Depends where you are coming from. What languages do you work in now? If the language you are working in now has excellent support for concurrency, then that part of Clojure is not going to impress you. Or if you currently work with a language that makes it easy to write DSLs, then that part of Clojure won't impress you.
I have sold a couple of companies, not necessarily side projects, but the ideas are the same overall.

Easiest transactions are ones where you let a broker handle the details and take their commission, yes it eats some of your gain but it is well worth it to not waste time with people who will happily waste yours.

Outside of that, basic rules. You are selling essentially assets not really a company likely. So the typical transaction involves an asset purchase agreement with terms and conditions spelled out as to what you are selling, what you are promising, and what the sellers obligations and yours are. Biggest rule, nothing transfers to buyer until money is paid. You can use escrow services in two ways, first is they take the full amount of the purchase, once they have the money they tell you and you will transfer the assets to the buyer. You confirm with the escrow company you have done this and they confirm with the buyer they have received it. Again this is where it is best to have a defined asset purchase agreement and make it very detailed. Then one of two things happens, all the money is paid out to you (typical for small transactions) or 80-90% is paid out to you and the remaining % is paid at milestones over some time period, 3, 6, 12 months usually (commonly called a holdback). The holdback is usually only for larger deals though, > 500k usually. But I have heard some people wanting a hold back on smaller deals too.

Size of deal really matters as to terms. But you can find common asset purchase agreement terms online, just make sure they are enforceable in your Country/State.

Biggest pitfall IMO is a contract that isn't detailed enough and there is grey area for a seller or buyer to make unsubstantiated claims against the other party to try and gain the upper hand in the transfer of funds or assets. So always spell out all the details in the agreement. Even if the agreement is written by non-lawyers that is fine, at least in the US, plain english agreements can be enforced in courts. Just make them specific enough that it is clear what you are selling and what the buyer is getting and what they are paying for. I cannot stress this point enough, this is where almost every deal that has trouble starts.

If the deal is smaller, try and avoid any holdback and avoid any on-going services beyond getting them up to speed for 30 days or so. The more complex the asset or the higher the price tag the more you'll have to help but that should be built into the price. Don't be afraid of setting fair terms, but don't be unreasonable either. If you aren't sure what is unreasonable or fair ask a friend or someone for their opinion who isn't in the deal and see if they'd accept those terms from a stranger, and watch what their initial reaction is to the term. That'll help give you guidance.

Do you love Common Lisp, Racket, Scheme, and/or Clojure, but wish you had a language like that, but with full interop support for Python libraries (in much the same way Clojure has full interop for Java libraries)? If so, you might like Hy. It's not as mature as those other projects, but its support for Python interop is impressive, and by letting you write Lisp-style code, you can make more functional-feeling code and also do things like macros and metaprogramming more easily.
What if they have visited, a long long time ago. The lead explorer’s name happened to be “God”.
Serbia is not a EU country.The poorest EU country is Bulgaria ( I should know, I'm from there).

I have been to Brazil and the situation is very different there. You are correct that the GDP is comparable, but the gap between the rich and the poor there is far worse, though I don't have the stats to back up my claim. Just an observation.

That being said I'm sure that the short term profits they make from cutting the rainforest will definitely only help widen the gap between the rich and the poor there. I agree with you that they have other options to better their situation in a more sustainable way.
>Usually lisp and FP means that you get immutable data structures and a good concurrency system, both of which you get in clojure.

FP, yes. Lisp? No. Lisp data structures are generally mutable, and I don't think concurrency is a key aspect of Lisp (just look at Emacs Lisp for something with much worse concurrency than Python).
As a data point, the University of Waterloo releases data about hourly earnings for students enrolled in the co-op program. The first co-op term for students in Mathematics (the faculty Computer Science is under) is typically taken after completing 2-3 semesters of schooling.

According to the data for students doing internships in the United States, the average first year Computer Science (or more accurate, first year Faculty of Mathematics) student is making
$30.57 USD an hour [0]. However, going to the States is typically a function of one's experience, and so this is more common in upper years.

If you take the average for work terms in Canada, the average first year (or more accurately, first year Faculty of Mathematics student) makes $18.84 CAD [1].

> “Here’s the bottom line: Using less social media than you normally would leads to significant decreases in both depression and loneliness,” says study author Melissa Hunt.

Maybe their words were taken out of context, but the study this refers to was done on a group of undergraduates [0] so besides it being, in my opinion, an overly simplistic solution, I'd be hesitant to draw this out to the wider population. This is especially apparent when looking at the YouGov poll stats where there's clearly a lot of different reasons why people feel they cannot make friends. This is not to say that overuse of social media is not problematic.

I'd be interested to see how this varies by country - loneliness is something I've struggled with a lot in my life as I've moved city/country many times and never lived in the US. I've found each place differs a lot in how easy or difficult it is to make friends and acquaintances, although this could be because I'm at different stages in my life when I've moved.

How efficient and robust is the use of a membrane in these kinds of solution? It would seem to me that the membrane is the weakest link, and also expensive.
Distributing blame and accusing people of hypocrisy doesn't change anybody's behavior. Countries screw over other countries for their own benefit all the time and they're not going to stop as a result of moralizing rhetoric.

