As a developer,

Do you? That's all. Just, do you?

I just want the same old exwm I've had for 3+ years, on top of a sweet GUIX setup. Why is this so hard? Gnome, is it your fault?

Years ago I demoted PHP in my reckoning because I was learning the #Clojure way. But it's past time I gave PHP a fair shake since a big chunk of my work depends on WordPress. What are some recommendations for learning resources or books about #PHP?

Yesterday I realized that mouse pads are a sign of age; they are unnecessary and actually obtrusive these days. They came from the era of ball mice and weak lasers. I mean, unless you have a textured surface that throws off the laser. How about you? Have you tossed the mousepad?

Here I am, typing on my laptop, which maps in at a whopping 80% or so. The stretch from ctrl or shift to my keys is so stressful! (missing my 40% Planck, though not quite enough to bring it upstairs for the evening)

Thoughts from Alex Miller (Cognitect, @puredanger) #Clojure vs the costs of static typing https://clojureverse.org/t/dynamic-types-where-is-the-discussion/8968/17

I just got a message stating, "Microsoft Teams works perfectly well from the web version, as it is almost exactly identical to the app." We shall see.

Oh, Zoom now you have browser plugins for Chrome and FireFox, so I might feel better about staying in my browser? No, that's not what I meant with the fact that I wanted conformance to well-understood and well-communicated browser boundaries. Are you just trying to prevent "view source"? Or are you once again producing backdoor code in your stuff? I guess we shall never know.

I am getting increasingly sick of Zoom. I have only found one live stream service that I like less. Basically, anyone who doesn't make you feel like a second-class citizen for using a secure, app-install-less browser is better.

Big agree on this. Dragan's work has been brilliant, and his books (and online tutorials) are excellent. If you want some giggles, look up his benchmark-wars with DeepLearning4J

Is #Clojure slow-ish? Compared to Java? No. Compared to C++ and #Python and #TensorFlow and #PyTorch. Still NO! Check out https://github.com/uncomplicate and https://dragan.rocks. Is it hard to learn to harness that performance? Not at all! …

I was wondering where the actual discussion of #Clojure static vs dynamic typing was at. The answers to my inquiry have sparked joy. https://clojureverse.org/t/dynamic-types-where-is-the-discussion/8968

"restart your REPL" is my new "restart your computer" for troubleshooting, apparently.
