Honestly what's mostly at the forefront of my mind is greatly improving the documentation around ClojureScript as well as our fork of Google Closure Library (GCL). At work we've sw…

Working on it :)

The original article on permacomputing by viznut https://viznut.fi/texts-en/permacomputing.html

That's a big contribution, also the original HAMTs are not a functional data structure. See Section 3.4.1 in https://docdrop.org/download_annotation_doc/3386321-trk2f.pd...

Clarifying Clojure had them in 2007. Scala implementations were inspired by Clojure’s. Both Odersky and Bagwell have given credit to Hickey.

If you use Emacs, there's a pretty nifty package https://github.com/tbanel/uniline

I don't think Gnus is that bad once you spend some time setting it up. For groups with a ton of content where I mostly want to search, I found it was better to just download the wh…

WASM and the performance seems catastrophically bad (45ms to render a frame on an M4 laptop)? It would be much more impressive if Claude could optimize it into something that someo…

If you can afford it! "Grass-roots segregation hits records numbers" would be an equally fitting title.

Some research on this topic http://edgarmatias.com/papers/hci96/ On OS X you can achieve this with Keyb, Karabiner Elements, etc. It's also easy to do with a programmable keyboard …

I don't see how anything about what's presented here that refutes such claims. This mostly confirms that LLM based approaches need some serious baby-sitting from experts and those …

Loading 50mb of WASM is a big tradeoff just to run code on a website.

Blitz format is reasonably popular on KGS (once you get to a certain level) usually 10+0. Blitz is harder to find on Pandanet - but you can easily blitz on Fox.

It's easier to get games on Pandanet https://pandanet-igs.com/communities/pandanet and Fox Weiqi https://www.foxwq.com . You can run Fox on OS X w/ Parallels or Crossover. It suppo…

Yes! Recent personal hacks with advice interactively programmed with the help of Claude 4.1 chat session running in Emacs. - popping the global mark to travel backwards to previous…

Yes. gptel supports two output modes out of the box, markdown (meh), and org-mode. I make an org-mode heading with my question, then I press `C-c `. Claude will use the area bellow…

I have 2 Sailor Pro Gear Slims 14K and one Sailor Pro Gear 21K. The later is the best writing experience. I'm not an ink maniac but I tried a few and I found that Sailor inks tend …

I’m left handed, with the right ink and paper this isn’t a huge problem. I picked up fountain pens a year ago and I will never go back to regular pens for my own writing.

> Following SICM I think even its authors were doubtful about whether Scheme was a good medium for working with those ideas. Hrm https://mitp-content-server.mit.edu/books/content/s…

We forked Google Closure Library. This is mostly a good thing as GCL started introducing frustrating breaking changes around 2018/2019. We've backed everything out and now ClojureS…

I'm curious as to how you think this is different from say, committing to JavaScript/BundlerX/NPM or TypeScript/BundlerX/NPM? Surely those have an equally heavy influence on how yo…

The implementation really is not built on top of GCL, the bulk of the standard library is persistent datastructure implementation and functional apis. The few cases here and there …
