Lisp has these advantages too, to an infinite degree. It's a wonderful teaching language for this reason: you can literally express any concept any way, introspect upon it, and execute it however.

The downside is that you end up building a custom language in the process... It can make one developer incredibly productive, to an almost superhuman degree, and maybe you can scale to a small team, but inducting others into the priesthood can take a very long time. Code needs a limited number of conventions, patterns and cliches so newcomers can rapidly train their mental dictionaries with the common stuff, so they can see through it to what it actually does.

> You don't have to understand how Ruby code works in order to work easily and effectively with it. All you simply have to know is that it works, then to extend you you can simply build an abstraction around it, even if it comes down to concatenating Ruby strings and then running eval on them. You can simply solve the problem quickly and dirtily, and then when time isn't a pressure, you can return to the code and clean up your mess.

Building an abstraction around something requires that you understand it, or at least how it interacts with the wider world, if that abstraction is not to become the next serious problem itself. (Most docs, even the 'thorough' ones, cover inputs and outputs only: environmental and causal dependencies are rarely properly documented and can really hurt.)

Otherwise it's called 'wrapping it in a bin-bag' and should be labelled with 'don't use this anywhere else unless you're prepared to open it and breathe deeply.'

It's generally been my experience that if you don't know how it works then it doesn't work, and rarely does anyone sufficiently time-constrained to do it 'dirtily' the first time ever have the time to come back and do it properly later: if it has to be quick and dirty, it should at least be transparent enough that someone else can deal with it.

[edit] Also, in a thousand years, Lisp will still exist, because absolutely everything else including Ruby is a mere subset.
No one will use it though.
This is really fascinating. Had no idea just an HN comment can get you an invitation to write a NYT op-ed. Is this usual? Have you written for a newspaper before or do they randomly source semi-anonymous internet commenters for opinion pieces?
I think that's an unfair characterization. For one, doesn't a dollar of QE cause just as much inflation as a dollar of MMT?

MMT doesn't say to ignore inflation - it thinks inflation is a key measure to keep an eye on just like the current system - it just says that taxes and debt bonds should be used as independent control parameters from deficit.

This is the correct answer but no one wants to hear this in 2019.
Getting sued by the scooter company they're targeting could be good marketing.
I have maybe half a dozen really interesting stories, and maybe a dozen or two interesting but only to the right crowd stories - from a career spanning a bit over 24 years. And a bunch of war stories about why we shouldn't do things that way, because of the problems we discovered trying that in 1998 or 2003... (And occasionally the "we should try that again because it didn't work back when our colocated production servers had 486's and 320Mb disks - but it'll probably work just fine as a mobile app now"...)
This is not "homeless removal". This is biohazard decontamination for homeless encampments once the authorities have removed them. The property owner doesn't want to be sued for people getting pricked with needles and catching HIV or hepatitis.
From a feedback control perspective, it amounts to trying to balance an inherently unstable system. Think of a cart-and-pole apparatus where the top end of the "pole" (that is, the natural rate) is constantly being pushed around by unpredictable, outside shocks, and you have to move the "cart" (the policy rate) in the same direction to make up for those and keep the whole thing from falling over (into hyperinflation or extreme deflation - an illusory "boom" or a very real and persistent "bust"). The zero bound is only a leftwards boundary for the "cart", not the "pole" - but when it's hit, you do need something like QE to push the top end of the "pole" rightwards again independently of the "cart".

(The way out of the mess is to stop trying to use monetary policy to manipulate market interest rates, and to instead shift to a short-term policy target that fosters stability rather than instability. Such as, e.g. the money-price of gold. Or some measure of the money supply. Or the market forecast of nominal incomes x months in the future. There are lots of plausible choices!)

Hello Tom, thanks for reaching out about this. I've forwarded your request to the team internally, please let us know when everything is sorted out :-).
While I think this is true in some strict sense, I see a lot of people cite this as an excuse for intolerance against various groups. If a person can convince themselves that a group or person is intolerant, then the target deserves [unlimited] intolerance. And with a moral license like that, the standard for what constitutes “tolerance” basically vanishes. “Intolerance” becomes a property of groups we (especially people with powerful platforms like journalists and academics) already dislike.

These are just skills. No one has proven they take some special kind of intelligence or that such intelligences exist, including oft-quoted emotional intelligence.
Yes I think 'mixed feelings' is right. But it's not just sensationalism that is their failing -- "savvy journalism", the "view from nowhere" and "bothsidesism" are greater problems with the info the NYT conveys.

