And yet he left office on the appointed day and lost an election. > democracies fail Is this the democracy where we need to stop voters from voting or give them incomplete information to avoid making bad choices?

Is she forgetting that impeachment exists? Why is sottomayor the only justice drawing this conclusion?

Impeach.

Now do 1000. That’s kind of the whole point. Quadratic works fine until it sneaks up on you.

It’s not a human, and we shouldn’t assume it will have traits we do without evidence. Iteration also is when your brain meets the external world and corrects. This is a closed system.

Security people on high alert for every possible scenario with no sense of relative risk or attack surface wonder why their concerns aren’t taken seriously.

Running an industrial farm that makes money efficiently is different than living on a plot of land with chickens and cows, giving you a cheap lifestyle.

Similar themes. SICP is a little more academic. You build a compiler, do more math, etc. PAIP also focuses more on Common Lisp specifics.

Ive also seen cases where business people truly don’t believe there is an underlying reality to a problem. They evaluate approaches and people purely from a sociability stand point. You make a good point about government, there are so many

People always ignore the simpler explanation: it’s more time and work to make something a second time on a platform you don’t know and control.

The question would be how much data are you sending on how frequently. You're still advertising performance. Even so, go ahead and setup shared memory between your processes. Better to explicitly share part, rather than implicitly shar

"manage threading" What does that mean? Do you mean optimize a piece of code to take advantage of multiple cores? Or do you mean describe multiple independent threads of execution. The latter works best when it has it's own m

not supporting multi-threading is not a design flaw, it's a conscious design choice. Multi-threading is hugely overrated as the UNIX kernel already distributes workload across processes and processors. It's a performance hack.

Although thats how llvm is serving the C family if you look around you will find a lot of projects and startups where that motivation is not well founded. Common Lisp also lets you easily compile your language to assembly. To get that addit

It’s more true than ever that large projects resemble compilers. The existing llvm Frankensteins and code generators are evidence that people don’t know how easy this kind of thing is in lisp. As a concrete example look at auto diff. The ot
