That's a nice hypothesis but it breaks down when you historically look at just how many people were killed in the name of religiuos jihads, crusades, witch trials (including all the individual people killed for rather benign reasons but against religious doctrine). The religious are just as guilty of using fear to kill others.

I will give you that there are surely some who can say fear of gods kept them from killing but in fairness surely there are some who were set free from those gods and realized they didn't have to persecute others just because a religious doctrine says, even if their sympathies said otherwise to the doctrine.

Freely distributing 20,000 t-shirts to your first 20,000 customers is a nice reward.

But Kagi is missing an opportunity for a huge brand awareness campaign from this.

People who are already really happy with Kagi would become brand ambassadors.

Why isn’t the name ‘Kagi’ found anywhere on the t-shirt design?

People who want to know where it’s from would have to go out of the way to ask the tee wearer.
Why shouldn't it be?

Happy paying Kagi member. Took a look at the stats page, and I'm shocked by just how small they still are: only 430 thousand queries per day!

I still think the 20k shirts is a terrible waste of mine, and I'm unlikely to even claim mine because the designs/colors don't appeal (there's a reason why very few clothes are bright yellow) and I'd still have to pay for shipping.
One of the craziest things to me when looking at a jumping spider is the unbelievable size and mass difference between us. An 80kg person is ~6,000,000x heavier than the average jumping spider. Whereas a blue whale is only like 2,000-3,000x heavier than that 80kg person (if I'm doing my math right).

They are obviously tiny, but I wouldn't have imagined what titans we must be from their perspective.
JavaDoc has also traditionally been pretty good, and Java's idioms let there be rich doc in the source comments that gets turned into nice HTML. Every so often someone tries to make something similar for Lisp, with mixed results. (The one I remember most recently is https://quickref.common-lisp.net/index-per-library.html but I pretty much never visit it, it's not helpful to me.) It also doesn't help that every project might do something different. (There's also multiple types of docs for different audiences in different contexts, but that's a separate common issue for any language and team.)

For a lot of the commonly used libraries, the doc is sufficiently decent, though sometimes unintuitive to find. For core stuff I like the hyperspec as much as the next lisper (and opening it on a symbol is just ,h for me) but there's also http://clqr.boundp.org/ that not everyone knows about, it's a great little reference to have printed out at my desk. And there's situations like how part of pretty much every Lisp, available through ASDF, is UIOP, a great little portability library. Its doc is at https://asdf.common-lisp.dev/uiop.html and it originates in the source repo from a Lisp script taking doc info from the source and applying a .texinfo template to it. Pretty bespoke. But this is also just part of the cost/benefit of CL: it's very unopinionated, unlike say Java or Clojure, and so lets individuals and teams do what they want which naturally isn't going to be the same worldwide. I like certain doc (especially at least one example of using the thing) in repo README files, others don't, nothing forces one way or the other.

Once the confidence for Lisp is there though, you're right that it's not a big deal. It's very nice to jump-to-source for everything, including SBCL internals, and modify things even. I can fix some bugs in a dependency library, right now, without having to file an issue/pull request to the library maintainer and waiting for a new release, and that modification can even live in my source tree in the interim as just a bit of code that runs after loading the main library and then redefines one of its functions or whatever.

I disagree that any effort needs to be made on attracting lone wolves, less even than trying to make editor support better for beginners; the loners will come on their own in time. Not because CL can only be used by loners (million+ lines of code projects made by teams demonstrate otherwise), but because it's a very good multiplier for that situation.

I was out walking in downtown Ithaca at around 7am one Saturday in the mid 1990s when a huge convoy of military vehicles drove through the town in front of what was then a Woolworths and today is the public library. Now I’ve got a good picture of what it looks like when an army drives through your town.

I found out that they’d just closed

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seneca_Army_Depot

which was a major storage facility for nuclear warheads. I don’t know if that convoy was carrying nuclear weapons or if they were just repositioning vehicles but I could have seen enough firepower to blow up civilization. (Today I think https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Nuclear_Security_Admi... not the regular military would be tasked with this.)

I’d imagine it was a target for a ‘counterforce’ strike since if an enemy blew warheads up there they wouldn’t ever get attacked with them. It could have received multiple large warheads because the site has numerous “igloo” bunkers. I can’t imagine the blast would have gotten us at the bottom of the lake but fallout could have been a problem for us or Syracuse if the wind was blowing the wrong way.

(Since we are not directly targeted and fallout would take hours to arrive our plan in case of nuclear war is to drive to the gas station and buy all the bottled water and Bud Light.)

Mine can, and still might, it just *fingers crossed* has not happened yet and hopefully never will. However, I do have many of signs that have a high correlation with such outcomes. =(

The cancer is not my concern. For my disease in particular, the research, from what I have read, seems to believe that biologics do not increase the rate of cancer more than what the AI disease already does. Some studies have shown that there might even be a decrease in cancer once inflammation is controlled.

