Hi Walter!

Was compiling into C a consideration? Seems like this side steps some of the compatibility issues (not to mention getting a lot of optimization "for free"), albeit while inheriting any compilation and ABI limitations.

Thanks!
P.s.
We met at GoingNative2013 - you were very kind with my many questions back then as well!
I remember a very famous VC (who is still amazingly rich and famous) claiming the Magic Leap was a "bigger leap in tech than the iPhone."

Surprised nothing happened to him.
Xprivacy basically did this. I supported the developer by buying the "pro" version and he promptly stopped maintaining it...and started a new project that was substantially more complicated/difficult to use, requiring writing blocking rules by hand...or paying him for the "pro" service that included 'recipes' for blocks.

Which users of the old app didn't get.

Fuck you, Marcel Bokhorst.
Discord is also a keylogger.

Edit: it literally asks for key logging permission on Mac OS.
I started a project in 2021 using CL. I'm solo, but I think if your team adhered to a style guide that (among other things) enforces use of Quicklisp or similar for managing dependencies, and puts strict^H^H^H^H^H^H draconian limits on when macros are acceptable, it would be no worse than many other languages.
Er. Not with that explanation. The cache won't be hit until a result is found, instead each request produces another request back to through the cycle to try to get that request. Hence DoS.
I never had any problems.
They didn't build a significantly commercially successful product since gmail. Android was an acquisition.

They are in panic mode since they realize growth will be over. Search has stagnated, they missed on social (repeatedly) and they have nowhere to improve. Ventures like the self driving car etc. were all an expensive detour.

Google is the new Microsoft (or worse, Oracle). It's just a matter of time until the rest of the world figures this out.

We use WordPress with the Gutenberg editor and Gatsby Cloud. It’s been very nice to work with and the Gatsby Cloud team seems to pay a lot of attention to the editorial and deploy experience. We’re happy and this is how we’re building things today.
Disagree strongly. Recruiters are like real estate agents - the barrier to entry is low and there are a lot of folks who do a crap job.

I work with a couple recruiters who: 1) actually respond to emails, 2) actually look at my CV to see if a role is a good match, 3) have some long term commitment to clients.

When I get an email about a role that matches well from a job I had a decade ago, straight to spam folder.
And now we’re already making concessions about the car’s abilities.

There are 10 MPH speed limit signs on Market Street in SF that specify in incredibly small text “when behind trolleys”. Assuming we take your approach, the car will just always go down market at 10 MPH.

Imagine if it’s a negative turn restriction - IE, it’s permitting turns except for during certain hours and conditions. Now the car is treating it as always permitted and turning into traffic. An edge case, but something it’s going to encounter in the real world.
It's a nice idea, but in my experience very few people want to do that, even with a tool to help. What they do want is to be able to seamlessly interact with their existing code base the way it is.

Examples: C and C++, Java and Kotlin. The latter advertises: "Write concise and expressive code while maintaining full compatibility and interoperability with Java" and has been very successful with that.

Simple answer. Software companies have HR departments.

Edit: ah, yeah, as reustle says, banks have made multiple appearances. Far less than fast food though.

Honestly they're a usually reasonable landmark choice, they tend to be at corners and are intentionally eye-catching and recognizable. But I hate it. And I'm pretty sure that's just being used as justification for why the "feature" as a whole is acceptable (it's not).
I want to explore the idea of P2P/Web3 Uber/Doordash clone where the site and operations cost is decentralized and everyone benefits from the platform while taking very low percentage profits.

My business partner and I hit a wall when we tried to automate WordPress.

We tried to implement a plugin where Events in WordPress would be triggered, evaluate Conditions and then execute Actions (Send email, Trigger Webhook at Zapier, Update fields over the triggered record, etc.)

Turns out, WordPress is not architecturally ready for this much evolution. And that's when we got disenchanted from WordPress and went to hunt on anything else.
Clojure has many pleasant properties, but it’s painfully immature to a seasoned Lisp developer. That said, if I really wanted to use the JVM for business reasons, Clojure would be high on the list. Even so my gut instinct is ABCL.

Edit: response to child:
The most obvious thing is a lack of TCO. But there are plenty of other things like the limitations of a JVM based object system compared to the MOP. And then there’s the Lisp Machine heritage that shows through in forms like EVAl-WHEN. There’s the condition/restart system too. That’s just a few things off the top of my head. But in no way am I denigrating Clojure. It’s a good Lisp that meets important needs and I’d happily use it anytime it’s right tool.
I feel strongly that this is underrated.

Basically all compilers should be multi-lingual. Especially, rustc given its abilities with the borrow checker. Ideally (within reason for maintenance reasons), even parsers as “plugins”. Still building the same HIR (or AST if applicable) within rustc, but with different parsers.

I’d love to see lot of experiments with Rust syntax in the vein of how CoffeeScript inspired the future of JavaScript.

