It has both, but like Docker, they don't ship in base. ezjail was the tool of choice for many years, and cbsd (which also manages the virtualization capabilities) has emerged as a mature replacement for the past decade or so.

I'm not disagreeing with your assessment -- nobody knows better than you which software you want to use! -- so much as listing options for anyone reading.

But I find it interesting how far ahead of its time FreeBSD was on this, and how badly it appears to have fumbled this ball. The official documentation still recommends ezjail, which is not good. Just another example, I guess, of "writing the code isn't enough."
You seem to be taking the position that Svelte does not allow for components for cases like custom dropdowns where HTML falls short on its own.

This is not at all the case. I highly recommend actually looking at Svelte examples before commenting further.

That said, there are a lot of folks out there who don't know that, for example, combo boxes and accordions are possible with plain HTML.

PicoCSS is a great resource for seeing what's possible with just plain HTML and ~10KB of CSS.
does mlc work for vision models? for example, the doc mentions --max-seq-len MAX_ALLOWED_SEQUENCE_LENGTH as a command line option. This seems to imply that it only accepts language models?

Roughly two out of three U.S. adults are overweight or obese (69 percent) and one out of three are obese (36 percent). In 2008, men in Western and Central Europe had higher rates of obesity than men in Eastern Europe (20 to 25 percent, versus 15 to 20 percent).

One thing I particularly hate about license change is lack of notice - If you operate in good faith you probably would want to give time to community to make arrangement, whenever it is negotiating agreement with you or looking for alternatives.

> If LW and Franz are going to survive and not go same way as Symbolics, Sun & Co, they should probably rethink their strategy of licensing their stuff free for GPL/non-commercial use, similar as Qt and some other companies do.

I'd think there were like 30 commercial implementations of Common Lisp. LispWorks and Franz are still alive. None of the others are. Personally I'm happy that they exist and fear what you propose would kill them very quick. There are also a few inhouse implementations "alive".

> and the best tools are locked away behind the pricey tag

If there would be a business opportunity someone else can pick it up.

LispWorks reused bits and pieces of CMUCL. But the stuff they've added provided real value: robust ports to different platforms, an extensive implementation and a portable GUI layer.

If someone sees a business, they could easily layer something on top of SBCL or provided other improvements.

Scieneer tried that with CMUCL by adding concurrent threading for multi-core machines.

Clozure CL was alive while there was the expertise of the old hackers. Once they were gone it was difficult to keep it ported to new platforms and to fix hairy bugs. They tried to have a business model with an open sourced variant of Macintosh Common Lisp.

We'll see dev tools financed by big companies like Microsoft, Oracle, Apple, Google, ...

Then there are a bunch of companies trying to provide tools (Intellij, ...) or alternative languages (Scala, ...).

The specialized niche languages tend to have capable implementations with large price tags. See for example the commercial Smalltalk implementations of Cincom or SICStus Prolog ( https://sicstus.sics.se/order4.html ).

Other financing models tend to be fragile... or depend on other sources... like research/academic funding.

By stuttering, if you mean video stuttering, I used to experience those a lot; I installed Brave for that very reason, because Netflix, Twitch, etc. were performing pretty poorly on Firefox (on a 4GB RAM low end laptop). But I very rarely experience that these days, to the point I've switched back to Firefox for those sites too.

But general performance-wise, Firefox is so easily better than Chromium in my experience, it's not even a competition. Firefox with hundreds of tabs open performs better than Chromium with 10-20 tabs. It's more responsive to interactions, uses less memory, and is much less likely to freeze up. With Chromium, I have to constantly keep a watch over open tabs, and close them mercilessly, or suffer from overall system slowdown and a browser that's almost a slideshow.

Of course, you could recurse all the way down to the mean free paths of molecules, but, in reality, first principles starts somewhere way above that, maybe at, say, molecular binding (proteins and so forth).

I’m not “arguing” anything as this would suggest I have a viewpoint. I’m asking from a medical perspective if anyone knows of a reported case that investigated or described cause of death.

Multi organ failure typically occurs in the ICU in extremely sick people, with an inciting event. I’m not following how ME/CFS leads to that. It could be that I’m uneducated on this, hence the question.

You could swap “COVID” with many other diseases or pathogens and I would be similarly curious. It’s just an unusual progression in a < 40 year old.

Thanks for providing this, I read back until early June or so.

It looks like he was taking Difficid, presumably for CDAD. Severe C diff can certainly result in multi organ failure and death. Unusual in an antibiotic naive patient and I’ve not heard of a link with COVID.

He also in another tweet states he has hepatic encephalopathy. Is a sign of liver/end organ dysfunction. HE wasn’t on the linked timeline and is very rare in non-cirrhotics but has happened. This would typically be worked up looking for the cause. It would be medically interesting to see a liver biopsy results. Severe liver dysfunction could also explain multi organ failure and death.

Brandon clearly put in a lot of effort when he was alive to publicly document and detail his journey which has been informative for me. My understanding is that he was hoping to increase awareness and provide resources for others. I’m looking for a report to fill in the gaps between what he has shared and his unfortunate death which is medically very interesting.

