Having followed this case for some time now, I almost get the feeling that the judge is taking sides. Now don't get me wrong, I'm definitely cheering on Google and find Oracle's case despicable and absurd, but still.

On the mailing list Chris also mentioned that it "will likely use a browser somehow, but that might be abstracted away into a webview or some such thing so you wouldn't really know." [ http://groups.google.com/group/light-table/browse_threa

I am impressed by the purity. Takes homoiconicity to the next level.

As an entrepreneur/freelancer, I don't have a lot of firsthand experience with Finnish labor laws, but my impression is that in practice such limitations apply mostly to manual laborers in bigger corporations. Going by the book, the labor l

An excellent point. Definitely something we should all keep in mind when promoting cutting edge tech choices. That said, I don't think the matter is quite that straightforward where I come from; I would imagine Clojure dev head count in the

Indeed, the developer base around Clojure and core libraries seems to have reached a critical mass so the continuity in that front is no longer a real concern. However, I think the question was about projects built with Clojure, i.e. how to

I tend to disagree. Unified solutions exist on the level of the core language and libs for both lazy evaluation and (pragmatic) functional purity, and the recent discussion around logic programming and pattern dispatch implementation is a b

Heh, seems like you beat me to the punch by 2min both here and there.

My thoughts exactly. I posted a comment to that effect.

I feel the pain too. MuMaMo doesn't quite cut it for HTML + ERB. That said, I never run into this when working with Clojure, since both the major templating solutions (Hiccup and Enlive) use only one language per file (Clojure and HTML, res

Correct on all accounts. You will still need to query the database at least for the parent object being rendered. The time saved is shaved off from the rendering time.

The general gist of it is that you store HTML snippets (e.g. a todo, a list containing, or a project containing lists) in some quick storage medium (in this case Memcached). Each snippet is stored under and accessed by a key that uniquely i

Actually, to a large extent you can have access to the browser environment. See e.g. the ClojureScript One video and guide: http://www.clojurescriptone.com/ .

The short answer is yes, ClojureScript has similar interop features for vanilla JS as Clojure for the JVM has for Java. However, given that ClojureScript uses the Google Closure compiler to optimize production code, there are a few gotchas

I can only present anecdotal evidence here but I do most of my freelance web dev work in Rails but turn to WordPress for web sites . I'm definitely more conversant in Ruby than PHP, but I think the ecosystem of the WordPress platform, plug

Despite the down-votes, I think you're actually making a thought-provoking point here. As an EU citizen (Finnish) I, too, get the impression that the EU is an opaque entity making decisions that dispute national sovereignty of its member na

Interesting and provocative question. I suppose that there's no way of objectively knowing if the changes are beneficial or even safe. (Come to think of it, how would we even define beneficial?) That said, I find your caution perhaps unwarr

The parent comment doesn't directly mention a directive, but the press release makes a reference to a directive according to which: "[National] authorities must not adopt measures which would require an internet service provider to carry

Judging by the Court press release[1], it would seem that the unreasonable cost of filtering all P2P traffic for copyrighted material (yes, they actually asked for that) weighed heavily in the Belgian case. This would likely not be much o

This is, for once, an amazingly common sense decision, striking a good balance between IP protection, sensible business environment for the ISP, and personal freedom. From the official press release[1]: "The Court finds that, in adopting t

Your reasoning makes sense. There's a fair amount of recent research (see "meditation" via Google Scholar) indicating that meditation does indeed reduce cortisol levels and hence that could be one pathway for its effects. That said, mountin

Hmm, interesting. I can definitely see how age-related changes in the endocrine system could cause certain improvements that are similar to the effects of meditation. And being as it is that I'm still 29, that could be a factor. But if I'm

Did you do Ruby prior to Clojure? It's interesting to see you making the jump to Ruby right as I'm heading down the opposite direction on the Polyglot Interstate. I jumped on the Ruby ride in mid-2007 and the libraries lacked polish; Rails

In that case Daniel Ingram's book Mastering the Core Teachings on the Buddha might be a good place to start. I think it's also important not to throw away the baby with the bath water; just because the techniques are explained in an archaic

I think this understanding of meditation is somewhat mistaken. The techniques of single-pointed focusing are there to help us learn how to keep our minds still, not to narrow down our field of awareness (although one might do so during a pr

I think we need to differentiate between different types of wandering here. I think we can agree that letting our minds roam looking for creative solutions and creative questions is a good think. But it's less useful to have our minds stuck

The book is written by a Western MD and focuses heavily on results. It leans on the classical maps of the path of meditation from Burmese Theravada, a tradition that is about as stripped down and non-theistic as it gets. That said, the maps

Great, I was wondering what would be an idiomatic way of solving this in Clojure. Given the addition of core.logic into Clojure 1.3.0, one could even skip the implementation of cKanren. Although to be honest I'm not altogether sure how core

Thanks for the analysis. Sounds interesting. Yes, I'm less interested in quick scaffolding, be it via code generation or ready components, but clean reusable view components does sound appealing. Rails helpers are great for some things but
