Then you end up with a messed up tendon for months because you were holding something in a wrong orientation for too long 🙃 Do you have an ergonomics advisor in your workplace?

i'll ask about that.

lol, be the first then?

damn zuck for profaning my favourite comic series: the Metabarons

ok I see what you did there @U8MJBRSR5, nice one lol

Sometimes it seems that some people use alternative Slack clients that simply don't support threads. E.g. when someone @ you outside of a thread you started but still continues the thread narrative.

good one haha

Thanks I like to feel clever 😄

Then came John McCarthy, Eyebrows thick and swarthy. Who's S-Expressions, Made lasting impressions, As LISP, before he was forty.

Friedman appeared left-field, Plus, a Guy who Steeled, They not only Schemed, They Virtual Machined, For with Java, also, they dealed.

In continuation, here’s Rich Hickey, A fellow fairly tricky, An errant C-sharp composer, Who since invented Clojure, Now Java keeps taking the mickey.

(The PDF linked above is better, with pictures :)))

😄 what does taking the mickey mean

"https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/take+the+mickey" is British slang for joking around, teasing in a friendly way etc. (Context is one make jokes about Java, but one doesn't think Java itself is a joke, because truthfully we're all using Java under the hood.)

to be fair:

Math.sqrt(4, 8)
2
Math.sqrt(4)
2

Just in case you write CLJ-compatible code or just prefer this way, CLJS has a "magic" Math namespace that you can use as if it was the Math Java class in CLJ:

cljs.user=> (Math/sqrt 2)
1.4142135623730951

It's documented, so it can be considered a public API that anyone can use.

you're thinking about it the wrong way, we should be thanking Mark for endorsing Clojure this way. Really big of him.

I wonder if all the objects in his world implement IObj !

pvp yoga = bjj?

the worst part is “that’s so meta” will no longer be an allowable phrase. although it seemed to have fallen out of fashion ~5-10 years ago anyway, that’s still a disappointment

cannot believe the Zuck was the one to finally kill Aristotelianism

real nice how zuck's vision of the future is identical to how people 30 years ago thought the "smart homes of the future" would look by now, except holograms were too hard so we gave up on them and just made everyone wear special glasses

"that's so meta" could be repurposed to mean "that's so delusional"

In what way has Zuck killed Aristotelianism? Sorry, I'm probably missing the context here.

@U0CMVHBL2 A joke, and a bit of a reach. Originally the Greek word transliterated as "meta" just meant "after". Our modern sense of it is ultimately Aristotle's fault. He wrote a book called "Physics", and then he wrote the book his students were to study afterward, "After Physics" – aka "Metaphysics". This gave the field of metaphysics its name, and from there the prefix was reinterpreted to denote a kind of abstraction, which is how we use it today.

I actually knew a lot of that context already 🙂. Thanks for explaining anyway. Zuck might kill philosophy in the modern mind of people who spend too much time using his platforms, but he isn't alone in that regard.

And I've heard that it wasn't Aristotle who called it "After Physics", but later scholars/monks/etc. who called it that since in its usual arrangement it came after the one he called "Physics".

but I don't have any authoritative quote for that.

Yes, that's correct afaik – I simplified to be brief

> Zuck might kill philosophy in the modern mind of people who spend too much time using his platforms, but he isn’t alone in that regard. My interpretation is just that it will be hard to separate the word’s meaning from the cultural context of fb
