Coming from a person who lived for a while in South Africa as a refugee as well as worked in Israel, Israel is simply not an apartheid state. It’s more arguable that the situation in the West Bank bears some similarity, but it lacks the critical features of apartheid such as lack of governmental representation, lack of the right to vote based on race, massively disparate funding enshrined in law according to race, denial of public services due to race, etc. None of these are found in Israel, and some of them are found to a certain extent in the West Bank, but not all of them and not entirely. It’s a hip buzzword though that gets people’s attention, which is why it’s used by Palestinian activists.

No one accused you of antisemitism either, and what I always find rather curious are those who almost always pre-empt their responses saying that someone will baselessly accuse them of antisemitism, when no one in fact actually does. Way to figure out how to blame Jews anyhow even when they don’t do anything.

What’s more, there are literally hundreds of thousands of Jews who are ambivalent about Israel and criticise it daily, and yet you seem to put all Jews into a single monolith and claim that it’s a ‘tactic’ of theirs. Sounds eerily like Nazi era propaganda of accusing them of ‘Jewish trickery’.
Lots of reasons.

1) Lisp acquired a reputation of being associated with AI, back when that was a bad thing, lots of government-funded "expert system" boondoggles and the like. It is not considered a general purpose language, despite being one.

2) Lisp is thought to have poor library support. Unlike Java or JavaScript, which have standard libraries for every task, Lisp is thought to lack this. Quicklisp helps, but it's not as comprehensive as Maven or npm.

3) Lisp is associated with a certain programmer type: highly intelligent, persnickety, only interested in solving interesting problems. Companies prefer programmers who have only a moderate amount of technical skill but who are diligent, who will take orders and get the job done without complaint.

4) Not many programmers actually know Lisp, because not many bother to learn it. If CS students are exposed to Lisp in college, they will complain about it and won't touch it again after passing required classes that use it. This means Lisp has a much smaller qualified candidate pool and it's much harder to hire Lisp programmers.

5) Software projects, especially enterprise software projects, are optimized to require lots of programmers each of whom develop one component without stepping on each other's toes. In the enterprise, not breaking existing things is more important than building new things rapidly. This is why OO languages like Java are so well loved... they help encapsulate programmers from each other as well as encapsulating units of functionality. Each programmer poses more risk in a small team where every programmer's responsibility is larger (and every programmer could theoretically rebuild the whole system themself given enough time) than in a large team where none of the programmers have a complete understanding of the system and everybody stays in their lane.

7) Larger programming teams are just more impressive. As a manager if you have 100 direct reports instead of 10, you are a bigger deal. You can command a bigger budget, which also makes you seem more important.

So the odds are pretty stacked against Lisp. It doesn't scale well to large teams, but it lets a small team get more done. The incentives in most software development reward large teams of programmers just barely smart enough to get the job done, not small surgical teams of wizardly Lisp hackers. So Lisp remains niche, perhaps rightly so.

You've got to do what you've got to do. As cool as the company is, they failed to compensate you well enough and lost you.
On the one hand, the S&P 500 has outperformed the FTSE for just about any period in the last five years.

But that’s not necessarily due to the PPP. Stimulus checks and unemployment insurance were the majority of the $2.2 billion effort. European countries were more efficient with their version of PPP (and perhaps general pandemic assistance programs) because they leveraged existing programs that touched payrolls.

From the article:

> Many countries that kept workers in jobs had programmes in place already: some of the most successful—including France, Japan and Germany—simply increased coverage and benefits at the onset of the pandemic.
This is pretty much the Wyckoff method which can be found in crypto and all other speculative markets too.
Gmail was a way, way, way better experience than Hotmail or anything else when it started (and even almost a decade later). Maps blew everyone's mind at launch too and instantly made an entire group of direction and mapping websites irrelevant. Google Earth was magical just spending hours trotting around the globe too. Reader (RIP) was by far the best RSS reader.
People freak out at the idea of cameras of some random dude constantly watching them.

