The question is what you have written in Lisp. My guess is very little? Anything used in production anywhere? Go on. It's OK to brag a little :)
I don't really know why anyone in their right mind would use emacs, but it isn't like it costs anything but a minuscule amount of disk space to keep it around, so who cares? The war is over now we must all ally against VSCode and any other web-browser-as-a-text-editor monstrosities. Except nano users, they don't get a vote.
They're still growing year-over-year. They were just off their target in the last quarter by 3%. They're valued at $3.67 per share versus the $3.78 expected. Their stock literally dropped ~25% because they were only 3% off expected earnings. And lost 0.15% active users, which is expected as the world opens up again. I don't see what the big deal is. The market is overreacting.
> because I refuse to take an experimental vaccine.

You might elicit sympathy for your plight if you had lab confirmed robust preexisting natural immunity which was being ignored, or you were a young man at great risk of myo/pericarditis, or severely allergic to vaccine ingredients. However, as you merely stated an obvious falsehood, that the vaccines are experimental, you get no sympathy from me. What do you think you’re going to discover that the ~100,000 phase I-III test subjects and billions of people who already got vaccinated haven’t already discovered?
Guilt by association. I won't touch it. Sooner or later all that usage data would be used to manipulate me.

No, this is at one part of the most fundamental core terrestrial portion of the internet, how ISPs talk to each other.
There are plenty of parallels with what happened with Snapchat Stories, but I do wonder if it's the "same thing".

Stories are best when created by people you know, and they're easy to create too. They're the type of content that would build off of Instagram's social strengths.

The type of content people consume on TikTok, as far as I understand, is largely made by creators though. This is similar to YouTube; they now even get financial compensation directly for it too [1] (although apparently this compensation is not as good as YouTube's).

This could be a Snapchat vs Instagram Stories situation, or it could be a YouTube vs Facebook Watch / IGTV situation. Facebook has historically been notoriously bad at creating a high-quality video platform, so if that's what it takes to beat TikTok I honestly wouldn't expect Instagram Reels to overtake TikTok anytime soon, especially considering a lot of what I've seen there are random accounts reposting TikTok content (which feels a bit like the type of content Watch became infamous for).

So it went from 'these claims are outrageous' to they wouldn't hold up in a court of law? You're a facebook shill and you're embarrassing yourself. You're not fighting misinformation, you are the disinformation campaign.
I just compared DejaVu Serif, Charis SIL, Linux Libertine and Liberation serif by pasting some sample text into libre-office, setting them so the widths were roughly equal and printing.

DejaVu was the clear loser; in many words an "l" and "i" would be much closer to one of the two neighboring characters.

I actually liked Charis SIL the best, but the others were fine.
I eventually had to delete my Facebook, but I also did what the parent said, but my feed was primarily suggested content, which was mostly videos, and occasionally it would throw in Fox news, or one of the alt-right shills. I think this content is driven by who you're connected to, and I think it ignores your mutes. I have a lot of friends and family in Louisiana. I've lost friends to QAnon.

So, yeah, if we're going with anecdata, then my experience doesn't match yours, even with this approach of trying to highly curate it.
I worked deep in the mortgage backed security industry for a decade before the financial crisis and for some years since. I know a lot about it, and some big events firsthand. I find that people are interested in my thoughts on the causes until they hear them: while there were some really bad actors at the margins, the bulk of the crisis was caused by many, many people making good-faith, rational decisions which in hindsight proved foolish.

Of course I could be wrong — consciously or unconsciously I could simply be voicing my own bias. But I think at some level people prefer a simple narrative with a hero and a villain regardless of whether the narrative is true.

I used facebook for a brief period only because I was trying to sell some stuff on the marketplace. That being said marketplace is a crapshoot most of the time it seems so it ended up not working out. Every time I visited that cesspool of a website I regretted it immediately.

You literally have zero idea what you are talking about.

The location options for wifi or not, are in android settings, part of system wide settings.

No change to google maps will make this setting disappear. It is not an extra control google maps can drop.

Your entire UI tact us baseless, and makes zero sense.

You're been spreading misinformation and misconceptions through this entire thread.

Can you at least argue with facts?
They disrupted reddit to the core and got the ceo fired. The hijacking of “freedom of speech” in order to sustain a fascist movement was about the most bullshit thing ever and it nearly ruined reddit for good.
If you are wondering what this is all about and if this is better than Atom, this sentence from the first comment explains it pretty well:

Really? What do you think of as misinformation about Facebook?
I made no claims to be an expert in Lisp.
What a jarring read.

After 20 paragraphs and the 3 ads that made it past ublock, the article comes to it's titular point that Google bought a company in 2010 which had designed a UI based on a physical desk.

The video of the UI is incredibly uncompelling and reminds me of Microsoft Bob.
Cool that they're still doing this.

