The operative word should have been ‘operating’ income, which is revenue - operating expenses - cost of goods sold
phrygian··on Show HN: I made a generative online drum machine with ClojureScript
very nice, enjoy listening to the beats. also good to see something come out of Clojure land after a while

phrygian··on Clojure by Example (2015)
Nice short examples in simple language. Scrolling down does pollute the browser history though.
phrygian··on Automatic SSL Certificates for internal IP's for home k8 setup using LetsEncrypt
I use step-ca [0] for these sort of things and it works brilliantly. I barely see the point of having external DNS servers resolving your internal infrastructure.

I suppose a question for you would be how has your business supported clojure(script)? It seems to me to be a case of a business that has benefited from clojure - and wants to be invested in its future - doing something about it. It cost something to provide what you built your business on :)

I simply disable JavaScript. Only when I’m on a page that I think I really need JavaScript capabilities to I open it in another browser that has JS enabled. Of course some in the latter category do nasty stuff but only those I explicitly allow get to run JS with Adblock enabled.
phrygian··on What is our action plan against foreign interference?
What does foreign mean to Facebook? I had assumed that Facebook sees itself as some transnational entity. Unless this is about picking winner states.

It is their platform, right? I’d assume they are within their rights to determine how Information flows within it. Obviously they’d want it to be in a way that positively impacts their bottom line. If the ability to reach people on their platform through pages is valuable, then i should not be surprised if they want those who use it to pay for it.
phrygian··on Lawsuit: Sexual harassment ‘victim’ was San Francisco business rival in disguise
You may need to contextualise your statement. Empathy in what sense? There is a nonzero chance the falsely accused might actually get thrown in jail, not to talk about the potentially immense reputational damage that may be difficult to repair. I'm not really sure what you are getting at with your pitch.
phrygian··on We’re dropping Google Ads
I noticed this a while back, and it annoyed the hell out of me. So on my iPhone I have JavaScript permanently disabled on safari, which is my default browser and use chrome as an auxiliary for any site that I really want to access but can't do so without JavaScript enabled in safari.

I suppose my own question is does it need a domain name?
phrygian··on Western Union admits to aiding wire fraud, to pay $586M
I think that if you have ever been in a position where such broad brush generalisation affects you, an otherwise decent and hardworking individual, personally in a really negative way, you will understand why it is not right to make these sort of statements.
phrygian··on Western Union admits to aiding wire fraud, to pay $586M
Quote from the article:

Online versions of the scam originate primarily in the United States, the United Kingdom and Nigeria, with Ivory Coast, Togo, South Africa, Benin, the Netherlands, and Spain also having high incidences of such fraud

I suggest the parent takes some time, do a little study and call a criminal act what it is, rather than lazily labelling 200m people as scammers.

Edit: grammar

phrygian··on Re-Frame: a Reagent Framework for Writing SPAs, in ClojureScript
Of course yes. My reply was largely tied to the parent's description of a date-picker component. But for application level components I'd use event names that are unique at the application level that conveys the intended semantics of the event. Everything else becomes an argument to that name, which pretty much aligns with your notion of instance Id et al although I'd be less rigid about the particular structure of the arguments.
phrygian··on Re-Frame: a Reagent Framework for Writing SPAs, in ClojureScript
I would say you don't. I think about it this way: use re-frame to write applications, but components must be self contained and have no knowledge of reframe. To do what you asked, I'll pass a function to the component. The function can then make the context-aware reframe call. That way all your component needs to do is to call the passed in function.

That makes sense, thank you.

Can someone explain what this[0] means? It would seem that when you buy the car, you don't own it after all.
