You’re:

1. Not actually detailing your life experience

2. Repeating tropes and stawmanning arguments that others aren’t making

3. Framing people you don’t agree with as “PMC people”, i.e. you’re not engaging with their arguments

Your final sentence applies in spades to how you’re arguing across the thread. Ridiculous.

Taking a lead in helping the Ukrainians defend themselves seems like about the only laudable thing the UK government has done in a long time.

I recently saw a post on an android site about alternatives to google maps and since I'm going to be driving over the holidays I have tried out a couple. They may or may not give better directions but the voice nav on both of the ones I tried was terribly robotic compared to google maps' voice.

One of them even had the default that it made an alert every time you were above the speed limit. So in town when I would be varying between just above and just below the speed limit depending on the flow of traffic, the stupid app would be beeping constantly. For the first time ever I was hoping for a red light so I could have a moment to find the setting to turn that off.
No. Dotted lists are just a notational convention. All lists can be written in dotted notation.

You can define NIL as follows:

(setf NIL (cons 0 0)))
(setf (car NIL) NIL)
(setf (cdr NIL) NIL)

Then:

(defun null (thing) (eq thing NIL))

You also have to add a bunch of special cases to other functions:

(defun cl-style-consp (thing)
(and (consp thing) (not (null thing)))
(defun cl-style-symbolp (thing)
(or (symbolp thing) (null thing))
(defun cl-style-symbol-name (thing)
(if (null thing) "NIL" (symbol-name thing)))

and a few others.

In fact, many CL implementations actually implement NIL that way so that CAR and CDR of NIL return NIL without having to make that a special case.
I could not believe that misfeature was actual, intended behavior from upstream gtk and not some stupid MBA-minded decision made by district maintainers when I ran into that on elementaryOS 6.
Note that there are two common uses of "geothermal". One is for geothermal power generation, and but there's also an unfortunate use of the term in describing ground-loop heat pumps and similar technologies. Ground loop heat exchanges are a godsend for heat pump efficiency in the deep of the Minnesota winter, but it's very different from a source of heat that's practically exploitable for electricity generation.

From the context, I think your link is relevant to the GP's question.

However, if you search for "geothermal Minnesota", you'll get hits primarily related to ground-loop heat pumps.

Note that in the Minneapolis area, the ground will freeze down about 3 feet in winter, so you need to bury your ground loop deeper than that. The frost line is even deeper up in the Duluth area. (Also, you need to use an air compressor to purge the vast majority of water out of any in-ground sprinkler systems before the ground freezes.)
A lot of people have had bad experience with unions. Often times, it's only people with high seniority that see the most benefit from unions. This is why the railroad unions negotiated for more pay instead of paid sick days. Pension payouts are based on the average of the highest 60 paying months. Senior employees who are due to retire in a few years just need bear a few more tough years to enjoy their significantly fatter pensions.
Do you mean you can't iterate a null in JavaScript or in LISP?

You can't iterate a null in JavaScript, but that's a design decision of the language that could have gone another way; `for (const elem of null) {do();}` could have been specified to be valid JavaScript that never calls `do()`, but it wasn't because it wasn't.
In case it matters to you, the "GPT-2 Output Detector" rates this text as "99.68% Fake". (https://huggingface.co/openai-detector/) For comparison, the top three comments as of this writing got scores of 87%, 99.91%, and 99.98% Real.

I wouldn't be surprised if, within a few months or years, we all develop a reasonably solid ability to recognize AI generated text (in much the same way that the special effects that looked great in movies 30 years ago look pretty goofy today). But it seems that even before we reach that point, AI is already pretty good at recognizing its own.
Oh thanks. I made the discount more to decrease the price, holidays is a nice day, but later on I think I'll reduce it much, since there are tons of books about this topic and it's overpriced.

I'm going to switch to something... like an interactive platform, something big, in the next year, so that it's both decent and has a good price
> Why would the CEO be my enemy?

I studied some basic economics.

The goal for a player seems to be to obtain the maximum, giving the least.

For his very role, the CEO will pay you the least amount he can get away with. Ok he won't think of a few dollars or cents, because it's not worth to think about it… but when you negotiate your salary he would give you a negative raise if he could get away with it. And during normal work days he wants you to work as much as possible.

Of course a good CEO understands that working 20h today means that you won't do a good job tomorrow… but the long term goal is that.

There are some things, like political campaigns, where absolute inequality does matter. One man one vote may be true in theory, but in practice Rupert Murdoch has fat more political sway than anyone on this thread precisely because of his wealth.
I feel like you are mischarecterizing OPs argument. His argument is that rather than focus on inequality we should focus on increasing everyone's standard of living overall.

> It’s my understanding that in most union jobs, compensation and benefits are strictly based on time in role, not performance.

That is one structure, and it probably was predominant in the past because unions were historically in factories where workers were more interchangeable and had set tasks at a production line station.

