You're not wrong. Notice how I mentioned my favourite model "sucks less" than the other one. What ever company sells an e-ink smartphone with a fantastic camera and up-to-date Android will get my money for ever.

When attending school for music a few years ago, my house mate had started playing violin after having binged TwoSet Violin on YT. Sad to see them go - they inspired many. (I never watched a video though, as I had 40 hours of practice to do

Thanks for sharing! I too have looked at the Palma, but without it also being a phone, I can't go for it, because I'd have to carry it and a LCD-screen phone. Colour e-ink works by having a colour filter over the screen, and every

I want to recommend getting an e-ink smartphone. I've tried the Hisense A5 and the Bigme Hibreak, and software-wise, found the Bigme Hibreak to suck a little less, as I could not access the Google Play store on the Hisense. I had one w

Turned location off for Uber for this reason. Makes the app less useable - but still worth it. Without that feature, I'd rather just wave a taxi in (depending on city). Makes me feel like Uber is hostile towards users instead of servic

Is there a DRM-free way to watch this?

That is indeed totally crazy. I wish I had some way to verify your story, as I as a reader can't know who sits behind the keyboard on the other side.

Online Adverts are a form of micropayment. It's currently the only way to charge sub-cent amounts from users. It requires the third party of an advertiser, which is a very expensive middle man. If we can figure out how to do micropayme

This is what I have done as well. I think it was Bruce Schneier who brought up the idea of digital feudalism. I want to own my data, and that is incompatible with the business of Netflix and Spotify. Very sad about it, since both those serv

After being Clojure-only for a long time, I decided to write the front end to my last project in Elm, just to see what the fuzz was about. While I miss code-is-data very much, there is no turning back from the type system and how there are

So owning and sharing child porn should be OK in the eyes of the law? It's simply not an easy question to give an easy answer to.

Infix is only easy to read if you're only used to it. Not inherently better - I'd say opposite even. Also, I don't want to live without Paredit (or Smartparens)

by yjgyhj 9y ago
Disagree that it's readable. The parens are great - they show exactly where a function call starts and where it ends. The program is a tree!

One thing me and my teammate did in our last Clojure gig was to not shorten namespaces (with the `:as` keyword). Instead of in this example write `[cognician.chat.dom :as dom]` just write `cognician.chat.dom`. Then when calling, use the who

For this reason I went out to buy a Intel NUC and am now running NixOS on there. Developing on that machine, with a Clojure nRepl connected via SSH. Works great, especially since my service can now be running and fetching data from the inte

by yjgyhj 9y ago
I do so because my Clojure app I'm writing also depends on other programs from 3rd party vendors (open source stuff). I'm too old to spend time setting shit up on every develop machine, server etc. If I can just write one declarat

> How is it taking up 100 GB? A couple of blockchains. As said, it's the data of my app, not Clojure or Docker.

by yjgyhj 9y ago
I have been working on a Clojure (so JVM) program that I run in Docker for Mac. It requires some data on disk, which is about 100GB. Since my laptop has a pathetic 250GB SSD I got an external drive for this. All well. But I get the problem

Why do operating systems allow users to run any executable? For programmers it's important to be able to - but when you're not coding, running any executable is not required. It should be that all programs are in /usr/bi

Does this work the same way as Monero?

I enjoyed the story, and got it! The one part I miss to be able to claim understanding of zero-knowledge protocols is anchoring the story to what one uses (modern) ZKPs for. Hoping to read that connection here in the HN comments.

I've used TypeScript, Flow and Elm for making front-end apps. My favourite of the three is by far Elm, even if that was a bit harder to get into (as it's a new language and I didn't know before how to do side-effect free prog

Being vegetarian is easy and healthy. I recommend it. If nothing else, buy a nice cookbook and make it a habit to cook nice non-meat food one night a week. Make it a date with your partner!

One me as a European and Holland-lover is worried about is Amsterdam. A ton of Clojure stuff going on there (my special interest) but at 0.5 degree celsius warmer than now, that town is likely to be submerged.
