Depends on what you mean by "reserved word". In Common Lisp, you can define your own cons and defun, provided that you're not attempting to mutate the respective symbols from the COMMON-LISP package. That can be achieved by either defining your own cons and defun and shadowing the cons and defun from the COMMON-LISP package (typically for function or macro bindings), or just straight up using cons and defun from the COMMON-LISP package in "legal" ways - for example (let ((cons 1) (defun 2)) (list cons defun)) is legal and evaluates as '(1 2) since using those two symbols as names for lexical variables doesn't break the running Lisp in any way. In the former case (of defining your own functions/macros accessed as "unqualified" cons or defun from your own code) it's up to you if you consider cons and defun to be "reserved words" based on their package or not (packages for reserved words being something that languages explicitly recognizing the concept of a reserved word don't seem to have, so it's not clear how this should qualify). In Scheme, a Lisp-1, it's kind of free-for-all, especially in R5RS where you don't even have to bother with hiding standard bindings.
It was more than 20 years ago so I don't remember: quickly skimming through it I don't think so. I still have emails somewhere I exchanged back then with the dev who wrote the article so I may be able to find the date.

But in any case: the technique ain't new.
Show HN: Writing a film score with one monophonic synthesizer

Yeah, that's what I meant. (Except that the world population is now nearly 8 billion.)
Even with a strict timetable you need extra spacing between trains and potentially slowdowns to allow passing to be done properly. These systems on busy lines tend to run trains as close to each other as possible without causing safety issues so there's no buffer room. And if something goes wrong for any reason the whole system starts getting cascading delays.
Blackberry really gave you root? Huh. Symbian S60, which was an attempt at a Blackberry clone as far as I understand it, had a mandatory app signing policy (but no app repository or review, just a rent on developers).

Apple's New Privacy Stance – Legal Perspective
I’m sick of programming languages that use “fast typing” and “productiveness” as a selling point. There’s no selling point in being productive doing a counter in a few seconds, production scenarios are far more complex and very often all those new programming languages fall short to their promise. Btw I don’t want to be fast or productive, I want to write code that works decently and is great for other humans myself included
Has nothing to do with using a switch or not.

If send a 1Gbit udp stream over a switch to another machine there will be no drops if both are connected with 1Gbit, the same is true if you use tcp, and over a router assuming its capable of forwarding that amount of traffic. If you have a third machine sending udp or tcp traffic towards the one receiving the 1Gbit udp stream you'll have drops on both streams. Doesn't matter what protocol you use, if you have congestion you'll have drops. You typically use udp if your application is real time, or if you want to create your own reliability mechanism and/or avoid issues with devices in the middle that does things with tcp.
Twenty years of support was not enough? Did they need 100? If it doesn’t work within 2-5 years, it’s not going to work. Cut your losses and run.

Maybe there was some support for this in some areas of Kabul, but certainly not in the countryside.
I'm a bit confused here... I thought a vaccine that protected you from Lyme disease already existed? I grew up in Latvia, and it was pretty common to get that jab. You have to get boosters every 5 years or so (which I haven't really done since I moved away) but they're supposed to protect you from the encephalitis ticks? Sorry if the terminology is wrong here.

I was surprised to know that they didn't bother with that in the UK. Then I got even more surprised when I learned that there's actually a lot of ticks in Scotland. I don't understand why this isn't spoken about more. Back at school they taught you at primary school what to do if ou het bitten, how to take it out, where to bring it for tests etc.
I think your observation confirms that it's underrated. The people who don't talk about money use a weird notion of ownership where it means responsibility, but doesn't seem to mean benefits.

Marx is turning in his grave.

Ownership that OP means is about having the agency to be part of the whole picture: responsibilities, work, challenges, and results.

They will never give a response to us about this. They were able to 'ban' ISIS but the Taliban were still there.

