thank you. It is such a great service to the community around the language.

If I may, i would like to ask if there are any AI/numerics libraries that are available in clojure, that are also exposed and working via clojurescript.

I want to allow my users to write 'snippets' of instructions in a custom DSL, that get translated into some numeric, in the area of matrix functs, CAS, and a PDE solver.

Similar like core.logic works with clojurescript.

I had to look it up, paraphrasing from the article below, z is the cosmological redshift, indicating the recession velocity of the object. So smaller z values mean closer, large values mean higher, and the farther away it is the faster it is moving away.

It's worse than that. A cargo cult, at least, observes something they desire and tries to recreate the environment they assume created that desired outcome. But IT management observes nothing positive from open offices. Only because IT at other companies are going open office, they feel they must follow suit, because if they don't, they'll be seen by other IT fashionistas as being "out of fashion" -- damn the torpedoes.

Perhaps the better matching myth is the Emperor's New Clothes:

> I know zero about politics but... why don't citizens get presented a list of what each candidate supports, where there is overlap between candidates, and where there is disagreement?

Who compiles that list, and on what information is it based?

> when we as citizens are supposed to, at the root, be voting on what policies they believe in

Well, for one thing, that's not what a lot of people (including the founders) think/thought voters are supposed to be voting on; representative democracy is not just a hack around the logistical impracticality of direct voting on all issues, but a means of selecting people with the skill and character to find good answers to questions that the electorate may not anticipate and most members would lack either the time or the skill to find a good answer even if they did have a direct vote.
This essay introduces what promise a broad-based capital
strategy—trusts serving platform users—might hold for the
online economy, especially as an enabler of more widespread,
organized, and democratic user accountability. It draws on
lessons from the experience of employee ownership alongside
emerging opportunities for other kinds of broad-based ownership
structures. User-oriented trusts could enable meaningful
co-governance and profit sharing among essential stakeholders, a
prospect that merits research and experimentation.
Packet radio has made some progress since the 80s :). Here in North Carolina we have a network called TARPN http://tarpn.net/t/packet_radio_networking.html. We use re-purposed commercial radios, RaspberryPis, and custom TNCs for 1200 baud packet links. Some folks are experimenting with higher speed links (9600).

These ISM modules will work on low power for close range links, but you can't just slap an amplifier and call it a day. There are regulatory issues with the tech they use (spread spectrum, wide bandwidth, encryption, etc).
This guy has plenty of concrete advice:

https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/category/mmm-classics/

It is very similar to "workout, eat right, sleep enough, drink enough water", as they are things that "everyone" knows they should do, but few have the will power and self discipline to actually do them.

Budget. Get your expenses under your income. Set aside an emergency fund. Pay off your debts as quickly as possible. Then start investing for retirement, house, kids college, etc. While avoiding new debt.

That's pretty much it. Dave Ramsey and many other advisers say roughly the same thing, including the introduction to Barnum's book:

http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/www/barnum/moneygetting/money...

Ramsey pretty much says this stuff is simple in his course, and spends most of his time on the emotional and motivational aspects of putting the advice into practice. For example, he advocates paying off your smallest debt first, not the one with the highest interest rate. This is solely for the motivational impact, because seeing a debt disappear completely will inspire you to keep going and attack the next one, even if it's sub-optimal from an economic perspective.
The app requires an active number in order to use the service. This number is submitted to the database during the verification process. To my knowledge, mthere is no way around this.

I actually find Clojure's `doto` notation to be the cleanest way to interact pure Java. It's like an improved syntax for Java that's native in Clojure.
IMHO what it comes down to is that "Democracy" has become our national religion. Not in the general sense of rule by the people, but the specific implementation wherein everybody picks and votes their yes/no option. Poor results can never be attributed to the abstract ideal itself, but rather can only be due to a lack of adherence to the process. So it is paramount that everybody adopts an opinion, no matter how ill-informed.

