No, but someone else can use a "reliable source" (whatever that means) or an authoritative primary source to add that information.

Personally, I want a resource that values primary sources, not one that censors them. The world isn't short on hard drive space (and deletionism didn't make sense back when it was, either.)

I would prefer that an article about XYZ Co. is edited by the former CEO of XYZ Co., rather than by someone who knows nothing about XYZ Co., but whose opinion regarding "reliable sources" is informed by their biases regarding the "social structure of capitalism."

Re-read your initial comment and my initial reply. You solely complained about a bad analogy and called the author totally clueless. Then I specifically called you out for not criticizing the language itself.

I don't think you're being disingenuous at all. I think if you have complaints about the language you should express them directly. Attacking the author as a means to dismiss the language is lame. And if you're going to do that you should provide a lot more evidence than a vague, non-specific comment about a supposedly bad analogy. If you want to criticize the philosophy of the language (anti-OOP, amongst other things) that's great. But you didn't do that.

Let me re-iterate: in the future you should avoid posts that attack the author rather than the idea, call someone totally clueless, and don't present actual evidence. It sounds like you have an opinion formed from a variety of factors. Next time I would recommend you criticize the language at face value. If you haven't spent enough time with the language because you've dismissed it based on a proxy heuristic then I would recommend simply not posting that comment on HN.

* there's string->url ... why not string->parse-url .. no, would have been too verbose. MAYBE YOU COULD HAVE SAVED SPACE BY OMITTING THE FUCKING PARENTHESES

string->url is consistent with the way they do things in Racket. Note in that same document you linked the use of number->string and string->number, the -> indicates a type conversion. Along with string->url there is also the reverse, url->string, and some other conversion functions. That consistency is actually pretty nice, it means you can guess and check ("I have a string and want a url, will this work?" Oh, great it does!) or guess and search the docs before checking with the REPL or whatever.

car shows up once, cons not at all, but he does use cdr. first, second, and rest are available, I don't know why he didn't use it in this demonstration. If you want to use first, go for it.

The Sears Tower is now the "Willia Tower", and the "Bank of America Center" is now "555 California Street".

I was under the impression that a URN is an identifier that is not tied to a specific location, in fact it could apply to a resource that exists at many different ones. Is the "Sears Tower" example (or anything that could reasonably be associated with a single location) really the best in this case?
>they most likely wouldn't be able to differentiate the two sounds consistently without having had training

I learn English since I was pretty young, I believe I'm quite fluent (I mostly use English for work, I lived for two years in an English speaking country, I read books in English, etc), and I still have problems distinguishing some English vowels. I think sound acquisition is one of the hardest things to learn for a non-native speaker.

It’s a different file for every programmer. Sometimes they wrote it, sometimes they found it and knew they had to save it. They read over the lines, and weep at their beauty, then the tears turn bitter as they remember the rest of the files and the inevitable collapse of all that is good and true in the world.

I ended up swapping out my retro pi for one of these micro PCs. I’m mildly sad that it’s not the same form factor, but once I got over that, I became a lot happier. The Pi (3) didn’t behave as smoothly as the Lenovo I replaced it with.

I love the Pi and the flexibility and community it has. The only thing I’ve seen to rival it is the Arduino. But for casual needs like home theater or home assistant, these 2nd hand micro-PCs are excellent.

Quick aside, I actually got the micro-PC for a Starship bridge sim setup. I never put that together, but it is also a great use of these.

Not sure which part you're referring to, but I agree. The u2if firmware I'm using has an interface type that generates the addressable LED bitstream with the RP2040's PIOs. The host software dumps the pixel color values over USB CDC into a buffer on the RP2040, then when it's done the firmware tells the PIO to read the buffer with DMA and stream out the precisely timed LED bitstream.

Currently it's running in "one light string per PIO" mode but there's an inaccessible mode where one PIO can do up to 8 strings simultaneously. The pins have to be physically adjacent, though, so it's a bit more difficult to set up in a generalized way.

The curly braces themselves are 100% irrelevant, as evidenced by the many, many successful and well-liked languages which don't use them, including Python, which is in the running for the most-used language these days. They're an implementation detail.

What's closer to innate is the Algorithmic Language, Algol for short, the common ancestor of the vast majority of languages in common use (but not, notably, Lisps).

Algol was designed based on observational data of how programmers, who had to somehow turn their ideas into the assembler to run on machines, would write out those ideas. Before it was code, it was pseudocode, and the origins predate electronic computers: pseudocode was used to express algorithms to computers, when that was a profession rather than an object.

That pseudocode could have been anything, because it was just a way of working out what you then had to persuade the machine to do. But it gravitated toward a common vocabulary of control structures, assignment expressions, arithmetic as expressed in PEBCAK style, subroutine calls written like functions, indexing with squared brackets on both sides of an assignment, and so on. I revert to pseudocode frequently when I'm stuck on something, and get a lot of benefit from the practice.

