Posts often reference people, events, technology, places, etc. Grok effortlessly provides background, counterpoints, etc. I find it amazingly useful.

The defence strongly objected multiple times and sought a mistrial over Daniels' testimony; Judge Merchan ultimately allowed most of it over their objections, setting up a likely issue for appeal by Trump's team.
With a compromised judicial process, there are ways to convict any person.
First said by a Soviet-era-someone, perhaps Stalin himself, WRT to his domestic adversaries.

So incredibly dangerous.
But, thankfully, the purity spirals have recently stopped spinning as aggressively.
The author is focused on answering questions around Tesla's ramp up, but the explanations are pretty comprehensive and general.
What acting.
He was one of the Gang of Four who wrote Design Patterns, but he wrote this library years before the book came out. It always seemed to me that he invented all the main patterns in the Interviews library before they were subsequently (nicely!) documented in the book (which went on to become a smash hit).
I've since realised that I much prefer functional programming (Clojure!) over OO, BUT, oh my goodness, what a truly groundbreaking and beautiful bit of work it was for its time. I read every line of code in that library, and I became a much better programmer for it.
And that's odd. Because that's the HUGE idea here. Yes, there are concerns about the harms associated with the UV end of the spectrum. But there are also the massive benefits from the Near Infrared (NIR) end.
Certain NIR wavelengths, around 810nm to 850nm, penetrate up to 5cm into the body and have a dramatically positive effect on mitochondria, creating the most powerful sub-cellular antioxidant (melatonin) to manage Oxidative Stress. This is well-established science now. Indeed, the exact mechanism is known (cytochrome c oxidase, etc).
It turns out that for good health it helps to be exposed to the Sun (and specifically NIR). We're more plant than we realise (a different mechanism obviously).
And, if you think about it, how on earth could we have not evolved to take advantage of the “free” energy provided by the Sun, particularly the NIR part of the spectrum which actually delivers about half of the energy.

If the author has a good case, he should just debate PG directly on his Coinbase stance. Because it sure feels to me that that's the real issue here. All the rest of the snarkiness is motivated by a disagreement on THAT issue.
- I'm wondering if re-frame-test might help?
- That ship has sailed a long time ago. And, even if it hadn't, I diagree that symbols would be better.
- I'm unfamiliar with angular's code. The Resources section lists larger apps which you can inspect.http://day8.github.io/re-frame/api/
Then click "Builtin effects" in the left Nav.
I'm actually working on the API docs at the moment and wrestling with codox and markdown interaction.
In this thread, I was responding to someone saying the concepts were simple but explained with too many buzzwords. I certainly have no recollection of someone of someone saying that before.
On the other hand, I have heard some say they'd want more code examples earlier. And, just as soon as I get time I'll be doing that. Unless you want to supply a PR yourself - given your posting frequency you seem very, very invested.
But to address the three points you raise...
I'm surprised to hear that there was a problem at the Reagent/React boundary. We find that works sooooo well.
I genuinely love Elm's claims around 0 runtime errors. It gets my nerdy juices flowing. But then I remind myself that this is simply not a problem I have. We might get one every blue moon (in production) and then it is fixed and deployed about 10 mins later. I have many technical challenges (eg. Kubernetes etc), but runtime problems is not in my top 20.
As to slowness, I can't comment without knowing more. We don't have that problem but that doesn't mean it might not exist in some domains. Then again, it could be bad design decisions. Dunno.
One thing for sure, I'd choose Elm over javascript any day, but ClojureScript is just working too well for us right now.
In our busy world, people want more immediate summaries and progress. These docs arose out of me trying to teach my team how to think about coding in Clojure and to use re-frame (we were all new to the language at the time), so they definitely have a didactic flavour.
I continue to nudge them in the direction you recommend.
What you reference is an attempt at a joke which requires certain cultural knowledge (Early Star Trek). On this point, I'm probably unlikely to change, and will just have to ask for your forgiveness. I like my docs to have an occasional joke, whether I'm the reader or the writer. But I am aware that this is not everyone's cup of tea (English cultural reference).
Could you point out the area which you found unnecessarily difficult, and I'll happily review it. Could you also include your background, so I know where you are coming from? The docs are a little oriented towards JS developers coming across, but perhaps you are already very experienced with Clojure and data-oriented design, which makes it seem like the concepts more obvious. Maybe.
IMO, the key thing that's happened since 2010 is that there has been a coup on "the progressive side" of politics, with "Classical Social Justice" (MLK-like) being replaced with "Critical Social Justice". It has been a mostly silent coup, until recently.
There's been a dramatic change, and most people on the left don't even realise it has happened, much less what it means. The shift is from empiricism, universalism, justice, equality of opportunity, and liberalism to ... frankly, pretty much the opposite of those values: lived experience, identity groups competing with winners and losers, maoist group-think, purity spirals, etc. The profoundness of the change can't be overstated.
IMO, the good people of the Left (classic liberals) have to take it back from those that have stolen it (the Critical Social Justic people). But, I'm not even sure that's even possible now. It has gone too far—what a disaster.
And because "classic liberals" want the left to go back to how it was ... they have almost become "the conservatives of the left" and they have been forced weirdly towards the centre - except those to the left of them are now more facist than those to their right. So weird.
Bottom line: the illiberal, Clitical Methods Left now holds sway (Newspapers, Hollywood, Universities) and it isn't going anywhere in a hurry.
The worst part about this is: the current sensemaking apparatus (newspapers, etc) has been hollowed out by the Internet. And they aren't even capable of analysis any more ... just activism (as a business model ... a way of generating clicks). How can a democracy function when the population is not informed? I really like Eric Wienstien's analogy for this: the Media has now become like Iago in Othello, whispering madness into the ear of those that will listen (on both sides).
All very broken. Suddenly.
