>I mean, why not? If I'm a small business, and I need a custom (in-house) app, AND I could do it myself with little training, I'd rather do that then not have the business.

The first company I worked for developed such a system and it worked out very well for them. You would write your UI in XML and your business logic as Postgres stored procedures using either PLPGSQL or any number of other languages with Postgres bindings. They then had a C frontend which would parse the XML and render out the UI using either GTK or HTML. It also had the ability to make arbitrary HTTP requests which allowed for some pretty sophisticated integrations.

Everything about this felt wrong yet it allowed the company to rapidly deliver new functionality and bespoke customizations, on site and often in a matter of hours. It was also simple to the point they could train others in the business (outside of development) to use it.

It's possible to write a language that is arguably a lisp, but without sexprs.

Elixir is one that comes to mind (It has the "big" Lisp things, like hygienic macros).

Actually, Erlangs concurrency model might well work very well for emacs, since you can spawn off hundreds of independent tasks with close to zero overhead, and use all available cores to run them on.
> Whatever you imagined in imagining God as the greatest thing, Graham’s number is inconceivably larger still.

And despite that, there are still more numbers between 0 and 1 than increments required to reach Graham's number.

It seems to me like you are assuming that conceptions of god and integers share the same cardinality when I'm not so sure that is clearly the case.

Groundwater doesn't get contaminated if it is done properly.

It's true that it is possible for it to be done badly. It seems a lot more likely that the public will care, and pressure people to make sure it is done right, if they aren't spending their energy sorting their supposed recyclables and thinking everything is taken care of.

Ask HN: Which book is more suitable than SICP in 2019?
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP) by Harold Abelson and Gerald Jay Sussman with Julie Sussman is a classic book for most undergraduate courses of “introduction” to computer programming. However, SICP is very old, the second edition was published in 1996. I want to ask whether there is a book more suitable than it in 2019.
Please. Even I had this idea in 2012 and I got it from being a user of Chaum’s digicash in the nineties and understanding parts of how the IMF works, etc. I even helped (not successfully) launch it in 2013. These ideas have been around for a good while by many people, it’s just that crypto is mainstream enough and facebook has enough clout now to take it seriously. If facebook ripped off anyone it was John Maynard Keynes. That’s not to say that it is even that good of an idea or that facebook will be successful with it.

Sorry, I must have given the wrong impression. To be clearer, I was hinting at either more government spending, universal basic income, or "helicopter money," as alternatives to attempting to stimulate the economy by encouraging more loans. These have precedents and it's not particularly difficult for a government to be efficient at giving people money.

I'm generally very friendly with people, but being at the receiving end of someones rude behavior takes a toll on you mentally. Combine this with the fact that the bosses don't know how to control their employees behavior, and you have a toxic workplace.
> Most Chinese even have no idea of this, that their daily rice supplies are usually 5+ yrs old

Even during the Maoist period 'new rice' was given out/sold once a year for celebration. Everyone was aware they were eating rotated granary rice.

Storing crops against famine (and eating the old, stored grain) is an ancient tradition [1] dating back to at least 6000 BC, and in China, guarding against famine was one of the earliest tasks of the Chinese proto-state.

Then there is something wrong with your environment. Emacs has no problems with big files. It can have problems with very long lines, but big files shouldn't slow it down.

A huge amount is taking preweitten plugins—someone upthread said you should just learn your editor’s existing feature set, and this is true.

But I use Emacs as a mail client—message mode is awesome—and extended it with a procedure to create text/html parts and all the necessary MIME headers. I especially like using that for tables that are readable in monospaces text/plain or as HTML tables. Compare that to a GUI mail editor, which surely defaults to HTML but which probably isn’t going to offer you tabular support.

Let’s see. I have some fine control over white space in here, to meet different collaborator’s guidelines. And that integrates with the magit git front end.

I have a bunch of macros driven by the abbrev autocorrect scheme.

But in reflecting on this, the big important category is “Other”. I write 5-50 line programs, sometimes starting from a macro recording of one run of the core loop, weekly.

Imagine a world where general spreadsheets didn’t exist; you had accounting software but it was all like TurboTax or quickbooks, very hard wired for a purpose. And imagine asking how users of Excel customized their workflows, as they tried to explain that the point was the total flexibility. Emacs is like that for text files.
I think you need to read that TDP article a little more closely. I followed this story leading up to them building the first plant and for a while after that, as the whole thing fell to pieces.

That plant had problems due to welds that weren't capable of handling the pressure. The smell was horrible and the neighbors considered it a nuisance. And the company went bankrupt. Ten years ago.

Has anyone else tried TDP since then? If so then please update the article.

Couple of suggestions for prospective walkers (or rollers) out there. Successful walking is about fine-tuning yourself to your environment. In order to do so you need couple basics straightened out.

Do yourself a favor and get a flat footwear. Zero-drop shoes will help body realign your lumbar spine and neck (heels push the butt outwards, forcing the spine to compensate). Enthusiastic walking, like running, is a repetitive stress activity so you want your joints in their evolved alignment to avoid fatigue or even damage seeping in. Note, if you choose minimal (or the nowadays called barefoot) footwear- go gradually, allow your foot to build it's strength back up.

Be aurally aware of your environment. Apple earbuds (wired or wireless) are very good in this regard, as these'll let you hear stuff around you. Bone-conducting headphones are also a good option.
If you look at it from the “environmentalism as a religion” metaphor, sorting the trash is sort of a ritual penance sort of like the rosary. In Germany there are 8 different trash cans in many places, and churches are closing left and right. People need to feel like they are atoning for their sins.

