yes .. but elon (handwaving wooo)

agree - in my view, if you're not designing for the 'hit by a bus scenario', you're not an expert, irrespective of technical knowledge

As I like to say, populism is not a 4-letter word...

> obsessed with virtue

To point out making this claim, while also noting that what people consider 'virtue' changes, is implicitly treating relativist ethics as valid; Leaving this assumption unchallenged is a key part in enabling counter-productive 'inclusion' when it occurs; Similarly, it allows one group to define it's ideology as 'virtue' simply by being 'new' or 'modern' without needing to define 'why' it is virtue...

(to note: This is not at all the same as, and I'm absolutely not saying that 'inclusion' is implictly counter-productive)

> Meh... Where are the remote jobs?

would guess since this is AMD and low level Linux, there may be a good deal of interfacing with physical hardware, in addition to any other preferences they might have

think the point is here that things would stain / be too expensive.. jeans don't really "show" if you wipe your hands on them, and if they do, oh well, just part of that 'worn jeans' look

> It's a rather useless form of binary thinking, since it completely ignores scale and severity.

You may also be interested in: "there are 10 kinds of people - those who understand binary, and those who do not"

nice trick.. though if you are relying on the 'generator' aspect of comprehensions this may be problematic (will create in-memory copies)

> and more about high impact failures than mere bug reports.

It's often more about people problems than software problems..

Haven't seen anyone mention that "-" is not a function at all. it is a symbol. A symbol which bound to the function which does subtraction.

Users are free to redefine it outright, or to redefine it it multiple ways in different scopes of their application. (Not sure how wise this would be, but not really the point ...)

Not to be offensive, but the question as written seems to imply looking at lisp from preconcieved notions from other languages that probably don't make sense to carry over in understanding lisp.

hence the second statment:

"Preferable to 'failing' in the sense of staying in a 'failed marriage' (where the 'positive relationship' is no more positive) perhaps, but both of these are 'failures'. "

Thanks - I specifically worded this as generically as possible precisely to avoid getting into 'fairy tale' definitions, but yet, people are happy to reverse-project their own values onto a neutral statement to attack the some strawman in their heads.

sigh.

> For most of history marriage was property transfer,

Failing to see how this debunks either 'lifetime committment' or 'positive relationship' which are the only logical assertions I made - I did not attempt to qualify how to ascertain 'positive'; financial benefit can also be construed as 'positive'.

> Why not?

Because marriage is intended as an act of lifetime committent to what is seen as a positive relationship, and so failing this original intent can never be a measure of success.. Preferable to 'failing' in the sense of staying in a 'failed marriage' (where the 'positive relationship' is no more positive) perhaps, but both of these are 'failures'.

> In my anecdotal experience, big companies are far less likely to behave fraudulently than small, local companies.

I'd imagine it's kind of a bell curve, with very small companies more likely (since some of those are 'fly by night'), increasing to some point due to more oversight / legitimacy needed to run a bigger organization, until they start to become powerful enough that corrupt people can hide things or accept fraudulent actions as a 'cost of business'.

Didn't investigate methods (and wouldn't be very qualified to judge anyway), but this study might not catch the smaller fish, so it would skew towards only catching the bigger ones, leading to the conclusion

Can't find a link to any real bill / action - Article seems to make it seem like this is legislation - i'd be surprised if power to simply 'legislate' this is even consistent with the state constitution..

think you're missing the point -

the only people to survive a total nuclear war would be the elites sheltered in some bunker somewhere; the point is that decision makers were/are willing to risk destroying the species itself just so that the surviving 5 people could preserve their ideology/territory and 'win', not that nuclear war is a deterrent against local uprisings.

all the better to frame WSB and the proles as the culprit, rather than information assymetry / under-regulation of short selling (why for example, is short interest data not available at higher frequency)

this is a false dichotomy - witness the numerous parallel lisps (and schemes, etc)

this is sort of exactly my point but inverse - X windows is awesome on a lan & due to the 'native' support for individual applications, but there is definately huge room for improvement w/r/t display protocol performance / latency issues which are largely a result of relying on X server drawing architecture

don't throw the baby out with the bathwater, in other words

> haven't really figured out what to do with it

pretty much the same thing one does with any other exotic hardware- install a niche unix variant, then proceed to stare at 'top' and 'show registers' output in the debugger while fantasizing about how cool it is and fixing programs that don't build on it yet :)

> I'd love to see the result of a concerted ground-up creation of a hardware and software system that starts from scratch and leaves unresolvable legacy considerations to virtual machines or whatever.

> There is no economics textbook that accounts for market participants buying stocks to watch them crash as a form of entertainment, which is true for a non-trivial subset of people holding GME right now.

same modulo motivation holds for the irrational and allegedly illegal shorts these people are claiming to be calling out ...

> In my admittedly somewhat distanced opinion, Wayland's biggest mistakes were not launching with a coherent strategy for replicating functionality like screen sharing, screenshots, and to a lesser extent remote desktop/applications. They just punted and said "that's a compositor problem!" as though that was supposed to make it ok. People have thus harbored some inherent resentment ever since.

agree 1000% - really don't care about X per se, but remote windowing is an awesome and unique feature, and disrespecting it by treating it like some obscure/uneeded thing and qustioning why people are mad about it conveys alot about the attitude that i don't want to get behind

> Hopefully China will keep advancing science, while the West goes into another dark age due to its religions.

.. given this and the uighur thing, they certainly do seem to have a knack for atheist eugenics. Opium of the masses and the inevitable march of dialectical materialism, amirite?

> when we all know perfectly well what the normal usage of the word technology is

yes, exactly: technology goes back to the ancient Greeks, or the invention of bronze, or maybe the first chipped piece of flint.

... alternately, if you think running in docker is suitable for and solves all problems, you are a noob.

your average unix program, esp. something like postgres which has been developed for literally decades, will basically spread itself into well defined compile-time locations which are easily removed by any competent package manager or even competent manual build (touch package.stamp && make install && find $prefix -cnewer -type f package.stamp > package.file-list )

It's only 'random' if you don't know what you are doing. Containers are fine and often good, but their existence/availability doesn't 'supercede' real knowledge.

the original language was ambiguous.

e.g.:

"A synthetic form of the molecule cannabidiol, a molecule which is also known as CBD" is structurally the same but less ambiguous because of the addition of additional words..

except that uniwidth describes a different thing?
