> Its performance is quite competitive when set against Fortran and C.

No, not at all. It is the same level as Java, a bit slower but I guess that is because there is more work done on Java. Just because you compile a language doesn't mean it is as fast as other compiled languages. You can compile python down to a binary but it will still be super slow.
Though the claim is made under US law, similar anti-circumvention provisions exist in international law, which is highly standardised in large part thanks to the RIAA, MPAA (video), SIIA (software), WIPO, and other copyright monopoly cartels' special-interest deep-pockets lobbying. Offshore legal safe havens are limited and vulnerable. Defence within DMCA /anti-circ / WIPO / Berne regions is unfortunately necessary. Simply hosting the repository outside US jurisdiction is not sufficient, though a valid immediate response.

Not all that useful really. The icon is small and gets easily missed. Also, when you're presenting, you can't see it at all which is mind-blowingly stupid to me. If there was ever a time I want to know if somebody has a question, it's when I'm in lecture mode and can't see people's faces.
I don't understand why the author only buys laptops without UEFI: I never had problem installing Linux on any machine.

And as far as USB2 limiting backups speed, I would look at a NAS with gigabit Ethernet which any old laptop should have.
Ohh TIL but my other point still stands.
Almost by definition information that was stolen via hacking is true, unless for some bizarre reason the victim was privately forging documents about themselves, which nobody has ever alleged.

At any rate, the OP merely observed that people supporting Twitter can't get their story straight: half are claiming it's Russian disinformation (again) and others that it's hacking (but supposedly it's not), and those two narratives aren't compatible.

If you can first understand the point of a comment, instead of not understanding it, the we can indeed have a discussion.
All I can say is that I find the complexity manageable, which is obviously because I've spent enough time using the tool that it doesn't scare me. Perhaps that is the solution? Use the tool until one is comfortable with it? It seems to me the alternative is a bunch of ad-hoc, half-baked procedures that are going to cause a lot more pain down the line.

Or, of course, sitting down and writing a better tool than git (or svn, mercurial, etc). Personally, that's too much hassle given that someone has already done the work and all I have to do is learn how to use the program, which is much easier and much less time consuming.

In general, that's why I use other peoples' software, even when I disagree with the logic behind them and I would do a better job if I had a go at it (which is, of course, always).

Writing is huge help for me. One issue I have (a perfectionist streak?) is that I tend to treat written things as a wiki-style knowledge garden system. This is a huge time sink. Whenever I want to add some detail I have to re-read whole structure and figure out where I want it, and I have desire to correct or restructure dozen things I wrote before. The pay-off I get from such system is not great because it's just mirroring the information I already know.

I now use a system that's more like diary. Some notes are relevant for single day, others for a week. Anything older than that, I treat mostly as read-only. I'm ok with repeating myself over and over. It sets the context for thinking and decisions, and allows me to modify and correct assumptions over time. At the moment I use Trilium Notes for this, but still exploring other options. I would love something that includes diagrams and mind maps.

Unexpected benefit is that when I work while distracted and unmotivated, writing down each step and outcome allows me to stay on track and slowly make progress. Context switching becomes easier.
I wouldn't say Affinity Designer is a workaround and it's far more capable and powerful (and less painful to use) than PowerPoint for UI design.

You have only travelled in nice places then.

A standard practice in many many places to take the unfamiliar passenger for a ride, taking the longer route, or going in circles just to run up the meter.

While with gps and smartphones going in circles has come down, taking a different route, or other more subtle meter running happens still.

It can be a lot worse with straight up cheating too. I have seen souped up meters which are not directly connected to odometers etc.

I have also seen places where if you don't know the language and/or localite they will demand more than the meter and create a scene get nearby friends to support them.

The list of tricks go on, ridesharing did away with a lot of that.

Seems like that's how humanity works. Just throw more stuff on the problem and hope it goes away. If some thought is put into it, it might actually work.

Garbage landfill? Cover it with some soil and build buildings on top!

Trash in the oceans? Gather it with (more) automated ships!

Water levels rising? Build dams!

Too much CO2 in the air? Use more energy to get rid of it!

Global temperatures getting too high? Build a solar shade for the whole planet (bonus points if it also generates electricity)!

Actually hoping that last two become a reality soon, because we all need it, and the ideas are actually feasible.
I would add Kind (https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/) as an alternative to Minikube. I use it and I would recommend it for local development.

>Now if the government had ordered this moderation, that's where the idea of rights and first amendment comes into play.

