I just recently started using Babashka and it is great, excellent productivity boost for text manipulation scripting tasks.

My last job was mostly C++, my current job is mostly Clojure but I still do a lot of C++ stuff on the side as it is appropriate for some of my side projects. Clojure is so much nic…

This was my first thought when I saw the screenshots of it being sad that it had no memory. One of my favorite shows.

Children sticking around isn't the only option. My mom intends to follow me once I've found a place to settle down in the next few years. I'll give her extra money which should all…

I think they mean apps that don't just stop working when you're offline, not apps that are always offline.

Seconding avoid benzos, nearly saw them destroy someone's life and it seems like doctors prescribe them way too easily.

Yeah I meant together, I didn't make that obvious at all. I still think that is a far cry from "no commercial use" though. I agree it seems a little odd, there's probably some kind…

> Within 3 years > Within 7 years What is your justification for these estimates? I've been trying to pay attention to what various experts think (I'm not one) and it seems like fa…

Eh what? My last job was at a bank, not exactly known for having the most interesting tech. They had several teams that used Scala and I've seen a lot of job listings for roles usi…

I tested this on FF/Chrome/Safari on an M1 Max, couldn't see any difference at all between FF and Chrome but on Safari it was incredibly slow (which actually let me drive the car, …

Just to be clear I'm not trying to equate child abuse to circumcision or view them as morally equivalent, I just don't think its a stretch to call circumcision mutilation, even if …

I'm not trying to equate circumcision with child abuse. Most people having their kids circumcised aren't intending any harm, although some proponents (looking at you Kellogg) did b…

Chopping off body parts without consent? Really? It isn't as bad as FGM but I think it could definitely qualify as mutilation even if it is socially acceptable in the US and Jewish…

Yeah I think you're definitely right wrt the attitude big studios are taking with their games these days. If they swap to mobile they might pick up a different audience but someone…

> PC and console gaming have been shrinking relative to mobile gaming in recent years Is mobile gaming actually taking customers from PC though or is it just growing faster because…

> elevated for blacks because the commit more crime True perhaps, but very misleading. Consider that blacks are far more likely to end up in jail (and for longer) for the same crim…

This is patently absurd. I'm neither trans nor religious but hypothetically I'd much rather announce that I joined a religion anywhere in the US than announce being trans in the sm…

I think this is the answer, I opened Amazon in Firefox where I have an adblocker and the first result was KitchenAid. In Safari w/ no adblocker the entire first row was ads and the…

I'm probably in the minority but pasta and frozen pizzas are about the extent of my cooking skill and there are about dozen excellent restaurants within a 10 minute walk... it isn'…

I'm just mildly annoyed that most languages disallow kebab-case I assume almost entirely so '-' can be used for infix subtraction (and maybe decrement) without having to surround i…

Furthermore, matters defined in s. 847.001 include "Nudity," "Sexual battery," and "Sexual conduct" defined pretty much as you'd expect but without any reference to would-be exoner…

Reading, writing, arithmetic... not always science though right? I bet a good chunk of parents don't want evolution taught in schools. A smaller but significant chunk probably don'…

On the subject of political graft and schools, my Florida high school purchased *every single student* a pair of cheap earbuds for a *single* audio question on a standardized test …

And interestingly there's a strong argument to be made that gun control has already been implemented by the conservatives of a different era to hurt a specific out-group people wer…

According to the article > The law requires that all library books selected be: > 1. Free of pornography and material prohibited under s. 847.012. s. 847.012. includes... > (3) A p…
