I never really understood why lisps are so hyped by a few people - homoiconicity is elegant and maybe even beautiful from an art point of view, but I fail to see how it is putting the language above others: plenty of languages have sane metaprogramming abilities, macros, etc. Even if the macro is not that well-looking as being the same language, the rare case you need one is not that big of a hindrance at all. Macros are a last resort, if you need them for everything that’s a language problem.

There is nothing wrong in identifying with a caste, or practising customs related to the caste.

It is thinking only my caste is good or having prejudiced ideas that is wrong.

Caste identity is essential to maintain tribal relations and networks (every part of the world has this and practices this), but feelings of caste superiority are to be eradicated.

I feel pity for your son because instead of giving him a choice and making him understand what is good and bad, you are preventing him from hearing about it at all, which, in my view, is even worse and will be a shock to him when he encounters situations he cannot handle because of your ignorance.

You may keep him away from caste, but the society will not.
Churn makes for more efficient companies and stronger employees. When you have 20 year veterans who stayed in a single place for 20 years, you have no exposure as a company to new practices developed in other companies. You have no exposure to what performance level your employees could be achieving. And as an employee, your own skills are not well developed by being stuck at a single place for 20 years.

Churn makes salaries adapt more quickly to market conditions too. That's an advantage when the Fed is dumping capital into the market with QE.

The disadvantage is yeah, there's chaos sometimes and loyalty doesn't exist. But you need some exploration AND exploitation too, else you get stuck at a local minima.
I've been approached a couple of times about working in the tobacco industry and money is definitely part of it, but there's also a feeling that there's less competition so the role will be more stable, and a lot of self justification from hiring managers to make you feel less guilty.
if you really don't want to know don't read this reply, but if I told you a North-Eastern, teetotalling Anglo Protestant with a learned Mid-Atlantic accent is part of America's very own Brahmin caste while someone with a thick southern drawl isn't you're going to be mad at me for spilling the beans?

The US has its own very fine-calibrated class system from blue-blood to redneck that pretty much everyone is aware of.
It depends massively on the person. I was vegetarian from birth to age 16, it was during this time that Quorn was launched in the UK. I loved it. It was a lot nicer than the other meat substitutes we had available in the 80s/90s. It was a lot more expensive though, so it was only ever a treat. In retrospect it was probably only a similar price to meat, but we didn't have much money. Conversely my wife has been vegetarian since she was a young child and can't stand any meat substitutes.
That's what Hostinger said when I contacted their support, but I literally did not have this problem with 100+ domains registered with other registrars (GoDaddy, Gandi, TUCOWS, Namecheap, Amazon, etc.) - it was just Hostinger. My suspicion is that they sell your information when you register a domain; I have no other explanation for the phenomenon.
They are orthogonal features. Also, exceptions are not long jumps either, they have well-defined semantics of only traveling through the call stack.
I disagree. I use my AWS EC2 instance as a VPS. For the money I get terrific customer support, access and integration with a tons of other useful services (RDS, S3), shared billing with my Glacier backups, and experience with a technology that employers value. I'm very happy, especially with the customer service.
> Equifax said a sizable number — less than 300,000 people — saw a shift in their credit scores of 25 points or more because of the error. That's more than enough for some people to be denied a loan they should have been granted.

Surely any amount of error could result in people not getting loans when they otherwise should have? Also what about the people who got loans when they shouldn't have? (unless the error was systematic in one direction)

Now that I get old, I notice…

…that all this supposedly stable production code with tests and architecture is useless. because you throw away the stack entirely after 5-8 years, because the API has changed, because the tech is not fashionable, because the new SOC/PCI/Bale regulation mandates things that only exist in AWS.

Just hack the minimum together, speed of execution >> durability of the stack.
In San Francisco if you start from St. Mary's: UCSF is 1.1 miles away by car, CPMC Davies is 1.5. If you start at Kaiser's Geary campus: UCSF Mt. Zion is 0.4 miles away, St. Mary's is 1.1 miles away. If you start at SF General: St Luke's and UCSF Children's Hospital are 1.5 miles away – although UCSF only takes pediatric patients and I think Sutter closed the ER at St Luke's because focusing on specialists is more profitable.

In Oakland: Kaiser and Summit ERs are about half a mile from each other and UCSF Children's Hospital is about 1.5 miles away.

Lower Manhattan: Mt Sinai Beth Israel and Bellevue are about a mile away and there's a VA hospital with an ER next to Bellevue.

In Chicago: UI and county are 0.6 miles away by car and Rush is on the other side about 0.4 miles away. UI actually calls this the "Illinois Medical District".

In Seattle: Swedish First Hill and Virginia Mason are 0.4 miles apart. Kindred's right there too but doesn't have an emergency department. UW Harborview does have an ED and is 0.4 miles in the other direction.

It seems like a good idea to me, but from what I can tell it's quite uncommon (why?).
Non-American here: Made in USA isn’t a marker for quality any longer. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. These days, I make an effort to not buy American products. I wish that was different, but rarely have I seen this mix of carelessness and poor quality control without any attention to detail.
I would disagree it's an economic issue.

