I am convinced that Lispworks is a great product. From what I can see it comes with a nice IDE and some nice libraries. I would have loved to give it a try, but unfortunately I was never able to do do so. And that is where the critique of the licensing scheme comes from. I am sure there are quite a few professionals for whom Lispworks has great value and the license costs are just a non-issue. But despite being a professional Lisp programmer for more than 15 years, I never came close to licensing Lispworks. Nor in the 20 years of being a Lisp enthusiast.

As an enthusiast, I would be happy to spend a few hundred € for private usage, but not thousands. I would like to be able to really evaluate the product before spending a significant amount of money on it, but with the limits of the personal edition, it immediately quit on the first attempt of starting my back-then tiny hobby project.

Don't get me wrong, a company has the right to select the business model which fits them best and I might not be their intended audience. But that is why I never bought from them and as I never used the product didn't really put under strong consideration when choosing a Lisp implementation for commercial work.

On the other side, with SBCL I have a really strong Lisp implementation. The compiler is likely to produce better code and it is readily available. Slime might lack the fanciness of a standalone IDE, but as a longtime Emacs user, that might actually be an advantage.

I'm moving to a Mac Mini and an iPad Pro. More expensive? Maybe. I just don't need to carry around an extra keyboard, screen, and battery that could go bad. Tablets are so good these days that laptops make little sense IMO.

Yes exactly, we kinda needed it ourselves tbh, I just used it yesterday again to prep an investor meeting and it went great.
Just a bit jealous. We didn't have compos back when people mistakenly double clicked web site links. Was almost forced into using a barely templatable database engine.
From my own experience maintaining a mail server for over a decade, I do not agree with this.

The time between any tweaks needed is large enough that I completely forget how it was set up and need to relearn stuff. And it's definitely not trivial, so I can't do that in 5minutes (the way I can with acme/letsencrypt, for example).

In the same way that caddy just makes web server setup easy, it's good to have a modern setup supported out of the box for mail as well.

Your work is skimping on the battery. My work machine (a Precision 7550) easily runs all work day on battery, even with horrible battery hogs like Microsoft Teams running.

One thing to watch out for: Sometimes the audio driver starts busywaiting after you wake from suspend if you have been using bluetooth. You have to manually kill it in the task manager or it will drain your battery in an hour. You can tell when it happens because the laptop gets hot and the fan starts spinning even though you're not pushing it at all.
Here on Long Island, it tends to be the opposite.

Few if any programs actually used segmented memory in MS-DOS as segmented memory. C compilers of the era combined both fields into 20-bit pointers. Pointer arithmetic was kind of messy but had compiler support.
But then you're shifting your trust from your ISP to the VPN provider. So it makes sense only if you have good reasons to not trust your ISP. Personally I only use a VPN when I'm connected to a public WiFi network.
so you saying there would be a bot that would sound like you and "put someone through". I would be frankly confused if I tried to reach you

Any idea how it compares to xv6?
For the most part sure.

But there are situations where the HELOC will either be hard to get. For example, you may own the house outright but have very very low income. Or the bank may not be willing to view the land in the same light as potential developers.

"House rich, cash poor" is generally convertible into "have mortgage, and cash", but it is still a distinct condition from "Income rich, have mortgage", especially for low income folks.
Hey superzadeh,

Hard problem to tackle, for sure! Currently, we're doing mainly 2 things:
1) we're pushing hard on making sure that our content comes from a diverse group of experts (Bunchee is referencing the tips/content from our library, which is the main difference to ChatGTP)
2) we're also working on assembling a diverse panel of coaches, to diversify the perspectives and PoVs of those that "train" Bunchee.

And we're open about the fact that she is limited and may give harmful or biased advice.
This and also co-pilot. I was very sceptical about this tool, but installed it as a plugin for VSCode.

Sometimes I feel it reads my mind. It's of course wrong many times, but the way it autocompletes code means, I am no longer hesitant writing a lot of code just to try things out, as it is much more enjoyable - this combined with ChatGPT really feels like having a superpower.
I'm honestly looking forwards to the EU digital identity. From both the user and the developer side I don't want to deal with a process where one can either spawn a million accounts in 5 minutes or be subjected to validation processes full of false positives and negatives.

Portmortem of What Ails Google
I'm not surprised to hear the Vikings went where the money was. The epic Beowulf describes Hrothgar as a Danish king who would give generously of his treasure in order to recruit the strongest, fiercest warriors (hence the kenning "ring-giver"). I always thought there were considerable parallels between this and the tech industry, at least when times were good and interest rates low.
Intuitively it makes sense that certain nodes only "activate" when the concept/feature that they have learned is actually present in the input.

