Is it crazy to imagine this is the “tit” for the “tat” of bailing out SVB?

How would you say that both statements can’t be true at the same time?

It’s pretty close to a 1:1 copy of it, yes. I was very surprised by how much they took from it, instead of attempting to reinvent the concept. But it’s Microsoft what can you expect.

I’ve never been the same after my company’s marketing department gave a presentation in which they, very matter of fact, boasted about how they wrote fluff pieces that got published on respectable publications under a journalist’s name with

Posting a comment without reading the entire article more or less sums up why I think HN comments aren’t worth reading.

Yes, the Rails console runs pry. It is indeed very powerful. My only gripe with it is that when you modify your code, you have to run ‘reload!’ and wait for the entire shebang to rebuild itself. This is opposed to Lisp REPLs where you can s

The Rails console is somewhat clunky but manages to deliver most of the value of a Lisp/Smalltalk REPL.

Are people outside the org even meant to see the page? That is odd.

If the author is to be believed, all you need to do is wait 5 to 10 years. Try to join a local hackerspace in the meantime.

What I'm really waiting for is foldable monitors that stow easily, something like the Zenbook 17 Fold, sans computer. The utility of a nonmobile monitor that bends slightly is pretty questionable in my opinion.

There is also Ionic if you need an extra push on what the Web APIs can do.

It's a satirical piece, you are allowed to not like it but you don't have to peer review it.

The CLOG approach is not that novel. It's the same tech that Laravel Livewire, Rails Hotwire and Phoenix Liveview are pioneering. I mentioned GTK because your original comment hadn't mentioned you needed browser-native functionali

For me at least installing Leiningen was pretty straightforward. Just download the executable and it sets itself up. Setting up SBCL and Quicklisp was harder but not by a lot. What problems did you encounter setting up Clojure?

I'm about a third of the way into Clojure for the Brave and True. Highly recommend for starting out from zero. You can read it for free at https://www.braveclojure.com/clojure-for-the-brave-and-true/

I don't have a good source for this but supposedly Brendan Eich wanted to embed Scheme into Netscape, what a world that would have been.

That too, but mainly how ridiculous corporate efforts to "reward" their workers look.

This is a very interesting idea. My criticism would be that our memories are such imperfect recollections of the real thing that its hard for me not to see them as a "copy" rather than a "pointer". Signal loss through th

Thank you for the tips! SOLID has indeed been an excellent tool in dealing with this. Unfortunately, there are a few issues at my current day job that make even your principles a band aid. 1) We have a "project board" composed of

This is a big issue when the org you are at doesn't give you space to refactor and rework your system. Because the value added of refactoring is opaque to business goals (why are you spending time on something that was already working

I'm following the Common Lisp tutorial that was posted here on HN a little while ago, and the section where it goes over the little loop DSL made me take a step back and reconsider! It's pretty wild. I'm definitely starting t
