I think your last sentence is usually the culprit. Person gets a set of contradicting constraints. Person wants to poke at the contradiction before starting the actual work. Person doesn't have the power to just make the call on their own so goes to direct managers, PMs, teammates, or whoever are providing the competing directions causing the issue. Turns out they didn't notice the issue (they never talk) and also turns out they also don't have the power to just make the call.

When I became a manager, I found the same. Managers need to know what's going on broadly (which is doable, takes work, and some managers do) and to not shirk from pointing out misalignments across projects (which is harder, involves stepping on toes such that your project is better but your day longer, and most managers do not do). I don't think I ever struggled with the idea that this was hard, but I've always despised when my managers/PMs wouldn't do their one part and voice it to the next level above.

I can search my author (me), I can search by date, I can search by what files I touched. It's lovely.

HN is different from Twitter. The reason users (correctly) flag such comments here is that we're trying for a specific kind of site (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). One thing I often say (to a certain type of commenter) is that this isn't an ethical or moral rule—it's more like a game. Different games have different rules. If you're playing chess you don't get to tackle the bishop.

If Garry or anyone else had posted that on HN, users would certainly have flagged it, and mods wouldn't override that.

After seeing the inefficiency and incompetence of government bureaucracies for so many years, I’ve really come around to this idea. I don’t think we should have a libertarian free-for-all, because that carries its own problems. But I do think a great deal more policy could be effectuated through market-based mechanisms and private rights of action instead of clueless and corrupt functionaries.

Nobody’s buying at $1000/month but “giving them half off” makes them think they’re getting a deal.

What they don’t know is they could just have a file on their computer named “is this offensive (open when drunk).txt” with contents that read “yes”.

Size/weight wasn't an issue as long as you were basically talking about a car-phone which was a valid but specific use-case. (Back in the day, my senior manager would occasionally give me rides from my car dealer and he'd put me on the phone with various senior sales people if there was something he wanted me to have a conversation with.) But you're right that the phone plans were also out of reach for all but execs and very high net-worth individuals. Heck, until the late 90s or so, cell phone usage was pretty expensive for a random person for all but very occasional use.

Nobody is saying let's ditch the Olympics and everybody should take roids. Behind the scenes, so many athletes are already enhancing themselves during the off season in so many sports, this is an attempt to "legalize it."

I'd like to know where the line on enhanced will be drawn - will they allow for robots to compete?

Also, this sounds good:

> The Enhanced Games have been designed so they can be hosted at a Division One university campus, its website said, avoiding the need to build new stadiums and push cities into debt. It will also mean athletes can be paid fairly...

It's like a more sustainable, equitable Olympics that's happens to have a vice. But will people care enough to watch? The market will decide.

Both of those are in standardization, not yet part of the Wasm spec. Google has more of a "Ready! Fire! Aim! Fire again!" approach and is more readily amenable to releasing implementations of unfinished specs, where Apple has more of a "Ready! Aim! Aim! Fire!" approach and is generally reluctant to do that. (I can't speak for Firefox.)
The readtables and reader macros are entirely independent of Common Lisp compilers. The compilers work on the representation (that is, trees of cons cells) that is produced by the reader, which is after the readtables and reader macros have done their work.

If you are thinking of a Common Lisp compiler as working on a text file, you're thinking about it wrong. In Common Lisp, you can invoke the COMPILE function on a lambda expression that you cons up at runtime and that never is in a textual representation.

As a general rule, don't reimplement a Lisp except as a learning exercise (in which case, you're not going to reimplement Common Lisp; it's too big.)

Super unpopular opinion:

Most churches (with the obvious exception of megachurches amongst others) do more good than harm. I feel like they are good for local communities because its one of the few places that people interact face to face, and the downsides of religion "brainwashing" probably happens more on the internet than irl.

Im ok with letting churches be.
> SBCL is mostly written without CLOS and then brings in a CLOS implementation late into bootstrapping; that of course prevents you from using CLOS in some places, so you may not want to do that though.

This is one of the things that makes Common Lisp implementations tricky. Because the error handling system in CL is based on CLOS, it means you have to build the base system with a crippled error handler and then at some point replace the whole thing with the proper error handler atomically and pray you don't get an error during the switchover.
Definite agree there: Be it git or svn I spent a huge amount of my bugfixing and refactoring time in the history figuring out why things are the way they are.

> Usually though, the PR is just a link to Jira, so that's another degree of indirection I need to follow. Then the Jira is a link to a Slack conversation. And the Slack conversation probably links to a Google doc.

Assuming all those links in the chain still exist. Before Jira we had FogBugz, almost all those old cases are gone (some were imported). And we used Flowdock for 10 years, that's completely gone.

Commit messages are the only thing we can rely on for this history. Use it. And try to avoid squashing commits, that erases this history - yes, even for a feature branch, changes from code review should be separate from the initial push, explain why it's being changed so we don't make the same mistake later.

I totally agree, but I'm responding to the idea that it is way ahead of the competition and pointing out that not even the verge article was positive in all aspects (as was suggested in the few parent comments of mine).

