I read On Lisp by Graham recently and first thought "this is the best programming book I read in a while", and then had the urge to make copy editing kind of changes "he didn't define nconc" and then thought "if he was using Clojure he wouldn't be fighting with nconc", and by the end thought "most of the magic is in functions, mostly he gets efficiency out of macros, the one case that really needs macros is the use of continuations" and "I'm disappointed he didn't write any macros that do a real tree transformation"

Then a few weeks later I came to the conclusion that Python is the new Lisp when it comes to metaprogramming. (and async in Python does the same thing that he coded up with continuations.) I think homoiconicity and the parenthesis are a red herring, the real problem is that we're still stuck with parser generators that aren't composable. You really ought to be able to add

unless(X) { ... }

to Java by adding 1 production to the grammar, a new object for the AST tree, and a transformation for the compiler that rewrites to

if(!X) { ... }

probably the actual code would be smaller than the POM file if the compiler was built as if extensibility mattered.

Almost all the examples in this book (which claims to be a tutorial for Common Lisp programming)

https://www.amazon.com/Paradigms-Artificial-Intelligence-Pro...

are straightforward to code up in Python. The main retort to this I hear from Common Lisp enthusiasts is that some CL implementations are faster, which is true. Still, most languages today have a big helping of "Lisp, the good parts". Maybe some day the Rustifarians will realize the wide-ranging impacts of garbage collection, not least that you can smack together an unlimited number of frameworks and libraries into one program and never have to think about making the memory allocation and deallocation match up.
The revenue milestones appears to show annual revenue goals rather than monthly. For example, if you have only 1 plan at $1/month, the $1000/month target shows you need 84 subscribers.

That's a great DX! I wonder if an alternative way is to just hook functions like read, and write, and other functions linked to the SSL libs. It is true that you should be aware of the SSL libs in place but OpenSSL is the most popular.
Historically, ideas of "moral responsibility" are strongly linked with retributive punishment.

If you did something wrong, and you are morally responsible for it, then we are morally permitted (or even obliged) to make you suffer for it (where "suffer" can mean potentially anything from mild social opprobrium up to torture and execution). If you did something wrong, but (for whatever reason) lack moral responsibility for it, then it is morally wrong for us to make you suffer for it. If your moral responsibility is impaired but not completely absent, then it is wrong for us to make you suffer to the normal degree, but it might be justifiable for us to do so to a more limited degree.

But, many people today reject the idea of retributive punishment. And if you do so, it isn't clear how important the concept of "moral responsibility" still is. It is a logically coherent position to accept the evaluative/axiological aspects of morality (the labelling of states of affairs as "good" or "evil" or "neutral", their ranking as greater or lesser goods/evils), and its prescriptive aspects (you ought to do this, you ought not do that, you may do this but you aren't obliged to), while rejecting the concept of "moral responsibility" as misconceived, useless, harmful and/or erroneous.
This is what I do, I rarely use it in handheld mode (but I do appreciate the ability to). Valve sells a dock with HDMI out (along with ethernet, USB, etc), and I can confirm that it works wirelessly with Xbox controllers.
It's the other way around. It's not legal unless these people are under an executive branch department or agency, with department heads appointed by the president, and confirmed by the Senate.

These people have not all been vetted, hired, and granted security clearances appropriate to the level of access they've obtained.

All of this is illegal.
You are correct, the last time I had to replace my 530, the 530 was on sale due to the 540 coming out so I bought the 530 on sale and haven't thought about it since. For some reason I thought I bought a 540 after comparing the product pages for so long.
I mean you could impeach him again. But that's doesn't really do anything other than wave a finger at him and says "Naughty naughty".

Hell, the guy is able to re-run and win the elected office again after being impeached a few times during his previous administration. Congress needs to affirm his impeachment to force him out of office and that requires a supermajority, which will never happen. Trump could kill someone on national TV and he would maybe get impeached, but he'd have enough friends in congress defending his actions that he would still be president. I mean he's already a convicted criminal.

That's why he just doesn't care anymore and is going crazy as if no laws exist. Laws mean nothing to him. At worst they are an annoyance or noise to him, but he already proved that nothing can stop him.
Is economic dominance the right metric to be looking at?

Yes, the US is the biggest economy. This doesn’t mean its ability to pay liabilities is infinite. Every amount of income has a particular amount of debt and interest that it is able to pay.

Take the largest company. It would not be able to service infinite debt. Apple could not service $5 trillion in debt, just like the US could not service 300 trillion.

