N == 1, but when I eat in certain way (lots of veg + fruit, reduce white bread and pastry, no caloric drinks), my body stays the same weight, as measured by clothing size, without any further conscious effort.

I suspect that this is the way how our ancestors in the 1950s-1970s stayed slim (at least compared to us) without calorie counting or even knowing what calories were, even though they held white collar jobs too. Body tries to find an in/out equilibrium, and ultra processed foods disrupt this process.

Take any photo of an engineering or academic team from that period and compare it to a photo of people doing similar jobs today. A massive difference in size, though the job's physical demands aren't that different.
> social justice [...] Marxists

How did you get from Social Justice to Marxism? Those are two different ideologies with different goals and little overlap, except that both require strong, authoritarian states to achieve their agendas.
Feel free to continue using X11 of course, no one's forcing anybody to switch. That said:

> Does upstream Wayland work on any platform except for Linux?

Yes, FreeBSD. Patches welcome to make it work on other BSDs.

> Does this display server have any form of colour management for, you know, the stuff it's displaying?

No more than X11 right now, ie. none. But it's in the works.
While it's supposed to be "maintenance only", it got a very important addition recently (but not a definitive solution by any means) that helps with dreaded multiscreen setups, AsyncFlipSecondaries.
I think shrooms/psilocybin are a loss in general, and I'm really sad that they're so unfairly heavily regulated.
> The assertion is that rent seekers are "leeches", providing no value, while extracting value for themselves. It's very hard to prove the existence of a negative. That's the context. Note that no one said "cheating", that's context you read in yourself.

You wouldn't be proving a negative. The assertion is that doing so (extracting value without providing any) is bad requires that bad thing to be stated. It's bad because opportunity cost, it's bad because people have to exchange currency for goods or services, it's bad because houses being in possession of money is itself immoral. These aren't negatives that need to be proved. As for cheating, what should I call acting so that others don't get a chance to participate?

> It's interesting that you haven't made a single attempt to provide an actual counterpoint of your own, of what value rent seekers actually provide, especially since you're complaining that no one else is explaining their position. "No one" attempts to explain, including yourself?

I don't have an assertion I want to make. Nothing other than to point out the problematic rhetoric. As an example, pointing out that 2+2=6 is invalid, or unconvincing because if you only have 1,2 and another for 3,4 can't reach 6. Does contribute, because the assertion that 2+2=6 is bad to leave unchallenged. Just like me making an assertion that 2+2=5 which would also be wrong. I don't know enough about the housing market in CA to make an any argument I'd want to stand behind. But I'm willing to say, just owning and renting property isn't enough to call them malicious, leaches, nor shitty.
I would be interested to know more about this, because I've seen people say (on forums, I've not been involved directly with heroin use or users), that fentanyl is pretty evil stuff, and it's commonly reported by them as something that's sold as heroin to the unsuspecting addict.

Dealers pass it off because it's easier and cheaper to get, because suppliers find it easier to move. I've never heard of users deliberately going after it.
I don't know about a tutorial, but I learned a lot from the xvfb and xvnc code.

I think people replying to you think you agree with these things.
Well it doesn't rely on using a giant buffer for multiple monitors so it supports hidpi scaling. Have you ever tried hidpi on xorg? It's a mess, even on Ubuntu where they tried their best to clean it up. The xorg apps from the compatibility layer still suffer from it, probably until they update to Wayland.

Sidenote: Google tried to use xorg for ChromeOS and ended up writing their own UI system for hidpi scaling among other things when it didn't work

Some relevant links for those curious about other people hitting into this:

I could say similar things the other way around, but that doesn't make sense as a way to think about this ways of being.

People used to one way or another from childhood don't really recognize any drawbacks to their way of thinking or not.

Xorg barely works on nvidia (source: me)
vsync requires a compositor to work, and even picom needs a very specific combination of flags to get vsync to work.
Chromium cannot gpu accelerate video playback.
On rolling release distros, most major kernel updates leave your system broken, because nvidias out-of-tree driver can't build against new kernel versions.
If nvidia stops supporting your old gpu, like they just did with Kepler, you're screwed.