I've come across multiple examples of chabuduo resulting in lower quality at zero cost savings. A good example is the construction of a shower. It doesn't cost anything more to make sure the floor is sloped towards the drain. But it often isn't.

It's just the opposite "pride of craftmanship" that you see in Germany or Japan. In those countries, many people wouldn't want their name associated with a shoddy product, it reflects poorly on them.

In China, it doesn't matter, most likely because they get paid the same either way.
I mean, yeah sure there might be less competition but that's not the whole game. I think it's much more the moral question to be honest. The real way to figure it out is to look at the number of people applying to good and "bad" jobs, and the amount of money they make. So compare tobacco to say FANG, or whatever. Then compare Blizzard to FANG. Let me just say now, Blizzard will be the least, even though they have the most applicants. I know this because I worked there.

Let's look at another "bad" job I've been approached about and gave it a thought about the money but then didn't bother because of the moral question: hedge fund trader. This is something that you don't want to give any random person, a bad programmer could easily sublimate millions of dollars before you know what happened. On the other hand, there's probably a lot of people who would kill for a job that would pay that much. I didn't even call them back, and their emails got so desperate that they said they'd pay me out of the rest of my SpaceX stock vesting. Maybe should have taken that one. I'd be at least 4x richer. And they were offering $500k/year in cash salary, and I assume there was probably some kind of perk for performance, as is typical in hedge funds. But yikes. I hate that shit.
Due to the actions of EV Ramaswamy Naicker, a lot of Brahmins from Tamil Nadu were forced to give up their traditional surnames, and made to instead take on their father's names.
Check if your computer is running any disruptive background processes, or if there is some kind of I/O bottleneck (for example, if you fill up a hard disk or SSD, write performance will suffer).

On Linux you can do this by installing htop and iotop, on Windows you can use this using the Task Manager, I'm not sure about Mac. You can also use something like Fraps (https://fraps.com/) to check your framerate.

Also, what graphics cards and cooling solution do you have? If the computer is not getting adequate ventilation and there is a buildup of heat, then the processor may throttle, resulting in dropped frames.
I work in a vilified industry (gambling). I work there as they pay a very well, excellent medical insurance for my family, and other benefits. We mainly make our money from rich people, so if they loose money gambling. I don't worry about it much.
It's less about bad/good and more about whether the work is fulfilling I think. Gaming is a lootbox gambling hellhole now, yet people love working on games, so they keep flocking to it, despite the objectively negative impact of microtransactions, systems designed to maximize addictiveness [1], etc.

It all depends on your perspective. Is the military–industrial complex a scam? Maybe, but loads of useful technology has come out of it. Internet is one of those technologies.

Keep in mind that between 1969 and, say, ~1990, there were very few people on the Internet. Many of them were academics who had access to Internet via their university. Internet access wasn’t a mainstream thing. So trust was probably quite high between them. And very little commerce took place on the Internet. In the 80’s, Internet was not free from criminal activity, but it was not really that much compared to how cyber criminals operate today.

I would like to add something to this. My Android phone refuses to use the GPS only navigation with the default Google Maps app. Even when AGPS is enabled and possible, the almanac downloaded beyond reasonable doubt and my last location known down to a meter. That's just google doing their thing.

Expanding, most navigation apps in the name of preserving "user experience" will actively hide when they fail to work. They won't mention that signal is lost and instead they'll dead recon you within the confines of the road or path you were last in. GMaps will go a step further and simply guess where you just turned at a junction... which is extremely confusing when wrong and the main reason I'm no longer using Gmaps for my car.

I guess what I'm trying to say is this: do not, under any circumstances, mistake your consumer smartphone with stock navigation apps as a reliable navigation device. Especially when getting lost might cost you your life.
I hope you either made up that code or changed it after posting this.
There are bad things about unit tests compared to any other way of getting test coverage. You have to make your architecture more complex to allow them - people call this “testable” and pretend dependency injection and other weird ways of avoiding straightforward code are good. And they rarely fail and have to be maintained.

It might be good to write them as you’re bringing up new code, but deleting the useless ones after that could be an improvement.

I'm not American, but Lafayette was certainly successful at achieving his military and political goals.

It's worth noting he had been trained in a French military academy for officers since 11, and was commissioned as an officer in the French Musketeers at 14.

Additionally he was extremely well connected in the French nobility and clearly had the expectation that men would follow him.

As for his leadership capabilities, Washington cited him in a letter to congress when he was still officially an adviser for rallying US troops during a retreat after being shot in the leg. His record is pretty good: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_du_Motier,_Marquis_de_...

Are defense contractors still vilified? Americans (and Ukrainians) all seem to love Raytheon now:

I expect this goodwill to vanish once the current war ends, and reappear the instant China invades Taiwan.
China sent missiles over Taiwan last week. To me that clearly invokes the prospect of war with our largest trade dependency.

