I actually really liked the rhetoric made in the essay. The only problem is that the title may imply that this essay is about Lisp, while it's more about the ambiguity that are caused by words like "best".

The key takeaway of the essay is that: When someone questions why something supposed to be "best" isn't widely used, the answer is not solely technical. It also have sociological, philosophical, economic, and political aspects.
I don't think they painted it over. Looks like it is airbrushed in photopshop. Check out the top of the tail or the second door.

Navigating the Entrepreneurial Landscape
I want to share a journey that's deeply personal and resonates with the heart of every aspiring entrepreneur. It's about the birth of FamasButik, my community-driven startup aimed at empowering farmers, and the profound lessons learned along the way.

The Vision for FamasButik:

As a former farmer, my journey into entrepreneurship was fueled by a desire to bridge the gap between traditional farming practices and the digital future. FamasButik was envisioned as a community hub for farmers to learn, buy, and sell – a platform designed to transform the agricultural landscape.

Choosing the Wrong Tools: The Initial Setback:

In the early stages, I faced a significant setback – choosing the wrong tools. Framer, while a powerful design tool, wasn't the ideal fit for the functionality I envisioned. The struggle to align my goals with the tool's capabilities led to burnout and discouragement.

Tech Stack Matters: The Importance of Research:

The pivotal lesson here is the significance of researching and choosing the right tech stack for your project. In my pursuit of bringing FamasButik to life, the lack of compatibility between my vision and the chosen tool became a stumbling block. It's a reminder to every entrepreneur – investing time in understanding the tools and tech stacks that align with your project is crucial.

The Burnout and Discouragement Phase:

Burnout followed, compounded by the fact that the community wasn't readily embracing the digital shift. Many farmers preferred traditional methods over the online platform, leading to a sense of discouragement.

From Discouragement to Nevacode: The Birth of a Solution:

This challenging experience birthed Nevacode – a platform born out of the understanding that entrepreneurs, especially those new to the game, need guidance in selecting the right tools. Nevacode is more than a curation platform; it's a beacon for those who, like me, started with a dream, faced obstacles, and sought empowerment through the right tools.

https://nevacode.framer.website/

A Call to Aspiring Entrepreneurs:

Before embarking on your entrepreneurial journey, take the time to research and choose the right tools. Whether traditional coding or no-code, understanding the tech stack that aligns with your vision can be a game-changer.

Conclusion: Empathy in Entrepreneurship:

Being a farmer before venturing into design allowed me to empathize with the challenges faced by those deeply rooted in traditional practices. It's a reminder that successful entrepreneurship goes beyond tools – it requires a deep understanding of your community and their readiness for change.

Nevacode – Empowering Entrepreneurs:

Nevacode stands as a testament to the belief that the right tools, coupled with empathetic entrepreneurship, can transform dreams into reality. Join me on this journey of empowerment, learning, and resilience.

Wishing you a transformative entrepreneurial journey,

Did you even read the article? She specifically traded a million dollar long position on just Nvidia.
Same here; had a Pixel 5a with Google Fi. The 1 year old Pixel randomly died one day, totally bricked. Google phone support requires them calling you (after you request it online), and the browser-based “Fi phone” was unable to receive calls from Google phone support. No other callers had this issue. When I finally got in touch with them via my wife’s phone, they wanted me to drive 1.5 hours outside of SF for a phone diagnostic. I said no thanks and switched to iPhone with AT&T.
I mean… it’s an airplane. It’s not like you can just pull over onto the shoulder in case of catastrophic mechanical failure.
> Recent news reports and a Department of Justice investigation highlight the potential for insider informed trading by U.S. Senators and Members of the House of Representatives, an activity which the STOCK Act of 2012 was intended to deter. We use a new and comprehensive data set of these officials’ trades of public equities from January 2012-December 2020. We find no evidence of superior investment performance whether we look in aggregate or at Senators specifically accused of informed trading. Over a six-month horizon, stocks bought by House Members underperform on average by 26 basis points, while stocks sold underperform by 11 basis points. Even at the 95th and 99th percentiles of ex-post stock returns, House and Senator stock returns are consistent with random stock picking. Our methods cannot rule out the existence of some insider trades that are masked by the means, masked by poor ex-post performance or that took place in earlier years.

Economists Predicted a Recession. So Far They've Been Wrong
It may hurt economically by affecting things like aviation, but is unlikely to directly cause any loss of life. Humans aren't very sensitive to indirect loss of life that only shows up in statistics. It's similar to blowing up Russian oil refineries and gas infrastructure, in that it will impact civilians, but unlike such attacks it won't directly kill civilians. If this already concerns you, you should be very concerned about the economical sanctions imposed on Russia over this war, which have a much greater impact.

It's fine to have opinions over how wars should be fought and where to draw lines, but sadly implementing those opinions and having them survive contact with the reality of war is only realistic if all parties agree on the battlefield. We pretty much just have the Geneva Conventions for this, which Russia has been ignoring[1] anyways by attacking targets like grain silos.