The problem with nvidia on linux isn't wayland, it's nvidia.
No, it's not. Minecraft is just a single game. If you could teleport between Second Life and Minecraft, then we could start talking about multiverse.

This is a brilliant comment, and despite it doesn't answer or address every question or concerns, it points our brain to an interesting direction of thought.
If the problem was really just the quality of headsets, you'd expect some dose-response relationship, I think. Headsets may not be good enough, but they're much better than they used to be, so you'd expect SOME stable growth in using it for shared environments Second Life style.

But that hasn't happened. I'm thinking the problem isn't lack of good VR, it's that a truly shared metaverse isn't really something we want.

We want our own spaces. We want to have the option to just "watch", to be invisible to the world we're exploring (or to lurk, in forum/chat terms).

When even better VR comes, I think it will be used for far more solitary activities than social ones. We do see some hints of a dose-response relationship there, with reasonably popular VR games like Half Life Alyx.

Really interesting in this thread about how so many see images or hear voices. I always have strong threads of music, always available at any moment. I bet all musicians have this. I used to wish when I was a child that I could jack my brain to a stereo system for instant playback and bypass the effort of writing things down.

I moved to and have been living in an EM country for ~6 years and tell my wife (whose from the EM country) something like this occasionally: "If the leaders want to adapt "green" policies uber alles, they'll be hanged in the street with their friends and families faster than takes for their doomsday predictions to come into fruition than the current status quo of slow progress. If they really want people to adapt "better" solutions, they would need to make them cheaper and more accessible than what exists today".

I'd argue the same is true for even DM countries who have populations that have grown to expect even more…

US ports are highly inefficient. They don't work 24/7. That's rather unique. Same for how the terminal is organized.

I'd suggest checking Felixstowe. Various years ago they were quick. They changed their terminal system. After that they were utterly slow (still are). Due to UK importing way more than what they export, Felixstowe always has way more empties going back than full containers.

However, Felixstowe works 24/7, plus they apply pressure on shipping lines the various times they are overwhelmed with empties.
Afaik the Steam Deck will use KWinFT, so if Valve is willing to bet on it, I don't think it's such a fringe project.
The DFAM is a unique design, that's it. The interplay of the components is its innovation (how the envelopes are normalised to the sequencer, etc.) Behringer copied it, while it's in production by Moog, it's an asshole move.

Just like it's an asshole move to clone the Arturia Keystep, a pretty simple and accessible MIDI controller costing around US$ 100. Why would Behringer clone it except for being an immoral company?

Cloning designs on synth world is a big no-no if the original is still in production.

I really don't get how you can defend Uli Behringer's schenanigans, he has had a lot of them.

This hand waving of a practice that is extremely frowned upon in the synth subculture is very off putting. Even more when I read with this techy-talk about "innovation", give me a break... Uli Behringer is an asshole, a narcissistic one.
I fully agree (and thanks for the idiomatic let bracket ordering correction). But the fact that terribly hacks like this are nonetheless adopted shows how much of a pain the paren clutter is and that claims to the contrary are pure cope.
Is there a way to get a sense of when the IPO will actually take place?
Using [] for syntax like Clojure does is kind of weird and not too consistent IMO. As for data structures, CL has vectors (and more complex arrays), with #() as a literal syntax or my preference just the function (vector ...). But beyond that, CL is just not nearly as opinionated as other languages. You are free to define a function named [] as a wrapper around aref, if you wanted to write things like ([] array index), or you can define a reader macro that uses [ or ] and use them to implement whatever syntactic sugar you desire. That might be as an alternative to #() for vector literals and similar to Clojure, or something that mixes in commas and is more similar to JSON (https://gist.github.com/chaitanyagupta/9324402), or it could be to use them as syntax where you'd usually use ()s, or as some lambda shorthand e.g. [* _ 10] as shorthand for (lambda (_) (* _ 10)), or as sugar to wrap a special text type (e.g. [hello world] produces an object that wraps the string "hello world"), or to have List Comprehensions e.g. this paper from 1991: https://3e8.org/pub/scheme/doc/lisp-pointers/v4i2/p16-lapalm... whose code (that still works) in figure 2 + the bits right after to the set-macro-character calls lets you write things like [x (x <- xs) (oddp x)] to filter out odds, or [(* x x) (x <- xs)] to get squares, and you can do things with multiple lists. Or something else. Ultimately, it comes back to CL letting you do what you want.
I find it astonishing that nowadays an unpolished product can go to IPO.
For such a dramatic page-loading difference, I wonder if your Mac is using a not very good DNS that Firefox is avoiding because it defaults to DNS over HTTPS.
By your logic British colonization of India will also not hold.

