This is the curse of globalist behemoths. Small companies is where it's at. Localism.

In October 2019 I delivered a keynote at PyConZA arguing that you should aim to be a generalist that connects specialists: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn06eCDur2o In short: in sparse graphs, mobility dominates.

Thanks for TerminusDB. I'm currently implementing a toy datalog-based graph DB in Clojure backed by RocksDB. (I wish Terminus didn't publish articles on Medium, where you need an account to read)

Wow, this is awesome. Many of the songs can't even be ID'd by Shazam and are not on Apple Music. I wish the initial modal dialog was easier to close and that the current track ID was reflected in the URL bar, e.g. http:/&#x2

The most interesting Clojure-like language around is, IMO, Carp[^1]. Carp is a Lisp written in Haskell that compiles down to C with Rust ownership semantics and looks like Clojure. So you get a GC-less Lisp with fast startup time that is su

Fair warning to anyone picking up Clojure / ClojureScript: it can make you less productive by making your old tools insufferable. It's like taking an automatic 2.5L turbo Subaru w/aircon for a spin and then getting back into

I need Kernel Extensions for Karabiner and USB-to-TTY drivers to talk to and program firmware on embedded boards. If I can no longer do this, my next machine is not a Macbook. Unless there is a different way, this is a dealbreaker.
