Just got off the phone with a team member who’s at our Interceptor in the Dominican Republic.

Told me that recently the locals found out what we’re trying to do and you now see children and even fishermen joining in with helping to collect trash from the river 😭💙

@bastoker 😍 mount it to the dashboard of your car and casually it in a traffic jam 😂

@b0rk @gumroad Gumroad says their paypal plugin doesn’t support it. I interpret that as gumroad deciding for businesses like yours that the extra effort / money isn’t worth it. Oh well … 🤷🏼‍♂️

@mostalive Made functionality in emacs lisp, racket and scheme, but no huge programs. Feels the same as clojure to me. I rarely restart clj repls (backend, frontend and (ba)bash(ka) environments). But I started with different expectations and wasn’t spoiled before moving there 😅

[Maarten Metz @MMz_]

@mostalive Maybe our experience is different because I didn’t enter with smalltalk or lisp like expectations and workflows and therefore developed a different workflow? It serves my needs (python and ruby repls don’t), but it’s good to know there are next levels of repl enlightenment 🤓

[Maarten Metz @MMz_]

@mostalive Not sure why you mention clojure (it isn’t mentioned in the article). I guess there’s a range of repl ‘depth’ you can get. My feeling is that clojure is a lot closer to the lisp repl feel than ruby and python for instance. Can’t judge smalltalk; have no experience there.

@freekl Allemaal €uro kritisch?

[Maarten Metz @MMz_]

@b0rk @gumroad Thanks Julia! @gumroad is there a particular reason why paying from paypal balance is not possible?

[Maarten Metz @MMz_]

@b0rk Tried to buy some of your zines months (years?) ago, and tried it again today, but checkout via paypal still requires creditcard even though there is enough balance on my paypal account. I don’t have a creditcard and I don’t want one. I do want some zines. What are my options?

@DanielLohues Insgelijks! https://t.co/3V8OFv2NMe

@DavyLandman @freekl Grootste probleem misschien wel: afhankelijk van je doel is er altijd wel een statistiek of grafiek te vinden die jouw verhaal / perceptie / overtuiging steunt. Blijft goed om de verschillende perspectieven naast elkaar te zien ... maar kost allemaal wel veel tijd! 😅

@borkdude @pradeepbishnoi Did some cleanup and introduced tools.cli options. I learn so much from these 'useless' side projects! Babashka rocks! Thanks @borkdude https://t.co/y3d7zsq6CF

This gist generates a maze and 'animates' *in the terminal* how an agent that only sees the adjacent walls solves it step by step (using Trémaux's algorithm). 1 dependency and according to cloc 133 lines of code. 🤓 https://t.co/y3d7zsq6CF #babashka #clojure #wip /cc @borkdude

@borkdude @pradeepbishnoi Made a small hack ... now it only prints when a move has been made. Should really program this one again from first principles. Will make it a lot clearer. #WIP
