> I have never really understood people‘s aversion to parentheses

A common refrain from Lisp family language enthusiasts. (Personally I prefer Smalltalk-style "conversational" syntax to Lisp-style or C-style syntax, yet it's similarly unpopular.)

For better or for worse, the vast majority of programmers seem to have voted with their feet for C-style syntax (C/C++/Java/JavaScript/etc.) and its variants (Python). In a C/C++/Java/JavaScript world, C syntax has a fair amount of leverage.

It's a shame that Dylan didn't continue, as it seems to have taken a decent crack at adding algebraic syntax to Common Lisp - arguably realizing McCarthy's original vision of infix M-expressions as a more programmer-friendly syntax. I wonder how hard it would be to add a Dylan-style syntax layer to modern CL?

Be that as it may, one can readily write Lisp/Scheme-style programs in JavaScript. See Crockford's "The Little JavaScripter."[1] The major omission/deficiency being macros for JavaScript syntax.

EDITIED TO ADD:

Before taking Zinc get your Serum Zinc and RBC Zinc levels tested. Easy to do in the US if you have some money.

Also get your Serum Copper and Ceruloplasmin tested since taking zinc at high dose for a while will lower copper since zinc creates Metallothioneins that capture the copper in the intestine before it can be absorbed.

A few years ago it took me a few days to find something, this time around it took me a few months. I've had a few experiences similar to you where I was basically told an offer was about to be sent and then it just doesn't happen, or I was rejected after what I thought was a great interview. Don't let it get to you or take it personal and just keep pushing.

Right, but it's sort of like seeing, I dunno, a documentary about some human facet of a murderous dictatorial regime. In a way it's mortifying to be viscerally reminded that humans capable of being hurt are casually inflicting so much harm on humanity. That they're completely insulated from the second and third order effects of their work. Just following orders without thought.
Yeah, supporting people who use older software and older computers doesn't make financial sense for Microsoft. Plus now it's a lot harder to index the pages so it's more lock-in. Web apps have so many advantages for for-profit corporations in filtering out the unprofitables.
This is a really, really, really beautiful story, thanks for sharing this.

I don't know exactly where Cynthia was at on which spectrums, but this reminds me a lot of the female-phenotype of autism (surprisingly different from male autism, one reason why it's under diagnosed). I say this as an autistic person with a combined type having some generally male exclusive and some female exclusive traits. I developed as nonbinary so it took me a while to realize I was autistic, even after learning I was nonbinary.

Before I knew I was nonbinary, I thought I was NT. Because "that's not autism'!

Anywho, interesting stuff. I've found the book "Women and Girls with Autism Spectrum Disorder" to shed a really helpful light on the subject, and would definitely recommend it if you have autistic female family members, are questioning but don't think it's right because "it doesn't fit me", or may be a combined type (oftentimes spectrum people don't develop according to standard gender binaries, ya see.)

Happy for any questions, this story was heartwarming and I didn't bob in the toilet but Ive had my oddities growing up! ;D

P.S.: I use "Pee Pee" all the time, and it made me so happy to see 'Starfish and Pee Pee' when I was skimming the article before figuring out the topic. I'm still giggling 30 minutes later. :) XD
This is hardly news. Without an actual report to refer to, one can't help but wonder if this article is part of some kind of narrative building exercise.
A few years ago the TV-watching public was introduced to this concept with all of the concern about so-called Russian hacking. All I could think was if you think what our enemies do is bad, you should see what our allies do.
Right. Gcc was free. And had wider reach than lisp. Not sure how this is a counter point?

You could somewhat freely get some compilers. Sun paid a ton to get Java to people.
Of course, implementation details are different between microarchitectures - that's the definition, after all.

However, "agnostic" usually means that behavior doesn't vary. Performance is orthogonal to behavior in this case. I definitely don't expect code optimized for Haswell to be as fast on a Broadwell as code optimized for Broadwell, but I do at least expect it to run.
FTX hacker identity discovered by Kraken Exchange team?
If you're holding it on Gemini Earn, I highly recommend withdrawing, even if only for the next few months.

Gemini Earn deposits into Genesis Trading, and they have admitted to having direct exposure to FTX ($175M [0]). While they can likely weather that loss, I have concerns about other indirect exposure they may have in the coming weeks. I don't think we've seen the end of the FTX story.

If I were you, I'd take the money out yesterday, and hold it in either US Treasuries (6 month pays 4.45%), or put it into a liquid money market while this all blows over. The extra couple of percentage points you'll earn does not at all seem worth the elevated risk right now.

Depends on your interest. It is an operating system, so has lot of different parts. It is a microkernel with other parts as servers e.g for graphics there is window server, for filesystem there is file server etc.

