Roswell and Quicklisp are two different things. Quicklisp takes care of downloading systems (what other languages tend to call packages) and makes them available to ASDF. Roswell and takes care of installing Common Lisp Implementations (think chruby + ruby-install). It also allows you to run lisp programs as scripts iirc.

FTW you don't need to install Roswell to try Lem, you can use cl-launch instead
The US provides health care to the poor but not other people because we view it as part of the social safety net, not a general public service. We can debate about which is the right view, but you don’t need “lobbying” to get to the US view.
I'm not sure how I feel about this.

Over the last couple years it has become increasingly clear that public personal social media history is a liability. People's histories have often been weaponized against them, and mass processing of social media has been used as a weapon against society as a whole (Cambridge Analytica, etc.).

I recently deleted my Facebook account, but didn't take the time to delete Google+ because I figured it was about to disappear anyway. But now it turns out some people are building a public archive of my content, and presumably they aren't going to give me a way to delete it. This makes me uncomfortable. I have now deleted my Google+ history; I hope they didn't get much of it.

To be clear, I think the Internet Archive is good people with noble intentions. But given what we've learned recently about social media possibly being a huge mistake... this effort worries me.

3.) Are we really going to pretend Google's spying is such a fringe idea that it needs a citation to be believed, and not their main business model?

I've done it like this (not shown, this is not an ad).

Have an image at the right bottom. People can click and only then the chat widget opens. This means very fast loading of the page and only if people click on the widget there is contact with a third party server. I think it's the best of all ways. There is an easy way to contact for the visitor, but there is no in-your-face marketing technique used on potential customers.
In my opinion, requiring commutativity from a +-operator is maybe too much. Associativity and a neutral element seem to be enough (i.e. forming a monoid).

Agreed. Allowing these kids to retain admission or a degree, if graduated, would severely undermine the credibility of the admission systems at those universities for legitimately-admitted students.

If anything, after the current uproar dies down, it would encourage more of the same. It would send the message that even after this problem becomes national and international news with dozens of criminal charges to the perpetrators, those schools will still do nothing if you get caught.
> Do most UBI schemes assume that healthcare subsidies would stop for instance, and the money be redirected to the UBI?

Most UBI schemes position UBI as supplemental income in conjunction with public assistance.

There's a small, but vocal, minority who wants to replace all public assistance with UBI.

The monetary implications are even scarier.

The real reason they are pushing for "cashless society" is so they can impose negative interest rates. Since you won't have the option to withdraw your funds into cashier, you bank balance will be debited monthly as a privilege for giving the bank money.

Its their next hairbrained scheme to try and shore up their ponzi-scheme economy.
Their algo is now attempting to surpress fake news so it makes sense that fox would rise to the top. Most the “angry” is people reading fox news content and getiing angry about what they are reading - attempted coup, deep state, socialists etc.

If anyone could help me with these I'd be very, very grateful.
How did you stay motivated to finish the homework or projects to the same degree as if you were being graded? I feel like the one factor that changes the equation is that grading inherently motivates even those who want to learn for learnings sake - it forces you to move faster and study harder with time and grade challenges.

Do you feel like you learned the material to a level that you would have had it been graded for you??

The prevalence of charity is evidence of the failure of society to provide equity of opportunity.

That's okay. I prefer proportionality to equity, personally. But the ideas that everyone must be given a chance to make it are incompatible with the absence of the welfare state.
Yeah, but code blocks are still limited in width on mobile. At least let them flow to the edge of the screen before scrolling.

Chat is great and any company should have a way to quickly contact a person with an arbitrary question. This is more for distracting pop ups, that I’m sure increase conversions, but it’s at the expense of annoying the rest of your visitors.
tbh, if you're writing a lot of equations like this in a program, the Lisp version should probably be something like

(eqn x * (y + z) = x * z + y * z)

where you write and test an `eqn` macro that rewrites everything in the correct syntax.
Another problem is that no society is perfect. And even if it were, it won't stay that way.

There is a need for a small grey area in any system to stay sane, where people can workaround the limitations of said system.

Yes, it will be abused, and also used for nefarious purposes. But it's better than the alternative.

You need people to sometimes be able to do things the state doesn't approve. You need children to be able to mess around without parent knowing. You need to be able to go to a gay bar without living a trace. You need to be able to give cash to a homeless without him being part of the system.

Also if you make it very hard to try new things that are illegal or immoral now, your society will get stuck and lose a lot of opportunities to evolve.

