Actually Lisp uses ordinary old polish notation. Reverse Polish Notation is used by stack-oriented systems like HP calculators and Forth.
I think it's worth noting that many of the vehicles, ships, airplanes used now by the US military were designed in the 80s, and the last thing on the mind of the engineers were carbon emissions. Hopefully, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman etc. start thinking about this stuff in the future.

Interestingly at one point, the US Navy wanted to go all nuclear. That would have helped carbon emissions. https://www.wearethemighty.com/gear-tech/navy-nuclear-power-...
Don't waste your time and resources for bogus hackers, Tom's is a reliable hacker everybody should contact, His a Straightforward and honest man.
I contacted one hacker who i found his review online to hack my husband phone for me,after i sent him money he went black and radio silent and i was perplex and anxious which compelled me to tell a friend of mine and She shared her testimony how Hack Tom's helped increase her Credit Score that she applied for Mortgage loan and it was granted. The convince me and gave me courage to give Hack Tom's trial. (
Reliablecybersolution58àtgmailcom or whatsapp +1 662 727 5740) After 30 minutes,I was enables to monitor all the activities on my husband phone including call history, location, E-mails, Document,Photo, Video, Social Apps like WhatsApp, Skype, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Kik, Tinder, Line and more on his phone. the good news is it completely untraceable, undetectable and it has a 195 days life span and his fast in delivery.
I PROMISE TO TELL THE WHOLE WORLD ABOUT HACK TOM'S FOR SAFE ME FROM UNFAITHFUL AND UNHEALTHLY MARRIED.
Just look to WW1 and WW2 to see what real world instability looks like. I don't think anyone would prefer that kind of bloodletting to status quo.

Now you can argue that nuclear weapons are the root cause for current stability, and ask if a world with nuclear weapons but less aggressive US would be better off.

Bottom line, the first world's prosperity is based on an efficiency in terms of work done per person, which stems from energy mostly coming from fossil fuels. The US just happened to get first dibs on the resources, but I doubt it would be any different with others. The societies have a tendency to grow and the only real backpressure is resource exhaustion (manifesting as cost).
But equally, the consumer buys what the consumer wants. All Apple is guilty of is making decisions that feed the consumer's wants. Apple's income is proof positive that the consumer is willing to pay as much as they are, and quite probably more, to get their hands on what Apple have designed and for all the bad there is in the phone's design, there's enough good that enough people are willing to part with high amounts of money to get their products.

Sadly every brand has been imitating the cool kid.

Case in point: Thinkpads.

Thinkpads used to be an absolute beauty of engineering. I have an old x220: You could swap battery by hand, change the memory and hard disk by undoing one single screw, swap the keyboard by undoing 3 screws.

I also go a new one recently, a T480. Changing memory and mass media means taking the whole bottom off, which means which is almost impossible to do with breaking some small plastic tabs. Changing the battery and keyboard is close to heart surgery.

Their newer model downright solder memory in the machine, making it impossible to upgrade or repair.

Another example, OneOps was one of the few company making sane decision, their latest model does not have a jack for headset.
"The best time to start respecting intellectual property rights is 20 years ago. The second best time is now."
The bag-of-nouns headline is a particular staple of regional British journalism. While bags of nouns are frequently used in both local and national headlines to describe the subjects of stories - CAR PARK PLUNGE DEATH VICAR is a succinct way of clarifying, our of all the death vicars, which death vicar this particular story relates to - but it tends to fall to local news to report on the various events which befall each death vicar - the APOLOGY, the ENQUIRY, the TRIBUTES, the COURT APPEARANCE, etc. as the story runs its course. National news tends only to run such stories when there is action, or closure, or a comment from a celebrity - CAR PARK PLUNGE DEATH VICAR FINALLY CAPTURED, or JUSTICE FOR CAR PARK PLUNGE DEATH VICAR, or CAR PARK PLUNGE DEATH VICAR ‘MISUNDERSTOOD’ CLAIMS BIG BROTHER CONTESTANT.

