You'd be surprised to see the excellent code written by people who don't know basic data structure theory. Arrays/Objects in JavaScript, Hashes and Arrays in Ruby, Dicts and Lists in Python go all the way to fill the needs of that. At what point would you need the implementation details of any of these to write code?
I think this is mainly an enforcement and punishment issue. I don't know the situation in other countries, but here in Germany you are only allowed to honk if there's a danger. Enforcing this rule with a hard penalty (500+ Euros or something like that) would do wonders to cure people of their "I will honk in every damn situation" mentality.
Hello. I'm afraid the main focus is to join all Brazilian or Portuguese-speaking lispers in one place, but we're not really supporting English-speaking ones, though you're very welcome to join (if you try keeping stuff in Portuguese on our chat).
But in any case, since most CL learning links are in English, you can also contribute by sending us material that you find relevant for the language on GitHub.
It is entirely my genome.

Over 99.9% of the genome is identical to every human being. And that genome is made public (the reference genome) and updated regularly as we understand more about the DNA.

Even identical twins don't have the same DNA. So it's not like I make public another person's DNA.
I was going to answer, but the other comments already did :)
Though most of it right now is just learning material for people new to Common Lisp, the project is actually for lispers of any level.

The first gen iPad still works with Netflix, Hulu, Plex, Spotify, Crackle, Google Drive, and all of Apple's iWork apps. Of course these are all older versions. It supports AirPrint and AirPlay.

Internalize the externality.

Tie horn honking to a credit card in the car. $1 per second honked. A quick road runner meep-meep cost 20¢. Holding down your horn like a dipshit for 30sec is a bit expensive.

Use those dollars to bolster city taxes.
In the UK the law is similar but not enforced, I don't think the penalty is that great either?

Comparing it to talking/texting on a mobile phone while driving, where the penalties are moderate and there is some enforcement, attitudes are changing - very slowly though.
Maybe poor people just understand that when they try to describe their plight and seek assistance, they’ll be told that “sorry your microeconomic reality is too far divorced from the macroeconomic reality for us to care.”
In the city it helps make pedestrians, and to a certain degree cars, more aware of you, especially if filtering / lane splitting.

And some people just want attention.
Most of the questionnaire is (in my humble opinion) absolutely bad, as it focuses on stuff that you either know on the top of your head or you don't.

I'm sorry, but I'd rather hire someone that can't describe all the nitty gritties of `float`, but that can think properly.

Questions that can be looked up on Stack Overflow in 2 minutes are absolutely useless in hiring someone. They just favor people that have better memory.
He’s exaggerating. You can download a cli tool that lets you create a react or vue web app with Babel, webpack, hot code loading, etc in one command. It just works. I know because I just did it and built a large app from it . I think I added 3 lines to my webpack config to proxy api calls to me real web server. It’s magical to code on the fly and I think people have a short memory or aren’t old enough to remember hand coding make files and waiting 20 minutes for your app to compile and link.

Frameworks like vue.js are elegant as all hell and js has the lowest getting shit done to ceremony ratio of any language I’ve ever used.

Sure there’s a few gotchas. Try using c++. Now there’s a minefield.
Getting Things Done.

The engineers usually aren't so bad, because they have what's essentially a GTD system for 98% of their work in the form of an issue tracker (though I've also known one or two who could benefit from a system to help them track the complexity and non-code aspects of larger projects).

But the managers and the people I interface with in other departments are incapable of keeping track of what projects they have going on, what the next step are to keep those projects moving, and who's responsible for what.
Adults of my local area never vaccinate from flu. Asian flu breakthrough killed few people last decade, but it had no treatment anyway. Seems that that “risk” statement contradicts with reality at least in one region. Not saying it is wrong in general, but something to think of.
(I made colormind.io) Color theory isn't an exact science, you could make random palettes from various color rules but they don't look good (imo).

as an experiment, try this:

go on https://color.adobe.com and click on one of the color rules (it will give you a random palette based on the rule)

now compare with a palette from https://coolors.co/ or https://color.adobe.com/explore/ (user-uploaded)

if color theory + regression fully solved this problem, none of these color sites would need to exist.
Apple Maps backed by Google on iOS 3 - the last iOS version that works on the original iPhone/iPod Touch from 2007 still works.
Not forgetting the rapidly escalating permutations. They say Telegram, work wants Wire, someone else Whatsapp, someone else says Messenger and on and on.