What's Our Problem – a self-help book for societies
As a software dev in LATAM, you could get compensation anchored to "LATAM standards" for a multinational or nearshore company but you can even get over $80K+ USD compensation. Anecdotally the highest I have seen been willing to paid has been like 160K USD. Going over that has been difficult, what I have seen is that over that range is expected you work on higher roles, let's say CTO and there might be some condition that you move to the US at some point in the future.

You do need to sell yourself well, great technical and communication skills but possible.

Additionally, there's an additional consideration: Will they hire you as a contractor or employee? Contractor would open these rates. Employee hires is easier to get you caged to LATAM rates, why? Because they would hire you with a LATAM subsidiary and they incur additional costs that may be transparent for you (but still there might be benefits for you even with the rate cut). Not all companies have the expertise and appetite to have a LATAM subsidiary or a third party doing this for them. The same with contracting, some companies will have the appetite of doing certain type of arrangements.

It would be really rare they hire you as an "employee" for US based company as you would need US work authorization plus you would be "simulating" that you live in the US.

There are downsides and upsides in contracting vs being an employee, local laws requirements, obligations, rights so you would need to do this research.

There may be even immigration considerations to consider in both scenarios.

By the way, central america is too general to make specific recommendations.
Most startups are clueless and ignorant about data governance.
I guess you could subsidize your users like how you subsidize their web hosting costs, eg, when you let them upload and share photos.

It seems as though products geared around some kind of digital asset would expect users to be buying and selling and therefore already prepared to have some kind of money.
I'll take your word for it. Most of my time is spent on a tethered machine.

I also suspect that it depends on what is being done. I'll bet that some types of languages compile hot, while others, cool.

UPDATE: I just ran Xcode, doing my basic daily tasks (editing and building), using Activity Monitor, and it was pretty mild. It had a HUGE spike, as it started up, then dropped into single- and double-digits, after that.

The universe ends when entropy reaches maximum and all information takes the form of popular science articles.
Depends on the cloud.

Looking at Supabase, I think it would be a good choice for most startups[0] and it will scale as the business does, but it removes most of the overhead of getting started. It has Auth, A database, Lambda Support, CDN and File Storage. Baked in are REST APIs and GraphQL APIs out of the box.

Its reasonably well priced and there's little friction on setting up and far, far less to worry about hosting wise. No need to setup a box and maintain updates etc, and it can scale if the business really does scale.

I don't think all cloud propositions are the same. AWS, GCP (maybe sans Firebase?) and Azure definitely have their place but I don't think they're great for the average startup.

The real question is, why weren't these illegal donations found and red flagged well before he blew up so publicly and the feds started picking through his financial life with a fine toothed comb?

The fact that they're just being uncovered now, and probably would have gone under the radar if he didn't blow up, signals to me that this kind of illegal donation happens all the time by the wealth class without getting caught and prosecuted, either because it's just that hard to detect, because it's nobody's job to care, or because the watchdogs actively don't care because all of their handlers do it too.

I agree for casual browsing, but just curious for any service that requires providing some other piece of identifiable info (eg a site you have an account with and login to, or buying something online and entering your delivery address), what is a VPN helping with other than hiding that activity from your ISP (which may be what you're going for, but just curious)? Once you identify yourself to a website or online service via typical means, how is the IP anonymity a VPN provides helping?

> "the layoffs is taking place"

> i'm no English expert, but I can't take seriously an article with grammar errors :/

It's arguably a regional/dialect distinction. Here "layoffs" is being treated as a collective noun, similar to how people say "the data is" instead of "the data are". Notice how people usually say "layoffs" when referring to the entire round.

English has less dialectal variation than most languages, so English speakers (particularly educated British or American speakers) aren't used to seeing it, but collectivization of nouns is one of the more common ones to spot. If you pay attention, you'll start seeing other examples here and there.
And if the universe is imperceptibly deterministic?

The Bay Area has a whole is nowhere near carrying capacity, what?

We "stop" where it is natural to, like any other place in human history: lack of resources, lack of space*, there's better places to move to, etc. And if the only thing holding back the Bay Area's development is artificial zoning laws -- we are certainly not at its "natural" equilibrium.

While CA has had its generational water supply issues, only 10% of it is used for residential purposes; 90% of it is used for agriculture. Adding more people in SF, or Palo Alto or Berkeley, does not put special strain on CA versus anywhere else. Not to mention, single family homes often consume _much_ more water per family than those in apartments or condos (yards, many bathrooms, etc).

