Ever since I came across the post about how sheep rotate leaders in a herd, I’ve become befuddled with the parts of the scientific community who conduct these kind studies. How is something like this planned, proposed, funded, re-planned, etc. and for what cause?
Consider yourself lucky you're not across the sea in the Netherlands. Inflation is 14%+ and household purchasing power is below the level it was 20 years ago.
Original LISP was pretty much a DSL for symbolic computation, something that wasn't exactly catered to at the time (it wasn't first, but it was so early in computing you could write a Master's Thesis about IF-THEN-ELSE construct).

That said, various Lisp Machine systems as well as internals of Lisp implementations often contain DSL for implementing the OS/language, sometimes with many smaller DSLs (while the ur-example is "LOOP" macro from MIT, my favourite is a file from Genera bearing a comment - paraphrased - "behold, I implement half of PL/I to implement structure packing into byte vectors").

Of course, in languages like Lisp or TCL the separation between DSL and main language is not so stark as in case of DSLs implemented in let's say C or Java.
There’s a joke on Instagram of a lady in the delivery room giving her partner (an electrician) a stern look because he’s testing the outlets for compliance and discussing why some are inverted with the ground up.

I’m picturing you and your partner having a similar scenario and it’s rather amusing. :)
The laws of an undemocratic authoritarian nation aren't really comparable to those of a democratic one.
> They were not an attempt to fool people.

That's exactly what they are. The whole reason People started pushing them was to pursue an agenda to affect developmental psychology. Perhaps you are misreading my point, as are others who seem to equate not being a loser with first place. A third place trophy is not fooling anyone that the winner is equal to the first place winner either. Participation trophies allow children to accumulate a room full of trophies and praise from relatives.
The question is about precision of my explanation, unlike you I have not figured out life, so bit of self-doubt.

Servers for Hackers: Server Admin for Programmers
This is 100% caused by the anti-Russian sanctions policy, yet not a single comment on this thread so far has even mentioned the sanctions and tried to engage in a reasoned debate about whether the economic costs paid by Europe (and especially the energy insecure nations within the EU) were worth whatever moral good boy points the sanctions buy us.

Some have suggested the sanctions help Ukraine, but haven't articulated a plausible mechanism by which this happens. I can see how sending weapons to Ukraine helps their war effort. I can see how sending money to Ukraine helps their war effort. But I fail to see how Europe de-industrializing and being plunged into a low standard of living helps Ukraine. Weakening Europe doesn't seem to be a pro-Ukraine policy position. And it's hard to think of another geopolitical tool that has a near 100% failure rate yet which is everyone's favorite tool. It's Alice in wonderland.

Meanwhile, the Russians are laughing, they have record trade surpluses and budget surpluses (in the middle of prosecuting a war) and their economy is growing again. They are not finding it hard to find buyers for their fertilizer, wheat, oil, gas, coal, etc. These are things that everyone needs, not just Europe. China and India are both backing Russia and massively ramping up trade with them. A massive trade deal with Iran is being signed. OPEC is backing them and increasing trade. Latin America is increasing trade. Africa is increasing trade, as are the central asian republics and southeast Asia. All of this should put an end to the idea that Russia needs to trade with Europe or that Europe matters a whole lot to Russia's future.

But back in Europe, which is forced to pay premiums for Russian LNG laundered through China and Russian Oil laundered through India and Malaysia, there is complete silence on the foolishness of sanctions, as article after article comes out about UK standard of living declines and German de-industrialization, with no one discussing why energy costs so much more in Europe than in the rest of the world. Instead, people are talking about Brexit, corporate greed, etc -- all the usual talking points, without a single mention of what is causing this dramatic economic decline.

Truly a bizarre state of public discourse.

Affirm is pretty new, doesn't give zero interest to everyone or support all purchases.

Credit cards and payday loans support all purchases and actually exacerbate this issue by extracting money from people. It makes sense after all, they are a service that has to make money and if rich people don't need their service, where is the money going to come from?

