It took a while to get there. One would think of end 80s / early 90s. Remember, there were probably only around 10000 (ten thousand, not ten thousands) Lisp Machines ever produced. A 40 bit Ivory 3 processor from Symbolics was basically slightly faster than a Motorola 68030 processor, but with larger memory capabilites. Memory was expensive on stock hardware, too - but not as expensive as the 48bit wide ECC memory on a Lisp Machine. Add to that a Megapixel screen, a large disk, a tape drive, a faster graphics card,...

There was little point investing money into a hardware market which did not produce cheaper and/or faster machines, given the small market.

There were a lot of interesting applications development on Lisp Machines, but there was no point to deliver them on that expensive hard- and software. Development environments were catching up. Common Lisp was actually designed to be able to deliver applications on many different platforms, even though its main influence was Lisp Machine Lisp.

So a $50k ART expert system development system was replaced by a low-cost CLIPS on machines with less hardware/software costs. It also was moved away from Lisp, as Lisp was extremely unpopular (and with almost no funding left) in the 90s.

Nowadays a native Lisp on a M2 processor from Apple is 1000 times faster than on the Lisp Machine from 1990. That's just a single CPU core, we are not even talking about GPU or Neural network functionality. Expensive 40 MB main memory from then is now 8 GB entry level.
It will explain anything immediately. Correctly, not necessarily. Did you check the explanation holds water? Seems like it's back to googling anyhow.

Not only caste, the hatred for minority (in India) has also made it’s way to the West. Some of them just can’t digest meeting the minorities as equals in the West. I remember reading jokes about Sikhs being taxi drivers on Twitter. Casual racism is just thrown around in conversations.
>Yes scientific papers are great, no I don't put too much weight on someone's take on hapiness, truth, or the fundamental nature of our universe just because they're wearing a lab coat, that would quite literally be thinking that the cowl makes the monk

Sounds a bit like a straw man to me. "Scientific fact" by definition is subject to change. The "scientific facts" we have right now are the best explanation for reality that we have. Nobody who isn't a researcher in a particular field has the required context to judge whether some fringe theories have the potential to displace the current consensus, so it's prudent to just accept the consensus as a layperson.
The Blind format rewards edgy comments. I don't think anyone would really advocate for lying during the recruiting process.

I fully stand with thezvi's points over at https://thezvi.wordpress.com/2023/02/20/on-investigating-con... ; especially 1 to 3:

1. Think for yourself, shmuck!

2. When it seems worthwhile, do your own research.

3. The ones telling you not to ‘do your own research’ are probably the baddies.
There's nothing like getting saddled with an 8am chemistry lab class on a Friday. Considering the deals your average college bar puts out on Thursday nights, odds are high either you or your lab partner are brutally hungover. You better enjoy smelling ethanol for the next 4 hours with that going on in your head.
regarding sex discrimination. Did you actually asked women in qa whether they chose to be in qa or were forced to be in qa or you came to this conclusion solely based on the observation that there were more women in qa than dev?
My anecdotal experience is that lot of south asian women choose to go in QA. I have several women in dev jobs coming to me asking for transfer in QA when they needed predictable office timing and wanted to concentrate more on their family lives but without losing thier touch from corporate jobs. I also have women transferring from QA back to dev jobs when their kids were slightly older and well adjusted to school when they needed more challenge.
I have had similar requests for going into program management jobs too for similar reasons.

Growth is the natural consequence of capitalism. More humans solving more problems means that we have more choices. Instead of going to your local post office for sending a telegram we now have smartphones. It's a choice that people did, to stop using paper letters to communicate.

Consumption is the basic principle of any modern economy because that's how you create jobs. Otherwise we have BS jobs, where what people have useless jobs they don't solve any problems.

For every thing you produce, someone has to buy it, and for every thing you buy someone has to make it.

In the USSR they didn't understand this concept and they just had jobs for the sake of jobs. Then you'll end up with warehouses full of useless products that none buy. Just to create jobs.

One example from the book Basic Economics of Sowell: the Ushanka hat where the skin of some animal would be used to make those typical Russian hats. The government would pay you for each individual animal skin you hunt. But there was a disconnect between animal skins killed, and hats sold. It's easier to hunt the animal than to sell the hat , and they'll end up with warehouses full of dead animals that would rot and never be used for hats.

