Looking into developing a pretty involved website with Clojurescript. Does anyone have any experience in this domain, or suggestions they can throw my way?

P.S. HAPPY END OF THE SEMESTER EVERYBODY!

I hope everyone has a wonderful time spending the holidays with people they care about ❤️

Just got a new keyboard. Old one had buckling spring switches, this one has Gateron blues. I'm considering the Kailh box jades for the extra stability and maybe fliming them to reduce flex. Anyone here have other clicky switch suggestions?

Currently carrying 2 more group projects in an attempt to save my grades from my teammates.

No progress from them on the code at all, and none on the report yet either. I could at least accept that if I'm going to do most (see: nearly all) the code, that they would write the report. Looks like that's not happening either, unless they churn it all out at the last minute as usual.

I'm honestly not sure how well we're going to do, and I'm getting really sick of this nonsense. Hopefully I can speak with the professor tomorrow, but it's immensely frustrating that I have to consistently resort to this strategy.

Even worse, in this case they basically told me "You did enough, we'll take it from here", and proceeded to make 0 progress for over a month. I actually thought I finally got a decent group; oh well 😩

I found an awesome new browser add-on on hacker news that brings HUGE quality of life improvements to Wikipedia.

I love the themes, and customizable text fonts/spacing along with the little touches like moving the "related/navigation" section to a minimizable sidebar. I may ask the author to add support for dyslexic friendly fonts too, but if you use Wikipedia for your job or for fun, you should check this out!

Installing Guix on a test laptop until I get things operational to migrate. I've not been this excited to configure a system in a long time :D

@freemo Passed a PCR test? What were they doing sequencing your genome? Were they proving your identity? 😂

@freemo @lucifargundam @Pat You assume I have time lmao.

I just listen while I code/wait for simulations to finish running.

@lucifargundam @Pat @freemo Keep that up and you get no more sauce :P :ablobjoy:

Gosh, if its this hard for a human to pass the Turing test, we may have some issues lmao

@freemo @Pat @lucifargundam Oh okay, fair enough. I've never interacted with him before, and after a few responses I legit couldn't tell if I was being trolled or what. At that point, I just decided to stop interacting. If you think he means well, I'll try to leave it at that :)

Sorry if I upset you @Pat, it wasn't my intention, but it was quite unexpected to be accused of being a non-"sentient linguistic biological organism", for posting requested sources to substantiate a plastic recycling post, and it was even more frustrating to try to reason with you afterwards. Maybe my snark regarding the Turing test was a bit too much; please refer to the attached image as a meme-worthy consolation XD

@freemo @Pat @lucifargundam Thank you for the backup Freemo; it felt like I was talking to a brick wall while I was trying to get my point across (which kind of ironic while being accused of being a bot XD)

@Pat @lucifargundam I am honestly no longer interested in passing your so-called "test". If @freemo has a problem with my posts that provides a source for my original claim, I'm sure he'll let me know.

Please, continue posting in this thread, but I'm done responding to you. I have better things to do.

@Pat @lucifargundam I've been conversing with Freemo et al for nearly a year IIRC. So why would I suddenly start spamming when I actually enjoy talking with people here?

Secondly, if you aren't a mod (and maybe you are?) why do you have the authority to carry out this so-call "test"? Did you even look at the links I posted? They were actually related to the context of the original toot, and were only posted after someone asked for a source. Perhaps if I controlled the other account, or had access to some api or something, but quite frankly I'm too busy with research to care about shilling MLMs (or whatever these other bots are doing) on a site of people (hopefully) too smart to fall for it anyway.

Finally, do you think posting (sauce/source/spaghetti/Slovenia/etc.) without any context is going to get me to post another link? I mean, I suppose if I was a bot, then that may make sense...but this is exactly what a bot would say. Does passing the Turing test count as passing this bot test? :P

@Pat @lucifargundam I assume it means that you think I'm posting via some sort of automated script or something, but if you actually did your due diligence and looked into my post history *at all*, rather than slinging meaningless accusations, I think you'd be convinced otherwise. So I wanted to clarify your position rather than just immediately inferring you were being unreasonable.

I posted numerous videos along with the first link, because he asked for a source, so I provided a few since you shouldn't back up your claims with a single source, particularly if it's not an academic journal. At least, that's my preference since I don't think mommy blogs and unsubstantiated social media posts are particularly credible. Also, if you looked at the videos and the link, they are all related to the topic I posted, and on completely different channels.

I'm really more confused than anything about how your drew that conclusion, but quite frankly, I don't care; have fun trolling around qoto I guess.

@Pat @lucifargundam what is botspam?

@lucifargundam I'm assuming you mean the resin identifier code part.

Here are a few videos as well:

So, apparently the plastic recycling symbol isn't actually a recycling symbol. It's a "resin identifier symbol" (designed to look like the recycling symbol though, to confuse the public) and doesn't actually mean the material you put in the recycling bin is recyclable...which basically means all the due diligence we do to try to prevent environmental damage and personal bodily harm via micro plastic exposure is literally for nothing... Mircoplastics are in bloody fruits and veggies now somehow; we can't get rid of them, so clean eating is basically impossible.

When do we finally collectively pull our heads out of our butts and realize the lobbyists are nearly always the bad guys who sell the health of entire generations just to make a buck? I'm so done with this.

@freemo As a fellow huperchild, I couldn't agree more 😂

Please discuss. Trying to figure out what to use next; currently using Arch.

@trinsec @freemo I think there's a bit of nuance here, but from my (rather limited) experience, it seems that Europeans are more direct, explicit, and less "social for the sake of socializing" (with some notational abuse here) than Americans.

Hence, I think people who struggle in highly social, more implicit environments are more likely to be labeled autistic (as their behavior/aversion is easier to identify) than in environments with more explicit rules, restricted social interaction, and clearer communication. This effectively makes Americans more likely to be diagnosed (possibly due to skewed diagnostic criteria) than their European counterparts.

Just my two cents, and I obviously could be wrong

I heavily suggest checking out Jake Tran's channel.

I used to work in drug-development during my first doctorate program, and I think this is a pretty good "exposé" of the scummy insurance practices we see in the U.S. which substantially inflates our drug prices.

Thoughts?
