SICP is a great way to learn lisp and learning macros by extending the evaluator is a natural progression.

I don't care how many lisp experts are "correcting" me on the way it works in the real world, because:

a) I actually do understand how they're implemented in existing production lisps. No, really. I am not confused. In my own toy lisp compiler, I rely on first class macros and am attempting (and so far failing) to use partial evaluation to make the implementation cost somewhat sane. I am under no illusions this is normal.

b) Being an expert doesn't automatically make you good at teaching (often the correlation is reversed), and the article being commented on was a tutorial on macros.

The smug lisp weenie trope exists for a reason, and it's that the lisp community is too busy falling over themselves to prove how smart they are with arcane knowledge to give a shit about the experience beginners face. Clojure gets no end of flak from CL users who bristle at the suggestion that it even be called a lisp, but the community actually gets it and does a great job of teaching.

I have an opinion on how best to teach macros. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's not a good idea to extend SICP with macros, or maybe there's a better way, and I'd love to hear arguments in those directions. But correcting it by explaining how they're implemented in CL is absolutely baffling to me.

> The three YouTube founders took home around $700M of YouTube's $1.65B sale.

$700 x 3 = $2.1B. I guess one of these numbers is wrong.
I would expect the same, at least for Lyft.

Uber is a bit of a different beast. It's valuated much higher, and it banked a lot of that valuation (in my perception at least) on the perspective of getting self-developed fully automated driving capability to the market and thus having an edge (and an actual moat) to be used to finally reach profitability by eliminating the costly drivers.

Thus I would expect its valuation to stay high for a while, but drop sharply as soon as the "fully automated driving is right around the corner" bubble pops for real.
If one is borrowing money at credit card level interest rates, the last thing they should be worry about is rewards, and the first thing is figuring out how to fix their cash flow so that they’re not paying credit card level interest rates.
I always think that even nurses that are relatively well paid are really underpaid for the job that they do. It is a highly stressful job doing a lot of really unpleasant things under difficult conditions. You have no real leeway for having a bad day -- people suffer if you don't perform. It requires a lot of study, experience and skill to do well. While computer programming is a scarce skill, in no way does it compare with the job of a nurse... and still there is no comparison in salary. And that's for nurses that are relatively well paid. The world really is unfair.
> and if that tool makes it harder for external contributors to contribute?

I hope so!

OpenSSH is a critical piece of infrastructure in most unix and linux environments, so making sure external contributors do some extra diligence seems like a good thing!
Humans are more important than money; that’s why we should spend the money on saving human lives in the developing world, not making the lives of already healthy, wealthy first world inhabitants slightly more comfortable, why we should spend it on investments in the future not hideously wasteful consumption in the present. If we’re going to spend the money that inefficiently give people a tax cut instead. There are many better ways to spend the money than a tax cut but preventive health care isn’t it.

If we want to improve health outcomes we could do many things more effective than increasing preventive care. Nurse practitioners cost half as much as doctors and are just as effective at primary care. That’s a genuine huge bang for the buck intervention that could be done and isn’t. Never mind preventive medicine. Do something that actually works instead.

Which hospital is nearest? Which can be reached within the self-driving capabilities of the car? Which has Advanced Cardiac Life Support staff and equipment? Which is still open? Which is not already handling another cardiac emergency? Which route has the least traffic?

Paramedics and EMTs can work these questions quickly and they have lights and sirens to get through traffic. Your car will probably google "hospitals" and (slowly) take you to the nearest one, which might be a closed methadone clinic.

In most cities, an ambulance is going to get to your car much quicker than your car would get you to an appropriate hospital. A modern ACLS rescue unit is effectively a heart hospital on wheels. So calling 911 brings the hospital to you, without putting anybody else on the road in danger from your car's not-yet-quite-ready-for-unsupervised-operation autopilot software.
Here in Italy in order to subscribe to a gym you need to bring your ECG (not mandatory by law but a number of gyms will ask for it), and every year you need to make a new one, so I would say that the percentage of "active" population that is not regularly checked is small. How is this matter in the rest of the world?

There's a subset of LLVM-IR that IS platform independent. PNacl, and many others rely on this.

The reason for wasm's victory is two found:

1. WASM is a stack based VM (LLVM IR is register based). Additionally, instructions chosen for wasm were inspired by the byte code representation used in existing JS JIT compilers. This meant that WASM almost fit effortlessly into the browser compiler pipeline. Compare this to adding the LLVM jit engine that the nacl philosophy uses. WASM was easier to implement. Stack based VMs are also (apparently) easier to sandbox, with a significantly lower attack surface

2. Firefox was philosophically against nacl/PNacl. Considering how Webview Safari eventually chose LLVM jit for it's JS JIT, as of 2019, PNacl would probably have won, given Microsoft (chromium edge), Google and Safari all support LLVM jit anyways.

2. for many reasons (and completeness is one) the machine cannot prove the next version is better, thus must discard it

I think the key is to establish an unassailable logistics network. Once enough drivers, passengers, and other users (delivery, etc.) use either service, it becomes a pretty big moat.

Its only an issue when it doesn't work, and for rails it basically always works. In 4 years using rails the only time I have ever had to read the source was to find an undocumented feature in Active Storage which had only just came out.
>I'm also dubious about the "format" used - the python tool we had been using, and the new shell tool I wrote to replace it, both just read regular SQL files in a series of directories (one called `up.sql` and one called `down.sql`).

