what might also add to the difference is the focus on a healthy lifestyle and assistance on maintaining it for the less fortunate in society.

For instance, giving someone who is poor benefits so they can afford healthy food (or even better, taxing unhealthy foods and using that money to subsidize healthy food) will actually reduce healthcare costs down the line. A healthy lifestyle goes a long way in regards to sick preventions.

I wonder if physical activity also has to do with this? the U.S is a very car oriented nations, which means people walk less?
I remember being in the fifth grade and finding my dad’s copy of “A Brief History of Time” and thinking to myself “wow that’s an interesting title..” I read it all (barely understanding any of it really cause I was 10) to my hearts content.

We are getting to the stage now where a lot of languages are catching up with the features that lisp had in the 70's, so the huge benefits of lisp aren't quite as obvious as they used to be.

Maintaining a distinction between "actual software development" and "plumbing" is elitist, even if you're placing yourself on the downside of that comparison and setting yourself up for imposter syndrome.

You can get an awful lot done by "plumbing". Entire businesses like SAP are built on it. It can also be mission critical; in SpaceX, is the literal plumbing of hydraulic fluid and fuel flow unimportant? No.

It's not really backwards though.

There is nothing to stop a non-profit hospital from being as efficient as a for-profit one.

In that situation the non-profit will always be less expensive as the for-profit one unless the investors are willing to take a 0% return on their equity.

> "actual software development" and "plumbing" is elitist,

Perhaps, but you are the person who prepended 'mere' in front of plumbing.
Your confusion will go away once you recognize that Scheme is not Lisp. For most purposes, Lisp means Common Lisp, or one of the Lisps that ended up merging into Common Lisp. That means that Lisp does all of these things and more, which you might not expect if you've only seen Scheme/SICP:

* Multi-paradigm programming (functional programming in the immutable sense is not dominant, the Lisp OOP system is top class, mutable state can be everywhere)

* Rich looping mechanisms that don't require tail call contortions

* Explicit typing that leads to optimized code and compile time warnings! (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13389287)

* Warnings at compile time (not run time!) about things like undefined functions/vars/wrong args/unused vars (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14780381)

* A pretty good set of libraries et al that (once you set up quicklisp) are just a function call away from trying out (https://notabug.org/CodyReichert/awesome-cl)

* (edit: one more since I like it a lot) Out of the box the Lisp system contains features you have to get from IDEs in other languages like breakpoints, tracing, inspection, code location questions like "who calls foo"... of course working with that system via emacs or something is nicer but it's basically all there in the base system (http://malisper.me/debugging-lisp-part-1-recompilation/)

Thanks for the reply.

What I meant, is that one cannot start a discussion of such things without being willing to lose lots of points and karma. Observations that AirBnB might be doing more harm than good to cities having "housing crisis" issues, and the fact that Uber and Lyft are actually harming public transportation rider numbers and putting more automobiles on the roads (creating congestion).

Indentation in itself never helps readability that much. Unless of course you are hiring programmers so bad, who can't do things as basic a thing as indenting code. And I seriously doubt such programmers will automatically transform to geniuses just by using Python.

Apart from that I haven't seen any thing in Python that makes code more readable.
Good. I accidentally turned off my ad-blocker a few days ago. Almost all the ads I saw were variants on "Be paid for using your phone - download our app to mine crypto!"

I've worked in ad-tech. Part of the problem is the scale is too large for advertising networks to check all the adverts. If you run a newspaper, you get to see and approve the ads before running with them.

Online, at best, an advertising network might see the initial ad & landing page, but then it is rapidly changed once live.

I came to Lisp (Scheme/Racket) from that another side (C++, Java, Perl) and it was an enlightening experience.

Now I use Lisp nearly everywhere in a form of a small .NET runtime module.

