Fwiw I don’t think it’s purely good, I both judge and applaud the article, hence the “zen” language. I think it’s good to criticize the hypocrisy. But also much better that the article exists than not. You’d see basically no journalism if j

We homeschool our kids in part because we encountered a homeschool community in Brooklyn that blew apart our preconceptions of homeschooling. What I had thought was mostly a tool for highly religious parents has become intellectually divers

I get these kinds of questions too and while I can’t speak for the person you’re replying to (my kids are younger) it’s the second answer. Kids naturally have a ton of intellectual curiosity which the school system. I do think there needs t

I have adopted a zen posture to this sort of hypocrisy which involves believing both these things: 1. It is good to call out hypocrisy like this article does where a publishing entity is engaged in behavior completely contrary to the behavi

It’s “not decentralized” and also it’s used to move “billions in crime money around.” Hmm. It’s a fraudulent “con” and also very dangerous because it subverts regulations. Hmm. Seems pretty contradictory, no? You can either criticize bitcoi

This article is a good platform for a series of solid specific observations. I particularly liked this one toward the end: “ It could mean compressing the time teenagers have to sort out their hierarchies and pillory outsiders, by turning s

After my J&J shot, for weeks, my legs and feet would frequently feel “asleep.” Especially on waking but often during the day as well. The effect seems to have diminished (and I think mostly resolved) ~6 weeks later. No idea if it’s rela

Famed Finnish filmmaker Aki Kaurismaki shot “La Vie Boheme” in Paris using mostly Finnish actors (but in French). He wanted to shoot a scene in a Paris metro station but the costs were exorbitant. (As the linked article says, this facility

I don’t know about any of this drama but that post is unreadable. What is it actually saying? It spends like half the time talking about prior versions of itself with long detailed explanations of why it changed.

Looks cool. Please add an RSS feed to your blog, oxide. So people can keep up. The rss logo is not a link (at least on mobile) and there is no auto discovery tag (that my reader can find). Also your site badly crashes Brave iOS browser fwiw

Yes, I came from python and ruby and that book helped me a lot. You can read or free on the website, I also bought the Apple Books version. I’d second the person who suggested watching some Rich Hickey talks on YouTube, or at least trying o

Well yes hence the “/pedantic” tag. I was quibbling with someone who went out of their way to “correct” a true fact. Quibbling with quibbling if you will. Sort of like you’re doing. But hey they started it ;)

For sure, but “Clojure doesn't provide built-in function for exponential operation” is still an objectively true assertion. If your point is that it’s wrong in spirit, I totally agree, and I think this is yet another example of the lim

“Math” here is short for “java.lang.Math” though. Technically that’s interop rather than Clojure per se. /pedantic

Learning a new language by mapping constructs from another language you know better is certainly expedient. But the trade off is you short change yourself on learning core philosophical beliefs underpinning the design of the language. Under

Not true, the eBay analogy is pretty flawed. Unlike with eBay this isn’t a matter of simply shifting classification of revenue - the app store is guaranteed to be the most convenient and obvious way to charge for any given app or service r

Thank you for these comments they are super interesting to me as a relatively new Clojure programmer. Can I ask two related questions - 1. Reading between the lines it sounds like the mutability issue arises from interop, both in the core c

What you said is true and perceptive — it is at base like writing the AST - but most of the time you’re just doing function calls with the opening paren shifted to the other side of the function name. In other words, in Algol like languages

Honestly, what do we need POSIX for in 2020? As discussed in the talk, it traces to the age of the Unix wars, when there was a panoply of processors and Unix variants. POSIX is great if you’re concerned with recompiling some C so it works o

Wouldn’t have to be systemd, macOS has launchd for init, FreeBSD could come up with its own thing. This is a good talk I saw recently (by a FreeBSD contributor) on why these sorts of systems have become more common, and why they seem so swe

One key impetus for Linux moving to systemd was faster boot time, parallelizing init tasks. Is FreeBSD looking at moving beyond traditional rc script boot?

People are raising some good concrete objections but I wonder if there isn’t the kernel of a good idea here. Maybe GitHub should be offering additional services to better help pipe projects into all kinds of app distribution mechanisms. A
