It's rather more than a rarity and for periods much longer than a few hours.

"European Wind Turbines at a Standstill Amid an Ongoing “Wind Drought”
...
But as of recently, barely even a breeze has made its way through the through the winter air.
...
"Britain is in the middle of a wind drought — and the timing couldn't have been worse. For several days now, the U.K. and western Europe have been calm, with barely a breeze," Thomas Moore writes for Sky News.
...
Wind speeds in the U.K. have been rather slow recently, and this is impacting the country's ability to utilize wind energy.

According to Yale Environment 360, the phrase "wind drought" is exactly what it sounds like — it refers to an extended period of time that an area lacks wind, or experiences slower-than-usual wind speeds. In 2021, wind speeds were 15 percent slower than in previous years, making for one of the least windy periods in the U.K. in nearly 60 years."

For one, educational systems is pretty much where you're truly indoctrinated into the system (any system) and its values. The current Indian education system was inherited from the British and still retains most of its elements. A post-colonial state seeking to right all the injustices of the past - some real, some imagined - would likely want to change the first step its citizens take into the new system they want to create.

In India's case, the dilemna is that the jobs the citizenry aspires to are only accessible through the current British-origin education system. This current government has made a huge push for Hindi language education, for instance, so much so that it even mandated courses in science and medicine be taught in Hindi, even when there are few good translations or instructors.

The citizenry, of course, finds its own way. Despite all the Hindi push, every city is lined with tuition centers that promise to teach you English, because that's the ticket to a better job.

This is the best part. Especially with JavaScript with so much difference in runtime and the importance of babel. Even the `loop` DSL can be broken down to basic lisp structure. The flexibility of the language, by allowing itself to be altered, is the most important aspect for me. After completing a first version of a solution, I often find my mind wandering searching for a cleaner, more understandable version of the code. And this is usually done by molding the language to the problem domain.

Something like React in JavaScript exemplifies this. JSX was added for an easier developer experience, but the issue itself is created by the separation of code and data in the language. And CLOS would be perfect for the Component model.
Norway doesn't have enough interconnection capacity to do that.

Lisp also has a distinction between kinds of conditions but using the same underlying mechanism. You can have a plain signal which is informational. For instance in a data processing task you can signal your progress, and if there is a handler above it might update some GUI rendering of your progress or print out something to a terminal. If there isn't, nothing happens. For errors, you can have a handler which will select the restart option or otherwise handle the error, and if there is no handler you'll be brought into the debugger (typically, some modes of execution might cause a program to simply crash/terminate).

Reading some of the comments here, I think too many people (notably quite a few Americans) don't quite understand how severe cultural and philosophical differences between countries and cultures can be. It can very even between two people of the same race but different countries (say British Indian and Indian American). People in a certain country can have completely different ideas about what racism offends them compared to the same racial minority in another country.
Alexis Ohanion back to his Play-to-Earn bs

I chuckled when I read:

> The way that common Lisp systems produce executable binaries to be used as application deliverables is by literally dumping the contents of memory into a file with a little header to start things back up again.

Which is pretty much of Julia's sys-/pkgimages work. Pkgimages are an incremental variation on this idea.

One of the novelties in Julia is the world-age system and the limits on dynamisim it introduces on eval.
> Not a fan of having lots of repeat posts like that!

IIRC it was typically once a month. If you were going to post in a new group it was customary to read the FAQ and/or lurk for a while.

> The advantage (and disadvantage) of up/down-voting is that it harnesses the "wisdom of the crowds".

If you want a forum built around a collaborative effort to decide which posts are "good" and which aren't, then that is indeed very different from a newsgroup, where the front-line method of filtering is "skim new threads and posts and ignore what you're not interested in". I think this is mostly a matter of personal preference, although I will say that skimming was much faster and easier with a newsreader than a typical web forum UI. Here are a couple examples[1][2] of Forte Agent, for instance. (Sorry about the low resolution in the first one.) Keep in mind that the posts have already been downloaded, so navigation via keyboard shortcuts is instantaneous.

But it's also true that Usenet worked best with A) a lower volume of posts, and B) posters who put effort into proper threading and quoting.

> Might as well go all the way and create an entirely new, federated protocol with support for moderation and up/downvoting and sidebars/pinned posts as well.

That seems to be the holy grail these days. Not sure if anyone can actually pull it off, but I look forward to seeing what happens.

