My solution was just to not use reddit interactively anymore. I used the site for about 10 years before I got tired of wasting afternoons browsing or arguing past other users. Stuff I want to discuss usually gets linked in a discord channel and I talk about it with my friends.

When I browse now I just skim a few subreddits I like and refrain from interacting.

I was a moderator on /r/blackpeopletwitter and the amount of racist and outright vitriol we received was fucking insane. There are people out there who really have it out for BPT and we banned dozens of users daily who were legit there to only drop the n word with a hard r and make jokes about monkeys or something.

I deleted my reddit account in a panic after someone sent me a DM saying they knew where I lived and I saw a guy wondering around my apartment complex with his phone out like he was recording. I never want to be highly visible on reddit again.

I think what makes it a disorder is its severity makes it difficult for an individual to manage it properly without treatment or intervention.

Everything you've suggested are things that most people who are aware that they have the disorder try or do already in order to manage it, I would be surprised if a lot of people found out they had ADHD and used their diagnosis as "an excuse for mediocrity or failure!"

If I were being uncharitable I'd say you were just using this comment as a way to dole out unasked for advice to either make yourself feel better or put down some straw-man you've made up. But since I'm not, I'll just leave it at you ain't said nothing slick to a can of oil.

You know a lot of poor South African white people who immigrate to America?

They've followed this philosophy since at lea st the first Gameboy though. How do FLOPS essentially flatlining since 2006 account for that?

> humans don't consume software

what even is gaming

I skimmed the article so tell me if I'm missing something here but in my experience computer science isn't the major of choice to become a "programmer" anymore.

Having gone through the hiring process at three different companies focused on both desktop and web based software, computer science majors were an extreme minority. Most people had a business degree with a programming component attached like Management & Information Systems.

Maybe it its worth looking into how many would be CS majors choose to do the less math intensive but more industry relevant business school option.

They are running a linux VM with a real linux kernel is WSL2.

Ignoring consumer products for a moment: we've done this at my company for an internal app.

Our legacy system was built as a desktop app for internal uses that became difficult to both scale and comply with our regulatory obligations, so we began buildin out an api around its core business functionality and built various front ends to speak with it throughout our company.

It has been a middling success, mostly because change requires political capital that might not be there six months to after initiating it. However I think overall we've improved the product and I don't think a massive rewrite would've gone nearly as far due to political winds shifting and the rewrite getting deemed a waste of time by the new new powers that be.

Social security and Medicare are both social safety nets that one cannot take advantage of while they're working in most cases, and everything else you've mentioned either requires a person to be in extreme poverty or severely disabled.

Meanwhile a healthy, young, gainfully employed person in France can take advantage of a wealth of social services and benefits.

Mentioning them the way you have requires a very uncharitable interpretation of the previous posters point.

You are mistaken. Granted their deployment tools are still in an early stage, but like everything else in the guix ecosystem it looks promising

Here's a tutorial for guix server deployments https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2019/managing-servers-with-gnu-gui...

Here's the docs on guix deploy. https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Invoking-guix...

> The developer even went the extra mile to copy-paste the token generation method into their code.

I had to make an authorization service and the idea to use a single authorizer to handle token generation and authorization was shot down by management due to worry about "lambda startup times". I complained that the startup time is less than a second (for nodejs) and honestly would not be an issue. They gave the task to someone else to have the token generated in their service. The developer did it by copying the code I'd written into their own service verbatim.

This is why I don't like microservices as we do them. Management would rather we wrote small programs with a lot of duplicated functionality in many repos instead of writing a large program where we can enforce some discipline. This is also better for them because they meet with us individually to ask for functionality rather than have design or architecture meetings where we can push back on implementation details.

Hopefully twenty-five. This is my endgame.

Yeah, but further down in the article it mentioned that students illegally parked junkyard cards to get booted so that all the boots would be in use when the cops found someone's actual vehicle they wouldn't have any boots left.

I know it can be frustrating to present work and criticism veers off to focus on other things, but thank you for being receptive. Its much better now :-)

I wouldn't say I'm dyslexic, but I do struggle with typeface that uses a lot of "o" in them, I'm not quite sure what the word is for it.

Unironically the most readable typeface I've ever used that comes standard on all computers is Comic Sans or a variant of it.

I think it makes sense that they didn't take powerline into account because I'm assuming this font will become the default for jetbrains editors. Their solution to your wanting to use this font in vim is probably "use vim in our editor instead..."

What is that typeface? Every vowel looks like an "o" that was cut up to look like another vowel, its absolutely hard to read. It's also ironic that there's (allegedly) a focus on readability for the language but absolutely none of that concern found its way to the website.

I do like the piping syntax.

I always thought "playstation" was a clever bit of marketing on the part of Sony, who from the outset saw the console as something that everyone should play, not just the kids. At work you go to your workstation, whether that's a cashier's register, computer, or factory spot, but when you come home you go to your playstation, and have some fun.

Admittedly in 2020 the "workstation" moniker doesn't really apply to many white collar jobs, but it is sort of perfect if someone thinks about it in these terms. At least it's a better and more meaningful name than XBox

I think somebody did. Go on Twitter and put turntable.fm in your tweet. They'll come calling. I otherwise don't remember their name.

I love when the reaction to being wrong is to explain how the thing is responsible for their error and so they waste a few sentences explaining how it could have avoided leading then astray.

Imagine wanting a privacy-centric anything that was Made in the USA

Just call it Dullahan

Not saying it's ok but there is a fair amount of schadenfreude to be had knowing that stuff they made me do in the 90s going to predominantly black schools causes so much outrage when applied to everyone else.

That being said schools shouldn't feel like prison. Students shouldn't feel like their privacy and agency is forfeit. They should not feel subhuman.

Well I know what I'm wasting next weekend on now.

I can see the parent misconstruing compiling elisp with building a new emacs-like editor, but the thread (and article) was about compiling elisp.

That being said a clojure editor could be pretty fun, the oy downside being writing native widgets for a gui. I hardly know anyone who uses emacs in a shell if they can help it, and i know far more people who would prefer to use a shell inside of emacs instead.

True, and that's a good example. I guess what I'm really wondering is how many languages are written in clojure. Clojurescript for instance is just clojure compiling itself.

I'm not sure clojure should be the language of choice to compile anything. At that point you might as well implement elisp as a hosted language as well. What papaw was saying up above was creating an elisp compiler for common lisp will make it portable to native code via sbcl and hosted code via sbcl.

I suppose one could argue writing it in clojure would make it portable to both the jvm and any javascript engine but what clojure project of significant complexity doesn't break out into the host language from time to time

What compilers have been written so far in idiomatic clojure?

EDIT: since I'm thinking about it could anyone imagine debugging a compiler in clojure? Talk about stacks on stacks on stacks...

I heard that Facebook and Google collect engineers and let them do whatever because its better than them being productive at a competitor.

Wow.
