> The left looks a lot like a typical AST for many languages....

Right, and this is what's meant by the oft-repeated statement "LISP has no syntax." Of course it has syntax in the sense that if you were to go in and delete one of those parens, the whole thing wouldn't compile, but the syntax it does have is 100% regular.
It's going to be very difficult for some people to admit that they made such an obvious mistake.
When flying with Ryanair you're bombarded with ads - from car hire, to package holidays in hotels, to meal bundles and even scratch cards (!!)

All the products/services are Ryanair branded mind but it's still quite full-on.
Wireplumber stores volume settings in ~/.local/state/wireplumber/. It is not a DE thing. I use i3. I have a separate mic and it remembers the volume.
If you were standing at the entrance of a grand amusement park, would you feel despair that you have to choose which ride to take or excitement at having options? If the park were fantastically more grand, so you have no hope of sampling every amusement, does this somehow change your response? Your emotional valence here is your choice, not something intrinsic to the setting. That is what those cognitive behavioral therapists are trying to help with. But, they have to come up with some actionable instruction to convey it to us. I think you are arguing against the chosen rhetorical device rather than an actual principle.

Whether it is rarefied academic pursuits, music and arts appreciation, friendships, love, delicious food, sex, or ... we have to decline a world of countless possibilities to engage what is in front of us. And even then, we need rest periods in order to fully appreciate those rare few branches we do take. You can't enjoy or pursue anything 24x7. The nature of our experience is inexorably tied to the exclusion of other non-experiences.

In other words, life is a constant stream of decisions and branching points. The underlying angst of "not enough lifetime" is rooted, I think, in grief for these other paths not taken, for the loss of imagined alternatives. This is supported by the delusional idea that we could defer and return to every branch (given enough time). It ignores the ephemeral and limited nature of most opportunities and potential experiences, the necessity of closing one door to open another, and that most doors are never open to us (individually) to begin with.

You wouldn't just need a hundred lives or a thousand years but some kind of combinatoric explosion of a Multiverse You, where you could explore every choice of collapsing decision point. But what does that even mean? I think it's another delusion about identity and the self to think that "you" can experience the different paths. You'd be many someones else. If you could somehow fuse them together into an experience, you've just added some kind of sci-fi "hive mind" to your experience. But wouldn't you wish you could have experienced those things as an individual...?

To get stuck with this frustration is a failure to mourn. A failure to accept a finite life and get on with it. That leaves the grief stuck in the back of the mind. This is where philosophers of mind might tell you about desires as the source of suffering, etc. Where practitioners might propose moderation or the so-called middle path. Where the CBT folks might say you are on the path so you might as well learn to enjoy it, and offer a grab bag of tricks to help achieve that.
Nobody was advocating for dismantling the justice system.

Social media specifically lends itself to widespread and high frequency libel, fraud, threats, and other illegal acts. What "material world" information manages to do so at a similar rate?
You can't put it at the side, the cable will interfere with the keyborad or the laptop that is on the left and won't work at all for the left handed people.

I mean, if you really think that charging a few minutes a day or leave it charging overnight once a month is a deal breaker, simply don't buy it but this is not a bad design. It is very unrealistic to expect that the mouse will be used 24/7 every day forever. If you have this use case of using mouse 24/7 everyday, this must be some kind of industrial operation and obviously this mouse is not for you but for everyone else it's a non-issue.
>Im not sure you read or understand the links correctly so let me clarify.

I did in fact.

That is literally, LITERALLY the whole point of if they are "flaunting rules" or not. You said they were flaunting rules. According to those links you posted, it turns out they are not flaunting the rules. Your statement is false, your language imprecise. These things matter.

Were their actions distasteful? Sure. But they were in accordance with the rules.

The Germany's invasion of Poland in 1939 was heavily reliant on German air power, and not mentioned here is that a critical airplane fuel additive - 500 tons of tetraethyl lead - was at the time supplied by US Standard Oil via their partnership with German IG Farben.

