I prefer the simplicity of Erlang, Elixir is a much larger language and has some quirks.
You can do a lot with R7RS. But be aware that Scheme is one language for which you might have to stray from the standard to get something done -- unlike in some other languages, where sticking to the standard is usually viable.

The reason I mentioned community around a particular implementation/dialect is because that's where a lot of the activity is. Sadly, the death of Usenet brought down the great `comp.lang.scheme`.

I agree with this, but then look at Uber: Without the cooperation and approval of Apple and Google via their respective developer programs and app stores, they wouldn't exist because you couldn't do notifications or location in webapps at the time.

There are myriad examples like this of downright giant startups that would not exist if they refused to proceed just because Apple can veto them. Instagram is probably the largest example. Look what happened to Tumblr.
> AFAIK until the switch to 64-bit architectures, int actually was the natural word size

32-bit int is still arguably the native word size on x64. 32-bit is the fastest integer type there. 64-bit at the very least often consumes an extra prefix byte in the instruction. And that prefix is literally called an "extension" prefix... very much the opposite of native!
> the Virtual Desktop app which might be good, but I didn't feel like paying for it at the moment.

Virtual Desktop has a ton of features, but only permits one virtual display.

For me, the unlimited virtual displays with unconstrained resolution offered by the free SteamVR overlay Desktop+ is the best way to work. Seems plenty sharp to me, and not limited to 1080p resolution like Meta Remote Desktop. I can pop browser tabs into their own floating windows separate from my main virtual displays, and set up a floating portrait window for discord or slack.

Immersed is a non-starter for me bc of their subscription requirement to have anything approaching a decent monitor setup. Their sales tactics and YouTube spam are also a turnoff. It’s also nowhere near as customizable as what I was describing above, which has been fantastic.
The world needs to accelerate solar and wind, and use oil to do that. And oil needs to peak. It'll have to work out that way, because the vast majority of the USA is experiencing what climate change really means with the massive fires in the warm months and the ever descending polar vortex in the winter. Things will shift faster and faster as people can't breathe and or freeze.

Ever since I had my proprietary rich text note taking application/database corrupt and become inaccessible in the early 2000s I've used a single notes.txt file with filepaths for noting images and other rich media.

The Shapes of Snowflakes (2014)
It seems like they're worried that interning of objects/records would be too expensive to do generally. It's hard to predict though: that overhead would only apply to new code using R&T and has to be weighed against the elimination of recursion for deep comparisons and freezing, fewer re-renderings when value-equal but not reference-equal objects are encountered, the greater possibility of memory reuse across deep clones, and other performance optimizations that would be unlocked by true immutability.

Aside from performance, true native immutability would bring huge improvements to how JS programmers can reason about their code. Not having to worry about mutation makes a whole class of possible bugs disappear. Having to rely on third party libraries (or deep freezing manually) for immutability is really holding back the language.
The PhD's cheaper.
That's fair. I guess i was hoping that the customer experience would improve naturally as in most other sectors.
I'd also add that a huge use for LLMs and vectors in the enterprise is to build queries against production data. Keeping the vector DB external to your RDBMS or other production data store is a unique chance to amplify performance without excess latching and other performance hits against the same database you count on for day to day business. Like external super smart indexes.
> there's no way an US or European farmer can compete with Russian, Ukrainian, South American or African labor and land costs

For certain agricultural goods perhaps, but the Midwest is the most productive region for agriculture on the planet. Russia and Ukraine have vast areas of land, they focus on wheat because they mainly have marginal land and a limited growing season and wheat is perfect for that. Most of Africa and much of South America (Argentina being a notable exception) have terrible soil and require significantly more fertilizer to grow crops at scale. Labor is cheaper in those regions but that’s only one factor and it’s why so much farm labor has been automated in the US.

