I have no idea, but it's 'small' - though there are still two commercial vendors. I'd guess that Franz still sells into some corporate environments and into government/military/security/... Domains people usually don't hear about and end users might not even know that they are using Lisp. If a Lisp-based graph database powers some customer-relationship application at a telco, then nobody will know that it is Lisp. There is also the myth that some military commander won't let their Lisp Machine application go, because it's the only one that never crashed in their data center. Former Swissair had an expert system to improve seat allocation (IIRC), which they maintained for more than a decade - it's might even still be running in Lisp - nobody would know that it exists and how it works... There are also Lisp applications which monitor and control processes in chemical plants - for the end user it's not visible what this is written in.
>>I had really really had enough of my bosses

Its curious how these companies claim they are totally different or even unique but just turn out to be the very same.

>>I wasn't promoted when I figured I deserved it

This is again one of those large company political things. Year long promotion packet building, lobbying your work with promotion committees, getting a willing boss, and doing other routine political ground work to set you up for one.

Another big thing in these companies, every one joining has to go through a very arduous interviewing process, preparation for which can last weeks to months. So you have rockstars full in all teams, or at-least they like of themselves that way.

Ultimately regardless whatever people might say about surrounding yourself with smart people, its never generally a great idea to surround yourself with smart competitors in a pyramid hierarchy.
>If a student knows just a little bit of math, some key vocabulary and how to work their way around a calculator,

That's the stuff we want them to know. We want people who know more math and vocabulary to score higher. That's not 'gaming.' That's just the basic concept of testing.
Is The Stars and Stripes Forever a celebration of the US?

"The subject world shall Rome's dominion own,
And, prostrate, shall adore the nation of the gown.
An age is ripening in revolving fate
When Troy shall overturn the Grecian state,
And sweet revenge her conqu'ring sons shall call,
To crush the people that conspir'd her fall.
Then Caesar from the Julian stock shall rise,
Whose empire ocean, and whose fame the skies
Alone shall bound; whom, fraught with eastern spoils,
Our heav'n, the just reward of human toils,
Securely shall repay with rites divine;
And incense shall ascend before his sacred shrine.
Then dire debate and impious war shall cease,
And the stern age be soften'd into peace:
Then banish'd Faith shall once again return,
And Vestal fires in hallow'd temples burn;
And Remus with Quirinus shall sustain
The righteous laws, and fraud and force restrain.
Janus himself before his fane shall wait,
And keep the dreadful issues of his gate,
With bolts and iron bars: within remains
Imprison'd Fury, bound in brazen chains;
High on a trophy rais'd, of useless arms,
He sits, and threats the world with vain alarms.”

Editors of Virgil have pointed out that he grew up in badly unsettled times, with civil wars. A bit of imperial peace looked pretty good compared to that.
I served at Google as an SRE for 2+yrs. I burnt out and ragequit. Now I'm an SRE at a startup.

Worked at Amazon from 2010 - 2012. Left because I wanted to create something of my own. Have failed twice at since then, hopefully will succeed this time.
But here it's not nested so deep - I can actually answer here. :)

Thanks for pointing that out. I might get an Instax Wide. But I will try out at least one new formulation Polaroid pack in my 600 camera. I am curious about the colors. It's fun to not have only one formulation to choose from.

There's also the issue about lens quality. Some Polaroid cameras have very sharp glass lenses, while the Instax cameras have so-so optics.
The technical solution is easy and it is the same solution as when we make bank transactions online: one time pin codes.

If another company wants you to send payments to another bank account, then you mail back the received pin code to that other company via another known email account.

If the known email account responds that the pin is legit, then go ahead and change the payment details.

Also, before changing the payment details, do send a small amount first, have it confirmed with the other company and then proceed with the test of the payment.
Your comment got me curious: apparently Linux controls LEDs activity through /sys/class/led [0]

Being below replacement rate completely destroys the way our taxation and welfare systems are built.