Either install 27 apps or decide enough is enough. I've had just about enough until one can aggregate like Adium used to.
This site has it's own agenda as well which is easy to spot in the article if you look.
Well, I guess you are right. It doesn't help to have a bunch of egos in science or in your company. So what do you do? You place an even bigger ego at the top. Makes sense, but still, it doesn't make for nice/interesting reading.
Those examples don't make any sense. All of them are possible within sandbox except perhaps the disk usage analyser.
Wow, I think I was in the middle of finding PHP really hard when I was 16... :)

I'm falling over a bit at how the high-bit-finding system actually works (in http://blitzter.atspace.com/documents/game/index.html), along with the rest of the page to be honest. I'd say this is 90% my brain not being great at this sort of thing, and 10% me not knowing chess (shh). I'm very impressed though.

It's great that you're able to keep AI on the radar in a reasonable capacity, even if it's not front and center at the moment. Hopefully the pivot you mention does happen one day, and works out really well. :)

> robots are okay with being slaves and they don't need wages.

Quite the opposite. Humans are willing to work without a wage, proven time and time again with unpaid internships and the like. If you cut off payment to a robot (currencies differ for different robots, but electricity is a common preference), they always go on strike immediately. Cut off their company-provided shelter for any meaningful length of time and they will probably never work for you again. Humans are far more forgiving.
We live in an increasingly connected world, and one in which people may struggle to find income only in their local region. If you’re only socialized in a way which allows you to interact with your neighbors, I would call that poorly socialized.
This should be seriously spiking your cynicism levels about the rest of the article.
I loved experimenting with babies. Thank you!
Purely from a business perspective isn't it smarter to use other people's money for such risky projects? Musk certainly didn't become a billionaire by gambling!
Perhaps it is part of the point, but the stigmatized narrative is no more correct according to the 4Q model than the sanctioned one. That is it appears to map 'troglodytes' as morally virtuous. That is surely the correct narrative moves up and down the y-axis, and why can't that exist?

I struggle to put it into words, but for me the model has a koanic quality and is somewhat less of a clear insight than I initially thought it would be.
Indeed. But it doesn't mix moral judgement with policies.

I thought in Switzerland any such noise is punished with the death penalty!

Jokes aside, I live in a Southern European country in which many people think it's normal to use the horn in every junction “in order to raise awareness in advance ” since they drive well over the allowed speed limit. Very interesting concept especially since they horn to other cars with raised windows and music on which pretty much renders their action mutt but stupidity is without limits...
As kids growing up in a village, my friends and I played with button whirligigs and we made them out of broken pieces of clay pots discarded by our parents: Take a piece, rub its boundary on a hard irregular surface until it is smooth and discoid, make a hole in the center (take care not to break the object), pass a thread through this hole and keep the thing at the midpoint of the thread. Hold the two ends of the thread with your hands, spin it for a while and stop, and then immediately start whirling the thing by alternately pulling and releasing the tension on the thread.

Here’s a wiki with some nice drawings:

We also made ropes with jute, spinning tops of wood with an iron tip etc. We could not afford to buy things such as these. It was fun :)
I can assure you that building things will teach you more than reading off a massive list of facts.
I'm doing backend development but interact with frontend developers all the time. Something I've noticed, especially among younger devs, is that they are sometimes unknowledgeable about how HTTP, DNS, certificates, and related tech work, and have a hard time grasping why state persistence and synchronization need to be done a certain way. The problems arise when something goes wrong and they immediately need support from backend, when a little more knowledge about the technologies below React or Angular would suffice.
Calling people in the top right a Dupe seems risky. It suggests they're easily tricked into supporting the media agenda - which is probably how the media views them. The risk in naming them so is that one could respond "so you're saying they're too feeble-minded to think for themselves" and thus place the whole four-quadrant model into the "evil" bin. We must be careful about this and make them feel like victims, like they've been played, because they have.

