(SF) If nothing else, Lisp was carefully defined in terms of Lisp.

(AK) Yes, that was the big revelation to me when I was in
graduate school—when I finally understood that the half
page of code on the bottom of page 13 of the Lisp 1.5
manual was Lisp in itself. These were “Maxwell’s
Equations of Software!” This is the whole world of
programming in a few lines that I can put my hand over.

in my taste the sugar beyond some concentration doesn't really taste that noticeably sweeter. I.e. i much enjoy typical soda (Coke/Pepsi/Sprite/etc) diluted 4-6x times with clear carbonated water (note - that dilution doesn't make a "Diet" version which seems to be another kind of poison). The amount of sugar in a regular Coke can - 10 tsp - looks outright scary to me (and that is speaking as a big carbohydrates eater - cakes, pastries, cookies, etc. in big amounts preferably from German or Russian stores :)

I suspect that i'm not unique in my sugar taste - at least whenever i see how people put sugar in their teas, coffees, etc i don't see much difference - and if tomorrow Coke gets produced with 4x less sugar i don't think most people would really notice taste-wise.
I recently switched over my side project's forms from traditional stateful forms to ones using react hooks. It's amazing at reducing noise in large forms that have tons of fields, nixed close to 500 lines of just handler code by switching over.

Great read, thanks for posting.

To me, one thing that's not being discussed much is that Europeans only settled in New Zealand around 200 years ago, pretty short in the history of humanity. You could ask the Maori people how they feel about Europeans showing up and taking their land and destroying their culture, yet they are not gunning us down in cold blood.
Good words. I attended university with Atta many years ago and we remained (distant) friends since. He was a legend back then as a CS:S player and a BMW enthusiast, and pretty good at our regular "Quake Breaks" as well.

His company LWA Solutions, that was born out of LazyWorm Apps, did some work for the company I work for. Atta in particular was a driving force behind some of their really cool innovations - in VR. He was one of the first people I knew of who was using a tablet as a mock UI sketchbook, and producing some really cool work despite the awful capacitive touch pens of the time.

It's so difficult to reconcile his murder. He was such a genuine guy with so much ahead of him, and I'm so sorry for his family.

Really like it so far.

I was a heavy pgAdmin3 user at $lastjob and the fact that clicking some elements would freeze it wasn't great. This looks to cache all details on connection.

The data view doesn't really work with very long text fields, maybe allowing users to edit those in a panel or modal could help UX.

Also, it doesn't really handles schemas, just prepend those to the table name, instead of treating it like a "folder". Schemas have permissions so we need to "see" those.

With the great hole that pgAdmin4 left, and with DataGrip being more on the heavy side, I think this app can grab a good share of users.

Good work!
In places with rent control, having a tenant reduces the value of the home. Sometime substantially if their rent is locked at a low rate.

It’s not unusual to buy tenants out in SF before putting the home on the market. Spend $50k to get them to leave and the value of the home goes up $200k.

If you know you’re going to sell in a few years, basically the value of the rent (adjusting for buyout) is way less than the incremental profit from selling an empty building.
No offence, but it seems to me you want to see "Islam" and "the West" as a conflict. Maybe that story of Islam and the West in conflict has been manufactured, and your response (like many others') is desired by, and plays into the hands of, those who benefit from manufacturing conflict.

Whenever I hear a number of gigaflops or terraflops, I like to look up the history of super computers [0]. This $99 computer is faster (on paper) than the world's fastest supercomputer in 1996, or a bit over 20 years ago. That's pretty cool.

Why is it called a ‘circuit party’?
If the leasor finds the business too difficult to do within the law then they should change businesses. That's how a healthy market works. In a normal, healthy industry, they would simply go bankrupt selling to those who can.

But in this case, it's possible to sit on land with out utilizing it and actually gain wealth solely because of flaws in that market were land price raises due to other forces than their productive worth. Speculation, persons hiding money from their dubious governments, political influence etc. Sitting on under utilized land is as unproductive as paying people to not grow crops. Even more so since at least in agriculture this, very occasionally, makes sense.

In addition in a growth area, much of the wealth created by those who developed it goes to those that impeded the development. This is exactly the wrong incentives, moving reward from the productive to the counter productive.

So since the market is so seriously broken, producing a dangerous drag on the economy by making labor less and less mobile, there is no choice but to fix it with financial incentives and disincentives.
The change review interface is awful: no way to indicate when its done and needs to be cycles from either end. I loathe the way in which navigating histories and contexts for changes don't work: if I want to search for a past change by commit message it is grep time.

Because the consequences of claiming these things but actually not doing them would be both prohibitively large and impossible to avoid in a large company with a history of whistleblowing employees.
This is because government does not have the right to punish people by association. It's an unfortunate consequence of freedom principles: Bad things can happen, and you can work to prevent bad things from happening, but you must be extremely judicious in how you do so or you fall into tyranny.

