> So that every edit performed would result in valid syntax after they are performed. Valid syntax, not working code, not code that semantically make sense, just the syntax is valid within the syntax rules.

As I said. Dumb tool for basic syntax manipulation is elevated to godlike status. After which you end up with dumb statements like these:

- editor modes like paredit let you edit in terms of the structure of your code.

- your editor pane is a text editor none the less.

- the editor is textual and not structural.

- structural editors just make sure your code will parse

and other stuff that means exactly one thing: "our language doesn't have any other/proper tools, so we pretend our parens matcher is the best thing since sliced cheese".

It's just a dumb thing that selects words and matches parens. That's it.

> In that regard, it is unfair to judge Lisp's syntax before you've mastered and used it with paredit or similar structural editors.

I worked at a big corporation. It was against the rules to comment on body odor of a coworker because of an incident where the team got together to give someone perfume and soap and such and try to nicely tell her she smelled. Turned out she had a medical condition and it was not a hygiene issue and she was incredibly upset. HR sided with her.

Apple sells not so much a tech product as an aspiration. By buying Apple you are a better person, and better persons care about the environment. It would be against their brand to not care.

One day, it will be very cool and "woke" to pay taxes. You will see then how much noise Apple will be making about "paying their dues" well and beyond the minimal requirements and loop-holes.
>Thing is, we have about half a century of consistent clinical findings saying, without exception, no diet-based approach shows long term weight reduction. The most successful have zero effects by 5-10 years out.

Does "diet" mean counting calories and eating less than you want to eat?

I ask because another approach, as in Susan Robinson's book The I Diet, is to eat as much as you want but just make sure it is foods that are moderately low in calories. In particular, avoid refined carbohydrates, potatoes, and fatty foods.

I have been following this approach for 5 years. I lost 50 pounds, I have no will power when it comes to food, but the pounds have stayed off.
I'm not sure if this article can support a substantive discussion or not, but thought it might be worth the trick of taking a more complex phrase for the title in the hope of stimulating more substantive responses. HN threads are often like those psych tests that measure complexity of response by time delay.

It's a bit weird, but there's some reason to believe that just the small tax it imposes on the brain to parse a complex title may slow it down enough to discourage pure reflex in reaction. Reflective, not reflexive, reactions are what we're going for here.

do note that Microcenter has been selling the base config at $1000 for some time now. Originally people thought to be a one off sale but it keeps coming back. Going out on a limb here to say I doubt Microcenter is doing this without Apple's blessing or assistance on pricing.

> People in Europe tend to be more civil in such matters.

I would be careful to generalize here. It's often not the people that are reluctant to demand retribution, but criminal justice systems that are insulated against populism. For example, there's currently a pretty sickening case of serial gang rape being reported on in Germany and there's plenty of popular outrage [1], including some people wishing for the death penalty and for body parts getting hacked off (and the suspects appear to be ethnic Germans, so it's not anti-migrant hysteria). But in the end, the criminal justice system is unlikely to be affected by that outrage, largely because of Germany's career judiciary (both prosecutors and judges).

[1] The outrage is understandable; the crimes make me feel ill, too. But the desire for retribution is still way outside what the penal code or the constitution would permit.

> staying below 400 feet

As someone that has spent a lot of time flying model sailplanes, I want to point out that there is no regulation which prevents a hobbyist from flying above 400ft AGL, as long as you abide by the guidelines established by the AMA or another "nationwide community-based organization".

The FAA boils everything from section 336 (the "Special Rule for Model Aircraft") as follows:

- Fly for hobby or recreation ONLY

- Register your model aircraft

- Follow community-based safety guidelines and fly within the programming of a nationwide community-based organization
Fly a model aircraft under 55 lbs. unless certified by a community-based organization

- Fly within visual line-of-sight

- Never fly near other aircraft

- Notify the airport and air traffic control tower prior to flying within 5 miles of an airport

- Never fly near emergency response efforts
The control brand is not necessarily a retailer-owned brand. It is a control variable to determine the value delta that consumers ascribe to branded goods in the absence of quality difference.
This is also in the build process when you compile Firefox.
No, that is not how it works. CO2 is only removed from atmosphere if it is sequestered in some solid, like wood — CO2 is not deleted by plants, it’s just transformed to different form. Additionally, plants aren’t really sequestering CO2 from human emissions, unless you bury them underground as you grow them — if you only let it grow without storing it underground, you are only replacing CO2 from deforestation.
A dream would be cpu and build quality like this, nvidia 1080Ti or better (when it comes out) crossed with Surface Studio. At least for graphics work.
This is more or less a list of psychopathic/sociopathic traits.
That's nerve wracking and I feel for the guy. As a kid in 7th grade, helping others install mod chips was definitely a big spark in my then still young tech journey. So what if he makes a couple hundred dollars here and there, how does that equate to spending a year in prison. If nothing else, he's now spent a not insignificant time with felons in his more formative years...
This looks awesome, except that it's still in preview. Seems a bit early to bet on it - any idea when there will be assurances that it will continue to be supported long term?