I don't think it is ahead of the competition personally and especially when considering the 7x price I fail to see how it could land with consumers. Having said that I do anticipate Apple will finish the tech in the next few years and it will be a much better buy (both in value proposition and with a lower price) a few years from now.
So you only like corruption investigated if it aligns with you politically? Or are you saying he should be compelled to investigate his own “side” to gain credibility with partisans like yourself?

It can also be used to start from unreachable elements, although it isn't clear to me exactly how the "First discovery" works, e.g. will your unreachable elements pollute the neal.fun datastore, or only the byproducts? Either way, it is interesting.

I don't understand why these institutions are treated as "educational" rather than "investment funds" when they evidently act like the latter. I understand the legal protections, but why have politicians sat on their hands for the last thirty years while our education went to shit?
> If you simply want to comment the current state of the code, you should add a comment in the code.

I think you mean "past state of the code"...

These comments rarely get updated. My favorite recent one was several sentences describing a data structure and how it mapped out statuses, written about a decade ago. Barely a year after that comment and its code was written, the entire thing was re-written with completely different structure - and the comment left unchanged. Left a co-worker completely baffled due to inexperience with perl, we figured out what happened because of svn blame.
This is a process of exploring new technology. Research is expensive and probably doesnt always yield immediate returns, but when it does you get infinite returns.

Imagine how not obvious the first machines must have seemed at the start of the industrial revolution. You only have to feed a man and he can work, but a machine requires iron, oil, water, fuel, engineers, operators. The up front cost for exploring early digging machines must have been absurd. And im sure some people at the time thought: "Wow we could be spending this money on bread for the poor instead."

I teach software engineering to grad students. Discord bots specifically have been fantastic:

2) the UX is highly constrained (having students lose a month to CSS issues is perhaps good prep for the real world but feels awful)

I'm not sure I understand the Google Play store argument. If you're running on Android,Google already supplied you the OS, which would be a better target than some app.

So given that you are using Google code already, the "most trustworthy" source becomes the Play Store.

But Google does not write that code, and frankly given the volume of submissions (and obvious problems) by "most trustworth" I don't mean you should trust it.

Or to put it another way, once you start using code, written by someone else, the -source- of the code is irrelevant. It should not be trusted.

Which is true for your phone in general. It is not a "trustworthy" device.and you should treat it as such.
Beyond what I've mentioned? You can find reference, both direct and indirect, to the casual consumption of what we call beer everywhere. For instance even in the Old Testament, look at Isaiah 1:22: "Your silver has become dross, Your drink diluted with water." The Bible imposes countless prohibitions on alcohol but exclusively on "wine" and "strong drink". And that's from the 8th century BC. But we can actually go even much further back. For instance Egyptian workers working on the pyramids received rations of about 5 liters of beer per day. [1]

You can also find the preservation of a certain type of mentality all the way to modern times. In many places, including Russia and Sweden at the minimum, many alcoholic beverages (like kvass) are not age restricted at all, because they're not considered an alcoholic drink in the normal connotation of such. Here's [2] also a nice quote from an 18th century book: "For the drink of the more robust children water is preferable, and for the weaker ones, small beer."

There is overwhelming evidence for beer as a normal staple throughout most of all history, and for people of all ages and stations.

From the class action settlement website (https://www.respironicscpap-elsettlement.com/) it looks like the $400 million is the estimated minimum, and this settlement is strictly about replacement of machines.

As both the article and settlement website say:

> The settlement does not impact or release any claims for personal injuries or medical monitoring relief, according to the administrator with the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania.

In otherwords, there can be additional penalties/lawsuits more directly related to health damages.

Pretty risky using the term copilot as Microsoft is risking their entire company on it right now :) I'm sure they trademarked it and will defend it like hawks to prevent it becoming another "Xerox" or "Hoover". Those became general terms and lost their trademark.

FWIW I think Microsoft's marketing really sucks as they call everything CoPilot now which encompasses a range of products and it's totally unclear which one does what. But they're really hell bent on making it their buzzword.
Could you clarify the meaning of the term "Developers covered" as mentioned on the billing page?
Yes, I was hoping that if they started a land value tax, it would be applied to non-profits as well.

There's also an argument for LVT applying to government land, just so that the public and decision makers are acutely aware of the rents being extracted from the public, if it's a parking lot or something like that.
> Behind the scenes, so many athletes are already enhancing themselves during the off season in so many sports, this is an attempt to "legalize it."

The thing that troubles me is that enforcing a certain degree of plausible deniability also limits the harm that these athletes cause themselves with the drugs.

When you throw the plausible deniability away like this, you open the gates to reckless drug abuse for the sake of competition, which could be an order of magnitude more lethal than everybody doping in secret moderation.

I'd be a lot more comfortable with it in principle if they were allowing drug use, but enforcing sane limits and disqualifying athletes who were clearly being reckless and causing themselves serious harm.
Affected (former) user. This settlement only applies to financial damages, I believe. If you read the link, or the class action documentation they sent to me, it does not apply to future costs related to medical monitoring or care.
