>Primitive CLI-like tinkering, figuring out language features, calc-like usage - maybe. But not a single time in 15 years of doing Python across the industry I saw anybody using these features for serious program development, or live coding, or REPL-driven development.

I swear you people are like ostriches in the sand over this - Django, pytest, fastapi, pytorch, Jax, all use these features and more. I work on DL compilers and I use those features every day - python is a fantastic edsl host for whatever IR you can dream of. So just because you're in some sector/area/job that doesn't put you in contact with this kind of python dev doesn't mean it's not happening, doesn't mean that python doesn't support it, doesn't mean it's an accidentally supported API (as if such a thing could even be possible).

Really what this convo is doing is underscoring for me how there really is nothing more to be learned from lisp - I had a lingering doubt that I'd missed some aspect but you guys are all repeating the same thing over and over. So thanks!
White supremacy is basically this, "we are special". Needs to be called out in its tracks. They don't have to explain, but they can expect push back like I gave and can easily clarify if I was misinterpreting, which they chose not to.

> But the fact that you would have to use Microsoft's or Apple's keys makes this completely impossible.

Yes completely impossible to fake by design. Otherwise whats the point? But I think the root of trust is whatever signs the hardware TPM module. So, Intel, AMD and Apple.

If I understand it correctly, the secure chain of trust will be something like, hardware TPM module -> secure boot -> windows signed kernel -> Chrome (signed binary). Its not clear to me if desktop linux will be able to participate in this ecosystem at all - which is ironic given how much google uses linux. Maybe a couple of the big distributions like Canonical will be able to sign their linux kernel builds.

> Lastly there is the social problem: is DRM the future of the web?

Its opt-in by website operators at least. Assuming this happens, there are two big questions in my mind:

1. How much of the web will go dark to anyone not using a corpo software stack? I imagine bank websites will adopt this technology immediately, while sites like HN, personal blogs and wikipedia won't touch this stuff. How much of the web will stop working on my terrible "hacker" computer where I use firefox on linux?

2. How will this interact with browser extensions and dev tools? If websites won't function outside of chrome, will we be able to continue to drive chrome programmatically? Will chrome's dev tools still work? Will websites be told about my ad blocker extensions? Will webdriver (and similar tools) be blocked?

I live on a boat on the seine river in meudon, facing boulogne, just outide of paris downhill, about 15mn biking from eiffel towel.

It is a wonderful environment with trees and fresh air.
> "I want to grow up to be a mommy and have 2.1 children"

I live in Japan and have Japanese friends. Lots of Japanese I know want to have kids, and wouldn't mind having 3 or more kids. They love kids! And it's still the dream of many women here to get married, have kids, and be a housewife since they know how terrible the careers are in this country.

But 1 or 2 is the limit due to work/time, finances, practicality (housing, vehicles/public transit). The families I know with more kids are the ones who can afford having a housewife or who have multi-generational homes (live-in grandparents).

What I'm trying to say is that I think one major reason people aren't having more kids isn't because they don't want them, but because society isn't built to enable them to.

Yes. In my previous job we used to do this for pharma manufacturing grid and their engineers were always able to identify the same markers or flags that needed to be addressed. I have no doubt they're looking to automate more of that work as much as possible.

With minor manual intervention to confirm etc you're still saving engineers so much time. Would have been a really nice upsell for my last company too.

Hi there,

That's super that you decided to learn Ruby on Rails.

(shameless plug) Here are some personal recommendations - most of them are content I wrote.

In case you don't yet know Ruby then I suggest you start with Ruby.

1. https://ghinda.com/blog/programming/ruby/2021/learning-ruby.... - this is an article I wrote in 2021, that I try to keep up to date and where I approach in general terms learning Ruby

2. A short opinionated guide about how to learn Ruby programming language - https://allaboutcoding.ghinda.com/how-to-learn-ruby

3. Some general advice about learning a new programming language - https://allaboutcoding.ghinda.com/what-to-work-on-when-learn...

Learning Ruby on Rails:

I wrote a small blog post about this here https://allaboutcoding.ghinda.com/resources-to-learn-ruby-on...

