> They said “powerful”.

Yes, it was called a "powerful type system".

But a type system with only one type isn't powerful, more the contrary.

https://existentialtype.wordpress.com/2011/03/19/dynamic-lan...

But the now linked page was an interesting read. At least SBCL has indeed real types. I didn't know that until now.

Compile-time type checking

You may provide type information for variables, function arguments etc via `proclaim`, `declaim` and `declare`. However, similar to the `:type` slot introduced in CLOS section, the effects of type declarations are undefined in Lisp standard and are implementation specific. So there is no guarantee that the Lisp compiler will perform compile-time type checking.

However, it is possible, and SBCL is an implementation that does thorough type checking.

Some (all?) electric companies in CA do net metering, where you can sell them your excess electricity at any time and storage essentially becomes their problem.

Unless you walk to that restaurant, it will absolutely be subsidized. 6 percent of all state and local spending is on roads. And that's not counting any negative externalities, which subsidies should be reducing (like, for example, a solar installation subsidy), not increasing.
That makes me wonder if the installation of solar panels on a roof act as "shade" similar to partial tree coverage in some way, since in many cases they add a thin cushion of shaded air between the panel and the roof. I wonder if that provides any meaningful shade or temperature reduction.

Not making an argument either way, I just hadn't really considered if this was a factor until I read your comment.
My parents got me a Commodore 64 when I was 8 years old. It was used, but came with a massive trove of software, including Gortek and the Microchips, which was an introduction to programming in Basic. I checked it out, and when I learned I could make a computer do what I wanted, I was absolutely hooked.
If Russia had any evidence they could contort or doctor to implicate the US they’d do it yesterday. If they had evidence that suggested it without having to contort it, they’d be shouting it from the rooftops.

Not really, a bunch of "lost" crypto money isn't even "stolen"/"transfered" in the traditional sense, it's just lost as in "vanishes from the world because someone did a operational mistake" gone.
Cloudflare, to me, is seen as worlds largest mitm.
There might have been solar optimisers in there as well. They're one per panel, and they're expensive, but they tend to be pushed by installers.
The idea that PV panels become trash in a decade is a lie promulgated by oil companies. According to NREL, reputable panels degrade as little as 0.1% per year, which means they will still be above 90% of rated output after 100 years. The trashiest panels NREL has tested degrade at 1.1% per year which would put them at 75% rated capacity in 25 years.

Pretty much this. The "smart" features of a TV really don't cost much at all, and make a TV a LOT more marketable. Given that perspective, why would a TV manufacturer choose to remove the smart features from the TV? This wouldn't enable them to sell the TV for a lower price.

I see that you tried Julia. You can kind of write DSLs in it using macros. E.g. Turing.jl ( https://turing.ml/dev/ ) off the top of my head. There was a little blog post about it as well ( https://julialang.org/blog/2017/08/dsl/ )
There are better CDNs for image proxies, Stackpath is way nicer than Cloudflare for image hosting and cheap. Plus you don’t have to let them MitM your pages and endpoints.
>Realizing that the solar company was in quite the pickle insofar as repossessing the panels would require costly legal actions on top of paying people to take out the system, I just waited on the payment. They would contact me periodically asking me to make payment and offering to help me get approved for a new loan. But I just ignored all of that.

Seems pretty unethical tbh. The solar company delivered, but now this guy is going to refuse to pay? Sure he did later, but not without blackmailing them for $5k discount.
This is definitely true, but I think there's a clear time-commitment component to it that you're missing in GP's answer: "It's one thing it I say something like "Try this, this, and this. Let me know what works" and then I can get back to my work. But if I'm trying to step you through something and you sometimes reply immediately, sometimes in 5 minutes, sometimes in a half hour, then you get to have calls whenever you want my help from then on"

If the choice for me is going to be spending 5 minutes to help you debug something over screenshare where I can actually look at what's happening and get backtraces, context, poke at things , or it's going to be 10+ messages over an hour and a half, then I think the screenshare is going to be better for the team most of the time, EVEN IF in a vacuum i prefer text-based communication.
I think the opportunity cost of leaving a city like Tokyo for an "unfashionable" one as the article mentions is huge. Seems like it will enforce inequality because rich people won't leave, and people is where opportunities are, friends, partners, co-founders, etc.
It's a tough one. My take though is I would rather be working with somebody who is good for the business who I like less than a person who I like more but is not good for the business. I have wasted my time with salespeople who can't sell or people who solicit the advise of experts and ignore it systematically that I've gotten picky.

