Low signal-to-noise posts about Clojure are damaging to adoption because it doesn't say anything about why Clojure is a good option on the JVM.

Instead, I will try to give some reasons why Clojure is a good fit for high-performance stream fusion, which I presume AppsFlyer has to do a lot of:

- [Onyx](https://github.com/onyx-platform/onyx) for distributed, masterless, fault-tolerant data processing

- [core.async](https://github.com/clojure/core.async) for CSP-style events through a channel abstraction. I miss core.async so much in every other language, I generally end up implementing a subset of the semantics.

- [Transducers](https://clojure.org/reference/transducers) for composable transformations, e.g.

(filter odd?) ;; returns a transducer that filters odd
(map inc) ;; returns a mapping transducer for incrementing
(take 5) ;; returns a transducer that will take the first 5 values of a sequence

(def xf
(comp
(filter odd?)
(map inc)
(take 5)))

(into [] xf (range 100)) ;; => [2 4 6 8 10]

Note that no intermediate data structures are created during these transformations, so it's super fast.

- [Specter](https://github.com/nathanmarz/specter) decomplects navigation and transformation, pulling apart the "where" from the "how". In most imperative languages whenever the shape or performance characteristics your data structures change, you also have to update all the code that transforms it. Not with Specter.

- Zach Tellman's [Manifold](https://github.com/ztellman/manifold) provides event-streaming abstractions on top of async workflows like lazy sequences, core.async and Java's BlockingQueues.

I think it’s the targeting. I’m no prude by any stretch and am in favor of both legalized gambling and prostitution. But I wouldn’t want either to be marketed or directly available to minors.

That extends to gaming platforms and the trend toward randomized loot boxes. It’s not “like gambling”. It is gambling. Arguably worse though as there’s no regulatory oversight.

Yes, ISP restrictions are a pain. If they only block outbound connections to port 25, you could receive directly, and use a smarthost (on a VPS or an email service) just to send. That's what I did when I ran it at home (my ISP didn't block, but the IP range was listed on Spamhaus PBL).

As for blacklists, that's not been my experience at all, but YMMV.
Gambling is tightly controlled and age-restricted in most countries, usually only available to those aged 18+.

Publishers have been using the argument that loot boxes aren't gambling in order to justify making them available to minors. As far as I'm aware, Belgiums' decision to ban them is more a recognition that they are, in fact, gambling, and therefore should not be available to minors.

Did none of this come up before marriage?

And I don't mean offense by this - I know nothing about your particular situation. But personally, I have trust issues, so I would try to probe my partner in every way possible before committing to marriage, especially in a country where I, the man, stand to lose far more if it doesn't work out.

Dunno depends on what you like, I liked Microsoft Expression Web and that seemed to be free but they discontinued it. I would love to see VS Code become a reasonable WYSIWYG editor for Markdown and HTML5 / CSS though. I have seen some Electron based editors for Bootstrap that are very good, trick is to do an HTML WYSIWYG editor you really do need a damn browser component to do it properly enough. I would also like to see Mozilla create something similar for Firefox Developer Edition, not just more JS editors.

I wonder if Google having a stronger presence and relationships in China, even if censored, would in fact be a better alternative than not having a presence in China. Another way the west can influence China and its direction is from the inside. It seems pretty clear that just avoiding the market due to morality isn’t really achieving anything. It just leaves a bigger void for local Chinese companies to fill. I’m in China now and I can tell you most people don’t really know or care about Google. Also, for the most part, your average person doesn’t even perceive the fact that their internet is restricted, and those that do, use VPNs anyways and have probably traveled abroad at some point. I’m beginning to think we should be injecting as much influence INTO China as possible if we want to have any ground later.

Time is money, as the saying goes.

When you're working a double shift to put food on the table, it's really hard to learn an extra skill set (e.g. programming) and make time to build up a resume on github (or whatever).

