I'm pretty excited by Clojure so thinking of delving more into that, and then hoping it maps back onto Elisp, despite it lacking stuff like tail recursion. Would that make sense, or should I stick closer to the tree?

Maybe CL is the best route to Elisp... If so, any recommendations on how one might learn CL in 2021?
I don't think you know that criminalization isn't working. You need to compare to what would happen if it were legal. Just because the number of users is > 0 does not mean criminalization doesnt work.

Certainly the biggest issue is that heroin costs money, and addicts will do anything for their dose. Making it legal--but not free--doesn't stop this. But there are other issues too (child neglect, homelessness, accosting people on the street) that even providing free drugs doesn't eliminate.

Alcohol prohibition might not have been worth it (in the sense that the curbs on freedom were too expensive) but it definitely worked in the sense of dramatically reducing alcohol deaths, diseases, and domestic disputes.

We should certainly consider making it legal--but not because zero heroin users was the goal.
Back in Maxwells time the idea of a machine that could make "intelligent" decisions was not very developed and neither was the miniaturisation of technology that we know today. So to not let his thought experiment get sidetracked by questions of "how would you actually build such a machine" he just called it a demon and could then focus on the thermodynamic properties of the system.

These days we would probably call it a quantum device or something.

If reviews can be done by psychometricians, why test building cannot ?

There are many many qualified professionals affiliated with major universities- several of them owned by the state. Is it difficult to imagine them developing the tests?

Many of these same professionals consult with testing companies for building the tests, so it is not like these companies have some magic expertise no one else has.

Using an vendor test gives that companies allied products basically an Monopoly for that test/skill.

This is a fact of this industry, and testing companies will use it to their advantage because that's their business. It is in public interest not to privatize the test itself, so there is competition amongst providers of allied products and free market can prevail.

If you can demonstrate that happens, to the exclusion of other reasons, publish it. I haven't seen that effect or known anyone to see that effect during such a transition. What I have seen is a lot of bosses cutting wages and blaming everyone but themselves for turnover, and a lot of business owners with an ideological agenda making bad-faith arguments.

The money is already there, and the current situation is that customers are literally giving most of it without obligation. It makes sense to formalize the relationship, and properly allocate responsibilities to the business owner.

The entire debate is a deflection of responsibility for employee compensation.

I may not have been clear. You can merge a single commit to master (as a fast forward rebase) regardless of how many modules it touches. But you can't do it with more than one commit. It will refuse this because we don't want non squashed stuff on master and it was an easy enough hack to prevent that. Yes it's not fool proof but works well enough so far. It discourages feature branches too which we also want. All these scripts are part of the monorepo and if I need a feature branch for something I can easily exclude that branch in these checks. I've only done that once in the last few years.

This stuff is also very fluid and changed and improved as we go. If the easy solution turns out to not work well enough for enough common cases _then_ we spend more time making it better. Otherwise 'good enough' does the trick for us. YMMV depending on your company size and developer culture. E.g. you might have too many cowboys that just add exceptions all the time or remove the checks entirely. Nobody can help you there. Fire then or flee ;)

Of course, the scammers running this are absolutely getting value out of it.
I think they're arguing the distinction between "I'm not allowed to live in the u.s. so I have to live somewhere else" and "I'm not allowed to live because I shot in front of a firing squad".

> under the faulty assumption that they're too big for users and consumers to live without them

It is, unfortunately, not a faulty assumption. I'm a piano teacher on YouTube, and I'm able to make money there. My entire audience was developed through the platform. I put videos on platforms like Vimeo or even Peertube, and I've had more views in one day on YouTube than their entire lifetime on those other platforms combined.

One thing we found really helpful for optimizing our images was building our own internal image CDN service.

