I'd recommend "Lambda, the ultimate GOTO" https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/5753


Reading this now, cheers! Is there anything in particular I should be looking for, or will it jump out at me (bearing in mind that I've never written anything more complex than an unoptimized Lisp interpreter) ?


Vegetarian lifter here. Getting quality protein is a bit more difficult, but if you're ovo-lacto vegetarian then egg whites and whey are great sources. You don't need to overdo it, just make sure you're getting enough. Once you're no longer a complete beginner, you might also want to consider supplementing with creatine, since you aren't getting much in your diet.

For a deeper dive, I'd recommend this excellent article: https://www.strongerbyscience.com/vegetarian-and-vegan-athle...


To add another data point: I've lived in capitol hill for 22 years. I know zero people who have been attacked by homeless people. That's not to say that Seattle's homelessness problem isn't grave, but I suspect that there's a sampling bias in this comment thread.


LD50 is entirely irrelevant to this discussion. No one goes to the store and orders 1mg/kg of a substance. When considering acute harm, the relevant metric is the ratio between a typical recreational dose and an overdose. For example, there are very few tobacco servings that contain more than 20mg nicotine. A person is very unlikely to come anywhere near the, say, 360mg lethal dose.


Nicotine is more toxic than tar and other substances, as measured by the LD50; it's just that those substances are all really hot and carcinogenic.

360 mg / 6 = 18, less than 1 pack has a lethal dose of nicotine. However, since uptake by the body is low for nicotine, smoking what would seem to be a lethal amount doesn't kill people.

I assume you're speaking figuratively. Here's an extremely literal elaboration for the railfans in the thread. The route length of the NYC subway system is 245 miles. Subway construction costs vary across developed countries, but generally fall between $200-$500 million per mile[0]. So under extremely optimistic assumptions, 40 billion would get us to about 80% of the current subway network.

For those interested in analysis of subway construction costs, I highly recommend Alon Levy's work at Pedestrian Observations: https://pedestrianobservations.com/construction-costs/

> but generally fall between $200-$500 million per mile[0]

Does not help that NYC is paying 5-10x that. Given that, the former comment is pretty much in line, even if slightly exaggerated.


Yeah, I never meant to suggest that it was wrong (except in the most literal sense!). Comparative subway costs do not make MTA look good!


Shameless plug: There's also remote GUI support through Windows Admin Center. You can manage your headless server through the browser on your workstation. It's also a good way to learn CLI-based management (the implementation is almost all powershell scripts, and there is a "show script" feature) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/manage/windo...


Still doesn't do AD and DNS etc. So I'm still RDPing from my Mac to get access to RSAT.


Yeah, and I would be surprised to find a person here who praises that policy. This is textbook, premium grade whataboutism.


"Whataboutism" is the new phrase to shoot down any comparisons.

And you can certainly find plenty of people in America supporting the immigrant camps, which Takei has called worse than his internment.



This is essentially the argument laid out in stratechery: https://stratechery.com/2018/the-european-union-versus-the-i...

The link tax seems like wishful thinking on the part of the publishers - an attempt to legislate the market dynamics of yesteryear.


HN has in-feed ads for Y Combinator businesses. A great example of benevolent, win-win advertising, in my opinion.
