On Lisp by Paul Graham is a good start: http://www.paulgraham.com/onlisp.html

Edit: I meant ANSI Common Lisp. Thanks everyone!

(I wouldn't even recommend On Lisp as a second text, too much macrology).
From a libertarian, individualistic perspective, there is much in what you say. But telling people off for being easily persuadable isn't a viable solution. You have to deal with people as they really are, not as you wish them to be.

From a utilitarian perspective, fake news and persuasive technologies do real harm, and not just to the people who are persuaded. Unless something is done at the group level (i.e. by the state) the harm will continue. You might consider that an appropriate trade-off for liberty, but others can reasonably disagree without being weak.
They can get much, much worse. Unimaginably worse. There's no comparison between Venezuela and Brazil, for example. But even between Bolivia and Brazil or Peru and Brazil there's a steep difference in development and living standards. Foreign intervention would destabilize the country and potentially lead to war, human suffering, and devastation.

> entire countries are effectively run by drug empires

This is not true.

> Bolsonaro is selling out the future of humanity

I'm not even sure what you mean here, but it sounds inaccurate and an exaggeration at the very least.

Brazil is going through a bad patch, for sure. But it's still the biggest, most dynamic economy in South America, a stable democracy with relatively high HDI, and a nation of proud people with vibrant history and culture. The idea of foreign intervention sends shivers down my spine - it would absolutely, with 100% certainty make things worse, and would be potentially catastrophic for the country. I find it really amazing that someone can casually suggest this. Hasn't South America suffered enough?
More photos, fewer words and videos, please. (Former more important than latter)
Fascinating! Do we know whether snowflakes from the same storm will be shaped very similarly? Or is there disparity within it, too?
Nice story thanks for sharing!

Is it easy to reconfigure keyboard shortcuts like cmd+C for Mac but ctrl+C on Linux? I have spent way too much time trying to do it on Ubuntu and it has made it hard for me to make the switch.
Mobile game with ReasonML/ReScript and React: my experience
That GSM one is.... exactly the same as this attack.

Literally.

DDR3-1600 RAM, 800MHz I/O bus, 800MHz GSM frequencies. Pump out data encoded in bursts of noise by exercising RAM. Receive it with a hacked phone. They built on all the work of OsmocomBB (which already is a completely open source GSM stack on a commercial phone baseband). Even building on such a powerful and well-documented platform, they only got a, quite honestly, pathetic ~1.5 bit/second speed out of it, making excuses about "inadequate access to the DSP's full capabilities" and it being an old phone (which is nonsense, the entire point is that it's an open stack, thus much easier to build powerful software on even with hardware limitations, they just weren't capable).

Then they gave up on OsmocomBB and just used an SDR as a receiver to get 1kbps.

Sorry, this is just sad. Anyone actually experienced in these fields would be able to do orders of magnitude better, guaranteed, with that kind of hardware.

Oh yeah, there's an appendix to the paper where they got it to work with an unmodified Android phone... by putting it 10cm from the motherboard, so the emission jams the cell signal, and you see the bars drop. No actual bitrate attempted, but it looks like you wouldn't get more than 0.5bps out of that from their graph.

And now 5 years later he's rehashing the same exact technique, on a different frequency. Sigh.
Can you explain what costs the “parasites” add to the system?
I wonder what the amount of money made by HFT taking advantage of "natural arbitrage opportunities" is, and how it compares to HFT as pure front running of known orders? My guess is ~0 vs ~lots.

I think this was the wrong way to approach building a libertarian utopia.

Trying to go all out libertarian within a society that is not, is similar to how certain cities try to go all out on ending homelessness, only to result in more homelessness. (When other cities don’t provide the same resources, homeless people migrate to the cities that do)

Libertarian ideas need to be experimented one segment at a time, kind of like a MVP. Healthcare seems like a low hanging fruit for example.
that does not support casting as far as I have tried unfortunately.

I love i3 and I have used it every day for years. Having just gotten a Mac though I have to say I miss the animations specially when changing workspaces. It's easy to get lost in i3 without them.
Racket is explicitly designed as a teaching language and I would highly recommend Beautiful Racket as a starting point.
Beautiful timing - I was just reading Land of Lisp for fun, and I use emacs! Questions: Why do you need SLIME instead of just writing into a buffer and evaluating it? Is SLIME just for REPL-ing? How do you organize a "bigger" project?

Patreon seems to be the best bang for the buck, because there you have the most control about what you fund.

I know the usual rational about users blaming Firefox and yadda yadda but I am rather not convinced this is how things should work in the open desktops. If there are clear bugs in other environments, file them and break them if necessary. The only potential exception I can see is when it's not clear if it's a bug or not..

That could be because Mandarin grammar is actually relatively simple, the difficulty is in “naturally” expanding your vocabulary (since characters take an order of magnitude longer to learn).

