Well for one as soon as a counter example to what they nominally are complaining about comes up they suddenly break out in "no not like that". If they can never be pleased when their nominal reasons are satisfied and/or their web of objections are inconsistent it is clear something else is at play and that something else is usually racism.

Look at Harvard and their shifting metrics for instance among others. At first the standardized tests were there for quality nominally for "the right people" for instance including deliberate cultural bias to the country club set as a shibboleth - even the most well read student in the "classics curriculum" wouldn't really know small sailcraft vocabulary and practical nautical backgrounds long moved onto motorboats. Then Jews started doing too good on them and they started adding other criteria like being "well rounded".

For instance, wealthy asians move in and they now complain about it being "unaffordable" despite previous issues with affordable housing. I have heard about California public transit upgrades facing resistance with obvious dogwhistle opposition about how train lines will bring in crime. When a train is a goddamn terrible escape vehicle given its linearity and predictability even without it featuring its own police force. Meanwhile and anyone with a truck and crowbar can reach and burglarize and moving truck rentals are both cheap and good camouflage.

Actually piracy is a particular kind of theft. Piracy is robbery on the high seas. Robbery is a type of theft that takes place in conjunction with violence, force, and intimidation.

Nothing that happens on land is piracy, so I'm not sure why it comes up so often in these discussions.
There are a fair number of tasks that can stress the CPU for short periods of time. But If I can turn an occasional 10 second task into a 3 second task, that is where a CPU that can throttle up temporarily really helps (things like generating crypto keys, or some short-burst javascript on some web sites).

But for video transcoding that may take 3 hours, that's something I would do on a remote server anyway.

> I find many common lisp users' attitude towards scheme condescending.

Are you familiar with the Blub Paradox[0]? I contend that the things you dislike about Common Lisp or don't mind about Scheme having or not having are precisely the things which make Lisp better for real-world systems.

My opinion — a professional, educated & considered opinion, but an opinion nonetheless — is that Scheme is simply not suitable for large-systems work, and that all attempts to take a Scheme core and make it suitable founder on the shoals of Greenspun's Tenth. The Scheme maintainers agree, because in R6RS they tried to build a more capable language. The Scheme community agrees, because it rebelled against R5RS, deeming a more capable Scheme an un-Scheme-like Scheme.

I like Scheme. It's a pretty, elegant language, with an exciting model. But the language as it exists simply isn't ready for systems work, and (due to its underlying philosophy) probably never will be. That's not a bad thing. Scheme is great for what it is. It's great for teaching; great for reasoning about computation; great for learning evaluators & compilers. But it isn't great for building systems like an OS, emacs, a distribution, a package manager, an init system or a window manager — and the effort spent working on making its inadequacies tolerable could instead be spent on implementing features in a more-than-adequate language.

Also, Lisp doesn't have portable networking. That's one of its warts (I did say it has them — and plenty of them! Lisp is not perfect!). It does have portable streams (and I think all implementations make sockets available as streams), but Scheme's ports are analogous.

Neither is CFFI standarised.

Solid core is generally for premise wiring (PVC jacketed in walls, PTFE-jacketed through ducts); stranded is typically for patch cables. If you try like the first place I worked at in the mid-90's trying to put stranded ends on solid-core wire, breaking of tools and unreliable cables will make.

There's cheapo Chinese cable tester kits on eBay, AliBaba and Amazon that do a good-enough impedance at GbE spectrum testing to not have to spring for a Fluke "will-survive-nuclear-winter" "official" tester. Backfilling connectors with epoxy is another idea to avoid corrosion... as long as it doesn't affect the impedance or dielectric values much. No-snag boots, axial aligned label zipties are also a big help. Barcode label and floorplan everything.

Finally, always test every cable with iperf3 (two laptops or one laptop w two ethernet ports) and reject for reworking/replacment any cable with abnormal latency or bandwidth figures.

Does someone has already tried to code on an AlphaSmart?
I suppose it's a little like using ed.

