Ask HN: How to learn Clojure with Java experience?
I have previously programmed in Java and want to get into using a Lisp. What would be some good resources for learning Clojure as a first Lisp?

I believe this is the reason why, at least in Germany, no new paternosters are allowed to be constructed, and existing paternosters are usually converted to conventional elevators during renovations.
Galeras SST is going to rsync the files over but I can't imagine how you got an SST to initiate from a wiped data directory that would somehow wipe another one. Would love to see a reproducer for the condition you describe.
I agree with this overall, but have serious reservations here:

Bitcoin could easily be extended to have an EVM

are you talking about Script, or some other approach I don’t know about? I think it’s pretty optimistic to put the word “easily” anywhere near a proposed use of Script.
Preliminary benchmarks are available on the website.

I use a setup that's similar in spirit. My custom keyboard has palm keys (kind of like the https://shop.keyboard.io/), which I have mapped to control and shift (on a mac). I have a Sublime Text keymap file that has a bunch of vim-like bindings under control, so basically it is like vim but the state of my palms is the editing state, holding one down is movement, both is selection. It's really nice.

You can see the keymap here: https://github.com/trishume/SublimeTect/blob/master/Default%...

Mandatory sabbaticals to build organizational processes and resiliency
This happened for waltonchain. They got caught red handed faking a community giveaway, and that was a big enough story to bring them into the spotlight and push them into the top 30 cryptocurrencies by market cap for a bit.
For me, concocted stories (if done right) are an exercise in human creativity & ingenuity. The characters are an amplification of our own character traits, and the situations are metaphors for our own lives.

If done masterfully—this overrealization captivates me, and the emotions I feel at the end are real. And I can learn something new about myself for it.
If customers are involved maybe their signoff is necessary (not technically, but contractually). QA seems like an important, necessary step in any delivery process, "continuous" or not: tests aren't infallible and a combination of complementary automated and manual tests aren't a bad thing necessarily.

I find often when developers think something that is process driven like this isn't necessary it's because they're not thinking outside their own direct and immediate concerns.
Yeah this piece was definitely more ad hominem than it needed to be. Ironically, Manjoo confessing to not being able to completely cut off Twitter would've made for a more compelling story, even if it meant a less sexy and concise headline and summary. But that would bolster the overall theme that situations/stories are just too complicated to be summed up in Tweet-optimized headlines.
Well, it's all relative to the threat model. It makes some sense on a single-user machine where you don't run any untrusted code, as the same user or not.

On a single-user machine, an attack scenario where authenticating localhost would actually do some good would be some other account existing that's easier to break into than the account of the user actually doing stuff. But if no other login exists?
That is is what drives me away from novel input methods and over-configured setups in general. On one hand it feels silly, but it feels a lot worse to be bewildered by a default setup.
I’m not a physicist but I have a background in applied mathematics.

What I am trying to describe is the inherent nonlinearity of general relativity, wherein compound solutions cannot be obtained simply summing up or overlaying simpler situations: the gravity filed itself generates more gravity, so it can recursively reach and sustain a critical value.
I violently disagree with 19. The overuse of contrived means of creating tension is lazy, predictable, and frustrating. More unpleasant is the tendency of characters to become inexplicably stupid, inexperienced, and illogical under those circumstances. I’m not asking for purely rationalist fiction, but if the tension is utterly contrived, I check out.

Contrived tension is no more useful than contrived resolution of tension. When the characters suddenly act like idiots born yesterday, they lose any sense of depth or agency. If you want a prime example of what I’m talking about, watch The Walking Dead.
> But everyone already knows they have limited range. You aren’t adding to the online conversation. You aren’t going to change anything.

Realistically everything in this hypothetical conversation will be things that “everyone” knows. Unless you’re discussing confidential info about EVs, everything is by definition public knowledge and probably even common knowledge. Most conversations are about opinions rather than facts.

Is the guy who comments about EVs having all their torque available from a standstill also adding nothing to the conversation? What about the guy who mentions the environmental friendliness? Or the one who mentions the environmental costs of lithium mining? Who is really adding to the conversation here?

