Hi,
I have been using a fairly old Macbook Pro and need to develop Common Lisp in Linux. I am currently using VirtualBox for that, but sometimes it can get slow or hangs/freezes.
I have been thinking about getting a Raspberry Pi 4. I have read other posts here and on other Lisp-related subreddits that SBCL can run on Raspberry Pi OS. I was wondering that suppose if I wanted to compile SBCL or other large Lisp projects (30k+ LOC) from sources, would a Raspberry Pi 4 be able to handle that? If I develop said project with Emacs and Slime/Sly, would it slow down the computer?
Many thanks.
A lot of accusations get thrown around by sceptics of Gamestop's supporters. I am interested that people refer to us as something beginning in C and rhyming with pult.
I decided to compare the vibe here on this site to a checklist of qualifiers (admittedly cherry-picked to give the accusers a chance).
The group is focused on a living leader to whom members seem to display excessively zealous, unquestioning commitment.
We have two
The group is preoccupied with bringing in new members.
Nah not really, some of us tell friends and family so we don't feel guilty if they miss out
The group is preoccupied with making money.
... ... ...
Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished.
Well-meaning questions do get downvoted as FUD, counter-DD is theoretically encouraged but you don't see it much
Mind-numbing techniques (such as meditation, chanting, speaking in tongues) are used to suppress doubts about the group and its leader(s).
Mantras like 'Hedgies R Fuk', 'All shorts must close' and 'Tits are jacked' kinda qualify here
The leadership dictates sometimes in great detail how members should think, act, and feel (for example: members must get permission from leaders to date, change jobs, get married; leaders may prescribe what types of clothes to wear, where to live, how to discipline children, and so forth).
Lol, no
The group is elitist, claiming a special, exalted status for itself, its leader(s), and members (for example: the leader is considered the Messiah or an avatar; the group and/or the leader has a special mission to save humanity).
We try not to be elitist but it's hard cos if we're right we're really right. Mission to save humanity... hmmm through MOASS all things are possible but at minimum we want to challenge the inequalities in the market and enact reform.
The group has a polarized us-versus-them mentality, which causes conflict with the wider society.
Shill accusations, anyone who speaks down on Gamestop on Tv get's called short immediately and squabbles with Theatre-stock, this crops up a bit
The groupβs leader is not accountable to any authorities (as are, for example, military commanders and ministers, priests, monks, and rabbis of mainstream denominations).
The groups spiritual leaders say nothing because getting friviously sued is annoying
**The group teaches or implies that its supposedly exalted ends justify means that

As we all know, 2020 was an intense and lonely year for many of us, which led /u/finder_of_the_humans/ to spend a whole fucking year on a friend finding project that uses 28 questions to find you compatible people to talk to. It's the coolest project I've come across in a while in the way it works (hence my posts) .
TLDR:
- Answer 28 questions
- Get matched with others based on answers + your interests
- Mostly everyone is from reddit
---
So how does it work?
Step 1. Find compatible matches
Basically it matches people up based on answers to 28 simple questions. For each question, you choose your answer and also answers from people you would want to talk to. This is your compatible matches list.
Step 2. Friend requests
Once you have the list, you can then send out friend requests to these users, (or receive requests from them), and once either of you have accepted a request, you get connected with that person, you form a friendship. You eventually meet up, get married, 3 years later you get divorced and fight over the who gets the coffee table with 5 lawyers involved.
Why this is awesome:
- - Reach! Over 5000 people have joined, which means most people get 20-40 matches - people active in the past two weeks. If you're very picky (or a general outliner) you could expect a bit less
- - Time! It'll save you a bunch of time! Imagine how long it'd take you to message 5000 people individually.
What are the questions:
- - more about you- age (you have to be 16 or older!)
- - best part of your day
- - gender
- - sexuality
- - interests (we have a HUGE list to pick from - all the way from lockpicking, to biotechnology, to minecraft)
- - geographical continent
- - how often you'd like to communicate with a friend
- - type of friendship
- - whether you'd be willing to share pictures
- - whether you'd be willing to have voice calls
- - religious
- - working
- - studying
- - video games / books / drinking / smoking / drugs
- - whether you want to hide/not match with 'low effort profiles' (this could be a life saver for some of yall)
Sounds sketchy, or you have concerns?
A few people have concerns about the above. So I can highlight a few things.
- You can be completely anonymous if you choose (and probably should be anyway) - just use throwaway contact info.
- There is a very simple and short privacy policy as well.
- And lastly you can read through everyone's feedback in pre
Weed.
