There is no security. You never know when things will go wrong. When pandemic happened software companies like Twitter were untouched but millions of workers felt its impact shaking them to the core and hence preparing them for better choices next time. The employees that are laid off I wish them best of luck but they should have been prepared for a day like this. They were earning good. It's things like this which transforms people. Maybe someone out of these employees will start next billion dollar company, who knows?

> The chest-style refrigerator is surprisingly practical and convenient to use.

Except it's neither of those things and why the normal side opening fridge is the prevalent kind despite its poor power efficiency.

It occupies double the floor area for half the storage, and you have to take everything out to access the bottom most shelves. Even on boats where power efficiency is critical, I've seen people go for the side opening type if they possibly can, because it's just that much more practical.
To make the example extreme, if you got hired to be a developer, and your boss asks you to clean the toilets, is it okay because hey, he's paying for you to do whatever he wants?

You'd probably say no, because his request is way over the line; to me having a jerkoff know-nothing telling me "Print your work and I'll judge whether you're worth it or not" is over my line.
Depends. If they handle it well and offer a generous package when you're laid off, then it's a positive signal that you'll be treated fairly and that they genuinely didn't want to have to let you go. In that case I might consider it.

If they handle it poorly, then not a chance.

That's pretty high though. I've measured my brand new chest fridge (which I operate as a cooler, thus only set to 5 degrees celsius) recently and it consumes 0.2kWh/d. My old vertical fridge/freezer combo which is over 10 years old consumes 0.72kWh/d (that one is operated normally). Both are opened multiple times per day.

> Because it's possible to have a lot better representations of computer code for humans than AST.

Which are those? I assure you I am a human and I find s-expressions to be clean, elegant, easy to read and easy to understand. I have learnt C, Java, C#, PHP, Perl, Ruby, Python, Go, Javascript, C++, Rust over the years and I have not found a syntax that feels better to me, the human.

When I am writing tools for myself I reach out for Lisp because it is the most convenient one to write code in. I don't have to worry about all the syntactic ambiguities and complexities of these other languages. With Lisp, I can focus on solving my problem without being weighed down by complex syntaxes of other languages.

You are saying there are better syntaxes out there? Where can I find this elusive language which has better representations of computer code for humans?

Yeah, a lot of UK universities seem to have gone this route (the number who pay huge sums of money to use the atrocious Blackboard software is scandalous). I think they got burnt by their old-school proprietary software being outcompeted by modern software practices in the private sector. But what they really ought to do is create a non-profit collective that is shared between all (or tens of - you wouldn't need that many to make it a huge saving) universities in the UK to write the software they need for them.

Depending on your role, it's hard to replace talent so if you are good at what you do, then you will be fine.

ZFSBootMenu can also render itself as an ordinary initramfs image and maintain a separate copy of the kernel it's built against. These can be launched with some intermediate bootloader (e.g., rEFInd, syslinux or systemd-boot) or the kernel's built-in EFI stub can be run from the firmware. However, some Dell firmware seems incapable of properly passing command-line arguments to UEFI executables; a UKI that encodes its command line is needed on affected systems.

This was my first question honestly and involves a lot less effort.

Additionally working on a UI for libgen that is far better as an open source project might be worthwhile.
The calculation isn't as simple as it seems...

Typically your house air will have a dew point above 5C. That means, when it enters your fridge, dew will condense on the inside. The latent heat of condensation is really high. Just 10 grams of water could be 22 kilojoules of energy released.

That water will eventually end up as ice on the evaporator (since the evaporator coil in a fridge-freezer typically has to run sub-freezing because it is shared with the freezer). Thats more energy loss (3 kJ for our 10 grams).

Then the defrost mechanism will kick in to melt it into the drain - which is a resistive heater normally. So 3kJ again. The resistive heater typically heats far more than it needs though - a bunch of heat will be wasted into the metal of the coil and air in the fridge - which in turn will need more refrigeration to correct.

So all in all, the energy loss of opening the door of the fridge is dominated by the water you're letting into the fridge, not the energy loss of the cold air.

This analysis is tricky enough and with enough variables (house humidity, design of fridge, amount of other 'wet' food in the fridge, etc.) that I haven't seen anyone attempt to come up with a cost number, either numerically or experimentally.