Lisp is excellent at templating tasks. Just for comparison: StringTemplate for .NET is a whooping 400 kB of compiled binary code while my implementation of Lisp is just 35 kB (!). Sure enough, Lisp does the very same thing as StringTemplate, but in just 1/10 of the code. There is more: Lisp is Turing-complete while StringTemplate doesn't. I can add a .NET function to Lisp environment and then call it in my template. I cannot do that with StringTemplate. I repeat, this is a 35 kB Lisp David vs 400 kB StringTemplate Goliath.

Isn't Lisp beautiful?

But wait, there is more. Lisp is excellent for natural language processing because you can intersperse a human text with Lisp. Suppose the first % character enters into Lisp mode and subsequent % character exits back to text. The example of Lisp NLP would then look like:

"Hello %name%. It is time to do some math. Assume A + B = %(+ a b)%. What is the value of A when B is %b% ?"

You then fill Lisp environment with desirable values:

env["name"] = "David";
env["a"] = 15;
env["b"] = 85;

Evaluating aforementioned template will produce the following result:

"Hello David. It is time to do some math. Assume A + B = 100. What is the value of A when B is 85 ?"

With that tool at hand, you can build a user-configurable quiz system in no time. Or maybe a configurable Virtual Assistant. Or a chat bot. Or anything else, you name it.

Lisp is small as the Universe before Big Bang. Nevertheless it provides nearly endless possibilities when you have a need, a fit and imagination for them.

> Maintaining a distinction between "actual software development" and "plumbing" is elitist

You are correct - however, it doesn't mean that this statement is necessarily wrong.

Usually when I see a statement that reeks of elitism, I immediately assume lower probability of it being true, because elitism of a statement correlates with falsehood - but it's worth remembering that this correlation is not absolute, and sometimes (although rare), elitism is indeed deserved and true. And in this particular case, out of my personal professional experience, elitism is absolutely deserved. There are a lots and lots of software engineers out there that can't or just won't fit more complex ideas into their minds.

And yet, you are of course, correct: these developers can, and will, do good work. They can have different skills, like knowing the users, or creating beautiful animations, or having a great game design sense. These developers don't need to be looked down upon. And yet it would be very useful for all of us to acknowledge that these developers think in a different way and require different tools - they're not "worse" than "real" engineers, but they are different.

I'd put it differently. Software development severely lacks any objective metrics of performance and quality. We just haven't invented any(at least any practical enough to become mainstream). As a result, we quite often misjudge our(and others') skill and make bad decisions.

It's the goal of software to provide more and more features. The problem is, we usually achieve those features by abusing abstractions we are using. Once the problem becomes apparent, somebody writes a library, which allows us to write a couple of times more crappy code before everything collapses. Rinse and repeat.

Since we are unable on scale to choose right abstractions when necessary, we quite often get ourselves in situations, when it's actually preferable to rewrite everything using lessons learnt. Rewriting comes with its own set of new problems and cycle is complete.

As a result, we are fundamentally unable to reuse already written code on scale, crumbling development and putting the whole industry in constant early-stage.
That's possible. Last time I checked not everyone working in every single company uploads their code to some public website.

I did some experiments with MiraCast (using MiracleCast) with the built in wireless on the RPi3. However I ran into several issues (connections not working sometimes; unreliable connections which would stop after a short time). Later I found a forum post which said that these issues could be related to the built-in wireless not correctly supporting WFD. Maybe the RPi3B+ fixes this issue but someone would have to try that.
Nope, drugs sales in the EU alone are enough to cover pharmaceutical R&D costs worldwide. What they aren't enough to cover is Marketing costs, but that's OK since most EU countries don't allow direct marketing of drugs.

To give you a straight answer: no, it isn't. Intel isn't afraid to get its hands dirty and will take a close look at every opportunity to sabotage AMD, but this was amateur hour. At the very very least, Intel would've exposed an actually serious flaw in Ryzen. There's already a strong suspicion that CTS isn't a real lab but just something set up to make it look more credible, while the actual exploits have been bought through a 0day broker. This is amateur hour by some people who've never done actual security research and are only in for a quick buck. Odds are high this will lead to an investigation for stock manipulation.