IIRC it was in a trial period pre-pandemic. The impression I got was that they wanted to test a 4-day week, but worried it would be disruptive if only one or two team members were out on Fridays. Hence, 4-day teams.

Amazon gets a bad rap, but it can be a nice place to work as a developer. The overtime and pressure varies wildly from team to team, and you'd have to figure that people who choose to join a 4/3 team aren't the sort to press deadlines.

This listing looks like it is for a position which supports their internal developers and/or retail site. Those systems are probably fairly mature, so maybe it's a good business move to hire people to keep them running on a slow burn with better work/life balance.
Agreed. I was looking at them even before this dip. They are valued so low that even if they simply maintain current earnings relative to inflation they are an OK investment.
Same with SolarCity, too.

Users love settings for things they care about… and abhor and ignore settings on things they don’t care about.

Better get your defaults right. That is: don’t force your users to answer questions they don’t know the answer to.

Also, partition your settings by user concern… that is, don’t confront your users with a bunch of questions they don’t understand or care about (even if the defaults are right).

You have to compare that to the equivalent of the float in stocks. Most crypto holdings are not that liquid and come from early backers. If the big holders (mostly pump and dump) sell, the market will collapse.
Dunning Kruger isn’t particularly valid anywhere, but even if it were, you should re-read the paper because it demonstrates that people more confident in their abilities are statistically more competent; the correlation is positive. Other papers have shown reversals and/or demonstrated difficult tasks don’t exhibit the so-called DK effect. Nobody remembers the attempts to reproduce, no wonder science has a replication crisis.

This is a good article about it explaining why the effects Dunning & Kruger measured are probably regression to the mean: https://www.talyarkoni.org/blog/2010/07/07/what-the-dunning-...

BTW, the sample size in the DK paper was tiny, it was voluntary, and it measured only Cornell undergrads (no participants were actually “incompetent” in a meaningful way). The authors were barely out of undergrad themselves at the time. The survey didn’t have people rate themselves, it had people rank themselves against other people they don’t know (think about this!). The tasks were extremely simple, like getting a joke (seriously! no discussion in the paper of what the actual joke(s) were) and basic English grammar (no mention of how many ESL participants there might have been). So many methodological red flags in the DK paper, and so many counter-examples immediately after it, it’s really truly astounding that it caught on.

Apologies for unloading, but I’m hoping to help educate and make a dent in the casual mentions of DK because it’s so widely and completely misunderstood and also because it’s such bad science, it needs to be revealed as a bad example and not used for it’s non-existent explanatory powers.
Good default settings and good auto-tuning functions are welcome.

The cars are delivered with handbrakes on, wrapped in with wrapping paper/red ribbon. Some people do not realize they need to release the handbrakes and remove the wrapping paper. They are driving for years with default settings, wondering why the mileage is bad and it smells like burned brake pads.

I'm not a huge fan of Twiggy, but happy to see him take this on.

Its ridiculous that a private citizen has to take this up and that law enforcement won't step up and enforce whatever laws we have that would prevent fraudulent ads anywhere else.
I've added my email to my profile.

Here are some of my big takeaways after just a few months:

- Hardwood is expensive. Very expensive. I get most my wood out of the scrap box and use that to practice techniques (bow tie inlays, dovetails, veneer making, epoxy, live edges).

- Quality tools are expensive. Very expensive. Even hand tools can easily be over $100 for a single chisel or rasp. Hand planes and hand saws will start at over $200 often times.

- The work is very rewarding.

- The people are very helpful. I reached out to a furniture maker on YouTube I've been enjoying and asked if I could come work and learn with him for a couple weekends and they were onboard.

- There are co-working spaces with full wood and metal shops. I belong to one and I'm there most weekdays for a few hours, but most of the others are running 1-3 person companies making quality furniture and art. It's great to be around. $200 a month for table saws, drill presses, band saws, planers, jointers, spindle/edge/disc/widebelt sanders, 10'x5' CNC.

- Community colleges and local woodworking associations offer lots of classes on a variety of topics and techniques. I took an initial five day course where I made a cutting board and stool. Since then I've taken a lathe classes and I have a measuring and marking class and a shaker tray class next week.

- Buy the SawStop.
Seeing cryptocurrencies grow so much over the last few years, it seems to me that without governance over cryptocurrency transactions, cryptocurrencies tend to incentivize scams and black market trading, and they tend to function as speculation/gambling schemes. "Shilling" is common among everyone I know that has purchased cryptocurrencies, and many of them have been ruining friendships over it.

I used to be more optimistic, but I can't help but see cryptocurrencies as a strong negative on society now.

It's pretty wild cryptocurrencies are still legal in many parts of the world.
Facebook succeeded because it made money, which is the primary objective of for-profit companies. The government (and people) represent the interests of the people, usually.
TikTok, for it's many faults, is at least not ragebait farming. It is distracting junk. Facebook feels more malicious in my mind.
It is physically impossible for anyone to express all facts in finite time. Every expression is, at best, a selection among the facts of that which is adjudged relevant. Legislating what would be relevant in every situation is likewise impossible.