It wouldn’t surprise me if a lot of it feels like brute forcing syntax and keywords - there’s no way of reasoning through it, you just have to knuckle down and learn it.

It’s also part of the driving force behind my app (link in bio) - it can take a long time (i.e. years) to get comfortable carrying on a conversation, so I want to help people practise in a less intimidating environment.
Racket Scheme & SICP is a fun way to start playing, especially if you are into theoretical concepts of CS and programming, like higher order programming and abstraction.

The documentation for Racket is excellent, see e.g.

https://docs.racket-lang.org/quick/index.html

... and many people have created online resources to adapt SICP to Racket, as well as other learning texts. I like Beautiful Racket, e.g.

https://beautifulracket.com/explainer/lists.html

You can use #lang sicp and start playing around with the free online reformatted SICP text here:

http://sarabander.github.io/sicp/

I recommend getting a print copy of SICP, though, and working through the examples in a real DrRacket environment on your computer.

IMO, if you end up going deep in the "lispy" direction after playing with Racket, you'll probably be drawn to Clojure as it is the Lisp with the biggest "production use" community at the moment. So long as you can put up with some JVM warts, it, too, will be a good experience.
Why not go through some of the classic lisp programming books like sicp[1] or htdp[2], since both are freely available?

I meant it as the EU has imposed regulations on big co and it hasn’t immediately ruined the EU. In the US we have this notion that if we impose even a tiny bit of common sense regulation that it will instantly ruin the economy and the country will fall apart as a result. Take minimum wage for example. Loads of economic research shows that federally mandated minimum of $15/hour would be good for the economy. Yet fully half the voters will scream bloody burger at that idea labeling it as radical. They would rather continue the government supplement the incomes of Walmart workers than having Walmart pay a fair wage because what if this hurts Walmart too much?

How is it that you think Clojure has trouble doing things in a non-functional way? I'm just curious, as I work in Clojure primarily and may have a huge blind spot I'd love to clear out!
What Is IDaaS and Why Use One?
Probably no real fix for that. In algorithms if you only taught the best algo for a particular problem, you'd lose everyone on the first day, and miss out on a lot of analysis/teaching opportunities. Remember that algorithms study isn't just about speed, it's actually about _correctness_ first.

Besides, it's pretty rare for someone to need to write their own sorting algorithm anyway, in production. And if they do but they're so addled they do it from memory and randomly pick bubblesort, hey at least it's fairly easy to be correct.

Direct donations? Even if they are more hassle than paying ~1-5 USD/mo on Patreon, it likely has a much greater impact on the creator.
The interesting part is competitors can co-exist as long as the user see them as worth the monthly fee. For instance a user can have Amazon Prime and Nintendo Online, with Spotify, and be happy with the mix. It's not completely zero-sum, even if your attention is finite.

There might be frictions on adding Netflix to this, but Netflix can still be added in with incredibly great content that a user would be willing to pay monthly to keep seeing it (the same way Nintendo Online doesn't need all your attention if you're happy to keep it just for Animal Crossing, for instance)

If find it globally healthier than the alternative advertisement based services, which look to be more cut-throat places.
OTOH, that code looks as if it'll find the vast majority of the problems more careful analysis could find, both simply and without bad consequences.

All that happens if that naïve code fails is that it does an MX lookup that's bound to fail, and then the code returns a bad error message ("couldn't find MX" instead of more properly "syntax error in domain part").

Interesting. This just gave me a possibly incredible idea.
I really enjoyed reading 'The Little Schemer' book. It teaches the Scheme language, which is a Lisp-1. It was entertaining due to the novelty of its format.
Very annoying, but if you want to play the game you can use the app on your phone to sign up and give completely false details (name, address etc). Nothing is posted to you so the false address isn't an issue. And you have the satisfaction of polluting their database with garbage.

Or you could just shop somewhere else, but that is a worse option in my case.
Do you have a source for that? It’s something I’ve always believed, but have never seen actually rigorously researched. I’ve long suspected the “adult language learning difficulty” is simply due to having less time as you get older (not to mention an often ossified/obstinate attitude towards learning something new from scratch and feeling clueless).
I only really live around a Tesco & Sainsbury's, so I was under the impression that generally the 'non-clubcard' prices were more or less in-line with competing supermarkets for most items? Is this wrong? My only other frame of reference really is Sainsbury's which I've known to overprice things anyway.

There is typically some out of pocket component to prevent moral hazard. A good plan will still be covering something like 90% of your costs until you hit the max out of pocket, then it becomes 100%. It’s so you are at least a little conscientious in choosing doctors and pharmacies and such.
I wonder how many people actually write a sort algorithm in production code anymore. I haven't personally seen this, but I guess that doesn't really mean it doesn't exist.

