I agree with this in general but I don't think minecraft falls into this trap because beating the ender dragon is so anticlimactic and trivial that it doesn't feel like you accomplished much. In terraria, an ostensibly similar sandbox game with a much more linear progression, if I beat the final boss, I really do feel like there's nothing else to do and stop playing that world. In modded minecraft packs with quest books, it's the same thing. But in vanilla minecraft, beating the ender dragon is just something you do because you want elytra wings.
I think it is challenging to find CL gigs now. My last gig before retiring a year ago was with a South Korean AI company that was all-in on Common Lisp, but after I retired someone there told me that they transitioned to Python. Still, if you love the language, just keep looking for CL jobs.

Horribly off topic, but: now that I am retired I thought that I would do all my experimental programming in Common Lisp and Racket, but in reality I am spending half my coding time using Python because of the ML, DL, and large language model tooling.
Huh. TIL.

I knew about the stotting, but figured it was for mating. The predator thing makes sense.

Hippos also hang out around humans a lot, which increases the chances of unfortunate misunderstandings (almost always resolving in favor of the hippo).

I remember visiting a village in Uganda, on the banks of the Nile.

They had a couple of jettys, going out into the river, and between them, a series of poles and whatnot. It looked like a fish hatchery.

Didn't matter. It was a hippo sofa. There was this hippo, just lying in the water, right in the middle of one of the busiest areas of the village. We were told that it was a regular. Everyone just ignored it.

The jury is still out, as to whether it is worse to be in front of an angry hippo, or behind an incontinent one.

I'll admit that I went quite far in your comment history to figure out if maybe those 5 closing parentheses were matching some long-lost post of yours, and as a Lisp addict you couldn't resist the temptation.

This is an incredible achievement. And i really don't like, that your comment invited other people to jump onboard & comment in a way belittling the achievements– even if just implicitly, to make themselves feel better why a high-schooler is doing things like that.

If all that was really the main driver, HN frontpage should be flooded with projects made by high-schoolers. But it is not. It might be contributing factor.

Btw: Funnily enough, i would expect these type of excuses & self-comforting negativity from high-schoolers.
Excel add-ins can be written with the Office JS API so that they can run on web as well as desktop for Windows and Mac. But I don't think OP's add-in is possible with that API unless the local model can be run in JS.
I hate the game, not the player. Should I just shut up about the fact that web is underdeveloped? Maybe I failed with the proper delivery, sorry about that. But having to deal with it too and having the past experiences with decent ui libraries leaves no room for confusion. It is absolute crap of an industry with bikeshedding, wheel engineering and endless massaging of parts that must have been solidified ages ago. Ofc one needs high level engineering to do all that, everyone would need it if forced to write for half-baked platform. But it’s no good thing that you have to do it, over and over.

People generally don't like having their immediate needs exploited by those seeking to proselytize an ideology. I'm not sure that's an "issue" that needs to be "worked on". If you're being altruistic and want to help people in need, the help you're offering is about them, not you -- if you make it about you, why would you be surprised when people doubt your intentions?

Imagine if the local library were destroyed, and a group came forward to organize book donations, but due to the religious beliefs of the people running the book drive, they only were willing to collect evangelical literature, and refused everything else.

Abortion is now even more pervasive in politics, expanded to state level elections and a forever issue... since the only way to a national law is through congress and any law can be modified, replaced, or removed by a change in the makeup of congress. It likely means cultural wars will dominate over policy debates, which is what the oligarchy wants... distraction of the pleebs so they can consolidate wealth and power even more. I think the only way to reframe and fix the path we are on is to build a coalition and move from culture war to class warfare

I don’t think representation needs to be a thing for a personal list on a blog. Government? Absolutely. Corporate? maybe. That said, of course there have been many critical female contributions in the field. However, it’s also a numbers game since CS academia has been very gender/sex lopsided to this day. So production would represent that (sad) reality.
This is some seriously impressive stuff.

The LA Fires Could Change the Insurance Industry
You misunderstood the request. Your original comment was claiming that there were many papers far more influential than any of the papers named that were by women. I was requesting evidence of this influence. In response you say that what, all of the references filling this thread are more influential than say Liskov or Allen? If not all, which ones?

The original comment you were responding to was pointing out that none of the papers listed were by women, and suggested several that were that are undeniably influential. Perhaps you think they aren't because you haven't read them, or presumably even heard of them?
There needs to be a counterbalancing variable, though; presumably you want to live in a city, otherwise you'd just live in the countryside somewhere with a TTS of zero :) Maybe the other factor is "time for pizza to arrive at door"?

1.) get an appropriate bowl of a form/color you like. the required size differs whether you want to use 1 or 3 led-bulbs. i used this ( https://edelrostshop.de/de-at/products/rost-metall-schale-o-... ) and painted it white (got them to deliver 20 pieces without rust). the bowl should be less than 2 kg. the point here is to face the light exclusively to the ceiling while preventing you ever seeing the light sources directly.

2.) mount a lamp suspension on the ceiling, something like this ( https://www.amazon.de/dp/B094HX42PN/ ).

