I think you got this backwards. Common Lisp does have `first` and `rest` as synonyms for `car` and `cdr`. As far as I know, Scheme does not. I believe you have to use `car` and `cdr` there (unless, of course, you define your own synonyms).

I could be wrong about Scheme: My Scheme knowledge is badly outdated, and was always incomplete.
And there are solutions to this. From what I understand (which isn't very much), the SolidWorks (a 3d CAD tool) team has their own version control system, called PDM, which works with the Microsoft office suite.

next is organizations getting over the hurdle of educating people how to use version control.

Also - I think the current generation of office stores everything in XML, which can then be processed through git, svn, etc.
It's way more complicated than that.

Now that deploying a website is 1 click, what kinds of mistakes go away, what other processes you can integrate with that deploy, and what is the gain of deploying more often?

For the specific case of deployment, just by the chance of error, I would say it's already above break-even on the first deployment.
Buybacks are fine, just offer the bailout paid in stock and allow the company to repurchase later.
Thanks for pointing this out, I think for most people bankruptcy is thought of as the event horizon of a black hole, where in reality it’s a debt restructuring that really only affects the CEO/board, who, you know, are supposed to take the blame for mismanagement.

There is no data here and nothing to really talk about. This type of thing 100% needs actual trials, papers and time before being an issue.

(1) The sample of people who went to hospital are presumably already more susceptible to lung disease than the normal population.

(2) This doesn't include a comparison to the existing flu and other existing diseases. Maybe some percent of ordinary flu cause long term symptoms and they just don't get picked up. A surprising number of people will be quietly nursing chronic conditions and not talking about them.

(3) How many people are we talking here? Need to see some %. There are people who die of flesh eating bacteria; world is a scary place. If it only affects a small number of people it isn't that important.
why is this different? because unlike the flu, sars-cov-2 has 8.5 billion immunologically naive hosts.
Also when WeWork inevitably dies in a fire, all of their real estate will come onto the market.
No one can claim vaccines are "safe".

Of course not, but they do anyway as I'm sure you must know!

Imagine someone who is just starting to worry about vaccines does a google search and ends up on this top result:

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

It says: "Arguments against vaccination are contradicted by overwhelming scientific consensus about the safety and efficacy of vaccines.[5][6][7][8]"

The first citation for this claim is an article on the WHO website which quotes Dr Giovanni Rezza, Director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Italy’s National Institute of Health. He says:

"The media often sets up a false opposition between public health officials and anti-vaccination campaigners, rather than conveying a clear message that there is an overwhelming scientific consensus in favour of nationally recommended vaccines"

Scientists are quite happy to insist that there's no debate to be had at all; this is very far from it being all about relative risks which reasonable people can disagree on.

Unless the "anti-vaxxers" are basing their arguments upon quantitative data, then I'll continue to view them as crackpots with little knowledge or understanding.

I assume any anti-vaxxer with any knowledge would cite a case like Pandemrix, which does have quantitative data. In fact DanBC provided some: maybe 5000 long term cases in the USA if everyone had been vaccinated. But I think you must admit, clear data is a luxury that nobody seems to have about viral spread. The numbers for how many people got Swine Flu vary dramatically depending on who you ask, even today. If I were asked to support an anti-vaxxer in a debate, I'd point out there's no reason to believe scientists can accurately weigh the costs and benefits of vaccines given their inability to even tell us accurately how many people die of the flu each year, and the fact that diseases caused by vaccines only become widely accepted years after the fact.
I certainly agree that if you need the Python ecosystem, then Hy makes development much more enjoyable, at least it does for me. I look at Hy in the same way as Armed Bear Common Lisp: as a great tool is I need the Java ecosystem.
My pleasure, thank you.

apart from the political explanation there are also the philosophical roots of Greece as the birthplace of Western civilization. A country that builds on this can be part of the Western World.

Druckenmiller Says Risk-Reward in Stocks Is Worst He’s Seen
I worked for EDS from late 90s to early 00s and SAP was _everywhere_. Projects were scoped and framed as "how can we fit this into SAP?" - and not "how can SAP help this project?"

