I can second Make-A-Lisp. I worked through it in C# initially, and I'm now halfway through a Rust implementation. The MAL process guide is a good set of instructions but doesn't go as far as actually presenting pseudocode, so you do have to think, and sometimes 'cheat' by looking at one of the reference implementations. In terms of tokenising and parsing, the MAL guide does include a monster regex statement that recognises the relevant tokens, and the parsing is quite easy due to Lisp's relatively simple syntax. If you choose the right implementation language, it will do some of the heavy lifting for you (notably memory management).

[Edit] Just wanted to reiterate that lexing/parsing Lisp is easy as per the MAL instructions. IIRC the things that I found hardest (in C#, as a C# newby) were understanding how to implement the closures required to support function definition, and then implementing Lisp's macro expansion.
There's at least one in this very thread.
Google actually works for government. It came about from DoD funding FYI and continues to make a fuck ton of money from government contracts.

I recently asked my Greek teacher about if 2008 was as bad in Greece as American media portrayed. She said things were definitely not good from an economic perspective but life kept going on. Even though people had no jobs, you couldn’t find an empty seat in a taverna on the weekend. She pointed out the biggest difference she notices living in the US is that people prioritize money above all else. In Greece they prioritize having a good time. It really changed how I viewed the crisis and reminded me that cultural differences bias our judgements.
I honestly thought the title was about bin men for a second...
The Friedman Doctrine ( what you are espousing, that business are only set up to make money) is a relatively recent social construct, having been first articulated in 1970. Questioning whether or not it should be the basis of how we organize an economy is perfectly valid. Simply saying "this is the responsibility of Google" is missing the point. Cases like this should make us ask if this should be the way we assign responsibility to businesses or if we should assign them different responsibilities.
Biboys sold for near $50 million to ATI, then it was sold to Qualcomm.

So many bad Corman movies on Mystery Science Theater 3000. My favorite is It Conquered The World. Lee Van Cleef and Peter Graves. The quote at the end always gets me:

“He learned almost too late that man is a feeling creature... and because of it, the greatest in the universe. He learned too late for himself that men have to find their own way, to make their own mistakes. There can't be any gift of perfection from outside ourselves. And when men seek such perfection... they find only death... fire... loss... disillusionment... the end of everything that's gone forward. Men have always sought an end to the toil and misery, but it can't be given, it has to be achieved. There is hope, but it has to come from inside, from Man himself.”

As a side note, anyone who’s interested in seeing classic MST3K, they have a site gizmoplex.com. Sadly some movies (including It Conquered The World) are not available to stream. I guess they never got the rights to show them or they no longer had the original tapes.
> As you wrote, the left governed there for decades

This is false. Quoting from my sibling comment:

Not quite. The state of Rio Grande do Sul had 2 PT (Worker's Party) Governors: Olívio Dutra (1999-2003) and Tarso Genro (2011-2015).

RS's capital city Porto Alegre had a much longer PT administration (Starting with Olívio Dutra in 1989, ending with João Verle in 2005).

> no adequate containment for this event was built

I came across a document from Porto Alegre's administration in 1992 [0] (first time with the Worker's Party in office, under the always thoughtful and overly intelligent Olívio Dutra) where they do an extensive analysis of the anti-flood systems in place, options on how to improve them and how important participation of civil society is in these processes.

> There was never a right or far-right government there since the 70s

This has to be a joke. Aside from those administrations I cited, everyone single one of the others has been right-wing.
I often close tabs by mistake, and there doesn't seem to be a confirmation dialog when closing the tab (or otherwise navigating away from it) while I'm actively working on an unsaved project. Is this something that could be added?
It is also a fact that Google had an average tenure of 1.1 years in 2022. Perhaps this extraordinarily low figure might be connected to your facts.
Are these the electronic connections, or large through hole mechanical ones? I think if you have one of the large mechanical pins, with loads of solder "gluing" it in place, it can be OK. Had to tell without a picture.