3.) if you want 3 lightbulbs, just screw in a a 3-way splitter ( e.g. https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07VH7KKCH/ ). the benefit here is more and more upwards-facing light

4.) the final part is connecting the bowl to the lamp suspension. i just made 4 screws in the suspension and 4 holes in the bowls and connected with basically-invisible nylon strings. getting the nylon strings to be all the same size was tricky but doable.

The Age of Human Augmentation (2018)
I've been wondering for a while now if our indoor lighting is too dim. Even in the shade during midday you're looking at 20,000 lux. Overcast days look dark and dreary and they're on the 1000-2000 lux range.

Meanwhile home lighting is well below the 500 lux range, if not even in the 100-200.

I even suspect that the current near-sightedness epidemic is caused by people spending too much time in dim lighting. Maybe if our indoor lighting was brighter our eyesight would not adapt to become near-sighted as much.

Radar is where the reports die. I'd be amazed if Apple engineers didn't know about the thousands of things broken in Xcode. I can crash it in minutes just adding/removing controls and constraints. It shows there's minimal testing and even crash reports are ignored.

Most requested by whom? By PyPA members? -- these are some of the most useless people in the history of Python development. Python developer's mailing list that had people actually suggest anything useful for the future of the language / discuss features disappeared.

> I think you should develop some more perspective on this

I think you are willfully ignorant, and are upset that I pointed out to you how bad was the thing that you've done. I really don't need a lecturing from some shallow mind that screwed up a lot of people out of their ignorance and unwillingness to educate themselves.
> There is one where you need to look at time, look away and look again. The time will change or be in an impossible format if you're dreaming.

I did a bunch of lucid dreaming when I was younger (seems it was a lot easier then?), and even knowing things like that can end up making sense in the dream, you sometimes end up thinking "Well, it kind of makes sense the time went from 11:00 to 14:00 when I looked away, I did look away for quite a while".

For people who haven't lucid dreamed before, it might sound simple and almost stupid, but a lot harder when you're trying to look at your watch and everything makes sense but also not.

Xcode is trash and I’m very sad that JetBrains discounted AppCode. It made things bearable even if I still had to use Xcode for certain tasks.

My biggest complaint with Xcode is speed. It’s feels incredibly laggy to me. Auto-complete is slow and error reporting is insanely slow. I hope you like typing code and then 5-30 seconds later the IDE shows an error (normally a bad one).

I’ve never had a good experience writing code in Xcode. Often I’ll just open the files in IDEA to have sane hotkeys, my plugins, multiple cursors, and the list goes on and on and on.
deregulation is ways great for the economy
I'm using:

FreeOTP (OTP tool)
Simple Chess Clock (once a year)
Binary Eye (QR code scanner)
Etar (Calendar)
Simple Notes Pro (Very nice and simple note taking app)
OsmAnd (Maps with great path details for hiking)
This needs to be done VERY slowly over a long period of time. Any fast solutions will result in massive economic problems because the economy doesn't have enough time to adjust.

Violent criminals can be deported immediately, those on welfare should be next (but given enough time so they can at least save up money and not end up homeless when they reach their original country), then those not working should be deported, then lastely those working should be given a chance to self deport or promise a self deportation timeframe.

Mass deportations of this scale 20-30 million people should be done over the course of a decade at the minimum. I'm against illegal immigration but also against crashing the economy or dumping our illegal immigrants back in their home country without a plan or safety net.

> AFAIK, that the way our vision works is that our eyes only see a narrowly focused region in detail and the rest of our periphery is generated by our brain (based on what we saw there before).

I know it's a over-simplification, but maybe too much of it? 100% of your periphery isn't "generated" by your brain based only on what you've seen before, otherwise it wouldn't be possible to see stuff "at the corner of your eyes" or "looking while not looking" where you can see stuff without actually focusing straight on on the thing itself.
> His grifts may get clumsier as his cognition declines.

Does he even need to do anything? He's managed to get people to pay him to put his name on towers and perfumes and slabs of meat (Trump Steak), in this case it's most probably a similar thing with a shitcoin...

I do believe incompetence attracts incompetence (educated people with morals would rather follow to their morals rather than work for a corrupt shit-smelling wannabe-dictator), so that's why the grifters working for him might get sloppier and sloppier.

Not that it matters, H. L. Mencken's maxim seem to still be truer than ever:

Basically all college-bound 18-year olds understand what debt is — you’re infantilizing them to a ridiculous degree if you think otherwise. A lot of them choose to proceed with college due to career optimism and following the herd, not because “debt” is some magical concept that they don’t understand.
So it's okay to have some animals live in terrible circumstances in order for people to not have to put effort into being empathetic?

They might take "really good care" of the animals, feed them well, give them the best veterinary care, etc, but that's not a good life for an animal. When they have so little space to roam, so little engagement or interaction with other groups of the same species, no agency over their food or other aspect of their life, and all the while having humans gawk at them whenever they aren't hiding away. It's just a pitiful existence for the benefit of tourists. I can't buy into that.
