Personal opinions only ...

Scheme and its relatives in the Lisp family is seriously different, genuinely attitude and mind changing, and having it no longer an essential part of the curriculum makes it much, much less likely to be learned or used.

Python is a superb language, but I for one can see the Lisp influence in my programming, and I'm a better programmer for it. I think it's a shame that universities are moving more towards "relevance" and further from "what's actually good for you, and you won't really get a chance to do elsewhere."

And that takes us back to the question of what universities are for, and what the value is they provide. People are saying "Why should I go to university - I can learn this stuff elsewhere!" And for many things that's true. But there are things you simply won't learn elsewhere.

Lisp is one of them. I think losing it is a shame.

Lisp is one of them.

Fortunately this isn't true. I'm living proof. People go to lisp for various reasons when they are ready, you don't need a university for that. In fact, teaching scheme badly to people who are not ready for it is probably a bad idea, and is the prime reason why some people actively avoid lisp later in their career.
All the snobby effete commenters who write off this trend, just wait until enough people are marginalized and they decide to do something about it.

Nice, is it really worth $7 million though?
Are you asking why the article was about Groovy, or "why groovy?" in a broader sense?

On the 'broader sense' angle, Groovy is a good for certain people/teams who are looking to get more out of Java development without giving up too much of what they have invested in. Pretty much all Java code will run in Groovy unchanged, and you can update existing working Java code with some Groovy decorations in the same file without issue. Moving to JRuby or Jython, for example, require you to make larger changes to rethink entire classes in the new syntax.

Admittedly some people consider this a small point, but it's certainly nice for some people to be able to reuse existing Java syntax without needing to learn a lot of new syntax up front - with Groovy you can try out new syntax as you go, but always drop back to raw Java when you want (again, in the same file - you can use existing Java classes in JRuby and Jython IIRC).

That seems to be the biggest flaw for me. There are shops that I go to every week, and I never type them into Google (Maps or otherwise), and I'd certainly never need directions. If I need directions to "B", the only thing it's a good indicator of is that I probably haven't been to "B" from "A" before. Value could only be determined if I went there more than once, but in that case, I wouldn't "tell" a search engine.
For one camera I got:
"fail
The 'NIKON CORPORATION NIKON D200' does not write serial information in the exif. See the supported cameras page for a list of models that do."

For my other camera, a Pentax K20D which is on the supported list I got:

"Problem extracting serial number. If possible, use an original image from the camera that has not been edited in any software."

The only thing I had done was uploaded the image from the camera via iPhoto. But all the EXIF data was in tact, including the Pentax K20D, the serial #, even the lens I used. So I don't think iPhoto stripped any data.

I'm wondering why if Flickr for example can extract all of the EXIF data, even for images not directly from the flash card, why did this happen?

Exactly my point. Among nations with hardly any inequality, America may not compare so great, but it's still a nation with hardly any inequality.

Go to downtown Portland today and you'll find young people from middle class families living on the streets by choice. That's how good our safety net is. You really can't get yourself into the same sort of poverty that you see in most of the world here.

In most places, being poor means you're likely to die of starvation in the near future. In the US (and other countries on that chart), it means you can't afford a new television this year.

So sure, there's always room for improvement. But it's a bit silly to compare the USA to places that actually have a big divide between rich and poor.

This "hacker group" is just a random group of people on the internet. They're not really an organized group. If one person who identifies themselves as part of "anonymous" denies the Sony attacks, that really doesn't mean anything for the rest of the people who identify with the group. Treating them as a real, organized group doesn't really mean much. Hell, back in the (real life, not the internet attacks) protests against Scientology, you could have said I was part of the group. Hell, anyone who ever visited 4chan a few times could almost be considered a member, but really, there is no group, just a bunch of bored people who like to use the title "anonymous" when they do shit online, even if that stuff is a high profile hack.

>Those who agree with the argument have compared the immorality of taking away someone’s money with the immorality of not enabling someone to live a dignified life and concluded that the second violation of rights weighs heavier."

This is the crux of the issue right here.

Another key point is that the usefulness (to the holder) of a given unit of wealth is inversely proportional to how much total wealth they have.

$100 is worth a lot more to someone who has $3 than it is to someone who has $3,000,000. Therefore there is a certain utilitarian argument in favor of putting the wealth where it will have the most benefit. And yes, I know utilitarianism is horribly flawed when you force it to its logical conclusion, that isn't the point here.

Think of it a bit like spreading fertilizer on a field. If you want a good harvest, it doesn't really make any sense to distribute it in any way except according to its need.

As the parent said: this is just one argument. I'm not saying that it is conclusive, nor do I expect you to agree with it.

having it no longer an essential part of the curriculum makes it much, much less likely to be learned or used

I argue that it's likely that Lisps are mostly learned and used regardless of any curriculum. In order to "get" Lisp, you have to be both endlessly curious about computing and in need for something that offers the benefits of a language like Lisp.

You will not "get" Lisp merely by being taught Lisp; you're only likely to be left with the question "Why?" until you actually need something like Lisp and can answer the "Why?" yourself.
Remind HN: Down voting isn't meant to express disagreement.

Every so often I see people on HN use compete as if it were a reliable measurement... In my experience it's not.

