Just because there are other sources of misconceptions about Lisp doesn't justify Clojure being one.
Clojure could help by emphasizing that it's a Lisp-like language, which is different from other Lisps. On the clojure.org home page, there is this paragraph:

Clojure is a dialect of Lisp, and shares with Lisp the code-as-data philosophy and a powerful macro system. Clojure is predominantly a functional programming language, and features a rich set of immutable, persistent data structures. [...]

It would be helpful if this said something like:

Clojure is a dialect of Lisp. Though sharing with other dialects the code-as-data philosophy and a powerful macro system, it is very different from the original LISP of John MacCarthy, and the subsequent mainstream languages like Common Lisp and Scheme that are in contemporary use. Unlike these, Clojure is predominantly a functional programming language, and features a rich set of immutable, persistent data structures. [...]

I noticed that the syntax highlighting for the Go html/template examples in the article is incomplete. We're using Go html/templates on a new project (within a team that does a lot of React frontend & some Python) so this kind of project seems like it would really suit, but a massive bugbear has been the very poor IDE-level syntax highlighting support for Go html/templates. Can anyone recommend a good syntax highlighter for Go html/template in VSCode for example? None of the main/official/popular addons seem to get this right.

Seems a pretty unexpected oversight from a language from Google.
I looked up this journal, eClinicalMedicine, and it would be considered a pretty high-end medical one (impact factor = 15). However, this finding indeed seems like rubbish. The p-value for their central claim is p = .03. When bold claims come with these types of p-values, they generally don't replicate. I didn't look into what questionnaire the authors used, but they may have very well tried a bunch of correlations and this is what stuck.

It's surprising that this type of stuff can still get published in such high journals. This just makes me think that the field of medicine is failing to grapple with its replication issues. The social sciences get more heat for bad research, but I can't imagine that this type of stuff would fly today in a remotely comparable Psychology journal.

However, to be fair to the authors, those individual numbers you point out are the quantity with lymphoma and it would be more proper to say the sample sizes were n = 1398 for the tattoo group and n = 4193 for controls. There's also nothing really wrong with having unbalanced samples here. It's either be unbalanced or throw out control data... regardless, the barely significant p-value is the biggest concern. (If you're wondering how to judge a study's robustness, the easiest and generally most effective way is to just look at the p-values).
FWIW, it's a 2.5 second extra to say "Although you don't need big data, but if you insist, ..." and gimme the hadoop answer.
It is easier to write complex queries in SQL instead of AWK. I know both AWK and SQL, and I find SQL much easier for complex data analysis, including JOINS, subqueries, window functions, etc. Of course, your mileage may vary, but I think most data scientists will be much more comfortable with SQL.

Nah, there's more than enough housing for everybody; quite obvious by the observable fact that people have a roof over their heads, lol.

The value of currency went down significantly, i.e. actual inflation is massive. Salaries didn't go up as much, not even close, and here we are.

Yeah, that makes sense if Paris is just 15 blocks across, and the Eiffel Tower is a couple of blocks wide, and there's nothing (observable) outside Paris.
The problem is pretty easy to fix. 50-70% of homes (Depends on Area) are owned by people over 58-70 (Baby Boomers). They don't have good senior apartment/living options. Make more senior housing and provide incentives for them to sell their homes. There are so few available affordable senior apartment options. It's really saddening. Most places have 5-10 year waiting lists, if the waiting list is open at all.

Fixing senior living options will create inventory in the market and give seniors better choices with an active community.
One thing I learned building a similar system to Noop, the authors of this article, is that people don't want to program logic in Yaml. Those of us that do, only do so because we are forced to for things like GitHub Actions, not because we want to. Using CEL would be better than something bespoke if you are going to add this to a Yaml based DSL

No, it's the value of the dollar in free fall and our purchased economists not talking about it. It's the value of the dollar as reflected by the rest of the planet's confidence in the US, which is dropping faster than Trump can fall asleep and fart.
A good clickbait title. One should credit the author for that.

As to the topic, IMO, there is a contradiction. The only way to handle big data is to divide it into chunks that aren’t expensive to query. In that sense, no data is "big" as long as it’s handled properly.

Also, about big data being only a problem for 1 percent of companies: it's a ridiculous argument implying that big data was supposed to be a problem for everyone.

