That's a sunken cost fallacy. Only because other things are hackable as well doesn't mean there is no danger.

Well the great news is that its Lisp, the language is simple. You have the same problem with other languages, except if you used C++, everything just got a magnitude more complicated, both because the whole thing is more complex and the ecosystem is changing and developing more rapidly.

I have made a codebase where all the C and C++ glue is already taken care of, as well as the build system:

https://github.com/fwsGonzo/barebones

However, nothing else. So it's a starting point for a beginner. I don't know if its the perfect starting point or not, but at least you won't be stuck with all the setup. If you are writing an OS in another language you can probably get some inspiration as well, as for example I did implement basic ubsan support.

Some fun facts:

There is a C++ exceptions example that shows that with the compiler runtime as well as a libunwind you can catch C++ exceptions, but only if you create the exception fully yourself, as there is no standard library. It does add a bit of bloat, so it's not really intended for OS development.

There is an example of how to runtime load a library, and call into it. No runtime linking, just an exchange of call table.

There is very primitive backtrace functionality in the panic function simply by using compiler builtins. No way to convert the addresses to function + offset because there is no symbol table. One cool way to do this is to link the kernel, generate an ELF section that contains only the function symbols, and then append it to the end of your kernel. During initialization you can then use it for backtraces. It's also fairly architecture independent, as you will only have to distinguish between 32- and 64-bit symbols.
you can join a mining pool.

Ever since I saw Ray Dalio's video about the economy and long term debt cycle I have been really worried.

The thing that scares me more is that we don't hear any politicians talking about this stuff. In particular presidential candidates. The only one that seems to actually understand technology and the economy (Yang) is proposing an increase in entitlements, although hopefully the VAT can improve revenue somewhat. I know he knows who Ray Dalio is since he mentioned his name.

I think there needs to be a plan for an international system that is not dominated by one country like the US dollar and is technologically sophisticated. Some kind of multi-government backed cryptocurrency, possibly paired with a decentralized resource tracking system.

I feel like there are a bunch of people who think there is no problem and a bunch on the other side who think the situation is dire. My guess is that there is a real situation that we have to plan for and it seems like a very bad idea to put off that planning.

By which they mean "the real-time mid-market rate is something that some unnamed provider made up and claims is representative of actual rates."

They give EUR/USD to two digits of precision. The actual spreads quoted by anyone who isn't trying to utterly screw you over is much, much tighter than 0.01. Different parties will have different ideas of the current and historical bids and offers.

Using a service like this is probably fine for display purposes and maybe okay for some accounting purposes as long as no one is going to audit it or care about the results being entirely correct. Using it for transactions would be a bad idea.
Also the problem with GMOs is it transfers ownership of the plant from the public to the large companies that have modified it (as they will inventibly want to patent it). Is it really fair that they take thousands of years of evolution, change a gene or two, and become the sole owner of the strain? And often limiting the ability of the plant to reproduce, so you have to buy more seed from them. If it continues that way the amount of plants available under public ownership will continue to decrease.

Common sense is not just a large number of sanity checks, it also includes the ability to solve some of the problems identified by failed sanity checks. For example, common sense might lead you to break the road rules in an emergency, or drive a car with a safety problem for a short distance instead of getting it towed.

Not at all. I should have expected such a reply though tbh.

Many men work long hours and miss out on their family time. Also men typically work more dangerous jobs and are more likely to die on the job. They are also more less likely to win custody in separation. Men are more likely to commit suicide.

> Why is lisp always rejected?

It isn't always. I have a consulting gig for a chip design company that uses Common Lisp internally. It's one of their principal competitive advantages.

But mainly it's a vicious cycle: no one uses it because no one uses it. Employers don't use it because they think (mostly correctly) that they can't find CL coders, and no one learns CL because no one hires CL coders.
> At least those who do, want to learn because they can build cool things they can show off to friends.