Yes, it would be better to change the system to make it better first. But it's a slow and unreliable process, especially if you can't prove that your way is ok. So having little pocket of experimentation is important, and cash allows that.
Their lives aren't getting worse. Income grew last year.

A couple of things need serious addressing: cost of housing (almost entirely due to protectionist zoning laws), cost of education (starting to think boot camps and trade schools aren't such a bad idea after all) and cost of healthcare.

I think there's solutions for those three.
Usually on pages with no indication otherwise what the product in question actually is. It’s the modern equivalent of “ask your doctor about XXXmedicine” when they don’t tel you what it treats.
It's reasonable (at least in the US and most other developed countries).

Economic output is the product of the number of workers and their productivity. The US population is aging (so Baby Boomers are retiring) and its fertility is low relative to previous generations (though higher than other developed countries). This means there US won't get the GDP tailwind from population growth that it used to.

The other place to look is productivity. This is, in large part, a function of technology innovation (and adoption) though there are over ways to make the workforce more efficient as well. Productivity growth has been below historical norms since 2008 and nobody really knows why. Whether this is a anomaly or a trend is an open question, and makes up most the game of predicting long-term economic growth.

Personally, I suspect overall technological progress follows an S-curve and will slow at some point. I can't claim to know where we are on the S-curve, but I'm skeptical that Big Data and AI will lead to the same productivity gains as computers, electricity, etc (I'm an ML engineer fwiw). I wouldn't be surprised if US growth stays is low relative to historical standards for the foreseeable future.

Legally speaking, it really does matter (18 U.S.C. 2511(2)(d) [1]) [my emphasis]:

If a fileserver vulnerability helps an attacker to take control of the host, they may be able to move traffic between the network cards.

Might be better to have two file servers. The less-exposed server could periodically connect to the more-exposed server to sync files. Would not need open ports on the less-exposed server.
I looked those up:

https://pharo.org/ - A language with an IDE

http://pixielang.org/ - A lisp.

https://www.ponylang.io/

Sadly not a match. All I remember was that the language was written in C, compiled to bytecode and was executed in a virtual machine (like Lua, and similar languages). It was "small" and "fast" and probably had a C-like syntax.

I should perform a decent search, because the more I think about it the more I'm annoyed now!
Yes, it's because of central bank policy since '08, which are equivalent to price controls of assets (bonds and mortgages aren't allowed to be too cheap). This directly benefits asset-holders in general and punishes everyone else.

In the past, central banks in this sort of situation might have actually printed money instead. Actual printing of money is good for inequality—it distributes liquidity throughout the economy, encourages inflation, which effectively transfers wealth from current nominal asset-holders to debtors, and depending on how the money gets printed (e.g. use it to pay for a progressive tax credit), it can directly reverse inequality.

Why didn't central banks print money? A main reason is because the way printing money works is it has to happen through well-capitalized banks, which didn't exist in the post-crisis era, and it was hugely politically unpopular to bail them out.

Also, most people don't understand the Rube Goldberg machine of central bank policy and would've opposed money printing or inflation, even if it would've been the key to a real, broad-based economic recovery.
> And people buying expensive ones are probably inclined to try new ones based on recommendations of their local dedicated store.

Local third wave coffee shops can only afford to stock a small variety from a small number of roasters due to the short lifespan of freshly roasted coffee. There are several online multi-roaster coffee marketplaces e.g., Crema.co, because the broad variety problem is not feasible to solve locally.

If you know that you like a fairly specific kind of coffee, like a natural process fruit-forward Ethiopian, you are lucky to find 1-2 versions of this locally at a given time whereas online you might find a dozen or more.

The best thing you can do to support your local shop is buy their freshly brewed coffee or espresso drinks (and tip the baristas well). Much more of their profit comes from that than bulk beans.

I support both personally and don't see them as conflicting with each other.
Not sure why you’re being downvoted.
I think the only reason the government is treating it so seriously is, this time, the university is the victim.
Well, I created a poem generator some ages ago using markov chains! It was darn good!
The one weird legacy feature that grates on me when trying to do strange things with Erlang is its heavy reliance on the filesystem. You can barely generate+load a module in memory; you can't generate+load an application in memory, let alone a relup or an entire release. These operations all use the filesystem as a working store for their state. There's many other similar things—e.g. the reliance the ssh application has on the OS host-keys directory.
I am quite convinced that consumers don't care all that much. I certainly am not. I trust Google not to fuck with stuff. When they do, I'll kick up a fuss.