What has growth to do with it? Capitalism would tell you to stop killing animals and do something else instead. The same thing that happened with sending paper letters and instead using smartphones. That's growth.
> I am increasingly worried about the “smart” CSS solutions.

I'm not worried.

> The spec is already huge, the selectors are hard to read and google, the interplay between various features is devilishly complex.

Actually things are getting less complex due the fact we don't need to use all of the hacks, work-arounds and polyfills that were once just what pretty much every web developer did not that long ago. And of course, the original sin of the misuse of HTML tables for layout.

Sure, it wasn't fun to deal with new specs coming out while trying to maintain existing code and attempting to understand when (or if) we can use the new stuff. Sometimes is was like trying to fly a plane while the plane is being retrofitted with new features.

The irony: many of the techniques described in the article is how we should have been doing things for along time. Hayden's article [1], which is the basis for this, was published nearly 10 years ago—these concepts aren't new.

I like what you and other sibling just regurgitate Wiki content. As another sibling properly notes - it run in a protected mode and had it's own drivers. It used DOS as a mere bootloader. Is your favourite Linux distro just a shell on top of GRUB?

First, the phrase "cherry-picked" implies that something has been removed from a context which changes its meaning. The quote I shared was from an email that Prince sent, and if anything, the full context enhances the point I was making.

Second, the fact that tech companies "do similar things far more often" is not a good thing. Creating an internal committee and slapping the words "trust and safety" on it does not replace due process. These big tech companies are role-playing as governments, but they are terrible at it, and when they fail, they face no consequences.

As far as "government is woefully inadequate in keeping the internet safe," is that really what you want the government to do? How far should the government be able to do to enforce "safety"?

Sounds a little suspicious to me.

Maybe the candidate is missing some information (references didn't go well for example). Why would a company spend all the time to interview someone they weren't going to hire? Even if Databricks found out later after the interview loop, they gain nothing by telling the candidate that specific reason for the rejection.

The article has a few errors/omissions about the so-called "kissing bug":

There is a family of insects, "assassin bugs", having a hypodermic proboscis, that manifest the "kissing bug" behavior. They land and pierce the skin with the proboscis. At 14 I was bitten on the arm. A burning sensation alerted me, whereupon I noted a young red-and-black assassin bug on my arm and brushed it off. In contrast my 8-year-old cousin was bitten by a large (1-1/2" long) assassin bug and screamed for an hour. There is no such thing as a "mild bite" and I fail to see how one could sleep through it. As well, the burning and pain is caused b/c the insect injects digestive enzymes into its prey to kill and eat it (like a spider). The larger the bug, the more enzymes.

The "kissing-bug" moniker dates from at least the early part of the previous century: a North American infestation of assassin bugs occurred (near Chicago IIRC) and it was indeed a newsworthy event: I once saw a copy of an old newspaper article about the outbreak.

The astonishing thing is how far north this was reported decades ago. It is only within the last 30 years that medical authorities have even begun to admit that Chagas Disease could be present in the continental USA and there was much debate about its presence in Texas, one of the southernmost states.
Counterexample: Started going to bed at a good time in college, gave me a reason to skip going out, and my brain performance unlocked into better focus, learning, and memory. Bonus was the classes were smaller.
It feels more like an alternative for the lxc/lxd/nspawn crowds who're using long-running containers in fixed setups, rather than ad hoc spinning up of a bunch of related containers for one particular (and temporary) task.
Another way to look at whether is extinction is fundamentally bad, is from the viewpoint of some (probably fictional) aliens watching us.

Let's say everyone decided end their own lives at the same time. Nobody is unhappy about it.

Is there any moral motive for aliens to intervene in a peaceful way? Perhaps discuss humanities possible futures with us. Give people a further interest in the future.

I am not asking whether it would be a moral imperative. Just would it be a moral good to convince people they have more happiness worth living for.

This plays out in a microcosm when someone sees a homeless person looking to jump off a bridge and intervenes to convince them not to. If they jump, they will die, but they won't feel any more pain - and obviously at the moment they are probably feeling a lot of pain or suicide wouldn't be the option they are seeking.

If you can lift a finger to same a person who wants to die, with their own cooperation, or a species, shouldn't you?

--

Another aspect is, a great deal of our happiness is due to sacrifices of those that came before us. And it mattered a lot to them that they survived and that we survived better.

