I'd go even further and say most western countries, because I think the US and EU are headed in a similar direction. My guess is that they see trouble ahead and want to get a firmer grip on power, so they're trying to get the kid

Yep, at the time we were jokingly speculating if the next generation would be called Hexium. =)

I would expect diffusion to be a problem. Those hydrogen molecules are small and tend to find their way through the tightest spots.

Don't know. It's true that an all-out battle is too risky a proposition. But Chimps e.g. are known to patrol the border areas of their territory in order to catch and kill stray members of neighbouring troupes. You can call that a

It might also be interesting to calculate the win probabilities for the players when the trap is avoided, so you can judge what you pay for setting the trap.

If you use your laptop near a power outlet a lot you might want to require it to have smart charging capability.

Sure. In 1984, 37 years ago, a whopping 8.2% of US households sported a computer. So yeah, ubiquitous indeed. Younger people tend to be more open to new things and less set in their ways, which certainly makes a difference in this case. Not

Nobody tries to deny that old people can be top notch computer scientists. It's just a fact that computer technology has only arrived in the daily life of the greater population a few decades ago and therefore older people are statisti

I don't think I can blame a politician for being technically illiterate, especially one that old. But what the heck is up with the state bureaucrats who report to that guy? I mean someone it the freaking state bureaucratic hierarchy

No, I think the idea is to have two separate groups. Each group member can make a suggestion for the group's next reply. Only the best-voted suggestion is sent on to the other group.

I think the idea is to seed mistrust in the data because there is no way to distinguish between the genuine and the fake data you put on your account. So the fake data makes the genuine practically useless.

Yeah, in these circles "for fun and profit" rivals the "considered harmful" of the larger community.

The trouble I have with this "definition" is that none of these points seem to me to have a clear relation with the term "hermit". It reads more like a list of arbitrary suppositions. I could go and write a long rant abo

Well I never wrote "just a few", but I did write "mostly". Also, disclosure: I'm intimately familiar with the ECU software of a major player in the industry, though primarily the part that governs the air system. It

Yeah, but I think those enthusiasts are mostly just fixing up calibration values, not changing the actual control software.

Does Russell's original Lisp count as a Lisp-1? I guess it probably had a common namespace for functions and values.
654.
by _0ffh 5y ago
So it did. But not without controversy. And consequently, there's still defvar. Emacs Lisp is binding dynamically by default to this day, iirc.
655.
by _0ffh 5y ago
I feel that static/lexical binding is more of a Scheme thing, though. The Lisp community used to be kind of on the fence on that for a while, even though it ultimately chose to go the same way. Edit: And to be frank, while dynamic bind

In an evil afterthought: If people still keep inviting to many others to meetings, make the filing of the justifications only possible using a special intranet page, and make your least capable intern code that page. That should sort it out

by _0ffh 5y ago
A more flexible rule that also might help a little would be to require a separate justification for the use of time to be filed for every single invitee. It's just like of the signup process on your landing page. Make things you want t

When I hear "nitrocellulose" I quickly get doubts if I'd want to coat my instrument in it. (If it's common I presume it must be safe, more or less, but it sure doesn't inspire much confidence in me.)