And in case you are looking for ideas to build while learning I wrote a while back a thread with some ideas that I think they are good as learning projects: https://nitter.net/lucianghinda/status/1354069119704977409

I also maintain a directory of Ruby and Rails resources at https://rubyandrails.info and I curate a weekly newsletter with Ruby code inspirations and conversations from around the web at https://newsletter.shortruby.com

Once they've voted for whomever made the best election campaign, can now do as they please, sans checks and balances that exist in a modern democratic country.

Once this government has been established, they started pushing their reform, which has caused many to switch sides. Recent polls show that the coalition wouldn't win an election, if it would be held today.

What do you say to the now majority of the people that don't approve of the government's actions? too bad that you made that mistake of trusting those guys?

In a truly democratic country, the elected government should have power, but it must be held in check by powerful institutions like the supreme court.
capitalism and declining population don't go hand in hand with each other.
Well I suppose it's both. However I would say we're setting up for a very large negative impact on most animals on the planet, including humans.

Your post was flagged (not by me) so I can't go back for exact context, but I do agree with you, zoos are pretty messed up.

I feel like seeing wildlife, even in non-native habitats, may help encourage people to act to conserve that wildlife. Seeing a creature in real life is different than in a video.

Edit: I went back and looked at your replies to other people. I will have to think about this more.

The problem here is that most people don't give a crap. I was explaining this situation to my girlfriend last night over a drink. She's a high level academic with a strong mathematical and logical background in a different field but she didn't really formulate an opinion on it past "if my stuff keeps working, why is it a problem?". Which is fair, because it's a hypothetical risk, but the side effects are a net negative and the open nature of the web is at risk.

As always people see the happy path down the middle of the forest, not the creatures waiting to leap out and eat them two steps down the line.
>Code evaluation, compilation

I couldn’t debug the following in pycharm and add the missing function at runtime, or could i?

def interactively_writing_code():

interactively_writing_code()

I don’t think i can patch a function at runtime without losing state either in python - the act of redefining the function causes the variables to be reset but in lisp the bindings are untouched.
They have been cleaning it for decades now, they did not start just now. It’s more of an impetus to go all the way to make it swimmable. In the end, who cares as long as the result is there?

Google is an advertising company. That's their bread and butter, everything else largely serves to boost that business unit. Blocking ad blockers, alternate clients..etc, is absolutely in line with their business goals of serving more ads.

And also, frankly, I don't really frakking care if their purpose is to prevent ad fraud. That's not my problem, why should I be the one paying for Google to make more money from a problem they created themselves in the first place. As far as I'm concerned, if Google really wants to prevent ad fraud, they can just stop doing advertising; Problem solved.
But it's not banned. You can officially swim at a bunch of places, including the disgusting inner London Docklands area, as well as the dock2dock event.

I really like mmm.page! It's so much fun to build a webpage with it, and it's extremely easy to use.

Unfortunately, the ease of use has a limitation: on mobile, only the center column of the page is visible. This makes it unsuitable for a portfolio site with large landscape images.

Would this use case require another site such as EEE.page, or will mmm.page evolve into a more complex system?
Maybe, maybe not. It does depend on how efficient we could make basic necessity items, and those are only a tiny portion of the modern economy, I suppose. Though I don’t trust the government to not simultaneously screw with the incentives for producing those items, whether by accident or not, which would make a situation like the one you describe more likely. Also it’s not at all clear how housing would work— I’m guessing people would complain about the sort of housing you could get for a workable UBI amount (i.e. one that is actually in equilibrium with the rest of the economy, as in being a tiny rider-on). This would realistically politically cause the amount to keep going up (and thus cause inflation).

There have been quite a few improvements since I've lived in Paris (early 2000s). I've never really tried the Seine itself, but did quite a few swims in Marne (its tributary that flows in just outside the inner city limits) and the canals.
There is likely a "correct" size for any given business in regards to it's function in society. If you chase eternal growth you are somewhat at odds with the society you're part of. Eventually you either need to exploit it to grow past the size it needs you to be, or move out into other markets.

I think the difference is that for the most part, small and medium businesses in Japan are just trying to fit the size of their role in their communities, growth for the sake of growth isn't the goal.

Just observations and idle thoughts from me though, both views on growth clearly have merit and I can't actually speak for Japanese business owners.