I would be happy to have a distraction-free device to focus on my code. But I am not sure the screen is large enough to really work on it.
Yes, it would've been prudent to do so. Imagine the deep regret I would've felt if it didn't work out ok.
The recommendations look like important steps, especially the concept of a system that alerts pilots to runway surface non-alignment. I have to wonder, though, does it always take a close call like this (or worse) to bring up such a proposal? Does the NTSB also study otherwise safe flights to identify risks in pilot, tower, or ground crew human factors and make proactive recommendations?
It is only expensive if you make it expensive, car mechanics are not that complicated. It is only expensive if you either buy expensive parts or have somebody else do it for you because it takes time and they are taking on the liability of any modifications they did along with licensing requirements to do such things commercially.
I did a look at those EZ-RJ45 ends when another replied about them in this thread and notice that they are rated for solid or stranded, which I think would help. They look pretty good.

I've installed a few (and have a few more to install) of the Ubiquiti cameras, and I've been using keystone at the end and then patch cables. That has worked well, but I'd be tempted to just crimp the outside end. I'd have to see how the shielding works with the crimping, that gear is all on shielded cable per spec. Shielded plenum rated cable is kinda spendy...
Hmmm, not sure I recall. Mind linking back to the conversation? Point is, we don't choose what domains are blocked or not, so there is nothing we can do except ship with a default whitelist. But we're not going to do that either, if we were to start doing that... what's to say we wouldn't whitelist something more nefarious.

It's safest for us, and our reputation, to stay out of the finer points of the actual blocked/not domains and instead defer to individual list maintainers who make that their business.
Depends what's your definition of the future. Personally, I have no doubt that it'll soon be connected inside our brain so "monitors" will be useless.. anything will be a "monitor" if that's what you want it to be. But it'll be much cooler than that.. I.e. if you're thinking about "What will be the weather tomorrow?", the whole sky could start "virtually raining" to show it to you with AR. It's scary and exciting at the same time.

On a related note, if you’re interested in clockmaking, the amazing YouTuber ClickSpring has an entire series where he builds a beautiful clock from scratch.
The two ideas aren't mutually exclusive. There is then the audience that knows it is all bollocks from the start, many of whom treat it as a massive in-joke that they can take part in, rather than an actual attempt at lying, which wouldn't be the case if the lying was any good.
Or how about users take some ownership of their actions and educate themselves on how "free" services are making their money.

If you don't like Google's tracking practices: don't use Google products. If you're okay with them, then keep using Google products. Free minds; free people; associating with each other freely.

Washington should be weary of regulations like GDPR on principle. Plus I doubt GDPR would have passed if Google, Facebook, and Twitter were, say, French. GDPR was only passed because the companies they were "targeting" (and they were targeting a specific set of companies let's please be real) were foreign.
What is an accelerator or a funding group for whom the portfolio is not following that power law? For example one where the top 20 companies each comprise say appx 2% of the portfolio?
Are you sure you aren't missing the bigger picture here?

All while you "give grants to promote your principles, finance populace-educating groups, fund pro-privacy thinktanks/projects/foundations, etc." there will be other corporations and interest groups who spend time and money on "heavy-handed government internet intervention" that will ultimately affect you.

At the end of the day, what you can do or not revolves around politics and policy; not economic markets. This includes, in case this needs reminding, property rights that make market dynamics possible to begin with.

In truth, .gov >> .com, and by pretending it is otherwise - and acting like it is - you let yourself and your country (which I presume is the US) be manipulated by those who know better and put their $$$ towards whatever their goals are.

the top 10% of companies make up the overwhelming majority of their portfolio. So they go for moonshots

This is just a power law thing and what would be expected with any large group of companies.

Success isn't linear or a bell curve, people seem to understand those two distributions rather well power law distributions rather poorly.
>> we can vote the government out

What do you think is more likely to happen? Companies losing market share because people stop spending money with them? Or government being voted out with meaningful change coming in to replace it?
This could be really useful for game development!

Certain kinds of networked games are built as a model, deterministically updated by clock ticks and commands from the server, and a view layer on top of that. And even model-level objects often monitor each other for changes. Seems like a perfect fit.

