> the function lookup done for 'LIST isn't in the lexical scope; it's done inside the mapcar function in another scope, or maybe in a lower-level function like funcall or apply

Ah, OK, I think that's the key part I was missing ... that explanation also accounts for what I saw in the REPL ... thanks again! :)
That's because it makes the headlines- working out the real statistics wouldn't even be that hard and would totally remove the need for such sensationalist nonsense, but of course that doesn't pay the bills.
> The ecosystem thing can be a bigger deal, but again it really depends on the problem domain.

Yes, absolutely - and of course C isn't immune to ecosystem problems, either. I remember the pain of working with GNU autotools back in the mid 2000s - in fact it's probably that experience (plus trying to use bleeding-edge tools written in Python!) that left me so cautious about external dependencies today.
No zoom? Wow. I've written a visual programming tool for data wrangling and I addd zoom pretty much on day 1 of coding.
I don't know about other platforms, but in Windows, it had been true >20 years ago, before the desktop was even composited. Some fullscreen games also relied on this functionality, and sometimes you had an option in game settings to switch between hardware-accelerated cursor and manually drawn one (because the former could be buggy with some video drivers).
I can't think of a workflow that would be better served on a local mac with 1.5TiB of ram, than a linux server somewhere else with that RAM.

all the workflows I can conceive of right now would struggle to use more than 128G of RAM, but I am open to ideas.
I have a newsletter that my extended friends and family have signed up for. I did post on social media when I set it up, and a couple of times after that. I also added a link to the physical Christmas cards we sent out a few years ago.

But now I have 20ish people who are interested and that is enough to me.

It doesn’t seem people have a problem receiving them in their inbox.

There is no 'work', plastic is cheap for the packager, expensive for our environment. The industry has setup a marketing compaign to divert attention away from all the externalized environmental costs of plastic.[0]

You are right that I want to undermine this effort because what I want is a full ban on single use-plastic outside medical/laboratory applications.

I highly recommend this PBS docu on the PR aspects around Plastic:

Much like my fears about bluetooth connected cars being hacked to crash on the highway, it turns out that - by and large - nobody wants to kill me (or at least, not badly enough to do anything about it).
This idea is genius, I love it! It inspired me to do exactly the same thing for my app. I built a small UI/server to interactively build routines via natural language by teaching ChatGPT about our APIs and automatically running the code coming out of ChatGPT. This is a small video of the result: https://twitter.com/matthieubulte/status/1606057139645992960

As I wrote in a sibling comment, my faith always rested on Christianity's historical truth claims. So once I reached the conclusion that they weren't true, there was no way I could continue to embrace Christianity. I had to rethink everything from the ground up.
> One of the main indicators of in the study you linked was sales volume, i.e. demand.

Sales is a poor measure of demand, because there are a lot of other factors that impact sales, but stores in low income areas certainly face demand problems in some ways. Demand for expensive products that might sell well in other areas will be much lower in neighborhoods where few people can ever afford them.

A store in a low income area is also insulated since fewer people from outside of the immediate area will come to shop there and many will deliberately avoid shopping there. That's certain to impact sales.

> In reality, they can open as many stores as they want provided that the stores operate profitably.

As long as they can continuously open stores, it would still make them the most money to limit themselves to the most profitable areas right? As long as they have the option to open a new store in a wealthy neighborhood where they can make the most sales and highest profits, why should they open one in an impoverished neighborhood? I live in a pretty nice area and there are five grocery stores within 10 minutes of my house (two owned by the same company), and that's not not counting stores like target/walmart that also sell groceries and are less than 10 minutes away!
Yeah it was a shame this was blocked.

I'm really curious, do you have any examples? I can't think of any that wouldn't be better served by using the type system.
Have had this book on my shelf for a while now, with a false start due to the archaic language. Have subscribed to the blog, and am exited to see where this goes!
Yeah, bail is basically a deposit promise that you'll come to the trial when it comes up. Some trials take a few months to a year or two to come up on the docket depending on how busy they are.

Bail is usually proportional to your crime and there are businesses that will pay your bail if you give them 10%. They take the risk and will send a bounty hunter after you if you skip bail.

Some states like California are testing out non-cash bails which is probably similar to what Germany does. If you do something evil like murder, you stay in jail until your trial. If you're harmless and not looking to escape the country, they let you go.
their marketing team needs to get their shit together and not have a newsletter signup popup on this particular page.
I think you vastly overstate the size a network effect has to be before you hit critical mass.

Especially for interest-related things. For instance, the Haskell subreddit has 73k members. But members on Reddit isn't a good metric (I don't even think I'm one). There's typically a hundred or so users at a time. It's not huge but it works.

I'm on chat servers and forums with less than 100 active users and it's plenty to spend years participating and following along.
Who was saying that? I feel like I've read a lot of HN threads on TikTok, and don't feel like I've ever seen anyone here say that, or no visible comments that weren't grayed out.

