The abiding value of Lisp may be that it's a talking point, in the idea of what a programming language is.

Forth has a similar quality. The reductionist sweetspot of "implemented as a stack language" and "one step up from machine code"

C is the "no guide rails" conversation. Some would say it's one step down from assembly because it has none of the rigour and only some of the speed. That lack of rigour, the ability to cast within a memory region if you know how your structure maps into that region, I find extremely useful. Pascal's version of it was more clumsy but that said, perhaps the semicolon (and full stop) alone make Pascal part of the C family.

(you can't directly compute over a value in both float and int in assembler if you are in the ALU/FPU register space. You do "cheats" which are not rigorous, but more rigorous than C)
Why do you believe the government seeks to control us? Genuine question
I responded to you in earnest (no AGI needed for the conclusions to hold in this paper) but I’ve realized that you’ve also posted the same link under two other submissions. It is not great practice to plug your own stuff in places where they are clearly off topic.
My applications have very few exception handlers and most don't do any "handling" at all except logging.

My most robust application is a desktop application with a single exception handler at the event loop that merely prints the exception message in an a message box. If you try and save a file to a bad network location or something, just click ok and try again.
You mean like search?
Yes, for browsers the window for what qualifies as being recent enough to be safe has shrunken dramatically. I’d be on edge about using a browser that hadn’t been updated in even one year… if I had to use a 2+ years outdated browser, I’d have it locked down (NoScript installed, bells and whistles like webfonts disabled, etc) and be much more cautious than I am normally.
No, but usually they are trying to prove a point like ‘lazy solutions have great beginnings but don’t end well’. This time it was different and I might be living under a rock but never heard of weight loss drugs.
I'm not sure where they got that number from, but when the two cables were put there many years ago the stated capacity at that time was 40Gb/s for each of the cables (though that capacity was not meant to be used at full back then).
Source: I worked on the network setup that was going to be used by NASA. (The main funding of this cable was not NASA, but in any case it was used by NASA to replace a much slower and more complicated satellite link)
Solar thermal requires lots of pipes that you pump molten salt and/or steam through, it's far more expensive than PV. The efficiency doesn't matter as much as the cost, unless you're limited by land to build grid PV on.

There are no moving parts in PV or these bricks, which means they'll have near-zero maintenance costs.

Also I'm pretty sure solar thermal can't heat steel - it relies on steel pipes throughout the entire system.
Thank you for posting this list, I really appreciate it.
I always use SmartGit, another GUI. (I've lauded it to all and sundry, but have yet to inspire a new devotee...)
Spot on, but you missed two gnubbies and another password.
> Mercurial got the "user interface" and command-set right and has some nifty features (being able to launch a web server on the fly to get a tree view of your changes) but being written in Python, performance and scalability aren't ideal.

I used to think Mercurial had a better UI but I changed my mind after taking the time to understand Git. Mercurial does have nifty features but Git's way of working isn't hard or especially counterintuitive. You must learn the terminology to properly understand it, but after that it's smooth sailing. Git actually has fewer moving parts than Mercurial, as there are less extraneous features. Instead of 3 or more categories of "branch-like" graph structures like Mercurial, you get branches as refs in Git. Every named leaf in the commit graph is a branch or a tag, and those have simple properties. There are surely git plugins to add more metadata but you don't really need that.

Git too has a web interface by default: https://git-scm.com/docs/gitweb Of course there are many Github-like solutions specifically catered to hosting repos and entire project workflows with Git too.
I thought the post was half-over when I realized I was at the end. I was expecting a lesson based on evidence, but it was a bunch of personal background and then a hypothesis without any data to back it up.

EDIT: interesting to see this is now flagged. I wouldn't have flagged it, but I was surprised to see how quickly it was being upvoted. It's not offensive or anything — just no there there.

But this doesn't answer the question asked, which is why there's an assumption that women are superior dating prospects on these apps.

You actually made the same implication again just now:

> Men typically have a hard time matching, making it hard for them to find the person they want but also making them feel desperate. On the other hand women don't have a hard time getting a match, but the quality of their matches is low.

This again implies men are not also experiencing low quality matches at similar rates. They are.

