I buy a broken down camaro. The windshield is gone. The sheetmetal is rusted. The frame is bent. The motor needs rebuilt. I patch/replace the sheetmetal, and paint it. I straighten the frame. I rebuild the motor, and put a supercharger

He built huge amounts of wealth by building rocket ships and electric cars because he's worried about the earth becoming uninhabitable and thinks we need to be an interplanetary civilization. This is a dude who's dedicated his ent

Not the poster in question, but I think some of it might just be the "big ball of mud" of long maintained software, and some of it may indeed be the managerial structures around software, which incentivizes managers to grow their

Increasingly, I don't see clojure as primarily a matter of the clojure-on-jvm implementation, but as a distinct and (generally) hosted dialect of lisp. Clojurescript is a clojure. Janet is a clojure. ClojureCLR is a clojure. Fennel is

I don't understand your perspective. Perhaps you could share some elaborating resources? So far as I can tell, Russia now controls some 40% of the worlds grain production which feeds much of Europe and North Africa, 70+% of neon produc

They taught us the search engine operators in elementary school computer class. It’s a shame that they’ve gone away now, and the internet is so much worse than it was then.

I didn’t. But I had to check that you weren’t talking out of your rear. It was a damn condescending comment. “Young people don’t agree with the established foreign policy position, it must mean they’re weak,” kinda thing. I mean the greates

I get war (kind of… never fought one). But I don’t get why this war is my war. It’s a conflict between Russia and Ukraine. We have no sworn defense pact with Ukraine, except that if nuclear aggression arises from some other power, we defend

Utterly unrelated, but it’s fascinating how the word film has gone from “putting something on celluloid film” to “recording audiovisual data”, just like tar has gone from “tape archive” to “archive of file(s)” and car/cdr have gone fro
