The article mentions GNU Guix as "the" package manager for Guile Scheme.

Now, Guix includes some 15000 non-Scheme packages, so it is somewhat "overkill". OTOH you can also install/run/dockerize a world of Common Lisp packages with Guix. :-)
Last I checked, all businesses continuously modify their codebase. So planning for change seems to be the only way to survive in such an environment. Not sure what your experience is where you’d label this as “wrong.”
Great comment.

Philosophy touches on topics beyond those bound by axioms, which is its beauty. It lets one wonder beyond the realm of what is knowable.
I really enjoyed Story of Philosophy by Will Durant, which covers the following philosophers: Plato, Aristotle, Bacon, Spinoza, Voltaire, Kant, Schopenhauer, Spencer, Nietzsche, Bergson, Croce, Russell, Santayana, James, and Dewey.

Running isn’t the only way to get cardio in. Tabata/HIIT, while making you feel like you’re on the verge of dying, are wonderful and most important safe for your knee joints. Long distance running will wear your meniscus out.

So for everyone here who says they don’t like to run - that’s fine, get on the stairmaster or pick up a kettlebell or medicine ball and do some swings and tosses and side movements. Running will seem like a walk in the park by comparison.
I found Plato (and what he relates of Socrates) transparently self serving. Like a consultant who’s recommendations always involve more consulting work.

I don’t understand this argument. It’s trivial to de-duplicate an abstraction by just inlining the code. How is that less efficient than duplicating code? At least in the meantime you get the benefit of shared code changes.
Pulling Data from an API, Using AWS Lambda
These days you can just use WOFF2 and be done with it. It won't work for a small minority of older browsers, but I think that's okay for webfonts, as they're entirely optional and you site will work fine without them.
There still needs to be some out of hand signal that it accepts that option otherwise you would pass it to tools that don't and cause undefined behavior.
I think as you do more yoga you realize that the same “easy” poses are starting points that can be deepened and, when you are ready, added to via variations. Either of the yogis I mentioned in my previous post point out variations. I am surprised how poses I thought I had become advanced at in the beginning were actually just surface level as I developed better interoception and realized the way different body parts and focus could be stretched. It is hard to explain. Just do yoga and over time you’ll know exactly what I am referring to.

Re rounding your back - this is an example of what I am talking about above. If you are rounding your back as you touch your toes, this is an example of not focusing on the right thing. You should be hinging at the hips, not the lower back. If you can’t touch the floor without rounding your back, then either don’t touch the floor or bend your knees enough to let you touch the floor (each of these options focuses on stretching different things).

Good luck & Namaste!

In Apple's keynote announcing the XDR they literally called it the "World's best pro display" and then proceded to compare it to Sony's $40k reference monitor. I agree the comparisons are unfair and that at $5k it occupies an interesting price point in the market, but Apple did really bring it upon themselves.
This seems to contradict the common assertion that Javascript and Java are unrelated. Interesting.
Memory fragmentation is generally a problem for pets, not cattle. In 90% of use cases it’s nothing that frequently reaping processes won’t fix. This works regardless of language, as it pushes the job of garbage collection onto the os. Another nice feature of treating your processes like dirt is that you tend to get high fault tolerance and scalability as emergent properties.
For everyday transactions, paper cash makes more sense than Bitcoin, which isn't designed for everyday transactions. There are other cryptocurrencies designed for everyday transactions.

Perhaps there were people who thought Bitcoin was supposed to enable free and fast transactions but obviously it isn't. There are other cryptocurrencies that are. Bitcoin is more like digital gold.
Any good guides on how to get started in Lisps, from a programming languages theory perspective?
I assume someone posted this link in the discussion and it has faded, but the US CDC has a fine webpage addressing excess deaths in the US, with time series data for the last 3 years and an ability to look at individual State-level info

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm

I’m not a fan of the automatic rescaling and truncating of the y-axis on charts by the original link. It is associated with a “lying with statistics” attack on the meaning of the graph. The CDC graphs don’t suffer from that problem.
Maybe I missed a section in the post that provided any argument for why there should be a revolution at all.

I couldn't watch the ridiculous video all the way through. I am positive that the prank victims would have asked the other folks in the room what was going on. Did they address how people asked and whether/how they were answered?

If you're assured by other people that, "it's fine, this happens", it's even more understandable to not panic in this situation.
Traits of the Financially Independent
Not exactly related, but I’ve been using macOS, Windows, and (for the last week) Linux all on the same LG HiDPI screen (4K, but small screen), and no matter how I try to wrangle Windows I just can’t get it to look good. It’s incredibly frustrating when you know how good the monitor can look.

Linux seems better somehow but I haven’t had as much time with it there, so I’m not exactly sure why.

I don't know how "tight" Teams is coding and architecturally, but Slack didn't do itself favors with electron.

It's the rare example of the "total rewrite" absolutely being needed and (maybe) coming a bit too late.

