But this is simply wrong, at least partly. Yes, your criticisms of many of these tech founders and youth fetishism in general are right in certain ways but these existing companies help millions of people all the time.

Facebook is used for a lot of vapid social media posing, but it also serves as a platform for millions of social protest and communication movements worldwide. The same for twitter (possibly even more). I've seen both used amazingly well by people at a grassroots level where I live to communicate news that the government and organized crime try to censor in normal media with deadly violence.

Amazon is considered a vast exploiter of cheap labor and a crusher of "mom&pop" businesses, but it also frees millions of people to instantly sell their offerings online, while offering honestly useful savings and product access to millions of others.

And as for Google, besides all the serious and real criticisms of it, there are numerous benefits too, so many of such a scale that we almost seem to take them for granted as part of the daily tech background, until we really pause to consider what that company has done for access to information at zero cost on a global scale.

Tech founders of all kinds and especially the young tech founders of the giants have already helped millions and possibly billions of people all over the world. That they became billionaires and in some cases narcissistic snoops in the process doesn't eliminate what their technologies have done to benefit the world.
I have a bunch of Hue devices myself, but I wouldn't exactly call it "cheap" considering how much the colored bulbs cost. You can build your own with a cheap Arduino clone and some addressable RGB LEDs for well under $20.

In addition, Hue Sync is kinda different. To me a proper ambilight goes around the edge of a display to cast light on a wall with a decent resolution (20ish or more LEDs), while Sync is more for a few bulbs and synchronizing the room lights. You can get kind of a similar effect with Sync and a couple bulbs behind the screen but it's just not as impressive.
Phaeton is a credible origin for starting-something-you-can't-stop stories but I think Sorcerer's Apprentice has a further facet, where the process that you start is autonomous to some degree and causes problems by doing exactly what you told it. (In the case of the undead tiger it was being more of a live tiger than Sañjīva expected.)
Nobel laureates are "fringe (read that pseudoscience) speculators"?
"Elon Musk was forcibly removed as Tesla's chairman. That was the real punishment. "

Supporting parent comments, it really wasn't. Poor people often get fines that wipe out most of their money, sometimes cost them jobs, and/or get jail time for low-value crimes. People like Musk get a fine that's a tiny percentage of they and their companies' worth with usually no jail time. I've always been in favor of jailing executives and/or board members for their part in crimes. Even if it's "make the numbers go up or else without giving me details." Oh no, we already know that's how most dodge responsibility. I think companies that do way better on talking to employees and accountability already show it could be done better. And then there's stuff like Undercover Boss showing a lot of problems can be spotted with one, undercover visit. Not even necessarily by CEO.
It's not necessary optimizing for junior developers. When properly implemented, language hand-holding is a tool for "better" programmers as well. I find that my brain capacity is limited, and the more I can focus it on issues that are productive rather than eg. tracking the liveness status of my data or potential system-wide effects messing with it, the more useful work I can perform.

Not to mention working together with more junior people, in which case it will be you doing the hand-holding instead, because the tools don't

Thanks for the response, but I don't think this is the same functionality. Keywords are really useful for services that get searched sparingly. I shouldn't need to use a keyword for my default search.

What I'm looking to do is just be able to type text into the address/search bar and have it show up on a search engine with my custom parameters. I know I can add a keyword, but that's an extra prefix I need to type every time to work around something that shouldn't be an issue in the first place.

Delightful.

I think you get right to the reason for the distinction in language. The two things weren't unified in your conception until you were inside a cloud, which until recently was impossible except by climbing to high altitudes. Fogs and clouds are usually experienced in very different ways, so it seems natural to me that people came up with different words for them.
While you're right that $30K isn't hugely profitable, his growth curve looks good, especially at the very end. He could probably either reduce his focus and cash $1300 in profit extra a month or continue and it appears that his product could keep trending up for a while. That's a really sweet position to be in IMHO

There was no income tax for over a third of United States history.

