First, in Scheme, vectors are not made of cons cells.

Second, in Clojure, you can certainly make lists, trees etc. from cons cells. It's just that vectors and maps are more common.

Third, Clojure is not only a Lisp (https://clojure.org/about/lisp), but an exceptionally good one at that. I'm amazed that some people find that controversial. I love Scheme and Clojure, and the thought that they're not both Lisps -- something immediately obvious to any long-time Lisper like me -- strikes me as patently bizarre. Clojure is not only a very good Lisp, but celebrated among Lispers for facilitating Lisp's rise in popularity in recent years.
i am ok with cars collecting metrics about my car and improving safety. But I am not ok with car collecting info about my children.

Author( and you ) are conflating all of it and calling it "data". I have no idea which cars companies are collecting data about my children. Do you?

Spinning this into "they are coming for your children" is totally disgusting.

Even the line you quoted is dishonest

> And we know they have the ability to sell it to third parties they might choose. Indeed, Ford’s chief executive, Jim Hackett, has spoken in detail about the company’s plans to monetize car data.

Here is the exact quote

"We know what people make. How do we know that? It's because they borrow money from us. And when you ask somebody what they make, we know where they work, you know. We know if they're married. We know how long they've lived in their house because these are all on the credit applications. We've never ever been challenged on how we use that. And that's the leverage we got here with the data."

This has nothing to do with data collected by cars. Yes loan applications data should be regulated for privacy but that irrelevant to topic under discussion. Loan application data is not "car data".

Also,Jim Hackett did not mention anything about selling data yet putting those to lines together and using the word 'Indeed' sounds like monetize here means ford plans to sell( info about your children) to third parties. Infact its already might be illegal to sell that data [1].

Why so dishonest?

Apple should really consider including AppleCare+ in these top end machines, particularly given the quality issues of the current model. Apple should provide some indication of confidence in their own workmanship. Or their confidence in their Foxconn quality control commitments. Don’t push that uncertainty off on the customer.

I love my 2016 MacBook Pro (touchbar is not great but kinda neat, I’ve replaced my usb-b->a to usb b->c cables so only need a dongle to travel, I can fly on the keyboard IFF my fingernails are trimmed very tight (lol), screen is great, sound is great, it’s fast as hell).

However, as you can see in my comment history, I’ve had substantial issues with keyboard and screen outside of warranty. Apple, fortunately and rightfully, has completely taken care of it; but I had several days of consternation while I had to wait and see what Apple decided to do. Makes me really think twice spending a lot on a new one.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but can't your ISP only see that you're requesting reddit.com, as long as you're using https? Now sure, if you go to lsd.reddit.com, it can be logged as a subdomain, but anything beyond reddit.com shouldn't be viewable by your ISP.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't use tor, just that as far as I understand, the whole request, including path and method, is encrypted over tls/ssl after your browser establishes a tcp connection to the server.
There's also DMG-LIB[0] and KMODDL[1] which contain mechanism animations along with CAD models of some mechanisms. It's been mentioned before, but thang010146's youtube channel also has many of these mechanisms, sometimes they even have CAD models available of their models.

I was asked to do something very similar at a film post production facility for credits. Essentially I was given a day and a half to reconcile spreadsheets of crew member names (compiled by department HODs) with their "credit name" on our employee database in order to create a master for the production company.

I had all kinds of issues - variations of names, mispelled names, nicknames, names with the middle name used as a surname (and vice versa) and a few lacking even that. I recall leaning heavily on tables of common names, various Python string normalisation methods as well as soundex. In the end I was left with a dozen or so names which needed follow up but it was pretty good for the ~1000 I had started with initially.

The most harrowing part of it all was attending the crew screening - it is actually possible to address issues on an end crawl (provided you catch it early enough) but I really didn't want to be the guy who screwed up the credit of someone who had just spent the previous three months in crunch to get the picture out the door.
I'd agree with you... but on some routes (note I'm in Europe) there is only one carrier, and only 1-2 flights per day. So that choice could mean the difference between flying and not flying. With such stark choices, I suspect convenience and/or necessity would win out quite quickly.

I don't think this 99% figure is true based on my personal experiences, but even if it was accurate a few months ago it's not anymore. People sure as hell are paying attention to which plane they fly on now, because they have to.

It wasn't really a concern in the past because Boeing and the FAA didn't appear to be failing. They have impressive mountains of data that they hid behind while just operating with staggering negligence and incompetence, day after day.

I don't care how many agencies certify the max, I know way too much about it's design and how much pilots hate it now, I'm never flying on it.

Just wow. Is ARM doing its share of anticipatory obedience?

China is not going to keep still. My expectation is that they will support Huawei (and other chinese companies) in a big way to establish alternatives to ARM, Android, Windows (?) and other technologies missheld from them.

Copyright is being used similar to DRM. Companies will take notice. This promises to be good for Open Source, perhaps also Open Hardware.

That is extremely surprising to me. I've worked (and do work) in the auto industry and didn't think that anyone would pay for such an accurate weight measurement.
Misconceptions mostly. Java developers are some of the most conservative developers around.

And there you have the answer to why Java hasn't evolved that much, or when it did, why it needed to care deeply about backwards compatibility at the source level. It's because Java developers want it that way.

The irony is that people are now abusing "aspects" and "dependency injection" via frameworks like Spring that bring everything but the kitchen sink, but then the language becomes effectively dynamic, as via those annotations all static type safety goes out the window.

Therefore I find it interesting when Java developers complain about Var, because the ecosystem has in my opinion bigger problems. Compared with annotations Var isn't a problem because Var is statically checked, so here we have a clear case of missing the forest from the trees.