Both rely on having more people contributing taxes than there are leeching off of them.

In the 1 child policy, 1 working person is suddenly responsible for the welfare of 2 retirees.

Welfare systems would collapse, unless it was rethought from ground up.
Interesting comment considering you've submitted several articles that were quite negative about Elon Musk.
This is silly. For one, the premise is wrong - Amazon almost certainly makes more money selling the $9 item than the $5 one.

The oz showing is most likely a fluke because one product has incomplete metadata (with hundreds of millions of listings, many have incomplete data).
I’d doubt that. Compound eyes have inferior resolution compared to mammal/reptile/bird eyes.

E.g. a compound eye with the angular resolution of your current eyes would be about the size of your head.

Edit: nope, even bigger:

>To see with a resolution comparable to our simple eyes, humans would require very large compound eyes, around 11 metres (36 ft) in radius.

> Protobuffers correspond to the data you want to send over the wire, which is often related but not identical to the actual data the application would like to work with.(...)

> Option 1 is clearly the "right" solution, but its untenable with protobuffers. The language isn't powerful enough to encode types that can perform double-duty as both wire and application formats. Which means you'd need to write a completely separate datatype, evolve it synchronously with the protobuffer, and explicitly write serialization code between the two.

I'd say, get used to this. This is exactly the same story you have with ORM/ActiveRecord. You either treat it as a different layer and write the translation code that's needed, or mix it with internal logic and pay the price of messy codebase later. The problem isn't protobuff(or ORM)-specific. It's just a consequence of the fact that your internal business model and the data you want to save/send are usually two different things.
You are mistaking words for information. This message has few dozens words but much more information :)

Well.... there are a few really nasty issues that come to mind, usually surrounding filesystems. Not too long ago, if you were using a certain version of systemd on certain laptops and did a rm -rf / (which as a new user is not hard to mistakenly do), not only would you lose your files, your hardware would become unusable as well.

(Systemd mounted an EFI partition read/write, and nuking / also nuked critical firmware information)

Some cursory googling reveals some other issues, but everything I can find is either very old (ex. https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/23/690) or reference utilities that an average user won't have (ex. https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-bcache/msg05290.html)

That said, given that Microsoft charges money for this, goes out of their way to render themselves not liable when their code breaks your shit, and doesn't test a use case that's not exactly uncommon, it's still unforgivable and not comparable to Linux.

I've been consulting for the past year while I build a few side-projects, hoping they'll turn into businesses.

I'm making more than I ever have before and this was only year one. My hope is the next few years the time spent marketing myself through blogs, podcasts, and some books I'm working on will pay off either to make raising money easier for a business idea or to solidify higher rates for consulting.
> Homer’s works are well constructed, but extemporized from, probably, many public performances.

I was listening to a greek history podcast where it was suggested that the performance of Homer's works wasn't for entertainment, per se, but as part of public religious rituals, and that the formulaic aspects of it (the wine-dark sea) are similar to the kinds of ritualistic repetitions you get see in the catholic mass for example (amen, peace be with you, etc). The catalogue of ships makes more sense if you think of it as an oft repeated public ritual that was striving for inclusion for audiences across the greek world. They also suggested that it wasn't often performed all at once, but different sections of it would mark different special occasions-- again, similar to the way the bible is used in Mass. I'm not at all a greek history expert, but it was interesting.
> a lot of books are tripe worse than TV shows and video games

I've never been a fan of this line of thinking. There are plenty of people who use critical thinking skills and participate in mentally stimulating activities throughout the day. When it's over, they just want to relax. So they watch shows like Family Guy, read basic action novels, or play Grand Theft Auto for an hour or two.

