TIL that C# and the CLR in general actually can't do Tail Call Optimization. Does anyone know if this is the same reason that the JVM can't do it, so we have manual work-arounds is #clojure via (recur)? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/491376/why-doesnt-net-c-optimize-for-tail-call-recursion
Interesting little elevator pitch for a solution to many things. As a believer in, "leave state to the databases", this is great

After ~25 years of trying to get people interested in Datalog, it's been great to see an uptick in general interest. Credit for mainstreaming these ideas goes to Datomic, but that's led to many other cool uses, as can be seen in many of these talks.😊

Ask yourself before including new dependencies:
- can you really not do this in a few lines of code yourself?
- do they regularly scan for known vulnerabilities?
- do they accept outside PRs to bump deps?
- how many downstream deps does it have? what kind of shape are they in?

Just the thing I was looking for in a researched discussion of dynamic vs static typing . TL;DR there is a serious paucity of quality research on this, and there is no clear answer. Side note: static analysis tools are immensely useful to both statically and dynamically typed alike.

Watch this top spin
it flips over to spin on its narrow stem, during this inversion it changes the direction of the rotation
This inversion phenomenon, a feature of many spherical objects whose centre of mass doesn’t match their geometrical centre 1/🧵

I love Clojure not simply because of the language but because the community likes to think about interesting problems.

@worldsendless Funny thing is dynamic assertion and contracts do a lot more for bug-finding than static types that are generally a lot more limited than what contracts can enforce.
Of course you can have both, like Typed Racket which supports both static types and contracts.
I just want the same old exwm I've had for 3+ years, on top of a sweet GUIX setup. Why is this so hard? Gnome, is it your fault?

Yesterday I realized that mouse pads are a sign of age; they are unnecessary and actually obtrusive these days. They came from the era of ball mice and weak lasers. I mean, unless you have a textured surface that throws off the laser. How about you? Have you tossed the mousepad?
Here I am, typing on my laptop, which maps in at a whopping 80% or so. The stretch from ctrl or shift to my keys is so stressful! (missing my 40% Planck, though not quite enough to bring it upstairs for the evening)

I just got a message stating, "Microsoft Teams works perfectly well from the web version, as it is almost exactly identical to the app." We shall see.
Oh, Zoom now you have browser plugins for Chrome and FireFox, so I might feel better about staying in my browser? No, that's not what I meant with the fact that I wanted conformance to well-understood and well-communicated browser boundaries. Are you just trying to prevent "view source"? Or are you once again producing backdoor code in your stuff? I guess we shall never know.
