So, fuck that. The Chinese gov are bullies, but now they're treading on my lawn (or the lawn where I host my things, and all other things of interest/importance).

What can I do? I already block ad tracking code in my browser with µblock. Can I send an email to some English-speaking representative of the communist party telling them to fuck off, and that I'll make sure to chose things not Made in China from now on?

To me, this seems pretty similar to Clojures lazy-seq. A seq is (afaik, I'm no expert Clojure guy although I enjoy it a lot) something with a 'next' value. A lazy seq basically can wait with returning the next object, and therefore be evaluated when it decides it's ready (like new data comes in, like a stream). Please let me know if I misunderstood this!!!

As a someone who does JS for my day job I'm really enjoying playing with Clojure in my evenings and weekends (like now, it's Saturday night 00:30 here in Berlin). A small part of me dreams about doing it full time ;).

This is very interesting for someone who dreams about making a text editor!

Swede & Avanza customer checking in. Can definitely recommend them. If you reside and Sweden, make sure to open a ISK, not an Aktie- och Fondkonto (stock & fund account).

Living in Germany and have not been able to find a bank with the same kind of service and reliability. Comdirect comes close, but not good enough for me to close my account with Avanza.

What if you start investing in a bad year then?