Affirm could work if it was not trying to make a profit (maybe off VC funds), but it is difficult for me to understand how it will solve this issue and be profitable.
Yes, it is possible to amend the US Constitution to carve out an explicit exception in the 1st Amendment for political donations. So far Congress hasn't made a serious effort to do so.
If I wasn't renting I would install a heat pump but, we don't have that option at the moment. I do throttle it back to 60F ambient temp in the evening when no one is there. I use a raspi with a temp sensor to control the speed of the hashing in the cluster.
I was poor earlier in life. Spending the $50 does nothing to make someone not feel poor but it does, in some way, medicate the feeling. It's the same reason some wealthier people I've met have bought new iPhones and computers every time the next generation rolls around. There isn't a need for it beyond an emotional benefit. But those are important because life is a balancing act. When you're poor you know you're an inch away from being homeless and it weighs heavily. A night of having fun might be temporary but it's memorable and helps tip the scale towards sanity, even if more economically prudent decisions would help in the long term.

Recognizing everyone is different, the question is, how much hardship can you endure before you just give up?
> Brits should realize this is not 1921.

Heh, well stated. The sun set on the British empire a long time ago. Expectations need to be adjusted accordingly.
If that’s true, why isn’t that the party line? Every tax-reductionist I’ve heard from talks to the moral crime of high taxation, and the necessity to cut reliance on the government. I have not heard (as a regular person outside of academic circles) any politician argue that reducing taxes will increase revenue. Given how trivial this concept is to validate (cut taxes and see revenue go up) why hasn’t it been implemented?

Closely related: people who say money can't buy happiness. Yeah fuck you. No one who was ever poor says that.
> This is such a simplified viewpoint. The UK has never been able to collect more than 39%-40% of GDP in taxes. And that's what the level is at now. Already everyone is paying as much tax as in history.

This has a double meaning: (1) “everybody” meaning the whole body, and (2) “everybody” meaning each tax-paying individual.

The two are not the same: it can be true that the whole body of taxpayers is paying the same amount (proportionately) into the GDP as always, while more of that proportion comes from the lower and middle classes than it historically has.
I'll get downvoted for this, but this isn't true if you're one of the two protected classes in the UK: pensioners or welfare recipients. Both will see their income rise with inflation.

If you're working then, sure, you're getting screwed as always because after just spending billions locking down the economy to saving boomers from Covid, this year we decided to spend billions bailing out boomers pensions, paying for boomers energy bills and ensuring that boomers can see their pensions rise inline with inflation.

Everyone in my family is either a pensioner or on benefits and they are having a great time in their £500k government provided homes, driving their government provided cars, heating their homes with money the government gave them.

And I'm all for pensions and welfare, but the wealth divide between those on benefits and those who work is insane in this country. If we were all doing fine then whatever, but the fact all my friends who work full-time can't afford anything and consider themselves lucky if they can afford to rent a 2 bed flat while those who don't work are living in £500k houses drives me up the wall.

If we we were all doing well then whatever, but I'm sat here freezing and wondering how I'm going to pay for my mortgage that's going through the roof because of all the money we've borrowed for the boomers.
Today, as will be spent laying on the cold & hard ground of a floor in the high desert of Cali - maybe with a warm cup of tea - I find myself thankful for the freely accessible intellectual stimulation on HN, which has played a major part in (mostly) keeping my sanity for quite some time now (think I found this place in 2012, never felt need for account tho), while essentially bedridden. Though I often find some of you on here to be a bit ghoulish, the site is most definitely a net positive for me.

Thankful for my few friends - of all I’d intentionally pushed away, as to not have them witness my medical condition rapidly deteriorate the me they knew - who have continued to care about me, & attempt stay in my life.

Thankful I can still piss as biology intended, & that I’m not in a wheelchair or similar mobility device. Sorry for the crassness of this remark for those who can’t & do need said devices, but either of those two for me, & I would soon take exit of our life.

