It falls short in several key ways.

First, it has no macros. The ability to metaprogram in Python is practically nonexistent compared to Lisp.

Second, it has no usable lambda (being limited to a single expression in a non-expression oriented language. Most lisps heavily rely on the ability to pass around arbitrary functions whether named or not.

Third, it is slow. Your toy scheme implementation is probably going to be about as fast as Python and something like SBCL/Common Lisp will be literally 3-400x faster and that’s without mentioning that Python is limited to green threads. There’s no reason to limit yourself to such a slow language

Fourth, it lacks the interactive development environment of Common Lisp. Sue it has a REPL, but you can’t do all your coding against a live instance with fine-grained control of your updated code. This is hard to describe, but it’s a massive differentiator.

The most simple but one of the most effective tricks I learned from an "old sweat" when I was a green junior dev just starting out... keep a folder called notes, and each day create a date-numbered file in the format YYYYMMDD.txt.

Put any code snippets, git links, lessons learned, meeting minutes or basically anything interesting in there each day.

Then to access it - you can bash script search, e.g., to find anything you wrote in 2022, you'd simple type;

grep "whatever" 2022*.txt

It works like a charm, been using it for fifteen years.
I see people indoors with masks as well. The grocery store is about 20% people with masks. I guess if it has nothing to do with the pandemic, then there are a variety of reasons people do it now. I still think there is an element of the lasting imprint from the pandemic.
I’ve seen this app on my 14 year old daughter’s phone, and was curious about the development side of things.

It’s a bit curious as to why they use flutter - at first glance, the architecture is interesting. I appreciate the commitment to open source, it makes me feel better about the application and is a marked shift from snapchat, Tiktok, discord, et al’s approach.
Not me. Any work I'm doing for an employer is done solely on equipment they supply and everything else is done solely on my own equipment. Never the twain shall meet. So my personal machines are all 100% Linux, and my work machines are all whatever my employer wants them to be.

I guess I do have multiple partitions after all, they're just on different machines!

I read that differently. There are harder problems in NP, in the same way there are 7ft tall people in the set of people over 6ft tall. So ‘at least NP hard’ I understood as ‘in NP but maybe in a subset of NP that is harder’.
I looked into this a while back, and I believe there are a number of different autoimmune conditions that are definitely going up with no cause known (corroborated by multiple studies). One is linked

I also am a bit troubled by how quick people are to dismiss such studies. I think people are operating off of a prior of "big shifts in health don't just happen," which in my opinion is a demonstrably false prior. I think the default prior should be "We're in completely new health waters, testing in production, anything is possible and problems are known and not explained."

In particular nobody can explain why eyesight is getting drastically worse. Obesity in the developed world is a big unknown (I think even lab rats weigh more). I believe there's consistent evidence of allergies increasing. And the balance of evidence is that sperm counts are going down, but for whatever reason I think people assume that's a conspiracy theory or just are afraid to believe it.

I don’t understand. The blog author’s epistemological standard is set at the balance of evidence that we have available to us. I don’t think you can do better than that, else you’re left with sophistry, convenient falsehoods, and zealotry.

Who cares which “camp” you reason yourself into if you actually reasoned yourself into it using real arguments and scrutinized syllogisms?

Most people don’t do anything like that. We usually just defend our creature comforts or we, for example, decide what we want to eat and then work backwards to cling on to anything that seems like it might validate us.

Meanwhile, Have you read Ray Peat? He’s the opposite of someone reasoning about the balance of evidence which is why he spends most of his time talking about the bottom of the hierarchy of evidence; anecdotes and rat studies.
> Libraries like this are what keep me using React. They’re (imo) table stakes for building any serious project. I really want to use Svelte and Solid more, but

Nice catch, I hadn’t noticed that Torrents came with 180mms instead of 200mms. Even if they’re not amazing they keep my friend’s temps reasonable without making much noise.

The number of cases that will fit 200mms is tiny and none of them are particularly great which is a bummer.
Yeah don't get me wrong, I wasn't disagreeing. I think the lack of interoperability is a major risk to adoption, but I also understand why we don't have interoperability today and why we likely never will.