SAP is/was virulent in nature. If you used it for one thing it damn near forced you to use it for everything. A significant chunk of the work EDS were undertaking (as IT outsource) was migrating to SAP.

Our timesheets, project plans, data, hell even a huge chunk of our app development was done in SAP. We were paying through the nose for SAP contractors too.

I find it interesting how over 20-30 years corporations have reprogrammed people to believe working from home (WFH) is a perk and not a burden. And, people are celebrating how progressive these companies are. Twitter or any other company is not being benevolent by letting employees work from home, they figured out that they can shift a lot of their cost of real estate, utilities, and office furniture and equipment to employees. Will they compensate employees for allocating area of their home to office work, spending more on utilities, buying furniture and other tools for work?

Companies used to provide lot of benefit allowances for using personal items, space and time for company work like, home office, equipment, personal car, phone, on-call, education and training, etc. Slowly, slowly these benefits have been discontinued for everyone, except top executives, in the name of cost savings for the company, and such costs were shifted to employees. Based on such history of taking away benefits from rank and file and giving to top corporate executives, I doubt any of the corporate cost savings from WFH will go to employees.
> I see your point but [...] I'd rather not see my search results in the webshop polluted

There's three issues with this:

1. In UX, hiding things is a lazy solution to not being able to effectively differentiate items by relevance. There isn't an easy one-size-fits-all answer to doing the latter, which is why you need good, experienced UX people. Hiding things is what the inexperienced/lazy/bad ones do instead.

2. "Polluted" is also a codeword for "not of the clean, white, zero-inbox aesthetic I desire", and in certain situations this excuse is overused to enormously degrade UX in favour of a contrived sense of visual "cleanliness". A functional UI shouldn't be "clean", it should contain all the information you need to see (in a clear, differentiable, non-confusing way).

3. This is a stretch, but I think ideal system would differentiate between "currently out of stock" and "discontinued", and filtering out the latter is slightly less of a glaring issue.
> The death rates are also following a similar bell curve across the world, seemingly independent of any lockdown policy.

I don't know what you mean, except that they go up exponentially and then they go down exponentially and so that's a "bell" curve[1]. The important metric isn't the shape of the thing, it's the size. And the sizes of these curves very widely between nations, tracking lockdown agility and adherence surprisingly well.

[1] That observation is, frankly, pretty trivial. Outbreaks grow with some probability from every individual case, so the derivative is proportional to the value of the function, always. They must have an exponential shape on both sides. That's just math.
I could well be, but do you have any more information/hypotheses about why they need 50-500 people working on Logic?

How to migrate a VueJs project to NuxtJs in 8 steps
I was a member of the hang gliding club at Imperial College in London
in the early 90s. A member of our club, Yasmin Saudi, organized a hang
gliding expedition in Jordan involving a couple of lucky members (not
me) and British women's hang gliding champion Judy Leden. King Hussein
kindly provided a military escort and had a personal audience with the
participants. He also stayed in touch afterwards, and a year or so
later when Yasmin was dying of cancer he frequently called the
hospital. He stayed friends with Judy Leden and according to an
interview of her whose source I can't remember he sometimes visited
the UK unofficially and dropped in for a cup of tea. Other things I've
heard about him are that he donated one of his official residences for
use as an orphanage and sometimes visited the kids to be supportive
and give them video games. I have a feeling he may have been one of
the good guys as world leaders go.
If it happens it's their own fault. Over the last decade their leadership have spent ~96% of their free cash flow on stock buybacks. Boeing itself while not the bankruptcy target of this article has spent 74%. Stock buybacks are designed to simply prop up the share price to allow the leadership teams to hit their bonus targets. If they had simply done what individuals are expected to do and save money they would likely be fine. This collapse is a reminder that we need to fundamentally change the way corporations are structured and start encouraging more focus on the business as a whole, especially its employees rather that obsess over stock price and executive compensation. 2008 was a reminder as well but we ignored it, just as I am sure we will ignore this one. In the meantime they get massive bailouts while letting employees go.
The article skims over Pascoe's conflict with Bolt and Cashman. If you're interested in the agriculture, then that's for the best, but otherwise, here's a view on it:

A company worth a lot of money that has existed for 80 years isn't a unicorn, it's just a company worth $1B+.

