Typically an advanced UI where one types into a REPL is called a 'Listener' in Lisp. Examples for Listeners: the MCL Listener, Genera's Listener, LispWorks Listener, the SLIME Listener and others.

For an impression of a Genera Listener I would recommend to see Kalman Reti's Youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4-YnLpLgtk He shows there the Lisp Machine Listener debugging/interacting with mixed Lisp and C code.

MCL and LispWorks IDEs Listeners are running in an integrated editor. The running programming runs inside the development environment.

SLIME's Listener uses an external editor (GNU Emacs) for the Listener.

Genera has an integrated application as a Listener and that one is not based on an editor.

That's also a significant difference if the Listener is an internal tool, compared to an externally attached tool. External: from a user point of view, I use an IDE and connect to a running Lisp. Internal: I use the IDE and spawn a new Listener window (which could be on another X11 screen in case of an X11-based GUI). Usually the integration with internal Listeners is higher, but they may be more fragile, since they share the process & UI with the running program.

Using an editor as a base substrate has some advantages: one has usually better editing support in the Listener. But as Genera shows, a Listener does not need to run on top of an editor to be powerful. The Genera listener has for example full output recording, each listener is also a drawing plane and remembers all output and associates it with the displayed Lisp objects. That makes the interaction with code and data extremely convenient, a feature which is not provided by evaluating code from an editor buffer. SLIME provides a similar feature, but in a very limited way. The richer the Listener UI, the more of the interaction of the user will be in the Listener. Thus often an exclusive use of the editor to evaluate code is either a sign of a powerful editor integration or a weak Listener implementation. In Genera the Lisp listener is also not only a powerful data explorer, but also a shell with a lot of commands for exploring the Lisp system. A portable and in some ways slightly less polished / extensive version is the McCLIM listener. Example: https://mcclim.common-lisp.dev/static/media/screenshots/bund...

Also a Lisp might provide Listeners as panes of application frames. Thus an application window (either a tool of the IDE or any application GUI window) includes a corresponding Listener as a pane. As a simple example I can open a LispWorks Inspector and add a Listener pane. Any result from evaluation in the Listener will be displayed in a Inspector, with history.

A few thoughts here, but fair warning that I'm no psychologist. :)

I find it helpful to work towards accepting where I am at and judging myself from there. Relatively speaking, taking a small step is a huge step if I have not taken any steps lately. It's insufficient for absolute success, but for relative success it's great. I think it is surprisingly hard to know and accept where one is at and that it requires active reflection to get there. It's not hard to do, but it's easy for dissonance to seep in and not challenge it, like being surprised when you look yourself in the mirror, and it's difficult to build from an unstable foundation.

Sometimes I'll be running low, stop brushing my teeth, and then beat myself up over it. Later, I'll brush my teeth. After that, I'll go to be upset at myself for having not brushed, realize I did, and have a nice burst of happiness. I wasn't happy to have brushed my teeth because I considered that the bare minimum, but I sure was happy to not beat myself up over it again. The satisfaction was just a bit delayed.

In general, I think it's a lot more important to be concerned about direction and momentum than destination. Small wins correct your direction and increase your momentum. They keep you agile. What more to want? An energy/momentum cost/benefit analysis? Don't do small wins that take a lot of effort and clearly low effort wins are always great. Your desired destination is going to keep changing throughout life because you're an aging human. So don't sweat the destination too much - just focus on being robust.

Okay, let’s not let “corporations” buy domain names at all then. The difference between foo.bestbuy and foo.bestbuy.com is cultural, namely that you personally are used to one but not the other. Corporations are as much the owners of the internet as they have been for…decades. The registries for .com and .net are operated by publicly-listed billion-dollars-in-revenue-earning Verisign. The majority of the internet’s underlying infrastructure is owned by for-profit entities that are in it to make money from you.

The reality is that the commercialisation of the Internet is the only reason that you or I or venture capitalist plaything Hacker News are all even here at all. ICANN just found a way to extract buckets of money from brand-obsessed companies for essentially just adding a line to a database. It’s hilarious and I challenge you to point out how this itself is affecting the openness of the Internet in any tangible way.

Rest assured, it's very confusing to see him act so stupidly with this twitter event. I have difficulties wrapping my head around the spacex-smart vs twitter-fool contrast. I guess he doesn't use the same part of his brain on these two topics.. i'm sure he was sharper because tesla/spacex were hardscience dreams of his, whereas twitter is just "i've succeeded twice, let's just handwave that thing"

I used to think like that too but I think it’s flawed. By that logic you should withdraw all your money and pile it up next to your passport and unencrypted drives because they could pilfer your drives to get bank passwords anyway.

