Ask HN: A Lisp with Cargo/NPM like build system?
I love lisps, and have played with a bunch of lisps, and schemes. My biggest pain point so far is that almost none of them have a Cargo-like package manager and build system, where packages are installed locally (as in within the project itself), and the project has a predetermined directory structure and entry point.

I understand that one of the biggest things most people love about lisp is how much control you have over every single aspect of it and that contributes to most lisps not having a Cargo, per se. The user crafting their own build system __is__ part of the intended experience.

But, sometimes I just want to `lisp create my-project` and `cd my-project && lisp repl`. Most importantly, I want to `lisp add a-dependency` without it going to some global directory where conflicts can happen.

I am intentionally not mentioning Clojure here because I have been playing with it for a long time and have found that it's not exactly what i'm looking for. Mainly because of how there is more than 1 way of structuring your project (namely leiningen, deps.edn, and friends), and even if you get past that point, i find it difficult to enjoy the command line arguments of these tools (notice how the java creeps into the experience when you `-A:test -Spath`.

What I want is a lisp with a compiler/interpreter, and a package manager/build system that makes use of said compiler/interpreter to work on a project using a standardized project structure.

Anyway, I want to know if what I'm looking for exists, or if i'm misunderstanding the beauty in the way things are.

I have eaten nuts for days and I can tell you it will get old quickly. It’s no coincidence that sugar leads to over-eating. The body sends a very strong signal to eat when the sugar is digested. The same signal does not happen when nuts are digested.
Let Spotify pay for services rendered, like app downloads, rather than a flat fee completely unrelated to cost of producing services rendered. Could even let Spotify host their own downloads, if the Appstore and apples service is so good they shouldn't be afraid of some competition.

Parent poster didn’t seem interested it meeting some arbitrary diversity metric, it was that huge amount of potential talent is entirely unknown.

Because the barrier to entry is low, talent filters up better in many other sports. We probably know who the best hockey player in Canada is, but who would be the best dressage rider is a mystery because few kids have access.
I think fingerprinting using this is mostly like the more direct ways to fingerprint with the cache, and the defenses against one are the defenses against the other.

For the cross-site thing, cache partitioning is the defense. If the cache of facebook.com/file is independent for a.com and b.com, Facebook can't link the visits.

An attacker using the hash of a cached resource as a pseudo-cookie could previously use the content of the resource as the pseudo-cookie. The Use-As-Dictionary wildcard allows cleverer implementations, but it seems like you can fingerprint for the same time period/in the same circumstances as before. In both cases you might do your tracking by ignoring how you're supposed to be using the feature; as you note, no one's stopping you.

Before and after the compression feature, it is true anti-tracking laws, etc. should address tracking with persistent storage in general not only cookies, much as they need to handle localStorage or other hiding places for data. Also true that for a browser to robustly defend against linking two visits to the same domain (or limit the possibility of tracking to a certain time period, session, origin, etc.), caching is one of the things it has to limit.

I think if they get the expiry, partitioning, etc. right (or wrong) for stopping cache fingerprinting, they also get it right (or wrong) for this.

I was admittedly a fan of the original SDCH that didn't take off, figuring that inter-resource redundancy is a thing. It's a neat spin on it to use the compression algo history windows instead of purpose-built diff tools, and use the existing cache of instead of a dictionary store to the side. Seems easier to implement on both ends compared to the previous try. I could see this being helpful for quickly kicking off page load, maybe especially for non-SPAs and imperfectly optimized sites that repeat a not-tiny header across loads.

Many racers, but not all. A schoolmate of mine got pretty far in his racing career after doing well in the local cart circuit. He wasn't dirt poor, but not rich by any standards. It did involve a lot of work by his father, and finding a patron in the country's rally car circuit: Spain had few success in F1, even though there were big names in other motorsports. Good results in lower formulas brought sponsorships. Ultimately get got a seat in a back maker team because of those sponsorships: One of those drivers that pay for their seat. Fernando was apparently pretty good though, so he got into better teams. I hear he has a decent career.

The difference talent detection isn't just about money though, but general interest and how difficult it is to detect the talent. I bet there are a lot of people that could be great at baseball in Europe, but surprisingly, nobody there plays baseball. The best possible soccer players in India are probably not playing soccer either... and the issue in those two isn't money. Starting training early at the right thing is often more crucial than talent outside of, say, basketball and volleyball, and when your father is already in the sport, it's far more likely that you'll try from a young age, get good coaching and access to sponsorships. It's more that than, say Carlos Jr's father being rich because of his continued Rally driving. There's a lot of people that are more than rich enough: they just don't try.
Yes, amazingly paying someone $2/hour won't fly in a major US city.
It's quite simple: If you want something which is a part of me - especially one that's uniquely identifying - you better are a) part of the state of my country and b) have a pretty good reason for it.