The cost isn't really located in the act of "buying" education.
The first step in being rational though is to realize that
choices are made under certain conditions, and are affected by them, not by some external agent that is totally neutral and impartial to the body's material conditions and social circumstances.

In other words, you "make" decisions only partially, and your choices are shaped by your status in life, before your conscious self can "chose".

Which games are you talking about that require you to open loot boxes in order to have fun in the game? The most popular games that I can think of with loot boxes, Hearthstone, Dota 2, Overwatch, CS:GO, PUBG, all either have strictly cosmetic items in the loot boxes, or have ways of getting the loot boxes free through gameplay. Saying that major developers are creating games that require you to buy loot boxes in order to have any fun in the game sounds like unnecessary hyperbole.

These two are kind of questionable; I'm not convinced that the personalisation gives me better search results and I use FB exclusively to communicate with people I know.

What they really give you in exchange for monetising you is that they do the sysadmin work for you. That's not nothing and for the average user is really quite a benefit. It's just that people vastly prefer a zero-cost to even a low-cost provider, because it's easy to get started and harder to switch.

This is actually untrue. The resultant daughter cannot mate with her own father, so she will mate with the next most suitable male. Furthermore, lions function in pride groups with territories. The daughters would need to break off into their own territories eventually, where they would need males. Furthermore, it’s pretty common for brothers to join together to be stronger than the lone strongest male. Your example makes no actual sense in lion society, muchess human society.

With my workflow, Emacs is the window manager. It's good at that, especially in text mode.

While terminal emulation / alternatives in Emacs have some rough corners, your all shell interactions are within Emacs buffers, which give powerful workflow advantages if you want to refer to previous results, or if you want to do some ad-hoc scripting.

Oh, don't get me wrong: I don't think its the best option, but the scenario first described in question was a homeless man with indefinite "free" time on their hands.

I personally work 2 full time jobs, I'm aware how scarce free time can get. I'm certainly not saying that everyone can do it on their own either. Just that cost is a very weak barrier to knowledge and that I agree you need to learn your way out of poverty.

I'm also a big proponent of basic income exactly for the reasons above, but I think the core idea is well founded. Hard work at a job (or two jobs) doesn't usually get you out of a shitty job, where as learning enough to get a better job does.
Well, they works best in IE because at that time there was IE only. Netscape navigator the other browser charge user, Firefox was just a beginning, as they want to take down IE because of their Navigator failure. It was great because it support some dynamic content.

That’s not true at all.

Video Games have been growing with such a strong trajectory that what consumers expect at a bare minimum in a new release is a large increase in risk for a game publisher.

For example Super Mario World was made by less than 20 people and sold for $69.99 at launch in 1990. That’s nearly $140 in today’s dollars.

Now take into account that a modern AAA game has at a minimum a 150 person staff, with the more content heavy games breaching 500 people; if your game is a flop your studio is dead despite having years of successes before. The margins at $60 don’t provide enough cushion so publishers are continuously scrambling for extra revenue they can get away with before consumer backlash.

The current model is very fragile and not entirely sustainable. It exploits the passions of recent graduates by giving them salaries 30-40% below market only because they’re working on games, with the work being not at all different than working on spreadsheet software except for having serious crunch-heavy deadlines. The attrition rate over 5 years is over 70%, which also leads to those who merely didn’t leave instead of the most qualified being in leadership positions which makes any changes to processes very difficult.
That's why Lisp has a main standard. Common Lisp.

Most other languages, derived from Lisp, are incompatible - like Ruby is incompatible with Perl. Thus Scheme is called Scheme and not Lexical Liwp - it's now a new language family - the family of Scheme dialects - which are grounded in RXRS reports as language standard.

It's good that there is only one/two Pythons - but Python competes with a zillion other scripting languages - or they compete with Python. And they are not compatible at all.

EA has publicly stated that there will not be lootboxes [1] or even DLCs [2]. I'm especially content about there not being DLCs that divide the player base so much that there are only enough players available to play the base maps.

