Clojure has an official JavaScript port named ClojureScript for running in the browser, which should serve as a good case study for how and to what degree the language is runtime-independent.

I tried out a HoloLens at a rich friend's house and had a similar experience, despite it also having a small FOV. It blew my mind and instantly registered as a really big deal. But as another commenter here pointed out, the hardware is

Normally I'd say go for it. If it really is that bad, sometimes you just need to recover your mental health before you can begin to figure out what's next. Sounds like you have savings and are in a generally decent position to do

When I listen to the same music over and over it rapidly becomes deadened. When I have it fully internalized I stop truly "listening" to it at all. A static music selection becomes a wasteland. It can recover given time - if I don

Yeah, you have to dig several pages deep into the tutorial before you see meaningful code examples that distinguish it from other languages. This is a mistake that language websites make way too often.

I've done some thinking about the problem of regulation bloat (setting aside regulatory capture for now). Good regulation, like good code, would express ideals and objectives in the simplest way possible that can still implement the so

These policies, when they exist, tend to be very entrenched in the organization. The legal department will push management to keep them so they can avoid the associated risks. I would look for another job. While these clauses are relatively

Something I've always wondered is where the channel "names" come from. The ones that are usually 4-6 characters, seemingly random, often starting with K or W for some reason. Like KVUE or W2XMN or KLTY.

Many tech companies have a toxic machismo culture around knowledge and skills. But there are lots that aren't that way; I'd say, try and find one of those.

Bitbucket is trash. I recently lost access to all of my repositories because when I tried to sign in, it corralled me to create a new "Bitbucket Cloud" account instead of letting me use my regular one. Except it didn't "

For blockchain to be useful, your use-case has to: 1) Involve coordination between parties who don't trust each other; if they trust each other, a regular database will do fine and be much more efficient. 2) Exist completely within the

I went running the other day for the first time in over a year, just as a way of getting fresh air. And before that I'd already lost 8 pounds since quarantine started, just because I haven't been eating restaurant-portions.

Node and Go are both purpose-built for the web. Rust's target market is much broader than that; some people even use it on embedded devices. One of its headlining features is its slim standard library. That trait shouldn't be thro

One of the unusual things about Rust is how wide a segment of developers it's trying to please. Everyone from C to JavaScript. It's fascinating how well it's doing so far, but it leads to inevitable compromises at a certain p

It absolutely does not belong in the standard library. That said, Rust does need a "go-to" stable library for web serving, like what Express is for Node. It might make sense for the core team to endorse one, or even spend time h