So I do think that what's common in imperative languages captures something which is somewhat innate to the way programmers think about programs. Lisp was also a notation! And it fits the way some people think very well. But not the majority. I have some thoughts about why, which you can deduce an accurate sketch of from what I chose to highlight in the previous paragraph.

If people were graduating from college with a CS degree, and didn't know how to use a keyboard and mouse, then yes Id advocate for them to be "rote taught" basic keyboard and mouse skills that they should have learned in elementary school.

It would show that something is extremely wrong going on if the most basic of skill set isn't know by people who's entire field of study involves computers, and didn't know how basic interactions with a computer work.
Welcome to marketing.
The original SimCity franchise did an amazing job of combining both simulation and game, but later iterations (past SimCity 4) ditched any pretense of being a simulation and went full on-game. That shift quickly tanked a previously sterling franchise, which I think shows the significance of the simulation angle.

Cities Skylines eventually filled in that gap and if you look at the dedicated community around those games you'll see a heavy emphasis on simulation and very little focus on making it a more fun game. Interest is somewhat split between modeling aesthetics and modeling transit. I think the greatest interest is in modeling societies and economies, but few games seem to make that work except on small scales. There's an old game called City Life that did an commendable job modelling social classes. The early Tropico games had a very engaging economic system. I can't think of any modern games that have impressed me like those, but I would love suggestions.
Other than the retro art style what are the main ideas you have going in that you want to implement in the game?
Even without naming a thing, once we categorize it we perceive it differently.

This can be shown, for example, in chicken sexers. Chicken cloaca all look the same to most of us. But once you've learned for to distinguish the two sexes, they actually look different to you.

But any beginner art student knows the drawback of this. When you see a face, your brain sees it as a set of "face symbols." You then draw a set of "face symbols," and your drawing looks like a bad cartoon of a face.

Becoming an artist requires turning off the part of the brain that turns a face into face symbols, and being able to see the things for the thing it really is.

Been dealing with this a while, it's hard to be consistent as google doesn't give any way to do this automatically so at best you can schedule it to provide you downloads for 1 year every 2 month and then remember to download them in time, also it's not just one download but might be over 5 if there's more data. And also remember to set it up again in one year, dark patterns galore.

One good thing I noted in Takeout though, is it converts your google docs stuff to locally-viewable formats easier than other options (and of course a lot better than you'd get by just syncing in Drive as they are just links to the gdocs in that case!).

Another issue where google makes transferring stuff harder is just transferring stuff to another Google Drive. I had to do this from company account to my own (with a valid reason, I was a cofounder and we were shutting down). There was no built-in way so I programmed my own recursive copier that retains google docs as google docs and files as files, an also manually manages to retain comments and where they apply to in the docs. It still wasn't possible to retain edit history which sucks, considering if these were just normal files doing be most basic folder copy would do all of this.
Factorio is amazing and the way it makes you remap certain parts of your brain works differently depending on the person, and the paths they took in the game, so it is a little hard to describe.

Based on how other people try to explain it, I'd say the closest comparison matches the experience of being a "traditional" programmer being exposed to haskell.

You've kind of just got to play it to experience it yourself.

There's two parts to factorio:

1. You have to figure out what the next goal you need to focus on is, and then work backwards through the steps you'd need to achieve to get there.

2. You need to wrap your head around the task at hand figuring out how to build pipelined systems in a limited space. You might think you need A which can be turned into B which can be turned into C, which is correct. But it turns out the next step you planned requires some of your C to be turned into D while still making C, then you need to combine come D with B to make E, but suddenly you're not getting enough C to make D because you're using too much of the B to make E. You can swap some of the things that turns A into B to make B at a faster rate, but the A to B thing takes up more physical space, so now you need to move the things around in space without ending up getting tangled.

Repeat these two things in a loop for the basic game loop, then add in the occasional emergencies that you didn't foresee that can wildly change your current objective.

The difficulty curve in the game is designed in such a way to always let you figure out what your next objective is, but without you knowing all the pieces to get there.

And there are multiple paths to the end so you need to figure out how you're getting there.

Plus each of the ways you can use to get to the end work in different ways, sometimes subtle, sometimes utterly different.

Because Factorio is always training your brain in different ways, you'll find that you're way of problem solving has become better every 10 hours or so. You'll randomly get ideas out of the game of how to improve things or do things in a different way and you can try them out whenever you get back to the game.

Even when you finish it, you can go back and retry it to see just how much you've retrained your brain. You might even want to try the different paths to brain train other methods.

You can finish the game for the first time in about 50 hours. Depending on how much you game, this may be a lot, or hardly anything, but I'll point out that it's not one of those repetitive daily-mission grind-fest second job games. It's much more like reading a really good book series that you're enjoying.