I get why some people are concerned about the US’s liabilities and its global police status.

Also stopping giving many other countries billions of dollars a year after might be drastic. But I see why some people may not like this. Individuals can give to charities instead if this is really such a problem for them.

Now cutting research and other things is really dumb. Glad they reversed that quickly. Also needlessly licking fights with our neighbors is also really dumb.

> But I've always gotten confused with... it is secure because by default it can't do much.

Yes. That’s a super accurate description. You’re not confused.

> I don't quite understand how to view WebAssembly. You write in one language, it compiles things like basic math (nothing with network or filesystem) to another and it runs in an interpreter.

Almost. Wasm is cheap to JIT compile and the resulting code is usually super efficient. Sometimes parity with native execution.

> I feel like I have a severe lack/misunderstanding. There's a ton of hype for years, lots of investment... but it isn't like any case where you want to add Lua to an app you can add WebAssembly/vice versa?

It’s definitely a case where the investment:utility ratio is high. ;-)

Here’s the trade off between embedding Lua and embedding Wasm:

- Both have the problem that they are only as secure as the API you expose to the guest program. If you expose `rm -rf /` to either Lua or Wasm, you’ll have a bad time. And it’s surprisingly difficult to convince yourself that you didn’t accidentally do that. Security is hard.

- Wasm is faster than Lua.

- Lua is a language for humans, no need for another language and compiler. That makes Lua a more natural choice for embedded scripting.

- Lua is object oriented, garbage collected, and has a very principled story for how that gets exposed to the host in a safe way. Wasm source languages are usually not GC’d. That means that if you want to expose object oriented API to the guest program, then it’ll feel more natural to do that with Lua.

- The wasm security model is dead simple and doesn’t (necessarily) rely on anything like GC, making it easier to convince yourself that the wasm implementation is free of security vulnerabilities. If you want a sandboxed execution environment then Wasm is better for that reason.

Right. So, the basic principle is: if you think you're doing something valorious and can rationalize the result, you can ruin the lives of whomever you like.

This doesn't seem to be a huge leap from the rationalization for "doxxing" in any other period.
> instead of making such drastic measures necessary.

These drastic measures are neither necessary[1] nor legal (Well, they are a necessary step in carrying out a self-coup...) But there's nobody left to prosecute or enforce the law.

First they came for the judges and made sure that the courts were stacked... And then they could do what they want, because they have the police, the army, and the courts.

The thing is, all the other ways you can compromise the kernel from microcode are at least theoretically detectable. A security researcher could study how the cpu operates and find the exploit. If RDRAND is surreptitiously replacing all your random numbers with AES of the current time, you cannot find that out from observing behavior.

I agree that worrying about RDRAND shouldn't probably be on the top of anyone's priorities, but there is some cause to at least use it defensively, for example using it to pre-fill buffers with random values in a different context, so that subversion would in the very least require memory references, instead of running RDRAND in the context of your RNG.

almost all of the most useful scripting languages are some sort of bridge to native functionality . PHP, awk, Perl , to a lesser degree python.

The author is trying to bring the better type checking, concurrency, deterministic syntax and error handling of go to the world of shell scripting.

Most scripts end up becoming programs themselves and go beyond their original scope. It would be nice to force better concurrency & error handling early on before the script takes on 5k lines of functionality.

Yeah mitmproxy is great. The main difference with httptap is that it's an HTTP proxy server, so you have to configure your program to use a proxy server. When I wrote httptap I wanted to be able to run `httptap <command>` and see the httptraces right there in standard output. There is an absolute ton of cool things that mitmproxy can do that httptap is not even close to, like interactively modifying HTTP requests and such. Very cool project.

This feels correct-ish, but also pretty unrealistic. If you're born into a system where you have to choose between getting slapped and getting stabbed, then obviously the system shouldn't have been made that way -- that doesn't change the fact that it is that way, and you have to act within that system regardless of what ought to be the system instead.
> Executives from U.S. steel companies were enthusiastic backers of the 2018 tariffs and have urged Trump to deploy them again in his second term. They have called for the elimination of tariff exemptions and duty-free import quotas, saying those carve-outs allow unfairly low-price steel to enter the U.S. and undermine the steel market.

[…]

> Higher prices for imported steel are often followed by domestic suppliers raising their own prices, which then get passed through supply chains, manufacturing executives said. For consumers already reeling from rising retail prices and inflation, pricier steel and aluminum could further lift costs for durable goods like appliances and automobiles, as well as consumer products with aluminum packaging, such as canned beverages.
