my hotel seems to be getting fed up with me playing with its wiring and power switch. I didn't think these things could have such a complicated emotional response, but this one is kink-programmed so perhaps it's code necessary for those functions?

Made a small function to dump core from SBCL running under Emacs.

This code closes all threads, because image can't be dumped when multiple threads are running.

The code: https://gist.github.com/svetlyak40wt/e4afab04a73110f76fd197ee824ce7fc

One-question #capitalism test!

A peddler has been walking the town streets all day. It's been extremely hot and he's tired. As he passes through the market, he sees a man with an enormous decanter of ice water. The man #offers to #trade him a glass of ice water for one of the peddler's wares.

The peddler thinks on it for a second. He can drink at home, but this looks so refreshing... He accepts the trade.

Question: Which of the two men is #better off than he was before the trade?

cazabon,

Answer:

It's a #trick question.

BOTH men are better off than they were before the trade. If either one felt they would be in a worse position after the trade, they would refuse to complete it, and nothing would change hands.

In that moment, in those circumstances, using their own best #judgment of their #needs and #desires, both men #valued what the other #offered to trade more than they valued what they had to #exchange for it.

And therefore, they're both better off afterwards.

#voluntary

Exactly 14 years ago , Satoshi Nakamoto designed the most pathetic / inefficient system ever invented by humankind : the blockchain.

Today, it weights 60 000 tons, wastes constantly 10 gigawatts (more than Belgium or Chile) to process less than 7 transactions per second :

Less than a 33 bps modem from 1990.

This could be a joke if it didn't have such gigantic environmental impact, wasn't enabling billion dollars ransomware industry and was not crushing thousands of lives in the process.

A country smaller than Cuba, is the 2nd largest exporter of food in the world. It has as you would expect, hundreds of schools, banks, credit unions, restaurants, colleges, universities, trains, theatres, one of highest average incomes in the world, hodpitals, factories, grocery stores, and more.

And it uses far less electricity than "bitcoins" ~ which does nothing "useful" except to game money out of the pockets of fools.
