> The problem is that bass music travels through everything.

It’s not just bass tones—low-frequency vibrations travel through everything. I live in a five-story pre-WWII building, and sometimes, when a neighbor runs their washing machine early on a Saturday morning, I don’t even hear the spin cycle. I just feel it, lying in bed trying to squeeze in a little more sleep. It’s an odd sensation, not painful, but definitely not pleasant.

There's nothing wrong with your reading. It's a misleading, clickbaity name at best.

The TheJeffDeanFacts repo contains no issues. (TRUE)

Side note: as of now, I have 14 various "travel" apps installed on my phone. Buses, trains, local buses, etc. In every EU country and city there's something else being used.

Reserved seat in a missing cart is boring - 95% of the time you'll find an empty seat. Much more fun is a reserved bicycle rack in a cart that's missing. The number of bicycle racks is limited, and they're quite often sold out.

I think the Russians probably realized, "We don't even need to fund them - they will glue themselves to the roads for free."

Good point. What a great society it must be, where school shooting has become normality - a part of everyday experience.

"problems is [..] with Germans requiring to use their hard language [..] nobody bothers to learn German anymore, (some small percent still learn, ok) everyone who I know rather works in different country because of this"

I assure you, as a matter of fact, (A) the size of your social circle is very limited, and (B) such an attitude as yours could safely be labeled as cultural ignorance bordering on cultural arrogance.

Yes, "windshadow" one is more descriptive than "slipstream". (At least for me.)

I wonder how he managed to reconquer his castle. By, uh... besieging it, maybe? Probably? Now repeat that eight times - and honestly, I’m struggling to see where and how exactly he tried to save his subjects.

Sorry, but losing your castle nine times isn’t what capable military leaders do.

Have a look at "Code is Data / Data is Code" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homoiconicity And then see how it's done in real life: https://guix.gnu.org/

What about "If things don't go my way, I don't mind starting civil war?"

Apparently that's the case.

We need to understand that such people want to be distracted and entertained.

Give them the show they want, promise them something and they happily make you their king.

They don't ask you to fulfill the promises. They just want to hear them.

That's it.

> that flipped upside down my accepted method of thinking about types and type system paradigms.

Could you please write where in the video is Rich talking about it?

That idea `function can return multiple values` was a bit of `Wait what? Ah I almost forgot :facepalm:` moment for me. (The quadratic formula function for solving quadratic equations `ax^2 + bx + c = 0` returns TWO values.)

Honestly, "norms of warfare" is just a rather ridiculous concept imposed by the winning side.

The international court of justice is irrelevant if you don't have nukes or guns to support your cause.

This story is not about viruses and vaccines, but what about the 1949 Nobel Price for lobotomy? https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medicine/1949/moniz/articl...

"Sure. We're smart, we're scientists, we know what we're doing... except when we don't."

> Anything that can put a dent in that is going to far outweigh any potential risks and side effects.

Ha! Explain that to the anti-vaxxers.

> Because at the end, it's all just graphs with vertices and edges.

That's not the end. At the end there are just objects and morphisms between them. Graphs (with their edges and vertices) are just a special category of... Well, have a look at "Category Theory".

I'm sorry, that doesn't work:

  $ echo "foo" > access.log     # create the access.log with some content
  $ < access.log | cat | head -n 5
  # no output

This works:

  $ cat access.log | head -n 5
  foo
  $ < access.log cat | head -n 5
  foo
  $ < access.log cat | cat | head -n 5
  foo
  $ < access.log head -n 5
  foo

Thanks for the snippet. Now I have a recipe how to calculate the size of a binary file, plus the shared objects, i.e. the so-file(s), it requires directly.

Now I just need to extend your snippet so that it works recursively. A shared object can require other shared objects.

What I see is the tens of thousands of people in troll factories producing content for 3/4 of the world population ready to believe whatever they see in the TV.

> So what we are missing now is a 500GB framework that can write the config file for the programming language that is writing a config file for the actual program I wish to use.

That exists since 1960. It's called LISP. The e.g. https://guix.gnu.org/ uses with great success, the Guile Scheme dialect of LISP, to be precise. And FYI the "framework" is:

  $ ls --human-readable --size $(readlink $(which guile))
  16K /gnu/store/1gd9nsy4cps8fnrd1avkc9l01l7ywiai-guile-3.0.9/bin/guile

Yes, only sixteen kilos, not gigas.

Your snippet is not working.

  #lang racket

  (define (division x y)
    (let/cc return
      (when (= y 0) (return null))
      (/ x y)))

> If it got the notion

To me, it seems like precisely this part got lost in translation
