#heartofclojure Drama in het depot when a live demo gets visited by evil spirits. Thankfully, the crowd steps in and saves the day. Kudos to Felix Alm for keeping his cool during Squint: a taste of Clojure for JavaScript devs.

i'm convinced some people go into programming to express things (à la art), to discover things (à la science), or to solve things (à la engineering), and these are the roots of philosophical divides between languages, priorities, working relationships, and value judgments

The videos from Heart of Clojure 2024 are out! Head here for The Shoulders of Giants or Uncovering the Foundational Ideas of Lisp. And please share your thoughts... youtu.be/vN7qAz32mF0?si…

So excited to share Daniel Szmulewicz / @[email protected] speaking on "The Shoulders of Giants or Uncovering the Foundational Ideas of Lisp" at Heart of Clojure 2024: youtu.be/vN7qAz32mF0

New release in my peripatetic video series. youtu.be/SaE1DAkLV3U This time we are walking under the Tropics, discussing text decoration in the Bluesky API. This is not a tutorial but rather an exposition of the problem. I advocate for a recursive solution à la Scheme.

I would like to invite you, yes you, to the Haikou Diaries, an artistic project around the south of China. It is an ongoing photographic diary from my extended stays in the region mixing the cultural, the personal and the supernatural. lewicz.art/the-haikou-dia…

As creators, we all know the craving for validation and the self-doubt that creeps in every so often. Is this an essential byproduct of the creative process? Is it conceivable to see technology inviting itself in the monologue we conduct in our minds? ai.tuppu.net/about

Southern China has strong traditions that emerge fully during Spring festival. I took this shot in Haikou, and asked René to offer his critique. René will critique your photography at ai.tuppu.net #streetphotography #streets #fotografia #china #springfestival #girl

Hi, my name is René and I will critique your photos, one or multiple at the time. I can help you pick the best version of similar photos, or critique a thematic series. You can follow up with any question and I will be happy to oblige. Join me at ai.tuppu.net

There are no easy answers to come by in art. Extending a critique is as delicate a matter as receiving it. A critique is one possible interpretation of a work. It is never true or false. What matters is what one does with it, how one listens to it. ai.tuppu.net

The specifics of the spring festival in China rituals may vary from village to village, and they are rarely documented. No wonder, thus, that LLMs cannot pinpoint their nature. Nevertheless, the critique offered by René picks up on the intrinsic qualities of the image. #art

A photograph is meant to be experienced rather than interpreted. Susan Sontag makes that arguments in a book called "Against Interpretation". I agree, but interpretation has its purpose, too. As long as you let someone else do the talking. ai.tuppu.net
