@zulip Looks like my emails stopped getting through to my zulipchat.com instance for our US Monday holiday, and are not through yet. Do holidays knock things out?

Malli, Data Modelling for Clojure Developers
https://www.metosin.fi/blog/2024-01-16-malli-data-modelling-for-clojure-developers
Prologue Malli is a high-performance, data-driven data specification library for Clojure. It is widely used in the Clojure Community having millions of downloads and an active channel on Slack. This is the fifth post on Malli, focusing on new...

@worldsendless If you break up the parts of the problem:
1. For *running* the container, containerd is the default choice - it runs most containers in the cloud today
2. For *building* the container image, buildkit is a very good option
3. Running wordpress will need a DB and possibly a prebuilt image - 2 options for deployment model - you could do a single VM with docker-compose, or you could do a K8S cluster connected to a hosted DB
4. You can also find prebuilt Wordpress images online
No matter how much I required or load-file or check-parens, nothing explained why half a file of #emacs #elisp wasn't loading. Somehow the closing three `'")' had been stripped from two neighboring lines, and somehow the syntax had been balanced enough to satisfy the checkers. That was to hunt down.
Oi. The #Javascript fails in my #Hugo partial if I insert it at the top, not the bottom. And here I thought #JS was a #HoistedLanguage...

I'm looking for a game engine that I can use to make a simple game for my kids that will run in a RPI4 running #batocera . I looked at #RPGMaker but it doesn't let you do custom code. I looked at #solarus but that seems to need too much code.
I don't want to reinvent the wheel, but I want the freedom to add some custom logic. I would love if I could write it in #clojure or some other type of #lisp.
Well, that was weird. My dock had stopped charging my laptop. I switched cables around and charged other things (my phone) just fine. Then I bypassed by dock; USBC straight from power to laptop. still no charge. I restarted exwm. Still no charge. So I shut down my computer, seeing if it would charge while it was off. Bingo! Then I restarted my machine. It kept charging! Was it the computers USBC failing to carry charge? Was it my Totu dock failing to paso the charge to the PC? Was it my custom power brick being too smart for its own good, failing to provide power? I'm not sure. But for sure, #NewYearVoodoo. I hope that's the last time I need to use that hashtag.
In order to accomodate Github 2fa I've started using Jürgen Hötzel #emacs #totp https://github.com/juergenhoetzel/emacs-totp , which is a beta library leaning heavily on the ancient but unknown-to-me core #auth library https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/auth.html#Overview . As if it wasn't enough to know "emacs can do that," it turns out "emacs did that decades ago."

Filling this out for a former employee -- what's the difference between "Fired" and "Laid off"?
What #containerization solution is recommended right now for deployment, say of #WordPress? I understand #Docker is dwindling, but it's the only one I know. I know Guix has some nice features, but it's not portable enough for my student devs and my production environments.
It's funny how a little, long-standing #QualityOfLife improvement can make me feel so much better! Getting my interface to be always up-to-date and therefore trustworthy

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.

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):
