A lot of the poor and middle classes don't understand how a billionaire earning millions of pounds per week in passive income is any problem for them - or where it comes from 1, bi…

I can't use new reddit - old reddit lets me disable infinite scroll I think all major platforms should have an option to disable infinite scroll Otherwise I look up and its 3 hours…

As a profession we need to phase out point in time debuggers and replace them with reverse debuggers or "time travel" debuggers

I think there's a lot of interesting things to the side of development that don't get the resources they deserve Debuggers, testing techniques, testing layers Essentially things th…

defaults are a different thing to nil punning So nil will have had special consideration in Clojure core functions That doesn't mean it doesn't crash either it will absolutely be u…

Well it is possible - you can add a user macro that calls into clj-kondo (or anything actually) to check your codebase on compile It just doesn't make much sense to do - most moder…

This is a case I never really thought about - if the key is missing today you'll get nil as the value and since Clojure is a nil punning language it usually does sensible behaviour…

I wouldn't be surprised if it's the glyphosate We need to get back to regenerative farming that already has time proven solutions for weeds (ok maybe not the same yield straight aw…

Yes though they're trying to be effectively the same lisp I do love that I learnt Clojure once like 5-7 years ago and more and more dialects keep expanding the choice of runtime I …

Narcissistic abuse usually happens in a way that the victim cannot point at one event to prove the abuse It's usually a context dependant aggregation of actions Like a vampire taki…

I would assume it's important to know what's in that training set too Because I get reliable generation out of "niche" languages already Is it code with lots of SQL injections used…

Personally I moved from typed functional languages to Clojurescript and then Clojure around 10 years ago Most serious Clojure code bases I'm aware of invest heavily in their test s…

This is important for JavaScript interop without having to include additional libraries very cool and was missing for a long time Congratulations on the release :-)

Clojure core has always been highly protected, stable and curated The downside of that is it's slow and difficult to get changes in Instead of talking about throwing money to get t…

Yeah I see this at work - people are sceptical that AI + Clojure even works but in my experience its amazing the overall quality of Clojure code in the wild tends to be higher than…

Looking back Clojure has been the best thing to happen to me in this industry I doubled my salary using it and changed industries to much more stable industries I've been to a lot …

As someone who loves the clojure repl I do somewhat agree with debuggers are better If it was like a choice, Clojure has my favourite reverse debugger flowstorm which also exposes …

I won't use new Reddit because of its infinite scroll but old Reddit you have to press next which I find doesn't keep me as addicted I wish all companies had to provide a non infin…

Most people should put in a Google maps entry

Type systems are uncomposable leaning towers I can't decide to use the PHP type system for some of my program then the Haskell type system elsewhere I can't combine them they're in…

There are people out there afraid to learn or change and are keen to blame and keep things the same to protect themselves You can listen to their thought process by asking them if …

Before we started colonial capitalism there already was total abundance for everyone and for those not born yet The common lands were for everyone, given a few sheep, vast grasslan…

I am going to continue eating meat and plants but that's because the choice between eating plants or meat misses the point The issue here is the industrialisation of the land and t…
