I know some people are fiddling with it, but I'm not aware of any public projects using v2 yet. It's pretty darn early still- convex hulls got added only a few weeks ago.

I did build it for a reason, though- over the coming weeks I'll be diving into actually making stuff with it. That'll be a nice change of pace.
Using + for string concatenation was an error introduced early in Python's design, and is to difficult to repair now.
Most Allwinner based boards have direct wired USB ports, ethernet & sound, bypassing the 300Mbps limitation of all I/O on a Raspberry Pi. Allwinner boards usually have blobless mainline kernel support, with H.265 decoding on most chips.

Check out the Clearfog too (good I/O), and OrangePi makes some ok boards.
Few years ago I've bought few plots of vineyards and started to make my own wine. I was lucky that many members of my familly is making wine for many years already (like few 100s of years) so I was able to borrow some equipment and get help sometimes.

It is generating some money, but I am in the process of professionalising whole business and that costs HUGE amount of money so I basically invest all of my earnings and will continue to do so for next decade(s).

Being born into winemaking familly was big gift and a curse. Without having some basic infrastructure there is no way I would be able to afford starting. On the other hand it brings complex familly issues when you try to do something different: I am farming organically, I refuse to use any "modern" additives and even stylistically I prefer doing very dry old-school type of wine instead of what they thought is modern off-dry and semi-sweet wine.

Yes, that's the article I was thinking of, good find!

Agreed the extrapolation is debatable.

What is most astounding to me is that they are able to measure not just an increase of 3mm a year in sea levels by satellite, but that the data are precise enough that they can determine the change in this rate. The precision of the instrumentation and processing required to measure to that level of precision is astounding.
At least in the US, the initial processing of rice removes some nutrients, which is why white rice is required by law to be enriched by coating it with certain vitamins and minerals. If you rinse your rice or cook it in excess water such as the paper recommends, you'd be removing the enriched coating, which could put you at risk of certain nutritional deficiencies if you ate a mostly rice-based diet.
Thank you, very inspiring.
I wonder why people have the conversation this way at all. Don’t we have freedom of movement within the United States? Don’t we believe the union is a good thing?

If a city can’t grow to accommodate new and successful industries — despite lavish tax revenue — it seems like policy failure, plain and simple.
> If you tried to pass a 40 hour work week in 1790 you would have been laughed out of the statehouse because it would have caused mass starvation since people had to work longer hours than that just to grow enough food to feed everyone

This theory that in history the conditions for survival were so much worse as to require much longer working hours is a great myth. Long working hours came mostly at the time of industrial revolution.

From the article:

... the medieval workday was not more than eight hours. The worker participating in the eight-hour movements of the late nineteenth century was "simply striving to recover what his ancestor worked by four or five centuries ago."

Why I've Never Mixed Weed with Virtual Reality
DEFINE-CLASS and DEFINE-METHOD are very thin wrappers over DEFCLASS and DEFMETHOD. Rewriting the code using standard CL would not make it substantially longer. All those macros really do is rearrange the parens (because I can never remember where the parens go in the standard versions).

DM is called DM rather than DUMP-MEMORY because it was used for debugging and typing DM over and over was a lot less annoying than typing DUMP-MEMORY.

As for the use of MACROLET, there is nothing non-standard or unconventional about it.

The definitions of DEFINE-CLASS and DEFINE-MACRO, along with documentation (and a whole bunch of other stuff) can be found here:

That reminds me of an interview with a Chinese esports team I saw at a tournament a few months ago. The interviewer was doing a light-hearted game where they showed twitch emotes to the Chinese team and asked what they thought the emotes meant. One of the emotes was a frog (the creator of the game goes by IceFrog), and the Chinese translator said that the players weren't allowed to say anything about the emote. We later found out that they were afraid to say anything because the nickname of the former president of China was "Toad King", and the players were worried that they'd get in trouble if they said anything about the frog emote.
All in all the notion of preserving a "culture" is silly. If any thing we should be documenting what we can for history and moving on.

The documentation that we have been able to do thus far, even when it's in good faith (as documentation-before-annihilation would not be) is woefully insufficient. We can't even document pre-industrial processes well enough to duplicate them in vitro, let alone complex cultures.

Its not that I don't have respect for culture, its I don't have respect for practicing old culture notions in modern day.

And yet here you are, with your out-of-date notion that culture isn't worth preserving.

Also, monarchies began in an era when the state generally was far less developed than it is now. The number of state functionaries and the control they exert was far less.

Louis the 14th of France was one of the first Western kings to have something like dictatorial control of a country rather than being quite dependent on the nobles formally under him (as those nobles were in turn dependent on their vassals).

It doesn't necessairly need to be "dressing up" per se.

But if you're showing up to work poorly shaven, wearing stained sweatpants - you're going to be at least a little more self concious, a little less self confident. Nobody's going to lift your mood with "hey, looking sharp!". It's going to reflect in your body language, and the body language in your peers, even if it's largely on a subconcious level.

