@aral unintentionally, I always think of insurance companies as the villain, because they always look for their own benefit in situations that might be hard for people. I live in Ireland but never used Vhi. But i don't think they are any different than the rest of them.

@cleopatra yeah it's super annoying 😂
@cleopatra RGB to CMYK?
Whenever I'm emotional (any emotion, sadness, loneliness, happiness ...) I pick up my guitar and start playing and recording myself. As long as that emotion stays with me I play and refine the song I'm playing. I give it a name and store it in an album called "That man". When I listen to any of those songs later, the same emotions resonate within me and I relive those moments, good or bad.
To me, #music is the best medium for emotions.

@claudiom i've been watching it since I was 18 I guess, I'm now. 😂
Just watched the 1000th episode of #OnePiece. It literally gave me the chill for 20 minutes. So much memory and nostalgia. I grew up with it and it's still the best.
@danialbehzadi @haghighi :)) doesn't count

I just finished watching a video that shows how mutation works in evolution in a computer simulation. He has made the whole thing using OpenSource tools and the results are fascinating! I can’t emphasise enough on how such videos and explorations are missing from online wold. The idea is simple, the implementation is relatively straightforward and yet the results are super awesome.
I strongly suggest it everyone as the explanations are good for biologists and IT folks:
When someone asks me where to begin in order to become an engineer or a scientist, my answer is usually like:
1. Learn to speak English (if you don't speak it already)
2. Learn how to ask smart questions.
3. Question everything
4....
But usually people miss the point of 2 and 3.
The forgettable
@Sandra indeed. Fun to talk about and even more fun to work on
@Sandra cool, thanks for your valuable input.
@Sandra
Also forgot to ask that, how do you feel about reader macros and extensibility of a Lisp in general ?
(judging by your preferences around ascii chars usage I might be able to guess the answer though 😉 )
@Sandra
Is Brev open source ?
How do you feel about type systems ?
Also coming from Clojure, probably you're familiar with the simplicity vs complexity debate. How do you define complexity in terms of a programming language and specially a lisp