This is not, and should not, be a debate about the validity of serious COVID illness or CE/MFS which has been established at this point.
> Google controls the desktop browser market already, one of the only reasons they haven’t done the same on mobile is because Apple won’t allow it.

Yeah, I think this is wrong, but I'm going to bail on this discussion since it's too close to my employment.

But my opinions haven't really changed anyway: from my perspective both sides have "control" over a market, but one side has been a good steward, allowing forks and experimentation and open implementation, and the other side has been an inarguably bad steward by disallowing competition entirely. And it's shocking (and frankly a little Orwellian) to see people trying to argue the opposite.

I got into React initially because I could write React components and put them into my HTML where a dynamic component was needed. This was a stark contrast to stuff like Angular or Ember at the time, which would force me to write the whole page in their framework, abandoning basic HTML which worked a lot better for much of the page. Put another way, when I got into React, it was a good tool for writing multi-page applications with some interactivity on each page, when all the other tools were forcing you into single-page applications.

React is still a good tool for writing MPAs, if you can get your team to stick to it. But unfortunately, if you aren't careful, React has become an infectious disease and slowly eats your whole frontend, even where it's not necessary and in fact, counterproductive. Pages which initially had a component or two, slowly are completely rendered in React, and when this happens to enough pages, someone starts wondering why your site isn't an SPA. It's hard to steer teams away from this, because the short-term benefits always seem tantalizing, and few people stay at jobs long enough these days to grok the long-term downsides.

I've started to think having a JS build step (beyond bundling/minification) at all is the original sin here, and lately I've been doing a lot of my work with just vanilla JS and web components. Web components have their downsides which I've criticized elsewhere, but at least they aren't all-consuming. I've also been playing around with a few lightweight frameworks which don't require a build step like alpine.js and lit.js, but haven't committed to one for a production project yet. The biggest downside to this is that there aren't good tools for automated testing without a build step (that I know of! If you have some please mention them).
Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everyone
Designing domain-specific languages with Common Lisp macros
What are A and B? Are they expressions over integers, floats, or strings?

I would simply try translating them to JavaScript / Lua and use v8 / LuaJIT (LuaJIT is probably much smaller and easier to embed)

And just do

eval('A || (B && C)')

Or there is probably a way to store the parsed and compiled representation.

v8 and LuaJIT are slower than C/C++ in general, but for that specific simple case, they are likely about the same speed, or within a factor of 2.

And WAY easier to implement and deploy!
I didn't have websites outright breaking on FF like solardev, but I had other issues with it, like cloudflare getting me into an infinite loop of asking me if I'm human and not letting me browse the website. This happened even if I deleted my firefox profile and started fresh with no extension. Note that this behavior of Cloudflare is highly dependent on the settings of their anti-ddos stuff, some websites have it set on a higher level of defensive behavior than others, I didn't have this issue everywhere.

This wasn't due to my computer's IP, the problem went away the moment I browsed the same website with Chrome, and this time I wasn't even asked to click the checkbox to prove that I'm human.

every time someone uses electron they buy into the chrome ecosystem -- when they run into problems they write mailing list posts or stack overflow questions that other people can read to help them when they have the same problem, and if they actually want to contribute bugfixes or features upstream they go into chrome not firefox. also if they have a webapp version the webapp version that's running in chrome works exactly the same as the same code running in electron without really having to do any separate testing so which browser are they going to push to be used internally?

You probably know that not all bottled wines age well, in fact only a handful do. Usually high sugar content is important, because the sugar preserves the aromas and keeps them from evaporating. Alcohol content, acidity and tanins also play a role.

Most bottled wines are meant to be drank right after bottling or in up to 5 years, white wines less than that. They get more brown or orange as they oxydize. Prosecco and sparkling wines are usually better if they're from the previous year.
>I think it's a good thing that gambling has been legalized and brought out the shadows

I'm not 100% sure on this one. The problem with gambling is it involves huge amounts of money, generally far more than the base product it is attached to. Much like MTX in games has changed the meta-game from playing the game to actually needing to buy as much in game content as possible to play the game, productized gambling changes the meta from the product to gambling. The further enshitification of the world around us.

I'd go even further to legal, but not advertized when it comes to gambling. It is considered a vice for a number of valid reasons.

We can’t thank dang enough for what he does. Thank you dang.
Yes, they all are.

First you have `src/main/java` (compare `src/test/kotlin`), and then the package is encoded as nested directories, and Java has a convention of using the domain name as the root of your packages. So, if your company domain is "sun.com", all your packages start with "com.sun", and then you have more specifiers under that.

But all IDEs and github condense empty directories together, so it's not that bothersome.

> I would argue that Electron webapps shouldn’t really count towards the browser marketshare.

Perhaps not, but if you're writing your desktop app in Electron, you'll be benchmarking your performance optimizations against the Chrome engine. If that same code is used for your web app, you're optimizing your website for Chrome.

Mozilla can pour resources into making Firefox more performance, but the real-world ecosystem will change behavior to improve Chrome's performance on their webapp with little concern as to whether it hurts Firefox's performance.

(I assume people use largely the same code between Electron and their webapps, and that optimizations for Electron translate reasonably well to optimizations for Chrome.)
