divs1210··on React I love you, but you're bringing me down
You might need to re-read my comment.

ClojureScript is a functional language.

Reagent is a ClojureScript wrapper over React.

Cljs + Reagent is AWESOME.

There is a JavaFX wrapper too, with a similar API.

divs1210··on React I love you, but you're bringing me down
That is bonkers, to be honest.

I've used React a lot, but only via Reagent in ClojureScript.

I think the JS people are being scammed.

divs1210··on My Surreal Experience with COBOL
wow, TIL
divs1210··on I've started using Firefox and can never go back to Chrome
Same! I switched from FF to Brave a few months back, and I'm liking it a lot.

I miss a few features, but nothing major.

divs1210··on A Surprising Side of Carl Sagan
Rating Martian and Gattaca above Contact?

We clearly have very different tastes.

divs1210··on A phone app called Lumenate claims to alter the brain’s rhythms (2021)
could you share your videos?
divs1210··on The crypto crisis has created an advertising vacuum
> Has that money generated real returns anywhere?

Snowden and Navalny were funded via BTC.

divs1210··on Popcorn Time Is Back
Agreed!
divs1210··on ‘Blade Runner’ at 40
I disagree.

Blade Runner seems to age like wine, and becomes more poignant with each re-watch.

It has a good pace, amazing visuals, asks tough questions, has some really good action sequences, etc.

Of course, everyone is looking for different things in movies and the experience is highly subjective.

Blade Runner will always be one of my favorites - right there with Contact, They Live, Jurassic Park, and other top-notch SciFi films.

divs1210··on The Evolution of THC Vape Cartridges
3 draws per hour?

I recently switched to vaping from smoking, and I hope that's not the case for nic vapes, because then I'm seriously overdoing it.

divs1210··on Brave Search Goggles: Alter search rankings with rules and filters
I already love Brave Browser, now I'm going to start using their search too.

This is the kind of feature that seems obvious in hindsight.

There are still some features I miss from FireFox (forget site, select all, etc.) but otherwise Brave has worked pretty well for me!

divs1210··on How to make sense of ancient Greek colours (2020)
Also, English has a very large number of loan words from other languages.

So you're dropping words from other languages in English all the time.

Avatar, mantra, juggernaut, kindergarten, zeitgeist, and many, many others.

divs1210··on Physicists link two time crystals in seemingly impossible experiment
Reminds me of Douglas Adams' Dirk Gently Holistic Detective Agency.
divs1210··on Java is not a safe language
Wow
divs1210··on Do Kwon in more trouble
It made more sense before the title was changed.

Joke was a reference to South Park.

divs1210··on Do Kwon in more trouble
He's a towel.
divs1210··on Artificial neural networks are making strides towards consciousness?
Yup. I'll believe it when the model gets decent grades in a GRE comprehension test.
divs1210··on Lisp, Smalltalk, and the power of symmetry (2014)
Both - libraries written in Clojure and wrapped versions of Java libraries.

And because Java interop is pretty good, you can use Java libraries directly from Clojure as well.

I have written REST servers, data stream processing pipelines, hadoop jobs, react-based frontends, mobile apps, etc. in Clojure.

divs1210··on Lisp, Smalltalk, and the power of symmetry (2014)
I have used Clojure professionally at several companies, and can confidently say that you will find libraries for everything.

Common Lisp/Scheme on the other hand are pretty bad in that regard, and only iseful for hobby stuff.

divs1210··on I was forced to be a child star. It was never my dream or my idea
Oh, I forgot Will was in that one!

Stand By Me is one of my favorites!

Crazy that’s a Stephen King adaptation!

I liked Joaquin Phoenix’s brother’s character better in that film, though. He plays a child from an unstable family. He died an untimely death :(.

divs1210··on The Medical Power of Hypnosis
Very interesting!

Props to your quick thinking!

divs1210··on I was forced to be a child star. It was never my dream or my idea
Ouch.

I’m sorry he had to go through that.

divs1210··on I was forced to be a child star. It was never my dream or my idea
Off topic:

Though Will is better known for his role in Star Trek, my favorite work of his is a low budget film from the 80’s called The Curse.

It is an adaptation of HP Lovecraft’s Color Out of Space, and IMO it’s the best Lovecraft adaptation ever made. (trust me, I’ve seen a lot)

divs1210··on Ask HN: What game do you wish existed?
I got the Valve Index, then found out my computer isn’t good enough for it…

Saw the playthrough on youtube, though. Looks like a lot of fun.

divs1210··on Ask HN: What game do you wish existed?
Half Life 3…
divs1210··on Tether Withdrawals Top $10B
Yes, many people made money shorting LUNA and UST.
divs1210··on Tether Withdrawals Top $10B
Agreed!
divs1210··on Listening to songs can cause a physiological response known as “frisson”
Commenting to refer in the future.
divs1210··on Listening to songs can cause a physiological response known as “frisson”
The first time I heard Maggot Brain, I was on hallucinogens.

It was probably the most ecstatic I’ve ever felt in my entire life.

I will never ever forget that day.

divs1210··on U.S. court rejects Tether’s bid to conceal reserve records from the public
But fully audited and regulated stablecoins like USDC and BUSD exist and operate freely, so this doesn’t seem likely.
