GSM is not available on AT&T or Verizon and T-Mobile is ending GSM support in under a year. Right now T-Mobile's GSM is running in a 200Khz carrier in the guard bands of LTE, making it perform worse due to the narrow bandwidth which means your allocated fewer timeslots which limits message throughput, and interference from the LTE carrier directly beside it degrades signal quality as well.

Nevermind most GSM stacks crash when receiving/sending many messages quickly, they aren't designed for high throughput messaging.

Sending via a carrier's multi-device calling/texting option where you bypass their cell network and connect to their servers over the web, or using VoLTE or VoNR is going to perform much better than GSM

Desert pavement is incredibly fragile.

I lived in a high desert environment in central New Mexico for 10 years. You can see where the tracks of off road vehicles can stay in place for ten years. It takes a long time to regenerate the kind of ground that may eventually give way to grasses . Very slow process.
klisp is the most complete implementation I've used. Website is now down and original bitbucket host too, but mirror here: https://github.com/dbohdan/klisp

For slightly better performance, there's bronze-age-lisp, which uses klisp and x86 assembly. Mirror: https://github.com/ghosthamlet/bronze-age-lisp

Performance will never be great due to the nature of the language, which is incompatible with usual forms of compilation.

I'll try to give a brief explanation of wrap and unwrap.

A combination is of the form `(combiner combiniends)`, where combiner must be either an operative or applicative. In the case that it is operative, the combiniends are passed verbatim to the operative, without being reduced. If the combiner is applicative, the combiniends are reduced, by evaluating each item in the list using the metacircular evaluator, until a list of arguments is returned. The arguments are then passed to the underlying combiner of the applicative.

Operatives are constructed using `$vau`, and applicatives by using `wrap` on another combiner. Usually the underlying combiner is operative, but the language used in the report is clearly permitting you to wrap other applicatives too, so in the case that you evaluate an applicative whose underlying combiner is applicative, and the underlying combiner of that is operative, then the list of combiniends would be reduced twice before being passed to the final operative. I've honestly not encountered a single use-case for this in my time using Kernel, but who knows. It might just be easier to consider that `wrap` wraps operatives into applicatives.

The description of the evaluator from section 3 of the report is a pretty clear explanation of what happens.

* If the expression to be evaluated is a pair, then:
* The car of the pair must be a combiner
* If the combiner is operative, call the operative with the cdr of the pair
* If the combiner is applicative, evaluate cdr of the pair to produce an argument list 'd. eval the cons of the the underlying combiner of the applicative with 'd.

($define! eval
($lambda (o e)
($if (not (environment? e)) (exit))
($if (pair? o)
($let ((c (car o)))
($if (operative? c)
(call c (cdr o) e)
($if (applicative? c)
(eval (cons (unwrap c) (eval-list (cdr o) e)) e)
(error "not a combiner in combiner position"))))
o)))

($define! eval-list
($lambda (l e)
($if (null? l)
()
($if (pair? l)
(cons (eval (car l) e)
(eval-list (cdr l) e)
(error "operand to applicative must be a list"))))))

It's worth listening to, or at least reading the transcript, just for the Dave Winer burn. (And so much more!)

>Adam: That was it. That was the creation of JSON, which everyone is using today. But back then, everyone rejected it.

>In some ways it was a marketing problem. On one side, you had Doug, trying to convince customers that they can build interactive applications on the web using JavaScript and this simple thing called JSON. But on the other side, you had XML that had these big companies behind it, IBM, Microsoft, and big consultants. And later they even had some tech influencers like Dave Winer.

>Douglas: He’s someone who should have known better. He had a website called scripting.com. His style of scripting came from a clever program that he had written for the Macintosh called Frontier, in which he had a scripting language and an outliner and a word processor and a database, all in one program. And the idea was that you could do virtually anything in Frontier with a little bit of scripting. And he was also one of the big promoters of SOAP, the Simple Object Annoying Protocol.

>I don’t remember what the A was, but it might have been atrocious or abominable, I don’t know.

>But SOAP was a big deal at the time. They were right in wanting simplicity. They didn’t accomplish it, but they put simplicity in the name as sort of an aspirational thing. And so, when I started showing how JSON works, he was really threatened by that. And on his website, which was well-read at the time, he complained that, “this isn’t even XML. We should find who did this in string them up now”, which was a really ugly thing to say.

