My 2015 MBP will output 4K/60Hz through its native HDMI port as well. ;)

That said I understand the concessions here, the comments indicate the HDMI port is likely sharing a lane with the SD card reader. You can still get higher resolutions and refresh via the other ports. Although I won't be buying one of these machines for a long time, it's still nice to see the ports make a return.
>This isn't true. Something creative, some web toy, gets linked on HN's front page at least once a day.

it's pretty undeniable that the web was more unique before the tooling and resources existed for laymen to easily spin up a site using an off-the-shelf solution, style-sheet, template, etc.

The grainy photo of slipknot may have been the same one from site to site -- digital media was uncommon and was generally scavenged from band sites and similar -- but many of those sites had hand-written code to facilitate the photo. Handwritten code that was unique and different from site to site.

Yeah, there is more artwork and toys on the internet now -- that's a function of the massive surge in popularity and accessibility and the world's populations finally getting to 'come online' -- but 'uniqueness'? That's way down ever since GeoCities and getting worse every day since.

It's now trivial to go find 1000s of Hugo/Gatsby/Hexo/Jekyll that all use the same exact style sheets and templates, but with different data on each site.

That's nice from an accessibility stand-point, but we lost a degree of uniqueness and creativity without a doubt.

After complete price equality, I don't think it will be possible to have mandatory equal delivery times, so surely Amazon will still win out based on faster delivery.
> We know the vaccines are not sterilizing so you can still catch and spread it

Unfortunately US media and government messaging at the beginning of this year touted the vaccines effectiveness as we historically understood vaccines to be, which was relatively sterilizing and a preventative. When Delta started infecting the fully vaccinated, it underscored the skepticism around these vaccines.

Ironically, right now, I know more people in my social circle that have had breakthrough cases then people who had Covid prior to vaccine’s release.
> It's a dissapointing framing & difficult to try to move a conversation forward past this low bogland Norvig sets up.

Wishing things were different than they are doesn't make it so. If there's an argument that's hard to move past, it probably means its a good argument.

Its not even a unique argument - its something every open-membership distributed system has to answer. The spam issue itself has been the death of many such systems (usenet comes to mind)
I think at some point we should clarify why we mean by Lisp. I see a lot of mention of Clojure, while most people seem to assume that Lisp == Common Lisp. I feel like talking about Common Lisp, Racket, Scheme, Clojure at the same time while putting them all under the "Lisp" umbrella seem to be a bit pointless when we're talking about languages. It's like mentionning JS in a conversation about C because "JS is a language with a C-style syntax and macros (with Babel)". That's true but it's a totally different languages, and that's without even mentionning the different implementations of C and JS.

>For example dual citizenship should automatically trigger FARA reporting.

I have read periodic stories in the news, sob stories about how hard it is to renounce US citizenship. Including via HN quite recently.

My impression is that because the US tends to regard giving up citizenship as tax evasion, means that dual citizenship is a lot more common than in many countries who may not even allow it.

So, practically speaking, I wonder if the change you want might arouse opposition among other people than the ones you want to target.

Group 1 being people who are dual citizens with other countries than Israel, and their allies.

Group 2 being any entity that doesn't want to incentivize people to give up US citizenship and stop paying taxes.

Tactically, you might portray dual citizenship as being an Israeli/Jewish thing, but strategically it seems important to be clear on whether it's true. I don't know.
Ok, I can see the lopsided lawyers marrying lawyers, but how is it that software developers are so lopsidedly marrying other software developers when something like 90% of them are male?

I guess pretty much every female software developer marries a male software developer which works out to the 12% number?

Makes me sorta want to see a breakdown by sex. aka "male software developer has a 6% chance of marrying a software developer vs female software developer which has a 95% chance of marrying another software developer."

OTOH, its not as pronounced with nurses which have a similar problem in reverse.
Could you elaborate a few specific points on this?

Curious because I'm on the same boat.

