I wanted to use date-fns on the current project. But, the gotcha is due to its lack of timezone support many of its functions are inherently broken (e.g. startOfWeek). So, if you need rich calculations with timezone support watch out!

Funny, I have the same story from the other side. They could have chosen to not alienate and lay off the clojure team. We were pretty happy, working on interesting projects, independent enough to get things done. But, turns out paying more

Actually, though... If they've been monitoring everyone's internet traffic, it's feasible they have unwittingly downloaded illegal copies of media. Meaning they've committed copyright infringement on a massive scale?

Based on their feature list, it stores your email addresses and passwords encrypted on their servers, with your inky account password being the decryption key. The idea being that you can just login to your inky account on any computer and

So far the biggest annoyance is truncating results.. It's cute, but not very useful when exploring output. For example: (.. System (getProperties)) produces a lot of output, and I'd like to look through it to find a property. Maybe a way to

Fair point. It just seemed odd to use Procter & Gamble as an example of the most innovative companies while ignoring a < 15 year old company which now has a higher market cap than P&G (200M to 177M).

Sometimes a quantitative difference becomes a qualitative difference. For example, motorcycles are just faster horses (in some ways worse, like for off-roading), but you could hardly argue they are the same thing. I would argue that google

It seems disingenuous that this article completely ignores Google as a source of innovation in the last 15 years. A company which (pretty successfully) organizes the entirety of human knowledge, and lets you query it in milliseconds? Sounds

As a counter-argument to the "don't aim for 100%" thing, I would say that code coverage is more important in interpreted (and loosely typed) languages. Particularly with preventing regressions. For example, if you change the arity of a func

Cool! Just bought a tp-link wr703n for use as an Arduino wifi bridge (24 USD). We'll see how it goes. Thanks for the tip! That Ralink USB dongle looks like a great way to hook the Raspberry Pi up for internet, too.

I like the Noun Project, and I think it's cool, but I doubt its utility at the moment. For example, they have an icon for 'Kiwi', but none for 'Save'? Edit: They DO have several for 'Upload' and several different ones for 'Download'.
