I think StackOverflow used to be better, but the moderation now is both insanely strict (the question has to be super narrow) and inadequate (tons of duplicate questions) The most highly rated questions, there are some real nuggets, would j

Ola Bini, a Swedish software developer and researcher (known for the Ioke language, involvement with JRuby and his research on security and privacy) was arrested 2 years ago in Equador on flimsy allegations. (earlier discussion: https:&#x2

Too bad indeed, StackOverflow is IMO one of the better job boards. I really like the UX: searching by 'tech tags', filtering on location, salary ranges for many postings. I got a really nice job through it once by searching for ni

Yeah this was also my experience. I expected a world of hurt when migrating to Bitwarden but it just worked!

The Netherlands also has something like this, contracting for higher rates and some tax advantages. Many 'freelancers' stay at a client for years. I've recently starting working like this, I contacted a recruiter (who takes a

Completely off topic: i was watching an interview with Ozzy Osborne on youtube, and one of the comment said "if you watch it at 2x speed it sounds like a normal conversation", and it did!

True, but restarting a service, remounting all the data, waiting until everything has synced etc, just to apply a security patch is a big downside of the immutable approach

This blog posts mixes up infrastrucure as code (a good thing) and immutable infrastructure (a good thing, for some use cases) Immutable infrastructure is great for stateless services, to ensure you know exactly what versions are used and to

I recall that when I was in Chiavenna (in the north, bordering Switzerland) there is a valley with a large chestnut forest. Chestnuts used to be a staple in that region. You can also read up on the ancient roman diet, there are many sources

I also go without restaring the repl for weeks, but there are plenty of situations where you need to restart the repl: adding libraries, servers binding to ports, making sure you have no temporary edits, etc, etc. The whole 'reloaded w

Simple and easy are not mutually exclusive, and simple software is not automatically good software. Other criteria, ease of use, documentation, also matter, especially for a build tool intended to be used by a whole community. At the momen

I've tried deps several times, but I keep coming back to leiningen. Can anyone explain the advantage of using deps to me? What I want from a build tool is: manage dependencies, starting a repl, running tests, and building a jar. Leinin

it's very useful: prank your colleagues with the occasional fork bomb, steal their ssh keys and delete their files.

because Magit is so much more convenient and user friendly than the CLI? You don't have to learn all the plugins, I only use magit.

Cider (the clojure plugin for emacs) has a variant that prompts you for the the values for those variables.

I disagree: when fixing a bug I usually start with writing a failing test that reproduces and exposes the problem, and then fix the problem so that the test passes. Understanding, reproducing and fixing the problem is the hard part, once th

yes i also prefer it. With Schema, the defined schema's are normal vars, which you can jump to with editor support. With spec i'm always searching for the definitions.

by synthc 5y ago
Schema is a good library. Everyone seems to use spec today, but Schema easier to use than spec IMO. Spec is also still in alpha, with spec2 still under development.

It will take a long time to move from x86. Tons and tons of servers running legacy code compiled for x86 out there.

Magit, an emacs package to control git. It's not pretty, and certainly not conventional, but very efficient and discoverable.
