PS I agree atoms and stm are both solid though — and that you can go a very long way without touching either!

That’s incorrect. Only refs+dosync use stm. https://clojure.org/reference/refs Not atoms. From Hickey’s History of Clojure paper: “ Taking on the design and implementation of an STM was a lot to add atop designing a pr

My impression at least watching chatter over the last several years isn’t that it has a bad reputation but rather that people haven’t found a need for it, atoms are good enough for vast bulk of shared mutable state. Heck even Datomic, an ac

Hey I’m really sorry for your loss. And sorry he didn’t find that connection. Do you think a different city would have been better for him? I only visited Seattle once and I know this is a cliched thought but I do wonder if the weather and

There's a spectrum of FP languages with Haskell near the "pure" end where it truly becomes a pain to do things like io and Clojure at the more pragmatic end where not only is it accepted that you'll need to do non functi

This essay seems to be built on a flawed analogy. Clayton Christensen’s model of disruption (or models, counting his low end version) involves innovation by both the incumbent and disruptor. The disruptor’s innovation is immediately appeali

I don’t dispute that there is a lot of BS taught in business school and shoveled in economics. But the MBA pipeline is distinct from the actual financial services industry. There is a lot of basic lifting and moving in financial service tha

Define your terms - what theory are you talking about? You said most financial services and economics is useless but seem to be taking about a specific part of that world. Portfolio theory? Seriously? You’re clearly thinking that consumer r

No, “modern” does not mean “in the last 30 years,” but credit cards have evolved extensively in that time. Without contemporary (vs modern ) credit cards you don’t have airbnb, you don’t have online airline booking, you are not putting thin

I’m a Jack Bogle diehard index investor, but the idea that most economics and finance is BS strikes me as deeply incorrect. Not everything is long term retirement investing. Most car and home owners in this country would be SOL without mode

This is really bad. DBs other than sqlite need their own dedicated servers, it says. A good way to store online chats is db-per-chat, it says. Sqlite scales great with [fusilade of very specific proprietary cloud services], it says. Sqlite

And it crashes constantly. Lots of other bugs that you start noticing when doing deeper things. I tried it for about six months. Just not a reliable or serious browser although very fast when it actually works.

If Apple charges extortionately through the nose for storage hardware, that just makes this tool more valuable.

Instead of migrating from server to server — and remaining on computers I don’t own - I download locally which it looks this tool doesn’t do. I use mbsync/isync which is fast and reliable. https://isync.sourceforge.io/

Honestly this is why I'm intrigued by Fedora Server, which at first I took to be some kind of sick joke, but now I see from using regular Fedora long enough that it's good to be in regular practice of handling upgrades. Like you s

Not “like any city,” that’s the point. Other cities do have areas like that and still manage to have a fraction of the homicides of Detroit. “It’s a revival!” “Isnt crime still super high?” “It’s a revival in the nice neighborhoods!”

Actually ubiquiti doesn’t have any more to sell and the product is being bid up past 2x on Amazon. I guess we’ll find out if the line has a future soon.

I looked into Amplifi based on your comment and it looks like they haven’t updated the line since 2022 and people are speculating they may exit the home market. Did you worry about this?

Detroit’s homicide rate as of January is about 4x the national average, 31.9 per 100k vs 7.4 nationally. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/detroit-city/20...

I think this was super interesting, it sounds like he’s leaning more into “open” than openai is. “In disruptive tech, closed-source moats are fleeting. Even OpenAI’s closed-source model can’t prevent others from catching up. “Therefore, our
