We take metric shit tons for granted in our everyday lives.

All of those risks are order of magnitude higher than that we would be without electricity for any extended period of time.

That's not comparable though - the better example I was thinking of is simply "would you transport a large quantity of cash across state lines?".

And in the US, the answer is: heck no. Thanks to civil forfeiture, it doesn't matter how much evidence you have that the money is yours and obtained from legal activities, first and foremost it'll be seized the the money charged with a crime.

So people just plain don't transport large sums of money around unless they absolutely have to, and get completely screwed over for it regularly.

The common refrain when people get done for this is "well you shouldn't do that". It's completely unethical and a miscarriage of justice, but it's effective.

The Debate About Stimulus Is Missing the Point
Bitcoin is not a viable hedge against a global economic downturn. Just because people push these narratives doesn’t make them true. There is absolutely no evidence that Bitcoin would not crash just as fast or faster than the economy. There are other viable assets that have well studied and well documented track histories.

Crypto currencies are best compared to pink sheets prior to increased regulation, and no one in their right mind would tell you to buy pink sheets to hedge against economic downturn even if their favorite did show a 10000% increase in value.
I don't understand the reasoning behind defending someone who kills six people by mentioning three people who killed ten. Do you seriously think the person you've replied to is happy about daily printed newspapers, junkmail, and wasted toilet paper?
Indeed.

I use Sendgrid for transactional emails and have disabled all tracking.

Email is hardly a guaranteed delivery system by nature, I do not need to have proof of delivery or proof of opening by tracking systems or even the logs (beyond needing to debug if a customer asks why they didn't get an email).

In fact, all I really need is the ability to resend a transactional email on demand, or the equivalent action I can communicate (in my case I run forums, and a transactional email would say "someone replied to your comment" and I can point at a page on the website that has the feed of recent actions).
Not the parent, but here's my take:

Email addresses are PII and Mailchimp is a US company. With the death of privacy shield, handing over your customers' PII to an American company is a gross violation of the GDPR and its implementations.

An EU company sending email to customers using American services would be a legal minefield if the GDPR would actually get enforced. As far as I know, no data protection agency has looked into the practice as of yet. Of course, that could all change very quickly.

Personally, I think the use of American services such as AWS, Azure and GCloud should be looked into first, though. Sharing a list of email addresses is nothing compared to placing your entire customer database into the hands of Amazon.

I’ve created https://ohmysmtp.com - a transactional email provider. One of the things we’ve specifically done is not include an option to track opens. I think we’re the only provider out there that doesn’t do this, and most if not all default to tracking opens.

Of course it would be useful to know if a user has opened a transactional email in some cases, but it’s really not necessary.

My personal gripe with tracking pixels is the UX, users have no idea that they are being tracked inside their email client. If there was a big button that said “tell the sender you’ve read this” would any user actually click it? Almost certainly not

Depending on the nature of your project. If it's some purely academic CS exploration, Scheme sometimes (but not always) allows you to express the concepts more eloquently. If it has to deal with practicalities of the broader world however, CL quickly takes over. The development experience is generally smoother in CL too.

If you run your things on a major architecture (x86 or aarch64) SBCL is a great starting point. However on certain platforms other compilers are more feature complete.
No, GP is right, for a simple reason: look at your input devices. A keyboard and mouse/touchpad combo is most effective at interacting with text. The story would be entirely different if the main interface was e.g. a stylus. A instant messaging service that sends hand written scribbles instead of text follows much more naturally from that.
As long as it is being disclosed, then there is not a massive problem. They have a Data Processing Addendum [1] that covers GDPR stuff, and the whole Privacy Shield stuff from last year doesn't matter too much because Standard Contractual Clauses are still valid (which that DPA is a part of [2]) so nobody is doing anything illegal if they are following the rules that were set out.

Obviously there are still plenty of companies that /don't/ follow it, but that doesn't rely on Mailchimp being involved.

No, it's not what OP says... He's saying security and convenience are mutually exclusive in BTC. I'm saying that is not the case...

Making it seem like there is some inherent issue with the design/architecture that makes this impossible is extremely misleading.