I personally don’t see the point behind the article, with all due respect to the author.

I also see many awk experts here who have never been in charge of building enterprise data pipelines.
Yes. Even, "Yes, of course".

I enjoy being able to feel where the button is and is not without looking or guessing. It's such a huge thing that it's worth putting tape on my Framework touch pad just to make a tactile demarkation to seperate the left button area from the right button area from the I-wish-this-were-not-a-button area, and also make the button area no longer sensitive so it doesn't move the pointer or register 2 fingers when one is on the tape. (actually I mostly just never use that garbage Apple-wannabe touch pad when I can possibly avoid it)

I enjoy unambiguous clicking only when I intended and never when I didn't.

I enjoy being able to rest my palm and thumb on the table and front of the machine without either unintended clicks or unintended pointer movement.

I enjoy only having to move my finger a small distance instead of my whole hand and wrist, or even my entire arm.

I enjoy unambiguous and immediate single motion drag-while-click more than error-prone and multi-step tapping gestures.

Replacing buttons with gestures was never a usability upgrade, it was a cost and appearance (for certain pathological extremes of appearance) upgrade to replace hardware with software. All the added flexibility that software allows over hardware is still available with or without the buttons so that is not a gain.

There is a problem on website data, where new features are only touching a subset of customers and you need results for every single one.

You wont be partitioned for this case, but the compute you need is just filtering out this set.

But sampling wont get what you want especially if you are doing QC at the business team level about whether the CX is behaving as expected.
This is assuming that electrical cars are "filled up" the same way as gas cars are. This is very far away from being as fast and convenient as filling up a gas tank in 1-2 minutes.

I like the model that you swap your low charge battery with a fully charged one. That would require some new technology.
To be pedantic - most places on Earth can get a contact with a polar orbiting satellite at least once or twice per day, however the number of contacts per day increases the closer you get to the poles. Svalbard is far enough north that you get lots of contacts per day. I forget the exact number and I don't have STK open in front of me to simulate it, but from memory it's something like 15 or so contacts per day for a typical earth observation orbit. This gives you lots of data and relatively frequent contacts to maximize the freshness of the imagery.

There are tons of commercial observation satellite operators that use Svalbard for downlink (downlinks at Svalbard can be procured commercially through a company called KSAT which operates the station). Ukraine has been purchasing a lot of imagery from these companies, including both optical and radar imagery. If I had to hazard a guess at a possible motive, that'd be it.
This just seems like a very specific way of implementing tree matching? Top-down graph matching instruction selection implementations look a lot like this if you squint (apply labels to child nodes, then have rules that fire on simple trees of labels, which gives you structural sharing of rules) but without the multiple explicit node types and specifying exactly a linked list and things. It being so specific to the implementation and not a high level overview of what the algorithm is trying to do is kinda weird and make it hard to understand, honestly.
yeah, fair enough. I don't think there one "right way" of looking at all this. I think it's important to keep all those things in mind at the same time, including what you're saying about standards and how they change over time.

My point was that when we look back at times of peaceful coexistence within empires, it was often the results of suppression of dissent. Empires are fundamentally at odds with national self determination. Empires are by definition violent subjugation of people and self-determination movements often require violence to counteract that.

It's easy to take past empires for granted and assume they are "how things are"; but when they fail and crumble they do so for a reason, they contain the seed of their own destruction, because they impose stability and order over internal and extern forces that push against them.
I recall a thread from someone from South America in the Slovenia subreddit, where they said they wanted to move to Europe because it's impossible to afford a home where they currently live. The response was basically "yeah, welcome to the club pal".

Sideloading.
You are correct. The point is radar in cars has really bad angular resolution so it can't distinguish stuff that's directly in front of you (like a stopped train on a crossing) from stuff that's just to the side (like signs). Since both signals appear identical to the radar, and you don't want your car to emergency brake every time you go past a sign, cars filter basically ignore stationary objects detected by radar.

That isn't what you want, but it's a limit of current commercially viable radar technology.
In Norway, people charge at home. EV stations are mainly for roadtrips. The gas station comparison does not make sense.
Why does your website just say “ROFLMAO” — pretty hard to take seriously.
You need to calculate how many charging stations you need at time of peak demand, like Thanksgiving weekend when half the country is making a road trip.