With that being said, it's the other potential side-effects like new incidents of Demyelinating diseases, Lupus-Like Reactions, seizures, liver damage, heart failure, etc..

The biologics seem to be getting safer with each iteration, and I would feel more comfortable on something like Skyrizi than Humira or Enbrel, but still not comfortable enough to pull the trigger.

Back story:

A lot of investors looking for returns would love to save 30-40%. I also wonder whether Autobidder, which is hosted on Tesla’s cloud, would actually be very exciting for grid operators who value reliability and things like black start.

Anyway, my real point is that I’m comparing apples to oranges, but Tesla’s value proposition in the energy sector doesn’t look unassailable to me. If I worked at a company like EG4, I would seriously consider trying to compete.

They're not insects at all. They're spiders.

There's a lovely sci-fi book series Ada Palmer's Terra Ignota where one of the speculative fiction aspects is that there had been some awful world war iii fought over religion, and the world decided to outlaw organized religion.

Religion is allowed, but it's between you and your "sensayer" and they're not allowed to preach or tell you what to believe. It allows search & exploration, but everything has been set up to prevent organization.

If you've read Sanderson's Mistborn, there's maybe some parallel to the Keeper Sazed, who inventories religions/beliefs & tries to help folks find beliefs that suit them.

> The priority should be sustainable development. We have enough water, just not great usage.

We may have enough water for now but we're using it faster than it can be replenished; our reserves in aquifers is starting to run out.

I watched the documentary Day Zero [1] last year about the global water crisis. I highly recommend anyone interested in what's going on with water to watch it. It was one of those oh shit movies where on one hand, you're glad you learned something important and on the other hand, you kinda wish you could have stayed blissfully ignorant because of how scary the situation actually is.

For example, the Ogallala Aquifer [2] covers approximately 174,000 square miles across 8 states—South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. It's one of the largest aquifers in the world.

Of all the water that's extracted from it, only 10% gets replenished. That's obviously not sustainable, especially with climate change, increasing municipal and farming use.

We're not going to desalinate our way out of this all over the world.

The immutable persistent data structures are amazing. The STM and concurrency support are great. The interop with java is great, but is also a bit of a curse in that there's a bit too much reliance on java libs rather than people writing high-quality language native ones.

The sexp-based collection literals are very convenient, and coupled with the threading macros make writing and reading clojure code very productive and fun.

Clojure has a lot going for it.

The biggest issue I have with it is the same issue I have with any 'hosted' language. If it doesn't own the runtime, it risks being broken or held-back by changes it has no control over. Clojure is conceptually and syntactically simple, so it probably fares better than other JVM-hosted languages, and the JVM itself has historically been very stable at the bytecode level, but it still a risky thing to require your platform to stay stable for your language ecosystem to survive.

I love you Clojure, but I'd rather invest in a language that controls its own destiny.
I’ve been using Kagi for a month or two now and I still cannot for the life of me find the right tab because of their weird yellow “g” logo. When I think “Kagi” I definitely don’t think “yellow g”.

I'm using VNC for coworking/mentoring sessions and it works very well for us (it's lower latency, higher frame rate, sharper picture than typical screen sharing, and allows both/all sides to interact with the session and use the mouse pointer to point to things). We're using Linux on both the server and client side. There's a full desktop on the remote side, to fully interact with that (to have key bindings go to the server instead of the local desktop) the client needs to be made full screen. Latency isn't really an issue even between central US and Europe.

I've automated the set up of a Debian server for the purpose using[1]. There are some details on how to run it and how to set up the client side here[2] (probably slightly outdated). Feel free to mail me about it.

I think the big problem with objects is that they're just not the common denominator: e.g., image files/formats are going to be byte streams.

That, and getting the world to agree on object formats is like pulling teeth, it seems. E.g., WASM just wanted to add a string type, which OUGHT TO¹ be simple (use UTF-8) … but alas.

JSON? Not enough types. YAML? Doesn't matter if it's good, nobody likes YAML. Etc.

And you have to serialize them to bytes somewhere along the line; either to transfer their memory representation to another process, or to put them on the network.

I start thinking "Perhaps something could be built on top of byte streams" but that's YAML, JSON, CBOR, take your pick.

Why bother encrypting the fragment of the URL at all? Anyone who has the text of the URL gets the message, whether the fragment is encrypted or not. Encryption is just obfuscation.

An even better way to do this would be to use a data: URL instead. That avoids risks associated with a compromised web server.

data:,Put your secret message here.

Even better still: just put the message in plain text on a piece of paper. That avoids risks associated with a compromised browser.