Indian Muslims are the ones who created Pakistan, they continue to have separate civil laws that allows a man upto 4 wives. And if you are not aware what is labeled "Hindu law" was originally framed as common law by the British but only applied on Hindus, as the others would not accept it.

Indian Muslims continue to name their children after mass murderers of Hindus, people like Timur or Aurangazeb who had slaughtered millions.

As a child, and as an Indian from the south, my history text books well filled with Islamic kings and "Islamic" monuments but very little about the chollas or Vijayanagara or Pandiyas and Pallavas.

Unlike in the north where almost all ancient temples have been destroyed or converted into mosques or appropriated like the qutib minhar. In the south we still have the grand temples standing and we are aware of how much destruction the islamist must have wrought on their people.

Debunked as bad science fairly quickly, but, Sodom & Gomorrah being destroyed by a meteor aeroburst is less in the realm of science fiction but a good example of how a natural catastrophe can be retold as folklore and integrated into religious text. IIRC the flood is another one of those that is retold in a wide number of texts/cultures and had scientific evidence behind it? Last one I'm not sure about now.
As you get older, nature will prompt you to take frequent breaks. Other than those, I'm good for the 3 hours that google kickstart rounds take. I've always assumed you could get 4 really focused hours per day, and the rest would be admin, or non-focused work.
The harms you describe could also be put down to it being illegal.

I am not saying that’s the only difference. I agree heroin is obviously far more powerful a drug, and far more addictive. So I don’t think it should be fully legalised and sold in shops. But making it legal for addicts to use under medical supervision in special licensed places seems a sensible compromise. It would probably scale down the black market (which reduces drug pushing on new users), it would reduce immediate dangers (heroin is pretty safe when administered properly in a clean environment), and it would probably help addicts get off it and build a new life (it would remove a lot of the chaos from their lives and would expose them to drug counsellors).
The answer often is "what is good for employees is good for the business". This is a known recipee for success that rarely gets implemented because of greed and shortsightedness

It's also true that "what is good for the business is good for employees". So it's a two-way street that needs to be walked by honest employees and empoyers. Not possible in toxic cultures. So it's important to keep the toxic employees and managers (even shareholders!) out. This is what hiring should mostly focus on (not sure on how to keep toxic shareholders out, and businesses often rot from their heads down because of this)
Personally, my inner voice doesn’t narrate; it only makes logical arguments or explanations. But it does occasionally seem to ‘go on autopilot’: my conscious focus is on some pressing but mindless task, and then I catch my inner voice in the middle of explaining some random trivial thing.

At other times, when I’m in a relaxed and unfocused state, particularly in the shower, my inner voice goes in circles and explains the same thing over and over. This tends to happen when I find an explanation really logically satisfying or interesting. This is perhaps a less interesting situation than the last one, because going through an argument repeatedly to understand it better is probably something that everyone does. But when it goes in circles too many times, I get sick of the topic, and there’s a distinct sense of “will you just shut up already”. Then I have to actively come up with something else to think about.

