Thank you for disclosing that you fight such legislation. I don't know if that means you're a lawyer for Apple or another firm that is fighting Right to Repair. As a consumer, I am for repairability. Maybe my perspective would be different if my annual bonus depended on increasing the number of units sold every year.
No, at least not back then. Otherwise we might have an official branch or PR already. I didn't really follow up on this, this was just a quick hack session to see if we could get something like "lein version" or "lein deps" or something to run and compare the speed.

One main problem I also see is the distribution. Currently leiningen only needs "some sort of java executable" and then the rest is pulled in. So would you have to have GraalVM installed or could this also be bootstrapped.
From big co perspective, absolutely true. Tons of other priorities to get out of the door than paying on time. Our invoice process was dreadful. Thinking back, if a vendor made it easy for us, we might always pay on-time!
Thanks for the recommendations, I'm a huge fan of Borges. However, 'The Wind Up Bird Chronicles' didn't fascinated me and it was somewhat a chore to finish it.
It's not all unicorns though.

Performance can vary quite a lot from task to task, also compile times suffer a lot and you lose some dynamic features.

So from what I understand it might be useful for clojure cli apps, but at this point I am not sure it brings a lot, but this is early days.

The cool part is the polyglot capabilities imho.

Then there's the elephant in the room: the licensing and potential changes in the long run.

For clojure if you want decent cli/startup experience there's always cljs, lumo or you can go with something like fennel-lang, a clojure looking lisp that "transpiles" to lua(jit), so 0 overhead compared to lua and super fast startup.

> NL is 2nd-largest food exporter (in a bunch of markets) in the world, after US [1].

No it's not, it's a relatively tiny food producer with high yield rates per unit of area. Take their best yielding crop, tomatoes, they're not even in the top 10 producers worldwide. Uzbekistan produces more tomatoes than we do.

We do have high yields, but that's mostly for food that are 96% water like tomatoes, as there's barely any solids to grow, you can just stack em in a greenhouse. Nothing too innovative going on there, in potatoes for example we're well below the number one in area-efficiency.

And even the high yields in things like tomatoes or cucumbers isn't special in any way, it just optimises for area. The US has about 30 people per square kilometer, the Netherlands has over 400. Some countries don't have a priority for production density because they literally have 10-15x as much land. Besides, the vast majority of agricultural land is used for livestock anyway, if you take meat out of the equation, we could feed tens of billions of people easily. That's really where the problem lies, in meats. The source of all issues in production really lies with us, in our diets. You could spend less money if you ate better food as long as we all cut your meat consumption, and to get there we need to start pricing in all externalities because right now we a high price pay for shitty food we shouldn't eat through our taxes, and then overconsume by paying a low price in the supermarket after subsidising it with said taxes.
Nobody said anything about 15 feet but you. If you're pulling over in a normal heavy downpour with 500 ft of visibility, you're less safe than the people who continue to drive. Being pulled over to the side of any high-speed road is an unsafe condition that should be avoided.

Self-driving cars would be putting lives at risk if they just pulled over and shutdown on every summer thunderstorm.

Valid point, but to a degree I still see this for the whole Java ecosystem.
Many people over the last 20 years were dissuaded from using Java just because of the looming Oracle "threat".

I'm not advocating to make GraalVM a mandatory dependency, just saying this could be an interesting project for people who are annoyed at the status quo, and there are a lot of startup speed complaints.

Unfortunately my day job has nothing to do with any JVM or Clojure anymore, so I can't divert any time there.

If you do arithmetic's it's converted to Number, if you concatenate it's converted to string. It's however unfortunate that + is used for both concatenation and addition. The advantage is flexibility and convenience. You can for example have functions that takes almost anything as input and does what you want, so that you do not have to tell the computer in detail what types to use.

For example in Node.JS callback convention the last argument is always the callback functions, even if the function takes 4 arguments, you can put the callback in the 3:rd argument and it will figure out which one is the callback function. Then the first parameter in the callback function is either null or an Error.

Another example is RegeExp where you can write if( str.match(/foo/) ) instead of if ( str.match(foo) === null )

It's also convenient that empty strings are "falsy" which allow you to write if(!foo) instead of if( foo==="" || foo===undefined || foo===0 )
I have done some work with a good friend and his company which is located near Naples.

