WINAMP, WINamp, winamp... it really...

Still works. Winamp is still my main music player (with classic skin, of course). I run it through Wine on Fedora 28. Some things cause crashes, but the only things I really care about are MilkDrop, the media library, and playlists and they all work fine. I've never been able to find something that comes close to MilkDrop.

Here are my installation instructions (after installing Wine) although I haven't tried them fresh in a few years (Fedora and Wine upgrades haven't screwed anything up):

$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks
$ chmod +x winetricks
$ ./winetricks -q directmusic directplay directx9 gdiplus ie8 mfc42 wmp10 windowmanagerdecorated=n
$ ./winetricks winamp
Launch Winamp
To get rid of some weird font issues: Right click Winamp > Options > Preferences... > General Preferences > Playlist > select Use font: MS Sans Serif
To fix bug https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12060: Winamp > Options > Preferences... > Plug-ins > Visualization > MilkDrop v2.25c > Configure > WINDOWED settings > Uncheck Integrate with winamp skin
Ultimately it has to do with how close political ties are maintained. After all it's more concerning if a family member whom you share living space with suddenly becomes unpredictable or violent as opposed to a neighbour 3 houses down the street.

> There seems to be a connection between scaling a project regarding developer numbers and programming language "power". Having a smaller, shared vocabulary seems to greatly outweigh programming language "power" as the number of programmers goes up greatly.

That goes against evidence from current enterprise software experience. The Java eco-system has the absolute largest programming vocabulary ever (J2EE, JEE, ...) and is widely used.

AT&T/Lucent once wrote the software for a telephony switch in Lisp - I think the project ran over a decade and created more than one generation of working/shipping hard&software. The team was easily 100+ people. I heard a talk of the responsible manager years ago. They wrote basically the same functionality as a ten times larger C++ project and the Lisp team lead was extremely satisfied with what they wrote.

AT&T Management favored the C++ project for mostly non-technical reasons - C++ being an 'industry language' with a larger supply of developers. Not surprising for AT&T - Ericsson made a similar decision at some point in time with their (later lifted) 'Erlang ban'.
Precisely, and we already have tools at our disposal for that which also work very well in the news agency example (albeit internally): Wiki and Git. Blockchain adds nothing, and has disadvantages of wasting resources.

The only thing the Blockchain has proven to be useful for is cons in the form of speculation, akin to Ponzi scheme. I've seen it argued that it allows people to move away cheaply from bad currencies. Companies like PayPal and Stripe allow for the same already, and they use real currencies.
Is utterly funny to read people's opinions bashing against blockchain technology and when asked about a simple definition they fail to mention the use of consensus protocols which was, already 10 years ago, the huge innovation that lead to this revolution.
We had a lot of coverage of the Myanmar genocide facilitated by Facebook and the comments were always very negative against Facebook here. You won't find much sympathy of the company on HN.
You cant' expect some age limits will anyhow fix this. Plenty of amoral hawkish young people out there.

In same vein, older people tend to have more clear view on whats really important in life, it ain't got anything to do with fast cars, flashy fashion or being popular on instagram. If they have kids and grandkids, they will be at least as concerned as younger should be.
>Funny how the music business in general can be such a bunch of Luddites. Player pianos, the phonograph, the Hammond organ, magnetic tape, synthesizers, digital recording... all of them were going to just kill music.

Ever heard of the Spotify Top 20?

Those technical advances did eventually kill music (depending on one's point of view of what music should be, which for none of those musicians included Nicky Minaj and MIDI-orchestration -- they meant live music played as opposed to sequenced or reproduced).
Whilst the studio is dead, there are rumors of remastered C&C(s) on the horizon from EA.

Surely the whole point of a long-lived branch is to contain stuff that's not in master - ie things that are being deliberately kept out of it?
You can't likely know which IP is fresh until you test it with a certain volume and check for deliverability.

The costs for delivery service aren't really high, not sure what the point of sending it all by yourself.

You should at least use a long living domain to increase deliverability.
His point was that they do that routinely.
Why wouldn't they just put a TLS1.2 reverse proxy infront of whatever legacy system is there? or use cloudflare? that'd be way easier than telling people to reconfigure their browsers to be insecure everywhere on the web.
>It doesn't really matter, ultimately the 'quality' is in the ears of the perceiver.

Only if one thinks that "anything goes" and doesn't believe music and lyrics has any importance for the cultural development of society (and the personal development of the listener).