Start from the server for the area you are interested in and then move down to the related drivers and finally the kernel. You will need to understand some of the design patterns used in Symbian though, which are bit unique.
You wouldn't steal a satellite
My comment was more about California, specifically, as that's what the original post was about. The state constitution uses the term "full cash value". I dislike the term "Assessed value" because so many people assume it's the same as "appraised value" which is a term that buyers, sellers, lenders, and real estate agents are usually more familiar with. I very much agree with the OP in that I think we should be explicit about the subsidies and/or exemptions that we give instead of hiding them in the way that taxes are assessed.
This is an excellent point you made here, I'm not a people pleaser and really need to think about this better.

Observing that you can implement any semantics atop a turing complete mechanism isn't interesting. You're also ignoring the very interesting possibility of using a total language.

Same story but with propolis.
I’m slightly curious if Sam had a personal relationship with someone at alameda? He took a pretty straightforward way to make money (charge fees running an exchange) and then looks to have dumped money into an absolute black whole of illiquidity and stupidity at alameda which was run by Caroline ? Even if alameda was making smart seed round investments- the liquidity horizons make no sense for an exchange to be part of that!

I can imagine alameda being burnt by 3ac - just wrap things up there if needed?

I don't wish to be uncompassionate.

But I must respectfully note, I think if you're asking for help to circumvent a punishment by GitHub, one needs to know what the nature of the "controversy" was. There are certainly some 'controversial' viewpoints that are vile enough that I'd rather not help someone who had their views.

I respect that you're in a sticky wicket. But this seems no different from pre-Internet times when one might lose their job from insulting a close vendor or client your employer works with. Imagine you were in a bar in a one-company town talking about a sexual conquest, only to turn around and see your employer, who reveals your conquest was a 20-something child of theirs. Your choice at that point is pretty much to move.

You failed to have the self-awareness that you were in a venue that could affect your livelihood and made a mistake so significant that it can't be retracted or made up. That has happened both off the Internet and on it since time immemorial.

The question you are asking now is not how to handle the situation, but how to continue the behavior of disguising yourself to circumvent the punishment. I think that (a) is a question that shows you are not owning up to your behavior (which itself is problematic); and (b) is the wrong strategy to take in this situation, because any circumvention or working outside the GitHub system is _conceivably_ fragile and could collapse at any point, leaving you with the same problem once more.

My own suggestion - and I make this with reluctance not knowing whether the 'controversy' is something vile - would be to do two things. Both would be extremely hard.

First, I would approach your HR contact, apologize for your conduct with the most remorse you can demonstrate, and see if their person/contact (sales, support, whatever) at GitHub can help you in this situation. Assuming they want to keep you, they can even say to GitHub, "Look, we want to keep this person employed, what can you do for us? Can you provide an ability to commit code without commenting ability?" Etc.

Second, pursuing that guidance separately, I would see if anyone here, or any personal or professional contact of yours (cf. LinkedIn, etc.), has any contact at GitHub, or any friend-of-a-friend at GitHub, etc., so that you can speak with someone personally.

Certainly the repeated attempts (and deletions) at circumvention likely are not doing anything but racking up points on the 'don't let this guy back in' meter, whether that's automated or not.

Lest you think I am unsympathetic, I once made a decision that might've potentially locked me out of a great deal of future employment. I truly believe what made the difference in that situation was that I owned up to my error and looked the wronged parties in the eye and apologized directly. I explained the human factors leading me to make the wrong decision, while explicitly saying it didn't excuse the mistake. Humility is rare enough in today's world that it can oft make a difference.

I wish you luck in your resolution of this issue.
It's not so simple. Good lies, the kind of disinformation that swings
elections, wins wars, and controls populations, can be extraordinarily
difficult to build. Think Operation Mincemeat. The backstories,
legends, covers and dissemination costs can rival research in pursuit
of truth. And by the same token, deep truths are sometimes there in
the open for anyone with eyes and the wits to observe and write-up.

What I think you're talking about is "bullshit", which is really a
kind of ephemeral non-data, like spam, advertising and opinions.

Flooding the public sphere with that, especially now using ever more
plausible generative "AI" tools, devalues public truth and makes
private intelligence stores seem more attractive and valuable.

In the limit this can even become a justification for cloistered data,
as the Church understood so well with Latin scriptures. We'll be told
"The people can't be trusted with the truth".

It was GCC being free, and on DOS thanks to djgpp, that made it successful; and it didn't need corporate megabucks to do it.
execution cost
I don't understand why being in the same or a separate project matters at all. It's an entirely theoretical thing. The only actual meaningful question is if it is in the same shared library or not (and it isn't). Your CPU does not care that function A comes from company A and function B from company A or B when executing, it'll be the same code.
That transparent obsequiousness would be a huge red flag for me. I guess I'm disagreable.

