I am not your downvoter, but after upvoting on my phone a few times I started to realize it wasn't really clear whether my fat finger hit the up arrow or the down arrow; there is not clear feedback[1]. Since then, I've found myself concerned I might have downvoted a post I really liked, so I unvote, zoom in, and revote. Even then sometimes I've remained unclear/nervous and had to zoom yet again. I'm not sure others are aware of this UI issue or make the effort in this regard.

This is a non-issue on my laptop where the cursor is quite visible and precise.

[1] Writing this post encouraged me to experiment. I guess if you vote up, you get an option to "unvote" but if you accidentally downvote, the option is to "undown". So there is more visible feedback about your vote than I was aware of.
I will probably look for that going forward to ensure my voting intention was properly registered. But it's not super-obvious.

> But I would also like to see posts about actual projects written in Lisp?

What would you like; an example of Lisp being used in a particular domain; a how to guide? You can use lisp for everything you can build with C/C++/Python/JavaScript

Do you want to learn Lisp so you can get a better paying job? I don't think any lisper wold recommend that (unless you want to include Clojure + JVM in that equation). Lisp simply is not that popular

Do you want to learn Lisp so you can master computing? Great idea!

Do you want to learn Lisp so you can prototype a truly novel idea for which you cannot find a plugin library? Great idea! The examples of Reddit and Roomba you gave are exactly this.
> the movie scene (which was never anything special) is mostly dead

To be fair, from my experience most countries don't have much of a movie scene even with copyright and instead mostly import hollywood stuff.

> This is mostly because the means to copy requires little effort compared to the act of creating. So, there is no incentive to create because you wouldn't make a living out of it. Imagine spending two years writing a book and someone buys one and copy it to sell at 25%. He can make a profit at a lower threshold than you, so you as a creator cannot compete.

So don't compete by selling copies but by funding the creation up front. No one is claiming that abolishing copyright won't be disruptive to any existing business models - in fact, that's the point: once something becomes part of our shared culture it is ridiculous to let one entity continue to have exclusive rights so if your business model relies on continued royalties, find a better one.

Otherwise, perhaps consider continued payments to everyone who built your house, computer and whatever else you use if you think that is a great way for society to function. Don't worry, the way things are going we might get there via technical means anyway.

I'm pretty sure:
'You can't see what's in a chest fridge very easily which is a problem if there is more than one person in the household.'

Applies to a majority of people.
Every programming language doesn't have to be trendy on GitHub with a bazillion projects.

Lisp was a major programming language as it powered nearly all AI research for many many years and many of it's ideas have spread into languages we use today. For instance, it was the first language with a garbage collector !

It has many more or less direct descendents that are used

The fact it was created some 70 years ago, but still run nearly unchanged and has active users and project is an achievement.
Answering question for ' Why is initrd needed for "real storage support"?' because there always be somebody:

* need to have sshd at initrd stage to enter encryption keys (remote boot)

* need to have recovery tool on hands (going even further: imagine having working graphical browser when storage fails)

* have same crazy storage setup - root on ceph/nfs volume with non trial configuration and etc...

* in case of electricity fault at home - it only system which have exposed connection to internet

My suggestion for booting would be following:

1) having UEFI bootloader which boot some minimal kernel (lets same sort LTS for stability’s sake ) on /boot partition

2) have ability to unlock and read from root filesystem (same as above, rootfs in nfs/ceph/encrypted ir whatever)

3) then scan kernels from /lib/modules/{version}/bzImage (i know there are modules here, but having one additional file would not hurt too much)

4a) kexec kernel with necessary parameters to start system [in this step we do not enter passwords, encryption keys twice!]

4b) or boot without kexec in recovery mode with some GUI (I want ability to have browser in recovery mode)
I remember doing exactly this. An online bookstore had you either call to order or send an email using PGP to order a book with a credit card.

Reminds me that in 1996-7 we were also usually paying for items by mailing checks on eBay's AuctionWeb.
This comment seems very hyperbolic.

Working from h for a day hardly seems dystopian.
Not op, but I think it means that the cooling system contains a gas that if released (it would normally not be released at all), it would do the same amount of harm to the environment as you would normally do in a year.

(I have no idea if this comparison is accurate, but I do know that coolers commonly contain gasses that you don't want to release)
Parent did not imply that nobody should use them, but maybe offered some valid points to explain why they might not be seeing a very wide adoption.
Your response seems more hostile than it needs to be.
Yeah there are laws : https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/termination/plantclosings. Probably state laws as well. These require notice of severance or post payment and protect against discrimination. Twitter can try to claim that they’re all being fired for cause, but that’ll just end up paying a whole lot of lawyers.

> "Twitter’s newsletter service Revue will be shut down by the end of the year. Revue was acquired by Twitter in January 2021 for an undisclosed amount. The report also says that Notes, a longform posting feature, is on hold, as is Twitter’s plan to build crypto wallets."

All these are look so distant to Twitter's core value.
Exactly.

I used ZLibrary to download e-books of books that I could only find in some crappy format (including physical). I use game-pirating sites the same way. I already purchased Secret of Mana-- why shouldn't I just re-download it?

