I tried Lisp several times.

I really want to like it. Its interactivity is only matched by Smalltalk.

What are the problems I found? First, macros are nice. But they are difficult to write and potentially difficult to grasp. I think you should avoid them almost all the time.

Also, I found that regular Lisp (yes, I know with macros you can change that) is less readable than Python, for example. I struggle to read math with logic in Lisp (inwards-outwards) way more than left-to-right.

Also, the superior interactivity means you have an image. But when I create software I organize things in files, I run them from scratch. In Lisp everything becomes (or tends to become) kind of a stateful environment. It takes more reasoning to reason about current state.

I would say that Lisp is good at two things: DSLs and ast manipulation is way easier than in other languages. If you need that, it is nice. Also, highly experimental interactive programming to try ideas is good with this interactivity. However, creating a system where a level of interactivity for your needs can be created is not super difficult, so you can have a very interactive Python env. for example, except that the object system in Lisp is a bit more interactive. But, do you need that?

All in all, Lisp is a language I struggle reading, powerful for ast manipulation and DSLs, but the macro/DSL parts are what also prevents it from being easily picked-up by teams. In fact, I would forbid macros by default unless carefully approved for "regular" Lisp programming as done in most software products. It can obscure the code quite a bit.

I like Clojure, I like Janet lang and I like Lisps for embedding. Also, I do know the power of having a running server and being able to enter and live debugging it, but, is this practical? At the end you want a commit somewhere, a CI pipeline to be run to verify your software, etc. So I am not sure if when programming in Lisp one of the problems I find is that I should change my mindset but I am not successful at it.
> I wish I'd been there just so I could sue the ever-loving shit out of everyone.

Perhaps you are unaware that most of the hotel contracts you've ever agreed to have provisions whereby you have already agreed the hotel has the right to conduct inspections of the room you're renting upon giving you advance notice. So you'd have no grounds to sue anyone.

Before assuming a reflexive posture of belligerent bluster, and threatening to "sue the ever-loving shit out of everyone" it's advisable to pause and inform yourself whether you're about to be completely in the wrong.

> They literally would have had to arrest me.

I suspect if you pointlessly wasted their time with ridiculous threats and were annoying to boot, they'd be more than happy to arrange that.
Even though I find it hard to defend $42k/year, there must be a reason the US is pretty much the only country that comes up with these breakthrough drugs on a regular basis. It’s basically an adage at this point that the US populace is subsidizing medical breakthroughs for the entire world.
You keep reestablishing that you have no idea what you're talking about.

And that WebMD article doesn't even support your argument.

If you're actually curious about how this works, I'd be happy to explain. But you've previously asserted that you don't care what anyone says, so I'm loathe to extend myself.

For any other readers, the keywords are "metabolism" and "metabolite".
Yeah, the over defensiveness really does make sense here, I think.

Most people won't use enough for this to be a problem, but no doubt it'll be used to push prohibition.

Meanwhile, alcohol and tobacco are at least as bad, but nobody's pushing to make those illegal any more.

As far as I'm concerned people have a right to be defensive when others want to make their personal life choices illegal.
Lisp software like QUILC (linked) and Python software like Qiskit.

They have the role of taking general quantum programs (usually called "quantum circuits"), and translating+optimizing them for a particular quantum computer architecture (i.e., one that might only have a small number of supported quantum operations).

It's analogous to a language like C having a compiler (written in Lisp or Python) for ARM and x86.

This exists in sufficiently mature Actor model[0] implementations, such as Akka Event Sourcing[1], which also addresses:

Intrinsically and without having to create "a new architecture for web development". There are even open source efforts which explore the RAFT protocol using actors here[2] and here[3].

Thanks! and yes I think you’re right that it did help to occupy my mind at least. By the end when I hit a wall unable to find anything new it just made me look back in a more negative light than was actually true at the time.
Sounds like an issue with the park regulations or smoking regulations allowing it in public. Perhaps it’s not the weed, but rather the dickhead wielding it in a park to the detriment of others.
It's a departure from what we previously worried about - people not having food to eat.

Look at the definition of "low food security" - the most extreme food insecurity the USDA measures.

Low food security — These food-insecure households obtained enough food to avoid substantially disrupting their eating patterns or reducing food intake by using a variety of coping strategies, such as eating less varied diets, participating in Federal food assistance programs, or getting food from community food pantries.

"obtained enough food to avoid substantially disrupting their eating patterns or reducing food intake". So none of these people actually didn't have enough food to eat, they just had to change how they got their food.

You are aware of other intelligences he was referring to in his listicle then enlighten us.