The Standard Oil - IG Farben partnership of the 1930s revolved around their control of synthetic rubber and fuel oil patents (the Buna rubber process, and Fischer-Tropsch liquid fuel synthesis from coal). The 1930s East Texas oil discoveries caused Standard oil to lose interest in synthetic oil from coal, but Standard Oil's sales of fuel to the Nazi regime various various channels seem to have continued at some level until the 1942 Trading With The Enemy Act.

Some of this hisotry is detailed in Daneil Yergin's "The Prize", i.e. this chapter:

I was going to give them the benefit of the doubt since it was anecdotal, but when he got to the "bugs in ad-blockers" explanation, the bullshit was spread a bit to thick for someone innocent.

The compute chip market is much, much bigger than just laptops, iPhones and MacBooks. Like I said, it' also servers, FPGAs, cloud, datacenters, consoles, GPUs, AI-ML, cars, vision, etc. and Apple's silicone is absent form most of those sectors while these are Nvidia's, Intel and AMD's bread and butter. So comparing a chip that can only be found in Apple laptops to chips from Intel and AMD that are sold and used in hundreds of other industries and thousands of different devices is completely pointless as they're not competing in the same sectors.

When Apple will sell its chips to consumers, PC OEMs, datacenters, console manufacturers, AI and car companies, with full documentation and Linux support, in order to compete on the same turf with Intel and AMD, then we can talk about an industry wide revolution. But until then, this "revolution" will not extend beyond the Apple/Mac ecosystem where Apple has no competitors, and who's market share in the general PC space is still tiny.
Make a layer that isn’t visible with “opacity: 0” that sits in front of the visible text. A user copies the invisible text instead.

Or conversely, make the visible text “pointer-events: none” and it sits in front of the dangerous text.
Delphi's FireMonkey is in many ways similar to WPF in the way you can manipulate UI elements, except all the fluff and cruft WPF/XAML has. On the plus side, FireMonkey is multi platform too.

VCL is still the tried and tested UI framework for Windows only applications though, nothing beats its flexibility.
> I thought that privileging the first argument of a function, which is all that separates a method from a function, was understood to be an ugly hack. I thought that this was acknowledged now, and only legacy languages are stuck with it. Julia, Rust and Go don't do this. So it's going out of fashion and becoming legacy. [emphasis added]

What?

Go has methods which "privilege" the first argument to functions:

https://go.dev/tour/methods/1

func (v Vertex) Abs() float64 {
return math.Sqrt(v.X*v.X + v.Y*v.Y)
}

Though it moves the argument out of the argument list and between the func keyword and method name.

Rust also has a notion of methods:

>"...however mac os remain the best dekstop OS..."

I would say this is a matter of opinion.
But how to backup the download from the switch? Or put the account on Emulator then archive from there? I've got more searching to do.
So wish they would decouple SwiftUI from the OS releases and opensource it!

>when you do the same in other languages you get...

Your result should be unsurprising. Lisps have a minimal syntax that naturally entails high levels of nesting: (s-)expressions being used to represent functions, control structures, data, etc.

Why should a particular style convention appropriate for that kind of language necessarily transplant well to JavaScript-- a brace-delimited, Algol-inspired language with a lot of syntax?
I'm not sure what you mean, what cities in the desert near the central valley? Reno, Lancaster?
correction? IIUC from that link, America produced as much oil in a day as Japan in a year.

---
Japan produced about 2.7 million barrels of oil domestically. The domestic wells were located at Akita, Niigata and Nutsu. This was about 0.1 percent of world production 1941). This was approximately comparable to a single day of American oil production.
> you're bombarded with ads

what you call ads it's actually called upselling.

I can buy none of those items and the price of the ticket will not increase.

I do not travel Ryanair because I cannot skip the in cabin ads.

But even if I did use their services, wearing noise canceling headphones would not cost me more.
There are two reasons why sometimes the parentheses are on a separate line:

((paris (french))
(los-angeles (english spanish))
)

Something like above would be used if one often adds data clauses to that expression.