This is a bit funny because they'd be watched by multiple cameras in any restaurant or supermarket. OTOH the viewpoint of the overhead monitoring cameras is very distinctive, and the resolution is usually barely enough to see a face. The Glass's camera gave more "normal" and higher-resolution footage.
I don't trust automation to dispense life-essentials like food and water for my cats. Machines fail.

It would have sufficed that the language had proper bounds checking, string and array types (that doesn't preclude pointers to everywhere on the universe), strong namespaced enumerations, required &array[0] instead of pointer decay, proper sized allocation.

All lessons from what was being done from JOVIAL, ESPOL, NEWP, PL/I various offsprings, during the 20 years that preceded C.
Wouldn’t this mean you can host a website in the browser if you run dynamic DNS to connect back to a webserver you have running in the vm on localhost?
Alternate approach: build a relationship with the 99th percentile super-recruiter that basically all the startups that know what they are doing in your area use to hire, and go to him for a job.

In NYC, this is that dude: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnkeenan/

I send all my friends to him when looking for jobs. He also doesn't lie to you and since he has a technical background, will rarely place anyone in a bad fit. He's literally sent 2nd tier candidates to other recruiters.

It's a rich get richer game and the super-connectors have way more candidates and companies to match, effectively creating their own market. I believe John makes mid 7 digits a year from placements, plus companies love him and candidates keep going back to him for their next job.

Once you have that reputation, it looks like art next to the other 99% of hustling recruiters that are trying to place poor fit candidates into the 3 roles they are "working on".
Why is spending money on the rich considered an investment whereas spending money on the poor is considered welfare? For example, it is clear that investments made in public school education has much higher returns.
Probably the same in APL, Coq, Prolog and Haskell etc. Weird but mathematically oriented languages that don’t easily get you jobs are persued by passionate programmers. It is like there are no mediocre hikers on the north pole!
Brawndo has what plants crave!

We're getting closer and closer every day.
Although I like the concept, it does not seem to be real.
This is horrible. I had to hug both my dogs after reading the Wikipedia entry. :(
They’ll also tell you pricing lower will incite a bidding war. Yet the first offer that comes in they’ll say wow it’s a good offer!
*taps forehead*
Like the stock market.
The guy runs Snow Bull Capital which must be short tesla. His tweets are non-stop anti-tesla propaganda.
this is not really true relative to what OP said. there are fcc regulations for spectral leakage and such, but that's well known and means you can't transmit outside a service area. but that just means you're in another, adjacent service area. it has more to do with the spectral efficiency going down as you move from boresight, so they don't want a capacity loss. fcc has nothing to do with this decision.
Could you go into what you mean by “Lost dominance?” Looking at CoinMarketCap, it looks like they (Tether) have the largest stablecoin market cap by 50%, and their 24h volume was an order of magnitude greater than the next closest stablecoin.
For sure. if it is in the plateau phase, it seems to me it has plateaued at a very low level. And indeed, I think the hype cycle chart is misleading, in that it suggests that all hyped technologies eventually have productivity that approaches the hype. But things like jet packs, undersea living, and flying cars all had periods of hype and never went anywhere. Or more prosaically, 3D TV was intensely hyped and then vanished like it had been covered up by the Illuminati.

I think the lack of XR adoption is especially obvious given the pandemic. Remote working? Video calls? Ubiquitous. People snapped up a ton of Switches early on, and then it's been PS5s that nobody could get enough of. But VR? I know a lot of game players from 13 on up, but I don't know anybody for whom facehugger VR is a daily driver.
For integrity, I wish Apple Maps available on web.
> Can we just call out how incredibly awesome this is? We might stumble along the way but this is as big as moving from horse carts to cars.

I find it a bit hard to believe that people aren't more concerned about calling out what exact legal framework this operation is being allowed under. Having a car without a driver in it driving around seems like a massive risk for the drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists sharing the streets of San Francisco; they should be entitled to know why they are test cases for these car-driving programs.