Coaxial ports (SMA, BNC) etc will usually work this way, and these connections are sturdy. Obviously SMT soldering shouldn't be used for anything that applies a significant amount of force. Or, look at USB-C ports: They come in various confs, but the SMT ones (for electrical connections) will usually have 4 circular and/or oval mechanical pins which are sturdy enough.
Watching this video, I am impressed by how well FSD works! Watching FSD crash videos, though, I am reminded by the many spectacular failure modes of SAE Level <4 driving systems on public roads.

The NHTSA reported in April that most fatal FSD crashes involved no driver intervention, or driver intervention only in the last 1 second, and in all cases an attentive driver could have perceived and taken steps to lessen the severity of damage and injuries in the crash.

For anything less than SAE Level 4, the human MUST take over driving when requested. The question is, can we? Sign up for the beta test and find out, I guess!

Personally I would much prefer a new Mercedes E class wagon with Driver Assist (Distronic) to a Tesla with FSD.

I think going from nothing to something will always be that difficult.
I think its likely that the Russian and Chinese spies would be applying for the cleaning, general administration and cooking jobs, so they can listen in on the chit chat in the lunch room and browse the filing cabinets at night. So in trying to to get a job in those general fields you will be competing against quite a few spies. They may even have a better looking but fake resume. Good luck :-)
Thought experiment: tell the interviewer you “plan to do the bare minimum at work”.

If that harms your chance to be hired, that’s evidence that the status quo agreement isn’t that.
Exactly what I was thinking too
Every surplus ounce of effort you put towards work is an ounce of effort you deprive your spouse, your children, and yourself.

Why would you do that to your family, all to help some shareholders who don’t give a rat’s ass about you?
No, capitalism is distortion of free markets. Capitalism literally means preventing workers from keeping the profits, replacing then with a flat wages.

Markets are an important force of progress, capitalism is feudalism all over again.

There is no real negotiation going on between employer and employees. If you don't believe me, ask any HR person whether they allow custom contracts.
The people who collected the data categorised it that way for some reason.
If I can make a rough attempt at summarizing this: this is basically a PoC of a remote shell using the Noise Protocol Framework[1] with implementation Noisy Sockets[2] to effectively use UDP to tunnel a connection from one application to another directly and securely. If you squint at it, Noisy Sockets is basically like TCP+TLS, but UDP+SomeOtherCrypto. The library is a drop-in replacement for the Go 'net' library. All the protocols (including tcp/udp) are implemented in userspace.

This has some really interesting use cases (like not having to use HTTPS to get a bidirectional secure communication channel... not being limited by firewalls... not requiring an OS to upgrade its tcp/ip stack...). Normally I'm a pessimist but I kinda like this thing (the library, not the remote shell). Just needs a less clunky way to discover and route to services, a simpler way to configure a connection to the remote host, and extensible authentication/authorization (public keys pose management problems and don't fit some use cases).

That custom license may stop people from using the remote shell. Luckily the library is just MPL 2.0

Because it is stealing, un-capitalism, and evil. HackerNews should BAN archive links like this that go around the paywall, and any mention of tools that allow users to bypass paywalls or ad-like content. I'm so sick of entitled HackerNews users whining about having to pay for services. It's as if they think there are no operating costs.
Incorrectly low level (tho I'd like to think I'm uniquely talented too)

Had ~10 years of experience working at small companies (pointerware, mldsolutions) after dropping out of college (had internship with pointeware where I correctly guessed they'd hire me if I dropped out). Interviewed at Citus a week before they announced being acquired, got shooed in. Junior pay at MS was still 2x salary increase
There is nothing evil about this at all.

People on HN constantly talk about how useless a large chunk of the FAANG workforce is- unnecessary projects just so someone can get a promotion, initiatives that are reinventing the wheel, managers who overhire to increase their headcount without any meaningful work for their employees to do, projects which get cancelled without ever launching. And that's just on the product and engineering side, HR, finance, and marketing have their own set of "bs jobs" and dysfunctions. Laying off the people responsible for all that makes sense.

Continuing the operate the profitable parts of the business, while shutting down the bad parts, is a good thing for a healthy company. Capital flowing to productive uses is a good thing for everyone in the long-term, even if it comes with the short-term hassle of some employees needing to find new jobs.
Are there such immersive math courses geared more towards middle / high schoolers?
I don’t think they stated that they agreed with the ‘distortion’ statement. They only stated that if you believe that is the case, the government would be the one who should regulate that distortion out of existence.

