Doesn't have to be just a dream, check out HN's Who's Hiring for September, plenty of opportunities to have your everyday work be in Clojure out there, including our company.

Will new instances created now not have to be rebooted? A lot of people on EC2 can probably re-create their vms now instead of having to wait for the reboot, no?

I'd also add homoiconicity and referential transparency to those :P

My dad still uses Norton Commander or some variation of it to this day. Never forget.

We actually work in the same space you guys do :) We're all dealing with having to display more complex math to students once you get past 5th grade in the Common Core, also on web and iPads. Appreciate you folks taking the time to rel

Heavy mathjax user here. Couple of use cases I'd love to know more about: - does KaTeX work pretty reasonably across the platforms? The simplest way I figured out for rendering math notation in-app on mobile devices was through web vie

I've gotten a lot of mileage from Mint's dashboards when trying to identify where I'm wasting money. I appreciate their email, but the dashboard is actually tremendously useful.

That's very well written, I enjoyed that. I would read your blog/twitter if you had one :)

Completely concur. Dumping my car and moving to downtown SF actually saves me a ton of time and money. Lyft / Instacart / Shyp take care of everything I need and I always have Zipcar if I need it. I can go out on the weekend and n

Thoughts on Highcharts vs Google Charts?

I'd love a tool that solves that problem. Schema / data / user / permission migrations, support for both production and development environments and integration with CM tools like ansible would be fantastic.

I was going to say, there are so many wonderful parallels between the two philosophies. No reason not to merge them.

Semi-seriously, knowing G+, part of me wouldn't be surprised if there was a list of real people's names publicly available somewhere indicating who bought what movie.

Haven't tried this yet, but I'm curious: will this work on stock Ubuntu Trusty Firefox or Chrome without having to go into ricer mode? Amazon rented movies don't work, Netflix doesn't work by default, have to resort to u

We've been very happily trucking along with Ansible the past year or so over here at Front Row. Tried Chef for a few weeks, hated every moment of it, switched to Ansible and it all made complete sense. For us Ansible takes care of conf

Also luckily there are not that many people out there who sustainably only do coding every hour of the day. Eventually real life catches up to you and you can't do that any longer. Also, there are only so many gold medalists every four

1. Is there an easy way of integrating an existing large ansible project with CI to use it for deployment? 2. With continuous deployment, how do you coordinate multiple repositories being changed all at once and potentially numerous migrati

Interesting how this will impact the job market on the West Coast. You'd think that 5-10k people in IT would quickly fill a lot of the currently open positions.

Really convenient product, excellent customer experience. Shipped half an apartment through these guys, would have taken me forever without their crew taking care of everything.

I'm actually a Schema user, I love it, it's pretty convenient for addressing the boundary issue, since you don't have types and cannot really enforce that outside input conforms perfectly to the expected schema without run-ti

For me it's mostly about codebase scaling, refactoring and maintainability. Clojure is liberating and exciting when you're writing a tiny little project, but it's a whole other experience when you need to refactor dozens of f

Yours isn't an uncommon reaction, don't sweat it. I remember being thoroughly confused by what I was reading back when I started learning Clojure, after years in C# and ruby. At first I thought no normal human being could understa

Would strongly recommend the #haskell-beginners channel on Freenode, it's there specifically to support people just starting with the language.

As I said, don't quite recall what those fees are, generally haven't affected me because I don''t have to travel over 180 miles very frequently. If I do, I generally get on a bus or on a plane, but I can see how someone

IIRC it depends on the company. Zipcar doesn't care about miles, but I think CityCarShare does.

I've been pretty happy with swapping driving, insurance, parking, maintenance etc. for living right in the middle of the city very close to work and using Lyft for everything else. Actually saves me a ton of time/money. For just t