> In this conversation, we know there are downsides to cloud-based voice recognition. Telling someone who built it that it’s not for you, doesn’t add any value.

And yet it’s the top comment and the top reply provides info about a platform that doesn’t have the same drawback. I think this is pretty clearly value added.
Another $15k or $20k isn't going to change my life. Having things I want to work on will. In my ideal world, I would have work I want to do and wouldn't care if my salary did anything more than keep up with inflation. I wouldn't have to keep my whiteboarding skills sharp, wouldn't have to keep learning how new company Z's politics are just as silly as company X and Y's.

The fact that the money and titles are bothering me is the sign that the work isn't something I want to do.
Matthew Flatt (at Utah, advisee of Matthias) teaches the same way. He emphasizes test-driven development and formal methods for designing a program that will work.

One of my favorite tricks I picked up was to write the header comment for a function before writing any of the code. Once you've written down what the function is meant to do, it's often almost trivial to actually implement. (This is especially helpful when first learning recursion, as I was when I took the class.)
>Another thing you have going for yourself is - you can basically skip high school math and jump right in for the good stuff.

I'd strongly disagree with this. To the mathematically literate, concepts like "imaginary numbers", "prime numbers" and "logarithms" are just simply understood things which are familiar and have always been a part of your lexicon. These are actually wildly complex, abstract ideas which take years to fully grasp as an adult being first exposed to the material. Developing a mathematical intuition to the level of an advanced high schooler is no small feat for an adult with zero mathematical training. I'd strongly suggest anyone actually starting from zero mathematical knowledge to go back and spend time doing basic remedial math courses from the point of simple algebra and arithmetic with a good teacher to truly understand numbers first.
Currently on the front page: "The antidepressant effect of sleep deprivation" - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16557500

A quick skim makes it sound a bit more complicated, only working on people who already have depression. May answer the question though.
My realization from this article is a worrying trend of developing AI ASICS behind closed doors and only using them internally in your own datacenters or renting them through an abstraction, as a service.

Given how it's 2018 and we still don't have a single FOSS mobile phone in production, it's very possible that this technology will never leave the thin-client model, and we'll never see a retail sale of (open/programmable) neuromorphic hardware.
> However, if you're offering a luxury, customers can simply choose not to buy if they don't think the price is worth it.

Right, but the market price usually isn't exactly the same as the maximum price customers would be willing to pay, because competition between suppliers forces suppliers to set their prices lower than that. This is referred to in economics as the consumer surplus[1]. So that is where the "magical" 20% comes from: from the consumer and producer surplus.

Agree! And on that note, where are the lung cancers in non-smokers who work/worked around second hand smoke?
There have been version control and great IDEs for about 40 years.
Accessibility isn’t always as guaranteed as people like to imagine. Lots of buildings have no accessibility today even in the US. Buildings with this sort of elevator are probably grandfathered out of accessibility requirements just like buildings without elevators.
No serious user of Vim would ever suggest that you not customize it. It's worth knowing the basics of a stock Vim configuration for simple use cases on a new system or in an environment where you can't or don't want user config, but if you're writing software all day in a stock Vim configuration, you're a masochist or a fool.
I kind of agree about the light. Everyone I know that needs some light on during the night needs it because of some problem. Either the person is afraid of being in total dark, which is a sign of anxiety and is associated with depression, or have some other problem.

I don't like sleeping with the lights on, but it became a necessity because I have frequent sleep terrors where I wake up confused in the middle of my room. A light helps me understand what's happening and where I am faster, and I don't collide into things as much. Sleep terrors are associated with some mental problems, so there would be a correlation between mental problems and the fact that people have the lights on too (considering I'm not the only one who does that), but both things are not causally connected.
Disclaimer: co-founder of Qtum

Qtum sounds like the thing you could be looking for. To TL;DR; it, Qtum is a smart contract platform on an independent blockchain that supports PoS (not DPoS, true PoS) and designed to support multiple smart contract VMs. Right now it only supports the EVM and thus can only run Solidity smart contracts, but later this year we'll release a new VM based on the x86 architecture so that it will be possible to use mainstream languages like C++, Rust, Go, etc...

