First, agreement. Second, there is a lot of hate or confusion about the JVM, but what in particular is it bad for? Is it just confusing to Javascript/Python users? (This isn't a jab -- I really want to understand)

@AnnaGHughes I tried Common LISP many years ago. It felt a bit clunky but I could see the potential. Then Clojure came along and it’s pretty amazing. The main downside has been that it’s built on top of the Java VM which isn’t suitable for everything, but there are now other targets too.
VSCode isn't timeless enough. It needs to be more like emacs.

This morning I've jotted down some thoughts on the topic of making Emacs "modern" https://batsov.com/articles/2022/06/01/who-needs-modern-emacs/ So, who needs modern Emacs?

Why are people writing new editors when we already have the One True Editor? 😉 https://twitter.com/peterseibel/status/1531328395618836480

5 steps for an open source dev to find a husband or wife:
1. Upload a marriage certificate on GitHub
2. Make sure to put your name in it
3. Wait for someone to make a PR
4. If it’s acceptable, merge it
5. Is it legal? Well I mean they already committed to it…

Sometimes you see ugly code and you try to refactor it but after spending time you realize that the code can't be refactored, it *HAS* to be the way it is.
The problem lies elsewhere.
I'd wager it's the data model.
Your code is a slave to your data model.
Oh, I mentioned wanton macros as the enemies of readability. I forgot the other BIG one I had in Common Lisp: dynamic scope. Which you CAN do in Clojure, but I've only known two use cases. Dynamic scope is one of those ideas that was almost never good...

Summing up 20+ years of syntax debates: I want to write lisp but I don't want to read lisp

They left out the cond and condp tables. Lisp is the king of control statements :)

The 0.9.4 version (latest) of Bulma is missing their .list style, in both mini and full. I can't find any mention of this removal, so I am guessing it's a bug? #css
TIL that C# and the CLR in general actually can't do Tail Call Optimization. Does anyone know if this is the same reason that the JVM can't do it, so we have manual work-arounds is #clojure via (recur)? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/491376/why-doesnt-net-c-optimize-for-tail-call-recursion
Interesting little elevator pitch for a solution to many things. As a believer in, "leave state to the databases", this is great

After ~25 years of trying to get people interested in Datalog, it's been great to see an uptick in general interest. Credit for mainstreaming these ideas goes to Datomic, but that's led to many other cool uses, as can be seen in many of these talks.😊

Ask yourself before including new dependencies:
- can you really not do this in a few lines of code yourself?
- do they regularly scan for known vulnerabilities?
- do they accept outside PRs to bump deps?
- how many downstream deps does it have? what kind of shape are they in?

Just the thing I was looking for in a researched discussion of dynamic vs static typing . TL;DR there is a serious paucity of quality research on this, and there is no clear answer. Side note: static analysis tools are immensely useful to both statically and dynamically typed alike.

Watch this top spin
it flips over to spin on its narrow stem, during this inversion it changes the direction of the rotation
This inversion phenomenon, a feature of many spherical objects whose centre of mass doesn’t match their geometrical centre 1/🧵
