I've been applying to Apple recently and I've submitted well over 20 applications and still no replies. Clearly, they don't think I'm a good fit for whatever they are looking for in a software engineer.

I was taking a shower this morning when I realized... Apple doesn't care about software. I realized almost all the software I use on my iPhone or Mac is third party (excluding macOS and iOS). I realized Apple Music is quite possibly the worst piece of music software ever created by man. I realized iOS 11 is buggy as hell. I realized Siri is the worst "assistant" in the market. Apple clearly makes amazing hardware, but they fall behind when it comes to software. Their hardware design is the best in the game, but their software UI/UX is horrible. I know a lot of good designers who work at Apple and I know for a fact that they do amazing work on their own, yet they are unable to show this in the final Apple product. This must imply these designers' talents are wasted at Apple and they are not given a platform to shine.

So I'm going stop applying to Apple because clearly we both don't see a good fit for one another.
> Clojure both Keeps and Breaks Tradition ... When Rich Hickey invented Clojure, he kept the gems of the LISP tradition, but jettison much of the muck. This is why Clojure has first instead of car and rest instead of cdr

Rich Hickey did not invent 'first' and 'rest'. LISP has those since the end of the 70s in language standards.

From Common Lisp the Language, published 1984, chapter on lists:

[Function]
first list
second list
third list
fourth list
fifth list
sixth list
seventh list
eighth list
ninth list
tenth list

These functions are sometimes convenient for
accessing particular elements of a list. first
is the same as car, second is the same as cadr,
third is the same as caddr, and so on.
Note that the ordinal numbering used here is
one-origin, as opposed to the zero-origin
numbering used by nth:

(fifth x) == (nth 4 x)

setf may be used with each of these functions
to store into the indicated position of a list.

[Function]
rest list

rest means the same as cdr but mnemonically
complements first. setf may be used with rest
to replace the cdr of a list with a new value.

Lisp Machine Lisp had FIRST, SECOND, ... REST1, ..., REST4 at least in 1979. They are documented in the 2nd edition Lisp Machine manual.

Thanks for letting me know. I tried to backtrace where I got that (core devs involvement) from, but it turns out the New York Agreement did indeed not include core devs: https://medium.com/@DCGco/bitcoin-scaling-agreement-at-conse...

I'm pretty sure I read about it like it was a consensus, but I can't find it again. Or maybe I just didn't understand it at the time.

So if trust is broken, it's only between members of that group, and it does not involve devs. Sorry, I can't edit my initial comment anymore (plus, replies would not make sense anymore if I edited it).

> No one should feel bad for owning a machine that's a few years old but does everything they need. I'm not convinced that consumer gadgets fill a real need any more rather than just being new and shiny for the sake of being new and shiny.

I disagree that consumer gadgets, especially phones, don't fill a real need anymore. We have at least a good four or five years, minimum, for a lot more to be done in that form factor. It may not necessarily be new sensors, but significant improvement in what's available now. Things like AR and VR have quite a while to mature and bring about more practical use cases than we see now, and smartphones and devices associated with them will be the ones leading the charge there.

It's a shame the Wi-Fi Alliance is showing no interest in long-range mesh capabilities for its Wi-Fi standards.

The mesh-like standards it does have currently are mainly focused on home automation, and they only cared about developing those because Bluetooth was becoming the de-factor standard for IoT, and now 6LoWPAN seems to be taking over.

802.11ax promised 5x the range of 802.11n in theory, but implementers will go up to 2x, at most, likely preferring to focus on increased performance/bandwidth instead.

I think it would be really cool if we could have a Wi-Fi standard that would go through buildings over 1 mile even at 1Mbps speeds. And I think we now have the technology and know-how for how to deal with interference from similar Wi-Fi emitters.

It would be nice if something like this was made by the Wi-Fi Alliance because then we could all have that capability in our phones within 5 years after release. Think how much that would help in cases of disaster: earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, wars, and so on.

The LISP people should have changed those names way back when. Not 79, 59. McCarthy himself said then that this representation is independent of the IBM 704 computer, or of any other electronic computer [1]. So why stick with the names of 704 registers? Was there a purpose to this?

Same reasons that IE versions only support certain versions of Windows:

- they want to be able to switch to newer APIs when the underlying OS adds them (though in Edge's case it's more likely it was written from the ground up using newer APIs)

- they quite possibly want to use "you can get the new browser only if you upgrade" as a carrot for OS upgrades (they explicitly did with IE, I haven't seen anything explicit for Edge but it wouldn't surprise me if they're still taking that approach)

Why does anybody buy an $800 graphics card when it will be obsolete in under two years?

Because they plan on dealing with it being outpaced by newer hardware but not by enough to care about upgrading for a generation or two in most cases.

This is why I’m still rocking my iPhone 7+, I don’t know if I’ll upgrade to the 9 when it comes out at this point because the phone still runs great - just like I plan on skipping Volta since I just bought a 1080 Ti and there’s not a game in the world that taxes it enough yet at 1440P.

It makes no sense.

One insures for what one cannot covers himself or herself. Regular risk (maintenance) one simply absorbs. That's why the mandatory health insurance especially as defined by ACA is a total garbage - it forces insurance companies to cover regular risk.

I only want to carry catastrophic insurance. If I could, I would have had a policy that kicked in at $50,000 and covered to some absurd amount.