I spend a good chunk of my time at work evaluating pitchdecks, and even in the crypto space it's notable that most people try to build concepts that insert themselves as a rentseeking central hub even when their idea doesn't in any way require it. Clearly a lot of people see that as the best way of securing their ability to monetise.

But at least for some of those ideas it's clear that they'd have a far greater shot at success if they opened up and created something that allowed more benefits to flow to potential partners, and even to potential competitors, because it'd increase their chance of being the new standard in $field. They might end up with a smaller market share, but of a much larger market.

I'm not saying that will work for everyone, because it won't. But it seems people way too rarely consider if that's even a possibility, because they're from the start putting effort into preventing a decentralised model from working. Then, after they've ruled out a decentralised solution, a whole lot of them add "blockchain" to their pitchdeck after having made blockchain totally pointless by introducing a centralised authority... Sometimes I just want to lock some of these founders in a room and ask them "why?" over and over.

As someone who worked long in the visual field (Film, VFX, Graphics, Art) and has a ton of experience with text based expression (studied philosophy, programming) in my eyes picture based communication certainly is powerful.

However reading pictures is much more subjective than most non-arts-educated might tend to realise. We had a weekly class where we would discuss scenes and pictures and what it evoked in people, what they "read" in it. The one big takeaway I got from this, is just how profoundly different a room full of people can see very clear pictures. This subjectiveness is even worse when you look at gestures and body language of actors – what one student saw as strong and self sufficient, the other might see as forceful and destructive etc.

Of course we also have codified visual languages (traffic signs, warning labels, ...), but they only will work for low complexity info ("Warning slippy surface", but not: "Watch out the last step of that stairway was built to high and might cause you to fall"). The low information density of such symbols is great if you want simple messages to be understandable by a big number of persons very quickly and with little cognitive overhead.

Text can shine when symbols don't suffice, when pictures are to vague, when gestures are unclear. Text is easy to create, modify and copy and I love it for that. My freelance time as a graphic designer convinced me that many people think they can communicate visually, while very few actually can. A lot of people already have issues with getting their message (be it text or spoken word) understood in the way they meant it at the side of the recipient, with visual language this is likely worse.
I'd like to propose that we generalize this particular part of the conversation, and coin the term "XY Argument" (unless a name for it already exists?)

> > > > That's neat, one of them is prime

> > > 6 isn't prime, its factors are 2 and 3

I believe it's the equivalent of the [XY Problem], except in the context of an (imagined) disagreement. It happens because the second comment is misinterpreted to be arguing against the first when really it may be in addition. It can be fixed by readers taking a charitable interpretation of the second comment, or by the second commenter's author making it clear that they're not disagreeing, as in,

> > > Yes, and 6 isn't prime, its factors are 2 and 3

I'm pulling out these two comments because it's a much more common pattern than just this comment chain; I think it happens all the time with text in general. Actually, I'm commenting here because it just [happened to me] in a different context. Someone I thought I was arguing with turned out to mostly agree with me — but because we failed to re-affirm the parts of each other's arguments that we agreed with, it seemed like we disagreed more than we did.

Remote images are disabled by default in thunderbird, the Gmail webapp, the Gmail android app, the fastmail android app and the fastmail web app. Gmail makes an exemption for people manually added to your contacts, and they all have an option to load images by clicking a button which then gives an option to whitelist the sender for images.

The Gmail iOS app is the only example of an email client I have handy that doesn't do this by default and since that's signed into my work gapps I can't rule out that being something my employer has changed in the config.

I don't see them as hypocrites. They are selling what others are buying, but their own choices show that they value the environment.

The elephant in the room is that other oil exporters like Dubai, the US, Saudi Arabia _haven't_ made similar choices and feel free to pollute and plunder for their own short-term gains. Norway bought shares in TSLA with their oil fund. They supported TSLA during the tough times and for that they were richly rewarded in 2020.

I find the article's central premise a baseless accusation.
A naive implementation has to do a ridiculous number of scope lookups, even before you get to anything else.

Also instead of compile time macros, one has runtime fexprs, which means the equivalent of macro expansion happens every invocation.

However, one can have kernel style semantics with at least moderately reasonable performance by basically applying a combination of constant folding and expansion caching.

It's a bunch of extra effort though, and non-trivial to make work, though I'm currently experimenting myself with something where I'm willing to do that.

