To paraphrase Ansel Adams (who was speaking of cameras), there is no one best language only the best language for the project you're doing. It may very well be that Lisp is the right language for your project. That depends largely on what the project is and what advantage you are seeking from Lisp (or another choice) that helps complete your project and, most importantly, reduces debugging time later since that's where you'll spend 60% of your coding effort.

We are building our product with a Lisp back end because it deals with NLP and large bodies of text where Lisp is ideal. The user interface, however, is HTML/JS (Angular) because that language offers much more flexibility for UI design.
Interestingly, the docs for Flutter are comprehensive and overall just really excellent.

It is a best-practice to have a GSuite account instead of a consumer-grade Gmail account to manage an associated GCP account.

It is a bit onerous for a hobbyist, admittedly. But if its anything more ambitious than that, do you _really_ want Google scraping the contents of your email while you build the Next Great Thing? Try not to use a consumer account.
This is really interesting and I might pick this up! I'm actually on the other side of the equation. I want to learn how to work better with the PM as an engineer. I'm working in a "startup" environment and we're having some issues working as a team and aligning well.

This is the proper response, imo.

Arch is rolling release and you take the good with the bad. The ones who try to defend arch as some paragon of stability miss the point that Arch's model is inherently unstable, but it comes with other benefits.

I'm the one who kicked off this entire conversation pointing out that arch is unstable, and it cracks me up watching silly people scramble to try and defend Arch as being some paragon of stability.

No, it's not. That's baked into its identity.

This matches with what I heard from a former silo officer. I did a tour of the Atlas Missile Museum outside Tuscon, AZ, which holds the distinction of being one of the only fully intact but non-functional missile silos that you can visit.

The tour itself, when I went, was given by an officer who used to be stationed at the silo when it was operational (being an Atlas, they were only in service for a short time), so I believe that was in the 50s. I asked him more or less this exact question, and here's how he explained it (and I remember it).

They were on 2 week shifts, with 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off. When you enter the silo, you were ID'd over a camera on the outside, and only then would the officers being relieved unlock the door and let you in. If you got launch codes, you verified them with your partner (every place near the launch area was a 2 man zone), and then you both had to turn a key within a few seconds of each other. The keys were not within reach of each other.

Once the launch sequence began, you basically powered everything down. Once the keys are turned, it is autonomous, and you basically aren't needed anymore. You didn't know if it was real, or if it was a test, and you were not aware of whether the missile would even launch or not. When it did launch, and it ended up being a test, you were notified more or less by the arrival of the next shift. As he put it, if the next shift didn't arrive, then you'd wait it out until you ran out of food, and then figure out what you would do. But he discussed the overall setup, and said he'd turned that key many times, as had all the other officers.

The silo staff aren't going to know if its a legitimate launch or not, they are not trained to ask that question, and they are specifically conditioned in a way that leads me to believe that if an order came down, no matter how crazy, it would be executed by anyone who was outside of the decision hierarchy.
Let me drag this to something concrete: if you are interviewing, it is almost impossible to pass an amateur "Perl screen".

Every single person who doesn't use Perl every day, professionally knows a different subset of Perl. This is one of the few times where being more knowledgeable than the interviewer is also a problem. You will write something, and the interviewer will question you on it because he has never seen it.

I finally solved this problem by bringing one of my personal programs written in Perl and also rewritten in Python so we could talk about it. Now, the interviewer is in MY subset of Perl AND can't argue because I have working Perl code in front of him. This was back in the 1990's when everybody in VLSI design expected you to know Perl.

Because of this "different subset" issue, if you want to maintain a Perl script, you have to basically know the entire language. This is what makes maintaining Perl scripts so difficult.

This "different subset" problem is the whole reason I left the Perl ecosystem back in 1996(!) at the height of Perl's popularity and never looked back.
The line absolutely exists, it's just behind an abstraction barrier for read(), write(), and close() calls. The creator of a pipe calls pipe() or pipe2(), and holders of the fd can get access to pipe-specific features with fcntl() and ioctl().

