for my use case its just that the common lisp compilers, SBCL in particular, blow anything Clojure or Scheme/Racket has to offer. on the other hand the stability of the language should not be underestimated, but this is something you feel after years of use

on the other hand i think the common lisp development culture is very different to the black box library plug&play culture of other languages. if you find that you like to extend/personalise libraries it is a great language and i find the code to be much more comprehensible than the libraries from other languages i use. of course this is all a bit more demanding on the developer but for me the rewards are worth it

The wind off Chicago is some of the best in the US for sailing. its cold, but its great. In fact, we have produced some of the most competitive small boat sailors in the world, and have even hosted big boat stuff like the americas cup.

I used to be a race coach for small boat sailing - happy to give lessons

If you want to go sailing this summer, Id be more than happy to show you how!
I dodged a somewhat similar experience with Zoom. Took a contract with a company, and they tried to adopt my personal zoom account into their organisation (I was a contractor, so I was using my own email address while working for them). Fortunately I realised this might be annoying down the road and sent them an alias to use instead, but I imagine other people could get into strife - not that a Zoom account is a big deal and they seem to have better processes in place so it's possible it's easy to resolve, but it could easily cause a headache for a less tech savvy user.

In general, be careful what you click agree to (I know, I know)

The example of oranges going up in price and apples down is not inflation.

Inflation is an overall erosion of buying power.

When oil prices rise that’s not inflation, although prices might rise.
I don't know what you are reading but the sun is absolutely not a stellar remnant. It really should not have much iron in it as it is still happily fusing hydrogen. Stars don't create iron until they run out of hydrogen.

I have built https://microsaasidea.com to 25,000 subscribers and is one of the fastest growing newsletters around SaaS. The newsletter talks about various niches that Micro SaaS builders can pick up. It kind of covers various Micro SaaS trends, opportunities, technical chops, marketing chops, cost analysis for every niche. We have more than 1000 ideas covered with data points and it's growing fast.

I recently also attached a closed community for the subscribers where we talk about a lot of experiments, MVPs and trends.
Doesn’t necessarily make it a bad idea to try again. It seems that photolithography as a process is stretched to its limits. Easy to see the diminishing returns. The electron beam lithography is a different kind of process. It seems like it’s precise enough, just slow. That sounds like good news to me. “Make it go faster” is something we typically can achieve.

Let’s see how long it takes until Deno is just NodeJS Mark 2, with little value of adopting it.

Hopefully the answer is never,

My suspicion is that what's happened here is that Jeff's daughter has used his laptop for something from school and clicked straight through an overly-inviting message that asked to join the account to the school's domain.

I'm skeptical of the suggestion that the school admins were able to do this with no input, but I'm absolutely willing to entertain the idea that:

a) AD login is a complete mess, and

b) the UI is utterly misleading and near-unusable.

2. You think ~everyone/most have ISP-NAT (hint nearly ~no one has it and IPv6 is a thing too (hint 2. those are 38% worldwide))

But you care about uniqueness because of ad-blockers who are used by ~40% of all users, but a IP is "not" unique, nor the browser, OS, resolution and GPU and the combination of all those factors, but NONO the Adblocker is the problem.

Ask HN: Is the name R2 short enough to be free of trademark?
If so, it would be amazing if those of us who feel like it could name our chatbot projects "My Cool Chatbot RELEASE 2" and say "Hey R2" for the wake phrase, even for commercial use!

I do feel that there should be a strong case to be made that 2 characters should not be a long enough name to qualify as brandable.

I hope so; would love to hear from you all! If this is legal I am ABSOLUTELY going to release various bots called R2. One of the best things about the R2 name is it feels gender neutral, which is beneficial as a default:

Twitter Careers Page Redesign
I'd be interested to hear how you'd get the usability to be as good as an operating system designed to be used with a remote running apps designed to be run with a remote.

Having to use a mouse and keyboard is a pain point for me when I use my desktop on my TV from the couch. For the mouse I use the trackpad on a ps5 controller, so the mouse isn't so bad.

Possibly you could:
* Not require passwords for everyday operation of your computer
* Boot into some sort of launcher designed for televisions
* Have a fairly narrow set of apps and services that work well with your setup. For example I don't know how you'd use Netflix or Disney plus with a remote on Linux.

> you turn it around

No, you misunderstood. I wrote that what you call downplaying is actually «raising alarms over masses building shrines», and I did not mean /you/ specifically. I wrote «masses».

