One of the treasures I looked forward to in GUIX was seeing my exwm setup, which I've used and refined for three years, become even more awesome. With shocked dismay it has been just the opposite -- gnome refuses to play nicely with it, and the OOB implementation utterly refuses to recognize my customizations, or my monitors, and is woefully undocumented. But I have a plan!

Yesterday during scripture study with my wife I she prompted an insight connecting Emacs buffers and temple ceremonies, and it was an insight with a vanishingly small shareable audience...

@wazound We're close to v1 of our product being ready and have already used it to make a fully scalable clone of the classic Twitter product in 1.8k lines of code (~99.8% reduction in code compared to Twitter's actual implementation). Once v1 is ready we'll be starting a private beta.

My organization seems intent on abandoning anything related to open standards. They are dropping WSO2 for something called Tyk. How worried should I be?

I've used hiccup exclusively for html generation over the past 5 years. I just can't bring myself to be happy with anything using raw html stuff, since xml is not only needlessly verbose, but unnecessarily brittle by nature of its design. Don't ask me where to put the </a></li></ul></div>. Just ]]]] and I can rearrange however I want, quickly or with full access to regexps. Clojure syntax (hiccup, edn) is more than just convenient -- it is superior to html for most tasks, for reasons including the regexp compatibility and easy structural editing.

The Internet was supposed to free us from gatekeepers, the so-called "tastemakers" who judged what was worth seeing and hearing.

Instead, the gatekeepers have become algorithms, and thus something as human as taste has now become automated.

It's kind of tragic.

But one big reason I prefer the Fediverse over Twitter, for example, is that there is no algorithmic gatekeeping.

So maybe the dream is still alive.

This is gorgeous. Next time I hear the "why emacs?" debate, I might just answer, "buffers."

There's so much more to Emacs's buffers than meets the eye.

Philosophically, the buffer concept underpins everything about Emacs and Elisp. Without buffers, Emacs would've turned out very differently.

I loved this dive into why Emacs uses buffers and how that simplifies things for tinkerers. twitter.com/mickeynp/status/15

Sometimes the internet really comes through. I am just thrilled by the response to my call for resources about the dynamic vs static types debate, its intelligence and lack of toxic criticizing or dismissing.

Nice illumination! Seems pretty arbitrary compared to the #() lambdas I'm used to with
