There was a time, not so long ago, when you could 'fix' the things that didn't work in the world by building a new app or website. This is how airbnb came about. Sadly, that is a lot harder now, because all the apps have alre

Consider that luck starts at birth. The genes you get, the health, the level of energy, stubbornness, personality, who you meet in life, etc .. these are all dice rolls. It does take skill to build something, but having the ability to lear

It is the people, not the technology. It is about money and getting rich. Whichever problem a certain blockchain is supposed the solve, the main reason for its existence is that the people who create it want to get rich, fabulously rich and

I think the article should be titled 'JVM isn't for me'. According to the article, the author moved to Janet, because it is Clojure-like without the JVM overhead.

Oh you're right, having coffee at the terrace while typing on the phone, I meant 'pure' functions which take and return immutable data structures.

I don't speak Rust well, but I can share my perspective from Clojure, where I tend to think in data. A program is a sequence of immutable functions taking input from the world and reducing that to instructions to mutate the world (aka

The Internet was totally open for Russians until 2 weeks ago. Yet that did not stop the war, even after months of warnings and pleas from the entire world. People of Russia did not try to stop Putin from the inside, too few went to the str

It's nice that there are terms for any combination of words out there. But to get to the real point it's necessary to cut through the bs (reduce semantic complexity) and just say it like it is. Yes, men protect their women and chi

Photos of queues in shops and empty shelves is the only resistance left. Any non-official information about the war is punishable with 15 years in prison camps. What's happening in Ukraine is a tragedy, but what's happening in Rus

I think you're not getting the full picture. A dictator with thousands of nukes has gone rogue, saying and doing crazy things, eg. is unpredictable. Capitalism works in peaceful times, it stops when tanks are rolling by.

Of course. And now that we've done that, it's time to use all those resources and knowledge and rethink the core algorithms of society. That is, if we want a chance to bring back the beautiful world we've inherited intact fro

Advertising is not a 'foreign exchange for attention currency' (metaphor used by author). On average, it's manipulation, brainwashing and commodification of well told lies. But that isn't the real problem - the real pro

For context, I've been an early bitcoin core contributor and paid 7.5 btc for this old laptop. In all fairness, I've only profited from btc and am still invested, but it doesn't change the conclusions I've had to accept

The trillion dollars is a dream, it's not real.. Fugazzi. Once the price starts falling, the scared 'investors' will get rid of it at any price to reduce loss. The network won't handle the load, so the price will drop ev

Web3 is 'the future' if you're invested in crypto. If you're not (or have been and got out), then it's nothing but the delusion of a sect of believers who want to wish it into existence. Being invested fundamentally

Yeah, I have done it too. I intended to delete a folder, but somehow `/` sneaked in and I pressed Enter... I also think my PC back then looked exactly like the one in the picture from the article :)

To be pedantic, the world is not mutable, rather, it is a process undergoing a continuous transformation. Also, machines deal with data - which is encoded information about the world. So when we say that a thing 'changes' in the w

Clojure's power is not in its ability to be fast. Immutability has a price and it's a price we're consciously paying. JVM also has a performance cost, but it's well worth paying due to the wins of running on a virtual ma

This is not reinvention of PHP as some are commenting. In fact I think this is extremely cool. If I understand it correctly, it allows you to achieve reactive data flow in a single page app without any boilerplate. Meaning - you update the
