Er, no.

The more honest answer is that we'll never know what would've happened because he didn't ask the librarian--trying to make any stronger a claim is assumption.
The Little Schemer and Reasoned Schemer are tremendously fun reads. Little Schemer's writing and presentation style is the standard by which I compare all technical books now.

The books happen to use scheme as their teaching platform but the books are entirely about communicating the concepts that happen to be a part of scheme.

The way the Little Schemer teaches recursion is absolutely brilliant.

If I found myself teaching an intro programming class that would be a part of the curriculum as it is short and communicates the concept in a way that is inescapable while not being dry whatsoever and can be entirely read in a few short settings at most.

By the way, I know from personal experience that at least the majority of the books listed in Jao's scheme bookshelf can be readily worked through in a Common Lisp that supports full TCO, which according to an article from 2011 (http://0branch.com/notes/tco-cl.html) is at least

CMUCL
SBCL
CCL
Allegro
LispWorks

I happen to have used SBCL, but I imagine the others would work just as well for these purposes.

Having not worked through them, I cannot confirm whether Programmer avec Scheme or Lisp in Small Pieces can be worked through in CL with slight modifications to the source but I do not see why not.

Google suggests that there does not exist a translation of Programmer avec Scheme anywhere, and no reviews are available on either amazon.fr or amazon.com; that is unfortunate.
But without the GPU what Apple machines other than Mac Pros will decently drive a 4k display? [1]

Apple's left the Pro line to languish for so long, I can't imagine they'd let it limit their ability to differentiate in the larger display business.

[1] And of those upgraded MBPs that could hit 4k aren't going to be able to do it on two displays, which is quite popular.
If depression and suicidal thoughts are not logical or rational, how can anyone outside of the condition hope to interact with someone suffering from it?
Ew. Put that victim blaming away, sir.
"But blaming those who commit such an act is the easy way out."

You have to admit that people that commit suicide are primarily responsible for their own deaths. That's like saying, people who drink alcohol are primarily responsible for getting drunk - it's just true prima face.

He killed himself, therefore he was responsible for his own death.
Manning isn't a whistleblower. He just mass stole information and released it. Couldn't even known or read everything.
Bloomberg -- I'm planning on setting up the market data API for anyone that wants to use it as part of what they're working on.
iOS fragmentation is masked by using the same version number on devices that support different api's. Clever perhaps, but fragmented like Android.
Comment Is Free, for anyone wondering...
Everyone understands that as the reason for it, but it doesn't make it less rude or overbearing.

If I have a problem with the food, I'll get a waiters attention - perhaps with a snap of my fingers - which is expected and not at all rude and let the waiter know.

Snapping my fingers at the waiter isn't something I'd ever do in the US though.
And who is to decide whether the leaked documents demonstrate government wrongdoing or not? If not for whistleblowers, we wouldn't even know that these wrongdoings exist, which would preclude our ability to judge them as such. This is the fallacy behind government secrecy.

Information must always be free --- non-disclosure contracts never take precedence over the First Amendment. Imagine if the Nazis were somehow able to cover up the Holocaust, would a non-disclosure contract prevent a German citizen from leaking the existence of the genocide? But you say, genocide is clearly wrong. But without the leaked information, how would we even know a genocide happened?
We're currently undergoing a complete frontend re-write (after we have proved with prototype we can make money) using Angular and I must say it's been an emotional rollercoaster with plenty of love and hate, but at the end of the day, love wins hands down. I haven't used much Backbone, so you could say I'm biased, but the truth is that Angular really teaches HTML new tricks (directives) which can save you days (or weeks) of development.

We're pairing it with Breeze (http://www.breezejs.com/) in order to preload all the entities when user logs in - hopefully achieving 0 waiting time when user clicks around. This part hasn't started yet, but I'm planning a series of blog posts once done.
I was using hyperbole. In the English language at least, it is used as a rhetorical device. Other examples:

1. "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse": Rarely is the person actually capable of eating a horse.

2. "I'd die if he found out": Rarely would the person actually die. They'd probably be mortified (ah ha, nice pun there, eh?).

3. "Everyone's a critic": Nope, not everyone. Some people are not critics.

Microsoft is killing Surface with breakdancing, and it’s going to hurt Xbox One
I included it because I felt it was too good to leave out despite the fact that it uses Scheme. Lisp in Small Pieces is also mostly Scheme, though some CL features are covered in detail (I was look for some excuse for it to make the cut).

