yawn

but there are certainly domains where Clojure is the best fit

Honest question: what domains?

I use https://pinside.com. It's been around for a long time and is an amazing resource for Pinball info.

I was shocked as a non-hockey fan to see an ad of a car driving along the wall during active play. My eyes instinctively moved to the ad away from the puck. It was gross.

As an NBA fan, I hate how ads keep getting crammed into every piece of equipment on the court, the jerseys, etc.

I love the way Automat makes me feel every time I look at it. When I first started reading your comment I got defensive. After some thought, of course I agree with you.

I've enjoyed some of your other comments on art. Are there any books that you would recommend to someone who enjoys art but knows little about art history (or art in general)?

I wrote a small web app in Crystal a few years ago. I enjoyed the language and the experience, except for the compile times. Any experiences of folks using the interpreter for speeding up iterative development?

It's not about refactoring for me. It's about trying to grok what the heck some library author or coworker was thinking when they went all Architecture Astronaut with the type system and traits. It reminds me of how people go crazy with OO and end up with delegation spread across several files. I already have to hold the problem in my head. I find that Go takes such a mental load off my shoulders that I find it the easiest to grok other's intentions (including my own several months/years later) in.

Define „woke“

I've experienced the same repetitive realizations/ideas. I have kept 3 different files going back 10+ years: did.md which contains notes/thoughts about any interesting events by date, ideas.md which contains business/project ideas, and resolutions-yyyy.md. Whenever I revisit them, I'm always struck by the same thoughts/ideas that come up over and over again. The ideas.md file is the one that cracks me up the most--I have repeating project ideas with the same/similar set of features that occur every few years.

Similar story. Learned Logo at school on a Vic-20. Loved it so much I taught myself Basic at Kmart by grabbing the Basic User's Guide off the shelf and typing stuff into one of the C64s on the display case. It impressed my dad so much he put one on layaway. Been programming ever since.

This sentiment comes up every time people complain about the App Store. If you only want to use Apple's App Store, great--keep using it the same way you've always been using it. Nothing will change for _you_.

What I don’t get is the angry soap box lectures from the people who disagree.

The failure of people to put themselves in other people's shoes is mind-boggling sometimes. There's a reason why so many people are angry.

I picked it up and played with it. I mostly liked what I found. I do web dev and the story there is less compelling than other languages if you're looking for something more than Jester. I may be misremembering, but even though the frameworks are async (some with that atrocious "{.async.}" pragma) the db libs were not.

If you go back and look at previous versions of release notes, many are just as terse. This definitely isn't new.

Come to St. Louis where everyone mispronounces the French street names. Doug Crockford coined JSON as "Jason", but nearly every developer I've ever run into says "jaysawn", so that's how I say it too.

I love it when this comes up in the rss feed. I wish more folks did these!

For me, when learning a new language, there's a war in my brain between learning the thing and being productive. If I'm not productive long enough, I jet. It took me a couple of tries of bouncing off of Rust before it started clicking. I've written a few personal web projects in Rust and I'm still on the fence using it for those. My comparable Go web apps run just as fast with a little more memory usage, but are significantly faster to iterate on (compiler speed) and write, and also to read/understand later. The thing that has been tripping me up the most as an intermediate Rust programmer is that some library authors tend to get Architect Astronaut-y with the type system. It gives me the SimpleBeanFactoryAwareAspectInstanceFactory Java vibes.

are you really stopping the server, compiling again, run the full server when doing changes the logic for the server?

Yes. I use something like `cargo watch -x run -w templates` for my personal project. If I make a change to any source file, this command will recompile my project, then restart the web framework's (Tide currently) http server. It also watches changes to the templates (Tera, which is like Jinja2). It's not nearly as fast as some of the dynamic language reloading I've used in other languages/frameworks, but it works and I can move pretty quickly this way.

Do you use the same memory palace for different "groups" of things to remember? If so, do you ever get items confused because they are at the same location in the palace?

This post has a copy of an xkcd comic (https://xkcd.com/2347/) without linking back to it (https://xkcd.com/license.html). It's probably a mistake.

What mess do you mean? The language, what happened to the language because of Rebol Technologies, or something else?

Nobody on the street recognizes who the string "TeMPOraL" is. Show them a picture and now they all recognize.

I miss that podcast. The 2 of them disagreed on some technical things, which made it more interesting. Listening to them all the way to success was pretty cool.

Is there anything else out there like it?

EDIT: People mentioning that they could remember where they were when they listened to the podcast makes me remember where I was when they had Jason Calacanis on the show who informed them that they were sitting on a gold mine.

Did you read the post? The "dirty tricks" also involved "stealing WordPress code and lying about it" and not allowing you to export your content.

The browser is only half (the client-facing side) of the equation.

Just to add some off-the-beaten-path solutions I've come across recently:

Same here, except Louis Darling brilliantly illustrated the ones I read. I wore different colored shoelaces on my Chuck Taylors after reading Otis Spofford. Her books will always have a warm spot in my memory.

Some muds support a "brief" mode, which will limit the room description to one line.

They show him getting on the same plane as Jones. He’s following him.
