Guy's point was that the language should be designed to be grown grown by users, not by language designers.

> We need to put tools for language growth in the hands of the users.

Guy's previos work with Common Lisp is epitome of this. There are three kind of macros in the language: reader macros, macros and compiler macros. They give the tools for the user to extend the language. There is just 25 or so core primitives in the 'core' language and the runtime. The rest 900+ functions and symbols are basically the standard library (the fact that they are slapped into the same package and they extend the core in a ways that other languages can't hides the simplicity of the language somewhat).
In reality it solves far more than that for the average system for the average user. No on in reality is having their mobile number socially engineered to get into startup xs system. It's a good place to start until you are at a scale where you would have dedicated security engineers to work on the problem.

a schedule must be ambitious so that the development team will work hard is severely misguided

Several times in my career I have seen a CEO shamelessly say well done team another record breaking year but we didn’t meet our “stretch goals” so there will be no bonuses (for you). Managers occupy this weird world in which their staff is clever enough to work on advanced technology but too stupid to see through such transparent deception.
My English is really poor.

The meaning of my comment is essentially: try to image how easy will became forging false proofs for subjects with enough computational resources and skill. Add to the scenario the actual trend toward few and few subjects with knowledge and infrastructure that act as a "platform of our society"...

Hope it's more clear now.
Do you have information on professional detection equipment?

Detection apps are known to be ineffective. It's mostly because IMSI catchers comply with the standard. Your baseband will fall for that - there's not much useful information to be passed to the operating system - or even an app.
E-ink and similar tech seems to have tapered off the last couple of years, the only thing (as far as I know) that is doing anything new is the reMarkable. I was just about to pull the trigger on ordering one - anyone have experience with it? Is it really as paper-like as they claim?
I'm not aware from the article of how the illness "schizophrenia" foreshadows all of mental health. My illness being Gender Dysphoria.

Vitamin D deficiency from what I've read is common everywhere. It does make sense that longer winters would impact a person such as staying inside more. Yet I doubt any evidence can confirm lack of Vitamin D is associated with the illness schizophrenia.
Aviation does not usually require the precision assumed here. The aircraft would have flown fine anywhere between (say) 150k and 300k, so an initial-nav indication of (say) 250k +/- 20k would tell the crew that things are "close-enough".

More useful at the time would be to set a "sensible" power level and maintain approximate altitude ... and looking out the window is usually helpful!
Indeed -- annoyance with that is why I wrote FreeBSD Update. My view is that regular users should never have to compile anything, and I certainly wouldn't be happy if the first option for running FreeBSD in EC2 involved running a buildworld.

But I'm just fine with saying that this is an option for people who want to make their own changes to the FreeBSD base system. (And moreover, anyone who is making such changes is unlikely to be scared off by the buildworld/buildkernel; in fact, they've already done it, when they were making their changes offline.)
I think this is a really appealing idea but so far nobody’s managed to build a successful language this way. I’d love to see a mainstream language designed on these principles myself but I think it’s not going to be an s-expression based language.
The Netscape browser, and the concept of the internet in normal peoples' homes, and the concept of e-commerce all proved themselves in less time than blockchain tech has now had to prove itself. Maybe that's because blockchain tech will never succeed.

I don't appreciate your condescension, for example:

> If you have any understanding of the way technology is developed and becomes commercialized (hint: google "gartner hype cycle")

I understand these things just fine, thank you very much, and I'm asking you for a explanation why blockchain tech is going to succeed despite its having failed for far more years than comparable technologies have failed in the past. It's been a decade. Where's the beef?
Presumably Google’s normal target market for the camera loans are museums, parks, shopping centres, local government tourism departments and suchlike.

I'm from Poland and while I never experienced a robocall, I have to deal with telemarketers every now and then because someone somewhere shared my number against my will and while in theory the caller is obligated to disclosure how my number landed in its company database, they're often hanging up in second they're asked or pulling the "it was randomly selected" bullshit, and recently, after GDPR they're giving premium-rated phone numbers claiming that's how you can exclude your number from database which obviously doesn't work.

While singing contract for fiber connection, I had to repeat few times that I want to opt-out almost losing nerves talking with agent saying that I'm really not interested having telemarketers clogging my phone even if that means I'll miss a chance to win something - because that's how she tried to advertise that. I could either allow those calls for 5 PLN less on my bill or opt-out for same amount added to it and I did choose the latter.

Anyway, there are sites and apps which are trying to "rate" calling numbers and warn other people - most of the times they do good job.

It's been a while since I watched this but my current thoughts on "Growing a language" is that I fear it is an unhelpful simplification of what makes language design hard. IMHO language design is a holistic design problem that needs global optimisation. You cannot incrementally hill-climb yourself anywhere useful when you can't backtrack over past decisions.