It is actually a very good point.

Now that I look into it, I think we should also ban all the booster packages for the board games.

These packages can contain or may not contain valuable card and you are effectively gambling when you buy one.

Hmm, custom elements are an interesting loophole. If you define your own set of tags and provide JavaScript implementations for them, I guess it would run in a browser, but is it really the same language anymore, and does it matter?

>But "they're not changing quickly enough" or "they're not selecting candidates in the way I personally would prefer" doesn't translate to "therefore the whole party platform is a lie

They've given no reason to expect things have changed, and their method of selecting candidates runs counter to their platform. The candidate that can raise the most money in a Citizens United world can't work against those interests, unless they only target opposing monopolies. And that's a kleptocracy too.

If you wish there was another viable option, you have to stop supporting what you consider "the lesser of two evils." Opposing other options is one of the areas the parties show true unity.

I again recommend a piece from The Intercept as a reminder that these problems run far deeper than Trump.

Actually MIT not only has a phys ed requirement but you can't graduate without proving you can swim. And it has a pretty active club sports program.

I don't remember folks laughing at one another at MIT since we were mostly misfits in our prior schools anyway.

Here's a telling anecdote: I was at prize day (pretty much only people who actually get prizes go so it's in a small lecture hall), and one student got a major athletic award, apparently having set various NCAA records (presumably we were in some very minor subdivision of NCAA but anyway). He was huge, and he kinda stumbled on the stairs as an athlete will, and when he came up to the stage he merely mumbled inarticulately. I was astonished: a stereotype of the dumb jock! Then last they gave out the scholar-athlete award. No surprise, it was this same guy...but in addition to playing three sports he had a 4.8 average as a double major aero-astro and physics. No wonder he was so quiet: his brain was super busy!

I felt really humbled.
> PS: Completely unrelated issue, just for fun search for "Logan's run" on Youtube, filter by "length > 20 minutes", and check out a few of the many results. ... Doesn't that waste huge amounts of Youtube storage? Why does Google not do anything about it, ML algorithms should have an easy time finding most of those uploads?

It's been prevalent for many years now. The files are typically a single image for the majority of the video, so compression should alleviate the storage issue.

These videos are likely very profitable for YouTube if ad-supported, given that they'll take very little data to store and serve.

I doubt the movie studios significantly care about removing them; the videos significantly frustrate pirates, likely causing a slight conversion to actual sales. To note: these results often appear on the ContentID dashboards (causing frustration for the studios), so this may be subject to change in future.

you could just as easily make the argument against Apple and Google in these instances for not allowing Prime Video on their platforms.

Refusing to sell competitors’ products isn’t a very good case for antitrust when you can still buy them in hundreds of other places a click away.
And yet, now that they've climbed to the top of the heap built on planned obsolescence and chasing after relentless growth quarter after quarter, maybe it's time for them to use their wealth and influence to shape the market more thoroughly. Instead of simply continuing to chase more growth for the sake of the board's approval.
Yes, to transact tokens that run on top of Ethereum you have to pay transaction fees in ETH, which AFAIK means you need to buy at least a small amount of ETH. There are some recent proposals that would allow fees to be paid in other tokens, so I guess if those go through then you could use tokens without ever touching ETH.
They made them watch the news!
It's tolerated because the harm is small and the cost of retaliation is high enough that the target countries aren't willing to go very far to punish it. The spying carried out between allies is often about military information that the target country already has.

See, for example, the Jonathan Pollard case, where Israel stole US intelligence on Iran. The spy was imprisoned for almost 30 years (considered a bit extreme by the Israeli system, though that may reflect different norms about incarceration in general). Similarly, an American spy (Yosef Amit) sent information about Israeli troop deployments to the US, and was in prison for 7 years. Both sides worked hard to get their respective spies released, and were stubborn about not releasing the ones they had in custody, but because the countries were allied no one was willing to go to the mat over the issue.
The majority of the water a plant absorbs is lost to the air as transpiration. Different plants lose different percentages of water this way, so high water use doesn't necessarily mean more CO2 absorption.

A chess master can intuitively tell when mate is three moves away. They weren’t born with that intuition, though. They gained it over time.
There's a lot of benefit to being able to state what keys may be specified in a certain location, though. Look at DSLs like Cloudformation, for instance. Having schema validation could make static analysis of this kind of code much easier to handle. E.g.: Fn::Sub may be used inside of Fn::Join, but the reverse is not true, regardless of the types "returned" by each. It's certainly possible to validate via the api, but being able to do it in my editor will make finding errors much faster.

