I keep hearing this and I'm thinking its a generational difference.

When I grew up having a computer was a big thing and we certainly didn't have one for each person in my home we had a family computer which i think cost around 1K in 1995 or around 1700 adjusted for inflation.

I think that as computers have gotten progressively cheaper it ought to be increasingly likely to have a computer per person but I feel like the family computer ought to still to some degree to be a thing but have no stats to back this intuition.

However even with one user it would be good to have a login to protect data from at least casual snooping. Ideally since laptops have become more common than desktops full disk encryption ought to be sort of a minimum requirement. Maybe someone can port luks.

Harder but zfs would also be neat as well as it includes encryption.

This is a complicated question, depending on your cash position, where you want to buy, alternatives to buying, risk tolerance, future interest rates, and forward plans (5-10 years).

No one else can tell you that you shouldn't buy right now, if you can afford a house, need a house, and are willing to potentially be stuck under water for 5-10 years if prices go down, there are good reasons to purchase in this market. Just know going in that inventories are at historic lows, prices are very high, terms for purchasers are bad (in many markets), and many people are going to regret rushing in and purchasing homes in haste because they are worried about missing out, due to how quickly homes are selling.
This article highlights one reason why I had huge issues with the Trans-Pacific Partnership ("TPP") agreement and more specifically Malaysia's inclusion in the regional partnership. Pro-trade supporters would argue that the US is "great and can out-compete" any country. I would argue that the US workers can not compete with international free labor.
I haven't tried doing this in other Lisps, but it's really easy if you're using Clojure's most popular build tool, Leiningen. For JVM Clojure you can produce a single .jar ("uberjar") that you can run as you'd expect, and for ClojureScript, Google's Closure Compiler is used to output a single minified and tree-shaken JS file.

> . . . a 100 line lisp function . . . .

I think I see the problem.

100 line functions, aside from methods in DAOs, are a code smell in any language.
Not all universities! Simon Fraser University uses a 4.33 point scale (A = 4.00, A+ = 4.33) and its average GPA in 2017 (2.83) is only slightly above the average GPA in 1992 (2.80). Over that 25 year period, the university-wide average grade awarded has varied between a low of 2.77 and a high of 2.85.

Students complain. They complain a lot. We know that we're losing pre-med students to UBC -- which awards much higher grades on average -- because when we ask them why they decided to not accept SFU's admission offer, they reply "I'm planning on becoming a doctor and UBC will give me the higher grades I need". This also happens to a lesser extent with pre-law students. Over the past few years we've started displaying course average grades on transcripts and sending letters to graduate schools saying "so, there's something you should know about SFU's grades...".

I don't know how long SFU will be able to hold the line against grade inflation, but we're trying. It's not fair to students who worked hard to get a GPA of 3.7 (currently around 2% of students manage this) if next year's students can get that just by showing up.

In the mean time, if you see a student with a 4.00 GPA from Simon Fraser University... believe it.

EDIT: Out of curiosity, I pulled some statistics from the class graduating from SFU at the end of the 2017/18 year:

First Class Honours with Distinction (Honours program, 4.00+ GPA) 6
Honours with Distinction (Honours program, 3.50+ GPA) 61
Honours 61
First Class with Distinction (Major program, 4.00+ GPA) 24
With Distinction (Major program, 3.50+ GPA) 265
Bachelors 1769

Across the university, 1.37% of students graduate with a 4.00+ GPA and 16.29% graduate with a 3.50+ GPA.
What do you mean by "number calculation"? In at least one sense, any kind of computation at all is a "number calculation".
That’s not true. For example, owning bitcoin gives you property rights.
I understand your concerns, to be honest.
Please don't think I'm a sociopath, or a "player".
I've just had too many bad experiences in this site (at one point a date told me that maybe the reason I'm not really experienced in relationships is because my parents' divorce "screwed me in the head"), have been verbally abused (Someone in the site told me that the fact I've sent her a message tells her I live in a fantasy).
I've wanted to quit, but I'm shy. So shy, it feels as if this site is my only alternative.
I've tried to contact okcupid's support team - I wanted them to ask them to add the options to filter out empty profiles, to reflect uncertainty in their matching algorithm (I oft see a profile with 90% ranking, only to see it's based on TWO answers!!), or to add the options to filter on the personality traits that are important to me (OKCupid allows you to filter based on people's personality traits - such us "sexpirience" or political inclinations, but they didn't allow that on traits important to me, such as "nerdiness" or "literacy" - even though they tag profiles matching these traits. They just, for reasons beyond me, don't allow you to filter that in the search page)
They've refused.
So I've decided to do their job, for my sake.

I'm also not taking it too seriously. This is my pet project (I'm not obsessed with it), and a place where I channel the negative residue that sticks to me from logging into that site.

I don't keep it disclosed, Aù contraire, I write that plain on my profile "I use a JS script to filter out empty profiles".
Most of the people that send me a message in OKCupid don't even bother reading my profile (even though I've kept my it brief). And the ones who do find it amusing, and interesting.
They talk about it from their Series A announcement:

"The top 1 percent of income earners, those having an adjusted annual gross income of $480,930 or higher, pay about 39 percent of federal income taxes. That means about 892,000 Americans are stuck with paying 39 percent of all federal taxes."

Another source about who is not paying any taxes, and who receives money from government - https://nypost.com/2016/02/24/45-percent-of-americans-pay-no...

How much exactly should be top 1% be paying to no longer be blamed for not paying taxes?
I'm disappointed by this paper. The general review of the language is of the sort that you can find a dime a dozen on LISP enthusiast sites--so this paper does little to effectively recruit existing programmers to the cause. On the other hand, the references to current bioinformatics projects using LISP is helpful as an index, but provide few details to convince a biologist that they're worth checking out--so I'm not convinced on that side either. The "key point" of a forthcoming BioLisp is embarrassingly glossed over.