Now over half of my young life completely encompassed by extreme pain, discomfort, & debilitating symptoms. Career path likely irreparably derailed, despite hard earned full ride scholarships. Doctors who didn’t give a fuck until it was near too late, & now more doctors who still mostly don’t give a fuck.

Be thankful for your health & able body if you have it. For those who do, I advise making a plan, grounded in reality, as to whether or not you want to fight an unfathomably painful & endlessly hopeless battle, should one ever come your way - or to be at peace with the fate behest (is this a properly used word. I don’t know, too much brain fog right now) you, & a plan to leave our world in the most comfortable way. Before slowly watching your life’s achievements fade away into nothingness, & you/your friends having to watch you wither away into nothing more than the most physically & mentally fragile husk of who(m?) you once were.

Take care of your bodies, desk nerds. & should the need arise, seek treatment as early as possible, & use whatever means necessary to get it.

Edit: For visibility & my principles - though I am not one of them, I am very NOT thankful for the active culture war currently raging against the LGBTQ+whatever folk who live in our (US) country. Let them live their fucking lives, & de-platform the psychopaths trying to genocide them.
Thanks for the clarification. It turns out I have a dutch oven, exciting! :)
Just finished rewatching Ken Burns' Civil War for probably the tenth time. It's a holiday tradition for me. To anyone unfamiliar, it will completely transform your understanding of American history, and Lincoln as a man.

Can't recommend it enough, and it's on PBS digital through Prime Video now.
The laconic style of "extremely hazardous" information.
I think it’s frowned upon by many. It’s extremely challenging to address since Citizens United made it legal, and the courts have chipped away at efforts to make it more transparent.

I’m absolutely unhappy with the result. We legalized bribery and rank corruption. It’s awful for the system.

What do you think it’s not frowned upon?

brexit. Everyone in the media try to ignore the elephant in the room. But, brexit.

Meh, all land is stolen land.

I'm celtic ancestory, and we once owned almost all of Europe until those darned Vikings/Germanic/Roman people came and stole it from us 2,000 years ago. WHEN DO I GET MY LAND BACK!

But then again, we probably stole it from some prior civilization, who stole it from a prior one, who stole it from the Neanderthals. We need to get the DNA from Neaderthals, clone them, bring their population back and then give back all their land to them because we, the homo sapiens stole it from them.

Plus you are acting like it is all different groups of different people. ALL of us came from the Great Rift Valley of Ethiopia, we are all brothers and sisters. It's not group against group it is brother and sister against brother and sister. No such thing as "indigenous people", it's just one brother went one way, another went another way.

And it isn't like the Aztecs didn't take land away from other tribes, too. Or Incans didn't enslave other tribes and take there stuff. You probably think it is ok for that to happen because they are both "indigenous" but stealing is stealing. And Russia is trying to colonize Ukraine right now. It's all the same.

Neighbor against neighbor, town against town, state against state, or hemisphere against hemisphere - it's all colonization/recolonization.

India people stole their land from the Denosovans or whomever was there first.

It's the same old song and same old song and dance, my friend.

Anyways, I agree with you. I'm going to Europe. I'm going to take back Europe from the French, Germans, Spanish, et al. and get it back for the Celts. I'll send you a postcard from time to time and let you know how it's going.

(This is meant as half-humorous, half true. Or all humorous and all true, take your pick.)
Reminds me of the scramble suit in A Scanner Darkly.
I work in a big tech company making > 5 times the average salary. People think I'm really fortunate, rich, and that I got it easy.

What they don't see is how I spent half of my career working for a poverty level wage. Making a top 5% income now doesn't erase years of dread every morning going to work, stress of choosing which bill you will and won't pay this month, or constant fear of having an unexpected expense.

I have printed this very model and it wasn't compatible with any of the cables I tried. It's also extremely weak and will break very easily (they all broke within a minute of trying to install them).