I personally don’t believe this is a distortion of capitalism as much as it is just a later stage of capitalism’s inevitable self destruction.
> But, then I can't find any examples of startups that just operated as normal, chill businesses from day one.

They wouldn’t grow big. But there are plenty, from the neighbourhood plumber to the daycare to the modest insurance outfit that keeps being sold from person to person as they retire.

High demand, so little initial grinding for clients. High demand also means standards aren’t high. People can’t be that picky about daycare or plumbers these days.
.NET is not a subject to the insanity that is managing host-installed dependencies in and versions of Python.

For SDKs themselves, they are installed in a canonical path, and only a single (latest) executable exists in path, called "muxer", also working as front-end for all commands. It then can choose corresponding SDK and runtime dependencies installed in subfolders depending on a situation. You can easily do sudo apt install dotnet-sdk-8/7/6.0 in any order and it will "just work".
It’s more that growth just isn’t needed in the US. Nobody is plugging in an EV and not getting power and our population is only growing at ~0.5% per year.

Even with EV’s US electric demand is flat since 2010 while China’s grew 8% in 2023! When things are changing 10+x as fast you need to move faster.

I don’t think HN is as aware that Reason is basically a joke of a publication that’s so consistently and provably wrong you’d think that was their goal (and, in fact, in a way it is) the way some online spaces are. It’s not a source familiar to this crowd.
Dan Price is a grifter who posts things like this in bad faith. Don’t engage.
You could say the same for all economic ideologies. This is why you need checks and balances along the way.

Some are more prone to human flaws than others, but the real issue is almost always how greed has found ways to circumvent the methods in place to not allow these mutations to occur.

As always, take "pure" ideas with huge amounts of salt.
It's fascinating how much of this reflects societal priorities in what to reward. That's made entirely obvious by "education" being one of the low ROI degree programs: teaching effectively genuinely does require a college degree, and society genuinely does need effective teachers! (The more students grow up with poor teachers, the more we waste our human potential.) But US society has chosen to pay teachers a low enough salary that it doesn't end up working out financially.

Absolutely none of this is about "students making poor choices"! Or at least, if every student made "smart" choices, we'd be left without anyone to teach our kids. (And in fact, that's happening, to some degree. My local school system has struggled to fill some vacancies for the past few years. And Florida, for example, has had such a teacher shortage that they've decided that military veterans and their spouses are mysteriously automatically skilled teachers even if they've had no training or college education at all. Paying higher wages doesn't seem to be considered an option.) I suspect that some of the other "low ROI" fields suffer in similar ways.
It's highly dependant on location. Labor costs, tariffs, net metering arrangements, solar irradiance, solar seasonality and local cost of electricity vary a lot.
So just "haha Java bad".
Google makes a very small percentage of their revenue from government contracts.
I remember a very long time ago in college, the prof was talking about stock equity.

I asked "Why can't the company buy back stock to increase value ?". He was shocked at the question and explained in detail why doing that is bad. It was something about doing that does not create real value.

So now we are living in that environment with no care about the impact of buy backs.
>Of course, some genuinely care about the Palestinian people and don't approve of Hamas, but a shocking number seem to have not considered the issue at all. I want to be clear that Israel has problems and I'm not saying that they are perfect; it is a very complex issue but many are unable to see it with nuance.

Since I kind of knew we would be circling this I'll try and tread carefully, I agree nuance is important.

Let's look at this from an abstract, if "queers for palestine" is farcical it's worth asking, how has it come into being, there had to be something that engendered it (sorry couldn't resist), that the group even exists should immediately flag a question of "why" and if they are upset about something, what is that, and how did they arrive at that conclusion, I'd argue that there's just as much nuance in that that you might be overlooking. Clearly something has gone south for someone if a group on a different continent is agitating for them
and the problem is the predicted solution from the communists is worse.

You can sit and scream "companies are going to become mega corps and kill us all!!!"... but then when you scream "the solution is government ownership of everything, that will save us all!!!" you lose credibility.

For reference: All of human history and the real world results of socialism/communism/marxism.