Why does everything have to be in pursuit of knowledge or something that contributes to a community?
Why do bad things happen to good fruit? I wish something would wipe out the red delicious apple.
In a sense, writing a whole book about your decision to delete some social media accounts is just as bad as social media. The whole world doesn't need to know about every mundane detail about your life. You can do things and not feel inclined to tell everyone about it.
Tens of thousands of miles? The planet's a little less than 8000 miles in diameter. As for "a few dozen meters", the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory was 2.1 kilometres down (at the nominal 6800 foot level in the old Creighton Mine).
I didn't find anything the author wrote about to be all that scary or bothersome. First, I think the author is a bit overly paranoid as to what ML actually is accomplishing here, but second, all stores play games with product placement and how they show prices. My local grocery store carries two brands of milk, one costing between $3.70 and $4.50 per gallon (depending on the day) always placed at eye level and the other costing a max of $2.15 always placed on the bottom shelf. Both are regular whole milk, the lower priced one often with the better sellby date. But they put the more expensive one that will go bad faster at eye level. The thing is, this is done by all stores on all products. Amazon is no different.
Something that comes up in these discussions is the concept of “company time”.

Company resources is clear cut, but what is company time for a salaried employee? How does that change with being a remote employee?

I’ve moved to a strategic product role and honestly work less than an hour a day on average and seldom go into the office. If I decide to work on a side project does that restrict me from git commits between 8-5?
Bloomberg already use the story in a wrong way which the original source didn't agree. But let's go deeper:

1. In first report, Bloomberg have strong specific claims: China already hacked the server used in some big companies. it's PLA who did the tampering. They have evidences/sources

2. In second report they provide weak evidence that not related to the strong claims: It's a general security issue all over the industry, A lot of hardware could be tampered, etc,etc. Although maybe exaggerated I believe it's true.

So talking about general security risk is already shifting the focus. If there's a 2nd report, it should be address the conflicts of the denial from Apple and Amazon which cause the dispute, not talking about some thing that can easily reach consensus and close related to the real controversial topic. If they want to talk general security issue, they should make it clear and better in separate time. By putting those 2 different things together, it makes an impression to average readers that 2nd part can support the 1st part. Which seems to me it’s a dishonest practise.
While this is probably a good move, the claim that they can detect the generall class of "bullying" is laughable. Bullying is a much more complex issue than just name calling. Name calling is probably one of the easier forms of bullying to deal with as it's obvious and visible.
Ex-Googler here. I was a SWE L4 and left after four years in frustration with the promotion process (https://mtlynch.io/why-i-quit-google/).

Since then, I:

* Moved out of my $3.3k/mo Manhattan apartment and bought a home for $200k in Western Massachusetts. Paid in cash so I no longer have to pay rent/mortgage. I feel like my time is much less "metered" now because my annual living expenses are so low, I can pursue things for fun without worrying about how much it's costing me in terms of time.

* Attempted to build a startup on top of a distributed storage cryptocurrency (https://blog.spaceduck.io/). Didn't work because the underlying platform wasn't mature enough yet, so it was more expensive and less reliable than centralized solutions.

* Attempted to build a business with a ML-powered recipe ingredient parsing service. Found out recipe apps aren't really willing to pay for it. (https://mtlynch.io/shipping-too-late/)

* Currently working on toy projects to sharpen my web development skills because I've found that part of my skillset to be a bottleneck with my previous projects.

i think the macros make life easier, and if well written make the code more maintainable by simplifying the code you're encountering most of the time.

for me the "rope" was the ridiculous complexity of things like the "loop" macro. Coming from a newb (to CL) perspective and wondering "how do i use this thing" ... ugh you could probably write a small book on all the different ways to use that thing. This type of stuff was littered through the language. Instead of small focused functions that were really self explanatory, but limited in capability, you have things that are way too ... i dunno "configurable"? "modifiable"? There were also thinks akin to "method overloading" but done by a drunk person seeing how many "useful" ways they could call this one function.

