The Scouring of the Shire would've turned the theatrical cut into a 4 hour movie, and the extended cut into a 5 hour movie.

Perhaps it would've made ROTK the first dual-part series finale movie (like The Hobbit, Harry Potter, Twilight, The Hunger Games, Avengers) of its kind.

I feel like the single most important reason Guile is not more popular is the focus on Linux. It is not even as easy to install it on Mac, afaict.

I've seen unofficial binary builds for windows but they are hard to find... and probably they use cygwin?

I wish Guile was readily available in other platforms (I wish their downloads page looked like this [1]...), but I'm guessing the main reason it is not is more philosophical than practical.

In my weight training class, we always avoided the deadlift due to the high risk of injury. Now I'm in middle age and starting to feel back pain, I picked it up, and performing this exercise completely fixes my back pain.
I navigate it much more simply -- I don't do subscriptions. I've learned long ago, the hard way, that the most important thing for me to avoid is fixed recurring expenses, particularly ones that are small and easy to forget/ignore.
I used to run when I was still losing a lot of weight. I'd still be running except that it seemed to cause an endless series of injuries and pains that no one could tell me how to fix.
You were doing something horribly wrong. You'd be best server by figuring out what that was and continuing to exercise and stretch.

My dad was a great athlete growing up, and a common way that athletes deal with pain is to rest for a while and then gradually return to exercise.

As he got older, he followed the same routine, except like many aging Americans, he basically stopped exercising. Whenever he had pain, he would rest the affected area, but there was never a return to exercise.

Every muscle/skeletal problem he had seemed to become chronic as the muscles got weaker and weaker. I could tell he was nervous to exercise because he didn't want to injure himself and he wasn't in very good shape, but it was obvious that rest was doing him no good whatsoever, but to his last day, he thought that if he just rested, he would start feeling better.

What's surprising to me is how often rest is recommended as treatment for people whose entire existence is characterized by a lack of intense physical movement.

> most people who are chronically stressed will generally never be able to obtain relief

This really stood out to me. If this is how you feel, I strongly recommend trying out meditation. I at one point in my studies while in college felt the same, and it really is night versus day in being able to experience a life without constant stress/anxiety.

> The same for proper sleep. Its not just about 6-8 hours, its about quality. If you aren't getting quality sleep, most people don't have a solution.

Stress/anxiety from above is generally the most common cause of poor sleep. Fixing that will give quality sleep for the majority of people. The next thing to try is to check with your doctor whether you have sleep apnea as that's probably the second most common trigger. For some, sleep apnea is treatable with better sleeping posture and for others it will require more active work to resolve. A note that obesity is the most common cause of sleep apnea. The third most common cause is likely some kind of thyroid condition. More than that is probably going to be a case by case basis where you'll have to individually look at your genetic profile through something like SNPedia (https://www.snpedia.com/index.php/SNPedia) to try and pinpoint your underlying issue. Usually though, the first three things will cover the vast majority of people looking for better sleep.

> In other words the goal is to trigger the body to begin consuming/recycling dead cells and other cellular waste; however, this typically isn't triggered by time restricted eating, but requires longer periods of fasting (usually kicking in around after 20-24 hours of fasting

For most normal people, it's unrealistic to be able to do day fasts. That's why the 8/16 method is so popular. You'll still see benefits as you are incorrect that, there has to be a strict limit of precisely 20 hours to get beneficial effects. Autophagy like any other biological process in the body is a series of continuous interlinking upregulating and downregulating mechanisms that ensure homeostasis. Autophagy is always happening. It's just that the longer you fast, the more your body gets tilted towards consuming/recycling until of course you end up in starvation which is effectively just extreme autophagy.

> Finally "a complete diet", not only is there no general consensus what that is, you generally can't even have a conversation about diet without triggering a flame war.

A complete diet to the best of our knowledge, consists of getting enough macronutrients like protein, lipids, and carbohydrates in addition to an immense number of different micronutrients that while seemingly daunting in size are actually relatively easy to get enough of as long as you eat a diverse mixture of different foods. If that answer doesn't satisfy you, there have been many different studies and current ongoing ones as well to try and pinpoint all the essential trace nutrients the human body needs to survive. From the ones that we've been able to gather over the years, if you were to solely supplement yourself based on those listed, you'd probably be fine. Though it's likely that there would be some things missing.
Could add "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.", and on and on.

I won't quote at length, but after decades in tech, I feel like much of this book speaks directly to us.
At least where I've lived, it doesn't make sense to go to a local hill when a real mountain is just a few minutes extra.

The local hills were cheap for the sake of being cheap, and probably don't make as much sense in today's world where insurance is a huge unrecognized cost of skiing.
No, Lisp does not lack visual clues. But yes, very often people complain about Lisp readability. And that stems from the lack of familiarity, most people are familiar with the infix notation, but not prefix, used in Lisp. But I have seen many times, people who pick up Lisp (Clojure, Racket, etc.) as their first programming language - they do just fine, a matter of fact - they later find code written in other languages harder to read.

