...because there's a plausible and uncontested rationale, unlike skin color? Men generally have more testosterone, which leads to aggression and worse impulse control. Nobody's talking about the reason men are 95% of police shooti

He's admitted to cheating in the past. The Bayesian priors for him currently cheating are not the same as for other people.

The shoe insert has actually been built, though I haven't heard if it, or something similar, has been used in real cheating yet. It's a shoe-to-Pi device called Sockfish (a pun on the Stockfish chess engine): https://in

No, your assessment is pretty accurate. I've only encountered refs once in the wild, and only because it was too much hassle to refactor working code to use an atom. It turns out that updating a single storage point in an atom with a C

No. I want fewer police, and more mental health, parks, and educational services. And even if I did, the standard for getting a gun should be higher than this.

What's the point of a legal system if it can't deter lawbreaking? Fines should scale the way they do in Scandinavia. Baristas and doctors can both get speeding tickets, but they pay it as a fraction of their income, to ensure it a

Probably referring to the docs. I myself am irritated at the pace of change of all the clj command-line options. In general, Clojure still has poor documentation compared to more popular languages.

I'm not Datomic's biggest fan, but you know it's a hosted database with multiple backends, right? A lot of the heavy lifting is delegated to storage like DynamoDB or Postgres.

Heh, yeah, the design is like the cylinder version of a cuisinart top. But it works quite well for small amounts of coffee, and is very portable. Compared to a french press, the filter is much finer, and the rubber end seals way better. Unf

You'd think a journal calling itself "Reason" would know not to use a reductio ad absurdum argument when it gets to misrepresent the absurdity it's criticizing. The actual Newsweek article from 2017 that they cite says &

Thank you for sharing. If the original post had included stuff from the one you sent, that would be a high-quality blog post worth reading.

This post is the epitome of "tell, don't show", when it should be the opposite. It reads like it wants to convince you to try magit, without demoing a single example of how it's superior.

Hickey is extremely remote from the Clojure community. Most of Cognitect is. Really, only Alex Miller engages on a regular basis. To a lesser extent, Fogus and Ghadi do, too. The Clojurescript community is friendlier, IMO.
