BonfaceKilz··on FOSDEM 2023: Glad to Be Back
On diversity, just a minor thing I observed: Me (African country) and a colleague of mine (some Asian country) got our visas - for a short stay Schengen visa - denied despite being co-organizers and volunteers for one of the dev rooms. The commentary here is that it's difficult (and expensive) for minorities (non-US and non-European peoples) to get into Brussels, moreso with the refugee crisis. It sucks. I'm not entitled to getting a visa, but it would be nice if, like some folks, I could plan myself and just show up. But it is what it is.
BonfaceKilz··on Ask HN: Which boring technology do you still use?
I agree with this. I tried other editors and they never really ever "stuck".
BonfaceKilz··on Ask HN: What are the PL features that would get the most out of the human brain?
Lisp macros. Code as a data structure is a concept that the human brain would adapt to easily(and hopefully not misuse)
