The article outlines some reporting changes (from OMB to White House chief of staff??) to get around that apparently

Why is it that Lisp family macros are easy to implement and use, but not so in other languages?

I don't think billionaires should even be a thing.

They took my porn in Texas an now this wtf

Unfortunately, I spent more than a trivial amount of time wondering what an Einstein of Adtech looks like.

You're not getting fired now, you're getting "moved out" or "exited"

You’ll be fine. It’s like laundering money.

Does not even seem to be a valid PDF according to Preview.app

I would like to use Kagi if it had some kind of anonymous searching

I think I will take another look. I recently helped my grandson with his university C++ assignment. It was a lot better than I remember C++ in the 90s.

Fun wise though, I get the most fun with dynamic languages that are highly interactive like Forth, Common Lisp and Smalltalk. I don’t have to drop out of the zone to kick the compiler all the time.

Well now I know what I’m sinking time into this Christmas break!

You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

Deterministic evaluation - Executing the same code twice will give the same results.

What’s this all about? Don’t most languages?

Is it possible for my/my employer’s insurer to convince my employer to fire me if my or my dependent’s health needs are “too expensive”?

Could they eg. Give my employer a lower rate as an incentive to do that?

I would add Bash Forth to that. String-threaded concatenative programming!

I've been through the rabies protocol after a bite from random homeless dog I tried to help.

In the US with insurance it's about $5K out of pocket, and 3 or 4 (can't remember exactly) visits to the ER. the first visit they inject some gelatinous stuff all over the site of the bite site plus the vaccine. And no, they don't inject in your abdominal area anymore. The case will be referred to the city and if possible, the animal will be tested for it. I'm not sure if they have to kill the animal to test. They'll let you know if it was positive though.

It's extremely rare to get rabies, but also it's extremely lethal.

I have quit places because of their PR process.

And classical music gets proper special treatment!

People have been begging for that for ages on Spotify’s forum…

I would like to know what folks are doing that requires a high performance terminal.

I don't think I'm much more productive at Terminal.app in 2024 than I was in 386 Linux console-connected to other computer via 14400 dial-up in 1999.

It’s the trolley problem https://neal.fun/absurd-trolley-problems/

I think we'll blow through these limits. Humanity has never ceased to disappoint me.

Are you wondering if epidemiologists are doing climate science?

Pffft, I’d just #. that factorial call and it’d be a normal defun.

We tried this and it was an absolute shit show for us.

There’s probably a group of poor bastards on call at 5am, poring over alerts, and logs in Datadog etc wondering WTF is wrong with their applications.

Give ‘em a shout out by saying “hi” in a request parameter or something while you’re reverse engineering.

What do you mean by a flat stack? LAMP etc?

I’m surprised Windows isn’t given away for free at this point.

34000 lines of code/min on an 8088 fast?

As an implementation, it's the slowest compiled language there

Are you talking about the Free Pascal implementation here?

Must I wait for it to “type out” my search results?
