I'm not familiar with anything but, being a fan, I'm curious what part of "The Noose" you're referring to?

I think it's time to face the fact that we all have too many of our eggs in the AWS basket.

Clojure (and Lisps in general) really aren't hard to learn. It just takes those of us that come from C-influenced languages like PHP a little longer to be able to read them at a glance because the syntax is slightly different and usua

There has got to be a better way of achieving reactive templates than what is described in this project though.

I will be so relieved when that anti-pattern goes away.

I really love Clojure--it's a joy to use but, you're right. Maybe I'm misunderstanding this project but it seems like abstractions on top of abstractions and has little to do with being a "web language". That was P

Thanks. I had forgotten all about that.

How do you identify that one truth?

Yes, for all the warts of the language, the worst thing about PHP is the illegible code that gets written by someone who glued together a bunch of solutions they found on StackOverflow. The good news is, in my experience, most of those peo

Early in my tech career I realized pretty quickly that, despite not being a smoker, I needed go outside with the smokers during their smoke breaks because that's where a lot of ideas were discussed. It was where I could continue learn

I am really looking forward to the day that I can build cross-platform GUI apps in Red. Based on Rebol, it is a beautiful yet powerful language. They are always looking for more contributors, if anyone is interested. Here's an exampl

I worked at a company that did away with cubicles in favor of long tables where you had just enough space for a laptop and external display and looking past that display, or to your immediate left and right, you saw the faces of your co-wor

Glass walls behind you... "It’s not as creepy as you think." That's good because I think it's pretty creepy. It's great that everyone get's their own quiet space but what they don't get with those glass

If I'm wrong I'll stand corrected but, it behaves way too much like a web app to not at least be making heavy use of WKWebView.

"The web started to get more suitable for apps probably since Gmail in 2004. It’s very convenient, yet still very limited and has shortcomings." Yes. I worked for over a decade to make web apps behave more like native apps. I fi

When I first saw The Matrix I was mesmerized. I went back every weekend for a month and saw it again. Something I had never done before and haven't done since. The effects were amazing, of course, but, the story was what got me. I

We used Back Orifice on a co-worker’s machine in a call center I worked at. While he was working we would open and close his CD-ROM drive randomly. Restart his machine. All the while we’re four seats down just cackling and he’s turning red

It's all the potential criteria around the request that makes just that one piece more complex than it seems. For example; "Make me a site that does x, you have 2 hours" Do I need to build the app in front of you? Problemat

I don't think this deserves the downvotes it is getting simply because there is some truth to the comment. A good friend of mine worked with a young developer recently who was excited about what he was able to generate with a single np

I haven't listened in awhile because Spotify is such a terrible place for podcasts but, when I did, for about a month or two after he moved to Spotify, it seemed like all he was talking about were UFO's, other conspiracy theories,

I would like to mention Armchair Expert but they cashed in at the Bank of Spotify as well. Such a shame because it's a really enjoyable podcast. That said; Jocko Podcast is good, though the subject matter can be very heavy at times.

Money aside, I personally feel the Spotify deal was terrible for Rogan. He does more for Spotify than they do for him. Not least of which because Spotify, while pretty great for music, is terrible as a podcast player. And, yeah, he has

I think things like that were handled quite a bit more loosely back then. If memory serves, the cover of one of the Deftones albums (the one with the girl in the bathing suit I believe?) came from a random shot taken at a party and the sub
