capital types. Startups are mostly toys for rich people

Well, at least I now know why you down-voted :) Sometimes I ask because I feel a comment was properly written, non-offensive and with reasonable argumentation. I put time and effort into finding the right words and thought through my argumentation multiple times before writing it down. Since English is not my mother-tongue, I'd like to know if i caused a possible misunderstanding. Hopefully others share my belief that down-voting should be reserved to punish abusive behaviour.
I've seen this at nonprofits I've worked for. 5% of donors account for 95% of revenues. Sometimes it's even more extreme. But I think that distribution is very, very typical. With the exception of immediate and broad causes (Obama campaign, Bernie campaign, Red Cross relief for whatever disaster), small donors are not what keeps a cause going. It's the people with serious money to give who form a relationship with the org that make the difference.
I tend to see a lot more 30+ founders outside of the bubble around high-profile, high-tech businesses, which naturally gets a lot of coverage on sites like HN.

Also, they're talking about startups that were in good enough shape to raise VC funding. It's possible that a lot more than 1 in 7 of all startups is founded by under-30s but that the lack of experience means those startups disproportionately fail to reach a stage where they are worth funding by VCs.
I can basically understand if you said "you need to support composer (be on packagist).

But seriously? The only psr that would apply is autoloading (which it does use) and code style.

Given the amount of random fucking shit people include via language level package managers, if your concern is "oh the braces are in the wrong spot" I think you need to re-evaluate your priorities

You can also see quite violent Hong Kong movies with police officers shooting fleeing criminals in crowded public places, but as far as I am aware they don't have the same issues.

One could also easily point to the much higher probability that a criminal has a gun in the United States, although I do not think that that alone is sufficient.
Our understanding of Bitcoin has progressed by leaps and bounds since the system has been running for 9 years. The whitepaper is not the end-all, be-all of Bitcoin. Even Satoshi did not fully realize what he built. For more details: https://www.coindesk.com/nobody-understands-bitcoin-thats-ok...
That’s called propoganda. You advocate using propoganda to justify a cause you have predetermined to be scientifically backed. Why not just use the scientific backing directly?

this is just idiotic propaganda from Core idiots. Non-mining nodes do nothing. They are like spectators at a football game, they get loug and angry but cannot change the score, only miners can. The only thing a non-mining node can do to reject a block is remove itself from that network. Mining nodes reject blocks by NOT mining on top of it and extend valid chains to be longest and thus orphan invalid blocks.
From the article that you linked:

"But before Duterte took office, as president-elect, he sent a chilling message to a press corps ready to report on his presidency: "Just because you're a journalist, you're not exempted from assassination, if you are a son of a bitch," he said casually at a press conference. "Free speech won't save you, my dear."

>> The problem is when a foreign journalist, like Gianna Toboni, writes something she know little about so let me give you a little more background about that statement. What Duterte said that "you're not exempted from assassination, if you are a son of a bitch" was NOT a threat but a FACT. It is a FACT that decades before the Duterte presidency journalists here were being killed simply because journalists (FACT) here can be paid and used for black propaganda by politicians. We know what he was talking about.
I think you are getting down voted for questioning TDD. TDD seems to be another religion. You're insulting a sacred cow for some.

Anyways, I would really like the avenue of thought you've planted in me to flesh out: risk prevention vs mitigation and how it applies to software development.
Wondering this also. Could be that the modes we see are all that's currently available.

To be quite honest, it doesn't matter if folks think that non-mining nodes are unimportant - they can't force folks who /are/ running full validating non-mining nodes into accepting arbitrary rule changes to the protocol. That's what's important.

Kind of neat. What isn't quite clear from the docs to me, to what extend does Tagbox comes pretrained vs relying on the user feeding it images and tags? Seems like one would need the expensive subscription pretty quickly, which for private use just doesn't make any sense at all.

Are you really so unaware of how bad the reputation of recruiters is in the tech industry? If so I'm afraid you might be severely out of touch.

You might note that my comment resonated with more than a few people considering its position at the top of the discussion.

>"This statement is patently absurd and offensive."