Our image URLs look like this: imgsvc.example.com/url/size(64),fit(cover)/{url}/image.png where url is the source image. This ends up being the image src URL used in production. We have a domain whitelist so it can’t be too badly abused. We can change any number of parameters. You can see here I’m setting the fit and size and image format (.png). There’s even an option to fit the image to a bytes budget. It’s invaluable not having to think about source image sizes, we just drop whatever image we have into an Azure bucket and drop the URL into that service.

I feel like this is commonly believed by people with neither money nor startup experience. Sometimes it's even believed by people with money, who feel it absolves them of the need to have startup experience, and then their startup fails. Hell, could swear I've worked for a couple of these guys.

Money - lots of money, $1M basically just gives you the freedom to tinker on your own time - basically gives you the ability to hire other people to do the actual work of serving customers. If you want a successful startup, you need to know which customers, what work, and how it should be done, in a way that nobody else has figured out yet. An employee is not going to figure it out for you; if they could do that, they'd be off starting their own business. If your competitive advantage is that you have more money than everyone else, you will still fail; people who lack money are unaware of just how much money is floating around in capital markets and how little that differentiates you. Conversely, if you do have a unique insight into an untapped market that's more profitable than any existing way of doing things, financiers will be falling over each other to give you money and take a slice of those profits.

In my experience, the key reagents to a successful startup are information, insight, timing, luck, connections, and technical skills, in that order. This is largely reiterating the thesis of the article - "market matters most" - but in terms where it's the entrepreneur's job to find an untapped market, at precisely the moment in time when it's ready to be tapped.
This article is a bit of a non sequitur. I generally agree with the points raised but the real problem is whether documentation is given enough time within the development cycle. In my experience it isn’t.

The point of documentation is to communicate to others how to keep developing a code base - what is does, how it does it etc. What form the documentation takes can be fluid, a full fledged wiki or a single readme.md file can fulfill the same role just as well! Some documentation is better than nothing, so start small and then improve it over time.
As a content creator, you want the platform to protect your copyright and at YouTube's scale, copyright scanners are the only way to implement this.

Will they produce false positives? Of course. Do the benefits to content creators outweigh the costs of these false positives? Yes if you believe creative content should be protected.

The only other viable model for content creators are subscription based services like Patreon and they have/will also be pressured by the entertainment industry or even the content creators themselves to flag copyright infringement once the platform gets large enough.

Then you essentially double the number of commits for a particular change, since it then becomes:

1. first related change

2. first merge commit

3. second related change

4. second merge commit

5. third related change

6. ...

Instead of just having all related changes in several commits with a merge commit at the end that groups those related changes.

Submodules often provide a terrible user experience because they are locked to a single version. To propagate a single commit, you need to update every single dependent repository. In some contexts that can be helpful, but in my experience it's mostly an enormous hassle.

Also it's awful that a simple git pull doesn't actually pull updated submodules, you need to run git submodule update (or sync or whatever it is) as well.

I don't want to work with git submodules ever again. The idea is nice, but the user experience is really terrible.
continually adjusted each year for cost of living.

One big risk here, or with any cyclically referenced benchmark, is runaway positive feedback. This can be exponential growth, oscillation, or exponentially growing oscillation.

If wages are referenced to CoL, but CoL is affected by wages, you have this risk.

A real example I have encountered: years ago, before an area I was living in experienced hyper demand, rent prices were fairly stable. I was able to get decent places just under $1k. My landlord was pretty chill, but said that they had to raise the rent eventually because they couldn't write off expenses (or maybe it was losses) if they were charging below the area median rent. So every year, landlords would have to increase the rent to the median, which would almost certainly raise the median (unless literally the bottom 50% of prices were exactly the same), and then they have to raise again, etc.

> Meanwhile we still don't have a minimum wage that is anything like livable.

Why should the minimum wage be livable on its own? The minimum income obviously should, but why should people who can’t currently provide labor worth a “livable” wage in the market be excluded from productive engagement in the economy?

