BOOM! What a beautiful #SolarFlare (just now). This eruptive event reached the X-class level, and produced this stunning coronal mass ejection. The flare source region will rotate to face Earth in the coming week. Further strong solar activity is likely! #spaceweather

I was on the Apropos #Clojure show giving a tour of my programmatic #chiptune software. The audience and hosts were so supportive, I was unprepared for the level of excitement generated just from some simple notes and noises made with code. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDfm...

New In Print - by @alexmiller.bsky.social and @lambduhhh.bsky.social Challenge your knowledge of Clojure with 25 short brain teasers, sometimes with surprising results! Each code challenge illustrates Clojure's elegant design, explaining how/why it works. pragprog.com/titles/... #Clojure

My favourite thing about Clojure is that there are no "migration guides".. no need to write, read, or use them. You just update your dependencies if and when you want to, then carry on. This is how it should be.

I'm running State of ClojureScript 2024 Survey state-of-clojurescript.com If you ever wanted to know what's happening in cljs world, and using the language at work or for hobby projects, fill out the survey. And share it with others! Results will be shared in January next year.

We really need a Clojure Wrapped script that counts your parens for the year from your github commits

Current hobby/learning portfolio: piano, synthesizers, beekeeping, astronomy, funk, financial planning, ways to transport giant dogs comfortably in cars, did I mention bees, live music. I'm probably more likely to skeet about that stuff these days than Clojure, but prob some Clojure too.

Seems like a good day to remember the superb owls and owlets we had in our yard last year

PLUG TIME: I started an unofficial Matrix space for Strangers, called Infinite Loopers: matrix.to#/%23infinite...

We have sold past the original max for this (final!) year's Strange Loop conference but are working through constraints to allow more to attend. If you want to go, register soon... https://ti.to/strange-loop/2023

Still adding the @paperswelove.org track talks to the Strange Loop session page https://thestrangeloop.com/2023/sessions.html (see end) and hope to finalize a schedule soon.

Why is there no way in Apple Music to see who played on a freaking track. It’s a RECORD in all the meanings for crying out loud. We have failed.
