The Clojure development process is notoriously closed to outsiders. Even in the early years, some people contributed time and code, and weren’t thanked. I would view attempts to contribute as very high risk for newcomers. I personally maint

Which of the datalog alternatives do you think is closest? And how much of an improvement do you think a datalog db is over boring Postgres or SQLite? I’ve been weighing what db to adopt.

There's a lot of idiosyncratic advice in those Halloway talks, and people shouldn't blindly adopt it wholesale without evaluating if it's right for them. Learning to evaluate forms directly from the editor is great, but _neve

Not usually, no. Some languages support automatic tail-call optimization (when a recursive call is the returned value of a function, you can effectively replace the current stack with the recursively-called one), but in general, there are l

Having worked on a large hierarchical state machine implementation (using statecharts), I can say that nested FSMs help a bit, but are still nowhere close to capturing the necessary complexity. 80% hat, only 20% cattle.

What do you sell? As a techie, I have the opposite reaction to seeing Paypal, and would probably avoid a Paypal-only purchase.

Seconding Gitup. It was one of the first Git GUIs to map Cmd-Z to undo anything you did, making it very easy to play around and learn new stuff.

Your question assumes the only alternatives involve going back, not forwards. There are still many untried sociopolitical systems.

Spoiler alert: wage theft is just as big as regular theft, if not more. https://prospect.org/economy/wage-theft-shoplifting-cost-dif... Think of shoplifting as "inefficient redistribution".

Maybe, but the subway itself is entirely electric. I think the air on underground platforms gets stale and muggy, but I'm not sure it's actually more dangerous than being above-ground with the cars and trucks.

What is vanilla extract "extracted" from, then? Are you sure you're not thinking of vanilla "essence", which is mostly synthetic vanillin? I can definitely taste the difference between essence and extract. Essence i

Or, they just don't have the resources, market share, or interest to fight this battle. I can think of many better things FF should do other than try to push forward a new image format.

I don't personally know if that's true for JPEG XL, but WebP was kind of underwhelming. I remember all the same conversations happening now on HN, but for WebP back in the day, and Mozilla being really doubtful it was worth the ma

To be fair to the rest of us, this has to be balanced against any detrimental effect longtermist plans would have on long-term survival on Earth. A .002% chance of making it to the stars probably isn't worth a 4% lower chance of keepin

Raycast has a lot going for it, but it has one showstopper flaw for me: too much of it is slow, multi-step, wizard style, when I want the equivalent of a GUI shell one-liner, like Alfred.

The standard advice with spec is to use it at the edges of the system, and not for every function and input. Probably because it incurs runtime overhead to use, and design overhead to apply. On top of which, it's still listed as "

You wouldn’t need the go macro for anything with vthreads. If you continued to use core.async, you’d switch to the blocking variants, and ignore go entirely.
