It is quite frequent for the creators of a programming language to not understand very well their creation, and this was especially true for the first programming languages, when there was very little experience and theory about programming languages.

How John McCarthy and his coworkers explained LISP between 1958 and 1960 does not necessarily match what LISP really is.

What you say about the history of LISP is correct, but it is not relevant for your thesis, that LISP required parentheses because supposedly LISP code is data.

As you say, LISP is a list processing language. Its main data structure is the list. A list may have a variable number of elements, therefore its notation requires parentheses for enclosing the elements of the list.

On the other hand, a LISP program is data neither more nor less than a BASIC program is data or a C program is data.

After parsing, a LISP program may be stored in lists, but this is an implementation detail that does not matter for the definition of the language. If desired, any program written in any programming language can be stored in lists, after parsing.

An arbitrary list is not a valid LISP expression, i.e. valid LISP code, even if it is valid LISP data. Moreover, LISP code cannot be provided as an operand to a LISP function that processes lists. Only LISP data can be provided as an operand. LISP data includes quoted LISP code.

Quoted LISP code is LISP data and it is of course stored as a list, but unquoted LISP code, i.e. real LISP code, is not normally stored as a list, except in the simplest and least efficient LISP interpreters, which do not have any practical importance.

So LISP code is not LISP data and LISP data is not LISP code. They have different syntax and interchanging LISP code and LISP data in a LISP program will normally cause a syntax error, exactly like interchanging the content of a string constant with a statement (i.e. writing it without quotation marks) will cause a syntax error in most programming languages.

In any programming language you can have a string constant that stores some program sentences or expressions, which is data that can be parsed as code at run time. The only special feature of LISP is that its syntax is very simple and regular, so parsing and processing at run time is trivial.

As I have said, LISP data requires parentheses, but LISP code is not LISP data and it does not require parentheses for being data. It requires parentheses only because most standard functions and special forms may have a variable number of operands. One could make a LISP dialect where all functions with a variable number of operands, like ADD, would be restricted to a fixed number of operands and where the same restriction would be applied to the special forms, e.g. only IF would be used instead of COND, while AND and OR would have two operands. In such a LISP dialect there would be no need for parentheses in LISP code, but the LISP data, i.e. the lists would continue to need parentheses (but QUOTE would no longer be needed to differentiate lists from function/macro invocations).

Hey! 15+ years of backend experience in small and enterprise-like teams. Able to cover the entire backend: code, databases, message queues, API, devOps, CI/CD and more. I have experience in complex high-load projects, analytics databases and etc.
The thing is, both Chromium (the base of Chrome) and Firefox are open source (also Webkit, the heart of Safari), so I wouldn't really single out Ladybird. (I wonder if there are still any completely closed source browsers since IE threw in the towel)

But to be a bit ontopic also: I want a search engine to be unbiased, without any opinion.

Currently there are no such engines: Google and Bing are too political, and they favor very heavily a small set of results. Other search providers are usually too niche, either intentionally (e.g. IIRC Marginalia is intentionally indexing only small sites, and they are filtered too), or not intentionally (e.g. small team with not enough hw). These engines might give less opinionated (or give a different opinion) results for a small subset of queries, but they are rarely usable as general engines.
If you don't mind me asking, how much does the resin cost ? Couldn't find cost info on their website.
> There is a lot of individual creativity in Japan. How much you care for the interest of group (family/company/nation) is different from how much expressiveness there is at a personal level. The fomer being higher doesn't mean the latter is low.

Could you elaborate on this some more? It was my understanding people were discouraged from even dressing different, for example.

It‘s an evolved machine, meaning that the parts are not designed to be easily understandable or maintainable or to develop or even necessarily particularly easy to evolve.

Just take a small hit.
> studies have drawn a link between heavy use of high-potency marijuana, in particular, and the development of psychological disorders, including schizophrenia, although a causal connection hasn’t been proved.

The schizophrenia link has been a scare story for at least two decades now but why can't any research establish or discredit it?
Whoa very cool, had no idea about that. I've always been intrigued to see whether there could a reconciliation between the normative replay theory and the glucose depletion theory. A paper that made me think there could be a route: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34381214/
I think the big wins for something like this would be where you can say to a company "you are SOC2 compliant on your database if you do this and don't export data to your laptops" and frankly the people who are going to care the most about this are going to be either the Very large companies or those targeting Very large companies, and they are going to have a different sales cycle than this looks like it will naturally have in a YC context.

I have worked on bigger data sharing stuff, and the smaller clients have no interest in paying the single tenant tax, and the huge folks wont hear anything but.
This comment was really helpful, and addressed many of my instinctive reactions too.
Please do not say "kettogenic diet is not safe" just because you found a couple of articles on the web.