I was hoping people would mention the Living Computers museum, I had a chance to visit on a short trip to Seattle a couple of weeks ago and in the space of about 45 minutes I played a game of chess with a PDP-8 entering moves on a working teletype, wrote some BASIC on an original working Apple I and Altair, played a maze game on a Xerox Alto and played around with the fascinating UI on a NeXTstation. Capped it off with a game of Oregon Trail on a Mac SE.

I'm so grateful that people like Paul invested in giving people the means to interact with such iconic machines and kept them running - the value of places like this is immense.

Distraction is not new. We love doing things with instant gratification and anything of great value comes from deep work.

What it is new today is that people are fighting against a football team of Doctors in Psychology, experts manipulators that have sold their soul to the "Man", Google, Facebook... in order to enslave people following their primal impulses for the benefit of those Juggernauts, and the manipulators themselves, pretty happy to receive a fat check for their services.

The first thing you need to do in order to become free of their extensive web of control is to be conscious of their unfair game.

If you try to fight , alone, you will lose. Those guys know much more about you and humanity that you could ever grasp. Theoretically they hire experts in human behavior. In practice they know what thousands of millions of people do for real. They hold the emails, they have cameras and microphones on people's rooms, they follow your GPS signal on real time.

If you want to be a creator, free of distraction, the winning strategy is not to play. Use digital services that you pay and own, and associate with other creators because alone you are too weak.

> Blizzard themself have no modding capabilities for World of Warcraft or Overwatch. League of Legends, Fortnite and PubG have no mod framework whatsoever, despite being originally inspired by a mod.

ugh. I think the key point the author is missing that those are all online-only studio-server games. I can't remember any of those ever being properly moddable.

What Doom, Quake, and WarCraft3 had in common that you a) had a singleplayer mode and b) more importantly could host your own (dedicated or not) server - so you weren't taking part in a persistent MMO world where you'd for example ruin the economy with your "unlimited gold" mod, but you were setting the rules in your game mode.

I'm very happy to see this. For those who are not familiar with Luke Gorrie, he has done many interesting things whilst tightly orbiting around languages that lack popular appeal.

Erlang, Common Lisp, Forth and now Lua and Smalltalk, it takes a certain kind of thinking to go against the grain like that. Besides following his output for years and being inspired by him, I've always admired Luke for blazing his own path in the programming wilderness.
You have no doubt heard of https://www.planetcom.co.uk/ , a psion alumni project.
Indeed you are right, that's what people kept talking about when Amazon started to rise in popularity: long tail sales strategy.

They had everything that you simply couldn't get anywhere else, a strategy that only an online shop could manage. Borders and other big chain had a similar-ish strategy, however they were hampered by their physical shops: they are forced to curate to fit floor space and, for a customer, delivery is not a positive outcome of going to a physical shop, so it does not matter how fast you can get something if it takes longer than the customer is willing to stay in the shop.

Amazon has continued to refine its online shop, but the key was to always offer as much as possible, even offering themselves as a platform to independent seller in order to vastly increase their catalogue. ( I have done business with amazon sellers that had sold only a handful of time per year, for a perishable product - that's ultra long tail )
No, it’s not, and even if it were true it wouldn’t disqualify lisp, since you can quite happily wield lisp in a context which lets you express logic in simpler/constrained forms. Consider hiccup, datalog DSLs, etc.

Design Big Data Analytics Using Hadoop and BI Tools
Introduction
The advents of big data, many problems within industries and organizations that are associated with large data volumes are now being effectively addressed. These companies and industries can analyze as well as process large volumes of data that once was beyond their ability. There are many domains that have benefited from the usage of big data technologies. However, the area of cybersecurity has not embraced it so much, and the advantages of big data analytics are now also explored in this area. The Hadoop and BI tools that are available in the market can be useful in curbing the security challenges with the analytics of big data in companies and industries. According to Mahmood and Afzal (2013), the ability to detect and stopping the cyber attacks can lead to the breakage of an enterprise.

>> Two decades after its creation, Lisp had become, according to the famous
Hacker’s Dictionary, the “mother tongue” of artificial intelligence research.

More precisely, Lisp became the "mother tongue" of AI research in the United
States. Europe and Japan, which at the time also had a significant output
into AI research, instead used Prolog as a lingua franca.

This is interesting to note, because a common use of Lisp in AI was (is?) to
write an interpreter for a logic programming language and then use that
interpreter to perform inference tasks as required (this approach is evident,
for example, in Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, which
devotes chapter 4.3 to the development of a logic programming language, the
query language, which is basically Prolog with Lisp parentheses).

