TIL: #Clojure code can run at (as opposed to _near_) #Java speed. Here we see the benchmark results of two of my Eratosthenes implementations, one in Clojure and one in Java (basically a port of the Clojure one).

Is this true? I mean, it it wasn't previously, it better be now!

@praveenkumar NOOO! With us, it wasn't a typo but a manual refactor. We originally requested -p but changed to -port
Sometimes with Figwheel I use (reset-autobuild) to cause it to rebuild the JS -- either to restart a broken thing, or usually to print for me the reason it broke. Anyone know the ShadowCLJS equivalent? #ClojureScript
@brandur At my team we've experimented with Mattermost and are now trying Zulip
How about those times when the error messages are bad? I don't mean too-little or too-much info; I mean WRONG info. It said, "error on line 43, in this context" and, having solved the issue, no, that was not the context, and the error was actually on 205.
@groovestomp I mentioned this to a friend, who wisely said "floor time is necessary."
@rostiger these notes are pretty awesome!
The true reason for conservative estimates of how long the feature will take:
1. "No problem. I can fix that in, like, 10 minutes."
2. Server permission issues, forgotten passwords.
3. Git config issues, this server doesn't have your SSH key. Github might not, either, and Github no longer allows access without keys.
4. File permission issues; file for your code is owned by Root.
5. Root doesn't have SSH keys set up for Git.
6. My 2FA setup just ran out of tokens, so I can't connect.
7. My VPN is failing with issue X. Can't connect to our remote server without that.
8. My browser issue Y where some content is invisible. Can't log in.
9. My editor is having an issue where the GUI fails for for reason Z. Must fix.
10. Our server admin just had a death in the family so is unavailable.
11. Our business is having a resource semi-freeze for the past month, so you can't have that URL you wanted.
Did I say 10 minutes?

With the rise of the lose-lose situation with the tension around censorship vs misinformation, #Humanities work -- which is centrally about critical thinking -- is more important than ever. I am privileged to straddle the boundary between Humanities and Tech as a programmer/Digital Humanities professional. For a long time the tech side has been the socially advantaged one because it lead to high-demand well-paying jobs while humanities has had an identity crisis trying to prove its worth to a public that wants to follow the money. But now, more than ever, that critical-thinking humanites education is crucial to society. These human problems that threaten our society, those poles of censorship and misinformation, are simply out of the scope of the tech thinking. But they are not going anywhere, and the only answer is to for individuals, who are the victims and the target of both censorship and misinformation, to learn those #Humanites skills.

Big yes. #Emacs dired rocks.

RT @_jonesian
emacs has a utility called dired that is a joy to work with. Renaming, moving around files, etc is all trivial with it.

https://issues.guix.gnu.org/52388
is merged and now all Emacs packages built with emacs-built-system in Guix finally has -pkg.el file and therefore explorable with M-x list-packages, C-h P and other related functions.
@groovestomp were you conscious?

What keyboard layout do you use?
Exactly. I get a kick out of the simple "deployment" . Plus. The Dev experience is really delicious

I started with Frontend and Clojurescript. It is nice bc you get visual feedback and can whip something together and show it around. Much easier to deploy too bc at the end of the day it's just HTML and CSS and JS. No server and no security which still scares me. 😅 https://twitter.com/yogthos/status/1487627644225167361

Is it fair to call all the data scientists non career-programmers? Not sure, but good point

In (non-native! That one sucks) full-screen mode, Emacs is quite a nice writing environment. I enjoy this more than having a floating window on a larger screen, actually.
The "Writeroom" concept is still amazing.