People defending TikTok are generally questioning the risk of this data being weaponized by the CCP and whether it's even much of a weapon and whether that's worth it to ban them over. Not over whether TikTok voluntarily follows some privacy guidelines -- on that it's generally assumed they're either already vacuuming up all they can, or could turn that on at any time.
At the same time, TikTok is much more likely to follow the laws of China than the US, while Facebook is the reverse. China is an adversary of the US that does things like let fentanyl flow unfettered here and withhold vital data on Covid, if it were Spotify (based out of Sweden) it would be very different

Or they do, because they woke up to a car from a parent who isn't doing this newfangled internet thing but would like the car tax paid.
Most likely, yes.
Combined indexes are real cool, because if the database can satisfy a join only from the index, it can usually perform it completely in memory, instead of having to do a table scan/hitting the disk for the values.

Another trick people usually shy away from: temporary tables.
It might seem slow and wasteful to create a table (plus indices) just to store results for a fraction of a second, but for very large tables with large indices, creating a smaller index from the baseteable and joining against that can be magnitudes faster!

There is even dedicated syntax for that: CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE. They are local to the connection and will get dropped automatically at the end of the sql session.

They are also great for storing the results of (nondependent) subqueries, because for large sets, not every database is able to find the proper optimizations. Mysql versions < 8 for example.

I really recommend you to try that one. So far I could fix every "query takes too long" problem that resisted other solutions that way.
I suspect that no job lends itself to boundaries well, and that a healthy willingness to enforce them is going to be necessary regardless.
A customer's Mac with a M1 is only 50% faster than my Intel laptop from 2014 at running Rails tests, because they run in a docker container: 50s vs 75s. The difference between the two machines should be much more than that (CPU, RAM, data bus, etc.)

A financial intermediary trusted by the court pledges to pay the court the 250M if SBF flees and the intermediary cannot find him and take him back into custody.

For typical bail amounts i.e., $50k, the intermediary usually demands 10% of the $50k from the defendant (and his friends) as a deposit, but maybe SBF found an intermediary willing to make the pledge to the court for a deposit significantly less than 10% of the 250M.
Interesting! I wonder what kind of philosophy this author has and their outlook on life is. How could it be good to stare into the abyss? Won’t it drive you mad? This must be an interesting read.

> I’m probably not using “stare into the abyss” in the exact same sense Nietzche intended, since I wouldn’t really describe what I’m talking about as “fighting with a monster” or like it has the potential to turn you into a monster. […] as did Elon Musk when he said that

> […] Staring into the abyss means thinking reasonably about things that are uncomfortable to contemplate, like arguments against your religious beliefs, or in favor of breaking up with your partner.

> […] The first time I learned what really exceptional abyss-staring looks like, it was by watching Drew, the CEO of Wave. Starting a company requires a lot of staring into the abyss, because it involves making lots of serious mistakes (building the wrong thing, hiring the wrong person, etc.)

> Nothing can make nothing

Is the implication that technology (like blockchain and digital currencies) and financial operations (like brokerages and exchanges) can create no legitimate wealth? Because I might humbly suggest this forum, which is run by a venture capital firm specializing in technology, might not rush to agree with you.

Less humbly, if you're suggesting labor is what makes things valuable, that's possibly one of the worst ideas in the history of economic thought. SBF might be a fraud, but it doesn't implicate cryptocurrencies, much less capitalism.
Yeah you have to put up cash or collateral nominally worth (presumably in the court's discretion) the amount of the bond. This report seems incorrect.
Ooooo, I gotta check that out. I've never really been much of a podcast kinda guy, but given the CJR's quality, I'd trust it's pretty good as well!

There are documented examples of FBI killings of dissident citizens (e.g. Fred Hampton). This is not even a "possibility".
> That many people think that being poor is a not something that happens by chance, but by people being lazy or dumb

There are certainly motivated, intelligent poor people. But if you don't think lazy & dumb isn't over-represented amongst poor people, then you've been leading an insular life.
double speed?
Combine it with an individual that is eager to learn and willing to treat ChatGPT as unreliable, and it stops being such bad advice.

Just like when one is hiring consultants. Don’t lie to yourself about the situation and there are cases where it can be useful. Treat it like a magic, expensive bullet that will somehow save time and money, and, well, you’ll put your eye out.
i use my apple gen 2 airpods and the noise cancellation is not nothing, but it's all still no match for traffic noise, which is what i really want something for. i do still wear them in the cafe and they help, tho like others, i wonder if they're really just destroying my hearing even faster.

i also have some model of these Jabra call center-type headphones with the slide down/out microphone boom. They don't have active noise cancellation, i don't think?, but they're pretty good at just keeping out outside noise. if i have anything do with it, everyone on my calls/zooms must use a headset and microphone -- i don't want garbage echoing and reverberating and people missing things just because someone is too lazy to get a quality audio setup. ditto podcasts -- 'professional' podcasts and i hear the main show host's voice echoing off his own walls? f** is wrong with you? for my coworkers, we're remote, great, but take this shit seriously, at least on my time. :) these particular Jabras i have are too tight on my ears - i need to see if i can make them clamp with a bit less force.

https://www.jabra.com/business/office-headsets/jabra-evolve/...

getting true hearing-protecting headphones of some type so that i can walk/jog/be on the street without cranking the volume up to eleventy would be so legit. there's a ton of noise, but if we got rid of just car tire noise, we'd probably be good.
yes, amazingly it really is - built in the early 1950's and still works perfectly. Not pretty enough to keep in the house anymore, but still hums away day after day. They truly don't make them like they used to.

