I'm guessing it's because the creator, Hickey, is anti-inheritance, and the Clojure community as a whole is uncritical of him. I actually agree that inheritance can be tricky, but is still needed sometimes, especially for interop.

The Clojure concurrency model was the then-fashionable STM, which has largely not panned out anywhere. Luckily, atoms (based on a simple CAS) meet 99.9% of use cases.

Andy Ngo is a neo-nazi-friendly liar that claims everyone who criticizes him is antifa, and selectively edits his videos to distort the truth. Twitter threads of Ngo using selective video editing to make it seems like up is down: https:&#x

Pretty sure Musk doing right-wing grifter Andy Ngo's bidding and kicking off Ngo's targets counts as "suppressing balanced debate", only it's happening for real: https://theintercept.com/2022/11

The issue for me wasn't that it was under-explained or anything. My issue is how jarringly out-of-place it feels. In the midst of a futuristic space opera, they shoehorn in a notorious serial killer from the Victorian era. JMS meant it

I hadn't thought of that, but maybe. There's some weird inaccuracies. The paragraphs on HTTP/1.0 makes it sound like images weren't sent before HTTP/1.0, but NCSA Mosaic was doing exactly that before HTTP/1.0.

Probably. HTTP/3 uses QUIC over UDP by default, to bypass some of TCP's flaws. It doesn't use TCP except as a fallback.

I think I understand your point of view just fine. I have friends, family, and exes in AA and NA. I just disagree that the best way to treat addiction is a settled matter. What I think is still up for debate is whether AA's framings ar

Probably tough for psych research, but trivially easy for biomedical research, which has one or two orders of magnitude more money involved. HN loves to critique psych research without understanding that once you're above chemistry in

I see you've gone from recursion "can iterate asynchronously" to it "does do that by default". In most languages, recursion is not asynchronous, even if it could be, which is part of the point I was making. I'm

Fair warning, STM has largely not panned out in industry, and is no longer in common use. Clojure was built when it was still fashionable, but even having the advantage of immutable-by-default data structures, 99% of modern Clojure doesn&#x

Recursion doesn't do that by default, though. And if you have to alter your code to run recursive fns on a new thread or executor, nothing prevents you from doing something similar with a loop, either.

You think so? I can't think of many other interfaces that have a site like https://ohshitgit.com dedicated to them.

Red Dwarf wasn't really serialized. There's some key plot points at the beginning and season finales, but for the most part, each episode was a self-contained comedy, and things largely went back to normal next week. Neon Genesis

Wasn't it every week for half the year, then? Barring stuff like holidays, seasons mostly kept to a once/week schedule.

Wait, isn't that the Jack the Ripper episode? I found the idea that aliens are toting Jack the Ripper around laughable, honestly. I don't remember how the rest of the episode was, but I always found that idea one of the stupidest

Of the show categories you mentioned, they don't exactly support your argument. News has little rewatch-ability, and partially recaps what's going on, in case you're just joining. Game shows almost never have long-running arc

Murder only applies to sentient beings. Abortion almost never kills anything more complicated than a frog, and for the exceptions, it's always due to medical complications. Sure, it has "potential", but I could "potentia

Nice, but it would be great if Apple fixed the UI and bugs in Apple Music first. I can't hide the non-streaming parts I'll never use, but sometimes search keeps directing me to it. And that's when searching itself isn't

No, but it offers a lot of escape hatches to get closer to Java-level performance: transients, mutable fields with deftype, atoms, transducers to minimize intermediate sequences, type-hinting, Java interop, etc. I've seen Clojure sped