A pure distilled ideal form of intelligence will need a quality definition though so as not to smuggle the "living being / human" prerequisites for it in through the back door. Here he offers very incomplete notions implying intelligence is: not only doing bruteforce search and guesswork. Should he become aware it is doing extra the assertion presumably expands to include not only that too. All to preserve his bold but unfounded claim in the title.

To forbid imperfect knowledge acquisition is to forbid knowledge, for it is a step on the way to knowledge. I hope you agree.

Expertise is where you find it working best for you, btw I'm totally okay with threats from experts to down tools to show their disdain for AI but it won't happen in a meaningful sense because information leaks too well, it was just hard to organize pre-AI, walled-off needing to jump through courses/consulting/qualification/experience hoops and such.

Consider that Joe Blow may only need slight correction once passing the mishmash of expertise fragments he gets from anywhere that humans are great at filling in. Feel free to talk about anything you feel I've omitted.
We'll get more detail tomorrow from Defcon - as to where the flaw is located. Apparently something in that neighborhood allows persistence - and for the attack not to be reported.

I’m sorry to hear this happened to you.

One cannot lay even a finger on another person, ever, let alone jostle someone just because they don’t like what they are saying.

It’ll be interesting to do something like this in Elixir where clustering is almost a runtime primitive.
I've been a (somewhat successful) advocate of similar approaches at the automakers I've worked for, but it's not as simple as the article makes it sound. Individual components in each "zone" can have different reliability requirements, for example. They also might be produced by different suppliers, or only be present on certain models / trims.

Rivian is able to do this because they're taking advantage of modern heterogenous processors and they haven't made the mistake of outsourcing almost all of their software capabilities to tier 1,2,3 suppliers. Legacy OEMs find it much more difficult to adopt, especially once the institutional inertia takes over.
Ah, defcon drama!
Old ones used to be much better anyway.
Cover it and see if the signal goes away. Then take it to a dark room and shine light on it.

If it goes from sound to silence in the first case and from silence to sound in the latter, you can be reasonably sure that light has an effect.

If you want to rule out other radiation, you can try shielding the contraption.
How do you use it for video encoding/decoding? Won't the uncompressed video (input for encoding or output of decoding) be too large to transmit over network practically?
The shape of the flaw seems pretty clearly described in the abstract - it's the ability to either modify the contents of the locked SMM memory regions (and so get arbitrary code execution there), or trigger SMM execution of code outside the SMRAM region. Either way, SMM vulnerabilities aren't new, and the capabilities associated with them are pretty well understood - what's different here is that the vulnerability is apparently in the CPU rather than the firmware, and so everyone's affected no matter who their firmware vendor is.
I was certainly inspired by PG's writing (after all we do use Common Lisp, and it's hard to avoid PG in this space). But I don't think they did things like transaction logs like how bknr.datastore does, which makes the development process a lot more seamless.
No? The person on Threads does not appear to be her husband. They're merely posting a screenshot of her husband's Facebook post.
I read it as tinged with the implication that the wronged party must have done something to deserve it. In retrospect, perhaps I was being too sensitive.

I agree with you, but the argument that smart people smoking weed somehow makes it OK holds no water. After all, doctors were promoting cigarettes not long ago, and many, many of the smartest people on Earth smoked them.

Maybe I am a callous person, but I have never agreed to this "don't speak ill of the dead" thing.

People live and die. It is inevitable. To the grieving family, I can understand why refraining from insulting the dearly departed is necessary. They are grieving and can be irrational. No need to make things worse for them.

But between unrelated people? Why can't I discuss the legacy of the dead? We are defined by our deeds in life. It is only natural that in death, people will talk and opine about what we have done. Nothing wrong with it.

Show HN: Zymo.tv – a new media platform for managing your streams
I'm soft launching this to get feedback. Some features include:

- add iptv streams

- add open directories (or basic auth protected directories) via our scanner

- watch movies

- watch tv shows

- listen to music

- transcode non-web formats to mp4 in real-time

- proxy bad iptv providers (ie: http only) via our proxy api
ECL and ABCL are Common Lisp implementations. They are both interactive and both don't use images.

Unless one saves and load images, one is not using image-based development. All one is using is the interactive nature of Lisp, via a dialog interface, here a REPL. Lisp uses late binding, which makes it possible to update function definitions in interpreted and compiled software.

The base for interactive Lisp development is:

* a procedure to read data

* a procedure to evaluate data as code: EVAL

* printing

* a Read / Eval / Print loop

* additionally Lisp provides an incremental compiler and a file compiler

* LOAD to load code

Still a typical Common Lisp application or library consists of files. ASDF is the moral equivalent of "make" and runs the file compiler. Quicklisp will transfer Lisp software in the form of files to your local machine, compile the files there and load them.

