Posts often reference people, events, technology, places, etc. Grok effortlessly provides background, counterpoints, etc. I find it amazingly useful.

Nope. The defence strongly objected multiple times and sought a mistrial over Daniels' testimony; Judge Merchan ultimately allowed most of it over their objections, setting up a li…

A quote from a Soviet-era-someone, perhaps Stalin himself. With a compromised judicial process, there are ways to convict any person.

"Give me the man, and I will give you the case against him". First said by a Soviet-era-someone, perhaps Stalin himself, WRT to his domestic adversaries. https://en.wikipedia.org/w…

Surprising to me that Vega and Vegalite don't get a lot more love

Sadly, a substantial part of the left has become illiberal. But, thankfully, the purity spirals have recently stopped spinning as aggressively.

If you want a very comprehensive answer, then this series of (3?) youtube videos might be interesting to you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqF_OZJSbxY&list=PLyvdbTy3v1... The au…

For me, it was the proposal scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6oF9OpmjGw What acting.

The InterViews library, written by John Vlissides, was for writing GUIs in C++ under X11. It came out in the early 90s. (Yes, I'm an ancient programmer) He was one of the Gang of F…

The article makes no mention of Photobiomodulation (and there’s no mention in these comments at the time of writing). And that's odd. Because that's the HUGE idea here. Yes, there …

You are Tim Baldridge and I claim my five parens.

Oh Man, it is certainly nice to hear something positive. Thanks!

Answers to your three points: - I'm wondering if re-frame-test might help? - That ship has sailed a long time ago. And, even if it hadn't, I diagree that symbols would be better. -…

I appreaciate you saying that, thanks.

I've lost track of how many times you have posted pretty much exactly the same thing. Seems slightly fixated.

Docs on builtin effects were added last week. http://day8.github.io/re-frame/api/ Then click "Builtin effects" in the left Nav. I'm actually working on the API docs at the moment a…

If those code examples were in an unfamiliar language (ClojureScript), would they still be useful? I've been under the impression that the concepts would have been a more helpful i…

Checking: you had a few hundred event handlers in the one namespace? That worries me.

> It can't be too unusual; I've seen this critique shared in forums, to which you've replied, for years. In this thread, I was responding to someone saying the concepts were simple…

And yet I've also had people tell me the opposite - they say they liked the water cycle analogy, even more than the subsequent dominoes narrative. Hmm. Hard to know what to do abou…

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

Hmm. This is likely to devolve into a static vs dynamic typing borefest. There is no right here: it is just different brain wiring (preferences), backed by motivated reasoning on b…