Unlike other languages, Lisp sometimes is difficult to read by just looking at it. Staring at Lisp code, examining its "static" properties without prior training indeed may pose a challenge. But there is a way to learn how to parse Lisp code mentally. And the best way of learning that is by editing it.

First, you need to find an IDE that supports structural editing of symbolic expressions (or s-exps). Basically, it would help if you learned a few operations:

slurp, barf, transpose, raise, kill s-exp, yank s-exp

Depending on the IDE you use, they may be called differently, and there may be more, these are the basic ones.

Once you learn those basic operations, you are now ready to untangle "unreadable" Lisp. The trick is to change the code while you read it.

Similar to how Tony Stark looks at the hologram of a model and moves his hands outward, forcing the hologram to expand, then he picks one of the parts, studies it, maybe completely removes it. He then would move his hands in a closing motion, and hologram would "assemble." That's how you work with Lisp.

So, for example, you read a function, if necessary, extract things, pick an expression, evaluate it, etc. Once you gain a good understanding of what the function does, you can undo all the changes, or if you think you have improved it - do save.

In other languages, when the structure of the code is settled, it's more challenging to pick it apart, move things in and out. You are forced to read the code "top to bottom." But in Lisp, code is a living, breathing thing. You basically feel like performing a surgery - you can tweak things, try them, and see instantaneous feedback in the REPL.

In other languages, code is "dead," until you save it, (re)compile it and execute it. And REPL in those languages is "crippled" and not a fully-fledged "true" REPL like in Lisp. Being able to pick any [sub]expression and evaluate it, without any kind of prior ceremony is truly liberating and empowering.

It takes time, for some it's hours, for others - weeks, but eventually you will stop seeing parentheses, and instead, you will see structure, consistency, and meaning. And Lisp becomes more readable than any other language you've used before.
The best thing to remember about back pain is that most of the time the pain is not due to a problem in your back, but a problem elsewhere on your body. This is commonly referred to in the medical field as referred pain.

So if your feet are fucked up, the rest of your body is going to be fucked up. If your calves are tight, they will cause issues up the chain and it will/can eventually lead to pain in the back. If your thigh muscles are too tight, same thing happens.

For those of us who sit often, we tend to get what is called an anterior pelvic tilt -- or in plain english a pelvis that is rotated or tilted slightly forward. This ends up causing your lower back to pick up the slack and curve more than it is supposed to, and on and on up the chain.

The single best thing I have found for releasing a tight psoas (to remove the tension and allow your pelvis to orient itself correctly) is to use a ~20lb slam ball and basically lie directly on top of it with it lodged right in the trinagle area that is below your belly button and to the side of your groin. Shove it in there, take a deep breath, lean into it and you will really feel it loosen the tension on your posas. This is makes a profound difference in my hip flexibility and usually does a killer job eliminating lower back pain.

For a good video demo of the psoas release I do often: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_F-0rtFbOgI @ 1:15 is the pose that I use.
I've been guided to instead cycle. If your back pain is caused by muscle imbalance (e.g., another leg longer than the other) or herniated disc, then running will supposedly make it worse. Yet, activity is important, which might be why running works for you.

I can't comment on how long it takes to achieve autophagy - I am happy to stipulate that you are correct.

However, digestion is a very all-encompassing, rigorous and expensive activity for your body. If we believe that there are more "cleanup" mechanisms than just autophagy, it's not much of a reach to suggest that we engage in extra digestion at the expense of these maintenance tasks.
Sure, the ones that actually paid back with interest. But that doesn't help the 'performance bonus' discussion. These people destroyed the housing market, then got bailed out by the people they destroyed, THEN got paid millions/billions in bonuses for doing it.

So "they" should be thankful for any old crumbs left on the table after their betters are done patting themselves on the back?

Honestly, I prefer the Randian take on charity to this. At least that one has the virtue of not obfuscating.
Mobilize (stretch, foam roll, hard ball) the posterior chain, i.e. the back of your body, especially the glutes, hamstrings, hips, calves, and the back muscles. This is a CHAIN, the links are connected, feed slack into the painful areas by loosening up the whole chain.

Surly those must struggle to break even? Wouldn't a higher fee, and, more importantly, nearly-zero costs be exactly what you want for a charity run?
"Debunked" is probably overstating it, but Myers-Briggs has been shown to have fairly significant statistical deficiencies and its predictive claims are largely pseudoscientific. It's not complete garbage, but there are personality trait models like Big Five and HEXACO that are more robust and have more research behind them, but even those are not as strong predictors as pop management literature makes them out to be.

I got one of these lamps a while ago, and even used it for a while, but there were one too many painful moments (its crazy how far our expectations have come in terms of what we can put up with in terms of stability; or just even being able to watch YouTube) for the joyful novelty of its use to overcome ... I do want to bring it out again some day, but for now its in the attic ...

