The power of regexps and emacs. Turn copy-pasted strings into #clojure data-structures of three items. This would be much harder without lisp syntax.

@veer66 Clearly Rich Hickey came from Java before Lisp :)

@veer66 Uh oh... that led me to confirm: it is `ceil` in c++, too. So history is to blame on all this convention!

@veer66 Right you are! Clojure must have just grabbed the same name as Java. Still confusing for those of us who have not used Java in a long while. metager.org/meta/meta.ger3?ein

@veer66 is `ceil` the Java way? (jvm is byte code, so not what we're typing)

Well, that was annoying. Clojure.math/floor must have an opposite, right? But contrary to normal style, I had to look up the documentation to find out why it wasn't "ceiling"

It seems that unit testing and private functions are opposed by convention in Cider and presumably other places -- a fact that can make TDD difficult since, hey -- I need to test that each line of the data spec is handled properly, but those shouldn't be exposed to library users. Solution settled on making a quasi-private namespace where we hide things that drive the main api functions -- technically still public, but documented for clients.

Recently I've been affected by mindful chats w/ @otfrom @kloimhardt @reborg @kiraemclean @TeodorHeggelund @lambduhh @metasoarous @ezmiller about community & knowledge building. Wholesome people are putting their thoughts into making things friendly. It makes me hopeful.

Y'all need to listen to this.

SO serves about 2 billion page views a month and 6k RPS

they don't use what the cool kids use. No micro services, no kubernetes.

Lot of fun to listen to. twitter.com/alexcwatt/status/1

Github: we won't do your branch protection rules anymore. You aren't secure... unless you pay us! 🤌

@Endless_WebDev Remember, citizen, if your FONT lacks a character, YOU lack character.

Always keep your fonts updated and registered.

Whoa! Just learned about Asymptote for vector graphic generation. It can produce SVG and is apparently great for web. This could be very useful! asymptote.sourceforge.io/index

@lina oh, no unicode involved. I don't know. I'll have to try it on my wife 😘

I have just reached the point at which I am so consistently grumpy about how complex it is to build and deploy secure, high-quality software that it is interfering w/ my ability to build and deploy said software.