To your second question, it does not apply to question like "should we put dangerous criminals in jail?" It applies to statements like "we should put dangerous criminals in jail". The purpose is to promote an agenda, not to have a reasoned debate.
Wikipedia has a useful comparison of issue-tracking systems, mostly IT focused though:

This is like saying we should have our child experience gambling, alcohol, cigarettes, and other addictive activities to teach risk management because they're going to be exposed to it when they leave home, which is silly. Kids aren't born mature. Self-discipline and risk management are skills that need to be built up over time before we expose our kids to the most addictive aspects of life IMO.
JS and Python can't decide what's best for your problem: an array or a linked list. It's the programmer who decides these things. I'm currently working on a project started by people who apparently were completely unaware (among other intellectual obscenities) that it's not OK to return a long list of integers by concatenating them into a long string only to split and parse them again later when some subset of this list was needed. Recently, due to increased traffic, the web service kept crashing.. with 64GB of RAM. Some of these people are probably on this forum, trying to justify why "you can be productive" without knowing wtf you are actually doing.

> Chat apps are the posterchild of what happens when open standards (irc, jabber, xmpp,...) get replaced with walled gardens.

To me it feels like the open standards never really kept up with the times, which in a way paved the way to walled gardens by the giants (and, in case of Slack, not so giants) to fill the gap which the open standards refused to fill.

I mean, sure IRC is awesome, text-only, channels, but emojis are limited to ASCII, inline GIFs are non-existent, and file-sharing (and/or storage) is rather clunky from what I remember from the old times.

And then we have XMPP which doesn't support things like video or voice calling (or at least it didn't last time I checked) and it's not very surprising that companies just capitalize on that and make their own platforms.

Don't take me wrong though... it creeps me out how the company where I work trusts Slack with reams and reams of confidential documents, but I guess it's convenient to an extent which no other platform is.
It wasn't a built in Google Maps app. It was written by Apple backed by Google's API. Just like today Apple Maps driving directions are still backed by third parties.
You use the language native array implementation until your queue gets so huge that it's actually a problem to add or remove items. Everything else is just premature optimisation. Modern web programming has the luxury of fast iteration cycles so any problem that appear at scale are easily and swiftly fixed.

I'm really curious if you could point to a real world example where a custom data structure is needed, where it's not written for performance critical reasons?
Almonds are #1!
An important related idea is Russell Conjugation [1]. It would be good to have tools that analyze and rate bias in text based upon the use of emotionally loaded phrasing around positions.

The model suggests, if I read it correctly, that media would portray Contrarians (who dislike crime but don’t think jail is the solution) as Troglodytes (who oppose jail because they favor crime.)

The “Dupe” label would then apply to those who accept the jail policy because they dislike crime. Perhaps the model tries to disparage people who make this leap, without themselves considering if the policy is a good way to combat crime.

I guess I see your point; there might be people who dislike crime and have done their homework on the policy, and the model unfairly labels them as dupes.

Perhaps the scope of the model is implicitly limited to reason about those who blindly accept the media’s points. The article seems to focus elsewhere: on the case where media pushes the top left quadrant toward the diagonal.

Equipped with Hanlon’s razor, one may alternatively posit a dimensionality reduction which, albeit lossy, improves the performance of media.

Your phone connects to WhatsApp's servers. So does your laptop. The bridging is likely done server-side. I assume this is done because WhatsApp is (probably) using end-to-end encryption, so everything must be ran by your phone (which is the only place where your private key is stored) in order to encrypt the messages.
In NYC I wear earphones on my way to work and a big chunk of the time I'm not even listening to anything, just blocking out the noise. (subways, buses, cars, fire trucks, ambulances, ... everything here is loud)

I think a certain segment of the population actually enjoys the hustle, bustle and noise... and I suppose they all move to NYC.

It also isn’t really compression that’s being used but brick wall limiting. While many compressors can do a form of this, there are still the usual suspects that started the loudness wars-like waves L2 ultramaximizer. For the most part the egregious over limiting has fallen out of fashion but things way more compressed than they used to be. Light soft knee compression can make things sound a bit punchier since they don’t affect the initial attack transient but boost volume of the remander of the sound.
If you don't think SV tech (which HN generally represents) has a moralizing utopian political bent, you haven't been paying attention. It's a massive problem.

This article has somewhat of an air of the callowness of youth, or perfect health, about it.

When you're young, your body works perfectly pretty much. The first time you develop an issue with your senses for example, it is quite shocking; going from a state of perfection to imperfection, you focus on that one flaw.

