I've said it before and will say it again: email is one of the best things technology has ever accomplished. Such a pity that IM over Email hasn't caught on yet, and the world feels chaffing fatigue like this

A very cool little example of the power of CSS animation and keyframes

CSS tip:

Did you know you can create a typing effect with zero JavaScript?

Focus/attention is sacred. Especially for developers.

Game dev in Clojure. In theory it should be able to leverage Java, JavaScript, or webdev ecosystems. Anyone know some leads? I have no idea what the standard in game dev tooling is these days; is it still Unity? Can it be done with React Native? What languages have great libraries?

First, agreement. Second, there is a lot of hate or confusion about the JVM, but what in particular is it bad for? Is it just confusing to Javascript/Python users? (This isn't a jab -- I really want to understand)

@AnnaGHughes I tried Common LISP many years ago. It felt a bit clunky but I could see the potential. Then Clojure came along and it’s pretty amazing. The main downside has been that it’s built on top of the Java…

VSCode isn't timeless enough. It needs to be more like emacs.

This morning I've jotted down some thoughts on the topic of making Emacs "modern" https://batsov.com/articles/2022/06/01/who-needs-modern-emacs/ So, who needs modern Emacs?

Oh, I mentioned wanton macros as the enemies of readability. I forgot the other BIG one I had in Common Lisp: dynamic scope. Which you CAN do in Clojure, but I've only known two use cases. Dynamic scope is one of those ideas that was almost never good...

Summing up 20+ years of syntax debates: I want to write lisp but I don't want to read lisp

They left out the cond and condp tables. Lisp is the king of control statements :)

The 0.9.4 version (latest) of Bulma is missing their .list style, in both mini and full. I can't find any mention of this removal, so I am guessing it's a bug? #css

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.😊