That sounds like an exceptionally fair compensation system to be honest.
Since declining populations are here to stay and are increasingly more widespread, sounds like capitalism will need to learn to adjust or risk being replaced.
I really don't understand what Dockerfiles offer in terms of reproducible builds that a minimal install of a distro + a config manager didn't.

I feel like we took Ansible roles (for example, it could be Puppet, CFEngine, whatever) and spread them in uncountable and not reusable Dockefiles and bash scripts (oh the irony). But we still have the config managers too, because who could have imagined, you still have to have bare metal underneath.

Docker (like every other tool before it) started nice, clean and simple, because it didn't cover all the real needs. As those where added on we ended up with tens of tools on top of k8s and now here we are in yaml hell with version compatibility still not solved. And a new generation will come along and repeat it with another set of tools becase "this time it will be different". You can not get rid of complexity, you can only move it from here to there. And if there == YAML then may God have mercy on you.
Github has some very dangerous features when it comes to tagging and mentions. For example, when you add someone to an organisation, it autocompletes the username. We had someone with a fairly common name and accidentally added someone else to the org with a close but not identical name. Fortunately they didn't accept the invitation before we removed them again and added the correct person.
You must have misread. GP said "easier" not "easy".

no. you're assuming the rim has no deflection which is untrue. if you build a rim out of schedule 80 steel pipe then yea. but 300-400-500g rims on high performance bikes do not act like that. the spokes are constantly loading and unloading tension as they bash through rocks and over jumps. the point is that the pretension on the wheel needs to be high enough the spokes do not loosen too much under these forces. if they do in fact loosen too much the nipples will begin to loosen and unwind and the wheel will become out of balance.

> I have no clue what you're talking about

That's not good. Try again.

In Lisp adding two numbers looks like this is source code: (+ 1 2)

CL-USER 41 > (+ 1 2)
3

If I quote the expression and evaluate it, the result is (+ 1 2)

CL-USER 42 > (quote (+ 1 2))
(+ 1 2)

Thus in Lisp the textual representation of code and code as data are the same.

Not so in "Wolfram Language": a + b has a FullForm which looks differently. The user does not write ALL of the code in FullForm notation.

Source notation

a + b

FullForm

Plus[a, b]

Lisp:

Source notation

(+ a b)

FullForm

(+ a b)

Can you see the difference?

> Lol I am 100% sure that the majority of lisps cannot be aot compiled.

I'd expect that they can. That's a feature since 1962. SBCL for example does AOT compilation by default, always.

I mean sure. Cars, for example, are significantly more dangerous than airliners and people crash all the time. But if alien craft are as safe as cars then that just leads back to my original point that airliners are better at traveling safely through our atmosphere than physics-defying alien craft.

What are the chances that such alien bodies are only detected over US soil?

Why not? Walk me through your logic.

I don't see the self-evident silliness. Can you explain?

> But also, the concept of traveling between the stars is also so unlikely as to be effectively impossible. If you don't agree, then you don't really grasp the distance to the stars.

Or if I don't agree I just don't assume that the only way to travel interstellar distances are rockets. We are slowly discovering alternative approaches that don't require incredible amounts of energy. How do you already know 100% they won't work out? Could you share your time machine with me?

Exactly. Likud PMs gave territories and signed peace accords.

When people complain that both parties are exactly alike I groan. That's "good government". People make reasonable decisions which are the same in almost all cases, just some nuanced differences but the general direction is based on consensus.

What we have now isn't right wing. It's far right fascists and autocrats who are holding the Likud party like a puppeteer.

TL;DR: "Our study found evidence of higher excess mortality for Republican voters compared with Democratic voters in Florida and Ohio after, but not before, COVID-19 vaccines were available to all adults in the US. These differences in excess death rates were larger in counties with lower vaccination rates."

The authors do not make any recommendations themselves, but to me it seems that any organization that depends on followers voting for them should be worried if their voter base dies off faster than that of the competition.
> Groups that have a reproduction number less than 1 (same as TFR<2) will die out.

But will they really? Fertility rates are hard to predict and I feel like at a certain point a society might deurbanize with people moving to the countryside and have more children again. Maybe it's at 100 million, maybe at 10 million population, but I just can't fathom a 100 million society just going to zero or even the hundreds of thousands. Maybe I don't understand the dynamics.
> we don’t see aliens because they don’t exist, or we don’t see them because they are here already
