Last week I decided I wanted to _relearn_ logic, and actually found this as well. I studied some Philosophical and Mathematical logic back in school, and kind of miss it. I also found https://openlogicproject.org/ which is

Not OP, but we're currently using Pedestal to serve Lacinia (graphql). Previously I've used compojure and all that. I've only done the data/backend stuff, so I've personally never seriously used cljs, and my compani

Been trying to work through interpreters/compilers/PL with the idea that it will help me solve many different problems. I thought it would go quicker but it's taken some time to let the ideas sink in.

Yes, it's what first got me into programming. Back in the early 2000s I saw videos like this, got myself flash, and made animations myself. I used to hang out in forums where people would make stick figure animations. We all had drea

Used to love my moka pot but got rid of it. This post inspired me to get another one. Any recommendations for fair trade coffee? I usually drink equal exchange, but it's not the best coffee.

Wish I started out with Emacs, but after 10 years of curating my vimrc, I don't have time to replace all my custom plugins/bindings by figuring out elisp. I liked Doom as a vanilla editor, but I went back to vim. For what it'

Take an interview now and see what questions they ask you so you know how better to prepare in those 3 months. If you know closures and generators you're probably already fine to work it's just passing an interview. Maybe you&#x

Was in a rough spot a year ago so I took 3 months off. Found myself with a better company, less stress, and more interesting work. We're pretty lucky a lot of us are able to do that.

Glad to see Slitaz still alive and going well. I first used it probably in 2010, and I really liked how different it was from other distros at the time.

Possibly. It's not a space I want to be, but there's a lot of tempting aspects. New niche languages (Haskell, Rust, etc), language writing and design. So I'm sure some of the positions are fun.

Leibniz is definitely an interesting person. I studied about him in philosophy, but in grad school I focused more on his contribution to the ideas of computers. Leibniz and Pascal is a good starting point in history.

Having never used Common Lisp, it's one of the languages I wish I've used for a long time. However, working with Clojure and Scheme, I understand the power of repl driven development that is difficult to explain outside the experi

Companies probably aren't even looking at your projects, but I'd keep it simple if all you wanted to do was build projects for a portfolio. Simple website with login + database. If you're not getting a call back for intervie

I've noticed that the language inspires how people write code, and the community. Sure you can write functionally in Python with generators, first class and higher order functions, but its not really how the community writes (all the t

Love oat milk, specifically Silk's Oat Yeah! I think it's a good replacement. Since I eat a lot of _replacement_ foods, you kind of learn that you don't need that 100% to appreciate it for what it is. It's all learned

Since NY doesn't have plastic bags for most shopping anymore, you see a lot more men carrying bags for shopping. Fwiw, I throw a canvas bag in my pocket when I'm going to shop somewhere. And a lot of people carry backpacks anyway

I think this was the first Will Byrd video I saw, and what got me interested in Scheme, and PL. He has some great tutorials on Youtube too. I still haven't dived too much into miniKanren, but it's on the list with the Reasoned Sch

Yeah and a sm58 isn't that expensive, I just bought a mic to have one. When I start recording out an amp I'll probably get a 57.

I picked up a GLS es58 on Amazon a while back because I got an audio interface and figured might as well get a mic. Chose it because it's a shure 58 clone. It's made quite a difference and importantly it makes you feel better to
