I once suggested that we put it into orbit, probably around the Sun. That meant it was far enough away not be harmful, but close enough that when conditions were right, it could be recycled into usable resources.
Lots of people in a business aren't submitting code, but that's not really my point. Depending on a manager's style they can increase synchronization overhead between team members and different teams to the point that everyone's productivity is reduced while the manager has never been busier or productive on paper.
And that is something else that is alien to laptops. Best laptop I could find (for when I am away from my desktop) is 8c16t, that makes a massive difference for compilation.
If you flip around and fire the engines to decelerate, you would be flying into the exhaust.

Edit: Actually this hurts my brain. If you're going 1,000,000MPH and fire propellant at 500MPH in your direction of travel, it would travel at approximately 1,000,500MPH and you would decelerate below 1,000,000MPH, so you actually wouldn't run into it. There's no drag on your exhaust in space like there is in an atmosphere...
I get the code is data thing, but I don't really find it that much useful. And there is a good reason most languages don't allow it - other people :)

The unless example is a good one. So while you can trivially implement 'unless' in lisp, most probably in a large code base, you'll en up with 'unless', 'if-not' and depending on how creative others are probably also 'negat-if'.
Councillors HATE him!
This isn’t the right intuition for the syntax, this is the right intuition for evaluation.

Why move that bracket? The answer is simple: we want the syntax to also denote a serialized data structure: a tree of atomic elements.

So (f a b c) represents a list of symbols F, A, B, C, and the interpretation of this list is a call of the function F on arguments A, B, C.
As a counterpoint, I feel that a lot of in-person meetings would be improved by having people discretely request the floor rather than relying on having your body language acknowledged. Certainly it would help for those of us to whom aggressive/imposing body language doesn't come as easily.
No idea what you're talking about, Intellij family is light years ahead of competition. It will take decades of them stagnating, and their competition moving really fast, to become uncompetitive.
In my experience it usually goes just fine. I’m actually not totally sure what you’re talking about, what does the hardware have to do with it if you’ve got the bootloader unlocked? Assuming you’ve got something common like a Qualcomm SoC, it’s pretty straightforward to take codeaurora or whatever source and AOSP and 90% of the time have an almost fully functional custom image for your device.

Now granted I’ve rooted every phone I’ve had since the HTC Incredible, and I always check XDA forums before buying a new one to see if there’s a decent development community. And in recent years there has been a SHARP drop in the % of manufacturers that even allow their bootloaders to be unlocked - I don’t think the last like 6 samsung galaxy’s have ever been possible to do it. But there are still plenty, I’ve managed to find a kickass flagship model every year or 2 years and upgrade through at least 2 or 3 versions of android (I always buy last- or last-last-gen models used for <$200 so they’re typically a bit out of date already).

I couldn’t imagine any other way honestly. I absolutely love rooting & flashing custom roms, and it’s kept all my phones practically as young and snappy as the day they originally released...or better
Using tests that are similar to what Google used internally to measure search quality in the 2006 - 2010 time frame, a side by side comparison Bing and Google have equal search quality and on contested searches like "good mortgage rate" Google's search quality is actually worse.
I'm not convinced that dog boots are ever necessary. Wild dogs can't afford shoes. Sled dogs run all day barefoot in sub-zero temperatures. I have four random little mutts between ten and twenty pounds, and even they rarely have trouble in the winter. I took one of them out for a run today at 15 deg. F, no problem.

Salt is a problem. If there's a lot of salt out, I'll rub a sealant into their pads before we go out. Lots of things will work -- lip balm or lanolin are my favorites, but petroleum jelly would probably do in a pinch. But whatever you use, the most important thing is to simply wash the salt out of their pads after they come back in. I've done this for almost a decade in Colorado and none of my dogs has ever had a cracked or frost-bitten pad.

I just looked and the audiobook is 54 hours long! That's quite the tome. I have a deep suspicion that like Joyce or Wallace, this is a book for people who really like books. You know, as a concept, taken as a whole. There seems to universal agreement that this is one the "best" or "first" or "most" or "greatest" or some other superlative without actually having any specific reason or agreement as to why. That's always a good hint.

