There is always some really fascination software archeology to happen when one starts tapping in to the history of #emacs. Like, `gnus-uu-decode-binhex`. What in the world is that for?
Oh. xscreensaver only partially supports ~/ for your file path -- enough for you to think it is working in some places, but failing when it counts.

Software developers (not @phil_eaton) are being gaslit: writing code and solving problems are bad things to do, and consuming big name libraries is a good thing to do, all under the façade of "trade-offs", "economics", "efficiency", "cognitive load", and/or another cliché. https://twitter.com/phil_eaton/status/1581256506602708993

@worldsendless I love artist mode but, as I don't use it frequently enough, I have to relearn it each time. Ending a polyline always gets me.

Do you know of any good resources on OWL (Web Ontology Language)?
@otfrom I don't see that as an option in my cider commands. Was it recently added?
The vscode "evaluate the thread up to point" was really cool. Does anyone know an equivalent in Cider? #clojure
I attempted to use #emacs artist mode to white-board the server-client-middleware-db full-stack archetecture during a video call, but failed. It's been too long since I flexed my ascii-art muscles.
@icedquinn I don't get their pitch either, but I enjoy the game (enjoyed the first one too, with some major caveats)

@peterdrake yes, in Clojure-like inter-opping lisps, Null ≅ nil is the ONLY falsy value, so it is easy to just say `(if x)` to cover that logical state. No need to check equality; just check it itself.
#ClojureScript #ShadowCLJS One of my projects for the past year has been converting an old PDF multimedia app into a static web site. Since #Clojure is better than raw HTML or CSS, I crafted it there before grabbing the output static stuff. It is 99% JS-free, except for optional media lightboxes, and is built to last as long as HTML does, and to run as simply as possible. #ClojureScript #ShadowCLJS
@peterdrake as a happy Clojure dev I find myself wondering, why should developers want to write "if x != 0"? Why is it any better than "if x != 'cat'"? And why should language designers treat it specially?
@davep @peterdrake Interesting that in Clojure boolean only exist for interop purposes. Is it really a necessary type?
@peterdrake is zero true for C compatibility?
My University is finally moving away from ol CAS authentication and moving to our choice of SAML or OIDC. Which should I choose?
@schemer I think the hosted-language, JS/Java interop factors are Clojure's biggest win vs The Lisp Curse.
Scheme lover? Are you on Guix? That is why I'm trying to learn some Scheme

In Python, True is 1, False is 0, and 2 is true.
(Thank @mayuutann for showing me that 2 is truthy)