The minimum wage is a crude hack to prevent economic coercion of low-negotiating-power labor by capital, but a UBI funded by progressive income taxes which treat capital income similarly to other income, would serve that purpose more effectively.

one good example was being able to control spotify. it doesn't work with the current redesign i don't think, but i used to be able to heart a song, show the current track name and artist in a tooltip, or list all the songs in your friends tab. lots of handy stuff like that and it all worked even when the spotify window was in the background
We're living through our 21st century version of Dutch Tulipmania, it seems.

Like every other asset perceived to be rare, Pokémon cards have shot up in price lately. Some cards are now selling for more than the median price of a house. And yes, you read that right: 1 rare Pokémon card > 1 median house. Naturally, people are raiding their closets hoping to find cards they can cash out, and the companies that grade and certify cards as authentic are overwhelmed with demand.

But holy mackerel, I'm not doing the OP justice:

> I had a First Edition Charizard, one of the most sought-after cards of all time, when I was 10. I sold it on eBay when I was 11, for $150. It was a huge sum of money at the time. One of these sold for more than $300,000 a few months ago. Like many other people, I have spent much of the last few months digging through my old cards, identifying which ones are valuable, and selling them on eBay.

> Over the last few months, as people have been raiding their closets for their old Pokémon card collections, they’ve been mailing their cards to get graded at one of the three major companies that does this. The companies are Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA), Certified Guaranty Company (CGC), and Beckett Grading Services (BGS).

> Under the weight of the resurgent Pokémon card hobby, each [of the grading companies] has been completely crushed by demand and COVID-related backlogs, to the point that, from the outside, it seems as though they are barely functioning (It’s not just Pokémon cards, there has also been a resurgence in sports card, Magic card, and Yu-gi-oh! card collecting).*

Your comment is one of those
Speaking of Robert Sedgewick, I deeply enjoyed his course Analysis of Algorithms, as Sedgewick beautifully showed the power of generating functions. Generating functions, or analytical combinatorics in general, make it order-of-magnitude easier to analyze algorithm complexities compared to what we learn in an introductory course. It's mind boggling to experience how higher-level constructs of math reveal simplicity and deep insights.
Yeah i am not sure either, but its weird that noone had this idea before it seems obvious especially when there was that one guy who made the static list, perhaps he it didnt sell well and that was the end of it.
Well, from Wikipedia his dad worked at a car dealership, but they lived quite well, with a stay-at-home mom, sailing lessons, and gobs of money on equipment. That sounds fairly well to do.

"As a child he was homeschooled by his mother, took sailing lessons,[7] and had an intense interest in electronics and engineering.[3][8] He took community college courses at Golden West College and Long Beach City College[5] beginning at the age of 14 or 15, and started attending courses at California State University, Long Beach[1] in 2010.[6] He wrote and served as online editor for the university's student-run newspaper, Daily 49er.[9]

During his childhood and teenage years, Luckey experimented with a variety of complex electronics projects including railguns, Tesla coils, and lasers, with some of these projects resulting in serious injuries.[1] He built a PC gaming "rig" worth tens of thousands of U.S. dollars[8] with an elaborate six-monitor setup.[10] His desire to immerse himself in computer-generated worlds led to an obsession with virtual reality (VR)."

I myself do and encourage my guys to do multiple commits to checkpoint their work. Also for bug fixes as you describe, first commit is the test proving its broken. This should turn the build red. Then another commit with the fix which makes the build green. All of this on the branch. PR it like that. It's valuable to see this history.

Once the PR is approved and before merging to master, rebase abd squash. The build failing intermediate commit is no longer valuable.
What is the point of reviews if the dev can just remove it if they don't like it? That will quickly give every app a five star rating.

And the reason users write "app doesn't work" instead of giving a complete description of the bug because app stores have a word limit on reviews. Even your rant here will cross the word limit of Google Play reviews.

And it's not like every dev behaves like they are intelligent either, most devs have a reply bot that tells people with negative reviews to check their internet.