It's less than 10 min of print time so it's worth trying, but expect it to fail.
Or anything that involves electricity.
The pressure cooker has been an Indian cooking staple for a really long time. However, it does get noisy :). The instant pot has been an excellent improvement. We use the instant pot for everything - meat gravies/curries, beans and my wife even found a recipe to make jam from frozen strawberries and chia seeds.

We've never owned a slow cooker. But I'm pretty sure I'd be in a load of culinary discomfort without my instant pot (or the back-up Indian pressure cookers).

I'm not sure I've ever had it take half an hour to come to pressure, but you can speed up liquidy things by putting them on the stove while putting the ingredients in. I can heat things up much faster on my gas hob than with the heater in the instant pot.

Meal prep depends on the meal as well. Try a Colombian chicken stew - cut a few potatoes, some tomatoes and onions (rough, just into quarters) and chuck them in the pot with some chicken legs/thighs and bay leaves (and salt and pepper). That's minutes to prep, and doesn't have to be done just before dinner. 25 minutes and then release the pressure. I'm not sure why you carry it outside and use a spoon, you can turn the valve then leave it for a few minutes.
Cool, you're right! I don't know how I missed that one haha
Sometimes I wonder if decision to work such high-skill draining jobs is caused by an upbringing in poverty. Like they are bending on peer pressure to get the biggest wages to fit in with their spending habits because investment in yourself is not valued. It's as if poor people only see a community based on money. It's the thinking that still haunts them.
I suspect you may be surprised which instances get islanded off from the rest of the fedi.

Or rather, which ones already are.

Starting out from a lower point is always a struggle and most attempts to get out of it leaves you with internal scars (like Frodo had in LOTR). And the internal scars always hurt and I don't know how long they continue to hurt.

Sometimes I wonder if it is even worth to do anything about it on an individual level. As an atheist I can only say, may the unknown save us from the world of known.

Honestly, because since Blair the conservatives have been playing politics in labour's court, and labour's language and labour's politics. There hasn't been a clear and good communicator in the conservative party since... I want to say Thatcher?

The facts of this are true. When corp tax decreased from 28% to 20% tax take actually increased. But the conservatives seem unable to communicate this properly. It's sad to be honest. The "science" is there. But blaming the "Tories who want to reduce taxes on the rich and screw you" seems to be the talking point, not facts.
Perhaps so that he will come to the US so he can be arrested here?
It wasn’t this prevalent here either until recently.

The Supreme Court has decided that Congress isn’t allowed to regulate this kind of behavior. The Court has also chipped away at bribery statutes, narrowing them significantly.

Unfortunately, without a constitutional amendment, new justices on the Supreme Court, or a revolution, there’s not a lot that can be done. I support an amendment, but with the current court it’s… we have a long way to go.
It’s also a trauma that gets handed down. My parents, when they had me, were by absolutely no means poor - in fact, they were relatively wealthy - but my mother, and her parents before her, grew up in absolutely grinding poverty, and she has been fundamentally shaped by her experiences to the extent that I inherited much of her mindset. My father came from a family that had been wealthy in the colonies, and suddenly found themselves penniless in Portsmouth. The shame, the fear, the what will people think, the make do and mend, the “oh that’s not for me, that’s for real people” attitude. They’d send me to boarding school with no pocket money, which was utterly quixotic to me as a kid - they could afford thousands a term on my schooling, but not £10 a term for me to not be a social outcast? I had to beg, borrow, or steal to pay for field trips, books, and uniform. It screwed them both up. It screwed me up, as while they’d gotten free of the financial poverty trap, they were still there in their minds. I worked out of school like I had the fires of hell on my heels, and kept grinding until, bar the apocalypse, I do not need to worry about money. I still make do and mend. I still feel like an imposter practically everywhere. I still see brown letters and feel the sweat prick down my spine.

It took me a long time to understand where it came from in myself - until I spent time with folks who themselves grew up in actual poverty, and had similar experiences to mine.
by default. But, if they don't screw things up they have a chance of being in power for 20 years... we will see.