It's odd that rather than consider any merits of another's observations you instead dismiss them as "absurdity" without providing a single argument as to why.

Bad reputations evolve over time. And "recruiting" by the way is not new. It has been a staple in HR since the first dot com boom.

Your claim that there are lots of people out there who are bad at their jobs is nothing more than the moral equivalence fallacy. For someone so offended that's a pretty weak argument.

And lastly if you reread my comment you will see that I said it is not all and recognized that there are some excellent recruiters out there. Its the third sentence.
There will be large rewards for companies that do tackle these types of problems though. It's still early in the game.
those two things go hand in hand.
I usually only down vote people who begin or include 'i know I'm going to get down voted...' in their original post. If someone edits asking for explanation I usually give them leeway... It tells me they are monitoring the conversation and willing to engage thoughtfully.
Npm (javascript's NPM) has over 500,000 libraries right now. Do this makes JS a better language than Clojure, or a better choice? No way. And everytime some javascript fan would go against Clj/ClojureScript use citing "Clojure has 25x less libraries", i will defend Clojure.

How many libs do we really need? So far i have found all libs I needed for Common Lisp. Many of them have high quality, at least in the sense that the code is easy to understand.

Most needed stuff is there - db access, key/value store, cryptography, authentication, html templating, JSON, xml, web servers, software transactional memory, parallelization, compression, networking, foreign interfaces, music, midi, all sorts of data structures, and of course tons of AI related stuff. This is not like NPM where there is a lib solely dedicated solely to left-padding a string, and when you take down this lib the whole ecosystem collapses big-time (true story).

Also, just as Clojure can easily call Java code and thus have access to the huge and mature Java lib ecosystem, also Common Lisp can very easily (see 'CFFI') access the huge and mature C lib ecosystem, mind you, and this feature is leveraged a lot in CL. This also has performance benefits, since tuned Lisp code is as fast as tuned Java code, but C can often go faster. With ABCL (JVM implementation of Common Lisp), you can even call Java libs and C libs in the very same source code, which I find amazing.
I feel like this actually explains a surprising amount of things that look silly at face value.

Another example I've talked a lot with my colleagues is company wide coding style definitions. They usually have stuff like "never ever use goto", but then you have Linux kernel code using goto, and it seems all weird. But here too the coding convention that feels "stupid" to the rockstar coder is in place to make the code of the summer intern even remotely usable after they are gone.
You‘re absolutely right that the risk is objectively low. Do officers /perceive/ it as low?

I‘d argue that they would if asked whether they should fear heart attacks more or less than guns on the street, but if you don‘t frame it that way they will probably tell you that of course guns are a real danger.

> Associative data structures (maps / dicts) are super first-class in Clojure

“First-class”, you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. See here for the details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-class_citizen . tl;dr: First-class-ness is about semantics, not syntax. And, while every language (including Racket) is broken in some ways, it's not broken enough for associative data structures to be inexpressible in it.

> There's a literal syntax for them.

Why does this matter in a language with macros anyway?

Competing justifications of basic income (1992) [pdf]
I don't particularly think the methodology merchants are in the business of improving software development. Their bottom line is affected by selling trainings, consultancy and certificates, thus the single metric of a methodology working is whether and how fast it can grow its user base, keep them happy and coming back for more. It might loosely correlate with improving software quality, but that is entirely secondary.
We get new games for old computers often, and in my particular case I'm a huge fan of the Oric-1/Atmos sytems from the 80's. These are similar in many ways to the Gameboy architecture, but were far more user-dependent in that there was never any good software for them. (Well, not enough, anyway.)

But the machines live on and many elite developers are quite fond of them, so lately, every few months or so, we get new stuff for the Oric-1/Atmos systems. The latest game that blows everyones minds (because who knew you could do it on Oric), is Blakes7:

http://www.defence-force.org/index.php?page=games&game=blake...

Its quite an achievement as a point 'n click adventure and there is much to the 8-bit aesthetic in this game that would appeal to those who came here for the Gameboy look.

Remember kids, old machines never die - their users do!

The real truth is that both everybody and nobody is in control.

