It’s possible for something to be more than one thing at the same time. You can both leave a company as a protest of its politics and move on to some other venture that you have the means for.
And anyway the article, which doesn’t dig deeper into this person’s motives, doesn’t even paint it as a protest. It could simply be not wanting to participate in harm, which is not exactly the same as a protest.
This looks amazing! Good job. I don't know that I'd ever use it because there's never enough time for all the things, but thanks for the few minutes of aesthetic satisfaction that brought.
Good god the Southpoint Apple store is terrible. I went there once because I wanted to buy a new iPad and apple pencil so I could participate in a digital painting workshop the next day, and they wanted me to wait 45 minutes before they would help me. I said that I wasn't going to wait that long and hopefully wasn't an asshole about it (it's never cool to be a jerk to retail employees!) and they did manage to ring me up within about 5 minutes.
The experience was just so weirdly baffling and frustrating and I've since avoided the place. I realize this sounds like the height of American consumer entitlement but it was truly bizarre that the response to "Hi I would like to hand you more than $1,200" was "please wait 45 minutes."
Then there was also the confusion about who to actually to talk to in the first place if you wanted to buy something. Do I talk to the person at the door? Nope, because I don't have an appointment. I should just stand in a corner and hope someone finally talks to me. It was truly amazing that Apple could so thoroughly botch the experience of exchanging money for goods.
Are you a vegetarian? I am! And as a vegetarian, I can tell you that I love it when restaurants sell Impossible Burgers. First, I don't cook (unless you count making a bowl of cereal cooking), so it's not like I'm going to make it for myself. Second, restaurant dining is about more than just calorie intake - sometimes I want to go to a restaurant, and as a vegetarian I appreciate when they have tasty things for me to eat. Third, if I'm going to a restaurant as part of a larger social gathering, or as a company outing or whatever - in other words, if I'm at a restaurant when I would not have otherwise chosen to (which I'm sure doesn't happen to just me!), then I appreciate it when there are options for me.
Your opinion is unpopular because it is an ignorant opinion. American policing has its roots in "slave patrols" - it is an institution (like many American institutions) founded on anti-blackness. Americans are socialized to see Black people as inherently dangerous, and Black and brown people continue to be policed much more than white people.
Your comment is rightfully being downvoted because it reveals that you haven't even tried to research this topic. It is offensive because it continues to perpetuate attitudes that contribute to violence toward Black and brown people. It is also offensive because it is _so easy_ to educate yourself and contribute informed opinions instead of ignorant ones. One place to start is "The New Jim Crow" by Michelle Alexander. I really hope you take the time to read it and other books that explain what it's really like to be Black in America.
I think that's debatable. Hiding the content allows the learned to focus on the content at hand. If the user prefers to always be looking at a TOC, they still have that option.
Or maybe it makes sense to show the TOC by default, with the option to hide it. Either way, I'm curious to hear more about your reasoning for why it's so horrible.
I'm going to be contrary and suggest that, when you're first learning a Lisp, write a macro every time you think "hey this might be a good place to write a macro" - and then try to achieve the same behavior with a function. There's no better way to learn when macros are useful and when they over-complicate things.
I've changed the title in case there have been other Clojure-only job boards out there, but as far as I can tell RemoteOK and other job boards do not focus exclusively on Clojure. They maybe allow you to filter to show only Clojure jobs, or have a Clojure section, but I consider that different from catering exclusively to Clojure jobs :)
I plan on creating more content :) I wrote a blog post with a couple more details (http://www.flyingmachinestudios.com/programming/brave-and-ne..., fourth paragraph). But yes, I want to cover testing, web development, and more. Right now I'm working on an in-depth explanation of reducers.
edit: also, clojure applied is a good book for what you're talking about
