Ribbit achieves a 4K footprint, but that just means the size of the Ribbit VM plus the size of the compacted compiled code. The uncompacted code is stored in RAM in the form of linked "ribs" (3 cell objects, or 6/12/24 bytes depending on the word size) and this is not very memory efficient compared to a bytecode representation. So it takes on the order of 64K RAM to run the REPL, which is about 1000 lines of Scheme code. So a rule of thumb is about 64 bytes of RAM per line of Scheme code. You can use that ratio to determine how large of a Scheme program will fit on your specific device.

The Ribbit design is optimized for a setting where the program is communicated say over the Web before it is executed, so it is important to minimize the footprint = transfer time.

I doubt it. "I just want the government to leave me alone" is a common sentiment across the American political spectrum, sure, but when you drill down to specific issues you suddenly find that people are actually okay with or supportive of the government doing all kinds of stuff. People don't always tell the truth.

For an example on one issue I'm very familiar with: zoning. America tends to have hyper strict zoning, and the most ardent supporters of it tend to be those who very loudly are in favor of the free market and "against government intervention." It's just that, when it comes down to their principles vs their lifestyle, lifestyle wins.

If we're being pedantic, it's really a problem of degrees - any space-based optimization, like the padding and ordering of struct members, could cause a program to crash by running out of stack or heap. In that case, turning off (or on!) optimizations may cause a program to crash.

The assumption here is that women's products compete on price only. They do not. They compete on perceived need too. A pink razor, marketed to women, is assumed to be better for women rather than other razors. If it is or it's not is irrelevant. The assumption is that if it's made for women therefore it must be better for women irregardless of price as long as it's not extremely higher. Companies know this and they can charge a premium.

A tax is considered an additional cost that has no direct connection to the product being purchased. Is it a tax? Maybe not, since women get the perceived value of the product being a better fit for them. That's the benefit they pay for and it's part of the product. But there's no denying it. Women do pay extra for products that are essentially the same as the ones for men.

Try tilling 40 acres with a horse. Imagine getting sick, or giving birth.

We lived without cities, but with a vastly lower population and quality of life. Things like knowledge work and financialization are what made possible great ventures such as energy distribution, transportation, mechanized farming, medicines, and so forth. I'm not sure agriculture would even sustain the existing rural population without the infrastructure of a complex modern economy.

We're all in this together.
> Regarding lean protein, I'm also sure that protein gets broken down into glucose for fuel, and can be stored as such in fat.

Glycogenesis is certainly a thing. However every metabolic ward study I read found that there was never a glycogenesis -> lipogenesis pathway observed. Instead excess protein was discarded renaly.
Completely legal to ship, you just have to pay a hazmat fee which restricts how the box is shipped and a big label goes on the outside showing that it is ordinance. Similar to shipping a lithium battery has to be declared with a phone number to call.

This was over the Christmas-New Year period. There was a real risk of a shipment getting stuck in customs for days or possibly even weeks. An arriving passenger's luggage doesn't go through that same process. I mean it's obviously still checked by customs but it's done so immediately.
Back-to-fundamentals exercise for a recovering carouselist:

1. Write a short summary of every content phase, and initially just straight up list those summaries each linking to details[0].

2. As an improvement, consider if you want the user to click/tap to expand a point without leaving the page. Pay special attention to accessibility, tabindex, aria-describedby et al. as you do that.

3. At certain viewport sizes, you may put details to the side, and highlight the expanded point.

4. Then, as a final step, you could also cycle expanded points until first user input. Respect prefers reduced motion flag.

Voilà, you have a carousel but thought-through, accessible and purposeful.

[0] There is a natural limit on the number of points that can be shown. Make sure to be clear about the purpose of the widget. If a business is attempting to list more than 4–5 points, either there is a problem with focus or there are nearly non-overlapping audiences (e.g., seller/buyer) and resource should correspondingly be split into multiple entry points. These are aspects where design cannot be decoupled from business decisions.
Go ahead and source the data and we'll discuss it.
I grew up in a college town (3 small colleges, in an area with 40k people) and now live in a university town (30k people, state university).

