Sure, you can argue it’s hyperbole. But if you’re trying to make the point that someone else is sloppy with the facts, it may undermine that for you to make a literally false statement, even if it’s hyperbole. Hyperbole can be hard to detec

Strong agree. “Lobbyist” has a precise legal meaning and they are required to register with the House and Senate if they are a federal lobbyist and each state has its own registration process if they are lobbyists at that level. It does not

> Be careful with anyone with a take that says some technology is 100% bad always. This isn’t that though; the first sentence starts “GraphQL is great, but” and then the post lists first “the good” and then “the bad.” Even the provocativ

The context (per my limited understanding) is that Leiningen, the older and still quite popular way of scaffolding and packaging Clojure projects, is easy to use but not simple; if you want it to do something a little different, it’s tricky

Ya I hear you and agree with most all of this. I did choose Clojure in part because it had Java interop so on some level I knew I’d need to learn a bunch of Java and APIs to take advantage of that. I think it’s a great design decision but a

Thanks, I’ll check out the raw java-time next time I have a minute. You’re right about needing to learn some of the host in a hosted language. I’ve enjoyed for example Jsoup and I use some of the Math stuff inline with no issue. Even with t

A good wrapper (like the Clojure version of java-time) can be a real lifesaver for those of us without Java backgrounds who don’t like having to learn deep and often baroque Java apis. I also use a pretty half baked wrapper someone wrote be

Perhaps you can explain then how Lyra McKee (who worked for TechMeme) was murdered in plain view on a public street in Derry by the “New IRA” or why police say the murder weapon was used in four other paramilitary attacks. She was not an “i

I find it extremely funny that programmers are upset that their own work is being used as fuel for the same kind of software exploitation that they have, as a group, gleefully and with little regard for the moral rights of creators inflicte

Can someone smarter than me explain what it means to be a “purely functional” package manager? Because it’s confusing to use the term this way. In programming “purely functional” means no side effects; writing files to disk and mutating the