Congress is currently grilling tech CEOs as to why they aren't banning / censoring QAnon and similar information. It seems Congress has moved to attempt to censor free speech by applying pressure on these private platforms to censor free speech.

>That issue about the functioning of democracy is one where Facebook is in the spotlight right now as a hugely powerful platform for misinformation in the run-up to the US election.

>This week the social media giant moved to shut down groups spreading the Qanon conspiracy theory, which promotes the idea that President Trump is leading a battle against satanic child abuse.

>It was the Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee who wanted a really tough approach - a minority report from the Republicans agreed there was a problem, but favoured milder solutions.

Congress is grilling tech companies as to why they aren't censoring speech hard enough and are threatening a "really tough approach" if they don't comply. It seems censoring speech is not only government pressured now, but also bipartisan.

Errol Morris's device for this is named 'Interrotron' so maybe it's a careful-what-you-wish-for situation:

A: No, it was named by my wife, Julia Sheehan. She liked the name because it combined two important concepts — terror and interview.
Thanks :) I don't want to make it seem like I'm after you in particular, it's just that you were the top comment in this thread and it's that time of night when I should logged off and gone to bed is long past, so my patience for this was just a little thinner than it usually is. It's just that enough people have done this that I figured I might as well steal the second-to-top comment spot with this in the hopes that they might see it and not do it anymore.
Wait, how does that work? In California, the effective tax rate for an engineer is going to be in the ballpark of 40–45%. If somebody is making about double then their income after taxes is about the same as your income before taxes. Even with a relatively expensive house (and high property tax), the effective rate is still not going to go far above 50%.

To add to the "etc.", those under the voting age and immigrants.

I believe some religious groups don't vote. Ahh, yes, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_rejection_of_politic... gives examples of people involved in politics but don't vote for religious reasons.

Even if the complaint is specifically directed towards those who can vote, but don't - is Australia, where everyone is required to vote, free of "preachy posts"?

I suspect not.

Note also that what touched the nerve is a posting from someone who hasn't said if he is or is not voting, not that he hasn't voted before nor won't vote again.
Video calls, as currently implemented with available technology and existing software, is clearly not filling the non verbal communication gap.

Instead, it is creating the false expectation that we have a non verbal channel, when we really don't. This disconnect is at the very heart of the article.

Turning off video removes the expectation. In lieu of better, low latency tools, an audio long meeting is likely higher quality, not to mention lower bandwidth requirements and possibly lower latency as well.

Better that video will be virtual avatar based tools, like meeting in a video game.
As someone that bikes with a power meter, looking at my power curve for some rides: I've held 300W avg for 20 minutes, 200W avg for 3 hours and 160W avg for 9 hours. These are from races, a steady state effort could probably be a bit higher.

I think that may be some usable numbers for what an avid amateur cyclist can achieve (ftp ~4Ws/kg). And then one will have to take into account that the body efficiency of cycling is about 25%, so one will have to eat 4x that amount in calories...

Nuclear reactors don't explode. The risk is the chemical rocket exploding and spreading the nuclear fuel. The fuel doesn't get very radioactive until the reactor is started and proper packaging can protect against that.
UBI is not the answer any more than the work houses were in the 1800s.

Universal health care or a socialized medical system might work along with government supported food banks, housing and education as all of these can be deemed human rights to some degree. Personal wealth or income will never be a human right for very long before the state twists it into a privilege or entitlement that can be taken away from those who do not toe the line.

UBI sounds like a good idea until you consider the eventual consequences of such a scheme. I'm not just talking about the lazy people that won't want to work but more the furthering of peoples dependance on the state, and the widening of the class divide for even those that do work hard.

The only system that historically has worked is a cyclical system of accumulation of power and wealth then a revolutionary redistribution of the power and wealth typically occuring in the late stages of a capitalist like society, and the only question is which side of the torches and pitch forks do you want to be on?

Finally I take great offence to the parsitic attitude that any wealth I procure for my heirs is "unearned" and that it should be taxed or taken then divided among a society's people when I am dead.

It is not a racist or classist attitude to believe in working hard and saving to provide for my childrens' and grandchildrens' future. On the other hand, people who breed like rabbits, live above their means, wasting time and money on drugs and alcohol, vacations, fancy cell phones, video games and the like, all the while accumulating bad debt and then eventually becoming wards of the state who whine about how unfair the world is because they didn't prepare for their future or hard times are nothing more than a burden on the people who did work hard, save and prepare.
It does seem a little more complex than just issuing unique IDs. The therapist must be able to tie that ID to the patient. The healthcare provider sending the patient to the therapy provider needs to be able to do the same. How does that happen?
What is or isn't readable can be judged by two qualities. The first one is if it's being familiar to what you're used to and the second one how long it takes to learn if you're not familiar with it.

