I am pretty sure Clojure is "stable" so nothing changed in the past year.

This reminds me of a funny story. I am using a service called Invoicely for recurring invoices in my small business. One day I randomly googled for some of its features and found a post of a guy who claimed (and I believe him) that Invoicel

Isn’t the second amendment about exactly that?

There’s also the reverse notion of that: “Thank you for buying what I made, I hope it’s really useful, but I am going to keep it away from you unless you pay me forever”.

I remember in one of his interviews, Rich Hickey mentioned that STM isn’t in the language to be used all over the place, it’s there to make some very rarely used things possible, which otherwise would not be possible at all. Which is a very

I always had issues with gastroscopy (I guess mostly panic and uncontrollable reflexes), but recently I discovered that there’s an option to do it through nose instead of mouth (of course, with a thinner tube) — highly recommend it for peop

Wasn’t 2008 crisis due to excessive risk-taking by government-backed banks? I doubt it is an “instruction” on markets efficiency — yes, if a government puts a lot of tax and newly-printed money in ponzi-schemes, bad things will happen.

Do you know if AirPods Pro could be used as hearing aids? I know nothing about hearing disabilities, but this sounds like a good idea.

Hey, there are iPhone users not only in US, but also in countries with cheap data plans!

From my experience, implementation of time zone conversions is too often wrong. I work with many time zones, and strongly prefer either GMT+0 or “x hours ago”.

JavaScript is not untyped, it’s dynamically typed. The types are still there, they are just not enforced at compile time.

by nlitened 6y ago
It looks to me as if people who started with dynamic types discover static types after many years, and vice versa. There’s a zen koan about it, I am sure.

Ok you’re right. But you haven’t covered the case when the speedometer is lying :)

Accusation is not conviction though. I really hope that law still has power and meaning

The parent to my comment says about some "convention to use it rarely" though. Trump so far has used the right 77 times more rarely, and I suspect that the person to whom I replied speaks more about their feelings rather than fact

Wikipedia says that Obama pardoned 1927 individuals [0], while Trump pardoned 25 [1]. Am I reading it wrong somehow? [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_granted_executi... [1] https://en.wikiped

I feel your pain, for me as a strictly back-end developer it is the same when I have to make front end. May I suggest trying to outsource this small app to a freelancer? It could be a quite time- and cost-effective small project for someone

Why wouldn't you just do exactly what your users passionately want, and make a small app just for notifications? You may even make it paid, so that your efforts are compensated -- I am sure, the users will be happy to support you.

My computer browser is indeed fine, but my mother's -- is an entirely different story. I am really happy I can still get her an iPad these days.

Why wouldn't you use Android then? I would personally like to continue paying higher prices to protect myself from low-quality background-syncing byte-code-obfuscated web-pages with push notifications, please.

Database immutability does not mean it's impossible to delete content. It means you separate two use cases: retracting information (I remove an item from my shopping cart because I want another item) and purging data (I delete my accou

Honest question — do I really get into jail or get sued for high penalties if a small tools I make for my clients are not "accessible" by any measure?

Top-50 billion dollar unicorns are hardly _mainstream_. We might be witnessing the fact that these non-mainstream languages help beating the odds.

You could make a project for each Epic, and assign tasks to them as well, so you can have them both grouped by Epic and in one place at the same time.

A good question. I think I consider “prepare time” not “compile time”, but “run time”, because it happens not at my will on my dev machine, but on demand on client’s machine or production server, and all the types will be inferred only when

Static typing — yet higher lever abstractions that you mention (like SQL or markup languages) are dynamically typed.