And it doesn't even necessarily change anything. Read this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coase_theorem

The difference between tariffs and subsidies is who gets the money. But even that doesn't really change very much unless the different people have significantly different preferences. If the American fat cats are just going to invest the money into the same ventures as the Brazilian fat cats then there is no real difference at all.
But with Hy you have Lisp + PyPi.
If I remember correctly, the 737 either doesn't have the space for longer landing gear, or there's an issue with the longer landing gear, or both. Citation needed, of course, as this is off of memory.
Yes, these are mine expressions for what I seen in that story. Clueless joking is how the initial situation comes across in that story to me. Someone who just makes a joke but that is not because of antisemitism, but to troll.

The "should be more passive" is how I would sum up the reaction of main character to the part where there is large pushback from initial targets. Each pushback legitimize escalations.

Specific question:

> You start by joking that you are a jew-hating nazi and then after a while you become an actual jew-hating nazi.

My point here is that the answer to that is more complex. The hardcore push-back to initial joke does not happen, but there is a lot of socialization involving Jew jokes or whatever with no push-back at all - or where push back against it makes you pussy. Initial targets of joking were not random in the first place either.

There also is process by which that person becomes extremist with zero to no interaction from target of hate.
As much as I personally agree and wish this were true, so much of academia does not work that way.

However, I do think it is getting better, and a growing number of scientists (particularly the younger generations) are pushing back.
Btw. I work remote for 4 years now and since last year for US companies.

I just solved that problem with multiple customers, so I don't really have your problem, sorry.
I re-implemented a single method on Array a few years back, it is absolutely feasible in a technical sense. These kinds of things are always more complicated than “is it technically possible,” of course.
Agreed. I will add that it is both sides of the political spectrum in US seem to push for it though for different reasons.I am annoyed at how many conversations I had with people who think it is not only good, but necessary.
This doesn't appear to support read receipt privacy, which is when the mail server caches tracking images on-delivery instead of on-read.

I shouldn't have to expose my email viewing habits just to get auto-displaying images in my email client.
The biggest reason is that academic publishing is much more viable to defend than novels. Book piracy has millions of “lost” customers, each representing a low amount of spend. Academic publishing has relatively few customers who pay a lot to access journals.
And yet nobody was hurt. What do you think the outcome had been if a petrol station went up like that?
Fewer predators of mosquitoes (dragon flies? Larvae eating fish, bats).

They eat nectar, so something else would have to take their place in pollinisation (probably no problem).

Increased population of mosquito prey - livestock, humans.

Overall, sounds like a risk worth taking.
It didn’t.

Generally you don't ship FPGAs in consumer devices you plan to sell in high quantities, as they're very expensive in addition to not being very efficient. Small FPGAs or CPLDs can be used for low-volume devices to avoid the huge non-recoupable expenses of an ASIC spin -- because of the specific requirements of the application.

They're almost exclusively used for prototyping ASICs.
Because of the unions.
Syntax transformation via macros can be a significant advantage when the semantics of the language don't support an abstraction that's shaped like your problem.

> Bitkom, a German trade federation for online businesses criticised the ruling, saying it would heap costly bureaucracy on firms without enhancing consumer protection.

What cost is involved by not embedding third party bescons on your website?

How does it not improve consumer protections? It's literally stopping doing the thing that is causing harm.

> “With its decision, the ECJ places enormous responsibility on thousands of website operators – from small travel blogs to online megastores and the portals of large publishers,” Bitkom CEA Bernard Rohleder said.

Yes, this is exactly how serious this situation is. I'm glad you're getting a handle on just how damn huge this problem really is. Aren't you glad we're finally doing something about it?

> He warned that the decision would go beyond Facebook and effect all social media plug ins, which are important for many firms to expand their reach on the web

Uh, yes, that's the the idea? Your firm's right to expand their reach does not overrule my right to privacy.

People can still share and like your links on the social platforms. It doesn't require me to be forced into it.

Racket originally had mutable cons cells but they got rid of them sometime while it still was called MzScheme. One of the reasons they rebranded to Racket was that they no longer implemented scheme as specified.

I would like to add separately however for people unfamiliar with sci-hub, I am unaware of any copyright infringement issues of linking to or downloading from sci-hub. Sharing or downloading links has never been copyright infringement. Distribution is, which is why sci-hub is based in a separate jurisdiction (Russia I believe) that does not recognize US copyright claims.

In the final phase of landing the AGC was running a program called P66 which was a semi-manual mode. The astronaut had direct control of the attitude of the LM but the throttle was calculated by the AGC to maintain a steady Rate of Descent (ROD). The astronaut controlled the ROD via a switch.

All the Apollo landings were done with P66, I think the AGC did have the capability to do a fully automatic landing but none of the crews wanted to try it.
As I see it, there are two orthogonal roots to functional programming: Mathematical functions on the one hand, and lambda expressions/closure/higher-order functions/... on the other.