What I have seen is pretty horrific abuse of Linq (i.e. repeated lookup of `things.Where(t => t.Id == query.Id).First()` as if it was a dictionary) which might stem from the same root cause - not thinking about what your code is actually doing and why it might be inefficient. It doesn't help that there's that there's those oft-quoted Bentley's Rules of Optimization which gives people an excuse to not care :-/
How is the VSCode support? I've only used IntelliJ + Cursive for Clojure and am quite spoiled. That's the only reason I might not recommend Clojure for a VSCode user. Now, if said user is interested in switching to Emacs or IntelliJ, I'd think it would be a perfect fit.
IMHO On Lisp is the best as a 2nd (or 3rd) book, but not the 1st. It really explains why Lisp once you understand the basics.
Once, many years ago, I took a turn a little too fast, and a heavily loaded pallet with no bottom deck boards failed--the two stringers just folded. When I got to the plant, my boss said "Way to go, Stirling Moss."

In my defense, you probably shouldn't put a big stack of boxes full of paper on a pallet with two stringers and no bottom deck boards.
That's the impression they want to give you. The non-clubcard prices are significantly higher than Waitrose, Asda and Sainsburys.
It’s so opaque though. Most of the time I have no idea what I’m really consenting to. Every website has a different way of asking, a different way of describing what it’s asking consent for. It often feels like the list of permissions being asked for is way more than what is necessary.

Compare that to reading a magazine:

- Step 1 - open

- Step 2 - read

It’s night and day.
Eventually it will be too difficult to use the web. I’m think people who make a living from building for the web have not grasped the severity of the problem.

If you worked in the movie business and someone said that eventually it would be too difficult to watch a movie, because you would have to give permission left right and centre, you would be worried because that’s bad for business. Your viewers will eventuakly go do something else.

Well that’s what’s happening on the web.

Chloe-Madison Torres-Frank "Immune System" Homework The Thymus At this very moment, an army is attacking you. You are fighting this war without lifting a finger. You are asleep. Eating. Talking.

Or maybe, gastroenteritis is putting all of its power together and planning a sneak attack. But don't worry. You have an army, too. It's called your Immune System.

Although the thymus is not always well known, it is a powerful part of our body that is quite detailed. With two lobes each surrounded by fibrous capsule, the thymus holds new T cells from the red blood cells in the thymus's cortex. Only some are selected to go to the medulla, and will soon be released into your bloodstream so they may patrol your body and look for foreign cells to attack so you can stay healthy. Due to its assissting role in the endocrine system, the thymus enlarges in size during childhood. It eventually begins to shrink during puberty and adulthood, and is replaced by adipose tissue, loose connective tissue made mostly of apidocytes, or fat cells. It doesn't impact the immune system though,
Since you're a Vim user like me: I've found Emacs Lisp a good way to accidentally learn Lisp!

Like there are many Lisps, there are many Vims. Spacemacs is a Vim for Emacs or inside Emacs: https://www.spacemacs.org/

It's quite powerful. And it can be argued that Emacs is highly extensible - because it's written in a Lisp. Looking under the hood and hacking on the editor is a lot of fun and very informative. And also horrible and bad. But in a good way!

And almost completely unrelated: I very much enjoy the Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs book and online lectures: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-compu...

The video lectures were recorded in 1986!: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-compu...

And they're still amazing.

(But people all think very differently and what works for me may not be your cup of tea!)

I've used i3 for years. It's an absolute love affair.

I used Xmonad and awesomewm before. I don't understand enough Haskell to configure Xmonad and awesomewm is a giant dependency mess (the irony being that it's a fork of dwm , the minimalist suckless wm)

Anyways: i3 has struck the perfect balance for me. Written in C, easy to modify, configuration is intuitive and obvious (I have no interest in spending weeks learning how to configure it), and best of all super stable and bug free.

Highly recommended!

I started using WSL2 on my windows machines just to run i3 on windows. That works too! (Basically you vnc to WSL to get i3)
My home washing machine is far from 1g. It’s something like 100g or more based on how fast the thing spins.

First you have to choose your flavor. If you want to use JVM, probably clojure. Otherwise Scheme, Common Lisp and Racket. Scheme is rather minimalistic, Common Lisp is very functional and Racket is the most modern one I guess. I ended up with Common Lisp and I rather don't look for change. SBCL is implementation I use and like it. Probably the best one and quite portable.

Emacs seems the best choice for Lisp, since it is scripted in Lisp and it's best adapted to it probably. However when I started, I was already so used to vim that I kept going with it. Maybe not the best option, but it's ok, maybe just a little bit more effort to automatize some stuff.

If you choose Common Lisp, this is probably the best book for start: http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/ . Anyway be prepared, Lisp is not easy to grasp at first, but as soon you do, you will probably love it and appreciate way it is. :)
