That's changing soon! We're switching hardware to allow this. I expect that will be available in the next month. Let me know if you're interested in beta testing.

Not yet. We're github-only at the moment.

While a standard .build.yml file sounds nice, I'm not sure we understand the problem well enough to figure out what the optimal syntax would look like. This matters because the syntax has large implications for 1) how simple your build

If you're interested having this kind of setup for your own team, without having to muck with servers, you can use something like https://circleci.com . We use LXC, and pay lots of attention to having fast I/O. [disclo

One thing I've noticed with my own Clojure service at scale, is that eventually, I want to significantly reduce my use of futures entirely. When you're getting started with Clojure, it's easy to do everything that needs to ha

Not enough people say this anymore, but congrats! That first $1/$1,000/$1,000,000 is the hardest. Good luck.

Very cool. Are there any publicly available options for non-AWS services?

by arohner 13y ago
No. Clojure's first public release was before Arc's first public release. Rich was also working on Clojure for two years before release.

On Lisp is great for learning about macros, and what is possible. That being said, what is idiomatic in CL is not necessarily idiomatic clojure. For example, pg tends to like anaphoric macros, ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#

Right, I didn't mean to imply that jfli and foil were new languages. I didn't realize there was a CL version of the compiler, cool! Thanks for the link.

Mongo does have a global write lock. A per-db lock does me very little good when I only have one DB. As to your linked doc, emphasis added: > In some situations, read and write operations can yield their locks. > Long running read a

> whether [Mongo] does/doesn't scale efficiently It doesn't. Three words: "global write lock". Writes block reads, reads block writes. Implications: if you run a query in production that doesn't hit an index

One thing I always find interesting about these kinds of problems is that most DBs don't describe how they're implemented. It's easy to use the wrong tool, and then once you learn how e.g. Mongo is implemented, it's obvi

I'm pretty sure this is wrong. Rich originally made two other JVM/lisp hybrids, one was running java code inside CL, the other was CL on the JVM. [1] Clojure originally targeted the JVM and CLR, but AFAIK, one of the main motivato

I disagree, because in Texas, the sales tax is significantly more clear who is affected. "You have an office in Texas, you pay tax" is pretty simple.

Hi, founder of Circle here. Our focus is on developer productivity. That means we try to make things fast, reliable and low overhead. As far as differentiators, we're pretty fast. We can automatically parallelize your test suite across

Does anyone have a recommendation for a better tool than LastPass? I use LastPass every day, and it's awful. It looks like meldium is headed in the right direction but the last time I tried it, it was still too early.

The assumption that you can distinguish good and bad engineers through their resume is flawed. Some of the better engineers I've worked with didn't go to school. Some of the worst engineers I've worked with got advanced degrees at reputable

Who said I wasn't willing to pay the price? Again, this is about just talking to engineers that 1) I would enjoy working with 2) that are currently hirable. Offers and negotiating on price hasn't entered the conversation at all. Even that

That's specifically about H1-Bs, as opposed to a hypothetical "no limits" visa. He also said "There is no doubt that free and open immigration is the right policy in a libertarian state". Compared to "free and open immigration", yes, H1-Bs

This is amazingly bad statistics. The author is using self-reported surveys of STEM majors who didn't work for an SV company to answer the question of what SV companies are looking for. There are giant assumptions: 1) they wanted to work fo

If you have a VM where strings are immutable and interned, you're right. Java doesn't guarantee that strings are interned (though you can ask the VM to intern it), so Clojure treats them differently. Also, Java declared java.lang.String as