AI seems to be the next financial buzzword, after crypto, gig economy, CDO, dotcom, and so on.

I have seen a video a few days ago saying we are coming out of data era and entering the 'Knowledge Era' thank to AI where knowledge is following a logarythmic path. A 'revolution', a 'paradigm shift', and other bubblebabble.

Who was telling that ? A 30 years old startup CEO wearing... a t-shirt and a jeans... You see the pattern.

I'm not an AI specialist, but for what I know, current AI are nothing more than fine tuned statistic algorythm.

Here a is a short french video with english subtitles from arte, the german-french public cultural television, about a painting coming from Midjourney :
https://www.arte.tv/en/videos/110342-003-A/the-world-in-imag...

The video explain very well what AI are able to do (and consequently what they can't do) if you listen (read) carefully what the art historian say about the painting, which received the first price of 2022 collorado art festival.

In short, the painting is nothing new by itself but a patchwork of elements from different period of art history. In other word a statistic average of previous painting, photography, drawing, etc... based on the artist prompts in midjourney.

Not to say the painting is aweful, I personnaly find it's beautiful and could happily put it in my living room, but it definitively shows how current AI works, commented by an historian art specialist which has no ball in AI game.
A 2.5mg/kg dose would be (extrapolating linearly) like a ~200mg dose for a 65-70kg adult. That's wayyy more that most casual users take, probably enough to induce a "k-hole" in the majority of people. Would be a curious to see results for a more realistic dose. Maybe extrapolating linearly is not appropriate however, not a pharmacology expert...
I mentioned this elsewhere, but I think it's a good idea to read the actual text of conways law:

> Any organization that designs a system (defined broadly) will produce _a design whose structure is a copy of the organization's communication structure_.

Organization is the primary method by which we organize communication (indeed, that's its only point). That's why architecture follows organization. It is possible to "break" that boundary by organizing other forms of communication, for example the feature teams of SAFE (not a proponent of safe, just an example).
No, but because they didn't get medical treatment and were often overworked even when injured. I guess I should have clarified that part because I did not mean to fully clone 100% the peasant life-style.
We had solar panels on our last house. Even in the cloudy PNW, we generated enough electricity to cover 100% of our electrical needs. And, the monthly cost of the loan payment was about $30 less than our previous cheapest monthly electrical payment.

Unfortunately our new house doesn't have a roof configuration that allows for solar panels. I wonder if new home architecture and alignment will change to make solar panels work better?
There is typically a ten year warranty on the installation that covers leaks. An installer checks for roof age as part of qualification so you don't put panels on a roof that will age out before the panel warranty (typically 20 years, sometimes 25.)

Roof leaks that are accidental are covered by insurance, and the work to remove or replace the panels is part of that. Typically you adjust your home insurance coverage by the value of the panels when you install them to make sure everything's covered.

That just leaves the chance that the installer work will be good enough to make it ten years but not twenty, and the insurance won't cover the damage. I don't know the odds of that. It seems like it would be infrequent, but what numbers do you use?
I'm known as the nice friend who will tell you hard things. I'm a nice guy who knows how to be a dick when I have to be. I actively work on both being "softer" as I probably have gone a bit too direct, and being more assertive as I can be too easy going. I usually like the balance I've struck, and often have people thank me after I tell them hard, serious stuff. I wish more people could do that, know so many jerks. Being assertive does NOT mean you have to be ass.

