Scheduling group meetings. I used to like Doodle, but they have descended down the Freemium path of obnoxiousness, so framadate.org/ framadate looks really nice -- and free-open intentions are written into their MO.

@kiraemclean Agree! If you happen to be on the lookout and want to work in Clojure on a large open source and mature product check out @metabase - we’re hiring! metabase.com/jobs/

@veer66 oops. Glad you understood my mistake. r/templates/prototypes/g

@icedquinn The idea being that you are only ever dealing with a smaller piece of the blockchain, rather than all of it?

@icedquinn Yeah, I totally get that. But it seems like space concerns are going we way of hierarchical directory structures; that is, kids these days don't know anything about them.

@icedquinn Interesting way to look at it. I was using XTDB (then, Crux) before I knew what blockchain was. Truth be told, I'm still not sure I know what blockchain is. But I think they definitely agree with you: xtdb.com/blog/blockchain-witho

@icedquinn Yep. A beautiful artifact of immutability. I have never seen them market that fact, but as someone who has gone to pains to implement soft-deletes in half a dozen PostGres systems after wishing we had it, this default with XTDB is nice.

There are probably some people out there who get annoyed that #Telegram doesn't "hoist" United States to the top of its otherwise alphabetical country account selection box. Personally, I find it a refreshing reminder that we are not privileged users here.

Fantastic , really! I especially enjoyed speci-fish-ity estelle.github.io/CSS/selector

if you are into CSS, I can't tell you how fantastic of a resource estelle.github.io/CSS/ is. I made it a few years ago. Interactive examples of almost every CSS property. Enjoy.

The question: Implement Promise based memoization with a given cache size behaving
as an LRU cache with an expiry time and auto cache burst.

Me: crying in the corner and burning my programming books

Built-in soft deletes are one of the reasons I like XTDB

@veer66 I've heard of Lua, at least. That's not much company for JavaScript in this idea, though

Zulip doesn't do anything that a good email setup can't do. But it does it beautifully for those who can't go through the work to get that email setup. It also provides archives that can be handy to newcomers; I don't know how to do that with an email system.
