> How come legislators want to stop social media companies from using their power to manipulate consumers, but aren’t as interested in other industries doing the same?

Because its like comparing murder with genocide. You have to stop the enormously larger problem first before you get around to fixing your nails.

I see. Wasn't aware of this. However, it does not appear that an official standard for concurrency exists within the Common Lisp Document Repository (CDR). To be honest, CL implementers should just solicit donations for producing a standard.

There are also other basic things needed for adoption - standard APIs for database providers, etc

I am wondering whether next year there will be re-write of Scarf after the vibe-code degenerative collapse of their source code into un-maintainability. At some point, the LLM patch/fix cycle will devolve into straitjacket.

> I would like to see some articles that have a level-headed criticisms or critique of Lisp, it's ideas and it's place in the ecosystem of languages.

Standardized Concurrency is basic table-stakes for a language today. CL does not have a standardized async/await or concurrency model. The standard hasn't been updated since 1995 so it will never happen.

"Some" David will always in the long run, win against Goliath. But many, many millions will be buried.

Does the T&C differ if you do it the old fashioned way ?

A good idea for a Firefox extension. Something that parses T&C's and pops up a DANGER warning on a page.

> Is there a correlation between the quality of the manually written code and AI generated code driven by the same dev?

Aren't you making a strawman argument ? AFAIK this project is not made by an official PostgreSQL core developer, so the entire premise of your argument is invalid.

Many of the small & mid-scale U.S. farmers are choosing to buy Mahindra tractors.

I guess you are fine with the recent increase in homeschooling which is hitting record numbers. The activists..oops "professionals" don't like that either.

I think it is deliberately written to be LLM slop so the folks buying their services will be comforted.

Some people like AI generated comfort-slop nowadays. They feel uncomfortable when they run into individualistic human language.

The only acceptable and correct trade-off for anti-cheat is fully remote gaming + locked-down console, where the Game companies own the software and servers and hardware and just rent you a "play slice" via their locked-down console. I suspect even then, they will want to install tools to monitor you to satisfy their "analytics"

Apple makes good hardware but their software is really sucky nowadays. Finder was always crap but today even Windows Explorer is crap so all the default OS file managers stand in the same shit pool.

These vibe-coded, LLM-generated websites look ALL the same, lol. They have the exact same tells nowadays. The output of LLM's in web-site generation used to vary quite a bit last year but now they all produce the same generic soup. Some sort of weird model collapse is happening.

After 30 years of the web, a "common" component model and "UI standard" is now inadvertently metastasizing into existence. Sadly, it is a crappy standard with many of the UI decisions (cards with icons on their own line) being utterly brain-dead.

So what is the alternative punishment for folks like this who have destroyed the lives of countless people ? Hard labour for life in a mine until death ?

Volkswagen Group (and in general German manufacturing) profits slumped by ~50% because of banning Russian gas and stringent U.S. import tariffs. The increase in gas costs made German manufacturing uncompetitive compared to China.

Writing Specs that are thousands of lines wrong without formalism, type and correctness checking is a major PITA. Wish we had a..compiler that can check our code..err I mean spec.

Length-limited, singular and scalar pieces of data can definitely be held in attributes. It is perfectly fine to have:

     <country name="Liechtenstein" rank="1" gdppc="141100"> 
        <neighbor name="Austria" direction="E"/>
        <neighbor name="Switzerland" direction="W"/>
     <country>

> Instagram and WhatsApp purchases were _very_ good calls

Elementary call when you have the data no-one else has thanks to illicit means and explicitly decided on a buy or bury strategy
