Hurricanes have a lot of energy. In theory we could expend all Earth's currently accessible resources to try controlling them. Barring some impossible to predict breakthroughs we cannot control hurricanes. Just like we (meatbags) cannot travel to other solar systems.
thant's somehting I mentionned in some of my previous answers- this can have both positive and negative impact on the contextual intelligence of your bot, so we're now playing around with that and trying to see if that doesn't have any negative impact on the context-awareness. Do you believe chat-memory incorporation into the context it's something people would need?
You should've said that you want libre software instead. A custom license doesn't really make an open-source project just source-available, you're granted plenty of rights as an user to use that source. Source-available would be much more restrictive than this.

Americans on average eat 400-700 more calories per day than in the 1970's. That explains it pretty well.
Unfortunately, some of the candidate replacement chemicals are very likely to be as bad or worse, but because they haven't yet existed long enough for us to see population effects, we seem to be treating them as better until proven otherwise. PFBS and GenX were touted as being better than PFAS and PFOAS, and in fact now have been proven to be as toxic or worse, and the next generation of replacements now being touted are likely as bad (but yet to be studied sufficiently to state this conclusively).

Instead of looking for products that have certain modern conveniences that require these types of chemicals to manufacturer, I think a better path for people who want to avoid exposure is avoiding these types of unnecessary modern conveniences. There's nearly no reason to use a non-stick pan when cooking, there are many techniques to get nearly as effective cleaning and release from pans which are made from cast iron, carbon steel, and stainless steel without the health risks. There's nearly no reason to use spray waterproof coatings on clothing, when you can instead use inherently waterproof layers or buy clothing from natural fibers with tight weaves, or use traditional methods of waterproofing like wax treatments. There's nearly no reason to use almost any product you find in a cosmetic store because you can choose to simply wash your face regularly, use simple moisturizers and sunscreens (although sunscreen is its own chemical minefield), and go through the necessary mental conditioning to accept yourself as you are (which is generally healthy anyway).

I appreciate the link, but I wish people would do a better cost/benefit analysis when weighing modern conveniences that are enabled by disastrous population level and environmental consequences.
I assume because vehicle collisions have much more morbidity risk, that is not captured in fatality statistics.

I suspect even philosophers are susceptible to the usual social engineering tricks. One doesn't become immune to effects like preferring a speaker with an attractive face just from exposure to Kant.

> I genuinely wonder if an actual house designed by carpenters for carpenters wouldn’t be better? Maybe not more attractive, but better built?

Maybe if they really over-build it, but I don't think carpenters know how to calculate stuff like structural load requirements. I know the building code have some rules of thumb, but I kinda doubt those cover all the situations you'd need to design a home (e.g. how strong does this wall need to be based on all the stuff above supported by it).

> My work laptop is an HP 1040 g8 with the privacy screen. It’s the worst screen I’ve ever used. I think an old TN panel from the early 2000s had more brightness and better viewing angles. I don’t understand how HP tested this and said “yep it’s good for a $2K laptop”.

Well, that's the price you gotta pay for a laptop with privacy protectors - these things are used for restricting viewing angles so that, say, passersby on a train can't read your highly confidential PowerPoint slides full of corporate double-speak and general bullshit... and usually bought and required by organizations who think their corporate double-speak PowerPoints are so uber secret that it is worth making the lifes of their employees measurably worse in exchange.
Ditto. Although I keep thinking about going back to it.

99.9% of the time self hosting is fine. But then a critical business email is never received (like replying to an interview request or business proposal). The worst part is you never even know it failed to be received. The worst offenders are outlook.com and yahoo.com in my experience of self-hosting email for about 10 years. I stopped around 4 years ago after a critical email disappeared and impacted me financially.

Only way to guarantee your emails are always sent and received is to use a major email provider, sadly. Or hire a team to actively look after your domain and make sure large providers are not filtering your emails.

