What are you going to be reading alongside it?

Common Lisp goes well with Peter Norvig's Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence: case studies in Common Lisp. And Norvig's book is a good way to learn what makes Common Lisp a big deal from an engineering perspective while still being entirely accessible to a below average programmer with some experience (at least that's my experience).

Racket goes well with the many Racket tutorials online and Felleisen's How to Design Programs. HtDP is a good beginner resource for software engineering and the many online Racket tutorials are suitable for many other levels of experience.

Racket will work with Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs with a bit of configuration. But MIT Scheme is simpler to use with SICP right out of the box.

There are reasons Clojure is popular and I think it's a great language, but learning Clojure is more about learning Clojure than about learning what people usually mean by "Lisp."

Emacs Lisp (elisp) is great if what you are going to be reading is it's documentation and it maps up reasonably well with a lot of Common Lisp. It's a very good language that becomes a great language if you like Lisp and EMACS because it hooks into "Emacs as an operating system" natively. It's a practical approximation of the mythical LispMachines at your finger tips.

That analogy doesn't really apply. The plumbers service and the data hostings service differ in several important ways.

The plumber is a services for hire offering. Prezi is a data storage offering.

The plumber story involves work that has not yet occured and then is subsequently canceled. Prezi involves ongoing services that are being canceled.

I don't think the plumber analogy comes even close to a good example here.

> It's not fear mongering to look at the facts of history and see that propaganda is a primary way that violence scales.

Propaganda is a primary way that human action and organization, whether violent or not, for good or ill, scales.
I'm not sure how they're screwing you over. You are not allowed to have free, private content. If you stop paying, you need to decide whether to delete or make public stuff.

Friendliest way to do this would be to keep content for a month after cancelling, but only let -you- see it if you renew or decide to make it public.
Don't think prism and FT are analogous. Fourier transform is a symmetric operation between dual expressions of the same thing - frequency form and amplitude form.
That's a simplistic view. That might be true in dynamic urban environments where people compete for intangible resources and success is predicated upon individual merit. That's not so much the case when people fight over collective ownership of land, waterways or mines.

The earth isn't just a bigger New York.
Sorry, but if the "new media renaissance" is SpongeBob singing WAP, count me out. I don't think it's exciting, I think it's lame.

But you're right, there's always money to be made in making the Internet an even dumber place than it is already. Have fun!

Picnic | Senior Mobile Engineer [iOS / Android / React Native] | London, UK | ONSITE or REMOTE | Full time or contract

Picnic is group chat built for close friends. (https://picnic.chat)

When it comes to our most precious relationships, we believe that today's messaging apps are doing the bare minimum to bring us closer together. That's why we're building a 10X more rewarding group chat experience.

We are a small team based out of London (UK) on a mission to make the world better friends. On the back of a successful beta launch of our flagship app, we just this month closed a £2m Seed round from some of the world's top VCs (not yet publicly announced). Our founding team includes engineers from Google, Monzo and Skyscanner while our advisory board includes the originator of Dunbar's number, Snapchat's 1st Engineer, Bumble's Chief Brand Officer and many more.

We've been using React Native from day one, and while it has gotten us very far very quickly, we're starting to hit some of the roadblocks that should be familiar to anyone who has worked with React Native. We're now looking to hire someone who has a deep understanding of the underlying platforms (iOS and Android), to help us implement native components where performance and user experience matter most.

If this sounds like your kind of thing, read more about who we are, what we're doing & how you might fit in here: https://www.notion.so/teampicnic/Senior-Mobile-Engineer-iOS-...
Perhaps this is the right model for a particular scenario with which you’re familiar, but it doesn’t match my scenario and is kind of patronizing.

Also, developers should absolutely worry about which TLS algorithms are accepted.
Nice progress, but it notes that `systemd` doesn't work, which means all the things that depend on `systemd` won't work either.
Back in the day that was called payola. The producers who can afford a reduced rate (reduced from the already miniscule payments producers get) can get inserted into the rotation more often.
So what you're hearing as a user isn't what's more popular, or chosen for some kind of artistic value; you're hearing what producers have paid for.
I’ve seen and have been forced to participate in infantile team-building exercises and “company culture” indoctrination. They often seem rooted in feel-good New Age beliefs, conducted by people who have found a niche making adults pretend to be children.

I’m not sure it’s a gender thing, but it wouldn’t surprise me to find women in tech subjected to this kind of thing even more than men.