As a result they tend to resort to the occasional verb or adjective, while local press sticks to just the nouns.

On the other hand, US journalism tends to use prepositional phrases for their identifying markers - PRIEST IN PARKING LOT DEATH - which leads to ‘crash blossoms’ when they put verbs on the end: PRIEST IN PARKING LOT DEATH PROTESTS.
Ignorance is a bliss.
Good thing email still exists, right?
Yes, but an effort to port XFCE to GTK 3 is underway. My understanding is that this will bring Wayland support.

Because it prevents foreign troops from attempting to land on U.S. soil and attack us, it also gives us means to take most air and ocean-based attacks out long before they get near the continental United States. With the exception of 9/11 (which wasn't actually military but does seem to have been state-sponsored to some degree), we've gone the better part of 2 centuries without hostile military action on the continental United States.

Because it has provided jobs for many of us and our families. My mother retired from DoD, I have no less than 2-dozen friends that served in Afghanistan and/or Iraq and many more that are/were guard/reserve, my aunt's husband retired from the USAF and then went to work as a contractor for them, one of my half-brothers was in the Navy and even served on a sub, one of my aunts was USCG reserve, from my grandfathers (Army Air Corp, Navy) back we've fought in every single war since the War of Independence, my godfather was Navy UDT, the guy I owe my sobriety to is a purple heart carrying 18D. Several members of my Lodge are veterans, several members of my Ward are members, several people in my office are veterans or are married to them, the founder of my company that employs 425k people is a Vietnam-vet Marine and a lot of our pilots are former military. Several of my friends were able to get college educations thanks to the military, my mother's father had multiple heart surgeries over the years thanks to the VA, etc etc.

Because space exploration, GPS and literally every other type of satellite our civilization relies upon, effectively all nuclear technologies (power, medicine), advanced prosthetics, handheld radios, RADAR, airliners, digital photography, the internet, etc etc so on and so forth are all direct results of technologies developed by various branches of the U.S., and foreign, military branches?

I mean, without the U.S. military, you wouldn't even have safe and reliable ocean shipping. The United States Navy and United States Coast Guard patrol international shipping lanes and are the largest deterrent to piracy (which is a multi-billion dollar economic loss annually)

The majority of npm based installation instructions I encounter "out there" are using "npm install -g".
So Raspbian will be the only viable option on the new Raspberry Pi 4 due to the lack of Wayland for the VideoCore 6?
In particular this would probably have been written up a few days after the exam - these are oral exams.

I took a similar exam at a similar program. We also had a repository of exam writeups like this. But I never got around to writing mine up - there were so many things I had put off until "after orals" that the last thing I wanted to do was relive them.

(Like Tao, I passed; like Tao, I muddled through large portions of my exam.)
I'm a freelancer and realized yesterday that I haven't had a real vacation in 8 years, but also that every one of my clients would probably say yes definitely if I told them I needed a week off. And they did, and I'm taking off next week and I have never been so excited in my life.
Not only that, almost every job posting I see for mainframe development wants a decade of experience working with the systems, and that's not something you can reasonably expect to self teach. I imagine most of the people who have significant experience with mainframes are retiring nowadays

>I would question why they haven't attracted investment in such a situation.

I wouldn't say there isn't investment in new industries/tech upstream, but that it isn't in anything at a point that's driving consumer demand/profits.

>To put it more directly, what do you know that people with billions to invest, and access the experts in the field don't?

I'm interested in brain computer interfaces (worked/consulted in multiple research labs, published in journals, familiarity with all the politicking in between academia-industry/etc). I have hands on experience with medical imaging hardware/software and design of systems/sensors, and have seen a couple of great but really expensive systems/companies only target researchers, and many more trash systems/companies with even more funding that continued to get peddled to the public (and research labs sadly), and the only VC firm I've seen that even seems right up the ally with interest in something like this (some of the people behind it), nearly 15-20% of their portfolio companies are filled with corporate hiring startups (and another chuck companies with gov contracts for bread n butter [i.e. easily financed with 4-52 week notes]).

