Not really. None of the relevant (= you could buy them and use them) Lisp Machines did not evaluate Lisp forms - the evaluator was a program, too. They all used a processor which provided a special instruction set and Lisp datastructures. For example the processor of the Symbolics Lisp Machine was a mostly stack machine running compiled Lisp code.
You can compare it to running JVM instructions in hardware.
Thus the Symbolics Lisp Machine had C, Ada, Pascal and other languages implemented for it.
out of 4 Russian sounding last names, 2 are Latvian citizens, born there in 87 and 89. Latvia got separated somewhen during 89-91. Considering the situation with Russians in Baltic states, these guys are most probably not "Latvians", yet they are probably noticeably different from "Russians" (similarly to children of many Russian immigrants in US).
Suggest HN: make a separate community just for Bitcoin articles
I feel like HN is being taken over by news about Bitcoin. I find Bitcoin fascinating and interesting, but far too many articles are posted about it here. It's just a lot of pro/con churn and very little real news.

Bitcoin will take some time to evolve. Don't miss the forest for the trees; don't miss the trees for the bark.
in regards to your point #2:
This is from DevBootCamps website (a similar code school in SF + Chicago) -
"Our goal is for everyone who wants full-time employment to get multiple offers, but we obviously can't guarantee or predict that. In 2012, over 90% of the graduates looking for a job found one within 2 months graduation, with an average starting salary of over $80k."
There are a lot of mentors and almost all of them are very involved with the tech seen in Omaha and the midwest. Some have their businesses, some are recruiters, and some are just very good programmers. To my knowledge, none of them are actually full time.

Setting up mail servers is hard because email is a very old technology. What we do today with message queues, they used to do with email. The protocols are monstrosities from what I'm told and there are lots of moving pieces.

The best thing to do is to find a solution that pretty much sets itself up and don't tweak the knobs unless you need to. Probably someone on here can suggest a nice solution.

Also, being a smart programmer has nothing to do with skill in setting up servers, which is more of an Ops task. It's one thing to write good code, it's a completely different skill to walk through installation manuals and editing config files.

I correctly called the peak at 1200 (although I did not think it would peak there twice), and I'm calling the bottom at 300. This article has a very poor opening:

Bitcoin is based on the idea that money gets its intrinsic value from its scarcity, which is a misconception since money gets its intrinsic value from the volume of transactions involving goods and services that use it

No, bitcoin is based on the idea that money gets its intrinsic value from its trust model. That's why it has advanced crypto-mathematics to establish verifability, and so forth. Now. Bitcoin promoters think that the scarcity can drive the value up to the point where it becomes widely adopted. Criticism of this model to spur adoption may be totally fair.
Hey everyone,

I made this little tool a few days ago to help me keep track of the bitcoin/USD price since it has been so volatile. I was going to wait a few more days and polish up the site before making a HN post, but given how bitcoin is tanking hard right now I think it's an appropriate time to release.

Currently it supports alerts based on fixed $ movements and % change of price over time. Let me know what you guys think and if there are any features that I should add!
At the rate we are daming rivers, we will destroy many river ecosystems. This seems less harmful than dams and could be a bridge until the energy costs of desalination are low enough .

If this discovery spurs investment in desalination (since this is simply cheaper desalination due to the lower salinity) that would an added benefit as it would accelerate the move toward desalination. Perhaps we could skip the dams entirely.
>If a guaranteed income does in fact provide enough of the labor force with an incentive to drop out as an alternative, then it seems likely that employers would have to stop thinking of resume gaps as an indicator.

Now, while I agree that gaps are considered way more important than they ought to be, experience is really, really important. Someone who has done a thing for ten years is going to be way better than someone who has done the same thing for only two, all other things being equal. Really, experience makes such a big difference that even without other things being equal, the person with a decade of experience is usually better.

Hell, this is one of those things that the unions and management agree on. All other things being equal, a more experienced worker is going to be more effective and productive.

Gaps matter too. I mean, I agree that they aren't as big of a deal as most employers make them out to be, but all other things being equal, the kid who has been doing the job for the last five years is going to be better than the kid who did the job for five years, then took five years off to catch up on netflix.

This sounds like a combination of a browser exploit and probably some basic HID driver interaction.

The yahoo email account was the opportunity -- so they either MITM'd the session, used some kind of client/server injection, or -- more likely; they're in bed with yahoo? (We can confirm their involvement from Snowden's leaks...)

The only real fascinating part here is probably the browser exploit. The rest sounds like standard fluff for what happens when you let an unauthorized process onto your computer.

