Certainly it's better in business though I don't fly that routinely.

If I have the time and the opportunity presents itself to visit a city I want to spend time in, I'm more than happy to. But turning a 20-hour flight into a two+ day journey with additional airport transfers, etc. isn't an improvement in my book. I can usually sleep a bit even in coach. And I just read and watch movies the rest of the time. I don't like it but I don't see the advantage of stretching it out.

Plain lithium batteries (non-rechargeable) are cheaper and have higher capacity than lithium ion. Other factors are basically similar. I think the only reason to use lithium ion when you don't care about recharging is if you have a lot of extras, say manufacturing rejects or have some serious economies of scale going on.
Not a scientific test:

var fs = require(‘fs’),
csv = require(‘csv-parser’);
var start = new Date().getTime();
fs.createReadStream(‘./Batting.csv’)
.pipe(csv())
.on(‘data’, function() {})
.on(‘end’, function() {
console.log(new Date().getTime() — start);
});

This takes about 400 ms on my machine to parse a 6.1 MB CSV (15.25 MB/s). I didn’t do anything useful with the data, but I did verify it exercises the parsing function.

Clearly all the work/time is spent in the actual parsing and handling corner-cases in CSV trying to be correct over high performance/throughput.
I couldn't disagree more. Dogs definitely have tastebuds, can definitely taste foods, and definitely enjoy some foods more than others. Dogs can, and do, develop genuine, strong preferences for some foods over others. That's not because "their primary sensory pleasure in eating comes from the proteins themselves" -- that's because they derive pleasure from some foods.

My dog loves blueberries and broccoli. These are pretty poor sources of protein, and her enjoyment comes from either the taste or the texture, or both. She also prefers chicken to other meats, and if presented with two otherwise similar bits of meat will choose the chicken first and foremost. She'll eat beef or lamb or pork, too, but will invariably choose chicken if presented with two options.

"Just synthesise the required amino acids and feed them to a dog like that" will not make for a happy or healthy dog. It's basically the same rationale that led us to feeding animals dry food/kibble, and that's not good for them. On paper, though, it covers all of their essential needs.
Oh rubbish. It is not hackable. Proper BGP implementations drop packets with TTL > 1 for non-multihop. This means that the only way to attack BGP between A and B is to have a control of the router on the other side. By doing that one's adversary controls the other side's inbound. It is always the case:

Since my outbound is your inbound and since I control my outbound ( by definition ) then you cannot control your inbound. This means that the only defense is filtering.
Can't speak to the NES, but the GB/GBC definitely has a boot ROM with firmware that remains operable without a cartridge in the system. (The SGB has a different one that shims into the slightly different SGB hardware itself. Also, if you've never read about the SGB, that thing is kind of wacky; it's basically a Game Boy that delegates colorization and, in some games, audio and multiplayer to the Super NES.)

The GB/GBC boot ROM doesn't do as much as even, say, the GBA, but if you're talking "conceptual" about firmware, we're talking about a pretty unbroken line to the current day. (Modern game consoles also have operating systems, but those aren't firmware.)

Isn't that backwards? Why care about type without a corresponding programm? The systematic problem with higher order incompleteness is propositions fro syntactic argument, without consideration for semantics.

> But at that point - the "internal" and "external" s-expressions are no tighter coupled than say Smalltalk syntax and binary representation.

Less. S-expressions are not a representation for Lisp syntax. They are a data format.

Lisp syntax is defined on top of s-expressions.

We can enter an s-expression and Lisp will execute it. Here it is actually an interpreter, which walks the s-expression structure according to the evaluation rules.

CL-USER 47 > ((lambda (a b) (+ (expt a 2) (expt a 2))) 10 (* 20 3))
200

We can also compute the same expression:

CL-USER 48 > (list (list 'lambda '(a b) '(+ (expt a 2) (expt a 2)))
10
(list '* (* 10 2) (+ 1 2)))
((LAMBDA (A B) (+ (EXPT A 2) (EXPT A 2))) 10 (* 20 3))

We can then let Lisp run that computed expression. Note that I refer to the expression over a variable (Lisp sets * to the last value) . It is data, not text.

CL-USER 49 > (eval *)
200

> s-expressions as a user-facing, textual syntax

Lisp does not use s-expressions as a user-facing, textual syntax. It uses s-expressions as a user-facing textual representation for a data syntax. The Lisp syntax is defined as a data syntax.

For example the function call form is: function args*

Thus we can compute lists which have a function name at the first place and the correct number of arguments follow:

CL-USER 55 > (describe (list 'member ''pi ''(pi 3.14)))

(MEMBER (QUOTE PI) (QUOTE (PI 3.14))) is a LIST
0 MEMBER
1 (QUOTE PI)
2 (QUOTE (PI 3.14))

The same data can be evaluated

CL-USER 56 > (eval (list 'member ''pi ''(pi 3.14)))
(PI 3.14)

We can also enter it as text:

CL-USER 57 > (MEMBER (QUOTE PI) (QUOTE (PI 3.14)))
(PI 3.14)

You simply can't compute code like that in Smalltalk.

> I guess I think we can do much better than "smart typewriter" as a way to interact with executable data.

The interface provided by Lisp is way different from Smalltalk and opens up a fully new perspective: computing of code.

Stuff like BPA is not acutely toxic. There are some concerns about long-term ("subchronic") exposures spanning a decade or more, and even there, there is basically no clear evidence of adverse effects on humans.

Besides, BPA and its ilk are a concern chiefly with a variety of fancier, transparent plastics. Food-grade HDPE and polypropylene jugs are of relatively little concern. They are just not particularly pretty, so they don't sell.