In practice, it seems that the ideal customers for this system were Sysops/BBS operators, small businesses that used their 1 computer to the max, and people who had lots of logs (possibly astronomers or academics running experiments). This also explains why it never hit mass-production: very few people needed 2GB of storage (a single tape). Let alone needing multiple tapes.

Thanks for the walkthrough.

One particular comment:

> "Nginx's fastcgi and proxy caches just store the static-ified versions of dynamic content in flat files, and those files are accessed via the file system, which means they get cached into RAM whenever the file system decides they get cached into RAM. I had the free RAM, and Varnish's RAM-first approach felt like it would be faster."

The pagecache should do a pretty good job holding file contents in memory for you! https://tldp.org/LDP/sag/html/buffer-cache.html

I haven't had to tune for this scenario, but I think this might be the one place where you want a high swappiness (and some swap spaces). This will let Linux move unused bits of memory into swap & let even more ram be used for pagecache.
Happy to hear that the hook works well at least. I mostly do mobile development and custom scripts for third party integration for small businesses. Custom solutions make it really hard to present my work in a concise manner.
The main forcing function is gravity.

The second function is FAA regs.

Third is that most, but not all, pilots will not fly on aircraft that are out of maintenance schedule.

The universe of owners/operators that disregard the above is frequently the cartels or other criminal orgs.

The aircraft can also be used as a source of scrap parts, (IE, another person owns the same aircraft and wants to replace components that are no longer in production, so they buy this one), or it can be scrapped itself and used as say, a burning man art car, or a feature at a cool airbnb somewhere.
Those are some solid points that I didn't consider. Thank you.
>A linker typically only includes the parts of the library it needs for each binary so some parts will definately have many copies of the same code when you statically link but it will not make complete copies.

Just to add to what you said: in the old days the linker would include only the .o files in the .a library that were referenced. Really common libraries like libc should be made to have only a single function per .o for this reason.

But modern compilers have link time optimization, which changes everything. The compiler will automatically leave out any items not referenced without regard to .o file boundaries. But more importantly, it can perform more optimizations. Perhaps for a given program a libc function is always called with a constant for a certain argument. The compiler could use this fact to simplify the function.

I'm thinking that you might be giving up quite a lot of performance by using shared libraries, unless you are willing to run the compiler during actual loading.

Even without lto, you can have the same results in C++ by having your library in the form of a template- so the library is fully in the /usr/include header file, with nothing in /usr/lib.
This is very true. Maybe it's just perception, but from the outside, it feels like Google plays the most fast and loose of the mainstream options. Samsung and Apple seem more trustworthy.
Use for any kind of commercial operation forces you into stricter maintenance but for specifically private usage by an owner-pilot, TBO is just a suggestion.
No, you're not, because tradeoffs and risk tolerances isnt meet for the paper. The paper is about the practice of closing the lid, that it is ineffective, and suggests surface sanitation as the alternative. It seems that people get triggered by the topic though and read in both a command and moral judgement to get offended at.

She's worth maybe $200mm at the beginning of 2023 so invest half in USA equities.

$100mm in SP500 and NVDA is 4% of SP500 so purchase $4mm in NVDA stock at beginning of 2023.

Price increased 237% in 2023. $9.48mm gain.

I don't see how a 500k gain is considered at all noteworthy considering her asset size and considering NVDA's huge gain.
It is honestly low for the role. It's actually a worldwide problem that we don't pay politicians enough and as such we discourage people going into politics for reasons other than pure narcissism.

Senior engineers, senior managers and above all make that sort of money but without the horrible lifestyle of politics. Would you trade a Bay Area engineering career for that? I wouldn't. Yet whenever it's even suggested to raise politician wages for the sake of those politicians who aren't already billionaires there's uproar.

Let me be blunt. You don't get talent without paying for it. The USA's mix of political backgrounds has become a monoculture of wealthy lawyers and investment bankers. We don't have enough representation from other careers in politics and it'll ruin us if we don't fix it, namely by increasing the salary of a highly stressful career to ensure we encourage the best and brightest to sign up for it.
My understanding is that WebKit (Safari) and Blink (Chrome) both have extremely complex smart pointer types and GCs and allocators such that they count as memory-safe, at least in comparison to regular C++. I don't know how much this applies to Firefox but I would assume they have similarly elaborate infrastructure.

Large portions of each browser are also written in JS ("self-hosted") at this point, and Firefox now contains large components either written in Rust or sandboxed (via wasm) C.

This rule does seem like an easy way to reject literally every browser other than Servo, though.
> What is the forcing function?

