> ...It's dirty laundry that needs airing. The problem: Paul Graham. I mean, the guy's a genius, and I love reading his essays, and his startups are doing great things, etc. etc. You can't fault him. But he's created something of a problem.
> Before Paul Graham, Lisp was dying. It really was, and let's not get all sentimental or anything; it's just common sense. A language is always either gaining or losing ground, and Lisp was losing ground all through the 1990s. Then PG came along with his "I'm not talking to you if you're over 26 years old" essays, each a giant slap in our collective face, and everyone sat up and paid attention to him in a hurry. And a TON of people started looking very seriously at Lisp.
This is why you can't trust HN as the general opinion among people or even programmers. They are a very specific subset of programmers who are more likely to be interested in things like Lisp.
> Paul Graham (Y Combinator co-founder) has a lot of essays on Lisp or mentions of Lisp
Nobody mentions them much here for some reason, but also the books ANSI Common Lisp and On Lisp, at one time considered almost essential reading. I still think they're fantastic but they're not for instant gratification as they don't give you much in terms of immediate practical applications or real world system examples. Nevertheless they are among my favorite books on programming and I wouldn't be surprised if many people who come here similarly "cut their teeth" with those books.
Because HN users tend to be interested in niche but powerful languages, they are not to be trusted to know programming in general?
Weird argument to close an otherwise excellent comment. I'd rather listen to the opinion of someone that also knows niche things, than one that only knows the mainstream and nothing else.
Also which group is more likely to create beautiful products such as a portable Lisp machine?
> Because HN users tend to be interested in niche but powerful languages, they are not to be trusted to know programming in general?
No, the parent comment meant that HN users are not a representative cross-section of programmers in general. This manifests itself, for example, in relatively niche languages being mentioned and discussed disproportionately often.
In other words: just because HN loves it doesn't mean everybody else knows it.
This is similar to the love HN has for autonomous driving. Most people outside here mostly despise the idea. So HN is not representative of society in general, But this doesn't mean the HN crowd is wrong.
Unrelated to Disney but related to mosquitoes: Singapore's Wolbachia-Aedes suppression technology is very interesting, but specific to Aedes mosquitoes. The government releases male Wolbachia-Aedes mosquitoes that suppress the Aedes aegypti mosquito populations.
> Male Wolbachia-Aedes mosquitoes are released regularly at NEA’s study sites to mate with female urban Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Their resultant eggs do not hatch and no offspring are produced. Continued releases lead to a decline in the urban Aedes aegypti mosquito population, and therefore less dengue transmission.

I know this question is about macOS, but you could consider how to have this method implemented in your Mac. I recently installed FreeBSD on my MBP 2015 since it was quite dead anyway. The wifi on it doesn't work, I haven't tried to see if Bluetooth works, but it feels like my computer in 1998-2005. This has become my primary driver to learn new technologies.
I have a USB wifi adapter that I can use to get temporary Internet connection. I usually use it to download PDFs of books I am using to learn, or to load a full HTML formatted book, and disconnect the adapter. This has also made me a more structured learner because I have to think of all the sites I need open before I disconnect the adapter. My learning process has never been this efficient in so long. Also, keep your phone away, or check once every 25 mins using Pomodoro app.
In the first 2-3 days, I instinctively used to open a new tab and just try visiting Twitter (I am also not logged in to any of my accounts on this machine) only to be greeted by a "no connection" screen.
Also, going through the solutions in other comments, I think the easiest thing to control is to turn off Internet access -- no additional software required.
I think no Internet during the phase of learning is the perfect solution for this. I had very little issue with this on (non-Internet) computer applications but websites/forums are much more addictive in nature as opposed to applications IMO.
2. Jails are not supported in OpenBSD. AFAIK, they are a FreeBSD-only feature.
I'm caught in a strange situation where my MacBook Pro wireless is supported by OpenBSD (and not FreeBSD) but I really like ZFS and Jails. Some features like those about trackpads, sound, wireless "just work" in a basic Arch install but not on FreeBSD. So I'd take "FreeBSD does everything that Linux used to do for me" with a grain of salt, because that has not been true for me.
OpenBSD does have pledge, on the other hand. And yeah, different systems have different features and tradeoffs; some people could legitimately say to take "Linux does everything that FreeBSD used to do for me" with a grain of salt, because that has not been true for them (say, if they like ZFS + boot environments, which is a relative pain on Arch).
I still haven't gotten boot from encrypted root pool with GRUB set up properly; it fails and drops to initramfs, I manually import and mount, after which it continues boots fine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think this opens another Pandora's box of fake posts from nominated accounts.
Someone nominated their spouse, they are splitting and the spouse makes a fake demise post. Can legit get people to panic if the person in question is famous enough.
Also, if you are careful with your accounts (random 30 character length passwords, 2FA etc) and your nominated successor has not, that's an additional attack vector.
Personal anecdote: The LinkedIn thing happened to me. My skip level manager died in a freak accident (He was 44-45 yrs old at that time) and I noticed his profile until as recently as about a year ago. It still showed him employed at the company. I am sure people got "Congratulate <person> for completing his 5th year at <company>" while his profile was around.
His profile has now been deleted. Not sure who did it or how it happened.
For me, LinkedIn seems the best channel to reach out to my network for something like this. I am not on Facebook and I don't think many people pay attention to obituarys in newspapers any more. But I think I have a plan now. I will put the instructions in an envelope and include the password plus the 2FA reserve code with it. I will put the envelope in a place in my home and let my sucessor know about it through an online service I have found and trust.
Or if the earth gets hit by an asteroid? How do you take care about your various online accounts then?
I would just pass a note to my relatives with my passwords and they then may delete accounts, or not. I rather care about my real life to be honest, and not my virtual legacy.
I live in Sweden but I found several options offered by funeral homes/ undertaker associations. They are usually called "The White Archive" (but in Swedish) and were free as well.