> to say that chatGPT is not intelligence

If it is there, it is not substantially expressed. If there are minority workings, they remain drowned. The final effect is that of definite unintelligence. The point of intelligence is to base statements on an investigative refined ontology: if it is there somewhere, it is in some technical bits which are not emergent.

> You do not have ... to say

First of all, on the personal level: mh. On the substance: you can take the term "intelligence" to make it mean whatever suits some wish to call anything intelligent, but it remains finally operationally irrelevant.

...

And all of these three points converge again in the substance, because only yesterday a "message to the world" from a leading figure came out spreading word to the peoples that "do not fear the epochal switch in which these new latest technologies will aid your decision": that is emergent deliriousness - no, we do not base decisions on the output of lunatics - and must be regarded as a terrifying undercurrent of widespread madness. "«Raising alarms»". We have been studying Decision Support Systems since forever, and they have requirements.
There are several failure modes I see from lack of big picture thinking:

- A system is left running for years even though we no longer need it as a business. Millions of dollars wasted because no one had a ticket for "think about whether we still need system X" so no one thought about it. (This one happens a LOT, oh my lord.)

- Two teams solving the same problem in different ways. They each hit their goals and people get promoted and so forth. But the business ends up silently paying double, and we all have to deal we extra cognitive overhead from the redundancy, which slows us down.

- Excessively manual processes. People clock in and fix support issues all day instead of re-engineering the thing to be more automated and self-service. But again, everyone's doing their tasks as specified, promotions all around.

They wrote there that they were looking at Elixir because they did not like the direction Python had taken. I'm sure Python can do the same as JS but Elixir is just so much nicer. Which is also my experience.

Your point obviously stands, pretty much all of mentioned can do the job.
Typing fast for sport is fun, that I understand. But it's really weird (to me at least) how most developers say that measuring lines of code as a performance metric is an awful idea, and then there are others that more or less kinda shame people for not being good or great typists.

Am I crazy? Isn't it conflicting? Maybe those two groups don't overlap at all? Then do great typists believe measuring lines of code to be a good idea?

And being proficient at using your code editor doesn't require or exclude being fast at typing. Between the two I personally would chose mastery of vim/emacs or some other IDE over having a typing speed faster than 80 WPM. Sure, both would be great, but if I have to choose one I know which I prefer.

Full disclosure: I type on a QWERTY layout at an average of 65 WPM.

One thing I'd add is that some stuff like Home Row Mods, Caps Lock as ESC and enhancements like that seem to me like a larger productivity booster than the jump from 70 WPM to 100 WPM. But even so I might be wrong on that because I personally haven't experienced writing faster than 70 something WPM at my best.

Anyway, rant over and I apologize if I come off as rough. It's just something that's been nagging at the back of my mind and I still don't know how to properly put it into words.
However, if you're just starting out as a developer, it can be nearly impossible to build a complete project with what you learn. You'll have to stack layers upon layers to create a full-stack project. Learn React and build a site. Cool. Does it need to be even better? Build with Next.js.

A self inflicted shooting injury to the face. Even if accidental the cause is still so grotesquely negligent that sympathy is absent. Why on Earth would anybody make the blanket assumptions that these layers of third party tools are somehow required? As a JavaScript developer who enjoys the language I loath the blind reliance on this insanity.

Is vanilla JavaScript really that scary? If that’s not the cause of these blanket assumptions then what is? Is vanity or trend chasing?
I had a very similar experience with my former employer and the proof of concept tenant they setup for Office 365.

My personal account was tied to that tenant, and whenever I tried to register an app - it was access denied. They even give you an option in the app registration interface in Azure: whether you want it to be in the company tenant or linked to your personal account. Regardless of what I tried, access denied. After a few weeks of this, I attempted to “Leave” the proof of concept tenant.

Yes, I clicked the scary leave button that tells you your data will be deleted. Access denied.

One of the options Microsoft suggests is to get in contact with the global admins to help out. Considering that tenant was abandoned 8 years ago, it was going to be difficult to get in contact with the global admins. I even contacted my former employer and requested they remove me. Their response? “We abandoned that tenant years ago, no one can access it”.

I created a support case with Microsoft for their Azure AD service requesting they remove my account from the tenant.

