Honestly what's mostly at the forefront of my mind is greatly improving the documentation around ClojureScript as well as our fork of Google Closure Library (GCL). At work we've switched to DataStar (a single JS include) and coupl

That's a big contribution, also the original HAMTs are not a functional data structure. See Section 3.4.1 in https://docdrop.org/download_annotation_doc/3386321-trk2f.pd...

Clarifying Clojure had them in 2007. Scala implementations were inspired by Clojure’s. Both Odersky and Bagwell have given credit to Hickey.

I don't think Gnus is that bad once you spend some time setting it up. For groups with a ton of content where I mostly want to search, I found it was better to just download the whole group and index into notmuch. I could query 20 year

WASM and the performance seems catastrophically bad (45ms to render a frame on an M4 laptop)? It would be much more impressive if Claude could optimize it into something that someone would actually want to play? Compare this to a random hit

If you can afford it! "Grass-roots segregation hits records numbers" would be an equally fitting title.

Some research on this topic http://edgarmatias.com/papers/hci96/ On OS X you can achieve this with Keyb, Karabiner Elements, etc. It's also easy to do with a programmable keyboard with ZMK/QMK. I've

I don't see how anything about what's presented here that refutes such claims. This mostly confirms that LLM based approaches need some serious baby-sitting from experts and those experts can derive some value from them but genera

Loading 50mb of WASM is a big tradeoff just to run code on a website.

Blitz format is reasonably popular on KGS (once you get to a certain level) usually 10+0. Blitz is harder to find on Pandanet - but you can easily blitz on Fox.

Yes. gptel supports two output modes out of the box, markdown (meh), and org-mode. I make an org-mode heading with my question, then I press `C-c <enter>`. Claude will use the area bellow the heading for its answer. It will make sub-h

I have 2 Sailor Pro Gear Slims 14K and one Sailor Pro Gear 21K. The later is the best writing experience. I'm not an ink maniac but I tried a few and I found that Sailor inks tend to dry reasonably quickly while still having a good flo

I’m left handed, with the right ink and paper this isn’t a huge problem. I picked up fountain pens a year ago and I will never go back to regular pens for my own writing.

We forked Google Closure Library. This is mostly a good thing as GCL started introducing frustrating breaking changes around 2018/2019. We've backed everything out and now ClojureScript libraries from 14 years ago work again.

I'm curious as to how you think this is different from say, committing to JavaScript/BundlerX/NPM or TypeScript/BundlerX/NPM? Surely those have an equally heavy influence on how you write code?

The implementation really is not built on top of GCL, the bulk of the standard library is persistent datastructure implementation and functional apis. The few cases here and there like `goog.string` can be removed over time. But really what

I felt that way at first, but after getting around to listening to a few of them you start to realize he repurposed a lot his favorite material from these cantatas into his instrumental works. For example, one of Bach's innovations was

Some scholars believe it to be an early work - possibly Bach was 19 years old. No copy in Bach's hand has ever been discovered, so there's no certainty. It is a wonderful, memorable piece of music but Bach was pretty good at that
