Why would a company corner itself with a very niche, closed source database (and performance nightmare with its own query language you can't use anywhere), attached to one programming language when today the open source ecosystem of databases and cloud databases has so many good options and solutions?

The only reason real reasons you would want to use Clojure over Python are if you need to work/leverage the Java ecosystem (don't want to use Java/Kotlin) and you want a real multithreaded runtime (no GIL).

It's a networked application.

They only have a bottom border that stands out.

Is that two millions LOC for a single Rails application or across various Rails applications?

From my surroundings, those who drink coffee normally have gray hair.

HTMX is not for highly interactive UIs where most user actions are local, it has its use case.

But with BFF you still need APIs? backend servers to serve the frontend servers.

S3 is slow but at the same time low cost, if you want fast AWS has other alternatives but pricier.

who reads articles? (joking ;) my bad)

You are not alone. The other day I was checking out a new programming language and the author rewrote the unsafe rust part to zig: https://github.com/roc-lang/roc/blob/main/FAQ.md#why-does-ro...

With Clojure you at least have the Java ecosystem to rely on.

How many of those 6k pages use the same CSS?

Can you elaborate on why?

HN being very anti Java, why does such many Java articles make it to the front page?

False warning about unused definition 'salary' when it is actually being used.

I use org-mode but my understanding is that logseq does what you need and it has phone apps.

I guess sqlite + honeysql would be an alternative. Curious to know why the author prefers the relations/table/codd model over graph-map-databases like datomic and thinks something like datomic "feels out" of "out of the tarpit".

Transnistria has access to the Black Sea through a river.

The difference in manipulating text in emacs vs vscode is day and night though.

you still need to know vimscript for extending with lua.

That's orthogonal to having a programatic ID for them

you have to add table support yourself.

Not knowing anything about PDF generation (but will need to soon), what can these libraries do that you can't do with something like a puppeteer web service and create PDFs with HTML/CSS?

The million dollar question, if you had to do a similar game again, would you still pick CL?

Curious, what don't you like about JS/node.js? Don't see much difference to Python or Ruby, it's mostly the same for doing the server part of web apps but with JS you have the advantage of using only language since you are going to need need at least some JS for the browser.

I would recommend full stack Javascript instead, you are going to need JS in the browser anyway.

I would add barbell row to those four.

What problems regarding resource usage can come up when trying to use thousands of sqlite databases simultaneously from a single process?
