New In Print - by @alexmiller.bsky.social and @lambduhhh.bsky.social Challenge your knowledge of Clojure with 25 short brain teasers, sometimes with surprising results! Each code challenge illustrates Clojure's elegant design, explaining how/why it works. pragprog.com/titles/... #Clojure

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models. In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.