I'll edit the post though and note those two things to avoid potential confusion.
I;m very happy with my Surface RT purchase. I didn't want the weight of the Surface Pro and am fine with knowing that if I have to do any dev work I'll switch to my full size laptop. As a media consumption device it's great, especially if you have an existing library of purchased Xbox movies.
Laveur—most folks that make it in have familiarity with some level of code. And if not there are night classes and workshops to get people starting to develop. The average iOS dev in Seattle makes over $90k—so $60k for a functional beginning dev is a highly sought after thing.
> By volunteering to join the military and obtain security clearance, Manning waived his First Amendment right to disclose anything he saw fit.

Yes. And how soon is it that our government locks everyone into a similar deal? Over 3 million people have security clearances. (And many more who don't have active ones, but are still bound by many of the rules around clearances.) How soon until you need clearance to do serious work in any number of areas?

How soon until giving up those rights is part of doing business? And is standard practice?

It already is in some areas of my field. I know of other subfields where the same is true.

Maybe it is time that we start protecting the rights of all and not pretending like those who have security clearances are an extremely rare exception whose rights can be waived without issue.

I'm not saying the rules should be that anyone can disclose whatever classified information they like, because obviously that doesn't work. But I don't think because someone made a choice at some point in their lives to get a clearance means we shouldn't discuss what circumstances and latitude they should get to speak their minds.
The reasons they are killing people right now do not include "our nations independence", or anything resembling it. That is just the propaganda line they use to sell the military to children in high-schools.
One of these days, we're going to stop using the word "hero" just because there's a connection to the military.

Hopefully, we'll stop using it as a magical synonym for "I like this person".

On the Importance of the Standard Library
I believe the hackathon is student-run so you're not doing much by protesting it besides hurting the efforts of some unrelated students.
In my experience it's less of a question as to whether one buys into or doesn't buy into the idea of privilege and more one of whether one understands it or (perhaps willfully) misunderstands or only bothers to gain a partial grasp of the concept. It's hardly a tool native to third wave feminism; the most famous essay on the idea is chiefly about white privilege. [1] Anyways, why must one "implicitly accept" the idea to "make sense" of the article? Do we need to accept Communist-Leninism to make sense of Das Capital? I find it hard to believe that you've never understood any piece of writing that you don't already agree with.

Ok, I was wrong.
This is just a cultural difference. You expect American style service from a different culture with different values and manners. What's "rude" to you is acceptable and even polite there. You will have to learn to deal with this as normal. When I was living in a European country I was told about this in advance from the locals who gave me an orientation. What bothered me most was some of the other Americans I was with complaining about how "rude" all the locals were. They were the ones being rude by expecting the entire world be have the same concept of manners as them.

What incentive does a cook have to give you a good meal if she's making a standard wage and no tips?

What incentive does a dishwasher have to do a proper job washing your dishes if she's making a standard wage and no tips?

What incentive does a fast food employee have to good service if she's making a standard wage and no tips?

What incentive does a barista have to good service if she's making a standard wage and no tips?

I made $120K at my first iOS programming job and I had 0 weeks of experience, so $60K for 8 weeks sounds like a bargain for the employer.
How about we just don't backup anything? That's the user's job, and if they didn't do it, they know their data is 100% gone, no backsies, when they delete it. So maybe they'll be more careful. Backups are a moral hazard.

But seriously, I don't see an issue here. There are backups for a reason. If it takes too much time to go through the bureaucracy of requesting backed up data, that sounds like the problem that needs to be fixed, not the existence of the "rm" command. And if the delay is there on purpose, it sounds like everything is going according to plan. What's the problem?
To my mind, the big idea here is that containers will self-configure. This is configuration _inside_ the container, rather than configuration from _outside_ the container (like Chef/Puppet etc).

This means that your Docker container doesn't need to run a Chef/Puppet/SSH configuration agent. It will need some sort of "discover my config and configure myself" process running, which would perform much the same role though.

In other words, the container is "smart" and self-assembles. If you need to add more webserver capacity (for scaling), you just launch more webserver containers; they will register themselves with the load balancer and attach to the database.

Of course, building these smart containers is non-trivial, so I'm eager to see some real-world examples.
Seems like they have a porn empire coming.
"This means fully comprehending the circumstances that led to their choice, and this means holding those to account that contributed to it."

"their choice" is the key bit here.