For example, if you guys really love the same TV show and watch it all the time. Did this happen because you both already loved it to begin with, or because one person introduced it to the other and they came to love it as much as you did?
Im really into writing personally but I work long hours and Iβm also going to school so I havenβt had much time to engage with the hobby? I was hoping maybe talking to other people about that similar hobbies would kinda get my creative juices flowing. Plus itβs really fun listening to people talk about what theyβre passionate about haha.
Edit : Fall in love someone who you donβt share common interests with.
I've been talking to this guy, and it seems like we have nothing in common in terms of interests and hobbies, and the only thing we share is that we work in education, of course the content dries out within those conversations as well.
The thing is though, he has great communication skills and is a kind, caring, thoughtful and understanding person. I don't think the short-term chemistry is really there but the long-term compatibility is, as we share the same values as people (good communication, understanding, kindness). I'm also a realistic person and know that you can't always get a 'spark' with everyone you try to date.
Chemistry is great in the short-term but if you don't have long-term compatibility then it's not going to work.
What if in the meantime, it seems like the person you are talking to as all the great qualities that you look for and also possess, but the at the same, the initial chemistry isn't there? How long do you wait/not wait for that overall attraction and spark to build up?
TLDR: Either Humanity is alone in our galaxy - an incredibly worrying possibility - OR that intelligent ET life is likely to take an interest in our species' development.
I'm sure I'm not the first to think of this, I'd be curious if others have thoughts or links to explore similar thinking on this topic.
It seems one of these possibilities must be true:
- Earth is the only planet in our galaxy to host intelligent life
- Intelligent life in our galaxy is quite rare
- Intelligent life in our galaxy is (relatively) common
On point 1, the possibility that we are the only intelligent life in our galaxy (perhaps universe) should be incredibly worrying. It would mean the likely existence of a Great Filter element to the development of advanced civilizations (Something prevents either the development of life, development of intelligent life, or development of "advanced" intelligent life). Since, by definition, it's unlikely that our species has crossed some barrier by developing into intelligent life, it follows that humans will likely be unable to develop into an advanced, space-faring civilization (i.e. we're taken out by climate change, nuclear war, AI, gamma ray burst, or some other existential risk).
On point 2: if intelligent life is quite rare in our galaxy, it follows that other ET civilizations would have a strong interest in monitoring and learning from the few examples of life that do exist. I acknowledge this is perhaps a human-centric view, but I think it would be a near universal desire that upon learning that advanced civilizations are quite rare, there is value in understanding how others are developing in order to learn more, understand potential risks, further develop science or an understanding of our universe, etc.
On point 3: If intelligent life is common in our galaxy, then it's quite possible that any advanced ET civilization may not have much of an interest in humanity. We may be the equivalent of ants to them, not particularly interesting to most. But the flip side is, in this case there are a lot of intelligent civilizations out there, and it's likely that at least some portion of them would take an interest in a species on an advanced civilization development track.

Over the past few days, we've seen a variety of announcements on the subject, including a few posts, comments, etc.
To that end, I'd like to make an [serious] thread about the matter. I'd like to gauge interest, figure out what and who we have at our disposal in terms of resources, and create a place for general discussion on the matter.
If you support the idea, say so.
If you think it's a terrible idea, say so too.
If you are willing to put in some effort, please state your skills and to what extent you'd like to contribute.
If you want to discuss sets of rules, this is also worth discussing (for instance - no points awarded for "memes", images, or gifs?), then this is the place.\
edit : The current plan is to let this post sit, marinate, and be discussed for some time before we make any decisions or any rash moves. In the spirit of doing it the right way, I believe we should take our time.
Covid-19 despite having a low mortality rate and primarily affecting persons who are no longer drivers of national economies nor of military importance was still able to bring international economies to a halt and impacted National Defense on a massive scale.
This demonstrated the massive practicality that biological weapons can have.
Think about the effects this virus had now imagine a virus with similar attributes except with a 10% - 15% mortality rate across the general population if not higher. Such a weapon could absolutely devastate a nation's ability to wage war effectively or even at all. Additionally such weapons have the potential to have much cheaper R&D costs and procurement costs in comparison to a Nuclear Weapon thus making them perhaps more procurable to smaller nations and economies.
On a second note an untraceable biological weapon attack has the potential to halt or delay a conflict before it even occurs.
For example Russia's buildup on Ukraine's border, if a deadly untraceable virus were to have an outbreak in Moscow causing massive panic, supplies shortages, and troop refocusing would Russia even be able to launch and maintain a campaign against Ukraine?