The core language documentation is extraordinary. Probably better than any language out there.... but I moved on to Chicken Scheme for my personal work. Life was much better afterwards.
It's also pretty easy to contribute to FOSS projects on your own time, as long as you're OK with Google being the owner of your contributions (I personally don't care since it's open source licensed anyway). https://opensource.google.com/docs/patching/ is an almost fully public version of the process Googlers have to follow to contribute stuff to open source projects.

Disclaimer: works at Google, maintains some FOSS code in my own time, both under my own copyright for some projects and under Google's copyright for others.

Give me a tree navigation. Oh, it's not supported? Now, in order to implement it, I have to figure nodes/graphql/webpack/fragments (I know the tech, but it it's _used_) to get a solution that I could whip up myself in 30 minutes if the tooling and techstach wasn't bogging me down.

There is a hidden cost to large peices of software with high ceremony. Most people ignore it because of the initial speed you get in setting up the project, but fail to realize the downstream time that will be wasted dancing with these large hammers.
The article mentions it will "identify bullying tactics such as comparing, ranking and rating images and captions, such as a split-screen image in which a person is compared to someone else in a negative way."

It's hardly a general purpose bullying-detector.

I agree with you. It is ok to be angry, but anger does not excuse everything person does and anger does not mean that I am in the right.

I would also add that there are many people who are not bullies and still may do something bully-like without realizing it. I know few people like that - somehow they are not good at seeing your reaction the way others do and are bad at predicting it. With them, if you just let it be, then it get worst. If you openly tell them to stop and explain how it hurts those around, then it gets better.

Even neurotypical people including me can do hurtful things without realizing. Feedback and communication helps.
Federated communities would be neat and basically are how the "real world" already interconnects, socially speaking. I don't think that's exclusive of what I had in mind.

But you have to actually have the communities before you can do the federation (this is also how it works in the offline world — it's not like people design interoperability protocols and THEN found villages).

Graal does, but the JavaScript engine does not. And the main thing the commercial edition of Graal gives is just faster performance. You can run GraalJS without the commercial edition and even without Graal at all! (it acts as an interpreter, in that case).

Languages these days cannot expect to be financially sustainable in and of themselves as it only incentivizes non-free actions against its users/developers

That's a circular argument. "Languages can't expect to be free because that'd require charging for something". Well, yes, by its nature that requires charging users for something.

I also wonder how you're defining "language" here. It seems to be pretty expansive. Java has a free top of class virtual machine, free compilers, free IDEs, free frameworks and so on. Many companies also sell enhanced versions of some of these things but that doesn't make the free versions less free.

It might seem impractical to expect free language/runtime development paid by the stewards and with no cost on the developers, but it's clearly the only way to keep the ecosystem thriving sans perverse incentives.

I actually have come to disagree with this over time, I see it as the other way around. If there's no commercial model, that's when the perverse incentives start. In the vacuum left by the obvious incentive of pleasing your customers, steps various perverse and self-destructive incentives instead, like "make a name for myself as someone very clever" or "do as little work as I can whilst not getting fired" or "experiment with fun research topics that probably won't amount to much".

Profit is ultimately just a signal that your users really do value what you're making. Without that signal things get crazy really fast. If this wasn't the case then academic languages would constantly smash commercially developed languages, but the most popular languages are generally the ones developed by companies who are focused - at least to some extent - on adoption. So not only do I not begrudge firms making commercially enhanced versions of things like programming tools, I have come to welcome it, because I associate a desire for profit with hard-headed, pragmatic and ultimately beneficial decision making.
I saw some articles that were blaming someone on the station for making the hole. Basically blaming an American in an attempted sabotage.

Yes, Lektor is great. The outstanding features are the admin interface which allows even non-technical people to create and edit content, and the content models which allow to work nicely with structured data.

For example, in the past I have built a multilingual media database with Lektor, where items could be, say, books or movies, and depending on the content type I could enter a "number of pages" (int) or "duration" (time) or "author" (selection from a list of "person"-typed contents), and the admin interface would be auto-generated. I haven't seen a similar functionality in other SSGs.
