@lispi314 @AmpBenzScientist funny thing is, in practice, the latency is pretty much the same for email (hence so much 2FA)
@AmpBenzScientist Yep. Delta Chat does it very literally. But really all IM is very close to email; it's just something about its appearance that leads us to treat it formally.

I've said it before and will say it again: email is one of the best things technology has ever accomplished. Such a pity that IM over Email hasn't caught on yet, and the world feels chaffing fatigue like this

A very cool little example of the power of CSS animation and keyframes

CSS tip:
Did you know you can create a typing effect with zero JavaScript?

@icedquinn Tied to Mono. Does that mean it is C-based?
Focus/attention is sacred. Especially for developers.
Game dev in Clojure. In theory it should be able to leverage Java, JavaScript, or webdev ecosystems. Anyone know some leads? I have no idea what the standard in game dev tooling is these days; is it still Unity? Can it be done with React Native? What languages have great libraries?

A reminder that #Clojure has very fast computing libraries, which I used in building very fast #DeepLearning library. What good is it if you don't know how to use that? Fear not, I wrote 2 books, (2nd editions on the way). Buy a book and help me fund this

@carce yeah, the numerics, webdev, and database communities are robust and friendly. I am not a part of game dev in any language, though, but guess they would be smaller communities in Clojure. What languages have exemplary game dev communities to you?

First, agreement. Second, there is a lot of hate or confusion about the JVM, but what in particular is it bad for? Is it just confusing to Javascript/Python users? (This isn't a jab -- I really want to understand)

@AnnaGHughes I tried Common LISP many years ago. It felt a bit clunky but I could see the potential. Then Clojure came along and it’s pretty amazing. The main downside has been that it’s built on top of the Java VM which isn’t suitable for everything, but there are now other targets too.
VSCode isn't timeless enough. It needs to be more like emacs.

This morning I've jotted down some thoughts on the topic of making Emacs "modern" https://batsov.com/articles/2022/06/01/who-needs-modern-emacs/ So, who needs modern Emacs?

Why are people writing new editors when we already have the One True Editor? 😉 https://twitter.com/peterseibel/status/1531328395618836480

5 steps for an open source dev to find a husband or wife:
1. Upload a marriage certificate on GitHub
2. Make sure to put your name in it
3. Wait for someone to make a PR
4. If it’s acceptable, merge it
5. Is it legal? Well I mean they already committed to it…

Sometimes you see ugly code and you try to refactor it but after spending time you realize that the code can't be refactored, it *HAS* to be the way it is.
The problem lies elsewhere.
I'd wager it's the data model.
Your code is a slave to your data model.
@Albright WordPress may have ugly code, but it is a crucial player in my job between ecosystem and open-source
@greenCoder Unfortunately I need to conform with the masses on this one. Plus I still do some gaming. So mouses are necessary whenever I actually need a cursor pointer.
