> pre-owned ex-corporate ThinkPads are sold for very little

Anyone knows a website in Germany that sells these Thinkpads? TIA

Yukihiro Matsumoto is an Emacs user as well[1]. He is also the original author of ruby-mode.el[2].

There is also a native implementation of Clojure on the Common Language Runtime (CLR) https://github.com/clojure/clojure-clr

Do you have a link to the proposal and the discussion? I am quite interested to see the implementation details. Thanks!

I also found this blog post useful for using Vim with Common Lisp https://susam.net/lisp-in-vim.html

Here[1] is a nice breakdown of Zippers in Clojure. I am not the author of the post but I found it very helpful when I wanted to learn more about Zippers in Clojure. There are some nice illustrations as well.

He has also recorded two videos on youtube demonstrating some of emacs' features that I really like.

> My Ruby projects often have a wrapper that reloads code and puts me in pry prompt. I can edit code and introspect objects live as the code changes.

That sounds very interesting! Can you please share the wrapper that does all that magic? Thanks!

mruby[1] fits that category too. It can be used with H2O[2] server as well. There was a discussion here a couple of months ago regarding some use cases[3].

Thanks for the post!

Another great blog post series about implementig Raft in Go that I found is this one https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2020/implementing-raft-part-0-...

I am not quite sure how this particular feature will look but Emacs can be already used as a SQL client. Here is a short demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D97vDu_BhwA

Here is an introduction blog[1] and the related mode[2]

When I started using Paredit I found "The Animated Guide to Paredit"[1] very helpful. It basicaly demonastrates some of the most useful commands in short videos.

> I want something much simpler, so I use VS code with a "REST Client" plugin

I follow the same approach. Emacs, Verb[0] and org-mode. An alternative to Verb would be restclient.el[1] but I like Verb more because it works as an extension to org-mode which is great for documentation.

No news about Ractors! The new concurrency facilities that Ruby 3.0 introduced. Anyone has an insight if there was any further development on that front?

That's very interesting! It seems that big Ruby shops like Shopify and Stripe are investing a lot on improving Ruby's performance. Here is a tweet from Stripe's CEO regarding the performance of their custom Ruby compiler https://twitter.com/patrickc/status/1410269843585069056?lang...

There are a lot of interesting comments in the Lisp subreddit regarding the second part of the blog: https://www.reddit.com/r/lisp/comments/q5f7u5/revenge_of_lis...

> And doing things dynamically means we can enforce stronger constraints than possible with static type systems.

Can someone please explain this to a novice like me?

Is this related to the Northern Ireland protocol?

> I wish ClojureCLR weren't dead too

Is there any reason for saying that? Checking the commits history on Github[1], the project seems still alive.

[1]https://github.com/clojure/clojure-clr/commits/master

One thing that I would like to mention as a Clojure newbie is the community. I am super impressed by how much friendly they are. I mainly use /r/clojure on Reddit and the Clojurians on Slack.

That is very interesting approach! I’ve never worked on a project that doesn’t use AR relationships e.g has_many... at all.

Do you have an example app or a blog post exposing this pattern? It would be very interesting to see how this actually works. Thanks you very much for bringing this up!

> I can send invites, just DM me on twitter

Seems like DM is closed. Thanks for the great article!

One interesting thing that I read the other day from a lead developer at Gov.uk was about how fast they managed to built a service within a couple of hours[1]

What I also really like about Gov.uk is that they seem to have their apps open source[2]

I am trying to build something similar and I was wondering if there are any legal issues with showing content from the source website into mine, in your case for example the content is the user's comments.

In this page https://www.ycombinator.com/legal/ under the Intellectual Property Rights is written:

Except as expressly authorized by Y Combinator, you agree not to modify, copy, frame, scrape, rent, lease, loan, sell, distribute or create derivative works based on the Site or the Site Content, in whole or in part, except that the foregoing does not apply to your own User Content (as defined below) that you legally upload to the Site.

I really wonder if I need to ask for permission from each website about showing some text from their website into mine?

> it cracks open Emacs on the notes file, adds a timestamp, appends the optional text

Do you mind sharing how you have setup Emacs to do that? Thanks!

Another useful source for learning Tmux that helped me a lot is the free videos from Upcase[1]

They even show how to use Tmux with Vim which is my favourite setup

[1] https://thoughtbot.com/upcase/tmux

You can choose to skip them

  rails new app_name --skip-action-cable --skip-action-text etc...

Most of these libraries can be skipped, just type:

  rails new -h  see all the options

Edit: in case you decide later on that you need them you can install them as you described with `gem actiontext` etc...

Drifting Ruby is another one https://www.driftingruby.com/episodes

In addition to the post I will add here a nice video[1] that was recently uploaded from the very well known in Clojure community Sean Corfield which demonstrates the functionality and power of Deps.edn.