We can (and should!) look at circumstances as you've described, but it does a disservice to everyone to accept a suicide as the result of anything other than the individual's choice--this cheapens the act.
A young lady who I knew from my high school, who doesn't speak Japanese, visited me in Japan one year. We went to my favorite sushi shop, where I've been a regular for 8 years.

As we were walking home, she said "That sushi was so excellent I left a $10 tip."

"We have to go back."

"WHAT?"

"You don't tip in Japan. We have to go back."

"Maybe YOU don't tip in Japan, Mr. Stingypants, but I tip in Ja..."

"Matttttttttttttttttttttttte"

"Who was that?"

"That's the sushi guy, who has commandeered his grandmother's bicycle to chase after us."

"Why would he do that?"

"Here, I'll translate for him."

"Huff. Puff. Your... girlfriend... dropped... her... money."

"She's not my girlfriend."

"Alright then, Ms. Totally Platonic dropped her money. Tell her to be a bit more careful with it? There's all sorts of forei... people in Ogaki who might steal money that's just left on a table like that."

It's not terrible service, it's just a welcome hug to foreigners. If you like the place or the food, give a small tip, come back, and you will be befriended by a smile.

Yes. It should be replaced with wipe(1) instead.

You can buy a recent Quad City Challenger kit for much less than that, and even fully assembled by someone else you're looking in the $30k range http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quad_City_Challenger#cite_note-...

I'm assuming they're planning on making it a partial kit, and if you're expected to 3d print some of the parts $15k for "other" supplies (mostly avionics and engine) sounds pretty reasonable to me.
Learning to fly a glider is relatively inexpensive. It's a very different skillset than flying with an engine, but it sounds like a lot of fun. There are glider clubs in many cities where you can learn. I'm hoping to start sometime soon!

Containers aren't virtualized, they're just isolated from each other. That's why they're cool.

Instead of working at the IaaS level for each app, you can have IaaS provide a cluster for containers to run in, and then put up a personal PaaS built out of containers - have more flexibility, spend less money, app folks don't have to worry about infra as much.

And in the case that you're at a scale that you can use real hardware (or a hybrid approach), it's easy to move without the containers having to worry about it.
That is something we would like to do. We started with virtualized hardware because it is easy for people to try out on their own stuff or other providers.

Also, we are just getting started and didn't want to try and support everything day 0. :)
Thank you for saying this. It's important not to be suckered into the get rich-enough-without-much-work/4 hr work week dream.
The idea that what is not explicitly prohibited is permitted is a very American attitude toward the laws, rules and regulations.

As an illustration, compare the structure of the rules of NFL American Football:

I just noticed the top bar says it wants to use my location [allow/deny], sorry about that! :)

I'm in Chrome on a 13" MBP. I allowed it, but I think it zoomed in a little too far, you should try giving a wider outlook in the general area the user is located in.
Throwing yourself upon a pyre is only furthers your cause when very specific conditions are met. For Rosa Parks and MLK, those conditions were met. For Snowden, they surely were not.

There is no reason to throw yourself upon a pyre if it does not further your cause, and indeed many reasons not to.
I mean that's what I do, and I actually know angular reasonably well, so I'm not complaining about this particular case. I do agree that you learn by doing, at the same time though, any technology will have some specifics as to how you put things together and you can either (a) learn those by trying things out and see what sticks (b) learn from people who had the same issues and study how they solved it. A combined approach is probably the best since if you do only (a) you might miss some details that might be important for really leveraging the power of the platform.

And what you are arguing is exactly the approach that Rails tutorial takes. You are building something and the book serves as your guide to reduce guesswork.
why would a rm wrapper, with move to trash behavior by default, break scripts?

It's not that simple though, they do maintenance on cars as well so they'd need to be able to access those access codes as well. There probably should've been some oversight to make sure someone looking up thousands of VINs gets flagged somewhere, but it's reasonable to allow dealerships access to codes for cars they'd need to work on.
To be honest, there is no application I currently miss on my Windows RT. Except foobar2000 maybe.

But where you are spot-on is for old games: the ARM has got enough punch to run them and it would turn the RT into an old game portable console.

The other thing that isn't very great is Windows Media Player. It's painful to browse files from a NAS for example.

So a couple of rough edges, but overall, really great.
I'm pretty sure the origin is in irony because if someone overheard you calling them "cheap" or a negative stereotype there would be a problem, but if you we overheard calling them "Canadian" it's a lot more benign. I've heard "Canadian" used when working in restaurants outside of Texas, so I think it's fairly common in the US.
Good and evil are highly subjective concepts.

