This is Clojure. It's functional, but more as a side effect of focusing intently on simple, immutable, persistent data structures and their compositions. I'd strongly recommend looking into it, along with many of the presentations

One of the definitions of wisdom that I've come to appreciate, similar to the article, is that "wisdom is taking your own advice." Upon reflection I've noticed that most of the time any advice that I give to others is ti

I share a hatred for this sort of thing that happens all too often the closer you get to hardware, mainly as a byproduct of the culture. However, refusing to adhere to a proprietary license damages respect for all software licenses, especia

Looks like Spacemacs [1], but for vim. Spacemacs has a more thorough "what is this." Emacs is best thought of as a lisp virtual machine that happens to edit text. Vim is a hell of a text editor that happens to have a Turing comple

I think there's a very visceral part of seeing a human face do/say something that puts it in another league from text. Even though intellectually it may be known that both text and video are trivially forgable, I think it will be

Totally unsubstantiated, but my opinion on why we use commas instead of the built in record/field seperator characters is simple: the special ASCII characters don't have a cononical printed representation and they don't have

Yes, that's where tramp comes in, although s3 might need a separate plugin. For me the best part of dired is "do-what-i-mean" mode, dired-dwim. You basically get the output of `ls -la` and edit it as a text file. When you sav

It depends on what you mean by "CS". If you mean CS in the academic sense, e.g. algorithm research, probably not much. If you mean CS as in "occupation that involves designing and/implementing software" then I'

I hate to advocate for it, but AWS Cognito is laughably cheap and certainly not going anywhere. Big downside is that there isn't a way to export; you'd have to list all usernames and have every user reset their password. Not rea
