TXR Lisp values terseness, though not above everything else or to ridiculous degrees where we write catenative code using single international characters denoting functions.

TXR is a native program, with its own run-time, and has very low dependencies. There is a capable, expressive FFI.

Here is an example: ger2err: a complete, stand-alone program with command line parsing, which connects to Gerrit servers to extract changeset comments, turning them into compiler error format you can use in your IDE.

This is a good sample of what ordinary TXR Lisp looks like where effort hasn't been put into "golfing" the code.

There's an interesting DEFCON presentation on lock picking forensics[1]. I don't know if there's any certified agency that can do a forensics report which an insurance company would accept, but if there is such a thing, most (all?) lock picking techniques leave marks.

Why would somebody have 3 socks?
Well, Isaac Newton was also a dedicated alchemist who spent some time and energy on a search for the philosopher's stone (which in no way denigrates his other work on gravity, calculus, optics, etc.). That was pretty common thinking up through the late 18th century, when people like Lavoisier and Priestly revolutionized everything via careful quantitative measurements (and open publication, i.e. not keeping their work secret).

Again, this was an area where Islamic civilization preservend and advanced on Roman-Greek knowledge during the European Dark Ages. There's also some interesting history regarding the Roman Emperor Diocletian, who apparently made a determined effort to wipe out the alchemists in the Empire because he believed they'd actually managed to make gold, and feared debasement of the currency or the funding of rebel armies.

Android phones do not have Arial nor Arimo. I tested a simple page with "font-family: Arial, Arimo, serif" and got a serif font.

Second, you are overstating the importance of metric compatibility on the Web. Web pages aren’t built with pixel-perfect character placement (unlike PDFs or some GUI frameworks) - text is flowed by the browser, and the web developer cannot specify nor depend on the precise appearance of it, as the appearance of text may differ depending on the browser engine, underlying OS, system scaling, user zoom, accessibility settings etc.

"Hello" in 10px Arial takes up 29x10 px on a Windows 11 PC (in Paint), but it might take up a little more or little less 32 px on Linux, or macOS, a different Windows program, or a 150% scale display, due to antialiasing/hinting/rendering technique differences. On a webpage, you wouldn’t make a button containing the word "Hello" precisely 29x10 px — the button would have more breathing space anyway, or it might just have a margin/padding instead of width/height set, and the layout will work even with tiny rendering differences.

Also, while a handful of very-badly-designed pages may break if you replace Arial with Helvetica for aesthetic reasons, the bigger crime they simultaneously commit is that they won’t work if you replace Arial with OpenDyslexic for accessibility reasons.
Waymo is already doing this in multiple cities. What’s your point?
Three things to like about the Fediverse
It would require hardware changes, but we already have all the required cryptographic primitives to mostly mitigate these concerns.

Trusted timestamping can attest that a given piece of media was not created after a given instance in time.

Trusted hardware running trusted code, combined with remote attestation, can offer a high-degree of assurance that a given video clip is not a product of CGI/ML.

Digital signatures by the entity responsible for a video clip's capture/creation mitigates the creation of media not sanctioned by that entity. Subjects in a particular piece of media could additionally apply their digital signatures to further increase trust in its authenticity. (This is effectively a cryptographically enforced version of your third point.)

This isn't a silver bullet, and suffers all the pitfalls normally encountered in the implementation of cryptographic schemes.

It's not bizarre, when you consider that the why of the communist revolution was driven by a popular desire for land reform. (Also Bread and Peace, neither of which could be offered by the provisional government of the February revolution. [1])

And nothing about our current land use and tax policy results in good land use. It can, at best, result in good land use for some of the people owning it, but that doesn't optimize for what is good for anyone else.

If you let the situation rot too much, the same factors that drove that revolution can result in similar political instability. I don't believe we are close to that point, though.

[1] Of course, ironically, a coup backed by a strong public desire for peace resulted in a civil war which was in every respect worse than World War I for every participant.

