How many without license plates?
>Frequently they need to close emergency services in major (& minor) cities at night due to staff shortages. The wait times for basic diagnostics is on the order of months (not days or weeks).
Part of this is COVID burnout. It wasn't this bad in 2019. Wife works in healthcare and sees the difference every day. Nurses crying etc.
Clasp is actually a word, and CLISP is part of GNU now so they should probably rename it something childish and cringe inducing like LURP, which is a recursive acronym for LERP: Universal REPL Programming or something.
My experience with SBCL disagrees with this. It's not as fast as, say, C++ for some use cases, but it's pretty quick.
Significantly faster than something like Python.
>A lot of totally valid opinions out there about this, but I personally _love_ how the browser is becoming a very well-featured sandbox for shipping applications.
Unfortunately what's convenient for you as a developer is more often than not hostile and awful UX for me as a user.
Too often, developer convenience trumps good UX.
As far as I can tell the host (Joe's Data center) has a clean ASN.
I'm open to recommendations for clean IPs/providers.
A few months ago I wrote a comment on HN about algorithmic trading and someone emailed me about it. I sent him a reply from my self-hosted email domain, and I have no idea if he got it. I'm on a clean IP and clean domain, with a reputable hoster. I have SPF, DKIM, and DMARC set up correctly. Just last week I sent my gmail account a test email and sure enough it went to spam. There appears to be no rhyme or reason about it.
I believe the difference between people who say "email self-hosting is dead" and people who say "email self-hosting is trivial" is probably the volume of mail sent from their domain(s).
At my busiest, I was sending dozens of emails per day, but they were all from my work account. My personal account is pretty close to recv-only and probably averages an outgoing message count in the single digits per week. How can I reasonably keep an IP/domain reputation score fresh/warm if I send such a low volume? The answer is I realistically can't.
Self-hosted email remains an extremely difficult and time-consuming endeavor unless you happen to have some good luck, it seems.
>This is always how it's worked, and it's nearly impossible to join any instance without following & interacting with people from other instances on a daily basis. It's like the one thing about Mastodon you can't escape knowing about even if you actively try.
I don't use Mastodon, so perhaps that's why. It always seemed like a Twitter clone except with fewer people and, importantly for this particular discussion, where you can't interact with anyone.
Guess I was mistaken, but that's why I never bothered to learn anything further about it.
>The author seems under to be under the wrong impression that Mastodon servers are isolated communities (and therefore compares them to subreddits). This is incorrect. Mastodon is a platform where a server of your choosing hosts your account, like an e-mail provider hosting your inbox. From that account, you follow any other account on the network, regardless of which server hosts that account. Everyone you follow appears in your home feed, and everyone who follows you receives your posts in their home feed.
I've been aware of Mastodon pretty much since its inception and I had no idea that this was the case. The messaging really needs improved.
Why would they be embarrassed? It's a PR piece, not meant to be actually secure against cryptanalysis.
And thus the failure of BSD-style licensing is thrown into sharp relief:
Why are these projects that are used by many large and extraordinarily profitable tech enterprises dependent on community donations?
I recommend not donating, because to do so directly supports corporate parasitism.
It lets you run comparatively higher manifold pressures than an otherwise identical but unleaded fuel.
>where for all
Wherewithal?
Think of the marketing for Nvidia: "The GPU so powerful we're not allowed to export it. "
Good luck catching me on their intentionally-hard-to-push chair.
Think of the profits from thiw move fast and break things approach! Always be hustling.
Microsoft is so incredibly bad at naming things it'd be hilarious if it wasn't so frustrating.
I used to feel the same way but lisp gets easier to read with practice, and unless you're writing code in notepad.exe or nano or something, your editor will show you the matching paren.
Nintendo doesn't sell SNES carts any more. Who is the victim?
It might be technically piracy, but who's really losing out on lost sales if I buy this and play SNES on it?
I think it's just a plain old web forum with a standard News/Announcement section.
In the before times (when WordPress was new and shiny, or even earlier) this was a run-of-the-mill setup and every community had a locked Announcement section where only moderators/admins could post.
For me it was flirting with girls on ICQ, and getting owned at StarCraft 1 before voip was a thing.
Nothing teaches typing better, in my experience.
I mean all you really need is DNS. If the root servers come back up I don't see why the rest couldn't.
I think it's equally dangerous to write off extremism as the product of stupid people.
Hitler certainly wasn't a dunce, for example.
Is randomly deleting stuff from /usr a big part of your use case?
>The BSDs are much cleaner than Linux distros.
I see this opinion a lot, but what tangible benefits does that result in?
>He was also a DARPA PM, which definitely requires management/executive skills.
Meh. I've worked in government and disagree with this assessment.
Lots of people are rushing to defend Mudge, and maybe it's warranted, but being an alumnus of cDc and l0pht doesn't make one a competent executive.
It is possible for someone to be a great hacker but a mediocre manager.
Twitter's taken a lot of body blows recently and Parag is obviously trying to motivate his people. He's not necessarily lying even if it's a rather unprofessional way to speak I'll of someone who's been fired.