Just because something doesn’t offer complete security, doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea.
The author does a good job showing how AWS got to this point, but I think the majority of their argument is that they don't care for the semantics. Lines like:

>>A consequence of this change was to further remove any coherent meaning for the term “role”

and

>>So what is an IAM role then? Simply put, it’s a principal (i.e. an identity) with no long-lived credentials, that can be impersonated for arbitrary purposes.

Show that this is the main grievance. And to that I say - I hope you never try to mix Azure workloads at the same time as you are working on other cloud providers, as the nomenclature differences will drive you crazy.

I do agree that the GCP model is more sensible (unless you have to 'unlearn' the AWS style first) but my major grievance is the combination and intersection of lots of different permission layers in AWS - you can have SCP's acting as a hard explicit deny at the top level, then your policies attached to roles/users, and then some services (such as S3) can have resource based policies as well. Even the best engineers can forget a setting or two and have to spend time troubleshooting, especially across a lot of accounts.

Yes, you can still run out of memory. But you can't get a fragmented heap if you never free(). And if you allocate only at init, not during the normal operation stage, you can't run out of memory if you manage to start up successfully.
Finance is a legit use case. If you think it's not then by extension you have to write off the legacy financial system as well.

Think about something like private/public pensions, annuities etc. A cogitating being knows that they are getting older and will need money for retirement, but they also should know that there are essentially just 4 ways to make an investment grow without any labor input from the investor: the bond market, the stock market, the real estate market and private lending to companies or individuals.

Now with the possible exception of private lending a citizen can do all the above, and remember they also know that they will need money for retirement. So tell me again why do they need public/private pensions and annuities? And why we allow such actors to operate given they redundacy considering the fact that they are preying on people's fears that they won't be able to make it in the future?

If crypto preys on people's greed then the legacy financial system preys on people's fears. They are 2 equally bad behaviors.
I was at Google, although not in Search. Search-adjacent, you might say.

Like Maps, it's much, much harder than it looks. They have whole teams that concentrate on one particular vertical, and there are a lot of verticals.

That said: they're also heavily invested in solving problems of 15 years ago that have gone away. Someone taking a fresh look can probably do a lot better, but it would take enormous resources. It would make more sense to build "what Search is going to be" rather than "a better version of what's already been done."

I think this much evidence is enough to deduce that, "No, fake account didn't wipe out $20B in market cap, rather it was a broad market trend"
Having some hierarchy or structure to DNS would be better. But that ship sailed around 1996 when Postel explicitly rejected the idea of closing .COM

So, the argument goes, just close the COM (and NET and ORG)
domain to new registrations and tell all those making
registration requests "were sorry, COM was a mistake, you
now have to register under your country code". After all,
by the growth argument, in a couple of years the number of
companies in COM will be a small percentage of the total
population.

I don't think this will work. There would certainly be a
lot of complaints (and probably legal actions) suggesting
that some unfair practices were being followed and that the
new requesters were being arbitrarily disadvantaged. I
think it would be hard to argue that over 200,000
registrations following a procedure in place over 5 years
was a small mistake.

Leaving .COM to be the everything TLD pretty solidly settled the non-existence of hierarchy in the public space, which I see directly paving way for these "new" gtlds.
Well yeah. In this case I'm afraid you're wrong. You don't violate patents or copyrights by making something that's compatible with a copyrighted/patented work, insofar as you don't violate the copyright/patent.

Having your code call an API is not a copyright violation.

Now that they added back the "verified" stamp an internal slack message said to only allow it for advertisers. So the advertisers that pulled out like Oreo or whatever wouldn't be able to get it it seems (edit, pointed out below: Oreo does have it, some other major companies like McDonalds don't but I'm not sure of their advertiser status), which in turn seems like extortion (put them at the mercy of fake accounts and confusion without the verfied wording) to go along with the earlier advertiser blackmail ("name and shame" for hurting what Musk characterizes as "free speech" if they dont pay back up).

Yes. All modern systems run a huge amount of code if we count the underlying microcode, operating system, runtime libraries, 3rd party dependencies and the application itself.

The thing is not the total size but the boundaries and the understanding of each layer and how manageable each layer is for the humans modifying and mantaining it ... which is, of course, the total cognitive complexity.

This is actually good. By reducing the market cap, it gives Musk more leverage to expand Twitter and shift it into the future plans for x.com, once again showing off his 6D chess skills.
Your reference shows unusual trades but not proof of insider trading.
Pretty sure this is going to be investigated by the SEC. It's pretty insane though, though pretty much everyone I saw commenting on this twitter blue issue thought of impersonation as the first thing that would happen when you gave people access to an 8 dollar checkmark.

