It angers me that they call out that most nomads are straight. They should have said that there are MORE LGBT folks who are nomads than the average in the USA. 5% are gay/lesbian, …

Yeah. I've gotten into the habit of asking hosts to send me their exact up/down. Even then, they often have wifi routers that are just awful, so I have to plug in via ethernet and …

Curious.. what would you bring back?

I can't help but attempt to apply Kant's categorical imperative to this approach. Is this something I would wish as a universal rule? What about folks who have really bad luck and …

I hadn't heard of mailtime! Last one I used was DeltaChat ( https://delta.chat/ ) and it was super slow.

That is such bad Agile. No wonder people have such bad feelings about it. :-(

How is the VSCode support? I've only used IntelliJ + Cursive for Clojure and am quite spoiled. That's the only reason I might not recommend Clojure for a VSCode user. Now, if said …

How is it that you think Clojure has trouble doing things in a non-functional way? I'm just curious, as I work in Clojure primarily and may have a huge blind spot I'd love to clear…

Boy do I hate that phrase. It's absolutely incorrect from a neuroscience perspective. Words can in fact hurt you, and, depending on circumstances, cause long term psychological dam…

I don't know why, but you might find this interesting: https://hub.packtpub.com/mongodb-withdraws-controversial-ser...

The article seems to suggest that the study hasn’t actually been executed yet. This seems to be about hypotheses and study design.

You might find this article on racial and gender bias in the SAT/ACT interesting. https://www.forbes.com/sites/kimelsesser/2019/12/11/lawsuit-...

While I'm asking for help.. does anyone know of any crypto bindings? I've been working with libsodium lately, and there is a Clojure library that binds to it.

So, I do a lot of string manipulation using regular expressions, and Janet doesn't support that, in favor of PEGs, which I've never heard of. Does anyone know of a "PEGs for RegEx …

What about when your country (like mine) is a technological superpower and allows the super rich to keep all of the wealth generated by our greatest minds locked up? We could do th…

Not a bad idea!

Or use a password manager..

We definitely avoid this approach. Fine grained access control per secret per environment is impossible. We use explicit secret management software.

Disagree 100%. “just talk directly to people” reads to me like an ill-informed tactic that allows all our worst habits to run amok. Studying these techniques and making them habitu…

Absolutely. Social threat triggers the exact same pain response wiring in the brain as physical violence.

With familiarity that goes away. :-)

Well if crypto is managed outside the database I don’t think it’s a huge problem.

Who knows? If the system is rigged against the righteous and the immoral are in charge, maybe hacking the system is the moral thing? Much to ponder on this one...

This is why our development team operates using unanimous consent. We have gotten really good at it in fact! It just takes practice and trust. Robert’s rules definitely takes pract…

Definitely going to check this out. I’ve studied consent decision making through Sociocracy which was based on the Quaker approach to consensus building. It will be nice to see ano…