I wish that they would allow us to use different invocation names for different devices. The Watch can’t always do what the HomePod can and the HomePod can’t always do what the phone can. Yet, if you have them all responding the wrong one will often take the response and tell you that it can’t do that. I have to keep verbal invocation turned off on all of them except the HomePod most of the time and then much use a button to activate a specific instance of Siri.

>It wouldn't hurt their sales. Users running old hardware aren't doing it to save money but instead because they can't afford new hardware, which isn't the same thing.

Many of those users that "can't afford new hardware" are still forced to update after some point due to the lack of updates ("cannot afford" and "absolutely cannot afford" being two different things, and most are in the former category, they can e.g. put it on their credit card, or save some more, or sacrifice something else they'd be spending on, even if they're tight).

Plus, there are many more who can afford it, but doesn't really care much for having a new machine, they just do it because the old ones don't run their software or get updates anymore.

Both of those categories would update less frequently if they had regular updates and support for their old machines.

It seems odd to mourn the death of a friend you no longer call, but who is still very much alive.
Definitely no comparison to alcoholism. But even having two drinks a day works for me over having any amount of pot everyday.
Same thing happened in the 90s and 00s. There was worry that the Japanese were buying everything.
> when the test fails it will be harder to know what actually happened.

Yeah, and if you write one assertion at a time, it will be harder to write the tests. Decreasing #assertions/test decreases the speed of test debugging while increasing the time spent writing non-production code. It's a tradeoff. Declaring that the optimal number of assertions per test is 1 completely ignores the reality of this tradeoff.
I have committed to not buying anything new.

Almost everything I have, aside from gifts I receive from people who overlook my preference, is second-hand.

It is called freeganism, and it helps me feel less complicit in the shaving down of our own biome into things which are thrown away.

In a country with massive abundance, there is more than enough secondhand stuff to go around.

I wish it to become less acceptable (or more workaroundable) for devices like Apple's to become locked forever just because their owner has locked them.

I also have a "hobby" of looking for homes and owners for things which I find. I have found it to be rewarding.

That's more correct, also I realize I just counted number of commits rather than lines added. Close enough though, not like anyone would make any decisions with this list right?
I have a page with some advice on writing searches (https://search.feep.dev/about/query), but I don’t think you did anything wrong here: sometimes my search results are just inexplicably terrible. This definitely falls into that category and is going on my list of test cases that need improvement. There’s a reason I link to Google at the bottom of the results page!

I’m currently using ElasticSearch for ranking, and made a brief effort at tuning it. The problem is that it’s very big and complicated, which makes it hard for me to understand what’s going on under the hood. If I were doing this professionally I’d dive into ES internals and figure it out, but when I can only squeeze in a few hours a week it’s hard to really sink my teeth in. I’d like to switch to something simpler to wrap my head around (possibly Lucene, or Bleve); once I’ve done that I should be able to get a better handle on how the ranking works and how to make it more reliable.
> But in the last 4 years, I've heard the local community scream at their children, heard the local alcoholics shouting abuse at people walking past, seen the local shop attacked by a gang of kids 3 times, seen countless fireworks let off in the square and also aimed at people, seen the rubbish left behind after the community has used the square and park, and been kept up more nights than I can count by the noise.

And for every one of those, there are likely dozens or even hundreds of people not doing those things and instead living quiet, productive lives. Those are the people you're prematurely writing off, and those are the people who would be of value to you.

> We got a plumber recommended by and from the community to replace a shower. That kind of thing?

No, because that would just be a different stranger. If you don't actually know anyone in your community, how do you even know your community recommended that plumber? In all likelihood there are countless other people in your 5 mile radius with the exact same experience who could've warned you about that plumber and recommended a different one (perhaps even the very one you ended up hiring later) - but instead, you wrote them off, and in doing so made a rather expensive decision.