It is like designing a workshop. You only have so much space within arms reach. Here you place your most frequently used and valuable tools. You can "grow your language" by adding tools but they can't replace what you have in this limited and privileged position - instead, new tools have to go in cupboards or on another table. The new tools will have higher friction than the first priority tools you added.

Maybe you can have a workshop where you imagine a tool and it appears in your hand thereby removing the constraint of "tools within reach" but I think this then makes it too ephemeral and abstract. It is the constraints that makes a language tactile and ergonomic - remove the constraints and you have no structure at all.

In this case, the "tools within reach" are your core keywords and syntax. Growing features via libraries or syntactic extensions generally incur more ceremony and less elegance. Having totally flexible syntax extensions/keywords doesn't solve the problem, it just moves up a level abstraction/generality and means you have given your users the "design a language" problem instead of solving it for them.
This all circles back to the fact that none of the base station manufacturers have an open source stack that any nation can trust to be reasonably secure.

Instead, carrier networks are a hodgepodge of various vendors equipment, many of which have terrible security histories (looking at you Juniper!). Its reasonable to be suspicious of non-domestic vendors, but the fix isn't to consider Ericsson or Nokia (formerly Alcatel-Lucent) secure, but rather to put this code in the public purview such that non-employees can bugfix, extend and enhance our communications networks.
Wondering about the same thing.
> One can argue when these terms were initially coined. But we do have hard data on when they became prevalent in the public mind. Look at the Google trends for "deplatforming"[1], "no platforming"[2] and "alt right"[3]. "No platforming" had some blips starting in the late 2000s, but begins rising significantly in 2015, "deplatforming" in January of 2016, and "alt right" in august of 2016. There is evidence to the claim that deplatforming (or at least, widespread interesting in deplatofrming or "no platforming") preceded widespread interest in the alt-right.

The terms themselves don't seem particularly relevant. The idea of deplatforming people has been around and practiced for a while. The alt-right dates back to at least Gamergate, and its roots in neoreaction, TRP, MGTOW, /pol/, etc can be traced back much further. I don't think Google trends really proves much here.

> Yes, but as I stated multiple times by now the key limitation here is that they only looked at the material on the same site. Site X bans Y (whether in full or in only some subforums). You observe a reduction of Y on the site. That's not evidence that this action reduced Y in society as a whole. There is a causal relationship between deplatforming and reduction of the deplatformed view on said platform. Nobody is disagreeing with that - most people would likely read such a statement and think "no kidding, Sherlock".

It's not tautological that that should happen. Remember, they're looking at the prevalence of that view elsewhere. It's not at all obvious that it should be the case that when you ban the 'Fat People Hate' subreddit, fat-shaming content elsewhere on reddit decreases.

It would be very hard to prove this effect on general social sentiment even for a site as big as reddit, because society is so much larger. Facebook might be big enough to have a measurable effect on society writ large, but their policing mechanism, and the internal organizational structure of Facebook doesn't really lend itself to these sorts of experiments.

> For example, pointing to the fact that when Reddit banned racist subreddits racist content on other subreddits were reduced is proof that banning racist subreddits reduced racist content on Reddit. This is not at all surprising, and is something most would call obvious. But to portray this as proof that banning racist subreddits reduces racist content in society as a whole is a very large misrepresentation.

It didn't just reduce the aggregate racist content on reddit. It reduced the aggregate racist content above and beyond the literal content that was removed. In other words, when they banned r/CoonTown, r/politics got less racist. That is not at all an obvious consequence.

How so? If that were true, we'd see factory farms lobbying for stronger laws against animal cruelty, to prevent competitors that do not care about animals from forcing everyone into the current state of things.

Truth is, a lot of people - inside and outside - just don't care. Ceteris paribus, they'd prefer animals to have happy lives, but that preference is outweighed by needs of convenience, profit, human healthcare, and food security.

That best-seller for the price of $12 is based on thousands of copies, many times printed in china and shipped by container loads.

I think this is key. I'm quite disappointed that the NYT didn't mention China in the article.

A lot of high volume stuff is printed in China and takes the slow boat here. Domestic printers couldn't compete on price with that. So now they no longer have the onshore capability to print large numbers of books here.

This is Economics 101.

The article literally says “All of the sudden, there’s just no capacity”, and follows with "One large printing company, Edward Brothers Malloy, shut down this summer."