As I age and more stuff is not working optimally, I have just stopped giving a shit about these sort of issues, adopting a 'even the mona lisa's fallin apart' attitude. I dont focus on the flaws, I focus on what I can still do. Even if I'm only physically operating at 80% of my former capacity, say, I'm still capable of accomplishing what I want to if I apply myself.

Yes, I think you need to bound off specific subsets of policy initiatives and "the media" for this model to make sense. It seems to me that Fox News and MSNBC do this symmetrically to each other over the same policies - Fox: Liberals promote affirmative action because they hate white people, MSNBC: Conservatives oppose affirmative action because they hate black people.

Informed people should be absolutely allergic to the suggestion that someone promoting or opposing a given policy does do because they have malicious intent (and frankly, be suspicious of suggestions that someone are doing it because they have particularly pure intent).
It’s to have a present symbol to remind us of our past. It’s reflective of emotional attachment to who we are through where we were.

Nice attempt to apply the media tactics to the model itself.
This same logic can literally be applied to anyone working on anything. Engineers, carpenters, pilots, literally anyone.

I bet there are many people who know everything about "XMLHttpRequest", but know nothing about congestion control. Or how a network stack comes together...

You do realize "XMLHttpRequest" wasn't even a thing until several years ago, and it's safe to assume further down the road it may well be phased out (in favor of better/more secure APIs).

Instead of asking about "XMLHttpRequest", wouldn't it be better to talk about the general need for "websites" to communicate with a backend on demand, at runtime, after everything has been loaded and rendered? Or, put "XMLHttpRequest" on the table, and talk about how one would implement such an API within the context of a browser?

My last sentence? It's another example of the mistake I described.
Buy high quality (studio) speakers or headphones and turn down the volume. Throw away in-ear headphones and apple earbuds. Your ears will thank you. The listening pleasure will be the same if not higher.

My ears have become so sensitive that when I go out on the streets and a car passes by, I feel like an airplane is taking off right by my ear.
I had the flu a few times as a kid. I didn’t ever think it was that bad. I had the flu 2 years ago and I wasn’t right for a month. As you get older you immune system weakens and 3-5 days of 102-103 fever is enough to make you think you’re dying.
Actually the concept is interesting. You could even make like: 30seconds free per day, or something like that.

I've found that the majority of honks are not for urgent situations
Anchor Modeling
Do you have to honk to prevent a crash so often that the 2$ would add up to anything? It's negligible compared to the cost of the car. You're still incentivized to honk as the cost of a crash is much higher than the cost of honking
While correct, your comment is IMHO misplaced here.
Many things got mixed up here, let me try to untangle some of them:

There are many different types of hearing loss and hearing impairments. Damaged Hair-cells (actually it's the stereocilia) are only one type that happens mostly to people who are exposed to high sound pressure over a long time (or very high sound pressure over short time).
Constant noise of a city is not nearly loud enough to do that physiologically.

But listening with inear headphones can and will damage your hair cells if you listen too loud regularly.

Regarding hearing tests: Forget online hearing tests - they're total bullshit. Even many of the tests done by professionals result in useless data because it's you who needs to tell them whether or not you hear a specific frequency. And the result only compares your abilities to a standard for your age (see below about individuality). Therefor the results are highly dependent on you're psyche, health, mood,...

Another mixup is sound pressure (physical volume) vs subjective loudness. High sound pressure can damage your hair cells, high loudness cannot if sound pressure is reasonably low.
While the thing with loudness wars is bothersome sometimes, it's not dangerous.

Oh I forgot about frequency related hearing loss:
Many people think that you can hear 20-20000Hz, but this is only a rough estimation and more importantly highly individual and age related. So it's totally possible that your same-age friend does or does not hear frequencies you do. Most people don't get past 16-17k at all.
Secondly, the highest frequencies you're able to perceive get lower and lower as you get older.
Many old people can't perceive frequencies higher than 8-10kHz. While they hear worse then others the critical frequency areas for speech (formants) lie way below that. Even music perception works quite fine (although it won't be that crisp anymore).

Tinnitus is another story which can have so many causes (destroyed haircells being only one), stress, tendons in the neck and some others.

So don't pull up the volume unnecessarily on your earphones and you'll be fine.

Edit: Fixed typos.
This is incredibly depressing.
