Early American Chinese restaurant menus were designed to be parseable as SQL

If you learn and understand your fundamentals in a programming language, picking up new concepts becomes significantly easier.
Those concepts are also transferable to other languages. Prioritize the fundamentals instead of trying to cut some corners and ending up very confused.

I did it: I packaged #PyTorch for #Guix! \o/
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=dd55ad7ff896a0a099c669ef0b420ae2bcdb4498
It’s a thankless, tedious effort, and it goes against the tide when “pip install torch” just does the job.
But I don’t see how we can build secure, transparent, and reproducible systems without doing that sort of things.
A very excellent #clojure getting-started resource!

In other news, it’s been two weeks since I left JetBrains and joined @RoamResearch to continue working on Skija, JWM and Clojure UI.
Feels great so far, even more excited for things to come!

Tomorrow, let's blend the world of Functional and Logic programming? On a London Clojurians group next to you :D

Everyone is talking about Web 3.0 meanwhile I’m trying to make AI model using CSS. 🥲
@natecull what about rocksdb? Used by Facebook but seems benign. It backs my XTDB and is fast, key-value pair, totally local, built to be scalable.

I love exploring Open-source projects.
Look what I found in Facebook codebase.
Someone recently suggested that beginners spend a year "grinding every day" to master the language. Putting in the time is critical, but I don't think #Clojure #ClojureScript are ever a grind. They are too fun for that!
@Parienve I have never been as content with a theme as I am with Modus Vivendi. Then my cursor is red-orange and my highlight is #191970. My keyboard backlight goes back and forth between those two colors, depending on my mood.

One last time: custom styling radio buttons and checkboxes - Scott O'Hara: https://www.scottohara.me//blog/2021/09/24/custom-radio-checkbox-again.html
You will be able to style form inputs when rendered inline in Haphaestus. It's easier that way, I don't have to treat them as anything special!

Easy enough to to implement as a CSS variable...
@protodrew@merveilles.town I don't use brave, but isn't that take a little extreme? Many users may be okay with whatever its brand of open source video stuff

"Yet another way of writing CSS just dropped"
Frontend developers:
For Clojure as a 1st language it depends upon where you want to go. But here are great trail-heads:
- the best talks, most of which don't actually involve code: https://techyaks.com/clojure-all-tytop.html
- @yogthos list of beginner resources: https://gist.github.com/yogthos/be323be0361c589570a6da4ccc85f58f
- But most of all, the community: clojurians.slack.com, clojureverse.org, clojurians.zulipchat.com. That last one includes an awesome aggregator of all of them.

@Endless_WebDev Totally agree. I, like most? Clojurians, came from an OO background and was astonished when I found out that things don’t have to be inherently complex, and can be simple instead. A philosophy I now carry with me even when doing OO.
What is it if I match my keyboard backlight to my #emacs cursor and line-highlight colors? Is that OCD or just obsessive? Or is it madly stylish?
RT @groundedSAGE
Clojure first people. Resources out there are great compared from when I started. Things you learn just because it’s common language for Clojure folks puts you in another league. https://twitter.com/endless_webdev/status/1442147601269215236
