Efficient? Perhaps.

Safer and more reliable? Remains to be seen.

But you don't get something for nothing and the usual decrease in cost comes at a price. As a customer of Airbnb I am extremely aware I taking a greater chance using it than booking myself into a hotel. The likelihood of being robbed, scammed, having a lousy time etc is arguably higher. My home city, Melbourne Australia, has seen its fair share of scandals involving apartments being used as backpacker hostels. Cramming several people per room into cheap apartments is a recipe for among other things fiery death.

The laws should be changed to allow Airbnb to operate, but at the same time provide protection to everyone involved.
I have one of GHI's budget offerings in arduino form factor, the FEZ Panda II, and I really like it. In terms of quick prototyping and debugging I think the .NET Micro-framework is a hit.

However, I don't see it being useful outside of the hobbyist/prototyping domain. The run-time environment would be considered too bloated for the purpose of simple embedded systems (by simple I mean without an OS/RTOS) and requires more expensive hardware to support it.

However, I'm quite happy using C# and the .NET libraries! I'm putting together a wireless sensor network with a coordinator that doubles as an embedded web server to control various things via a web interface :D. Development time has definitely been reduced compared to writing everything in C.

Thank you (and everyone) for your kind words.

We're a team of three SF developers (Dave Augustine, Bob Burbach, and myself) working on FederalRegister.gov in our spare time (we have day jobs at airbnb.com and wested.org).

Two years ago we entered a developer competition run by the Sunlight Foundation to use content from the newly-released data.gov clearinghouse to build an open source application; we created http://GovPulse.us, and took second place; traffic grew and we kept working on the site.

Six months later, the Government Printing Office and the Office of the Federal Register contacted us; they wanted to know if we could take GovPulse and expand on it to create a new face for the Federal Register. We jumped at the opportunity, quickly formed a company, and got to work. Last July we launched Federal Register 2.0 and we've been iterating on it ever since.

It's hard to say what the lessons are; but we're definitely not typical government contractors. Largely I think it comes down to having the right people in the agencies who really want to make change, and having strong leadership from above encouraging such change. And I don't think its surprising that the Office of the Federal Register is on the cutting edge for openness--the Federal Register is one of the earliest and most important open-government institutions; and when trying to cut through red tape it doesn't hurt to have a staff comprised largely of regulatory lawyers.
The feds took over radio spectrum in the early days of spark gap transmitters for the "public good." It's just the way it is unless you want to fight the FCC at this point.

One of the major reasons all the consumer wireless devices suck is that only small slices of junk spectrum was given away to these unlicensed devices (ISM band). Additionally, the chaotic nature of open spectrum requires different contention protocols effect the efficiency and jitter characteristics of wireless networks. When you can't just call the feds to kick people off your band you have to "play nice" is possibly wasteful ways.

The original wifi protocol basically took carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) and turned it into collision avoidance (CSMA/CA). Instead of backing of after a collision (which we can't detect in wireless) we back off before every transmission - cutting throughput in half.

"Resource" does NOT imply that it is not living thing.

The fact that programmers are tradeable is good for programmers, because it creates more demand for programmers.
* If you're appending data to a string, and the variable-length increases by a byte, will you have to memmove() the entire existing string down 1 byte?

* Is every programmer responsible for detecting this condition?

* (This will make manual string manipulation very complicated and dangerous.)

* Suppose you're concatenating two strings, such that the sum of the lengths requires an additional byte. This could cause a buffer overflow. How would a strcat() function avoid causing a buffer overflow here?

* Does every string need a maximum-length counter too?

* Can you access a random element in the string without having to dereference and decode the length?

On the other hand, if you use a constant-sized length,

* What happens when you overflow the maximum length?

* Can you erroneously create a shorter string by appending text?

* How should string libraries handle this condition? By abort()ing? By returning a special error code? Does every string manipulation need to be wrapped in an if() to detect the special error? How should the programmer handle this condition?

In either case,

* Can you tokenize a string in-place?

* Can an attacker read a program's entire address space by finding an address that begins 0xffffffff and treating it as a string?

Other languages certainly get better, and many can rely on extensive libraries.

That said, why not try Clojure? Best of both worlds, and then some.

I don't understand your point. I could run it with memory constrained to, say, 100 KB, and it will quickly produce an OOM condition. I clearly said that the approach I sketched in my first comment is not practically applicable.

Real-life computers have bounded memory, so they don't have any more computational power than, say, regular expressions matchers -- every computational task performed by real computer can be represented by appropriately complicated regular expression. That's why one needs to be especially careful when arguing from computability when talking about real-life problems.

The more serious issue is a treatment of I/O.

Amazon's battle with sales tax
It used to be that the part of a business that managed hiring was called "Personnel" but somewhere along the line, its name got changed to "Human Resources". In other words, all employees became "resources".

Meanwhile, "the economy" is ascribed human attributes, as if it were a person. Consider phrases like "stimulate the economy" and "the health of the economy". (In case there's any confusion, the economy is not a person. It's an abstract concept.)

