Ok, HN, I'm obviously missing something so please enlighten me. Why is this on the front page? I thought that it might be a joke as some people suggested , but it's not, there's an actual app that you can download on iTunes. So... I just do

That said, I do support artists and research, etc, only I do it after I evaluate them and feel like I got something - similar to how I choose to upvote/downvote on HN, only there is no way to downvote a game producer after you have paid fo

I'm confused as to why you think that you're not a programmer. I think it's awesome that you've become such a master with your development environment that you're able to integrate various functionalities not normally found in mere text edi

I'd be genuinely interested in reading a paper on what impact these methodologies have on software development. Does anybody know of any research on this topic?

You're confusing hypothesis with theory. Hypothesis is a proposed explanation that can be tested (i.e. is falsifiable). Theory, on the other hand, is a hypothesis that has undergone extensive testing and has been proven to be a plausible ex

I just had to check which rules apply to some other words, like 'stadium' and 'forum'. Turns out that both 'stadiums' and 'stadia' are valid plurals of 'stadium' while 'forums' is the preferred plural of 'forum', although 'fora' is not inco

Every time a new version of LT playground gets released I feel like a kid in a candy store, looking for all the cool new stuff Chris and the rest of the team put in :). Awesome work, and it just keeps getting better. To be honest, since the

The point is that you need to be well acquainted with the problem that you're trying to solve. If you're developing a new network protocol then yes, you don't need to know what kind of information is going to flow through the network, you n

I'm curious, will there be anything on core.logic in the second edition of "Joy of Clojure"?

I didn't get the feeling that aw3c2 was being a jerk. The demo really does use sprites ripped from Diablo and it's in alpha quality. I could neither move nor attack, all I could do is watch that first monster attack me and wait while it com

Surely there are better ways to deal with this problem. Different languages have different solutions for this, but completely breaking the naming conventions doesn't seem like the way to go.

Why is it important that your code is visually set apart from the rest of the language?

Leiningen, AFAIK, uses Maven under the hood. And I don't really think that people don't appreciate Maven enough, most people consider it to be a great tool. That being said, I've used both Maven (at my job) and Leiningen (for my personal pr

I'm not sure if this is really an improvement. With traditional scrolling, my eyes stay at about the same position while I scroll. With this scrolling, however, after I've finished reading the last line, I need to look up again. And when I

I had the same experience. When I first heard about Clojure, one of the first things I learned was that it was a Lisp. But having read in numerous comments, blog posts etc. that "only the top percentile of programmers use Lisp", and since I

While I agree with you that there should be more than one way to solve a problem (although I wouldn't say Java's philosophy is against that), when it comes to actually writing code, I want to have one clear and understandable way in which s

Thanks for the observation. You're right that it's fairly minimal in the sense that the framework is basically a leiningen template for new projects and a set of libraries that work on top of Ring/Compojure, with most of the functionalities

Mind you, this question wasn't even posted on SO. It was posted on programmers.stackexchange.com which begs the question, on which stackexchange site, if any, would this be a valid question?

I think the other thing that will help -- and I can't imagine that there is much want from the Clojure community -- is a massive framework a'la RoR / Django Have you heard of Luminus ( http://www.luminusweb.net/ )? What do you think about

Isn't the title a bit misleading? According to the chart, Java is the most popular language of the year (and the decade, if you take a look at https://sites.google.com/site/pydatalog/pypl/PyPL-PopularitY... ).