The most I could find was that it seems to be this permit [1], and the link in it states:

> Cruise’s permit is available at www.cpuc.ca.gov/avcissued.

...which is a 404.

It also states:

> More information on the CPUC’s Autonomous Vehicle Passenger Service Pilot Programs is
available at www.cpuc.ca.gov/avcpilotinfo.

...which is also a 404.

This does not...inspire confidence, to say the least.

Given that official information about this seems to be a bit thin on the ground, I guess I'll ask the obvious question – if the cars hit and injure someone, is Cruise's CEO going to be held personally liable? The engineers who worked on the tech? The passengers in the car (who are the nearest thing to drivers)?

It's not like this is an unexpected scenario, we have preexisting example of this happening [2]. Or is the plan to sweep real-life consequences under the carpet with euphemisms like "stumble along the way"?

Who is "Craob"?
I agree that there are cares where the market needs to be directed into the right direction because incentives are missing. Natural monopolies immediately come to mind and if course not paying for negative externalities.

Where I disagree is when we try to manipulate the market to lower prices so that poor people can afford it. Let's stop screwing with the market when not necessary and just make sure people have the needed money to get by. Ultimately that will need cheaper in total. But costs would be obvious instead of hidden ask it's politically hard to impossible.
Lol a largely government created problem coupled with government shutdown followed by a poor patchwork government solution and the lefty takeaway at HN is that we need more different government to make more government more better

You can make a page builder using it, but you're going to have to create content types for each block with many to many relationships to pages. It's not going to function like a WP page builder, but it also would allow you more control over what a client can add to a page.

Don't think there are live previews, but I might be wrong (people can create custom modules, like plugins, and I haven't checked in on it for a year or so).

One use case we made is a place where a non-tech savvy marketing manager at a chain of retail stores can enter/edit the store info & deals for each location. Then the info & deals then get updated on the stores' app, website, and on site displays from a single UI.
nope. i use konsole and i have never installed anything other so it would be bash
It was a shallow dismissal then too.
I get it. I'm definitely not an asshole; even my ex will tell you that. People seem to like me. I’ve never gotten any feedback from any manager or team member of mine saying anything about bein difficult or anything. I try to help people out when I can.

The times when I have contacted people, it's been about as well received as I'd expect a contact from a former coworker to be. It's just that nobody ever initiates. I'm not getting anything out of trying to maintain these relationships except stress, so, why bother?

And, now, someone (actually 3 someones, because I was at +3, now at 0) has gone and downvoted my original comment for whatever reason. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Has anyone gotten a reliable setup working on Graphene (or Calyx/Lineage),

including Yubikey apps, I suppose?
because they have no users yet. once the satellites are filled you're back to the status quo.
How can you tell, need to walk around the companies booths to see what construction tools they have on display.
As well as point them to a self hosted Invidious instance.
It surely is.
It's a nice tool, I will check it
This is done all the time in Elixir without fanfare, and you don’t even need to use a DSL. One just uses maps and lists that basically map one-to-one to JSON.
A great example is : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_NVUZNsh2E
The remix is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGflUbPQfW8

The original is good, but the remix is something else.
The same way you can receive/transmit a 5GHz wifi signal using devices running at a fraction of that clock rate: most of the critical high-frequency signal processing happens using analog electronics. The actual sample rate of the digitized signal is much lower.
A good example of a “California Comment” right here
Neat initiative, good luck! Your TAM analysis will probably have to exclude any enterprise software clients (i.e. anyone that has SOC2 requirements)
I did one of the basic tutorials out there and got to macros. In a terse few lines you get to a nice unit testing framework! It gave me a feel for why people live it. But yeah I just need 5 years on an elite team who would take me under their wing, but I can’t afford to pay them!
Nice tool, I've already added Rectangle, but I will check this
Can I email you? I'm a bit of a unicorn.
Thanks, I will check these, very nice tools indeed
Companies exist for the stockholders, not the employees or the public at large.
Unrelated: I read the title of this link and I knew who wrote it before even checking the website. Love Julia's writing. Always something from scratch and explained really well.
i recall a comment by someone claiming to be working in an antarctic base- everyone working outside would be wearing the same suit, but you could subconsciously recognize who you were looking at, at great distances, simply by the gait.