It's potentially the difference between being ready to walk to lunch, or a meeting, or an interview at a moment's notice - ready to actually tackle the work and the day - vs being ready to go to bed at a moment's notice.
I have used VI (and successors) since 1988, and Emacs since 1990, and have tried many other IDEs through the years (Eclipse, NetBeans, Sublime, VS Code, Atom, and tons of others). My go-to are the IDEs from JetBrains now, except for Common Lisp and Haskell (Emacs, although Haskell may be changing). Clojure, Java, Scala, Python, Ruby, Go, SQL, JavaScript, C#, F#, and many others, are all supported in one IDE (IDEA) or in multiple (my personal preference).

I personally have no performance problems with JetBrains IDEs, but maybe I have tuned them up after years of using them... (Or tuned down my expectations? Can't really say offhand.)

It's not obvious that it's a binary classification of people into buckets labeled "independent thinker" and "drone / tool". Surely every social person participates in groupthink to some contextually-dependent degree.

The three major nuclear accidents do not represent the worst which nuclear plants are capable of. For example we have yet to see what can happen if a nuclear plant is sabotaged - that's not FUD its a real vulnerably of the technology and is a reason why they incur constant exceptional security as well as safety costs. They consume alot of water resource as well, for cooling.

Thankfully its an academic debate now anyway, because solar and wind prices are already much cheaper with no end to their continued improvement in sight.

Currencies are a simple market based solution to the problem of trade imbalances. The appreciation/depreciation mechanism automatically makes it cheaper to import from countries that import a lot more than they export and expensive to import from countries that export a lot more than they import. This allows poorer countries to grow faster than richer countries because it is cheaper to invest there.

If you have a single currency over a single large economy then you have to do correct these imbalances manually via transfer payments that manually redistribute the wealth from the wealthiest regions to the poorest. There are a lot of things that can go wrong here. The size of the transfer payments may not be large enough to have any effect and it is not politically acceptable to increase it. (One of many small reasons for Brexit) Of course they are right because it is their wealth but this kind of solidarity is necessary to reduce inequality between countries that share the same currency. Then you need to make the decision which countries receive the transfer payments and which countries pay them. Again this is a problem that could be easily avoided by having multiple currencies.

This seems like a fun project, but it's not really anything special. Most software has either viable or superior FOSS versions (MS vs LibreOffice as a prime example), but games seem to be severely lacking in this space.

It looks and feels like a game from the mid 2000s. It doesn't perform particularly well, and there isn't anything technically impressive about the game, especially considering it's been on the go for almost 15 years.

I understand that alcohol culture can vary drastically in different nations, but I find it a very valid question to ask why drinking excessively should be part of any professional work environment.

Might have been thinking of Tux Racer, which was 2000. Tux Racer was more like a snowboarding game than a kart racer though. Still well into the GUI age though.

2000 was a really weird time for Linux, in hindsight. KDE vs GNOME was getting into full swing, ESR was making all these apocalyptic predictions about the software industry and people listened to him, RMS was in peak "guh-new-slash-linux" mode (https://www.gnu.org/gnu/why-gnu-linux.html), and the dotcom bubble hadn't burst yet. Linus gave the keynote at Comdex in 1999, and Comdex was still a big deal.

It's good that that era led to lots of funding and popularity and further development of FLOSS, but in hindsight (to me at least) it looks like so many distractions and heated arguments over petty differences. I mean, it still is, but it used to be too. :)

If the US share is 10%, that amounts to planting 40,000 trees per square mile over 3 million square miles. That is a square grid of trees, every 26 feet in X and Y, over 80% of the US landmass. Say what?

Property management. It can be a pain sometimes, but honestly I enjoy having to spend a day once in a while painting a house or clearing weeds.
I've only been here for a couple years, so my perspective on that is limited. My understanding is that we still have some form of it available (I believe it's now called "ResearchCyc"), but there isn't a lot of energy around supporting it, much less promoting it.

As to why that is, my best guess is a combination of not having enough man-hours (we're still a relatively small company) and how difficult it has historically been for people to jump in and play with Cyc. There could also be a cultural lack of awareness that people still have interest in tinkering with it, which is something I've thought about bringing up for discussion.

As to the accessibility issue, that's been one of our greatest hurdles in general, and it's something we're actively working on reducing. The inference engine itself is something really special, but in the past most of our contracts have been pretty bespoke; we essentially hand-built custom applications with Cyc at their core. This isn't because Cyc wasn't generic enough, it's because Cyc was hard enough to use that only we could do it. We're currently working to bridge that gap. I'm personally part of an effort to modernize our UIs/development tools, and to add things like JSON APIs, for example. Others are working on much-needed documentation, and on sanding off the rough edges to make the whole thing more of a "product". We also have an early version of containerized builds. Currently these quality-of-life improvements are aimed at improving our internal development process, but many of them could translate easily to opening things up more generally in the future. I hope we do so.
I wanted to do this. Restoring devices is very zen like, and I might throw in some computing kits (bt/usb/car tablet).
I'm fortunate enough to have a pond and some marshy area bordering my house.

