That's not what I meant. Universally meaning, not on an individual basis, but categorical basis, of whether each person is humble or not. It's along the lines of the phrase "there's two types of people" where everyo

I once read that those who are prideful (i.e. arrogant, conceited, pompous) are universally despised, because those who are humble recognize and abhor the ugliness of this vice, and those who are prideful can't stand the thought others

I never said technology can't help people improve their quality of life. Only that technology makes it harder not to be lazy, impatient, arrogant, etc. The fact is that people tend more towards selfishness, laziness, arrogance, imp

Fully agree. We're moving our work codebase from Clojure to Java. It's true that Java is boring and old and simple. That's what makes it great! Now we can focus 100% of our efforts on the business logic rules. (Granted, somet

There's more to quality of life , than life being convenient, easy, more productive with less effort, and other benefits that modern technology brought us over the past hundred years. You know the old joke that the three virtues of pr

The example of the "trapped housewife" on page 6 is a great example of just how spoiled and entitled we've become. We can't imagine doing a routine job every day unless it's somehow fun , to the point where he desc

Yeah but Quake was the first Doom clone where you could actually aim in two dimensions, X and Y! Doom's only letting you aim in X felt a bit cheesy and limited after playing Quake. Especially Quake 2 with mods, those were extremely fun

After watching like 3 minutes of it, I'm suddenly reminded of the suspense and sense of mystery that Doom had. I don't think I've ever experienced that in any video game since then.

If this is better than having built-in support for it in the language, why don't all languages with async & await do it this way?

Honest question from a non C++ developer: what's the main point of Rust? What's the primary reason for choosing it over any other language? When would it be most appropriate to choose?

My kids aged 4 8 9 and 12 each use the desktop every day, for recreation and for homeschool, but they use Windows 10, they each have their own user account, and they use it for various apps, including games like Minecraft and Factorio, pain

Right. Even a "slimmed down" version of JS would be suitable for beginners.

For what it's worth, the name is really cool. I just looked up the etymology of Node and it comes from Latin `nodus` meaning knot. So if a Node program is the knot, then the stuff that makes it up and that it comes from must be the yar

Why did you choose C# and AST.NET Core, instead of another cross platform solution? Was it just your familiarity with the language and platform, or are there other strengths to these over alternatives?

Hmm, I knew it did that when the REPL wasn't on, because it gives very limited completion options compared to CIDER. Does Cursive even do this when you have access to a REPL, or when nREPL is running? That's the main reason I stil

Neat! Better than nothing! Still not as context-aware as IntelliJ does (sometimes), but it's hard to beat Jetbrains, especially as a sole developer. Plus Clojure doesn't exactly make this easy by being dynamic from the bottom up.

Well also that it's entirely dynamic. You can create and edit "functions" on the fly, which will exist immediately, and are persisted across "sessions". But despite how convenient this is, there's basically no