However, given my emails now are pretty much just for personal usage, I may look at moving back to self hosted. Greylisting is the superior approach to spam control imo and you can only get this with self hosted. Mox looks really great and I'll def consider it.
“Every one’s implementation is a little different. Forcing you to read their docs.” So true. It’s almost like there are 31 flavors of OAuth and you might as well tell the developer which flavor you use. Like we use jira flavor or we use stripe!
On the plus side there is a fair amount of conceptual overlap between Elisp and Common Lisp.

Learning Lisp really is more learning a complete development environment; a development philosophy even. Sure you can write Lisp as you would C, editing in a basic editor and then compiling and running the complete program in a a shell, but it’s really missing the point. While that reduces the learning curve significantly, it reduces the benefits even more.

> since electron beam 3D printing is just as fast as using lasers

Interesting. What sort of resolution is that 3D printing though?

> What is the bottleneck in this case?

My guess would be using a single beam? Perhaps it's possible to scale this up to multiple beams working on a die or wafer at a time time?

Which brings up another interesting question. Would this process require the same kind of wafer/substrate as traditional EUV machines? Perhaps using this approach opens up the possibility of using different materials that are easier, cheaper and faster to produce?

Dont't traditional kinds of wafers have to be grown and sliced from exotic/rare materials? If so the additional time to "etch" with this new process might be offset by other factors such as what goes in to preparing the wafer?
You need to have ASDF itself loaded into your Lisp.

Yes one can also load system definitions, they are Lisp code. But usually it is expected that they are found automatically, when calling a system operation (load, compile, ...), when registered correctly.

I had a great time writing common lisp for the better part of 2022, including doing about half of Advent of Code in it. It's such an awesome language and once you get an understanding of macros, it really does feel powerful.

Unfortunately, I hit a bit of a wall. I don't really have any personal projects to work with CL, and if I used CL (or any lisp/scheme dialect for that matter) at work I'd be in trouble.

Nice to have in the back pocket though, and I'm excited to reach for it in the future.

I'm never, ever, ever going to be able to convince my wife cast iron is any good. This is because we have cast iron pans, and she's tried to use them, and finds them entirely terrible. Yes, we've done all the fiddly seasoning and such. I'll cook in them, but she hates the things.

Tiny chance I'll be able to convert her to stainless for most things, but we're never not going to have one teflon pan for eggs and crepes and such.

No, probably not.

Indeed disk space may become an issue (though you can get large disks nowadays; also, if you want to be that big, modifying the code to storage the raw emails (or only the large ones) externally should be worth the time). And if you are that big, you probably want a backup mx, which pretty much requires replicating the index database to another place, which isn't supported yet.

But more importantly, mox doesn't have a spam filter or rate limiter for submitted (outbound) email. So it will currently take 1 compromised account to damage your IP's reputation. It's on my todo list.

I heard dovecot has an option to store messages to s3. It seems to be part of a paid variant.

> how prior use in mathematics or other languages has any bearing

It counts, because it makes it familiar to many people.

Had JS introduced this syntax without it being anywhere else I would be completely with you: it would just be weird and unnecessarily complicated.

I find this syntax very clear too (though I still prefer function () { ... } for most functions). It has the merit to make some code using small functions, often somewhat functional, lighter to read. But this is a matter of taste, of course.
He wrote Dresden Files in a way that his teacher suggested (not with the ideas) to show her how bad her way of writing was. He was wrong.

That's where he learned it was about execution.

The only idea he included, just to kind of rub things in was a "Talking Head" in Bob the Skull. He made a literal talking head that would explain things to Harry, which was a fiction writing "don't" that he purposely violated... to great effect.

She counseled him to take the things he loved--fantasy, and Robert Parker detective novels--and combine them. He had been dead set on making sword-and-sandal high fantasy. He followed her instructions on that, too, and we got Harry Dresden.

While true that all countries had conflicts, most (maybe all?) of the developed world was never pillaged to the extent Africa and South America were. Not to mention a lot of the conflicts between those nations happened "voluntarily" between the fighting countries.

