Honestly, as a person who worked for years on standing jobs, fuck that. It wrecked my back and knees and I worked extremely hard to move to an office job. Now, decades later, my knees still creak and pop when I move, but I see people moving their desks to standing desks.

You mentioned you can DL 2xBW. Do you do a lot of ab/core work in addition to the DLs?

For many people back pain is actually caused by weak abdominals. The imbalance puts things out of whack. I also DL heavy (2-3x BW at my best), and if I also was not crushing my abs I would get back pain.

I thought the photo of the two basins at 90 degrees to each other was a nice example that it sometimes makes sense to violate the DRY principle.

Also, someone really needs to put a lid on that soap container!
Yeah, vim with a standard querty layout is just painful. I have a few configs floating about that swap esc & tilde, turn caps into another control. Using Vim with anything else is a quick way to destroying my pinky.

A few years ago I started rebinding my window controls to be more Vim like (alt-j/k instead of cmd-tab and the like) and noticed less strain. Eventually installed Vimium in Chrome so I could browse using my keyboard and noticed similar reduction of strain. Did you know you can enable vi-editing in your shell with `set -o vi`? Oh god now I've installed Xmonad and the vi bindings are everywhere. Four shells on a desktop, devtools over there alt-HL for monitor control, flick the J to swap windows, build scripts singing along the bottom.

It's fucking horrible and I love it.

> Last time I checked CL images were huge though. Something like 24MB for a "hello world" executable, even bigger with some compilers.

You need to consider that Common Lisp includes a runtime, and this is a essential part of the goods of Common Lisp. Whenever you create a Common Lisp program, you also "embed" the runtime, and the runtime allows you to do wonderful stuff within the running code, like for example, compile code on the fly, replace function with new version (while the program is running), replace class instances with new versions of the class (while the program is running), all sorts of enforcements of the required data type for actual data* (while the program is running),

and,

it has the wonderful "conditions/restart" system. The combination of the latter with all the former, allows you to 'correct' or 'patch' a running program without really needing to recompile the whole program or even restart the running program. Famous story of usage of this feature is using it to patch a bug on the Common Lisp program for the autopilot of the NASA Deep Space One spaceship. The NASA engineers were able to debug and then fix the program while having the DS1 in space with the code running.

So, the FASL (fast load) file is basically similar to the memory file created whenever you put a laptop into "hibernation" mode; it allows you to quickly load the whole runtime, plus your code, *plus the instances of your objects or data, if needed, just straight into memory. This is how "fast load" is achieved.

Actual RAM usage of Lisp will vary with implementations; again, as I mentioned in another post, you pick the implementation that suits your particular needs.
How much cpu and memory you can accept being used is depending on what you get for it. An IDE is always going to hog a lot more memory than an editor because typically they will keep hundreds of files in memory, do some kind of syntax analysis (and keep the results such as AST's in memory the whole time) to be able to provide symbol navigation and so on.

There is of course wasted memory here in the case of electron, because while I'm happy for the editor to use memory for things I want (that will help me be more productive than in the plainest of editors) I'm not very happy to let an editor use hundreds of megs e.g. just for rendering text.

What is it in electron editors that takes so much memory, in the case of a simple file?

Are airplanes more efficient than birds?
Also, perhaps it doesn't have to travel as far as conventional airplanes. Perhaps it can be okay to be twice as slow (because of more stops and lower powered engines) if it's only slightly cheaper.

Trains and long distance busses are still around for routes that are also trafficked by airplanes. Presumably because they are often cheaper.

> And the whole thing still has the possibility of being zero-emissions.

Well, so does a hybrid plane, if it's fueled with biofuels. Zero net CO2 emissions anyway. I would imagine other emissions are less problematic since it happens far away from populated areas.

I'm not sure why hydrogen is desirable. Hydrocarbons have higher energy density and is easier to store and fuel.

I can imagine that the closed loop of H2O + electricity <-> electricity + H2 + O is more efficient than the hydrocarbon equivalent. But neither technology is near their theoretical limits, so it's a bit hard to say yet.

Regardless, if we build hybrid planes, we can use whatever technology makes the most sense. It shouldn't be too hard to swap out the energy storage mechanism. Who knows, maybe we'll invent a good rechargeable
aluminum-air battery and replace everything with that.

Piggy (piggy.co.in), the "Vanguard for India"!

