I work chiefly on shared servers, but I know that this is an increasing rarity in favor of virtual servers like AWS, Heroku, etc. Are Java application servers on the way out thanks to this trend? Or do they offer something that simply spinning up a virtual server for my app alone would be missing?

People be like "Rust? You only need that if you want to write apps that don't need a garbage collector. Most apps are fine with a garbage collector" and then you run a Rust CLI app and the user experience is INSTANT and IMMENSELY GRATIFYING
@lunch interesting! How does that look? There is also a `(comment )` form in Clojure
Gradual typing for the win!

Has anyone else had MOA and Twitter just stop talking to eachother, for unknown reason? I was using MOA on 3 accounts, but apparently now only 2. https://gitlab.com/fedstoa/moa/-/issues/30 #noxp
@souldessin Really? It's been a few years since I used Drupal, but I liked it. Did they get rid of it?
Apparently WordPress has a sophisticated language besides PHP, which exists in the comments and has its own syntax. I can't find the docs on it. I still appreciate what WordPress does, but... EWWWWWWWWWWWW! 🤢🤬😱

You're about to build a new web app UI, using #ClojureScript.
What CSS framework / library do you use? Why?
(Been happy with Bulma by @jgthms for close to 5 years, wondering what the landscape is like today)
Asynchronous team communication: like email or Zulip, the ability to have sequential comms without having to be simultaneously present. ie, "not at the same time."
Asynchronous computing: like threads, the ability for things to run in parallel without waiting for eachother. ie, "at the same time."
Am I the only one who runs in to confusion with this contronym in semi-technical discussions? "Let's solve this asynchronously."
I am really annoyed by things that insist you use their app rather than taking pride in their a well-done web-app -- but I am downright INFURIATED by things that actually refuse to work without their app, not even attempting a basic CRUD REST webapp. Just got a scare that way with Class Dojo, but they actually seem to have a begrudgingly working web app.

yet another nixos article that talks about its downsides (like the custom programming language) but never mentions guix. do they just not know it's an option?
@freemo What a great hobby/passtime/passion! Knowing nothing about SCUBA, is it pretty standard to have exposed arms/legs? Seems like you might face temperature/abrasion discomfort? (disclaimer: I like to stay covered even on regular days in open air)
Magic numbers that automatically prompt a google copyright takedown. This feels like the sort of non-sense that might come from the same kind of neural networks that might think a cloud is a bus, but they are right often enough that we use them anyway. https://www.androidpolice.com/numbers-violate-google-drives-terms-of-service/
Im working through this book right now , enjoying it. "Tell me you're a Clojure programmer without saying you're a Clojure programmer" is a great approach for a book , it turns out

Have you noticed that Twitter have updated their algorithm a while ago to give lower relevance to tweets containing external links? I guess they really want people to never leave their platform.

Thank you @cognitect & @nubank for backing up the work we do at Lambda Island via Open Collective, we heartily appreciate it! 🎉 🙌😊

I'm blown away by this.
It's one of those things that's blatantly obvious only AFTER you know it. https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1485754314551349257

In this post, @reborg is going to take us through an initial overview the new Clojure 1.11 iteration function including a few practical examples. Enjoy! https://www.juxt.pro/blog/new-clojure-iteration

This blog post features a clojure notebook solution in 62 lines of code. The code also happens to run with #babashka which allows you to write self-documenting script notebooks :)