I have no doubt about what you say. I had a really broken laptop that my 3rd grader happily tookover as his laptop, a linux machine mind you, about which he knew nothing about. I showed him how to open a terminal and use some bash commands, and how to invoke the Python interpreter and import a turtle graphics module. He was hooked and had lots of fun moving the turtle around (along with the incentive to learn some math at his level). I remember the day he walked to school with this duck taped laptop on a show and tell day, which ended up with the school's IT departement making Python available on all computers in that elementary school lab. I don't think he could have pulled this off in lisp. Beautiful language Lisp,but I don't see how I could have helped with graphics programming within an hour or so -- which was all what he was interested in.
The new UI in Catalina is worse. You cannot view other albums when you have an album open, instead you have to click a button to go back for viewing all the albums again. I also think the music app takes way too much space of the screen for what it needs shown to function. Apple must not have anyone seriously working on it.

I am confused... I still sync my phone to my iTunes on my computer. There is no other way to add music that I get from outside of Apple.

> strangely very friendly to Russia on all other matters

This "friendly" policy is basically not considering what Russia does within its borders justification for military action. This was always the unofficial policy, with the new bit being the Trump administration doesn't pass moral judgement on what Russia does within its borders.

A pipeline between germany and Russia strengthens Russia (increased GDP, increased control over the EU) and weakens the EU (which is full of countries that have proven they cannot defend themselves). Increasing the chance of war with Russia, and creating another mess for the US to clean up.

Seems pretty consistent foreign policy to me.
I don't get the systemd hate in this specific case. Their timers are pretty much the best possible option you have to schedule jobs, hands down. No cron Daemon is ever going to get there due to the lack of deep integration with the rest of the init system.

I know it takes a while to get used to the ini file madness, but honestly, I can't detect so much boilerplate there: every single line in my units and timers makes sense.

If you're not familiar with that system yet, I can only encourage you to at least take a look at systemd timers. They are really cool! :)

I think C and C++ are the most popular languages for hard real time development, so you'll have better OS support, better best practices, more experience if you choose one of those.

I'm the author of the OP so I can speak to this with some authority: I discovered Lisp very early in my career and I stuck with it mainly because I'm lazy. I can get things done in Lisp with 1/10th the effort it would take in any other language, and it just steams my clams to have to do extra work when I know there's a better way.
Probably not much different from a car with a manual transmission (especially diesels), where the engine does most of the braking. The brakes on my mk4 VW Jetta TDI easily lasted more than four years[1], and even then only because corrosion killed them[2]. So I don't expect there to be much savings there.

[1] The original clutch was changed at 450000 km.

[2] The brake pads separated from the backing, even though they were only half-worn. Higher-quality pads might have prevented this, but the previous owner installed them.
I wasn't asked more difficult questions in 2007, when I got my first programming job. Several years on, we had some discussions about what kind of questions to ask candidates. One place I applied to more recently had a flowchart reading test that must have been from the punched card era.

So I don't concede the point, anyway.

But, the examples above definitely do compare more and less computer focused things.

Can someone explain this to the uninitiated? I remember when that black hole picture came out, it turned out actually to be: "how this algorithm we invented generates an image of a black hole", so not really a "picture" in the colloquial sense.

Here I'm having trouble understanding how we could actually "record video" of a bond forming and I'm not even sure the words "record" and "video" are what I think they mean. For instance, could the frame rate of our video-recording technology really be high enough to "capture" something that probably happens near-instantaneously? And what "wavelength" is the light used to record these videos -- wouldn't it need to be tinier than the kind of light we usually use, in order to capture atoms? I'm sorry if this is vague, but I don't know enough terms to pose this question rigorously.
I agree, this is really just a "how to boot x86" rather than an actual kernel. But then, they're just using GRUB to boot into 32-bit (Which is the best way to do it) which means their "kernel" does basically nothing - they're just writing to 0xB8000.

I second xv6, it's a bit simplistic, and not the cleanest, but it really shows the basics of a 'real' kernel - locking and task scheduling, a basic file-system and block layer, some userspace utilities, and fantastic documentation (There's a whole book!).
You are right, I was thinking of CVS.