Neither of these two is fulfilled here, so yeah - it's bad.
> even in the US, the government has no standing to intervene with private individuals limiting each others' speech

In Europe the government does that though, so "even in the US" is a nonsense argument here, the US is horrible at protecting individuals rights against oppressive companies.

I am not certain about such laws that could apply to this case, but there are already plenty of laws around what you are allowed to retaliate for etc. Just like USA makes it illegal to fire based on race or to fire union organizers, it is the same principle.

I can tell you from experience that most overweight people know a lot about nutrition and proper ways to eat. Lack of knowledge and education is not the primary issue. Many people who struggle with food issues do so because they are self-medicating for various levels of depression/anxiety/other psychological issues. It is quite difficult to break these bad eating habits without having a replacement for the temporary positive effects they create.

Articles like this are extremely annoying. Nearly every educated person knows everything this article says. It just comes across as condescending in a "I can do this, so anyone can" sort of way.

A threat of a breach of contract is not a breach of contract, which will be a sticking point if the EU gets involved again.

It's two private companies, in this case one is using their local government to try to force the other to change, in order to make more money.
What baffles me is that, when I bought insurance for my car, the insurance company asked me if it's equipped with an immobilizer, explaining that it gets a discount if so. It is, and I answered as such, but why wouldn't they have known that already based on the VIN? I profoundly doubt that most consumers know the difference between a key, an immobilizer, and a steering wheel lock, for instance.

Furthermore, I'd imagine most Kia drivers assumed theirs were likewise equipped, and answered as such, and paid the lower rates associated with immobilizer-equipped vehicles despite the precise opposite being the case. If the insurance company had known which models didn't have immobilizers, rather than taking customers' incentivized guesses as data, word would quickly have spread that "these cars are cheap to buy but crazy to insure", and the market might've had a chance to pressure Kia into doing the obvious.

Fundamentally, I think insurance companies dropped the ball on quantifying the risk. And I hope we see substantial investments in cybersecurity analysis by the insurance companies going forward, it's the only way the market can function.
My wife is the daughter of Filipino immigrants, so obviously my kids are mixed race and we don't fit the profile of a "white" family, but my take from your comment is that you spend way too much time thinking about tribal identity politics.

If I'm writing a short story (let's say it's fan fiction for "Little Women") about a family in a New England village in the 1860s, images that include non-white people in them are going to look absurd and be ahistorical. Your assumption that the only reason to prompt for an image of an ethnically homogenous family is due to bigotry appears to reflect a negative and pessimistic view of humans. I would guess this view stems from spending too much time reading Twitter comments and forgetting that they are written by a tiny, non-represenative sample of the population that skews towards derangment.

This is a mentality shift from the investor side. You would be shot down if you said we're focusing on profits/revenue rather than growth from 2010 to 2021. Now it's shifted from growth to profitability.

A bunch of companies were burning money rather than making it for a decade.
I can confirm this is not because of a failed funding attempt. This is the most responsible thing we can do as an infrastructure provider.

Show HN: Fructose – LLM calls as strongly typed functions
Hi HN! Erik here from Banana (formerly the serverless GPU platform), excited to show you what we’ve been working on next:

Fructose

Fructose is a python package to call LLMs as strongly typed functions. It uses function type signatures to guide the generation and guarantee a correctly typed output, in whatever basic/complex python datatype requested.

By guaranteeing output structure, we believe this will enable more complex applications to be built, interweaving code with LLMs with code. For now, we’ve shipped Fructose as a client-only library simply calling gpt-4 (by default) with json mode, pretty simple and not unlike other packages such as marvin and instructor, but we’re also working on our own lightweight formatting model that we’ll host and/or distribute to the client, to help reduce token burn and increase accuracy.

We figure, no time like the present to show y’all what we’re working on! Questions, compliments, and roasts welcomed.

Apple so focused on a walled garden in this time and age is going be their undoing.
>someone built a beautiful walled garden where people are walking nicely

Just because you build something nice doesn't mean you can do whatever you want with it. You're still bound by the rules of the state where you operate and earn revenue.

If I build a nice house for me I still have tones of regulation how I can build it and what I can do with it, including activities inside. For example, I can't fire guns(EU) or cook meth in my house, even though it's my property and I pay taxes on it.

Tech companies for some reason think that just because they don't build with brick and mortar but with bytes instead, then somehow the local laws don't apply to them. So just because you built a nice walled garden, the state will want to make sure you don't get to screw over everyone who enters there.
The Request For Position on Mozilla Zstd Support (2018) has a ton of interesting discussion on dictionaries. https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/105

The original proposal for Zstd was to use a predefined stastically generated dictionary. Mozilla rejected the proposal for that.

