Clojure is intended as a hosted language and embracing the host is the philosophy, so interop with the host is never a bandage.

Again, I am curious where you get all these impressions that are contrary to most people in the community take for granted, such as:

* Clojurians prefer libraries over framework, but you said we spent too much effort in developing "big web framework".

* Clojure is intended to be a hosted language, so seamless interop with the host is the norm, but you thought interop is a bandage until Clojure matures.

It's very interesting.

None of this is true in Japan, you might want to read up about the cost scaling that’s happened there.

The short version is, you need to have enough generations of reactor building to allow later projects to benefit from previous learnings. Because of various outside effects (this is a euphemism for the anti-nuke lobby) that type of iterative improvement and workforce skilling didn’t happen in other countries.

It’s a billion(s) dollar industry at fault for sure, but perhaps not the one the article mentions.

I don’t see college changing any time soon. I work with people that still think certain schools are “great schools” implying they produce knowledgeable graduates. Even seconds after an interview ends in flames because a graduate doesn’t know how to touch a computer.

What I'm saying is that the author of the code, and anyone else who can read and understand it, will know that, if the user does X, Y, and Z, it'll trigger a deeply nested release of an object graph that'll cause a period of non-responsiveness visible to the user.

Whether the author will consider this acceptable or not is a different question.

No problem, here's some context, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguis...
For ZGC/Shenandoah because they're new, and they're new because they're extremely hard to implement well. For C4 because it is expensive and requires kernel patches. Also there isn't a whole lot of need for them in many use cases. Web servers for example have far bigger latency problems than GC, normally. Pauseless GC was historically driven by the HFT/finance sector for that reason.

Also yes, pauseless GC tends to have higher overheads than GC that pauses for longer. Whether that matters or not depends a lot on the use cases and actual size of the overheads. For example ZGC is pauseless but not yet generational. Generational ZGC when it launches will improve throughput significantly.

Google haven't done pauseless GC for V8. I don't know why not because they have done one for Android. ART uses a fully concurrent collector iirc. At any rate, although you can't import a JVM GC to V8, you can run JavaScript on the JVM using GraalJS and use the GCs that way. Though I don't recall off hand if Graal supports ZGC yet. There's no deep reason why it couldn't.
I believe that Apple uses something similar to their "Handoff" mechanism, described in the "Apple Platform Security Guide" [1]. This uses Bluetooth Low Energy out of band paring to establish a shared key. I believe it uses the same identity keys as iMessage to establish the shared key - so you can only offer to share the WiFi password with someone you've been talking to over iMessage and you will see the name of the person you are going to share it with. Sharing the WiFi password is secure from eavesdroppers.

The Bluetooth-less mechanism for WiFi only is an absolutely terrible idea and implementation. It actively leaks the network password to anyone listening. I refuse (and return) any device that requires me to connect it to my IOT network in this way. One can usually detect if this is the setup mechanism by looking at the instructions: (1) Download an App, (2) do something to the bulb (power cycles usually) (3) Setup happens automatically! I think some network stacks don't let non-privileged apps send broadcast addresses, so perhaps the scope of this damaged mechanism is limited.

It is better if the ESP8266 is put into a low power Access Point (AP) mode and configure that way - but due to this (usually) not being an encrypted WiFi session, there is also a risk of leaking the network secret unless a way to do a secure key exchange is bootstrapped in the html form or API. Both of these are possible if Javascript is enabled or via an App API. The instructions for doing this might also include downloading an App, but it also ought to require finding and connecting to a setup AP first.

I guess the best way to kill the "leak the password" mechanism is for a better mechanism to be created and incorporated into something like Tasmota or other public IOT ESP8266 codebase so it can be copied.

I just installed ImHex, and I saw an option to attach to a GDB server. I assume that implies memory editing capabilities, but I haven't tried it yet.

They've already got their hands on ProtonVPN, Nord VPN, Opera VPN and a number (about 8-10, I think?) of others.

Their system analyzes all the traffic and tries to identify VPN packets, so I don't really see why wouldn't they block all the providers should they need to.

There are still ways to mask the traffic, but a regular user can only be bothered so much.

Yes, many businesses rely on VPN, but I can imagine that RKN might just come up with some great white-list idea.
Even as recently as the late 90s or early 2000s, I think most people would have concurred that a degree represented some amount of training and skills, earned with some amount of legitimacy, from most institutions.

If I really had no choice but to use a Mac for the majority of my work then, sure, I'd invest in better peripherals but the times I've worked with them that generally wasn't a readily available option or worth my while.

Everybody is allowed to make a mistake. What's wrong is denying that one has made a mistake and/or doubling down on it.
It’s not that people will be exactly equal but rather you can validate admission criteria by comparing graduation rates and GPA’s.

If men and women graduate at similar rates and have similar GPA’s then your admission criteria are presumably reasonably unbiased. If men have lower GPA’s and graduate at lower rates then presumably their admission criteria should be raised to account for biases you aren’t aware of.

