The commercial aspect is not a problem in my opinion (but again english is not my main language so I might have conveyed the wrong tone). The issue is the pricing model which may work for established company ready to invest money from the start, but is simply out of touch with independant developers and small companies exploring the possibility of using Common Lisp.

Open sourcing Lispworks and selling support contracts and an enterprise version (with CAPI, CORBA, etc.) would make more sense. The world has changed: all other languages have open source implementations; most servers are open source, most databases too. It is hard to convince a company to use Common Lisp, but even harder to justify paying for a proprietary implementation.

And for me personally, Lispworks would force me to buy two licenses (Linux and FreeBSD) for personal use, and two for my solo company. It simply does not make any sense financially speaking.
This is surprising to me too as Google and social media sites have methods for approximating age so they should be able to easily discern all the under 13s using their products.

I expect that at some point law firms will invest enough to do a class action suit to show these tech firms knowingly allowed and even marketed to under13 kids.

That and it seems like as fraud as advertisers are paying to show ads to 13+ and they are being shown to kids.

This seems like a large amount of tort given tens of millions of kids.

Or maybe once more damages studies come out, state attorneys general will sue like they did for tobacco and opioids.
> our profession is not respected and has no social status
I'm going to disagree. I'm also going to assume there's a bit of hyperbole here. While the profession doesn't carry the same clout as a doctor or lawyer, people will generally think you are intelligent and educated when you tell them you are a software developer. Also if you work at a well-known company, and especially if you work on a well-known project, people will look up to you.

The profession itself is mid-tier, but there are plenty of opportunities within the field to have a high status position.

There are some theoretical approaches that you could use to make e-beam a lot faster, and I'm not sure anyone has really explored them due to the unreasonable effectiveness of photolithography. Basically, SEMs and e-beam machines today use a low- or medium-power electron beam that they treat as a static beam, and scan slowly to keep the "static" assumption. If you instead think if it as a traveling particle stream, you may be able to "pipeline" the process of steering the beam as it travels down the microscope, allowing you to crank up the power and run the process a lot more quickly. It would be very cool to see a startup pursue super-fast e-beam and make it work, and it's a niche I'm excited to see explored.
> pandas, scipy and other key libraries that were just easier to use in Python than (for instance) R

Depends on what you're doing. dplyr/ggplot2 are so so much better than pandas but sklearn is pretty rocking (and better than caret).

R the language is pretty annoying relative to python, but I'd actually argue that pandas is the worst of both R and Python, in terms of the API at least.

The standard model is far from a 'theory of everything'. To name but a few problems:

* gravity
* massive neutrinos
* dark matter
* dark energy

It is also a highly parameterised model tuned to fit the data.

The biggest concern is whether we can realistically probe the failings of the standard model using a collider at ~TeV scale? If that is the case, then the standard model may be the best model of particle physics we will ever achieve.
I think any non-scientific publication is someone's hunch more than less, and that's okay, because it's not a scientific publication. It's not peer reviewed either!

The Idea That ChatGPT Is Simply Predicting the Next Word Is Misleading at Best
It’s not that easy. The problem with letting enforcers use judgment is it leads to selective enforcement, where the criteria becomes “who broke the rules” as much as “were rules broken.”

It opens the door to all sorts of bad outcomes. For instance, being a good debater/lawyer becomes at least as important as being a good coder.

I’m not saying judgment has no place, just that it’s not a panacea. It has its own unfairness.

> We should foster a world full of people who use their brains to interpret rules.

It's a competition. Competitions have rules, some of which are simply artificial barriers because of "competition". You can work to change the rules before agreeing to them.

If you disagree that a rule makes sense, provide your disagreement before entering.

Waiting until after you have found to have broken the rules you agreed to, to whine is simply unsporting and childish.

If the rule-breaker is not disqualified, it's unfair to the other participants who worked under those onerous rules to compete only to find out that one participant did less work by breaking a rule.

