You can set up your apache/nginx or whatever webserver to redirect http requests to https. That way you can still link to your website with an http:// URL.
I'm not sure it's fair to bring up a fractured build system when talking about ClojureScript, and comparing it to Common Lisp, which you would not be compiling to JavaScript and interop'ing with NodeJS etc.

With (JVM) Clojure, leiningen has to be 90+% of the Clojure projects in the wild. And in that world, the equivalent to a native binary is an uberjar, which is rather easy and pretty much standardized.

The stack traces could be improved though.
Why would you compare a backend with a frontend framework? Are you implying Node on the backend? React developers are dependent on a backend, be it Node, a managed solution like Firebase, or Rails.

I don't think it's a matter of React instead of Rails, but rather, Rails developers are learning they must add frontend skills, and React seems the safe bet. Many are probably shifting to Node, given the idea (true or not) that Javascript in the entire stack makes the most sense.
Show HN: De-sk, modular office desk system
Unless the popularity of Rails, Python, PHP, and Javascript was all just collective insanity, dynamic languages do offer benefits in some circumstances over languages with stronger type guarantees.

The benefit they offer is fewer checks so you can deploy things faster.

It's the same benefit you can get if you take your car to a mechanic who doesn't bother to check the wheels are attached properly after they've changed the brake discs.

Ask HN: Signing HTTP Messages
I've been working on caching some game assets for lounges in Lebanon where the connection is not that great. Some gaming platforms deliver their data using HTTP, others with HTTPS. Each has its problems.

The two dimensions I am concerned with here are privacy and integrity.
HTTPS provides both, but privacy hinders optimal delivery and caching.

I recently found this, but was wondering if there's a place for a totally new scheme, something like httpi (i for integrity). The cross-links between content (in a browser) should be figured out, but I imagine http sites should be able to load data from both. httpv should be able to load data from httpv & https links; https only loads https links.

The PKI infrastructure for https could be used as is for something like httpi

Wouldn't this be better than depending on header fields like in [0]?

Yeah I don't actually know if I was using the right terminology. Most of what I wrote in that comment stemmed from me asking a friend 'Hey, so that thing you work on -- looks less flat and more round. What's up with that?'

No, that’s not reasonable at all. You’d be assuming not only that the implementation is exactly what you want, but also that it will be identical on all platforms and will never change.

In practice for .NET it sounds like that’s actually correct -- the bad implementation will never be fixed. That seems like a bad thing.

This demographic seems especially vulnerable to untrusted 3rd party networks that promise speed or unlimited traffic. People able to make an actually informed decision about security trade-offs are probably a more difficult and could probably work around negative trade-offs by themselves, as mentioned by others. So unless you target especially them, you should probably go with the safer default.

I was told, essentially, that Rails is still too new and scary to be considered secure and mature and ready for enterprise use, and that I had to use either .NET or Java. There's another half of this project that's already written in pure client/server Java, so that's what I chose. If I had it to do over again, I would have chosen .NET.
I'm a long time emacs user and switched to VSCode for the same reasons (the amazing JS support in VSCode). For keybindings, I'm using the Emacs Friendly Keymap extension and didn't find it to be quite as buggy as the author describes (I might just be using less key combinations though).

I used emacs for writing JS for years, and for the time js2-mode
was amazing, but the JS I'm writing now is quite a bit different. JSX and Vue templates complicate the situation as well.

Since VSCode is written in JS, I suspect that it will always have advantages when writing JS in the same way that emacs will probably always have an advantage when writing Lisp.

I think better diagnostic testing is one way to solve this. Oncology in some ways is easy since the data input is usually a set of biomarkers particular to that tumour (i.e. estrogen receptor, her2/neu, etc). It's probably the most rapidly advancing field in medicine. Same with radiology and dermatology where the input can be images which can be standardized. Dealing with analog humans is another challenge entirely!

Better biomarkers for acute illnesses with fewer false positives would help you better test 'accuracy' versus an ML model.
Why not use Org's built-in org->latex->pdf exporter? AFAIK Pandoc isn't compatible with many of the more interesting Org features, such as Babel.

> The configuration of plugins is non-trivial to figure out, sure you can copy paste a bunch of stuff from the web, but how do I figure the configuration out on my own?

For what it's worth I feel like the best way is to just explore the settings and see what's there. Ctrl-, to open settings, then you should see the default settings on the left side. Most plugin authors are pretty good about putting decent comments to explain their configurations, and the auto-complete should help to evaluate any options available.

"What do you understand by CLI?".. Something about this question makes me question what they are expecting you to answer. Last sentance: "CLI is very easy to use, but it should be typed very precisely.".. First of CLI includes sh,ash,bash,ksh and all other command lines, all with a variaty of difficulty and their own querks. "CLI is very easy" depends on how well you know it, master it and obfuscate an operation in it. I am not sure what that question, or whatever answer you get out of it, would help you determain what a person actually know beside knowing the abriviation?
Your girlfriend also made the "mistake" of being a woman, and I wish I were kidding about that.

The fact that "borderline histrionic" is diagnosed much more often in women echoes back to the Victorian diagnosis of "hysteria", and pain reported by women is often discounted.

And unfortunately for her, ADHD also falls into the category of doctors ignoring women. It's slowly getting better, but essentially, all diagnostic tools were tailored to boys, and the first studies for girls' symptoms were beginning to come out in the early 2000s.[1] If you read that article, you'll also find that her way to discover ADHD is common for women - you find out because your child is diagnosed.

It's not only that ailments are hard to diagnose, it's that most medical research is tailored towards white males. (And most experiments are geared towards the college age group, due to ready availability).

The further you're outside of that group, the more work you'll have to do on your own.

There's 21 people known to have or have had (I assume not all are living) disease. 21, ever, in the whole world.

You're going to have a hell of a time getting anyone to dedicate resources to this anywhere but likely a harder time a harder time getting resources dedicated to this in a market where treating a rare disease is not as lucrative. Whether it should be as lucrative as it is in the US is a different discussion. Of course she made a public appeal. It opens up the possibility of raising that number to more than 21 and if some pharma company has a stack of cash they want to burn on PR they can use that stack of cash to try and help make progress toward understanding this disease in a suitably visible way.

I have a colleague who is an ML PhD student part time and works as an engineer part time, but his research (NLP with a focus on text classification) aligns well with his job such that the company supports him writing on his thesis and going on conferences on company time. He's doing a presentation in two weeks about a paper he's written, on company time.

I have no idea how have managed to swing that, and if this arrangement will last for long. He's only been employed here for about a year.
You could argue that ChromeOS has, since it's based on Gentoo.
I got to live parallel to some of this. In the early 00's Agencies would send their designers/creatives/frontend devs to conferences that centered around Flash. Along with marketing talks and inspirational self help crap, the events gave a platform for some very smart/creative individuals. The enthusiasm drove a circle of innovation and competitiveness, which was good fun to watch. The scene has somewhat fallen off my radar since those days, but articles like this remind me of my soft spot for it.
Having seen what a PhD did to the mental health of a lot of my friends, I would heavily advice people considering one to figure out how they’ll mentally cope.

Because RSS gives readers too much signal, and not enough noise (ads, profiling), and doesn't keep users within the walled garden ecosystems. That's why apps are popular, too.
