Totally silly nonsense. Just don't press buttons in a way that hurts your hands. Literally exactly how you use the computer now.

I used htmx with Clojure and it was easy to mimic components as functions that return hiccup. I have a default middleware that converts it to html before sending it to the client unless I explicitly say it's a json route. (defn

I find myself in exactly the opposite situation. I'm currently a JS developer struggling to find any roles in Clojure I could migrate to.

I don't like taking my shoes off unless I'm relaxing. It's a physical reminder to do stuff. If I'm watching a show and I need to get up to do something, I'll put my shoes back on.

Is this news to anybody? I feel like anybody who's ever read a book already understands this.

I didn't say pointless. I said boring. All the work I do has business value (at least, perceived business value) but I don't think it's fun or exciting to do. It bores me to death. Too much recently, actually. If the job

I felt dramatically more productive using bspwm (which is similar enough to i3) than I do on MacOS. I couldn't tell you how much of it was the M1 being relatively new, having a better/different OS, and a different WM. I just know

I routinely built slums in CS. It's mostly decorative, but you can add some functional slum elements like nearby pollution, bad/no schools, etc.

I played this game extensively, and you can enable "realistic parking" in the traffic manager mod, which assigns parking requirements to buildings (visible with the traffic overlay). You can also disable the auto despawning of ca

I have the opposite problem. Most business software is boring as hell, and I just want to have something cool to work with.

I've brewed coffee with alkaline water, which in my very unscientific observations made it significantly less acidic.

You're overthinking for sure, but I do the same thing. I try to write my update in a notebook every day, but especially when I'm feeling anxious.

Second Amusing Ourselves to Death . Fantastic book, especially when paired with Inventing Reality or Manufacturing Consent .

I read Cryptonomicon and liked it okay, but I have not been able to get into the other Stephenson books I tried to read.

I read a lot, usually history but I've been getting back into fiction I really liked The Three Body Problem , I've over a thousand pages in the last month in this series. I also enjoyed The Poppy War and Dune . The best nonfi

I thought The Gay Science was much better than Zarathustra. I feel like I got a lot more insights out of it. If you go into Nietzsche with Zarathustra I think you'd be kinda confused about his whole schtick.

This is totally me. I love refactoring, simplifying and adjusting code to be easier to modify. I almost always refactor before adding features, since I can adjust the code to make my modifications easier to do.

Even if you are political, there's usually not a need to share your opinions online. I'm political, but my politics are often irrelevant (especially somewhere like HN). Even when politics comes up, it's not like I write a ma

That's funny because I've found the exact opposite. Most everything seems to use roughly the same utilities, but Clojure lets me move more quickly in getting the inputs parsed correctly. For example, I often start with something l

My experience has been the opposite. I spent a few weeks doing a lot of config randomly, but after I had a solid setup, I rarely touch it. I haven't made a config change in months. And the last few were all just new convenience short

I totally don't want to do operations work. I've done some, and it feels like reading an arcane text in another language. I've seen the thing I want before, so I know there exists a magical YAML incantation that brings it ab

The errors are bad, but understandable in 99% of cases with a little experience (like 2-3 weeks). And the stuff about the tooling is flat out wrong. The CLJS tooling is light years ahead of JS tooling in my experience. Maybe that was diff

For smaller PRs/bugfixes, I'll often just have 1 commit, and that's all it took me to write. For bigger things, I do stream-of-consciousness, rebasing somewhat often when I get to a place where I like things. Unfortunately we

We could at least make it illegal domestically. Also, is this Cold War thinking still common? I thought we were over that by now.
