You're right, but that doesn't seem to be GP's core point.

The new dict does not come with a performance hit, let alone a significant one. It’s much more memory efficient and generally slightly faster.

Why use two languages with similar semantics when you can use one with nearly identical semantics? It might make sense for Emacs Lisp because there are things you’d do differently in a modern Lisp (Guile Emacs sounds great to me), but Cloju

Nylas is a Latacora client. I think they’re a great place to work overall, but I can tell you a bunch about the prodsec role. Contact info in profile. Email and contacts integration is either table stakes or a superpower for a giant number

... Good thing that I said "but 99% of the stuff you will actually use works totally fine in Calva" which is a lot closer to your first example than the second? Given that I explicitly acknowledge the feature gap?

Nope. It's because protobufs can't differentiate between nil/unset and a zero value in this field: https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/blob/53f15caf73b9285d6043009...

That's not one of the features GP enumerated, but, yes, there are lots of flavors of accomplishing that while using CIDER. The two most common ways I've seen people accomplish something like that is probably Clojure's builtin

by lvh 7y ago
TL;DR: absolutely yes it's competitive with CIDER; there may be experiments in the CIDER ecosystem that you won't get with Calva but 99% of the stuff you will actually use works totally fine in Calva and if you like VS Code you sh

Not trying to convince anyone, but if someone is already using Clojure with Emacs (which the annual survey seems to suggest is the most common case): those are all features you get with CIDER + clj-refactor as well. If you use spacemacs, I

This looks super cool! I'd love a pitch for when you use a terminal clj repl versus your development environment. For years using Python I was constantly experimenting in a terminal REPL, but now with CIDER (or other IDEs--I just happe

No worries, you're fine, just trying to clear up the confusion. I've heard both terms used interchangeably depending on context. _Usually_ as an administrator you care about what's in the tunnel, but _usually_ as a designer y

OK? The Internet does not use OSI, but it sure was helpful just now as an educational tool for describing that "what layer a VPN operates on" can be confusing. Even if you don't literally use OSI layers, knowing that UDP buil

Most of the userspace high-performance networking stuff is still pretty exotic. It requires plenty of tuning, specific network hardware, and sometimes extreme conditions, to be viable. DPDK does not work on the wireless connection I'm

The tunnel does not have to encapsulate messages at the same layer as the tunnel itself. Consider this thought experiment: if you send Ethernet frames over WebSockets, what layer is the protocol? My understanding is the Wireguard messages a

That sounds like a long-winded way of saying "x86_64 and the JVM are different but neither prevents TCO", which is precisely my point! Unless your point is "it's not TCO unless it's literally an instruction called &

WAL mode means readers do not block writers and a writer does not block readers. If it locked the entire database you likely weren’t using WAL.

Sure, I agree it’s subtle. But it is: a) much higher resolution b) potentially to a specific third party who may not have access to cell network data. Like, say, an angry ex-spouse.

Not GP: but I assume the answer is "because GPS is in the modem, the closed source untrusted part could still be actively disclosing your location".

There are two reasons for wanting an open source phone: safety and hackability. Yes, the actual modem part isn't hackable, but they did do a good job (as do iPhones!) of segregating the closed source part so at least you don't hav

As I stated in my original comment: sure, if you arbitrarily redefine what terms mean, HTTPS doesn’t provide authenticity or non-repudiation.

This site also invites me to run a pile of code shipped from it: http://www.kermitproject.org/ckscripts.html -- so yes, it matters that I'm actually talking to kermitproject, and they should go get a LE cert.

How does it solve the privacy aspect if I can MITM it and replay the second half of the conversation to the real party?
354.
by lvh 7y ago
Non-repudiation and authenticity are terms of art. By redefining them well outside of what everyone else means by those terms, I don't think you're helping discourse along. HTTPS _absolutely_ guarantees non-repudiation and authent

You're explaining TCO. I understand how TCO works. I'm going to rephrase my own argument because it doesn't appear you interacted with it: what part of your argument doesn't work for x86_64? "One would need to compi

It seems bananas to me that Mathematica and other existing CASes can't solve that first sample equation: it reads like a straightforward integration, taking just a parameter substitution and an inverse trig derivative (which I feel lik

I agree that's an optimization and an important litmus test, but calling any TCO that doesn't also handle mutual recursion (but does naive fib just fine) not "real" feels like a stretch. At least we agree on the facts: i

I don't see why the compiler couldn't be aware of the function it's compiling and special-cases that tail recursion; that's what every other compiler does.