Thoughts and discussion on the topic is appreciated.
Was dating someone recently and thinking βwow itβs crazy how much I have in common with this personβ. After it ended I realised It wasnβt some cosmic coincidence because I know multiple people who are completely different from that person, who I also have a lot in common with.
It seems when you are interested in an above average amount of things it isnβt hard to find common ground with other people. The hard part for me is figuring out what specific things I should be prioritising since otherwise I know Iβll just adopt the personality of my partner and their interests for the sake of the relationship.
Starting to think I might have to find someone to date who also has ADHD or Iβll just get bored.
My question is basically in the title but here is a brief summary of the quite complicated situation:
My parents divorced when I was seven years old and I had to live with my mother. That time took a huge toll on my mental health because of the divorce and because I was struggling in school at that time anyways (the "gifted kid who didn't really fit into the school system" kind of struggle).
My mother was overwhelmed with everything and my father didn't really care about any responsibility at all. He only saw himself as the "entertainer" who had the kids (me and my brother, now 17) every other weekend and took us to amusement parks, bought us cool stuff, took us on vacations etc. As a kid, I always loved that but now that I'm older, my visits feel more like something that I have to do rather than a nice time. I feel terrible for writing this because I know it should be different but it's not.
As for my mother, the situation is even worse. In my teens, I've struggled with mental health issues (bullying at school, depression, being diagnosed with autism at 16) and she just completely pushed me away. She always told me to "just get over it", to "just lose weight and you won't be bullied", and to "suck it up" which made me hate her. Again, I know that probably sounds pretty messed up but I felt like at least your own mother should care about you and not make things even worse. I was beyond happy when I moved out for college. I felt free and happy, kind of like leaving a tunnel, and I feel like since then, our relationship got a little better but it's still not where it should be. We can talk and spend some time together but it just feels off. When I see my boyfriend or other friends interacting with their families, it seems so natural and loving which is missing in my family.
I'm on summer break now and live at my father's place which is pretty awkward. I want things to get better, to maybe even develop a normal relationship with my parents but we don't seem to have anything to bond over. My father is pretty conservative and didn't even want me to go to college because I'm a woman while I'm quite liberal. All he does all day is watch soccer and "trash tv" and talk about it which I have no interest in. I've tried for the sake of spending time with him but I couldn't find any enjoyment in it and it also didn't feel like he appreciated me being there because he didn't say anything. With my mother, it's similar but we have at least some things in commo

Iβm beginning to rethink my decision to take a job with an $8k sign on bonus because in the short time Iβve been here Iβm not impressed with this company and Iβm already thinking about leaving in the next year. The terms are 2 years, with installments paid every 3 months. However the kicker is that if I leave before then I have to pay back the bonus AND 9% interest. Iβm wondering if this is normal or have I been trapped? Iβm a new grad so it sounded great when I first took the job, now Iβm not so sure.
I seem to read many titles with this type, like Douluo Dalu where MC's wife is hundred thousand years older than MC. But, why is it the opposite is rare? At least, I never read any novel where the male MC's thousands years older than his wife. Sometimes, it might even get scorned for lolicon or something.
It just kind of ironic, how easily people can accept much older female compared to much older male. It's also weird that how the old female can easily accept much younger male as her husband, while there might be many reasons for old male rejecting much younger female.
How are your thoughts on this?
Obviously
But it became even more obvious - Iβve started a course this week and found myself having lunch yesterday with a girl who I would assume to be a militant feminist at first glance and she would probably assume me to be a dickhead gym guy, and yet we got on really well.
I canβt imagine it would even be possible for me to have approached her randomly on the street and built a similar connection regardless of what I said.
Iβm not looking to date this particular girl, but it reminded me how much easier dating is when it happens organically. Of course itβs not always viable to wait for it to happen organically and sometimes you have to force things via dating apps or cold approaches etc but Iβll definitely be looking for other ways to meet people organically now
Hi there, everyone! Like the title says, I'm looking for friends to just talk about stuff we like! I don't have that many friends, so I thought I'd try this community to get some more. I'm sure we can become quality friends if we chat and share some common interests.
Some of the stuff I'm into are Marvel, both comics and the MCU, videogames, anime, manga, horror movies, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Gacha games, among other things.
I have a Nintendo Switch and Steam. When on PC I mostly play Minecraft tho. I have both Bedrock and Java, so if you'd like to play, I'm always up for that! I also enjoy drawing and writing, be it fanfics or roleplaying.
I mostly chat through discord, which is where I'm most active.
I hope to hear from someone soon, my DM's are always open!