I am claiming that showing weakness by giving a powerful weapon (supply chain dependency) to an adversary invites them to see what they can get away with especially if they wish to conquer another country and you are their main blocker. Our supply chain dependency means China has a direct "cause pain" button they can push on America to cause political unrest or directly punish American involvement in China's "internal affairs." It is a tool they can use to try to make our elites present the Taiwan invasion, not as the conquering of a vibrant democracy, but as America's imperialist meddling in China's internal affairs. The supply chain can directly be used to extort our neutrality, just like Nord Stream was used to extort Germany's neutrality and corrupt Germany's elites. Is our defense posture better then that? Probably, but there is no denying Xi's China is getting more belligerent not less, which means they likely see the relative power shifts favoring them.

It is not the trade that I view as making war more likely, but the hard to replace dependency, namely Nord stream and the tech hardware supply chain.
That is a fair analysis of the situation. Producing better produce is the better path forwards and it is where we should be going. But in taking short cuts there are the four horsemen of flavor - Salt, Fats, Carbs and Sugar. A little is good, too much is bad.

As for fresh produce, I used to work in food manufacturing and there was company pitching their new sterile, vacuum packed fruit range. The idea was that the fruit would be ripened and sealed up at the farm. Their pitch was "fresher than fresh". The idea was that they could stop the ripening process in a fashion similar to how NASA stores their produce for long hauls. Overall it was... ok but there is a reason why it never really went anywhere.
Maybe HN doesn't need all of that? Where/how HN is hosted is the least interesting thing about the orange site IMO.
Is that true? I've been curious lately about the economic breakdown of customers for stuff like casinos and lotteries. Do casinos make more from whales or gambling addicts? I imagine it might vary by the casino.

>The person who claims they have no such beliefs is lying.

prove it.

Anyway, doesn't seem likely, there are first of all various medical and psychological conditions in which intuition, reading of social-behavioral cues, and subjective assessments of temperament and character are impacted, which would mean that some people with these conditions would not be prone to the beliefs that come from these states.

Furthermore there are wide variances in humans as to how much one accepts tradition, authority, how much one searches out newness etc.

given all these factors it strikes me as unlikely that every human would be susceptible to the beliefs that probably affect most of the population around them.

I am however perfectly content to say the person who has no such beliefs is an outlier.
It depends on the industry. In any industry not undergoing disruption, having the long-time employees probably is a good thing. They know how to execute processes well, and know the detailed ins and outs when any random thing goes wrong. They also know the 10 or 50 other people to call when help is needed.

When any of those individuals leave, you have to hope they have a successor who's been handed the core knowledge.

I’ve never met a single hiker who could easily navigate with map and compass in low visibility. I mean, how do you think you’re doing to do it if you can barely see your hand in front of your face? Navigating via map is ok if you have good visibility and can pick out landmarks. If you have a compass and can at least see some of the surrounding terrain a short distance away, you can maybe do it. But, as others pointed out, stick yourself on a mountain with no well worn tourist trail and low visibility and a compass won’t save you. It’s mostly trial and error at that point.

As my partner put it when discussing a group of fell runners - they all talk about navigating via compass, but in reality they just use gps all the time.

Until fairly recently I navigated entirely by map. The maps in the U.K. are slightly inaccurate despite their reputation, so even on a good day I’d make small mistakes. I switched to a phone map so I didn’t have to carry a big cumbersome physical map with me, and then I realised the value of gps. I’ve hiked in low visibility since when I would have definitely have gotten lost without gps - a gazillion criss crossing trails, high erosion, long flat featureless moorland with no landmarks whatsoever… challenging on a good day.
True, but then lots of tech nerds are on here who like to look behind the scenes

I'm with you. Besides the crap shoot, generally the only reason I restart my macbook is because the particular combination of poor cooling, tabs leaking memory, video conferencing software somehow maxing out all cores and Spotlight's indexer apparently rebuilding from scratch have made my experience so awful I've just held the power button for 5s to kill everything and restart. (Side note: why doesn't Mac OS have a "just shutdown already" button like Windows?)

The last thing I want is for all that crap to load back up on restart all at once.

So only subjects that are profitable for employers should be funded? And PhDs should be funded even when they are not profitable but never undergraduate studies so that only people with enough money can afford to pursue an undergraduate degree? Sounds like an excellent way to give even more power to the already rich. This is the kind of late stage capitalism that makes my skin crawl.
I would think it depends also on your sense of responsibilty. For some people, the person building a missile has as much responsibility as the person who fires it. Other people might look at it as being entirely the fault of the person who fired it, and therefore there being nothing wrong in building it. The latter would not really care about whether he's building missiles or selling tobacco as the buck stops with the end customer.

And the Tik Tok engineer thinks "oh man I love video processing almost as much as I love malware, and I fucking love malware."

This for sure is an interesting anecdote, but doesn't seem to directly relate to the contents of the article, which refers to urban driving.

Navigating an urban area with named streets doesn't even need a map and compass, just a map is fine, and it is something most people in developed countries did up until about two decades ago when car GPS units began to roll out.