In attempting to refute my point you've proven it :)

> What all these suggestions seem to be missing is that some people (and I don't think it's a tiny percentage, either) do not have the burning desire to mingle with people at fire pits, roof beers, park beers, etc.

None of these suggestions are predicated on a "burning desire", no more than a burning desire to perform some other chore like participation in electoral processes or working for a paycheck. I don't like mingling with people, either - I, too, would rather stay at home all day chatting with Internet people if I could get away with it - but the point is that we can't get away with it, because whether we like it or not we live in a society and it's therefore in our best interests to participate in it.
You could regulate use of the water, or tax it, etc. All kinds of things. Have some imagination.

If these things happen to produce a side effect that it's not profitable to use that piece of land to grow almonds or grass or whatever, so be it. You still didn't confiscate anyone's property that they ever had any valid right to in the first place in the libertarian fearmongering sense.

Or you could mark the water resource as public and go ahead and confiscate the property for some reasonable market value (not a value based on selling a valuable public resource). It's not inconsistent with property rights and free markets or anything like that even if you do decide you have to plain take over something.
And this sort of thing would also kill individual residents that aren't agriculture conglomerates with deep pockets. Agriculture water use must be separated from residential uses. They'll never recover enough water by squeezing residential use because 86% of the water in the West is used for crops.[1] Over 30% of all the water used is for growing crops to feed cows.

I don't agree with the solution advanced in the linked video of paying farmers not to grow alfalfa. I think we should reduce the cow population by 75% (bringing meat consumption in line with the rest of the world), raise the price of beef, and tax the hell out of it. We do it for tobacco, and meat eaters put the same kind of strain on the health system, so let them pay for their entitlement. And saving water isn't the only benefit of reducing the population of cows, which would include longer life spans and much, much less contribution to Climate Change.

Right. But the person they sell to at some point down the trading line has to believe dividends will be forthcoming. Foreclose all possibility of that, and no one would want stock.

>Anyone has numerous servers to choose from that will let them say whatever they want, but other people have the choice to go to servers which don't federate with the other one.

And then people who are unhappy with the mere existence of other servers hosting speech they dislike will launch coordinated attacks on the upstream infrastructure and revenue streams of those servers, as we've seen time and time and time again. And of course this will just be justified as giant corporations merely engaging in their free expression by ensuring that certain narratives cannot be easily communicated between willing parties via a digital medium.
> BTW, the USA's First Amendment just prevents the govt from stopping religion or the press etc. It's doesn't mean anyone has to listen to anyone. It doesn't mean some platform such as Facebook or a newspaper is required to propagate your speech.

I always love this argument… you do know building owners in New York are required to allow protests outside? It’s not just the government Some (such as malls) even have a requirement to allow them inside. Company towns (think Disney, Hershey, etc) couldn’t shut down free speech either.

The public square, regardless of ownership, is protected by the first amendment. Print is similarly protected by the first amendment, though you may have to own your own news org, no one can stop your distribution. Basically, you can’t impede others blocking roads), but you can stand and preach and distribute. This has been upheld MANY times by the Supreme Court.

They will likely not do too much to social media quite yet, as there are 5-6 alternatives to distribution AND congress has passed specific laws governing internet speech. However, I’m sure as these court cases work up to SCOTUS we will eventually see it upheld again (might just take 2-3 more years).
random thoughts: i think some games more execution focus. "harder" is more finesse in execution. some are more knowledge; getting better is arcane knowledge about the smallest details. most are some mix.

I look at what "being good" is, and what devs have to do to add a player-demanded "higher difficulty", and what players have to do beat it. What's fascinating is how the experience changes; Sometimes that means "breaking" the game (check-pointing and cheesing), sometimes not.
I created a random one. I play table tennis so the focus is also on the joints/muscles used there.

