I really enjoyed the documentary, and it certainly made me want to revisit Clojure!

I agree! I have kept an eye on Elm for many years, I think the simplicity and architecture is great, but the language itself never clicked for me.

Then I was made aware of Lustre[1], an Elm inspired web framework in Gleam. I have done two small projects in it now and I really enjoy working with both Lustre and Gleam.

I have started working on a standalone, self-hosted, service for an album club (music, that is).

Members takes turn pitching one album per week. Support comments and a handful of emoji-based reactions.

Integration with Spotify for easy pitching and playing (by links only, users are not required to have a Spotify account).

Plan is to keep the clubs fairly small and invite only.

Building it in Gleam which is a lot of fun!

Wait. What? Was that the case? Young me never realised that! =)

It was. And you could do things with moving it to previous releases of DOS too if I remember. QB.EXE the actual compiler was compatible, too.

What is even more sad is that not even Swedish regions buy Scania or Volvo busses. Where I live the region just replaced all local busses with BYD.

Are they making fully electric buses there? Do they have capacity to manufacture thousands of buses annually?

Not if they have to compete with China on price, they won't

I used to log my weight lifting in an app but I found it really distracting and time consuming so I gave up. For the last few weeks I have been bringing a small notebook and doing my logging by pen and paper instead. I find it much more relaxing and I only use it to check what weights I used last time, so I don't really miss anything.

Pen and paper is severely underrated today.

Whitesmiths, if I remember correctly was used in Symbian C++. I remember I found it quite odd (as most things in Symbian) when I started using it. But, it grew on me and I actually thought it improved the readability.

I have never thought about that!

Even if the last thing going through my head before sleep is related to programming (which is quite often the case), I cannot remember having dreamed of computers, ever.

> MongoDB operates in the space as a leader in non-relational database solutions, managing data formats across text, video, and more to support businesses. This sounds complex, but it really just involves storing and using company data in a secure, useful, and organized way for analysis and improved customer experiences.

This made me laugh =)
