I'm not going to argue further on this line, I think we could see approximately where we'd end up agreeing. However, on this: > Moving even further afield you can look at characters like Cortez or Christopher Columbus. I think

Of course, it goes without saying. But at some point, I think one has to keep a certain restraint on that blame game. I think blaming the Revolution for Napoleonic wars causalities is crossing the threshold of acceptability. The Zionist mov

That's possible. Maybe that such OS "unfairly" stacks custom options against its malloc implementation. But I wouldn't be so sure to claim that such a pool, implemented in assembler on an OS that leaves everything to you

> Here’s an example. I have a program that does a lot of memory allocation and reallocation. It's likely that if memory allocation overhead is part of your bottleneck, that using malloc() is actually a bad idea. Other management str

As @ianseyler writes below, the kernel should be seen more as a hardware abstraction layer. It seems to fill this role well and minimally. I'm not sure we could definitely say that Chuck Moore would call BareMetal OS unnecessary. Maybe

You don't know beforehand what bold collective actions lead to. Abolishing slavery lead to a pretty ugly civil war in the US. Does it mean it wasn't worth it?

Then I'm genuinely confused. The meaning of that sentence, to me, was that pillaging has helped with the famine. It would have been a sentence that was consistent with your previous one, except for the "decades" rounding erro

Am I arguing? I didn't notice. I like Napoleon too and I'm intrigued that someone blames the casualties of the Napoleonic wars on the Revolution rather than, you know, Napoleon.

I must have gotten confused by "which only got better after they [...] embraced an emperor".

Is it the period between 1789 and 1804 that you are quantifying as "decades"? A bit overeasy on the rounding, no?

Unverified, sure, but how do you pre-create that kind of account if you're an unrelated person wanting to surf on that assassin wave? Plot twist: Luigi Mangione is not the actual killer but carefully crafted evidence pointing to him, a

This reminds me more of Chris Dorner. The manifesto is shorter, but this sense of injustice felt by the perpetrator is similar. Back in the days, mainstream media had enough control over the narrative to water down the "manifesto"

Working in the field is difficult, yes, but the western world still hasn't figured out an answer to the question "what happens when we run out of dead dinosaurs[1] to eat?". Until it has, any idea to not exacerbate the proble

I'm not sure, but what I've read is that there's a loss of grain associated with using the scythe on wheat when it falls on the ground. Maybe it's a concern in some areas. But I think that with a proper apparel such as t

In terms of joules spent per blade of grass cut, a well honed scythe in the hands of a skillful operator is more efficient than mechanized solutions. If you have an area where you already have an abundance of agricultural workers, it might

Of course I can, and so can you!

Yeah, to be honest I'm too out of this context to speak of deep technicalities, but a quick test seems to indicate that Dusk's comp/lisp can do something similar to your first example, unless I misunderstood it: $ make

> What's the most interesting program you've written in comp/lisp? None. I wrote comp/lisp because my lack of Lisp knowledge seemed to me like a liability as I invest more and more time in Forth. I had nothing I felt

This is too much to bear and I had to create an account for this! Might I interest you in the opposite? Sort of a Lisp implemented in Forth that can compile Lisp functions to native code, all of this in less than 500 lines of Dusk code. ht