If however you underrepresent men relative to the general population you may want to focus on attracting more of them through advertising.

From an outside perspective this might seem unfair. Why is the school spending so much money mailing to young men while requiring more extra curricular activists to be admitted? It’s a question of equal standards vs equal opportunity.
If the author deliberately chose to compile with warnings turned off, in order to present an example that would crash, then that tells us more about the author than about the point.
Ah yeah, very fair if we’re talking “Rails” as a signifier of a big project that gives a language and ecosystem is “flavor”. For what it’s worth, I imagine Go has a broader remit than Rust even today. Go is a very good update on the pain points of Python for domains where integration with existing C libraries can be a little wonky, resource consumption isn’t a major concern. Rust puts resource consumption and fitting into existing systems projects as a first class design concern, which is great for me because that’s the kind of thing I work on, but I do admit it makes for a more challenging language to use.

The Conversation[0] tries this. It aims more for 'accurate news stories written by/with academics' than 'simplified research papers' but definitely is trying to be credible yet accessible.

Sadly I've never written for them, as they've not got a huge audience and the career incentives in academia aren't really set up for this kind of accessible popularisation.

>So is BBC. And they lied about iraq having weapons of mass destruction. We didn't ban them.

do you really think that that BBC lying was a deliberate action of Great Britain government against your country? I think nobody thought that, so it wasn't banned.

In general you're mixing 2 different things - an operation of a foreign government on your territory and information content. Blocking the first is sovereign right while blocking the second is censorship and is a mark of dictatorship.

The RT operation in EU is blocked, while the content isn't - you wouldn't get punished for forwarding or retelling (on your own volition without any payment from Russian government for doing so) a content of RT propaganda contradicting official information of EU. In Russia BBC is blocked as an operation as well as its content - i.e. you'd get criminally punished for forwarding or retelling (again, even at your own will) a BBC content contradicting official [dis]information of the Russian government, i.e Russia does have censorship.
I don't think the HN mentions of Clojure is representative of what the Clojure community thinks. If you are talking about the frontpage of HN, it is even less representative.

The Clojurians slack, Clojure Reddits and Clojurverse are more representative, and you can hardly see anything about Web frameworks in those places.
Maybe that’s what it all comes down to if you can’t reference “truth”. People can pick the side that appears to be the lesser evil.
Part of the problem is that CS Lewis wrote in a deeply ambiguous way, that makes it hard to see what he is trying to say. (And since he is writing about and from a position of religiousity, that ia an extra step backwards from sense-making philosophy.) Quoting him out of context make it even worse.
There are two uranium isotopes present on earth, U-235 and U-238. U-235 is the fissile material which powers nuclear reactions in both nuclear bombs and nuclear power plants. The 5% number represents the fraction of uranium in the fuel which is U-235 instead of U-238. Anything above 20% or so is considered "highly enriched", and nuclear bombs often have fuel which is 80-90% U-235.

Nvidia Speeds Up Large Language Modeling
Node succeeded by “simply” being plain JS on V8 with a really small standard library. Easy! No nonsense! Everyone knows this already!

Unfortunately that left everything else up to the community to solve: establishing a “good” standard library, building, debugging, packaging, bundling, dealing with the Node/Browser duality in a meaningful way, creating usable network frameworks, UI frameworks and surely much more.

And they’ve all ended up reinventing that 100 times (like the curse of lisp) in 200 different ways, all recursively based on Node, while standing on the shoulder of non-giants trying to solve one of the other problems mentioned above, possibly standing on the shoulder of someone else who has already tried to solve what you are trying to solve now.

Calling it a clusterfuck probably isn’t sufficient, yet at the same time it seems to work, so it’s simultaneously a sort of modern day miracle.

Disclaimer: have set up quite a few node build-pipelines.

As if said impacts are not shared by plant agriculture? Where do you think your vegetables come from? They need vast amount of space to grow, they need to kill animals that would otherwise inhabit the space, they need to spray large quantities of pesticide from above, fertilizer is necessary and fossil fuels are burned in that process, and fossil fuels need to transport the crops.

> 2.1 million hectares (5.2 million acres) of tropical forest is destroyed every year to make way for beef herds [1]. That’s 41% of all tropical deforestation (which is where 95% of the deforestation occurs).

What are the economic incentives to destroy tropical forest? Meat is by no means the only thing that land can be used for, first of all, but there is no requirement that cows be raised on land that was previously tropical forest. Go check out the Great Plains where most of the United States' cows are raised, because you won't find a tropical forest, deforested or not, for thousands of miles. And yet, somehow, meat continues to be produced.

No, I don't want forests to be destroyed, but it's a separate issue. Forests have been destroyed for countless reasons that have nothing to do with meat. Deforestation sucks, but that really isn't a the best reason to conclude that there's a problem with eating meat when deforestation isn't an issue. That is unless you have a problem with the non-forested land that cattle farms occupy, and most people don't because tropical forests are more interesting.

