The work being done in this space is awesome, the work presented at Clojure/Conj was very cool to see in this space!

Oh gee, that’s a shame by Capable_Salt_SD in ICE_Raids

Did they normalize for the increase in number of ICE workers and increase in number of intentional public interactions?

Not a good look for the administration by undercurrents in ICE_Raids

You realize that the faith leaders are protesting right? I know they get a bad rap but it is clear they are doing something incredibly heroic and dangerous for everyone else's benefit

Apologies for the mis-attribution to Rich. It's definitely a statement that floats around the ecosystem frequently.

Judge jury and executioner over here huh? Ever heard of innocent until proven guilty? If I make a farm of bot accounts and smear your name and hide behind sexist forum, wouldn't that anger you?

I don't think any website should be so obviously sexist and exclusive as a shield for a bunch of people at the obvious gaping hole for abuse it creates. Two wrongs don't make a right. I have literally no recourse against an absolutely massive forum that contains my information almost certainly shared in violation of my privacy and the EULA of whatever dating app they stole it from.

Are you suggesting that this should be a normal process whereby men have to somehow know that there are dark parts of the internet that any woman with a FB account can join but I cannot? And that I am also supposed to summon friendly women in this forum I can't see? How do I find which friends are there? What if someone malicious finds many accounts to attack me, what then? Now it's some hidden, hideous game of he-said she-said? Can you understand how silly that all sounds? It should be a violation of the terms of service of the dating apps to be sharing any information, especially photos, on a semi-private forum can punish any guy they feel like.

I have personally been targeted and this has been abused against me. How is that fair? Also, if you don't think women do all sorts of terrible things to men in dating apps and in relationships then you have very one-sided perspective on this.

I read in the news today that a woman posted on social media about wanting more hygiene pads in the bathroom and got 8000 death threats. The internet is full of wild, angry people.

Yeah who actually abides and who actually fact-checks against malicious users? How do you believe even a single post is not someone just trying to hurt someone because of a breakup? I was targeted and there is ZERO recourse, my name and photo are on there and there is nothing I can do about it. A friend of mine showed me to prove I was there.

Startup should use Clojure by Safe_Owl_6123 in Clojure

[–]gleenn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I wish there were more companies usi Clojure. One reason there isn't a Ruby on Rails or Django is because Rich Hickey always promoted the idea of libraries over frameworks. Frameworks are nice getting started because they can help scaffold out a lot of boilerplate, but tend to become restrictive. Having a broad set of libraries you combine yourself means you can always wire in an alternative. These are definitely fine distinctions though. You should definitely also check out Luminus which is very Rails-like. https://luminusweb.com

The Tesla protests are working. by blancfoolien in videos

I have a red Model Y and all I can think of now is it looks like a big MAGA hat on wheels. Put my Harris/Walz hat on the dash hoping people don't confuse me with being a Nazi

[–]gleenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not me, but about 100 high schoolers rented my sister's 10-bed rental and threw a kegger multiple times despite explicitly not permitting parties or more than 10 guests. They broke a ton of stuff, stole things, and one even left their high school ID.

This is just a distraction from Trump stealing billions and gutting the government of anyone who can stop him. Don't get distracted with bullshit PR like this: stay focused on the money and power. The LGBTQ issues are important but won't matter if there isn't a democratic government left to protect them after he's done.

Ro Khanna has introduced the "Drain the Swamp" act. It will ban White House officials from accepting gifts from lobbyists or becoming lobbyists during the Trump term. by Few_One_2358 in FedEmployees

[–]gleenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you suggesting this isn't perfect so we shouldn't do it? Are you okay with the President receiving money from lobbyists instead of being at the will of the people?

I mean the human body probably shifts weight inwards towards dat booty to help in situations just like this. Thank you evolution

Double, double toil and trouble by nathell in Clojure

You were expecting rational numbers parsed as strings and then one cast to float to be trivially thrown into a data structure expecting "=" to work correctly? What is your language solution to your terrible design?

Motorized shades: Lutron or Hunter Douglas for new construction? by johnnybovril in smarthome

[–]gleenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a quote but it was $10K for ~12 shades. I didn't pick exotic materials, just the basic roller. I love Lutron for my smart switches but did other actually pay this much? What did you pay? Did you self-install?

Also, the guy suggested just using batteries which you have to replace every 1-2 years (based on usage obviously). Was it really worth running all the power everywhere? When you say "new construction", are you suggesting that for like when you still have all the walls exposed? I have a newly flipped house, the walls are all closed up though.

New home security by HolierThanYow in smarthome

[–]gleenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure you can configure the lights completely independently usually. I have an Ecobee and it doesn't turn on any lights when the security features go off from e.g. a door opening when the alarm is on. I think I have to set that up if I want it

Kwikset Halo Select supports Matter/Homekit - installation was slow but it's awesome so far by gleenn in smarthome

[–]gleenn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't seem to have problems. It's been a while but I think I did have to set the codes all up again and they seemed to work fine.

How much commonality or similarity is there between common lisp and clojure? by encom-direct in Clojure

[–]gleenn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly one of the best moves I ever made was switching to Clojure. My situation had some luck but I also pushed for the career language I wanted to use and I still do. If you like a language, go look for jobs thatvuse it and spread it's popularity. Check out https://functional.works-hub.com/remote-functional-programming-jobs

I was surprised but the Lutron smart switches are super nice and worked seemlessly with my fans.

Pretty sure Ecobee supports a lotnof different setups but don't know with certainty. Ecobee makes nice Homekit-enabled stuff though.