> No one gets rich working in healthcare in Germany, but no one goes bankrupt using it.

the notion that one should get rich working in healthcare is a strange one to me?

You work in healthcare because you want to help other people in getting a healthy (and hopefully happy) life? Money should not be the prime motivator for working in healthcare in my opinion.

a good example of this is my S.O, which works in specialized care for the mentally ill. She makes around 30K euro's a year (which is slight below the global average in NL). Its a decent wage, it's not going to make you a millionare. It's a very demanding job in terms of working hours, stress and physical labour but the energy she get's from it makes it absolutely worth it for her.

Money should not be your prime motivator in life.
The problem is that LE is being used as plumbing. I noticed MIAB was using LE because I recognise that SSL-out-of-the-box is something interesting, and I investigated. But I wager most people who use it will have no idea. They just install it, and "it works", as it should. great. What's HTTPS? That's the entire point of tools like MIAB, mind you:

> Technically, Mail-in-a-Box turns a fresh cloud computer into a working mail server. But you don’t need to be a technology expert to set it up.

https://mailinabox.email

I'm just choosing MIAB as an example here. This applies to anything that LE now enables. People don't know they're using LE, much like IOT users don't know they're using HTTP/1.1. It's part of the plumbing. What's an ACME client? What's LE? What's v1?

This is probably happening for IOT devices across the globe just the same. A 2y expiration date is an order of magnitude too low for plumbing. Imagine if we suddenly decided to phase out HTTP/1.1 within two years.

We have to recognise that we are shoving HTTPS down people's throats. Pretty soon, HTTP will get big f-off warnings. OK: fair enough. However, if we're doing that, we should also provide a viable alternative, with the same reliability. Otherwise, HTTPS is a massive step backwards for the decentralised web. LE is that alternative, but not if we start breaking backwards compatibility every 2 years.

Was just talking about my own personal experience as founder and daily user, in the vein of an experience review as one user requested in another comment.

https://www.omicsonline.org/open-access/hypnosis-for-ptsd-ev... A placebo-controlled study found that it was effective as a treatment for PTSD and had significant and durable effects weeks after. As well as trials in treating IBS https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11151439 showing similar levels of long-term effectiveness. These trials are only a subset and only show the effects removing the effects of placebo in double-blind trials and the ability for long-term effects; not evidence that our app works.

There is also evidence that hypnosis is highly effective in conjunction with CBT in treating psychological disorders, but similarly, the research is still early and not immediately transferable to Mindset https://www-tandfonline-com.ezproxy.lib.monash.edu.au/doi/ab.... Additionally, a (small) study found hypnosis had a significant ability to enhance self-efficacy, affect, and sports performance in soccer players https://journals.humankinetics.com/doi/pdf/10.1123/jcsp.2.2.....

Currently, we're relying on the evidence supporting hypnosis itself rather than research conducted into the efficacy of Mindset. Considering the stage we're at we think that's reasonable, especially considering we provide a significant opportunity for users to experience the effects themselves in the app.

In the future, however, we definitely will conduct double-blind trials into the effectiveness of Mindset but it is just not possible at this time.

Thanks for taking such a considered look at the app, appreciate the interest!

Yes, I think this is very much underappreciated. When people find a language or system that matches their way of thinking, it works a lot better for them. But not necessarily for the next person. So you get small communities of people who find that e.g. Lisp has been amazing for them, who can't see that other people think differently about programs and systems.
It is not. In fact, OP states exactly how it is not, by saying that Reddit does very little to stop the toxicity of reddit.

Are you shielded from the "bad parts" of reddit if you don't subscribe to that type of sub-reddit? Well, maybe, unless you hit /r/all in your top navigation. It's all right there lurking under the surface. Reddit gets very dark very fast and it is factual that they don't control it nearly as well as they should.

So no, it is not like "complaining about the internet because it contains websites that you have no obligation to ever visit" because the internet has no mechanism to surface bad content on the whim of its users. All it takes on reddit to surface something terrible is coordination and hitting the upvote button.
