There is something very playful about lisp that is so intriguing to me. I've come to rely heavily on powerful type systems at work (which is amazing), but lisp feels like unbounded imagination flowing at my fingertips.

They aren't because there is literally no new data, none

Grusch cannot legally divulge classified information publicly. Nobody can. Instant jail time- see Manning, etc. So no, obviously, we couldn't possibly have seen data or proof today.

He can, however, discuss it with Congress and the whistleblower program in a secure setting and has done so (as he mentioned many dozens of times under oath today) and is willing to do so further.

truth claims

I think I see the disconnect here.

I don't see (credible) people claiming that anything was proven to be the "truth" today. Yet that seems to be what you're railing about. Well, hey, I agree with you a hundred percent about that. Nothing proved.

However, for reasons reiterated dozens of times here, his claims are very significant. If they are not true then he has duped a lot of members of Congress. Considering some of the congresspeople I saw up there today, it's not exactly the intellectual A-Team. But still.

It feels like admins just offloaded the job of deploying apps back to developers. And as a developer I woudn’t even mind, if not for the f-ing slowdown of, well, the pace of development. All external teams that I worked with and who were using containers for development were like “oh you need that trivial endpoint or a bugfix? No problem, we’ll do it in few hours and it will autodeploy tomorrow”. And I didn’t ask why, because I know. As if we weren’t snail-paced money burners already.

Provided all that, I don’t get why “devops” is even a high-paying job at most places except few really web scale ones. They are basically former sysadmins who reject anything except plugging colored squares into square sockets.

Mercatus & GMU an outgrowth of the Mont Pelerin Society of "free-market' economists and propagandists.

The Kochs, GMU, Mercatus, the Atlas Network, and many affiliated organisations and individuals are at the heart of disinformation about global warming and challenges on both the resource and environmental impacts fronts, and have been for many decades. Koch Industries itself is a massive oil and gas concern which obviously benefits from rebutting and confounding arguments against usage of fossil fuels, both through scientific investigation and governmental regulation, its two principle bogeymen.

I've long switched to Emacs/Org, but used JupyterLab extensively before (as a data scientist).
It's way more powerful than vanilla notebooks since you can open notebooks/code/related side-by-side, easier to extend (with lab extensions), etc.

I always thought people only still used vanilla notebooks because that's what people say they use, e.g. "I work with Jupyter notebooks" (even though that may well be in JupyterLab). So most regular users wouldn't necessarily know about JupyterLab.
This is fantastic thinking. Actually I'm quite excited about the combination of fault-localization techniques and LLMs; taking a traceback, pruning the call-graph, and seeking out bugs. There's a real future in all of this

Congresspeople can. They can stand up and read classified information into the record. They can’t be prosecuted for it, because of the Speech and Debate Clause.
This nicely summarizes some of my frustrations with using Clojure for my master's thesis. I'm not unhappy with the choice. Clojure allows such a juicy crossover between "everything is a key-value map, mannn" and "If it has :quack key set to true, treat it like a duck" which works really well for entity-component-system game-design-y things.

but the development story in Common Lisp ... and my gawd, the CONDITION SYSTEM ... were things that I sorely missed for the last year. and I'm not even that experienced of a CL hacker. It just grew on me so quickly. If only CLOS and the primitive data types in CL played together more nicely than they seem to.

That's actually the big difference, from my, and others [1], experience. Jetbrains is type aware, and code structure aware, so will refactor far beyond symbols.

Maybe I shouldn't give them any ideas, but cannabis is still technically illegal in the Netherlands to the point that coffeeshops (euphemism for cannabis dispensaries) cannot buy their stock legally (growing is prosecuted) or charge certain taxes like VAT.

As much iPods were a commercial success, they were absolutely dwarfed more than 10 to 1 by the number of standard mp3 players and those could not read DRM music at all. Out of my whole high school, you only had maybe one or two guys with a real iPod and thousands of mp3 players. They were much cheaper to buy and even easier to use.

