Doesn't that kind of defeat the point of the Yubikey? I would think you would want to separate the key and the computer when you yourself are separated from your computer.

As far as I know, the industry standard is the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's annual 'Tracking The Sun' report[0]. I recommend it as a great primary source - the measurements are well explained and accompanied by hel

Yes, in my experience it does. In my projects I fdef all my functions and then turn on instrumentation (with the Orchestra[0] library, so that it also checks :ret specs). It helped me find several instances where I was incorrectly assuming

Thanks for the work you're doing here! I want to commend you on how well and consistently you communicate the priorities and progress of this project. Between the This Week in Matrix[0] blog posts, the Matrix Live chats for the Patreon

I'm pretty sure you can install the nix or guix package managers without elevated privileges, and thence any package that they've defined.

IPFS isn't a blockchain, and you only receive data you request - it's pull instead of push oriented. So I don't believe it has any problem with this.

That's just the http gateway so that those of us who are stuck in the stone age can view stuff on ipfs. All that content is still available as long as someone has the content pinned somewhere.

There's a really good talk from StrangeLoop about it[0], I highly recommend checking it out. I don't write rust, but it made me want to. [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QS8mrbAPLJc

In this case, it appears the node is in your browser, right? Does it go away when you close your tab? In which case your link will survive for 30 minutes, or is it just gone?

Pretty sure Epic isn't a conglomerate, though you are correct that they benefited immensely from the Meaningful Use/HITECH legislation.

That's in the standard library, actually. It's called as->. (as-> value <> (function1 arg1 <>) (function <> arg2) (function arg1 arg2 <>))

One thing that would be killer in a cljs shell is some sort of paredit capability. I've been writing clojure long enough with good tools that when I have to use it in an environment without paredit it slows me down a ton. This looks gr

I'm going to go ahead and second this - I switched a couple of days ago as well and my jaw just dropped at how much better it is than lastpass. The ui is better, the interface is snappy!, and it's gpl. I just wish I had learned ab

What's nice is you can turn off the baseband processor and make voip calls if you're on a wireless connection, so you can work around that.

Well the nice thing about that is that this project will bring a nice telephony stack to all of linux, so if they succeed you can do exactly that!

The details are available on the Purism[0] site. I really like that they are adding physical switches to control the microphone, camera, baseband, and bluetooth. And that they are giving a lot of thought to separating the baseband procecess

Here's a blog post[0] from the guy who implemented Lean Hash-Array Mapped Trie (HAMT) maps for clojurescript. It's really cool stuff! [0] https://bendyworks.com/blog/leveling-clojures-hash-maps

Clojure for one! But I thought it was a common complaint that Go's lack of support for generics and other language design decisions aimed at keeping things easy make it much more verbose. That's just a non-user's perspective

Clojure was my first language and I agree. Everything made sense, and I was in for an unpleasant awakening when I started to learn other languages. Mutability in particular makes writing sensible code a lot more difficult. And learning how

I'd point you towards Brenden Eich's tenure as Mozilla CEO for an example of why it matters. He supported a (at the time) popular measure, Prop 8, which later became unpopular. 7-8 years later Prop 8 is widely condemned as homopho

I think it is an anti-pattern that is a result of the language it's built on. This is one place where using Clojurescript wrappers of React has a real payoff - immutable datastructures make equality checking very very cheap.

One idea I heard was you would just store the IPFS hash address on the Ethereum blockchain, so you can store basically anything in there without blowing up the size.

I'll second this. Clojure was my first language, and I think I've been spoiled. Learning mutable programming was a lot harder for me, especially when you add the object oriented paradigm to it. I think a lot of people who learne

I think the modern emphasis on gender/sexual identity has something to do with a widespread post-modern/relativistic worldview. In the victorian age, absolutes were part and parcel of the cultural context. Nowadays, we don't

I vaguely remember something about making the sites available through ipfs. What was that like and what came of it?