A key part is to be able to recognise fexprs that are 'really' just macros and pre-expand them and cache the expansion - without at least that you're screwed.

I'm also experimenting with what else I can cache given the principle that everything is a lexical environment.

I'm rather enjoying myself ... but understand the risks.

> Not as an end by itself, no; I want to learn more languages out of sheer intellectual curiosity, but most of all because I like building things, requirements vary by project, and I believe that it's good to have different tools to tackle them.

> I work primarily in JavaScript and Python, but academically I've had rigorous exposure to C, Java and OCaml, and a few other languages to a lesser extent. I appreciate the benefits of dynamic languages but I sometimes miss the confidence and expressiveness of strong types.

If you've actually made serious use of OCaml then I wouldn't bother with any of the languages on your list - they're very much the same paradigms as OCaml (similar to how I wouldn't advise someone to learn both Ruby and Python - it's not that there aren't differences between them, but those differences aren't mind-expanding if you see what I mean). If you're talking about "a multi-paradigm language with strong typing to my toolbelt" then isn't OCaml already that? So I'd say Elixir is a better bet from that perspective - I'm no fan of the language, but it does something that none of the other languages you've talked about does. (Well, there is an actor implementation for Scala, but IME it's in an awkward tension with the rest of the language - kind of like the OCaml object system in that respect).

> Not necessarily growing as in the left side of the hype cycle, but in that it will likely continue having a vibrant ecosystem in 5-10 years time.

Scala is not growing fast, but it's mature and stable in a way that Kotlin isn't yet; I genuinely have more confidence in Scala being usable in 5-10 years' time, though that may be my biases showing. I'd say the same thing but to a lesser extent with F# - the whole .net ecosystem is kind of a parallel world from the big contiguous dev community, and the move to .net core is a big disruption at a time when F# is always going to be a lower priority than C#. (Of course the JVM looked equally rocky for a while, but it feels like the community has coalesced smoothly around AdoptOpenJDK now).

As Fox News Struggles at Home, Murdoch Brings Its Playbook to the U.K
Where I previously lived (in Switzerland), we had a fireplace/stove very similar to the first picture. A bit similar to this: https://artoffire.ch/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Kachelofen-s... On the other side of the wall was the kitchen, and this was where you actually set up the fire, inside an ancient iron cooking stove. Using some kind of a "flap" you could allow the heat from the stove (for cooking) to go to the tiled stove in the living room (for heating).

In my current appartment (also in Switzerland), this is the stove we have: https://imgur.com/a/SVKahw5 We also have an oil based central heating system, so it's not really needed anymore, but on very cold days it allows to get the living room warm and cozy.
Wikipedia's List of codecs page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_codecs) is a good example of the explosion of complexity that arises when representing media digitally.

To this day, this complexity is still mostly offloaded to users in the form of export settings, and supported playback formats. One basic requirement of the technology reaching the point good media support is if a user never encounters codecs, in either export settings or playback problems.
Just out of curiosity, wouldn't it be able to setup thousands of ZFS test in a CI environment for every new linux development build, to see if there are any regressions, e.g. 1 failed, 999 passed.

Second thing, if more and more people start to use ZFS then it will automatically become a center of attention for linux kernel developers, because they don't want to break their users systems.

And one last note: not everything that is out-of-tree is automatically unstable, otherwise the whole userspace code would be unstable.

This is reductive line of thinking. You can't equate spending on cutting edge research with taking away from welfare. Earth has finite resources and you need to be forward looking as well while taking care of the present.

Also, it is not like all the research benefits just space exploration or MIC. For instance, research into hydroponics is being used on earth now to grow food with much less resources.
Most languages have subroutine/function calls that receive evaluated arguments and special constructs that don't. For example, in `sin(x)` the sin() function receives the value of x, but `if (x) { print(1); } else { print(2); }` doesn't evaluate both arms.

Even homoiconic languages like various Lisps have so-called special forms which treat their arguments differently from regular functions. Kernel makes everything a special form, so `(sin x)` actually receives a symbol x and a way to evaluate it in the context of its caller, which it immediately does.

It's not of much practical use, but it's a very beatiful design, reducing the number of concepts required to describe the semantics of a language even further.
