#Clojure Is the Clojure REPL special? | http://redd.it/18m21bc

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.

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

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

Code only says what it does:

Implementing a web browser is literally impossible.

"The total word count of the W3C specification is 114 million words […]. If you added the combined word counts of the C11, C++17, UEFI, USB 3.2, and POSIX specifications, all 8,754 published RFCs, and the combined word counts of everything on Wikipedia’s list of longest novels, you would be 12 million words short of the W3C specifications."
