Slava Pestov@zwarich @joe @foonathan @dotstdy @ianh My prediction is that at some point in the next 5 years this whole “systems language” fad will blow over as programmers get tired of constantly being forced to deal with value semantics and unique ownership, and they’re going to rediscover the simplicity and elegance of garbage collection with uniform tagged pointers, at which point they’ll give this paradigm some really dumb name and pretend it’s brand new

Jens OhligIch weiß, das ist naiver Hippie-Shit, aber ich würde mir wirklich wünschen, dass wir eine Debatte führen darüber, wie wir als reiche Gesellschaft dafür sorgen können, dass es allen gut geht. Und nicht darüber, wie man am besten Schwächere bestraft.
mhoyeTo spell this out clearly, the reason RAM has quadrupled in price is that a huge quantity of RAM that hasn't been produced yet has been bought with money that doesn't exist to populate GPUs that also haven't been produced to go in datacenters that haven't been built powered by infrastructure that may never exist to meet a demand that doesn't exist at all to make profit margins that mathematically can't exist while economists talk about this thing they call the "rational markets hypothesis".
Ingo DachwitzIch hab ein langes Interview mit Max Schrems (@noybeu ) über den derzeitigen Angriff auf den europäischen Datenschutz geführt.
Er sagt: Nirgends wird der Datenschutz so zum Sündenbock für eigenes Versagen bei der Digitalisierung gemacht wie in Deutschland.
Und er erzählt, wie eine Reform der DSGVO seiner Meinung nach aussehen müsste, damit sie kleinere Akteure wirklich entlastet, während sie wirksamer gegen Datenkonzerne wird.
DSGVO-Reform: „Beim Datenschutz ist Deutschland inzwischen dem Silicon Valley näher als dem Rest der EU“
Die Datenschutzgrundverordnung kann reformiert werden, sagt Max Schrems - aber ganz anders, als die EU es gerade plant. Im Interview erklärt der prominente Datenschützer, warum er keine Hoffnung mehr auf Aufsichtsbehörden setzt und wieso seine Reformvorschläge selbst von Konservativen unterstützt werden.
Christiane PetersI removed #theguardian from my reading list. For years I’ve supported them financially but I also refused their trackers and cookies. Now it seems it’s no longer possible to read articles without a login or accepting all cookies. I’ll save my arguments why this is not acceptable. Goodbye.

I'm currently writing some #CommonLisp code that uses a lot of first-class functions. This means I'm using funcall a lot, which makes the code not as elegant as it could be (funcall foo ...). #Scheme is not an option because too many useful Common Lisp features are missing there. However, (set-macro-character #\! (constantly 'funcall)) gives a much nicer syntax: (!foo ...) - so far this works really well... ;-)
