You also have the monitor set up so that it's hanging over you somewhat? When you rest the laptop on your chest, do you use the laptop display? Isn't that a weird position to type? What do you mean suspend the keyboard in front of

I'm also a big fan of working while reclined. I am less fancy, and probably less ergonomic about it. I will sit on a recliner couch, or in the warm season I also sit on a zero gravity chair[0] outside, on my deck, in the shade. In both

Something sounds wrong, but I don't know exactly what you mean by "basic template"? Like a Spring boot example app?

People are talking about REPL development, and they are right, but one of the best things that you can do with CL that you can't do with other REPLs, such as Clojure, is... at least using Slime in Emacs, probably other editors too... w

No it's not a degradation. It puts Ctrl in a sane place much easier to reach with your pinky. And if you really were going to use your thumb on the left control, then it's about the same distance to the Caps Lock key. I'm rep

Is there anything in the article or the supposed architecture that leads you to believe it is inefficient? Might we suspect that using multi-tenant cloud resources may take advantage of economies of scale and be quite efficient?

Spring Data JDBC is, by default I believe, backed by a full on ORM, that being Hibernate. I'm open to different opinions on this, but I dislike Hibernate because of the complexity and the pains it causes when trying to do simple things

Thanks for sharing. I may do this if I ever decide to do some 'notebook' style work. Oz mentions integrating with jupyter and whatever else, but I love org-mode and wouldn't really want to start using a tool other than Emacs

Anyone have experience with both MatPlotLib and Vega / Vega-lite? I like working in Clojure and am just about to do a bunch of data-viz. I've only done a simple line chart so far, and I used this oz library for interfacing with Cl

Wow this one has quite the vocabulary! Right in the first pages we have "hosting provider", "environment", "OS", "Web Server", etc.

I actually felt like I learned a lot this way, although I had access to a highly competent person who knew nearly everything about the code base, and I would discuss with him like 4-5 times a day sometimes. It felt like close collaboration,

I have to disagree that macOS has a good GUI. I have used Ubuntu with KDE Plasma (Ubuntu) extensively in the past, but when I started a new job a year ago I was supplied a 2019 MBP. This year has been my first Mac experience. I find a lot o
