While I had a class in '94 using LISP, it wasn't until dabbling with using "compute pi using pi/4 = 1/1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 ..." as a replacement for FizzBuzz. In 2013 (and I can point to the date) I was also playing with Clojure and wrote:

(defn pi
([] (float (* 4 (pi 1 0.01 0 true))))
([term tol accum pn]
(let
[t (/ 1 term)
a ((if pn + -) accum t)]
(if (< (* 4 t) tol)
a
(pi (+ term 2) tol a (not pn))
)
)
)
)

While I won't claim that that is beautiful Clojure, the `((if pn + -) accum t)` part was a lightbulb moment for me about how LISP and functional programming really worked.

With Java 8 (and beyond) I've become comfortable with passing around functions themselves or creating a Map<String, Function> or having an enum with a function field.

if (type == enum.FOO) {
UnaryOperator<String> trim = s -> s.replaceFirst("^0+", "");
idFun = trim.compose(DTO::getFooNum);
} else {
idFun = DTO::getBarNum;
}

// ...

Set<String> ids = results.stream().map(idFun).collect(Collectors.toSet());

As to LISP-ish concepts with {} syntax... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwartzian_transform

@sorted = map { $_->[0] }
sort { $a->[1] <=> $b->[1]}

Outside of major cities and very rural areas maybe. NYC lives and breathes on bodegas. Many very small towns will probably ONLY have a 'convenience' store, with an actual grocery store being many miles away. My family's mountain cabin is 5 miles from a convenience store, but 25 miles from a grocery store.

In these situations Convenience stores probably have a very small section of fairly durable produce, maybe some frozen meat but probably some lunchmeat, certainly things like toilet paper, bread, cheese, eggs, snack foods, household cleaners. Certainly not the kind of selection you'll get out of your kroger's but enough to get by. (the place near my family cabin also has a small selection of fly fishing gear during the 'season' swap for some wintery items during the winter)
This isn't Pixar's first bad or mediocre movie—Cars 2 was straight up bad, and Monsters University and The Good Dinosaur were both mediocre. Coming up after the release of some really solid titles, I'm not too worried.

By definition this should be a very small subset of drivers, since before as you claim 'roads were empty'. If most drivers stayed at home they should not got those bad habits.

Very surreal this discussion, very US specific too. Here in Europe, in past 3 years tons of new cycling infrastructure, either wider roads or parts of roads taken from cars and given to cyclists (ie 1 lane instead of 2 lane roads). The goal isn't to move traffic asap, but rather make coming into cities as annoying as possible, so key intersections have in incoming directions green light ie for 10 seconds.

And no, not seeing any increase in aggression neither. But then again Europe is massive and culturally extremely diverse, and I haven't visited more than 10 countries in past 3 years so somewhere this may be valid, but its not an overall trend.
After reading this I bought a pair, you were right they are great.
Last time I fiddled with it, was when we moved domains and our webviews stopped working. They i) did not follow the redirects we had in place, and ii) did not allow loading the new URL without whiltelisting that domain/url somewhere in the source-code.

IIRC whitelisting was the default in webviews; not sure if it still is, or if our expert Android dev configured it this way, but even getting a build that allowed to load content from our new domain required a new build. (Let alone that someone, even if we had links or such in our about.html, would be able to navigate there).
oops, mis-typed that!
I work for a major foundry and fonts are ludicrously complex for a ton of reasons, but for the most part TTFs use quadratics, but our designers exclusively use cubics (postscript outlines) at design time and there is a conversion process to fit them as quadratics. On ultra lowend devices, having quadratics renders faster and the hinting works better, but if you're a designer consuming fonts, you should stick with OTFs as it is what the designer intended.
How old was MosaicML? How many customers did they have? Revenue? Profits? This feels like pure hype for LLMs to be honest. Good for the founders of MosaicML to exit at the top, but I'd bet good money that DataBricks winds up writing this off in a year or two max.
A bunch of bureaucrats somehow outsmarting one of the most well resourced and talented machineries out there is the thing I am skeptical about. The two systems are not equal by a long shot.
Sure but reading the guidelines that Apple representative was clearly mistaken. Unless they said "we acknowledge what the guidelines say but they are incorrect", it just seems like poor developer relations comms (from Apple, never!).

