I've used zippers to edit parse trees. Very useful API, if a little user unfriendly.

Having moved into a home previously owned by a chain smoker ten years prior, I have no problem believing this. We've had to run ozonators in rooms repeatedly to finally get the smell out.

It's certainly been a massive financial hit to the greater Baltimore area, so that sounds appropriate. Insurance companies need to account for large shocks -- it's the whole reason their industry exists.

In what way have the TensorFlow or Cassandra teams adopted Clojure? They both have third-party Clojure clients, but neither appears to be using Clojure for their project's implementation.

Any good resources on how to use flakes? I'm currently experimenting with having home-manager work via a flake but I haven't come across any good HOWTOs on common operations. For example, I'd like to update the flake dependencies similar to how I used to use "nix-channel --update" to freshen the dependencies used by home-manager.

Let Over Lambda by Doug Hoyte was a compelling read for me, even though I don't work in Common Lisp that often. It's a very opinionated work that flies in the face of a lot of conventional Lisp practices (he loves his macros!) I don't necessarily agree with everything written, but having to think about why I didn't agree in itself made it a value-add to my book collection.

I hope that they adopt something along the lines of the Gumshoe RPG System that provides a little more depth to the investigative aspects. Blade Runner shouldn't be just a combat-based shoot 'em up; it demands attention to its roots in noir detective fiction.