The degree of "you should be panicking" around this is annoying to me.
Just imagine for a moment how different this article would be if the US had a democrat administration. I dare say it would read with a near utopian glow.
If you are European, I bet GDPR applies to them as well. Now that they have your data, they must have a way of allowing you to access it, review it, and request its removal.
This is definitely not the case, the standard of care available to poor people roughly matches that of the region where they live, it is just typically less convenient and more ad hoc. Been there, done that. The details vary with locale but healthcare is generally available to the poor at little or no cost everywhere in the US. It is a different experience than an insured middle class person but outcomes are largely the same at a given facility.

I've personally seen a (likely illegal) migrant worker helicoptered to Stanford hospital where they surgically re-attached a severed limb. Best standard of care available, far above what was required, with no possibility of repayment.

People donate money to universities all the time in exchange for admission. But in this case, the bribes went to university employees -- who could be bought much cheaper than the university itself. The university was the victim of a fraud by its own employees.
Income growth doesn’t mean equity. It is still getting harder for poor people and easier for rich people.

Housing isn’t just, or even primarily, protectionist zoning laws. Many places really are space constrained, and even going for density doesn’t always reduce costs (many of the densest cities are the most expensive).

As for education and healthcare, these are problems that other developed countries have solved and so are uniquely American.
Cash is just a bartering medium. You can barter using stolen valuables. Cashless won't stop poverty and desperation. People will adapt and we'll see a shift in crimes.

> OOP is fraught with gotchas, misaligned incentives and lacks objectively checkable criteria

Like, almost everything in programming these days (especially the frontend part)?

I actually like how functional code looks like, especially ML dialects - OCaml, Haskell, F#

What stopping me from trying to use these languages in prod is the lack of tooling (mostly refactoring), in the sense what Idea can offer.

And when you have >3 people in a project with a language which has no mature refactoring tools, there is a problem then, a big one. Imho of course.
Some of those are good for moving towards an ecologically sustainable economy... but consumer "preferences" changing due to stagnating wages in the face of rising costs of living is not a good thing. Labor liquidity is vital for a fast adaptive economy.

The metrics show economic suffering because that's the reality, this complex dynamic system is still adapting to the internet revolution and many are being left behind thanks to the anti-competitive effects of QE.
That’s a great goal!!
That’s not totally correct either. First, the “percentage” is 138% under the ACA, or about $16,500. Second, every state covers at least parents, children, and pregnant women under Medicaid (the author of the article would be covered in any state). Some states who didn’t accept Medicaid expansion don’t cover childless adults.
Shouldn't that be something like "innovation is about improving a process permanently, whereas toil is continous, laborious work only for /status quo/ to be preserved"?

Measurement is, of course, a key issue, but it's less clear than you think that these changes represent forward progress.

Device convergence is pretty handy, and the shift towards spacial minimalism suits me nicely.

Is having less time in shared physical space, fewer "third places" really good? Do virtual replacements -- and their tendency toward sorted-ness -- really replace them effectively?

But most of all, a narrower demand profile leads to people who are left out of the labor market (and an even larger number of people who may be included but are poorly rewarded).

Make sure any alternatie measure you suggest keeps an eye on these issues.

I think the commonality is that Rachel Maddow and the talking heads at Fox News aren't journalists. They spend their time telling their audiences how to think. They just do it differently.

If you want the news rather than someone telling you how to think you don't need either.

Btw Glenn Greenwald has reported about the biases of Rachel Maddow quite a number of times.

I think I've used an unsolicited chat widget maybe once. What stood out to me was that the entire experience is setup to be a poor one for the user by default. Click a link on the page and the session is lost. Links sent through the chat don't add target=_blank, either; I'd imagine that the percentage of chat sessions terminated by accident is awfully high. In which case, in trying to help, the support rep is merely adding to the user's frustration.

And that's ignoring the users who get frustrated with the giant, in-your-face pop up. At least they don't have sound. Yet.
Wow.

Maybe this is just perception, but it seems like even if income is going up, quality is going down. Most people cannot own a home with a decent commute in a major city anymore and most of the things we own are mass produced, throw away crap.

For those unclear, the percentage is more than 100. Medicaid has long applied to people well above the federal poverty line, and in most places applies to people even further above it than before.
