Yeah. I've gotten into the habit of asking hosts to send me their exact up/down. Even then, they often have wifi routers that are just awful, so I have to plug in via ethernet and share it from my laptop. I'm so glad my unexp

I can't help but attempt to apply Kant's categorical imperative to this approach. Is this something I would wish as a universal rule? What about folks who have really bad luck and participate in organizations that are a bad fit fo

I hadn't heard of mailtime! Last one I used was DeltaChat ( https://delta.chat/ ) and it was super slow.

That is such bad Agile. No wonder people have such bad feelings about it. :-(

How is the VSCode support? I've only used IntelliJ + Cursive for Clojure and am quite spoiled. That's the only reason I might not recommend Clojure for a VSCode user. Now, if said user is interested in switching to Emacs or Intell

How is it that you think Clojure has trouble doing things in a non-functional way? I'm just curious, as I work in Clojure primarily and may have a huge blind spot I'd love to clear out!

Boy do I hate that phrase. It's absolutely incorrect from a neuroscience perspective. Words can in fact hurt you, and, depending on circumstances, cause long term psychological damage. Here's a place to start to learn more if you

The article seems to suggest that the study hasn’t actually been executed yet. This seems to be about hypotheses and study design.

While I'm asking for help.. does anyone know of any crypto bindings? I've been working with libsodium lately, and there is a Clojure library that binds to it.

So, I do a lot of string manipulation using regular expressions, and Janet doesn't support that, in favor of PEGs, which I've never heard of. Does anyone know of a "PEGs for RegEx addicts" resource or something similar?

What about when your country (like mine) is a technological superpower and allows the super rich to keep all of the wealth generated by our greatest minds locked up? We could do the same if we had the courage.

Not a bad idea!

Or use a password manager..

We definitely avoid this approach. Fine grained access control per secret per environment is impossible. We use explicit secret management software.

Disagree 100%. “just talk directly to people” reads to me like an ill-informed tactic that allows all our worst habits to run amok. Studying these techniques and making them habitual is the key to a kinder, more thoughtful, and even more ef

Absolutely. Social threat triggers the exact same pain response wiring in the brain as physical violence.

With familiarity that goes away. :-)

Well if crypto is managed outside the database I don’t think it’s a huge problem.

Who knows? If the system is rigged against the righteous and the immoral are in charge, maybe hacking the system is the moral thing? Much to ponder on this one...

This is why our development team operates using unanimous consent. We have gotten really good at it in fact! It just takes practice and trust. Robert’s rules definitely takes practice, but not trust.

Definitely going to check this out. I’ve studied consent decision making through Sociocracy which was based on the Quaker approach to consensus building. It will be nice to see another take.

The interesting thing is that wages have remained stagnant as productivity has increased dramatically. Which means that our labor has been valued less over time. What needs to happen is that the work week shortens while the minimum wage inc

Lucky! I wrote a small internal app in node for my company that relied on an IMAP library. 3 months after launch, someone upgraded the library and my app stopped working. Stack traces were incomprehensible. No “how to upgrade” documentation

This is good news! Sad to say I can’t buy another Mac laptop until the Touch Bar is gone, too. Sad, too, because that means I’m stuck with Linux, which is much higher maintenance than Mac OS. ;-)

I went with a System76 laptop for precisely this reason.