If one follows Robin Hanson's take on our economic system (prestige bias wrt to experts, and how it can go horribly wrong in certain cases outside of wanting to associate with such people), its not hard to see how $10-100 billion or more of other peoples money mostly being burned…
> They're using the captcha to disincentivize users from using browsers other than Chrome or from not having a Google account.

It has absolutely nothing to do with Chrome. And anyone who is sane has switched to Firefox and is now patiently enduring how lousy it is by comparison because ad blockers are sacrosanct.

> And now with v3, it's supposed to happen on every page of the web? It shouldn't be too hard to see it's a disaster.

Yes, site owners gotta opt in to captchas. Most sites already have enough connections to Google on every page they could already do most of this work. But that's unethical.

Ultimately, a increasingly sophisticated statistical analysis of users is the only reliable way to get robots out of spaces meant for humans. Our social media is crippled by robots masquerading as humans for the profits of various agencies who's names you aren't even privileged to know, but you're concerned about opt-in countermeasures because... Why again? That in a dark future every mom and pop web shop is gonna have sophisticated log analytics at their disposal, either because free software finally gets off its ass or because state capitalism does what it does and awards all the business to 1-2 competitors?

To me, you're arguing about the color of the insulin bottle rather than pointing out how absurd the system that can cheerfully jack it's price 10x is.
This isn’t how markets work. Suppliers can’t just “do whatever they want”. If there’s no demand for a project you’ll very quickly go out of business that way. It is up to the consumers, and people chose iPhones over chunky android phones with hot swappable batteries and the like.

You can’t really be a “sustainable” company (or anything, really) when you’re out of business.
Republicans have always been economic liberals even during Lincoln. Northern Democrats developed a heavy base of labor activists (unions), so started tending a bit left. Southern Democrats simply existed as “anything but Republicans” (the party of a much hated Lincoln), so catered to southern white supremicists.

Johnson’s push of civil rights in the 60s simply destroyed the southern democrat wing of the party, who were welcomed into the Republican Party via Nixon’s southern strategy, and the pro-union Northern Democrats became the sole power source of the remaining Democrats.

Now with Trump and his rust belt base, Republicans are losing a bit of their economic liberalism (being more against free trade).

This is so true. Hence the dongle epidemic.
Well, hey. The current administration is pulling the US out of areas and treating your countries like sovereigns now.
Oh, that sounds like you really avoided something much worse that could have happened. I thought you meant like a bill a couple of orders of magnitude larger than you ever paid normally. Thanks for the answers!

Good on you for catching it relatively quickly.
Someone should tell him that, because his administration has been hard-right GOP.
You're still allowed to reply to their post quotes from the article that make it clear that they didn't read the article. I've also just done the "I know it's against the rules but did you read the article?" thing in the past. Haven't gotten banned yet.

I do wonder what the point of that rule is.

Was the integrated circuit a mistake because it isn't repairable? The historical arc of technological development is unmistakably towards smaller, more complex, more integrated systems that are impossible to access and repair without highly specialised equipment. Does anybody really believe that technology 100 years from now will be anything other than nano-tech meta-materials, the functioning of which is totally opaque to anybody without a tunnelling microscope and an in-depth understanding of quantum physics? History will judge Ive no more harshly than one person caught in an irresistible wave.
walked right into that one huh?
Sigh. I probably didn't phrase something clearly enough. Or perhaps we're not occupying the same universe. Since I was feeling free to impute sloppiness to Gallup last night, I'll do my best to take your imputation of bias in stride.

> This assumes that homosexuality is evenly distributed across age groups, something that is directly contradicted by the data. Your bias makes you think that this is caused by unacceptability of identification, but you would need to show that the change in acceptability has only affected younger generations.

Exactly the opposite. It is possible that a significant fraction of the age correlation the poll observed might disappear if they controlled for different identification rates at different ages. They don't try to use the data to investigate the possibility that the rates young people guess and the rates old people guess are actually pretty similar (even if over-estimated!) relative to identification rates in their peer group. It directly assumes the rate (at least of identification) can differ.

