Fancy doing something new in 2022? My employer is looking for SA based devs to work on a media and video streaming Clojure stack. Let me know if you are keen. Prior Clojure knowledge is nice to have but being motivated to learn is just as important.

TIL of the affero version of GPLv3. I don't notice any meaningful differences, so I'm sticking with GPL proper. Thanks for introducing me, Gitlab! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affero_G

Extra notes from the comments: apparently the developer poisoned his highly-used codebase, MS Github fixed it and then banned him in retribution. Still, there is some lesson in this.

@carlschwan I never did get Caddy working for WordPress a few years ago... I love to hear it mentioned though

@valerauko Isn't that the beauty of it? I'm doing DOM parsing, so this replaces a horrifying ending of `</a></span></td></tr></tbody></table></div></section>`

I understand how those foreign to Lisp and can find things like this scary, but when it becomes associated with the ease of structural editing and scope clarity, you might actually find it beautiful.

Great pretty alternatives, but at the huge cost of losing composition capability

Everything about this post is factually incorrect.

For starters wealth is not equivelant to planetary resources nor is the quantity of all resources fixed. For example if i buy a farm and breed cows im increasing the number of cows and therefore creating wealth/resources that didnt exist before. Further i might be a seller of farm tech and invented and sold some technology that enables a person to support more cows on less land. Wealth creation is not and has never been directly dictated by the quantity of resources as if it were a fixed value

Second the idea that most of the rich come from affluent backgrounds is factually false. The majority of the rich, in fact, come from poor and middle class homes, ive cited several sources on my page proving this in the past.

The reason the rich dont destroy world poverty is several reasons, one is that wealth can be destroyed just as it can be created. So if they truly dumped all their monry into the poor, since these people are for the most part people with bad monry habits, it would destroy most of the worlds wealth and put us all in poverty. Second, there wouldnt be even close to enough money to solve the problem long term anyway, at best it would fix the problem for a short time. The only way to fix the problem is to get the poor to have good money habits so thry become wealth generators rather than wealth destroyers, this is a complex problem to fix.

Updating a previous post. Things I've learned awkwardly late: display connections (like HDMI) take considerable power to operate the connection (not even the device), and arandr is an extremely easy and useful tool over raw xrandr. orys.us/t-
