   What are the fundamentals of OO? Those principles of immutability and referential transparency seem to require writing pretty unidiomatic code when working with OO languages.

   In a previous thread about datomic, you mentioned trying to have at least 4 gigs of ram, is that ideal for a large app under a lot of load, or basically necessary? Am I going to run into any trouble using it on side projects on my 1 gig VP

   Yes, most people here make absurds amount of money and rage against this kind of thing but for some reason are super hesitant to actually donate to people fighting for things they believe in. If you're a developer, please consider mak

   Running `lein kibit` is super low effort once you've got lein set up, and even having used clojure for years it still reminds of features of clojure.core that I forgot pretty regularly. I think as a noob it would really help you in le

   Save/invest a large percentage of your income, 50+ ideally. If you're making > 650k in a year, 500k in savings doesn't actually sound all that prudent. That's really secondary though, step one is to not have 8 kids.

   And how many years do you think you would deserve for killing him in an alley? How much less likely to kill again would you be after 10 years in prison vs 5/15/20?

   I feel guilty for doing basically anything that isn't actively working to fix our horrible justice system.

    I'm confused as to how javascript is a good middle ground. What does it give you that Clojure doesn't? You do mention the fact that it encourages imperative code and loses immutability. How does it improve refactoring or debugg

    The thing about that is I need money to live. The intersection of things I'd do for free and tasks given to me by other people is very small.

    However, if you're writing katamari code (that is, a tangled ball of garbage), you're sacrificing long term productivity. It seems like most people definitely don't err on the side of too high quality.

    I think I'd put games in the same category as music and painting and novels and all the other pleasures that make us human. What are we solving all those other problems for if not to make more time for things like games?

    I left Ubuntu just because I don't trust them (issues 2 and 3), but I don't understand why people make a big deal about the default DE. I switched to Mint because I know everything "just works" with my laptop on it, and

    I'm new to SF, but as far as I can tell it doesn't get cold enough to create new opportunities, just cold enough to make normal outdoor activities a lot less fun.

    Yes, I find this kind of self deception about the nature of a job much more disturbing than having a negative attitude about having someone else tell you what to do and when to do it. You're collaborating with colleagues to build soft

    I guess it's not actually about OO, more a syntactic thing of having that special implicit parameter, and needing to transform methods methods into procs that call call the method on their parameter, rather than just passing around fun

    Being properly OO kind of messes up the way alot of the HoF stuff works as well, since you don't have a bunch of functions that operate on strings, you have methods on string. You have to have some strange thing like mystrings.map(&am

    Quite happy with vim/fireplace here, though I'm still pretty interested in lighttable.