High voltage power lines have losses of 0.5% to 1% per 100 miles. Beaming power from space microwaves would have a total loss of 40-60%.

And that doesn't include the cost (both money and carbon) of launching all the collection and transmission equipment into space in the first place.
There is actually a weird way to work around that. If you stand on an insulated sheet (like a clean plastic cutting board) you wouldn't have a path to ground. If you cut open one current carrying conductor of the cord and put yourself in-series a GFCI wouldn't trip in that case. Current would still flow through the device. Enough to hurt you, but probably not enough to turn it on for most devices like a lamp.

As you can guess, such an accident is nearly impossible even in the case of someone cutting through a cord accidentally.

Since the bundle includes ESPN+ we have an upper bound on how big that "some" can possibly be: 24.3 million according to https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/disney-plus-subscribers-164...

The actual bundle numbers will be less than that of course, but without knowing how many people subscribe exclusively to ESPN+ (i.e. not as part of the bundle) we don't know by how much.

Robots still have a hard time navigating terrain and manipulating stuff

...

> So, here’s the speculation / thesis: exercising, that is, operating our bodies at a higher than baseline level, with everything that entails - energy regulation, unconscious balancing, spatial awareness, etc - requires more computing power than crosswords, sudoku, finding relations between measure theory and first-order logic through category theory, etc

I don't buy it. Stuff like "navigating terrain" is something that insects can do often better than robots. It's simply not that hard for animals, which have specialised hardware for this (but on the flipside we lack hardware IEEE compliant floating point units).

Exercise is good because the brain is an organ, and general health is good for organs. And because of psychological factors. General and mental health have a huge impact on cognitive performance.

Cognitive training is not particularly effective because it's a lot of wistful thinking and snake oil (there might be something to it, but I've seen little evidence that it's particularly effective especially when it comes to transfer).

There probably is some cognitive benefit to exercise. Decision making under pressure, discipline, spatial awareness, etc and there would be some transfer to related domains. But I suspect the main effect is just health (which both is better for cognitive performance, and encourages other activities which are good for cognitive performance).

GCC being freely available didn't require massive corporate backing.

So lack of massive corporate backing is insufficient as an explanation of Common Lisp's lack of free availability (on then-mainstream platforms) circa 1995.

I think the real explanation is, at that point, the Common Lisp community mostly didn't get why it was important. And by the time they got it, it was too late.
Yeah you're right, FOMO and the bandwagon effect are at play here.
This may be true, but wait until you get hired and you disagree with a lot of what they do or say, internally. You will not be able to let it be known and you will hate the people, your job, and everything. It may be better to find another team that you agree with if you don't desperately need the job.

Plants increase CO2 levels at night, though. Photosynthesis unavailable then, thus they use dark breathing, setting free CO2.
I think you are talking past me, though. My claim is that it took massive corporate bucks for Java to get inroads. Specifically because it was competing with some free options.

Common lisp had nothing like that. Nor did Ada. Or... really, any other language? Microsoft did a pretty heavy push with C# and the general .NET ecosystem. Though, even they had to resort to destroying a lot if the VBScript world that had proliferated quite heavily by just being available on tools that folks otherwise had.
Most murderers are not caught in a shoot out with police. And murderers account for such a small number of police interactions that it’s a little bizarre to extrapolate the murder rate would strongly correlate to victims of police violence by race.

What’s a better consideration? That more police interactions happen with black people. Some of this is due to racism. Black people are far more likely to have the police called on them for being “suspicious” and police are more likely to stop or question black people (as shown in NYC stop and frisk or traffic stops, etc.).

Statistically, white people and black people have about the same rate of drug use. There are 4x as many black people getting arrested for drug use.[1]

Now one way to interpret this is that police target black people more, and so they find more crimes, reinforcing the idea that black people are criminal, leading to even further over-policing.

This isn’t to say there isn’t a gang problem in black communities, but it’s a complicated problem and the solution isn’t improve policing OR support black communities… it’s we need to do both.

> This is all to say that many of the “defund the police” efforts, while understandable as a knee jerk reaction to police violence we sometimes see, is fundamentally misguided. It’s akin to campaigning against chemotherapy, because lots of chemotherapy recipients end up dying. Defunding the police won’t change the underlying systemic racism that is the source of the problem, and if anything will exacerbate it. This is reflected in polling of black Americans who live this reality, the majority of whom want more policing in their communities.

I think this shows a misunderstanding of what defund the police was, and comes off as patronizing in that ignorance. The intent of the movement was that the difference in funding would then be invested in those communities, which is something you seem to agree would help accomplish their goal of reducing crime.