So very often the only thing to actually do is punish those responsible for bad things, sadly after the bad thing has already occurred.

I understand. I cried like four times writing the article. I almost gave up several times (especially near the start), because the more I read about him, the more I realized I was utterly unqualified to do him justice with my words. The only thing that kept me going was how much I wanted to tell people his story.

The amount of comments I've received since, with people telling me how much of an impact his story had on them, it's been more touching, more humbling and more rewarding than anything I ever could have expected.
It absolutely is in places like SF.
That is interesting. I looked at my missed calls and they are all either my local area code or 866. It makes me want to swap my mobile number for one from, say, Hawaii, which I doubt I ever get a legitimate call from, then filter out that area code. Looks like it might work.
> Seems it really isn't worth the effort or the risk to try and tease apart the two

Yes. It is.
Problem solving doesn't work like that. Many comparable issues have been found and solved by different people at different times, in parallel, unknown to each other.

With as many people as we have on Earth it is unlikely that one special unique problem can only be solved by one special unique person. While it might happen, it's unlikely to happen to a software developer at a small company. The problems and solutions you find there are often relatively comparable or even generic, and are found and solved by many people in parallel at the same time. While working together might be faster, it has nothing to do with the feasibility of detecting and repairing issues.
yep, he wasn't poor or vulnerable.
Those are file formats, as in both epub and PDF live outside of web (need to download etc.). Superbook format on the other hand lives on web. Each Superbook is a website. Huge difference!

PDFs are a skeuomorphic parallel of formatting that's natural to physical paper where as Superbooks adopt narrow column formatting of pure web with styling that scales responsively. Then there are granular differences in accessibility, new possibilities in layouts and content (webgl, AR/VR, CSS3, canvas art etc.), responsiveness, offline-first nature, iPad-first approach and usage of git for collaboration under the hood and a modern browser for final consumption.

To sum it up: Superbooks follow the most common convention and definition of a book. It is more 'consumer ready' than anything else on market.

> but one with strong layout and referential accessibility of page numbers would be even better!

Page numbers are a small additional value; pagination comes for free with print so it's an easy fallback, but there's a reason why content that is most intensely dependent on referential accessibility, like codified laws, doesn't rely on it.

> I think we need page-wise referencing on novels and prose fiction too.

It's of some use for criticism, but criticism isn't the purpose of most prose fiction. It's certainly not needed for reading, and resizability does more for the primary use than page numbering. (Of course, if you really need it, “referencde page numbering” of the type used in presentations of paginated content where page number references are commonly used like the Federal Register or court decisions when reproduced in contexts with different than source (or no) pagination can be used.)

> Reflow otherwise has always been a bane of _all_ digital books because it wasn't possible to scale content without leaving room for it.

I've seen plenty of books that aren't prose fiction that work well with reflow; PragProg epubs are particularly good that way.

> That's also the raison d'etre for other "non-web" formats, digital stores and even hardware to exist.

No, it's not; even to the extent reflow is a problem for some content, PDF had total-layout-control solved before any of the alternatives, and ePubs had strict pagination and layout control as an option since 3.0; the reason for the alternatives seem to be the same reasons for any other content toolchain, distribution, and consumption ecosystem walled-garden—it's not about serving a market need, it's about capturing a market segment and creating a cost to switch out so that you can charge monopoly rents.
I appreciate these comments from the people who knew him more than anything else. Thank you for your words and I'm so sorry for your loss.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned China here.

I was recently able to travel to China for the first time and was fascinated to learn about their housing market. Apparently the Chinese government doesn't have a property tax.

For men in China, owning a home is already incredibly important. It's practically a requirement for getting married, to the point where a woman's family would almost certainly disapprove of a marriage if the man doesn't own a home (which, keep in mind, would be called an apartment in the US). So that coupled with China's huge population means there's already a major demand for owning a home.

China is also experiencing incredible economic growth. Local governments are pouring money into "economic development areas" where you can find modern shopping malls, skyscrapers for businesses, and lots and lots and lots of (what we would call) apartment buildings.

And this isn't just happening in Beijing or Shanghai. There are "tier 3" cities in China with populations the size of LA and NY where you see clusters of dozens and dozens of 40-50 story apartment buildings shooting up.

I was told that the value of homes in these economic development areas -- even in "tier 3" cities -- is going up by an absolute minimum of 10-15%/yr (that's being conservative). So if you have money in China, of course you invest in housing. There's no property tax.

When I see these clusters of apartment buildings popping up all over the country, I really wonder how many people are actually living in them, and how many are just getting turned around year after year for a profit. Chinese people have an unfathomable amount of trust in their government (from a westerner's perspective), so when I asked some friends about this, their response was basically, the government will take care of it. Regardless, very interesting place!