The word "resource" is also used to describe other inputs in a business, such as financial resources and natural resources (e.g. aluminum), neither of which is living or human.

While it's true that "resouce" doesn't imply something non-living, it also doesn't imply something living. Why not use more human, personal language to describe people?

It still is applicable, as long as you have a bound on the number of unknown states, however the number of computation steps in this case is so high that it is even less practical than the totally unpractical algorithm I proposed in my first comment.

Let's consider both computers (yours and 3rd party) as a single computational device, with a state represented by a pair of symbols, where the first represents your computer and the second the 3rd party's. Suppose your computer has N states and the other M. It's enough to run N * M + 1 computation steps -- if your program hasn't ended so far, it will never, for there's a certain state (a, b) that must have occured twice, by the pigeonhole principle.

Please keep in mind that this is all purely theoretical, and not at all practical. It's just a counterargument to other purely theoretical argument from unsolvability of halting problem.

> You can fake it anywhere else with more or less work

That doesn't make sense, because there's no way to twist it. It's more work and duplication. I want macros all the time in JavaScript and that is a pretty flexible and dynamic language.

Most of Lisp's other features are common now. Macros are still a big one but you don't need them every day. Lisp has powerful exception handling but I'd rather have Erlang style error handling and recovery.

Lisp's draw is waning but only because our languages are lispy in ways that really matter. We have dynamic, garbage collection languages with REPLs and built in high level data structures that are even better because we have native syntax for them. I don't want to keep track of N different kinds of assoc lists... and I really like Lisp.
Mods or OP, will you please change the title? It's Tepco, not Tipco, and even if this was correct, we lack proper context to know what Tepco is or why we should care.

"Fukushima Radiation Levels Shoot Back Up"
AFAIK this is actually incredibly common. The example that springs to my mind is people writing matrix libraries that manipulate the code to "compile" it to use more efficient algorithms. People do this kind of thing in C++, such as in Blitz++, but you end up having to pull heroics with the type system (and end up with some pretty abused syntax at times) to accomplish what is much easier in a homoiconic language like Lisp.
I know and enjoy Lisp, but I don't use it anymore. I do, however, use Ruby, which is an acceptable Lisp.
http://www.randomhacks.net/articles/2005/12/03/why-ruby-is-a...

In general, Lisp doesn't seem special anymore because (1) language implementers have taken Lisp's most important lessons and applied them to their own languages and (2) said languages have become relatively popular.

A lot's happened since "Beating the Averages".

There were plenty that were just hedonistic punks. The lesson is that you can't just apply a blanket label to people.
I've been using Common Lisp for quite a few years now yet I have written very few macros (although I have used a great many written by others!), however there's times when you need their power when nothing else will do.

Also because you can modify the syntax with them they can really clean and clear up your code.
In the context when it's important to highlight that conversation is about humans, managers use different words.

E.g.: "I need to send my developers to security training".

But sometimes it could be beneficial to think in terms of "resources".

For example, in order to deliver the project you need some resources. That could be internal developers, contractors, or 3rd-party solution that delivers required functionality.

It may be easier to compare potential choices against each other and make business decision when you think in terms of "resource".

Bots isnt a problem - they are a symptom of game play deficiencies. People would not "bot" the fun bits - they bot the bad/grindy bits, in order to spend maximum amount of time on the "fun" bits that they actually like to do.

The key here is "always". When I'm doing high level (resource) planning, I'll refer to programmers (which includes myself) as resources, because in that context, that's what they are, part of the entire collection of people and things we need to achieve our goal.

What other term do you expect managers to use for that? "People and stuff?" Or each role filled by a human separately, "programmers, testers, designers and inanimate objects"?

For a profession obsessed with accurately and consistently naming things, we seem to be a bit over-sensitive when the "domain objects" include us...
I've used pickfu a few times - usually get results in 24 hours. I'm bad with colors so it's nice to be able to ask 50 people for $5 which look they like better of a site.

Bcrypt - symmetric encryption
I'm investigating whether I can use bcrypt not just for password hashing, but to encrypt database contents as well.

The idea would be to run a strong password through bcrypt (with an appropriately high work factor, so that the operation takes perhaps 10ms), and then use the digest created as a symmetric key to encrypt the database record.

I would obviously NOT store the digest in the database; rather, to authenticate the user, I'd decrypt their database entry and verify that it was correct (something cheap like checking the first few bytes for a known value, for instance).

I would certainly store the work factor and the salt, as those would be needed to re-hash the provided password and generate the symmetric key.

It looks like bcrypt outputs a 186-bit hash (31 base64 chars, and I don't know why it says 184 bits here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5881169/storing-a-hashed-password-bcrypt-in-a-database-type-length-of-column).

Not sure if it would it be safe to pad that out and use 192-bit AES as my symmetric algorithm... or is there something insecure about that which I don't realize? Would it make sense to use a different algorithm?

Would love some feedback on whether this scheme makes sense, whether there's something better to do, and any pointers to additional reading.
Lisp works with me to get the job done. Other languages typically impose a Way to get the job done.

I don't think like other language designers often. So I like a flexible language.
