If we're playing code golf, then in Clojure it is:

or even

(def bar inc)

but the difference is that in Clojure, all of these are `IFn`s, and have the same calling syntax, unlike Elixir.
> The federal government effectively doubled the national debt in about a year, firehosing money to any and all causes indiscriminately.

There's a lot I disagree with in how you're framing your post, but I'll only address this:

What you describe is a good thing.

Borrowing lots of money during a crisis to avoid long-term damage is the best possible use of national debt (whereas compensating for a budget in deficit, the usual offender, is the worst).

We often forget that money is a virtual thing. It's a signal of where value should be distributed. During a crisis, firehosing money towards closed-down businesses is saying "this crisis is only temporary, these businesses should still be able to operate when the economy opens up again".
Depends on the language though as there are JavaScript compos nowadays.
I hear this a lot. And experienced it personally, but not always.

I'm also way healthier than most. My suspicion is that this happens later in life (or substantial users faster) because of a depletion of various enzymes used to metabolize specifically THC.

The best recommendation I have is to make sure you are getting enough omegas. There are undoubtedly other nutrients at play, but that's all I know that will help.

I agree, It's one of the things where I feel I hate the opinion, but it is what it is.

If the promise boils down to the blog announcement on their blog, the line is 'all Tesla vehicles produced in our factory – including Model 3 – will have the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver.'

IMO (not a lawyer), it feels like they didn't tell you it would be the latest, greatest, continually supported in perpetuity, never changing hardware. They told you it had hardware that could support a full self-driving system that is safer than a human. Hardware that they do not support now.

I haven't interacted with any Tesla sales folks, but I feel like if you asked about a commitment like this, even before this subscription service, no one is going to commit to that.

They made it clear it's up to you to purchase the self-driving software, and that is where all the magic is.
And to boot, the available agreement when people purchased the car is still on the table; if you give them $10k, they will give you hardware.
If you want the subscription, you need to have/acquire the supported hardware.

If they had a contract like a phone (which dislike that business model) where you commit to X months, I could see it. But I too wouldn't want to be handing these out to have people cancel after a month.

As a practical reality, the vast majority of Americans never see gun violence their entire lives, it isn't part of their lived experience. They view guns as a tool, not a significant risk. Almost all of the gun violence is concentrated in a handful of neighborhoods with long histories of violent crime generally where, ironically, gun possession is often illegal.

Technically speaking, Americans can legally own almost any weapon they can safely store. There are even a few ballistic missiles floating around the US in private hands.

Fair point in some ways - perhaps knife crime is higher here. But on balance it's surely better to have violent crime that's more likely to involve treatable outcomes rather than death?
I don't know enough to say this for sure, but my impression is that solarpunk emerged as a drop in replacement for the (sexist) "helpless white girl" trope in cyberpunk. That is to say, the a solarpunk person or community exists inside of a cyberpunk work as an innocent thing which motivates the cyberpunk hero to protect it or seek revenge for its destruction. Just as with the "helpless white girl" trope, the solarpunks in a cyberpunk work lack agency--they're just victims whose primary purpose is to act as motivators for the characters with agency. This is sometimes cringefully underscored by the solarpunk character also being a helpless white girl (with all the sexism that implies).

In the better cases of solarpunk-in-cyberpunk, this may initially come across as condescending, but realize that in context, the cyberpunk hero is only putting on a show of agency. The nihilism of cyberpunk comes from the fact that the cyberpunk hero's actions are ultimately pointless. The capitalist overlords in a cyberpunk work are like Greek gods: immortal. In this context, the cyberpunk heroes' struggles are ultimately in vain--the capitalist overlord may not always win, but the cyberpunk hero always loses. Given this, the solarpunks' decision to carve out some small happiness for themselves before their inevitable destruction seems more reasonable--the cyberpunk hero is a tragic hero whose fatal flaw is that they can't admit defeat, and have to suffer their entire lives struggling ineffectually against powers beyond their control.

In a way that's an insight into why I identify so viscerally with cyberpunk: I want to be solarpunk but I'm too cynical. I don't think that's a bad thing, but it's certainly not an enjoyable thing--I think ultimately I'm happiest when I can be a little less cyberpunk and a little more solarpunk.