Hence the common response, by Prolog programmers, to Greenspun's tenth rule,
that:

Any sufficiently complicated Lisp program contains an ad-hoc,
informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of Edinburgh Prolog.
We have to decide what's enough to convince (and convince whom) I guess.

Just to throw out a couple of examples:

One of the larger businesses I'm aware of that's using a Lisp is Nubank in São Paulo. Valued at $1bn+ and 4 million paying customers[1]. Finance is a fairly complex domain.

King in Stockholm has also fairly recently rewritten their main game creation tooling in Clojure[2].

It probably is a regional variation as I was checking from Spain and it is $5.77 now.

BTW, I find it is a huge percent variation. Not sure if it is the outcome of some ML to optimize revenue or some other external (legal or author bound) reason.
I caught that movie already started on a TV channel once and saw like the last third of it. I didn't know the band, and all the while I thought it was a parody similar to Spinal Tap. It wasn't until the ending that I realized everything was a true story.

What a weird what-about-ism. There have been a few other atrocities too, why are you not mentioning them?
That's pretty much how I felt as well. I've come across this some weeks ago, and I'm still not sure if this will be a worthy LuaJIT successor.
> These days we have Flexbox & Grid, decently engineering solutions for layouts.

Flexbox was proposed in 2009, and it hasn't been widely available until years after that. The iOS and Android layout systems are functionally older than the "good" parts of CSS you speak of (I would agree FlexBox and Grid are actually fine, although not as complete of a solution as constraint-based layouts).

Moreover, if mobile did just use a subset of CSS for it's layout system, you'd just worsen the fragmentation problem that CSS currently suffers from: in order to write "cross-platform" css, which you cited as one of the benefits of this approach, you would need to account for _even more_ platforms with slightly different APIs. To make a layout which works on, say, IE 9 and Android you would still have to implement twice, or resort to workarounds like polyfills.

> Could you de-jargon these sentences?

If that seems like jargon to you, I would have the suspicion that you have never put the time in to learn the basic auto-layout concepts. If that's the case I'm not sure how you can compare them.

The point is that with autolayout, the total number of things you can do could be written on one page. You have a hand-full of general-purpose building blocks, and you compose them together to do whatever layout you want. That's compared to CSS where there's a large collection of tools, each of which has holes.

Or, instead of paying to implement, operate and maintain that system forever, and also hoping that someone independent will store copies forever (because without that independent third party, the news agency's whole system is irrelevant)... maybe they could permanently store a hash of published revisions on a public blockchain for $0.05 each.

It's just another option that might turn out to be useful for some.

Although, I feel like there are other complications in the news agency use case. For instance, many potential changes to an article are irrelevant to meaning, so they don't imply bad intentions, despite having a totally different hash. If the only copy of an article is on the newspaper's site, then a simple format update a year later could break all the hashes. [edit] I mean so it would become impossible to check whether the article had been changed. A typical hash function doesn't give any sense of edit distance.

GP post doesn't seem to consider the apparent need to also keep unchanged copies of the original articles. Those would be much too expensive to store on today's typical blockchains.

I'm sure those problems have been discussed before, maybe solved, but I wonder if these issues make this news agency case less suitable for a simple Blockchain implementation?
What's changed? There still isn't an independent implementation of Java, Harmony is still shut down because they were arbitrarily denied a TCK license.

No. No. No. You didn't do your homework. Both A16Z and Peter Thiel see Bitcoin as a store of value and Ethereum as a computing platform. Ethereum is a new paradigm only useful in applications where trust is paramount and/or there's generally lack of it between parties.

Mobile brought Instagram and Uber - simply because phones have a GPS and they're always with you. Not because they're a more powerful computing platform or smth.

TUSD and GUSD might be used for payments infra (they're stable).

I realize that many people still think of Bitcoin as a payment method and Ethereum as a place where it makes sense to build anything on (e.g social networks). But we're talking about A16Z's and PT's views (Which imo, are correct)
Wow, this is a really bad take. One survey a year ago and then another survey immediately after a highly partisan supreme court fight? Why don't you just change the question to "Did Brett do it?"

You can't know if your IP is already tainted until you realize your mails are landing in people's spam box.

I use one of the service even for my private email server (which is essentially free for the volume being sent), so I don't have to have stupid conversation like check for spam box whenever I send emails.

Having emails land in spam box pretty much makes your email non existent with the volume of spams being sent today. What is the reason not to use one of the services either privately or professionally?