As I have mentioned elsewhere in this thread, if we clean up where we get our energy, these arguments mostly disappear because, regardless of the end product, fossil fuels are currently still being burned. Doesn't matter if you're eating beef or soy.
I should have been more explicit: I meant modern cars that don't have this "feature".

It works because of the "inherent compliance of the legs as well as hairlike microstructures on the legs that work kind of like a directional adhesive". It would be hard to manufacture a tiny pressurized system with valves and those hairlike microstructures. Spiders are self-assembling and made out of cheap materials. Anything with piloted corpses does seem a little fucked up. I'm creeped out imagining accidents storing live spiders or weird research advancements on engineered spiders.
> The GP comment was talking about the kind of people who don't even own stocks and probably can't afford to buy even a single share, because it would eat into their budget much more than a $2-5 lottery ticket.

People who buy a $5 lottery ticket every day could absolutely afford to buy stocks if they'd stop doing that.

> Also, lottery ticket EV isn't -100%, it's anywhere between -50% and -80%.

Even assuming your optimistic number, it's idiotic to "invest" anything into something with an expected return of -50%.
> that lines the pockets of university staff

This is of course only the administrative/management levels. The staff doing the actual teaching and grading are lumped with all the work “as part of the job”, and also the money doesn’t see the post-grad or research sides of the university.
This would be better if I knew what I was trying to do

Since it keeps coming up, I'd like to clarify that I'm not advocating for a port of Rails or some kind of analog. I should have chosen a better post title.

I have never used Rails.

I'm arguing Clojure has missing or rotting libraries, requiring us to re-implement logic we've all done at least once because people are fixated building web frameworks, and I think it's motivated by people trying to build the Rails for Clojure. I really can't think of any other reason for people to build so many web frameworks at this point.

The Rails for Clojure is an idea, one the community rallies around, one where people won't reinvent the wheel over and over again, so that we can have a lot more non-web packages for Clojure.

I'm quite literally saying, the effort could be better spent elsewhere.

I don't see it as a debate about "best" or even really "most innovative", just about individuals (or pairs in the case of Lennon/McCartney) that achieved a level of greatness (in terms of what contributions they've made to human knowledge/creativity) that logically you might expect to see a lot more of today given the vastly greater number of humans in existence now.

I am okay with that. I don't gain anything by another person's suffering. It would make me feel worse, not better, and it would make the world a worse place because prison generally makes people worse. It would also expose other prisoners to a predator they can't avoid as easily as someone on the outside can. It would be a lose-lose for everyone.

It was certainly mine and learn a lot I did. I took ethics very strongly as did my university. My friend had to re-do a class final project because some of his team members cheated, even though he didn't himself. His team members were expelled from the university.
>>Perhaps we've gone too far with jail times in the USA

Perhaps? I dont think that is even debatable at this point. I would encourage you to research actual treatment of prisoners in the US, we in the US are critical of nations like Russia, and China while willfully ignoring the abuse that occurs every day in US prisons.

>Anyone who has ever trained a dog or other animal

This right here is the exact reason for this abuse, it is common for the US prison system, and the correctional officers to dehumanize the prisoners and treat them like animals, not cuddly pets or dogs, but like the worst animal abuse stories you here from the traveling carnivals that used to keep Elephants and Loins for show.....

We need MASSIVE reform of both the criminal system, and prison system. I am not talking about being "weak" on crime like seems to be the norm today, refusing to prosecute crimes, and letting people out immediately but "tough on crime" does not have to involve the dehumanizing treatment, and outright abuse that occurs that leads to nothing productive, no rehabilitation, and more often than not non-violent criminals go in non-violent but come out extremely violent.

There is NOTHING redeeming about the US Prison system

Ask HN: Burnt out Product Manager, should I try to get back into coding?
Hi HN, longtime user here.

After PMing for 3 companies now over 5 years, I think I am approaching burnout.

I'm tired of user interviews, of constantly having to say no, of the politicking, of never getting firm answers from engineering, of the general chaos of it all. I'm faking my way through the day, pretending to care when I don't. I used to love technology, but my passion is gone.

I'm a woman and LGBT, fwiw, and it can be a lonely and tiring experience when men seem to be coasting along much easier in most settings. All my coworkers are straight and married with families and I feel like the lone weirdo. We were also recently acquired by a company whose leadership is entirely older white straight men, not that it was much different pre-acquisition.

I deeply miss the feeling of actually making something. Creating something of value. Not shepherding around the people who are creating things. I have good people skills, which has landed me more in management/leadership positions. But really what I crave is long periods of working without meetings to worry about. Of deeply engaging with something and problem solving. As a PM I barely scratch the surface of anything.

I've also developed deep anxiety around time management and meetings. I feel I can never relax for fear of missing the next meeting.

I am seeing an excellent therapist who is helping me cope. But I don't want to just cope. I've lost my love for technology, my drive to do more than the bare minimum (which is anathema to my personality up until about 7 months ago).

My interest in code and now expertise in product management leads me to think I could make a good software engineer, provided I put in more training. With my "product sense" I think I'd be pretty desirable to employers.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