Tech workplaces in general often seen juvenile and infantilized to be, but I’m an old man.
About this Company:
At CrossnoKaye, we are revolutionizing how heavy industrial facilities operate; dropping energy consumption, increasing throughput, and cutting emissions in the world's most resource consuming sector.

We are doing this by building the first operating system (OS) for heavy industrial facilities. This allows modern complex algorithms to easily interface and control these massive infrastructures from the cloud. We also developed the first applications which run on this OS. These applications use physics-based machine learning to control industrial refrigeration sites across the country, transforming them into electrical grid assets which can trade and respond to electrical grid signals in real-time. We turn dumb facilities into smart ones.

It’s our goal as a company to not only deploy the first industrial facilities operating system, but also make a measurable impact on climate change.

About this Role:
We are looking for our first DevOps Engineer (remote) who will be responsible for the infrastructure running our highly available (HA) safety-critical control platform. You will collaborate with research physicists and technology personnel across all aspects of our software development lifecycle playing a critical role in infrastructure spanning CI/CD, BI, and IOT being used in manufacturing systems worldwide.

Responsibilities
Manage AWS, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Postgres and other infrastructure components, including IIOT (Industrial Internet of Things) devices
Build a “self-service” Infrastructure-as-Code platform that developers can build on to deliver our software.
Ensure the infrastructure is monitored (both infrastructure and application monitoring) and assist with infrastructure needs for application monitoring.
Work with test team on CI/CD infrastructure, Science team on ETL infrastructure
Responsible for wearing many different hats covering a vast swath of infrastructure (operation, provisioning, compute, observability, automation, SRE, and data)

Qualifications
Several years of production AWS or GCP experience (including cloud optimization)
Deep knowledge of Kubernetes architecture
Experience with Infrastructure as Code in CI/CD pipelines
Experience with many different infrastructure open source projects
Must be proficient in several programming languages, including some scripting languages and some compiled languages
Experience in high-velocity (multiple deploys a day) team-based development
Team player

If interested, please email Katie Castillo at katie@crossnokaye.com.

To be honest: Ninja Cookie is really young and this is the first time I try to post on hackernews and I didn't plan to get all those comments. Because Ninja Cookie is really young, we are still thinking on our business model. We would like to open our sources so that you will be confident but we need first to find the right business model. No business model = no futur. And we want a futur for our Ninja Cookie. :)
Meanwhile, you need to trust us :/
While infrastructure astronauts are typically money wasters and padding their resumes, I don't think SO is the best counter example.

SO's read to write ratio is enormous. While they talk about a handful of different bare metal servers a vast majority of their hits are handled by their caching layer which is not one of their bare metal machines.

Their write loads are not explicitly time sensitive either, if there's a delay between a successful post and cache invalidation it's not a big deal for a majority of their traffic.

Not every model is quite so forgiving. But even then there's a lot of stupid wasteful "infrastructure" made by people who think they're going to be Google, or at least tell their investors they'll be Google.
The hyphen did not move, it is actually a different one. Zero-knowledge loses its hyphen when the phrase is compressed into an acronym, and a hyphen is added as a separator.

As usual on these lists, no alternatives to Music, and no alternatives to Voice.

Voice is the big one for anyone who's still on it I think.
It's kind of funny that the least fleshed out section (ads) is where they absolutely can not afford to lose users.

Yup, this is me. There is no alternative to Google Voice, which is sad... it's such a neat service.

We know that intact ecosystem spreads out from the edges. They did studies in South America decades ago comparing recovery rates in rectangular versus square clearings, and the rectangular ones always won.

So if we're talking about clearcutting, we ideally want to back up a step and make rules about the topology of a clearcut (not just shape, but holes as well).

If it's a forest fire, we may want to know how far natural reforestation can be 'stretched', and replant areas that are outside of that range, accounting for how fast the artificial forest will spread.

This is a strange assertion when the implication is that Linux is somehow not "glued together" despite requiring distributions to literally glue the pieces together.
That's really interesting. I never used OVH, you could probably tell!

It should encourage the employer to avoid overtime, but at that rate I would guess it also encourages the employees to do overtime.

> What's your basis for concluding that the visual arts component provided the benefit, rather than the focus groups and direct discussion?

These conclusions were based on semantic analysis of required feedback forms from program participants. Those with higher performance on program metrics tended to speak higher of these sessions and their importance to them. Otherwise there was nothing to determine causality. But it was sufficient for leadership to say that they were helpful.