Back in the 90's, hackers used these tricks all the time. It was easy once you got onto someone's computer. See for yourself -- :)

Super cool. Good work.
It's also easy if you live in Germany or a German speaking surrounding. Being immersed into a German speaking surrounding helps - learning without other Germans from training material is less motivating, so it looks difficult. What actually the difficult part is, is the motivation, not the language. For somebody from an English speaking country learning German is not really difficult - English has lots of Germanic roots. It's just that many people in English-speaking countries don't learn any foreign language to a competent level, not even the easier ones, so everything looks difficult. What really would be a bit more 'difficult' is language with a different alphabet (Russian) or a language which is different on many levels (Japanese).
It also depends on what level you want to be able to read German. If you want to be able to read philosophers (Kant, Schopenhauer, Hegel, Jaspers, Habermas, ...) then the subject is also difficult - it would help if you understand/know the concepts already - they are often independent of the language.
English is also difficult. Parts of the language are easy, but the language is huge. I can read many english texts quite fluently, but there are novels where I am at 10% reading speed (compared to english texts from typical news sources) when I want to understand 95% of the words.
That prospective schedule is ambitious (as I'm sure it has to be with the goal of taking novices to junior dev), I'd strive to build in some time for exercise. Three months of intensive coding without a physical outlet could easily lend itself to some unhealthy lifestyle choices. Might as well try to instill balance at the same as good coding habits.

It's not something we are "upset" about, and considering the level of English you used throughout the rest of your post and response, I'm not sure "not a native" is a valid excuse.

I suspect if you aren't a native, the reason you say "my friends and me" is because it's a bad habit you've picked up from natives, like typing "gonna". I think anyone who can make a sentence such as,

"We cleaned up the procedure names manually, and matched the procedure related specialties to the hospital specialty ranking made by US News, and it gives much better perspective to the users"

is far beyond making English 101 mistakes confusing objects and subjects of sentences. Actually, in 15 years of on and off English teaching, I have run into very few non-natives who have that issue, since they had to actually study it. I find you to be somewhat unique.

In any case, there are plenty of natives who consistently say write and say this, so hopefully a few of them will take it to heart.

But our core APIs are still written like its 1980.

Exactly what level of abstraction is good for the "core APIs"? Something actually has to send a series of bytes to be written to the disk, even if a bunch of serialization and encoding abstractions are written on top of that. If the latter is the "core", what's the less abstract stuff that inside that?

In the UK, we can never directly access our capital upon retirement ( even for a private, self-managed pension ).

The best we can do is withdraw 25% as a lump sum and then buy an annuity with the remainder ( or draw-down a Government-controlled small % each year ).

Not much of a safety net.

So naturally people decide to use a different savings vehicle, one in which they can decide how to use the capital. Hence the headline 'underfunding' of our personal pensions.

It's a problem, but I think if you really value time, you can make it.

I've found that the best way to spend less time on e-mail is to send it very infrequently. I used to send tons of e-mail at work, and that was valuable to me at the time. Now I choose very carefully what to reply to, because every message I send means I will get something in return. It's pretty astoundingly effective.

Another strategy is to keep an odd schedule. I generally get to my desk around 2pm, so I'm sufficiently out of sync with people who get to their desk at 9 or 10am. It's also good because there so little (bike) traffic that I can space out and think on the commute.

If you and your whole family live in the U.S. and you have a couple credit cards, a debit card, and a bank account, Bitcoin is going to seem pretty useless. For you, the US dollar does just fine.

But the rest of the world isn't like the U.S. I visited Latvia recently, and my bank refused to let me withdraw money. Florida is full of Cuban Americans who want to send money to Cuba. Many people are imprisoned. The world is full of borders that make moving money difficult.

Bitcoin's market cap is moving towards where it needs to be to float all of those transactions. Even if no one uses it to store value, and no one uses it to buy groceries, it is still immensely valuable just as a means to move value from one location to another. Even if no one holds Bitcoin for more than two weeks, it will still have a market cap far north of a billion dollars.
This is pretty well done. Fluid, visually appealing. What is it running on the backend?

>It is a "bailout" because the government originally claimed that Social Security would be a self-sustaining investment system, as far as I understand it.

Please do your research. The government claimed no such thing.

here is as good a place to start as any:

http://www.ssa.gov/history/fdrstmts.html

Social security was a government program. Funded by taxes. From the start.

Note, the first generation? yeah, the retired folks got social security benefits right away, even though they had paid in nothing. This very clearly made it not work as an investment.

I mean, it's perfectly reasonable to disagree with safety net programs.