Yeah, Flash created a golden age of indie animation and gaming. Although I think Macromedia has more to do with that than Adobe. Macromedia Flash was both affordable and easily pirateable, putting it in the hands of millions of budding artists.

Then Adobe bought it and duct-taped it to the Creative Suite and switched to a subscription-based business model.
There are differences in search results for sure. Political correctness is also a very broad field. Depending on topic it is sometimes biased and even filtered (e.g. nsfw content) by Google/Bing or search results in Google are too much SEO hacked in comparison to Yandex on first pages. I've never analysed in deep and don't have numbers but for some searches it is worth to check also Yandex.

But to be fair Google is often better... it depends on the topic you search for.

> The Alaska Highway, mentioned above, constructed across remote tundra, cost $793 per meter in 2019 dollars.

'the "highway" was not usable by general vehicles until 1943. Even then there were many steep grades, a poor surface, switchbacks to gain and descend hills ...' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_Highway#Construction) plus bridges which were temporary, impassable sections in 1943 when stuff started to melt, etc, etc ,etc.

A war-time dirt-road constructed by the army and only traversable by stuff that could probably go off-road anyway is not really the same as building something in an existing city which has to support regular bus traffic.

Student debt is one of the biggest assets of US Government.

I used to work in QA for a major drug company where we'd store the drugs for years at different temperatures and humidity, and every 3/6/12/18/24/48/60 months we'd test them in spectrometers, as well as testing for clumping in powders, colour changes, etc. One of our jobs was to make sure they didn't turn into anything nasty, but it was mainly making sure they stayed stable.

For all day-to-day drugs it's really a precaution rather than anything else. Usually they just become a little less effective by becoming less concentrated, but most of the ones I worked with even the 50/80(?) ones were still fine years later (stored at 50 degrees celsius, 80% humidity (I think? Was 20 years ago)). We had a special warm room where all the samples were kept.
hot take: private educational loans largely going away would be a good thing for education pricing

This is essentially how it works here in Canada.

In Canada, the vast majority of student loans are taken out directly from the government. You can't declare bankruptcy on a government-issued student loan until seven years after the last day you were a full-time student. After the seven year timer runs out, it's treated the same as any other unsecured debt and you can include it in a bankruptcy (equivalent to a Chapter 7 in the US) or a consumer proposal (equivalent to a Chapter 13 in the US).

Private student loans also exist, but unlike government loans they have no special protection - you can go bankrupt on them just like any other type of unsecured debt at any time. For this reason, private lenders almost always require a cosigner for these types of loans.
There’s really no axiomatic reason why the LLC has to be anonymous in the first place.

The whole concept of an LLC is a construct, a fictional entity intended to take the place of a person before the law. It is fundamentally a state created thing, there’s no issue of rights or natural law at stake here. It’s a privilege.

The usual goals stated for allowing corporations to exist at all are shared ownership and limited liability, to enable productive and speculative enterprise.

A single person who wants to hide within that structure doesn’t have any special claim on that right, unless they can demonstrate why the state should allow it, an argument that has to be made on the grounds of increased social good.

If we want anonymous property ownership we should legislate it. We don’t, real estate transactions are usually public.
Yes, that's bad. Do keep in mind, though, that in quite a few places the Alaska Highway was just tundra.

It was built in wartime (WW2) to get a land supply route to bases in Alaska as fast as possible. The intended use case was a convoy of military trucks with a engineers and repair gear who could fix the road as they travelled along it.

Impressive, but different from a modern highway.
Yes. In fact, including adversarial examples can be a great regularization technique, which leads to a system learning much more natural representations.

>mostly made of dark matter (80-90%) and most of the normal baryonic matter is in the form of a hot plasma

if you can answer it in the short post, how it is established that it is dark matter and not cold gas?
Eh. That's essentially just rand() with a fat disk. The real task is choosing which permutations to select and publish.