No, this won't happen.

That place is pure chaos. It is closer to a so-called developing nation (ethiopia, guatemala) than a "European Country". It is filthy, garbage everywhere, chaos drivers, mafia infiltrating everything; Nothing really works as well as it should; absolute corruption at every level of society.

Sure, Naples has a beautiful city center, and there are some impressive technical universities around. But this is not enough.

Americans are a small percentage of the world market, and Americans buying flagship smartphones an even smaller percentage of that market.

Sigh, I know there is interest in learning, but there are a few things that (IMHO) don't follow the best practices.

For example - pickle for saving numerical data. Please, use h5py. Pickle can save any Python objects... and execute any (also - not-python) code. Or in general - you load a pickle, and cannot guess what had happened. With h5py - you have a tree of numerical objects, nothing more, nothing less.

Fo those reasons, I use pickle only when there is no other way to go - i.e. Python objects that cannot be serialized into anything language-agnostic. For saving purely numerical data, h5py is my way to go (http://docs.h5py.org/en/latest/quick.html).

My mentors were based in Ireland, one was Managing Director of the European Software Centre for a huge computer hardware company and another was president of the university in my city. In Ireland education is mostly financed by the government and I suppose they couldn't see the market. I live in Thailand where the only good schools are private so I saw things from another perspective. Yes, the management and support fees could have supported the business if I focused on private schools who were willing to pay a few hundred dollars a month.
Changing the clocks twice yearly is disruptive but keeping it only in the northern reaches of Europe so that children can walk to school in the winter light is even more disruptive.

You can’t have everything but at least you can use the changes to move towards a society where kids get up later and parents can work more flexibly. You need to start somewhere. Or are you disputing the benefits of more sleep for children and flexible working for adults?

Yeah, but I don't see anyone rewriting leiningen in cljs anytime soon.

> I think it's largely a zero sum game

If I get your point right, I think that depends on a few things:

(1) how much the 'Trump's rural base' in question depends on the Chinese market for their exports (not as much as the reverse IMO);

(2) Whether US cos. will be able to take advantage of the higher tariffs on China made goods and hence sell more (therefore increase / stabilise employment);

(3) If it doesn't really impact imports from China, and Americans just end up paying higher prices due to the tariffs, then how the GOV uses this new income from the tariffs? This could be used to strengthen local industry and increase employment, etc.

> which China is doing

China was doing this either ways by levying high import duties on products brought in to China, while US practiced free market and low key became somewhat of a victim to subsidised Chinese manufacturing.

That is not true. I get regular updates and my phone is not a Pixel but from one of the top 3 smartphone makers in the world. Maybe in the US the situation is different since carriers have a say in the update cadence, which can also be good since there were a few models where the OEM agreed to a certain SLA for updates, so American consumers got updates where the rest of the world got shafted. I believe it was LG.

Most of that pollution is coming from diesel engines in the form of particulates. Which the EU happily allowed so as to reduce CO2 emissions. Which they're backtracking heavily on at the moment. Not to mention that cars by themselves are a very small part of overall pollution today, compared to good transportation and factories.

Well I do disagree with this part, see other sibling comments (not by me). I'm not even sure GraalVM is really production-ready, notwithstanding the potential licensing and long-term issues.

I do agree it's at least worth trying.

In Spain, people typically do stuff at and beyond midnight (some drinks, partying, etc) and this is absolutely a non-issue. Everyone assumes "Saturday night at 12:30" to mean what technically is Sunday, 00:30.

The 1:00 there refers to 1:00 of the 21st and the 7:00 refers to 7:00 of the 21st. No one would appear there the previous day.

>We have been operating under the assumption that "filter bubbles are bad"

The entire premise of Reddit is that filter bubbles are the solution. You get to create bubbles for your own views called 'subreddits' where you can moderate out any wrong-think until the remaining subscribers reinforce the correct-think with their upvote/downvote mechanisms.

A system that operated under the assumption that "filter bubbles are bad" would not allow its members to upvote/downvote each others' content so simply.
Withings Releases First New Smartwatch After Purchasing Itself from Nokia

There’s also a slightly updated analog watchface on the embedded digital screen that shows your health data and app notifications, plus a new silicon wristband."