If the set of queries you want to run is fixed you can probably beat SQLite with a lot of work, if the queries are dynamic I doubt that you can do much better than SQLite without herculean efforts. A in-memory database is thus a good option if you either don't care too much about the runtime of your queries and you want to save a bunch of development time, or if you don't know enough about your workload to be able to beat a general purpose solution.
I wrote my master's thesis on this exact topic back in 1989. The answer IMHO (which is due to Bertrand Russel [1]) is that the correct rendering of "Aunt May believes that spider man fights crime" is not BELIEVES(AUNT-MAY, FIGHTS-CRIME(SPIDER-MAN)), it is EXISTS(X): BELIEVES(AUNT-MAY, FIGHTS-CRIME(X)) AND BELIEVES(AUNT-MAY, NAME-OF(X, "SPIDER-MAN"))

and then you can also throw in BELIEVES(AUNT-MAY, NOT(NAME-OF(X, "PETER-PARKER"))) if you like.

I hear this from software engineers, from time to time. What do you mean they aren't allowed to SSH into prod anymore? How will they debug, update, or maintain anything?

Sometimes this is your standard-issue hostile reaction to change. The old approach is what they are used to and they don't understand the need to change it (and "ask to understand" mostly so they can try and negotiate). This new world just seems to get in the way for no clear reason. Management neither appreciates nor understands the reluctance and just pushes on.

Usually what needs to happen is a series of changes across the org. You roll out the change with references to policy to support it. Workflows get updated and reworked so that SSHing into prod is not, in fact, the way to update systems or view logs or whatever.

Most of all, educational materials are provided. Often I find that people object to changes because they don't know another way to work. If all you've ever known is SSHing into prod to read logs, you've probably never heard of Kibana or used OpenTelemetry.

Notion claims it can be a 1 stop replacement for Confluence, Jira and Trello. Has anyone tried that? How did it go?
I wonder about pre-orders in general sometimes. It's a form of investment.

That said, this Tesla thing isn't a pre-order exactly, because they explicitly promised FSD capabilites, so it should at least save on a trip to the shop to install something later. Unfortunately, it wasn't FSD, but just some basic stuff, so if you want more you've got to go in and pay anyway.

The key here is "full self-driving" = FSD, which can only be interpreted to mean that the car can in fact drive itself (safely).
I took a weekend trip to Ocean Shores Washington last weekend, and…the restaurants were all packed and wanting of long waits due to lack of servers and cooks. Resorts towns have been hit really hard, but this might also have to do with them laying off all of their staff at the start of the pandemic. Did they just expect these people to wait around?
A nice alternative to add to the arsenal, along with Invidious (https://redirect.invidious.io/) and federated hosting alternatives such as PeerTube (https://joinpeertube.org/).

The now-largely-unusable (thanks to API key limitations) mps-youtube command-line utility still remains the most useful interface to YouTube I've ever used.

https://github.com/mps-youtube/mps-youtube

- Runs without any browser at all.

- From a console.

- Without video, if you so specify.

- Enables full search, can be limited to music posts only, includes both content and account search. That is, you can search for content matching terms, or for a username / account matching a term. Also playlists IIRC.

- Can play based on a given account's videos / postings.

- Individual items can be saved to a queue. Those may be ephemeral (session-only), or saved to disk.

- Content can be downloaded if preferred.

- No YouTube account required, no play history on YouTube.

The only feature missing that I can recall is the ability to blacklist specific accounts. A chief problem with clickbait, propaganda, baiting, and radicalisation channel proliferation is that the activities carry little risk. Yes, YouTube itself occasionally removes high-profile cases, but people themselves cannot say "never show me anything from this source again", at least last I checked. Curation of sources, and killing high-noise sources, continues to be my most effective techique for boosting S/N.

That said, mps-youtube was and remains the best interface I've found for searching for, curating, and managing online video access to my interests and without any tracking or ads, both of which have massive negative social externalities. I'd used it fairly extensively for my own preferred use of the site: finding lectures (and occasionally book-readings or similar content), and queuing up playlists or downloading archives of those. Works on absolutely minimal hardware.

YouTube apparently did all they could to kill this, and have largely succeeded.

If you read the essay they made a good example of why black people are hesitant- their history of mistreatment by a racist medical industry.

