The origins of Lisp is 'list processing', hence the name, which is an abbreviation of 'List Processor'. John McCarthy et&al. designed & developed a programming system for list processing as a tool for symbolic AI programming. Earlier he experimented with list processing in Fortran, but wanted to have a whole new programming system.
The modern economy is a human invention. We can patch it with things like stimulus payments and eviction holds instead of blindly following it off a cliff into a worse health crisis. Sure we don't have infinite control over it, but we still have a lot.
I really liked that it had support for metaclasses.

However, UWP now makes COM quite nice to use, this was what VB 6 and C++ should have turned into, instead of racing after Java, and taking 20 years to do a full circle.
That legal barrier already exists - and the proscription is very broad. Why do you think we’ll just rip the bandage off instead of gradually phasing rent and mortgage payments back in?
> Why is any comment remotely construable as defending of the current administration automatically presumed to be made in bad faith?

First, because reputable media sources don't do "quiet retractions". The New York Times has a section for corrections: https://www.nytimes.com/section/corrections

If you catch them just deleting a full article, you'll be a hero for the alt-right. They've been complaining about the Iraq war coverage for the last 18 years, and at some point even they start finding it a little odd that there are no more recent example of major errors for something supposedly evil incarnate.

More or less the same applies to other reputable sources.

I believe part of the misunderstanding here is that your accusation, if true, would be far more serious than you believe it to be. Extraordinary claims require evidence of the same magnitude. But because you consider journalists to be routinely lying, you don't see the need for any evidence.

I consider it reasonable to expect people mentioning such a scandal, which they would have read about in the last week or so, to remember one or two details from the story, such as the outlet it supposedly ran in, or the place where it happened.

With the name or a state or hospital, plus maybe the publisher, it should be easy to find someone on twitter or reddit mentioning it, or other outlets picking up on the story (and its eventual fate).

Instead, this thread is now four-deep with meta discussion, but nobody has found a link which would easily settle the matter.

I stand by my scepticism.
none of it, and you know it.

i will concede that the media and his enemies have exacerbated his and the administration's behavior, but they are not the cause.

there is plenty of treasonous behavior that he does out in the open that does not require any so-called conspiracy theories.
> You don't mean "capitalist" here. You mean, "proponent of Free Markets."

I just mean any halfway intelligent person who has money and wants more. Their ideology doesn't matter.

> An equally profitable "capitalist" play would be to find out what companies currently benefit from the shortages and to buy those companies, thus securing their revenue.

No, it wouldn't. That's not how anything works. For one, those companies would be very expensive, precisely because they are making so much money. And more importantly, you keep treating this like it's a one player game. It's not. When thinking about how markets work you have to solve for the equilibrium of competing actors. If you go out and buy those companies, then the next guy is going to come along and build new apartments and all of a sudden you won't be able to charge exorbitant prices anymore.
> Python 2.7.18, the "last" release of Python 2

Fix't it for ya.
Yes, this was my reasoning. The most interesting thing of the article was the explanation why some companies wouldn't be eligible for aid - the fact that Denmark offers more aid isn't interesting, countries do that all the time now. However, excluding companies which use tax havens or pay out dividends is new.

Besides, editorializing is expressing an opinion, which is not something this title is doing - or am I seeing this wrong?
Even on a gaming laptop I'm usually playing at half-resolution, so I like 2160p or 2400p because for gaming that would be 1080 & 1200. Normally I'm running a text-dense setup where >1440p is very nice. :-)
same here. 6 years in the us. j1/h1 working on netsec research. i really want to quit and go back home to europe just to look at the sky or the walls a bit in order to relax. all this stress isn't worth it.
What's wrong about the tutorial? It walks you through the first 5% of the game. The remaining 95% unlock in a way that makes it obviously an improvement to something you have already. Personally I really liked it.
> That's what happened to fork the language, but really glosses on the "why." Paraphrased: "People were too lazy about using the unicode type and bytes type, so we forced all string constants to be unicode."

I strongly disagree. I actually tried using unicode correctly in python 2, it is actually quite hard. It's similar to using memory safely in C, it is possible, but there are many gotchas.

In python 3 all of this is done with no effort.
I see a 1440p display :( I have this currently.
> China has a firmer grasp on the problem of COVID-19

Between covering up the fact that their death rate was a few orders of magnitude higher and deciding to intentionally leaving out infected but asymptomatic cases from their infection statistics while boasting that new cases occurred due to infected foreigners entering the country , it's patently obvious that the Chinese regime does not and never had a good grasp on the problem.

And if that does not convince you, let's not forget that the Chinese regime's talking heads tried to pin the blame of their outbreak on Italy.

Sorry, I’m not 100% sure what I can share. But I do know that we are still adding cars to the site daily.
You've solved the problem of accuracy, but you've now introduced a huge recall problem. Your query will never find a page advertising 'the best shirts without stripes', as it contains the word 'stripes'.

To be useful, Google must solve natural language problems. You can't solve natural language problems by using formal language in sine bits of the problem, at least not until we have a full Chomsky-style understanding of the whole of human language.
That’s actually not true. We are talking 0.2-0.3% lethality which is still a lot but it will bellow 250k deaths even if we are back to full normal right now.

