CL may not but other lisps do. Clojure’s concurrency is just so hawt
I am also pretty stoked about the doom performance improvements lol
Yeah that was the only really surprising part to me. So every time copilot breaks my source code to “fix” its crappy unit tests, does it know what it’s doing?
The whole redfall thing was tragic. It was crazy watching Arkane become a laughing stock. Some of the most talented game devs ever. Prey, dishonored
That is so wicked cool, I’m going to try this later today!!
Sounds like a super cool project. Gonna post the design anywhere?
That happened to me to! A similar moment of weakness: I got tired of being locked out of like half of small business profiles. A local brewery (very small brewery, but top tier beers) posts on instagram if they’ll even…
I mean it’s still worth doing, even if AI can do it. But I definitely empathize with that bit of AI ennui.
Greenville, South Carolina is also totally covered in trees. I think they have a bunch of laws that new developments have to plant trees, cutting a tree down requires planting multiple others nearby. The whole city is…
I just check the git diff after claude code writes stuff. Stage things before letting it run wild so I can undo whatevs.
So many of the top comments look like parodies of HN comments
Yeah I’ve been thinking that LLM unit tests are basically snapshot tests. Just sorta ossify things in place. If they break, you just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and have the LLM fix them. It’s like they were never there! So it’s just…
Anecdotally, coworkers are writing a LOT more unit tests. By which I mean NOBODY is writing unit tests, but Claude is generating a ton of em. We’re talkin 300 lines of unit tests for 20 line changes that are already…
Not sure if OP is actually in here, but anybody interested in this topic should absolutely watch this talk by Matt Might: https://www.janestreet.com/tech-talks/algorithm-for-precisio... It’s a fascinating story similar…
Super cool but I did get this error while scrolling the timeline on safari/iOS Application error: a client-side exception has occurred while loading jivx.com (see the browser console for more information).
That is an absolutely crazy story, I hope you have it written down somewhere besides HN comments lol
I think the hack bypassed 2FA. If you can call “asking for account access” a hack lmao
Ok dang. Well. I guess I have no reason not to dive fully into the elixir now. I’ve toyed around with it a handful of times and I really like it. I like the clojure-ey immutability and threading operators and such. And…
That’s a good point! And I suppose you don’t have willy-nilly reassignment of properties like you do in ruby/php/js.
It also takes a long time for the ecosystem to catch up. It can be hard to retrofit static types over something that wasn’t built with them in mind

Are JVM virtual threads not on par with golangs's concurrency? I think core.async even uses virtual threads now
Not the person you're replying to, but have you tried TypedClojure? I've always thought clojure-with-types would literally be the perfect language, but I also read TypedClojure is more of a research project than a real…