Uh, the fatal nature of airplane crashes? The next forcing function on the list is called the FAA.
The adoption and cost decrease is so ridiculously fast that the first two charts should have been logarithmic instead of linear.
Yep. I’m not an accountant or even a manager, but even I know that. Apparently the Post Office testified many times that the transaction record _was_ immutable, even though Fujitsu knew that records could be edited or even lost at any time. And it appears that their own customer service employees would edit transactions all the time, to correct perceived mistakes. And it would appear that this might even make the problem worse, as the Horizon system could fail to correctly merge those changes down the line. It could silently revert the edits or silently drop entire transactions as if they had never happened.

Don't worry, they've planned their revenge: https://www.10news.com/news/local-news/state-regulators-hear... At least SDGE (and maybe more utils?) are proposing income based fixed rates so that solar homes will have to pay more. I have no issue with fixed grid access fees so that solar users can pay their part, but grid access fees should be equal for every household and the utilities need to figure out how to stop being so profitable and serve their communities

Also, note that this is not OS update which is causing havoc (as per the article). Google Play system updates are different[1].

You are absolutely owed upvotes on your special post. It says a lot about the state of the world and society in general that your first time posting didn’t get the upvotes you think it should have.

I applaud, starting with a slow clap and transitioning to uproarious applause, your smart trick of hacking the system by sending out a newsletter devoid of content to ensure people saw your content got the upvotes it deserved, and salute your magnanimity in this follow up post.

It is not necessarily about "solving" but more about minimizing. I encounter far fewer cheaters on the few consoles I do game on than on the online PC games I play, largely because the barrier of entry to doing cheats on those consoles are much higher. It is not impossible to run cheats on the console but requiring hardware mods, not being able to run certain patch levels, risking blacklisting that hardware identifier, etc. mean far fewer people are willing to do it compared to just running another executable on your computer before you launch the game.
I can't tell here whether it's true or not but many complain about it getting worse around COVID. I moved during it so it's hard to tell but it's pretty bad. It's annoying to always have to look at the pavement while walking around.

I remember this being somewhat of an issue as a kid in the same area but it's hard to gauge how it's changed because I was a kid then and a parent now.

I can't imagine how these terms won't eventually swatted down as malicious compliance. I'd really like to see Apple fined something like 20% of global revenue, or something like that. Teach them a lesson, seems like they need one.
I wonder if companies built Hadoop clusters for large jobs and then also use them for small ones.

At work, they run big jobs on lots of data on big clusters. The processing pipeline also includes small jobs. It makes sense to write them in Spark and run them in the same way on the same cluster. The consistency is a big advantage and that cluster is going to be running anyway.
> so really just using Linux under the hood

Yeah, but with Windows GUI along with fractional scaling, device, and etc support haha. I've developed on both bare Linux and for years in Linux VMs. Saying Windows+WSL is "really just linux under the hood" does this setup a massive disservice. It makes me smile every time I type WSL into the terminal lol.

PV solar has been pulling away from CSP in terms of cost, but I wonder if the deepening duck curve means CSP could claw its way back? AIUI one advantage of CSP is that in theory you can heat the working fluid at one point of the day but actually use the energy later.

Responsibility? Sanity?

The real question is why do other countries just push the problem of their trash onto other poorer countries or destroy their own land with toxic trash heaps. Even if you have plenty of space to fill with garbage why wouldn't you want to keep it clean/unpolluted? No matter how much square footage my house has, I'm still going to put my trash in a bin and take it outside instead of throwing it on the carpet and sweeping it into a corner.
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ETOPS, you can just pull into an emergency airport in case of a redundant system failure. Unfortunately, a lot of Russian emergency airports are closed off right now, making travel to Asia more difficult.

> With three phones and a one-in-eight chance of being affected (assuming 50% for each phone)

1/8 would be the chance to have all 3 affected. The chance of having at least one affected would be 1-1/8.
Except it can't "always" be released under the current terms. If the developer has ever released an app under the new terms, they're forced into them for all their future apps, forever. Likewise if they ever intend to release a different app under the new terms, all their old apps would be retroactively moved to the new terms.

The irrevocable and all-or-nothing aspect will make it pretty much impossible for any serious developer to ever choose the new terms. Just as Apple intended.
So now I need to install nerd font and this software on all clients' machines and VMs and whatnot. Asking IT departments for permission and waiting for compliance check.

State policy is fundamental to the entire green revolution. None of it would have been possible without nations incentivizing it. Eventually once the entire energy generation/consumption cycle is entrenched and we are all dependent on it, they can safely take away the incentives.

It's a bit like changing the tires on a moving bus. Somebody had to pay for the new tires and wheels, and the support truck to run along side the bus, and the extra fuel, and a discount for the new tires, etc. Once the new tires are on the bus can keep driving without support.
I imagine the reason to cherry pick a single bad thing is because the list of all of them would be too long to be of practical use.

On the other hand, I agree that the person you're responding to didn't make a strong argument by posting something unrelated to solar energy manufacturing and deployment. No more than you did by responding with "but what about the USA...". Neither are helpful, salient, or convincing.
And I still don’t get all the hype and marketing around it.
