I used to go to the library, find books with the relevant chapters related to what I wanted to learn, and the librarian would photo copy all the pages I wanted to take home. So I guess technically you could copy all the books for your own u

I guess one note for anyone inspired is that re-frame is really just for state management - it doesn't compare to Om and definitely could not replace it. Reagent would be the best comparison, and if you wanted something equivalent to J

Big ups for 950! This will get rid of a lot of unnecessarily transparent text in my codebases (black/95 etc). Now fingers crossed that at some point we see a 25. XD Edit: seconding sentiment of thanking the tailwind team <3

It's a little more than just a bunch of custom css classes which are granular to the point of single CSS properties. It also implements a tokenized design system - basically providing you a scaled set of units. You don't have to r

I get the concern here, and emotionally I share it. Half of my contacts now have very strange AI avatars as their profile pictures and I still recoil a little every time I see them (the avatars). I think it's a slippery slope and I don

There are plenty of people who live their entire life with bitcoin - they get paid in bitcoin, pay their bills in bitcoin, and send each-other money in bitcoin. I think it's safe to say your experience is an outlier, just like theirs a

I think this sentiment that this will happen in the "near future" is the cause for exactly the sort of fatigue the author is talking about. If you mean in the next year or two, I hate to disappoint you, but barring some massive le

Bitcoin has provided hundreds of billions in value, chatGPT has provided me with one hundred times the spam. I'm actually optimistic about both crypto and AI, but I see the authors point. I really don't think the comparison is har

Analyze how you and your closest friends get/got along initially. Meet lots of people, be vulnerable, and let your guard down. From there, it's just a numbers game. For me, I normally share something mildly personal and see how th

Hands down the Supernote A6X by Ratta. After having used styluses on phones and Apple Pencils on iPads, I thought that writing on a digital device would always be a gimmick. The writing experience on the Supernote though has been incredible

I also tried to grok emacs when I started learning clojure. Returning to (neo)vim was one of the best days in my entire career. I now use clojure + neovim thanks to: https://github.com/Olical/conjure Dead simple to set

Not sure about the parent comment in particular, but I think the original article nails it on the head. The 'structural editing' makes it integrate so well with the REPL. I'm not sure how Jupyter notebooks work, but in clojur

I have, and it’s fantastic to learn. I think there’s a focus on ambiguity that is incredibly important for language learners (combine some gestures with your hands and ‘it’ ‘this’ ‘that’ ‘there’ ‘he’ ‘she’ can get you really far). However,

A lot of the language learning methods out there really are built to be graded/measured. Books, courses, duolingo, anki - they all kind of seek to answer this question ‘how can we measure your language and make sure you’re progressing

I was quoting Diana Rogers, who provided a source for her statements, so I thought I would include it. I cannot access the full article, but from the abstract that seems to not be congruent with what the study is suggest. Perhaps you are co

Consuming a lot of TMAO is proven to be bad for the heart. Cod contains TMAO in great amounts. Yet white fish is one of the most recommended heart healthy foods. You have to be careful when talking about specific mechanisms in terms of Whol

I don't disagree that it's comparable - in fact that's half my point. That was the first 'fact' I listed. It's pointless to claim bioavailability is 'debunked', because soy stands on it's own in

Yes but before feeding the cow the bean we press it for soybean oil, which now accounts for a significant portion of calories consumed globally (somewhere around 10%, a quick search did not yield the study and I can't recall it exactly

I would highly recommend the book Sacred Cow. It has links to hundreds of studies within for further research. The authors, Diana rogers and Robb Wolf have been on many podcasts since it's release to discuss the topic. If you want spec

This is quite a red herring. The bulk of soy production is waste, that we have managed to use for cattle feed, because they can upcycle it into consumable nutrients. If we got rid of all cattle, we would not reduce the amount of soybeans gr

This is absolutely not 'debunked'. Taken from wikipedia entry on Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score [1]: - Chicken has a PDCAAS of 0.95 - Soy has a PDCAAS of 0.92 - Black beans have a PDCAAS of 0.74 (highest legume)

While I understand your point, reading a good book can also be addictive. Far more than any technology I use. I have to enforce reading bans on myself when I have a big deadline because I will sacrifice work, sleep, and gym to get to the en