So far we have not used "images". If you check the ANSI Common Lisp standard, there is not a single word about "images" in the standard definition.

If you live long enough you will most likely die from either heart disease, #2 killer, or cancer, the #1 killer. Accidental self inflicted injury is #3. We're not doing anything wrong. Quite the opposite.

Since not even having a billion will allow you to cheat death, perhaps we shouldn't allow billionaires to cheat everyone else in life.
I just got myself a proper domain name. You can get a domain for pretty cheap if you're not picky about what you get. You could for example register cottagecheese.download on Cloudflare for about $5/year right now.

I have my domain's DNS on Cloudflare, so I can use DNS verification with Let's Encrypt to get myself a proper certificate that works on all of my devices. Then I just have Cloudflare DNS set up with a bunch of CNAME records to .internal addresses.

For example, if I needed to set up a local mail server, I'd set mail.cottagecheese.download to have a CNAME record pointing to localserver.internal and then have my router resolve localserver.internal to my actual home server's IP address. So if I punch in https://mail.cottagecheese.download in my browser, the browser resolves that to localserver.internal and then my router resolves that to 10.x.x.x/32, sending me to my internal home server that greets me with a proper Let's Encrypt certificate without any need to expose my internal IP addresses.

Windows doesn't seem to like my CNAME-based setup though. Every time I try to use them, it's a diceroll if it actually works.

You don't use steam for district heating.
There are two problems here, the first one is that district heating doesn't exist in a lot of places so the infrastructure needs to be built. The second problem is that people are afraid of nuclear so running water through their house warmed almost directly with nuclear heat is a sensitive topic. It's not actually dangerous of course, but perception matters. Actually there is a third reason now that I think of it. Nuclear plants are usually not close to big enough cities to absorb that heat, but it's possible to transport the water over 100km while still retaining enough heat for district heating.
Wait, so you’re blocking on a Raft round-trip to make forward progress? That’s the correct decision wrt durability, but…

I’m now completely lost as to why you believe this was a good idea over using something like MySQL/Postgres/Aurora. As I see it, you’ve added complexity in three different dimensions (novel DB API, novel infra/maintenance, and novel oncall/incident response) with minimal gain in availability and no gain in performance. What am I missing?

(FWIW, I worked on Bigtable/Megastore/Spanner/Firestore in a previous job. I’m pretty familiar with what goes into consensus, although it’s been a few years since I’ve had to debug Paxos.)

> I was trying to drive home the point that you don't need a massively distributed system to make a useful startup. I think some founders go the opposite direction and try to build something that scales to a billion users before they even get their first user.

This reads to me as exactly the opposite: overengineering for a problem that you don’t have.

For exactly the reasons you describe, I would argue the burden of proof is on you to demonstrate why Redis, MySQL, Postgres, SQLite, and other comparable options are insufficient for your use case.

To offer you an example: let’s say your Big Customer decides “hey, let’s split our repo into N micro repos!” and they now want you to create N copies of their instance so they can split things up. As implemented, you’ll now need to implement a ton of custom logic for the necessary data transforms. With Postgres, there’s a really good chance you could do all of that by manipulating the backups with a few lines of SQL.
Somehow we always end up punishing the masses for the sins of the few.
I feel the same way about the Barkley Marathons. What was once a soulful, austere and obscure contest against time and nature is now become a Roman orgy of decadence with contestants hauled about on opulent palanquins and all manner of one-wheeled contraption. It used to be special. If drugs were taken, they were not enjoyed. Hacker News became aware of the marathons, and now it’s only a matter of time until old Lazarus Lake is blowing that conch shell on stage with Taylor Swift, I tell you.

Except that 3 actual studies about it, turned out to have a different result:

"A 2016 study of a sample of academic journals (not news publications) that set out to test Betteridge's law and Hinchliffe's rule (see below) found that few titles were posed as questions and of those, few were yes/no questions and they were more often answered "yes" in the body of the article rather than "no".[12]

A 2018 study of 2,585 articles in four academic journals in the field of ecology similarly found that very few titles were posed as questions at all, with 1.82 percent being wh-questions and 2.15 percent being yes/no questions. Of the yes/no questions, 44 percent were answered "yes", 34 percent "maybe", and only 22 percent were answered "no".[13]

In 2015, a study of 26,000 articles from 13 news sites on the World Wide Web, conducted by a data scientist and published on his blog, found that the majority (54 percent) were yes/no questions, which divided into 20 percent "yes" answers, 17 percent "no" answers and 16 percent whose answers he could not determine."