It’s sad how people with herpes go full DARVO against anyone who dares to get upset after being infected by them. You seem to be one of those people, seeing as how you have all of these talking points ready to fire off in your defense and to calm the nerves of your latest victim. I almost wonder whether these diseases evolved an ability to directly manipulate the host’s brain to become comfortable with consciously spreading the disease to the innocent. It would explain why you all do it so remorselessly and with such cavalier enthusiasm.

So much mumbo jumbo that says absolutely nothing.
At some point in the future there could be sentient technology that we communicate with.

It seems to me that there could be flashes of sentience in technology that occur well before that time..before we understand that there's someone listening. That would be a lonely lot indeed.
It’s 2019. Why has Apple/Android not added the ability to reject (or at least send directly to voice mail) all calls outside of contacts, and make this the default setting?

Seems like this would solve almost all of these problems.

Do people actually look at what's on the new tab page?

Now? No. Every browser I use is configured to show about:blank as the new tab page.

If I had an extension showing me cognitive biases, or Emacs tips? Maybe. Hard to say without trying it out.
No. People don't care about right or wrong on the abstract. As long as science is producing for them, they'll believe it. When it's not, others will attempt to penetrate the market.

Right now science is automating their jobs, nagging them about driving their cars (CO2), and generally making the world complicated. Others tell them that it's someone else's fault, and all they need is the will to attack that enemy. Science has no counterpoint to this marketing message. So why buy into a product that doesn't tell you it has a solution to your problems?

Science isn't producing, so the ever-fickle public looks for market competition.

I really liked the article/blog post "Knowing About Biases Can Hurt People"[1]. I think many people are hurt by their own knowledge of biases: they weaponize this knowledge in arguments, to try and discredit others, rather than using it to reach better conclusions themselves.

If you get the former without the latter, all that means is you're better at defending the positions you happened to reach: you're just as likely to reach wrong conclusions, but are now less likely to correct them. You shot yourself in the foot.

Unfortunately, it's a lot easier to spot biases in other people's arguments that you disagree with, than it is in any arguments you do disagree with.

If you want to get better at critical reasoning skills, I think it's a lot more productive to start with Bayes' rule. Learning 100 ways to not build a light bulb may help, but getting just 1 correct blue print would help a whole lot more.

Let's go back to DDT; it worked well. No link to cancer. It is widely speculated that banning DDT caused more deaths than Hitler.

It wasn't perfect, but western moral imperialism and the corresponding pressure forced the third world to give up use of a lifesaving pesticide. Malaria killed more than DDT by far, and it was wrong to jump to conclusions.

Maybe it's time for me to sell. I've had their stocks since IPO. The only reason why I'm holding on is because they could be potential buyout candidate. Their current valuation is pretty silly, but then again, it's always been pretty silly.
It looks like the VSCode extension version is missing the connection and object explorer that the standalone app contains. That's unfortunate.

A few other issues:

Creating a connection from the command palette can not use a non-default port. You'll need to edit the settings file by hand to change that.

Currently no support for SSH tunnels (unless you launch a tunnel yourself from a terminal). I've opened a GitHub issue for that support.

When running a query it keeps asking me for a username for the connection, even though the username is configured in the connection profile.

I currently use datagrip, but I'd much prefer to stay within the vscode interface rather than switching between the two, as I'm much more familiar with the vscode keyboard shortcuts and command palette. It's never really obvious which connection a datagrip "console" is attached to.
"Amelco" seems too much like an initialism of "American Electronics Company" to be a coincidence. Although I can find a lot of old data about Philbrick (e.g. www.philbrickarchive.org ), Amelco seems more elusive and the only reference to any sort of catalog from them I could find is https://www.abebooks.com/first-edition/Amelco-Data-Book-Volu...
I don't think so - phi nodes solve the "problem" of expressing a value in SSA one-definition form, when that value is control-flow dependent. But this is really an artifact of SSA form.

This seems like a much weirder problem, in which the optimizer is unaware of control flow and so will allow a value to reference an instruction that does not dominate it.

LLVM's IR verifier ensures that instructions dominate all of their uses, which simply means that all users of an instruction must provably execute after that instruction. This verification step seems to be what's missing.
Mainline Linux will run but all the fancy stuff won't work. They ship 4.9 kernel which is two years old (though it's LTS). After all it's just a standard ARM board with a fancy GPU and peripherals.
If the law is written in such a way that it disincentivizes people from conducting business (to the point where they would prefer instead to cease conducting business and lose money), then perhaps the law should be reconsidered because it's a bad law?

Tenants rights laws in a lot of Europe are just plain ridiculous, and I can fully sympathize with property owners that would prefer to leave their property vacant instead of leasing it to a tenant-squatter.
