Clojure is just really niche. Even an ecosystem that stays the same size overtime is dwarfed by the continually growing, continually polished competitor ecosystems that will pull people from the small niches.

The best things about Clojure are things you don't really appreciate until you've already done the work to learn them.

For example, I never would have known how amazing it was to evaluate code inside the editor until I did the work of learning Emacs + evil-mode + nrepl/cider + whatever so that I could spin up my http server in-process and then modify code without restarting everything. Even today I'm doing `nodemon index.ts` like a goofball.

I stopped using Clojure simply when I met someone who wanted to build some big projects with me and, despite appreciating that Clojure was probably amazing, they simply couldn't be bothered to learn it. Fair enough. It was when Javascript was just getting `yield` coroutines (before async/await) which finally made Javascript bearable for me enough to switch to it for server work.

Clojure just has increasingly compelling languages and ecosystems to compete with, yet it has a huge ramp up, being a lisp, that make it hard for people to choose it.

Just consider how, to even write Clojure comfortably, you really need something like Paredit. Else, what exactly are you going to do if you want to nest or unnest a (form) deeper in the ast structure? Manually rebalance parens? Cut and paste it? Only Paredit lets you easily move a (form) around the ast. And it's amazing but yet another tool you have to learn just to truly evaluate Clojure.
Well... if you run owncloud (or any other alternative in fashion) you need off site backups and a plan for disaster recovery to match what an external service can offer. Backup machine or funds to get one at short notice.

If you use a 3rd party service they'll handle that too.

It's not the initial setup that's the problem.
Huh? Every car from 1960-2010 managed to provide intermittent wiper controls that were straightforward to use.
And the mechanism is clear, if you think a judge committed some crime (or even an ethics violation that doesn't quite meet the proper definition of crime).

Impeach them.

The trouble with this is that some people want immediate results for their political whims without putting any work into it, without spending any political capital over it.

The tactics that have been used so far really do smack of limiting the power of the courts. This is understandable, in that the people wanting to do that see a Supreme Court filled with justices they do not agree with politically. If those people were to succeed, they will discover in 10 or 15 years that they did not have the eternal control of Congress that they thought they did, but they will have hamstrung the other branch of government that might have put a stop to the worst of the nonsense.

And that holds true no matter which party you think I'm talking about. It's "filibusters are inconvenient to me right now, let's get rid of them forever!" all over again.
The court is corrupt. They may not realize it, but that's what this is.

You're completely right about platform-native accessibility APIs.

To be honest, AccessKit itself doesn't support lazy accessibility trees for virtualized scrolling, at least not yet. It can avoid constructing the accessibility tree completely if the platform accessibility API isn't queried at all, but there isn't yet a way to only partially construct an accessibility tree while indicating that there's more available on demand. So to some extent, I guess AccessKit brings this web performance problem to native.
I am starting to use ChatGPT as my guide rather as an answer to my problem. AI can easily help clean your thoughts and direct you in the right direction.
ChatGPT could also help in wording questions that you could ask to professionals you know or through forums.
I gave Siri a lot of time and forgiveness before writing it off as an interface to set timers and literally nothing else, and even that Siri fails often enough to annoy me. I can imagine there’s a happy medium for other people, but I’m unsurprised that with as big a workforce Apple has now, there’s a contingent there with exactly the same opinions as a lot of us out here. Siri sucks, unless it doesn’t for you, but it still sucks for the rest of us.
This game of cat-and-mouse has existed for at least as long as I've been in school (21 years ago). Back then it was calculator games, finding an unblocked flash site game, or booting games off USBs. One of the best weeks ever was when we got Unreal Tournament (the original) to boot off USBs and work on the LAN. ~20 person in-class deathmatch games were wild.

> At least Siri doesn't pester you to buy various things or to use it for additional purposes like Alexa does as far as I know.

I was pretty happy with Alexa until they started that crap. Retired it immediately. Now I only have a HomePod but even on this I have Siri disabled.

I believe you’ve misunderstood my intent. When I speak of the pure canvas approach, I mean throwing away almost all that the browser gives you, and rendering everything in a single canvas, with fake scrolling, fake links, &c.

