The Lisp version looks similar to the Python code, plus parentheses. As a Lisp user I would read the Lisp code just like the Python code, by largely ignoring the parentheses, looking at the indentation and blocks of code. As a Lisp user working with code manipulation I then profit from that Lisp can be pretty printed by a tool, since the indentation is not The dangling parentheses then don't add any value. Actually they waste space and are getting in the way when typing to a read-eval-print-loop (REPL).

I haven't seen anyone typing to a REPL dangling parentheses.

Well isn't that because most IBM customers don't actually pay upfront for their mainframes, but instead effectively lease them? Car companies DO charge you per mile to drive a leased car beyond the standard allotment.

I think your comparing apples to oranges here.
You definitely have a two party system. Countries with many parties also have factions like you describe within all their parties, so there's far more diversity than you see.
The Anti-Vaccine Movement’s New Frontier
In media query section, a gif that shows text block going down, you can see that at mobile scales the spacing between social icons jumps suddenly for seemingly no reason. Was that intended?

In a gif between “It’s probably best to show you” and “Voila”, social icons don’t stick to the image, dangling at the bottom instead. How to make them stick?

Asking it because most commenters here seem to praise the grid, but ignore these little facts. Interesting if these are by design or by overlook and how to fix that.
AI for Software Developers: A Future or a New Reality?
No, when I use the word "spam" I do not mean "posts I disagree with", I was referring to posts that are deliberately intended to misinform, are repetitive, or are intended to lure people somewhere else, and are posted by people who are paid to do that or by bots. It is false to assume that these type of posts and associated accounts cannot be detected or do not exist.

I agree that spam by bots differs from spam by humans. However, they need to be dealt with in union because they usually go hand in hand, i.e., bot nets often support and amplify select human posts and the human origins of these networks can be mapped and traced back to particular actors and sources.

I doubt anybody would disagree with your general claim that there can be methodological problems with detecting any kind of spam, whether by bots or by humans. Of course, that's difficult, especially for researchers with only limited or no access to sensitive account information such as creation date, post history, IP numbers. If it was easy, then the spam problem would have been solved already, but I have argued that Google hasn't solved it.
reddit, twitter, and various places were people are talking about that problem. (with notifiers)
Wouldn’t it involve mostly different groups of people?

IPv6 is now supported in the vast majority of operating systems and routers and firewalls. It’s now down to the carriers/ISPs to configure their networks to use it.

Ie the IPv4 issue is a programming issue, while the IPv6 issue is an administration/configuration issue.

Ie Ciscos software engineers aren’t the ones holding back your ISP from turning on IPv6. Cisco engineers aren’t toiling away adding much needed missing IPv6 features.

Unless I’ve missed something?

One possible implementation of empathy in a game is cooperation ->

It can be deep, complex, simple, fun, easy to play hard to master, whichever kind of cooperation -> leading to more synergy, dare I say symbiosis between the players!

Ok, random idea that just popped in my brain:
You could have a cooperative game where the goal is to handle nutrients, etc. in order to cooperatively build a baby inside's a female womb.
Basically, it would be about achieving "life" by cooperating: repelling microbes, driving whatever fluids/vitamins/hormones are needed to the right places, etc. etc.
Yes. As a founder, I'll have to witness it first to make sure that I get responsibility for what happened. It's not that I don't trust them. I just don't want to blame people in my workplace. My peers from Founders Cafe helped me create a strategy for this. https://founderscafe.io/
Can you cite what this super cheap storage is? My understanding is that li-on is the only existing option, however won't work at scale due to cost, longevity, etc.
> English, on the other hand, has no diacritics, and therefore the Latin alphabet seems like a perfect fit.

English as commonly written using the Latin alphabet is objectively an awful fit, because one cannot tell how a word is pronounced from how it is written. One has to memorize the proper pronunciation of hundreds (if not thousands) of words beforehand in order to correctly read a text aloud.

Almost all languages have a few words like that (usually at least some loanwords), but English is quite extreme compared to languages like German, where pronunciation can be trivially inferred from spelling in almost all cases.

So even if written English doesn't have diacritics, it certainly could use some to give readers more information on how something is supposed to be pronounced.

I guess "play games instead of reading books" idea attracts audience with low motivation?
Because the generate electricity => use it to create Hydrogen => fill your car => Hydrogen fuel cell creates electricity => electricity used in electric motor chain is massively less efficient than the generate electricity => charge your battery => electricity used in electric motor chain.
Governments might make it illegal to run these "dangerous" unsupervised OSes though. Or what could happen is that your bank, government website etc fails to work "for your protection" because your machine fails attestation. This is something that's already being done on Android with SafetyNet, albeit with apps instead of websites.

In addition the EU is also working on an online ID so a website can request your real identity and verify it. This would link in with that, validate the user as well as their hardware.

Right now? No. But I could see it happen in 10 years. Especially once CSAM is no longer the scapegoat and they have admitted they want the data for a lot more surveillance. I can already see the posts of people that think they have nothing to hide.