But still getting all the benefits of incremental compilation, cargo, etc.
I've had some issues lately, but after a reboot it seems to work again.

Unless maybe if you need the car navigation, google maps seems to work well as a progressive web app (and since it's sandboxed by the browser, it can only use the actual GPS).

On the last days I'm actually more pissed-off with the update of Google translate than Google maps.
>The cited reason for buying the bank debt instead of the home owner debt was "moral hazard"

The moral hazard was the smallest of the problems. The complexity of how to do so seems like the much bigger issue. What does "buying homeowner debt" even mean when much of that debt has been securitized?

Cruise publishes a lot of their AVs driving around SF for over an hour. In a video from their YouTube channel [1], at around 22:29, you can see exactly how they handle a steep 4-way intersection. You can also see on the above visualization what objects their system sees as it is performing the maneuver.

The evidence is easily accessible - next time I suggest you just research a little bit first instead of going straight to speculating.

I had fun with people on forums trying to get others to download keyloggers and the like. A lot of these were the stereotypical "script kiddies" who didn't know how much personal data they were giving away or even how the tools they used worked. I distinctly remember a few "C:\Documents and Settings\<uncommon first and last name>\...", from which I could find and sometimes phone them (often their parents would answer), but I drew the line at doing anything physical --- they were all far away anyway.

The most interesting results include apologies; one kid's father registered on the forum to post one for his son. Spamming a keylogger's logs with the physical address of its owner and "I know where you live" tends to cause them to repent in fear pretty quickly.
> The human accident rate is about one per 500K miles, so if they were able to get in that range, then yes, they would have succeeded; drivers would be able to stop paying attention to the road without putting themselves and others in danger.

Unfortunately, I expect that automation will be held to a higher standard than human drivers, rather than the same standard. When an accident happens, people want to know who to blame, and an unimpaired human driver gets somewhat more latitude for a genuine accident, while a piece of software is always going to be perceived to be at fault (which it may well be, even in a situation where a human wouldn't be considered to be). And conversely, people (somewhat validly) want to have more control: every driver thinks they're above average, and the software won't be as good as their accident rate, and if something happened at least they were in control when it happened.

I don't necessarily even think those are incorrect perspectives; we should hold software to a high standard, and not accept "just" being as good as human drivers when it could be much better. But at the same time, when software does become more reliable than human drivers, we should start switching over to make people safer, even while we continue making it better.

(Personally, I wish we had enough widespread coordination to just build underground automated-vehicles-only roads.)

This is what I’m here for! Awesome work, super cool to see and read how you did it.
I was looking to buy new headphones and know from experience that I wanted bluetooth, and wired mode with a wired mic. I was surprised to not find a single headphone with all 3 of these features. Apple, Bose and Sony ANC headphones do not have a mic that works in wired mode.

I ended up getting HyperX Cloud Mix (gave up on ANC). It has a built-in mic and a nice detachable boom mic. Both mics work in wired and bluetooth mode. I'll hang on to these until bluetooth v11 or whatever actually upgrades the one feature everyone needs: good audio quality in both directions without quirks.

On a side note, Windows 11 has recently added AAC support (used by Apple) and now makes only one bluetooth device for headphones (used to make multiple confusing profiles). So it is getting better.

Much like the sibling comment I have heard variations of this proposition before. But instead of wondering why don’t more groups take this approach, I want to know what make it possible in the first place. So, in your experience, or even just via some passes down stories, etc., what is it about Lisp that allows for this efficiency?

I have heard, although it is always just a quick statement with no explanation that it is the macros. And then one of siblings children comments seems to support the idea that Lisp programmers as a whole may be more experienced/better/more well rounded developers in general, so maybe that’s it. I am genuinely interested in peoples thoughts on this matter and am not being flippant or sarcastic.
Because such simple one-factor sentiments, even if they are true, are not how people evaluate using one thing over another. At best they might consider it in a multi-factor analysis. But with this particular sentiment it still probably won't be considered much because it's too hard to evaluate the truthiness of such a general claim -- I suspect it's more true in some cases but not so true in others. You'd be more interested in considering the specifics of language+ecosystem (not language alone) and how they relate to your problem domain.
I don't know any in particular, but a few tips here.

I would say rule 1 is to not use strings unless needed :-)

My rule 2 would be to not use a library because that would probably add too much complexity (especially with regards to integrating memory allocation).

There are different valid ways to represent strings, but a basic approach is of course to use arrays of bytes, i.e. pointer + length (struct String { char buffer; int length; }). An important consideration is the choice of allocation scheme for the byte buffer. I'd recommend to use statically allocated strings (like char buffer[32];*) where possible, and to look into memory arenas. Don't make "resizable" strings unless absolutely needed (with resizeable strings you might run into dangling reference problems more easily, and you will probably need a "capacity" field in addition to pointer + length). Most dynamically-sized use cases do not need resizing; you can conveniently cover them with a separate string builder (which can be implemented using a large statically allocated storage or using a resized-as-needed storage. Once the string is assembled, the string builder can create the final immutable string by allocating for example from a memory arena.

