Please don't be turned off by the recent commotion. (I'm sorry some of the commotion that might've discouraged you was by me.) Commotion happens because people care about Racket, and there are reasons they care.

Racket actually has a couple-decade history of very good stability, other than a couple oopses that might've helped prompt the current attempt at greater community involvement in decisions.

The history is too long to summarize here, but some quick evidence you can look at is, when the language evolution really wants to change an interface or how something works, the old way either still remains in the main language/library, or is preserved in a legacy language or module, which you can see at the bottom of the page: https://docs.racket-lang.org/

For further evidence that's fairly easy to find, you can also look at the very careful and conservative process for introducing the new Chez-based backend.
Arguably, these institutions aren't failing at the accepting Bitcoin part - which is usually a seamless transaction as the restaurant/bar should accept the money on zero confirmations. Rather, they're failing at the getting bitcoin to people who don't already have it portion.

If this author had bitcoin ready to use on a mobile wallet with him already, he wouldn't have run into the delayed-receipt-of-bitcoin issue with the Bitcoin ATM - which is a well known and documented issue that won't be solved until layer two solutions reliably allow for "zero confirmation" transactions.

What institutions like this should/could be doing is ringing up the total in btc and including the restaurant's bitcoin address on the receipt and having the first-time-bitcoin-using patron go to the Bitcoin ATM to pay cash to the Bitcoin ATM and send the resulting bitcoin to the restaurant's wallet - that way it doesn't matter if the transaction doesn't fully clear until later.

Typing it out, that sounds like a nightmare that might not be worth the 10% discount (especially as the ATM is likely taking a cut, too) and is it really paying in bitcoin at that point?

I guess this just shows my point that these places are meant for people who already have bitcoin to come in and use.
Once most cars include tracking devices/cloud-connections, they'll track people when traveling with their own personal car, too. I mean it's obvious that this will happen from how they think about these things.

The only thing that can stop it is significant outrage from people, otherwise "total information awareness" is the goal of all governments.

A few of society journals are doing fine. They are funded by the societies and societies either outsource actual production to the publishers for pay but retain copyright ( and strong arm readers into paying for society membership as the condition of accessing the journal or make authors pay to publish in them ) or produce and publish journals themselves.

Publishers make the most of their money by publishing second/third and fourth tier journals not the first tier because in the view of academia someone having access to "Journal of the Society of Librarians" ( circulation : 320 ), and "Cell" has the same value.

Both "confesses" and "fesses up" seem like improper English here. The article does not provide any evidence to suggest that Twitter was reluctant about sharing this information or lied about it previously.

"Disclosed" seems like a more sensible and less sensationalist word to describe an entity sharing new information. The writer knows this: "Twitter has disclosed" are the first words of the article.

Twitter also apologized, said they're taking steps to avoid making this mistake again, and provided a way to contact their Office of Data Protection for questions. That part didn't make it into the headline, though.

It's not just about coordination. Clearly, coordination would make solving the accepted problem relatively easy. Yet, individual action does solve the problem to a small degree. Humans are wired to neclect small changes when they come at a personal cost to them, so they think "it won't change if I stop doing it, so I won't stop doing it". This thinking is arrogant and the cause why many changes in society don't happen, although many people recognize that there is a problem.

You're mixing a mistake (luggage redirected) with a specific situation (missing passenger). Mistakes happen. But known abandoned luggage will be offloaded.
Steam was essentially a small company in 2004, in fact they grew too fast for their own good. Let us remember until the steam patch nobody wanted in 2004, valve had only released half-life and a few other odds and ends, until half-life 2 in 2004. Where steam began the long process of stealing game files from PC gamers and calling it drm.

The whole process which began back in the late 90's with Ultima online in a bid to get people to pay monthly for the same computer role playing games by rebadging PC RPG's mmo's.

So everyone with a clue about gaming history should know valve only seems "big" because the internet enabled gave them first mover advantage when they wrapped the steam store around half-life 2 in the mid 2000's, over the next 5-6 years that would make valve a tonne of money as AAA games released on steam until uplay and origin showed up later.

Let us remember the reason we have storefronts for every company is because the internet enabled companies to steal PC games out from gamers via server locking games to their companies PC's. Now we're even seeing basic game functions held back and sold for microtransaction money.

I agree with you: the real issue we're talking about is putting a restraint on capitalism, because it is the notion that "development" means profit that's causing these issues. Those same advertisements make poor people in my country join the narcos, because while the government doesn't care about inequalities and unemployment, since it does not have social welfare as goal, those people are easily lured to work in drug trafficking, which pays.

Notice the ones defending crazy "free" speech are the same who defend crazy capitalism? Yeah, that's the issue: by defending what I call "responsible speech", which is free but not ultimate, we are defending social welfare and human rights AGAINST the former, because the former has no interest in defending the latter. We see it even here in Hacker News, when a corporation does something unethical or morally wrong, there will be someone to say "but hey, the corps are right they exist just give shareholder profit and that's what they're doing". It's a serious debate about sustainable development, which has the very survival of our species at stake.

1) those are for pattern matching, or sum-type separators in data definitions. Also if `|` were to mean "pipe", it's actually a downgrade because the direction isn't clear. `|>` and `<|` show that they pass data to the right and left functions respectively. If it were `|` what would be the accompanying operator that passes data in the opposite direction? Unix pipe streams data, but these operators are actually function application, so I wouldn't conflate the two, the latter is a much simpler concept, `a |> f == f(a)` and `f <| a == f(a)`.

I'm not suprised at the response they got when they reported the vulnerability. Somebody reported an XSS vulnerability in the Dota 2 UI, and they wouldn't fix it. So (probably the reporter) created a worm in the client that spread through your friends list in game and defaced the client. People also found out you could crash the client by using the XSS to download very large images. There was no way to protect yourself either, because messages from friends are automatically displayed with no user interaction.

> anyone who works in a office has had a computer on their desk for two or three decades. If they decided not to learn how to use it [...]

Knowing how to operate equipment and understanding how to troubleshoot it are very different things. It's exactly why IT support, car mechanics, or electricians still exist.

Some people think that knowing how to use a computer makes them experts, then they start spreading that "knowledge", and IT support ends up with all kinds of seemingly stupid calls where someone is (or took the word of) such an expert. Other times people just want to be helpful and play back what they heard from the IT personnel during the last case because that appeared to be similar for them, even if the issue was radically different.

Ad companies are very good at getting around the legal issue of consent. Just visit any online news site from a European IP address to see the nonsense they pull to get around GDPR. They just keep harassing you with pop-ups until you click the big green button labeled "Got it, thanks".

Knowing that, I predict JCDecaux will have devices covering every inch of downtown that will beam high pitched ringing at anyone that passes by. The only way to stop it would be to press a button on their device that says "Stop the ringing". According to European law, this is good enough to count as "consent".

> Actually it is more than syntax sugar.

Where? I see only syntax sugar. The catchy phrase from the Google C++ style guide is stuck in my head: references have value syntax but pointer semantics. And that's it (and that's why I think references are mostly a bad idea).

> C requires explicit double indirection

Your 2nd example is no different, it's still just "indirection" (value syntax but pointer semantics!). If what you are indirecting is itself a pointer type (as in your 2nd example), then yes, there technically is a "double indirection", but that's besides the point.

Everything you say is right and true for out-sourcing. However, I think the better point is that companies like this treat their IT platform as a cost center. They need to invest in that just as much as new planes and amenities for passengers. This is the consequence of not doing so and having 30 year old systems still in the critical path. They have all built a spectacular mountain of technical debt. This is largely true for banks and hospitals and many other industries.