I was recently given a legacy project to work on. Two things happened, I made at least one big mistake that took 4 people and 3 days to fix on production. Second, I realized that I had a very strong resistance to reading somebody else’s code.

When I was forced to in order to correct my mistake I realized that reading the code would have been so much easier to begin with, and even exciting… kind of like a puzzle to be solved.

Trying to understand a project, starting with main, arguments, env variables all the way down to the part your are interested in gives SO MUCH insight not only into the project but into the company and their process.

Code don’t lie. It’s a hurdle to get past but understanding the project as a whole give so much insight (i. e. edge cases, hacks used in the past, etc.) and confidence when fixing a specific problem.

PLA is a plastic made of corn (it is polymerized lactic acid). It's actually a pretty versatile thermoplastic as it's semi-crystalline and so although it can be formed at relatively low temperatures, if you heat treat it (which increases its crystallinity), it can withstand ~boiling temperatures like other common thermoplastics. It's also technically biodegradable, but usually won't actually break down unless thin and in proper industrial compost processes. (Which can be kind of good for many applications... you don't want your plastic breaking down while in use, although you definitely don't want to be littering PLA.)

It's pretty cheap, commonly used in one-time plastic items, and is the most common 3D printing plastic.

But also, you can make polypropylene and polyethylene pretty easily from methane (which can be from biological sources or synthesized from electrolyzed hydrogen and CO2) via methanol-to-olefins processes, common in China.

But you're missing the point. We can synthesize literally anything you can make from oil using hydrogen, direct air captured CO2, and the Fischer-Tropsch process. It's a complete replacement for crude oil. It's just more expensive than getting it from the ground.
Not OP but I think the gist was more about solving the same/similar class of problem in a different context. You’re not going to build a library to abstract away certain things, for lots of good reasons. E.g. in OOP you may intentionally not use inheritance between a few similar (but distinct) business cases because of the overall maintenance burden/rigidness it would introduce. So you end up with more boilerplate, but your codebase is overall more flexible.
You can tell who knows nothing about restaurant margins...
For the case where I want the ability to run one-off analytics queries, having access to the usual set of join/filter/summarize/etc. operations is a lot more convenient and less error-prone than having to manually write them.

Quick feedback: this is an interface paradigm that I haven't thought of before (and haven't stumbled upon, if it exists in other apps). Immediately recognized how useful it is and I've already set up a few checklists.

And the UI itself is simple and to the point without any BS (probably because you're independent and don't need to hit OKRs), and matches iOS so it was easy to jump into and get started.

Thanks and please continue development!

In Player of Games, the protagonist is a Culture human, but has no control over and no idea what will happen at the end (actually, he is deceived about the nature of his visit), which is all orchestrated by Minds - "his" drone being their prolonged hand, playing a servant until it isn't.

In Consider Phlebas, the main character is defeated by a Mind which then mockingly takes his name.

Read Excession to see the full extent of the Minds' control over Culture - literally nothing is decided by humans, they're played around with.

However, it seems to be possible to live out a full life without any major interference, in total comfort and experiencing unimaginable things. IMHO it's a good tradeoff, one just has to stay far away from Contact and especially Special Circumstances.

Yeah, having visited a few times I get that the media portrayal of the US being a 21st century Western is off. And I sort of get the idea that "people are much less likely to start anything if they know most people are carrying". But there's a tacit assumption in there that criminals have guns. For all that legal owners may not be a problem in the vast majority of cases, the more firearms there are, the bigger the pool of firearms there are for criminals to get their hands on. Having read through a few of these responses it seems to boil down to how much US citizens trust their government compared to other countries. The fact that there are federal bodies - such as the army - with enough firepower to flatten a city, yet people insist on carrying guns because they don't trust the government feels a bit off. But I think I'm straying from your point there.

I have no idea why you're being down-voted. You literally can make any hydrocarbons we get from crude using synthesis gas (from CO2 and water split into hydrogen) using the Fischer-Tropsch process: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fischer%E2%80%93Tropsch_proces...

Are folks just not aware of this, so they think people who say you can "make plastic out of CO2 and water" are talking hand-wavy nonsense?

The process is used commercially today in Qatar, Malaysia, and South Africa plus has had pilot plants in the US. But many of these US pilot plant efforts stopped when the price of oil cratered. So again, we absolutely do have alternatives to crude oil, it's just a function of economics.
