I doubt yet another religion is the solution. If anything the cast system has shown that it is able to permeate other religions, which is even mentioned in the linked article.

I dont think that is a good enough reason to add touch screen. Do you have a better reason for adding one?

One of the reasons for me to keep using a Mac has been not having a touch screen. It has become very difficult to find non-Mac laptops without a touch screen now. I for one hope they never add it.

The price would have evened out if labor could cross borders as freely as the goods that it produces.

Not really, if that was the case for ex, everyone doing similar jobs would be getting paid the same in US or EU. I am not saying things dont get evened out to an extent, but people are harder to move than the goods they produce.

Such arbitrary limits won't work, especially now. For ex: WhatsApp has about ~50 employes[0]. The kind of wealth and value you can create with few people in software is very dissimilar to other sectors which (at least for now) requires a large number of people involved to be viable.

Another issue is what do you consider as part of a company? In the case of uber, would it include all the drivers or are they there on individual companies?

I guess all this comes down to what you are optimizing for: Quality of life for a median human or overall inequality. I think right now it is optimized for the former.

What I have noticed is that emacs gets most of the cool things really quickly. You might not get many complex UI elements like a sidebar that are very popular, but other stuff like language server or linters etc that are built for VScode or for specific languages gets a lot of love from emacs user community.

AFIK, thats not unit testing. When you can write unit tests, they are usually lighter, faster to run and easier to maintain. You would use Selenium for integration testing.

Thank you apple, for not putting a touchscreen on that. As a developer One of the reasons I use mac is that, it is one of the few high end laptops without a touch screen.

As a developer my experience has been the direct opposite. Getting my first job at a startup was a the best decision for me. I think I have more width (rather than depth) of knowledge because of it, (since I worked in wider verity of roles).

Maybe for a designer this is different. Probably the title should point this out?

Biggest thing about yaml for me was that you can have comments. This is very useful especially when you use it for configuration.

For data interchange, I don't see a lot of advantages to yaml though.

The problems you mention seem generic issues others face when using clojure in similar ways. So may be we can convince clojure core developers to add hooks that provide these features without having to introduce new fileextensions each time somebody needs to refer an extra namespace by default.

Just a suggestion. But the current solution seems reasonable until then.

One of the things that nags me about boot, is that it recommends using file extension `.boot`. Is it just me?

Is there any specific advantages to using another file extension rather than using `.clj`
