Even outside of the IT sector, I think the majority of the communication in Berlin is done in English. But in IT, English is definitely the lingua franca worldwide.

GDPR allows up to a month (or more in special circumstances) to delete the account: > The controller shall provide information on action taken on a request under Articles 15 to 22 to the data subject without undue delay and in any event

Depends on the legal requirements of that rollback

I love immutability and Datomic as much as the next Clojure programmer. But this sounds quite a lot like post-hoc reasoning. For example, there's quite a few situations where you require mutability in bank data (e.g. with government re

Wow — not just passwords but phone numbers, full names and physical addresses all breached. And it happened in April 2016 . Surely this should've been reported much earlier due to GDPR requirements?

I can heavily recommend the book "Designing Data Intensive Applications" by Martin Kleppmann for a great overview and deep dive into the trade-offs in both of those approaches (and others)

Not necessarily. Don't work at McKinsey, but don't they have a reputation for flying their workforce to the client sites Monday-Thursday, no matter where the engineer lives?

Wow, what a great looking loaf!

Hey OP, great loaf, and great idea to bullet point the instructions. Kinda funny how the comments here differ in tone from /r/breadit so much :) I hope it's ok if I give some unsolicited feedback: One thing I've been try

Exactly my point. With out of order execution, we execute as if they are in order, making sure that an item with a dependency on the outcome of another is executed in the correct order. We end up having to rely heavily on compilers like LLV

I'm not even talking about backporting, rather updating to the latest version in NixOS unstable means running nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade... And this often seems to fail due to non-backwards compatible changes. Sure, it happens more

OTOH, if you're like me, and want to update to get a new version of one package (and its dependency tree), it's a very common experience to find out that some completely unrelated option has changed in some backwards compatibility

They haven't had a lot of feature development in recent times (as far I can tell), but doesn't workflowy fit that perfectly? I've only started to move away from it in order to do task management better, but still use it for s

Have you tried the Dell XPS? Even with shitty linux touchscreen drivers/experience I end up using it almost every day when scrolling. On Windows it felt very natural.

If it's literally going from rules to writing a grammar that is difficult to grok, perhaps this website might help for playing around (a bit like those regex websites): http://instaparse-live.matt.is/ With the syntax f

Isn't that the same as q: (you know, such as there is q: , q/ and q?)? In which case, evil implements this as "evil-command-window-ex", which I'm sure you could bind to ctrl + f too (perhaps that should be filed as

I fly between Germany and UK pretty frequently, and whilst the UK doesn't check the passport on the way out, Germany do check it on the way out (you get checked again when entering into UK). I have heard of friends of friends who ove

Kind of what https://recup.de/ is trying to solve I guess?

I can't remember the last time I wrote a recursive call in Clojure, other than for multi-arity. In general, if I were in a code review and saw the "recur" keyword, I think I would regard it as a code smell and see if I can re

Why would the salary affect that?

Well, you can close a curtain, you can't usually get a sledgehammer and knock a hole in the wall if your office doesn't have a window and you want one.

That's great, are you using these? How is the interop? How does that compare with ClojureScript and shadow-cljs? How can you make a single binary? Maybe I worded wrongly the first time. I definitely didn't mean to imply that Commo

I'm not sure it's fair to bring up a fractured build system when talking about ClojureScript, and comparing it to Common Lisp, which you would not be compiling to JavaScript and interop'ing with NodeJS etc. With (JVM) Clojure
