Reading "Firewalls Don't Stop Dragons" it pointed out a major problem with biometrics: besides the obvious problems with physical disfigurement, you can never "change password" so data breaches can never be recovered. Once hacked or framed, forever.

In the past I've wondered about what other languages have a Clojure-style approach to "modeling": just use maps. It's @viebel who finally laid out in detail what this style entails in his book Data Oriented Programming. Good job!

I tried eww for a while, but found the system freezing during browser waits was a problem for exwm. I was very pleased when I switched to W3M for the same uses. I use them for read-only needs of the internet (which is a lot). The thing is, Firefox is GOOD at social media. For example, see the attached image, where each color indicates a different Firefox Container for each of my Mastodon accounts with their matching Twitter accounts, and a few others.

@debacle Me too, except with . But I do a lot in my browser, and that's where I miss my kill ring.

People are talking about the Lisp curse, while there is a new Java Logging Framework every other week 🙄

Is there a good way to have my system share a kill ring with ? There is cognitive dissonance in going to emacs, where I can cut multiple things and then yank the one that I want right here, to my browser, where I have to make sure the thing I want to paste is the most recent thing I copied/cut.

The only major falling I know of for social media web apps vs native is that it takes a couple more steps to "share to", eg share a photo to Twitter

predates the internet, and has answers to many emacs questions built-in with a sophisticated documentation/help system that defies "Just Google It." My goal this decade is to get used to this.

I'm a firm believer in protecting privacy. I'm also a believer in the ethical rightness of open source code and open data. The contradiction is not lost on me. Has anyone else faced this incongruity?

I've been collecting a list of famous programmers who recommend building stuff yourself instead of using a preëxisting stack, both to learn how things work and to do it better than an off the shelf thing could.

RT @janetacarr
Does anyone have any questions about or ? (Could also be general development stuff too)

Let me know if I can help 👇🏻

Deep Diamond library is ready for releasing, with recurrent neural networks (RNN) fully working on both CPU and Nvidia GPU! That's been a ride! github.com/uncomplicate/deep-d

Just tried out dragon (drag-on) for the first time. For an exwm/text-driven workflow, it is awesome for dragging a file into a web place! github.com/mwh/dragon

We are *extremely* excited to announce that XTDB's ‘Core2’ research repository is live! This is where we are plotting out our vision for XT's future (temporal SQL, Apache Arrow HTAP engine etc.)

github.com/xtdb/core2

Please star the repo to follow & support the journey! ⭐️🙏
