I really liked this. I’ve not tried jolt (yet!) but it sounds like a good fit for using Clojure on something like Heroku without worrying about the mismatch between the JVM and res…

I agree with this. I feel like there’s a false dichotomy right now in a lot of these discussions where one can only vibe code or only code by hand. It is possible to do both…

This framing of it being a tool that you find indispensable as an individual is important. I’m not interested in debating static vs dynamic types, or vim vs emacs, etc. If it works…

Nvidia drivers leave a bit to be desired on Linux imo. I’ve got an all AMD HTPC right now and bazzite is terrific.

This page should give you the answer: https://nrepl.org/nrepl/usage/server.html

You can expose a REPL socket from a running clojure instance in whatever environment you choose. Biff has this as a marketed feature, described on this page: https://biffweb.com/do…

Absolutely. I had imagined green hydrogen production or something similarly intensive to be the solution.

Reminds me of the Rich Hickey post Open Source is Not About You. https://gist.github.com/richhickey/1563cddea1002958f96e7ba95...

Your recent post on using datastar with SSE to power game of life [1] was excellent. Thanks for writing it! [1] https://andersmurphy.com/2025/04/07/clojure-realtime-collabo...

I had my own company previously and I found it hard to detangle that commercial mindset from hobby coding. I’m employed now and find it much easier to code purely for fun. If I pla…

This matches well with my experience so far. It’s why the chat interface has remained my preference over autocomplete in an IDE.

As are all primes!

I would have thought https://adonisjs.com/ was the equivalent? I've not used next.js for a few years but it doesn't seem to have an answer for anything on the back-end except rende…

I’ve often had this question about GDP. Does the overpriced US healthcare system contribute to it? Not throwing shade, just genuinely curious about GDP’s value as a measure.

But a museum doesn’t ask you to “buy” an exhibit… The misleading aspect of digital “ownership “ is in the use of the word buy.

Interesting that this site makes money despite pcpartpicker existing. Gives me hope that there are a bunch of opportunities to build something like this for other hobbies.

In the context of the article, I read this as "modify the test first for an existing unit test and a bit of production code under test". I don't think this is equivalent to "always…

I've been tempted to start foor gifts. Family buy me books for Xmas and having a big list of what i already own would make that easier.

Depends on country. UK is every three months.

To be fair, they do call out in the article that they're hosting on their own hardware. Afaik Heroku has always been hosted on AWS which is a lot less capital-intensive than buying…

Unless you don’t want a Mac? I like my Mac, but prefer Linux for dev. Having a beefy AMD framework 16” that I can refresh in 3 years sounds great to me. > What’s the point of tryin…

Eat your heart out Mark Lawrence. All we need now is a shipheart!