Another is more 'guild-like': Jane Smith who is Waitress #2, and Tom Cruise who plays Ethan Hunt in Mission Impossible, are both part of the same union/guild, but one is able to negotiate a much higher salary. But they have the same 'base' level of protection with regards to working conditions, pension, health care, etc.

Certainly Tom Cruise can go above and beyond those 'base' levels, but the union/guild simply provides a floor which everyone is entitled to.

There's no reason why a union contract could not negotiate things like working conditions, health/child care, pensions/retirement funds, etc, but leave salaries out of the collective agreement. Or perhaps have pay bands, with retention/performance bonuses that are out side of the scope of the agreement, and are 100% discretionary to the company: everyone gets a floor, but there's no ceiling.
I find this line of reasoning compelling. However, to attempt steel-manning the opposing view: isn’t classification a mechanism for categorizing based on observable properties? If we created something that mimicked all observable properties of a bird, why would that not be a bird? And if we created something with a majority of the properties of a bird, and the remainder were unknown, wouldn’t it be accurate to say it’s probably a bird?
Do you mean Brexit? Otherwise I don't recall the last time that the Murdoch press has had any influence on any policy in either the EU or the United States.

The Murdoch press was for Sweden-style COVID-19 policies and deescalation in Ukraine. If it had been listened to, we'd have low gas prices and economic prosperity now.

Instead, Biden pumped up the stock market with COVID-19 relief funds handed out to his interest groups and sent Kamala Harris (who did not know what Ukraine was) to the Munich "peace" conference, where liberals Stoltenberg et. al. escalated further.

So, apart from Brexit, which Murdoch opinion has been implemented in the past decade?

Oh no, that's an entirely different problem. Because of supply chain issues, stores are allocated product based on how much of that product they sell. That sounds like it makes sense, but really what it means is that smaller stores slowly get less and less product until they can no longer meet local demand. There is no way to break the cycle.

This is half of the reason everyone who worked at my store walked out on the same day. The other half is that the only people who worked there were me and the manager, and it had been that way for six months.

My advice is to avoid SW these days and go to Lowe's. SW is contractually obligated to ensure that Lowe's always has inventory. But do spend a little extra money for their mid-teir product. The cheapest stuff is trash and you will regret it.
Yes, but less people care about those.

Yes, that's why I'm saying breeders would be required. To scale from existing operating breeder reactors to powering the world would require increasing the number of such reactors by a factor of 5000. Scaling up renewables and storage is a much smaller multiplier, in comparison.
It won’t be near as tough. I’ve been in Drupal since the 6->7 transition. D7 was still procedura with a homebrew event system (hooks). D8+ is OO based, near total rewrite built on top of symfony and a few other well managed PHP components. The change was drastic and removed 90% of the hook system so no D7 code could run on D8 if it wasn’t a pure php library. Upgrading from 8->9 though is fairly simple on a requirements level and only gets tricky if you have some heavy customization. Each time a new major version comes out now there is an equivalent old version that still has all the deprecated code. So for instance moving from 9->10 we have 9.5.x that will be supported for the next year and has all the same features available to it as 10.0.x. So it is just a matter of tracking down deprecated code (either Drupal 9 or PHP < 8.1) and refactoring it, then running composer update. 10 to 11 will follow the same pattern unless there is some massive unforeseen change. This process can be accelerated by paying attention to the 6 month minor releases that mark code as deprecated and direct devs to the appropriate replacement. Odds are really good that a well maintained 9.4.x site can jump to 10 with minimal pain.

Would be cool to have Tesla's existing cameras collect photo snapshots for analysis. One of the few sources with the scope to ground truth maps at very low cost.

We differ on the fact “clearly a joke”. I don’t think that is as self evident as you. I have no issue with my government asking a private company to take down posts with incorrect voting dates. I also believe that Twitter should have a government transparency report where they shed light on these requests.

I agree with most of your points here. I added unnecessary complexity to the problem of tracking time and getting paid. I decided to bill for every documented minute. There was no requirement from the clients. Totally my decision.

Looking back, if I had to do it again I would bill a day rate and/or set a monthly minimum billable rate to compensate for the constant availability. The job did introduce lots of stress at times and interfered with a normal life. The only saving thing here is that I set my own rate, controlled my own hours to a large extent, and tried to capture payment for every bit of time spent working with them. I also had the opportunity to work with the latest generation hardware, debug the latest software to run it, and troubleshoot problems in real time when it was deployed and time critical to understand failure modes and quantify success. The job had its benefits outside of the money.
Well if you could iterate a null, you'd also be able to sum 2 nulls. And you'd need null to carry a length (of zero, I presume).
Most people on this site are American. Deal with it. Also, newsflash, you're speaking English.
A union is a democratically-run tool. Every tech employee I talk to hates the idea of compensation being based purely on time in role, why would they democratically vote for that to be the rule?
GTK is pure C, while Qt is C++. It's both a blessing, and a curse.

Because all they see is "that union is taking money out of my pay check!" and they don't see the positives.