I would encorage everyone to take a look at the metabolic mind site - https://www.metabolicmind.org/ (youtube channel - https://www.youtube.com/@metabolicmind).

Extensive presentation from Dr. Dom D'Agostino - https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=metabolic+mind+...

Do not trust opinions on the web, do your own research and aproach everything critically - fact based medicine, not voice of authority matter here.

I have been following the ketogenic diet for about 2 months and I feel significantly better than before starting it - this is not medical advice, each one of us will have to learn about this medical intervention and decide what's best for him or her.
I'm actually pretty in touch with the reality of the current medical system. There are plenty of stories about diagnostic failures but what does the data show? The vast majority of patients are diagnosed correctly, or misdiagnosed in a way that doesn't significantly impact outcomes.

I think a lot of technologists have unrealistic expectations about healthcare. The reality is that most of it is still more art than science, and outcomes vary based on the skills of individuals in ways that usually impossible to accurately quantify. Anything involving biology is kind of squishy and uncertain. We should try to improve the state of clinical practice but we should also be thankful for how much it has already improved just within our lifetimes.
Doesn't it sound like the most self-absorbed footnote in the history of footnotes? "Attention, sailors. I just defined a new concept (--which is as new as the wheel, by the way--), which fundamentally changes how we see organizations, but it will be misused".

How people can take someone so self-indulgent and -absorbed seriously is beyond me. I am sure he is great at his job of nurturing start-ups, but what he had to say, he already said a long time ago.
I love the clean interface and snappy loading of the web app. Bookmarked it already!

[Talk of] Germans against being replaced by another race and culture is called extremism?

Since there's no chance this will ever actually happen, and any talk of such is basically just hysteria designed to push people's buttons, and get them to distrust their neighbors -- yes.

The AfD does a whole lot of other things to fully earn the "extremist" label, BTW.

Also, there are no proposals in the U.S. (from the Democrats or anyone else) for allowing non-legal residents to vote. That's just a myth.
> "I solo'd a joint from the dispensary recently and was tweaking just walking around."

Imagine not being able to conceive of a solution to this problem facepalm

Speaking as a stoner for half my life, this most definitely gets filed under "skill issue" / just don't be a moron and finish the whole damn joint at once; is it your last day on earth or something? Heaven forbid you consume less byproduct in getting high!

God, the state of average person's logical faculties...

P.S. Greetz to all the geniuses downvoting common sense and caution, they probably never smoked a joint in their life to know that halfway through one you should know if it's time to put it down, instead of just yolo'ing the whole damn thing desperately trying to get high as possible and then turning around and complaining they got too high, as if that has nothing to do with their idiotic decision and should rather be blamed on the weed itself. Imagine trying to make this argument with eating too much food! "Oh no, I ate 6 people worth of food in one sitting and now my stomach is sore, damn that overly filling food!" Meh, yet another topic not suitable for HN.

Unlike alcohol, there is no standardization to account for the content of THC and CBD in commercial cannabis. So even if you smoke less you might be getting the same amount of THC.

SPOILER

(Note that the article gives the answer, and discusses arriving at the answer. So go read it first.)

Article opens with a puzzle. This is commenting on the article's explanation .. avoiding some words in the comment just so this spoiler doesn't spoil at a glance, you'd have to think about the following before reading:

Curiously, this article doesn't touch on an instantaneous and no-maths intuition about what can (or what cannot) come up as the set after all draws including your first. There are a finite set of possible sets in the container. One interesting set is ruled out by the first draw: there is a set it cannot be. With that set ruled out, you're at least (sets/(sets-1)) more likely the next draw isn't from the missing and interesting set that is intuitively known to you.

Further, if one did do this in the real world, it's intuitively evident that the missing set and its inverse would be more likely chosen for the container due to their interestingness. (The article alludes to this when it points out the sets are not coin flips, they are deliberately selected by a human.) That tips the odds even more in your intuition's favor of how the probabilities must balance.

So I'd argue this one is solvable by psychology as an alternative to math.
I wouldn't say there's a zero chance. The judge has gone after YouTubers and journalists before. I know that at least some of them fled to the USA to escape his persecution. There's one journalist in particular that the judge hates so much he was mentioned in those WhatsApp message leaks. Judge and his people apparently think the USA is being "difficult" for not giving the guy up.

Windows PC usability issues were already such a meme that they're a topic of a 2001 episode of the sitcom Frasier. Bill Gates appears as a guest on Frasier's radio show. Frasier has a long list of questions for his famous guest, but becomes frustrated as his callers use up the entire show's runtime to ask Gates tech support questions. Gates seems pleased to tell a caller that Windows XP installation does not in fact require a boot disk.