But don't claim that our safety net programs are bad as investments when they are clearly not investments at all.
Only if you make the "bing" noise though. Don't be so obvious.
App Academy also has no upfront payment. I hope that in the long run App Academy and Hacker School will be able to differentiate themselves from the hoard of somewhat scammy cash-up-front programs that seem to be popping up everywhere and churning out grads of dubious quality. By delaying payment and tying their compensation to student success, AA+HS are able to be very selective about who they admit which sets up a positive feedback in terms of student outcome and program reputation.

Some big red flags, in my opinion, about Omaha School web page as it currently stands:

-- Who is actually teaching this class from the crowd of mentors depicted? Are they competent/qualified and have they been respected/successful in their career up to this point? Why are they doing this? The "Who We Are" is currently just pictures and twitter links, which doesn't inspire confidence.

-- I see absolutely no information about outcomes for program grads. Industry average salaries doesn't mean squat, because people doing this bootcamp don't have the profile of the average junior dev with a CS degree and the knowledge/experience that entails. What is the average salary of a program grad and what kind of places are they working? What percent drop out? What percent are kicked out because they can't learn at the pace required? (Kicking people out occasionally is good and indicates there is some combination of rigor/expectation/structure.)

-- The application asks nothing of the applicant and emphasizes how low their expectations are. This signals desperation to me. And what's with the weird age buckets?

> Euros have also swung around by 15-20% over the past 2-3 years.

In relation to the dollar. Which is totally irrelevant for day to day transactions inside the Euro zone. I still pay the same price for a coffee I did 2-3 years ago.

But at the moment Bitcoin volatility is still huge: It's currently not reasonable to offer coffee for a fixed number of Bitcoins, that, say, stay stable over a year.

Your analogy between debit cards and Bitcoins seems a bit flawed too: For the purposes of international transfers it might be apt, but for small day to day business like buying coffee, it may be better to compare it to cash. And then there's no bank stopping you from transacting in cash.
Difficult to say if that's the case for hospitals, since they run on public money anyway, so they could run at a deficit and it would hide the higher cost than what they charge.

But in all cases, social security pays exactly what you are billed.

In most cases you pay yourself the hospital, clinic, doctor, whatever, and social security then gives you part of the costs (depending on the procedure) and if you have one, your private health insurance gives you the rest (or less, depending on your plan, of course).

The tendency is at removing the unnecessary payment by the patient before being reimbursed, but for now this at least serves as a way to ensure you know exactly how much was paid for the procedure, and to prevent too many excesses (since, well, the patient has to be able to pay, even if he gets reimbursed).
My kids come home brainwashed from school all of the time. I have to sit them down and have them think about what is being taught to them so they can look at it objectively and make their own decisions.

Virtual reality is going to boom over the rest of this decade. The gaming industry will drive it into the consumer space over the next few years, to wide adoption. That'll dramatically increase the money being put toward the industry, leading to an ever faster cycle of improvement.

Hollywood will follow the gaming industry on this technology wise. I'd predict that within 10 to 15 years, we'll see movies attempting to build out virtual reality experiences in theaters. For $30, they'll put you into an immersive VR version of the Avengers sequel that exists at the time.
Hmm, I looked pretty hard several times on Amazon for a soylent type product and that was the best one I found. It could be that type of thing doesn't sell well, but we will find out once soylent hits mass production.

So much cynicism. Oh well, this is Apple news so that's to be expected.

Apple has a history of doing this. You might say (and certainly most here have) that they are attempting to promote the brand through use of Mandela's image but it's an image on their homepage. They didn't advertise the fact with newsletter or social media fanfare.

Maybe some people just really admired Nelson Mandela. Some people that have the power to decide what goes on Apple's homepage.

We recently started working with a client in the fashion industry. One look at our studio and she had nothing positive to say. Apparently it's very drab, and it is.

That's not quite accurate. NTFS has fine-grained permissions, including execute (which is independent of read/open). If a program decides to download or save an attachment and leave execute permissions set, then yes, you can execute it.

It'd not be any different on Linux if your email client saved attachments and marked them +x. Now as a matter of defaults, sure Windows is different.
That was the challenge, I couldn't think of a way to make everyone in the whole world want the product but it seemed like an interesting problem because giant blades spinning just can't be the future of wind energy. The blades take out too many birds and make too much noise. There is a wind energy project maybe 40 miles from me, the installation of the towers and movement of the dirt has caused dust storms for the local residents. A funnel system could be longer and have more support of a wider area, requiring less digging. Big corporations would only switch if they can build it for less and make more money through additional production from each unit so it is unlikely there is big money in developing it, it would have to be a Bill Gates type save the world project and give the designs away for free.
