Hi, printer expert here! This is not funny, printers only do when they're in extreme distress...

@catsalad It's the Christmas tree mode, turn off gently.

@catsalad That printer needs to be sent to the abattoir.

Wow wow wow, this is built-in into Sublime Text!

Sharing variables between condition and body branch in `cond`. Did you ever needed that? WDYT? #clojure

Niki Tonsky

Looks like what we really need is super-if

Oh no somebody used my password so I had to choose another one!

@grumpy_website but mom said it was my turn with the password!

It occurred to me that with variable fonts you can technically have one font that can stay pixel-perfect at several different sizes (10, 11 and 12 in this example, but can be any number)

It’s like hinting, but, you know, with modern tools

@nikitonsky Who called it Helpful Typographer and not Good Will Hinting?

My ClojureDart experience report from last week's Clojure Berlin meetup

Note: I mangled the story of ClojureDart's creation. The compiler was already underway before Roam decided they wanted it.

If you are an artist, you have to be really good or famous. But if you are a dog, you just need to sleep funny

Every automatic door I saw has one or more notes: please do not try to open, it’s automatic! Which means “bad design” — good design doesn’t need explanation.

But why is it bad? I have meditated on it a bit and concluded that it’s bad because door handles are still there. Remove them and you won’t need any notes.

@nikitonsky for every automatic door automation can be disabled at least for maintenance and there you need a handle

Tom Nijhof-Verhees

@nikitonsky the handle is a safety feature for of the door breaks or electric is gone. So removing it will not be enough

Maybe if you make it handle you can push in or put it very low so you force of habit does not kick in

Kirill Chernyshov

@nikitonsky no, removing the handle can't prevent people from forcing the door by pushing. What is really missing in most automatic doors is a clutch to disengage the support when a certain amount of force is applied.

Nothing saddens me more than seeing 3d models pretending to move their legs but those legs are not sticking to the ground. Come on game devs. I trust you can do better!

What are some crazy facts that sound impossible but are, in fact, true?

@nikitonsky we're closer in time to Cleopatra than she was to Rameses I who built the great pyramid.

Likewise closer in time to T-rex than it was to Stegosaurus. Humanity has been around for such a short time.

@nikitonsky farming was invented before the first blue-eyed person was born (and all blue-eyed people are descended from that one person)

Meanwhile, videos from the latest Clojure Berlin meetup are up:

Dave Liepmann — ClojureDart: an experience report youtube.com/watch?v=TKQuBYZ3HG

Nikita Prokopov — Clj-reload: A smarter way to reload code youtube.com/watch?v=PEDTXF6SQe

I also recorded a less rushed version of the talk on clj-reload, watch here youtube.com/watch?v=srvFRG5tdg

So Meetup now tries to manipulate their user’s sense of urgency? “Three people are looking at the same apartment right now!”

There’s even no good way to get rid of this (I DID go and already connected, I don’t need Meetup to force me to)

Niki Tonsky

It would be rad if Apple instead of ugly tinting for icons implemented good custom icons for apps.

I know it can be done through shortcuts but there’s annoying popup when you do it

Niki Tonsky

i will try one more time

SEND ME YOUR FUCKING WEBSITE AND OR BLOG I WANNA LOOK AT YOUR COOL FUCKING WEBSITE AND OR BLOG

FEEL FREE TO BOOST THIS REQUEST

Niki Tonsky

What’s the point of removing labels if it doesn’t give you extra space for more icons?

How it is / how it should be
