This rant has hardly anything to do with the linked announcement, except that it starts with (paraphrasing) 'I once tried using REBL in an unsupported way and gave up after some hours' The criticisms have been adressed or discusse

The 2012 section seems not correct. In the time between 2012 and 2020 I deployed Datomic in various non AWS environments. Datomic was never particularly tied to AWS. I think your timeline also misses Datomic Cloud, which was an AWS exclu

As someone who is using Datomic Pro in production for many years now I must agree with you. One time I began a project with Datomic Cloud and it was a disaster similar to what you described. I learned a lot about AWS, but after about half

If LLM would write code faster or better than me, I would use LLM. But LLM comes up with perverse algorithms that I need to understand, debug and fix. Sorry, not there yet. By far not.

I guess its one of those fake Ethereum chains where instead of miners Coinbase will just sign or censor all the blocks?

This day I asked it not too fundamental questions about Clojure and it was able to provide impressive, accurate answers and provide correct code examples. However if you continue the dialogue and ask it to do more advanced stuff, it will j

Using Java from Clojure is totally idiomatic. Its very easy to abstract away the ugly interop in one place.

The answer is more like "your problem is a feature, you just don't see it yet". Many things are very different in Clojure and can quickly lead to misjudgement like " leaky abstraction" instead of "seamlessly i

1) There are enough templates and starter packs with documentation. Frameworks have been tried, but they quickly turn out to limit your Clojure given powers. 2) Thats true, but its not leaky abstraction. Clojure never claims to abstract t

Wrong. It flooded the network with vacationers who normally could not afford travelling at all, while workers had to resort to their cars again to reach their jobs in time. Counting everyone who "would not have travelled by train"

Yes, they are doing that. Had the same experience and several of my friends also.

Cryptocurrencies do generate rent. You can lend them and collect interest on it. Houses don't grow in value because they generate rent - they are deteriorated by residents and need permanent investment in repairs to hold their value.

What you describe is not special to crypto. Every currency exchange is "always winning". The rest is not very logical.

Since June, the German government allows even police to secretly spy on Germans "preventively", i. e. without suspicion or proof of crime or future crime and without decision by court of law, by installing trojans on their phones

While tools can save us from stupid mistakes, some mistakes are so stupid that relying on tools to prevent them seems much more dangerous even. Log4j should not have been used by anyone, and certainly it should not have been extended and &q

I'm using mailu.io with docker and haven't had any trouble for two years now. Cost me 1-2d in total.

Or just looking at death numbers.

Its just incredible how bloated Log4J is. You'd think a logging library would be rather lightweight, straightforward to configure, no? No, it is one of those efforts that suffer from their underlying problem being so well understood th

They can't do a man in the middle attack because the transaction is already signed with your private key and they don't have that.

And like with files, you are also free to read chapters of a book in any order. But files have little to do with lines, no? Of course a function definition in every sane language is continuous text, even though you "are free" to

Is it just me or is $50k USD a terrible offer for an exploit like this one. Usually, if you successfully exploit a smart contract or DAO, you make multiple 100k sometimes even millions for disclosing.

Why does code have to be "read like a book" to be considered "continuous text"? Of course code is continuous text.

The positive test has to be made in Germany and in most counties of Germany you need a doctor that confirms by signature that you went into quarantine, also in Germany.

Germany makes it deliberately hard (in many cases impossible) to prove that.