>Fortunately, nobody listens to Dave Winer, so I’m still here.

Dave's done some brilliant influential stuff, which Doug credits and I've written about before, but being annoying is Dave's brand, so Doug's "SOAP" joke is dead on. It's just as fair as referring to Marc Canter's "People Aggregator" as "People Aggravator".

Absolutely loved that interview. So much of current tools we use seem to come from nowhere, but no, there are talented visionaries behind them with very clear ideas of what good looks like and an ability to materialize it. Thankfully some of them succeed.

But its a painful slow process as there are not enough of them practical innovators. Big corp and consultants have an amazing ability to keep things stagnant for ages and milk complexity.

But the json revolution is definitely unfinished. Standards are important and so many domains have adopted XML already. A practical way to jsonify all these specs would be really useful.
I used to do that very custom setup for a few years... Lately I've settled for https://starship.rs/ doesn't matter the shell the experience is the same. I find it difficult sometimes to use loops or variable creation on fish, so jumping to bash real quick without changing experience is so convenient... Another thing I don't like is that if I create a one liner at work to process batches of files/hosts in fish, then I must translate that to bash in wikis, otherwise people would be forced to use fish to replicate...
> I don't think your conclusion that this loop doesn't accelerate the greenhouse effect is correct

It's not like mammalian herbivores are a recent invention. If a constant amount of mammalian herbivores in the world would cause a constant acceleration of greenhouse effect then the greenhouse effect would have increased exponentially for millions of years already. That has not been the case.

If you increase the number of mammalian herbivores in the world then the greenhouse effect will increase for about a decade because of increasing levels of methane. After a decade, the methane level (and therefore the greenhouse effect) will have found a new (higher) equilibrium and no longer increase.
I wonder how that works in other fields. Is it an appeal to authority if one buys things by reading reviews? Does everyone always afford the time or the money to try each thing themselves to decide this is the one they want? Should people never look at the manufacturer brand before making a purchase?
> The Soviets abandoned that project because they couldn't get their 30 engines to synchronize. Maybe this time AI (c) will help solve the problem. We will watch and see.

Worth mentioning that N-1 was severely limited by the state of electronics technology in late 60s Soviet Union. The first 3 launches of the N-1 rocket didn't even have a digital flight computer, they relied on an [analogue system](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N1_(rocket)#Engine_control_sys...).

The Space Falcon Heavy uses 27 engines and it has a perfect reliability record over five launches. Having many engines on a rocket is a solved problem and it even brings some advantages - you can still reach orbit if you lose one or two of them.
No, the changes were much larger than that, but recall from the climategate emails that they spent a lot of time trying to find ways to cover up the data around that. Look into the history of "hockey stick" graphs to see just how far they go. Historical evidence from outside their field shows there must have been changes of many degrees in the relatively recent past, e.g. bison fossils at altitudes indicating 5-6 degrees warmer than today with no runaway feedback loops and obviously, subsequent cooling.

> I have the impression that you just overlook all the rest of the things that can go wrong when using Bash, because you are simply used to it, you know it and you know how it will behave

I don't write much of bash or fish, I mean scripts written by others. Encounter cryptic error messages then realize script is just assuming shell is POSIX

Starship plenty fast for me. You say it's completely different than OMF but from what I see they both exist to customize your prompt, no?
In my case, it was two clicks in the carrier's web interface and I got the new QR code showed me and even sent by email. No upgrades, no dark patterns, just presented a QR code, I scanned it, worked. It took like 2 minutes
The issue about distribution is never the technical aspect you are describing, it's about getting people to visit that website/app store in the first place. If it were that aspect aspect companies like T-Mobile, Equinix, Vodafone, Orange would dominate it. Even after the the app store is available in Europe, these companies have no chance of success.

That is what it looks like will be very undesirable because it will be fragmented and competing with an all-world app store that is bundled with iOS. If you were a developer you would prefer 1000 sales at 30% cut, vs 5 sales with a 0% (supposedly still 30% if the chatter is right on Apple charging for sideloading) cut, so that would kind of feedback loop and make less people list on those app stores, which in turn makes them undesirable.
> The prime example is that apple gives apps unfettered access to network connections. (…) You cannot even find out what apps are doing.

