If you look at redplanetlabs github repo, there's a ton of low level manipulation of 'JVM bytecode assembly language', e.g. https://github.com/redplanetlabs/defexception/blob/master/sr... ,

You can write 'type signatures' easily in clojure code, there's dozens of options, they're just only checked at runtime (and usually relegated to developer builds). if you combine that with good code coverage, it stops b

I've been using the beta every single day. I run a NixOS VM on my Macbook Pro, its transformed the way I develop. Checkout Hashicorp founder's NixOS setup here https://github.com/mitchellh/nixos-config

I like Salvia the most (not for the faint hearted) partly because of how unusual/odd experience it is it doesn't imprint me a bunch of spiritual beliefs afterwards. I feel like I learn more about the mechanism of perception from i

Isn't tesla's competitive advantage that they don't buy their batteries from the current supply chains? Even the total world's supply of lithium ion batteries wouldn't be enough to provide for model 3 program.

Yes, I think those are all valid points/weaknesses. While I don't personal struggle with understanding the internals of git or om.next the learning curve is no joke. The community is aware of this, but it's still alpha softwa

Om.next shows it's strength when you're working on a complex application 5k+ lines of code. A core abstractions of om.next (and graphQL) is to express data dependencies of your react classes in a query language (e.g. component X d

I hadn't heard of VoltDB until now, but have been following jepsen for a while. I wish more project did what you did. Congrats on the increased reliability.

I love Spacemacs, I'm a total convert I barely ever use vim now -- best of both worlds.

"My hypothesis is that I procrastinate on those things that I was naturally good at during childhood" Yup exactly, because there's an intense emotional connection to those activities, so we avoid them sometimes since they pro

If you have a passion for something, you'll want to spend every waking hour on it. I miss the days of childhood though where I could build what I want on a whim, at large companies you don't always get to build what you want to du

Note to self: when you see the rocket crash with your eyes, count to 5 seconds then cover your ears.

Cool, this can be done in any language with typing. For languages with dynamic typing, you would just check the type at runtime.

I think this is particularly true if you want to ever become CEO or VP of a much larger company. How else do you prove you're fit to lead a company or division except by a start-up betting it's future on you. I don't know what the stats are

I for one am glad you're nailing the editor part first. Because if this is ever to replace my usage of emacs, you have to at least get that part right. This hasn't yet replaced my emacs, but i'm more optimistic now. Some editing features mi

I don't understand either. Let history decide, we use Clojure & Java for server-side stuff it saves us countless hours/problems.

Go can't do immutable updates efficiently (yet) because it doesn't have a persistent data structure implementation for vectors, maps, sets, etc.

It works perfectly on mac. Great work Chris, this demo gave me a sense of an Apple product "it just works", i typed in code and immediately it just worked.
