@mandylu Reframe it as an embarrassment of riches rather than a frustrating limitation.

@TheStalwart Gah, next you’re gonna tell me to stop staying revenue is monotonically non-decreasing.

I’m a happy @netflix subscriber, but I will never, ever watch a single “podcast” on Netflix. 1) that’s not a podcast, and 2) I’m morally opposed.

We built podcasts on RSS, on the open web, for a reason.

my brother in christ what do you think your comments section is

@goshatch I don’t know if this satisfies, but my Emacs is aliased (not symlinked!) to a Homebrew-installed version and Alfred launches it just fine.

A WORRISOME *FUTURISTIC* JOBS REPORT:

In the newsletter, I wrote about today's labor market data, and how it was not only bad, but bad in a specific way that could portend a more ominous direction of the economy

@girlie_mac Are you holding up ok?

It *feels* like the tone the official channels are striking is that it’s likely to be “serious but not the worst we’ve been through”, so that’s a touch reassuring…

Wishing you the best.

As far as I can tell, connecting an Intel MBP to a monitor through a dock is the hardest problem in computer science.

The next 18 months will be filled with the realization that “AI” (read: LLMs) can’t meet promises made about them.

@wazound @cljtogether I keep wondering if readable data literals give us a leg up. i.e. if you implement a form-by-form evaluator that prns each step and capture that output, does it help an LLM to “understand” runtime state? Half-baked idea, to be sure.

I finally re-recorded and published my intro to Clojure's transducers talk that I gave last year. Check it out if you're a Clojure user who's not yet using transducers. It includes the insight that made me start using transducers every day: https://t.co/ydoVQjlzn4
