We need both! In the meantime, I like the idea of ending subsidies for fossil fuels since it incentivizes building a moonshot technology that everyone can adopt, and curbing our reliance on them so that we have time to build better technolo

In certain cases. For example, there are some people at Equifax that should be held accountable. Doctors and perhaps civil engineers can be held liable in the US. What is the consequence exactly?

I can definitely understand why a team could dissolve. But there are really only upsides for employees to understand why they're being paid X and to be able to model their behavior after the person that gets paid Y.

A friend told me about their big company's interview process for interns from Ivy Leagues, which was getting flown out to a party and then getting an internship. The candidates weren't asked any technical questions, since they wer

Did you come up with a solution for recompiling the clojurescript files only when cljs and cljc files were changed? The watch task fires whenever a file in the resources or src directories changes.

I retract the statement that Rich uses Cursive. I misinterpreted a tweet a while ago, and hope that I didn't cause too much harm. Instead, I'd like to say that Cursive is extremely nice and that you shouldn't let Emacs scare

Please see my reply just above yours. You can use vim with clojure too!

Hold on now, there are a lot of very stable options. Rich reportedly uses CursiveClojure: https://cursiveclojure.com/ and there's also vim-fireplace: https://github.com/tpope/vim-fireplace By all

Coming up with names for groups of data that you want to be atomic isn't that useful, though.

It's the difference between updated and released. The last Emacs commit was this morning around 9:30am. There is ongoing development on both editors.

Hmm. I signed up a few minutes ago with my university email, but didn't get anything. Does it take a while? Edit: Aha. It doesn't work for everyone, even within the top 500.

I like the new look. What is the icon in the bottom-right and top-left for?

Ugh. They did this with the feynman lectures, too. Edit: Jumped the gun. Just downloaded it as an mp4 to watch in vlc.

I'm also interested in any answers to this. I haven't come across anything as easy and usable as Thunderbird. kmail for KDE seems OK. It's not my favorite, but it feels lighter to me. Considering using Emacs.

You can always use god-mode if you don't like holding C so much. Then you can just hold p or n to move the line. https://github.com/chrisdone/god-mode

Although this project renames functions, that isn't all that it does. Accomodating new users is very necessary for adoption of any language, library or project, especially by having reasonable defaults. All working professional program

That's really cool. I've wanted your library for a long time!

Yep! It's necessary to modify slime (or light table? I've been interested in making a CL plugin for it) to take advantage of this syntax, but the absense of sane reader macros in the spec has always driven me nuts.

The functions are basically inconsistent in both name and argument order. I think that's one of the problems they're working on correcting (a generic elt/getf), and more obvious ways of creating and using non-list data struct

I'll have to defer to this paper. It mentions that the core persistent vectors are cache-friendly, but I would suspect that the llvm will always be an upper-bound for the jvm. infoscience.epfl.ch/record/169879/files&#x2F

Some time ago, hypirion wrote about how persistent vectors are implemented in Clojure. http://hypirion.com/musings/understanding-persistent-vector-... There are actually several different implementations of the core da

That's just the way records work in Clojure. Methods that are implemented within a record have to come after their interface.

I actually agree with this article. It's a lot more trouble to wait for the web to standardize than it is to support a couple different versions of an app, which usually has potential to offer a better user experience anyway. (More dev
