It's difficult to take comments like this in good faith when the Github profile linked on your account prominently features your signature on a letter calling for Richard Stallman …

To an extent, you get this with Datalog, which is an easily embeddable subset of pure Prolog. I've been spending a ton of time with the language and its implementation through my d…

> I wonder if it's fair to consider it constraint-based programming rather than just logic programming Prolog III is considered the origin of constraint logic programming: http://w…

This has historically been fairly common among a lot of the early Elixir libraries, and I'd imagine that's a byproduct of many of the early adopters coming from the Ruby ecosystem,…

Yes, that's mostly it! A lot of what I'm talking about has to do with configuration, but reuse is another big element. Your example has no configuration, and so is good in that reg…

Problematic is probably too strong of a term, and I think I'd use the word inflexible instead. I want to be clear though: my issue isn't with applications -- the functionality you'…

Yes! This is a great approach, and I'd be happy to see more examples like this in the wild. This is similar to the same way Phoenix PubSub works, with the PubSub application starti…

Agreed. I also wish fewer libraries started their own supervision tree, and instead gave you a child spec to drop into your supervision tree. There's definitely use-cases where shi…

I don't think this is a fair argument. Sure, the shirt probably isn't appropriate for a business casual environment, but that doesn't change the fact that this behaviour is sexual …

Finnegan's Wake absolutely exists to be read, or even sung, out loud. If you've never gotten the appeal, just try listening to the start of an audiobook version. There's a Youtube …

I think an obvious solution would be to exclude anyone who is incapable of managing the bare minimum level of professionalism that's required in a workplace. If someone is incapabl…

Plenty of us have absolutely no problem working in same-sex environments, and plenty of straight people have no issues working in coed environments. This is very clearly a case of …

Where do non-straight people fit into this "solution"?

For what it's worth, I spoke last year about using Gleam to develop a type-safe core for a LiveView application: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCIcJBM_YDw I think that what you'r…

Oh and it wasn't. That was the least of the school's problems though. They also used a surveillance system called LanSchool, which sent out all of its commands entirely unencrypted…

My highschool physically removed the right mouse button from the mice, because we were right clicking to make text files that we'd rename as batch files to get a command prompt ope…

This is a really tough question to answer, because the answer depends on what you're using JWT for. JWT crams as much functionality into the format as possible, and most of that fu…

And all of this is to say nothing of the frankly embarrassing problems that have plagued JWT as a result of algorithm agility (alg=none). Removing agility from JWT wouldn't make it…

I think this is very indicative of Winkelmann's philosophies about software in general. On his site he writes a little bit about why he thinks Forth is so important, and I think it…

Oh thank you for sharing! I've never come across this, but there's some great references in the README I'll have to go through.

Unfortunately not: it's a physical copy and was a very generous gift from a friend yesterday, who knew I had been trying to track down a used copy for over a year.