I was annoyed for a while how ruby convention uses '?' characters at the end of method names that return a boolean.

I'm not even that old and I still want to yell `[a-zA-Z0-9_]+` identifier names or get off my lawn.

For most queries, on most sites, searching sitename + query in google will give you better results than using the site's native search. Nobody is going to waste their time learning what the exceptions are.
Definitely Common Lisp. Instant startup time (load all your dependencies and then dump a new SBCL compiler with ‘save-lisp-and-die’), great emacs support, a mature ecosystem, and fast.

Clojure is great if you don’t care about the startup time, as it has good emacs support, and you can fall back on the JVM ecosystem. It’s the most concise of all the lisps I have tried, but also a tad opinionated.
Can you actually point to a sentence in the terms of use which say that? I see nothing like that on the PACER website.
Macs still give the user full control over Software Update.

Yes. A better style of movie, that engages in storytelling, and not shallow highlights riffing off the experience of the book, with sufficient razzle dazzle to make people who haven't read the book follow along. The power of Dune is the interwoven plots, not the linear narrative the movie attempts.

It wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't good.

the "recently recovered from covid" is the 180 day PCR test case, because it's defined as having a positive antibody test in the last 180 days ("recently"). So no I am not going to apply the section that is not relevant to those who have recovered with a positive antibody test in the last 6 months.

By reading the wrong section, you've come to the wrong conclusion as to how the recovered are treated.
>You can think that, but all I'm saying (sincerely) is that I do not have enough imagination to interpret what you write as being in "good faith".

If you're going to accuse me of something then I would prefer you just came right out and said what it is that you're accusing me of. No beating around the (burning?) bush.

>you didn't care about the Palestinians

It's not that I don't care, merely that as an American I see no benefit to intervening. To me the conflict between the Arabs and Israelis is the same as the conflict between the Hutu and Tutsi. I see them as more alike than different. As I'm not a member of either group I don't fully understand these conflicts which is all the more reason to not intervene.

As far as I am aware the Iranians are an indo european population group but this is an academic exercise not a political one. I would recommend the lectures given at the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago if you would like to learn more.

You can request a copy from ICANN through the Centralized Zone Data Service (CZDS). It's a pretty neat service and will give you access to zone files for a few months, you just need to file a request to one/multiple TLDs you are interested in seeing.

Sometimes larger TLDs take a bit longer to respond to requests, whereas some others automatically accept all requests.

That's quite a handy optimisation from gcc - I only dabble in C++ so maybe it would be obvious to someone that uses it day to day, but I had a good look at that code and couldn't see any obvious way to make is_empty O(1) based on its implementation.
I think there's a lot of work to be done before you can start shooting scenes. Screenplay, set design etc. Since the project wasn't officially greenlit they would have had to be creative to pay for all that. I doubt it would have happened.

But I'm not in the film industry so perhaps I'm wrong!
I think many aspects of Agile are sensible enough in most situations.

My negative experience with Agile has mainly been through people who are ideological about it and insist, when agile fails, that it was not the fault of the process or some other factor, but rather the fault of the people who "didn't implement agile right."

A bit of humility from the Agile community would be very welcome, as well as clarification of what types of problems it works well for and which ones it doesn't, where the dangers are, etc.
I guess I'm wondering what the point of pandas is here. And maybe in general? We hired a data engineer awhile ago and he kept complaining that the "python kernel" was crashing and he needed bigger instances to run his pandas scripts. I took a look and realized he was trying to pull the entire database of a nearly a billion rows into python to do some trivial joins, groupings, and filtering. I'm thinking, what are you doing man.

I think this is pretty common in the pandas world right
> HN is one of the few (maybe the only) forum that still tolerates some intellectual discussion about issues that other sites would ignorantly label as conspiracy / misinformation and ban discussion

What sort of topics do you mean?
Seems like we just have a better "map" now, but I don't otherwise agree with your idea at all.

