We need both! In the meantime, I like the idea of ending subsidies for fossil fuels since it incentivizes building a moonshot technology that everyone can adopt, and curbing our re…

In certain cases. For example, there are some people at Equifax that should be held accountable. Doctors and perhaps civil engineers can be held liable in the US. What is the conse…

I can definitely understand why a team could dissolve. But there are really only upsides for employees to understand why they're being paid X and to be able to model their behavior…

A friend told me about their big company's interview process for interns from Ivy Leagues, which was getting flown out to a party and then getting an internship. The candidates wer…

Did you come up with a solution for recompiling the clojurescript files only when cljs and cljc files were changed? The watch task fires whenever a file in the resources or src dir…

I retract the statement that Rich uses Cursive. I misinterpreted a tweet a while ago, and hope that I didn't cause too much harm. Instead, I'd like to say that Cursive is extremely…

Please see my reply just above yours. You can use vim with clojure too!

Hold on now, there are a lot of very stable options. Rich reportedly uses CursiveClojure: https://cursiveclojure.com/ and there's also vim-fireplace: https://github.com/tpope/vim-f…

Coming up with names for groups of data that you want to be atomic isn't that useful, though.

It's the difference between updated and released. The last Emacs commit was this morning around 9:30am. There is ongoing development on both editors.

Hmm. I signed up a few minutes ago with my university email, but didn't get anything. Does it take a while? Edit: Aha. It doesn't work for everyone, even within the top 500.

I like the new look. What is the icon in the bottom-right and top-left for?

Ugh. They did this with the feynman lectures, too. Edit: Jumped the gun. Just downloaded it as an mp4 to watch in vlc.

I'm also interested in any answers to this. I haven't come across anything as easy and usable as Thunderbird. kmail for KDE seems OK. It's not my favorite, but it feels lighter to …

The script tags are a nice touch, too!

You can always use god-mode if you don't like holding C so much. Then you can just hold p or n to move the line. https://github.com/chrisdone/god-mode

Although this project renames functions, that isn't all that it does. Accomodating new users is very necessary for adoption of any language, library or project, especially by havin…

That's really cool. I've wanted your library for a long time!

Yep! It's necessary to modify slime (or light table? I've been interested in making a CL plugin for it) to take advantage of this syntax, but the absense of sane reader macros in t…

The functions are basically inconsistent in both name and argument order. I think that's one of the problems they're working on correcting (a generic elt/getf), and more obvious wa…

This is great practice for texting and driving !
