For the record, I'm the author of the original post on optimizing Common Lisp that the OP is addressing. The OP is a wonderful deep dive into optimizing Clojure. However, aside from possibly from avoiding the "last" function, and maybe using "keep" rather than "map" + "filter", I personally would avoid some of the strategies he outlines unless I truly needed the performance.

Transducers, for example, have a couple of counter-intuitive features that make them harder (for me, at least) to read... the order of "comp" arguments, for example, is reversed from normal usage. We tend to avoid them at my work unless they are truly needed for performance. In a complicated business domain, we struggle much more with building understanding than with slow code, so readability matters quite a bit.

(I leave aside the question of what is "idiomatic," since it seems pretty subjective, and probably depends somewhat on the crowd you run with.)

As several people have written here, Clojure is fast enough without optimization most of the time. (I leave aside the question of startup time -- a very different discussion.) Though I'm curious how to get good performance, most of the time it matters more to me for the code to be easier to understand than for it to run optimally fast, unless the code creates a bottleneck that has some clear impact on usability.

My goal in writing the original article was to play with optimizing Common Lisp as a learning exercise, rather than to throw down the gauntlet and assert that "Clojure is slow." The author's response was to show how to optimize the Clojure, which was very interesting! Ultimately, both languages have their strengths and weaknesses, and I consider myself lucky to be able to write Clojure for pay.

Hello Everyone I want to quickly use this medium to share a testimony on how i was directed to a Legit and real illuminati member who have transformed my life from grass to grace, from being poor to a rich woman who can now boast of a healthy and wealthy life without stress or financial difficulties. After so many months of trying to to be a member of the illuminati and was scammed the sum of $3,000 i became so desperate in being a member online who will not add to my pains, then i decided to contact a friend of mine who recently became a member, we discussed about the issue and to our conclusion she told me about a man called Paul mark who is the grand master in the whole of Africa. So i applied to become a member of illuminati easily without stress and all the preparations were made concerning how to become a member in two(2) days i became a member and the sum of 1.5 million dollars was deposited into my bank account so i want to advice any one who wants to become a member should call him +2349130700648 or WhatsApp him +2349130700648 or email (illuminatiworldoffamous@gmail.com) he does not know am doing this i pray that lucifer will bless him for the good things he has done in my life

That's sort of funny, as one of the remaining few value pitches for something like Bluehost (versus a $5/month vps) is "somebody else does apt-get update && apt-get upgrade for you".

Over the last short while I've seen Lightbend announce ceasing support for Play, others express that Slick is likely abandonware, and also seen my chosen Play authentication library, silhouette, get archived on github. All of this has impacted my favorite side project that I've been slowly plugging away on.

Silhouette is probably just because of one guy's schedule, but Play/Slick seems like after-effects of lightbend's layoffs many months ago, and while I don't know the cause of those it seems plausible it's because of the kind of thing you describe above.
> If a program crashes on an older CPU, it damn sure will crash on a modern CPU just as well.

Not necessarily; if the crash is caused by an instruction that's absent on older CPUs (for instance, trying to use an AVX2 instruction when the most the CPU has is SSE2), it will work on a modern CPU but crash on an older CPU.
From my real world experience on making desktop apps you want to get all the bug reports from all users, so you need to make it "1 click", This means add a menu /button to submit a bug report, then you popup a form where user fills stuff, you also send the log file where you collected info live OS version and other useful stuff plus the crash logs).

Same if you need to have the user run in debug mode you make it 1 click to enable/disable debug mode, usually though developers don't work directly with customers so then they don't put the effort to streamline the collection of quality bug reports.
Venice is without cars (due to necessity) and it's awesome. Transportation is handled by boats along the canals. Now that is an idyllic arrangement -- no cars, no buses, very few bicycles, just people walking and then taking boats.
From an emissions perspective, the problem with plastics is that they lock up a tiny portion of the CO2 that was previously locked up as petroleum (the remainder is released into the atmosphere as byproduct).

If we had “mined” plastic directly out of the ground, it would be fine to use (again from an emissions perspective), though not a net win since it would have already been “locked up” whereas wood only temporarily locks up hydrocarbons until it is cut down, used, and then ultimately decomposed. This would break that cycle.

