> This is a similar reaction to photosynthesis in plants, which produces glucose instead of rocket fuel. This is silly, but also begs the sillier question why we aren't bioengineer…

no hits for clojure. I'm incredulous

I've been working since November on an integration between a Quest VR app called Fluid, and MacOS and Windows hosts. The app itself is called Fluid Link, launched just after new ye…

While all those skills are great to have, you're now competing with every unemployed junior, fresh grad, and old coder on the market. You need to update your skill set, and ideally…

Chamber of Commerce is swimming with other hungry sharks. You'd be better off finding a coworking space (NOT a chain one like WeWork). Talk to the owner and explain your situation,…

1. Ignore the haters. 2. Sell or trade in the desktop for a laptop. Portability and space is your friend. Join a local Facebook "buy nothing" group, and ask for a trade or someone'…

It's pretty true from recent experience. I've recently started rewriting a C# based desktop/window stream tool because of how weak the support is across the board for C#. Microsoft…

Your comment about how it makes editing flow like python is spot on, and I've been saying this for years. I'm a long time parinfer-rust user in spacemacs, and it makes me very happ…

For the most part, yes. CIDER and nREPL is better tech than IEX though. I live in both and Clojure is much more enjoyable.

phone self-service systems, tutoring services, contract review, recruiting. Just to name a few

Exactly. It seems like so many people fall into the logical trap that school is about getting you to permanently memorize facts that, in a typical adult life, end up being largely …

Agreed, and not just that you can. You absolutely should.

So would this count as 1 instance or 100M instances of HIPAA violations? Last I checked the penalty is $50k per violation...

Yep. Homes can either be for shelter or for investment, but not both. We are experiencing this as a global culture. I dream of a 100% tax rate on second homes, foreign ownership, a…

I have worked for hours in Immersed in both the quest 2 and 3. The 3 is considerably more comfortable on the head and eyes. I constantly had to take the quest 2 off for a breather

virtual box can do a seamless windows mode. It in't as slick as parallels but it is passable.

I actually did, repeatedly. I threw away 3 or 4 chat sessions with it about this very subject. It kept hallucinating features into libraries and naming products that don't actually…

Thank you for this post. I've been looking high and low for weeks trying to find a way to connect Looker to a GraphQL API unsuccessfully and apparently "PostgreSQL emulators" are c…

This is effectively what Bumble Bizz is trying to be. It's terrible

I'm not saying this is the case here, but there can be both tax and labor outsourcing incentives for posting a job ad that you "just can't seem to fill".

Rakuten was the first and only bigger corp I've worked at (my life has been startups and boutique shops) and so I have had a hard time understanding why people don't like open offi…

With all that salary, keep the job and hire a team of outsourced workers to build the business of your dreams on the side.

All but one of our engineers at my company use Emacs. We work in Elixir, Clojure, and Typescript. Varying configurations for sure, but mostly Doom Emacs and Spacemacs.

to be fair, that's what robot means etymologically