Settings -> Privacy & Security -> App Privacy Report

It shows you per application what data they are accessing, which sensors they are accessing and which domains the app is contacting. It also reports when they were doing this and how often. You can even export this data as a JSON file.
I have a similar sentiment towards ‘what would I be doing if I had this much money on the side’ aka totally risk free life (from the financial perspective) as you do. There is just so much stuff to explore and tinker around and yet most of the millionaires shown in the tv don’t do any of that, instead pursue more money or status. What a waste of time.

At the current pace of savings and earnings I won’t be able to retire in the next 25years, whilst mentally I am already ready to retire to do all the things you listed and more.
Sometimes I wonder if it wouldn’t be better to just go for it and start living the life as if I had all the millions laying around and making the most out of my relatively healthy body. But I’m afraid it would be quite stressful to burn through savings and be forced to go back to a corporate job all over again…
I only have one eye (retinoblastoma) and have never been able to see through my left eye, you can't imagine the amount of questions that just arrived in my head, do you have some material to explain this a bit more? Specially in regards to the flipping different fields? Thanks so much!
i thought this was made by friends of jean-pierre petit and his Janus model...

By providing Signal with any phone number at which you can receive an SMS or text message, you can register a Signal account at that other phone number. For example, you can create a pseudonymous Google account, register a Google Voice VoIP number, and use that as your Signal number. Or you can even use a free throw-away SMS account and use that number when you sign up for your Signal account instead of your real phone number. The Signal service will happily send the throw-away number a text message with the verification code, letting you complete the account sign-up process.

I guess eSIM is still a luxury for now so they want to milk it. I have only ever heard of first time activation of a sim. Vodafone in NL requires an activation via their app, or phone, before first use. But I think that is normal. The last time I got a physical sim it was in 2013 and I have transferred the same sim across multiple phones since.
The article says this: many of the models are getting hotter with time in ways that are clearly wrong, but climatologists routinely use them anyway out of some misguided belief in "model democracy" i.e. that all models are equally valuable and correct even when they disagree strongly with each other so should just be averaged together. It's pointed out that this undermines vast amounts of the supposedly settled science.
>Those who will steal will steal and those who will pay will pay anyway.

That's not been my experience. Every time a crack appeared for my software sales went down. Every time I strengthened the licensing software sales went up. This is for B2B software, god knows what it is like if you sell to consumers.
When you’ve been bullied, or when the end of the last job turned into negative comments all the time, rumination is a reflex.
Sideloading/piracy is already possible on ios with stuff like altstore. It just needs to resign the app every 7 days.
There is no contradiction. Json simply asserts that the basic exchange blob should be as simple as possible.

Linking and schemas and validation and all that stuff are terribly important but a good and simple approach would ADD them when needed, not inflict you with maximum complexity for even the simplest thing.

In this respect json-ld has shown one way this can be done but overall its a problem that still asks for a brilliant innovator to solve.
This will likely be tied to the same region setting that the App Store is currently tied to. If you want to use side loading, you'd be tied to a European region setting, and Apple's services will be restricted to the European versions.

I disagree. The mobile OS market is just not open and big enough to vote with my money.

I don’t buy iPhones because I like being unable to side load apps. I miss it a lot.

The point is that when I make my list of pros and cons of buying Android vs iOS, I still prefer iOS because, as much as I dislike Apple commercial policies and artificial lock-ins, I just loathe Google for what they are.

And don’t even call me some sort of "fanboy", I’ve used and loved Android as an OS since basically the first versions.

It’s just that iOS have a quantity of advantages I’m not willing to lose by going back to Android and that there are basically no alternative platform to run apps on.
Cool. A simpler solution for you might be healthchecks.io which you can run for free for what you need.
Every time they changed the UI it made it worse for free users and worse for learning. The latest iteration which made it like candy crush almost made me quit. The only thing keeping me is the streak, which isn't a positive reason.
"If you didn't buy something, but rented it - for example a game on Steam or Epic Games store"

I don't know about the other one, but in the Steam store I see "Buy" buttons, not "Rent".
"Buy <game name>" in the store page, then when you go a "Shopping Cart", where you can "Purchase" the game.

To me (and to the average people, I guess) it doesn't sound as a rental service at all.

I'm sure that their ToS says otherwise, but I wonder how it would fare in a court case...

yes, this is how some europeans see it. imo it’s absurd.