In any case, with SVN you usually do not want to give write perms to everyone in all the tree, so you end up with effectively partitioned spaces, or you make several repos instead, or you put another layer on top. With Git, anyone can easily develop global commits.
Note, the point is not to overthrow the government in any real sense, but rather to make it incredibly costly and perhaps outright infeasible for the government to actively use state-organized violence against its own people, as dictatorships everywhere are wont to do. Combine an armed populace with a strong tradition of being loyal to the Constitution and its principles first and foremost, even in the context of a standing army or similar, and it's especially clear what the 2nd Amendment was supposed to achieve.

Am I correct in thinking that most people use autopilot in the most boring parts of or most boring drives?

It seems to me that knowing the autopilot isn't 100% perfect is a good reason to not rely on it in more dangerous or complicated scenarios (construction, roads with poor markings, school areas).

I haven't followed too closely here though, just curious if that is a reasonable hypothesis.

Students in South-Korea have a strong prep culture, and are already trying to game these types of interviews. It is much harder than gaming skill-based tests ("Don’t force a smile with your lips, smile with your eyes.").

> The AI interview is too new, so job applicants don’t know what to prepare for and any preparations seem meaningless since the AI will read our faces if we make something up.

I strongly feel the market will work itself out: If AI interviews bias companies to hire hoop-jumping and actors, in half a decade, other, more traditional hiring companies will eat their lunch. If the AI interviews only deliver top notch candidates... it is working as intended, and who am I to complain about my own lack of prep or acting skills? Not like whiteboarding or being able to quickly think on your feet without access to StackOverflow is biased against me already, and companies who use these for hiring seem to be doing just fine.

I think a lot of people sharing this sentiment assume cars will always be there, or at least will still be relevant when we finally have generic autonomous driving nailed down.

If it takes 50 years to have a fully ready environment with beacons, networking etc., will we still be riding “cars” on “streets” ? I ‘d guess when we reach that point we’ll also have solved the “getting from A to B” in completely different ways.
For the false names thing, are you by chance doing whois lookups on IP addresses? If so then that's just the messy nature of the beast. One issue is that WHOIS records don't get updated sometimes, but what you're seeing is most likely the legitimate owner of the IP. So, someone else (coge t in your example) may own the IP, but if they purchase transit from that IP owner, the IP will be delegated to them but still owned by Cogent.

As for the rest of your concerns. First, I would like to see some empirical data on your research. Second,what is your security model? VPNs are not that great at anonymity.

You're not trying to hide from a global adversary (like nsa,gru,gchq,etc..) Using VPNs right...because even slapping Tor on that won't help you there.

My theory is that they're cheap enough as a resellerand they target VPN providers as customers because there is a lot less support cost with them.

The thing about suspicions and conspiracies is that they mean little without independently corroborating evidence. Try to collect facts that prove your suspicion.
Amen. The forex market is very different than the stock market. FX is relationship driven. What this means is that the prices you can get are based on the relationship you negotiate with your provider.

When Forex prices flash across cspan or similar they are typically quoting the interbank offered rate. Retail traders don’t get anything close to this rate. You usually go through several intermediaries who each add a spread. There’s not best price law in fx.

Using prices from retail fx brokers usually isn’t a good idea either since their spreads are so outrageous. Oanda has reasonable rate info I’m told, but it’s more geared for professional traders.

iCloud seems to do a fine job backing up photos and videos. When I get a new iPhone, I don't even take a manual backup -- I just login to iCloud and wait for everything to sync. iCloud restore populates all my apps, settings, photos, videos, etc. Apart from having to setup FaceID and re-enter passwords, it's like nothing changed.
Several aspects of this seem rather outdated from a software perspective (NB: I'm not commenting on potential utility for language work). It's Windows, only emulated for Mac/Linux, has several other hints that it's really old (who touts DBMS like it's the 90s, even if that's what's behind something) and crucially it's not open source.
But seriously, I think it is probably a good idea, if you have to throw out 90% of applications to start, to do it randomly if the alternative is a dubious statistical or ML-derived model. It would make me feel better from the point of view of hiring or as a candidate, not to have the risk of an unforeseen undesirable bias.