That's the point that seems to be being glossed over repeatedly in this thread.
I wasn't aware audio hardware on laptops can emit ultrasound. Aren't those filtered to be below 22KHz?
This is the thing that bothers me - we’re just talking about doing math, doing more thinking, doing more speech. That’s what these models are.

It is, we'll go with, weird, to presume a random news article making baseless claims is correct over the, like, actual people who addressed the problem.

I'll reiterate, no one involved in the restoration (Unisuper or Google) ever said anything about Google's backups being deleted, in fact basically everything Google and Unisuper have said specific that it was only the VM config that was removed. Ars made up the thing about backups being deleted, which makes an exciting headline, but it doesn't appear at all reliable or based in reporting, just conjecture.
I think it ends rather abruptly because what I expected is their experience of what happened with the offer they got.

When America was 'great,' according to data
The first issue I ran into was wanting to learn a replacement for one of the only vim-fu’s I know, which is like ci’ to replace what’s inside single quotes on the current line. After getting help from the (super nice!) community the answer was too complex and I moved back to vim.

I imagine these types of problems generalize since everyone has their own little muscle memories and workflows. It’s hard to replace such an entrenched tool. I’m always rooting for the new underdog though.
We once booked a night on Rebak Island, next to Langkawi, Malaysia.

The day before our arrival I receive a call that a boat somehow broke the water pipe which lies on the bottom between Rebak and Langkawi, cutting the island off from fresh water, and whether I wanted to rebook to another hotel.

Not sure what the moral of the story is, but it kinda fitted the context :)
I thought it wouldn’t end well for the “rich” people - they would end up with some consequences like man-bear-pig or participating in fads like Prime energy drink.

But it wasn’t great either. Cartman never got thin, randy never got thin, women got abs - and maybe super high cravings/addiction to the drug.

That got me thinking, are they saying that this drug is legit but expensive because of the messed up healthcare system or its just a rick people fad and get them to do stupid things.
Helix is my daily driver. I love it! Kakoune's editing model, built in tree sitter and LSP, works great with zero config. My only gripes are I wish it had Kakoune's client-server model and collaborative editing.
I’m sorry, but would you mind clarifying that last statement? Is Long Island a hotbed of cancer? Did you move to Long Island to work with cancer patients?
edit: my bad, not a random blogger
To replace inside single quotes, you can do `mi'c`. There's nothing to restrict it to the current line, but you will see the selection before you hit c. That's the big benefit of the noun-verb model that Helix uses.
I find aliasing a lot of these saves me a good chunk of time and reduces the barrier to better organize my work.

I think they taught the value in letting others know to NOT put things together yourself that you cut an operational cable and report it to police yourself voluntarily.
I think weight loss is more than just calories in/out. Maybe our body reacts to adapt to situations and tried to change the body shape to make it easier for itself. So I think healthy habits are more important and can depend on genetic history too.
People touting automation rarely follow up after the initial effort in my opinion

For example, i work on heavy diesel trucks. We've had tire machines to mount and unmount tires for 40 years now. Machines still can't so the entire process though.
I'm kinda the opposite way, now. The normal mode in Helix feels great to me; you press space and get an annotated menu of keyboard shortcuts. Space + f drops you into a file search for the current directory. Space + w + h gives you a split, Space + w + w switches splits, and closing any one is a quick :q! away. To me it feels the closest I've seen a terminal editor get to that VS Code comfort of everything being at arm's reach. But it does take a bit of exploring to find the good parts; I also recommend micro to people that don't enjoy the modal editing lifestyle.

Since there are other decent dynlangs out there, the benefits are less about the surface language aspect, and more about the process of getting to a solution. These are the system aspects of lisp that enable an incremental development workflow with a lightning-fast feedback loop. While there are important language features that support this, it's ultimately a "whole is more than the sum of its parts" effect.

I'd recommend checking out videos of people developing systems in lisp. Off the top of my head:

Not everyone has to care as much about the same things as you do.

It's ok for some things to just be a business transaction.
Read once here, the best cheat sheet is one you create yourself. In my case, with fish shell or bash history search with fzf, I've effectively created a cheat sheet of commands I frequently tend to use with working examples. Seems to be working for me so far.