I'm not too familiar with scheme, but syntax seems to be at least a few dozen pages here? www.r6rs.org/final/r6rs.pdf

Also compare https://people.csail.mit.edu/jaffer/r5rs_9.html and e.g. https://docs.python.org/3/reference/grammar.html which I would consider a relatively syntactically rich language.
Just need to recall Chesa and we're off to the races..
You are correct, I don’t understand what you’re saying. I agree that there is no panacea or set of pure criteria other than not moderating at all. But there is also no singular principle of free speech beyond that, either — just different sets of tradeoffs that try to cultivate discourse that the moderator thinks is valuable. My issue is that people tend to present their own preferred set of tradeoffs as the One True Set that embodies the principle of free speech.

You mentioned “good faith” before, so let’s say that’s our operating principle: all parties must be speaking in good faith. Now consider that Twitter suppresses the New York Post because they believe they’re publishing in bad faith. Twitter is still adhering to our set of free speech tradeoffs. So why is this comment section full of people saying they’re not upholding the spirit of free speech?

It’s because they want Twitter to make a different set of tradeoffs. That’s fine, and I’m happy to have that discussion. But not when it masquerades as a discussion about whether Twitter suppressing this article is somehow incompatible with free speech as a concept.
> Taibbi, himself a left-leaning journalist (formerly at Rolling Stone)

Yes, he's the type of 'left-leaning' person who described a book about white privilege as "Hitlerian race theory" and wokeness as "mak[ing] the Junior Anti-Sex League seem like Led Zeppelin" [2], and also described not only what you (and he) call 'Russiagate', but the Ukraine incident as well, as a "permanent coup" [3] where Democrats' conduct was more corrupt than the conduct being investigated. Sure. I guess you could call it 'alt-left'.

> has catalogued these at length on his substack.

If there's a full list of supposedly false "bombshells", it's not publicly available at that link. But it's strange that its lead example is the Times' exposé of Trump's taxes, which even it admits is "real information" that suggests "potentially real" tax fraud (plus Trump not being as wealthy as claimed, what a surprise). Should it not be news that the Times found what Trump had been going out of his way to conceal for four years? Because the darkest speculation from the past proved false – speculation by random pundits, mind you (Taibbi doesn't link to anything from the Times, though for all I know there might have been some op-ed by someone) – does that make Times' report somehow fraudulent?

> In the cold light of the morning after, even WaPo has criticized the coverage over stories sources from the Steele Dossier

Rachel Maddow is a terrible journalist who makes exaggerated claims about all sorts of things. I wish she was not on the air, and Erik Wemple of the Washington Post was right to criticize her. But she is not representative of "the media"; she is rather unusual as left-leaning TV figures go. (Her "less degreed critics" on Fox News are far worse.)

But you didn't link to the Washington Post article. You linked to a Mercury News article that briefly mentions it. The Mercury News article, however, is full of misinformation. For example, it claims that Mueller investigation found "no evidence of actionable Trump obstruction". Well, technically, yes – because it assumed it could not indict a sitting president under any circumstances. The report suggested that the behavior would have been indictable otherwise, though it officially did not make a determination one way or the other.

Only minimum scale really matters - past that you can just cluster engines to get the desired acceleration. Minimum scale for any sort of nuclear thermal rocket is below what you'd want for a manned interplanetary mission, and is thus not relevant.

Solar power plus ion engines is in the 1/2000 TWR range as far as I'm aware. That means millimeters per second squared acceleration of your total craft at best, and means you basically don't save any time over a standard minimum-delta-v Hohmann transfer - 0.001 m/s^2 continuous acceleration gets you 2 AU in ~400 days. It could also do 66,717,283km - the Earth-Mars distance at time of writing - in ~189 days. A Hohmann transfer from Earth to Mars is 259 days. And, of course, the above numbers don't take into consideration matching velocities or escaping Earth's gravity well in the first place. [1] does a good job of describing why the power supply is the primary limiting factor here.

