Yeah. I've gotten into the habit of asking hosts to send me their exact up/down. Even then, they often have wifi routers that are just awful, so I have to plug in via ethernet and share it from my laptop.

I'm so glad my unexpected nomad journey is coming to an end. :-)

Curious.. what would you bring back?

I can't help but attempt to apply Kant's categorical imperative to this approach. Is this something I would wish as a universal rule?

What about folks who have really bad luck and participate in organizations that are a bad fit for their personality? Their score immediately goes down, and then the odds of them finding a better fit plummet. There is no "fresh start," so to speak.

If everybody used this system to make a judgment about whether a person is worthy, it feels like we would immediately create a permanent caste system. There would be social outcasts that would only work with other outcasts, because, frankly who else would want to? They are, in a word, untouchable.

So, for me, it appears this system is unethical to the extreme.

Happy to be proved wrong, of course!

That is such bad Agile. No wonder people have such bad feelings about it. :-(

How is the VSCode support? I've only used IntelliJ + Cursive for Clojure and am quite spoiled. That's the only reason I might not recommend Clojure for a VSCode user. Now, if said user is interested in switching to Emacs or IntelliJ, I'd think it would be a perfect fit.

How is it that you think Clojure has trouble doing things in a non-functional way? I'm just curious, as I work in Clojure primarily and may have a huge blind spot I'd love to clear out!

The article seems to suggest that the study hasn’t actually been executed yet. This seems to be about hypotheses and study design.

While I'm asking for help.. does anyone know of any crypto bindings? I've been working with libsodium lately, and there is a Clojure library that binds to it.

So, I do a lot of string manipulation using regular expressions, and Janet doesn't support that, in favor of PEGs, which I've never heard of. Does anyone know of a "PEGs for RegEx addicts" resource or something similar? :-)

What an interesting project! I'm sorely tempted to examine it more closely for one of my side projects I've been working on in Clojure.

What about when your country (like mine) is a technological superpower and allows the super rich to keep all of the wealth generated by our greatest minds locked up? We could do the same if we had the courage.
