Exactly my thought as well. It's following the hype that steered him wrong in the first place. Over time, I've found myself more interested in tech that sticks around. There's usually something to learn from it.

This comment reveals a view of REPL for non-image based languages. In clojure, we usually add forms (like functions) to the editor then eval them to update the namespace hosted by a separate REPL running in background. Often the file is alr

That's a fair point, and I think I agree. My stance was that 'cancel culture' as a term seems most often used to decry the use of the power of mob rule online. I think the criticism is fair, and we should be able to discuss t

For me the term seems useful. Cancel culture as a concept is less about the newness of ostracizing people and more about an awakening in the public about the power anonymous voices on the web can be in aggregate. We probably shouldn't

Using the word 'standard' was probably a mistake in my parent comment, I just parroted the terminology from the docs. Really what I mean by 'standard' in this context is a batteries-included experience for most day-to-da

Same here. I read this because the headline resonated --- nobody does care which programming language you use, they care about the results you provide for them. What I got was a story about first idolizing a stranger only to be disappointed

I've only dipped my toes in the water with Deno, but it solves a few pain points I've felt with Node. Direct deps via url vs npm as middleman, a standard library (thank goodness!), and single binary distribution. Types are great t

I've recently decided to learn c++. I've used Java for over a decade and have had felt little reason to learn c++ until now. What changed? There is code I need to do maintain in c++. If I don't do it, it might not happen. Sou

I see Jetbrains' role first as a curator of a near flawless collection of plugins for a given purpose. I'm not surprised the set of plugins is different for each use case. I don't need a Java IDE with CMake plugins, so I don&

In group A there are engineers that just want to turn the crank on scoped work. In group B there are engineers that want to be in the business problem solving loop and have autonomy to solve problems as they see fit. Group A and B aren&#x27

If history serves as an example, embarrassment doesn't necessarily spur improvement. It could instead convince them it isn't a core offering, resulting in the decision to shut it down.

1. Not every function invocation is a callback. 2. A JS library that changes function arity as if it doesn't break API isn't being responsible. 3. This sort of paranoia defensiveness in API usage is a direct result of language (

Totally reasonable argument, and I think most would be better off with an independent, US-based foundry. Unfortunately, I doubt that the US government functions well enough at this point to recognize the threat and overcome the influence In

With an added caveat that this is an indirect path to that knowledge, but perhaps a more job-compatible one.

I really enjoyed reading 'The Little Schemer' book. It teaches the Scheme language, which is a Lisp-1. It was entertaining due to the novelty of its format.

It forces you to organize your thoughts. It's possible to code without really thinking, and naming things in that state of mind is difficult.

Kotlin and Scala are closer to Java, so it makes sense it would be an easier sell to Java shops. I don't use Clojure professionally, and have often wondered how well it holds up in companies where avg tenure of an engineer is 2-3 years

If you're into this sort of thing and like print books, "Hacker's Delight" by Henry S. Warren, Jr. is great.

Since we're sharing our personal feelings: I agree that in general, waving your personal politics around for petty matters is not a good look. He's not waving his around for petty reasons.

Your list is on point. I'll admit that I haven't any experience with other brands, but the Bose QC35 IIs changed my work life (especially when I as working in the office). I really should upgrade my chair and desk.

I owned development of a JNLP app around a decade ago. JNLP did a good job of solving the app distribution/update problem, but required that you already had the JRE installed. Not too much different from assuming a browser is installed

It makes sense in our system because it allows individuals to vote for the candidate they like the most rather than against the one they dislike the most. Unfortunately, RCV only fixes that assuming that you have more than two candidates on

I think it would be hard to communicate nuance concisely with such a small vocabulary.

I think it's hard not to like the HTTPie interface if you give it a bit of time. The design is brilliant.

I gave Hyper-V way too much of my time last tried setting up a development environment on windows (around September 2018). The Hyper-V tooling just isn't good enough for the developer use case compared to Virtualbox and VMWare, and onc