Income tax is immoral for it penalizes lower wage earners proportionally far greater than those generating higher amounts. For an individual spending 70% on living costs and 15% in direct income tax (not counting sales tax, telecommunications fees, etc) there is 15% left over out of $50,000 per year - $7,500 free. For someone in the top tax bracket of perhaps, those numbers may be 25% living costs and 40% taxes; out of $450,000 that leaves $157,500 free - far greater flexibility.

Again, income taxes harm lower income levels far more than higher. You can raise tax rates but then the higher earners simply leave due to their greater flexibility - yet again leaving lower income earners worse off.

It also funds destructive policies that effectively cannot be shut down without reporting to extreme measures. Government never scales back willingly.

Seek the truth of how reality works by observing rather than trying to force it to fit a perspective; you'll find things are very different than you expected.
Things I see...

1. Mac OS apparently has a conflicting definition of "isnumber", as "__DARWIN_CTYPE_TOP_inline int isnumber(int _c)" in "/usr/include/ctype.h:323". Thanks, Mac OS. So I'm running this on another machine of mine.

2. My usual test: iteration expressed as anonymous recursion, which should be possible to run in constant space:

pi@raspberrypi:~/LISP $ echo '
((lambda (f) (f f 10 0))
(lambda (f n tt)
(cond ((equal? n 0) tt)
(#t (f f (- n 1) (+ n tt))))))' | ./komplott
55
pi@raspberrypi:~/LISP $ echo '
((lambda (f) (f f 100 0))
(lambda (f n tt)
(cond ((equal? n 0) tt)
(#t (f f (- n 1) (+ n tt))))))' | ./komplott
5050
pi@raspberrypi:~/LISP $ echo '
((lambda (f) (f f 1000 0))
(lambda (f n tt)
(cond ((equal? n 0) tt)
(#t (f f (- n 1) (+ n tt))))))' | ./komplott
Out of memory
Aborted

I noticed from the source that eval did recursive calls to itself. I expected that to be its bane, but I'm surprised it hit an OOM rather than a stack overflow... It looks like, in lisp_eval's "apply" case, it'll call gc_protect on all the relevant stuff, then only do gc_pop after everything returns; perhaps that's why.

In the absence of other looping constructs, looping by tail recursion seems the best available option, and therefore an important usage to support. Implementing that, along with a moving GC, in a language that doesn't do its own tail call elimination is a pain.
> Zig has awesome metaprogramming support

I'm not sure how to reconcile this statement with the following claim from the linked article: "Zig has no macros and no metaprogramming yet still is powerful enough to express complex programs in a clear, non-repetitive way." Not only does it claim that Zig has no metaprogramming, it suggests that it sees metaprogramming as undesirable.
Sure, it's different with older kids, that's why I said our solution doesn't work for everyone. But I'm pretty sure that most people could find a way to live with less money.

But if you feel that reducing your spending means living in poverty, then maybe it's not for you, and you really need to leave entrepreneurship to other people.

Tech facts vs. myths: Jamal Khashoggi’s Apple Watch a key witness in his murder
It's not so much the decoding and memory as it is that the timing of the HDMI signal waveform at 4K/60fps is a bit too fast to read any portion of with an affordable FPGA. There are FPGAs with specialized DSP hardware that can probably do it, but the ones I know of require pricey IP core licenses and the chips themselves aren't terribly affordable.

That's kinda what I'm asking about here, if there is a something like a specialized chip that can be used to capture single frames from an HDMI stream to act as a buffer, because yeah obviously you don't need most of the data and you only really need to update at a few Hz.

The other option I've thought of is a chip to downsample the signal, as there are plenty of cheap FPGAs or even micros that can handle resolutions below 1080p. Again, I'm pretty sure such chips exist but I don't really know of them because this is just something I am interested in for fun.
The base language interpreter written in C is a lisp-1, and it’s not even close to a full scheme implementation but it is a subset of scheme.