Uhhh… what? So what level of rape/murder is appropriate/acceptable for criminals out on bail to commit, statistically speaking of course?

Even for self-hosted I'd rather trust the server as little as necessary. Just in case it is completed why let it see things that it doesn't need to see?
Right, which is why I said possibly the "home server" thing -- but also, I don't turn off my office workstation.

But again -- this is one of those things that's actually pretty easy but for some reason everyone wants to make it out to be difficult. An always on raspberry pi or other repurposed machine running all the time with syncthing is not at all a difficult task.

Out of the many complaints I've seen leveled at Substack, I honestly can't think of a single time where someone was complaining about their default use of single opt-in. That's not to say you're wrong--however, as best as I can tell, it doesn't seem to be much of an annoyance for most people.

I thought that the main problem with the breeder reactor design is the proliferation risk, because they also produce (and can burn) plutonium usable for building a bomb.

I frankly think that these considerations are exaggerated in countries which already have nuclear bombs (like USA, Russia, China, France, UK, India, Pakistan, Israel,..). Japan does not have a nuclear arsenal, but, frankly, a normal nuclear power plant can also produce plutonium, maybe only somehow more visibly, so Japan might have built nuclear warheads on a year or so, had they decided to do so (and violate their Constitution).
You are misunderstanding federalization. People can migrate their account and social graph to a different instance _only_ if the current instance allows them to do that. If you are banned from Mozilla.social - you can't migrate. The instance owns you.
Maybe smaller platforms are healthier. It may be more meaningful for people to participate in smaller systems such as topic-specific forums for, say, Java programmers, or photographers, fans of some book, etc.

I deleted my Twitter in 2017 as I felt it was not healthy. People mostly seem to be asserting membership in this tribe or that tribe and confuse having access to a megaphone with having something to say.

If you express your whole identity consistently and everywhere with everyone online of course you are going to have conflicts with people who will sometimes be offended by something your said. (I have really frightened people in the past, for instance, by singing Frank Zappa songs)

This compartmentalization (put on the hat that "I am a photographer" on the photography site) will get you much better service and help you be focused on helping other members no matter who they are. Insofar as you have a context you will work that in the context of how your attributes affect you as a photographer, how you get hassled as a photographer, what it is you see in the world as a photographer, etc.

On some other forum there is a different presentation of self.

One issue I ran into at my previous employer was pylint on a large Python codebase. Pylint is slow on the best of days, but the difference on an M1 Mac running under docker (to standardize the version and settings across the team) was something like 10x as slow; several *minutes* to lint the codebase, which we absolutely required before code could be checked in. It finally got a lot better when VirtioFS came out, which, when enabled on an arm64 image, sped up filesystem access dramatically; suddenly my lints were taking seconds again.

This is a situation where I actually like to "log in with Google"...

- The information Google gives to the merchant is usually the same that I'd give the merchant anyway to make a purchase even if I wasn't making an account, assuming Google is being truthful when telling me what information it transmits.

- I don't need to worry about whether the merchant properly hashes passwords.

- If my Google account gets closed, it doesn't matter, assuming my goal was to not have an account with the merchant in the first place.

- It's at least as frictionless.

From a typical user’s perspective, macOS puts all Preferences files into ~<username>/Library/Application Support/<app bundle name> or ~<username>/Library/Preferences/<app bundle name>, and they are standard Plist files readable by both command line and GUI tools that ship with the system, so easily editable and human-readable. From a power-user’s perspective, it is a Unix system and that part of it is the usual mess of Unix config files. I’m definitely a power user but rarely have any need to touch a Unix config file on my macOS systems.
There is no requirement under the Chinese National Intelligence Law for intelligence agencies to go through courts for access. There is no due process for those affected. That law also compels companies and citizens to actively assist intelligence agencies.
Well, "worthwhile" is not a natural state to crave (animals in nature just are, they're not concerned with "worthwhile" or "finding joy in little pleasures" and so on).

So, if you still want life to be "worthwhile", you might as well ask it to be meaningful, it's pretty much the same thing, and meaningless is just another way of saying "not worth it".

Or inversely, "life having a meaning" or a "purpose" doesn't mean getting at an "ultimate understanding of life" or getting the "real meaning of life". Just means finding something meanigful (that makes life meaningful) to you. Somebody for example might find the meaning of life in travelling and getting to see the world, or find meaning in relationships as you said.