Current estimations are 60-70k deaths from it but the doubling of suicides resulting of lockdowns this year to 100k make us more likely to die from suicide than covid-19.

>Few will forget that in the same week that the Trump administration banned travel from Europe (without any advance notice), the Chinese government sent medical equipment including masks, ventilators, protective suits and doctors to Italy and Spain. This is why the Group of Seven countries resisted pressure by America to call covid-19 the “Wuhan virus” in a communique after a virtual meeting in March.

No, we ignored Trump's spin because it's on the nose nonsense and we've got better things to do than turning everything into a tool for political gain.

Nobody's blind regarding China's « help », and we'd rather do without.

> This guy just uses these puff pieces to get himself more limelight/business. As a self-professed former pop-music manager, he certainly knows how to market himself.

I used to work with this nurse who wasn't very good at his job and most people didn't like working with him. He hired a PR agency and suddenly was being highlighted in all these news articles as a medical expert/color commentary and getting listed on "Top Emergency Nurse" lists. He flew to various environmental disasters to help out but they were mainly just ego trips to get in the news. For example when there was an avalanche on Everest and many people died, he took a month off work and flew there to basically screw around "volunteering." He would come back and post the articles about himself on our bulletin board in the breakroom.

He got let go after having a third affair with a coworker and during a messy breakup she complained that he played porn on his computer during a work meeting.

We had something kind of similar for a large e-commerce project. Docker was loading the site super slow with a mapped drive so we had the brilliant idea to rsync the files from OSX into the container using a file watcher. This meant the page loads were faster , but it could take even longer for the watcher to diff the changes and sync them back up to the container. Pretty annoying.

At some point, the container got optimized to not need the sync anymore for acceptable load times. Nobody is sure what we changed to help that out. ️

Well, I would rather trust S.K. officials than U.S. officials in the current administration. Even Joo Seong-Ha, one of the most trustworthy source for North Korea, asserts that this is a 100% false report.

> You can get some amazing new car deals right now (the sellers are desperate for obvious reasons) and load rates are super low too.

I was going to say the same thing, Nissan has been in dire straights since the whole Ghosn fiasco [1] (a very interesting read into the shady business practices, geopolitics and nationalism within the International Auto Industry) and are giving out sweetheart deals.

A family member just upgraded to a new Altima with $0 down and 3 months covered, free delivery costs and because of their stellar repayment on the loan got instantly approved on a 1% interest rate on financing through Nissan itself.

I will say this as a person that worked in the Industry, specifically at VW during the diesel-gate scandal and buy-back program: VW never went that low on financing to sell cars as they were hemorrhaging Billions and their execs were being hunted and getting thrown in prison.

If we 'did our jobs correctly' in handling the customers most would just use their most of their refund checks as down payments and buy another one with a 5%+ 'VW loyalty' rate.

This is a buyers Market, even Toyota [2] is asking for lines of credit right now things are so bad!

Thedailywtf stories are generally some mix of fiction and fact. They take a presumably first-hand account from an insider and change a bunch of details to anonymize it and enhance it for dramatic effect.

I'd guess, for this particular story, that at least the misparsing of XML for a futures contract actually happened, and maybe that some producer consequently had to ask about the feasibility of delivering to a corporate office that happened to be in former docklands. It's entirely possible that the commodity involved was not coal, and it's extremely unlikely that a guy showed up one day at the front desk with a clipboard and barges outside.

In response to skepticism in the comments, the article's author gives an example of a futures contract on eggs where delivery was accidentally taken: https://web.archive.org/web/20090925022603/http://www.minyan...
Another favourite that I'd been missing since switching from Eclipse (back around Eclipse 3.6/4.2 days) is Field Call Hierarchy. Cursor on a data element and get the 'call hierarchy' from it.

Of course fields aren't 'called' per se, so JetBrains didn't do this. I'd been promoting issue IDEA-160274 where ever I could and now you can cursor on a field and press Ctrl+Alt+H (macOS) and see references to that field, and then selectively expand those references in a caller tree.

Python is currently one of the most successful languages out there. Most of the growth at this point is coming from python 3. So, from that point of view, it's been a huge success.

If at this point you are still stuck on 2.7; you probably don't care a lot about updates in any case; including point releases. It's been well over a decade since it was made clear that this was going to end. So, IMHO the impact to remaining 2.7 users is minimal. They were in any case extremely conservative updating and are probably also running lots of other outdated stuff like Red Hat / Ubuntu versions that long dropped out of LTS, etc. That's fine and valid but at this point you shouldn't be surprised that you are on your own. If you didn't plan for this, that's on you.

From a security point of view that just means you probably don't want to run unprotected 2.7 servers running e.g. a web server. But otherwise it's fine if you shield it a bit. Lots of python is more about other types of jobs where the impact of security vulnerabilities is much less.