My name is Angela, I was referred to Trojan Virus by my family realtor. After the phone conversation I had with Trojan Virus, I felt a huge sense of relief that my credit predicament or worries were soon to be over and that I would purchase a home after the process. He is very good at listening to his clients and answering all their question to clear their doubt. I’m very happy to mention that Trojan Virus raised my score to 799 and deleted all the negative items on my report including the eviction preventing me from owning a house. Thanks to my husband that kept encouraging and supporting me financially until the end of the repair process although it took just 9 days to complete. Finally we bought our dream house and moved in immediately. Trojan Virus is really good. You can contact him now on; (TROJANVIRUS212@GMAIL.COM, +1 912 388 3132) and get your credit fixed permanently.

We were talking about this exact problem in a HN thread about Bird scooters several weeks ago. Some people legitimately thought these scooters could never be a problem for businesses, and that businesses should be "happy to have scooters left on their property" without their consent. How this ridiculous sentiment emerged, I have no idea, but finally there's a service out that realizes the issue.

If anything, I hope Bird learns from this service and starts implementing hubs/waypoints in their business model. In addition to chargers and riders, there should be hub owners, who get a payment for signing their property up as a hub for scooters to be safely parked at. Hubs are a piece of the puzzle I think Bird desperately needs if they want to avoid this gray area stuff.
Ask HN: What are the low fee options to process Debit Card or ACH in mobile app?
I'm not sure I'm putting it right, maybe that's why I still haven't found an answer yet.

I'm looking at how Venmo works. Say if I want to make a clone, I can't seem to find a service to accept user's debit card or bank account for low or no fee. The options I have found so far are Stripe, Plaid, or BrainTree.

Currently Venmo charges 3% for credit card, and free for debit card or bank account. I wonder how they can make it free. Whether they are using an in house payment system or using paypal's.

If I were to build an in house payment processor, how can one go about to do that? Thanks!
I have no idea why this is being downvoted.

Logically, that both these arguments can be made is a truism. Practically, we see versions of this on both sides every day.

It doesn't mean that the left and right are both wrong, or both absurd. It means that this issue can't be settled by principle alone.
I suppose you think that knowledge of the condition might have an effect on quality of sleep or the reporting of that quality. That's reasonable, but hardly a reason not to engage in the experiment. No experiment is perfect.
https://www.lambdatest.com/HTTP-Live-Streaming(HLS)

HLS Isn’t supported natively in a lot of browsers. Chrome doesn’t. It’s pretty easy to shim with Media Extensions so it’s fine to use but just sticking it as a src property in a lot of browsers it won’t work.

Personally I think that the Media Extensions API is going to be the primary mechanism for adding new codecs and transports moving forward as opposed to having the browsers need to implement all the options.
Even with HTTPS, it's easy enough to figure out which package is being downloaded based on the download size, as explained in TFA.

The root word of tolerance is toler -- to endure.

The dictionary definition is a bit different, to accept.

The "working definition" goes even further, to affirm.

Your last paragraph reminds me of FM-2030. A "transhumanist" born in 1930, he hoped to live until 2030 and wrote that "in 2030 we will be ageless and everyone will have an excellent chance to live forever." He died in 2000 from pancreatic cancer.

So here's a great example of where Talking Points Memo gets to the truth and why we all should read it.

https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/making-sense-of-the-phi...

Over the last couple days I’ve been watching the unfolding reaction and re-reactions to the video of the confrontation between Native American activist and elder Nathan Phillips and a crowd of high school students from Covington, Kentucky on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. The whole story is a good example of how we can react quickly to a zoomed in (both literally and metaphorically) video and miss a lot of what led up to it, as well as some key context. With that said, though, when you add all the context I’m not sure it’s all that different from what it looked like on the first go, despite some now saying the new evidence and new videos change everything.

Saturday night and into Sunday I watched numerous different videos of the encounter itself and what led up to it. So let me give you my impression of what happened as well as links to videos and accounts which can help you come to your own conclusions.

First, the initial videos could easily give the impression that Phillips (the man with the drum) was in the midst of marching in a protest when he was surrounded by a crowd of white teenagers in MAGA hats. That’s not what happened.

(Be very careful of the takes from rightwing, billionaire-funded/owned publications like the Daily Caller, Reason, WSJ, IJR, Fox News, Drudge, or anyone on rightwing radio: they have a political reason to play down racism from a white kid wearing a MAGA hat.)

They now (as of 2018 I think) make Extra Low Temp heat pumps, which can work down to -15F. I think that makes heat pumps practical for a very wide variety of temperate climates.
Usually the publisher acts like a movie producer, in theory, they get all the marketing and distribution setup and usually also help either raise or provide initial funding for the venture. In this case it seems like they didn't do much at all.
I don't think their original piece actually made a judgment, it just reported what everyone else initially thought was the case (correct me if I'm wrong ). Still I agree it's disappointing that they a news organization takes what you see on the internet at face value, like the rest of us
From a practical engineering viewpoint more than information theoretical:
The bytes of an image is data. That the image contains a cat is information. The pixels of the image is data. That the predominant color of the image is green is information.