Demonstrating that a fact is omitted with dishonest intent is tricky business. That doesn't mean we can't guess, but the law does not go by guesses.
The last time the US government got involved in bank bailouts (TARP), the government made a profit of something like $15 bill or so...
I think the problem here is that the world has moved on a lot since some of us kids were amazed at what we could make machines like an AppleII do with basic (and assembler and peek and poke).

I remember being amazingly proud of myself for getting an ascii version of Space Invaders working. I could, as a 10 or 12 year old, make something for myself that kinda looked like and was way more fun (for me) to play that _literally_ the most desirable and sophisticated "computer game" there was at the time.

I talk to a friend's 11 year old occasionally about "computer stuff", and he plays Fortnight and Roblox - and he just can't see a connection between simple child oriented computer programming, and Fortnight, which is what he would rather be playing than futzing around in Scratch (or even Minecraft).

I genuinely don't think many kids these days want t6o spend time playing with there LOGO Turtle, when they could be playing multiplayer games on their phone or iPad instead.

(And, to be fair, _most_ of the kids when I was in school just wanted to play Space Invader clones and not write Basic programs, I did most of my Basic programming in junior high on a BBC Micro, because there were not games on pirated floppy disks, which was what the AppleIIs were all in demand for. I suspect today it'll still only be a half dozen or so kids out of a school of 6 or 800 who _want_ to program computers, same as it was in '79 and '80. The rest of them will just want to play games not learn how to do magic...)

If you wanna give your kids the opportunity, I s3econd cons's suggestion of a RaspberryPi400. Add a spare HDMI monitor and you're got "the spiritual equivalent" of an AppleII. Don't get your hopes up _too_ high about your kids being the maybe 1% of people who choose to program for fun.
My Toyota has no LCD screen visible. Instead they makes the backup camera screen behind a partially silvered section of the rear view mirror. It’s quite nice. Not as big and bright as others but gets the job done and is super discreet.

I'm not from a bio-science area but AFAIK mRNA vaccines are robust.

1. The same mechanism of deliver is used so it's already tested and know to be safe/effective.

2. It replicates the same protein(s) found on the virus. So it will not due more damage than getting the virus and it will have a high probability of being effective.
Exactly why I came to the comments. Tbh, the "idea" of flubber is pretty futuristic. Imagine shoes that can bounce/return your running impact which could improve your speed by some real significant factor.

I think renaming was a massive strategic mistake. The metaverse, even if it succeeds from a technical standpoint, will need to be deemed 'cool' for people to adopt it. And generally, if you have something cool, you don't prematurely blurt it out to the rest of the world.

Most melatonin tablets are available in 3 mg formulation. What sort of microtome are you using for dosing?
Microbugs always look like that. Weird stuff pops out of our brains when transcribing ideas about rules into logic. The overwhelming majority of such thinkos are clearly wrong and don't work, or often even build. And sometimes you get bugs that take a while to find because the case where it would fail is an untested edge case.

And then, once in a while, one of those edge cases...
Portland, Oregon (of all places) has an old nickname of "Stumptown' because they cut all the trees down for buildings, sidewalks/roads over the mud, ships, etc.

Not that you'd be able to tell by looking at it these days. Forest Park is one of the largest urban forests on the planet.
Agree. Very hard for regulators (=protect the consumer) to keep up with it. I compare that to the massive fires we have in California, so big that only the rain coming in November saves the bacon.

That's not a solution in the cases when those people, are using the platform to gather a group of angry people and then will go and kill you and your family and those who look like you.

Now, I'm guessing this isn't a problem in _your_ case -- but it is, for some others (see e.g. FB and Myanmar, or WhatsApp lynch mobs).

Another problem is when the one's you don't want to hear, are spreading propaganda supporting a want-to-be-dictaor. And then eventually they succeed, because those who didn't like the dictator, just ignored them (let them spread the propaganda unhindered). -- What's the likelihood that the US is still a democracy in 30 years.

I use FB all the time and it’s great. I subscribe to a few heavily moderated groups for my city that are full of genuinely helpful and productive posts. It’s where I find out what’s going on here.

It's not actually the fed who does it. It's the FDIC, which is a different entity. The FDIC's money comes from... banks. Technically the FDIC is backed by the US Government and has a credit line with the US Treasury, but they seem to get along fine with the money they collect from banks.
Are you planning on supporting importing the proto .bin format that stores file descriptors? This is the output of the proto compiler and would make it easier to provide a full transitive closure of deps for people who have complex build phases.

A lot of modern movies feel like slightly higher budget TV shows. There’s still some truly great stuff, but oftentimes I’m wondering where the 200 million dollars went. I feel like movies are increasingly being made for a TV screen and streaming services, so a lot of the grandiose nature of older movies is fading.