> I also think you're missing the whole point: your activities were for children, and for people who work with children. Why are we treating women like children?

The tens of thousands of educators we put through our programs were primarily women ages 30 - 55. But as I said, we also ran workshops for male-dominated teams in tech in Delhi and Bangalore (educational software), which was the basis for my representational comment, but that didn't amount to more than 100 people. That's the basis for comparison, not directly with children. Their line of work or location could certainly be complicating factors in extrapolating conclusions. Simply providing some interesting research to consider. Not treating women like children here.

I personally find more intimate groups to be much more conducive to actionable discussion. In that way I totally feel where you're coming from. I'm glad you found that satisfaction eventually. I can't empathize with your experience with these specific groups unfortunately since I haven't taken part and am also very new to the field, but it's saddening to hear that colleagues would take you less seriously for looking for support :'(
Replicache Beta for the Web
Did any credible source predict a mini ice age? From what I remember it was a few small studies that the media then whipped up into a bit of a frenzy.
Honestly if you have a predictive data set, most likely it is more profitable to use it to invest yourself than it is to sell it. Its like a successful startup raising VC funding, the good ones dont need the investors, the bad ones do.

Source is I used to work in this space. Clearly there are operational difficulties to investing and serious domain knowledge but if you have data with alpha, its worth insane amounts of money (seven figures a month).

At one end, who but a competitor will be in a better position to explain why their competition sucks.

At the other end, who but a competitor will be in a more biased position to explain why their competition sucks.

Most of these company blogs feel like guerilla marketing, and even when I agree with them, they leave an odd taste in the mouth.
They won't say it in a way that makes sense because then users will a) go do just what was suggested and then cancel, or b) do a) and also complain that there isn't a way to easily do that.
In this case it seems someone could have asked the referee to wear a hat for the reminder of the game, but no one did.

This isn't just a "bad AI" problem, it's failure to plan for a "Plan B" in case automated ball tracking fails for any reason.
Brave recently became my default browser, but I personally don't care for the crypto stuff.

The current iOS beta allows users to sync their bookmarks with Windows and iOS privately, and it's what convinced me to switch. I didn't need to create an account with my email address, or install iCloud...just scan a QR code.

I wish they'd fix the captcha problem though, a lot of sites that use ReCaptcha think Brave browser users are bots (due to the security).

Yes, we're doing all obvious advertising channels, and have some cash to put behind it. Dominating SERPS with very little effort since we're doing long tail. Our particular long tail means people are searching for very particular terms and buying the single item they are looking for, with this behaviour the business seems very viable(and exciting) by the growth google shopping gives. All other channels combined are very slow in comparison. We're continuing trying to optimise those in the meantime. But we've learnt the newish(around here, at least) advantage Google shopping (and amazon search, probably) gives in insane compared to the typical alternatives.
At least with a monorepo you only have to worry about deploy ordering. With a multirepo you have to worry about code review and merge order before you get to worry about the deploy order. I would like to be able to review the library API change together with the changes in the app that need the new API. At my work we either review library changes in isolation, or we skip the review on library changes (if the author deems them trivial) and only do review on the main app changes, but that means we often miss opportunities for making the library API fit the use-cases as well as they could.
One thing I've always wondered about was SFMTA's giant underground stations that could fit six actual Muni trains on the platforms, or the giant Caltrain+BART station at Milbrae that could fit about 2.5 times as many trains as it actually ever does.
One is three and these three are one. I am getting religious vibes from this.
I think issue is desertification, and spikes in temperatures causing plants to get into state of shock. Some tree species are very susceptible to temperature change, so they can suddenly die.
Also, trees except being CO2 deposits are huge deposits of water, so tree evaporation draws more rain, and there is entire feedback cycle of water, so it is not simple as "more heat more rain as 2/3 of planet is water", as by same logic in deserts would be rain all the time.
It is interesting how clouds form as well, as they need small particles, basically seeds to form...
Good grief.

Parts of Eastern Europe have had an industrial base since the 1800s. Indeed, the Czechs have been making cars since 1905. Of course Eastern Europe trains qualified construction workers.
This is my experience too. Traditional ci hygiene requires that the build runs clean on the developer machine before publishing a change. But once the build time crosses 10 minutes, people resent waiting and start to run test subsets, and count on the ci server to catch breakage. Once that becomes normal, breakage is inevitable. And if commit tempo is higher than a developer can finish a test-run, then it is impossible. Solutions include patch queues, pr builds, etc. but those are all more complicated than a single stream on head.