Not totally disagreeing but note that it is expected to be printed, and modern readers often just look at a PDF which makes the weights too light. Also it has some aliasing problem (or may be named differently, but basically when you view the PDF some words look like a line is skipped but when you zoom or print it out it has no problem.)

Also modern LaTeX is supposed to not use computer modern anymore, but the Latin Modern (which imitates computer modern but fixes some of its shortcomings.)
Serious question about this Twitter sale and how people expect it to go.

What does it really matter to Musk or the other investors if this thing fails spectacularly.
Government typically has a whole ton of contractors, sometimes twice the number of FTEs, but a cursory Google indicates NASA has only about 1000 contractors. Interesting, but the contract money probably goes to acquisition and commercial partnerships (https://www.osbp.nasa.gov/docs/top20_2020_contractors-TAGGED...).

That said, their FY22 budget is “only” $30B, which is less than Elon just paid for all of Twitter. This number usually surprises people but a lot of other space-related work is within the USAF and NRO budgets.
I guess I get you, but, it don't see the point of even bringing it up. Or caring.

Why?

Because worrying, caring about this is the ultimate red herring.

Imagine there are two sides. One which believes all blue people should be exiled, another which is opposed... including the blue people.

Now, to add to this frey, people start shouting at the name the other group calls themselves?!

I mean really, it's like caring that someone is putting too much salt on a sick of salted butter.

How about we argue about the salted butter itself?!

Worse, every erg of energy complaining about the name, is a wasted breath to fight the real issue. And even worse, the other side chose the name, likes it, so what's the point.

People will always think of them by this name. Always.

There was a question regarding whether an API could be copyrighted which was never answered by the Supreme Court. The last decision in that case regarding the topic was that they could be. A jury ruled that the use of the copyrighted API constituted fair use. A federal court then overruled that decision. The Supreme Court didn't rule on the copyrightability of the API because they decided even if it was the use by Google was fair use.

The comment I replied to implied that something couldn't be fair use if the use was commercial. Google's use of the API was commercial and yet ruled fair use by the highest court in the land.

I had a vertical fridge-freezer (Bosch I think), where the fridge and freezer were separate compartments, but behind the main door, the freezer had slide-out drawers instead of shelves.

I always thought that design would also work well for the fridge section. Instead of shelves, you have drawers, which better keep the cold air in, and are also easier to use - no more reaching over things to get something at the back of the shelf.

Or perhaps there's a market for some kind of sliding drawer to replace shelves in existing machines. Unfortunately I think they are all completely non-standard sizes. Another area that is crying out for standardization, modularity etc.

Bizarrely, and to my utter surprise (as someone who has worked in tech all my adult life and recently decided to try crypto) I think there are more women in crypto than any other tech field I've been in.

MCL also moved to the PowerPC architecture. But it was later lost when there was the move to Mac OS X and Intel. The Open Source variant Clozure CL lacked the commercial backing and the nice IDE. Today the only really good GUI-based Lisp for macOS is LispWorks, which is expensive - but it is available on the latest macOS and the latest hardware. Clozure CL struggles to find maintainers.

The PC with Windows had Allegro CL, Golden Common Lisp, Corman Lisp and LispWorks. Of those Allegro CL and LispWorks are still available, though expensive.

I've been laid off in downturns a couple times before, so it has been me in that pit.

But you can't have the boom without the bust, and shrinking bloated companies is a thing that has to happen one way or the other.

Also, the Twitter layoff in particular has had about as much advance notice as anything I've seen. It's been clear for months and months it was going to happen. Plenty of time to get yourself in order or get out first.

Looking at how Musk handles business and public comms makes me loose more and more respect for this guy with every passing second. It's all fun and games when you have a few hundred mills in the bank. Hopefully the people that left were prepared. Given his public behavior it was kind of expected. I'm not sure if people that stayed are now worse or better off.

> But it typically lasts 10 before it needs repairs (neighbors replaced the compressor).

Typically it's way more than 10 for fridges and freezers.

I just recently replaced a chest freezer that was 24 years old. It was still working, but started to consume excessive amounts of power because it apparently lost the ability to efficiently transport heat - it just managed to cool a very small area of the surface inside, even though constructively it should cool over almost all the surface area. As a result the compressor ran almost constantly to keep the insides cool.

The OPs' parents freezer probably has the same problem.
