DELETE CASCADE posted:isn't the whole point of lisp that you implement your dialect *in lisp*, as macros, rather than creating a whole new language? That's what Bel is, it's the macros and standard library. There's no official implementation as a usable language, it's just theory.

Progressive JPEG posted:that looks like flick, we were on flick and moved to electric kiwi, noticeably cheaper now despite flick being theoretically "market rate" every study in the real world has shown that the "market rate" vs normal billing is always higher since theres usually a minimum rate and connection service charges its almost like it was designed to be that way as a scam

speaking of the ~Free Market~quote:In the future your boss will assign work by auctioning JIRA tickets off to the team with a price ceiling set by freelancers on the LinkedIn marketplace. Payment will be through a bounty system. Salary is such an outdated payment structure

i am absolutely positive that the government today would no question spend 25 billion dollars to fund development of the most powerful bomb ever made. it would be the last thing on the budget after everything else was cut.

Ask HN: What tangible benefits did you get from spending time on HN? So I would like to know if any of you have such experiences. I am specifically looking for stories like: 1) I posted this project and I started some company. Sold it or earning a lot of money or living my dream 2) I was hired because of my post on HN. 3) Girls chasing you because of your reputation as HN or met your wife because of your cool project ( Please don't hate me for this) Basically money, power etc..

it's always wild to me not that people post dumb autistic poo poo on HN but that everyone just goes along with it. hmm yes let's just move taiwan to texas, that will work. Prison release code is buggy can't keep up with the law, we'll just make the code the law. etc etc. all entertained as serious ideas by more than one person.

Some choice sex-related techlord posts in this discussion, oh boy. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26381377 Highlights include "if 100% prostitution should be legal, why not 50% where a secretary contractually has to have sex with her boss?" and "if I make even 25$/h that's 4h of work for 1 sex session". And the classic "I believe I have enough experience to tell if a girl is enjoying her time with me or not and go out of my way to make her feel good (I perform oral and am generally not defensive)".

A narrow scarlet sash, emblem of the Junior Anti-Sex League, was wound several times round the waist of her overalls, just tightly enough to bring out the shapeliness of her hips. Winston had disliked her from the very first moment of seeing her. Lmao quoting orwell in the top post.

https://thebaffler.com/salvos/how-to-become-an-intellectual-in-silicon-valley-timmsquote:You’re joining the movement at a good time. These are golden days for the philosopher-VC. Moore’s Law states that the power of computing doubles every two years. Paul’s Law states that the population of VC intellectuals increases at a similarly exponential rate. This law takes its name, of course, from Paul Graham, the man who has done more than anyone else to make the venture capitalist not simply an investor of other people’s money but a critical thinker on politics and society. From his pithy Twitter feed to his legendary blog, the cofounder of Y Combinator has exhibited an unrivaled capacity to be consistently wrong on all the great questions of the age—or so his critics would have you believe. And this is the man’s special strength: the more the online mob criticizes him, the more right he’s convinced he is, and the stronger he grows. “Counterintuitive as it sounds,” he recently tweeted, “I’m always encouraged when I publish a new essay and get showered with insults. Showered = lots of people saw it, and insults = there were no big mistakes in it for them to refute.” Studying the great man’s Twitter feed—understanding both his obsessions and his style—will offer a sturdy template for you to follow as you embark on your career as a VC intellectual. (Obsessions = the things he is interested in. Style = the way he writes.) But he is not the only peer whose work you should become familiar with. Consider also Sam Altman, who once argued that “we have to allow people to say disparaging things about gay people if we want them to be able to say novel things about physics”; or Vinod Khosla’s pioneering contributions to the fight against public beach access (sample wisdom from Khosla Ventures website: “We believe change depends on unreasonable people”); or even Keith Rabois, who joined Khosla’s investment firm on the strength of its whiteboards and now knows more about residential real estate than probably anyone in the United States, according to Keith Rabois.

rootsudo 3 hours ago [–] And, so what? Is everyone going to stop like how "gas" is under scrutiny? No. Replace with coal, or any other commodity. Copper, Gold, Silver, Platinum, etc. "the annual carbon emissions from the electricity required to mine Bitcoin and process its transactions are equal to the amount emitted by all of New Zealand. Or Argentina." So? When did comparing to a country become a metric of success or for cause of concern? We can say the same/use the same metric for Gold, Silver. In general an economic indicator of prosperity is energy usage. If anything this sounds like a marketing piece for the companies cited in the article vs a rag on bitcoin itself.

lmm hours ago [–] I swear I'm going to add a bitcoin miner to my libraries and list it in spring.factories so that it autostarts whenever someone starts a Spring Boot application with my library on the classpath. There'll be an undocumented config property to turn it off or make it mine to a different address. That's standard practice with every other library that uses Spring Boot, so it's perfectly ethical, and it's not like anyone using Spring Boot would notice that their application was wasting a bunch of resources. Maybe someone else did this already. That would explain a lot actually.