Well, duh. The publishers switched to printing in China. So what the fuck were domestic printers supposed to do?
I’ve roughly planned a talk entitled “building a fair dinkum email client in half an hour with JMAP” (I’d take an hour if permitted; the result would be much better). The talk is mostly live coding the thing from scratch, with authentication being the only area where I cheat. I submitted it for Strange Loop earlier this year, but it wasn’t accepted, so I haven’t actually written it yet. Anyone got any suggestions of places to submit it to?

That JMAP makes it straightforward to build a rudimentary but fully functional email client gives me hope that people may experiment more than they have been. I believe that a large part of the reason that there are few email clients now is because getting a basically-functioning email client going is a surprisingly large investment of effort, and doing it well is an enormous investment.
I enjoyed this explanation, thank you.

Curious to know what the differences are vis-a-vis big data tools like Hadoop or Spark; as a user of those tools I recognized a lot of common failure patterns in the example above. Thanks!

Good point. But the problem with regulation, especially in as of yet poorly understood domains, is it's hard to craft laws that target the behaviours you want to have punished without inflicting too much collateral damage on behaviours you still want to enable. And of course the ones best able to defend themselves against these regulations are the companies who can afford armies of lawyers and loophole-seekers.

My suggestion is: Punish bad behaviours by social exclusion.

This is quite a treasure trove of data for Word 1.0:

- 55 man years

- 38 man years by full time employees (FTEs)

- 7000 LOC/yr code written per FTE

- product + tools = 347 KLOC

- 12,511 bugs, 9377 deemed fixable

- 1197 bugs postponed (13% of that were fixable)

- 247 bugs/yr fixed per FTE

- 38 bugs/KLOC

- Total 5 yrs (1st yr just 1 person, last yr had 13 max, other yrs had 10 avg)

It is quite amazing that a young company allowed such a long running project and kept at it despite of many schedule misses for 5 years. This is now almost never observed even in resource rich mega corps.

Also it seems developer productivity and bug count per KLOC has more or less remained same all these years. I haven't spent much time on researching this but if its true then I wonder what we gained out of improvements in languages and other development infrastructure? May be perhaps ability to scale to teams of 100s of developers per project totalling million KLOC? Interestingly World 1.0 team never went above 13 people despite of so many delays - may be because it was hard to scale using infrastructure available at the time (for example, no OOP)? Regardless the fact that average developer productivity in terms of KLOC and bugs/KLOC has remained fairly constant is very interesting.

Certainly possible but not required. In the B737 family, most of the main controls are essentially power assisted direct controls.

Boeing consistently has preferred more-or-less manual controls, while Airbus took the other direction (in which the pilot guides the computer, which operates the controls).

All airlines can fly happily in completely "manual" mode. Boeings are doing this most of the time, Airbus's only do this when the situation is outside the computer's envelope.

Wow, did not realize how far behind California is on minimum wage, its only at $10.50/hr. Oregon is already at $10.75/hr in most rural counties, and $12 in Portland and surrounding areas. Meanwhile up here in Washington we're at $11.50, and Seattle proper is $15/hr here in a few days.

How does the state justify letting businesses pull a fast one on contractors at $10/hr? Sounds like an end run around the law.
> No on in reality is having their mobile number socially engineered to get into startup xs system.

The problem is that you can't know whether that's the case at start, at some point in the future, or never. You'll only find out that your guess was wrong when you're breached which is never a good time for any service, particularly one covered by HIPAA. Besides, why intentionally implement a known-to-be-insecure second factor method? This is brand new code; there's no need to incur technical debt from day one. Which leads to:

> It's a good place to start until you are at a scale where you would have dedicated security engineers to work on the problem.

Except that day never comes for a variety of reasons. "Users already expect it so we can't remove that." "There are several dozen other security audits/features/fixes we need to make, let's prioritize those first." "What? SMS is insecure? Weird, never knew that."

Also, if we don't start making the decision now, before the second factor is ever implemented, to move away from using SMS as that second factor for the reasons it is known to be broken, when do we start?
>Women are selling their bodies not because they need to but because they want to.

How about "because they need to AND can" (whereas the men might also need to, but cannot, there's not as much of a market).
I had this idea about ARM servers that they were going to be significantly smaller, demand less power, and generate less heat than the existing x86 units. Where I work all of our servers fit in something like 22U and I expect a solid minority of them could be swapped out for something smaller.

Instead what we got are big chips with ARM ISA that are essentially scaled up to roughly Xeon sizes... which in hindsight I suppose is obvious coz that's probably where the money is.

Nevertheless I still think there is a niche for smaller servers with smaller granulation of quanta of compute capacity.
No, because it will be different for every patient (for the same treatment) and will fluctuate widely from year to year. Also there is a general ethical sense of recommending the best treatment and dealing with cost as an afterthought.

I can even use my own domain.
