    I’m late to the party but did you check outbound web traffic as well or just the sent emails? I will preface this by saying I have limited experience with LLMs and have not tried a…

    I’m working on Dispatch ( https://github.com/jhartwell/dispatch ) a Clojure(Script) library to handle cli arguments parsing with a command/subcommand style. Still am working on the…

    I’ve been playing with a Arduino compatible Uno R3 and a WS2812B RGB addressable LED light strip. I cut a 3m strip into 5 strips that are 28 LEDs long and soldered the lights toget…

    I personally use Clojure because I got a job doing it, I hadn’t touched it before my current position. I would pick it now over Common Lisp and Elisp because I prefer the syntax (I…

    What kinds of things do you write in Racket? I’m a clojure dev and so I’m a big fan of lisp. I’m just curious what kinds of projects you would use Racket for

    Good lord this is terrible and the things that were learned and seemed to be normalized by Noah are not applicable to 99% of all individuals starting a company. First section is ab…

    If it makes you feel better you probably would not have been able to just pick up the dishes and use them without buying extra parts. I had DirectTV and when I cancelled they came …

    You are correct, however, that isn’t the same as probation. Companies with a probation period may not grant full benefits until after the probation period ends. For example, a comp…

    There most definitely are companies that have a probationary period in the US. It may not be common but it does happen. My first dev job had a probationary period and I put up with…

    I think I may have misunderstood what your original comment was referring to. Were you saying that one doesn’t need a parser to make a working interpreter? I want to make sure that…

    I have not heard of tagless final style interpreter before and that seems really neat. However, based on the link it seems that tagless final interpreter uses a strong type languag…

    It may have started that way but now it is used to install and manage applications and it makes it really easy to do so. There is even a Linux version of homebrew now

    I’m not really sure how you would be able to write an interpreter without a parser, since you need to know what the user is trying to do. For a more complete tutorial there is Make…

    I think the attitude is more the result of lack of competition. All of this was from before my time but doing a quick check on Wikipedia shows that VisiCalc came out in 1979 where …

    There are some settings in your profile that show you are open to work without broadcasting it on your profile picture. There is also a setting that is supposed to hide the fact yo…

    Most of the talk seems to be around Apple, which makes sense since they were opponents of the bill but I am more interested to see how this affects game console manufacturers. I ha…
