In a simple Lisp machine, such as something resembling PicoLisp, I can't see why not - iff instead of car and cdr being just linear addresses in a memory, have them itself be hashes.

Since everything is made up from car and cdr, it's easy going from there. There is no difference between running locally, or anywhere. Just look up the data by request or gossip, as you said.

(For performance reasons, one might want to let a cons which represents "source" smaller than the size of a hash, be a literal representation instead of hashed. No need to do a lookup from a hash when you can have the code/data in the cons itself. Analoguous, don't zip a file when the resulting zip would be larger.)
The others have one thing in common: they describe the difference between what is and what should be. Whereas diff is commonly used for the difference between any two things. You could make a diff (as in using the diff program) between two feature branches with no intention of merging one into the other. To me it makes sense to have separate names for these two concepts.
There is an interesting balance to be struck when organizing social spaces. Social spaces having a shared culture is important, and is trivial in the beginning: chances are whatever group formed the space in the first place shared some common ground. From there, in the early stages of growth, the space has a sufficient momentum that the gradual influx of users adapt to the culture, and the culture adapts to the user, and the culture endures. That process breaks down, however, when the influx of new members begins to outpace the normalization between the new members and existing members, accelerating until the desirability of being in the space is eroded, typically due to the very breakdown of the culture of the space.

But not allowing new users at all is not an acceptable state of affairs, because that leads to its own problems: one, it guarantees the demise of the space, because people can always leave, but are never replaced, and two, it leads to a radicalization of the group, as fringe elements of the group have a tendency to drive out existing members, leaving only the radicals (note, I mean radical relative to the selective pressure of the space, as most spaces are radical in their own way relative to society at large).

Maintaining this balance is thus rooted in 1) streamlining the normalization between the cultures of the space and of new users and 2) limiting the rate of new members. Different spaces go about controlling those factors in different ways: fraternities at universities are a good example: they accept a limited number of members a year, and have a formalized initiation process to become an accepted member of the space. Fraternal orders, like the Masons, the Oddfellows, the Elks and the ilk are a poor example: they over corrected on limiting new membership, until they the damaged the desirability of being in their space until they couldn't recruit anymore.

Online, this problem is even harder, as there really aren't any natural limits like there are in life. That means all control factors must be artificial, which becomes contentious.

Gnome seems generally ok, but kind of old school win98 reliability wise. Well it crashed/BSOD, shrug, reboot and move on.

Pretty much once a week I lose the cursor, focus is generally locked onto one gnome terminal, once I find it, I can exist the shell, which kills the window, which doesn't help, but I exit the next window window, and eventually I get my cursor back.

Sometimes whenever I launch anything that uses OpenGL I just get a GLX failure.

Sometimes I go to open a new window and it just won't map.

Granted I open many terminals in a day, but it's still pretty disappointing.

I get the "this application <FOO> has closed unexpectedly" about once a day.

The dev process has been increasingly more and more automated over the years, and I think that won't stop. The current low hanging fruits are things like rolling back the code when something breaks, and testing the code before publishing.. things that companies usually have a lengthy manual process for.

The pledge - which wasn’t signed was for 2% - nobody is afraid of Russia at this point and Poland alone could very well handle any Russian army if this war is any indication.

Of what the US spends on NATO, very little goes to smaller nations. In exchange, the US has legal bases and troops deployed in other countries without fear of retaliation, do you grasp how much power the US gets to project through this? Probably not.

US keeps Taiwan because it benefits them, and because it needs the semiconductors.

Nothing is free.

When you lot decided to invade Middle East for oil yet again for the 4th or 5th time, you also triggered article 5 and foreigners died as a consequence of your own greed, your unchecked black ops, and CIA funding terrorists.

Furthermore, this “alliance” means that people are spending money on US military hardware, not anyone else’s, but this is conveniently out of the discussion every time such complaints come up.

Less than 20% of what the US spends on NATO is used to assist smaller countries, and the US only covers 16% of operational costs of NATO - which is as much Germany is covering.

Meh.

I've often seen reviewers delivering essays to back up their arguments, which essentially boil down to "because I prefer it this way".

Focusing on pure word count doesn't mean that the feedback is valid, or even explains the reasoning well. If anything, it encourages nitpicky and long winded comments based on personal preference.

Often, less is more. If you can get a point across by a small code suggestion, do that instead. But definitely don't fall into the trap of suggesting huge chunks of code, or rewriting parts of it. Sometimes even asking a question to improve understanding is better than arguing a point.

And then other times, especially for trivial changes, "LGTM" or just a blank approval is perfectly fine as well. No need to waste time discussing trivial things if everyone is on the same boat.
Disappointing site - it doesn't even mention the two main categories of apple breeds. Apples were traditionally bred either for cooking or for dessert. There should be a selector and separate ratings for intended use.

With the advent of the shipping container, of course, they are now bred primarily for toughness (low bruising), visual appeal, tolerance of long storage without losing visual appeal, and a short picking season. Taste and texture are minor attributes. Visual appeal means a waxy tough skin and size, mainly. The Granny Smith and Red Delicious being the archetypes.

When I was growing up, in autumn we used to get (by rail, from the grower, 200 miles away) a case of Cox's Orange Pippin[1] for eating, and another two of another apple the name of which I can't remember for cooking. The Envy, Smitten, and Sweetango come closest to the Cox's Orange as I remember it, although that had a hint of a winy taste to it.

If you have room for an apple tree or two, there are many heirloom varieties out there that were bred for taste and texture, not for shipping, storage, and display.

ETA: The ratings are pure opinion, based on what is available at the author's location, the author's preferences, and undefined attributes. What does "skin" mean as a quantitative measure? And why is "branding" a factor at all?

Other folks have said the basic (these aren't the same) but one thing that I feel like few people realize is that "Pull Requests" aren't actually a git concept at all.

> High nominal interest rates are clearly themselves still bad for business

I don't get why nominal matters. Say you borrow 100k and have to pay it back with interest 1 year from now. Inflation rate as measured by CPI/PCE is higher than the interest rate of your fixed rate loan. What you do is basically mobilize that capital and transform it into products and services that you'll sell to customers.

Inflation works in your favor because prices of the goods that you sell during the year following you taking a loan, they rise at a higher rate than your fixed rate loan

> if it's handled by `Choose.toList` and then `Abort.toOptional` in that order you end up with `Optional [a]` whereas if you do in the other order you have `[Optional a]` right?

I mean, not necessarily. Something that handles a `'{Abort} a` doesn't necessarily produce an `Optional a`. It could produce a Boolean, it could produce an Int, whatever. This is really up to the handler. But I still don't see how you produce a "bug" because you can dispatch the requests to abilities in either order. You couldn't, for example, ever produce a (well-typed) situation where a call to abort doesn't abort, or a call to Choose.toList would fail to produce a list. (Perhaps if toList were allowed to also use {Abort} but it is not)