HN has 30 or so unique sites linked from its front page that constantly are swapped out for other ones. You probably have never heard of many of them before. Why isn't this "exploring"?
Perhaps not, but it's what they use instead of Facebook.
Clearly those real lawyers were just trying to milk you for their % contingency fee on that $1.
Really don't know what some here are talking about, you don't bookmark things that you have no time to look at anyway?

My exported bookmarks.html is 4 MB and that's probably on the small side, because some I lost, some I went through and deleted a few years back. There's also a lot that I saved on Reddit.

But it's pretty apparent that proper blogs a few and far between now and if you have some obscure knowledge, then you're better of writing Wikipedia pages about it, not starting your own site.
The best internet primer I know of is Wes Cecil's youtube channel, he's a Literature professor in the PNW, and does hour long public lectures a couple of times a month and uploads them there in categorized playlists. These are good to start with because they're for a general-public audience, rather than for students who have already read the material once and are just in class to get the finer points and debate the concepts (that's why these things don't typically translate well to video lessons, his channel is an exception).

From there, you can go on and read yourself what interests you, and while I typically have little use for the prospect of learning by video rather than reading, humanities / philosophy / literary study is one example in which you will get a lot more from the material if you find a lecture that accompanies it.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9ff15w4ufviWfv9UfIuByA

Even as a humanities grad who has been through a lot of this stuff once, I find myself listening to his lectures for nostalgia's sake. Humanities classes are fun, that's why people still go to them.
1. Many of the creators of web sites and many of the users have changed. The creators often know diddly squat except some framework, they often work for a dullard and produce dull nonsense. The audience is often deeply "consumer" in the derogatory meaning of the word.

Result: When you're surfing you see so much of no interest that it's no longer fun.

(There is good stuff out there it's just so hard to find.)

2. The search engines also actively destroyed all those people who used to list interesting sites. Now the replacement for finding interesting sites is often some half witted algorithm, that's definitely not human, definitely hasn't the slightest clue and won't even let you take charge to get what you want.

3. People used to write their own material, experiment with program driven sites, be interesting. Now so many, even those who used to be interesting, make regurgi-posts all the time. They provide a link to an article that they've often not really read. That article is produced by somebody under time pressure who thinks the web is some text and a stock image or two, but mostly 100 times as much code as anything useful, so they can watch your every move, extract your money.

That's enough for now. If you want you can recreate the web as something that increases your intellect, not this destroyer abomination thing, choice is yours. If you have say five or so friends similarly inclined you can do it. Your choice.

Government can be said to there to protect people from themselves in some cases. If Amazon ran the world, 90% of us would be wage-slaves with no benefits.

You wouldn’t want to live in a world like that, but you also aren’t likely to fight it yourself and even if you tried you probably wouldn’t succeed.

It’s basically why we have any sort of regulation.

If you don't conflate gender with marriage, there's more opportunity for software developer couples.
When your definition of 'the internet' is websites, the limitation is probably you. There's so much going on that I consider websites to be the least interesting. There's social media, games, virtual worlds, commerce, art, events.. and so many more.
Some CL implementations (including SBCL) have optional static type checking around function boundaries.

Barring that, Julia is a lispy language with great support for optional typing.

Both of the above will get a potentially better performance when you add types (the checks are (mostly?) done at compile time). Racket also has optional types, but I think these contracts are checked at runtime? I am not sure.
I would guess that mostly comes down to age. "Computer programmers" is kind of an old-fashioned job classification, so it's going to skew much older than "software developers".
So the browser isn't really suited to this sort of thing
I once spent about four months going through several hundred patents of a competitor, finding a way to do a product that did not infringe. We more or less succeeded, but man it was painful. Had expert legal help (and permission of our corporate lawyers) -- don't go off on your own and read these things.

A few thoughts on patents:

- Don't bother reading anything other than the claims. Ignore everything else (yes, even the diagrams) unless referenced by the claims.