After some back and forth, repeating myself a few times, trying to explain what I save wanted to do in multiple different ways, and a screen share, I still wasn’t able to leave the organization. The case was escalated, and eventually I got on a call with the support rep and a manager.

We went through the “leave the organization” process together, and miraculously, it allowed me to leave. This was several months ago, by the way, and no data loss with my personal account that I can tell (so far), although I can’t guarantee when you click that scary button, your data will be safe.

I’m not sure what technical witchcraft took place for this to happen, because it was the exact same set of steps I had tried 25 times before. My only point in this story is to say it would probably be worth a shot creating a support case with their Azure team, and being a squeaky wheel, in the behemoth cog that is Microsoft, that gets the grease.
Depending on what kind of programming you're doing. I think it's fairly command in sysadmin stuff. But I can't imainge doing, say, Android development in vim. (Of course it's physicall possible, but...)
Non exhaustive list of things that drive inflation, ranked by how curious I find them:

1. A widespread belief that prices will increase (sometimes called inertial inflation). This is also deeply tied to public trust in monetary policy.

2. Increase of prices to accommodate increase in uncertainty that a business plan will be fulfilled, for whatever reason (distrust in institutions, unpredictable government, decline of shared infrastructure).

3. Increase in "Monetary supply", aka how much money is available in the economy. This includes increased Government spending, printing bills and bank leverage (i.e. for every dollar deposited in banks, how many times was it loaned out to someone else?).
> considered their advances in computing during World War 2 to be so important that they hid them and left the USA to capitalise on the innovation

Can you expand on that or provide a link? The codebreaking work (Colossus) was kept secret until the 70s but the researchers involved went on to successful academic and commercial projects immediately after the war, with ENIAC (a more general machine than Colossus) built in 1946. The story of the UK's computer manufacturing industry over the ensuing decades is a sad one, but I'm not convinced government secrecy over WW2 technology had much to do with it. I'm no historian, though, so perhaps you can set me right.
Now you’ve got me curious! Is that a recommendation for Lidl or just the one you find convenient?
Brexit is a symptom of the underlying incompetence of the British political class, not a cause.
Yeah. Im sure global inflation has nothing to with cheap almost unlimited credit created by central banks around the world all around the same time. Including the one responsible for the world reserve currency: the USD.

I mean, if a large group of people with income x, suddenly have access to 2x more credit for a mortgage that would do nothing to say... housing prices right?

It blows my mind how media so succesfully can completely steer away everybody from the quite obvious root cause with essentially "hey look, Putin, covid and a Chinese balloon".
I disagree. I have worked through exactly this proposition and I just left. Why would anyone that respects themselves work through a project that is set up to fail? If upper management cannot make up their internal politics, I don't want to be someone's pawn to be sacrificed for the greater good. After all, the right decision could be made from the beginning.
If we take the legal definition of malice then it might. I like this definition of malice[1]:

> malice is a condition of the mind which shows a heart regardless of social duty and fatally bent on mischief, the existence of which is inferred from acts committed or words spoken.

Negligence and recklessness are often considered acts of malice, especially when stemming from wilful blindness.

The mischief here is the problem with the account, we (those commenting on this page) have no confidence in Microsoft to improve it (they are fatally bent), as they clearly don't consider it a social duty and are surely wilfully blind to it. Does anyone here think they want to know, let alone care?

Because you normally need to use a framework + the front-end ecosystem and it's hard (as in: not something you can improvise, you need to be good at it and have years of experience in it). Many developers on the back-end think that the website should be a thin veneer over a service. When they find out they can't just hack on it, but they need to learn React/npm/react-router/table virtualization/some component framework they get irritated because they've always seen front-end as a "lower" discipline for "worse" developers. That said, a well-written SPA is able to express a class of web-based applications that, if written well, are indistinguishable from normal web pages (with anchors etc) but can do much more things than a traditional server generated web page. Since native apps are essentially living in paid, closed, walled gardens, long live SPAs.

The best way to understand that GPT has no true sense of anything is asking it something absurd from a fringe but well defined subject (i.e. high-level maths).

Prompt examples (as homework), one after another.

> Please explain why a gaussian topos is not differentiable.

> Please explain why a gaussian topos is c-infinity.

> Please explain why an eulerian topos is not euclidean.

All three prompts are nonsensical but it always tries to make sense of them instead of just plainly saying I do kot know, or “totally unrelated”.
That's not very realistic, but it is fun to imagine.
