Your information diet. Social media. Gossipy and negative people. Mulling over old failures/regrets/slights etc. The mind is easily pulled along by negativity and outrage... as can be observed in our current global psychological s

That's where the modern meaning of "digital circuit" etc comes from as well, the discrete/jointed nature of the digits (ie fingers). (Source: I read it a long time ago and was fascinated so stuck in my memory.)

You have to be extremely careful when you set up a dev container, lock down file access, do not give the agent the power to start other containers or "docker compose up", restrict network access to an allow-list etc. Just running

The tech world knows this. They are raking in money off of these scams. People with a rudimentary moral compass leave, those without stay, which makes it even less likely that industry will self-sanitize. The rest of society, out of surviva

I've seen several Mac users have the same experience: going all-in on nix-darwin and then getting frustrated. But nix-darwin is one of the worst ways of getting into Nix, because its goal is to make your whole macOS system configurable

The way I do this is I task the agent with writing a script which in turn does the updates. I can inspect that script, and I can run it on a subset of files/folders, and I can git revert changes if something went wrong and ask the agen

This is going to be very good for Gleam IMO. Having a super-easy on-ramp for using Gleam in Elixir projects will let people experiment with implementing eg more complex business logic in Gleam, and allow gradual adoption. Naturally, this is

The Swedish, rather short-lived but very influential, magazine Pop voted There's a Riot as the best album of all time in 1994. That list had a huge effect on a whole generation of Swedish music fans. https://sv.wikipedia.org

My current preference is to use Elixir and its great ecosystem as the shell for my project, and implement the core business logic in Gleam.

Excellent! This scenario has a precursor in Philip K. Dick's "Ubik" (1969). It's just a sub-plot there, but the parallels are striking.

Scala is known for being multi-paradigm and quite complex, with competing factions promoting different Best Ways of Doing Things. Gleam is designed to be small and simple with a single clear path for getting things done. Apart from that, Gl

Any particular macro system you have used or created? If so, did you use an existing pre-processor, or just coded something up from scratch?

TypeDb is a practical Datalog-based database system [1] (with a different syntax). TerminusDb is a project in a similar vein [2], but actually an RDF store at its core. If you want to experiment with the connections between Datalog, relatio

You are definitely on to something here. OOP has some common roots with formal ontologies and knowledge representation (not so much the programming languages, but object oriented modeling). OO fails at this for various reasons, whereas logi