Any thoughts on what you might do with yours? I did some research and there seems to be a few options at various levels of the stack but all with efforts levels that far exceed my current resources. Some guys say they have NetBSD running on it ... there’s another guy who figured out the idiosyncratic video interface so you can gut it if you want and reppace the innards with something more modern (it doesn’t feel right to me).

I thought it might see some use as a sexy remote terminal for my main computer but nope - it couldn’t even do VNC without vertically flipping the right hand half of the image. Something to do with the screy nvidia drivers I presume ... incidentally the reason why there’s not much in the way of interesting Linux support. I might use it as an emacs terminal maybe now that I think of it. It sure is pretty though!

Seems like back pain is one of those things that it’s really hard to get legit non-anecdotal advice on. It’s like weight loss in that it attracts all the usual kinds of pseudomedicine and quackery. Read this book! Do this scientific-sounding exercise! Go to a chiropractor! Do acupuncture! Drink this mystical energy tea! It worked for me!

This is technically true...except that a number of states (including CA) now require restaurants to pay servers minimum wage before taking into account the tips they make.

IOW, tips in CA are now in addition to the minimum wage the server makes, not in lieu of it.

Oh man, I have to disagree. I love the Ainulindalë. Plus, without it, I imagine you'd have a difficult time figuring out who exactly the Valar are or what their role is.

That said, my advice would be to not get too caught up on the names and places and details — just let the story sort of wash over you. Many, many, many names are only said exactly once in The Silmarillion; if you try to remember them all, you'll go crazy. If you see a name 3+ times, that's when it's time to track them down on the family tree, probably.

I'd also recommend making sure you reference the map when a place keeps being mentioned. It's helpful to know the vague locations of Doriath, Nargothrond, Gondolin, etc.
And at the same time, carriers were counted as powerful enough to make the opening moves of the war.

I don't think Japan was happy to discover that they'd missed all of the US's carriers. I think I've read that Yamato was furious, in fact.

Congratulations to the Guile team!

I usually use Common Lisp and when I use a Scheme-like language I usually use Racket. However, projects likes Guile (great for scripting applications, the web framework is cool), Chez, and Gambit are much appreciated (I use them all, at least a few times a year).

I know that Lisp languages are not the best tool for every application, but using Lisp languages makes me happy so I try to use them whenever possible.
Personally, I don't want to be limited to observing the stars from planet Earth for too much longer. The development of commercially viable space technology will fund and fuel investment in interplanetary expeditions and help us move to the next stage of human progress.

This article has better short descriptions of the colors, and elaborates a lot on the traits each color can have, how they disagree, agree, can be combined, etc:

https://medium.com/s/story/the-mtg-color-wheel-c9700a7cf36d

White: Peace through order

Blue: Perfection through knowledge

Blue: Satisfaction through ruthlessness

Red: Freedom through action

Green: Harmony through acceptance

My favorite line in the article is probably that Green is the color of Chesterton's Fence; even though the field of software isn't very Green as a whole, you can still express conflicts and mindsets within that field using this color wheel. I'm definitely some combination of Green and Blue -- I want to see the ecosystem of kubernetes pods running smoothly, changes should have a really good justification, the only thing that matters is what does work, not what should work, etc.
I'll also recommend Evan Palmer's Ainulindalë comic: https://www.evanpalmercomics.com/ainulindale
No discussion of back pain is complete without mention of Stuart McGill (see, for example, his book "Back Mechanic" - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FKSGJYC/ ).

He's a professor emeritus @ UWaterloo, and spent years studying the biomechanics of the back. As a consequence, he's developed exercise techniques (e.g., the "Big 3" - curl up / side plank / bird dog), and a host of diagnostic and treatment techniques for rehabilitating back injury, especially in athletes.

I personally had a dynamic disk bulge that would leave me in bed, unable to move for a couple days at a time, and it was successfully and completely treated by his methods, leaving me completely pain free and in better shape than ever four years later (and I'm an extremely active person, spending ~10 hrs / week on various athletics).
The point of Faramir's story in the books is integrity in the face of great temptation. "But fear no more! I would not take this thing, if it lay by the highway. Not were Minas Tirith falling in ruin and I alone could save her, so, using the weapon of the Dark Lord for her good and my glory. No, I do not wish for such triumphs, Frodo son of Drogo." It's not supposed to be tragic in the book. What the GP comment was saying is "Poor Faramir, the movie took part of his integrity when they had him take Frodo and Sam to Osgiliath"
Indeed: while practically everything in The Silmarillion was his father's words, it did not appear until after JRR Tolkien's death. Only his father's name appears on it, but Christopher's editing was absolutely essential. It represents neither Tolkien's last thoughts nor his best writing, but the ones that Christopher felt were most consistent with the published Lord of the Rings.

Christopher doesn't get enough credit for the monumental task of piecing something vaguely coherent from Tolkien's numerous drafts. He basically devoted his life to understanding his father's work. And that is effort should be appreciated: Tolkien was one of the most creative literary thinkers of the past century, and having so much insight into his process is almost unique among authors.
