Learned something new today, I'm surprised it's as low as 4%. Guess that explains some of the comments here.

What's interesting to me remembering this is that back then, even that late into Google's life, Google had enough people to actually be pissed off about this and try doing something about it. Google of today? I have the sense that

I've yet to encounter these also. I've assumed it's just been luck with the A/B testing.. But perhaps it could also be that I've never allowed doubleclick.net scripts to run in NoScript, or that my ublock-origin set

Historically (well, after they introduced caps to begin with) it's either 500 GB or 1 TB per month, but you can pay an extra fee for no cap.

At last. More of this please, Mozilla... One of the most annoying versions of this bug is when launching a full screen game, the mouse gets re-positioned and triggers a tooltip, which is on top of the game, and the game doesn't like al

Gmail recently decided to start flagging just about all of my @custom-domain emails that I have set to forward to it as spam. No amount of marking 'not spam' has made it stop. Fortunately, a filter to make sure they don't go

Decent relative to what? These games include various card games too which in theory are even harder for AIs to beat pros at. I'd be surprised if the other minigame engines are actually decent to a skilled amateur on their hardest diffi

I'm not even convinced Go is all that popular in Japan compared to Shogi or Mahjong. Even Gomoku (five in a row, no capture rule) seems more popular. I can't really say anything about the popularity of go salons since I have yet t

> absence of evidence is not evidence of absence Wrong mathematically, at least if you care to define A as evidence of B to be the same as P(B|A) > P(B|not A), and intuitively if you think about fairies and other things. But sure, it&

One argument is that an individual is always free to hire a lawyer to read over the agreement for them and summarize, point out warning flags, and other things. If they were so simple everyone could understand them, there'd be no need

Kind of a deal breaker sure, but I don't think in that many cases. Is it really that hard to launch an older VM and make a build there? Or just decide you don't need to support anything older than your dev machine? Or just always

Agree that you can use types to express and prove logical properties via compiler; it can be a fun way to solve a problem though too much of it tends to frustrate coworkers in JavaLand. It's also not exactly "low cost"; here&

I think if you've never written any sort of lower level code before it's somewhat more daunting. I did spend a little time trying to get this emulator to run but ran into too many issues and gave up -- it's either a problem w

An interesting related and older project is this post showing a bit of using Lisp to write code for the NES: https://ahefner.livejournal.com/20528.html Making an assembler in Lisp is not a daunting project.

Is your code subject to code review? If so have you done anything to improve that bottleneck, or was it never an issue at previous productivity?

The scenario is: don't enable automatic updates. How long will a compromise exist before someone notices? Often, not very long at all. It's entirely common to avoid an issue because you haven't bothered to update. It's a

Did they fix it? Triple clicking and pasting doesn't lead to immediate execution for me. But even better is to just put such commands in .bashrc as functions. e.g. curltime() { curl -L -w "time_namelookup: %{time_namel

The book "Object-Oriented Programming: The CLOS Perspective" is a better intro than just diving into AMOP. It's essentially a collection of papers, but it really helps contextualize a lot of the early design thinking, gives a

CLOS is more than fast enough for games (see e.g. Kandria, there are comments on HN about it, though it's easy enough to do one's own benchmark and see how easy it is to get hundreds of frames per second even with thousands of obj

Well deserved, I'm looking forward to seeing what Rich does next in his free time. Clojure made me love programming again the same way Python once did (the whole Py3k fiasco soured that). I haven't used it in quite a while (switch

It's a shame you couldn't have pitched Common Lisp. Maybe could have ported your DSL pretty quickly and wound up having SBCL output nice compiled assembly instructions and shown x% speed improvement without much effort by using a

I do tend to think 30% is rather excessive but it's still standard across multiple things.. and I remember this talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stxVBJem3Rs years ago from an indie guy, just a minor remark around t

I don't see how you read that from behnamoh's comment. The 'request' or rather confusion was that the only way to do Lisp, historically and now, is with proprietary stuff like Genera or more modernly LispWorks, so what&#

Yes, in that you can actually use such tools to rapidly develop and ship software that runs on consumer machines (even Windows). Or did you have a more interesting point?

There's a version of this that may actually be correct if you restrict it to the number of humans ever older than 60 years old, but I admit I never followed up on that one. The roughly 100 billion ever claim I recall more readily as it
