> If they lived in America, they did.

I think that is the point. Many (maybe most? I don't know) did not. Only a quarter of my family tree has people living in America before ~1930.

Did they, being white people in a still racist society, benefit from not being black in the 1930s? Sure, of course they did. They didn't have anything to do with American slavery though.
I'll admit I hadn't really look at this in depth, using S3 without a CDN solved a particular use case I had a while ago, and it just seemed unnecessary to add a CDN in front of it. I've been doing some reading today, and it seems I was wrong. Adding a CDN in front adds lots of benefits I didn't know about!

I'll update the article soon to add in the new information.

I usually check portfolios just so I keep my own list of good designers, I'm not really seeking to hire any for now but might do so in the future. I checked your website and your works looks very interesting. I did however found two issues.

- I usually like to check sites which are part of the portfolio but I couldn't find any link to the projects which you worked on. I'd say you should consider adding it.

- The type you have chosen doesn't look that good in Windows. If you can't understand why I'm saying this you can reach me and I'll send you some screenshots.

Keep up the good work!
There's a BIG difference in ecosystems if a system starts out with pervasive threading or doesn't. In a slightly different domain, I saw this back when I was doing NT programming in the '90s. From the start it provided threads and plenty of thread safe stuff (and plenty not, including the MCV++ Standard Template Library in 1997, although that was mostly of an initial botch of the port from the HP? code), and this made quite a difference compared to trying to write threaded programs for UNIX(TM).

If you're not going to limit yourself to copying paradigms like the Actor model I argue you're going to be in for a world of hurt, even as your ecosystem matures, because you'll almost certainly have non-thread safe stuff from the days when the community wasn't considering threading.

So all I'm saying in this argument is that Common Lisp is traversing this painful path, and will never be as optimal as it might be, because when it was cast into concrete in 1984 threads weren't part of it.

The Clojure argument for standard data structure syntax-literals, and strict limits on reader macros, is indeed legibility, defined as portability between humans. I think it's an issue, but one that I think we'll have to agree to disagree on. Although I don't see gaining CL compatibility as a goal, the foundations of the languages are too different (functional vs. multiparadigm including but not limited to functional).

I agree that age itself isn't a good criticism, I was pointing out how Common Lisp's extreme age has resulted in issues, and "age criticisms" could be interpreted that way.

This goes all the way back all the way to the very first late '50s LISP, e.g. while I personally like them, classic examples are Contents of the Address Register and Contents of the Decrement Register (car and cdr) of the vacuum tube IBM 704. More consequential are things like Lisp-2 vs. Lisp-1; maybe it's just a matter of taste and not having written enough macros in my career but I prefer the latter.

Hmmm, to sum up, one argument for Clojure is that we now known enough to create a more restrictive dialect and benefit from the good taste of Rick Hickey and now others who are helping to carry the language's torch. Callow youth though he might be, mrottenkolber is spot on when he says it's an opinionated language, and that'll certainly mean among other things that it'll not be to many experienced Lisper's taste (probably easier if you're a Schemer, though).

I harp on SMP programming because I find it, and the functional programming solutions to it, very interesting, not to mention it's just plain better for writing robust software. Closure seems to have done a good job using the latter to address the former, and gaining those other minor details guaranteed FP grants you.

Since the Apple store rankings are intentionally opaque and controlled by Apple for its own gain, I secretly hope that the Apple artificially ranks 53 Paper above Facebook Paper. At the end of the day Paper has been an excellent app for the Apple ecosystem and it would be a nice way to say "thanks" to 53. If this happens, then Facebook's use should help 53 get more downloads since most users will go along with the first result in the store.

Sounds a whole lot like you're trying to cast doubt on it. There's as close to a scientific consensus as you're likely to ever get that the Earth is warming at an unprecedented rate, and we're the cause of it.

It's helpful to analyze this the way a U.S. court likely would. Suppose hypothetically that the following are true:

(A) that the mark PAPER is protectable for what 53 sells -- and I think that's highly likely; PAPER in this context strikes me as a "suggestive" and therefore protectable mark [1]; and

(B) that 53 was the first user of the mark; and

(C) that there's a "likelihood of confusion" about the origin, sponsorship, or endorsement of the companies' products or services -- this entails looking at seven or eight factual questions, namely the "strength" of the mark; the proximity of the goods; the similarity of the marks in appearance and/or sound; any evidence of actual confusion; similarity in marketing channels used; the type of goods and the degree of care likely to be exercised by the purchaser
the junior user's intent in selecting the mark; and the likelihood of expansion of the respective product lines [2].

In that situation, as the junior user, Facebook would (or should) be liable for infringement.

Another point: 53 can be damaged by "reverse confusion," namely people thinking that 53 is the one that's ripping off Facebook [3].

"Levison turned over the keys as a nearly illegible computer printout in 4-point type. In early August, Hilton – who once served on the top-secret FISA court – ordered Levison again to provide them in the industry-standard electronic format, and began fining him $5,000 a day for noncompliance. After two days, Levison complied, but then immediately shuttered Lavabit altogether. Levison is appealing the contempt order."

But I was a bit put off by the notion of meeting a recruiter over coffee (or lunch based on the photos?). The only person I'd meet for coffee would be a founder or employee.

The reflection may not stop at the language. Many of these "terrible" framework/languages have plenty of folks accomplishing a lot of stuff with them.

Not trying to claim that everyone that complains is bad/wrong. Rather, the field often acknowledges that learning a new language can help "learn a new way to think." Seems that sometimes we neglect that one needs to learn the way of thinking for the language/framework they have, and less worrying about the language/framework they wish they had.
They already made that, it's called an emulator.
It doesn't work like that. It is not a nice, evenly spread warm breeze. It is rising oceans and extreme weather.

OSM is constantly importing bulk data sets, anyway. For instance, in the UK the NAPTAN database was imported, giving the location and reference codes for all public transport stops. Postcode (like ZIP code) data is imported from a monthly building sales data release. I noticed the other day that Northern France suddenly has all buildings marked, because of some government data import. There are bulk data imports happening every week somewhere in the world.

That isn't accurate. The YouTube app on several TVs (e.g. Samsung) can receive Chromecast streams.
also a brightscript/roku dev here. There's a nice code color plugin for sublime you can use and it's a bearable platform to develop on. Definitely use the console to just send the debug build up to the device and start debugging. It's really not that bad. Probably took me about a day to get used to it.

Honestly, as long as you stick within their control schemes you're fine. Trying to break out of the roku app controls leads to a total nightmare so be weary of that trap ;)

I'm not a lawyer so I can't say if the legal issues depicted were depicted accurately, but I recommend the show to anyone interested in the topic of surveillance for the purposes of law enforcement (as opposed to intelligence gathering) and how things can potentially go wrong despite their good intentions.

> "Correlation does not imply causation" is a neutral phrase.

In scientific context it is neutral. In political context it absolutely isn't.

For example, it's also the (ridiculous) argument used to argue that smoking doesn't cause cancer, or that you can't prove whether smoking causes cancer or whether cancer and smoking have a hidden shared cause. This became a fairly large debate in the 90s, even though the science is pretty one sided. If a scientific discussion can be derailed by arguments that are technically valid, that's a political problem.

In the case of global warming scientists can still disagree among themselves (as good scientists should), but from a political perspective there's consensus science has been settled 30 or so years ago. It's real, it's caused by us and now action has to be taken. Truisms like "Correlation does not imply causation" in a political context just impede the political change we need.

Agreed. I find that merely experiencing it (books, movies, video games, any media) is enough to form some bond with people later on down the road.
