@hardmous@mastodon.sdf.org bear is pretty much one and a half times the size of a big silverback. I am going for the bear

@kat sounds like another pretty safe position.

@kat all I saw was this:

@hardmous@mastodon.sdf.org what kind of bear?

Largest gorilla is about 600 lbs(275 Kg) and a Grizzly or Polar bear can be up to 1100 lbs or as much as 1500 lbs respectively.

And in a fight where? Shall we stage it on ice floats of the arctic?

I hope everyone is okay, and practicing social distancing.

@Murkrow Hooray for a good sock collection. I just have white ones and black ones...

I hope everyone is doing well. If your job gave you the ability to work from home, use this as an opportunity to show them how much more productive you can be without having to come into an office. Don't prove their fears that people they can't see aren't working. Silver lining might be more remote working positions... :)

@Kamfer@mastodon.social one could hope :)

So far we have over 500 companies that are either recommending or requiring employees to work from home.

What are the chances that companies will find increased productivity from people able to work from home, and not have to deal with commutes and death by meeting?

Or will people being given liberal work from home policies all of the sudden actually screw-off and not work (the management's fear/prevailing opinion/reason for not having more WFH situations up until now)?

There could be a silver lining, and perhaps companies would see that people would work even though you can't see their "butts in seats". One could hope.. :)

Harvey Weinstien sentenced today 23 years. 3 years for one count of rape, and 20 years for one count of "an illegal sexual act".

I am trying to imagine what an illegal sexual act is, such that it is 7 times worse than rape?

@freemo Like my coffee... with cream and 2 sugars :)

@akater once I finish the mentored track on exercise.io I will look for a proper walk through tutorial.

@akater when I started off I was using Vim and just running the tests from the command line. So it kind of didn't matter what one I ran. But as I move over to Emacs I want to do it "the right" way. Just need to figure out what it is

@akater still bouncing around different emacs setups.

@akater wow that is a lot. I think I have 4 lines in mine

@akater still haven't figured how to access the hyper stuff locally

@akater I got both CCL and sbcl running, and they both seem pretty much the same. Sbcl just released 2.2 but I don't know if it will matter much. Added stuff about blocks. I still like CLisp repl from the command line works nice without adding redline around it

@akater I have them both running in different configurations, I am not noticing much in the way of differences, but I am so novice or neophyte ... Nematode even.. I really need a good feature walkthrough.

@akater then the next question WOD be SLY vs SLIME