I could easily have a websites where any URL you went to was a valid article. For example, example.com/my-article-text-is-here would map to "my article text is here" but the point of creation isn't when you randomly enter in the URL, the point of creation is when some selection of tokens is chose for the actual article, and realistically the combinatorial explosion of human language has us covered.
and therefore, the price you're willing to pay for the 10th car is probably a lot lower than the price someone else may be willing to pay for their first.

The price you are willing to pay should be equal to your utility of the object.
> If I run a shell script I wrote ten years ago, it works.

I'll provide the counterexample.

Any scripts I wrote more than 10 years ago for actual "Bourne shell" /bin/sh often fail in mysterious (and sometimes silent) ways when run under bash.

Bash is just as guilty of backward incompatibility as Python is. Python at least generally has the decency to squawk about it.

IPv6 is already over 1/3 of traffic in the US, due to cross 50% this year. There are holdouts like GCP where you have to pay for more v4 usage but v6 isn't available but really deployment is doing quite well compared to 5 years ago. Also do not expect Asia to try to hold onto v4. I.e. it's slow but it's not being sniffled for the vast majority of users.

At this point the main thing holding back IPv6 adoption is enterprises that don't want to deal with it and home users with routers that don't have v6 function by default.

I switched to ddg a couple of months back. This wasn't my first switch away from google, I've always reverted back at some stage.

Meh, I trust pilots to handle planes well.

That being said, I don't like commuting by bike because of all the dorks going 50-60mph in a 35mph area. Not worth it. Also makes you think twice before slamming the accelerator when I myself drive. Something like every 10mph faster you go equates to like 50% higher risk of fatality- and when your knees and back are the crumple zones, no thank you!

Risks are an inherent part of life. I've dealt with a popped lung before- likely because of athletic activities- and I wouldn't not do those because I might get hurt. If you don't take risks, are you really alive?

this reply 100% mirrors my thoughts on the matter, all the way down to preferring re-installs over dist-upgrade's.

I like Linux, I don't dislike dealing with the OS. But I want to deal with it on my time. Expecting to get work done and then realizing something is broken and being forced to deal with it is a completely different proposition from picking out a weekend to reinstall your work PC with the newest LTS version.

Note how you have juxtaposed individual security with national security. But what is "national security", really? If it were the aggregate of individual security, then there would be no contradiction here - you achieve maximum national security by making everybody individually secure. That we see them as contradictory goals rather implies that "national security" is about something else. At which point I would say: yes, individual security is more important than "national security".

No, the concurrency of GCF is always 1. If the latency of your code handling request is 1s, to handle 100 requests per second you'll need to have 100 instances running.
I would like to see Mozilla Firefox be forced to do the same. As of now, they don't even notify the user of their default Google search to the users. So millions of their user url typing history are being recorded and sent to Google even if they don't use the search function specifically. This in someway has to violates the GDPR.

Distilling the android property as separate from search, and selling off the search bar to the highest bidder is the just way to create competition.

Some people are almost completely price insensitive for amounts in the low hundreds. They have a work budget that can be spent on training if they want, picking the better value $60 option wont gain them anything at all, and picking the $250 video option might end up being useful maybe. Like if they don't understand a concept the way its written, maybe it's explained differently in the video. It doesn't really matter. They aren't stopping to think about it. The cost is irrelevant to them and that package lists the most things they get.

I don't think anyone is arguing that the value to society is the same in both circumstances. But unless you want some kind of authoritarian state, it isn't your business what someone else does with their money. Assuming they didn't break the law to get it and they paid whatever taxes they owed on it, they can do anything they want with it, including setting it on fire.

Not only do drivers see your name, but I believe when you do a Shared Lyft, other riders also see your first name. And customer support will see your name as well.

In general, just because someone is providing a service to you (e.g. driving you, providing customer support, etc) doesn't mean they should be unnecessarily exposed to offensive language.
v6 is a perfectly fine protocol. It just lacked hardware and the pressure of actually being scarce on resources. I don't think anyone thought it would take 25 years to hit 50% adoption but now that we are getting close to that point it doesn't really make sense to swap again for something that's not supposed to solve any more problems.
