Yeah, that part made little sense to me. Clojure is one of the weakest lisps when it comes to macros, but you can still define and use them at run-time, and it has no image-based development.

by KingMob 3y ago
Ironically, Clojure is the weakest of the Lisps when it comes to metaprogramming. Reader macros are forbidden, and culturally, the community avoids macros. There are some good reasons to prefer functions of over macros, but one consequence

Agreed, I think people are sleeping on the relative disparities in tooling between langs, and it will only get worse. I feel this daily as a Clojure programmer. I've been playing with Copilot, and it's astonishing how much worse C

As someone who tried very hard to incorporate specter into their speech-to-text pipeline, I feel compelled to point out, it gave me a lot of NullPointerExceptions while learning. I don't think it's a great example of the value o

Access To Insight contains English-language translations of the Pali canon. Bhikkhu Bodhi and Thanissaro Bhikkhu are two of the preeminent Pali translators around, so most stuff with their name on it just means they translated it, not that

The section on HTTP/2 is definitely out-of-date in some respects. For starters, server push turned out to be very hard to use effectively, and in some situations could make things worse . It's been deprecated for awhile now, and

You've got the order backwards. Vice was started by three Canadian junkies (they literally called themselves that), and for years was only available in print in the hippest neighborhoods of major cities, while printing salacious materi

Very sorry to hear about your upbringing, btw. I hope writing your story helps.

Ironically, Hickey fired the one marketer they hired for Datomic. He lucked out when a unicorn went all in on it. Word around Cognitect was, Datomic was barely breaking even.

Is this what passes for "insight" in economics nowadays? Can't wait to hear this author use the same logic elsewhere. "It's legal to wish for someone's death, and legal to hand over briefcases full of cash. In

Lispers here, cackling with their S-expressions, listening to other languages complain about being unsure where a statement/expression ends.

Heh. Even most Cognitects had no access to the Datomic source.

The problem is his disdain for "easy". It's one thing to create composable building blocks, but frequently, 99% of users will use them in the exact same way, so you might as well produce the easy thing on top of the simple th

Gehtland was the CEO of Cognitect, and Relevance before that. I doubt he's written a line of code in years.

Alternatively, Datomic wasn't performing up to snuff, and they found it cheaper to buy Cognitect than do a DB migration :D

EDIT: Was looking at the obsolete RFC. The current version, RFC 7578, actually forbids all part headers other than "Content-Type, Content-Disposition, and (in limited circumstances) Content-Transfer-Encoding".

by KingMob 4y ago
You can technically add a Content-Length header for each part. It's not forbidden by the RFC, but nor is it common. It caused problems ( https://github.com/square/okhttp/issues/2138 ) for OkHttp, and they

The author agrees, but says many of the studies his critics point to were combining all computer use into generic "screen time". If true, the research hasn't even focused heavily enough on "social media" combined,

All kidding aside, it's obvious that Hickey is not entirely anti-OOP. But then, that's not what I said; I said he was "anti-inheritance". And my complaint is that unlike many other places in Clojure, there's no easy

Hmm, good point. I always forget about gen-class, because I've been burned by AOT compilation too many times.

Very true. I was just replying to OP's bit about atoms/transactions.

Your argument is to gloss over his doctored videos in favor of the ones you think aren't? Oh well, if being neo-nazi-friendly is OK, will you still defend him hanging out with pedophiles? Here's pics of Ngo hanging out with Amos Y

If he was pro-OOP, why not add all of CLOS?