walk without rhythm ...
FWIW, there are mechanisms to live-patch the kernel, there were some out of tree approaches (ksplice, kGraft, kpatch) but nowadays, the kernel has native support that those (kGraft and kpatch IIRC) now can use:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/livepatch/livepatch.h...

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_live_patching

Most enterprise distros provide a service for that, as the actual work is to create the binary patch fixing the security issues at hand, as one can not always just use the upstream version, e.g., if that introduces internal ABI changes or changes locking (order) - as then you'd need to patch X sites atomically at once to ensure nothing falls apart, can be done but hard to get right.

So yes, if you're willing to put in the money or work you can have systems that run for years and still are just as secure as those that frequently reboot into new updated kernels.
US Patent system is obviously broken. They granted a patent for two-wire coin collector 1981, while Swedish LM Ericsson had such in production since 1960s. All coin telephones in Nordic countries were like that in 1970s.
You should see some Haskell I've written in production and you'll change your mind quick enough ;)
Well said! In hindsight, it is easy to forget that there was a lot of FUD at the time.

These programs were created quickly - some countries had better infrastructure to handle this than the US - but the alternative could have been an underwhelming response to an even larger problem.
It is, there is even a talk about it somewhere, it reuses code from MirageOS.
After watching your linked videos I'm actually really impressed with it.
yeah, British punk is heavily influenced by Jamaican music because of this, while similar American music doesn't have that influence at all until much later. Bad Brains being the only real exception I can think of.
no, the antenna is cheap and cannot receive from more than one at a time. nothing to do with fcc.
Oh no way.. we danced so much to that song. Thanks for teaching me that even though it makes me sad. I would totally randomly put it on to liven up a party.
Yes, interop is a much more common use case, but this just isn't the tool for that.

Rust-bindgen is. Which "just" tries to translate header files, since rustc can link to C object files just fine. And for what it's worth, I'm pretty sure most of your complaints do apply to that tool.

Can someone explain how a stablecoin is different from the fiat it's backed by, other than the name?

Like why can't/shouldn't the government claim that a USD "coin" is just another name for... USD? And therefore maintaining a balance or reserve of it is equivalent to maintaining a bank account? (edit: or maybe I should say "fiat deposit account", which may not be FDIC insured)
Isn’t that just because the U.S. has more pre existing conditions (obesity, diabetes, etc)?
Since we are speaking about the US, the numbers I provided were us specific and anything that is done would be financed via us taxes, I'm pretty confident everyone knows I'm referring to the US as a whole.

"realize that the poorest of the USA are richer than many people around the world and should pay their welfare"

Why should us taxes subsidize world welfare (not that it already doesn't)?
I was once in the passenger seat in a downpour. My father was driving to the nav, and it seemed like we were traversing Mekong underwater. It was a complete instrument driving condition, except at most a feet of road markings were visible. The car was on local roads. He made cautious turns and drove slow, because it was obviously scary. Suddenly the nav said "Ding! you have reached your destination" in what seems to be middle of a road, and we immediately started making noises at the nav.

Then a person knocked on a window through the brown wall. It was someone we were to meet at the destination. He greeted us, and told us to come out. We tried to explain we can't just walk all perhaps a quarter mile to the place in this heavy rain, leaving the car left at a roadside. He insisted it'll be a short walk, and gave us no choice. Only when we stepped out, we realized that the car is right in the middle of the premise we were looking for, just couple feet from the main door.

This memory surfaces to my mind in the context of human drivers and inclement weathers; I'm still one piece, but maybe that has more to do with my luck, not necessarily due to myself playing every games extra safe.
