Seems to be enforcing ‘ubiquitous language’ at the machine level - not some kind of mathematical dual where one is invertible to the other - but enforcing soft skills as hard skills. ‘protobuf specs dont have enough information for us t

Sorry if my language was unclear, I meant to highlight this line from the wiki article: "There is no proposed mechanism of action by which the positions and motions of stars and planets could affect people and events on Earth in the wa

One reason I often hear astrology is not taken seriously by the scientific community, as in findings like 'athletes often have aries rising on their birth chart' are ignored and not evaluated further, is because there is no empiri

There is a cut and dry relationship between bitrate and audio fidelity. You simply cannot encode higher frequency audio in lower bitrate samples. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyquist%E2%80%93Shannon_sampli...

I really doubt there was any human review of the targeting settings, likely just automated verification. If I'm writing a tool that allows users to enter their own n-grams is there an expectation that I also need to write a tool that d

I made oroboros for working with large collections of app and server configuration that need to be shared across many systems. Previously I had been using an automation tool to template my configuration variables and found myself frustrated

Nice read, I had to think about a few of these. In particular (a == 0) && (a == 1) && (a == 2). Here's a fun value for a: var a = { called: -1, valueOf: function() { this.called += 1; r

React inlines event handlers since it manages them through it's virtual event system. For more information on why react breaks preconceived notions of best practices I recommend checking out http://2013.jsconf.eu/speake

I just started playing with docker and it is very cool, but I am not sold on complete isolation of every service in a stack. I've taken to building my containers using packer & ansible, with docker acting as something between git a

To paraphase Rich -- "promises are the one-night stand of asynchronous programming, core.async is aiming for a longer term relationship." The big win isn't that you have the ability to await and fulfill messages, but rather t

by eggsby 13y ago
To be fair, a lot of the syntax magic of core.async happens in its macros -- in js that is supported by the cljs compiler. As I understand it, because of this it'd be impossible for core.async to be used as a js "library" (a

Your criticism seems to be framed against where we are at today. As programmers we have a fragmented feedback cycle regardless of whether we are writing our software in Erlang or Lisp or C++. While it is true that realistic matters like &#x

Pedestal is still very alpha and I'm not sure that I would use it for any of my projects... yet. For instance, using the example apps provided I couldn't get the chat application to work properly -- if I opened up two windows to the app, on

For getting around linux I've found no better helpers than manpages and the cheatsheets by Peteris Krumins[1]. I notice this isn't offered as a pdf or image, is the idea that someone will come and visit the site when their server is in trou

How is it that referential transparency (the ability to swap a reference with it's value: no hidden inputs) and homoiconicity (both the source and the resulting syntax tree sharing the same structure) are mutually exclusive? What homoiconic

The comic references clojure in multiple sections (multicore, lazy), I think you'll find the tutorial and documentation guilds still alive and well there.

Thanks, I'll work on elucidating the metaphor and being explicit about what I mean when I say things like 'duplicates input' (uses the parameter more than once in it's body, this is a term from Smullyan), as well as clarifying some of the l

Thanks! I actually got the bug to write this post from reading your wonderful js combinator book[1] over the holiday, which reminded me that I also had a copy of To Mock a Mockingbird in my to read pile. When I got to the bit where Smullyan

Nice, I enjoyed Jim's talk where he derived the combinator using clojure[1]. In it he referenced another talk that he cites as an influence, "Programming With Nothing"[2] by Tom Stuart where he writes fizzbuzz in ruby using only lambda appl

While it's true that you need to turn things like a NodeList from js into a clj seq you don't need to write these utilities yourself; clj->js and js->clj can both be found in cljs core: https://github.com/clojure/clojurescript/blob

DNT is pretty laughably ill conceived. Vague definitions of what is able to be tracked, what constitutes a first party and third party (Is a browser vendor first party or third party?). Some of the major proponents are companies like Google

I'd argue that the problems in large projects are primarily architecture problems, that backbone's philosophy of 'bring your own architecture' means how well an app is structured is entirely up to its authors rather than defined by library

Why would I want to use or contribute to this over something like http://codemirror.net/ or the various tools powered by codemirror? (light table, jsbin, etc) edit: I see that this is also powered by codemirror, the editor itself, so what