Anyway, ending the whole description bit, we built it because of similar thoughts as you. Tired of seeing the only suitable smart contract platform (Ethereum) be treated like some philosophical research project, rather than a platform that businesses and people stake hundreds of millions of dollars on. Everything we design is intended to be practical to not just use, but also implement. We pride ourselves in never missing any deadlines we set for ourselves, and in never having some pipe dream project that won't be ready to use for 5 years.

Well yeah. If the cameras and sensors fail, then you'll probably want to replace them with your own eyes. That's kinda hard to do when there's a bunch of car body in the way.

Churchill was definitely a racist and a killer, and that list of his atrocities and would-be atrocities is chilling. I object however, to the inclusion of the firebombing of Dresden in that list. The Germans were an enemy in the second World War they started, and breaking the spirit of an enemy is a valid and viable strategy. In short, if you don’t want to be firebombed, don’t try to exterminate millions of innocent people and take over Europe, twice. Starving Indians because you don’t like them, or proposing to gas people is not the same thing as attacking an aggressor in a war.
I don't know about "easily", but that's pretty much exactly what Qtum did. It's a UTXO blockchain with EVM and other smart contracts on top. It required about 6 solid months to figure out how to make it work and the output of that is something called "The Account Abstraction Layer" to basically decouple smart contracts from the underlying blockchain protocol
The parent explicitly states "I would not be surprised that SOMEONE who is a victim has an axe to grind with a genocidal expropriative regime".
I had to close the pop-over, re-open the link, and refresh just to read more than the headline of the article. This is just with uBlock installed. Seriously, WTF is up with web pages these days?
I don't understand why DNS rebinding isn't being fixed by browser vendors. If I make an application that listens only on localhost I shouldn't have to take special steps to ensure random 3rd party remote hosts don't have access to it. The browser's DNS client could see if any recently accessed public IP now resolves to a private IP range and force a fresh CORS check.
I think they're probably reading user agent strings. Otherwise it's incredibly specific
I did not. I can't recall why, but I tried it and it was not for me
Churchill was a racist and a killer, now let me erase that statement by blatantly defending him, see he wasn't so bad after all!

This one reminds me of writing advice from South Park's Trey Parker: write better stories by figuring out how to replace all your "ands" and "buts" with "therefore".

> 20. Exercise: take the building blocks of a movie you dislike. How d’you rearrange them into what you DO like?

This one strikes me as an especially great idea! Rewrite something bad to make it good. There are certainly some shows I've bitched about (like a lot of people) but I would have a hard time dissecting it to find what's wrong with it, and even harder time fixing it. Having to do it would certainly be educational.
The (admittedly just two) places I have seen had a "normal" elevator for this purpose.
James Clapper avoids charges for 'clearly erroneous' surveillance testimony
The result is that the stories of their kovies feel telegraphed in advance. Coco definitely felt that way to me. It was still worth watching for other reasons but there is very little in the way of real suspense or surprise. On the other hand that doesn’t seem to be a problem for kids movies.
If you think about it, it is orders of magnitude less dreadful than walking on a street with hundreds of cars around you, driven by strangers.
The problem with that is the placebo effect..
Same here, always thought it would make a great push-to-talk button for voice chat.
I really like to learn more about this scenario. Is it covered anywhere in more detail? Maybe some examples?
What is so dangerous about them? I do not get it.
No doubt professionals in the investing field have done good work, highly competent and smart. I was making a reference to Warren Buffet, there was a story where he was working with very high IQ individuals that made a mistake by over-complicating the strategy behind a decision. In the end, he said that you only needed a IQ of 130, smart but not a genius.

I don't think it has anything to do with DNS rebinding, but it seems like it would have a lot to do with having unauthenticated RPC services bound to localhost.
>> It also shows how plugged in you can be and still feel yourself to be unplugged.

WTF? Is this journalist an imbecile? No. Therefore the journalist knew exactly what 'unplugged' meant and he intentionally mislead his audience in order to save himself spending time on actual research. He should be fired and never allowed to work as a journalist again. No second chances.