For individual widgets like data visualisation, go ahead, use canvas if you want; I won’t complain—though make sure if you have any links in it that you have actual <a> links on top of the canvas for the user to interact with. And also consider if you can SVG. Anyway, individual canvases are fine; but don’t put everything in a single canvas.

Things like Google Docs and Figma are often cited as examples of how canvas-based rendering can be not bad, but neither are pure canvas: the user interface of both is full DOM, and it’s only the document area that’s canvas. (Also, I find Google Docs somewhat unpleasant: its rendering latency and throughput while you type is terrible, and keyboard caret navigation doesn’t match my platform’s behaviour in many places.)

You might be right, but I tend to think more people have ideas than can afford to follow them up.
It's tough because the SCOTUS was kind of designed to be far removed from voters.

You'll have to talk to your representatives in congress about this, or vote for candidates who want to do something about it. Congress can impose laws, impeach current justices, and/or add new justices (who hopefully aren't as corrupt) to dilute the influence of obviously corrupt justices.

The majority of long time members of congress probably will be hesitant to do anything because they are probably guilty of similar things themselves though - see recent news stories about insider trading. With this in mind, pay attention to your primary elections!
Not surprised. Lyft really failed to keep up over the past couple years and just year-to-date their stock price is down almost 70%. A lot of talk about companies laying off just to lay off, but if one company really needed it, it's Lyft.

I use Siri to set reminders except it is completely unable to handle reminders like “remind me this afternoon to follow up with Joe about the event on June 25”. It sees the June 25 and the reminder is now for the afternoon of June 25. I manage a theater, so this is a very very common scenario and it’s super frustrating. It speaks to there being no real understanding going on, just pattern matching on things that look like dates. I don’t need GPT4, but surely we can do better than this.
There’s nothing particularly unsafe about LLMs. Giving Sirious access to a weather api and timers is not gonna break the world.

If anything, giving LLMs access to apis makes them less likely to hallucinate.

I think this is exactly the unhelpful tactics that have prevented people figuring out the problem. I have both theoretically and practically verified the 2XSAT reduction, and I believe it's a step towards P=NP. But, it's being dismissed out of hand because I don't have a practical, fully polynomial, algorithm.

So I cannot publish that (I am well aware of the unfortunate situation that only a practical implementation will now convince people that P=NP).

Add to it, why should I? What if it's not that far from a full solution, and somebody else will get the prize?

I came to understand why Perelman refused the prize. Mathematics should be about collaborative understanding of the universe, not about people working in isolation until they have fully working superoprimized implementation that can crack Bitcoins.

For me the temptation of 5g over cable are better contracts. The cable provider in my apartment already has cable setup in my home with a no-contract “WiFi” option. But to get faster speeds I have to pay $150 buck setup fee and sign up for a year long lease.

Like, nope 5g’s probably good enough.

It's not invalid to ask whether companies are making real, strategic and well-thought moves or just jumping on a bandwagon.

Many of us have worked for long-standing public companies with thousands of employees that have embarked on product strategies that were not particularly valid.

Facebook comes to mind, for example, and its Metaverse boondoggle. Or Google and half a dozen things. Evernote, though it's not a public company, also comes to mind...

Did anybody need "insider knowledge" to know Google's Stadia was DOA? For that matter, Dropbox has tried pivoting to mail and apps (Carousel + Mailbox) in the past, and I don't know whether insider knowledge was needed to predict that failure.

I can imagine use cases for AI + Dropbox. Whether they are urgent use cases where customers see a real problem they're willing to throw money at is another question entirely.
Yes, incredibly frustrating that to ask Siri to play a song from your library on your device you need a network connection.
Siri does use on-device voice recognition. Active airplane mode and you can still use it.

Edit: for some commands only it seems. I agree with OP, this is odd.

Curious why you're asking this question when it seems to have little to do with Datomic going "free"? Did you mean Datomic WASM on the horizon? Or am I missing some other connection between SQLite and Datomic?
Is it really C++ or just C saved in .cpp files? (which is a norm in Win32 API world)
It's a good question. There's been very little data on partial gravity, but what there is shows that a pronounced physical sense of "down" and "up" doesn't kick in until about 1/5g [1]. That said, a horizon and big rock underfoot are powerful visual cues, and it's anyone's guess what it would feel like to walk on a small celestial body like that. There's one good way to find out!

