I don't believe that most people's dislike of churches stem from the architecture.

I envisioned one of those cartoon fight clouds with the occasional fist or foot sticking out of it on the deck of a ship.

The cloud being moving away from the "you must work to eat" economy and into the "you can work if you want nice stuff" economy. Getting there won't be fun but a lot of us would like that for our grandchildren.

He's a guy that knows a lot of math and how to turn that math into code. I don't know if he'd be able to come up with some brand new paradigm for AI but I'd want him on my team and I'd listen to what he has to say.

Mostly he seems to try to nail all the items on the "how to grow your YouTube channel" checklists. Clickbait sensationalist titles, exaggerated face on the thumbnail, etc. I have a rule that I don't click on any video where I

Back when I wanted new packages, I ran Debian unstable. Occasionally I'd find myself having to manually fix dependencies, but for the most part it worked great for me. I don't bother now, since it's rare that I want something

I personally consider it invented. The universe is what it is. Math is a model we've collectively built that tries to work within the underlying rules of how logic works in the universe. Like all models, any disagreement with observati

It's probably different if you're at a company that actually does what they should and keeps up with all the service contracts and whatnot. I wouldn't know because I always end up at the other type of company. But I will ne

I totally agree. My work is a major part of my life. I do my job well and that's important to me. But I don't care about any particular company. I'm just as happy automating refineries as I am factories or chemical plants. I

Not OP, but for me the biggest advantage of wired is that it's easier to find my mouse in my laptop bag or when my desk gets messy. I dunno how many times I've had to trace the wire to find my mouse buried in a stack of engineerin

Reminds me of an old meme: My wife asked me why I carry a pistol everywhere. I told her, "Decepticons!" I laughed, she laughed, the toaster laughed, I shot the toaster, it was a good time.

The lawyers don't even have to do anything. I avoid any code that's not MIT or equivalent for work-related things because I don't want to run the risk of polluting company code. The only exception is elisp, because that only

No, on the couple occasions it's happened I just told the boss immediately that I quit, I gathered up my stuff, and left. In both occasions it was witnessed by coworkers so they knew what happened.

It might be a myth, but it's certainly not an Internet myth. I first read about it in a Rand MacNally atlas in the 80s.

Someone yelling at me costs themselves however long it takes to hire my replacement. I did my time working for overgrown children, I won't put up with that kind of nonsense anymore.

People don't need to drink. They do need to get to work, pick up the kids from school, buy groceries, etc.

Any US jurisdiction that bans right on red is going to see a lot of violations - mostly from people who are unaware of the law or people who know the law but accidentally do it out of habit. If DC wanted to stop people from turning right on

Look up "SXML" for an example of what that might look like. There's many other ways to do it, though.

Which is where the parental guidance comes in. My dad gave me my first porn magazine. It was a good thing, too, since by the time I could legally buy a picture of naked ladies I'd already spent a good deal of time in their company.

Do you do REPL customization and Readline wrapping like in the article, or are you satisfied with the basic REPL capabilities? I think I'll give your workflow a try. I might learn something interesting from it. Worst case, I'll ga

I can't think of any English speaking countries in central Europe off the top of my head. "America" is short for "The United States of America" in English. That's its definition. I don't understand how peo

I'm speaking as someone who has done a bit of research into this topic. I'm not aware of a single example of an English-speaking country that teaches that there's a continent named "America." It's taught as two

Sure, but do you use the native REPL for those things or do you go through SLIME or equivalent? That's what I'm curious about.

The hardest part of learning to drive on the left is not turning on your windshield wipers every time you turn a corner. Really though, the actual driving part is pretty easy to pick up. You get accustommed to it quickly. You're more l

This is the answer. Emacs isn't an editor. It has an editor. And a bunch of other stuff. The core is written in C, but that's mostly a Lisp runtime and a display system. Everything else is written in elisp. If the runtime doesn&#x
