It seems more like a satirical observation than a calculated goal to strive for. That's how I understood it when I first read it, and also when reading this article.

Popup with "Do you want to download <several lines of random characters> from tomshardware.com ?"

No thank you, and I won't be coming back.

What is your use case?

Do you have other examples of how it's nicer? I've only ever heard of Elixir being the nicer alternative.

I wonder how many actual terrorists they pick up for saying "I'm here for terrorism"

Happen to be a Dane and I fully agree with your sentiment. I happen to agree (I think) that keeping children away from social media on a large scale, to avoid social isolation for those who might opt out of choice, might be overall good for the children. But the means that will likely be required to do so are, like you say, essentially more steps towards mass surveillance. And like you say, laws that can be exploited so easily by a government in bad faith are so dangerous to allow into public law, even in times when exploitation seems unlikely, because they'll likely never be removed (hah) or even amended before it's too late. Like Chat Control (though it seems pretty clear to _me_ that that is set up for abuse to begin with). I'm so embarrassed we're spearheading that abomination.

In the readme, I only see four examples under each entry, and they are all dissimilar.

Am I supposed to read something into the choice that the examples for "light" and "dark" show icons for different entities? E.g Python is dark, Rust is light. (Kidding, but still - why not use the same base icons?)

I prefer good static heads vs poor walking and talking. Didn't notice the prior to be a problem in Andor.

Thank you for that, what a fun read :D

As I gained more experience writing Clojure, I went in the other direction; familiarity with the standard library means that any composition of those functions and data structures is easily grokked. People's strained attempt to name every little line of code? Not so much. You end up jumping around the code a lot and, in my case, suffer the "portal effect" where you forget the context of what you were trying to understand. Also, namespaces become polluted with functions that only serve as assistants to your main function. This is a lesser concern, but still, it dilutes the focus of the namespace.

A nice middle way is using let bindings for whatever you want to give clearer names. You get the name you want while reducing the reader's scope to the literal let binding.

I do agree that big functions can be unwieldy, but I think that if it's mostly core clojure fns, and you're experienced, much bigger sized fns are acceptable than name-everything advocates generally prefer.

But it's individual and an artful balance even if the only reader is yourself. There's no silver bullet.

I've made a few of these as doodles while waiting for other stuff. Great set of restrictions to inspire creativity.

Could it be that her work in pure, abstract mathematics, while important and foundational for some fields, remains too unrelatable for a wide audience?

Maybe the same could be argued for Einstein's work, but knowledgeable people, recognizing its importance, have found ways of explaining it in a relatable way... ?

It's not implicit in this case, it's explicit. + is the function you're calling. And there's power in having mathematical operations be functions that you can manipulate and compose like all other functions, instead of some special case of infix implicit (to me, yeah) function calling, like 1 + 2, where it's no longer similar to other functions.

What's an example of non-brute force scaling?

Ticktick was the closest approximation at the time of Wunderlist shutdown. Still solid, but haven't researched the market recently. I don't remember details about the Microsoft version except it wasn't good enough.

I wonder what the value is of that advice, it's so incredibly vague. What's "varied"? What's "moderated"? Feels a bit like an excuse to stay ignorant.

"Fear and anguish of parenthood" as a movie?

Seems to me like capitalism is pretty good at incentivising this stuff.

I don't understand the bit about the execution order, nor how it's relevant in your day-to-day programming.

"aluminosilicates"

Hmmm

Just want to add that I'm having a pretty good experience with Amethyst. No file-based configuration, sadly, but it does all of the tiling and movements I need.

Hammerspoon (via Spacehammer) seemed too slow for me.

How about a separate, schema-wise identical "deleted_x" table that you "move" deleted entities to? Can't get much more explicit than that, and still enables whatever joins you'd like on historical deleted data.

Off topic, and I hope it doesn't cause offense, but Im very curious; what do you find to be good domains to work with as a blind developer? As a nonblind web developer whose domain is highly visual, I'm sometimes irrationally worried that I'd be out of a job if my vision went for one reason and another, and it gets me speculating about what the programming life is like for blind developers. Other visual aspects that I'd maybe worry about are graphical presentations made by other parties in my org.

I would have thought it overkill to memory manage scrapers by hand. Do you need such succinct memory usage?

Get used to, and even good at rewriting. I enjoy it, and I realize that I may never have the best idea of what's appropriate at one point in time, but rather accumulate an approximation over time as I reshape the code to the best of my knowledge. And I develop tools and practices to aid me in refactoring faster and with more confidence. Most importantly, keep throwing yourself into it.

Danish is one.

In my language, there are decent books on the subject and informative and inspiring accounts on Instagram. Look for "baby signing", must be loads of English materials. We created our own extended vocabulary using English baby signing, lots of good words here: https://babysignlanguage.com/dictionary/table/

Like the GP said, helped us loads in communicating with our kid before he could talk, much to our shared delight, and, I believe, relieved a _bunch_ of potential frustration.

AKA legalizing murder for rich people?

How did you learn those skills? I wouldn't know where to start with such a project.
