At some point (I missed the memo) #xtdb stopped espousing #datalog and invented #xtql. I'm guessing this was to step out of any annoying dependencies of datalog and dampen comparison with the other major datalog approaches in #Clojure.
https://docs.xtdb.com/intro/what-is-xtql.html I especially enjoy the side-by-side Clojure/JSON comparisons here

Just wanted to pop in and say how much I love #mastodon, the #fediverse, #activitypub and all the great things arising out of the social media dumpster fire of late.
Love seeing the re-wilding of the internet, the rise of blogging and RSS again, people posting things they’re interested in versus trying to take advantage of some algorithm…
Looking forward to seeing where this is all going in 2024 and doing my best to help along the way.

what is #TMSR? I clicked the hashtag and am still not sure. Something about Sodium?

When we're as surrounded by streaming platforms as we are now, it's easy to forget that the DRM-free life still exists. Even now, there are dozens of record labels, publishers, and online retailers that refuse to abuse their customers. Learn about them in the Guide: https://u.fsf.org/1lr #EndDRM #DRM

@worldsendless @kramo Here you are, I've submitted a brief feedback on the #Hyperplane concept as far as I understood it without trying the Flatpak on https://github.com/kra-mo/hyperplane/issues/2

No matter how it shakes out at OpenAI, one thing is clear: all of the leading AI companies are firmly for-profit entities and the illusion of OpenAI as a nonprofit optimizing for humanity is gone.
My latest for New York Times Opinion imagines what it would take to truly build AI in the public interest (spoiler: it could look like public libraries, but for compute):

@freemo and now I am good on the mstdn.games server, so I assume that all QOTO is unlocked!
@kramo this seems like the kind of thing that @publicvoit probably has a take about, and might even support (based on his #PIM thoughts)
this reminds me of the "1 percent" quote that hurt Romney's run so much. Too bad Trump is probably immune
Whoa. I just followed someone and their instance said how many followers I have. I didn't even know that could be counted on Mastodon

I really loathe when people say blanket statements like "Learning from X is not effective"
People learn differently. Saying "Learning from books is not effective" may be true for you, but not for someone else
I don't learn well from video content
I learn great from exercises and small tests and yes, books
You *should* learn what your individual team members styles are and enable them to have resources that work for them
Yep; just verified. Weeks of annoying error message (actually probably years, but I didn't have a viewport on the output) and it was all ended with a `exit 0`
I have some scripts still in bash rather than #babashka because all they are doing is calling other programs. But the one that is in my #guix #mcron was apparently suffering for lack of controlled #ExitStatus. Oi, Bash, I never knew thee.

Code only says what it does:
@mhoye Ah! That clarifies things. But aren't things like AWS filling a real need?
@mhoye I've never come into contact with computer rental. I guess my university rents chromebooks and some laptops; is that it?
@clojurediary I hadn't made it so far as to see any icon at all. I just read the word "printing things". Thanks for the response!
@clojurediary Still on my to read list. Just realized I'm not sure -- I assumed he meant printing things on paper, but he might mean Hello World"