To your other point, however, dynamic code generation is becoming much more common. AWS generates a huge amount of its code from JSON definitions across multiple languages to keep its SDKs up to date. I could see schema validation being valuable in this domain as well.
I never claimed Amazon has a monopoly. I just hear what the GP posted a lot, but when reading the actual law it seems to be incorrect. So I'm trying to figure out why what the GP stated seems to have become the case: because lawmakers passed something else? Or courts didn't like it? Or what?

Or, you know, don’t kill them.

Not sure why this idea is still considered extreme. Why harm fellow creatures when it is simply unnecessary?

The fact that they have sold so many phones may simply indicate that the other perceived benefits outweigh the poor notch decision. Plus, lots of mass market products are terribly designed. They sold over 3 million Ford Pintos.
How does it compare to Nextcloud or Rsync?
> [go is] everything C can do, but much better

I have to disagree with this one. I tried go briefly, and what I found was that it provided a couple of relatively nice high-level features (multiple return, nested functions, interface{} (although that doesn't count it's basically void*)), but that ultimatley it tried to constrict what I could do in a way that c didn't. Add to that that c somehow has much better metaprogramming than go even though literally every language ever made has better metaprogramming than c.
The "legal in the EU" part distracts from the true injustice of this kind of activity being criminalized.

Countries have different laws. You can be convicted in most EU states of saying things which are protected speech in the US. Or for getting an abortion.

But this law is an example of the primacy of corporate activity over human rights.

> In theory any of these countries could surely just issue an arrest warrant for the head of GCHQ and order their extradition.

The rules are different for states. Arresting a foreign security official for the actions they carried out in their official capacity is an inherently political/diplomatic decision, and not a normal criminal one.

There are some carve-outs for war crimes, but there's a reason those were so difficult to push through even for countries that haven't committed war crimes lately and aren't even liable to get into any wars any time soon - the whole concept goes against a lot of the assumptions of state sovereignty.
A Pride of Pekingese
Why not leave that choice up to the developer? If the new phone is so awesome then other developers will make awesome apps for it and if you don't support it your app will not succeed. Apple is threatening the revenue of companies and forcing them into spending their resources to support a product which they had zero say in. Anyway, why is dictate a loaded word here? Can an app maker say 'no'?
HTML is an application of SGML / ISO8879. It defines its own domain and that's the scope of it. It's a leaf.

XML is a subset of SGML and can have further subsets and implementing applications I.e. it is a branch. As noted above, XHTML was a leaf on this branch.

So they are related but not equivalent.

Who said something about “out of respect”? that makes no sense.

I try to kill anything I’m going to it with dignity and respect. Not out of respect.

And the least I can do to that end is to not kill anything I’m not going to eat, and if I kill anything I make it as quick and painless as possible.

This has to do with the fact that we in Switzerland once voted (in the early 90s) to constitutionally recognize animals, and giving them dignity. The dignity of the creature it was called. This is the reason also why you are not allowed to own just one single guinea pig or a lovebird.

I agree with your point - as mentioned in my first line, I state that such a comprehensive model would be very helpful for academic purposes.

I don't believe that it would change popular opinion - indeed, flat-earthers and other 'anti-intellectual' fads continue despite not being accepted by serious researchers.
So regulate AWS because it’s not building enough open source software? How do you determine what the proper amount of open source for AWS to contribute to? Why should they be required to contribute to open source? Does their existence prohibit others from doing so?

as the original coverage pointed out, one of the drawbacks of lidar imaging alone is that you generally don’t get any temporal resolution.

you get “every structure that ever existed here”, basically. you still need generations of grad students and pickaxes to figure out which buildings coexisted in time and use.

the real win is that now you know where to dig, and that’s a huge deal all by itself.

So you want Amazon to provide incredible products and selection at the lowest reasonable prices, fast delivery, with the absolute best customer service.

But you don't want them to become giant and or dominant in the process of providing such an extraordinary service.

No no no, we should have two of them instead. Why? Because! Dominance! What would two of them do better than one is already doing in terms of providing service? No answer. Maybe the twins would lower prices further in a competitive death spiral and both could go bankrupt thanks to their currently barely existent profit margin.

How could anyone fail to miss the absurdity inherent in the premise? We want you to be incredible for the consumer, but not too incredible such that everyone uses you and you get big and dominant by doing it.

So Amazon should provide ok but not great products, ok but not great delivery, ok but not great customer service (or some combination of good and mediocrity). Maybe they should regularly mistreat customers like Comcast and charge far higher prices or provide really shit customer service. Really overall just bring their business game down to a lower level, so other mediocre companies can keep up with them. That'll show the consumer.
