Yeah, when I had to stop dancing--an activity that gives me a flow experience every day--for weeks because of a twisted foot tendon, I became a mess of anxiety, and even resorting to singing sessions wouldn't quite give me my "fix

I had thought about something similar for prose--when I'm writing I often get sentences or even paragraphs in my head ahead of time, so I want to have some easy 'capture blobs and arrange later' editor interface at some point

Thanks, I love to read about other people's workflows, especially when it's about something I also do. Can I get in touch with you once I have that shell script? It's very relevant functionality for something I'm working

I've begun doing that too and second integration with git. I wonder though, why don't you embed your journal within the git log? Relevant commits of mine accompany a journal entry that goes after the empty line in the commit messa

The amount of real state that Google ads seem to take these days is offensive, it's all ads above the fold and then some, on not-too-high resolutions. Google Search is due for replacement.

For Amazon I guess it would be trivial to choose based on what you tend to buy.

Wow, cool! Do you plan on making its guts available as a lib to be used under other frontends? I have a ClojureScript ncurses framework and would like to attempt a terminal editor, https://github.com/goldfeld/i9n

The reality is that most progress sits on the recklessness (or even callousness) of those willing to achieve it, and then carries over in the ensuing generations and we take all progress for granted as as inherently good. Probably the Chine

It's a growing problem, yes, but I see it as a different problem. Social media is by definition people. It's a culture/education problem, because people would spread it on messaging apps (like whatsapp) or even mouth to mouth

This is about webpage searches, there's still all of social media for spreading word about public service information. Whereas, if a person is wrongly charged with a crime, should they not at least have a right to not show up in web pa

I guess it's really saying "clojure doesn't fare as well in Java shops", which I see as a feature.

Owning your own car will go the way of owning your own boat or horse. Expensive and mostly for sport.

A terminal app in Clojure runs on the JVM, so it doesn't boot up as fast as ClojureScript on Node.js. It's most important for quick utilities or things that may be used in a pipe, but then if vim always took a full second to start

Your API opens up a lot of possibilities in my head too. Thanks for bestowing it upon the node community! The library I posted is a foundation layer on which I'm building a web browser for the terminal, but it's more in the style

Blessed makes sexy terminal apps easy. But of course I wanted more, like making terminal apps in the React (functional reactive) model[1], using ClojureScript (running on nodejs). And then at some point cross-compile simple text-based inter

So can someone summarize the ordeal?

Just like a retailer sprang up and took Amazon's lead in the ecommerce business, right? Right? Some corporations become too big to fail, like Google or Facebook--they keep buying off other companies and buying laws too. America is a lo

Nobody is forcing anybody in the strict sense, yes. If you ignore the network effect, even more so. How can I connect with friends without Facebook when everyone else is on there (there or on instagram and whatsapp, also FB property). How c

I don't like to let the "free market" (that is, big investor money) provide for a basic need such as transportation. See my other comment regarding "monopoly".

by goldfeld 11y ago
I think of it as being monopolizing by virtue of being a startup with network effect and economies of scale. It's a winner take all market, like Google and Facebook do monopolize most of the world's communication and browsing. May

"Uber is so obviously a good thing (for the broken US system as well as for the US startup scene, the industry with which I line my pockets)". His statement reads like a joke to me, a parody of himself. Uber might offer a better s

I think especially because us programmers can get high salaries early on, divorced from both having to save and from the experience of handling money well, we can fall hard. I also speak from personal experience :)/:(

I think it's even more than necessarily being tired: people who struggle to get by are in a constant state of alert and stress that precludes developing their creative dreams (they will have them, but can't advance on them). When

The real reason Communism couldn't succeed (not necessarily the reason it failed) is because none of the countries trying it were or are advanced capitalistic economies before the revolution. Imagine a transition into communism in a le

Dive in! It's like beginning ballet over twenty: you'd really have to trust your slow, consistent, building momentum to eventually get you there. Learning Clojure up to getting remotely competent with it did take me a year and a h

Sorry, I'm no troll on most days. I agree with you on Jesus, but mainstream christianity was already so far removed from his teaching just a few centuries after his death. I could be interpreted to have said "those christians with

When bigots run the place and "community" more often than not stands for segregative christian values, they really don't.