I'm sick of nasty lying sacks of shit getting second, third, fourth, fifth... chances while there are millions of honest people waiting in the queue to get their first chance.

As a beginning VIM user I started out with the stock keybindings idea. After using it for nearly a decade, my finding is that it's like learning multiple spoken languages. It's not hard to switch context and use vanilla VIM despite normally using lots of customization. But, I do try to keep things idiomatic and predictable and not override frequently used key bindings.
It's better yet if we can deliver features fast with internationalization, accessibility, security, maintainability, and so on. Whenever I dabble in retro computing, usually via emulation, I appreciate how much progress we've really made. And if a phone needs 2 GB of RAM, and a laptop needs 8, well, the world has much bigger problems.
Great idea! I've messed around with things like this in the past, though I've used my pedals for music editing and DJ software. I opened sourced my last attempt, which includes a neat little python GUI to reprogram the keys (https://www.manykey.org/).

Haven't tried foot keys with an editor, but it seems like once you integrated them into your workflow they would be quite useful.
The Mote in God's Eye and its sequel are perennial faves of mine in this regard.

Individual characterization is nothing special, probably par for the course for SF of that era, but nobody is stupid and nobody is evil and watching everything play out organically is just fascinating.
At first I expected this to be something about the process of synaptic pruning, which doesn’t seem to work for people with autism and could be a big part of how autism works. I guess in retrospect this is only somewhat related to prediction in that the brain has to predict which pathways will be used and which won’t in the future, and eliminate the less used (and less valuable) ones. That’s really a key process to learning and associating things, which sort of ties into what’s described in this article.
You can open the "tweets" tab in GP's linked doc. None of them look particularly automated.
It has been proven multiple times, at Xerox PARC, ETHZ, DEC Olivetti, Microsoft that garbage collection systems programming languages are doable.

However technology adoption always needs to fight against non-believers.

Joe Duffy has stated on his Rustconf 2017 presentation [0] that even Midori running on front for their eyes, with some use cases where System C# was even shoulder-with-shoulder with C++ [1], that Windows devteam was not getting it.

Nowadays he is an happy Go coder instead of trying to convince them otherwise.

D has a big problem with their GC implementation, which provides good arguments for the anti-GC crowd in systems programming.

However they have been improving it quite a bit during the latest releases, as well as, making the runtime library more @nogc friendly.

As for reaching mainstream, I share your thoughts. It is not only Rust and Go. There is also Swift, C++17 and the ongoing improvements to make Java and C# more machine friendly (memory management and AOT compilation).

Still, even if just a small group gets to use it, it is already a victory.

Most languages never achieve it.

I LOVED transparencies. The teacher brought it to the classroom if was not already there, and plugged it in. And there you have the presentation. Sit and wait while a humanities professor is dabbling with the computer corpse installed in the classroom and the projector that projects nearly a diamond shaped image onto a random place on the wall, until they just give up after some dozen of minutes. Or they set up edmodo and send you PPTXs instead of proper notes, and you need to watch stupid animations until you can get to see that 64th page with the paragraph you need to read, hopefully not coloured stupidly or not illegible in another way due to an incompatibility with the thing on the phone that renders those files, so that you don't have to wait until you go back home to look at the thing on the computer.
No idea why the notch is a headline feature, no users will care. In any case, the design looks like a win to me.
To see it done with imperative style, check out Stavely's write-up or book on the Cleanroom method:

http://infohost.nmt.edu/~al/cseet-paper.html

I'd like to see a HtDP/Racket attempt at Cleanroom to see what differences or similarities there would be. SPARK Ada and miniKanren, too. It's already closer to them with its algebraic style of specification of programs that use only a few primitives for easier analysis. Edit to add that what DonaldPShimoda describes is exactly what Cleanroom required with its "intended functions."

Regulators and courts don't tend to enjoy those types of games. I wouldn't expect it to work so long as you maintain your actual business in the US.
I think you read the word "contrived" into a place where it was not. I think it's more like, "the characters heard legend that A could happen, but despite this they need to accomplish B. And of course, at the worst possible moment A happens and now they have to overcome it." It's like nature's chekhov's gun.
