Not sure this type of response helps and referring to someone who is active in the Clojure community and tries to build some cutting edge stuff as 'this guy'. (Did some digging and hyperfiddle looks pretty cool). I think it would

Cognitect is a holding of NuBank (since 2020 I believe). Doesn't that mean the core developers are now funded by NuBank? Isn't it in their interest that 'the core language (Clojure and Clojurescript) to not feel like it is fa

What are your prompting and general tips for using Gemini effectively? And what use cases do you think it’s best suited for?

I'm curious about your Clojure setup. Same as GO, I think Clojure has very strong backwards compatibility. If trying to avoid the cloud, like OP, which hosting option is suitable for Clojure, what do you use? I believe Clojure (JVM) ha

I don't envy you Boris. Getting flak from all sorts of places can't be easy. But thanks for keeping a direct line with us. I wish Anthropic's leadership would understand that the dev community is such a vital community that t

Veganism is about being pragmatic. It's not a dogmatic mindset. The main goal is to not harm another sentient being. Both factory farmed or 'happy' farmed animals usually end up in the same slaughterhouse. Pigs are being gass

Yeah not a realistic scenario. AI is immensely useful and if applied correctly will help humanity. The question is how do you reign in the robber barons, who just want to use AI to maintain their status quo and extract more and more profit

So what's the solution? Not using AI?

I was planning to sign up to Copilot, since their pricing was per request not per token. Has that changed now?

I like Clojure and want to get more into, but wondered what folks are doing when it comes to building AI powered apps. So thanks for sharing your experience. And nice site btw :)

Can you talk more about why you chose CLJ for datascience / ML. Are there any benefits of using it over Python? And how is the interop with Python libs?

Any plans to have a keyboard with a trackpoint and thumb buttons? I Don't need a trackpad. If you add this then you'll have a new customer for life. The trackpoint is the only thing that keeps me chained to Thinkpads.

Not sure you can compare Invision to Figma. Invision wasn't a design tool like Figma is. Design systems live in Figma. Not going to be so easy to migrate and Enterprise customers are moving slowly.

By then I'm hoping we'll have an open source solution at the same quality and UX that Blender provides for 3D.

I have it, jumped on the affinity band wagon years ago after Adobe started their enshittification process. After Canva bought Affinity, you now have to authenticate with your email from time to time when you launch the desktop app. Annoying

No, but my local AKO newsagent does have them. Don't have a need for them though.

I miss the days of having a native desktop design app with a perpetual license. What Figma achieved technically in the 2010s was amazing. Coded the app in C++ and then used WASM to deliver it as a multiplayer web app. But now it's tryi

Hosting companies managed to shutdown illegal sites without requiring you to submit your pics and passport first. And if someone wants to do illegal things, what's stopping them from submitting a fake ID?

You just hear too many horror stories of data being leaked. Even if Hetzner uses a 3rd party system to do the verification - that 3rd party probably has to store your pics for some time. But at least if there is an alternative then great.

by uxcolumbo 6mo ago
That's nuts. Why do they want a pic of your passport. Absolutely no to this - reason enough to go with AWS or alternatives. And why are ppl willingly giving it to hosting providers? Unnecessarily exposing yourself to identity theft if

I think this would be a great candidate for some short video clips to illustrate the power of CLJ / CLJS. As per our other thread... what can be done to increase adoption.

> How so? I don't know, hence my question. See Mark's comment above. ML expert, wrote a book about ML for Clojure, but it seems he had to stick to Python, since that's where the ML jobs are. I've read a few times now

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Haven't seen it from that perspective yet. But then you have companies like NuBank, who chose Datatomic / Clojure and trains new devs in it. So it's about tech leadership with a 'nobody

Can elaborate which design decisions were wrong and why in your view?
56.
by uxcolumbo 6mo ago
What made you stop using Clojure or not so much anymore? No jobs in Clojure? Also, in your view, is Clojure better suited for ML / AI apps? And if so, what is stopping it from being more widely adopted. I read the interop with Python M

Couldn’t LLMs help with writing those glue components? Read the doc for the SDK of the month and then write the Clojure interface for it? The same goes for existing micro services, no?

by uxcolumbo 6mo ago
Can you talk more about those scripts, what are you using it for?

by uxcolumbo 6mo ago
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Since NUBank literally built a billion dollar business because of Clojure, I would have thought the adoption in fintech at least would have been bigger. Maybe it's because CTOs are just not sure and fe