I can't find the bit from the dev you're referring to so don't know if they have screenshots of it in writing or something, however, what I suspect is more likely (based on my experience talking to Apple reps about similar things) is that they gave a very charitable description of their feature, and the rep gave a non-committal "sounds like it could pass, try submitting it".

I don't get why the developer is so convinced that their tip system for tipping people based on their activity on their app is not tipping for "digital content". Unless you can only tip randomly with no control over who it goes to, or tipping is for the user's activity off-app, digital content (i.e. posts etc) are literally the only thing you could be tipping for.
Python isn’t as powerful as lisp so you end up standing on your head to do some of the things that are so straightforward in lisp.

I suppose using python might make it easier for some people to translate what they learned in class into their work, at least if that is in python.

Python has gobs of libraries so it’s easier to write complex programs that can benefit from that than it is to try the same in lisp.

I'm sympathetic to Jeff's position, but this is I believe the third post from this individual about this topic to reach the HN front page in the last week.

At this point I feel like there's no more blood to be wrung from this stone. Jeff is free to take his ball and go home with it - just like Red Hat, in fact - but I think we're past the "this is notable news" phase and another post from Jeff about his frustrations doesn't really further the conversation.

Exactly. IEX exchange is relatively new, and their big innovation is that they use long spools of fiberoptic wire to delay their user's connections, thus creating an even playing field.

"The reduction in trading costs (spreads) is broadly consistent with recent
theories on how speed advantages may be used to exploit mechanical arbitrage opportunities. These theories suggest that market makers face adverse
selection from fast traders even in the absence of traditional “fundamental”
informed trading. For instance, Budish et al. (2015) defnes “quote sniping”
as the mechanical arbitrage of taking “stale” quotes before market makers can
cancel. In his Comment Letter on IEX’s Exchange Application, Eric Budish
argues that IEX’s speed bump may be able to mitigate quote sniping as it
allows IEX’s pegged orders to avoid executing against market orders at stale
prices.7 Moreover, cross-sectional di˙erences in spreads in response to IEX’s
protected quote are consistent with recent theory suggesting that exchange
speed is a double-edged sword for market makers (Menkveld and Zoican,
2016). On one hand, faster exchanges allow market makers to update their
quotes faster, reducing spreads. On the other hand, higher exchange speed
results in a higher probability of quote sniping. Hence, the results support
this more nuanced view of the net e˙ects of speed on trading costs. "
At least in the UK and France, a fair proportion of "convenience stores" are owned by the big supermarket chains and stock a subset of the products that you get in a large store.

I really love this project and exactly what it’s trying to do.

There’s many things like this that I wish existed that make prototyping easier and faster and infrastructure a little bit nicer to use.

My concern is that because it’s a Nerfed version of the most basic/powerful/flexible implementation that is expected for a RESTful LAMP/SOAP application, it’s not gonna find its way into production applications, and as a result is going to be stuck as kind of prototyping tool.

My question to the author is have you figured out how to prevent that?
Yeah, happens every summer to me.
Rural Canada.
On a lake shore.
30km from one of Canada's "Top 50" cities.

Where I used to live, I had 2 options for internet access.
A Wireless ISP that uses a parabolic antenna pointed at a water-tower about ~20km from my home; or a cell-phone based internet connection.

The WISP allowed me on average 300kb/s transmissions.
The Cell-Phone allowed me between 1.5Mb/s and 7Mb/s (to a max use of 5GB/month).

So 50Mb/s is an incredible upgrade.
Thats because its unoptimized, right? My impression is that the Falcon GPTQ (and 8 bit bnb inference?) code is just immature.
> I do not think overt messaging was the main reason Strange World flopped (although it probably was the case for Turning Red)

What overt messaging was in Turning Red? In any event, the reason that one flopped in theaters was that it also released simultaneously on Disney+, where AFAIK it has been very popular.
> Computer Modern is awful; its optical sizing is all wrong, far too thin and with too much stroke thickness variation.

You are supposed to fine tune the font constants yourself for your specific printer when installing TeX and METAFONT on your system. If your pre-generated fonts look awful, try using them on a device similar to the ones which was used by the font packager.