Game objects often have graph-like (not tree-like) dependencies though. E.g. two characters may want to move towards each other, creating a pointer cycle. Ideally I'd want one to be "magically" updated if the other disappears or changes state. I wonder if Skip has a good answer there, or if a good language-level answer is even theoretically possible.

This article makes me wonder what planet I'm on.

" I’ve seen bright seniors in college trying to raise money for pre-product startups at a $10M pre-money valuation. "

Wat?

Raising money is hard and it's not easy to get capital.
We’re more expensive than Bubble for individuals, but for teams we are pretty competitive I think.

Florida is testing driverless school shuttles – what could go wrong?
I think this depends on which crimper you use. I used a cheapo crimper from China I bought off Amazon (I wasn't doing enough terminations to justify Platinum Tools' top of the line crimper which cost more than 2x what I paid) and it was leaving maybe a mm or less of wire hanging off, because of the crappy tolerances.

On the other hand, I saw some videos on Youtube of people using other cheap crimpers, and they were getting clean flush cuts. Luck of the draw is a big thing when you get the cheaper tools.

Originally I thought that 1mm or less was preventing my plugs from seating fully but on further inspection I found that the locking lever on my plugs weren't consistently locking. I made the mistake of not using the matching Platinum Tools strain relief boots for my plugs, which actually have a piece of plastic that pushes the locking lever up a little more to ensure a more secure mating between the plug and port.
I've been hurt myself, I might die, and riding is still, without a doubt, worth it. What are you preserving your life for, anyway? For me, motorcycle riding is a significant source of joy. If I gave it up, sure, I might live a longer life, but I wouldn't enjoy it as much.
Ask HN: What would you expect to see in a programming language website?
I am creating a website template for a programming language.

What features or characteristics do you expect to see in a programming language site? Are there sites you think make good examples from an information point of view?

What features outside the core language documentation are useful? For example: success stories, who's using the language, case studies, upcoming events, links to talks, articles etc.

What about the visual design? I feel visual design is important, but that doesn't mean a heavy, bloated site or one which is visually overload. Something simple but pleasant.

Thoughts appreciated :-)

It shows that the government believes some principles should be above making a quick buck.

Obviously I'm talking about private investment, not public funding.

Of course these companies use information obtained through public research, they're supposed to, because there's a long process from research to an approved product, which is what the research institutions do not do. Public and private research goes hand in hand, just like in other industries. The study quotes a hundred billion in public funding over six years, compare that to private R&D budgets of well over 50 billion per year:

YC does not invest in multiple competitors 'in the hopes that one will pan out'. They just don't use competition as an exclusionary criterea like many VCs do. They invest in founders first and ideas second. When the idea is a secondary metric, inevitably you end up with competitors. Sometimes they even end up with competitors anyway, just because the founders pivot.

Pointing out a grammatical error, which appears in both your comment and the github page you linked to. The github page actually has a number of typos, and needs a little bit more proofreading and perhaps some proper English in some places.

As a call-to-action, the readme should present with polished grammar and a respectable tone for the author's voice.</grammarnazi>

An easily accessible starting point, to get a feel for what "tone" means, check out the Economist's style guide, which gives authors and columnists a set of editorial guidelines for how articles should sound, when a reader picks up their weekly copy of the magazine:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/303640.The_Economist_Sty...

You'll notice the Economist tries to establish a homogenized voice, so that many writers may contribute, but all material feels like it's written by the same person, such that, without bylines, The Economist itself becomes a collectivized authorship, as a sort of writer's uniform.

Seems like such an idea might be relevant to your general concept.

No, it is the opposite. The return on investment is measured by the value of the business.

They know. There’s nothing they can do about it. Even as someone who wants to protect their own privacy it’s impossible without being in a cave or updating your habits every week. Use Linux and duck duck go and don’t use any social media and don’t have a phone and only buy 15 year old TVs and late model cars, don’t use credit cards.

Blaming internet users for not protecting their privacy indicates that one has no idea how anything works, or they make their money off of ads.