Better commuter rail/light rail is desirable. On the other hand, a commute is still a commute. I'm actually quite convenient to a commuter rail station that ties into the city's subway quite well. But I pretty much hate commuting into the city on the few days I have to do it because it still takes a big chunk out of my day.

If the speed isn't actually fast, then transportation needs to be improved.

The iMacs prior to Apple Silicon were actually pretty good computers at a decent price everything considered, especially for the display indeed. And if you went with the big one like you did, you could actually upgrade most of the stuff easily, no Apple tax.

I am actually rather mad they stopped making them because it was clearly the best value in the whole Apple lineup, but also lowkey one of the best computers you could buy for the price (unless you needed something exotic or massive amounts of power).

And to be clear, I'm not saying all Apple customers are fools but I am saying that Apple are taking all its customers for fools, including the ones who supported them in their hard times in the PPC days and it feels rather greedy and nasty to me. But some of them try to justify every penny-pinching decision Apple makes and those ones I do think are complete fools and they do not help the case...

TBH I was thinking of getting a 5K iMac to do something similar but T2 Macs are kind of a pain in the ass so it doesn't feel ideal, especially since the 5K LGs are less expensive second-hand than the iMacs.

My fear is that it's going to take quite a while after they go downhill to go back to something acceptable, the way I see it, Tim Cook is dilapidating the brand to make a quick buck but ah well...

You could do quite a lot with a small amount of RAM. And if you were using the front panel switches (not on the acorn I suppose) you didn't want a large program!
Sorry, I'm a bit naïve about all of this.

Why is this impressive? Can this result not be achieved by throwing more compute at the problem to speed up responses? Isn't the fact that there is a queue when under load just indicative that there's a trade-off between "# of request to process per unit of time" and "amount of compute to put into a response to respond quicker"?

My recommendation is to start moving to some other closed platform that is not part of Google search like Facebook, Twitter, Youtube (yes I know Google owns it but its still not part of the search ecosystem).

This is a serious problem. Internet marketplaces are so big now that its really hard to even have a business without them at all.

I think that after a certain size, these marketplaces should be regulated to insure due process between the parties. That way the whims of the marketplace owner can't destroy thousands of prosperous businesses at the push of a button.

We have similar regulations for utilities. The power company can't kick you out on a whim. I think the same rationale applies here.
I think they just mean that the incidence is much higher in that group than would otherwise be expected.

Not all lung cancers are related to smoking, but I'm not aware of any where smoking decreases incidence or is protective.
That's for throughput not latency, in automotive/realtime systems, you care about the latter and only slightly about the former. The real piece to that is that the modules themselves have to do the fragmentation, so their send queue can reorder things since each message is "pre" broken up, meaning that something that has a lot of sensor data and also some keep alive signals and some safety critical signals can interleave the safety and keep alive with the fragmented raw data by prioritizing at the send queue level, whereas if the data was being fragmented at the protocol level, that would potentially clog the queue when something even more time critical should be going out.

In Boston/Cambridge I could probably get by if I mostly didn't leave the city but I know lots of people outside the city and I do lots of activities that would be outside the city. Unlike Manhattan, the assumption is that you have a car as an adult if you aren't right out of school. There's one job I had (for about 1.5 years) that I could have managed without a car.

I think you're generally OK if most of your activities work via transit and Uber. As you suggest, as well, kids and pets probably make things more difficult.

This is an interesting question to answer in a way that works regardless of mathematical background; let me try something a bit handwavy.

The way people are taught about the real numbers is typically a progression, you work with integers as a child, get your head around negative numbers etc., eventually you are shown "algebra" and equation solving, and you will be introduced to "roots" as solutions. You'll learn about e.g. sqrt(2) as the solution to 2=x^2 and probably have some discussion of irrational numbers then, rather than rationals, but it may miss most details. If you study in university at all you'll probably get some sort of lecture on countable vs. uncountable infinities and probably not look too closely unless it's a pretty mathematically oriented class.