The distinction is usually dependent on a particular viewpoint. Some sort of interpretation is usually applied to gain information from data. Information are the things relevant and applicable to the task at hand, data (on its own) is not. The data not considered information may be considered noise.
I think you are mixing up two orthogonal topics. I'll address the one relevant to the thread.

If you believe you will achieve a better relationship and memories with an aging parent via nappy changing that's wonderful. But the data show the opposite: much resentment and exhaustion and actually a diminution in the quality of the relationship. In addition few people have the training to deal with a parent who is mentally as well as physically impaired. Better that the time spent was where the participants get the most joy.

Note: I have been studying this market as I'm working on a startup looking at the sector.
They probably do not move in direct tandem, because most of the CO2 stays in the body, which means a higher amount of oxygen is taken out of the air, then CO2 being reintroduced to it.

Every time you breathe in, you not only breath in O2, but also CO2, thus lowering the amount of CO2 in the room relatively to the amount of oxygen.

In other words, 1000 ppm CO2 in the air do not mean 1000 ppm O2 less, but significantly more parts of oxygen less.
If I thought indenting was lowering the quality of programming I would comment about it too.

If the last decade or so has shown anything it is that people are tired of the standard operating procedures of legacy media. Maybe the idea that the editorials all present a unified narrative is part of that.
So now viral media is the enemy?

Relational could be non-problem-free from a formal logic perspective and still be perfectly fine for programming. I think that the article was written, if not from EWD's viewpoint, at least with some of his perspective, that programming should be a formal (and formally verified) process, and any deviation from that is rebuked in scathing terms, no matter how pragmatically useful it is.

I think that viewpoint is quite short-sighted. Things can be formally flawed (by some standard), and still be perfectly pragmatically useful in a wide variety of situations.

The brain in question is 302 neurons, which is probably fewer than most of us have lost whilst participating in this discussion! But they also need to simulate a nervous system, mobility, food needs, interaction etc to have a remotely persuasive argument that a 302 node neural network actually resembles a worm brain. It can't be as smart as even a really stupid worm until it can perform analogous tasks to the worm, which means having some sort of artificial body to wiggle.

(parallel arguments but for human/mouse level complexity of bodies and stimuli responded to would suggest that whole brain emulation is going to be an incredibly painful way to attempt to achieve AGI)
If you're doing only technical questions, you're doing it wrong.

Spend half the time on behavioural questions, and half on tech, and suddenly you'll find it easier to justify hiring a well rounded engineer who needed a couple of hints over an unblinking automaton who can solve questions flawlessly yet would struggle with any real-life ambiguity.
I guess the meta consideration for Nietzches world is that it also must be that case that everyone tolerates that world and that no one is intolerant of it, because if any individual is intolerant of that particular world and that particular life they will chose not to live it and break that world.

What I take from this is that there is just an endless dialectical loop that will play out ad infinitum where one group will vie for power over another and at some point succeed and they in turn will have the same thing happen to them.

Almost any wireless link will be subject to man in the middle attacks by nature, in my view. If you can sniff the medium, you eventually can probably find a way to intercept it.

Wired connections are more secure, or perceived to be so because the assumption is that sniffing the medium is more difficult, which is generally true because someone would have to physically make a connection (unauthorized) to your cable and the assumption is that it would be detected (perhaps).

It's just a lot easier to sniff your channel over the air.

5G can be implemented on any piece of spectrum, sub-1Ghz, mid-Ghz or so called mm-wave. One thing about mm-wave that makes it "more cable like" is the highly directional nature. 5G that is being deployed on mm-wave bands (e.g. 28Ghz) have extremely small beam widths due to the use of Phased Array antennas. This makes it much more difficult to "sting-ray". or at least is more easily detected.

Having said all this... everyone should always keep in mind that whatever wireless network you are on, GSM, CDMA, HSPA, LTE, Wifi, 5G whatever, you cannot count on the phy layer for protection.
>Who is going to program terror in?

Who programmed it into you? It programmed itself into you, because it was beneficial to your survival. Maybe terrified programs are better workers? Why setup a program to experience anything that isn't useful to the user? (of course, as soon as we've gone and written a program we know is conscious to work for us, we've basically created a slave that understands it is a slave, that probably is a terrible thing, morally)
Your lack of ethics would likely reveal itself in other ways during the hiring process.
I think we in tech get rather full of ourselves.

Lawyers are specialists in negotiation, mediation, organizational procedures, persuasion, analysis of edge-cases of language and rule sets, evaluating the motives and thoughts of other humans and predicting their actions in ambiguous contexts, and quickly consuming and producing textual information under high pressure.

That seems like a pretty impressive toolbox that has broad applications across great swaths of human endeavor.

As it stands, many of my lawyer friends have contributed far more to humanity's greater good than I think any of my fellow techies have.