Slack's revenue is rounding error on Office's revenue. And while I still fervently distrust Microsoft due to its past sins, monopoly defense development isn't exclusive to Redmond.
Correct, the sun is a great source of energy. But we use most of our energy when the sun is blocked by the earth. The sun is opex and capex free, but the storage necessary to make it feasible requires massive capital expenditure and massive operational expenditure.

The point is, just adding watts to the grid is not a solution. You needed watt when they're needed and where they're needed. And doing that with renewables is a lot harder, hence why we're really just supplementing fossil fuels with wind and solar not really working towards full decarbonization.

My assertions about the capacity of battery production were indeed backed by sources of predicted growth of battery production. In case you missed it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25283498
It's interesting that you talk about people lacking rigor in their thinking, while your understanding of the leaks lacks rigor, and you use your lack of rigorous understanding as the foundation for platitudinal statements filled with repeated "probably"s. That, and you call VW an institution with integrity, despite their massive coverup. Just sayin'.

One way to split the difference: rucking. It's just walking while carrying extra weight. Gives you a harder cardiovascular workout that isn't as taxing as running, more along the lines of hiking depending on the weight. I guess biking is another way.
First, a codebase where you have to write every piece of logic by hand every time is much more constrained than an overly-DRY codebase. Let’s make sure that that’s clear.

Then, it’s very difficult to give general advice because the usefulness of an abstraction is completely contextual. But I remove duplication from the start, and I re-duplicate by replacing the abstraction with its code inline in the places it isn’t working any more. That allows me to look for and apply a new abstraction.

I feel like its fair to call logic programming, including prolog and datalog, exotic. They've fallen out of the mainstream (especially compared to lisp which was a big competitor to it at the time) and are quite different to program in than procedural languages.

My mental model of prolog is to imagine you are constructing a graph, where some of the nodes have side effects, and then tell the compiler to do a depth-first-search, executing any side effects it comes across.

Liquid natural gas freightliners are also refillable. I'm not sure what you mean by this. A cargo ship filled to the brim with batteries still has orders of magnitude less energy as a ship filled with the same mass of natural gas.
I think it's because they evolved to bite humans and animals sleeping outdoors. The night is full of sounds of crickets, frogs, and other creatures that can drown out a mosquito's hum.

Quiet bug-proof houses are a new invention. Very few mosquitoes successfully make it inside, bite, escape the building, and find a suitable place to lay their eggs. If most mosquitoes get killed after entering the building, natural selection may be pushing for mosquitoes that don't enter homes at all.
> It's best to start with epistemology, epistemology is the foundation for all works in philosophy, which an understanding of is necessary for not only a good rigor but to know what is possible to know, so you don't your waste time.

I could not disagree more with this position. This is a common view in philosophy Descartes onward, but it is untenable because to know what can be known presumes knowing what is to be known first. Similar attitudes exist with respect to methodology. Method always follows knowledge of the real. Otherwise, how could you know which method to use? Before you decide to use a hammer, you must first know you have a nail and a couple of planks to assemble. The style of philosophizing that Descartes initiated is ultimately the death knell of philosophy and frankly all knowledge.

Epistemology is always done reflexively. We can only examine what knowledge is after we've come to know something. Metaphysics is really the best place to start and on which everything else depends.
This article is astounding. I really appreciate the many examples. This also furthers my appreciation of the work that goes into some of the games that I've found really responsive or good in ways that I coulnd't express. I think in particular about the examples in Limbo and Geometry Wars given in the article.
I'm curious as to why they didn't mention Racket—perhaps they've just never heard of it.

My first programming language was Perl. After Perl came a little bit of C, but then I soon switched to Common Lisp. I wrote a lot of Common Lisp: I programed a text-based adventure game engine ala Zork entirely in CL! After reading Paul Graham's On Lisp and learning about Scheme, I took a look. My dad got me a PDF of SICP; I learned to prefer the Lisp-1 style of Scheme to the Lisp-2 style of CL.

I've done a bit of Clojure—I feel like Clojure does a better job of making data structures more ergonomic than either Scheme or CL.

I've recently started working more in Racket and I am loving it. It feels like a Scheme with a more visible, vibrant ecosystem. (Could just be me not being aware of the Scheme ecosystem—I was only 15 or so at the time I started writing Scheme.) Racket is definitely optimized for building DSLs. But I feel like the standard library is a bit better documented and easier to work with.

Just my experience though. I could be totally missing out on some great Scheme libs.

At the end of the day, Lisp in all its flavors is great, and I want to write as much of it as I can in my career.
One will recall that Internet Explorer was literally integrated into Windows 98, replacing the file explorer at one point, so Microsoft could argue they couldn't unbundle it.

WeChat and Indian "Super Apps" followed this model to grow to success. WeChat Pay in 2013 was basically like Facebook taking WhatsApp and using it to become a player competing against MasterCard/Visa.