Steve Gibsons was always a bit of a laggard in adopting things through. He was writing pages about how assembly languages create small programs in the late 90s when that advantage was no longer relevant, running a newsgroup server and hooking up a web UI as a web forum, and so on.

For years I wondered why electron orbitals are shaped the way they are - for instance why does the 3d orbital have two lobes and a donut? Only after learning about spherical harmonics did it finally click from an intuitive sense.

Münster University has a great set of videos which helped me understand the how orbitals relate to harmonic modes of a sphere. Check them out:

Thanks. I have a copy of Thunderbird. Maybe tried it, but should try it again. Of course, if the email has the HTML, JS, etc. of a complicated Web page, Thunderbird would have to have full Web browser functionality or pass the HTML part to a Web browser.

Maybe I could just write some simple code to read the actual email, find the Web page part, and send it to Firefox.

> It's always possible to gravely misinterpret anything anyone says, no matter how carefully they say it.

> So you're giving a really unfair interpretation because no one is saying they're equally bad. They're (I'm) just saying that you're going to die in both situations

It is also possible for a person to simply contradict themselves.

What you are saying is they are equally bad outcomes.

You're also simultaneously implying that one is objectively worse than the other in every possible way.
For someone getting very aggressive for words "being put in your mouth", you're not really paraphrasing that Cloudflare CEO very fairly.

He was specificity responding to someone complaining it's still in Google's cache, by stating that "The caches other than Google were quick to clear [..] I agree it's troubling that Google is taking so long.".

By leaving out this context, and phrasing it a "strategy", is not a fair paraphrasing. These bits matter. Two things can be true at the same time: 1) Cloudflare messed up, and 2) Google is very slow to deal with this, and also messed up. Indexing all of the web comes with some responsibilities.

Please apply the same standards to yourself that you impose on others with such aggression and hostility.
Maybe? I don’t need to read and calculate every iteration of some loop to understand that it’s mapping. While if I need to determine the actual output value of a function, I might.

Which open source projects are you using and you like? Try to contribute to them.

Start sending bug reports that are very useful and dometimes underestimated. Look how/where they fix them and the next time try to send a pull request (or another bug report).

Fixing typos in docs is also a good starting point.

If you want to send a new feature, start with something small, like a weekend project. You never know if the mantainer will like it, or if they are morons or if they have very weird code rules.
Yeah I was going to say they seem to be equating anybody doing "office work" as being "high skill" and there are tons of mediocre hacks in office jobs doing menial, brain-dead work. I think those people will continue to do menial, brain-dead work, except now it will leverage AI.

95% of people or some ridiculously high number like that used to be involved directly in agriculture in some way. Now a small percentage of americans do farm labor. If you told someone in 1845 that in 2024, only 10% of americans were working on farms, they would probably naively assume that the vast majority of us would be living lives of idle leisure, when what actually happened is that automation just made different, more advanced work economical to engage in.

There is not a limited amount of work that can be done, and if we relieve people from having to do some kinds of labor, they'll figure out how to spend their time doing stuff that would have been unimaginable before.

The scenario that I bring up a lot is that there is not a limited amount of movies and books that could be produced a year. We only produce the amount we do because that's how much we can produce _economically_. But if you had a super powerful AI that could actually cheaply produce movies on demand near the quality of professional movie makers (something that I don't imagine will happen any time soon, but it's the "worst-case-scenario" for creative workers), people will be spending their time making their own personal streaming service -- movies just for them, on demand. TV shows that never end, tailored for the individual's taste. There could literally be 10s of billions of hours of media produced a year, all of it at the quality of a modern block buster -- all of it that might be viewed by only a single person. And there will still be plenty of jobs available at the companies that are producing that media.
Why would you want to break it up?

If the input is not a spreadsheet, use a tool appropriate to the scale of the data store. Provide an api for access from Excel if end users need Excel.

If input is an Excel but the integrity of the data as a spreadsheet doesn’t matter,

If it is an Excel already, Excel provides end users with access from Excel. If the Excel is likely to outgrow Excel, use a tool appropriate to the scale of the data. Provide an api for access from Excel if end users need Excel.
