For previous work I had a big workstation (HPz620, 32 cores, 64 gigs of ram, large GPU)

Whilst it wasn't portable, it was _fast_. Granted not in single threaded performance (they are all old hat nowadays)

But I could run a bunch of containers, VMs if I wanted and run slack and chrome (although I use firefox mostly)

New work has given me a fancy macbook. Which is fine, but I miss the extra resolution of the 4k screen (which I suspect is perceived rather than actual. I have very small fonts)

I also miss linux as a local dev environment.

Is this service confidential?

Yes, except for in certain situations where our safeguarding policy means we may tell someone, for example, by calling an ambulance. Read more about when we do this.

On the phone

When you call Samaritans, your number is not displayed to our volunteer. The phones we use don’t have caller display information on them.

We might ask your name, because it’s a natural question to ask in a conversation, or because of something you have said to us, but you don’t have to tell us if you prefer not to.

Via email

If you've emailed us, your email address will not be shown to the volunteer.

In person

You don’t have to tell us your name if you don’t want to. In the unlikely event that you see the Samaritan volunteer that you spoke to later on the street, the Samaritans volunteer will not acknowledge you, unless you do so first. This is to respect your privacy and the confidentiality of your visit, unless you wish to recognise it.

By Letter

We will need your name and address to reply, but to maintain confidentiality, your letter will be shredded once we have sent you our response.

Not to even mention these shitty island type keyboards in all laptops.

From all features of pre 2012-NOW laptops the REAL KEYBOARD is what I miss the most.

I really hoped that Lenovo will make something more from its 25th Anniversary Edition ThinkPad (some name id T25) but from what I know only 5000 pieces were made and finito. Or ar least that Lenovo will PERMANENTLY provice a classic/retro ThinkPad with every new generation with REAL KEYBOARD.

That is why I still use 2011 ThinkPad W520 and ThinkPad X220 - to have REAL USABLE KEYBOARD with REAL PGUP/PGDN HOME/END INS/DEL keys block in the top right space.

Future looks very dark since years in the laptop space.

The more I look into laptop computing (and often computing in general) the more only single word stands out.

As if the US has stopped harming Iran 67 years ago.

And at the same time the US still imposes embargo on Cuba, 60 years after the nationalization of the property of American companies [0]. How much time has to pass before it's no longer appropriate?

"In October 1960 a key incident occurred: Eisenhower's government refused to export oil to the island, leaving Cuba reliant on Soviet crude oil, which the American companies in Cuba refused to refine. This led the Cuban government to nationalize all three American-owned oil refineries in Cuba in response. The refinery owners were not compensated for the nationalization of their property. The refineries became part of the state-run company, Unión Cuba-Petróleo.[19][20] This prompted the Eisenhower administration to launch the first trade embargo—a prohibition against selling all products to Cuba except food and medicine. The Cuban regime responded with nationalization of all American businesses and most American privately-owned properties on the island. No compensation was given for the seizures, and a number of diplomats were expelled from Cuba."

I cannot type unless I'm sitting in a chair at my desk. Trying to type on the sofa or in bed means my hands are at all the wrong angles and touch typing completely fails me. (I wrote this not looking at the keyboard at all.)

Almost any war is fought by a tiny minority, which is backed by large majority.

While technically true, in a real war the “tiny minority” (the military) don’t choose when or where or why to fight, that is done by the “large majority”, the voters electing a government.
Lobe.ai Review
I think it’s certainly more grounded in reality if you realize 538 is basically finished if they miss the mark again.

If you listen to what they say, they admit they were not able to measure for the no-colllege male demographic in 2016, or in other words, they couldn’t model identity politics. Why couldn’t they do that? I’m not sure, but they are certain they can this time around because they saw the 2016 data and now believe they have more complete data to not make the same mistake again.

They are looking at elections as if there are hundreds of millions of elections that happen every day and the data speaks for itself. No sorry, there’s very few elections to extrapolate the way they are doing it, and you really need to do sociopolitical analysis of things like a demographic identity bloc (no-college whites that feel some way about things) that really get you the accurate undercurrents that can sway an election.

Lastly, it doesn’t take a genius to sit there at 10pm on election night and go ‘well if Florida and Michigan went this way, then probably so will these other states in flux’. ‘Our forecast becomes more accurate as we get the actual poll closing numbers on election night’, ah I see, you’re all geniuses, I should have known.