Yes you can build a giant do it all monolith app to duplicate your competitions features and then crush them. The fact the apps are packed as a single program instead of via distinct programs isn't THAT meaningful and I'm kind of happy it isn't otherwise we would veer into lawyers designing programs more and more.

The Slack/Microsoft thing smacks of anticompetitive behavior simply because Teams is essentially free and on Microsoft's lowest cost plans and Microsoft is transparently attempting to crush Slack to death in a price war to secure a monopoly. The underlying quality of the two products is rendered a moot point.
Racket has tons of packages and I believe it has everything he talked about (keyword arguments, etc.).
I tried, I have an LG UltraFine 5k connected to an 5k iMac (2019) it works on the iMac but not the LG.

This might explain why I’ve experienced a slight difference when working with photos and video on the iMac monitor vs the LG UF5k. Interestingly I have a small program synchronizing the brightness of my LG with the iMac, the LG would light up ever time I opened the video on the iMac and then come back down on closing. This might explain som weird brightness behaviors I’ve been noticing on the 5k every now and then, I use to decouple the syncing whenever that happens and now I might know why.
Small quibble: there are people who hate jogging, but love fast exercise. I hate hate hate jogging, but loved sprinting, HIIT, and all manner of sports involving quick movements plus slower times.

Not clear which group the people in this thread belong to, but jogging does seem to polarize.
Might as well plug the game server I wrote over the summer. It's a python UDP server that I was able to scale to over 100 concurrent users based on various sources, but mostly the Gaffer On Games blog.

I chose python because I wanted game development to be fun. Ultimately, I couldn't find an existing python framework for multiplayer games that scaled well to my needs.

> I would think a real engineer would provide a technical solution to a non-technical person for them to fiddle with themselves.

Fiddling is one thing, and designing a system to enable fiddling is something engineers often do. But a lot of PM requests aren't even close to fiddling. If your product is a streaming video service, adding DVR capabilities is something a PM might request. No amount of non-technical fiddling will enable that functionality. But a well-designed architecture with isolated functional components will make the work of adding such a feature far less painful than a poorly designed one would.
Thank you for your interest.

Session management is one. In Unix, programs like GNU screen or tmux are needed for that. In most DEC operating systems, it was built into the system.

Another feature of the Tenex line of operating systems (and others of that era) was that the command shell also served as a 'system monitor,' like some of the 8-bit computers had. In other words, the CLI was also a rudimentary debugger.

An example of this was explained by Gerald Sussman. He told a story of how Marvin Minsky walked a student through making a full-featured program at the command line on an ITS system at the MIT AI Lab (or was it the Media Lab?).

Minsky simply made a program that consisted of nothing but the assembly language RETURN statement. Running that program brought the system back to the shell. Minsky then added a few more instructions to that program; not much, but enough to keep it in a working state. Then, Minsky—from the command line—examined the contents of certain registers, and incorporated them into the next few assembly language instructions which he added to the program.

At each stage of that loop, Minsky always had a working program. So, from the command line, one could develop an assembly language program in an environment that was more dynamic and responsive than that offered by many modern development environments for modern languages.

Why I Love the Idea of Elon
I think we're still learning how to deal with abusive relationships in the tech world. Consider this scenario:

Act 1: When I'm not paying attention, my friend says, "hey, do you mind if I go through your address book and contact all your friends and family and ask them to be my friend too? If you consent, say, 'what' or 'huh'"

Act 2: When I'm not looking, this friend goes through my address book and spams all my contacts with whatever they're selling under my name.

What would you advise me to do after that? You'd probably say, this person is not your friend by most definitions of the word, you should cut them out of your life and ask them to not contact you anymore.

To which I may say, but this friend is well connected, they might be able to get me a job in the future. (Although I've never gotten a job or even a lead through LinkedIn personally.)

What would you say to that? Probably something like, they're abusive and deceitful, whatever they have to offer, they'll probably damage your life more than they'd help you.

And that's why I closed my account and added a "delete on sight" filter for their emails.
You could try searching "introductory philosophy course" and it might return some kinds of searches for this... Consider bias, succinct detailing and noteable figures. Some of the greatest philosphers out there had their works changed because of laws and different stories. As for myself. I read biographies and other different understandings of philospophy
"Explanations exist; they have existed for all time; there is always a well-known solution to every human problem—neat, plausible, and wrong." -- H. L. Mencken I am not saying that the ideas you have listed are not without merit, however to say they will fix the 21 Century is a bit over reaching.
As a former philosophy major, I concur 100%.

There are many great recommendations of philosophy works to read, but logic itself is how philosophy works. I would even go as far as to say logic is the class that has had the single largest impact on my life.
You can also acclimate yourself to it through progressively increased exposure.

But it also varies a lot among people. My wife has no issues eating/handling mangoes but her twin sister has horrible allergic reactions.
