Fun! I just built the example flutter app with ClojureDart running on hover. Installing hover was a little painful because I'm not familiar with the go ecosystem, but the rest was incredibly smooth. 😁

It's amazing what a carbon tax would do (BBB is the Build Back Better Plan). The whole discussion was great (the chart appears at 1:14 in the video).

A code template is released under the MIT License. If I use that as a start for a work project, it's still under that license as the codebase grows, right? Does that mean other employees have the right to distribute the entire future codebase to competitors?

It seems like it would be a common question, but I can't seem to find an authoritative answer to this anywhere.
Meanwhile the people in power call themselves "climate leaders" as they open up new oilfields, pipelines and coal power plants - granting new oil licenses exploring future oil drilling sites. This is the world they are leaving for us.

If I ever write a programming language, it will make converting between time zones hard enough that everyone decides to use UTC everywhere in the code.

Wow, Clojure and the company behind it (formerly Cognitect, now Nubank) was just mentioned on CNN--cool!

Here's an example of the perils of StackOverflow: The actual author of java.time.* says this answer is wrong and points out two correct ones, but no one reads past the first answer so it keeps getting voted up. stackoverflow.com/questions/…

CI/CD is the purest expression of Conway’s Law: your CI/CD pipeline will be broken and messy in exactly the same ways your engineering org is broken and messy. info.acloud.guru/resources/b…

The results are in for cartoon ideas. Sankrant's suggestion got the most votes, suggesting I create alternate mascots for other programming languages. I like it! I'm going to start tomorrow making mascots for other languages- Let's see how many I can do! xitter.cf/snk_xed/status/1243780…

Add other characters. Prolog bacterial lifeforms, smalltalk aliens who are good at sending messages, highly advanced mechanical aliens called haskell who value purity above all else.

Calling it the “Chinese Virus” actually puts my safety in danger. Americans who look like me are getting physically attacked. All I’m trying to do is focus on these three, but now I gotta watch my back too.