NPS is great when used and managed correctly. Unfortunately most companies send out an NPS survey and ONLY look @ the score. The score is a lagging indicator of the company taking time to actually read the comments gathered from the NPS survey and act on them to improve the customer experience.

I don't think Apple actually reduced guidance, I think the article in question predicted that they would reduce guidance.

What we know for sure is that the phone was sold out as soon as it opened for pre-orders and that Apple on their last earnings call reported huge demand for the X. I'm not at all saying that the following is what happened, but it's important to not take any one news report as fact, especially one based on "sources" or "rumors". Stock manipulation and poorly-researched reporting are very real things and again, not saying that's what's going on here, but I would want to see Apple come out and report low demand before forming any lasting conclusion. If that happens, I'll definitely have a different opinion.

In the face of lots of evidence to the contrary, lines like this make me skeptical of the validity:

Apple is said to have trimmed its first-quarter sales forecast to 30 million units from 50 million, Taiwanese newspaper Economic Daily News reported, citing unidentified supply chain officials.
Square has an offline mode that does this. Cards are queued up and authed when the device goes back online.

> I know that this does not prove everything but it's one way to measure institutional racism which is kinda hard to measure in an objective way.

It's a lot harder to collect data when you expunge all references to race from the law, and also prohibit public institutions from collecting data on race and ethnicity, as five European countries have already done. Heck, you'll be hard-pressed to find reliable statistics for how many black people even live in (e.g.) France. That doesn't mean racism doesn't exist there; it just means it's impossible to separate out the effects of racism in analyses. The racism has become fully integrated.

This is exactly what institutionalization of racism looks like - racism becoming part and parcel of the society, so tightly integrated that it's actually hard to disentangle the racism from the rest of society.
Yes I remember using one to print the results from an experiment at my first job we had a rig that used a high speed cini camera to record the movement of an "object" when subjected to high flow regimes underwater.

I'm opposed to polygamy for the obvious humanitarian concerns, and other issues raised in the article. But at the same time, I'm curious about the long-term genetic impact of monogamy vs polygamy.

IQ and many personality traits have been shown to be correlated significantly with genes (many of these studies are based on adopted children, for whom genes and upbringing are decoupled). In monogamous societies like in America, someone who's highly smart and industrious, will likely end up with the same number of children as someone on the opposite end of the spectrum. In polygamous societies, someone who's smart and industrious can easily end up with 2-10x the number of children as the average man. In terms of natural selection, this clearly puts significantly more selective pressure on intelligence and personality-traits.

Over a few decades, I doubt this will amount to much. But over a couple centuries/millenia, I wonder if polygamous societies would wind up as a race of smart-hard-working-competitive-assholes, in comparison to us monogamous dolts.
From the recording it looked like a rip from a video tape straight out of the 80s. To be honest I found it in the early 2000s on a now defunct torrent tracker when already all sales pages had gone and only some scam reports still existed. Had a super fluffy title something like 'write a book in 21 days guaranteed' but I gave it a chance because I was curious. It was actually just like OP described, only applied for non-fiction books. The author was really all about hacking an expert-looking book in the shortest time possible - without calling it hacking. The process started by reading the top 10 books in your field, then develop 25 core questions, fill each question with 5 sub questions, use a timer of 5 minutes to write against the clock the answer to that question. The idea was to get into a writing flow and stop reflecting while putting out as much text as possible. He sold the idea by the good old pareto logic, suggesting that by reading the top 10 books you already know more than 80% of the people interested in the topic, making the book good enough to be seen as the expert. In the end he suggested threwing out 10% of the worst paragraphs, then editing it all together and done is the book.
It’s been recommended to death on HN, but Sapiens is a really interesting look at the development of humans. It uses a lot of philosophy to explain things.
These definitions are highly context-dependent, though.

Even more pedantic, but sometimes surprising: SNI reveals the full text of the final lookup query that the requester used to obtain an IP address to open a TCP connection to the server.

Neither the text nor the address are necessarily "correct", and the text might be formally a nodename, a hostname, a domain name, a fully-qualified domain name, or a text representation of an IP address (which, again, is not necessarily correct).

In practice, certificate authorities constrain the possibilities of the lookup text (for a successful connection using the CA-signed cert), but that is not a technical limitation. And of course, a self-signed certificate has no such constraints.

With cooperation between the server owner and users, an SNI-sensitive publisher could make their site available at https://fbi.gov/. But it's probably easier just to use a meaningless domain instead. :)

> So why stick with the names of 704 registers? Was there a purpose to this?

Are there other, much better names for the two parts of a pair? First and second aren't great because they're not clear that it's a pair and not a larger sequence (and the difference is important in Lisp; since lists are built on conses, it would be odd to get the tail of a list by calling 'second'). The only other names I can think of would be something like left and right, but I don't think those would be substantially easier to understand for beginners than car and cdr.

When working with lists, many people prefer to use the functions first and rest, which behave identically to car and cdr but are more meaningfully named for list applications. They would be terrible names for the general cons-handling functions, though.
My favorite pair of silly LISP function names derived from CAR and CDR is RPLACA and RPLACD.

Then of course there's the whole family of derived function names CAAR, CADR, CDAR, CADADR, CADDDDR, CAAAAR, etc.

I wonder if that's what inspired Oliver Steele's "The Aargh Page":

http://osteele.com/words/aargh

http://blog.osteele.com/2005/12/aargh/

Even sillier is LOGO's alternative to CAR and CDR: FIRST and BUTFIRST. As in "BUTFIRST recursion" (giggle).