> if it kills them, it kills them

This attitude is fine, and I understand it, if it's accompanied by actually letting people fail. Unfortunately, when they do fail, it's the impetus to start yet another social welfare program for people who made terrible decisions, instead of just regulating the terrible decision out of existence to begin with.
Unfortunately where I live (Belgium), this kind of options result in a disqualification of any subsidy. They always require that the install is done by a pro with some certificate (even though DIYing electrics is actually legal here).

I understand that there are reasons for this, but as someone with the qualifications but not the certification, I hate that I have to pay someone else to do things like this.

So if keeping them illegal apparently utterly failed to prevent people from having ready access to them as your anecdote suggests, what was the benefit of keeping them illegal in the first place? Other than funneling government coffers into the prison-industrial complex, itself perpetuating far more tragedy and engendering a far more dangerous society as a result...and not just for your daughter, but for everyone.

Is this for 100% detachment from the grid? Otherwise you need to add cutoffs so you don't kill a lineman, right? Is that a DIY thing?
I’m having trouble following. Presumably the person you’re interrupting is also doing serious-business-focus work.

First off, since you’re the one interrupting them, common courtesy suggests you should try to accommodate their communication preferences.

Second, that five minute call is saving you 45m of text back-and-forth, which lets you get back to focusing faster. Not to mention saving the helper frustration, if you’re regularly leaving five minute gaps between replies.

And not even getting into the pernicious effects of having a culture where pseudo-synchronous instant messaging is broadly preferred over synchronous calls. In such cultures, all communication is so inefficient that everyone is in several conversations at all times; good luck ever achieving focus in that environment. There’s a reason why Cal Newport hates Slack, and he literally wrote the book on focused work.
So how much bandwidth were you using, and what proportion of it was images? Like, is it a obviously cut and dry case or is there actually some ambiguity?

(There's some very good reasons to leave terms a bit vague rather than specified exactly, but then you probably wouldn't expect enforcement in cases that are ambiguous.)
Generically (not always true) red states have that for gun stuff (decriminalized unregistered / federally illegal NFA items) and blue states have that for pot and maybe even something else. It's hard for me to imagine the government will eventually catch up to freedom-leaning on either side, but I agree improvements at the state level is far better than nothing.
I don't know a single person who owns property they don't live on, and you know multiple, and they've all had to evict non-paying tenants? Seems odd.

Yeah? People use MITM because it has large benefits.
These are the nightmare stories for me. So much of the internet depends on these worldwide CDNs that people are bullied into using by DDoS attackers, which, in turn, allows these companies to have a chokehold.

Cloudflare is a "global network built for the cloud" that.... doesn't allow images? Really?

They have partnerships with Backblaze and Wasabi, object storage providers, but wont allow images to be served over their CDN? Really?

They have their own object storage solu--- ohhhhhhh
my partner has panels on her house around boston. They work well. The snow slides off, usually with a great "wump" as it drops 2 stories into the yard. Its acually a little startling at first.

They work better in the summer, but provide most of the house power. Doesn't help much with the EV she got since except in the summer. She got a electric water heater as well.
Ask HN: What's the best Cloudflare alternative for cheap DDoS protection?
In my personal opinion and observation the "bad stuff" is indeed usually what makes food taste good: salt, sugar, starch, fat/oil, MSG, etc. There does not seem to be any way around that. In the end most will try to find a compromise.

I already did long search for a grand alternative. Spices may help some, but the "kick" grows mundane over time.

> find more ways to use electricity

I’m not sure if you were serious with this comment, but for the sake of other readers I wanted to point out this is a legitimate strategy. Many people tend to pair solar with installing mini splits, EV chargers, or some other home upgrade that will offer value at the expense or a higher electric bill. This can make the solar investment make sense where it previously didn’t.
They are very useful when building things properly—a corner stone of civilization if you will.

Precomputed values in a book made things an order of magnitude easier at the job site or battlefield before computers.

Depends what you do for a living. Artists won’t. Civil engineers and artillery software programmers will every day.
> I also can't imagine how people can rate it the best place to live, given the complete lack of public transit and awful road infrastructure.