You get the benefits of rural life, but your neighbors are more likely to be open minded and progressive, and you tend to get more culture, better schools and the restaurants are generally better.
This is actually rather clever. It's the internet equivalent of having a buddy pull you back in a brawl, as opposed to kicking you out.
> 2. The US begins importing most of its food from elsewhere

Gonna stop you there. This wouldn't happen, because the US has plenty of growing acreage and plenty of demand. The farming industry doesn't need subsidies, and removing them would affect total output only slightly on average.

Now, if we were more like Japan and had issues with enough space for farming, then yeah I'd agree with you.

The better comparison is the total risk after vaccination vs the total risk from infection without vaccination.

Given the infectiousness of the recent variants, it's reasonable to assume very high probability of eventual infection.

(Myocarditis appears to be the more common severe side effect of vaccination, even though it is still quite rare. Hospitalization rates from infection (a reasonable proxy for a severe infection) in the similar age groups are probably higher.)
"31 bits... is the widest range that can be guaranteed to be efficiently representable on all platforms."

I don't think the parent comment is getting bad comments in opposition because people aren't "clear-eyed about rural areas". I think it's more likely because the parent comment lists all of the attributes of urban areas in a positive tone and all the attributes of a rural area in a negative tone. I think most people are well balanced in their opinions on urban vs. rural life, and realize there are pros and cons to both. It would have been nice if the parent comment listed a well balanced opinion instead of a heavily one sided opinion.

And maybe I'm misinterpreting the parent comment as well and I feel like the comments about rural areas were negative because of my bias. That could be the case, but I'm inclined to believe that the parent comment was quite biased in favor of urban areas.
Does this stereotype of the front end dev who is more of a visual person and can't use a terminal even exist any more? If they do exist I've never encountered one in my 10 years as a dev. Most front end devs I've interacted with have the same background as any other developer and just prefer working in JS but would be comofortable working full stack.

It's a word of caution about rural areas. If you were cautioning someone about moving from a farm to the big city, you'd do the same thing with mostly listing negatives of big cities. I see this all the time in discussion of FAANG and the big tech hubs, people talking about the various downsides (which, to be sure, are many).

And if you look at the comments in response, a lot of them are obviously offended and throwing out misinformation and straw men. They're very bad comments from people either not thinking clearly or arguing disingenuously.

Cartoon HN thread :

[https://wilwheaton.tumblr.com/post/682281458145116160]
https://heyjackass.com/
I didn’t read the Netflix thread but here are a few topics tangentially related to Netflix which have the potential to spark interesting debates on HN:

* Netflix’s worker and labor policy: Being a FAANG it is inevitably interesting to tech workers how one of the big profile companies treads their workers. In a healthy class aware industry this should be a hot topic and indeed an issue in the culture war (as described by Marx himself a century and a half ago). Regardless, as a tech worker my self it is always interesting to see what other tech workers think about our current state of our working conditions.

* Netflix’s role in our entertainment: We are humans after all and like different things, we also like to talk about what we like and do not like. Netflix has been particularly brutal in cancelling loved media before the authors of said media had plans to write more (e.g. GLOW, Sense8, etc.) There are some media critics among us that surely has an interesting take on this, and other cultural critics which can go on about what this means in the broader context of our cultures.

* Netflix’s influence in the shift of how media is consumed: Being an early streaming platform it has inevitably had a huge influence in individualization and the platformization of media, for better or worse. Most HN users consume media and have felt this and have an opinion on this. There are a lot of amateur—and some professional—philosophers among us which like to share their take on the philosophy of consumerism. These takes can indeed be interesting.

Diggers fed the masses with ‘free’ as their mantra (2017)
In addition to avoiding the awfulness that is “The Algorithm”, the lack of filtering/recommendations and infinite scroll means that there are generally only 0-5 items interesting enough for me to waste time on. I find that HN is far more interesting than other sites, but because of that limitation, it’s a far less problematic source for procrastination.

Tesla bragged radar could bounce under the car ahead to react to the second car ahead stopping, even though the second ahead couldn't be seen. Removing radar was needed due to the electronic component shortage.
The new one (ExpressPCB Plus) is much nicer. At my workplace, being tied to their service is not a problem for me. I'm doing R&D, and need to spin up simple boards quickly, sometimes for no reason other than wanting to "break out" an IC with good enough layout so I can test its performance in a tame environment. Anything I make that threatens to go into a product gets handed over to the real engineers, who have full blown commercial tools.