Now I learned C-like language before I learned Lisp-like languages, so that might be the reason I felt I understood Lisp way faster than I felt I understand C-like languages. There is simply less to learn about the language and more to learn about conventions, while C-like languages always have bunch of extra syntax you have to learn, otherwise the compiler cries.

> Other disadvantages include lack of typing & poor tooling support

Not sure these are inherent to Lisps. There are plenty of typed lisps, and even the ones that don't have types, can have types added to them after the fact, just because they are Lisps.

Regarding tooling, I'd say that the entire C-like ecosystem is far behind any Lisp language regarding tooling. I mainly see people using "println"'s for debugging, and sometimes using a "line debugger", while Lisp developers modify their code at runtime and have a far more advanced debugger, something C-like languages will probably never do as well as Lisp-like languages does it, again because of s-expressions and the code they make you write.
That might be true for games. It's absolutely not true for most system-friendly software.
We heard your complaint but you are being acting entitled now. People are free to register, free to comment, if you don't like it, downvote it. It is the top comment, that means it is being upvoted. get over it.
It's probably way easier to decide on a subject you want to learn more about, and find the most approachable textbook / lecture notes on e.g. StackExchange. It doesn't make sense to choose courses (or even subjects to learn) based on whether video lectures are available.

I don't maintain a collection of these, but I can probably recommend

* Stephen Abbott, Understanding Analysis, for mathematical analysis and a little bit of real analysis

* David Williams, Probability with Martingales, for advanced probability

* Dym and McKean, Fourier Series and Integrals

First rule of macros is: do not write macros. At least in clojure, it's rare that I stumble upon macros in the wild. But when they're needed (someone else wrote about core.async in this thread) they are very useful.

After one year of clojure, it's annoying for me to read classic C-like languages. There's also people who prefer reading code without syntax color, so clearly this is a subjective matter.

I find clojure tooling really good, and it's hard to go back to a non-repl oriented workflow (this is not at all the same as something like python or javascript repl). But this is admittedly a gray area, there's areas where it's immature compared to other languages, and others where it shines because of it's repl-oriented nature.

The lack of typing is certainly a sound argument, although my personal opinion is that for many use cases it isn't required. This is going to be a contentious opinion, I'm sure.

Note that clojure has an advantage on this over other dynamic languages: idiomatic clojure code means that pretty much everything is pure data, in basic structures: maps and vectors. So the functions that you use to operate on your data are always the same. Over time you'll learn them, and they won't change between domains nearly as much as, say, if you were coding in OOP oriented python.
I _don't_ want to work on spreadsheets from my couch. In fact, I don't want to be able to work on spreadsheets on my couch. I want my couch to be a completely spreadsheet-free area!
Sexpr makes expressions easier for computers to parse. That is all there is to it. Other languages focuses more on making code easier for humans to parse. Both are good for different things.
I know i'm rare person (well, my 70+ mother also has this affliction though) for this opinion, but I prefer typing to virtual and real meetings. It is faster/more efficient as I read faster than I listen and type faster than I talk. It is easier (and faster) to later read what was agreed in details (the MoMs always seem to lack details and then later it's a 'i did not say that' mess), it's easy to create docs / emails from the content and if it was technical, nothing is lost and can be copy/pasted to terminals etc. And it's async; the 'think on your feet' can be nice, but I notice not so many people are good at it.

I have ran companies like this for 25+ years, sometimes with people (as co-founders) I have never even spoke to (and never saw); works fine; I don't notice the difference (besides that I find this way of working more efficient).

Not that I know of, but there are lots of third-party HN projects out there.

We've sometimes thought about tracking and showing the edit history of HN comments, but I think this is one place where (let's call it) over-surveillance could lead to more harm than good. Certainly some users abuse editing, but there are also many cases where it's important to let people save face, give them an out, and so on. HN is supposed to be a community and it's important for communities to be forgiving. A certain degree of forgetfulness creates greater ease and freedom. No one wants to be around a superintelligent flaw-pointer-outer. So I think an edit history tracker would have unintended consequences and on balance is probably a bad idea.
