I've sorta reached the conclusion that nuclear energy is the safest form of energy if everyone is well behaved and disciplined about it. On the other hand, given the wrong incentives, you might just stow nuclear waste where it's c

Yeah that’s super tricky... how does LispWorks deal with such things?

Python is also really really popular these days. Maybe they haven't so much won but they've definitely become extremely significant, and they haven't lost.

I have the impression that lispworks gets the gc to do the tree shaker's work http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw50/DV/html/deluser-...

Yeah I’ve gotta say that the fact that a new hot startup is embracing lisp is really cool. Kudos to stylewarning.

I may not have made myself clear. I don’t want someone else to write a tree shaker for me, I want an intro project to understanding the internals of a performant Common Lisp compiler, and I want to do the work to write a tree shaker myself.

> Tree shakers are not written because they ‘are cool’ Yeah this is all very serious business. Also, one of the most curmudgeonly responses you could have given. > #sbcl is not THE Common Lisp community This is not my sample size of o

I hadn’t seen it that way, but that completely makes sense.

Yeah the racket community is super sweet. What can I say though, I like the Common Lisp experience. Slime/sly are appealing, as is the totally cross sectional view from high level code to machine code. There’s a lot to like. I should g

More lines of prose praising lisp are being written than lines of lisp these days it seems. I recently asked how to write a tree shaker in #sbcl because I thought it’d be cool. All I got was a “why would you do that?” and “ok fine your time

Eh I mean, I think there's a certain discipline that comes with studying any branch of math to a certain degree of rigor. But yes, linear algebra and discrete math are probably the most useful. I think control theory and optimization a

Get good at math. It'll serve you well and never go out of style.

I had a dream to move back to the Bay Area and put a mill and lathe and surface grinder and all the other good stuff in a garage for tinkering after my PhD, but it seems any job that would pay enough for me to afford such things would proba

Neat! How portable is the VM?

I'm heartbroken that Halted closed. Is tinkering with physical stuff in the bay area dead? Or well, scaled back significantly in comparison to a decade ago.

Holy hell, this makes me want to never work for google.

Hell yeah, dude. This is awesome.

Why would tech workers go the way of medical professionals and structural engineers and all these instead of going the way of financial engineers?

I think it was a wonderful thing until people figured out how to efficiently exploit people with it. It just turns out to be incredibly good for exploiting people, and I think this bell can’t be unrung.

Is there a good STM32 USB library for Rust? I've seen some preliminary work on some stuff in the past but I'm not sure where it's at. If it's not particularly developed, has anyone had success calling into the ST provide

There’s efforts to rebuild circuit QED such that temperatures this low aren’t needed. I wouldn’t worry too much about this.

Isn't it amazing how you can tell a Burt Rutan design just by looking at it?

"doing much better" in what sense? Who wants to live as a slave? Shouldn't the goal a country be maximal quality of life?

How about that it's just as simple as burnout being a problem of employers asking too much from their employees?

This is essentially my problem. Every reality TV show is the same. Every esoteric subcommunity has the exact same pattern of drama, competition, cliques. Take it from someone that did everything from competitive yo-yo to ham radio. I just d

“On September 5, 2011, The Science Channel premiered Flying Anvils, a reality television series about anvil firing.[6]” They really seem to be scraping the bottom of the barrel.

MRI may work... I think there's a skeletal MRI. That will be extremely expensive. CT scan probably would work, but I don't think they'll let you dose yourself with that many X-Rays for fun. Most of these scanners give you vox
