Sharing Is Scaring: Linking Cloud File-Sharing to Programming Language Semantics

Sharing Is Scaring: Linking Cloud File-Sharing to Programming Language Semantics Skyler Austen, Shriram Krishnamurthi, Kathi Fisler SPLASH Onward!, 2025 Abstract Users often struggle with cloud file-sharing applications. Problems appear to arise not only from interface flaws, but also from misunderstanding the underlying semantics of operations like linking, attaching, downloading, and editing. We argue that these difficulties echo long-standing challenges in understanding concepts in progra

EU Gets Cold Feet Over Google Fine, Fears Potential Trump Backlash

gizmodo.com Bruce Gil 2025-10-21 04:00:58

The European Union has put plans to fine Google on hold. The commission in charge of doling out punishment for digital infractions is reportedly worried that fining the U.S. tech giant for allegedly abusing its dominance in online advertising could provoke U.S. President Donald Trump. Bloomberg and Reuters reported, citing unnamed sources, that E.U. officials had planned to announce the antitrust sanction on Monday; however, that deadline came and went without an announcement.

Quirks of Common Lisp Types

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-19 19:06:42

By Colin on 2025-08-30 "But I need types," he told me. Humans have a tendency toward binary thinking (pardon the pun). If it's not A, it's B. Perhaps because Lisps have REPLs, they are often thought of from the outside as being dynamic, interpreted languages. Our years of Python have taught us that such languages don't really have strong typing - it's all a wild guess until the interpreter calls foo on a and b and we find out who everyone really is. Yet Common Lisp is fully typed, and AOT com

Compiling Dinner When you read a recipe, you’re already programming. Ingredients are inputs. Actions—chop, stir, simmer—are instructions.

Bi-directional accountability: A leadership shift most organizations avoid

news.ycombinator.com Al Newkirk 2025-10-21 11:52:42

Most organizations enforce one-way accountability. The CBC framework flips that, making commitments mutual, visible, and enforceable. In CBC, ambiguity is a leadership failure, and credibility comes from delivering results — not titles. When things go wrong, it’s easy to point down the org chart, much harder to look up. In most organizations, accountability flows one way. Teams are held to deadlines, deliverables, and performance metrics, while leaders enjoy a looser standard — insulated by hi

Genetically, Central American mammoths were weird

We tend to lump all mammoths together as big, hairy elephant-like beasts with enormous tusks. But there were a number of mammoth species, including less furry ones that inhabited temperate regions. And the furry ones include at least three species: the Eurasian steppe mammoth, the Arctic-specializing woolly mammoth, and the late-evolving North America-only Columbian mammoth. Because these species inhabited the Arctic, it has been remarkably easy to obtain DNA from them, providing a genetic pict

I’ve been working a lot with service line architecture recently. If you’re not familiar with that; it’s how business units such as IT, HR, or Sales bring services to clients, both internal and external. These structures often mirror team organization. Think of it as a hierarchy: IT at level one, Software Development and Ops at level two, and then individual teams, like: Software Team X or Ops Team Y, at level three. What’s surprising is how rarely these structures reflect reality. In practice,