This is something I considered, whereby the revisions themselves would be stored in `up`, and `down` directories beneath the revisions directory itself. It would make things even more transparent I suppose when it comes to integrating with other SQL tooling, instead of having to rely on some ad-hoc DSL. However, I chose to use the special format because for me, I found it simpler to work with, each revision is its own SQL file, and for the size of the revisions I was writing this suits me fine.

>As with the python tool we had been using, this doesn't appear to support SSL connections for mysql/postgresql?

Yes, unfortunately. I will need to look into testing this, as it was something I overlooked. For my use case specifically I was simply using it against local databases, and yes that does make for a weak excuse as to why SSL is not supported.

>Anyway, good luck with it. Ultimately these tools usually come about to solve some problem or scratch some itch, so I hope your itch is scratched!

Essentially, I wanted something simple that read in plain SQL and kept a log of what had been performed. Though with what you said about using separate `up`/`down` files for the respective directions would make things far simpler than they currently are.

For this to work the revisions would need to be changed from standalone SQL files, to actual directories themselves. Not that big of an issue, but perhaps something I will look into. Ideally I want this tool to play nice with other tools in regards to the data it produces.

Well the labor market was certainly less free, for one :)

It's worth knowing that the south was once considerably richer than the north, but industrialisation changed things in the 19th C, by the end of which the north was vastly richer (per capita), richer than anywhere had ever been before. In this sense free capitalism did vastly outcompete an unfree economy.

That's a nice, negative outlook and seeing as this is based on personal observation (ie anecdotes) and you made a grand sweeping statement: It's not hard to see that you are wrong if you've spent any time interacting with someone on the spectrum that has found a spot in society they fit into.

I'd say that this is no different for neurotypical people. If you find a good place where you can work and someone can pay you for it, and you can furnish your life in such a way that it doesn't clash with you, then you will be happy. Your premise that it compares at all to something that gives someone constant low-key pain is spurious and does a disservice to the fine human beings it refers to.
Israel used to be this way and it used to be a requirement by the government (not an ECG but a doctor note). Like a lot of other regulation it made it less likely for people to work out.

Plastics burns and releases a lot of energy during that process. In that regard its energy density is similar to wood. The problem is that compared with cellulose the life has not figured out how to harvest the energy of plastic oxidation at the room temperature. But there is no law that prevents that.

Given that amount of plastic waste that humans put into the ocean is already on the scale comparable with a mass of a lot of fish species, an organism that can consume it can have a nice evolutionary advantage.

Django channels sounds like a great idea and I really like the conceptual step it made with ASGI, but in practice I found it to be riddled with problems.

For instance, the posix IPC implementation of ASGI is very buggy and "not officially supported". The other implementation uses Redis (so, yet another component to take care of) and is quite brittle as well. We've noticed severe slowdowns of downloading images when using the Daphne web server in development mode, many issues running out of memory, clogged queues and so on. This is also very difficult to debug, due to the many moving parts, and of course it only happens on production, so good luck trying to reproduce it locally.

For this project (which is still in production), we ended up falling back to a standard Gunicorn web server setup using traditional WSGI to handle regular HTTP traffic, and relying on channels only for websockets. For new projects, we've moved to a tiny standalone gevent-based websockets server (https://pypi.org/project/high-templar/) which we deploy next to a standard gunicorn stack. It is much simpler and much more stable. Unfortunately, it's something we've developed in-house, so if there are issues we have to fix them ourselves. There've been some problems with gevent which apparently have been fixed in the latest git repo, but there hasn't been a release since last year. So many issues....

>Investigators at first believed Mr. Martin might be the Shadow Brokers, who had posted their first announcement of their auction of N.S.A. hacking tools a half-hour after Mr. Martin blocked the two Kaspersky workers on Twitter. They found the same N.S.A. exploits in Mr. Martin’s vast collection of stolen material.

>But the Shadow Brokers continued to post taunting manifestoes and stolen software for months after Mr. Martin was jailed.

The truth is sometimes stranger than fiction.

Also, I wouldn't doubt that the guy really was just an eccentric hoarder, Russian intelligence knew about it, and set about framing him via the Kaspersky/Twitter angle as a means to sew confusion as cover for their Shadow Brokers heist.

Has he ever actually admitted the Twitter activity was him? It's not a stretch to imagine his home network being compromised just for that purpose. Forensically undetectable frame jobs are very possible if it's a nation state actor doing the framing.

> Switzerland

I moved from the US to Switzerland. The systems can't be compared.

Yes Switzerland has private insurers but the industry is highly regulated:

- Costs of medications and procedures are regulated and capped.

- There's a mandatory level of insurance everyone must have. This covers basically everything except dental.

- The pricing of this mandatory insurance has a cap based on age (younger people pay less), location and deductible (the max deductible is 2500 CHF).

- The excess is capped at 700 CHF/yr (i.e. the max you ever pay in a year is premiums + deductible + 700).

- This mandatory insurance cannot be denied.

- This insurance costs ~230 CHF/month on the low end (from https://www.priminfo.admin.ch/de/praemien)

- (Not related to insurers): If you have very low income, you can receive government assistance with which you can pay for insurance.

As an Australian, the Swiss system feels much closer to the single payer end of the spectrum than the free for all of America.