I have a Kobo, and its store is woefully lacking (would get a Kindle if I could go back in time). So, what I do is buy the book wherever I can find it cheapest, then chuck it and pirate an e-version of it. That way, my weird conscience thinks it's OK, and I have it in the format I desire.

The entire content distribution system for all forms of media (and a lot of software) is pretty broken.
The issue with this argument is resettlement of citizens not from that region to alter the demographics, as is the case of Northern Cyprus. If your nation isn't given the right to self-determination until your existing community is outnumbered by settlers 2:1, did you really ever have the right to self-determination in the first place? Does a referendum in that case accurately represent the native communities that represented the invaded nation, or does it then represent the invading nation through the settlers?
Does it make much of a difference if you keep it open for 20 seconds or 2 minutes?

I imagine that as soon as most of the cool air has flowed out of it (which should happen quite quickly), the additional energy loss is minimal

There are compromise versions where there is a small door at half height in the big door, through which you can get the bottles/milk crates out of the side of the door.

What I am wondering is if there is a way to solve this with at technical solution that keeps the current standup design but makes it energy efficient.

For example:
An opening at the bottom of the door that sucks cold air in when the door opens and transports it to the top back of the compartment.
While open, most of the cold air would be saved and it's only a ventilator that's running for a few seconds
That only works when the company has enough cash or assets to buyout the new owner for more than they paid. Twitter was definitely not a case of sitting on a mountain of assets that can be broken up and raided.
If you are my parents, how do you tell the difference between a deer pendant and an "unlicensed Bambi pendant"? It's like half the size of a penny, not much room for detail. It's not as if my parents intentionally knowingly did so, they genuinely thought it was a deer, not a Bambi, and the point is that there isn't really a way, that's the craziness of it. It's not like a sports jersey where it's clearly being done intentionally. What, are we going to say that any taxidermy deer is a knock off of Bambi now? Any sculpture of a lions is from the lion king?
What about Foxconn China not allowing employees to go home because of ,,zero COVID policy''?

For me that is dystopian.
Releasing the equivalent greenhouse gases through leaking coolant in a few seconds as running the fridge in a year would produce, maybe?
> Sure, something nobody has heared of and nobody knows why it should be at a company like Twitter.

Actually almost everyone who is in the Data/ML space knows about it.

It's one of the biggest challenges in ML which is making sure that models don't amplify biases in the training datasets and cause harm to users and the company. There have been many stories with TikTok for example recommending accounts which promote unhealthy eating [1] to users with a known eating disorder.

because HN users in royal we strongly believes in an automated technocracy by means of evolutionarily derived information technology techniques. This is a pseudo-religion without a sound scientific basis. Which I have my faith with by the way.
It's interesting how the firing process presented in the movie Up in the Air (2009) was supposed be inhumane and insulting. Well, look where we are now.
I agree, that fiddling with tools can be a distraction. But having a proper structure, search feature and a function to add information quickly is more important imho.

In the end, if the tool just displays markdown files but offers a simple editor and a search function, the tool would be "a few web pages" with added comfort of use. I'd prefer the tool over manually managing documents.
thank you for clarifying :)
> There is nothing dystopian about denying people that are no longer employed office access.

That conveniently leaves out the dystopian parts. Being logged off remotely, no personal communication, no delay, &c.
In four years Musk will be bored to death with Twitter and will sell it to private equity and the Saudis for $5 billion. At that point it will be mostly a platform for porn creators and crypto pumping, the only two verticals where Twitter seems to be actually growing lately.

To add something coincidental to this subject that happened yesterday:

I'm in Nottingham in my holidays at the moment — I spoke to an elderly man who was originally from the north of England and he happened to bring up accents.

He was in the army for a few years and he said he had to change his accent because [putting on a strong northern accent] "if oi talk loike this, people thought oi was a blimmin' idiot".

> I would kind of expect the energy consumption of a fridge to be related to the surface area of the cooled volume rather than the volume itself.

I'd expect that for a fridge that's permanently closed, but what if you open it regularly? I'd expect a lot of the cold air inside (so volume) to mix with the room-temperature air once you open it..?
My Bank of America credit card lets me dispute charges online, with a simple series of web forms. Very convenient.
Space efficiency comes to mind as well on overall usability, can't stack anything above it (aside from storage shelves way above), kitchens are rarely big enough to store such a horizontal device, let alone in places where the $/m2 is high, like many city centers.

Also practical reasons, in horizontal config it's way harder to avoid my tomatoes getting squished by leftover casseroles, let alone having a small item roll around to the bottom never to be found again.
In cases like this typically they'd just fire you and pay the salary through the minimum notice period without requiring nor allowing you to show up. I see no reason to think that's not the case here.
Now you've got me wondering: is there any nation that guarantees any "workers right" that would forbid this?
I don't think this is mandatory but government have been lobbying with supermarkets and they agreed to add doors about 8 years ago, probably to avoid being forced with a total ban.

You still see some small doorless fridges with high margin quick grab products but you no longer need to wear a coat when you go near the fresh or frozen department.
> The one with the better offer

Is the only thing that determines whether you take a job the salary ?