This can only be explained as reactionary.
For me, at least $100, probably quite a bit more if I thought about it. However, I don't know that you could legally manufacture and sell/group buy such things. Nutraceuticals gets exceptions under the current, disastrous law but this wouldn't qualify.
Not that I disagree that what we have today is a big mess but this sounds to me almost like the philosophy behind the old PHP version that everyone seems to hate. Personally I'd much rather have everything separated in a better HTML/CSS/JS than HTML+CSS+JS in one big pile. But I'm also not a fan of JavaScript at all, especially not of the hyped "one framework today, another tomorrow" that is JS development today. In my opinion in that area we are moving backwards very quickly.
> Internationalization and accessibility are very consumer product focused features

This way of thinking is why I, as a blind developer, need to deal with so many horribly inaccessible tools, I guess.

If you think that only the consumer-focused part of your tools needs to be accessible, you're wrong.
you can find what you need on the Internet, there is a lot of blogs where people describe what have they done.

You can be biased after working in FAANG companies. They have a stream of people that want to work there, they have money to hire a lot of them. They have no incentive to increase productivity or change suboptimal processes. You will learn that their work style is the best work style. That will be not true.

This profession is not for poor people anymore. it's a gig economy. everything can change. in last 15 years stuff got easier, but somehow getting into IT companies is harder. there is a lot of added complexity where things should be easier (js webframeworks are the same shit as php webframeworks, nothing changed, js programmers think they are awesome but they repeat the same shit). this thing will blow up. there is no worker shortage. there is a shortage of workers who can accept bullshit. you will be treated like garbage, you will be exploited, you will be forced to work long hours and you will benefit nothing from it (you will spend more money on making yourself happy). you like CS? cool. get a normal job, save money, find yourself a wife, have a home, do projects on the side - some of them might click

A bit of legal advice, if you know you are facilitating a crime for personal gain, you are likely guilty of a crime. A judge will take dim view of your excuse about the killer or money launderer having his own "agency".

Do you really think these imports are legally clean, they haven't greased a few palms at the customs? You can import anything into Russia if you bribe the right guy.

I bet that if we investigated even just the western side of the trash export industry, we will fund it to be a corupt crine-ridden cesspool
> During a 1999 lecture to Foreign Office officials, the originator of the term lateral thinking argued that the yeast extract, though proverbially socially divisive, could do what politicians and diplomats had failed for years to achieve. The problem, as he saw it, was that people in the Middle East eat unleavened bread and so lack zinc, which makes them irritable and belligerent. Feeding them Marmite, therefore, would help create peace.

Is this meant to be funny? I don't get it.
> Yes, Go has fully general GC but very few problem domains have a real need for general GC.

No, no one needs a GC, but many problem domains need productivity, and GC is the most productive way to manage memory to date. As previously mentioned, Rust has made truly impressive strides in improving productivity of borrow-checking, but it still remains quite far behind GC.
It's not that it "must die", there's just no incentive for Google to keep it around. It's just a cost tagged on to maintenance of Google Groups which can be cost without any major downsides (from Googles perspective).

It's more surprising that they haven't killed Google Groups completely.
Any tips on extending the life of our clothes? I love new t-shirts, but they seem to wear down quickly. Maybe there is a way to wash them and get the sweat smell out without wearing down the shirt. I always use cold water, and only wash/dry when necessary. I heard washer agitation is a problem.
Compound that with the depth work too.

Unlike most metro systems, many London Underground (tube) lines are bored, and at a much greater depth. The Northern, Victoria, Bakerloo and Jubilee lines go under the river; while most systems route trains over bridges.

The history of the tube is fascinating. The most recent lines (Victoria, Jubilee, CrossRail/Elizabeth) were built by a centralised authority. The older lines were built by various railway companies wanting to extend their lines into London. Over the years, railway companies dissolved and merged, leaving the fairly awkward map (the two branches of the Northern line share a platform at Camden, a stations at Euston and Kennington, and usually nothing else).

Because of the depth and lack of foresight when building anything, changing the network is nigh on impossible without major disruption.