Also when there are comments on the last line, then sometimes the expression might be closed on the following like:

((paris (french)) ; city 1
(los-angeles (english spanish)) ; city 2
)

I'm looking for a dev job now after a few years off... it's painful! I put my hope into each application, hearing nothing back most of the time stings. And all the while time is ticking.

My instinct is to go learn more, make another project, stall it out and come back when I'm better prepared. I can't really see what one more project is going to do for me though.

What feedback are you getting? Is it ghosting that you're interpreting as not being good enough?
Your statement about transformers makes little sense within a context of power grids. You start by pushing power into 230 V system, which has a maximum tolerance of around 250V, after that you can damage electrical equipment connected to those line. That alone will limit how much power you can push out into the grid. An then through how many transformers and miles of wires will the electricity you produce go before it reaches high voltage lines, which are needed to transfer power over distances?

On the other hand the nuclear power station turbine generates power with a voltage of 20 KV feeding it to a high voltage transformer, which steps up the voltage to 200KV and is connected directly to the transmission lines.

Presumably by impeding competitors who attempt to automatically price match.

For those who didn’t read the full article (I don’t blame you; it’s nearly illegible—font weight 86‽) the airline intended to price-discriminate against automated scrapers, not against people who don’t view ads, but distinguishing between robots and humans is futile in practice.

I worked on a business that lived of selling Microsoft licenses like Office and the Windows Server version. They also came with this idea of creating apps but for Windows Phone. There was some people uploading more than 100 apps to the store with things like recipes, free books, mini games, etc. They distributed a few Windows Phones as prizes. It was very weird and I don't know who came up with the idea.
Why the downvotes I wonder? Ok let me try using something the soviets didn't have: gpu shortages!
It really is, for the drugs.
I think you're misreading that essay. Those three domestic wells were "... about 0.1 percent of world production 1941). This was approximately comparable to a single day of American oil production."
After that there will be surcharges for wearing an eyemask or noise-cancelling headphones, to recoup the airline's lost revenues from passengers' less than total engagement with in-flight ads.
The sefaty presentation will continue after an add.
> Companies could throw money at gimp. But that doesn’t mean it’ll ever have a control scheme that’s usable to the 99.9% of people with prior digital art experience who go in expecting something similar to 99.999% of other software, only to find it’s completely backwards.

For what it's worth, GIMP does indeed have about a million dollars sitting in their donation account. So money isn't their issue, project management is.
OpenAI Jukebox is probably the most famous example:

You can have multiple `f` with different "arguments" (if you consider a receiver a part of arguments) without the full multimethod, which is actually pretty hard to get it right and only one language out of your examples (Julia) does that. Other two languages (Rust and Go) fully retain classes, slightly obscured to fit with traits and interfaces respectively.
You can still mix C++Builder and Delphi today. Embarcadero made huge efforts to make sure their Clang powered compilers has interop with Delphi code and vice versa.
C++Builder still share the VCL and FireMonkey frameworks with Delphi.
> designers are asking for stupidly complex UI

I think a mobile app should have a stupidly simple UI instead. Designers traditionally use a graphics program to design pixels. SwiftUI let’s you design layouts and components. Maybe designers should change how they design and start using SwiftUI as a design tool.
Not quite, but I've used that one before as well. I suspect many of them offer similar(ly naïve) functionality.

How about this. You land on the site, and there is a popup that says, "If you allow us to show you ads while you're shopping, we'll give you l10 off the ticket price!"
Treasury management is not straight forward though. A lot of projects raised in ETH, and decided to keep the ETH rather than locking in the dollar value they need to pay expenses in. ETH mooned and they are in a better financial position. In other cases projects raised in stablecoin, but needed ETH to pay gas, which spiked at the same time ETH mooned, resulting in millions of dollars expenses that needed coverage leaving them in a much worse position.