The real truth is people understand what capitalism was... what it is... and understand that despite the issues? The alternatives are worse.

PeaZip appears to rely on 7zip for most of its supported formats. So Peazip isn't really an alternative if you want to avoid 7zip out of security concerns.

For what seems like every 100 YouTube channels that speculate on everything from lost civilizations to aliens there are some mundane channels that actually set out to demonstrate and reproduce technologies and works like the ancients.

One of the more well known channels is scientists against myths, here is a link to one of their videos reproducing granite drill holes how the Egyptians might have: https://youtu.be/yyCc4iuMikQ?si=oUkmF122iHIklvuz

I really like their videos making granite and diorite vases, while the YT algo will tend to take you down the must have been lost technology/lost civilization/alien rabbit hole, sometimes you get lucky and they suggest other channels doing amazing work. The comments are fun too, no matter how well done anything is there’s always someone demanding demanding the small channels recreate the great pyramids at scale.
Not to get off on the wrong foot (and I'm sure it's obvious on HN) but starting your own business !== startup. In the broader culture, startup has become a trendy word (along with entrepreneur). Most people using these words don't actually understand what they mean.

It's as if they're holding their pet in their arms. They say, "Would you like to pet my dog" and they're actually holding a cat.

I'm certainly not knocking SMB biz owners. I'm one. But that doesn't make me a startup. It doesn't make me an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurial? Or entrepreneur-minded? Sure. But I - along with many others - don't meet the definition of entrepreneur.
Yeah, unfortunately I think I see a whiplash effect happening here.

I do think it's good that there is increased recognition that college is very expensive and might not be a no-brainer financially. I do think it's generally right that parents had been oversold the "golden ticket" thinking about college for a long time.

But now I see a certain part of our culture swinging this pendulum way too far, to whatever the opposite of "golden ticket" is. And maybe that could have even been a useful realignment, maybe if upper class and upper middle class kids were the ones buying into "your college degree will be useless", then this might bend the trend toward evening out the balance of power in society.

But no, of course that's not how this is working out. Instead, I see smart working class kids being turned off of higher education, making good money early in their careers, but then hitting walls at their organizations, which they can't advance past without a degree.
I see! Apple had the option to supply a fat three-prong plug here, which wouldn't fit in any unearthed socket, except for fake ones (which do exist but are generally older extension cords over here). But as you say, they likely didn't think this was worth the trouble + customer inconvenience if they couldn't rely on earthing elsewhere.
Please don't use WASM unless it runs in a browser, thank you. It could work reasonably well as bytecode target for an interpreted language but that's about it (yet to see good and performant WASM JIT compiler that can deal with overhead of using WASM itself).
I had a similar thought. Necessity is the mother of invention.
Is this why the US administration sees the Risc-5 architecture as a potential threat?

I remember the HN comments here from the last ~10 years when X84_AMD64 was the dominant architecture how desperate China was to have it's own domestic X86 compatible CPU and was wiling to spend whatever it takes to get ones but no domestic company could due to the US Intel-AMD monopoly over that architecture, and now finally it can have that thanks to an open-standard architecture that's not monopolized by a single player (ARM now, and Risc5 in the future).
Capitalism did work. Socialism has never worked. Capitalism still works. Socialism still doesn't work.
>Are you seriously saying that identifying the gap between how things work and how things should work is useless

I'm not sure how you're getting that impression. It's pretty obvious the linked tweet is upset at google's behavior specifically, rather than the relationship between employees and companies in our society. That's what the parent commenter is objecting to.
Stealing and piracy are different

There was no capitalism that did not favor owners.

What you perceive as previous version was in fact the direct result of socialist unions threatening to burn down the factories unless better terms are negotiated.
I think what you are talking about was what large companies that were startups built over the last 5-10 years and felt betrayed by the anti company sentiment even though they had all a ton of fantastical things for employees and mostly unchecked employee growth. Now its swinging the other way.

Also don't confuse my statement reading the market with what i believe.

Have you considered using the YouTube API to track these videos/channels while they are up (download the json, thumbs, transcript, maybe even whole video), check yt IDs daily/weekly to track video/channel deletions?
