ClojureScript is great and it'd be my first choice if performance doesn't matter. For me the drawbacks are that bundlesizes tend to be bigger than using js. Profiling is much harder due to the output from the google closure compil

Here are my observations after doing clojure for a bit more than a year coming from doing js for two decades. It’s fast, both clj and cljs but performance is non deterministic and as with most functional languages it can be hard to reason a

It seems like some of the interpretations of quantum mechanics can be falsifiable with this method. Very Cool! In fact it looks like it would be possible to probe my favorite solution to the measurement problem: https://en.wikipe

The biggest bang for the buck for me has been using functional techniques where immutability is perhaps the most important thing. A good way to get started is to make a project with react/redux.

I agree that high inflation is really bad, but during the last decade there has been several rounds of QE without causing particularly high inflation. The recent QE package from the FED is about 2000USD per person in the US, perhaps some of

Yes you can but that's how you get bugs. I used to work in the online gambling industry for 15 years and there are a large number of use cases on a gambling front end where you do financial arithmetic. I have seen equality between 2

I like Robert Fisk, he is hell of a solid correspondent but on this case he is absolutely wrong. The Douma gas attack has been investigated not only by the OPCW, but by organisations such as the UN, the Red Cross and pretty much all serious

I think this has to do with the Great Recession. Prolonged economic insecurity is associated with a poor mental health. And that is in turn associated with self medication with things like alcohol and opioids. https://www.ncbi.nl

Same reaction but different type of project and language. Immutable data with persistent data structures was a game changer for me. There is place for OO but it does feel like the last 20 years our profession has been suffering from collect