It is too strong, but you can mix with a pure CBD strain or chamomile, lemongrass, mint or a bunch of other herbs. Of course then you get the (mostly) mild effect of that herb as well and it's another step and changes the flavor. I do wish they stocked a less than 10% strain near me.

these march hand in hand, and are probably the most potent factors.
mix it in with extreme friction uninstalling windows and deconfiguring the other than windows settings, and this is a vendor lockout.

the consequent question seems to be, why are there not more POS "nux" installations on new hardware?
I think this may also come down to record keeping.

And keep in mind that China had the Cultural Revolution which reset the counter to zero.
the thing about cells is that even labeling bits of them as discrete "parts" seems like it might be misleading, eg this from the linked paper:

> recent research on the cellular architecture demands that we look more carefully at what we have previously assumed were well-defined structures and reconsider them as stabilized processes. Because processes are temporally extended, it follows that they can only be understood by giving time due consideration... The structure of a machine, after all, can be grasped in abstraction from time (as it is not constantly changing), whereas the structure of, say, a whirlpool or a stream cannot. This explains why, when we have started using techniques that allow us to examine the cellular architecture in real time, we have found that many of the cell’s compartments and organelles are not fixed machineries at all, but stable macromolecular fluxes.
> We can build new power stations

Those things cost money to build and to operate, that is until we get to their own externalities, which adds other (hidden) costs. Nothing is free, which is the whole point of the science of economics.

I love the idea, the ambition. I wish there was more big scale 3d printing out there.

I'd be curious to know how much deadspace these design have, how much fill and structure. In a camper van you really want every cubic centimeter, I imagine.

I feel like maybe the 3d printing world could benefit a lot from sparring, from support rods in use. I haven't spent a lot of time looking, but what options I've found seemed quite expensive, trying to purchase like 4 or 6 foot spars of hardwood or aluminum or steel or carbon fiber. That was a bit disappointing, but I haven't looked super hard. I'd hope this could drastically lower the needed volume, and reduce the amount of material needed to print massively.

> knowledge almost never arrives at the moment of its application

Anyone who has used StackOverflow (or ChatGPT) to solve a programming problem knows this is completely false. Has the author never heard of “learn by doing”?
We haven't tried that yet, but it's an interesting idea.

I'm the technical co-founder. Under me, we have three squads. Two of them are led by managers who were promoted internally from individual contributor roles. These managers still do some hands-on coding occasionally when needed, but they primarily focus on delegating tasks to their teams as much as possible. The third squad has a manager without coding responsibilities, whom we hired to test a new squad structure. It's been going really well—his squad is performing excellently, and I've been able to delegate some cross-functional tasks that used to fall on me, like collaborating with the sales team when clients have technical requirements for renewing their accounts or documenting releases and bug fixes to share within the company.

So in terms of the technology area of our company, our lower-level managers are performing considerably well. We’re implementing frameworks and routines that are really helping to advance our company’s managerial maturity. We’re also working to apply these practices to other, less structured areas, so your proposal could be very timely.
Do you know that this is not happening accidentally? Cannabis is addictive, and they are giving you more THC and CBD so you become addicted. Now that weed has gone corporate, they are playing the same game as big tobacco.

Besides, our body makes cannabinoids naturally. No need to smoke them if you are eating right.

It is funny that we take such nonsense seriously when the inventor of radio and the brilliant people who built the telecommunications system on top of it said: "try this thing, you can call your mother who lives in Australia from the United States".

No, "the waves that can be used are not the eternal waves," they built a miracle and made people use it.
When I was a kid, roughly as long ago as the "before" in this study (late 90s), my dad would say the same thing to warn me against the dangers of "modern" (at the time) marijuana being so much stronger than what he smoked when he was younger. Today, it's legal where I live, and I partake a few times a week, with the worst negative side effects being the munchies. More potent weed just means I need to refill my vape less often, not that I'm getting obliterated by a static level of consumption.

> Let's come up with a teleoperated humanoid robot on Mars

One example I've always liked is from Star Trek. They got holodecks and no one thinks those are sentient people even though they are adaptive.

I don't care what Iilya said, mimicking a human does not make a human. It may look like a duck, swims like a duck, and quack like a duck, then it's probably a duck, but you haven't ruled out an advanced animatronic. In fact, I'm betting right now people could make an animatronic that would convince most people it is a duck because most people just don't know the nuances of duck behavior.

That is not as contentious, because it's basically autocephalous/self governing.

It's always been a couple dozen loners in the Sinai peninsula maintaining self sufficiency, which is why I don't find it a good example - as there are plenty of similarly old and continuous organizations, but never truly scaled.
