personal case -

clojure works on the jvm, or without (babashka, technically graalvm i think), or in the browser (clojurescript). i think there is a .net implementation, not sure.

then you get clojure inspired languages that are quick to learn if you know clojure (janet, C runtime, fennel on the Lua platform).

And soon a clojure optimized for integration with C++ (Jank).

Bonus, clojure is relatively simple language. (it's a small language where most things are immutable, with a small-ish set of functions operating on a small-ish set of provided data structures).

common lisp is cool but looks way (waaay) more complex. so you will need to invest way more to learn it (might be worth it, dont know). i technically "learned" it but never felt the impetus to use it.

i occasionally do some stuff in emacs lisp. but i'll mainly be running clojure & babashka (and rust). currently refreshing my ocaml, and learning ada (this thing is great, should have learned it a long time ago). also nim.

There is a .NET version, but hardly gets much love, it is already a challenge for F#, and the Iron languages are gone as well.

Unfortunely the CLR seems to have changed meaning from Common Language Runtime to C# Language Runtime, regarding Microsoft focus on the ecosystem.

nursing people has always been expensive.

it's just that everything else's price dropped (economy of scale, new technology etc.) while nursing stayed as expensive as ever.

just to be sure. are you a native english speaker? only speak english?

conceptually simpler, + easier to revert things.

in my case, i abandoned advanced git-ing because it's too much pain for little gain and i typically forgot everything by the time i'd actually need it. nowadays i only use the basics commands with the occasional cp -r.

with jj i get the gain with little pain.

we use cue straight to k8s resources. it made life way better.

but we don't have tons of infra so no idea how it would run for big thousands-of-employees corps.

cue and argocd here. it is pretty neat.

the tf is still in hcl form for now.

i feel deeply confused...

Xbox-type controllers have the left stick where the dpads are. PS-type controllers are symmetric.

I, too, agree that the symmetric layout is the correct one.

I have two left hands but the one on my right arm is backwards, making them mirror opposites of each other. Because of that I prefer symmetric controllers.

I think I understand - by backward do you mean the hand is flipped palm up? So the hand in your right arm is palm up and thumb on the left?

They have two normal hands which are (as all normal hands are) mirror opposites.

The point being that a symmetric controller design makes sense for people with symmetrical hands. (And that asymmetric controllers do not (which is correct))

lol, ok - so they're being cheeky and describing having two normal hands in a strange way to uh emphasize the symmetry? Confusing but kinda funny if that is indeed what was being expressed.

When I point my thumbs to the left the palm of my left left hand is facing up, but my right left hand is backward and when I point the thumb to the left the palm faces down. It's very inconvenient, really, not only do I have two left hands, one of them is backwards. It's a wonder I can even type.

you don't remember playstation clusters?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3_cluster

that said, practically buying hundreds of them should prove to be quite difficult.

The PS3 was uniquely powerful, compared to its x86 peers. It wasn't just cheap - it provided the compute of 30 desktop computers in the space, power, and price envelope of one.

bmi doesn't mean much though.

size, body composition, ethnicity will give very different meanings to the same bmi.

it depends on your circumstances but for a lot of people it's impractical.

i want to spend my free time with my kids, not walking somewhere in the woods/city.

i walk 2 hours once a week after their bed time. but i certainly can't do that every day or i would die of exhaustion.

All my friends are single and spend more time gaming than I spent exercising, by far, for most people it's a time allocation decision. My brother is more active than me despite having a kid

Um, wlcouldnt you walk wkth your kids?

toddlers, so not happening.

plus as a kid, i absolutely hated exercise-walking with my parents. it made me despise walking for ~20 years.

Huh, ai mean both my sisters walk for like an hour a day with their toddlers most days with good weather. So idk, different strokes for different filks I guess

not possible in my case