I think the paper would be much stronger if it focused on that BioLisp aspect, talking about:

* What is BioLisp? A mere web portal pointing to various resources across various languages? An attempt to create a curated installation of version-compatible libraries for a specific LFL? An attempt to develop a fully-integrated framework for that LFL??

(I think Sage for Python might be a useful model here, but if you were trying to build that, you'd have to start by picking your LFL, which the authors at present seem unwilling to advocate. That in itself demonstrates one of the main liabilities at present in adopting LISP--the community is fractured between Racket, Scheme, Clojure, and various implementations of Common LISP--often to the extent that they argue over whether their respective opponent languages even _deserve_ to be called LISPs. And, of course, in this forum we even have Arc fanatics to add to the lot. ;-) )

* What challenges face biologists attempting to use LISP in their work? How does BioLisp help to address those? ("Your language lacks macros" is not an argument at a sufficiently detailed level, I'm afraid. Rather, actually show them a DSL built in LISP that they will desperately want!)

* For that matter, what challenges face biologists attempting to use R/Python/Julia/etc for their work? How does BioLisp help to address those?

* What promising pieces could BioLisp be built upon? What pieces are missing? What pieces need modernization?

By all means, I encourage scientists and LISP enthusiasts to make the case that biologists should/could be using LISP--but make sure you actually make the case!
The C standard was (and is) written so that it allowed for machines that didn't have simple pointers; a highly relevant example for the time was x86 machines in real or protected mode using segment registers. Even when such environments have accessible linear address spaces under the hood, comparing the absolute address of two pointers requires some extra work (you have to reassemble the absolute address from the segment + offset pair). In the grand tradition of allowing the most efficient implementation possible, the C standard says that implementations don't have to do this work; they can simply compare pointer values directly, provided that they insure that pointers to the same object work (eg use the same segment + offset pair, which they normally naturally will).

The standard was also written to allow for C interpreters, where you may not have an underlying linear memory model at all and all pointers are represented internally in some complex way (for example 'object ID + offset inside object'). Here you don't have any particular idea of 'an address' as a distinct thing and so you can't naturally compare two pointers to different objects in any meaningful way.
That's my view as well. In a time of information overload especially, people seem to be far more concerned in simply ending uncertainty, than validating the answer that precipitates that certainty. I believe this is referred to as the firehose model of propoganda. It effectively normalizes tu quoque fallacies, as the people whole have taken on a new set of facts are completely unprepared to debate the merits of those facts, and instead fallback to defending their newfound certainty.

The problem is that the economic argument is nonsensical unless you significantly raise taxes on people who are not in the 1%, as the amount of potential revenue involved is a pittance. At least in the US, only 20% of the population pay net taxes (tax payments minus transfers from all sources), so even if you raised effective tax rates to 100% on the upper few percent, ignoring the immediate collapse of that tax revenue, the amount of new revenue would be underwhelming.

For the US, the policy challenge is that the distribution of net tax payers is significantly more biased toward the top end of the income range than in many countries in Europe (i.e. it is more progressive, ironically). There is no practical way to sustainably raise substantial tax revenues without expanding the number of people who pay net taxes. This means substantially raising taxes in the 2nd (60-80%) quintile, who have five-figure household incomes on average, and probably the 40%-60% quintile as well.

Any definition of "rich" that could generate substantial net tax revenue is going to come significantly out of the pockets of the middle class. Convincing someone earning $90k in California that they are so wealthy that they should downgrade their lifestyle would be an unenviable task for a politician.

Any "solution" to this that relies on crypto/signing will fail. Propagandists will just make their fake videos and then record them off of a computer monitor and claim that they're a whistleblower "leaking" the video from an internal system they can't otherwise access.

I don't really think reputation has a better chance of solving this either, people are all-too-happy to believe anything that confirms their personal beliefs and ignore whatever contradicts them regardless of source.

It's interesting that a lot of the comments here look at how to prove a certain video is real (and assume that people will accept that any video without a certain trait is fake) rather than proving directly that a certain video is fake.

I think the pictures-as-proof is a straw man. There are a lot of people that believe what they see if it reinforces their existing beliefs. If you make videos of Trump saying something bad, people on the left will believe it, even if the provenance is weak, and people on the right will be inclined to disbelief. A similar fake video with Obama or Clinton will have an opposite effect. Much of that effect can be had without any provenance at all due to the general ability of videos to circulate, usually though social media, with little to no real “authoritative source” to validate them.

In 2003, Intel was able to reinvent its CPU design center in response to the previous iteration of PC miniaturization (the laptop market was ready to explode, while desktops were slowing down). They did this by running a skunkworks design project in Intel's Israel division (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_M). After the Israeli engineers were able to show how their design fixed Pentium 4's architectural issues, it became the basis for all successful Intel processors for the next decade.

Intel did great in process technology and the ecosystem around their chips. They were extremely well positioned to grab the smartphone market. Contrary to popular belief, x86 is entirely capable of the TDPs required by mobile phones. The Core m3 has a configurable TDP under 4W while making none of the compromises of Atom. It might have taken another skunkworks project to cut some modules and bring it down to the milliwatt range, but it could have been done. Intel simply allowed itself to be outmaneuvered out of the smartphone market, by complacency and unwillingness to lower the "tax". That worked fine for a decade, but now they're seeing the side effects of the resulting brain drain.
Right, but the rate of interest also has a huge impact on the ability of the loan to be repaid.
