Is there something inherent to Lisp that allows it to be implemented in so little code? I believe I saw someone demonstrate that almost nothing in a Lisp implementation was written as a "built-in" language feature that required th

It's actually an incredibly interesting but hostile community, though I'm sure they think otherwise. You either fit into that community, or you're going to be meet with an anger I have yet to see in many other places. They co

No, I agree that most people aren't critical (critical enough) of Wikipedia. My point is that many of them know that they should be.

I should probably bug report this, but I don't even know where to start. For as long as I can remember "find" has been semi-broken. Hit Ctrl+f to search for a word you know for sure is on a page and Firefox might not find it.

We're at such a strange point where even school children knows that something like Wikipedia isn't necessarily factually correct and that you need to double check. They then go and ask ChatGPT, as if it wasn't trained on Wiki

Learned that the hard way, never ever add ANYTHING to the Microsoft Authenticator app if you can avoid it. It is impossible to migrate to something else. I had a client where I got a new phone and forgot about the Microsoft Authenticator. T

It's also interesting that the cloud engineer can apparently be both a DBA, network-, storage- and backup engineer, but if you move the same services on-prem, you apparently need specialists for each task. Sometimes even the certified

That makes some sense. I've only used Bitnami images with Docker compose or as standalone containers. In those case you're frequently better of just mounting in a configuration file, but that won't really work in Kubernetes.

Because the banks are liable to fraud in Denmark, probably also other countries, they already had really strict rules for online payments. Denmark also has it's own national payment card "Dankort", and before 2006, you needed

Updating the Bitnami images is probably a bit of a challenge. From looking at them last year, I believe that they are build around a Bitnami style/framework. They are confusing at best. If you're Bitnami it probably made sense to

I can't speak to how other European countries did only payments, but you never gave your credit card number to the merchant in Denmark. It was always done via a 3rd. party payment provider, initially mostly DIBS, then came WorldPay and

They never really had much of a reason to create a competitor. There where already plenty of alternatives once online shopping/payments became a thing. Here you could do "cash on delivery", credit/debit card, account tra

I really want to store things locally though, and then just stick with cloud as backup. The problem is I also don't want to manage anything complex.

I previously helped clients setup and run Kafka clusters. Why they'd need Kafka was always our first question, never got a good answer from a single one of them. That's not to say that Kafka isn't useful, it is, in the right

While I'd generally say that the F-35 is probably the best (one of the best) option for countries like my own (Denmark), who need/want a plane that can do a bit of everything, we also need to see what's happening in Ukraine.

That's just not what's happening, at least for some of the countries. Spain is rejecting the F-35 for the EuroFigther (which is the plane they already operate) and Tempest (which doesn't exists yet). So in that case it's

Also visas expire, so why not simply implement better checks for new visas. Most of the 55M visas are probably fine, so you have to spend an exorbitant amount of resource on finding very few issues. It's much cheaper to add additional

That might be it, but I wondered about that one, as well as the append complaint. It seems like the author disagree with scoping rules, but they aren't really any different than a lot of other languages. If someone really doesn't

Part of the issue with all this AI hype is that I can't tell if you're joking or not. Most of those suggestions are horrible, 4 and 5 makes sense.