The rule gives a list of examples that are not allowed because they generate HTML.

But no one is stopping you from building a "full modern standard library". I am doing just that with https://github.com/galdor/tungsten. Of course it would be nice to have a large company do all the work as it is the case for Go, but it is not going to happen. As always, you either do the work yourself or pay someone to do it.

The specification is limited, no doubt about that, but I am convinced that any modernization effort would end up in a huge mess with everyone trying to inject their own preferences from the languages they already know with no regard for the spirit of the original specification.
A common approach is to use multiple electron beams in parallel ([1] is up to 262144 beams!). This is starting to be used commercially to create the masks for photolithography.

You're not wrong that there will be some kind of difference in how they grow up, but I think each generation has grown up exposed to new technologies from birth that the previous one wasn't. My thought is that it would be really unusual if, after decades and decades of "kids these days..." that this is the time it is finally right that the current generation are in some way worse or more badly behaved or whatever negative connotation people may be using at any given point.

There's a lot of "I think..." in this so obviously this is totally based on speculation and from what I've seen in my encounters with Gen Z, where they generally seem pretty good and certainly no worse behaved than my fellow millenials :)
I don't think the logic here works.

This is not about 'the specific proportion of disruption' - it's about impersonating police and emergency services.

The 'disruption' is not just measured in 'how many calls and how much that disrupts' - it's a measure of civil disruption and confusion.

"The case discusses a total of about a dozen calls."

This is about a call per hour (!) because of a parody.

First - a call an hour over 'confusion of some web site' is quuite high, and that alone is materially disruptive.

Imagine having a startup, and your assistant is literally fielding a call every hour about some confused granny, immigrant/non english speaker, or other random person? That's a lot.

It's also an indication of now nutty the situation must be and how such a large number of people were confused.

But that's a bit besides the point, because it's clear that the man was ultimately impersonating a police officer to the point where obviously mebers of the community were confused as to the nature of what is going on. That's bad.

Frankly, I can hardly believe what I'm reading about all of this.

I think 'online' - people take academic positions that are detached from reality.

Coupled with HN's obsessive libertarian/hacker streak, and you have an entire thread taking an absurd position, supporting a who's impersonating police, causing obvious confusion in the communnity.

"The police had no urgent need to take action"

? They are literally getting a call an hour about some confusing over their online presence. They absolutely have to respond. This is not just some 'civic office' thing it's the frigging police aka 'emergency services'.

"The charge is that the police did not like being parodied"

No, there was someone impersonating the police wiht a whacko account - you can't do that. Legally, morally, pragmatically.

I'm sure this guy probably thought he was just 'being funny' which is fine, and I think they should have just told him to put 'parody account' on the posts so that people knew it was a parody and that would be the end of it.

If you want to find out how this works, go ahead and do the same to your local police. Make a 'parody account' (that looks identical to the real one) and really push the boundaries of what you think is 'free speech' and put out some seriously dark humour about specific individuals.

Then see what happens.

Again - a legit pardoy without confusion, 100% fine, but this guy should have the self awareness to realize what he's done. But instead he's trying to be a victim, claim that he has arbitrary rights to do things he shouldn't do, to make himself the center of atteniton and rake in a few million dollars.

He should have apologized and changed the account.

Also FYI I don't see why the police should have put this guy in jail, he shuld have been out on bail at minimum while it got cleared up. Frankly he should have been just told to 'take it down or mark it as pardoy' and that could have been the end of it right there.

If he opens a true parody account that is labeled as parody and then he gets into trouble, we can take up the discussion again under the premise 'cops won't allow parody'.
I worked at Microsoft later than that and my team (most of the times there is no "Microsoft did X", it is a team, department or product decision) tried a variation on Zero Bugs policy. We either fixed immediately, closed as won't fix (and here there's the question of correlating future related bugs with different symptoms) or turn into a new feature request of the fix requires bigger changes but is still needed. It worked for a while, but as others said it is hard to maintain this policy over time for a complex product.

