I myself learned programming with logo, at my school when I was 8 or 10. And it was a delight, I am so grateful it existed. But quite surprisingly, when later during my Ph.D. part of my time was dedicated to give exercises to students. And

I personally host a forgejo instance on a private VPS ; so far almost no maintenance except protecting it from ai-crawlers[#1]. If you don't want the hassle, codeberg.org is a public instance of forgejo. [#1]: https://her.es

I wonder what side you would put Malbolge, What side for python? Haskell? Idris? Clean? C? K?... white/dark side is too much of a simplification to me. Programming language equilibrium is a very complex subject and fascinating one. Aft

Personally this is a hidden trick I use. Ask AI to build something. By default it will use python. Sometimes js or typescript. Ask then to do the same thing in Clojure. The result is generally an order of magnitude better. Shorter, easier t

I remember a documentary about learning things to kids, and in order to optimise learning efficiency the optimal ratio for difficult questions should be 1/4. So the children continue to feel good about themselves, while still improving

I think there are a few movies that made me realize how much the space is vast, empty and adverse to life. I think it would be nice for people to take a look at them: - Aniara (2018) - High Life (2018) and maybe in a less artistic view: - P

I remember there were data loss, but my account appears to have been recovered. You may try to login again, and with luck, like me you will get back your history.

I host a forgejo instance and I feel it is great to embrace the distributed nature of git. But be aware if you intend to host it you will need to protect it from recent AI web scrapers. I use anubis but there are other alternatives.

I personally have great success with gptel + mcp + claude (via copilot due to corporate restrictions) I wrote a short article about how I configured it there: https://her.esy.fun/posts/0029-ai-assistants-in-doom-emacs-3

I think this already exists and there are lot of them. Regarding stealth AI interview, there are many existing products. Mainly they listen to the interview, and write down answers in an overlay for you to repeat. They ace leet code, etc...

"Purely Functional Programming", I guess mostly Haskell/Purescript. So this only really mean: Purely Functional Programming by default. In most programming languages you can write "hello " + readLine() And this woul

For being an Haskell and Clojure dev. Data manipulation in Clojure requires a mind shift coming from Haskell. But it feels a lot more straightforward in Clojure. Even if `lens` is incredible. This is like Haskell lenses was were included in

One part of the joy that came with using Clojure is that there isn't really any bad choice. For example, I wanted a quick and dirty internal web application for admin purposes. I went with reframe. Why? Because I wanted to try it. And

I am pretty confident the spammers will remove the `+` suffix from your email. And this is why I find the Apple fake email building solution a lot better because they build a fully different email per service. No way for the service to be a

I am very glad of the architecture we use at my current company. This is a monolith, BUT with the capacity to be deployed as microservices if needed. The code is structured in such a way that you only start the sub services you need. We ha

Let me talk about my experience. I was (yes was) mostly an Haskeller. I loved using Haskell, and even a long time ago (in 2007 I think) when I learned it, the book to learn the basic of the language had snipped that no longer worked. But I

Let me add my 2cents on this subject. I feel that due to its functional nature or perhaps this is just the community bias, Clojurists tend to prefer mixing lower level libraries to build their web application instead of relying on a specifi

That's really great! Thank you for that. I saw some people asking for a good RSS reader. Personally I will use elfeed, and I also use elfeed-org so I could import the OPML file and export it into my existing RSS feeds.

Personally I find that LISP syntax remove a layer of complexity by directly exposing the AST to my brain instead of adding a layer of internal parsing. 1 + x * 2 - 3 % x is longer to decipher than (% (- (+ (* x 2) 1) 3) x)

I still follow Quanta Magazine, but I kind of moved from it to SciTechDaily, which while still imperfect, generally has a direct link to the scientific article for which, if they have done their work correctly, is easier to follow after the

From the description it looks like org-roam would be a good open-source alternative.

Basic: log to syslog Advanced: log structured objects (keys and string values) to Riemann. Write smart rules in Riemann then send those to ES and explore structured object in Kibana.