I am aware that this is the case, especially since I am European. However, this is a non-argument against my initial claim.

The top comment made a point implying that having home charging stations is only possible if you're living that suburban lifestyle (i.e. single family home/duplex with designated parking) but in a city with on street parking it is not.

Howver, most (bigger) european cities have some resemblance of decent public transport infrastructure and are less car-centered than US cities, making the move to non-car transportation much easier than in the US. For rural areas and suburbs, where people have to rely on cars, the initial argument doesn't even apply considering they are living the "suburban lifestyle" that has been deemed a non-issue from the go
US and other countries are moving to classify more and more things as "not a crime" like car theft or shoplifting. So don't hold your hope up.
Exactly. That's why it's hard to watch so many people claim it's a myth.

What I'm coming to realize is even worse is that many people do see how much more productive and capable other engineers can be, but make no effort to learn from them how they do what they do.

I have no doubt that natural talent is a big factor, but many specific behaviors can be learned, and they're probably worth trying when they're going to affect every day of a multi-decade long career. Some people understand this and become the best they can be within their natural talents, while most people just keep doing whatever they're doing while watching junior engineers zip right past them.

Situation in Europe is often reported in misleading ways. Everybody calls it "housing crisis" - but we do not have millions of homeless roaming the street. It is actually a "moving crisis" - people want to move to nicer places but can't afford it. I.e. here in Germany, we have close to 1M perfectly habitable empty flats/houses - but they are in rural areas or the countryside. Indeed there is high demand for urban areas and cities, at the same time rural villages struggle to find and retain their population because everybody (especially younger people) move to the city. You might have heard of those italian villages offering houses for 1€, just to attract families and keep those villages alive.
Is Microsoft killing the script host or the script itself?

If they're only killing VBscript and not the wscript.exe/cscript.exe scripting host, then Windows probably will still run the jscript variation of a script.

wscript and cscript since XP days and especially 7 have pretty much always been capable of running either pure ES3 or ES5. I think now we're just going to lose the VB style com objects.
Canada has had a "housing crisis" for 15 years now. The main campaigning ground of the opposition are issues with housing.
There’s another way to fix it. You can regulate financial speculators. In the US 1/4 of all US homes are owned by financial institutions. I doubt it’s very different in Europe unless they are regulated. This situation ensures only the rich can own a home as buyers are competing against hedge funds.

Crazy hypothesis: What if it ain't that simple?
My conclusion, rather, was that the Lisp family is the only family where people argue against languages belonging to that family. Your statement was that it's the only family where people argue for languages belonging to it.

Much of my reply was a response to the other clause I quoted, about no one arguing that JS, Java, and PHP, are "a C". I pointed out that the reason for that is simply that no one thinks of them that way, superficial syntax resemblances aside. There is in fact a C family, but it happens that you picked three languages where neither users of C family languages, nor users of the languages you mention, would argue that those three are a part of it.

You'll note that arguing for vs against is not a disagreement: if someone is arguing against inclusion, that rather implies that someone is is arguing for it. Rather, your last sentence posed a question, based on your observation. My reply, which explains why there's such an argument to begin with, was intended to answer it.

1.8M/year (55+ cohort) is potentially not fast enough to bring about housing policy change in a timely manner from this alone. Non market housing is also a necessary component besides YIMBY. Housing locked up from market forces is housing that can remain affordable.

I can easily see a saucer doing the same thing: accumulating enough steam for the buoyancy to tip it up to release a bubble.

I don't suspect your physical intutition here is so accurate that you can declare that it wouldn't work, without any empirical trials.

Milk watchers may be massive, but perhaps that may not be necessary to their function. It could just be marketing: differentiating them from other objects and justifying their purchase. Nobody would buy a milk watcher if it looked exactly like a saucer, of which they already have eight at home.

Not everything that has mass actually requires it for function, and it can even be counterproductive.

We processed and butchered our first two pigs earlier this year. Its not for the feint of heart, but I wouldn't trade the experience for anything.

We raised them from a few months old (we took them from a farm that was having to close) and did the entire processing and butchering process ourselves. The meat is night and day better than what you can buy in a store, the bacon is delicious, and we know the animal lived an excellent life and had a near instant end.
