If I am associating the right error, it’s because you’re missing a critical browser API. I will add an intercept to show a message instead of an error, but I won’t be able to support legacy versions of browsers while it’s just me unfortunat

I assume you mean the marketing site, probably on android, most likely Firefox? I’ve received that feedback just haven’t had time to get around to it. It should be fixed now though :) let me know if you have any more issues! PS the app is v

You are talking about a very different product :) I have spent over a year making sure everything works for many languages. The whole point is to have one interface, for all my languages, big and small. Additionally, please try it out befor

Why do you need a beautiful UI? Because you need something to use for thousands of hours. Why have a visual interface at all? It’s more convenient to use, is way more engaging, and just better for learning. There is an audio component to th

I’m not convinced eliminating effort in places you don’t enjoy it is the right course of action. A recent example: I had to rearchitect major parts of my pipeline the other week. I find working on the pipeline very dull and not enjoyable. S

Yeah second this. I find model updates mildly interesting, but besides grok 4 I haven’t even tried a new model all year. Its a bit like the media cycle. The more jacked in you are, the more behind you feel. I’m less certain there will be w

Every time I need a deep research (1-2x per month) I ask all the providers. OpenAI’s deep research has consistently performed the worst by a significant margin. If you’re just using OpenAI’s deep research, then you’re the one missing out ;-

Not OP, but how much of the modern computing landscape bullshit that it cut was introduced in the last 5-10 years? I think if one were to graph the progress of technology on a graph, the trend line would look pretty linear — except for a ma

Well it’s only iterating on lists because I’m recurring with a function that returns a list. I could use (recur (subvec coll 1) …) If I needed to maintain the vector throughout the loop. However you need to change your base case and

Yeah like I said I reach for loop first and foremost. This is what it would look like with comments if it were actually something complicated (although the comments are quite trivial here): (loop [coll [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9] memo []] (

I would agree that map-indexed + *nth* is a code smell. I use map-indexed all the time though, just when I need the index, not other elements in the list

This is not the best example, it's just the most recent example (what I was doing last night) that can fit in one screen: (defn report [date] (let [[d w m q y] (-> (comp tier* recall* (partial c/shift date :day))

Personally, I would normally reach for loop to check neighboring elements very ergonomically. (loop [[a b c & more] coll] (recur (apply list b c more))) There’s also partition if you're working with transducers/threads&

Maybe hyperbole on the frequency, but not the condensation. I meant more along the lines of “most of the complicated code I write in Clojure is an order of magnitude more dense.” _Most_ of the code I write would be 1:1 or 1:2 with other lan

My comment to code ratio is magnitudes higher in Clojure than in other languages, which helps a lot with this. Also writing Clojure can be incredibly terse, resulting in quite high-effort when reading. Conversely, a lot of time I can conde

It’s been my experience that most people opinions on AI is inversely proportional to the timescale they have been using it. Using AI is kind of like having a Monika Closet. You just push all the stuff you don’t know to the side until it’s o