Steel and glass are two other options, although many steel bottles are lined with epoxy or other coatings. Plus, in a car accident, I'd rather have a soft HDPE jug flying around...

Let's quantify a once in a lifetime event just a little bit:

Let's say it's a 'hundred-year' event which means that it has a 1% probability of happening in a given year. And let's say that the event costs what Katrina did[1], i.e. ~$100 billion ($100,000,000,000).

That's an expected loss of $1 billion every year.

Once in a lifetime events like really bad hurricanes hitting a particular Gulf city aren't exactly 'unknown unknowns'. And furthermore, major damaging hurricanes in the US total (not just a single city) happen every 5-10 years maybe. It's absolutely worth putting a lot of resources into risk reduction (hazard assessment, long-term resilience efforts, disaster planning and strategizing). Ignoring this is shameful, especially considering that hurricanes are the costliest disasters the US faces, and efforts understanding and preparing for 1 once-in-a-lifetime event like Katrina will substantially apply to an independent once-in-a-lifetime event like Harvey.

And political will is the only way that things will get done in an appropriate fashion. It's not exclusively political/governmental (for example, reinsurance companies invest in research into this and their results plinko down to local insurance rates) but governments are in the best position to coordinate efforts, enforce regulation (zoning etc.), and have both bigger assets and bigger liabilities than everyone else.

>Google does not believe in BGP filtering

Doesn't the following indicate that neither does Verizon?

In this case it appears Verizon had little or no filters, and accepted most if not all BGP announcements from Google which lead to widespread service disruptions. At the minimum Verizon should probably have a maximum-prefix limit on their side and perhaps some as-path filters which would have prevented the wide spread impact.
One of my early startup hires was remote, started remote and is still remote. Over three years he's stayed all over the world for weeks/months at a go. Five continents! Makes his daily reports no problem, handles his stuff well. Gets to really experience a place when you there for four weeks.

I see it being easy for him, single, job that don't care, AirBNB.

When we hired him I was nervous about that pattern. But he demonstrated his skill and tenacity so quick. Remote workers get a touch more scrutiny, remote+travel, from this employer view, gets even more scrutiny.

All new Dietitians must have a Masters starting in 2024, and all current RDs have completed a Dietetic Internship with practical experience in addition to Bachelors in order to sit for the registration/licensure exam for some time now. I don't know about elsewhere, but in NV anyone can legally say they are a Nutritionist but cannot practice as a Dietitian, so there are ways to provide general nutrition guidance without being an RD. In addition, anyone can run a blog or write books with their advice, etc.

I want someone who has verifiable expertise if I'm receiving medical nutrition therapy from them. Perhaps the portability of licenses is too restrictive, but elimination of licensure is a bad idea for many medical aspects of nutrition (beyond basic weight loss or general guidance).

I'm not sure what degree of freedom you're supposing they have, but not everyone is able to uproot their life on some survivalist kick. Plenty of people have their roots and networks where they are, so "just don't live there" isn't a universally applicable "fix".

I've been fortunate enough to be able to move to a place ideally suited to my needs (and as I don't need much I suppose I could move on relatively short notice if needed) but even I recognize that not everyone can afford to follow suit.

A much, much bigger improvement (reduction) of humanity's ecological footprint would be for everyone to go vegan two days a week. That would potentially have a ~25% reduction in the number of animals reared and used, and would bring a commensurate decrease in ecological footprint. I think that's a worthy goal.

The illusion of self employment is always an interesting motivation. The simple reality is you are not "self employed" as you are beholden to the customer, they are your boss. You have all the insecurity of being fired constantly. What you get in the end is not really self employment, but rather more meritocracy. Even then as you grow politics will come into play as you start to partner and do biz dev.

The ability to pick your projects is a dangerous red herring. You want to focus on what the customer needs rather than what you want to do. The "I made this" attitude works against you.
What makes your projects successful is listening to customers and solving their real problems and executing with optimal velocity. Not being a super programmer doing cool things.

The real motivations I see that is unique to these side projects is more participation in the upside. Even side income is dangerous as it distracts you from your career.

On the other hand, if success is not a motivation (and why does it have to be?) than ignore everything I said.

re: "Promises have to be resolved in the next turn of the event loop. This is part of the spec."

This seems imprecise? There are multiple queues and the details seem to be implementation-specific [1]. The Promises/A+ specification doesn't seem to specify a particular implementation [2].

The reason this might matter is that if you use promises to do something CPU-intensive without doing I/O, it might be possible to starve the event queue, similar to what happens if you're just writing a loop.

On the other hand, the example in the article is waiting on reads, so they'll be delivered through the event queue. Can reading larger chunks at a time and buffering be used to speed that up?

[1] https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/2736#issuecomment-1386...

[2] "This can be implemented with either a 'macro-task' mechanism such as setTimeout or setImmediate, or with a 'micro-task' mechanism such as MutationObserver or process.nextTick. Since the promise implementation is considered platform code, it may itself contain a task-scheduling queue or 'trampoline' in which the handlers are called."

It accepts it from Google because Google does not register its prefixes.

If I do not know what you should announce to me I have two choices: filter everything our making PNI useless or presume you are not a dolt and that you are only going to announce what you should transit which would work if you filter your peers.

Except that Google does not believe in filtering its peers either which means that effectively whoever peers with Google has to presume that whatever Google announces is fine.

That AdNauseam causes potential damage to people running ads and generating revenue from ads by devaluing clicks is a feature, not a bug.

I wholeheartedly agree with this view.