Doesn't make sense! In short, the author wants to load all data into main-memory and work upon it. That is possible, if the data is small enough and the main-memory is big enough. Often it is not and therefore programmers - with enough time and experience - use paging and caching.

The actual problem of the described organization is there data organization. Not UNIX.
Yes, my remark was not very precise. The two words seem to have different roots ("jarl"/"earl" < Old Engl. "eorl" = "brave man, warrior, leader, chief") vs. ("alderman" = "ald" + "man" = "old man").

Instead of writing:

"during the end of the period the title was shortend into 'earl'"

I should have written:

"during the end of the period 'ealdorman' was replaced by the etymologically unrelated, but phonetically close and shorter 'eorl', that later turned into 'earl'."

What I wanted to say is that "earl", though somewhat anachronistic, can still be an exceptable translation of "jarl". When the emphasis is on contemporary jargon, it might perhaps best be left untranslated. Another alternative would be to translate it with "count", because contemporary Latin sources sometimes use the word "comes" to refer to a jarl; but this translation has its own difficulties because "count" entered the English language also late via the French "comte". The only criteria in favour of "duke" is the fact that this title was later often used in Scandinavia instead of "jarl" for functionally similar offices. Another option is to translate "jarl" with "chief", which corresponds to a more general early usage of "jarl"; however, this would indicate too low a status for most of the Anglo-Saxon period.

My personal preference for the Anglo-Saxon period is to leave it untranslated. If someone insists on a translation, "earl" would still be the best fit in my opinion.
And such a person after being disqualified should learn their lesson to read and understand the rules thoroughly.

The rule in question even distinguishes between "Template engine websites" and "sites that generate HTML"; if you refuse to read beyond the first comma you are being disingenuous let alone being ignorant.

> It's not irrelevant: it's the crux of the issue. The rule was clearly written by someone that lacks in-depth technical skills and is nonsensical.

That's irrelevant - all the other competitors had to labour under the burden of the rules, allowing one of the competitors to violate the rules gives that competitor an unfair advantage.

If you want to remove a rule that is nonsensical, you do it before you compete, you don't try to get it removed after you have gotten an unfair advantage by breaking it, because they it is too late for the other competitors to get the same advantage.

Also, Ambient Weather apparently also started selling rebadged sensors from someone besides Ecowitt.

I’m much more upset at the cruelty and hypocrisy kids display (and of course by extension the adults that grow no wiser) in that when I was on the Internet as a kid you were a loser and loner. And now if you’re _not_ on the Internet enough you’re a loser and loner.

Have to admit that the movie Black Phone was much better than I thought because the children were portrayed very realistically in their dynamics and yet still we were reminded of their vulnerability in society as those without many rights or privileges that adults have. Furthermore, the child abuse… I don’t even flinch at some of the most brutal violence in media anymore because it seems so comical typically but I felt sick during that part.

Horror to me is reality oftentimes I guess and much of why I watch horror is to desensitize myself a bit about the horrors of our world.

He already did great things in the past. I liked him a lot before university.

There is too much self-esteem in those young guys. And they blindly trust every new framework that shows up on the market. Also they have excellent grades in university and get offered a lot of money. Somehow guys from management and HR like them. For me there was not much chance to mentor anything.

I could talk more about young guys being problematic... but to me this was extraordinary and somehow related to the things people complain about Mercedes software.

For me two things seem to be dysfunctional:
1) University today and in this case the University closest to Mercedes headquarter
2) HR (as usual...). Things like "practical experience with multi-threaded UI performance improvements" in a CV somehow clicks with HR. At the moment I have to deal with a guy who dislikes databases and instead of adding a column to a table wants the database-server internally to query his webservice when someone selects something from the table. I bet Mercedes HR will love this when he writes a nice line about that in his CV...