To play devil's advocate a little bit contrary to what other people have commented: you being rude is just an efficient way of filtering out unnecessary interactions and social niceties. If you were polite like everyone else, then you end up wasting more time with watercooler chit-chat and having to maintain all these subtle relationships. If what you're doing works for you, then by all means, as long as you are conveying useful information and not actually insulting other people.

> Emacs is 43 years old. When it was written, the kernel had to be written in C. Elisp is slow.

43 years ago Emacs wasn't written in C or Lisp. It was first just a bunch of TECO code, and TECO was written in assembler (I still have the source on my bookshelf).

In fact none of the first three machines to have Emacses (PDP-10, Multics, and the CADR Lispm) supported C. (C was eventually ported to the PDP-10/KL-20 but C can't really represent those machines very well. C was really designed for a specific, restricted kind of architecture, one that is popular today).

As someone else has mentioned. Maybe the lines are very long. That is a known problem, and some minor solutions have been proposed, but it is an entrenched problem (in the way data structures handle text), and not one that programmers run into at any rate (unless you open those terrible "one-liner" javascript files).
> The free market is not going to solve this one

We’ve known this for over 100 years (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Externality). And solutions to the problem have been proposed for as long (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigovian_tax).

The problem with implementing these taxes are political; people with vested interests will argue long and hard against any new taxes, and any working solution needs to be global.
In my opinion, Emacs is the only piece of software that I've ever used that is truly self-documenting. Once you learn about Ctrl+h {c,f,v} you can "lookup" what every key-combination, function and variable does. I don't think I've ever used a piece of software that's close to it in this regard.
I'm not a Greenpeace fan, but the obvious argument why environmentalists take planes is that a little energy spent now in convincing folks of the correct path is nothing compared to the impact they are trying to impart.
Oh come on, neither a basket of commodities nor a basket of currencies are original ideas. During the security token craze of 2017/2018 many similar ideas were proposed and we don’t see those folks whining about Libra.

One example was a local currency based on a basket of goods such as real estate so that employers could pay a salary that adjusted as rents and other costs changed locally. Hundreds of these ideas were discussed freely in telegram groups.

The article is just outrage porn.
These fact checks are against a different claim, namely "detainees are free to walk out of detention centers" or "voluntary deportation is granted to everyone who requested it". The claim that nobody has made.

They are being detained because they claimed asylum (likely just to evade being deported) after illegally entering the country. They are being held while their claim is being evaluated. If they were to abandon that asylum claim there would not be any reason to hold them and the deportation would proceed. Voluntary deportation may not always be available since it's a privilege at discretion of immigration officers but forceful deportation is always there. The difference is that you get a ban on entering the US after being deported and voluntary deportation leaves your record clean.

E.g. the most recent case of a 18 y.o. held in detention:
https://www.dallasnews.com/news/immigration/2019/07/22/dalla...

Whose brother, who had no citizenship claims had apparently been deported as soon as he signed paperwork:
"After two days in detention, Marlon signed a voluntary deportation form."

If you need more information there are plenty immigration lawyers websites explaining the whole procedure and options for detainees.

Fair point, though as my noting of Great Eastern's dimensions there are numerous metrics of ship size, including multiple variants of several of these: linear dimensions, length overall, length at waterline, beam, height overall, draft, height above waterline, and the various measures of tonnage. Disputes can generally be raised and justified on some basis.
Yes, that's the main culprit with traditional static analysis. No one wants to review the results, because the amount of signal to noise is far too low. And also since it's an optional thing and not enforced by the compiler.

I think this is where languages with stronger inbuilt analysis (e.g. Rust) win: The results are better, and since the analysis is always running as part of a compiler pass there are no huge jumps in indicated bugs at once (like what would happen if one would run Coverity on a legacy C++ codebase).

I don't think encryption keys actually are useful for the average case here.

Currently, developers store npm tokens which may be stolen because they're often stored on disk or as environment variables.

Requiring developers to store encryption keys makes almost no difference: the private key will still be stored on disk and will still be vulnerable to effectively the same attacks.

There are some differences of course. Security-conscious users could use hardware tokens to store their encryption keys, and they could password protect the private key in either case. This is not the large majority of users though, so in the average case, it won't matter.

done their part to require a whole other diesel-burning truck to come pick their waste. Even though modern factory equipment can easily sort the garbage automatically at scale.

>>Curious do you apply the same logic to for instance Google?

Yes. The entire big tech policy is basically a no-holds-barred power grab at the moment, which is definitely not "no evil".

>>if the change is positive, why not support it?

You are supposing something did change. But anyone who has actually been acquainted with any of the folks at these companies knows that this is not true. There isn't any "standing behind the courage of your convictions" going on here. It is just "let's do what is best for the bottom line, and then make up a story which suits our recent views". Generally, this is just what politicians do. So I suppose we can now group politicians and MS Employees together into the same weasel group.

E.g. Even as MSFT was supposedly going through an embrace of open source, they were showing perma-nag popups inside Windows 7 to get everyone to upgrade (against their wish) to Windows 10. "Don't like it? Too bad. You don't have a choice in this matter". Now this is all fine - a company can do whatever it wants with its product yada yada - but then simultaneously people were talking about this "new Microsoft". Same goes with Microsoft's attempts to get a $5 tax on every Android which was sold.

So yeah, in my view, nothing's actually changed.
There's still a trick you can use on Android at least, but it's a little obscure. I'm worried some HN-reading NYT dev will file a JIRA for it if I post though. Play around for yourself, that's how I found it.