Because for many people how much you get paid is important but far from the only factor.
Diagrams communicate relationships more directly and clearly than words ever can. Using only text-based markup, create meaningful and attractive diagrams to document your domain, visualize user flows, reveal system architecture at any desired level, or refactor your code. With the tools and techniques this book will give you, you’ll create a wide variety of diagrams in minutes, share them with others, and revise and update them immediately on the basis of feedback. Adding diagrams to your professional vocabulary will enable you to work through your ideas quickly when working on your own code or discussing a proposal with colleagues.
Too much bloat, lazy workers who are overpaid. The whole Silicon Valley needs a big cleanup.
Comparing outcomes of emergency c-sections to scheduled c-sections is always going to come out in favour of scheduled c-sections. On one side something is going wrong 100% of the time and the other something is not always going wrong. Not sure how to make this anymore obvious. This is a pointless comparison.

Comparing outcomes of natural births as a whole vs scheduled c-sections is far more useful comparison.
I don't think journalism is actually useful if the journalist is pure negative all the time; if you can't tell the difference between a journalist and a teenager with oppositional defiant disorder, why believe the story? And to investigate, they actually need good sources, but tech people who would be the sources aren't going to talk to an unfriendly uninformed reporter.

Although in this case, the NYT wasn't doing "investigative journalism", Matt is talking about a literal actual editorial mandate to write negative stories.

I don’t think you’ve witnessed many mass layoffs. What you’re describing is how companies do relatively small cuts.

Even Stripe’s layoff was far less than 50% but it got pretty impersonal. They just paid severance better from what we know so far.
Technology Connections did a video[0] about this some time ago.

I don't think you understand how mass layoffs in big companies work. There's nothing new or dystopian about it. You probably haven't heard of garden leave as well?
Lisp was Python in the first AI wave, and having it failing to meet expectations burned many bridges.

Commercial software + hardware required to comfortably run Lisp Machines was more expensive than UNIX workstations.

Having paid for UNIX workstations, most shops would just use C and C++ instead of paying for commercial Lisp packages on top, plus scripting languages like Tcl and Perl brought a bit of Lisp like experience into UNIX.

Eventually most of the stuff that made Lisp awesome ended up in Smalltalk, Java. .NET, Dylan, Julia, Python however there is still plenty missing from the whole experience.

Even today? UA strings are easily fakeable (so fakeable that it surprises me that people still use them for anything).

If a bot still gets caught by UA strings then it's just a poorly written bot?

DoubleVerify is a Googley company that does bot detection. That uses the UA and IP address to find them.
As a Kiwi who left NZ, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere. Wages are just terrible for an OECD nation and unlikely to improve any time soon. This is exacerbated by system issues to cost of living. Everything from food to housing will shock you. I could go on at length about other issues, but I would recommend Australia LONG before NZ.
Which is fair, but if these do not apply then a chest fridge is a great way to reduce energy consumption, wouldn't you say?

Theranos scammed wealthy investors but also hurt a lot of other people in the process, namely patients who received bad tests and employees who have a black mark on their resume.

In an ideal world maybe investors would have done more DD, but there is a lot of money out there. Many investors likely did turn them down, since their funders didn’t include many traditional SV VCs, despite being next door to Sand Hill Road.

It was ultimately the WSJ that broke the story. Even if investors find something during DD, they have strong incentives (libel law) not to share it.
> might need to happen as we remove more and more jobs.

> if we plan to automate everything we possibly can that has to eventually be false

These are forms of the lump of labour fallacy (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lump_of_jobs_fallacy).

Automation has been happening since the industrial revolution (or the stone age, depending on how one sees it). If jobs were only removed, humanity would have been jobless long ago. People surely thought exactly the same thoughs a few centuries ago.

>If you have so few that you can maintain a list, it kinda proves OP's point

OP didn't really make a point. He just said that he would like posts about lisp being used in production

> Also as an addendum to his point, what about projects being written in the last decade or two?

It's a niche language so it's pretty pointless throwing lists of all CL projects in production at people. Instead I suggest you say what domain interests you and maybe someone who worked in your domain will be able to give a more meaningful response

> Emacs is cool, but it was created in 1976...

Wow I forget how old my operating system is given how "modern" it feels and that to this day nothing even comes close to it
Sure, but let's assume that the program has more than one thread and that another thread could still be using the old value. In that case, an imperative program might be required to copy the whole structure or sleep until the existing users are done, which is often less efficient and is always more complicated.

If it's ok to support only a single concurrent user of the value, then a mutable structure is indeed more efficient. Even in Haskell we have mutable structures that can be used for such purposes.

The interesting question to me is, what should be the default? I think there is a good argument that it should be the safer, simpler immutable structures.

Mod abuse on Reddit is a very real problem. Turns out it’s not all that anonymous.
The other factors will be how full it is, how frequently it's accessed, and whether it's got one of those ice makers.

If you have an empty fridge or freezer, it's a good practice to put e.g. water bottles in there for cool thermal mass, ideally in the top (cold air flows downwards; old fashion fridges were cabinets with a compartiment in the top for blocks of ice they would store underground in winter).
