Oh, we know the reason. It is because UI looked ugly and the latency was high.

And yet, the percentage of Java programmers using clojure is less than 1%. Looked at another way, how many applications need the fast startup time, and why can’t they be run in a daemon?

by abc_lisper 3y ago
That's easy. Its 0.00001%

Yeah, was talking about pumping water up an existing installation. Looks like it is already used - 94% of all stored energy in US now comes from hydro, according to your link 2. ATM, it is cheaper too

by abc_lisper 3y ago
Can't we just run an existing dam in reverse to store energy?

I can tell you what limited my confidence as a programmer. It was correctness, or knowing how to deal with stuff so I don't have to check every line of code once I implemented something new that uses the old stuff in a novel way. For s

Can't tell your post is sarcastic or not. Good reads is a valuable resource, especially for avid readers - without it I wouldn't have read as many good books as I did.

Can this not be reversed. Force amazon to spin it out?

Lol. Not even. What about Musk. He is not born in US

If your commute is less than 100 miles, you have nothing to worry, if you get a proper charger at home. Owned Tesla for 3.5 years with 60 mile commute, it has been very nice.

>> My impression was, that the younger generation seemed to more conservative regarding arranged marriages then their parents. Don't think this is true. Arranged marriages have gone down since I was a kid in India, though it is s

by abc_lisper 3y ago
Yeah. Majority of marriages even today are arranged by the family and it becomes impersonal and somewhat crassly practical. Choices are sorted by their family's net worth, social standing, color(darker complexion is looked down), age a

It was like that in India too. Some social critics and authors back in late 19th and early 20th century changed that practice. Dowry started as a pocket-money for the girl, when she leaves her parent's house to go with her husband, bec

The impact of this has been felt for more than a decade now. Many of my friends had trouble finding brides, despite being nothing wrong with them - as a result, some of my friends were never married and are in their 40s now. It is absolutel

Yeah, In Apple's vision, FB/Social is still just an app. For FB, social is the world. Like a matrix transposed. Still Apple can do all FB wants to do.

This is like C++ to C - so python++, ++ is for features and native compilation

I think you may be in denial. Douglas Hosftadter thought very deeply about it, wrote a book(GEB) which won a pulitzer 40 years ago, about the "magic" in the brain. He has been worried about developments in AI for 5 years now.

It emphatically does. It has pull-syntax just for the nested entities obviating the need for ORM. I am surprised I had to scroll so far down to see this. This is its biggest selling point IMO.

Lol. That's all true. By caring about the planet, we care about ourselves. Planet can survive like another forsaken rock in space - nobody is arguing with that.

Buddhist philosophy is practical and seems some what out of sync with the Hindu thought at that time. Buddha lived around the same time as Socrates. I can't help but wonder if some of the ideas were not cross-pollinated. Don't get

I would give this 10 points if I could! But that’s level 2 driving. It is not nothing.

This is like everything else in life - people, education, work places etc.. Having said that, books with rating > 4.7 (of 5) on amazon are generally v.good.

Ok. Compilation + automated tests then.

Why does this tool exist in an interactive form? Just do the thing and compile the code, and if that works check it in.

by abc_lisper 4y ago
But others do. There are managers who think exactly this - people are replaceable cogs - meaning you can treat them like that too - as tools that are like store bought TLDR: See Boeing

Thank you for this. I just removed my main bank account with them.

Yep. Im the OP and this is what I meant by woke cancellation. I didn't use it as trigger.

by abc_lisper 4y ago
Ostracism is a well known punishment in the western world. Greeks used to practice it. So are the recent woke cancellation standards. It is not unique to India.

You both could be right. It might depend on the area the car is driven. I guess you are not in the Bay Area?
