no matter how skeptical you are of cryptocurrencies, they are no small thing and bitcoin is by far the largest. CSW is being sued for billions of dollars^, so that's also not a small thing. i don't understand, why be dismissive o

On the other hand - why would you build a language where commas aren’t treated as whitespace?

Or maybe it’s only you who considers it clickbait and everybody else immediately understood the article was about recorded history of temperatures, because, you know, it’s kinda common sense?

So what happens to old iPhones? Hard to believe they are all in a dump somewhere.

Not that high apparently, as there is no conclusive evidence for it.

I’m sure that’s true.. for some definitions of “enjoy” that involve no pleasure or happiness :)

Largest cost of JavaScript is having to write JavaScript. It’s insane anybody would willingly do that nowadays. I think literally everybody writing JavaScript secretly wishes they were using some other language with JS transpiler. I refuse

Ugh.. does anybody else have this feeling that no matter how fast JavaScript gets, average web app performance will not change at all? Kind of like with risk compensation principle - the safer your gear, the more risks you take on, we’re in

our emotional response to seeing two wolves is probably about twice that of seeing one wolf. but response to seeing 100 wolves and 200 wolves is probably about the same. point being - there's plenty of logarithmic thinking in our brai

Why will BTC price crash? People holding USDT will want to sell USDT possibly at discount. You can sell USDT for either USD or BTC. That will only create buying pressure for BTC, pushing it up.

You’d be surprised. But also unfamiliarity in general is a hurdle. Clojure is unfamiliar in a multitude of ways and it takes some effort to realize how all these things Clojure is different in actually have great synergies.

Clojure's immutable data structures (lists, vectors, maps and sets) are actually not copy on write, they're based on red-black trees such that when you "mutate" the value, a new one is created that shares everything b

type hints got good, editors and typecheckers didn't really :) personally i like these dispatches more than giant if/switch statements for no reason other than better separation and management of logic. as for debugging - stepping

well technically, if you type-annotate the dict you should be fine: dispatch: Mapping[str, Callable[arg_types, ret_type]] = {}

Hi Craig, will you finally sign a message with satoshi’s key to make all the haters shut up?

Right, but is utilitarianism not senseless? Maximum happiness for majority of population is free heroin distributed and administered by state.

what is your point? you do realize that there exists a scenario where you wouldn't be able to go to the city and get your PC fixed? so is your recommendation then to build a factory where any PC component can be produced on demand with

Right, but I could also throw away 100% of my JavaScript and not have to deal with any of the nodejs/npm/webpack/whatever nonsense if I used Clojure.