Employment Opportunities for Java Developer in IT
Introduction
Business operations are always defined as the essential process within the organization that does determine the move of achieving the defining goals. Some business got a lot of hardship in the management of the operations as well as collecting of data that is meant for defining the decision making the process for the company. It was underlined that network within the business defined the efficiency and effectiveness of operations, and it was until the realization of the global network that things were made such simple and easy. The automation of these processes does require the support of the specific integrated development environment and framework that will deliver appropriate applications to meet the objective.
The dot net technology came in and had been growing tremendous since the current world is depending only on the online applications. Governments are heavily investing in the online application to reduce the cost of running their nations.

You can create your own desktop files if you like and shove them in ~/.local/share/applications if you want the app to show up when you list apps instead of binaries.

Example when you launch i3-dmenu-desktop instead of dmenu_run.

As an aside I suggest you check out rofi. Its a better looking, more featureful alternative to dmenu. Compared to dmenu it offers

-Themes

-The option to show as a window in the middle of the screen or dmenu style at the bottom/top

-Optional icons

-slightly faster at showing apps vs binaries compared to i3-dmenu-desktop

-Configurable hotkeys

-The ability to launch a typed command in a terminal with a hotkey

-The ability to launch a typed command as is or complete from a history much like a shell history. Example I have it set to run as is with Enter or complete first choice for history with control+Enter

-A built in tool to list/switch windows, select from a list of applications like i3-dmenu-desktop, list available ssh connections

It might be hard for someone who writes Rust every day to see it, but it has a lot of special characters compared to many languages.

It also has less or equal amounts compared to other languages, of course, but I dislike that aspect of those languages too :)

Compare these two listings:

http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Stack#Simple_implementation

http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Stack#Nim

You can see directly that Rust has a lot more there. Obviously Nim skips out on braces so that's a gimme, but I don't really count block braces when I'm talking about special characters. It's more stuff like Option<&'a Frame<T>> or &'a mut T or ->

Diary:

- Python script that fetches the diary template and fills it with information like location
- With x-callback-url it is sent to drafts
- in drafts I can edit the rest and have an action to upload it to working copy

In drafts the action Call:
With x-callback-url open pythonista and parse the text for a telephone number. Then that's sent to the call program

Drafts Meeting notes:
Launch python script. Scripts get the template from working copy and fills it with date and through a popup a Title. Want to change that so you can select the meeting from the calendar and have it filled in.
Then sends it back to drafts.

I have a vacation list drafts pulls from working copy.

In drafts I have shortcuts to add that draft to due, Things or mail/whatsapp it.

The drafts forums and resource directory are a good starting point. Once you add Pythonsita all bets are off it becomes the most versatile app on the phone. Working copy is nice to have so you don't have to deal with templates in java script code or with tags in draft itself.

Ask HN: How come there are no durable laptops anymore?
In the last years the desktop market has become more or less stable. Mainboard manufacturers are competing these days on making the most durable and high quality boards with components like Anti-Sulfur Resistors design, Surge LAN Protection, Japanese made capacitors and more.
But contrary to this trend the build quality of PC laptops has declined tremoundlesy in terms of components quality. You can find quality motherboards or capacitors and it seems that there will be a demand for it in the market.

I don't speak Japanese, so I'm not really sure what your complaint is.

I think you are complaining about the literal translation of what is supposed to be a metaphor. I see your point, but I'm not sure that is as big a problem as you imply.

Because you can't expect non-techies to manage their own crap beyond an app and do their own devops managing their own servers. And most techies do not want to manage yet another server anyway.

The furthest you could go is something like an app that reads data on the free icloud / google drive allotment they have. Then you'll have to deal with instances of losing their password / changing their broken devices / etc and all the lock out situations that happen.

You start to say fuck it and provide your own backend and now you're back at status quo.

Bell Labs existed in large part because AT&T was trying to justify its monopoly to fend off antitrust regulators.

It was a pretty unique organization in time and space, and not at all typical of "corporations."
No, it's very likely about _Generic. <tgmath.h> was added to C99 in an attempt to steal Fortran mindshare, ie making numerics and scientific computing less cumbersome (the same is true for other features, eg complex numbers or restrict). But in C99, it was still special-cased. The next standard C11 introduced _Generic so people could create their own type-generic interfaces.