For example, a new terminal is being built at Bank, meaning the Northern Line platform is no longer a ’bridge’ between Bank and Monument. Most of the work is done, but a substantial amount of the line will close for 3 months to finish it off. (Unfortunately, this is my commute. It’s annoying but I’m ok with it.)
Even if the machine is physically separated, it still needs to be integrated. At the very least, you need a way of telling the machine what is owed and a method for the machine to communicate back that the amount has been payed, and it can't be easily spoofed. Nowadays there is a lot more customer specific integration as well (deals, rebates, signing people up for mailing lists, etc). There are about a dozen different communication standards for POS systems, and some POS systems support more than one, but there are also boatloads of proprietary communications protocols floating around. Presumably you're replacing the POS system with one from the same manufacturer, so the communication protocol is likely to be supported, but that doesn't mean any custom software you have on your system will run as is.

And even if you can hotswap a POS system, they're still expensive. A machine plus software is about $4000 per lane, and that's when you're not a captive market. Even small retailers typically have enough lanes that this is a significant expense. People in this thread are giving prices for Square readers which 1) are not at all sufficient for most businesses and 2) are sold at a loss while Square makes its money on transaction fees and subscription services (the same is true for the rest of the Square clones). It's like comparing a home projector to a movie theater projector.
Yeah I think of it almost as a mathematical problem. There are simply more ways for a human body to go wrong than any number of doctors possibly can comprehend :) There is a very very long tail of diseases and disorders.

So it's not just easy to find something that ONE doctor has never heard of or seen, but you can find many that ALL doctors are unfamiliar with!
How do you know so much about NZ? I'm sure all of kiwis are cheering this because everyone is so wealthy and does not at all have their livelihood affected.

Rags were and still are a useful item in industrial shops as they are stronger than paper towels, don't fall apart, and handle sharp metal edges and rough surfaces.

In the old days a "ragman" would come by your shop and buy/sell scrap fabric for rag use. When I was a kid in the 80's I distinctly remember a man pulling up in an old truck and my father buying a few boxes of rags for his machine shop, rummaging through a few boxes looking for the ones with the larger sheets and heavier material.

At home I have a bag in my basement full of old clothing I use for whatever. I even wash them if they're not covered in something which could foul the washing machine (e.g. automotive grease/oil/fuel).
Flawed in what sense? I don't doubt that there are some conceptual drawbacks, and this only benchmarked chrome, not other browsers. I do think there's some utility in relative comparisons that have a standard/fixed baseline, as it would still seem to show what overhead a framework/library brings to the table.

FWIW, my initial impression of imba is that it's very impressive. I do think you rightly point out that, at this point, it may still be hard to leave larger ecosystems of react/vue/etc. DOM/UI speed of the project's JS toolkit generally has not been any meaningful impact in the projects I've worked on in the last several years - the data size and audience and app space just don't really call for it. However... as my needs change, imba will be something I'll revisit. Thank you.
This isn't right. They are counted as income when they vest. They will appear on your W-2. When you sell them is not important for the purpose of income taxation.

> Is that even possible for Spotify at this point?

Spotify are using Widevine on their web client, which is considerably more annoying to deal with than the encryption method used in the files fetched by Psst.

Nothing is stopping them from only serving files from the endpoint that serves Widevine protected files.

Then again, Widevine L3 has been broken[0], Google just keeps rotating the private keys used in the content decryption module.

Yes. Universal Basic Income, with perhaps decaying value currencies, is needed once due to inflation everything gets too expensive while wages stagnate due to capital concentration. Or some big marxist wet dream revolution happens and the society resets.

What is IMO most likely to happen is a proliferation of bullshit jobs as people need money (and hence need jobs which pay salary) because giving UBI is some sort of ultimate evil decadence of communism* or something (even though it is great for a consumption driven economy). So no taxation of the richer folk directly but indirect taxation through employment of pen-pushers.

* UBI makes no sense in a communist society BTW. One of the core tenets is no money.