Africa especially, the current country borders were designed based on the division of property between all the European countries invading the natives' lands. That meant several tribes and groups were divided/grouped together, leading to wars that hold to this day. If I'm not mistaken the Rwanda Massacre is the major example of that coming to fruit

The problem tech workers have in the the whole WFH vs RTO debate is that the worker is not arguing from a position of strength. There is a long history behind productive in office work for tech and a short history behind remote work for tech. Whatever productivity gains the worker perceives WFH gives them are either not measurable, not large enough to be noticed by the employer, or not worth other considerations and challenges the employer has to contend with.

For example, if some positions within the organization cannot be performed remotely—as an employer, do I still single out one class of worker to provide a perceived benefit for what may or may not amount to a minor productivity perception gain generally only noticed by the employee? Sure that group is marginally happier, but given time and distance between the WFH and RTO, will the employees just return to the new normal? Usually. However, if I give in and allow WFH do I create a morale problem among other workers who do not have access to that benefit just to kowtow to a group of employees that may (or more likely may not) leave but could be replaced quite easily by equivalent people who do not make that demand?

The aspect of that that's hit me a few times recently is how unusual (but great) it is that it and all other (that I've needed, anyway) pg tools use the same args for connecting to a database in the same way.

Once I realised, I renamed the `psql` wrapper script I'd written (takes an arg for the namespace name, looks up correct RDS host etc. for it) to `pgenv`, adding another argument for the real executable to run (i.e. `psql` is now `pgenv real_psql "$@"`) so it can also be used with dump, upgrade, vacuum...

In such cases, the rapist should be held fully responsible, and punished severely for his horrible crime (at minimum, life in prison + castration + child support).

Depends entirely on your company. At big Orgs (hundreds of teams) it's usually consulting and being compliant with the goals of the overall enterprise architecture. What it's certainly not about if the architect is actually worth their salt - dictating other teams what to do.
You also need to consider the both-sides fallacy: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_balance

Because having two opposing views on something doesn’t automatically mean both are equally biased in their own ways. If you have e.g. a reviewed scientific report on an issue, you will not be better informed if you augment that information with a rant from a bumbling fool.
Honestly we don't need PHP, which we've proven because basically no one uses it for anything other than WordPress, Drupal, and (internally) Facebook now. Facebook may even have finished porting all their PHP to Hack and other languages.

And I am saying that was never the intended purpose of this product from what I read. That was my whole point in my OP.

Edit: This whole thread is goofy. It is the equivalent as saying what if you published your entire internal emails online.
> Open sourcing Lispworks and selling support contracts and an enterprise version (with CAPI, CORBA, etc.) would make more sense.

I don't think it makes any sense, since the market for such complex Lisp systems is tiny. It would not generate a reliable revenue stream for such a niche technology.

It's not that it has not been tried in the past, but all Lisp vendors from the past, and there were a dozen or more with different license models / pricing, have gone. Left are Franz and LispWorks. Both are 30+ years in business.

This is hard to take seriously with such a policy. I think this is just somebody playing around with the OpenAI API.

Saying food is the cause of obesity is boiling down the visible aggregate effect of a million different things into one big cause. I eat pretty much nothing but garbage food -- pizza, wings, burgers, subs: just salt and grease. And I went from 220 to 120 and stayed there doing it. It's a meme at this point that when we go to restaurants with friends it's the skinny people ordering apps and burgers and the overweight people get salads. The difference is that all the skinny people get full and leave half their meal on the plate. For most of my life I was dumbfounded that this could happen and they must be forcing themselves to stop or something but nope, I hit the wall same as the rest of them now. No issues with cholesterol or blood pressure either.

So we 1000% should deal with the amount of crap that's in our food but I don't think it'll be the cure-all that people expect.

I didn't lose any weight doing 90 months of carnivore, so I went all in on the cream :)

Not sure if it's the high protein on carnivore as the recommendation to get all your calories from "fatty beef" (=ribeyes and 80/20 ground beef) still left me with what you'd probably call extremely high protein.
