This was in the Texas Panhandle, temps this low are abnormal. Cows can survive this temps as long as they have adequate feed and water. They can endure high temps pretty well, again as long as they have water.
It’s not about an unfamiliar syntax. S-exprs are objectively hard to read. The same shape for function calls, macros, blocks, and data means I can’t distinguish them by sight to detect the code structure. I have to do conscious paren matching.
Structure recognition should be pushed as far down in the subconscious as possible. Rainbow parens help, but it’s not nearly enough to stop other expression fragments from jumping into attention. Likewise clojure’s different bracket types for data structures, likewise the editor highlighting the paren matching the one at the cursor. Better than nothing, but incomparably worse than just having visually distinct syntax in the first place.
C-style is fine. Python-style, ML-style, SQL-style, BASIC, shell: all fine for structure recognition. But lisp is just a soup. Or a fog.
Nobody in Lisp does conscious paren matching. We rely on indentation. If you randomly deleted a parenthesis from some )))))), I would not notice. I would rely on the machine to tell me something is wrong.
Most "Lisp is unreadable" forum posting activity is just trolling by nonpractitioners. You can usually tell because it doesn't hit on the real readability issues, only the imaginary ones.
To read a Lisp dialect, you have to know what numerous words mean.
A seasoned Lisp coder cannot read the following, besides understanding its source code structure as data. I would guess that defcrunk foo defines something named foo, which is a crunk whatever that means. After that I have to be looking at the documentation of defcrunk (or asking AI).
I suspect that a good proportion of Lisp is like this for newcomers.
Sometimes people make new Lisp dialects because they don't like the words and they want to make up their own. It might not be their main reason but it figures in there. Someone else has to learn those, including people that already know an existing Lisp or two.
Also, my above defcrunk thing will parse in many a Lisp dialect; and I could make a macro to make it work in some way. Trolls about Lisp have really latched on to this one. Their leader, a front end web developer, wrote a little article about it about an imaginary curse ...
There's no reason for the doctor to involve any patients, other than to write their names down. These are fraud factories submitting thousands of templated claims per year.

...until the patient looks at his health insurance account and notices a charge that he doesn't recognize, or the insurance company decides to do a random audit of a claim.
Right, it's true that insurance companies investigating and denying claims is a major constraint on claims fraud. That's why Medicare and Medicaid still deny a lot of claims (although not so many as UHC) despite being publicly run.
I’m quite happy with my Perixx Periboard 335 replacing the Microsoft Ergo Sculpt. Standard layout, semi-split, tented, low (-ish) profile, mechanical switches, wired.
Took me a lot of searches to find something meeting my requirements
Plot the days when your air conditioner is on with the temperature of your room. It will have many concrete examples and a long-term correlation showing that actually, the air conditioner is associated with the temperature going up.
It very rapidly hit the bottom end of the prediction range before jumping up again pretty high. All that time interest rates were held constant and low.
Given they claim feedback lags of two years or so, one wonders what the point of all this is... (one cannot run a control loop with control lags substantially longer than the time constant of the system; that's basically the recipe for an unstable control system, assuming of course the control system is doing anything).
This works on my system76 lemur pro 10 with pop!_os:
- click and hold on the touchpad with thumb
- swipe with another finger to drag around. Multiple, disjoint strokes work, so there's nothing special about switching fingers
It would be a bit uncomfortable to do for long periods, since my thumb has to hold down with clicking force.
On that note, why is this possible on iOS but not Android? It's even possible to pick up several icons on the homescreen and then move them to a different screen with your other fingers. Android is a nightmare by comparison.
The lenses in your eyes refract different wavelengths at different angles - think of a rainbow coming out of a prism. Only one wavelength can be perfectly tuned to project a clear image onto your retinas. We are optimized for green, red is close enough, but blue always looks blurry.
I guess it depends on the cows