Oh yeah, the IPv6 saga at Google cloud is a long running joke. However this is indeed a decent step forward, in particular this is relevant to the comment I replayed to: in order to reach a VM traffic has to traverse the network fabric, which clearly now supports IPv6.

As for GKE that's another pair of shoes, probably more related to configuring calico and friends and less about limitations in the low level network fabric.

As for Google API, I read somewhere that they disabled it because billing exemption wasn't ready.

Heh reading the article it is not clear to me what the difference between abstraction and formalism is. If I have to guess from the colloquial usage of the word, abstraction is more about removing details, while formalism is about adding elements/details which do not originate from the domain. Maybe people often arrive at the same abstractions but formalisms are often unique.

In your example clustering is probably an abstraction but the rules for choosing names might be a formalism. Unsupervised vs supervised learning is another comparison that this connotes..
As someone who has used Apple computers for decades — including the ][+ and dozens of Macs — I feel I must rebut some of the specious arguments being made here. To wit:

* Mac software quality has indeed declined precipitously over the last decade.

* It is not “Apple bashing” to point out that fact.

* OP never claims the failed upgrade is the only example of said quality decline, but rather that it is one of many representative examples of that trend.

* One failed upgrade in 20 years is not good, nor is it anything to brag about. As the OP pointed out, what is a normal computer user supposed to do in this scenario? This simply should not happen, ever. Features should be dropped, deadlines should be eliminated, and work on everything else at Apple should stop until they can ship an upgrade that does not fail, or at least fails gracefully with an easy way to recover.

* For those who point out they upgraded just fine: “It works for me” is not a compelling argument. On the contrary, it is a terrible argument that should never be made, or be taken seriously, by anyone, ever.

In past years I always looked forward to upgrading to Apple’s latest and greatest. Now I dread upgrades and avoid them until I can’t avoid them any longer. I am still running Mojave, and experiences like the OP’s only reinforces my confidence in the validity of that strategy.

Really interesting project! I will definitely be trying it out today. One question—although you criticize some of the more common vdom benchmarks, I think it is still valuable to see where the dom updating strengths and weaknesses are in various approaches.

I think it would be cool to see an entry for imba in the js-framework-benchmark table, especially considering your claim of low memory footprint.

A comparison with the CO2 emissions, to get a sense of the scale of the problem.

>> Globally, that’s the equivalent of one garbage truck of textiles being burned or going into landfill every second.

Globally we put a bit more than 1000 tons of CO2 in the air every second.

An average garbage truck has a volume of about 20 cubic meters. Textiles are pretty fluffy, their density is about one tenth the density of water [1], so we have about 2 tons of textiles in a garbage truck. If all gets burned, you end up with about 6 tons of CO2 in the atmosphere.

> But doing that would ruin any chances I ever had of being able to retire early.

> I would love to be able to retire and get into meditation / travelling the world / learning about things for fun.

I lost some of the best years of my life because of thinking among the same lines. What I had failed to consider:

- The more you make, the more you want, you never have "enough"

- Whatever you save, keeps losing its value, sometimes rapidly, and there are no bullet-proof investments

- An injury or sickness can suddenly make your long-term plans impossible

- Being miserable/depressed deteriorates your health and shortens your lifespan

- You change as you get older, the stuff that excites you right now may not be as exciting to the future you

My advice would be - don't waste your life chasing an arbitrary financial goal. You'll either burn out, or keep pushing it forever forward, or be too old and miserable to be happy when you get there.

Consider that you'll never again be as young as healthy as you are right now.

Better find yourself a job which you'd be happy doing even if you could never retire, and build some happy / healthy / harmonious lifestyle around it.

Several states felt it was necessary to pass laws regarding Lyme and provide immunity to physicians willing to treat long haul covid...errr long haul lyme patients.

Seems rather naive to presume they had to pass new laws because Lyme has no political headwinds. It has plenty of controversy around it, for better or worse.