Surely, if we have cooperated at all in taking from our parents, educators, mentors, and those that have worked hard for us, we owe them continued existence at some level. I am not saying that a terminally ill person can't morally choose to end their life.

But that happy healthy people should probably take into account that their happiness and healthiness came at a cost and for a reason they will negate if they choose to die out.

Fossil fuel companies certainly are ruthless. Though, there's no need for them to play pricing games with recycled plastic. Tax-wise, there is not nearly enough recycled plastic. It turns out most plastic cannot be recycled at all. A number of stories broke not too long ago that the myth of plastic recycling was pushed by oil industries to make everyone feel good about using plastic because they were then "recycling" it.

How did he destroy billions in value? He created the company and spun it up very effectively before being done in by run away valuations -- thank Masayoshi Son who is also a bit of a cowboy. The hostage tactics went both ways..

> same as the new-agey BS that permeated WeWork.

The thing is, this worked great for WeWork. Neumann successfully hyped it up into a global brand. The company still exists. People still enjoy using it. Some people like new-agey community vibes apparently, why is that bad? Apple wouldn't be Apple without some Steve Jobs mystique to capture the popular imagination either. These are lifestyle brands.

You could just work from a crummy McDonalds or your bedroom, nobody really needs a coworking space. Vibes are actually worth something.

> I think I might even be at the very least impressed if Neumann manages to destroy a ton of a16z's money and still pocket tens of millions or so.

I like how there are lots of stories on HN about founders who assume disproportionate risk getting completely screwed by investors and end up with nothing -- yet a guy who is a little bit more savvy is so easily painted as a villain. Ha.

For one thing, you can configure a DMARC policy without a reporting address. For another thing, you can use third-party services, such as https://dmarc.postmarkapp.com/, to aggregate DMARC reports for you (if you're fine with the privacy implications of that).

Respectfully, I'm finding the value of this blog post extremely difficult to understand. The author's arguments against gap just don't make sense and I question the logic of their entire design philosophy - the author dismisses gap and says 'The parent is in complete control and the child elements have no say in what gap is at any given moment."

...but that's exactly how a sound design system SHOULD work. Structural components (containers etc) SHOULD be in complete control of child distribution. I simply cannot imagine what a nightmare having to manage margin at an atomic component level for everything would be instead of just spelling out a few container components for them all to live in.

Furthermore the resistance to using the two display types that utilise the gap property (flex + grid) is absolutely bizarre. No sane person would avoid these tools as web dev without them is messy and utterly maddening, so this resistance makes no sense at all.

I disagree. SoftBank isn’t raising new funds. It doesn’t have a functioning mouthpiece [1]. Andreessen is still taken seriously as an investor and thought leader, despite its abysmal record.

I think hierarchy of needs comes into play here. You may not spend all that much time thinking about philosophy if you're foraging or farming, and busy with physical labor.

Also, messages get lost, and misinterpreted. Quickly. I do believe that most [non explicit cult] religious texts shouldn't be interpreted literally, but instead take them the lessons they teach, or are interpreted to be.
If you capture the carbon for example as carbon dioxide instead of methane "cuz entropy" need not apply.
For me, your approach makes the CSS harder to maintain. Pages have loads of repetition and patterns. I’d hope to find a good balance between DRYing up patterns that benefit from it, and leaving space for special cases. I find code patterns like the owl/.flow shown in the OP help greatly with that.

Your approach, redefining all the properties per class, echoes avoiding using parent+subclass relationships in OO style code. Sometimes you benefit from the generalisation of a class hierarchy, sometimes you don’t. A hard rule in either direction gets in everyone's way.
It's interesting that Redhat promotes this, despite having already invested quite a lot into systemd-nspawn for roughly the same purpose. Between it and lxd there's already some options for these sorts of simple, single-host container runtimes.
A crucial distinction. The contemporary shame mask in the US is declaring former signifiers of prestige "trashy" as soon as lower-class or less-cultured people gain access.
The lines in question:

.stack > * + * {
margin-block-start: 1.5rem;
}

I got it immediately because I think I've been doing something similar for a while. I identified the problem it solves. I understand that if you haven't encountered the situation, it's probably hard to decipher.

It reads like: apply a top margin to all direct children that are not the first one.

I write it like this:

.stack > :not(:first-child) {
margin-top: 1.5rem;
}

I probably should start using -block-start. I'll keep my selector though I think.

I didn't know about the default value parameter of --var, I'll probably use it too.