This article seems to be based on a butchery of statistics, for the sake of a headline. It's referring to total deaths, not per capita, let alone per pedestrian. The article breathlessly claims that, "...more than 7,500 pedestrians were killed by drivers last year — the highest number since 1981."

Not only has the population increased by more than 100 million people since 1981, but the number of pedestrians has increased even faster than the number of people has, with ever more people going carless - especially in some of the largest and most densely packed cities, like NYC.

That these values are staying so low seems to be the real story, as it would seem to indicate that cities are doing a great job of adjusting to an increasing pedestrian population. But, if it bleeds - it leads, I suppose. Perhaps with the modern addendum that if it doesn't bleed, then just splash some ketchup on it.
Providing a natural language interface (NLI) to <insert-popular-platform> could be extremely valuable for platforms that satisfy the following criteria:

- The platform has a well documented open API

- The platform has a shitty or complicated UI

- Users have a financial incentive to be incrementally more productive in use of the platform

- Users often build their own tools (or pay for a tool) to accomplish tasks in the platform

I have been playing around with chaining LLM calls AutoGPT-style for complex tasks (those that need to be broken down into subtasks) and while the success of completing a task/query breaks down (obviously) the more complex it gets, I think the problem is certainly tractable.

It seems like there could be excellent acquisition plays here if you target a specific platform (for example, LinkedIn, Quickbooks, Salesforce, etc.) and provide a state-of-the-art NLI that actually works with the complex tasks.
american? did you get the hybrid that can withstand the blight?
If you pull up behind a car stopped at a pedestrian crossing, your assumption should be they are stopped for a pedestrian.
Given that pedestrian (and especially child) visibility is so low in these gargantuan vehicles, I don't see how you can make such a definitive statement absolving their fault in causing collisions without data.
Demystifying burnout – A deep dive into its symptoms and remedies
Another note on the refrigeration issue - I get around predominantly by bike, and if I need to I have a soft cooler (like delivery people use) that I can put an ice pack in to transport frozen goods. But last night I went out with just a backpack in 80F heat and bought ice cream that survived the 20 minute trip home just fine.
To be fair the speed on that road varies greatly (0 to 70) depending on the time of day. It was raining so I was puttering along.
It seems like laws about how data gets handled are pretty much not real laws, due to there being almost no enforcement. So, most companies handle their data in a fairly careless way

It might be illogical for companies to invest more into their IT infrastructure if there isn't a good reason to do so. I mean, even massive customer data leaks go basically unpunished, so how do you justify the mitigation expenses at the board meeting when shareholders are already mad about the lack of growth last quarter?
Yea, this story sadly highlights the difference between how the mainstream media reports stories and how a real reporter would approach the story. Radiolab/NPR is similarly captured, they spent an entire episode on this and expended very little time in thinking about how terrible this was for society, instead focused on celebrating bullies.
In my experience, many issues have been caused by removing code based on assumptions it isn't used/has no effect/has been superseded, while there aren't many issues caused by letting dead code hang around a bit.
All while many states have increased funding.

Here in Florida the cops are complete dead weight, they used to enforce DUIs religiously Friday / Saturday night. Now you will barely see anyone pulled over and definitely a marked increase in suspected DUI drivers in the early hours (2-4am).

We literally have people planning open street races and shut downs on Facebook groups, and the cops do absolutely nothing.
To be clear, Starlink is already doing this. Their satellites have laser links that connect them to each other.
XML does not have support for schemas either. XML Schemas is a separate spec (and actually not the only one, there were few competing ones).

I'd use JSON schema over XML schema any day. And I read and wrote many XML schemas and still do sometimes. JSON schema actually built by sane people. If that required a decade, so be it.
> why not just allow them to charge more for full-service

Because they would, and this is the main reason voters have rejected self-service in the past in Oregon. It's not like they would lower the price for self-service, they'd just raise it for full service. So of course people tend to vote to keep full service prices the same.
It seems that every week we hear about a different opinion on this subject...
> Fedora kinda... sits in the middle of that. It updates to latest version every 6 months

It's even more in the middle, Fedora can update to the latest versions of packages as long as its not a major package and its an fairly standalone package. Fedora pulls new kernels as an example.

It's release timetable also suits GNOME, Fedora comes out about a month after every GNOME release, with that version of GNOME.
The increased distance something must be from a larger car for it to be visible also contributes to accidents.
> Are you suggesting that privilege-escalation attacks are not security risks?