What I'd like to see password manager vendors like you do, though, is to push FIDO and the OS vendors to have richer APIs for interacting with the hardware components that can back keys. To be clear, I don't want to use Bulwark to manage or export passkeys in my iCloud Keychain (I'm confident that will never happen), but I want Bulwark to be able to create a passkey that is backed by a secure element in Mac OS, and then be able request a wrapped version of that key to be exported, and later imported into a TPM running on a Windows OS.
I share the view that I'm not going to trust Google or Apple with my passkeys, not for any ideological/trust/privacy reason but just not putting all my eggs in one basket.

I assume I'll use 1Password's implementation they're building, which should meet all my needs, provided they provide a mechanism to export (which I expect).

And I also assume a similar open-source solution will arise.

So I'm not worried about a loss of user control at all. As long as iOS, Chrome, Safari, and Android all allow integration with third-party passkey managers. And I don't see how that wouldn't happen.
Show HN: Supergile – Uber for professional software teams
Like in Uber, a driver by operating a car gives you a ride — at Supergile, a dedicated project manager by operating a remote team, delivers software that matches your requirements and quality standards.

As the project's complexity grows, a flat monthly rate is designed to make an effort predictable.

Things that make it better than a software agency:
- A curated network of professional software teams gives a virtually unlimited choice of technology stack and skills.
- Frees up customers from RFPs and assessments.
- Focus on operational efficiency - reflected in the pricing model.

Does it make sense? Would love feedback/thoughts. I target mid-level technical executives at customer-centric software companies/products — would you use a service like this? Why and why not?
David Graeber and David Wengrow would like a word with you regarding your simplistic, monotonic version of human history.

It's not a matter of "deserve" and "right to." What use is having a site, that places an artificial hurdle for no acceptable reason? What use is having visitors rage-close the tab they opened for one's website, in contempt and disgust?

Websites, for the most part, aren't composed and administered by government agencies, to provide beneficial information or services paid for by taxes (and it is instructive that federal agencies have been section 508 (of the Rehabilitation Act) compliant for decades, precisely because they are taxpayer funded and therefore have an obligation to make information and services accessible).

So why shoot themselves in the foot, from the get-go? It's not my right that you make your site readable to me. But if you want me to be a repeat visitor, then why make it a difficult and frustrating experience for me? Any person who produces such a site has misplaced priorities.
That's exactly the purpose of this measure - to prevent consumers from fully owning their device. Presumably the carriers are selling you the device at some discount for longer term loyalty (through constraining the phone). This is not a security measure and government agencies being able to bypass it seems irrelevant.
Half the engineers are made to believe they are God's gift to humanity and like so totally clever. But we all spend our time building banal and ultimately dumb shit nobody wants. But people construct their entire identity around tech anyway.

> even VC funding for starting a business is tied to this

This is the main problem.

Excluding VC, businesses exist to make profit. The purpose of IT and engineering is to enable that business or make it operate more efficiently - engineering and technology should never be a goal in and of itself.

Given this situation, the most efficient technology (that enables faster delivery of business software) would win. "Shiny" stuff would never win in terms of mindshare unless it's actually good and enables faster delivery than the status quo.

Now add VCs to the mix. Suddenly you have an infinite supply of free money that distorts the usual market dynamics, allowing businesses to keep operating with no regard to profitability. The downwards pressure of the market pushing for businesses to operate more profitably is no longer there. As an engineer, you no longer have the pressure of building technology for the purposes of making the business more efficient - you lost that valuable feedback loop.

Now run this for 10 years. Entire careers will be built on this - why even try to build a profitable business when you can be a "serial startup CEO" and merely use the right amount of shiny to solicit endless VC funding to continue the adventure? Imagine a well-meaning, budding engineer joining such a startup and learning such a corrupted idea of "engineering" with none of the usual objectives, pressures and feedback loops of engineering.