But there's a lot of great discussion on what Zstd can do, whic.h is astoundingly flexible & powerful. There's discussion on dynamic adjustment if cinpression ratios. And discussion around shared dictionaries and their privacy implications. That Mozilla turned around & started supporting Zstd & has stamped a positive indicator, worth prototyping on shared dictionaries is a good initial stamp of approval to see! https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/771

One of my main questions after reading this promising update is: how do pick what to include when generating custom dictionaries? Another comment mentions that brotli has a standard dictionary it uses, and that's some kind of possible starting place. But it feels like tools to build one's custom dictionary would be ideal.
I have a sweet tooth, but I'm also diabetic. I still snack on sweets but I replaced sugar with pure monk fruit extract. I've lost 40 pounds in the last year. I make all kinds of monk fruit sweetened deserts and buy all kinds of low/no-sugar snacks and eat plenty of them every day to the point where my sweet tooth is very well satiated. You can say it's coincidental or whatever you want, but I have no doubt my weight loss and improved health is from cutting out sugar from my diet.

> calculated that, in the European Economic Area, around 1.5 million subscribers to the main music streaming apps—other than Apple Music—on iPhones and iPads ended up paying 2–3 euros per month more as of July 2023 and throughout the entire duration of the subscription, compared to what they could have paid outside of the app. This was due to the in-app commissions imposed by Apple on developers, which were then passed on to consumers through higher subscription fees.

As per the spokesperson of the ruling in the EU.

Let’s be honest. No one asks for forgiveness and there are no consequences of any kind, especially if they’re externalities to your business.

Ruin the internet or something else for an extra $30k in profit. It’s fine. That’s what we do!
> And all fees can be avoided by not taking payment via the App Store. A streaming service can even accept payment in the Safari browser in iOS via Apple Pay, and it would not cost them anything.

That was the crux of the case. Spotify was accepting payment through their web site in addition to taking payment via the App Store. And because they were processing their own payments, they could offer the same subscriptions for a lower price than on the App Store.

The issue was that Apple was not allowing them to inform App Store users that they could pay through a browser.

It's 2024, the pandemic has been over for a number of years now.
These truthy articles seem to be only correct by accident.

The reality is if you cut out sugar, you tautologically get more calories from fat and protein. You need protein to maintain muscles, and most folks get fat too little protein in their diet. Purely by making that shift, you likely will have some muscle building, which naturally burns more calories…

It has nothing to do with the sugar itself, you could eat only sugar and lose weight… you’d just be miserable and feel like you’re starving constantly, most likely.

In the noughties, at my Bay Area high school, students had a microphone wired up to their cell phone to someone they paid outside to Google answers, who was watching a feed of stills relayed via MMS every few seconds from a camera hidden in their hoodie. (Or, alternatively, the room was pre-bugged.)

I wonder if colleges will begin differentiating between at-home and trusted-facility scores.
Or Supernormal?
I'd rather go into a testing center and use someone else's device than infect my own system with whatever spyware they'll insist students install to try and prevent cheaters.
tbh I'm most interested by this:

How do kids work out math problems these days? Do they draw equations with their finger on a tablet/phone? Tablet pen on tablet? Are they learning math typesetting at a young age?

I used to use huge amounts of scratch paper, in college I had a convertible laptop/tablet that I used for taking notes in class, sometimes handwriting everything, sometimes LaTeX & import the generated pdf into onenote where my handdrawn figures were.

But I never used that setup for scratch paper, scratch paper was something sacred and always paper + pencil.

But, now paper is nonexistent and I use a wacom tablet with OneNote when I need scratch paper. So there's been a huge revolution in my life and I'm curious what today's kids do.

if the situation is really "nobody will run this software unless i pay them to", then you're doomed regardless. there's nothing wrong with the classic route: package your software for the stores/distros you're familiar with, make your software as easy to package as humanly possible for anyone else who'll come around, document the hell out of it, submit it to the handful of top-level news feeds from which it'll percolate, and then wait. maybe you don't like waiting?
You didn’t answer my question. Why, in general, wouid a garbage-collected language consume more memory?
Were you actually recommending that or being sarcastic?

Nuts are calorie dense, since they're mostly made of fat and eating them makes it easy to gain weight.
Hypothetically they could require that you use a device with an included monitor (laptop, tablet) and require that no HDMI cable is plugged it.

This won’t protect against somebody who is willing to open the device up and probe the embedded DisplayPort (or whatever standard) pins, but that’s probably beyond the ability or interest of most people.

I don’t like any of this; if I were asked to install some school spyware I would refuse. But it looks like the plan is for the schools to also allow the students to take the tests there. People should do that instead. Hopefully some parents will be super pedantic and require schools to provide accessible testing space and not use the “you can test at home” option as an out.
Microsoft didn't have competition in the 90s. Apple has plenty of competition, they've just built up a competitive advantage which is their fully-integrated platform. Googles been trying to build one on the Pixel for years and haven't come close to their success.

Apples been doing this "next level of nefarious" since the App Store's introduction in iPhoneOS 3.0, and it's been fine up to this point, otherwise the platform (and consequentially the apps on these platform -- spotify) wouldn't have thrived the way it did.