I didn't know that, and am glad that they do transcode on the fly when appropriate. Very impressive that it's seamless to the end user, I've never sat waiting for a YouTube clip to play even when it's definitely something from the 'back catalog' like a decade old video with a dozen views.
> here they said "oh we have these unresolvable problems..."

Sorry, who said they were unresolvable?
I don't particularly care whether it's first person or some other perspective. Whether it's a shooter (or some other form of combat) isn't really relevant to my point either.

Open world yes - that's totally an ingredient that goes in there.

Storylines rather not. The thing is that storylines are pre-written, canned content that's just identical for every player that consumes it. In order to fit my bill, the "plot" of the game would actually have to be defined by what players are doing (and the game simulation reacting to that) - it would have to emerge dynamically. Saga of Ryzom originally tried to go a little bit along those lines, but due to the technological constraints of the day, the game world would have to evolve through updates/patches mostly.
http://neverssl.com remains for those badly-setup wifi networks.
The article doesn't contain any JS. JS is mentioned because it's a possible solution to generating responsive layouts without hand writing any CSS. The whole purpose of the article is to explore generating responsive style from a user designed layout without manually writing the CSS code. It's an unsolved problem domain.
There is limited time to debate bills in Parliament and MPs have limited time to ponder them.

My cynical speculation is that relevant interest groups think that this is a good time to push through legislation that will allow something that the public is overwhelmingly opposed to because they can hide behind the cost of living crisis/ War in Ukraine and claim that this would help the country's food independence and food prices.
Now I'm curious, where do people live where it's more common to write software for any type of weapons compared to software for anything not weapons?
Bonus question: what do you do if data needs to stay in the creating user's region by default, but users can share data across regions, including creating new data associated with a record from another region?

For example, American and EU users sharing documents and requesting comments be added. How do you manage both isolation and sharing? Do you copy such documents to both regions? Do comments live in the same region as the document, or in the region of the creating user? Do you just give up on foreign key integrity for documents, comments, and users because they could be in separate databases? If your American servers can request data out of the European region on demand (subject to business logic), are you really protecting data to the standard the law demands?
I used to work tech support for an ISP years ago.... Trying to get people to find their modem and see if it was plugged into the wall was effort.

Imagine trying to get the same people to upgrade router firmware...... no chance
The kernel maintains a table of which handle values each process owns and uses that to check the capabilities of the calling process when handling a syscall. Sending a capability in a message updates this table as the ownership changes.

We use (somewhat) large and non-dense numerical values for handle values to reduce the risk of accidental reuse of values.
My folks from Founders Cafe https://founderscafe.io/ told me to create a flowchart of what to do in case that I am not here and there's a problem in the workplace. I'll give them to my employees and I make sure that the chart is clear, so no misinterpretation will take place.

This. We'd talk about Chicago voters instead of Nebraska voters. There are pros and cons either way, but we won't have consensus to change (a supermajority is required) any time soon.

Note that more polarization is possible if the purpose and power of the states lessens. Even deep blue and deep red states have regions with different perspectives.
New research highlights job growth of small businesses on the App Store
I think that kind of stance is partly intentional on IBM's part. Right now it's practically impossible to develop viruses/ransomware/etc. for any mainframe product, so mainframe owners get security equivalent to commodity air gapped servers, even when it's connected to the internet.
Though behind firewalls of course.

Allowing hobbyists real software/firmware access will inevitably incentivize the creation of attacks since so much valuable financial data flows over mainframes, which everyone knows about.
We already have ranked choice voting in SF/Oakland, and I think it's slowly expanding in the region.

Works pretty well, but I can't say I've noticed any increased sanity in local politics :)

The electoral college is among the hardest things to change, since it's on the federal level and in the constitution.
Those kind of people usually do not click on ads, have ads disabled and/or use ad blockers.

But because they are tech savvy, they the the ones friends and family ask what browser/search engine to use, so you end up with 20 more less tech savvy people on the platform, and they are probably the ones that end up clicking on ads (because, again, DDG is making a ton of money with that)

Exact same feeling here, everything old is new again when a generation has grown up without experiencing it.
Like the green hydroelectric power is killing all the fish and destroying the rivers? Still happens almost everywhere. Priorities.
This, as the whole parent premise is fundamentally flawed.

What you propose can only work under specific circumstances, which, even when those circumstances existed, could not thwart the corruption of the system.
Exactly. A handful of actual abusers will be caught and the rest will change their methods. The rest of us will have a system looking over our shoulder for the rest of our lives with an ever-expanding scope of uses. Not exactly a great trade-off.
I actually had this one on my ebay watch list.

In terms of modern usage, this is far more practical than original hardware from the era, as you have new components, no mechanical storage, and USB support.

That said, I think there can be an uncanny-valley sort of thing with this kind of hardware: the lack of some of the physical ritual can make the hardware limitations all the more notable, with less of a nostalgic payoff.
> Seems like a poor safety feature to have it also turn on when you're cleaning.

Right, that's bad design.

