Does anyone know how Zoom manages its live captions? In house, or contracting some service like Google?
This week I am going to try "doom scrolling" my RSS feed (elfeed) instead of my social sites. Let's see what that does for my focus and time usage, and whether that helps or hinders my awareness of new helps.
I just became aware of org-drill for flashcard functionality in orgmode, from this person who used it practice guitar. It looks poised to join Spray (speed reading) as emacs tools that upgrade my lifestyle.

The power of regexps and emacs. Turn copy-pasted strings into #clojure data-structures of three items. This would be much harder without lisp syntax.

Well, that was annoying. Clojure.math/floor must have an opposite, right? But contrary to normal #clojure style, I had to look up the documentation to find out why it wasn't "ceiling"
It seems that unit testing and private functions are opposed by convention in #clojure Cider and presumably other places -- a fact that can make TDD difficult since, hey -- I need to test that each line of the data spec is handled properly, but those shouldn't be exposed to library users. Solution settled on making a quasi-private namespace where we hide things that drive the main api functions -- technically still public, but documented for clients.

Recently I've been affected by mindful chats w/ @otfrom @kloimhardt @reborg @kiraemclean @TeodorHeggelund @lambduhh @metasoarous @ezmiller about #Clojure community & knowledge building. Wholesome people are putting their thoughts into making things friendly. It makes me hopeful.

Y'all need to listen to this.
SO serves about 2 billion page views a month and 6k RPS
they don't use what the cool kids use. No micro services, no kubernetes.
Lot of fun to listen to. https://twitter.com/alexcwatt/status/1544876135711916035
Github: we won't do your branch protection rules anymore. You aren't secure... unless you pay us! 🤌

Whoa! Just learned about Asymptote for vector graphic generation. It can produce SVG and is apparently great for web. This could be very useful! https://asymptote.sourceforge.io/index.html

I have just reached the point at which I am so consistently grumpy about how complex it is to build and deploy secure, high-quality software that it is interfering w/ my ability to build and deploy said software.
We do soft deletes in PostGres with auto-generated views that permanently encode "undeleted" vs the raw table. But article's point of referential integrity is a big one.
Of course the first thing that came to mind on this is xtdb @xtdb_com bitemporal database, where built in soft-deletes are part of bitemporality (first class). It is mentioned exactly once in the HS comments so far.

A discussion about 'soft deletion' is currently #1 on HN! On reflection, "making soft deletes a first-class concept" feels like a useful way to frame 'bitemporality' for the uninitiated 💡
I'm looking forward to…