Compete shows a few of my websites as declining when they are in fact growing... In one particular case it showed that a website that was tripling in traffic was declining... It's so unprecise that I often wonder if it's not just a random number generator weighted by pageranks and mentions in google trend powering compete, it seems it'd give about the same results...

Clusto is a cluster management tool
My uni did the usual Java bullcrap (with a lot of assembly, a little C++, Haskell, Prolog and matlab thrown in), but since I've played with Scheme, a little Common Lisp and a lot of Clojure and they have an enormous influence on how I program and think about programming in any language. So, regardless of what language(s) they teach you in uni, I think it is worthwhile picking up a Lisp-based language along the way (in your own time, if needed). The SICP book is also an excellent read, IMHO, and an excellent investment.

I think its worthwhile learning any language that is in a significantly different paradigm to what you already know, so I wouldn't stop at Lisp.
Might not be a causality relationship though.
iTunes U is essentially just a directory service for the convenience of iTunes users.

If the content is free, there's no reason why they shouldn't make it available through alternate links/feeds. You could try complaining to the person in charge. :-)

But within the EU they aren't "states" they are "countries". It would be just as logical to take the Americas together and see how inequality looks when you're spanning from the top end of USA to the bottom end of Columbia.
That pretty much went out the window quite a while ago, I'd estimate that nearly all down votes on HN are used for that purpose. It's just more visible when on a political topic than a tech topic.
Once again, there is no specific group called Anonymous. The name says it all. Anonymous is anyone who wants to say they are Anonymous. There is never a 'combined effort of the entire group' because that would mean the whole planet was in on it, and if there's life elsewhere, them too!

If someone that was in on it says 'Anonymous did this', then they did. Period. Nobody can contradict them. The best anyone can say is 'I was not involved.' They can never speak for the rest of the group.

http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/01/31/the-haves-and-t... This chart puts inequality in some perspective for me...

The poorest Americans are still in the 68th percentile for world-wide inequality.

I suspect that if you charted European countries on this map, the line would start higher and end lower than the US, hence their lower Gini.

Is that obfuscated? Or just poorly written? There's a difference. 'Obfuscated' means it was intentionally unreadable.

I don't think they are obfuscating their code. I think they are writing code that looks good to them at the time. They think it's beautiful for some reason, and leave it that way.

Ideally, beautiful code should be readable by others, of course. Especially in Open Source. But some people don't think like that.

@joehewitt, open source? And where can we expect to start contributing to the tool-chain?
Stricly speaking that is true - but there is free movement within the EU - someone from one EU member state can live and work in any other member state (with some temporary restrictions for states that have just joined) - so they aren't like other countries. Also member states have already given up a lot of their sovereignty to the EU.

We are continually told that the US is a terribly unequal society - I'm just curious how things would work out if you took something like the EU (higher GDP, much higher population) and compared it to the US.

Note that I am a European, I'm generally pro-EU but I think Europeans generally unfairly criticize the US in this area when we actually live in an increasingly shared society that clearly has its own issues with inequality.

Bigger potatoes: output sanitization?

Eg only whitespace is trimmed from cookies, then in webserver.Outgoing.cc:

Socket << "\r\nSet-Cookie: " << Current->Key << "=" << Current->Value;

Lacewing splits input lines on "\r\n" but browsers often happily accept "\n" as a line delimiter (see 19.3 of RFC 2616 for Postel-esque tolerance discussion). So the client can send a request header like:

Cookie: foo=bar\n<naughty stuff>\r\n

to manipulate the server response, cf "response splitting attack".

This is not discussed in the 37 pages(!) of the new cookie RFC 6265 :-/

When talking about this kind of inequality we usually mean financial inequality.

Given a society where everyone at least has the possibility to have a home, have food, and live a decent life (i.e. not do 16 hours of work per day or be applied a different legislation for different people), I don't care how inequal we are or how many hundred or thousand times more an executive makes than the employee with the lowest salary.

"Fixing" a society by making it more "equal", mainly to shrink the income distribution, doesn't magically help the poormost. Any "fixes" to the wealth distribution are likely to sift down only to the nearest classes in the continuum: the acquisition of any wealth extracted from rich would be a task easiest for upper middle class.

Humans are likely to always form into a number of "lower" and "upper" groups: if we can't do it with money, we do it by some intangible property such as ancestry or nobility. Compared to those, I much prefer money.

Conversely, a person doesn't need much: we only need to guarantee some minimal standard of living, should a citizen wish to receive it, and we can afford that if we wanted. There's no reason to try and take on the impossible task of "fixing" inequality: unless we gave an equal salary to everyone we would still have some people who form the poormost group.

The only thing that does matter is how well the poormost are doing. We can fix that if we want. Compared to them everyone else is doing just fine, equality or inequality, more Porsches or less Porsches.

First, I believe this reveals the complexity of the parser, which implies a complex syntax, which implies a complex user interface as felt by end users.

That's the case to some extent, but the opposite is also the case to some extent. Some of the difficulty of parsing is because "ease of human use" has been a much higher priority than "ease of parsing" when discussing syntax, which leads to some constructs that aren't easy to parse with typical CFG-type parsing approaches. It's also designed to be very lenient to ordering and common errors, much like a modern non-strict HTML parser, which makes hand-writing the syntax more friendly and forgiving, but with a tradeoff that the parser has to be more complex, because it doesn't have the luxury of just returning a parse error.