- Yes, they do try to -- and succeed in -- patenting stuff you can pull out of a textbook. One patent was a near cut-and-paste of some stuff on Kalman filters (that one made me pretty mad).

- Any time a patent lawyer makes a reference to a patent's "teachings", punch them in the nose. These things don't teach anyone anything, that's an impolite fiction for a game that's really all about obfuscation. If there was a patent that described how to nail two boards together, you wouldn't walk away from reading that patent with any useful knowledge.

- The very fact that every company in the US will tell you "Please, for the love of Pete, don't go read patents on your own, without permission" again belies that these things are land-grabs that are never designed to advance the state of the art through teaching.

I am not a lawyer. I do not play one on TV.

Probably a lack of your own imagination. There’s a lifetime of interesting books on Amazon.
Pretty common and I think one of the main reasons why is that Pandas API has a very low entry barrier to get productive. It is very easy to do something without really knowing anything about computer science.

Oh, THAT part has little to do with profession; my spouse's and my jobs were completely different (or so we thought!), but if your relationship works and you are "each other's 'person'", ranting about work is part of the SLA :->

FWIW, my experience:

- Key is to look at sum balance. Yes, absolutely, somebody else unwinding will increase your stress level; but IF unwinding reduces their stress level more than it increases yours (and vice verse when the tables are turned), it's a net win. And it goes beyond work rants; any intimate opening, sharing of concern or anxiety or even admitting past wrongs etc, will impose a burden on the listener. But if you believe or can work it out so that, e.g. "this increased my burden by +10 but reduced your burden by -70, so it's a good thing we did it", it'll help build mutual understanding and trust.

- Show empathy, don't try to solve. Cliche, stereotypical, but a person will tell you when they need active considered advice, as opposed to sympathy and ear. HARD for any of the IT problem solving personalities :)

- As a natural result of first two, you'll figure out who's had a worse day and gets priority; and you'll also figure out how to take some of their burden without becoming overwhelmed with it. Again, if their ask is sympathy not resolution, it's actually a lot less burden upon you than it may feel; or rather, us problem solvers impose burden on us that's not actually there :)

- More personal, but, FWIW... my spouse shared bad stories and rants about their work as a store manager, the drama of customers and supervisors and workers and people and policies etc, for 3 or 4 years. I listened patiently, tried to show support... didn't even realize how much I ingested & learned from it. When I transformed from sysadmin to people manager, after a year I realized that I've been implementing all the hard earned experience, lessons learned, approaches and thoughts she shared. One day, all my work problems were her problems of 3 years ago and it allowed me to succeed in that unforeseen (and somewhat unsought:P) transformation. So as we awkwardly say in my language, you never know what's good for what :)

This offering seems a lot more compelling than the serverless databases offered by AWS directly.

At least if cost and scaling to zero is important to you.
Dynamodb addresses the cost issue, but it's so painful to use, and is unsuitable for a lot of use-cases.
Aurora Serverless takes 30 seconds to cold-start, so it's also usually a non-starter, other than for batch type workloads.

So great work, but I have a couple of questions:

Any plans to support AWS privatelink? I played around with this a bit, and it seems you need to connect to it over the internet which isn't always ideal.

Will there be a limit on how many free databases you can create?
I think there are some valid use-cases where one might want to create a bunch of them, but I would be scared to do this at the risk of being kicked off your platform for abuse.
I know you said physical, but as an author if a student emailed me and asked for a discount on a digital edition, I'd give them a big discount code without a second thought. It's costless and easy for me to provide. Physical is not costless and is more complicated.

Also, digital has a lot of advantages for books that are likely to get updates.
I have a feeling their mod team bans more people than left because of the news.

Even in hockey trash talk groups everyone is getting 30 day bans within a week or two of their last ban.

Not sure what the moral panic is all about, no one really cares what FB does with our posts it’s more about people calling your work because you trashed their team. Mostly everyone is looking for another platform where we can post memes without getting banned.