From a non-emissions perspective, wood doesn’t have the same “microplastics” problem (although who knows what this bastardized wood might end up having).
My background is that I've cycled my whole life, all of childhood in rain and snow and later I've cycled for a few years in a big city. But I started to use it less and less, and now it's just parked and unused. And the reason is that there's always a better alternative. If the weather is nice, I drive an electric moped, it's not noisy or polluting, and it doesn't take up much space. And it's so so much better than cycling, I arrive much quicker and with more energy anywhere I go, and I can use the whole existing road network. And when the weather is bad, obviously public transport wins. I think the future is electric and self driving vehicles, not cycling, and being forced to propel yourself manually like that for basic transportation has no place in a modern world except for enjoyment, and this can be done in designated areas.

If you just want to avoid cars and have a more leisurely space, why not designate pedestrian zones like traditionally done in city centers, and use the space for cafés, market stands etc.
Of course. Google are every bit as bad for society as Microsoft are (and ever were).
Seems basically like must monetary instruments today. If I Venmo someone, no "money" is being transferred until they withdraw. We're using an intermediate broker to settle our debts, and it's very likely we'll just continue passing debt around people within that system without people withdrawing for some time.
Interesting- I'd say it misses:

1. foreperson - maybe this is obvious but someone should be in charge of procedure

2. Most importantly- the directions from the judge. The jury is deliberating specific question of fact, that have been pre-framed for them (and had a body of evidence laid out for them). This is not the same as any business decision meeting I've ever been in. If someone has already done the work to get the questions and evidence lined up, I bet the jury model does work well to get a dispassionate impartial decision. I doubt this construct occurs very often for business decisions.

My understanding is that Tether has bought a bunch of bonds and other financial instruments. If they need to raise cash, they would sell those instruments for whatever price they could get. That could lower the prices, which could have negative effects.
Lenovo is very nice hardware to run Linux. As you say, they even care about updating firmware.

However, there are a few things that IMHO are holding them back:

* In EU, sales and support are outsourced (to Digital River Ireland Ltd). Support is a disgrace. Sales are also bad, as pricing is ridiculous compared to the US (often 1.5-2x more expensive than Apple) and most models are released late. Besides, they often sell open-box machines as brand new. If the want to compare to Apple, Lenovo should try to have unified global sales and guarantee.

* They sell way too many Thinkpad variants, so they often release some that are unpolished. Lenovo should consolidate their lineup into fewer models.

* They are lagging back with processor updates, compared to other PC manufacturers or non-Thinkpad Lenovos. Thinkpads are often sold with previous generation Intel CPUs. Models with AMD variants are seldomly available.

Many cities have roads and bridges only devoted to light traffic, the real issue is that they are not excellent for biking. In many large cities the biggest problem is distances.

Sub zero temperatures are an issue even for professional bikers at Tour de France.

When the road conditions are not uniform and distances are longer than a few minutes ride they can cause serious problems.

For example imagine going uphill and then down, exposed to the chilling weather and the consequences on a casual bike user.
I actually thought this might be about bullets in documents, like different styles and fonts.
I was disappointed that the end was just like "oh and here are some weird examples of juries going horribly wrong" without making any suggestions for how to address analogous situations in corporate meetings.

I'm going to do a blog post on my job search in the next month or so, but for me it's been a _grind_ (that finally ended up with something, thankfully).

But sneak preview:

* 100 applications
* 54 first round interviews
* 24 second round interviews
* 10 third round interviews

Something like 94 total meetings (brief numbers here don't include 4th-6th rounds...), maybe 10 (?) "virtual onsites" of 3-6 hours, maybe only 4(?) takehomes, maybe 6 (?) Hackerrank projects.

I got a lot of at bats, and a lot of "swings and misses".

In general at least one place said that while they are hiring like nonsense (average desired growth at companies was 211% in the "forseeable": because I asked then aggregated them all in my spreadsheet) they apparently have a lot of candidates in the pipeline. So if you're kind of confusing because you're super senior and have done everything ??? maybe they get confused, and just say, "next!".