I mean, the writing's on the wall. I don't think this was Elon Musk being a mega brain, I think Elon Musk and his friend Calacanis which, btw, how could he take his advice after those desperate texts he had been sending, think they know better. It's simple as that, they think they know better, they think they have the answers. But they don't, and it's showing.

Twitter needs to be run responsibly, and believe it or not, the constraints of being a public company were restricting the company reasonably. It was not the most profitable, it had problems with bots, it definitely had problems with driving engagement through hatred (though, arguably, this might have been a good thing for the business)... but it was relatively stable. Now those constraints are gone but instead of improving the perverse incentives that plagued the platform Musk is trying to monetize the company in irresponsible ways.

One funny thing is that Musk keeps tweeting about how twitter is as active as it has ever been, and I'm not sure if he knows this but chaos is not always desirable. If you drop a bee's colony you will for sure see the most activity in the colony right before the bee's sting you to death and either die or move to a new colony.

If you are developing a simple service that only needs access to an S3 bucket and a DynamoDB table etc. at runtime then it is pretty straightforward to write the explicit allows to the right resources afforded in the 'base' AWS IAM.

Where things usually get tricky is for the CI/CD pipelines and/or the administrative users that need way more access. It is very hard to scope to true least privilege - including for things like lots of ECS/Fargate where you don't want people to mess with each other's Task Definitions/Tasks/Services hosted within the same AWS account for one example. The various AWS services are very hit-and-miss for how well you can scope resources and what conditions they offer you.

Security will say "no resource star" which is a best practice but quite difficult to get right in most larger accounts. Permission Boundaries help in being able to flip the conversation to "lets list all the things these users/pipelines shouldn't be able to do instead of what they should to then constrain the more wildcard-y/star-y IAM policy we need." But even those are getting harder these days because there is soo much you don't want your average operator/admin to be able to do too.

Usually people throw up their hands and over-provision generally or give each team their own AWS account and overly permissive access within it - but ring-fenced to their own stuff at least as a risk trade-off. Though I think the pendulum may be swinging back from a bazillion AWS accounts (with all those problems) back to trying to solve the IAM problem with additional new tools (CIEMs etc) that will help them to manage IAM as-a-service with a pretty UI or by letting you scope down users/roles to only the activity they have done within the last 7 days etc.

There is a great line that "complexity isn't created or destroyed - it is just made somebody else's problem" - do you want to make these an AWS IAM problem or an AWS account-management problem? A pipeline/automation problem or a heavily-staffed security team who can write great IAM policies/PBs/SCPs problem? A SaaS vendor we can procure a CIEM from problem? etc.
1) It has okay speed. Also, the GC is a very naive one, not “good” compared to other managed languages.

3) Besides C#, which languages doesn’t have typed erases generics? Most languages implement it through erasure. Also, Go’s generics are basic as hell..

4) Not sure about write, read.. deeply nested for loops, error handling taking up place everywhere, literally more verbose than even Java

5) it has plenty of hard-coded shit already, due to missing generics for a huge time (e.g. built-in data types)

A note, the dried stuff is a different experience, it doesn't have that awesome butteriness.
Simple vs. complex is often a measure of the types of system the user "wants" vs. the range of cases that the domain might present for solution.

e.g.

* I just want to do something simple => Solution space presented is too complex

* I have a complex use case => Solution space is easy to map my problem into

It's okay to cry that the emperor has no clothes. Musk has no competence for running a social media company. There is no grand strategy. Maybe he'll get a grip eventually. It certainly doesn't look like it right now.
the technology is irrelevant, it's purely mismanagement and lack of coordination amongst agencies. modern main line EMUs are perfectly capable of matching BARTs performance.

there are many, many problems with BART's SFO extension (courtesy of quentin kopp), redundancy is not one of them. there was no BART to caltrain connection prior to the SFO extension, and caltrain is a completely unserious transit agency running hour headways.

genuine problems with the transit system in the bay area abound, you should pick one of those to complain about instead of some weird fixation on incompatible gauges

>>TED continued to uphold and celebrate Musk long after he started engaging in batshit public behavior, from calling people "pedophiles" to peddling transphobic jokes.

This is an extremely hyperbolic account. Yes, him calling a guy a "pedo" on Twitter during a back and forth spat was a mistake that reflected badly on Musk, but well within the realm of sane and forgivable behavior.

Musk has never said anything "transphobic", and the author's claim that he has speaks to the kind of totally intolerant speech-compliance she demands.

It speaks to someone too sensitive to tolerate views that deviate from those of a narrow ideological narrative, which explains why she 1. protects her tweets to not have to face criticism, 2. characterizes restoring free speech to Twitter as "wreaking havoc".