Ask HN: Why do people use TM when talking about non-trademarked terms?
I have noticed with a fair amount of frequency people will commonly say things like "...It Just Works (TM)..." or, from a post today, "...real (TM) open source...". I see this here on HN, Reddit, and Stack Overflow.

What is the purpose of this? I assume it is similar to people starting sentences with "I mean..." or ending statements with question marks that are not questions (e.g., "I use this technology all the time?"). I do not understand what effect is trying to be achieved by this usage. Is it emphasis? If so, why not use underscores, which are used in Markdown to achieve the same?

Edit: added sites where I commonly see this idiom.

Yeah, that’s the case with any coherently designed language or software package. I don’t really have a problem with it. Now that they’ve come up with a workable module system, the issues of it coming from Googleworld are minimal. I don’t personally care about generics, and I like the error system so I find Go to be a great language to work in.

But that’s all just my personal opinions. What I found interesting was the callout of OpenJDK as a community-run language, but is it? I feel like OpenJDK is the worst of both worlds. Too much corporate overhang, and all the worst aspects of design by committee. But YMMV.

I didn't say I wanted it to happen. I personally got into movies as 10-11 year old watching Jackie Chan and other Asian kungfu movies with subs. So watching movies with subs is natural for me for many others it is not so and trying to read subs while watching might not be fun. As long as I have the choice to watch in the original language with subs I really don't care.
Doesn't surprise me, you are not alone in this as others who have used classic VB do not really see the difference between classic VB and VB.NET and to some extent not even (most of) Microsoft seems to get what makes classic VB special :-P. However i'm not sure how i could describe it better than the last paragraph in my reply above as to me the difference between the two is day and night.

It is kinda similar to not understanding how something like a jury rigged Vim with a GDB, file list manager and ctags parser differs from a real IDE even after having used the latter.

I've lived in London for 10 years too. Visiting the US does not mean living in it...

- Netflix, in the UK due to licensing is a poorer subset of content.

- There are much better choices of food options available in the US compared to the UK.

- No, literally everywhere. I know many developers [around the US] who know either just PHP or Node and have $100k positions. Try living outside of London, you'd be lucky just to earn £30k.

- Outside of London a car is a necessity, the Tube does not exist outside of London. Not everyone wants to live where anyway. Try seeing the other parts of the UK for instance. You'll be shocked just how bad the public transport is.

- [Second Amendment] Nope, but how many stabbings have there been so far this year? Oh and gun crime is on the rise. Oh wait we don't have guns. Yeah I forgot.

- [First Amendment] We don't have comparable laws. Just how many times have Police interviewed people at their home for posting things on Twitter that [other] people found offensive. Even though they weren't.

- The safety net for a single man in the UK is a pittance. We don't all have mortgages and kids. Having a poor and highly taxed society means less opportunity for everyone.

- We don't have comparable laws when taking to the Police.

Happy you replied though. Much better than the downvotes for those in the UK and won't be able to understand how life is different elsewhere.

How come?

The real issue here is power. The US obviously want to hold on their global dominant position, but should realise that it's no more possible for them that it was for Britain.

> It is easy to see the scheduled type of aircraft when you book tickets

That's as maybe, but is far from guaranteed to remain as-is - and how many people maintain an ExpertFlyer membership and enter their itinerary for aircraft change alerts? Unless a seat changes†, IME most airlines don't proactively send out change alerts to passengers already booked when one aircraft is swapped for another. Furthermore I would sincerely doubt anyone's ability to extract a refund because the airline changed to a plane they weren't willing to board.

† and even then it isn't guaranteed, and rarely do I notice the alerts highlighting the reason being an aircraft change

I feel like US is a completely different universe when it comes to this. I fly several times per year and there is no such thing as "choice" when it comes to flying. It's a matter of which operator has a connection on that route, having multiple operators fly the same route is completely unheard of(for me). If Ryanair rolls out a fleet of 737 Max tomorrow....I will fly on the 737 Max. I can't go "oh well I'll just fly BA" - because BA does not fly that route, and the alternative is flying somewhere else and a lengthy car or train journey.

There are several layers. In Spain there's national and regional level. Every autonomous community (~US State) manages it's own healthcare. The National Healthcare System is only a framework for the regional ones, and provides some central services, but not for the consumer.

You can travel to any other EU country and use their healthcare with an european healthcare card, and its cost will be transparent for you. In some system the regular card qualifies as an european healthcare card, in some others it doesn't.

So it's a little bit of mess but it's mostly transparent for citizens.
I tend to agree with you. I think you are saying that long term it is not a good idea to force economic adversaries to produce their own home grown tech. I have what is probably a bad analogy: it is like we are physically stronger now but we force economic adversaries to go work out at the gym and get in shape.
This is very relevant in biology. Countless Honours and MSc students every year try to achieve "results" and probably the majority of these may have as a first result a negative result, or if you will, the empty result.

And there is nothing wrong with that.

In fact, it is very useful. Any result that either proves nothing new or doesn't prove or disprove anything strengthens our confidence in the existing data knowledge base. This should even happen at school science fairs: If a student presents to me a study about how bicarbonate of soda does nothing to help plant x with growth, I would probably rate it highly as long as the content is consistent.

It sounds stupid to students, but "proving nothing" is not nothing. It is actually another grain of rice in the scale of how we approach topics that have not yet achieved clear results. And sometimes it's more than just a grain, it may be a confirmation of old results that if you had not redone the experiment yourself would remain an abstract or somewhat removed prospect.
