Scheme is mostly used for teaching, but there are many production applications out there written in Lisp (Emacs for example). Also I'd like to mention Clojure, which is "lispy" and used by big cooperations.

Depends whether you see it as a production method or an art/recreational activity. There can be both, and don't worry, hand-made products will always have a special value. Even if everybody can order custom made knitted sweater from a machine.

Shh... we don't talk about those dark ages any more. Times were different.

So true. My first job was in QA. Involuntarily, because I applied for a dev role, but they only had an opening for QA. I took the job because of the shiny company name on my resume. Totally changed my perspective of quality and finding issues. Even though I liked the job, it has some negative vibes because you are always the guy bringing bad news / critizing others peoples work (more or less). Also some developers couldn't react professionally to me finding bugs in their code. One dev team lead called me "person non grata" when coming over to their desk. I took it with pride. Eventually I transitioned to develoment because I did not see any career path or me in QA (team lead positions were filled with people doing the job for 20+ years).

See a tug showing off here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6uNECa_X8Q Voith is the only company producing those, even though the patent has expired.

Bootstrapped solo dev here. I enjoyed using Claude to get little things done which I happed on my TODO list below the important stuff, like updating a landing page, or in your case perhaps adding automated testing for the frontend stuff (so you don't have to click yourself). It's just nice having someone coming up with a proposal on how to implement something, even it's not the perfect way, it's good as a starter. Also I have one Claude instance running to implement the main feature, in a tight feedback loop so that I know exactly what it's doing. Yes, sometimes it takes a bit longer, but I use the time checking what the other Claudes are doing...

Finally. I remember buing "genuine" Samsung HDMI adapter and receiving counterfeit products all the time (technically inferior with bad shielding and failing quickly) Might have been a good idea on paper, but reality proved otherwise. Actually I'm surprised it took them so long.

Reminds me of the purely mechanical computer Z1 with 16-word floating point memory, Keyboard and punch card reader: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z1_(computer)

Would be interesting to reconstruct that using a 3D printer... if anyone has too mich time to spare.

I'm curious to learn from your mistakes, can you please elaborate what went wrong?

Looks nice, but... what is this and how is it supposed to work?! There is no explanation, no tutorial, ...

It is in regards to the GDPR. If you're a European vendor and process PII, you must ensure some level of data protection. If you want to be on the safe side, you'll pick European providers instead of US hyperscalers (who have EU data centers, but are still US owned).

I can still remember when the first inkjet printers came onto the market as the successor to dot matrix printers. I wanted one because, as a child, I thought it would allow me to imitate my handwriting with a fountain pen and I would never have to write my homework by hand again...

I'd emphasize that it's a problem with your particular code base. If you set it up correctly, all dates are properly parsed at the boundaries and you would only deal with one type of date inside your app. I'm working on a large Clojure app with a lot of date handling and never had any issues. For me, a date is always juxt/tick date.

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately it seems it is currently removed due to unclear bugs.

This is really nice, and I am impressed how much effort went into the documentation, to make the demo nice and interactive.

At first I thought this is something new, because it's cool and I haven't heard of it, even though I'm coding in Clojure for about 3 years now. But this project is already 10 years old and hasn't received much attention for the last few years, which is a pity. I wish it was coming with Calva, my favorite Clojure tooling in VS Code.

Quick (and cheap?) hires are not necessarily good hires. In my experience (and my theory) developer productivity can range from 0.5x to 5x and more, and those developers in the upper range tend to look for certain programming language which they enjoy, like Rust, Go, Elixir, Scala and Clojure. They are hard to get if you are on a "boring" stack like Java, NodeJS, PHP. So if you might need to invest some time and money to find the right people, but at the end you make a better deal: Even if the salary is twice as much, the productiviy is even more. Additionally less people means less communication overhead, which is another advante.

I'm running two clusters on it, on for production and one for dev. Works pretty good. With a schedule to reboot machines every sunday for automatic security updates (SuSE Micro OS). Also expanded machines for increased workloads. You have to make sure to inspect every change terraform wants to do, but then you're pretty save. The only downside is that every node needs a public IP, even though they are behind a firewall. But that is being worked on.

yes, indeed, that's is also what I am curious about

Love it. Just the other day I have been looking for something like this. What preconditions must be met to use this with an existing app? What tech stack is supported (e.g. only Typescript and React and ...)?

Looks more like he replaced B with 8 (derBauer) Otherwise it would be der8er

Why would you prefer your own personal subscription over a business plan?

I just checked the offering today and was confused why the personal subscription is with $10 almost half of the business plan with $19. After some more browsing I found a page which claimed that a business plan had better privacy protection (e.g. your input is not used for training). So the business plan seems to be a tad better.

Also interesting to add Scala to the mix. https://hntrends.net/compare/words?words=clojure,elixir,scal...

And then, compared to Rust... https://hntrends.net/compare/words?words=clojure,elixir,scal...

Why don't users in the EU have access to Home Screen web apps?

To comply with the Digital Markets Act, Apple has done an enormous amount of engineering work to add new functionality and capabilities for developers and users in the European Union — including more than 600 new APIs and a wide range of developer tools.

The iOS system has traditionally provided support for Home Screen web apps by building directly on WebKit and its security architecture. That integration means Home Screen web apps are managed to align with the security and privacy model for native apps on iOS, including isolation of storage and enforcement of system prompts to access privacy impacting capabilities on a per-site basis.

Without this type of isolation and enforcement, malicious web apps could read data from other web apps and recapture their permissions to gain access to a user’s camera, microphone or location without a user’s consent. Browsers also could install web apps on the system without a user’s awareness and consent. Addressing the complex security and privacy concerns associated with web apps using alternative browser engines would require building an entirely new integration architecture that does not currently exist in iOS and was not practical to undertake given the other demands of the DMA and the very low user adoption of Home Screen web apps. And so, to comply with the DMA’s requirements, we had to remove the Home Screen web apps feature in the EU.

EU users will be able to continue accessing websites directly from their Home Screen through a bookmark with minimal impact to their functionality. We expect this change to affect a small number of users. Still, we regret any impact this change — that was made as part of the work to comply with the DMA — may have on developers of Home Screen web apps and our users.

That just changed in the EU: https://developer.apple.com/support/alternative-browser-engi...

I can recommend Ledgy

Wow, just look at the number of pills he takes every day: https://protocol.bryanjohnson.com/#step-2-supplements

And then apparently the same dish, every day... definitely a very scientific approach.

Oh please elaborate! But I can guess that a lot of confidential information was shared during the due diligence and that’s, even worse, most Figma employees already assumed it was a done deal and started openly sharing source code etc. with Adobe.

40 hours with a coin battery is impressive, but I think it is a bad decision in terms of environmental friendliness.

also there is IONOS