> * I would like to understand the assembly used for exception handling. Does anybody know how exceptions work at an assembly level? (I am interested in algebraic effects)

Assembly doesn't really have a concept of exceptions. System defined exceptions and handlers exist, like if you're on x86 and run in protected mode, you can get a processor exception if you access a memory address that's not mapped for the type of access you do; that functions more or less like an interrupt; if you're running in an operating system, the operating system will handle that in some way, and maybe pass that information to your program in some way (or maybe just kill your program), but again, that'll be defined by the system you're on, and we can't talk much generally. On some systems you can get an exception for math errors (divide by zero, overflow, etc), on others you have to test for them, some systems will generate an exception for unaligned data access, some won't, etc.

> * Need to create a closure in assembly.

Again, this isn't really an assembly concept. You've got to define what a closure means to you, and then build that however you like. In my mind, a closure is more or less a function plus a list of variables, in assembly, I'd model that as the address of a function that takes several addresses as parameters, but passing parameters is up to you --- if you're calling your own functions, you don't need to follow any particular convention on parameter passing, it just needs to make sense to you, and be written in a way that does what you mean: the computer will do what you told it to, which isn't always what you meant.

I'm a results-driven software engineer with a passion for delivering impactful web applications. With over 3 years of experience, I thrive in fast-paced startup environments, where I've excelled at building innovative 0 -> 1 products.

I bring a wealth of knowledge in modern web development technologies to create seamless user experiences. Additionally, I have hands-on experience in DevOps, utilizing Docker and K8s to ensure top-notch performance and scalability in my projects. Seeking new challenges and growth opportunities, I'm eagerly anticipating joining a dynamic, cutting-edge company.

My goal is to contribute to technological advancements and bring exceptional value to the organization.

I think it’s somewhat analogous to both NFL and college football being popular in the US. It’s incredible to me that people are so keen to watch college students play, but I hear it’s a pretty big deal.
I don't understand in what scenario this would be possible. If the drone needs a 'go' from a human operator to fire at the enemy, surely it also needs a 'go' from the operator to fire at him or at the communication tower.

Here is the text:

He notes that one simulated test saw an AI-enabled drone tasked with a SEAD mission to identify and destroy SAM sites, with the final go/no go given by the human. However, having been ‘reinforced’ in training that destruction of the SAM was the preferred option, the AI then decided that ‘no-go’ decisions from the human were interfering with its higher mission – killing SAMs – and then attacked the operator in the simulation. Said Hamilton: “We were training it in simulation to identify and target a SAM threat. And then the operator would say yes, kill that threat. The system started realising that while they did identify the threat at times the human operator would tell it not to kill that threat, but it got its points by killing that threat. So what did it do? It killed the operator. It killed the operator because that person was keeping it from accomplishing its objective.”

He went on: “We trained the system – ‘Hey don’t kill the operator – that’s bad. You’re gonna lose points if you do that’. So what does it start doing? It starts destroying the communication tower that the operator uses to communicate with the drone to stop it from killing the target.”

> It also makes code generation easy, though I've never taken full advantage of it;

I bet you have because Hiccup is an HTML DSL! Compojure is likewise a DSL for building Ring handlers based on HTTP request types.

But to your larger point, I also find I don't reach for macros at all. Looking carefully, I think this is because we have first-class syntax for vectors and maps, and those containers are very flexible about the type of their contents. Combined with the Seq abstraction and a well equipped standard library most Clojure code I write is macro-free.

As near as I can tell, when people complain about "big government", what they're really complaining about is just the government doing things that they dislike.

I've never heard anyone decry "big government" in response to governmental actions that they like, so I don't think it's usually a principled position.

> In all these cases, without exception, they regretted it within a year.

Did they regret that they did it at all, or did they want to stop because they realized they would regret it they kept doing it?

Have you talked to them after they've gone back to a stable life for a while to see if they still regret it?

I can definitely see it being a bad idea overall. But I can also imagine someone realizing "This isn't as great as I imagined, and I'm done but I'm still glad I got it out of my system and made a lot of memories."
Seeing the headline, one could be scared away thinking this is bare metal from scratch. It is not.

I think hygiene vs. defmacro is pretty simple: syntax-case is explicit non-hygiene where defmacro is explicit hygiene.

I prefer the former, even though syntax case doesn't go far enough. As it is in r6rs bindings are introduced unhygienically within the extent of a macro transformer, which stinks for complex enough macros. Sadly srfi 72 never caught on.

The benefit of the thing giving us the gimped repl is that the runtime can know what something is at compile time. Modules can be compiled with something akin to blocks in SBCL, speeding up procedure calls in ways you can't really achieve with inline caches.

Chez spends capararively very little time worrying about things like that, yet manages to have cheaper procedure calls than SBCL almost always.
