This might be the biggest emacs news I've been around for. I'm so excited that these folks tracked down this bug and made it right. 🙏

Great to see @logseq giving back to the community by becoming a member of @cljtogether 😃

@csepp because wrapping tabular text becomes a mess; one cell changing the layout of the entire table. It's fine if that's what you want to read, but if it's just one of many data in the table, we have issues.

hahaha. Yeah, I bet the Linux share holders would love that! If I contribute to my distro, do I get a cut?

My favorite linear algebra+ book so far. I find the book both comprehensive and approachable, with an endearing "by the way" style of writing to soften the heaviness of the subject.

(comment on "Vector calculus, linear algebra, and differential forms")

"can introduce naive people to IT". I am interested in arguments about whether this is actually a good thing or not (the fact that we are talking here on Mastodon might indicate our bias on this point)

Just enabled scrollbars for a buffer to see how far through the book I am; found that on my install, my =customize= for scrollbars isn't applying. Apparently you have to build emacs specially for this to work on a gtk system.

I gave a babashka (shell scripting, but Clojure) demo a couple days ago and one of the questions was, "Is it portable? Can it be used on different systems?" The short answer was yes, but the complete answer is that it's *more* portable than classic shell scripting

@alcinnz If only I could get the latest version on ! I used it for years previously

@veer66 @eqf00 Fascinating. And Clojure exchanges that FP value for others, holding that lists aren't a very good base data structure for programming.

A nice snippet demonstrating why I love in (GardenCSS). Every pre-processor gives you &, but being able to use assoc/dissoc to modify a map is pretty nice.

@icedquinn You have such excellent emoji-fu, but I must be missing something

So nitter.net/ is great if all you want to do is read Twitter. Sadly, interacting and conversations are still one of the most valuable things for me...

@eqf00 Thanks for the good reply! "Functional" deriving from mathematics (esp. Church) makes sense, and then I can see how that term could be adopted. I think your intuition about Rich Hickey wanting Clojure "more functional" makes sense. I can see that there are several senses of the term. Calling Lisp functional might be using an older sense of "functional" that predates the OOP vs FP contemporary discussions
