They are literally selling dollar bills for 90 cents.

> but since as a customer you can't just turn around and sell a token yourself for more than you paid

You can't purchase a dollar for 90 cents and sell it for 95 if the original seller keeps selling for 90.

It's $250 billion less that goes to the ultrarich, so that they can't purchase another $250 billion of assets.

Check out sunrise-commander, it is Dired reskinned as a dual-paner. Love how convenient it is to have a powerful integrated file manager.

Taken out of context, an 18+ device called Magic Pointer coming from Google would be wild.

Turning didn't work for me. Impressive as hell indeed! The author is probably already busy 100xing other projects, no time to fix such a minor nuisance.

And that angry user base will do what, exactly? Switch to Android? One can dream.

I believe you, but it would be nice if you called out the exact vendors that do that, for others to be cautious. It's not like their pricing is under NDA, right?

The term "linear scaling" was invented by cloud companies to sell more cloud.

Clojure authors are quite conservative about adding such opinionated instruments into the language, especially when they come from outside. But fortunately, being a Lisp allows Clojure to add such language modifications with libraries without forcing those modifications upon every user of the language.

It could certainly be redesigned to have explicit lazy collections/operations and use transducers as the composition glue. It would be a breaking change, so it's never going to happen in Clojure. But if somebody plans to design a language inspired by Clojure, they should certainly take this hint.

Well, if you already use transducers, then you are not exactly the target audience:). It's meant more for the younger developers who see a core language feature and feel inclined towards using it despite the drawbacks.

> In other words, it's something I don't think much about anymore, and it doesn't inconvenience me in any noticeable way.

Interesting, because it still does bother me. I mean, if I use lazy sequences and functions on them. Sure, if I consciously avoid them, then it doesn't me anymore, that's the point of the article :D.

I'm sorry my article had such an effect on you. Despite the inconveniences, it is still a very worthy language to pick up.