Liquid-core NTRs [0] aren't bimodal, and I'm sort of confused what you'd mean by bimodal here in the first place.

Explain the problem. Literally write it out. Describe it in great detail. As you describe it, identify the parts of it that feel familiar, and the parts that don’t. With the parts that familiar, describe what you would do to address them. With the parts that don’t, try to identify how they might be similar to other problems and how they differ. Keep reducing the problem into familiar and unfamiliar. When you’re sure you’ve isolated the unfamiliar, research. See if other people have solved similar problems. If you know how to reference prior art, start there. If you don’t, or can’t find your answer there, take your refined query to humans.

Common Lisp has long been a compiled language. Its performance is quite competitive when set against Fortran and C. The idea that it's interpreted (and consequently slow) is a very old myth.

Of course, it helps to use the right data structures if you want fast Lisp code (using lists for everything is not the right choice).
Other than GCP, which US based cloud providers do this?
Even if the content of the leaks was fake, which we have no evidence to indicate and none of the key actors have really claimed (as opposed to the story about how they were obtained), it would still be legal to publish it because the public officials involved mean it has a clear public interest.

There’s the possibility of civil damages if it amounts to defamation, but that’s quite a standard to reach. Such damages would fall on the publisher of the story, the NY Post, but not a platform like Twitter (per section 230 safe harbor immunity). There is no legal gray area here.

This is the same reason why those who publicized the now widely rebuked Steele Dossier are not facing legal consequences for it (including Twitter), nor should they.

Of course your original comment said nothing about the accuracy of the reporting and instead only made the claim that there was a legal gray area around publishing hacked materials like these, which is simply not true.

> It's hard to find a full size bluetooth keyboard.

Microsoft make at least two, the Surface Keyboard [1] and the Ergonomic version [2]. I own several of the standard ones, and they're the best-made keyboards I've ever owned (and the only ones my joints can currently cope with), but the fact that they're Bluetooth instead of USB drives me insane. I'd pay extra for a wired version that just instantly sends the keystroke every time instead of going to sleep after a while (while it's awake it's instant, it just wants to save battery after being idle).

What.

I forget what all of the main players are right now, but I know I’ve read on at least 2 of these types of open hardware companies’ sites how they scrub the intel ME all but completely out of the machine. That’s kind of the whole point, and they advertise that pretty conspicuously in their marketing.

If I didn’t start using a (17”, 3lb!) LG Gram laptop right around the time before I learned about open firmware, I would probably use a system76 laptop. For right now, the LG is just so damn light for that huge beautiful screen.....i’ve ruined myself and can’t switch to anything else until further notice unless another manufacturer makes a similarly ridiculous screensize:weight-ratio’d laptop lol (pine, purism, s76...you listening?)

Build servers don't git clone everytime though. They do a git clean if needed followed a git fetch / git pull equivalent.

GoCD for example maintains a single copy of the repo on the server for every pipeline that refers to it and the agents have the repos that they work on checked out. Any local changes or untracked files are by default cleaned. There are settings to force reclone etc, but it's not the default.
Weird not to mention acoustics. Temples, churches and venues (opera halls, in particular) needed high ceilings to carry sound before electronic amplification.

I have lived in a home with high ceilings. I find them gaudy and poor design features, unless you live alone. If you have high ceilings, particularly in open floor plans, everyone is going to hear everything all the time. Doubly true if the stair case opens up to a wide space instead of being closed off.
Was the same true when the Google deal money was the only money they had made, as I pointed out, before they sold a single iPhone? Was it pure profit then?

We have an exact counter example. When Mozilla was almost entirely dependent on Google search bar revenue would you say the same thing of them? By definition it’s all profit because it cost nothing to make Google the default ... except most of it went to pay operational costs because their other revenue was very small. Even supposing they then get more other revenue from other sources, you can’t suddenly say search bar revenue has switched from going here to going there. It doesn’t make any sense.