And not sure why you bring smartphones, by the time modern smartphones were popular in the 2010s, people were using Spotify already.

The chip is very expensive, sadly. If it were just a matter of the cartel, that would be one thing (and would have Shenzhen-made workarounds). No, the USB lunatics made USB-PD one of the most insane specifications you'll ever find, so that no one can implement it correctly period. (Seriously, it's actually the description of the actual behavior of an old TI part, bugs and all, turned into a spec. It's horrid. It's the genuine worst specification ever.)

So you end up needing a 48MHz Cortex-M0 microcontroller just to do the god damned power delivery. At least, I've never seen it done by a less capable part. And processors of that class are, alas, just not that cheap.

We should absolutely pressure industry to minimise the packaging types and forms in a way that minimises hassle down the chain. Think about toys that come in some combination of plastic cover and cardboard box, both uniquely shaped to that particular toy or brand, and requiring the consumer to shred their fingers trying to separate materials for recycling. Make something like that non-viable in some way so industry is pushed to a more reasonable option.

Someone like Walmart could also, in theory, apply sufficient pressure to make a difference here.

Agree. I used to work with a lot of people who were not entirely there when I was in the military. When I was a Lt, I used to know (dated…) someone who told me she saw ghosts everywhere. As in, she would literally stop what she was doing and tell me a ghost was standing behind me, with complete seriousness. She’s now a Lt Col in the Space Force. I find it entirely believable that you could assemble a fairly large contingent of them to stake their credibility in just about anything.

Big fan of Lispworks (Yes, there is a free version). Using it in production, as many others. Using Quicklisp in experiments. Not direct in my codebase. Lisp will always be there. Learning Lisp will make you a better programmer, while having fun.
> "seems you either don't know what lisp or you've never written mathematica"

Meanwhile, you brought up examples from Mathematica docs that talk about head/tails (car/cdr) but by that logic, Python is a Lisp too because you have:

list[0]

and

list[1:]

Maybe your Clojure/Racket experience wasn't enough to teach you what the essence of Lisp was. From your first link:

"Mathematica expressions are in many respects like LISP lists. In Mathematica, however, expressions are the lowest-level objects accessible to the user. LISP allows you to go below lists, and access the binary trees from which they are built."

That right there is telling you that Mathematica is not a Lisp.

Edit: Corrected the Python list example.

while the question is open if economic growth will continue forever neither resources or population are an issue. The German economy say, has grown by 400% since the 1970s in real terms while the population has stayed stable. Energy use has slightly fallen over the last few decades.

Well, I've always thought that cloaking your secret government program in kooky-sounding UFO stuff might be a great way to keep your program hidden. Anybody uncovering evidence of your program will likely not be taken seriously, because UFOs.

And certainly, "a government lies and has secrets" ranks well above "aliens are in our skies" in terms of likelyhood. Occam's Razor and all.

But, I don't know if this sounds like a psyop to me.

One, Grush says that many (dozens?) of people (whose names he has provided to the whistleblower office) spoke to him about these alleged programs. Dozens or people push this psyop... why? The government wants to convince people that it is... even shadier than we thoughts? Or is this some thing they cooked up to ensnare Grusch specifically?

Is our government secretive and scary? Oh yeah. But if this is a psyop then I don't see how it helps them.

I also looked at this topic, see [1]. Some points are similar to the article posted by OP. My findings were:

- Docker Desktop and Docker engine (CE) behave differently, e.g. bind mounts, or file system ownerships.

- CPU/Platform differences (ARM vs. AMD64): many devs don't realize they use ARM on their mac, thus ARM images are used by default, and tools you run in it (or want to install) may be have differently, or may be missing entirely

- Incompatible Linux kernel APIs (when containerized binaries make syscalls not supported by the the host's kernel, for whatever reason)

- Using the same version tags, expecting the same result (--> insanity, as you know it :D)

- Different engines (e.g. Docker Desktop vs. colima) change the execution behavior (RUNNING containers)

- Different build engines (e.g. kaniko vs. BuildKit vs. buildah) change the BUILD behavior