If only they'd bring back a usable server browser, or (god forbid) release the server software for community game servers.

European Parliament votes for Article 13
I know the governments in India/China/US don’t like black money. After a certain point, an organization gets so big that it’s more profitable for those at the top to make sure everything is accounted for rather than letting all the little minions take their cut.

It would be beneficial for all of society if everything was accounted for, but only if everything was completely transparent, so that everyone can see what everyone is doing to hold each other accountable. Right now, we’re heading towards the worst system. The ones with the guns and bombs (power) get to see what all the masses are doing, but the masses don’t get to see what they are doing.
Whatever non-ordinary matter would be, E=mc² should apply as well.

That number is an upper bound, I don't believe any process is known to convert matter into a useable form of energy with reasonable efficiency and yield. Neither fusion nor fission count as they only "convert"/release a tiny fraction.
Well, it's antiquated. Back in the day the basics were expensive, so just keeping someone alive who wasn't working to pull his weight was basically unthinkable. If you fed people for nothing, back then, people would commit crimes just for the sake of being imprisoned.

But now that food is way cheaper, and so is clothing and shelter (not the real estate and finance component--just the construction), I think the rationale is out of date.
>People choose to acquire skills, or not.

>It's the whole point of all the education available to Americans, most of it free. Choose it, or not. Heck, you can even get an MIT education for free over the internet. It's up to you.

It's only free if your time is worthless.

Else you have opportunity costs. Which are not just monetary (e.g. needing to work long hours to put food on the table) but human too (e.g. tending to a sick relative or raising your kid).

One could still study after his shift flipping burgers for their "MIT education for free over the internet". But they'd still be left without an actual MIT degree, and even following that free education will be much harder than the average HN commenter whose parents splurged for their education.

A modern wealthy society that allows a bad-but-understandable move by a 16 year old girl to basically wreck her entire life, is a cruel society.

Also don't overlook that America is also supposed to be a country of redemption and second chances, and that we as a society derive strength from that. We foster risk-taking, and we don't throw away people who seriously screw up - but rather capitalize on the fact that those who have overcome serious mistakes often become formidable humans. This is one of the bright spots of American culture, lets not throw it away for the cheap thrill of standing in self-righteous judgment.

Just because you don’t need a passport doesn’t mean you can travel without unambiguously identifying yourself in Schengen. It amounts to the same thing. It doesn’t matter what identity paperwork you show if it includes your full name, dob, and a biometric photo.

Try boarding a plane for a domestic flight even inside of one Schengen country without these things and see how far you get.
Looks like somewhere along the lines my comment got interpreted as criticism rather than merely an observation, that wasn't my intent.

Anyway I'm not suggesting they find it elsewise. In fact as you rightfully pointed out finding bugs like this is incredibly hard.

However surely those code-generator bugs could have been spotted earlier? The reason they weren't was because they didn't cause any obviously wrong behaviour, which made it hard to find them using test, but as long as you pay attention you can still spot them (as evidenced by the fact that they were eventually fixed).

So if you're wondering how a bug like this might have slipped past their 'extensive test coverage', I felt it was important to point out that putting too much trust in those test is also a viable explanation. Not necessarily the right explanation, as I have no way of knowing the situation at SQLite, but a possible explanation.

The battle for control of the user. The pressure to create/preserve market share seems to be rising.

When e.g. you look how aggressively Google is trying to switch me to Chrome from my Firefox on all of their properties, a new low was set. But from my insider buddies at Google, that strategy is working well.

This here from MSFT dials it up another notch. With the anti-trust cases in the EU, they probably will be able to geo target this feature so that from the EU all will be fine and dandy, but the rest of the world will get scared into switching to Edge.
This is somewhat tangential, but I think there may have been an increase in the two-footed driving of automatics.

Here in the Netherlands I see most people going automatic when the are often in traffic jams and their knees start to complain from constantly having to push the clutch.