Also the Google revenue to Apple has scaled with devices sold, sell no devices make no Google money. Increase sales and you can demand more from google. It’s all predicated on making and selling devices, which takes people.
It's primary and major purpose is to download videos from video platforms. One of the biggest advantages of youtube-dl is how universally it works: If a page hosts video, is even slightly common/known, and isn't primarily a warez site (youtube-dl specifically refuses to build support for those!), youtube-dl most likely supports it.

Not having to find a clean and working version of "<somesite> downloader" and install/learn it, and instead being able to rely on one piece of software is incredibly valuable.

One of the most recent things I downloaded is a Reddit video. Reddit makes the link annoying to find, but youtube-dl handles it.

There's strong evidence

Trump's own government warned Trump that Giuliani was being targeted. [1] Guliani met with Derkach in Ukraine explicitly to get dirt on Biden - incredibly in the middle of impeachment surrounding Ukraine.. Derkach is a known Russian agent (recently placed on sanctions list - the timing must be noted as well). [2]

It's been reported that the Biden emails were already being pitched around the time Guliani was in Ukraine - which throws into question the timeline of this computer repair story. [3]

Burisma emails were also hacked, and it was widely reported that Russia was going to use them for an 'October surprise.' Hacking emails/iCloud etc is a proven method employed by Russia/GRU many many times for similar political interference over the last 4 years. [4]

Russia is also known to have mixed false materials into legitimate hacked materials in FR-17 - which is a reported reason why FB/TW/the legitimate press has refused to spread this [5]

It should also be noted that the Trump campaign shopped the story around and not even the Journal (and evidently Fox News too) wouldn't report on it. [6]

It's been widely reported that the FBI is currently investigating. [7]

Though personally I call F U on Trump's DNI going on Fox News while the FBI sends a 'won't break longstanding precedent to comment' letter to Congress. [7]

While not the same as a reciprocal 'Comey disclosure' at least someone is leaking enough to the press that we know the above. Ironically let's hope for more in the the way of Comey -> Richman -> NyTimes

an addition. while not fact, Putin going to the press to 'reject' this story feels very very much in line with trolling and his underlying effort to just make one question what is real and mess with us [8]

You have the same problem in any language when you start scaling up to larger team sizes (or multiple teams). If they don't bother reading the docs or existing libraries, they're likely to reinvent the wheel over and over. The solution is, unfortunately, more social than technical. You have to be deliberate in selecting what goes into the common libraries, and be deliberate in code reviews to make sure junk like that doesn't get created and widely used when an existing solution already exists.
Curious about why so many downvotes - ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
To be clear this is something I’ve thought a bit about. I think the interesting analog is not maps per se, but relational tuples. Instead of “everything is a list”, it would be “everything is a tuple”, and the environment is a table. Evaluate a tuple to execute, evaluate a table to execute in parallel.
I mean it's a false equivalency in the first place to put Hunter in some special bad place while the First Children reap the rewards of nepotism themselves. Misinformation doesn't need to be foreign, just good enough swill to distract some people from the important abuses of power.
I've read this article previously, and to me, this is the most horrifying paragraph...

> That night, Devair Alves Ferreira (the owner of the scrapyard) noticed the blue glow from the punctured capsule. Thinking the capsule's contents were valuable or even supernatural, he immediately brought it into his house. [...] There he spread some of it on the concrete floor. His six-year-old daughter, Leide das Neves Ferreira, later ate a sandwich while sitting on this floor. She was also fascinated by the blue glow of the powder, applying it to her body and showing it off to her mother. Dust from the powder fell on the sandwich she was consuming.

Especially in the Linux world where not asking too much of their own PC is seen as a virtue, so people are running tiling WMs from the nineties, spend their time in Emacs and say everything is fine.

Meanwhile I want my Linux system to run VR, multiple 4K displays, very demanding games and bluetooth headphones. And Linux is the worst for it, because everything feels laggy and half polished there and on the proprietary OS my setup feels MUCH faster.

Sure, it's not Linux's fault, but let's stop saying everything is fine and dandy because Emacs is still running.