And, I'm sure that if there's demand, somebody might actually step up to do the occasional patch release if it is really needed. This has also happened in the Java world where several companies provide support for openjdk 6, 7, and 8 where Oracle no longer supports that (v8 stopped getting public updates already; you can still pay for some extended support but that too is being ramped down). I imagine, e.g. Red Hat might step up here as they seem to have continued to ship this for quite long and their LTS cycles might out run the python 2.7 cut off date.
To be fair, the first and last query would also confuse me if someone asked me for that item. "Shirt without paisley" feels a bit like "cereal without elephants." You don't usually explicitly exclude an element that is relatively uncommon.
What you've described is not simple logical inference, it is logical inference from common sense knowledge. This is an extremely hard problem, much harder than solving attribution in such simple cases.

Most likely, common sense reasoning will be required to get full natural language processing, since human communication relies extremely often on such reasoning. But building a knowledge base of common sense facts will be one of the hardest challenges ever attempted in machine learning/artificial intelligence.

> Her first patient was 51. I bet that's younger than most of you are thinking when you think "vulnerable." It looks like he's going to make it and drop into that large "didn't die" bucket I see referred to here over and over, but to get there he spent _five weeks_ in an ICU bed on a ventilator. My wife has treated lots of elderly people. She's also treated people in their 30's and 40's. People in those age groups have died. Children have died, too.

Anecdotal cases don't tell anything. Those people and kids could have other undiagnosed diseases or preconditions, they could lie about age, they could even have been miscategorized. All statistics shows that people at risks are 60+ , and people with another comorbidity. Just one example of study :

There's a way, but I did not do it outside of just POC. It's actually possible to compile legacy code using Cython and import it to python 3, then I suppose you could convert one file at a time.

It's possible that this might be more work that if you would use pylint, mypy, python-future. Also it probably won't work if your code tries to be clever and does some import hacking (although who knows, maybe it still would work)
Correct.
Small project turns into a bigger project, I think I can get through some complicated piece and BAM. I'm fighting silly typing issues and writing tests for stuff I would never have to do if I used typescript. While majority of my stuff is not that complicated, it seems there is always something.

I also wear a bunch of hats. So retaining all the new knowledge gets a bit hard. Sometimes its easier for me to fall back to patterns I used over the past 20 years of full stack development. If I had the time I would use typescript everywhere.
Yes. I thought about words people use in priming studies, usually in order to trigger a behavior, and just typed the word with space and "person" appended.

I did use images.google.se in order to tell google which country I wanted my bias from since that is the culture and demographics I am most familiar with. I also only looked at photos of a person and ignored emojis.

I have also seen here on HN links to websites that have captured screen shots of word association from google images and published them so you could click a word see the screen shot. They tend to follow the same line as above, but with some subtle differences, and I suspect that is the country culture being just a bit different to mine.

Cases in which a better, or often simply more expensive good dominates over less expensive ones, does occur. See generally Veblen goods.

In almost all cases, the good itself is a signalling. mechanism for a yet-more complex construct, almost always related to identity, status, and/or power.

The expensive good serves as a more readily apprehended or perceived marker for the less clearly discernable status. Price may itself be part of the signalling, or costs. might be in the form of complex and arcane acquisition of knowledge: language, accent, slang, religious tradition & rituals, dress, table manners, food, culinary knowledge, wine, sports knowledge, programming languages, technical tools or skills, cultural or musical knowledge, management practices, academic arcana, ideological dogma, etc.

Almost any domain which might be considered fad-driven. or fad-like, very possibly has an element of this signalling associated with it.

This doesn't explain Staten Island. Its population density is half of San Francisco's, its population half, but has had 533 deaths vs. SF's 20.

And a sibling thread mentioned the subway; it doesn't go to Staten Island.
So the used car market doesn’t know what Covid-19 means exactly to car values. Sales across the industry are down, and auctions have halted. So price discovery is harder than usual.

So it could be a good time because prices may fall further, or maybe not they may bounce higher. It’s likely not better than pre-covid, but so many things influence the used car market that it’s pretty up in the air right now. I say if you get a value that seems fair to you, then it’s a good time to sell.

Edit: also depending on your state it may make more sense to buy and trade the car in the same transaction. You can get some pretty hefty sales tax benefits from that.
I believe it's being called a loan because there are provisions in which it will not be forgiven. Such as if you lay off employees or furlow before a certain date. I don't have first hand knowledge though, only from someone who went through the process.
"A broken code that happily executed"?

I think that's unfair. There was plenty of code that was out there for 10 years or more that was working completely fine and had to be ported. One of the most frustrating things I had to do was completely rearchitect some legacy binary file reading/writing because of the changes to how Python handled bytes. That code was out there as open source in the wild, stable, and was being widely used, and it basically required a full rewrite underneath the API.

One of the most frustrating things was that many packages we used as dependencies took ~5 years to port to Python 3, and then dropped Python 2 support immediately, leaving us with no choice but to use the old version for some time. We'd done a lot of the easy stuff already (2to3 on all files), but lots of the non-trivial things were the interactions with other packages so couldn't be touched until they had themselves got a Python 3 version.
Correct. Most of my projects now and days are under 300hrs greenfield stuff. I do feel typescript can be a little more overhead to get started, once you have some well established patterns IMO its great for more enterprisey projects.