The lack of cold weather, and no state income tax goes a long way.
Plus, "my expenses went up, so now I can raise prices" isn't supposed to be how markets work.

I'm in the Austin suburbs on Pedernales Electric Coop (not Austin Energy as in the city proper). In 2022 they switched away from net metering to a scheme that pays just over 50% of the cost for power returned to the grid. So I now pay $0.090337/kWh for power consumed from the grid, and am credited only $0.05377/kWh for power returned to the grid.

https://www.pec.coop/your-service/distributed-generation/int...

This has changed the payback equation quite a bit. I'm now incentivized to do everything I can to use the power I generate rather than returning it to the grid, whether running more A/C during daylight, running laundry during the day, or storing it on my Powerwalls for using off hours.

Although the payback equation doesn't really make sense anymore, we're still happy with our decision to install solar + powerwalls because we can run the A/C as much as we want without feeling guilty, and also get a solid backup in case of major storm events like the 2021 winter storms. We both work from home and have an infant so keeping the house comfortable is important.
Fundamentally yes it was a huge shift. Practically, no, you dont need to rewrite a bunch _if_ you followed the upgrade path laid out as I described in my original post. They backported a lot of stuff so that you could do the rewrite incrementally.
Idk, it sound easier for followers to just automatically get notified of a new post instead of having to manually shill it every time.
> I don't even need a TV tuner

ATSC is a pretty awesome standard. There's parts of the newer ATSC standard that even supports 4k over the air. Other parts are more concerning from the data tracking perspective but it seems like there's an opportunity for a SmartTV that actually acts in the user's interest that is actually desirable and has a tuner.
There are more factors involved than home size
Tesla's, and EV's in general, cost too much.

When I do the math, number of miles I drive, cost of gas, cost of maintenance - all the costs associated with car ownership - the projected payoff for a Tesla for me is 20-25 years. I don't think the cars will last that long.

I'm excited about other automakers getting into the fold. If they can get the costs lowered by $15K-$20K then it'll be economically viable.
7-10 years to break even. If the panels last 15 years you'll see a net return of $21,416 on investment of $18,888. If they last 25 years, that net return grows to $48,186. In either case it works out to an annual rate of return of 5%, assuming electricity prices stay the same (BIG ASSUMPTION) and also assuming the weather doesn't change to get cloudier or more violent (also a big assumption).
It's because they're exaggerating or intentionally choosing to believe a simple narrative. Lots of people find they have to make a few decisions that are upsetting, even damaging to others, in order to get ahead.

Maybe when people see this, they assume that because a nice person would never do that, nice people can't get ahead. The truth is that the decision could be more complicated, with some people being helped, when others our damaged. It could be a straightforward decision that anybody in that position has to make.

It's a lot easier to just look at the bad and say nice guys finish last or that leaders must be jerks. The truth is more nuanced and is more like: "Leaders sometimes have to make decision that hurts some people, and will almost always (save for maybe the best of times) be hated by some"

> Perhaps because jealous and petty people are naturally inclined to have contempt for anybody with a higher status than them. By hiding behind platitudes like that, they can conceal the immature motives of their contempt

I have to ask: Are you in management or an executive? This sounds like the version these people would tell themselves to sleep at night. "They just hate me because they're jealous"

It's more that while management is important, many managers wind up being greedy and/or arrogant despite still being a small part of a big puzzle. They're privy to information that we aren't, get higher pay scales, and have an easier time protecting themselves and managing their careers, due to that position of privilege.

They get raised to a higher class and it goes to their head. For some extreme examples you can see the fall from grace of a number of billionaires Musk, Zuckerberg... I'd even add Marc Cuban. What do these people really do that's so special? That's been called into question lately. I appreciate that they took big risks and won, but that doesn't pertain to ongoing projects; in fact, it seems to just give people god complexes.

So it's more the entitlement, privilege, and how it goes to people's heads. Not "jealousy".
California. But also probably they are counting from first missed payment to actual eviction. Usually you don’t start trying to evict the day after rent was due.