To be fair, documents context with things like semantic search could be the upcoming bottleneck for a lot of industry applications.

Even though a hundred+ QA products doing this (Chat with your files vibes etc) haven't had much success, they are ignoring the fact that trust is key to document storage, and that we haven't mastered correct context/snippet amalgamation yet - for example, one may want to include both statements that have high cosine similarity, and also statements with clashing natural language inference similarity (contractionary sentences). This gives the context window the statements needed to correctly reason and use logic from different parts of the document. Small things like order (e.g. grouping snippets from different documents together in per-document batches, and also ordering by page number the statements within each document) matter greatly.
AMD issues statement on burning Ryzen 7000 Processors
A few things come to mind...
- Impeaching federal judges isn't unheard of, though with today's hyper-partisan Congress, unlikely to happen.

- While federal judges have life appointments, nothing in the Constitution prevents a "term limit" on a particular judge/court pairing. IE, we could move Supremes to a lower federal court after 15 years without amending the Constitution.

- We could demand POTUS and Congress stop appointing assholes and crooks to the bench. But, that's about as likely as the first bullet.
A punch from a good boxer into an area smaller than a a boxer's fist, frequently without any kind of preparation or bracing. Yeah it shouldn't ragdoll someone but that seems far more impactful than portrayed.
Additionally federal judges, including supreme court justices, are theoretically subject to the check of impeachment and conviction by the Senate. However, in practice, only one supreme court justice[1] has ever been impeached, and even then was acquitted.

Historically, federal judges have a 50% conviction rate following impeachment. The proximal causes of such a low impeachment rate, and whether they sufficiently address the current behavior of our supreme court justices is obviously up for debate.

Don't want to see them die at the expense of people that don't want to live there?

Remember, what is being discussed here is the fact that with remote work, commercial real state is low in demand. So we are effectively talking that workers prefer not to live there, given a choice, and the companies are fine in employing them remote.

The place didn't die. It's still there. But many people prefer to live elsewhere. You can remain there if tou like it so much, no one is stopping you.
The author is not a scientist, wrote a book called »Global Warming and Other Eco-Myths: How the Environmental Movement Uses False Science to Scare Us to Death« and he cites only one single paper. Totally untrustworthy
Is it just me or Siri is very bad at picking up accents (mine isn't that bad having lived in the US for a while) and background noise.

One of the more impressive things about using the Google's voice assistant was, it did very well in noisy environments. Whereas with Siri, that is quite a bit of struggle. This is only about speech-to-text, not text-to-whatever.
LOL classic, it almost looks like an intentional joke. First thing on their homepage:

> 21,339 stars and counting

First thing on their GitHub README:

> Open Source. No artificial limitations, vendor lock-in, or hidden paywalls.

Their contributing section:

> Directus is a premium open-source (BSL 1.1) project, made possible with support from our passionate core team, talented contributors, and amazing GitHub Sponsors. Thank you all!!
Yes! My big complaint about Siri is that she's just the same old "here is a list of preprogrammed actions you can perform, with a fallback to just dumping it in a Google searchbox" but you don't get access to the list. So finding what she can do involves outright guessing, scouring the web, or closely watching Apple demos. She can do quite a bit, but you'll never find 90+% of the options because Apple only shows you a small handful of suggestions.

https://support.apple.com/siri

Discoverability is a huge problem. Also, Siri can't launch apps, which seems like it should be an extremely common operation. "Hey Siri, launch Words with Friends".
They can - if we split it into parsing, execution and response. If LLMs only do parsing and response and execution is limited to actions that are prepogrammed, i think we’ll have a much better assistant. Like, it could be interactive and natural. But i agrees that it shouldn’t be given unfettered access to do whatever it wants.
> Datomic's is perfect for probably 90% of small-ish backoffice systems that never has to be web scale (i.e. most of what I do at work).

So is any cloud-managed db offering and at that scale we talking very small costs anyway.

Why datomic instead?
The problem is not a rotary encoder, but how the software handles the signals. That's what interrupts are for, the command should make it into the software queue basically instantly, ensuring commands aren't lost.

If the price was $30 per year, I bet you could attract at least 400,000 casual subscribers (in an area of 24M people) and earn the same $12M per year. The more casual users would put less strain on the system too.