> This metaphor seems directly contradicted by... The change in ever cheating on a test over the last 70 years does not seem pretty profound to me.

The point of the metaphor isn't a time-correlated rate change. It's that the narrative of the release (Americans don't know Americans) is trying to compare quantities that might be expected to differ (because they measure different things) and then making news out of the fact that they aren't the same.

> It's clear that your personal bias is that there is an iceberg of non-identifying homosexuals who still feel oppressed. Even in SF, the number barely reaches 15% [1]

I have no strong opinion on or suspicion about what portion of the population does or doesn't identify as gay. If anything, I think the entire project of ontologizing our sexuality is fraught.

> This shifts blame off suppliers and on to consumers. Suppliers can do whatever they want: it's the responsibility of consumers to choose what is best for society.

Wether you agree with it or not, this is how capitalism and a free market works. It's a feature, not a bug.
That’s a difficult position to be in. It’s lose-lose. Dictators can last generations and drive countries needlessly into the ground (Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Cuba, North Korea, etc.) Interventions are blunt instruments (interestingly some US Democrat candidates put forth the idea of intervening in Honduras... Democrats...)
It certainly appears to be monitoring the entry of passwords into Facebook, but given the stated purpose of the extension ("Record activities undertaken in the content area for later playback") it's not clear to me that this is the same as "stealing". We'd need to see code that shows the recorded content being exfiltrated to somewhere else, which should be pretty obvious by watching network traffic and or doing a full review of the code.
Theres a good reason why we shouldn’t use direct democracy and the Founders where very clear about that.
Somewhat related but it is amazing how clear things become to me when I draw a diagram about something I have to learn or build. Make visual connections leads to an immediate deeper understanding. It has become second nature for me to start up my diagramming app the moment I don't understand something
I wonder if this will also link to a dip in RAM sales.
I was part of that unrealistic, brainwashed, tribalist community for many years. Except not for apple. For PC. I switched over to a mbp this past year after having used countless different PC laptops over the past ten years, and my god, my mbp just feels so much better than my previous laptops in so many ways. Yes there are shortcomings, but the overall user experience is nothing to gloss over.
> But equally, the consumer buys what the consumer wants.

I don't believe in this equality. The consumer is limited to buying what is available in the market, which may not be what the consumer wants.

For example, if I had the option to buy a current Macbook Pro without a touchbar, and with the circa-2015 keyboard, I'd do so.
This sounds fun. I never realized this was a possibility. Can you recommend one?
What a clickbait article. Love or hate Jony's designs, millions have used and loved the products. There have been issues wrt repairability, but it's nothing as dramatic as the article claims.

Can someone explain to me why any company should outsource something as critical as internal communication to a company that is 5 years old? The video messaging left aside, is it really that better than time-tested solutions like email or just running an IRC server?
I would love to know whether Mozilla has resources available to port Firefox to SailfishOS (SFOS) and other non-iOS & non-Android mobile platforms. We could really use a good native browser here. I'm currently running it through SFOS' Android emulation but that has issues.

Lacking a port I would be interested in a solid, maintained Firefox-without-the-GUI base so people could port it somewhat easily.

Thank you for these insightful comments. So, it seems that USB PD doesn't seem to be ready to become mainstream yet...

And I had not realized you needed PD capabilities to support alternate mode. However, the protocol itself doesn't seem that complicated to manage with a microcontroller and a few discreet transistors, right?

I can easily see it become more common in the future, and hopefully the open source silicon ecosystem (spearheaded by RISC-V) will make the necessary IP ubiquitous.

The remaining issue I can see is with the high-speed muxes, though if the raspberry is already capable of HDMI, I am not sure why the SoC couldn't handle those directly as well (though if they need to support 20V I can see it being difficult to do without external components).

The integrated circuit was not unrepairable on purpose. The amount of plastic packaging per transistor in an integrated circuit is much much smaller than for individual transistors. The point is that the Apple devices are not repairable on purpose. The half-a-millimeter-thinner argument is a laughable pretext.