There will definitely eventually be cheaper options. But not for a while and likely not in America. The satellites are unused over Africa etc, and they can't pay $100 per month. But until the manufacturing cost of the dishes comes down, a cheaper option is unlikely.
IMVU?
Your work’s VPN might have a strict policy against split tunnel VPN clients. Or they might have narrowly defined lists of IP blocks they split for bandwidth purposes (e.g. Microsoft’s O365 blocks to reduce teams bandwidth). If you think about it a split VPN tunnel with a default route to the internet effectively makes your client a bridge between your internal corporate network and the rest of the world. A bridge that browses the web and installs downloaded binaries.

Just something to look into since it could get you spanked by your net or sec team if your company has those.
I have no opinion on your reply, I was discussing technical feasibility in response to someone claiming it was infeasible. The normative claims aren't germane or particularly interesting to me.
I don't think this question is even meaningfully-defined. There is no "the" point of comparison. The relevant point of comparison is whatever ride it's displacing.

The rideshare explosion has already had a measurable effect on drunk-driving deaths; to the extent that a theoretical lower-cost AV will make rideshare even more accessible, then its effect on drunk-driving reduction absolutely makes non-sober drivers a relevant comparison.

For an average young person who'd get in the car with one of their friends, or drives a bit recklessly themselves[1], an AV at sober-human-driver level would be valuable.

For a guy who needs his kids driven around, a "sober cautious human driver" level of safety may feel right.

For questions like "what should the regulatory bar for launch be", all human drivers seems like an easy answer.

It doesn't have to be open source to be successful.

I understand that open source things can increase reach of the product, but that's at the expense of proper software support.

Let's accept some proprietary software in our lives. Sometimes these have demostrated technical superiority.
It is a technological problem too. Telegram has a much better UI/UX than Signal, and not having end-to-end encryption by default is part of the reason.
As ghastly as the whole story is, it's the unexpected failure mode that seals it as a metaphor:

Another serious training mistake was revealed later; the Soviets used their own diesel engine tanks to train the dogs rather than German tanks which had gasoline engines. As the dogs relied on their acute sense of smell, the dogs sought out familiar Soviet tanks instead of strange-smelling German tanks.

> If there's no Elon, there's no SpaceX.

Why not?

What mystical gift does this one person have that 7 billion other people don't, that permits him and only him to run the company? This is a really unpopular opinion on a web site that exalts founders, but I don't think it really takes much special skill to run a company. Most (but admittedly not all) CEOs are in their position not because of their know-how, but because 1. They founded the company, and happened to be the one that flipped a coin heads 20 times in a row; or 2. They were born into that Ivy League class that closely gatekeeps CxO and SVP positions for themselves; or 3. Were descendants of one of the above.

Assuming a successful CEO is uniquely skilled is like assuming a lottery winner is uniquely skilled at winning the lottery.

I think many people, if given Elon’s financial war chest and basic knowledge of and an interest in rocketry, could have made SpaceX.
>What you conspicuously won't find in miekg/dns: a recursive lookup routine.

Sure, but it implements the building blocks that you need to create one. Those building blocks are going to be where a good chunk of code is going to be. (Yes, there is a lot of code from that library that will be unused)
You mean now we know they’ve committed multi-year multi-billion dollar fraud against their users?

In terms of an IoT device or phone sensor form factor, not yet, but in the future I expect it will be possible.

Airport body scanners use millimeter wave radar, and they use software to mask the image so it isn't personally identifiable. There are even passive versions that just use background radio waves in a compact form factor:

The point is the tactic of giving the first number, though successful in ending many unappealing recruitment attempts, also has the unintended side effect of making it impossible that you'll ever get an offer SIGNIFICANTLY ABOVE your target range. Because comp boosts in the 50-100% range are possible, and you actually want to see those, you should let the recruiting org offer the first number.

With machine learning improvements, identification and more are possible. From a 2021 paper on IEEE 802.11bf Wi-Fi Sensing, https://arxiv.org/pdf/2103.14918.pdf

> Indeed, it has been shown that SENS-based classifiers can infer privacy-critical information such as keyboard typing, gesture recognition and activity tracking ... since Wi- Fi signals can penetrate hard objects and can be used without the presence of light, end-users may not even realize they are being tracked .. individuals should be provided the opportunity to opt out of SENS services – to avoid being monitored and tracked by the Wi-Fi devices around them. This would require the widespread introduction of reliable SENS algorithm for human or animal identification.

And now your moving the goalposts. We are talking extreme edge cases in some random small town not common signs in a major city. They can always get updates on what some random sign in some random location means as long as their safe and don’t block traffic that’s all that’s needed.

Also, negative restrictions can again default to full restrictions. Permitting a car to say park in a snow lane doesn’t require a car to park in the snow lane.