Not that it seems to apply to this case in particular. It looks like this guy just trousered as much as thought he could get away with.
Nowhere mentioned in this article, but wasn't saltpetre given to prisoners to reduce "sexual urges" within prisons? Or is this an old wives tale?
I've had plenty of success using the EU regulators to enforce 261/2004 compensation requests if an airline is not following the rules.

It can take a while for the regulator to get to your case, but it is only a 10-15 minute investment to find the relevant authority and to email to them with your information/circumstances. Then 2-4 months later the airline follows up to arrange payment. With budget flights the compensation can end up paying for multiple future flights.

“Please drink a verification can”
Can you give an example of a non-programming task where errors can be serious/fatal?

In my experience, the programmers are closest to the technical controls in the organization. In matters of compliance and security, the programmers will often play a key role in documenting existing practices and suggesting ways of meeting requirements.

Maybe you had something else in mind.
Not to say that you are wrong necessarily, but a hotel room is a long way from being a home. Specifically, there is no sense of ownership/secure residence/aspect of place as you would find with an actual home.

Does "long Covid" actually exist, can one get a blood test, scan or something like that done to have it diagnosed?
The best defense is a good defense
And we know from observation that everything that begins to exist has a cause for its existence.

We actually never observed everything, cause there is a great shadow far in the past. We just launched yet another space telescope to look a little farther, btw.

This suggests that the universe was caused. ... A powerful, immaterial, timeless force outside of the universet that caused the universe to exist. This points to God.

Or to a multi-dimensional coffee machine which farts universes as a side product every multi-morning and its owner doesn't even know that. It doesn't point to anything and even less so to a conscious creator who decides where "you" go after your brain runs low on oxygen for a while.
Applies just as well to almost any social media. The worst thing is that these apps addict one to unrealistic expectations and instant gratifications. Digital tobacco.
Yeah you end up designing models not to be logically separated but to instead isolate updates to Views. In theory those should align but they don’t always. And the method of finding objects thru the environment makes it all too easy to have big models that everything is listening too which of course really hurts perf. So easy to hold SwiftUI wrong.
Google is the only thing losing a lot of money because of adblockers. They told them to do it?
I didn’t mean rewriting, not initially at least, but rather building new parts in Rust, as that would remove large parts of what is currently done manually or with macro magic (inside GLib or elsewhere).

But I can see how not having enough people can make even that very difficult.
There is the classic Minsky quote:

Oh I pretty much agree. There's a good argument that the whole first part of the book was to get him to a point where he could write the story he wanted to write. But, if so, there were probably better ways of getting to that point.

And, even if you accept how they got there, the last part of the book just wasn't very compelling for me.
That would require caring about the welfare of other humans more than caring about money/political "power", which most huge corporate entities these days (and the governments they own) have already proven time and again that they do not.
My company would widely be considered as stable, I'm personally 100% long term on our company. So it's past the "great news for our roadmap and long term path to profitability or further investment" phase. Although we're not massive either (few mil, rapid growth). Also bootstrapped from $300, so I could see it being different for venture funded situations.

Different companies/team compositions might have different best paths.

It's more "why are you hiring someone, when you could give everyone a bigger bonus" vibes. Where my goal is to say, give 2x the bonus in the future via the hire instead, but an employee could justifiably, for their own reasons, want more money today.

I'm saying that^ in the context, of, in my opinion, big picture employees as well.

I agree there's sometimes misalignment, everyone has their own goals/aspirations/career, and they sometimes aren't the same as the company goal/timeline. At the end of the day, that doesn't mean that they aren't capable of making valuable contributions or that we don't want to support their goals. That is ok, it's impossible to be everyone's everything.

I don’t necessarily disagree that whoever had access to that drive after it landed at the FBI could have had a political ax to grind. It’s pretty apparent over the last 7 years that there is some highly politicized factions within the FBI. However, it’s definitely hard to sell the “it’s manufactured Russian disinformation” because of folders that were created after it reached the FBI and after the contents of the drive were made public to the media.

Frankly I think the most damning stuff is the emails that were DKIM verified anyway.