Ideally make it a choice - I don't like it when I order by price and it's overriden to (availability, price) - maybe it's out of stock because the price is that good, and I'm willing to wait.
Prescription drugs are legitimately scary though. As are cars and surgeries.

I'd argue that too many people are numb to these risks. Popping a pill should be seen as scary. Driving two blocks down is making a life/death risk calculation. Sure some people will take that risk every day, dozen of times a day, without nothing happening.

But we should still acknowledge there is a risk, and I'd argue it should be reduced to whatever level makes sense for the situation and not shrug it away as "it's just life"

PS: this is mostly a reaction to "we would have to shut down life as we know it".
My point "life as we know it" shouldn't be the status quo.
Karim from Memgraph here. Thanks for the questions. Are you referring to geospatial capabilities? If I understand correctly, you would like to add geospatial coordinates to specific elements in the graph (e.g. power stations, power lines etc) and be able to search and query for specific areas (e.g. countries, cities, etc)?

If that's the case, although we don't have direct support for Geospatial data format, you can easily encode it into your graph by setting coordinate as a property on your nodes and edges.

Does this answer your question?

Hi, today I wrote my first article on Medium explaining how you can migrate/convert your Vuejs app to a NuxtJs app in 7 steps.

I decided to write it because I faced that issue the last week. I had a Vue app that I wanted to rebuild completely using NuxtJs but I didn't find any useful guide of how to do it on the internet. So, once I finished rebuilding my website I decided to write my find outs.

For sure, is far to be a perfect guide, but I think is still a good point to start. Let me know if you have any doubts or you think I should add something else.

I hope it helps.
I once had an electrical engineering exam and had the textbook brazenly lying open on my desk and trying to find something. The teacher made his rounds through the class, me assuming that he just hadn't noticed. After the third round when he walked by he put his hands on the book and said "If you haven't found it by now you might as well stop".

That's it, no repercussion.

That's something I will remember for the rest of my life. I do believe that people will always try to find an easier solution for a problem, that does not mean the punishment has to be too excessive.

If you notice that cheating attempts get out of hand take correctional steps before hand, by for example taking them in shifts to increase space between the students, and interrupt cheating attempts when they happen.

Just using draconian measures to try and make everyone behave is a lazy solution for a social problem.

I've posted about this here before, but since the end of the dot-com era (for me, 10/2001), I've ONLY worked at home except for travel, and a brief period early in one startup when we had an office in a tech incubator about a mile from my house.

(We realized it wasn't worth the rent, and gave it up after about 6 months.)

Some of those years were very travel heavy -- fullish time on the road -- but for the last 10 client travel has vanished in favor of GoToMeeting conferences.

I love it. I love the flexibility of it, I love not having a commute, and I love not having dry cleaning bills anymore. The music in my office is whatever I want. If I feel like it, I can catch a nap. And I love being able to eat at home, where one can make MUCH healthier choices.

People SAY they'd miss the water cooler, but in my whole career I've only had co-workers I really really liked on a social level in one company. It's rare.

My current employer -- where I've been for almost 13 years, which shocks me -- is entirely virtual. We have no office space anywhere, and the closest other employee to me is about 4 hours away by car. I have colleagues that, until recently, I'd never even seen a picture of.

I get that not everyone is constitutionally able to do this. I came to it from heavy travel (even pre-2001), so I was used to working in weird places (hotel rooms or lobbies; airport bars; frequent-flier clubs; taxis) already, and I think that made it easier.

I also get that it's not even appropriate for everyone, and that our success at my current company is tied to the fact that we have never had "entry level" developers. I think it'd be super hard to mentor and acculturate and teach this way.

But as for me, at this point I'd have a very hard time going back to an office.