> Miller High Life has proudly worn the nickname ‘The Champagne of Beers’ for almost 120 years

seems to me european laws have become more ridiculous as time goes by. and the more ridiculous the more staunch defendants somehow.
> Strong players, like Facebook, may just take their app away from the official store and distribute it through other ways. With their strong position I don't have much choice - it's not like there would be five competing apps serving the same purpose (connecting to the people and communities on Facebook).

iPhone is THE hottest device on the planet, I can’t believe anyone can seriously consider Facebook challenging its position.

I think they are referring to "needing a developer" to push to staging, not that there wasn't a staging environment. That means the designer who codes is still blocked by available developer time, and if the developer is out that they, they what? just don't work for the day?

This not-entirely-hypothetical individual just started learning to code. Getting caught up with package managers isn't great, but are you expecting them to write all of the code they need from scratch? Don't professional developers use other people's work (aka libraries) to make their job easier? Why wouldn't a beginning developer also want access to those same libraries?

What's easier, writing a whole interactive animation library from scratch, or using someone else's library that implements a bunch of stuff for you? If you want to use this library, why not use some sort of software to manage it? Or is the designer-developer not allowed to use Google to find cool libraries to reduce the amount of typing distracting code into a lifeless VScode window they have to do?

In India Nasscom and few state government funded startup incubators do this.
Hockey stick graphs are indeed alarming, but also fraudulent, and the IPCC has even accepted that in the past! Look into the history of these graphs, the Mann lawsuit, the work McIntyre did on showing how these graphs were manufactured etc. After it was shown how Mann did it the NAS investigated and hockey sticks vanished from IPCC reports for around 15 years. Then one snuck back in to the latest report but only in the summary! The graph doesn't appear in the actual scientific review part at all! That's the state the IPCC has degraded to: the summaries for policymakers are completely different to the actual content for scientists and introduce new claims unsupported by the cited research. The graph is still wrong and the techniques that lead to them are blatantly fraudulent (lots of cherry picking, truncating, splicing, even tipping raw data upside down to make it go up instead of down, really horrific stuff).
It failed successfully.

It was right from the word go, meant to be a destructive test flight. It flew, it was destroyed and in the process they learned a lot about stage 0 and about the performance of the engines and the structural strength of the whole thing.

very very successful.

That argument sounds like change for the sake of change. Programmed obsolescence for programming languages.

We should move on when we find something that is objectively better, not because some years have passed.

And honestly, the only new thing that seems to be better than the current paradigm is Rust borrow model, which is not against object orientation, it compliments it.

It is not difficult - you need a binocular, forceps, small sharp scalpel and steady hands. If you know what you are doing it only takes around 20 min to dissect a nerve cord, and the most tricky part is fixating the insect. A mosquito is still quite big, I’ve had colleagues who would dissect drosophila larvae, this is where you are approaching the limits of doable preparations.
He was not targeting by the Mafia. Rather, he was riding a bicycle and a garbage truck served into his lane, running him over, then sped off.

I have been told that these NY garbage trucks _often_ intimidate cyclists. They are known for reckless driving and accidents. In any case, there are two reasons that the police are treating this as murder. One of the reasons is that the driver left the scene. I forget the second reason.
Humans verbalize their conscious state. What little consciousness GPT has, ie. CoT and the like, it picked up by imitating human verbalization of conscious interiority. (I don't think layer state qualifies as consciousness.) As such, I believe two things: 1. the generated text is, if at all, very weak conscious state; 2. if there is any, it is there.
Yes indeed a job of a CEO is not an easy peasy one if you are not into politics and power games but IMHO it’s a small price to pay if you are compensated like that and after such a stint you won’t need to work ever again.

The fact that most of the CEOs are still working after receiving such a compensation package shows their different mindset which is probably essential to becoming a CEO in the first place… personally I’d gladly take 1/100th of that and never have to worry about money ever again. Doesn’t mean I would stop working. I’d just stop working for money trying to hack my way into early retirement which probably won’t come anyways.
Isn't the whole problem area of distributed transactions a bit of a conceptional issue?

Looking at it from an event driven, eventually consistent view it seems to me that one can achieve considerable complexity gains by explicitly avoiding distributed transactions.

In the past I had often the discussion that "Oh, no! Our business requirement X forces us to have atomic transactions across these 74 services". I cannot talk in absolutes but all cases I have personally seen actually didn't need distributed transactions and could (in most cases easily) be translated into event driven architectures. In the not easy cases it usually amounted to services being split badly or the IT org being too strongly present in the deployed architecture.