Out of the 4 external recruiter places I used, 2 were good at finding me excellent potentials that seemed to be enthusiastic about me and have short hiring funnels. By then I was wrapping up later stages with a place I found myself, and got a verbal offer, but I kind of suspect if I had leaned into external recruiters earlier I would have had a better experience / not feeling like I was spamming places with my resume.
Appreciate the old reddit url, so much more readable imo.

I don't think you can escape the use of the smart phone. But treating them as "throw-away", as not your device, etc.

I think the original landlines, which were/are a few switches connected to a write on one side and some microphones on the other, were close to inherently insecure. Phones haven't ever been "your device" whereas a laptop might, maybe be rendered trustworthy.

For instance, the "sources" accessible through those keywords put in a google search query.

As an Ubuntu and RHEL user, I tend to prefix my searches with "arch", for the same reason (although if you have a subscription, and your issue is with a RHEL system, RHEL is worth searching first, as they often have a bug report with resolution for your exact issue).

Me, and I am sure, several other people on here do several of these things. It makes a difference, but it's not enough. We need some action at a much bigger scale.
I tried Chrome long ago. It was a fine browser. But the it tried to log me in way too hard and gave me the creepy feeling of being followed in a dark alley. I’m sure I could have turned off that functionality but the fact it even existed was unsettling and I knew then that this was not the browser for me. Not surprised in the least by these revelations.

I don't think so. Bottles impart a small amount of flavor that's almost imperceptible to most people except for warm bottled water. Canned water exists but is a little unusual, that liquid death company with the energy drink looking cans is the only one I could find around here easily. The few times I've had it I wasn't able to detect any plastic flavor, even when warm. My guess is the lining is way more inert than the bottle, or that because the aluminum is blocking light, there's no ability for photodegradation of the liner to happen.
Nah, more like I can feel the side effects of hfcs more easily. I can still eat it and be fine, just have that plus a bit of indigestion.
In what situations would someone need to communicate they need help over video?

If the abuser is in the room a hand gesture would be quite dangerous and if they’re not voice could be used instead. In situations where the abuser is too close for verbal communication, surely text would be the next safest option?

Perhaps there are some situations where only video is available making this necessary, but I can’t think of any video conferencing software which doesn’t also support text messaging.

I’d be worried promoting this will either result in people trying to alert others and failing because of a lack of awareness, or people simply misinterpreting someone waving to say hi or bye as a call for help and wasting people time.

Your wife sounds smart. I appreciate her using her mind instead of giving into literally everyone and everything screaming at her to just get vaccinated.

Incredible how so many people feel so comfortable injecting some experimental fluid into their bodies just because the authority figure and the TV-man said so.

And they come in their high horses, saying "follow the science", "it is safe and effective". Making it super clear that they are just reading the titles or what the TV-man tells them the science says.

Because if they had read some of that science, they'd see that it is looking as clear as day that the vaccination is causing ADE and so much more and premise of having your cells exhibit spike proteins of its own so that you can develop immunity to it is a gun that we have jumped on without actually thinking about it.

But you know, it is easy to scream misinformation like others replying to post when the whole world is going to join the choir.

It is SUPER COMFY being on the wrong side of history. When all the large corporations and legacy media comes in to praise you and comfort you, that's how one one knows they are on the right side of history. Right?
Actually I've been doing it about a decade. Long enough to have had to make the judgement call to not change our site to fix performance regressions on Firefox because there weren't enough users to justify the cost a couple times.

It's okay; FF unbroke themselves in 2 revisions anyway. But if it'd been Chrome, fixing the site would have been our top priority.

Oh and I should add: outside of my house they have blocked one whole lane of the road from cars and designated it for cyclists. There was already a smaller bike lane. This new lane is now mostly empty and the remaining two lanes have traffic jams now with sirens all the time because emergency vehicles can't pass anymore. And I just think it's stupid and annoying. There was already a perfectly fine bike lane. There is also a tram. Why expand that bike lane now and cause traffic jams, I don't understand. Seems like it's just for virtue signalling, oh look how modern we are and such good people, when in practice it's barely used, not needed and cause traffic jams.

As a kid in the 70's growing up in Scotland we were given Lucozade (long before the "energy drink" fad) and quite often Ferguzade (a similar product but made in Scotland) when we were ill. Both had pretty odd tastes back then, almost salty if I remember.