And it's like the difference between programming and software development -- the latter involves a lot more moving parts and needs more sophisticated tools to manage all of them.

At home, I like to order simple boards from lower cost suppliers, so I've been using FreePCB, and that's what I'm mainly interested in upgrading.

I went from NAND2Tetris to Ben Eater, and I think that’s the right direction to take.

The first gives a great overview, and the latter deep dives into some of the architectural concerns around building computers (which are mostly ignored in the course), like understanding buses, running assembly on actual hardware. The most important bit for me was learning how to read data sheets to figure out how to use chips.
Using #000 would save the maximum power for any device with an OLED panels (like my laptop and my smart phone). Given that the idea is to keep a device on and some screens not being smart enough to understand this is an okay time to power down, #000 would be the only ethical color scheme to use. If you added a jitter to the placement of text over time, you could prevent possible burn in as well.

I set my Xbox dashboard on high contrast mode for aesthetic reasons and was surprised to see a good percentage of the few websites I visited adapted very well. Good to see how!
I think that's right. I found some envelopes at work with design documents for similar looking boards, and that's how they were made. Drawn on paper, laid out on clear film with tape and adhesive transfer pads, and photographically reduced for etching. One of the envelopes even includes a roll of punched paper tape, which I assume is the drill NC program. I've since re-created the boards in KiCAD, but I hung onto the old documents because they're such neat historical artifacts.
That rural areas are more conservative, less educated, poorer, and more religious on average, etc. is well known. I can provide the data if this is an earnest request, but I'm guessing you're already aware of these things, so I'm not sure what you're getting at here.

If someone is arguing against a generally well understood fact -- like, saying that North Korea is richer than the US -- it's on them to support it. They're not doing that here, because the facts aren't on their side.
This isn't as clear cut as you are making it. A lot of infrastructure haa pushed the price of food down. As prices go down, so do margins. Making a living as a farm hand has better margins without the interstate highway system for example.

The supposed "subsidies" to rural areas are the cost of creating the low prices which cities also reap a lot of benefit from. You in fact could not easily substitute rural monoculture for something else. Not at today's prices.
Yea I'd like to see that data too. I've seen that Myocarditis risk is higher with Covid than vaccine. The main downside I see is you're going to get Covid anyway so you're basically increasing your risk of Myocarditis once with vaccine and then again after catching it.

I once bought a band saw from Amazon with free shipping. (I didn't have Prime, it was just regular free shipping.) I could have bought it locally, but I didn't have a convenient way to get it home.

In my case, free shipping didn't turn out all that great; it was damaged when it got to me. Fortunately I was able to get free replacement parts from the company.

I suspect Amazon probably lost money on that deal since they had to hire specialty movers, but who knows?

In the US, the rate of Covid deaths in 18-29s is something like 10/100,000.

So if that is virtually no risk, so is 20 cases of myocarditis (that aren't all lethal) per 100,000.

(I used 6100 from https://www.statista.com/statistics/1191568/reported-deaths-... divided by 53 million to get 10/100,00).
That is one of the goals of the new KiCAD DRC system. I really hope it pans out, because it's a great idea and ought to reduce friction for designers.
> I've had friends who worked in the oil and gas industry. One story I was told was where parts were desperately needed to repair a drill bit on a gas platform. The best option? Someone would fly halfway around the world, drive to a particular factory, wait for the parts and then fly back.

This is normal in the IT industry. For high-value customers, vendors would be expected to fly in parts as needed. As just one example, I had a server flown in by a major reseller when the delivery service (UPS, IIRC) lost the original and the project was going to miss a critical deadline. HP's 6 hr CTR (call to repair) warranty guarantees your hardware will be restored within 6 hours of your call to support. It includes a local inventory of parts so that they can effectively replace the server if needed.

I could get behind all of those terms except the two above. A patch is not the copyrighted work of the original developer. It is a creation of the user. A license with these terms is usurping the copyright of the user on their modifications.

"All rights reserved" is as far right on the free-to-proprietary scale as I'm willing to go. I'm not ready to entertain additional restrictions added to those of copyright. If that makes me a raving ideologue, so be it.