Refraining to take part in that (or even worse being a spoil sport) is met with the same disdain as naysaying at any celebration. It's the difference between someone saying they root for a different team or saying they don't care much for baseball - the latter is going to sour the conversation pretty quick. At least with sports it's clear that the outcome is essentially frivolous.
Perhaps this is a useful exaggeration to make a point, but taken at face value it's simply nuts.

How much does your company compensate for patents?
I was reading this submission last night, and it made me wonder, what are other companies paying for patents?

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19477559

My company does not compensate for patents. I have worked for other large corporations, which have paid in multiple stages:

1) Patent proposal ($1k if the invention has novelty)
2) Patent filing submission ($2-$3k)
3) Patent issue ($3-$5k)

What does your company do and what do you think of employers that do not compensate for patent submissions?
I've been quite happy with Restic, doing always-incremental encrypted backups to S3.
>But on the other, if you believe that no one cares about X, then you are less likely to begin creating X.

That's an added benefit. We have too much X already.

If someone is so easily dissuaded, then them backing out and reducing total X is for the better. Let's just those who absolutely can't do without creating X, create X.

You'd be surprised, in my experience, most jobs aren't flexible on schedule or understanding when you have regular doctors appointments. Chronic medical conditions and disabilities can require many regular appointments. I have 2-3 appointments a month and that doesn't include any physical therapy I might have. My Dad has multiple appointments per week usually. Luckily I found a job that let's me work my schedule around my appointments.

Ah. For some reason I remembered 'fascism' rather than 'totalitarianism' however the former is an example of the latter.

Totalitarianism is just as bad.

A totalitarian system is, by definition, total -- reaching, by centralized force and authority, into the political, economic, cultural, etc.

There is no centralized power dictating "work" as our culture, our politics, etc.

To call "work" totalitarian is somewhat helpfully revealing of the common mistake ideologues make: narrativizing the world. Turning systems into stories, forces into people.

There is no person dictating work, so there is no totalitarianism. To think as if there were is to turn society into a conspiracy. One may as well call gravity totalitarian.

We make economic promises to each other, and from this arises work.
Yes, they certainly are a debt, but they are, in general, considered a "good debt." Educational debt and business startup debt are also, in general, considered "good debt."

https://www.investopedia.com/articles/pf/12/good-debt-bad-de...

That being said, it's a general statement, specific cases of those can be "bad debts" if they are taken out recklessly and/or without forethought and planning and budgeting.
That kind of self-teaching worked for me for junk food (for which I have told myself since childhood would make me nauseous) but not coffee (for which I have mostly been telling myself it would make me warm and happy, which it does). Now I have been low-key trying to, if not quit coffee, at least make myself able to stop after a while.

I've tried telling myself coffee would make my heart hurt/race uncomfortably (as an added bonus, it actually does after a while). But mostly thinking about coffee makes me want more coffee, even if it's negative.

I've tried redirecting my good feelings to something else by telling myself exercise would make me feel warm, good and alert. It works. Now I exercise AND drink too much coffee. OTOH I've never had problems motivating myself to exercise (which I do daily) so I guess... partial win?

The root of the problem is that the environmental costs of producing difficult-to-recycle plastic are not being paid by the manufacturers. A solution is to make manufacturers internalize those costs: require a deposit or fee for every gram of plastic manufactured or imported. Scale the fee to cover the actual cost of recycling.

Manufacturers that start to use more environmentally-friendly materials will have lower costs, and will be able to sell their products at a lower price, leading to more market share. There will still be some use of difficult- or impossible-to-recycle plastics, but we as a society can express our distaste for storing garbage by adjusting the fees.
As the GP to that reply, I agree. Wasn't my intent to imply otherwise. I should have been more precise in my reply.
Liability is still clear, and in the specific case of medical practice, a degree of "we can't foresee everything" is implicit in that our understanding of the governing principles of the human body is incomplete.

