Why a tech billionaire? We as humans just need to eat less animal food, and reduce our emissions as low as possible.

Most vegans I know see it as the right way to be in the world, not something that brings complexity or social pressure, so it ends up being no hassle at all.

Heroku does have autoscale capabilities based on avg response time. You set a min and max dyno count and off you go. It's as simple as it sounds but for run of the mill, follow-the-daytime apps it works.

Judging by the comments here it seems lots of people suffer from Stockholm syndrome - me included. I'm so used to SQL that it's hard to imagine something better. I wonder if we started from scratch today would we end up with somet

My opinion is that clojure has a confluence of just right abstractions and language choices that allows you to be very very succint while still very readable which in turn makes the language very expressive. I can name a few features: immut

Your comment misses alot of nuances about Clojure. Most Clojure devs I know were already senior devs in one or more languages, and were very capable of dealing with any missing "out of the box" functionality. Besides, by sitting o

It's easy to replace Slack the tech, it's hard to replace Slack the app that people are used to when they say they want a chat app for their company. It's like saying Windows is not difficult to replace. Technicaly true but p

It doesn't matter, it has become the reference already. You could say the same about Nike or BMW or Dropbox. The truth is that these brands enjoy a certain (literal) mindshare (through proper execution) that is hard to replace.

Can someone explain to me the basic tenets of Hinduism, and if it is related to Yoga? I have met so many yoga teachers that don't know how to answer this yet are free to speak about spiritual yoga stuff, so I remain confused.

If you said to me: you are gonna die and reborn, no guarantees about what your life will be in terms of health, education, personal wealth or personality traits, in which country do you want to be born? Most probably not the US for me.

Things get less interesting because you get detached from what people consider worldly pleasures. In Buddhism, happiness comes from cutting afflictions down through training and practice. If you find a good knowing teacher, they can guide y

I wonder how faster we would get those innovations if we were actively trying to invent them.

I have never used Rx libraries. What are the cases where you have low friction coroutines such as loom (no "coloured" functions afaik) where you want to use RxJava? Handling backpressure? Modelling complex flows? Honest question

I have been testing the OpenJDK builds, afaik it's usable. It's still in heavy development though

I admit the tone is heavy, which makes introspection (reflecting about self consumerist tendencies) unpleasant. But as I understand it, consumerism is a spectrum, just like veganism.

by mping 6y ago
One could read your reply as saying that people want to dodge responsibility, though. It's a double edged sword.

Hell, I just used loom last night on some pet projects. You can use it today if you dare.

Offshoring anything requires more efficiency from the start because a company's management problems will be amplified by offshoring. Of course if a company is remote first it will already be at advantage, but most companies I know are

Check Jacob Collier if you haven't already. He is really pushing it, he has a song where he changes the temperament during the song (sorry if this imprecise/wrong). He is kinda like a musical prodigy. Not my cup of tea but I do re

Clojure folks do that. Don't know about all of them, but lots of them do. You even have emacs cider shortcuts to run tests from a live repl.

Send me an email, I know a nice company that may be recruiting. Remote friendly.

I didn't understand your comment. What I meant is jhana is Pali, most Ch'an/Mahayana sources go back to sanskrit and thus spell it as dhyana. A Mahayana practitioner saying jhana is as odd as a Theravadin saying dhyana.

by mping 6y ago
Congrats! Did you do that on your own or with a teacher? I find it curious that you mix jhana which is normally from Theravada/mindful based techniques and concentration which is normally from Ch'an/Mahayana techniques.

Agreed, its not a vanilla SQLite but can give you a rough idea of the quality of SQLite codebase.