Just wow. Now there is a concept that sells itself. It's easy to see the Total Addressable Market potential. Savings institutions such as Vanguard and BlackRock are completely embedded in our lives. Every high school student who graduating this summer was probably given the same advice to start saving early and I'm guessing for those who did, many selected a Vanguard fund. At least those not speculating in BTC and ETH.

For Asia's emerging middle class, solving the problem of where to safely invest for generational periods of time looks daunting but enormously rewarding. Am interested in hearing about all aspects of the issues and Piggy's solution. What are the cultural roadblocks to getting young Indian professionals who just want to spend on travel, living material goods, etc. to think about investing long term? What comprises the funds holdings? How do you solve the issue of liquidity? Are you considering developing your own products such as market ETFs for direct investment?

I've got an older Nexus, and it noticeably strains whenever there's some sort of network event going on - signing onto wifi, coming within range of known wifi, re-gaining a network connection - I suspect it's all the apps trying to desperately play catch-up ("MUST UPDATE MAPS!")

I wish I had a way to toggle selective-airplane-mode. That is, only the current app gets to know that I'm connected - Slack, Twitter, Google Maps all get to quietly run in the background and do nothing.

I didn't say I didn't like the middle-men; they are useful. What I object to is trying to model this as if there is no structure of middle-men, when it is actually there.

The problem is, how you ensure all these people get paid? Contracts, law, government.. it gets very complicated very quickly. It's not just a series of independent transactions between two parties, as the neoclassicals like to portray it. It's also the whole social system, which ensures, as you say, nobody is going around stealing and printing money.

You cannot just ignore this structure because it is this structure which determines, if say a film director gets paid say 2x than film cutter. It's not you as a viewer who determines this. That's the main contradiction - this cannot be objectively determined (if we want fairness by any reasonable definition), yet it somehow must be determined for those people to be paid.

> If something can be taken without depriving anybody of it, why is payment needed?

That's a good question. Unfortunately, if you answer it positively, then you are effectively against all property rights, not just intellectual property. For example, let's say I have two houses but I need only one. Why shouldn't you use my otherwise empty house for free, if you keep it in the same order?

Ultimately, again, you will get a contradiction within any sort of moral framework, some people who provide value will not get paid, some will get paid.

Vim is the best brain-computer interface I've experienced. Once you have enough commands in muscle memory, you can think about what you want the text to do, and it happens. You can look at the screen, decide what you want to do, and then perform complex edits with your eyes closed. I would liken Vim's editing experience to doing kung fu in your head.

I tried Atom, but it does not have passable Vim emulation. Sublime's is passable, but many things are missing in comparison to Vim (or neovim).
It looks like Atom is at least moving in the right direction - I see 736MB RAM on OSX with that 6MB XML file open.

For me it's less the RAM usage and more latency that annoys me. Things like the way you can see the syntax highlighting being done down the screen in even small file, or the half second delay switching channels in Slack.
> Even though autonomous cars will be safer than human drivers the fact that these deaths will be at the hands of machines rather than people will outrage the public.

Of course. If somebody is a much-better-than-average driver, then suddenly their probability of getting killed is going to be equalized with the rest of the population and may become higher as a result.
Storing hundreds of files in memory is absolutely not necessary. You can incrementally page files in and out, keeping the total size low. Anything that requires an entire file to be loaded instead of using some structure like an automatically-loaded/unloaded rope is asking to make an editor that crashes when you use it to read a log. Same for ASTs. If you're lazy, just allocate it in a memmap, but there are smarter ways to do it.

This may be controversial, but I don't think REST is significantly simpler when implemented in a real project.

The setup for GraphQL takes longer than for REST because the ecosystem is still much younger, meaning you have to write some abstractions and helpers yourself. Once that's done, however, adding new types and new actions/mutations is about as hard in each and takes roughly the same amount of code. However, in GraphQL the maintenance cost from "hey, can you add X to the Y endpoint?" is dramatically reduced, and Apollo can save you from a lot of bugs by validating queries against the schema at compile time.

Everyone wants a nicer car, but usually there's good reasons why they haven't bought one. It seems like something has shifted recently and many people have cars nicer than they would have previously.

Possibly nice cars are just cheaper, or everyone is richer or people can get credit for cars where before they couldn't.

It might just be me, I thought people spent too much on cars anyway, and now they seem to have nicer, newer cars, so I assume they're spending even more, but as a non-car guy maybe that only seems weird to me.