Nope. What I'm suggesting is that threat modelling is important. If attack vectors were classified equally based on technicalities we would have infinite surface area. Kiosk bypass might be vaguely categorisable alongside things like polkit exploits but they are not equivalent in any normal threat model.
I hope I'm not misunderstanding this, but isn't the current arrangement perfectly valid under GPL?
GPL states:

- If I provided _modified_ binaries

- I also have to provide the sources

That's what's happening now for people that can download the binaries.

What happened before was:

- _Anyone_ could download the sources

(Not a GPL requirement).

So, now, IIUC if you can download the binaries you can download the sources.
If you can't download the binaries (not a customer, for instance) you can't download the sources.

The contract termination is not related to GPL in this sense.
> You won't find a professional type designer with kind words to say about Computer Modern (though they are generally too polite to say anything about it).

“Everyone agrees with me, but nobody will say it publicly.”
The big difference between open air laser and microwave links is that one of them doesn't require licensed spectrum. The costs of doing it will be much lower.
> People already enable pgo and lto which dramatically makes their build times worse all the time

No. Not "all the time". Even the cases you listed are fairly unique corner cases.

> When large objc codebases (apple, meta, google scale code bases) ship frameworks and apps they basically can’t do so without this sort of thing

Apple does this not because the code would not be shippable, but because doing so for an OS once before shipping is a useful performance optimisation. Source: I used to work on the OS X performance team.

Haven't heard that FB needs to do this, though their mobile development practices are so fubared that I wouldn't be surprised.

The case that I do know about where they absolutely had to do crazy things to be shippable (more precisely: to remain below the iOS AppStore cellular download limit, a P1) was Uber. But that wasn't Objective-C, that was their Swift rewrite.
Laughably the CDC's site is down now! You can google "cdc data on pedestrian traffic deaths".
'But they're monetizing you!'
'And I give a crap why?'

I Admire this approach to life. I probably fall in the middle somewhere.

Hey I'm the one who wrote that tweet.

Mike, who first noted this on Mastodon, just updated his tweet (toot?) to say that his contacts at Red hat confirmed that this is a bug, the dev Subscription is still limited to 16 servers.
IIRC webview, by default, requires a dev to whitelist domains. Maybe that has changed, IDK.

But finding an example where you can navigate elsewhere is not proof that all webviews are broken; maybe they have this "security issue" by default and allow a dev to tighten it (bad sec. practice IMO), and maybe android versions or SDK-versions differ in how they adhere, IDK. But the times that I encountered this and fiddled with it, it was a PIAS to even allow loading a page from another domain.

https://youtube.com/shorts/0dKrUE_O0VE
The issue here is the GPL and what does it provide, freedom wise , for a system that is built of other contributors who also released their work under the GPL. It is a bit funny to me that red hat wants to kill off clones of their os and plenty of people think this is ok and seeing it as freeloading because red hat gives back which I would say they may be required based on the GPL and their business model. Could the Linux foundation move to subscription base and charge red hat based on they also give back and suddenly require subscriptions? This though isn’t the first time I have seen the same story so I am less worried. I remember red hat initially moving to their enterprise release and there was quite a few months of unknown what people would do after rh9 - I suspect this will also work itself out. If red hat wants to be more closed source they should build off of FreeBSD or something that can be less opened.
Note that for (1), you're going to have to explain your logic there, because retina displays still need subpixel rendering. They're nowhere near the print industry's standard 300 dpi, they're (a little less than) 300 ppi. For a "three different colours arranged in in blocks of four" screen, you'd need closer to 1200ppi before "we don't need subpixel rendering" is actually true. Until then, the raster tragedy may become less noticeable to people who are used to reading simplistic orthographies (like English), but it's very much still there for more complex orthographies (like, say, almost every middle-eastern, asian, and east-asian orthography)
Old laws get overwritten, edited, and removed all the time.m, after review and discussion.
This is not the best design, you can still go full speed through it. Much better ones actually force you to slow down, ie sub 30kmh otherwise your suspension, tires etc will get hammered a bit (or more). There are numerous ways how to do it, ie central island is wide, island's walls are high and steep, you can have speed bumps before it etc. Its has been done elsewhere and it works.