I wonder if the report you linked to is somehow broken ("There were 18 active Citi Bike stations at the end of March.") but 2 trips per bike per day sounds comparably low - I guess an annual report would be more useful.

> everyone wants to go to Grand Central in the morning and leave from there in the evening.

Sounds problematic (and weird) to me, like they have attracted only a specific type of potential users.

"Mr. Robot, categorize our customers in a monetizable way by inspecting the data they hold in their accounts."
As a fellow European, I used to feel that way. Having lived in Canada for a while now, I prefer short notice periods.

It means that I can be more flexible in pursuing opportunities. Businesses also tend to be more risk-seeking because the downside of hiring someone is lower. That benefits me as an employee because it is much easier to get hired.

I’ve been laid off, so I also felt the negative consequences. The key for me was building an emergency fund. Granted, if a person is in an employer's market, the short notice system is terrible.
For the website builder this subscription price is not cheap at all, but I would pay for it if it allowed me to create responsive animated websites (the one you see when you google best designs), all websites are mostly simple landing pages, and the more complicated are in need for a developer. I think this can be done though as there is no process too complex that a no code builder could not do.
Caveat, I'm not exactly an expert at that level. My understanding is that "it depends".

I do know that transmission distance goes down as the frequency (and bandwidth) increases. For example, 2.4 GHz WiFi works farther than 5 GHz, but is slower.

I also know that 5G enables high speed "micro cells".. Higher bandwidth but smaller coverage zone. The idea that every city block can have a mini cell in their corner traffic light equipment buried undergound etc., less obtrusive cell towers needed. Sort of in between WiFi and true cell towers. I like to think of it as super charged WiFi on steriods. So that's one capability 5G brings, but it doesn't mean that your local experience is using this.

So, again, it all depends.

Maybe someone else here can post a more definitive answer or techincal explanation.
Ungern features as a prominent persona in Victor Pelevin's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapayev_and_Void - so any Russian-reading person who read this (one of the most famous) works of Pelevin at least heard the name (though Pelevin's Ungern, of course, has as little to do with the real-life prototype as the rest of the people featured in this work, specifically very little). But for some it prompted further inquiry into the biography of this very, very un-ordinary man.
Yeah I think (heard anecdotally) both google/YouTube and Facebook (and many others) started with MySQL. Spanner for distributed writes has inspired most implementations although Google is the only one I know about that implements TrueTime (atomic clocks). The same year that the Spanner paper came out (after Percolator) an alternate approach (Calvin) was also published, and some of us are using that (our DB's design is inspired by it, but we've done a lot of enhancements since then).
They can be impeached by Congress which itself is installed by the people. It's a good level of indirection to keep the court from pandering to the passions of the public while retaining the ability to remove a justice that goes rouge.

At least in theory.
Thankfully we're seeing a lot more work upstreaming modern cores into Linux. Most still are missing various key bits of support, but the trend is radically different from the past where colossal vendor forks of kernels & custom trees were the one and only path for all devices. This is all to say, I have some hope soon we'll see ARM tablets become vaguely near as useful/capable/flexible/all-purpose as the Personal Computer PC x86 platform has been. Someday. So the dream's been going I guess; keep that spark of hope alive.

FWIW I did mention that my systems have all been x86. I intend to continue that trend for the foreseeable. Currently they're all pretty power sipping (Intel i5-4200Y 11.5W TDP, i5-7200U 7.5W TDP), but I hope we can actually do the gaming deck dance & start having badass cooling & sick TDPs... and scaling down on battery. The new AMD Z1 core looks amazing, gimme a 18" tablet with this, please, I'm begging.

It's a more limited answer, but as a developer, I also don't really care. Give me a fullscreen web browser & an online editor like vscode web. What I carry around is just a network thin client.
it's for when you can't type reasonably isn't i? Like while you're cooking you might say "skip to next song" or "set a timer for 10 minutes" or something.

That's how people describe it anyways.
so maybe the additional leverage makes employers more comfortable paying them more because they don't believe they will leave as readily?

Increased leverage to me would imply suppressed wages.

edit:

I also think employers will often empathize with new parents who may be operating on reduced sleep and hours, giving them a little more leeway than otherwise. I know I do this with my employees.