And there actually are bad unions. I worked in a casino and out union was a non-striking union so even if the casino gave use some shitty contract we weren't able to strike. So what was the point?
I'm not from the UK, but from a distance (the other side of Europe) it looks like UK's ongoing economic implosion seems to also have been caused by the people over there going all in on "the service industry!" sometime in the late '80s - the '90s, and leaving aside almost anything that involved making physical things, from roads to steel to stuff like that.

Imo that might work for a very small country or for a city-state (like Hong Kong or Singapore, even though these also used to make actual stuff), but I don't think you can base the economy of a country as big and developed as the UK is entirely on services. At most you get a pseudo-city-state, which is what London looks like, surrounded by economic "blob". It's not London that built modern UK, but the likes of Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow and, yes, Newcastle and the North-East of England. All those cities might as well not exist now, from an economic pov.

Of course, I might be totally wrong on this as I don't live in the UK, but I've got most of that by reading David Edgerton's The Rise and Fall of the British Nation: A Twentieth-Century History [1] recently. (a Economist editorial from a couple of weeks ago was also quoting David Edgerton, if it matters)

Im glad Drupal is still thriving, but at a certain point it became discombobulated enough that for simple use cases it made more sense to use WordPress and for complex use cases it made more sense to use Laravel. Drupal still holds a great niche for highly collaborative sites and Enterprise CMS. I wonder if it will ever find a resurgence to previous levels of popularity or will slowly fade into those niches.
Thank you - that’s what I’ve been thinking. Maybe read up on LBJ first before you spread such confident conspiracy theories?
Corbyn got 202 MPs in 2019, Blair in his 3rd term got 355

Corbyn wasn't just deeply unpopular across the country outside of student areas. I spoke to life long remainer lib dems in the Tory/Lab marginal seat of Crewe and Nantwich who were voting Tory to stop Corbyn. Across rural areas in Cheshire people were voting Tory because they were scared of Lib Dems backing Corbyn.

Due to the way that FPTP works, his concentrated support in student/young urban areas was wasted, with the result being a Tory landslide.

>In the first two lines of the joke, "walk into a bar" is used in the literal sense, as in two men entering a place where drinks are served. However, in the punchline, "bar" is used in the sense of a barrier or obstacle, rather than its literal meaning of a type of establishment.

The literal sense of walking into a bar isn't walking into a drinking establishment, it's walking into a actual bar. The punchline reveals the first 2 walked into a bar and the third one avoided it, no?

You've nothing to apologize for. MPH and FPS are both simple distance versus time measurements, both imperial, and trivially converted. Of course it's some non-US individual that has to complain about it, those are the only people who truly seem to care about what units are customary in the US. The rest of us just convert as necessary. Hell, just google search and have the answer in two seconds.
Powering a single 1000 MW(e) LWR reactor with sea water uranium would require an adsorber field covering 170 square kilometers of continental shelf. The average power/area would be considerably worse than solar.

Also (from second reference): "The predicted cost to extract uranium from seawater ranged from $610/kg U to $830/kg U." Ouch.
Is that a problem with income inequality, or a problem with political campaign financing rules/influence in a system which has wealthy people?

Personally I think lower inequality in our society would be a good thing - but also with political influence there are more direct faults/solutions.
I have no idea how you measure fluency, but most of the population we are concerned with learned a foreign language until the age of 16. Brits are "famously monolingual" because the country only speaks one language (unlike almost every other European country).

I don't know, I haven't tried to talk to any of them in a language that isn't English. Again, your supposition that this must be true is based on what? It must be...you heard this thing about Brits...

Right and two of the people you mention have never served in British parliament. Hannan has links to the US...and is the same person advocating heavily for a Swiss deal with EU...that couldn't be right though? You said he had "links". He wasn't the Brexit Trade Minister (that is a fictional position).

Truss and Kwarteng didn't look "strongly" to the US...I have no idea where this is coming from. Do you just not like the US so you think this other group of people you don't like must be allied to them? Truss was Trade Minister and did deals with the Commonwealth, there was no real focus on the US at all (because of Biden). Britannia Unchained is famous in the UK for being particularly adulatory towards East Asia, not the US.
> > What the left fails to realize is that absolute inequality doesn't matter.

1) It's always paternalistic to try and explain to people how they should feel, especially when the social group in question is 55-60% of a country of 330M, it's not a matter of being right or wrong. It's a matter of Tilting at the windmills vs. not Tilting at the windmills.

2) It's impossible to solve inequality because every complex system is a Pareto system, however Pareto says nothing about the speed of the turnover of the top 20%.

Unions can be what the workers want them to be. The industrial time-in-role thing can be a reasonable match to industrial industrial jobs. But collective bargaining can include performance-based pay. E.g., the union negotiates the overall base raise and the size of the performance-based raise pool, and then managers decide on raises and promotions. They can also help you resolve situations of individual managerial unfairness, something that HR is supposed to do but is very rarely effective at.