The cooktop I'm familiar with always turns off and beeps if something (metal pots or a liquid) covers a part of the button area.

To turn it on, you have to press two different buttons within a certain time limit, with a pot standing on the appropriate cooking zone. Most cats probably won't manage to do that.

> The only dumber idea I can think of is a touch screen

Oh, don't get me started. We own an oven with a touch screen. It's pure idiocy. But the cooktop is actually very good IMO.
I don’t really agree that the problem with politics is that the system is broken. The US has done some incredible things in the last few hundred years within the bounds of our political system, which, to be honest is much older and more proven than the systems of government in Germany and most European counties Post-WWII.

The problem is that we don’t have our best people running for office, we have our worst, because of institutions like the Media and Academia, which have been taken over by a vocal, loud minority and have been weaponized to push politics.
I believe there's a mixture of things that people actually really care about, things people care about but have been polarised/amplified, and things they never cared about but now think they do because it became the issue they "should" care about. I'd call the last one manufactured, because people who never cared about the issue don't have a deep understanding of it and only got exposed to some absurd interpretation of it.
I read the post with a Christopher Lee villain voice which made it entertaining.
I used to always have some kitchen rags around for exactly that type of situation, in fact I still have one that I've purchased from Ikea. I just wrap my hand/fingers with said rag and manipulate that button accordingly (or get a hot dish from the stove itself etc).
This is from the link I provided: “The BSD portion of the OS X kernel is derived primarily from FreeBSD, a version of 4.4BSD that offers advanced networking, performance, security, and compatibility features.

Which 'useful tools' is going to be pretty personal, not universal, which is why I acknowledged that an intentionally limited device is probably some kind of aesthetic.

It's hilariously tedious to argue that WhatsApp is obviously required and then some other social communication tool is obviously a waste of time.
I'm still sad nanokernels or nanokernel-like never took off.

You're ignoring that it's already easier to campaign in higher density areas. Each urban voter is already easier to reach (knock on doors, have BBQs, bus to polls, etc.).
Arma 3 is one possible implementation of this.
BUT, it requires to download and install mods, find (a lot) of people to play with.

The way it's made requires a lot of dedication -> gathering everyone, organisation to communicate can be tricky particularly if you want realistic kind of comms: teamspeak is still required (I don't think there's a realistic mod for Arma 3 compatible with Discord).

Nevertheless, Arma 3 has everything you need:

Big maps (open world)

An actual map (I am talking about the paper/GPS thing) -> with actual elevation information on it, etc.

Complex strategies and tactics possibilities

Communications

Vehicles: helicopters, tanks, cars, trucks, planes, boats, etc. etc.

A very WIDE set of weapons of all kinds: turrets, firearms, launchers, mortars, etc. etc.

All this adds up to the need of coordination, planning, preparing strategies, primary objectives, secondary objectives, backup plans, backup plans for your backup plans, etc.
"Encryption" is quite new, politically. Hasn't been an issue before recently.

"Gun Control" as an issue has been around fro a long, long time. "Save the children" has been run into it before, multiple times, and failed repeatedly.

Did Ukraine need gun control before the invasion? How about now?

The UK did gun control so well they've moved onto "Knife control" and restricting the sale of caustic liquids.
> You're not even counting the second preference of that 10% who voted Schlesinger which is enough on its own to put the race on a knife edge with a decent voting system.

Who do you think was their second preference? Lieberman was a "centrist" Democrat who gave a speech at the 2008 Republican National Convention endorsing McCain over Obama. Lamont criticized Lieberman for being too supportive of Republican policies.

It benefits rural voters.

If Democrats stopped being the party of city people, they could compete for that vote.
In general this seems like a good move.

Volkswagen and Toyota are always vying for world's top automotive manufacturer (by vehicles sold). Toyota bet heavily on hydrogen and really wants the world to go that way, they're only reluctantly giving in to electric vehicles and that's been very recent. So they're not prepared to take over by 2025. The U.S. automakers are largely only dominant in the U.S. and the U.S. market is very decidedly meh on electric vehicles.

That leaves Volkswagen. A brand Europeans trust and the European market is much more accepting of electric vehicles. I can totally see Volkswagen dominating the electric vehicle market. 2025 seems a little aggressive, but we don't know Volkswagen's plans, either.

I started my business in 2007...a great first year and then a global economic recession like none other. We got through that one, we'll get through this one.

Media will have you believe that everything has gone to shit in a recession. Don't read the papers and stop looking at the stock market. They're only two viewpoints - there are businesses and individuals who do VERY well in a recession. It's not all doom and gloom.
What problems do you have when talking with your users?
Hello everyone. I've recently made a post about challenges of talking to users and decided to make another post. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31178577

I think it's interesting topic and I want to learn more about it.

So, I've made lists of problems that I've found for now:

- Getting users to do 1-on-1 interviews more frequently
- Parse & group users requests by topics (by features, by bugs)
- Targeting subset of users: users who are willing to pay, users who stopped using a product, users who like product but won't be paying.
- Instantly reaching out to users

Do you know some other problems ?
