pmatos··on Kangaroo tendons could rebuild human knees better, stronger
I just happened to suffer an ACL tear 5 weeks ago. A week later I had ligamys implanted to great success. Four weeks post-op not only can I walk, I can also cycle. I am surprised this is not mentioned in the article. It is true ligamys only works if done soon after the tear but it would seem to my naive few that it would cover most cases.

I am curious - nice interface BTW. Is the code for this anywhere?
pmatos··on Building a Compiler with Multi-Level Intermediate Representation (MLIR) (2020) [pdf]
That's something I have thinking about lately. It would be interesting to know if there's any prior work of implementing delimited continuations on MLIR.

> We all leave behind a "small" but far-reaching legacy that ripples out from our short lifetime. Each of the thousands of interactions we have with with other people and our general environment have a tiny but real impact that doesn't necessarily diminish to zero after we die.

What you do in life, echoes in eternity.

pmatos··on Racket v7.2
We (https://linki.tools) use it for our main development tools product - 100% Racket in production. Check S10 (https://linki.tools/s10).

Racket is an absolutely gorgeous language. It's the kind of language that might look complicated but the important thing is to start with the basics. Yes, there are complex features in the language and big words that might be scary : continuations, impersonators, collapsible contracts, macros. However most of the time you don't really need these features.

Even the basic features of the language are enough to make your software shine. After you have a basic grasp, start to tackle other features of the language refactoring your code as you go.

Another great feature is the community. racket-users mailing list (hosted in googlegroups) is a great place to start asking questions.

You'll have a lot of fun. Enjoy your time in Racket lang. #not-a-typo

pmatos··on Racket v7.2
I just want to point out that you can use other editors: emacs, vim, vs code. If you really want to stay with DrRacket, feel free to open a feature request about this on the github racket/DrRacket repo.

pmatos··on Ask HN: Companies using Racket?
We, at Linki Tools [0], use Racket for our main product: S10 [1]. Not hiring at the moment but most likely will in the near future. I always hire remote (contracting up to now) and by the time I have to hire remote for racket I don't think I will have any problems finding a fine dev.

If you're in the Frankfurt area, I will be presenting at the first After Work Racket [2] on Thursday, the 8th. Come join us.