Anyways, we’ll know soon enough.

Maybe the last sentence needs a bit expanding, I think most readers already use a powerful text editor and don't see how standard features would help with lisp. The thing is, you don't really edit Lisp as text. Two commonly used extensions (for emacs, vim, vscode, sublime...) are paredit and rainbow. Those extensions kick in when lisp code is detected.

It then feels more like tree manipulation than like writing code. Braces are always matched, you literally cannot delete the closing brace using normal text editing. Each tree depth as its own brace color so it's easy to distinguish between them.

Restructuring tree to join two blocks of code or to extract block to higher level is exposed as command mapped to keyboard shortcut. It's not semantic editing in sense that extension is aware what is function and what is data, you can still make nonsense code. Still, reading and manipulating code is quite effortless.

15 inch MBP is too bulky and too hot for this - this is why I'd like to get a smaller ARM based device and go client/server.

Ideally Apple would push out a 2in1 with touch but they are set on pushing iOS for touch - which is just too limited for all intents and purposes. I would gladly buy a premium Lenovo 2in1 or some Ryzen 5xxx series ultra portable windows laptop (they are much better on thermals from what I've seen) but I still need a OSX client from time to time unfortunately. There's just no flexibility with Apple ecosystem - you either fit into their intended use cases or you're stuck with suboptimal tradeoffs.
To be fair, the Daily Mail seems to have toned it down a bit since the editor changed a few years ago.

Subject to the caveat that I haven't lived in the UK for over 15 years, overall the popular press in the UK is a bit shocking. I don't know of any liberal western country where you see the kind of racism routinely displayed on the front page of mainstream/popular UK newspapers. Perhaps xenophobia rather than direct racism would be a better description but it's not easy to tell the difference in many cases. It's all a bit weird as the UK is generally a tolerant society but somebody must be buying all those newspapers.

About the only UK newspaper I can read these days without getting upset is the Financial Times - there's pockets of good journalism in the Guardian also but it's almost too much of a struggle to find them in the swamp of opinion pieces. I guess the Times isn't too bad or at least tries to represent some sort of centrist view but it feels fairly shallow.

For me the Brexit issue is the UK's version of the culture war in the US. I've talked to people who say they can barely talk to members of their family any more because of Brexit stance differences. And I don't see this division healing very soon - I fear it's going to fester for years.
I read an account of Boswell's drinking of an evening once, and it made my liver ache:

"The levels of consumption were at times prodigious. On October 13, 1783 there were three men at dinner at Auchinleck, and between them they polished off three bottles of claret, two bottles of port, two bottles of Lisbon, three bottles of Mountain and one bottle of rum. Three days later six men sat down to dinner, but did not rise until they had emptied seven bottles of claret, two “Scotch pints” of claret (each of which was equivalent to three English pints, and thus to approximately two normal bottles), three bottles of port, one bottle of Lisbon, two bottles of Madeira, one bottle of Mountain and one bottle of rum.

You might think that, after such indulgence, a day or so of dry toast and herbal tea might be just the thing. But the following day seven men were at table, and if anything they exceeded the potations of the previous evening. They again drank seven bottles of claret, two Scotch pints of claret, and three bottles of port, before varying the conclusion of the entertainment with two bottles of Lisbon, one bottle of Madeira and no fewer than three bottles of rum. "

> They don't pollute your code any differently than a regular .h/.c setup would.

For that to happen you'd need to have a separate .c to include just that .h with IMPLEMENTATION defined. So in the end there's still an .h and a .c, except the .c is now completely superficial.

The Inner Ring
I’m not saying talk Radio and Fox News aren’t part of the problem, but blaming that alone for the polarization is short-sighted. A huge part of our polarization is due to our Supreme Court resolving social disputes before society has reached a consensus. Folks in Europe often don’t appreciate how different American constitutional law is on social issues compared to European norms:

The UK makes teaching religion mandatory in public schools: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_education_in_primary...

> Additionally, all schools are required by law to provide a daily act of collective worship, of which at least 51% must be Christian in basis over the course of the academic year.

This would be unconstitutional in the United States. We are far more religious than the U.K. But our Supreme Court has imposed a public secularism similar to that of France. (Based on an extremely strained reading of the Establishment Clause.) To this day, 2/3 of Americans oppose this 70-year old precedent.