Every participant in the system has a part to play and has a choice, miners choose which chain to mine and in doing so secure that chain from attack and earn a return, people that run nodes pick the nodes to run based on which chain they believe has the most value, or in the case of miners in order to mine the chain they believe has the most value, spv wallet users transact on the chain they value and pay fees to support the upkeep of it, the simple act of conducting trade with a cryptocurrency gives the entire apparatus basic value, so the people that don't give a damn about any given blockchain and just want to use it to move some completely unrelated asset from a to b also still give the system value, and of course the holders and traders of the actual blockchain assets give the system value and play a part in resolving contentious forks, by evaluating what they see as the market value of a given blockchain asset, forked or otherwise, and profiting or losing based on that insight.

Short of outright theft of a private key, nobody may compel even the smallest user of a blockchain to perform an action that they do not freely wish to undertake, not all the devs writing node software, shills pushing political agendas, or even miners mining blocks in the chain can change that fundamental aspect of the system that keeps it actually properly decentralised. The only way around this is to drive the vast majority of transactions off chain and force most end users to operate through third party intermediaries that manage their actual potential transactions in the system.

Like exactly what core are doing with the lightning network, for example.

QR Code solves this problem by simply having the user scan.

I dont think restaurant needs its own App. But there are definitely some advantage to having a App Entrance to your restaurant.

I think this is a problem worth solving.
> Basically, solves the issue of traffic when the traffic is not an issue.

As per the stats they gave at 3:40 in video [0], in Ipswich it fell from 23 accidents in 3 years to 1 per year. So it is almost entirely solving the issue of accidents, which is the primary driver for installing them.

Once you get down to 1 per year you can start to investigate individual accidents more thoroughly and put in specific smaller scale fixes.

That's a bit misleading. There's several tools you have available and you should pick the best tool for the job. Also, SPAs are only harder if you haven't already learned them. For anything too complex to not simply use WordPress, it's often preferable to use an SPA for the superior UI/UX experience (both for the developers and the user). Plenty of exceptions are welcome though, for example if the site's functionality is based around a key jQuery plugin.

Those who understand Climate Change and love science should not cede the ground to those who disagree with them without a fight.

Most people don't understand science at the same level as many of the participants in HN. They are not bad people, and they are not necessarily ignorant people. But they don't base their decision-making process on scientific principles. Someone needs to reach out to these people and help them understand the world we live in.

Ten minutes on Fox News and similar sites should convince anyone that Climate Change deniers understand how to influence people and do all they can to advocate for those who profit from policies that harm our world. We have to use the available tools to counter their arguments.
Because a large portion of people in the world are not swayed by logical arguments. So, if you want to be an effective communicator, you need to talk to them in a way that works.

'In a letter to IEEE Computer, Steven Rakitin expressed cynicism about agile software development, calling it "yet another attempt to undermine the discipline of software engineering" and translating "Working software over comprehensive documentation" as "We want to spend all our time coding. Remember, real programmers don't write documentation."'

It's a communication network.

To me, time spent making a better email distribution might be better spent developing a social media presence. Making it easier to blast emails makes your life easier, it does not necessarily broaden communication or reach more members. Some people are sending your emails to spam but might feel guilty about hitting the unsubscribe.

Social media gives people an ability to connect with your organization rather than just receive notifications. It lets an organization meet people where they are...nobody wants to be "on email".
I don't know that sounds very cool, but it really just seems like a waste of power. I can't think of the last time I would want that.
Lets not stray away from the main topic. Eg. Duterte is Hitler, etc. Those deserve their own thread. Its basically this:

The founder of Rappler, was a former head of ABS-CBN news, a TV station aligned with the liberal party, the party who lost to Duterte.

Rappler, as an online media outlet, and itself a propaganda machine, is threatened by Facebook. That is why we have this article.

Basically, in HN speak, Facebook is disrupting the propaganda machine market and Rappler is scared to go out of business.

True. Also, there is a fourth variable where you can cut corners (even if it's almost never a good idea): quality.

Great teams can produce much more than mediocre ones, but they too have a limit. When deadline is set too close, one of these 4 things has to give, and it is good to know in advance which one that is, so team can set the priorities accordingly.