The former implies immutability and technically belongs to the declarative side of things: A mathematical function declares a relation between input and output, but I say technically because functional code can read rather algorithmic.

The latter can be added to imperative languages that do feature mutable state. Depending on the language, I might still classify it as functional, but impure.
> Without these things, the increased syntax burden of parens don’t buy you anything except visual noise and being forced to type extra characters

So instead of f(x), I have to accept the visual noise and extra characters of (f x)?
I think all these privacy protection rulings are a step in the right direction, in that we are seeing governments respond to dark patterns similar to how they respond to spam and telemarketing.

The loose thread now is in how the companies are required to communicate their data mining. These twenty page privacy policies that I agree to with a flick of the scrollbar and a button click, or these equally boring popovers when I visit a site, are where the governmental innovation needs to happen next.
I think the article's issues with hydrogen as a small-vehicle fuel have mostly been borne out -- one thing that seems to have happened since 2007 is that battery technology has gotten a lot better, and electric cars are proving to be a practical solution for a lot of use-cases.

But the article seem to condemn Hydrogen as any part of any zero-carbon economy because of this, as though any energy medium unsuitable for cars is automatically disqualified entirely from the green economy. I can imagine other use-cases where Hydrogen actually works well.

In large vehicles, for example, where a heavy reinforced tank isn't as much of a liability, like maybe a locomotive.

The use of hydrogen as an energy-storage medium for large stationary power plants also seems reasonable, maybe a solar power plant could split water when sunlight is abundant, and recombine it in the fuel-cell when energy-demand is high, using hydrogen storage to bridge the gap.

Or, similarly, a nuclear plant could split water at an efficient, steady "base-load" rate, and recombine it at different rates to match demand.

Viewed as an industrial-scale energy-storage medium, it makes more sense. It still has to compete with other industrial-scale energy storage media, but it's a very different landscape from vehicle fuels.
Yes, I even read it to make sure he didn't call it closer to the crashes
How often do you find yourself writing or using `interface{}`? It’s littered all over the go code I’ve seen, including the standard library.

`interface{}` is the equivalent to using `Object` in java land. It completely punts on any sort of type safety, relying on the developer to handle messy edge cases correctly. I think one of the only reasons that it hasn’t been as severe a problem in go as java is thanks to that explicit error checking that go makes developers do (and that gets so much hate online), forcing developers to consider the case that the type isn’t what they assume.

But genetics provide a useful way to safely make those assumptions, and cut down on the boilerplate around them.
If these tourists are coming from the other side of the world by plane it might save the wolves but it's still slowly killing the whole planet.
Ultimately, they do the same simulated landing with a real AGC. Ideally, this video would have been demonstrated with the restored AGC but it wasn't available.

It's the same people. Mike Stewart was one of the main AGC gurus in the YouTube series.
Yes, just that.

Oh, plus thousands of words, with numerous arguments, detailed calculations, examples, and formulas, for why hydrogen doesn't work.

But don't let that affect your bias towards the article, or god forbid, temp you to at least keep the former (anti-hydrogen arguments) and ignore the former (ethanol push).
Wrt to social security stuff, one should proactively run a "Statusfeststellungsverfahren" - you fill out some forms and the authorities will tell you how they declare you. That puts you on a safer side.

Also there _is_ an "avoiding the cost of social security". If they consider you properly self employed and independent, you do not pay gov social security stuff, but you need to insure yourself (using private insurance companies).
That is why the process mentioned above is important. If you register self-employed but later they declare you as dependently-employed, gov social security has to be paid! Something you should avoid upfront, can be super expensive. So => "Statusfeststellungsverfahren"!
But will they still fly around my ears as I’m trying to sleep?

If so, in the bin they go.
Only the libc implementation of std::deque allocates 4KiB blocks and lives upto it's performance and utility. The MSVC implementation is terrible (8 bytes) and even the GCC one isn't that efficient (512 bytes).

Even though boost has a customizable deque block size, it's performance is still way behind Clang's libc.

>Hyrodgen can play a huge role in energy storage in a green economy.

Which is already addressed in the article: hydrogen is best as a storage medium, but even as that it's not-green and very mediocre storage.
It's about the public tax fund.

My understanding is that in your 2nd scenario (contractor), the tax/social security authorities might at some point decide that this is Scheinselbständigkeit, and therefore it's actually been scenario 1 all along. What I'm unclear about is whether they'll try to collect from the worker in DE or the company in the US.
Detecting plain SSN numbers wouldn't be difficult with a combination of regex, machine learning and human verification.

Even if hackers could just encode the SSN numbers, it would at least mitigate the spreading of PII.

Edit : I don't care about the downvotes, I care about privacy. Enough of the argument "but wait, can't you imagine the cost?", well if you can't afford to protect people's privacy, don't do business at all.

Edit 2 : people are totally missing my points. The goal is to not display any plaintext SSN that would be scraped by bots. As I said, the hackers could just encode the SSNs, but then the numbers won't be readable by scrapers

Edit 3 : once a project is reviewed and verified, it would stop to trigger alerts. This is trivial, but the HN mentality is just disrespectful regarding people's data, until it's their own personal data that leaked