My neighbors sometimes wondered why I don't trim it up and make it look "nice" right up to the water like some folks do.

I like it wild, lots of trees and wildlife. I even let the wildness take a bit more of the yard than when i moved in. A few big trees quickly sprung up, no maintenance (compared to a yard) it looks great wild.

Perhaps if only out of laziness (yard work is kinda a pain). A few other neighbors who were maliciously caring for their lawn right up to the marsh (well the area you can do that to legally) have done the same as I have and we've got a much larger wild area now. It's full of blue jays, finches, cardinals, rabbits, owl visitors. We even get visited by some beautiful red foxes from time to time (i suspect quite often but they are very sneaky).

The kids mostly play in the front yard anyway where I actually bother to do more yard work to make it looks nice so a big lawn in the back makes no sense if nobody is really enjoying it.
Yes I want at least 30% of the population on Earth to farm their own food.

I want the food system to become localized which will prevent a crisis which makes people starve and stops "food islands" where people in certain locations only have access to junk food and fast food.
What are the alternatives that are credible and widely accepted? No offense meant, but your comment as is just reads as talking down to someone without actual attempting to educate.
Overall I agree, but Mesos is still big for the frameworks around big data and stateful services. Kubernetes doesn't have the same level of good operators/controllers for heavily stateful services yet, and the ones that do exist aren't very mature.

With time I believe this will get better, but lack of mature client libraries in Java is probably a good reason why this is currently the case. Most of these stacks are all Java based. The people who write software that uses Mesos, or work on Mesos, which is all Java based don't have Kubernetes libraries with the same maturity as the Go based libraries. So it's either wait/fix the Java libraries, or write (and maintain?) an operator in a language that isn't what you regularly use.
I really wish people wouldn’t mod old hardware that can never be replaced with new hardware that will have a significantly shorter shelf life. Particularly given how affordable 3D printing has become where you could render your own retro looking case without destroying any existing hardware.

I mean I have no issue with back light mods which takes the original and improves it subtly and without taking any essence away from the original hardware design. But I’ve seen so many people rip perfectly serviceable innards of retro systems just to shove a Raspberry Pi in its shell. Then 6 months after the mod when the hacker is bored with his or her creation, the bastardised console ends up in the junk heap because nobody wants it anymore. Meanwhile the stockpile for original parts becomes evermore scarce.
> The idea that this is going to be more expensive/isn’t paid for is ridiculous because it eliminates all of the money spent by private corporations on what should be a public service

This is just a plain criticism of capitalism in general. Does this logic apply to everything else? Like food? Housing? In practice we have a great example with public education: an expensive, unequal base level that americans avoid if they have the money to.

> It’s crazy that the government was able to shirk it’s responsibility to look after people and place that unfair burden on businesses.
> . It’s time to relieve businesses of the burden of dealing with their employees health

I agree, although I would like to note that historically this made sense from an administrative standpoint. Back in the 20's, administrative work of insurance was like half the cost. It wouldn't be so expensive today with electronic payments and all. Its the same logic behind payroll taxes (those that work pay it) mostly because its easy to do, not because its fair or good.

Its true that businesses would love not to manage training people about healthcare, but then the government will have to do it and that won't come cheap. That will be an interesting challenge. The M4A plan of no copays no nothing, that would eliminate that instruction is a pipe dream.

> It doesn’t increase the size of government, those are flow-through dollars, they go in one side and out the other.

Hey come in.

<They are in a federal bank account.>

<They are processed by a claims office that decides what to pay and what not to pay>
They come out.

Whatever claims are not paid, its money leftover for spending in whatever initiative the government wants. In fact advocates for socialized medicine like Sarah Kliff want that to happen so the government can set prices. Since its your only employer (no competition with private insurance) you say you accept it or you close down.

> If anything consolidating these disparate services should represent an administrative efficiency

And if it doesn't, whats the way out?

> Yes the government can then change health policy, that’s the point.

Maybe thats your point, but I don't want in on that. I dont want the government deciding for me.

So I dont want to go thing by thing: we disagree, you envision a government administration to be great and fantastic, and I see it as unfair and oppressive. Lets compromise on our different of beliefs: lets advocate for a public option. Government offers something, insurance offers theirs, they compete in the open market, you get what you want and I dont need to confront.

I do want some other things though!
> Cops definitely do not have any special rights to kill another person.

I think you're confusing "de jure" and "de facto" here. Cops may not have such rights enshrined in law, but they don't end up in prison when they flashbang a baby during a no-knock raid either.

I wonder if a comparison to how US students would react to mentions of Kent State or Rodney King or OWS would be enlightening. There's obviously a big difference in severity, but given student opposition to some of the fubdamentals of freedom of speech in recent years, maybe we can learn what cultural differences and commonalities drive state- and self-censorship and thus better address the root problems.
