Common Lisp doesn't use (expensive) CLOS dispatch in the core language, e.g. to add two numbers or find the right equality operator. That's one known pain point due to CLOS having been "bolted-on" rather than part of the

Two wrongs don't make a right. Sure, the US decision was certainly ideologically motivated (which isn't to say right or wrong) and one could notice that, but that rabid reaction to an absolute nothing is ridiculous and the argumen

I believe you're right regarding AMD's lack of UHBR20 on its cards. Fingers crossed for their next gen!

The loss I wrote about is society-wide, not for individuals. Weak-willed people won't change, the problem is the damage to people who have willpower but are basically told it doesn't matter. It's really a matter of incentives

Willpower to not eat really isn't the same as willpower to eat reasonably (in quantity and quality), though. There's even exercise to offset the effects of suboptimal alimentation.

Preface: I'm going to sound quite harsh by changing scales, so put your tough skin on before continuing. This is certainly worse for the individual, but at society scale, the cost being the obvious devaluation of willpower is way too h

Absolute aesthetic relativism is the complete opposite of "thinking about", it's giving up to the cult of modernity, an intellectual shortcut to avoid the complicated and controversial question of "I instinctively know t

There's some music that simply can't be enjoyed as intended without a proper system. Like early Swans, for example.

The total opposite, large movements like punks or hippies weren't really deviance, it was choosing another large group to belong to. It's conveniently cellophane-wrapped rebellion for people who need an identity but can't bea

It could also be a more charitable " I make significant efforts to fight against this and spent years/months of my life trying to convince others to do the same only to be ignored, so fuck them". Like that RMS meme where the

I understand what you're saying, but I'm still showing my disapproval via my wallet and not giving money to people who do a much worse (and/or unsuitable for fans instead of the general public) job than fans. The amount of la

Personally, I won't pay to stream anime, but if Blu-Rays had subs as good as what dedicated fansubs can output (incl. a possibly optional more literal translation with honorifics) AND SSA subtitles somewhere on them to be used by compu

There's a direct equivalent in the world of anime: frame-per-frame restoration like the GITS Blu-Ray ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40316985 ) or the '99 HxH anime and LaserDisc scans.

What do you mean? "Old" (up to Sandy Bridge) Thinkpads had no issue with that, it just meant no keyboard backlighting (which is why the ThinkLight exists). See the drainage holes at the bottom: https://www.notebookcheck

Can it be used without a smartphone aka "portable telescreen"? Do they explicitly guarantee this'll remain the case? If not, you're just being hoodwinked via cheap convenience.

Yeah, a simple SPECint or builtin Python benchmarks would be way more interesting that a proprietary "benchmark" with mystery tasks.

Then convert it to Opus. I have a similar ~440 GB in FLAC and would never opt for such a complex solution when one of the major benefits of FLAC is that you can do proper encoding yourself.

Middle class millennial French here: there's a very real concept of guilt in relation to food at least (somewhat less for electricity and water, but still). It's considered a normal habit to always finish what's on your plate

"Cruelty" is a rhetoric word because its meaning is caught between the classical "deliberate causing of pain" and the new "neglect, indifference towards another's pain" and of course, that discrepancy is f

Better/less worse AND more accessible languages killed Perl. And I say that as someone who knows POSIX sh/awk/sed pretty well; which means using them in constant disgust of the ubiquitous UNIX braindamage. It's not witho

No, it's not "can help", it's "forced to help under the threat of prison". Taxes aren't charity.
