If you have it working in babashka though, it means it can also be used with Clojure and compiled to native using GraalVM. So anything that runs in babashka can be compiled to native as well. At least in theory.

You can compile it to a native binary, then you get super fast startup times and small-ish binary sizes.

The fundamental idea of implementing a cash-like currency digitally still makes sense to me. We've digitized almost everything, doing so with currency makes sense. But the benefits of digitization are normally that it offers something

I like them for how easy they are to cook. I tend to eat them once a week. I alternate my protein sources: fish, seafood, chicken, beyond/impossible, egg/dairy, turkey. I avoid pork and beef most of the time, except on occasions.

Before productivity, this is also about simple social quality of life. I know we often think in the smaller system of capitalism, but the point of any economic system is to bring overall better quality of life to citizens. A lot of people a

To be honest, I don't often encounter this behavior in developers. In more management or leadership position, you can see it though. Developers have concrete tasks to work on, what I often see is simply some of them can't really f

It saves a bit of time, but doesn't seem to make a difference on time to market of features, products, improvements or bug fixes. In my experience, it's a quality of life improvement, but the things that dictate actual time to mar

The tool just has to be very well integrated and easy to use. That's why copilot is seeing adoption, because Microsoft owns VSCode and has built a very simple integration of Copilot into VSCode. That said, I'm not even sure VSCode

Do you mean that talent is required to leverage FP effectively? Kind of like how a faster car in the hands of a less talented driver won't make them faster, but might just cause them to crash? Whereas a talented driver would pick a fas

That's a bit of an extreme made up example, which wouldn't be very representative of the common case, but I'll entertain it. Just keep in mind what's true of an extreme edge case, is not necessarily true of the common ca

A theater won't have the same impact everywhere. You likely don't know anything about the neighborhoods in Africa, and how impactful a theater there could be. You know a lot better what a theater could bring to a neighborhood you

"saving a life" is kind of vacuous. You need to contextualize the life saved, do we mean they went to live one more day, or a full long life of prosperity and comfort with a happy painless death from old age. And did they themselv

You did straw man the example though. It's very different to say that building the theater will kill the workers, as to say that the money could be used elsewhere to save someone in an immediately dire situation. Building a community t

I've always found EA to be the most capitalist way of trying to do good. Instead of like being humble, not accumulating wealth for yourself, not thinking of yourself as better, etc. EA is pushing for this weird self-centered egotistica

I'm a little confused, is it a client compatible with Git? So I can use this for a git repo? Or is it a new DVCS, with its own repo type, for which I can use the git client for?

I'm not saying the employer is discriminating. Read my other reply to you, I think it clarifies better what I'm saying. My argument is that, there's a great possibility that gender inequality persists today, and that it contr

My point is focused on equal opportunity. Any individual should have the same opportunity to pursue a tech career, irregardless of their gender. Why tech careers? Because those are really good job opportunities. What people are trying to &q

As a side note, you can't use the word fallacy as a synonym for wrong. A fallacy is when your arguments don't actually prove that the conclusion is right, yet convinces people that it is. It's an error in reasoning that leads

I'm responding to: > Balance it against nothing. The beneficiaries are not the same people as the victims. This makes two claims: 1. That the woman that was hired is not at risk of discrimination. I challenge the truth of this state

Yes, and that's debatable. You can make an argument that women today are still being discriminated against or are in a disadvantaged position because of past discriminations against women. Therefore the women they hired was an appropr

That's debatable. What was the impact of the biases against women towards them working STEM jobs? Could it still linger today in having created the cultural environment which is why few women pursue STEM and why it's still predomi
