"Reitit is a fast data-driven router for Clojure(Script)." "Fast" is good. "Clojure(Script)" lets me know I can use it on the browser side. "Data-driven" is useless, it is not telling me anything in a

I think you misunderstand what "smart" means. More likely what you think by "smart" is actually "smart, knowledgeable and wise". Smart is a capacity to notice and understand new things. It does not mean the per

I learned this this year when I started from zero to about 40 species of plants. Most of them are either succulents or semi-succulents (like peperomias). It took me some time to really understand how little water they need. Now most my succ

Part of this is that when Lisps started ALL other languages were very low level and the hardware that the Lisps were running on did not afford to waste any memory or cycles. So efficiency was an important consideration right from the star

How much of the paper that is being produced today do you think will survive 200 years? Let's be realistic about it. If paper/wood was meant to provide any dent in atmospheric CO2 we would have to be drowning in it. Remember, it

At least here in Europe most wood that is being used is farmed. Paper and wood are not good long term carbon stores. All paper and wood will release its carbon back at some point, so they are only temporary stores. Good long term store woul

I am sure, 5us was measured on the switch, not on the server. 5us is actually quite slow. This is from 2014, around the time I worked on this project: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17256040/how-fast-is-sta...

I would say in case of influenza, close to extinction is not close enough and is probably even nothing to cheer about. What I mean is as soon as restrictions are lifted we are going to see a huge correction for influenza cases with populati

But the explanation just does not satisfy me. I mean, world building is an expensive but actually pretty simple, predictable operation. If they want to see how it performs on slower computer they don't need to get telemetry, just actua

Yep. Developer managers tend to pull the team with their development ability (because they have presumably been good at it before they got promoted) at the cost of management practice and focus on the team. This means you are in a fundament

Per my understanding this has nothing to do with actual security. I think nobody steals smartphones anymore for the smartphone itself. Mainly because they are either getting locked or are easily tracked. That is poor business. What is happe

Moreover, whoever grabs power in future will be able to do the same by argumenting that this has been done before and their opponents said it is right back then.

This is false argument. Ability to work with companies is no longer an option if you want any message through. If you can't post on any social media you are as good as being completely censored.

It is true and it actually aids modularization. Teams have natural tendency to produce separate modules from other teams so that they can manage their development process more effectively. Then you can consider individual team members worki

The best way to deal with the problem is still tried and true modularization. Also it helps to merge/deploy frequently. If you have multiple people editing same code it is bound to cause some problems. The best way is to not have multi

That is pretty obvious. The main reason is that what we would really want is measure coverage of the specification of the unit. Now, that would be difficult, so we measure something else with obvious poor result.
