My, at times perceived, 'neglecting' of past jobs in favor of being available for my wife and son is the very reason my wage has tripled and I'm now doing the work I love. Getting let go from two jobs were the best things to

Japan will not survive in any real way, demographic numbers are such that whatever might survive will not look very much like Japan does now. They simply are not having enough kids, and have been on that path for a very long time with no si

Ancient Greece did not genetically survive. We have remnants of their culture NOT by virtue of their genetic fitness nor the continuance of their civilization, merely because we discovered their artifacts and the people whom they enslaved h

I'd just eco PureDanger's comment regarding the architecture. I'm no expert on the matter but the concept of having the components of the database taken apart, as they are with Datomic, would give you potential arrangements t

I'm self-taught at Relational Database Design. I spent two years worth of about all of my free time learning, and creating, large normalized SQL schemas. One of the things that most struck me was the capacity to get virtually all the a

This opens so many doors all around. I'm literally giddy at this news. I want to leave my day job right now and go home and work on my Cognitect stack web app. I hope I can quickly get to the point where I need to (and then will be far

It's funny you mention this because as I've moved forward in my own personal project, both in learning and in actual coding, whenever I've come upon a need the Clojure community seems to be arriving at filling that need in a

I suppose my position is an outgrowth of my very first attempt to build an application. Every component that I took up and learned the 'right way' to build an application, everywhere I looked, and everything I read, was very count

What I'd like would be a 'From Novice to Employable using Clojure' I've heard some nice things about Ruby, but I think I'm too much of a spoiled noob in my exposure to Clojure. I'd even take a class if it was S

RE your point a) this gets into the semantics of the term dysfunction. I think if we did a point by point walk through of any given portion of the history of US government one could find a bounty of examples of dysfunction. It would simply

The Chinese dynastic system was never designed to be an iterative, democratic system that aimed at providing the pursuit of hapiness. Our system has lasted through changes equal in turbulence to that which we are going through now, just a d

Australia is not on the brightest of trajectories for stability at present. Who needs a brutal civil war to set you back when you just stop replacing your population? At a bit under 1.8 total fertility rate they're doing to their count

I must have mistaken your contrasting academic and ideological as an implicit preference to the academic over the ideological, I did that simply because I presumed that you were against the ideological. While I concede the point on not doin

While you are correct, it does essentially advocate getting rid of it in that it puts forward the example of the Articles of Confederation. My issue is that it's seeking to abolish what exists presently in whatever manner it can manage

It's pride that produces the odious forms of American exceptionalism, not the view that the Constitution is divine writ. Why, praytell, would you prefer the academics give us a replacement? What great thing have the academics gotten ri

Being a citizen of Utah I have to say that this is a refreshing change for our dear Sen Hatch who, generally speaking, is often so ignorant and obtuse in tech related matters. I hope he's got someone waking him up generally to the tech