Even if that information could get soldiers killed if released to the public? You waive certain rights when you join the U.S. military.
I'm not saying people aren't still choosing Backbone/variants today, just that 2 years ago, Angular was (1) not a nearly as viable an option and (2) not nearly as well known; so any time /company-size correlation will push the results in one direction.

edit: although interestingly, looking at the respective wikipedia entries, AngularJS has an initial release listed in 2009, Backbone.js is listed as October, 2010
Thank you for clarifying. While I still disagree, I can respect your opinion.
Oh look, irc channel, docs, etc.. oh and you can't get access to it without registering to something, with full details, and maybe get elected.

I would think that this is not that hard to make something similar from any existing distro, with actual build steps, etc.

Ie the "open source way", and not something with probable financial interest.
I'm an aussie and I find it really annoying as well. Definitely cultural. Be polite & friendly at point of order, and then stay out of the way.

A reply below you says its to make sure you got what you ordered, etc. I could count on a few fingers the times ive ever got the wrong thing/meal, and then you just ask.
>To take the stance that 'they're putting themselves in front of bullets for their own reasons, but not for me' is incredibly selfish and myopic.

No, it is the result of a critical (and perhaps cynical) examination of and conclusion about the motives for the initiation and continuance of the war(s) our military is involved in.

>Your other option is to try living in a country with a ragtag militia and government with an organized-crime-level-of-corruption. Let me know how that works.

That's a ridiculously false dichotomy.
That's the risk for whistleblowers. You have to be careful what you leak, and make sure that it is relevant. That's one reason why this case and the Snowden case are very different. Manning leaked a ton of stuff, a lot of which wasn't applicable. Snowden leaked very specific things, so he has a better shot at being considered a legit whistleblower.

Also - Godwin. Don't use Nazis as examples, it just diminishes your argument.

A plea deal would have required a guilty plea, guilty of stealing info he believed should be free. Asking him to violate his core beliefs was probably almost as bad to him as a 35 year sentence. It'd be like requiring RM Stallman to endorse commercial proprietary software.

Not sure, but it may be a legal issue. Some things that are legal in the US aren't in Europe. Some product contain materials that aren't legal in Europe.
In Canada, for a homebuilt LSA-equivalent you need to have the aircraft inspected and first flight performed by someone certified by Nav Canada. And no way he's going to risk his life in-flight unless he's pretty damn sure your aircraft is airworthy.
I also read "the mustache guy" blog and a perspective that might help you understand him better is he's all about controlling the location of his personal poverty line, not convincing himself that living at some supposedly universal poverty line is cool. By working the system and thinking really hard (well, by median american standards) his personal poverty line is probably a quarter of mine. That's how both of us live pretty well, despite him getting only about 1/4 what I do. He travels around the world about as much as I do, we both have similar goal of eating high quality food.

The other thing he's really hot for is self control. He spends like a drunken sailor; its just he only spends like a drunken sailor on things that are worth spending like a drunken sailor on. There's a lot of insight in the old unsourced W C Fields quote "I spent half my money on gambling, alcohol, and wild women. The other half I wasted." Ice cream just shows up on the "wasted" list.

The saga of the ice cream is a perfect example of sophistry as an attack mode. He was using it as a great individual example about philosophy. The folks attacking him piled onto the tree and completely missed the forest. For our educated HN readers, imagine a modern Plato telling the "allegory of the cave" and a bunch of people declaring Plato an idiot because they personally don't live in a cave and they use lightbulbs not camp fires, therefore the whole story and everything it implies is completely useless to everyone. That's a pretty good summary of the negative reaction to the ice cream saga.

I don't think that flexible creative thinking, and self control, fit in very well with the modern mass media advertising narrative; Its an existential threat to them. Can predict he would get intense pushback from the drones, and in practice, he does.

There's an old saying about Americans would rather die than think. Well, if you make fun of them for doing something stupid, the loud ones get belligerent.
> Well, look at Google, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and reddit. These are "Silicon Valley startups".

None of those are Silicon Valley startups, and Facebook and Twitter never were Silicon Valley startups.
Simply replacing 'rm' with a no-op or error command (or removing it entirely) would break scripts. Trash can would not.

Just like the title says. I've googled, I've read, but I still haven't found a concise, easy-to-understand explanation of what a monad is. I hope someone here will share a valuable insight.