Aviation does not have that excuse. The 737 MAX 8 system description is enumerated from the ground up. Seeing as there was so much recertification effort that didn't need to be done, it makes the failure to properly handle the MCAS implementation all the more damning.

This wasn't some subtle bug. This was an outright terrible design choice. Anyone with any experience composing complex systems out of smaller functional building blocks should have been able to look at the outputs, look at the inputs, and realize there was the potential for catastrophic malfunction.

As I've said elsewhere, automation should make flying a plane easier when functional. When non-functional, however, the pilot should still be able to salvage the plane. That requires clear communication of what automation does, and what it's failure modes are.

I'd like to focus on the fact that this required orders of magnitude less effort than designing a web site, and most importantly – the presentation did not suffer. There were no compromises to be made.

Some have mentioned that this lacks functionality, but I'm having a hard time imagining what that might be. Maybe mobile-readiness, in that it's preformatted. Considering that this is a Unix-y tool for power-users, I think it's ok to expect them to read this on a PC.

DesignOps Handbook
In The Count of Monte Cristo, the Count ruins Danglers' fortune via bond market manipulation per his revenge plans. One of the ways he keeps track of how the ruination progress is via Danglers' own words. At first, Danglers boasts loudly in parties about how much he has lost, but eventually he is cowed and no longer talks about money or his fortune. The Count keep track of his boisterousness as a barometer of his revenge and it's progress.

Its a great book and well worth the read, despite it's size.
I think it's terrible advice.

Do what brings the most value to others, that you have the talents to accomplish, and that you also enjoy doing. I think the intersection of those sets is the most likely place to find one's "purpose".

There are plenty of things you might "love" to do, that will leave you destitute and unfulfilled if you devote your life to doing them.

The reason it's more reliable, in my experience, is that direct impingement system introduces a shit load of fouling into your chamber and all the moving parts. After about 1k rounds, that bolt starts to move slowly from all the fouling, then you'll start to experience inconsistent feeding / ejecting. It's a shitty system and it's about time they've done something about it. The traditional fix is to dump a load of CLP into the rifle...which attracts sand and dust.

Sounds like an urban legend, but I hope it's true.
I saw that, but given iOS worldwide market share, I find it very hard to believe.
from compiler's point of view, C++ doesn't really added that much features, and quite stable. imho i believe the C++ ISO committee does consider the possibilities compiler writers are able to implement these features.
e.g lambda expression, there's always operator() overloaded available in C++98; Variable template, only allowed in namespace, aka. static member data member in template type;
CTAD, take template function argument deduce mechanism and wrap-up for ya; auto, same as template argument, and C++'s template argument is the same as C's typedef, etc.
that is to say, to some extend, C++'s features are also written in C++. The new idea could think of is the r-value type, which invented to trigger move constructor, again, using the existing function overloading mechanism to do the job. This maybe not engineering friendly which the writer has to manually nullify the moved object's internal pointers as for Rust just using type system to prevent you from using it.
I'll believe it when I see it. So far none of the website builders, low code platforms, rapid app development tools, etc. made a dent, and not for lack of trying.

>> the entire opensource community is based on sharing

True. The primary purpose of open source is sharing, whether that is code or information. Open source is not opposed to making money, however making money is not the primary motivation for open source. It makes sense that best practices for how to make money can be different than the standard practices for open source.

Which Countries Are Set to Attract the Highest Skilled Workers from Abroad?
It's been a good while since I read any of Smullyan's work, but I kinda want to say that the entirety of This Book Needs No Title, along with at least one of his other philosophy books (and maybe some parts of his logic puzzle books) does a pretty good job of expanding on that last line.
I loved the promise of Apple News, but in my experience it’s been pretty bad. As much as I try to curate it, it’s full of clickbait and topics I’m not interested in (really, Kylie Jenner posted a photo of her butt on Instagram and we need a news headline about it?).
