I'm in the process of making a Zulip install for work right now, replacing Slack in our organization after Mattermost has been unreliable Looking forward to it!

We use @zulip for realtime chat (at https://juxt-oss.zulipchat.com) and love it. This summary by @tabbott3 explains Zulip's sustainable, open source approach to longevity and sustainability.

The more I do webdev, the more I am amazed that WordPress is able to just start firing emails at first install. I do no setup; it just goes. So either all of my system admins are secretly taking care of all this for me, or PHP has some privileges the with local mail server.

A nice look from @_bsless at making clojure deliberately fast using transducers and non-abstractions. https://bsless.github.io/fast-and-elegant-clojure/

On the Visual Tools session of the @reClojure #DataScience Special, we had demos by @mauricio_szabo @djblue_live @v1aaad @metasoarous @daslu_ jsa-aerial & awb99, then a panel discussion.
The #Clojure ecosystem never stops innovating in this area.

"A Formal Semantics of SQL Queries, Its Validation, and Applications"
http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol11/p27-guagliardo.pdf
More delicious formal semantics and relational algebra equivalence. This time with a fun query generator for experimental validation against real-world SQL engines (pg and Oracle).

"#Clojure has a learning curve that leads to expertise, not better-beginnerness." — Stuart Halloway
Our #Clojure project meeting began with a recruiter question: "Why functional programming?" Also, awesomeness of HoneySQL and REPL. https://orys.us/yfunctionalreplsql
Great tech advice for project management and open source work from @dan_abramov on open source, community management, and large-scale projects with ReactJS. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1470613731071696896.html
@icedquinn trying to think in terms of, "could my applications use this?" and keep coming up with the answer, "I have no idea"
@icedquinn I just looked up Twisted and see a very similar description to Serveez. Still I am left wondering, what is it if not a web server?

The University sends out a message, "do a thing on Facebook or Instagram for a chance to win" and I delete the message. It's akin to asking to take a puff of marijuana -- true, it's not going to kill me. But it's utterly distasteful. What if tech ethics were part of worthiness interviews?
RT @WildFlyAS
WildFly does not depend on the Log4j 2 org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-core library, so we are not affected by CVE-2021-44228. If your application deployment packages log4j-core we recommend you upgrade ASAP.

"Data-Oriented Programming: A link in the chain of programming paradigms" by @viebel
https://blog.klipse.tech/databook/2021/12/10/dop-link.html
Interesting to ponder whether the computer history will view immutable data stores as a part of "Immutability For All" or another link in this chain.
GNU is very pleased to announce the release of their next version of Serveez, which is apparently a fast server framework. I'm happy for them; I like their work and how smart it usually is. But what I don't understand is, why? Is Apache not open source enough for them? Is it slow and, if so, which uses care? What about NginX, or Caddy, or is it more like Undertow or Immutant or Jetty? What even is this Serveez thing? https://www.gnu.org/software/serveez/