*Lack of space, for what is a _city_, is not "it's too populated here for me to have a backyard without paying a ton of money"
> My understanding was that if any court had litigated the issue at all, then the QI drops away.

I'm not sure why this would be so given the way precedent works in US courts: since SCOTUS denied cert in this case, none of this applies outside the Sixth Circuit. Even within the Sixth Circuit, it's not clear that the same set of facts should pierce QI as long as the PC can be reasonably justified, an area where courts give police extremely broad latitude.

Interesting! Thank you for the links. I was thinking of intercropping; hadn't properly considered hydroponics.

It does seem like hydroponics is drastically superior for space and water efficiency, though the comparison study I'm looking at claims it takes 82x the electricity[0] (though it's from a different climate).

No disagreements on birds. Industrial farming may be efficient, but it's extraordinarily destructive to the local system.

In a reclaimed farm I volunteered at, the heavy machinery compacted the soil so thoroughly that "regular" plants couldn't grow there until after years of dedicated soil-rejuvenation projects (and therefore it was difficult to get local flora/fauna to return, even when making an active effort). A lot of the effects of industrial agriculture last longer than I naively expected.

Whats crazy is how embedded in the democratic party his parents are. Its hard for me to imagine they didn't have some kind of input on all this "donating". They are also top lawyers, so they would have known this was illegal.
No, probably not. Your $5 VPS is going to be dedicated to you. The VPS provider is going to provide no privacy guarantees to you and will easily be able to associate requests for your information with your VPS. They will have no issue providing it to whomever asks for it.

In addition, your traffic will be the only thing coming from that VPS, so tying network information to you will be easier.

The key thing to remember about VPNs is that you are re-positioning your trust. Instead of trusting your ISP with your traffic, you are trusting the VPN provider. A hosting provider is about as trustworthy with your traffic as an ISP, and offers the same amount of pseudo-anonymity. It's a lateral move at best.
I don't take medication now but I think a year or two of medication can be very helpful. You can think of medication as a temporary tool to help build the habits.

Well all I want is to know if I buy Milk it is 100% Dairy Milk. I think Oat and Soy "Milk" taste real bad. Right now seems that is the case.

In my European country, you can only mail money via insured mail. Otherwise it’s prohibited.

I assume it’s to avoid responsibility and money laundering.

From what I see there are limits on the amount of cash you can mail in the US as well.

I was under the impression that electron beam could fundamentally get much smaller than light (electrons are “smaller” than photons in some funky physics sense), but was just really slow.

Also (fuzzy memories of semiconductor classes, but) the size doesn’t tell the whole story, right? With photons I’m under the impression that the wavelength of the light is much higher than the feature size, so they have to do funky things with the masks to make it all work out. Playing with interference or whatever. (Someone who knows more about this can feel free to embarrass me, I’m sure it will be educational!)

Electrons are relatively speaking more like the nice little billiards ball thwacking away at the SI that we like to imagine.
Thinking about this kind of low level stuff sometimes is exhausting. Of course it is basic, but since it is basic why should I even think about it.

It's like trying to bake a pizza and having to think how to grow tomatoes.

If ChatGPT can free you up from thinking about the basics, you can channel your energy into some more advanced concepts.

He decided instead to quit and pursue his idea to start Feasier, a platform that aggregates home furnishing listings from different stores into one place.

So...what's the moat? Why can't anyone build a clone sight and come in with slightly cheaper shipping and undercut his business?

Or this -

Zhu says she is working every day on Maida AI, which automates health care administration tasks like patient intake and note-taking.

From what I know of the current health care tech situation, everything uses EPIC which is terrible technology, but it's entrenched because it follows regulation and probably pays off some senators/regulators/insurance companies - much like every DOD government project. So unless her product can follow every regulation as well as EPIC (it can't) she can't win in an entrenched market that has a moat she can't cross.

I don't doubt there are a bunch of unemployed web developers out there (I'm one), and a lot of VC money that doesn't know what to do after crypto imploded, but these are uninspiring. Of the thousands of web dev companies maybe one will become popular, but it would be from random chance. This just sounds like a bunch of unemployed and desperate people buying lottery tickets, but with computers.

The people who are going to make money are the people who are able to corner the energy market or the server and computation market. The innovations will be from a few brilliant academics who make the next transformer model or the next quantum computing model and so forth, which makes up a few thousand people. The "democratization" of the internet just now means everyone is equally broke. Shit, you can make websites now by drawing them and then having an AI make the code (as edge-case clunky as that is). So anyone with a Bamboo pad and a "million dollar" idea can draw one up and buy a web address.

So what?
