cljfmt is included with both Clojure-LSP and CIDER, so if you have either installed it should work out of the box. With LSP mode the standard `lsp-format-region` and `lsp-format-buffer` commands should work, and on the CIDER side `cider-for

Is that a common issue? I guess I'm having a hard time imagining a scenario that would (a) come up often and (b) be a pain to fix.

With the amount of fiction available to read, why give your money to authors who are bad people?

I skimmed it. It's a story about a time traveler warning his ancestor about the horrors of Islam taking over the world. It's pretty yikes.

Posting a question on SO and having it answered is interacting with people. I'm unsure how you could interpret that any other way. And given that podcasts and YouTube were part of the answers, I think it's clear that passively lis

I'll see if I can run the experiment again with Codex, if not on the exact same project then a similar one. The advice I'm getting in the other comments is that Codex is more state of the art. As a quick check I asked Codex to loo

I'll try out Codex and see how that performs. Presumably I can just use OpenAI's Codex extension in VS Code?

I was using GitHub Copilot Pro with VS Code, and the agent was labelled "GPT-5". Is this a particularly poor version of the model? I also briefly tried out some of the other paid-for models, but mostly worked with GPT-5.

Stack Overflow is one of those sites that benefit from a network effect. If there are few users of a particular technology on it, people are less likely to get questions answered and therefore less likely to interact with it again. That sai

I'm fully on board with improving compilers. My issue is that you compare the current state of (some) dynamically-typed languages with a hypothetical future state of statically-typed languages. You use `req.cookies['token']`

There's a difference 'theoretically possible' and 'practically feasible'. Assume I'm talking about the latter.

I was being glib, so let me expand on what I said a little. By 'constraint' I mean something the language disallows or at least discourages. Constraints in software development are generally intended to eliminate certain classes

by weavejester 1y ago
Static typing is a useful constraint, but it's not the only constraint. Focusing too much on dynamic vs. static typing can make one miss the more general problem: we want code that's expressive enough to do what we want, while b

To me the solution seems like it's adding complexity that could cause more issues further down the line. The specific problems in the example could be solved by changing how the data is represented. Consider the following alternative r

The current leaders of both the Conservatives and Reform are on record as being against the Act. While this doesn't preclude them changing their mind, it does make it more difficult for them to reverse course.

That's fair. The government certainly shouldn't be acting like this, and if Slovakia is better in this area, then that's certainly something the UK should seek to emulate. It may be that I'm conditioned to expect the Hom

So allow me to summarize. You believe that the HRA does not grant "free speech" due to some, or all, of the exceptions. You refuse to define which specific exceptions you have a problem with, or define what you mean by "free

You're using the word "class" in two different contexts here. The "class" in "upper class" is not the same as the "class" in "ruling class". This may seem pedantic, but when people say