Along the way you'll also be introduced to "special" numbers, pi and e at the minimum, usually motivated from somewhere else (e.g. we "found" pi due to geometry, e comes from logs, etc.).

So the picture you get is that you have all the "normal" every day numbers, then some more a little bit weird like sqrt(2), and a few special ones like "pi" and "e" that are useful.

Truth is, from the point of view of the reals, this is all backwards.

Numbers like 1,1/2, sqrt(2), etc. are called "algebraic" because you can find a polynomial equation with integer coefficients that has it as a solution (so x^2=2 means sqrt(2) is algebric, x=7 means 7 is, etc.). Anything non-algebric is called transcendental. Pi is transcendental, as is e, which means no matter how hard you try you can't find a polynomial of that type such that ax^n + bx^n-1 + ... = pi. It turns out to be hard to prove that something is transcendental, we have only proven a double handful or so.

So the weird part is transcendental numbers are "almost all" of them. In a technical sense: the set of transcendental numbers has measure 1 in the field (of real numbers,o r complex for that matter).

One way to think about it is if I gave you a bucket containing the real numbers between [0,100] and you randomly picked numbers out for the rest of your life, you would expect to never pick an algebraic number.

So all the numbers all humans use for day to day math and accounting, as well as most scientific math, etc. (obvious pi, e and friends contribute) ... all those number come from a subset of the reals so small as to be negligible in the grand scheme of things. To a first approximation, the reals consist of numbers nobody ever uses :)
To be clear, I have never nor will I ever likely work at Google or any of its competitors. I have spent an ungodly amount of time building (and breaking) affiliate sites / information sites / et al as side projects.

Different positions require different interviews, and I think it aligns well with the argument that someone's ability to review code well is not a direct indication of their ability to be effective as an engineer.
I'm not sure you can declare everything that ever received government funding as invented by the government. Jets are "just" pressurized cabins? Why ignore the Wright brothers in this story? Aren't jets really "just" fast planes? And ARPANET is "just" telegrams with computers. On that note, computers were not invented by the government, although they recieved a lot of funding from them.

I don't think oversimplifying this issue helps us discuss it seriously.

Finding trustworthy reviews and recommendations via Google is useless. The first few pages are always littered by the lowest quality, highest SEO-spam content, and the recommendations on these pages are so shallow and inauthentic that I know the person that wrote the article has never even looked at the product they're shilling. And so often these lists are literally the same list of 20 products slightly re-arranged.

Reddit is also really hit and miss, depending on the community. TikTok has been ruined by TikTok Shop.

Small YouTube channels seem to be where it's at for now - but even then it's sometimes hard to tell if it's an honest review, or a paid video, and YouTubers do a terrible job disclosing paid promotion/free products.

There surely must be a better option.
Understandable. Wish you guys best of luck irrespective.
Well, I haven't written any Elixir yet, so I'm probably saying that without really knowing.

The main thing, and maybe I just am missing something, but I don't really understand what the point of the 'do' in Elixir's 'with' is? In Erlang you just have the maybe and anything that would go in that do block would just go inside the maybe expression. That seems a lot better to me.

I also just prefer the look of Erlang's maybe. I think maybe is a clearer name for what the statement is doing and the lack of the 'do' block looks better to me and makes it easier to read.

Seems pretty clear to me. This person had a similar idea but didn't complete it, and finds the flavor of appreciative "nice hack" energy (as opposed to "this is enterprise" or "this is a revolution" energy, I guess) appropriate for the project and the type of feedback they had wanted to hear had they completed their project.
"boring" is subjective
VLAs were optional in C11 and compilers that supported them in C99 also supported them in C11. The only important compiler not supporting VLAs is MSVC, but this compiler also did not support other features from C99. People using MSVC were stuck using an obsolete version of C for a long time. Recently this changed and MSVC started to support C11 and C17 - skipping C99.
You need a lot more zoning capacity than housing demand because for various reasons buildings don’t turn over very quickly.