I start with head rotations, than some arm rotations and stretching, then torso rotations, then stretching the legs by doing lunges (I think they're called), then doing 2 sets of 25 squats with a very wide stance and also stretch my wrist for the last 5 squats of each set, then 10 squats with legs together, then stretching the legs and back by bending forward and reaching for my toes when standing, then some balance, standing on one leg and lifting the other backwards in the air and arms wide apart (this doesn't do anything, but I like improving balance in that stance).

Overall it takes like 3-5 minutes, sometimes after I do some crunches for some core strength and to get the heart pumping.

The squats are the hardest part, and require most motivation, but doing squats in the morning is really good for blood flow (to the brain especially).

I always do the stretches as soon as I wake up, after going to the bathroom but usually before washing my teeth.

Is there a particular reason this site does not index the official documentation for languages and frameworks? Tried a couple different searches for the things I work on and mostly got HN and stack overflow posts that aren't really responsive to my query.

https://search.feep.dev/about/datasources

Edit: it does appear the the devdocs.io has the docs I'm interested in, but they don't appear to be surfaced in the first several pages of results at least. A good example for this is searching "python datetime" which does not actually return links to datetime docs, just a lot of HN and SO posts referencing datetime.
But mastodon is not without moderation on a per instance basis.
No, they did not. They only did psychological assessment, and then referred on to endocrinology who would then do their own assessment and decide whether or not to prescribe PBs.

Here's the NHS England stand commissioning contract. On page 17 there's a flow chart, and you can see that after the assessment phase there's a box that says "Refer to Endocrinology Clinic + ongoing GIDS input", and that box exists because GIDS have never prescribed PBs, they referred children on to an endocrinology service who did their own assessment and made their own decision about whether or not to prescribe. Page 18 has a further flow chart that explains the endo referral process. Page 19 describes the referral and separate assessment process used by the endo service. Page 25 gives further details about referral to the endo liaison team.

https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/gender...

From the link you provide: "A standardised set of psychological questionnaires used in the GIDS clinic was completed at the time young people were deemed potentially eligible and referred to the medical clinic." and "Young people were considered for recruitment after lengthy assessment, spending an average of 2 years and up to 6 years within the GIDS psychological service before being referred to the endocrine clinic for assessment to enter the study." - I mean, come on.

One of the lead authors of the link you've provided: "Gary Butler". He's Professor Gary Butler, who works for the Department of Paediatric and Adolescent Endocrinology, at University College London Hospital NHS Trust. This is the service that provides endocrinology assessment and, if necessary, prescribing.

He doesn't work for Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust.

From one of the references in your link: https://adc.bmj.com/content/103/7/631

> Support for children and adolescents up to the age of 18 years has been provided through the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust in London for over 20 years. The GIDS was nationally commissioned by NHS England in 2009 and extended to Leeds in 2012, providing regular outreach clinics in other areas of the UK. Endocrine evaluation and support has been provided through University College Hospital London for over two decades, and Leeds Children’s Hospital since 2013. Care is provided according to an agreed service schedule,3 taking into account international guidance from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH)4 and the recent guidelines from the Endocrine Society.5

Puberty blockers would be "endocrine evaluation and support".

If anything, the UK has been an outlier because so few children had access to PBs, far fewer than in other countries. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18667644/

GIDS at Tavistock and Portman never prescribed PBs. That prescribing was done, independently, by endocrinology services in other organisations.
In the early iPhone era, US phones were usually subsidized/financed by mobile phone carriers, e.g. an expensive iPhone could be heavily discounted or "included" in a 2-year contract, with the carrier looking at the lifetime value of the customer's data subscription. This was less common in Europe and elsewhere, where customers were more likely to purchase their phone separately. If anyone was burning money, it was US carriers, rather than US mobile phone users.
How much electricity must be saved in order to offset the manufacture of one white noise device, including the materials mining for all its components, the manufacture of all those components, the transportation (and packaging) of all those components (separately, each) to the assembly factory, the assembly, the transportation (and packaging) of the device to the warehouse, and then transporting it from the warehouse to the store or delivered (in more packaging) to your house?
