This is a great article on the errors: https://lambdaisland.com/blog/2022-04-07-Clojure-Error-Messa... Also the REPL makes it so easy to debugging: https://www.cognitect.com/blog/2017/6/5

Clojure libraries are good but you have Java and JS interop for mundane, everyday libraries. Is there anything wrong with interop? I think most Clojure libraries rightfully focus on things that either only possible or needed in Clojure. Thi

OK, so the feedback is valid, but your colleague is overwhelmed. I have some experience navigating such situations, but let's start with the metaphor of feedback. "Feedback" is a term originally coming from Electrical Enginee

Just finished the Foundation, I just couldn't put down the kindle. I don't know how I missed this gem. It is really social-science fiction if that makes sense - the premise is a mathematical model that can predict the future of an

I call it a terrorist state due to its deliberate attacks on civilians in Vinnitsa, Kramatorsk, Kharkiv, Nikopol, Idlib just in the last week. City centers with no military targets, in some cases very far from the front - the intention is t

Let me fix that headline: Europe's lack of investment in sustainable energy and nuclear is raising electricity prices, compounded by the dependence on fossil fuels from terrorist states like Russia.

I've used both and will gladly recommend AWS over Azure: * Azure APIs, tools and services get deprecated often. As soon as 3rd party docs get good and the bad bugs get fixed it will get deprecated. AWS has its share of v2 APIs, but mos

Clojure has built-in macros and functions that allow you to do similar composition - without having to name arguments. One of them is to use the threading macros (-> value fun1 fun2), and another one is to use the comp function. Both wil

I think the article is a bit too dismissive of Real-Time Tactics; they are definitely a spin-off genre, and some like the Total War series have significant strategy elements - you have to grow your armies, not just lead them. I also like th

If I have to do one thing to monitor a simple website I'm probably going to use something that takes a screenshot periodically and checks it for changes. There are open source solutions but I just prefer to pay a bit for a managed serv

Exactly! Plus the majority of customers for Russias nuclear tech are not in the West - they are in places like Iran, Turkey, China and some smaller countries.

There is barely a speech by Putin and Lavrov where they don't literally say something like "beginning of a radical breakdown of the US-style world order. This is the beginning of the transition from liberal-globalist American egoc

Anti-nuclear sentiment (both environmentalist and anti-nuclear weapons) was generously sponsored by the Soviet Union. What a surprise than nowadays the same groups are serving the interests of Russia. The most cynical thing is that the bigg

This is a good move as some trucking is inevitable, especially on the small scale. Electric Freight rail is still much better for the environment and yet AFAIK that electrification is incomplete in much of the US. All trucks all ruin roads,

I meant names of projects that seem to have trouble with feature bloat and code churn, not people.

Good point! As for the churn tool, it was for the history of Clojure paper with a comparison to Scala: https://twitter.com/thesephist/status/1472644432621150220?la... I don't know if Scala or FastAPI suffer f

So what I notice is that there seems to be a spectrum between feature-conservative and feature-enthusiast open-source projects. RH doesn't name any names but there seem to be more feature-enthusiast projects out there. I wonder if some

Hmm AFAIK you don't need a bastion to use SSM agent - it even allows you access through the browser. I think you meant EC2 Instance Connect which manages temporary SSH keys.

It can help a bit, but fiscal policy is not sufficiently effective with a floating exchange rate, unless the economy is in a liquidity trap (which the USA just exited). The reason is when the rates are low, the removed government spending i
