I wonder what side you would put Malbolge, What side for python? Haskell? Idris? Clean? C? K?... white/dark side is too much of a simplification to me. Programming language equilib…

Personally this is a hidden trick I use. Ask AI to build something. By default it will use python. Sometimes js or typescript. Ask then to do the same thing in Clojure. The result …

I remember a documentary about learning things to kids, and in order to optimise learning efficiency the optimal ratio for difficult questions should be 1/4. So the children contin…

I think there are a few movies that made me realize how much the space is vast, empty and adverse to life. I think it would be nice for people to take a look at them: - Aniara (201…

I remember there were data loss, but my account appears to have been recovered. You may try to login again, and with luck, like me you will get back your history.

I host a forgejo instance and I feel it is great to embrace the distributed nature of git. But be aware if you intend to host it you will need to protect it from recent AI web scra…

I personally have great success with gptel + mcp + claude (via copilot due to corporate restrictions) I wrote a short article about how I configured it there: https://her.esy.fun/p…

I think this already exists and there are lot of them. Regarding stealth AI interview, there are many existing products. Mainly they listen to the interview, and write down answers…

I had the same idea for a talk a long time ago the result is https://git.esy.fun/yogsototh/gpm I never used it seriously, but the concepts are easy enough to grasp. Have a separate…

"Purely Functional Programming", I guess mostly Haskell/Purescript. So this only really mean: Purely Functional Programming by default. In most programming languages you can write …

For being an Haskell and Clojure dev. Data manipulation in Clojure requires a mind shift coming from Haskell. But it feels a lot more straightforward in Clojure. Even if `lens` is …

One part of the joy that came with using Clojure is that there isn't really any bad choice. For example, I wanted a quick and dirty internal web application for admin purposes. I w…

I am pretty confident the spammers will remove the `+` suffix from your email. And this is why I find the Apple fake email building solution a lot better because they build a fully…

I am very glad of the architecture we use at my current company. This is a monolith, BUT with the capacity to be deployed as microservices if needed. The code is structured in such…

Let me talk about my experience. I was (yes was) mostly an Haskeller. I loved using Haskell, and even a long time ago (in 2007 I think) when I learned it, the book to learn the bas…

Let me add my 2cents on this subject. I feel that due to its functional nature or perhaps this is just the community bias, Clojurists tend to prefer mixing lower level libraries to…

That's really great! Thank you for that. I saw some people asking for a good RSS reader. Personally I will use elfeed, and I also use elfeed-org so I could import the OPML file and…

This is pretty nice, but for my blog I noticed the latest article are wrong. Check yannesposito.com

https://yannesposito.com (or its clone https://her.esy.fun ) I blog about functional programming (haskell, clojure), but also emacs org-mode, thing like these. I sometimes tell mys…

Personally I find that LISP syntax remove a layer of complexity by directly exposing the AST to my brain instead of adding a layer of internal parsing. 1 + x * 2 - 3 % x is longer …

I still follow Quanta Magazine, but I kind of moved from it to SciTechDaily, which while still imperfect, generally has a direct link to the scientific article for which, if they h…

I use nix home-manager and yadm. Mostly on macOS. I blogged about it here https://her.esy.fun/posts/0021-my-personal-environment-sync/...

not really a simulation but the movie “threads” gives what seems to be a very crude and realistic potential scenario viewed from the population standpoint.

I use a single Makefile with pandoc. https://her.esy.fun/posts/0018-makefile-as-static-site-build... I use org-mode instead of markdown. But this system is agnostic of your source.…

From the description it looks like org-roam would be a good open-source alternative.