In the end, you end up with "senior" engineers (with over-inflated titles) whose entire careers are built on technology that wouldn't actually pass muster in an actual business under the normal market pressures. But they don't even know anything else or why that is wrong (because they've started their career during this charade and never had any taste of what real engineering is), so they keep pushing for these (now-inadequate) solutions, deluded that they are doing the right thing.
Descriptivists also say, 'this way works better'.
Am I the only person who would sometimes work from home before the pandemic? I don't understand the need to take an extreme position one way or the other.
> Apple no longer includes chargers in the box with iPhone purchases

Is this true? So you buy a $1,000 device, but then the battery runs out, and you can’t use your $1,000 device unless you pay extra for a charger?
1/ Task planning:
https://sunsama.com

Sunsama helps me proactively plan my "big rocks" for the week/day. I like that you can drag tasks to the calendar and timeblock them that way. it also tracks the time on each task which helps me calibrate how long things actually take.

2/ Inbox for Slack https://dispatch.do

I spend a TON of time in Slack. I used to feel distracted by unimportant messages and constantly worried about losing track of important messages. Dispatch helps with both issues:

i. Filtering out distraction: it's much easier to separate out the important messages from everything else. I can set rules and filters to route messages into different "Inboxes". e.g. Important, Clients, Product, Other, etc.

ii. Keeping track of messages: it treats messages much like an email inbox. Messages stay "open" until I explicitly mark them "done".
This line of thinking is what will ultimately end us as a species.

There are a number of systems that must run in a loop. When that loop stalls, because labor is part of that loop, and illiquidity occurs, and people can't get food. You get a deflationary spiral, and everything breaks down from there. The only offset would be printing a massive amount of money, but then you have rational pricing (that cost vs the product) go out the window. Rational pricing is required to properly allocate resources in a scarce world. Its a very fine balance keeping enough liquidity in the economy so this doesn't happen, and we've all see how well that's turned out.

This leads to the economic calculation problem where the policy maker has to balance on a knifes edge using lagging indicators (without futuresight), where you either get hyper-inflationary currency death spiral, or you get a deflationary death spiral from the ever closer margins over time.

This has been a known problem for over 100 years, with no solution found. Several non-market socialist economies based on this have failed in that time, each time caused death on a large scale, what do you think will happen when its the reserve currency of the world and you do this?
I’ve been predicting that for OIDC for a while: “Starting January 1st 2025 the use of Google accounts to log in to third party services will require a premium subscription unless those services subscribe to Google Authentication services…” Wham, now Google levies a tax on all SaaS vendors or users that allowed Google login.

It’d be a great way to monetize gmail after AI ruins their search business.

Computers are annoying and so people will always tend to trade freedom and autonomy for convenience. But if you do that, realize that once you are locked in that relationship will either be directly monetized or (often worse) abused for surveillance. A certain amount of inconvenience is probably going to always be the cost of privacy and actually owning your data.

An even shadier thing OIDC providers could do is start logging into user services as the user to spider them for surveillance data. I’m sure the terms of service allow that. The ToS always allows everything, especially for anything free.

I actually use Kotlin. :)

I am happy with either Kotlin or Java though.

Reasons for Kotlin is mostly nullability typing though @NotNull gets you pretty far in Java these days with the tooling configured correctly.

I like the syntax a bit more and extension functions are a nice sugar vs util classes with static functions.

The main reason however is I have a lot more luck convincing Typescript developers to try Kotlin than Java which is relevant when most of my colleagues have primarily done Typescript.

Either or though IMO, both are great choices for backend development and they interoperate really well.
No. He's not left leaning by any means. He's been openly promoting racial theories, pushing up far-right radicals and lashing out at people. It seems you forgot that the whole 'pedo guy' lawsuit was literally just a few years ago by your own standards which alone showcased his true colors.

> Which is a reflection of an intensely unequal distribution of productivity and value creation.

Well, I can't disagree with that claim. But it's not really all that interesting, in and of itself. The question is: to what extent, and with sort of multiples, should differences in wealth/income reflect the distribution of productivity/value creation?

There are a wide range of answers to that question, all the way from pure commune-style uniformity to contemporary US "capitalism". The only thing that is abundantly clear is that neither of these extremes work all that well for the majority of the people who live under them.
My memory is fuzzy here, but I recall at some point there was a big edit war over the Hot Dogs page. Yes, hot dogs.
