@plexus
There's a #Clojure #transpiler that can target #Rust: https://github.com/echeran/kalai
@souldessin I have found value in others doing it when I am tuned in to the same program as them but I missed something. I am always glad when someone else caught it
@worldsendless@mastodon.online interesting that Twitter gets an image preview of this (even when it is crossposted) but #mastodon does not. Anyone know why?

@worldsendless Muting users is the best. You can mute for a short period of time or indefinitely.
You can also set up filters on your account settings to remove it.
Or, just keep your live-tooting in a thread and make all but the first toot "unlisted". That way people can turn off replies in their Home and they'll only see the first in the thread.
@LouisIngenthron other than muting a user, do you somehow just block a keyword, or how?

Forgot the name of a function I don't use often, but needed now. inter... what was it?
re-find to the rescue!
#LiveTweeting seems to be a practice that is uncomfortable to some #Mastodon users, who curate their feeds to avoid noise. How do you feel about #LiveTooting of events as they unfold?
@souldessin nextcloud -- that's the new OwnCloud? Actually I haven't used those for a few years. Thanks, though! I'm pretty excited about Feeder for #rss though

In the coming weeks I'll be live streaming implementing ActivityPub using Clojure! Planning to stream a few times a week.
I'll probably do my first stream tomorrow morning (somewhere around 7~8am UTC), but it will be episode zero, i.e. a messy stream where i sort out my setup and other prep work. First proper stream will be on Friday!
I'll post updates and stream times here. Official hashtag: #ActivityPubInClojure
Ah! I got an Android rss feed reader that can pull in my opml files cleanly. What's more, it holds free² values, so no adds or centralization! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nononsenseapps.feeder.play&gl=US #Feeder #RSS #NoNonsense #opml

emacs, lisp, guix, guile, scheme excitement thread
@cwebber Yay! Power and freedom! #emacs, #guix and #lisp allow me to bend reality to whatever looks good to me and gets the job done. No weird contraints imposed by language designers to hold me back or make we feel like I'm "doing it wrong". Both #emacs and #guix have some weird point of no return and passing it is almost a physical experience. #clojure for business hours and #scheme for spare time.

Remember when always-listening Amazon Alexa was going to be inevitable?

How about Google Glass?
Big Tech PR always tells us that each new #SurveillanceCapitalism technology is somehow going to be inevitable until…it isn't.
Today's "inevitable" surveillance is #adtech built into web browsers. Maybe it will be the next ALPR and actually get widely deployed, or, maybe it will go the way of other once-inevitable surveillance systems

An interesting article on how to use #babashka in git hooks!

#AdventOfCode teaches you the rarely used parts of your language. I grep'd our ~100kloc #clojure code base and noticed that not a single time we use `reductions`. `frequencies` we use 4 times. When doing #AdventOfCode those functions are frequently used!