In the UK, you legalized same-sex marriage by law. In the U.S. the Supreme Court found it to be a constitutional right (in a decision that is in my opinion correct as a legal matter, but many disagree). A year later, the European Court of Human Rights reached the opposite result (finding that denying same-sex couples the right to marry does not violate the European Convention on Human Rights) in a case arising out of France. It’s still not legal in Switzerland.

The UK legalized abortion by law. It’s 24-week limit on abortion for economic reasons is the longest in the EU. In the US, abortion was legalized by the Supreme Court. 24 weeks is a fairly typical limit in the US—a country that’s more religious than Poland (where abortion is illegal). The 12-week limit in Denmark or Germany or France, or the waiting periods that were place in France until 2015, would be unconstitutional. Germany’s abortion laws (where the constitutional court found it unconstitutional to legalize abortion so it’s still just decriminalized under 12 weeks, and where there is a counseling requirement) would be unimaginable. Indeed, at the same time as the Supreme Court found a constitutional right to abortion, the courts of Canada, Austria, and France found that it was a matter for the legislature to decide.

You passed a law banning discrimination based on sexual orientation. Since it was legislation, you were able to consider and impose a large set of exemptions for specific occupations. (You can’t sue a Catholic Church for not hiring gay clergy.) The Supreme Court just recently held (in a decision I think was correct) that our existing 1960s-era law already banned sexual orientation discrimination.

Our Supreme Court is dominated by our country’s cultural elites. Even the conservatives tend to be steeped in the cultural norms of the coastal urban areas. (The one Justice who is not, and has social views typical of Black men like himself of his age, is demonized mercilessly.) No other developed country puts a highly-educated elite in charge of dictating to the rest of the country how to handle these social issues. This is a huge source of resentment and polarization.
I've also used macros to execute some expensive data processing at compile-time. I had a fixed dataset containing named sets of strings, and I wanted a program which reads in a set of strings and returns the names of any supersets which appear in the dataset. For example, if the dataset contains 'x = {a, b, c}', 'y = {a, b, d}' and 'z = {a, c, d, e}' then a query of '{a, c}' should return '{x, z}'.

I managed to speed this up a lot by using a (TemplateHaskell) macro to (a) read in the dataset from an external file at compile time, (b) transform it into a structure that has fast lookups and (c) serialise that structure to a Haskell syntax tree. Not only did this make lookups faster at runtime, it also eliminated all the error checking for locating/reading/parsing/etc. of the dataset: any problem would cause a compile error; if compilation succeeded, the resulting program didn't have to know or care about any of that.
Back in my day, time didn't exist!
> In the passage I have just read from Tolstoy, the young second lieutenant Boris Dubretskoi discovers that there exist in the army two different systems or hierarchies. The one is printed in some little red book and anyone can easily read it up. It also remains constant. A general is always superior to a colonel, and a colonel to a captain. The other is not printed anywhere. Nor is it even a formally organised secret society with officers and rules which you would be told after you had been admitted. You are never formally and explicitly admitted by anyone. You discover gradually, in almost indefinable ways, that it exists and that you are outside it; and then later, perhaps, that you are inside it.
The Daily Mail had an anti-WFH campaign recently with classics like this:

Yeah I just added that while you wrote your comment, sorry.

You can still put multiple implementations into the same source file and compile that into a library, for example:

https://github.com/floooh/sokol-samples/blob/master/libs/sok...

That's what I usually do for projects that don't just consist of a single source file (e.g. simple command line tools).

An actual advantage of this approach is that you can add any configuration defines in that same source file, instead of passing them in from the build system via compiler command line args.

Also for bigger projects you can have dozens or hundreds of header files but only a small number of source files (e.g. one source file per "system" or split by change frequency, or by any other criteria (like whether the implementations include Windows.h or other system headers). A small number of compilation units means fast compile times (since it's essentially a unity build), but at the same time you have enough control over the project's file structure to balance compile times vs "namespace pollution" vs what changes trigger a rebuild.
Yes, you can find Marxists in the UK. That does not at all change what I wrote. The narrative of Marxism as some big scary bogeyman in UK politics is an alt-right trope. Suggesting the SNP, which is only moderately left wing even by UK standards, is close to Marxism-Leninism is equally ludicrous.

Put another way: If Marxism had any prominent support in the UK, RLB would have been outflanked on the left in the Labour leadership elections, rather than losing to someone on her right.