In both situations, my inner voice is becoming slightly intrusive, acting like a distinct entity from my conscious focus; and it always comes in the form of words even if I’m not actively seeking words. I think that goes beyond just “do I know the words for what I’m thinking”.
My inner voice helps me tremendously while working on a proof or an algorithm: I say the individual steps in my head and then I remember them better. I can even do this with writing blog posts, but then when I get to the keyboard I still know the gist but not the precise phrasing, which is a shame since the original phrasing sounded so good in my head. Does anyone have a solution for that?

Scheme reports lag, though. They usually codify what existing Scheme compiler/interpreters are already doing. I know I've seen plenty of Scheme code in the wild using square brackets interchangeably long before R6RS came out. You can even see the rationale behind this in the Scheme FAQ on Scheme Wiki, which seems to not have been updated since R5RS was current [1]

Edit: oh yeah, I didn't close my eyes, sorry. I just thought about it as I was reading and the image flashed for an immeasurable time unit multiple times each time I gave it a bit of thought.

It's extremely easy for me to just, almost like daydreaming, to have my vision darken and have my minds eye take over for microseconds for me to picture things. Guess like built in AR.

My inner voice is also incredibly controllable and more than just a voice. It's just a playback device at this point. Whatever I want i can make it audible.
It couldn't have been atomic war, because traces would still be found of nuclear fallout, like how they look for steel from pre-ww2 shipwrecks now because they're not contaminated by trace radiation. But who knows? Maybe it was a vision of the future?

It looks like you're right for the most part. Literals are supported if you use https://github.com/vseloved/rutils. If your cl-edn actually works then a combo of rutils and cl-edn could bring most of the value I found in clojure to common lisp.

I disagree. The only limit to power consumption should be the practicality of cooling

Power is too expensive in 2021 when it should have been too cheap to meter (tm).

Plenty of people care about mobile, so I don't have to.

There is plenty incentive to reduce power (cooling practicality included) in the mobile space, and this is good, but shouldn't take focus away from achieving higher performance on stationary and server PCs.

There is a natural balance between power consumption and performance, and it bends to either side depending on target market, but they do drive each other.
The problem domain here involved getting a private key on a user's machine, and a public key in a location it can be pulled from to grant access.

Your proposed solution, as correctly pointed out in stack overflow, is a security nightmare.

> I should point out here that passing private keys around is generally a bad idea and you'd be much better having developers create their own key pairs and provide you with the public key that you (or them) can use to generate an AWS key pair
Ah, of course, there would be a delay. Would a lag of several years be common, or could be much shorter / longer?
> What if the money you buy the properties with is a result of your contributions?

This isn't math. Prior "good" contributions to society don't even out "bad" contributions, no matter how we define them. To put an extreme example, you're not allowed to steal from anyone no matter how many people you helped recover their money from scams.

> What is the optimal path to reap rewards of my contributions?

It's very easy: do not speculate with human rights. When you buy a house for "investment", you are adding demand to the market, pushing prices up. Housing is inelastic, specially in the short term, so you're probably driving someone that needed a place to live out of the market, just for what? To sell it later for a higher price, driving prices further up? To rent it to people that need a place to leave, making it so that they lose wealth to you instead of owning it?

There's no need to delve into deep philosophical discussions of what is right and wrong, what is fair and isn't, and what did the communists do. The discussion is simple: don't speculate with housing.
Don't stop there. This is what I'd like to know by zipcode as well. What's the best time to charge my wife's Tesla, run large appliances, or GPU workloads in my garage. I bet there are a lot of consumer workloads that could easily be "shifted", and in some states that'd probably have non-trivial CO2 savings.
If the terminal is really slow the first thing a shipping like will leave behind is empty containers. US terminals are dead slow and often do not work 24/7. Their union is unique, it seems to be a show of power instead of making sensible decisions.

There's a huge backlog of vessels that need to be handled. Usually you have space on the vessel to bring back the empties, normally the reason not to do that is if it takes too much time to bring them on board (terminal is slow or vessel was late). If it was due to too many vessels it could've been solved by sending a vessel purely for empties. But there's a huge backlog in vessels to be handled. Productivity increases usually take quite a while to materialize.
